Since mid-August, there have been obvious signs of recovery in various parts of the Jingjiu Dynasty. From villages, small towns, to Zhuangzi around the big city, as well as various businesses in the big city, they all began to quickly regain their vitality as before.
Evil? It is very rare to see them anymore, even less than two years ago. It seems that they are really scared to kill this time.
As for those evil monks, they hid themselves deeply, and the nests they lost one after another did not bring much harvest. They obviously ran away prepared in advance, and now they have shrunk to nowhere.
How do ordinary people understand deep things? All they know is that they hear no more dangers around them and see no danger. So after a short wait and see, why don't they seize the time and get back to work?
The carriage and horse racing business is the most intuitive reflection of the revival of vitality in the old Jing Dynasty. They shuttled on the official roads connecting various places, and they exchanged bulk commodities. When the danger decreased, they ran more diligently, and vice versa.
The changes in this recovery happened from the bottom up, affecting people upward step by step. Finally, the information from all aspects was summarized and reported to the emperor.
To be honest, when Yang Shu got the recent people's livelihood report notes from Xuanqingwei, Zhongshuyuan, and the Ministry of War with different aspects, he felt a rare sense of relief in his heart, just like the secret after a secret resistance was successful. happiness.
The most intuitive feeling is "Shen Hao is really a blessed general as King Yongsheng said! And his ability is the best in the country!" He actually doesn't need any actual support from the country. Under such circumstances, just by borrowing the name of Fenghong Villa, the country was able to quickly reverse the situation that had been corrupted for more than a year, and it only took more than half a year.
Isn't this better than those old men in the temple who only talk about clichés? Isn't it more powerful than those military units that are okay externally but always a bit uninteresting internally?
Even in the words of King Yongsheng, Shen Hao not only solved the chaos that had plagued the country for more than two years, but also opened the hole in the sect circle even wider. Even in the future, the dynasty can legitimately use some middle and low-level forces in the sect. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented beginning.
Of course, helping Yang Shu resolve a hidden crisis was also a very important part. . Otherwise, when the dynasty is completely corrupted, the civil and military forces in the temple will inevitably force Yang Shu to change his previous decision. By then, the emperor's prestige will be ruined, and many conflicts will arise between the monarch and his ministers.
So now Shen Hao's status in Yang Shu's heart has been infinitely elevated. He has even slowed down the idea of Bai Changqing coming up to take over Cao Guobang's position as left prime minister in his heart, because he is concerned about Shen Hao's feelings. After all, Bai Changqing had a hard time with Shen Hao face to face before, and he doesn't want Shen Hao to let him go. I have an extra knot in my heart.
It's just that the trip to Mingshan on the ninth day of next month may not be peaceful. Yang Shu was a little worried that the super sect would cause trouble. Although Shen Hao expressed full confidence, Yang Shu always believed that some precautions should be taken beforehand.
So after discussing with Yang Xiusheng, Yang Shu decided to transfer half of the Golden Sword Camp to Shen Hao as a guard in the name of Fenghong Villa. When the time comes, he will follow Shen Hao to Mingshan and station at the foot of Mingshan to give Shen Hao a peaceful scene. Whenever there are any changes, we can respond and respond as soon as possible.
In addition, this is also Yang Shu and Yang Xiusheng's response to the two super sects: Want to beat Shen Hao? Then let me ask you if you have the courage to go head-to-head with Jinjianying. If you dare to mess around, come and see.
After all, directly pressing half of the Golden Sword Camp at the foot of Mingshan Mountain was already an act with sparks, and the reaction was extremely harsh.
However, apart from Shen Hao's trip to Mingshan, which made Yang Shu a little worried, he was even more worried about the trip to the underground palace of Fusi City in October after the Mingshan Sect Sword Trial Conference.
But it was a pity that the trip to the underground palace involved "red", so the emperor had no way to open the skylight to Yang Xiusheng and explain it openly. Even if they both knew the existence of "red", they couldn't talk like this in front of their faces. The only way is to let Yang Xiu Sheng make detailed strategies and try his best to ensure that Shen Hao can still escape unscathed this time.
It's not like Yang Shu never thought about going to the weird dungeon in Black Flag Camp to find Shen Hao under the guise of "finding Ji Ji to vent his anger" and give Shen Hao some hints alone. But his idea seemed to be noticed by "Chi". In recent months, whenever he had the thought of going to the Black Flag Camp, he would be tortured by the "cobweb" on his chest and had no choice but to give up.
This made Yang Shu feel quite uneasy, worried that "Chi" had really seen something. Did he think he would no longer be able to go to the weird dungeon in the Black Flag Camp?
The thoughts in his mind had reached this point. The eunuch on the side walked carefully to Yang Shu and reminded him that the left minister Cao Guobang had arrived outside and had been waiting for less than half an hour.
Yang Shu responded, came out of the warm soup, opened his arms, and a palace maid helped him dry his body, then wrapped himself in a loose robe and went to the side hall.
"My lord, see your majesty!"
When it comes to etiquette, Cao Guobang is definitely the most solid among all ministers. If he can kneel on both knees, he will never kneel on one. What? sit? Cao Guobang has never sat on a stool, and he won't sit on any given seats. He says he likes to stand or kneel. I don’t know where the energy comes from with these old bones, and I am not afraid of being crippled.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, now that the chaos in the country has been restored, vitality has revived in various places, and the people are running around telling each other in joy. This is due to your Majesty's sage and the bravery of the soldiers below. Therefore, I have the courage to fight for the enemies below to defend the country. The soldiers asked for merit and asked for your majesty’s promise.”
This is the responsibility of the left prime minister and the process that should be followed. Of course, it is up to the emperor to decide whether to reward someone in the end, but generally speaking, there is no reward or not. The only difference is the strength of the reward.
"Have you prepared the charter?"
"Yes, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Cao Guobang has always been nothing special in Yang Shu's mind. You might say he has no ability, but he doesn't make any mistakes and does things very smoothly. But if you expect him to solve some difficult problems, you can't. At most, he will let you get through things a little bit left and right.
Let’s just talk about the board reward regulations in hand. This is basically the same as the previous board rewards. All aspects are taken care of, but there is no point in focusing on it. Just two words: average.
No one can be blamed.
Yang Shu glanced at Cao Guobang who was kneeling in front of him, and did not think of asking him to get up. He paused deliberately before saying, "Remove the previous punishment for Xuanqing Guard, and the reward for the Qianhu Official level will be halved. , the broken ones are added to the heads of the frontline soldiers. However, the Black Flag Battalion must be taken out separately and the rewards will be increased.
The army will make rewards according to the rules and regulations of normal triumphs, and let the Ministry of War do it themselves. The local yamen will do what you do above. Go ahead. In addition, it is reported to the world that the evil chaos has been put down to calm the people's hearts. "
