Chapter 156 [Royal Profits]

The Wujun army finally set off from Hanye City under the leadership of Ximen Leizang and continued to advance towards Lantian City, with the purpose of harassing the Wu family army behind and assisting the attack on the Wu family on the Elbe River front.

The establishment of the inspection team had a positive impact on the restoration of the order in Hanye City. Under Zhao Xiqiao's personal leadership, 800 inspectors were spread throughout Hanye City. Once they encountered those who were randomly killed, Zhao Xiqiao would be killed on the spot without hesitation. The remaining three generals of the family also issued military orders, not thirsty to kill innocent people, and not rape them. Women who were sexually levied can only plunder money, and those who violated the military order will be killed without forgiveness.

After two days, the order of the entire Hanye City became well-organized. Needless to say, the soldiers of Wujun took away a large amount of property, and the remaining three families tried their best to plunder every inch of the land in Hanye City, and the benefits they obtained were really rich. The Han family was the first army to enter the city, and the property they obtained was incomparable to the other two families.

As for the captives, the several families agreed to wait for the imperial court's order before making a decision.

I didn't wait too long. At noon on the fifth day, the decree of the capital came indeed. The man who sent the order was a very smart eunuch with slender eyebrows and a smile on his face. He was very well-behaved. When he arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, he did not act like an emperor's airs. Instead, he saluted several generals frequently. When he saw Zhao Xiqiao, he said with a smile: "Master Zhao, the emperor has been thinking about you. Before our family came, the emperor has told me to see if you have lost weight!"

Zhao Xiqiao's eyes were red and he said respectfully: "The priest is God, and Zhao Xiqiao has not been remembering the priest for a day." He asked softly: "Dude, is the dragon body of the priest good?"

The clerk of the Tongshi Chamber smiled and said, "The Master heard that you all captured Hanye City and killed the rebels. The dragon's heart was very happy and the dragon's body was healthy."

After a greeting, he shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Xiao Huaijin, led a group of leaders, generals and deputy generals to kneel on the ground, and even Han Mo was among the crowd.

The young eunuch around me received the golden imperial edict, and the Tongshi Sheren said, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: "Bozhou rebels violate the laws of heaven and poison the creatures. The great rebels are actually angered by the people and gods of the world. I have promoted the king's army and urged the western frontier to pacify Bozhou in order to follow the laws of heaven. Now that the Ye bandits have pacified the generals, the generals have made great contributions, and they will be presented with the military merit book, and rewarded them one by one." After reading this, the Tongshi Sheren coughed twice, looked at Zhao Xiqiao, and continued to proclaim: "Zhao Xiqiao, the governor of Bozhou County, is not afraid of the tyranny of the Ye bandits, and follows the laws of heaven. He is loyal to him. Now he is granted the title of Viscount of Bozhou, and is given a Qinglong sword to control the life and death of Bozhou County, and to control the people's livelihood of Bozhou County. I am honored!"

Everyone was shocked, and Xiao Huaijin raised his head even more taboo, turned to see Zhao Xiqiao who was also a little dazed.

The title of Yan State was Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, and Zhao Xiqiao was named Viscount, which directly surpassed the baron and entered the fourth level of viscount. Just imagine that Grand Master Xiao and Cao Yin were just titles of Marquis, which shows that the emperor's favor to Zhao Xiqiao was really unparalleled.

More importantly, the Qinglong Sword given by His Majesty the Emperor is even more extraordinary. It is a symbol of imperial power. If you hold the Qinglong Sword, you will have the right to kill first and then report.

In other words, His Majesty the Emperor gave Zhao Xiqiao great power.

Xiao Huaijin was so angry that Zhao Xiqiao, who almost died in the dungeon like a wild dog, did not want to turn over so quickly. Relying on the power of the Xiao family, he finally got the title of a baron, but Zhao Xiqiao easily got the title of a viscount, which made him feel depressed.

Su Guanya and Han Xuanchang looked at each other and frowned.

They are definitely not just seeing this mere ban, but thinking of some practical problems.

