Chapter 421
While Jiang Yunchuan was excited, he secretly kept his vigilance in his heart. He looked around quietly, and saw all the officials standing in a row, silently. For a while, he didn't notice any changes.

At this moment, after Gao Yu encouraged him, an eunuch stood up, opened the imperial decree, and announced the reward to Hengshan.

For this, everyone had already been psychologically prepared, originally thinking that it was the imperial court's shame of paying Hengshan 2000 million taels for beautification.I don't want to, when I read it to the end, the eunuch said that Lin Yifan was made the Duke of Hua, and the Xiazhou and Xizhou were set up, and Lin Yifan was appointed as the shepherd of the four western states of Xia'an and Shaxi, and the general regent of the military and administration.At the same time, he also served as the Trilateral Jiedu Envoy, in charge of the northern border military.

As soon as this edict was announced, everyone was dumbfounded.This, this court is too generous.

But at this time, except for Jiang Yunchuan, the faces of the other three suddenly darkened.

Jiang Yunchuan was startled, and immediately came to his senses, it's too bad, this is Cao Ji's plan to alienate him.The so-called Duke of Hua is the title of the monarch of the ancient Hua Kingdom in the era when the feudal lords were fighting for hegemony, and its territory is located in the Huazhou area.Cao Ji's move was intended to provoke the relationship between Hengshan and Huazhou Li Yuan.You know, this Hua Guogong has been coveted by Li Yuan for a long time.The Sanbian Jiedushi is in charge of the northern border defense, and its scope has covered Mingzhou Tieqiang Pass and Yanzhou Qianren Pass and other border fortresses.The rewards given by the state herdsmen of the four provinces actually imply that Hengshan is powerful, so as to arouse the vigilance of the three forces, and to separate and divide the people.

If Hengshan accepts this edict, the just-concluded declaration against barbarians, as well as the previous alliance, are very likely to collapse.Then, the external environment that Hengshan will face in the future will be even more sinister, and business exchanges will definitely be hit.

But if he refuses, then Hengshan will become the laughing stock of the world when he played the banner of the Kuangfu royal family before.One must know that the emperor personally presided over the award, if Hengshan refused to accept it, wouldn't it be contempt of Tianwei and outrageous?Although everyone knew that the emperor had long been hijacked by Cao Ji, the people of the world did not understand this. Once public opinion is formed, Hengshan's reputation will be ruined and the people's hearts will be betrayed. This is really not good for Hengshan.

How can I do?Jiang Yunchuan's cold sweat broke out slightly on his forehead. At this moment, the future situation of Hengshan is already in his hands. If he makes a wrong choice, the consequences will be disastrous.

Cao Ji on the side looked at Jiang Yunchuan coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a look of complacency.Lin Yifan, you little bastard, you dare to unite with other people to blackmail the old man, today, the old man will let you taste the pain of the enemy, hehe!

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yunchuan constantly weighed the pros and cons, thinking about how to break the situation.

After the eunuch kept urging him to accept the decree to thank him, Jiang Yunchuan finally made up his mind and immediately bowed respectfully: "On behalf of my lord, please accept the decree and thank you. Long live my emperor!"

After finishing speaking, he took the imperial decree carefully, glanced at the three people with livid faces, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, on behalf of my lord, I implore the emperor to show mercy. The land of the four states of my lord is already difficult. The three-sided Jiedu envoy is really powerless. Now that Yanzhou and Mingzhou troops are in charge of the two states of Yanzhou and Mingzhou, my lord has nothing to worry about. Therefore, I implore the emperor to appoint Lord Muqi of Yanzhou as Yanzhou Jiedu An envoy to take charge of the military and political affairs of Yanzhou's frontier defense; he appointed Mr. Mu Yang of Mingzhou as the Jiedu envoy of Mingzhou to take charge of the military and political affairs of the border defense of Mingzhou. In this way, my lord can go all out to sit on the northwest border of the empire, guard the land for the country, and guard the Central Plains .This minister is loyal and loyal, looking forward to my emperor's grace."

Gao Yu was startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look down at Cao Ji. At this time, Jiang Yunchuan's words were beyond everyone's expectations, and he didn't know how to respond.

