Main Text Chapter 2069 The Mountains and Rivers Are Smiling, the Mist and Rain Are Far Away
Xu Tangran's main focus was on Miao Yi's secret affairs, followed by the court. As for matters on the Marquis's territory, he only needed to keep in communication with Long Xin.
Just as Miao Yi said to Xu Tangran, he also did not make any exceptions in promoting Fu Qing and others. These people were all stuck in the position of commander-in-chief, but the places they guarded were all strategic locations of the Southern Army. It is an important star gate pass within the territory of the Southern Army.
At this point, with the secret intervention of the Xiahou family, all forces within the entire Southern Army have not rebounded, and the overall situation of the Southern Army has been decided!
The three marshals, the nine star monarchs, the eighteenth princes, and some side officials who were appointed arrived one after another and gathered in the meeting hall of the marshal's mansion for the first time to formally receive the jade certificate of appointment from the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.
As the same saying goes, nothing can be broken without establishing. This time, everyone from the marshal to the commander-in-chief was personally appointed by Miao Yi. When Hao Defang was in office, there was no way to do this directly. Hao Defang could not mess up the entire Southern Army, but Miao Yi was the one to clean up the mess without the resistance that Hao Defang had when he was in power. Of course, this method of direct appointment from top to bottom is only available once. Miao Yi will not be able to do this often in the future. In the future, there will naturally be rules for the top and bottom. You, the majestic king, cannot directly appoint a general. And so on. In this case, how do you ask the people below to manage the territory under your command? Why don't you, the prince, step in and take care of everything by yourself? No matter how big or small it is, can you take care of it by yourself?
Those who received official appointments in the hall were either happy or silent.
After Miao Yi gave everyone some instructions, the generals in the hall dispersed, and Yan Xiao, Su Qingquan and Heng Wudao followed them to the inner palace of the palace.
No matter what happens in the future, at least Heng Wudao fully supports Miao Yi at this time. In the current situation, fully supporting Miao Yi in stabilizing the Southern Army means supporting himself. After the interview, he was the first to say goodbye and hurried back to his own territory. Si Lu The framework has just been set up, and there are still many things to deal with. It is impossible for the prince to come forward for these specific matters, but he has to come up with the results to explain to the prince.
Being able to get the position of marshal was an unexpected blessing for Su Qingquan. This was not the reason for following Pang Guan in the rebellion, so helping Miao Yi stabilize the southern army's territory was also helping himself. For the time being, he also obeyed Miao Yi's words. Come on. He also rushed back quickly.
The last person left was Yan Xiao, who followed Miao Yi silently. His attitude had always been relatively silent.
His situation is different from that of Su Qingquan and Heng Wudao. If he could become Hao Defang's pro-army commander Zuo, he would definitely be Hao Defang's best confidant. Now that Hao Defang was forced to death by Miao Yi, he has become Miao Yi. The marshal under his command felt very complicated, especially since the surrounding environment was so familiar and things were different.
Wandering in the garden, Miao Yi kept gauging his reaction. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just reminded her, "Su Yun is guarding the mausoleum of Prince Hao. Go and see her before leaving."
"Yes!" Yan Xiao agreed and left.
Miao Yi watched without saying a word, and Yang Qing quietly appeared beside him and said: "My lord, I am afraid that Su Yun has death intentions and wants to follow Hao Defang."
Miao Yi was startled, turned around and asked, "Why did you see it?"
Yang Qing: "She explained the remaining forces of the Hao family very thoroughly, and she seemed to have the intention of completing the transfer as soon as possible without us urging her. I went there several times to see her, and she was immersed in the sad music of the piano all day long. The sound of the piano sounds a bit ominous. I'm worried that she wants to fulfill Hao Defang's last wish. Once the brothers Hao Defang handed over are settled, the prince may not be able to keep her anymore. "
Miao Yi frowned and smiled bitterly: "When I heard about her and Hao Defang in the early years, I thought it was a joke and that Hao Defang was being pretentious. But since I saw Hao Defang commit suicide that day, I realized that it was indeed true. Men and women who love each other are both admirable and deplorable! From what you say, this woman might really follow Hao Defang."
Yang Qing: "The hundreds of thousands of men and horses around Hao Defang who fought to the death in the end were able to head-on and block the attack of millions of the most elite troops of Pang Guan without defeat. They are definitely one of the most elite men and horses in the world. The prince is most in need of such guards. , can hold back millions of troops at a critical moment, it would be a pity to disband them. Don’t you want to use them for your own use? If you want to completely conquer these people, you must first conquer Su Yun and let Su Yun convince them!”
Miao Yi also drooled a little when talking about the hundreds of thousands of horses.
Yang Qing added: "Su Yun must be outstanding in being able to become Hao Defang's housekeeper. Hao Defang has been able to sit on the throne for so many years, and she has contributed a lot. Just because she was able to take the initiative for Hao Defang's great cause. It is not easy to let go of the feud with Qingyue to destroy the family. If she can only talk about the things that outsiders don't know about the big bosses in the heaven, she is probably more aware of it than anyone else on the prince's side. If she can get her help. The prince saves a lot of trouble, and its influence on the Confederate Army can help him stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible. Even she surrenders. Isn't it justifiable for the prince to seize the territory of the Confederate Army? For such a person, the prince wants to conquer the world. There are so many talents like this, so why don’t you look for them when you are with the prince?”