At that time, Bozhou County was controlled by Ye and Wu's family, and the imperial power was not majestic here, but after the Ye and Wu's family were executed, the power of the entire Bozhou County would be void.

The emperor treated Zhao Xiqiao so well, but in fact, he handed over the supreme power of Bozhou County to Zhao Xiqiao. Without the interference and influence of the Ye and Wu families, the weight of this county magistrate is much more heavy now. Zhao Xiqiao is a firm royalist. In other words, the royal family wanted to take the opportunity to control Bozhou County.

Before the aristocratic family reached a tacit understanding, when the aristocratic family had not divided the power of Bozhou County, the royal family immediately began to prepare to control Bozhou County. This was really a ruthless move.

In addition to reputation and some power in Yanjing, the current royal family of Yan State has no land that they really control in the entire Yan State. It is precisely because of this that the political situation in Yan State is abnormal.

Now, the royal family is preparing to take down a piece of land.

Zhao Xiqiao was stunned for a moment. Obviously, even he himself did not expect such a great good thing to fall on his head. He looked solemn and bowed: "I thank the priest for your kindness!"

The people in the public affairs house had someone to take the Qinglong sword, and Zhao Xiqiao took it carefully with both hands, and the expression on his face seemed very sacred.

Xiao Huaijin couldn't help asking, "Eunuch Ling, he, Zhao Xiqiao, is named viscount, so why should I be named?" He lives in Yanjing and knew that this common housekeeper was a close eunuch named Linglei by the emperor.

The general affairs clerk put together the imperial edict and smiled and said, "General Xiao, don't be anxious. The marquis will arrive soon. You will record the military merit book. The emperor also said that if there are great merits, the court will not hesitate to reward you!"

Everyone was stunned, Xiao Huaijin frowned and said, "Marty?"

The Tongshi Sheriff smiled and nodded and said, "Changde Hou led the Wolf Armor Camp to Bozhou County, and I guess it's time to arrive!"

When Han Mo heard this, he felt a little furious. He didn't expect that Changdehou, who was neither male nor female, would come here, and thought in his heart that it would be better to avoid it after Changdehou entered the city.

Before he could think about it, a cavalry rushed over, the knight turned over and dismounted, and came forward and reported, "Tell the general, fifty miles outside the city, thousands of cavalry are coming here!"

Xiao Huaijin was stunned and asked, "What flag?"

"It's Wolf Armor Camp!"

Everyone was even more shocked. Cao Yin came so fast, like the wind. It seemed that the royal family was bound to win the land of Bozhou County.

If the royal family really got Bozhou County, it would definitely not be a good thing for the major aristocratic families. However, the Wolf Armor Camp was sent out, so the members of the Kyoto Cabinet naturally knew that they could not stop the arrival of the Wolf Armor Camp, and the aristocratic army here did not dare to take any action easily.

There is no doubt that the royal family took advantage of the mutual constraints of the aristocratic families to find loopholes to take over this land.

After all, no other family can allow other families to occupy this wealthy Bozhou County. In this way, the stalemate is inevitable and the royal family is just right to take action. It can be said that the royal family should have prepared this move long ago. This time, His Majesty the Emperor completely used the aristocratic family.

Several of the main generals looked very ugly, and even Han Mo frowned.

The clerk of the public affairs house smiled and said, "All sirs, please get up, maybe the marquis has entered the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of horse hooves sounded. A team of cavalry rushed from the east. One of them was the first to be a white helmet and armor, and the cloak was pure white. Under his seat was a fat white horse with no hair, and it was extremely majestic. Each person and one horse looked elegant and picturesque. He was really handsome and unparalleled. Who was it if it was not Changde Hou Cao Yin?

Behind him were more than ten strong wolf armored warriors, like wolves and tigers, and the horses under him were all first-class, with black armor and black helmets, wearing a long sword around his waist, holding a flag with the big word "Cao".

The five major camps of the Imperial Army in Yanjing are considered to be the most elite army in the entire Yan State. Compared with individual soldiers, although they may not be able to compete with ten of these aristocratic armies, one is more than enough to deal with three.

