back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 513 Exchange of Official Positions
By the time Wang Shao was fully dressed and came to the main hall of the Yang Mansion, Yang Wenguang had already prepared the incense case, and together with a group of civil and military officials from Fengsheng Prefecture, they were waiting for the imperial edict.

And the person who announced the decree turned his back to the incense table, as if he was in a trance towards the distant sky.I saw that this person was also wearing armor, as if he was from a warrior.Wang Shao pondered in his mind: "Is it possible that the emperor really wants to demote Yang Wenguang? Otherwise, why would he send a warrior to announce the decree?"

Generally speaking, eunuchs are the eunuchs who announce the decree, either Xiaohuangmen or the emperor's personal eunuchs, depending on the importance the emperor attaches to something.And those who directly sent civil servants or military officials to declare the decree, most of them took office immediately and sent the decree to the post.Wang Shao looked at everyone in the Yang family, and there was a look of panic on their faces, and some glared at Wang Shao.Because they all believed that if it wasn't for Wang Shao, how could Yang Wenguang have taken the blame and lost his official position?

Wang Shao knew very well that the more they defended, the less they would believe it.On the contrary, Yang Wenguang had a calm and understated expression, as if nothing was lingering in his mind.He even cast a reassuring look at Wang Shao, as if to say: "This old man is already old, why haven't we seen any troubles? Isn't it just a demotion, don't take it to heart!"

Before Wang Shao could taste anything, the person who announced the decree had already turned around with the imperial decree in hand.When Wang Shao saw this person, he was taken aback: So he was an acquaintance!

"Isn't this Weiyuan Marquis Han Fan? Could it be that he is going to replace Yang Wenguang and be the state shepherd of Fengshengzhou? He is a privy direct bachelor, a third-rank Beijing official, how could he be willing to come to Fengshengzhou and be a second-rank official?" State Mu, what is going on here?" Wang Shao's thoughts turned sharply, but he couldn't figure out why.

Yang Wenguang saw that everyone had arrived, so he said loudly: "Scholar Han, all the officials of Fengsheng Prefecture have arrived..." The implication is that the decree can be announced.

Han Fan smiled and nodded, signaling Yang Wenguang to burn incense.After the three sticks of incense on the incense table were burned, Yang Wenguang kowtowed three times and sang, "Greetings for peace!"

Han Fan suppressed his smile a little, and said solemnly: "Saint Gong'an!"

Immediately, Han Fan spread out the imperial decree and said: "The imperial edict said: Yang Wenguang, the shepherd of Shengzhou, is familiar with the art of war. Since he was appointed as the shepherd of Shengzhou, the Liao people did not dare to go south. , to show his strength. Although there have been extraordinary actions recently, it is also for the sake of the country. I have heard that the three armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. In addition, the Liao people are getting better and better every day. I am very troubled. Retire from office and return to Beijing to serve as a privy direct bachelor. Han Fan, Marquis of Weiyuan, is loyal and pure, and skilled in the art of war, so he can be a substitute. Hongxiang is on the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the fourth year."

Yang Wenguang bowed three times and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you for your kindness!"

After Han Fan read out the imperial decree, he replied according to the etiquette: "Heaven's grace is mighty, Master Yang must thank you!"

Yang Wenguang kowtowed three more times, and said: "Your Majesty teaches, I will always obey my resignation!"

At this point, the imperial decree has been read out.Most of the people present were military generals, how could they understand the eloquent imperial decree, so they couldn't help asking: "What is written in the imperial decree?"

Yang Huaiyu will be happy now, Yang Wenguang actually entered the Privy Council!This is a Beijing official. There is a saying that I would rather be a ninth-rank Beijing official than a fourth-rank state capital.The treatment of Beijing officials is not comparable to that of local officials.What's more, it's a privy direct bachelor, this is a third-rank Beijing official, a real job!
Happy, Yang Huaiyu explained triumphantly: "Daddy is going to the capital to be a third-rank official!"

Hearing this at the first glance, these big bosses quit: "Hey, why are you demoted?"