Miao Yi sighed: "I understand what you are saying, but if she insists on following Hao Defang, what can I do? I can't keep her tied up, right?"
Yang Qing said: "I have a plan I don't know if it can work, but I might give it a try. Since Su Yun is in love with Hao Defang, she might as well keep her with Hao Defang..."
After hearing the secret words, Miao Yi's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly.
Three hundred miles south of the palace, there are mountains, secluded forests, and water around it. The water is like a ribbon and the mountains are like hills.
There is a cemetery in the mountain, and Hao Defang's body was buried in the tomb of the landowner. The rest of the graves belonged to the Hao family. After the war, all the corpses that the Hao family could collect were collected and buried, including hundreds of people, large and small.
The green hills are still there, but new graves have been added.
Yan Xiao stood in front of Hao Defang's tombstone. The voice and appearance of the deceased were still there, while the living were silent.
On the side, Su Yun is stunningly beautiful, wearing a plain white dress and a long shawl floating freely in the wind. Her bright eyes looking at the tombstone are filled with sadness.
"Are you okay?" Yan Xiaohu slowly looked back at her and asked softly.
Su Yunlue came back to her senses, "Don't worry, I'm still valuable to them. They don't dare to embarrass me. Everything is fine here."
Yan Xiao said: "Niu Youde named me Marshal Maolu of the Confederate Army..." and gave an overview of the current situation of the Confederate Army.
Su Yun was a little surprised. After a moment of silence, she muttered: "You can't build without breaking. What the prince couldn't do back then, Niu Youde took the opportunity to do it. He eliminated the shortcomings and put things in place in one fell swoop. He learned from the mistakes of the Fourth Army. Niu Youde We will no longer allow shortcomings to arise, and the Southern Army will surely become the most powerful among the four armies before too long!"
Yan Xiao: "What should I do now? I want to hear your advice."
Su Yun sighed: "No one thought that he would be so bold before, daring to attack the Southern Army, especially colluding with the Xiahou family, which is a taboo against Qingzhu! In his early years, when his power was still weak, he had an affair with the Xiahou family. , Lord Qing will not take him seriously. Now that he has such a big power and is colluding with the Xiahou family, how can Lord Qing tolerate him? Sooner or later, he will kill him! Yan Xiao, tell the truth, you are actually in trouble! You are not suitable for taking charge of a party. Your ability is more suitable for commanding the army in combat. He named you Marshal Maolu in order to use the prince's remaining influence to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible. Things that fight for power and profit are not suitable for you, and you can't win against them. People. If you have a virtuous person above you and a virtuous person below you, you only need to rely on Niu Youde and use your influence to help Niu Youde stabilize people's hearts. As long as you have no ambition and have good tricks, you will have a virtuous person. Virtue, governing with virtuous people below, such a marshal makes Niu Youde most at ease, Niu Youde will keep you safe, this is the only thing I can remind you, no one can tell what will happen in the future, Qing The Lord must get rid of Niu Youde, and Niu Youde is also a hero. In his early years, when he was weak, he fought hard and struggled. Now that he is in power, he will not sit still and wait for death. In addition, his ability and means are extraordinary, and he is good at fighting. Sooner or later, the Qing Lord will have to kill him. He was forced to rebel, and Niu Youde dared to do such a thing, or he may have had the ambition to conquer the world. Due to the situation, several kings had long since worn out their energy and lost the courage to enterprising. Only Niu Youde was young and energetic. , There are too many variables that can be stirred up, and even we can't understand many things. We are afraid that sooner or later we will have to fight to the death with Qingzhu! "
Yan Xiao said slowly in silence: "Is it virtuous to rely closely on the cow?" There was a slight look of embarrassment on his face, which meant that there is no way to be embarrassed.
Su Yun moved her eyes from the tombstone to his face, and sighed softly: "There is no need to be embarrassed, and there is no need to worry about other people's opinions. The prince has already said it before he died. You have not sorry for the prince. It is the prince who has sorry for you and failed to treat you." Set it up. The prince said that there is no grievance between him and Niu Youde, let the past pass. From now on, you don’t need to feel guilty about anything you do. Live well for yourself and your family. If you can let it go, the prince can rest in peace. ..." After a pause, he then said: "This is what I am saying on behalf of the prince! You have just been promoted to marshal and have many things to deal with. It is not appropriate to spend time here. It is not suitable for you to come here again in the future, otherwise there will be too many people. Think, go ahead and don’t come again.”
Facing the tombstone, Yan Xiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, then stood up suddenly, tightened his lips and made a bow to Su Yun, and said with difficulty, "Take care!" Then he turned around and never looked back. Stride away.
Looking at the departing figure, Su Yun smiled lightly like a lotus blooming slightly. She turned around and moved to the tombstone to touch it with her hands. She shed tears and murmured to herself: "The country smiles, the mist and rain are far away..."
When Miao Yi's figure appeared at the entrance of the cemetery, Su Yun in a long white dress was seen standing next to the tombstone, a flute touching her lips and sobbing melodiously, with tears falling down her face.
The tombstones washed away by rain, the sad people, the sound of the flute, and the thatched cottage on the side gave Miao Yi a shocking visual impact. The sadness played by the flute was refreshing, leaving people with lingering feelings after listening to it. Sad, he finally realized what it means to be deeply affectionate, and he also understood why Yang Qing felt bad when he heard the sound of the piano, worried that this woman wanted to follow Hao Defang. To be continued.