Seeing Cao Yin coming, everyone who had just stood up came forward unwillingly and waited quietly in front of the county magistrate's mansion.

Cao Yin stopped his horse, his handsome face with a faint smile, and he glanced at the person in the middle. Seeing Han Mo also in the crowd, he looked happy in his eyes and got off the horse.

Everyone immediately said respectfully: "See the Marquis!"

Cao Yin smiled and said softly, "Forget it, you have worked hard." He asked Ling Lei, the clerk of the affairs office, and said, "Have the decree been announced?"

Ling Lei bowed and said, "Go back to the Marquis, it has been announced!"

Cao Yin nodded, walked to Zhao Xiqiao, and said with a gentle voice: "Mr. Zhao, the emperor trusts you to me. You must carefully prepare the land and soil of Bozhou County."

Zhao Xiqiao said seriously: "The officials must devote themselves to their entire lives until they die, and will never let down the expectations of the emperor and the marquis!"

Cao Yin nodded and said, "It's fine if you understand." He took off his helmet and handed it to his subordinates. His long hair was floating. If Han Mo hadn't known that this guy was a glass, he would have really admired his peerless style.

"Everyone, go in and talk, it's cold outside!" Cao Yin said lightly, looked at Han Mo and smiled, "Han Mo, are you here too? Come in and talk together." He led the way to the mansion.

Except for Han Xuanchang, the others were a little surprised that Cao Yin valued Han Mo.

After Xiao Huaijin was surprised, he looked at Han Mo for a few glances, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. He naturally understood Changdehou's unique hobby. Unexpectedly, Cao Yin fell in love with the boy from the Han family and couldn't help but gloat.

When they arrived at the lobby, Cao Yin sat down in the main seat, Zhao Xiqiao and three main generals sat left and right, and Han Mo could only stand behind Han Xuanchang.

"I am in accordance with the will of the emperor and lead the 5,000 Wolf Armor Camp to guard Bozhou County!" Cao Yin said straight to the point: "You are leading the army to fight and destroy the Ye family, and you have made great contributions. The emperor is very pleased. Now the overall situation has been decided, and the Lantian City may be compromised in the past two days. The soldiers worked hard, so after a day of rest, you will lead the army to withdraw."

Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but say, "Retreat?"

Cao Yin's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Xiao Huaijin and said lightly: "General Xiao, do you want to stay and enjoy the scenery of Bozhou County?" He held his chin with his left hand and said softly: "A horse is flat, the spring trees are fragrant, the lake is like a mirror, and there are even more beautiful beauties. No wonder the general wants to stay for a few more days. But now it is winter, and there is nothing good to look at. Even those women wear their clothes tightly. If the general is elegant and enters spring, he can come to have fun and relax. Wouldn't that be more beautiful?"

Xiao Huaijin wanted to speak but stopped, but he was obviously a little dissatisfied, while Han Xuanchang and Su Guanya were both silent.

As the head of the Su family and one of the members of the cabinet, Su Guanya left Beijing this time and arranged many things in the capital. However, when the Langjia Camp arrived, he did not get any news. It is obvious that Cao Yin came this time, but he was acting secretly.

A whole battalion of wolf armored camps came to Bozhou County, but there was no news coming to Yanjing, which further showed that the royal family had been planning for this matter for a long time.

Cao Yin said again: "Your military merits are naturally necessary to remember the list of military merits, and I will reward you in retrospect. However, I have to learn two great achievements, so I can personally present the emperor." After a pause, I glanced at the person in the middle of the man's eyes and said calmly: "It is said that Ligu Pass was broken, and someone opened the gate of Ligu Pass. I want to know who opened the door. And this Hanye City, it is said that someone opened the city gate, and I want to know who opened it. These are two great achievements, so I have to ask clearly that it is better to present the man to give it a great reward!"

Xiao Huaijin browed tightly and couldn't help looking at Han Mo, but saw Han Mo smiling at him.