Cao Ji looked at Jiang Yunchuan with a gloomy face, thinking secretly in his heart that he was cunning. He never expected that he would give up the power and position of the trilateral military governor so simply, in order to show his goodwill to Yanming and Mingzhou.But he can't stand up to oppose it now. If he opposes it, wouldn't it cause Yanming and Mingzhou to transfer their resentment to him?Even he couldn't let the ministers in the palace stand up to oppose. Everyone knew that at this time the court was full of his people, which was equivalent to standing up against him himself.

At this moment, Shen Li suddenly stood up from among the ministers, and said with a loud smile, "Master Jiang's words are reasonable."

Everyone looked at him in unison, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.Jiang Yunchuan looked at him coldly, secretly wary in his heart.

Shen Li didn't care about the gazes of the crowd, and went straight forward and said, "My Majesty, I think that what Mr. Jiang said is reasonable, and the scope of power of the three-sided military governor is too broad. The Jiedu Envoy is indeed incapable, and two deputies should be appointed under him to be responsible for the affairs of Mingzhou and Yanzhou respectively. Mr. Jiang, this strategy is feasible, and I ask my emperor for permission."

What, that's what it means?Everyone was stunned again, how can they explain it like this?

Cao Ji was overjoyed in his heart, he stood up immediately, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible, please allow me."

"I beg for my emperor's permission!" After receiving the instruction, all the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison.

At this time, Jiang Yunchuan's face was gloomy, and he stared at Shen Li firmly, and all the solutions he had just thought of to solve were all destroyed by him.

Gao Yu looked coldly at the intrigue of the people below, and although he was extremely reluctant, he had to nod his head in agreement. "I agree."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunchuan couldn't help but close his eyes in disappointment. He lost this confrontation, and Hengshan also lost.

After answering correctly, the court did not intend to give any rewards to the other three parties, and not long after, they announced their withdrawal from the court.

The four people who were originally in the same spirit, parted ways with Jiang Yunchuan immediately after they walked out of the hall, and left in a hurry with a look of anger on their faces.

Jiang Yunchuan looked up at the turret of the imperial city and sighed slightly.So far, cracks have appeared in the situation of the four-party alliance, although it will not break diplomatic relations or even cause conflicts.But if the hearts are not in harmony, it will be difficult to jointly restrain Cao Ji.

At this time, a faint voice came from behind, "Master Jiang, why are you sighing?"

As soon as Jiang Yunchuan heard the voice, his anger surged upwards, he glanced back at him coldly, and snorted coldly. "Master Shen, it seems that I underestimated you. Unexpectedly, I was defeated by you today, and I, Hengshan, fell into a passive position because of you."

"Haha, people have their own masters, and they can't help themselves." Shen Li laughed happily, "I still look at Brother Jiang, no wonder, if you don't dislike it, I would like to ask Brother Jiang to come to Linxianlou to make amends. Is it possible?"

"Hmph, no need." Jiang Yunchuan looked at him indifferently, "Master Shen, you don't know anything about the power of Hengshan, even if you encounter a slight setback this time, what is it? How can you know what happened today? I, Hengshan, will be blessed in the future? I have important things to do, so let’s say goodbye, and hope to have some time with you here in the future.”

Looking at the back of Jiang Yunchuan going away, Shen Li frowned slightly, "Hengshan, don't underestimate it."

Jiang Yunchuan, who returned to the posthouse, found that the three of them had already left, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile. The words of explanation and consolation he had just prepared were in vain.

Therefore, Jiang Yunchuan contacted the Hengshan Commercial Bank in the capital to purchase a large amount of food and supplies to supply the needs of the [-] refugees along the way.At the same time, let him dispatch manpower to assist in the management of the refugees and escort the money.Fortunately, there are soldiers sent by Cao Ji to guard the road, which can ensure safety.

Then, Jiang Yunchuan secretly found the shadow guard's stronghold, wrote the result of this negotiation into a letter, handed it over to the shadow guard to write the code, and sent it to Hengshan with a carrier pigeon.

In order to supervise Cao Ji's fulfillment of his promise, Xie Ming will stay in the capital until three months later, when all the money is handed over to the refugees.And he, along with this huge team, returned to Hengshan together.

As the fluttering pigeons spread their wings, they headed north.In the north of Yanzhou, an astonishing piece of news is rapidly spreading southward.