"That's right, even if Zhou Mu is not promoted, at least he won't be demoted?"

"Could it be that the imperial decree made a mistake?"

……

After hearing these words, Yang Huaiyu's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about, can a Beijing official compare to a magistrate? You don't understand this at all, you are so stupid as grandma's house!"

After listening to these big bosses, they realized that this was a bright fall and a dark rise!Everyone was beaming with joy: "Aren't we afraid that the state shepherd will suffer from him? By the way, why don't we have a transfer order?"

Han Fan explained with a smile: "Everyone, from now on, I will serve as the State Shepherd of Shengzhou, and General Yang will be transferred to the Privy Council, with a bright future! As for you, His Majesty has no transfer orders for the time being, why don't you stay with me for a while?" After a few years, I will definitely recommend you to His Majesty after I return to Beijing?"

Although Han Fan came from a family of generals, he had never really led a soldier.Lu Chengqi didn't trust him too much, so he didn't plan to recruit the generals of Shengzhou, so that they could assist Han Fan to become familiar with military affairs as soon as possible.After all, Fengsheng Prefecture is the barrier to the north, and it must be guarded by a capable general.

But in this way, each of these big bosses had an opinion, and they didn't say anything, but each of them was like a defeated rooster, and their spirits and spirits were all wilted.Han Fan thought in his heart: "Your Majesty is really familiar with the psychology of soldiers, and it is exactly as expected!"

Han Fan continued: "Everyone, don't be dejected. Your Majesty even asked me to bring a reward. Everyone has ten pennies!"

Money touches people's hearts, and Han Fan used Lu Chengqi's money to buy people's hearts, and finally he was able to calm down these arrogant soldiers a little bit.When these big bosses heard it roughly, they immediately cheered.You know, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Fengsheng Prefecture, and each of them has ten pennies, which is not a small amount!Ten strings of money, the purchasing power in Fengsheng Prefecture is still very sufficient, these big bosses changed their faces immediately when they heard that they were rich.

Han Fan knew well that they were being polite to him only for the sake of money.But I still need to be clear: "Don't tell about the rewards from your majesty. This is your majesty's oral order. Do you understand? Your majesty said that anyone who dares to leak information will recover the rewards. The ten pennies are treated as It's paid, understand?"

These big bastards might take it back when they heard it, they nodded honestly and said, "Design!"

Han Fan said to Yang Wenguang again: "Old General, Your Majesty can't wait to see you. You should move your family to Chang'an as soon as possible. Your Majesty has rewarded a mansion in Chang'an..."

Yang Wenguang sighed: "Your Majesty loves me so much, how can I afford it?"

Wang Shao smiled and said: "This is what the old general deserves!" The implication is that since Yang Yanlang, three generations of the Yang family have guarded Fengsheng Prefecture.How can such a great achievement be measured by a mere mansion?
Han Fan said to Wang Shao again: "Commander Wang, His Majesty also has an order for you to go back to the Royal Military Academy as soon as possible to complete your studies. Of course, after you return to Beijing, you still need to meet the saint."

Wang Shao said hastily: "The last general is in command!"

After Han Fan explained the matter, he went to hand over the military affairs under the leadership of these Fengshengzhou generals.Fengsheng Prefecture is the northernmost border town of Dashun, guarding the main road.If the Khitan wanted to attack the Central Plains, they must pass through Fengsheng Prefecture.Otherwise, they can only detour through Youzhou and Datong Mansion.However, there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Fengsheng Prefecture, all of whom are elite soldiers and strong generals. If there is an encirclement, it will be difficult for the Khitan to fly even with wings.The Khitan people are not stupid. If Fengsheng Prefecture is not eliminated, the Central Plains will be hopeless.So Yang Wenguang and Yeluren first fought in Fengsheng Prefecture for more than [-] years, winning and losing evenly.But Fengsheng Prefecture was still firmly in the hands of Dashun, and the Khitan people wasted their time, and they got nothing but buried many soldiers.
