Taking advantage of the opportunity to search Yu He's residence, the Pingyuan Army took out over ten sets of gold grade equipment from within his Bessa City. He handed them over to Tang Yin in front of numerous officials, indicating that he had found them in the Palace's Silver Bank.
Tang Yin picked up a gold equipment, waved it in front of the officials and said: "How is it? Everyone, as you have all seen, this is the benefit that the barbarians are giving to Yu He!
Of course, everyone could recognize that all the gold objects were from the Savage Country, but they were not found out by Yu He's Silver Bank, so they couldn't say anything. However, no one dared to question Tang Yin at this point of time, they could only nod their heads vigorously.
Just then, Qiu Zhen walked in from the outside and faked a few more letters, saying that they were proof of Yu He and his Savage Country having an affair.
Tang Yin said to Qiu Zhen: "Draw up a document, I want to pass it to Your Majesty!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Qiu Zhen nodded and replied.
Very quickly, Qiu Zhen finished writing the documents and handed it over for Tang Yin to look at.
The latter took it and read softly: "Thief Yu He, collude with a vassal force and receive property while leading troops to invade. You find the evidence irrefutable and are afraid that the situation will escalate further. Now that we have no leader in the Tianyuan County, and no soldiers are allowed to move, please quickly choose a candidate and quickly assist the capital. "
After looking around, Tang Yin felt that there was nothing wrong with it, he returned it back to Qiu Zhen and said: Immediately send people to ride horses to the Yan City!
"Tang..." Master Tang! " Zhang Zhi Cheng called out with a trembling voice.
"What is it?" Tang Yin turned back and looked at him suspiciously.
"There are carrier pigeons in the county that send messages to the capital. The upper echelons of Master Tang can be sent through carrier pigeons and they can be delivered to the Yan City in two days. This way, quite a bit of time can be saved."
"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed when he heard it, and muttered: "So it turns out to be such a convenient method!"
Tianyuan County was very far from Yan City, so it would at least take ten days to half a month to send a message. With a carrier pigeon acting in place of them, the time would be greatly shortened.
Firstly, he wanted to please Tang Yin by reminding him this, and secondly, he also wanted to know the attitude of the Imperial Court people after finding out about this as soon as possible. After all, they were currently being held by Tang Yin and their lives were not guaranteed.
A carrier pigeon sending a message was a great disrespect to the king if it was an ordinary messenger pigeon passing a message. However, it could be used in urgent military matters. After he dismissed the higher-ups, Tang Yin stayed in the County Head Palace, watching over the people in the Palace while waiting for Imperial Court's reply.
During this time, Qiu Zhen had suggested to Tang Yin that he should immediately transfer Shangguan Yuanji to the Shunzhou to take over all the affairs in the county.
On the other hand, Tang Yin felt that since the Imperial Court had not yet been sent back for approval, it was not certain who would be the one to take over the Shunzhou, it was still too early to ask Shangguan Yuanji to come over.
Qiu Zhen did not think much of his concerns, and replied sternly: "Master, no matter who the emperor decides to replace Yu He, you must become this County Magistrate."
"Why?" With these words, not to mention Tang Yin, the other generals were also baffled.
Qiu Zhen said faintly: "From the moment Sir decided to kill Yu He, it was equivalent to taking us on a road of no return. If other people were to become the County Head, they would definitely continue to investigate about Yu He, and would very quickly discover the flaw, at that time, Master would definitely not be able to get away with it, so, no matter who becomes the County Head, if anyone comes, we will have to get rid of one, until Master takes this position. If anyone causes dissatisfaction with the Imperial Court, and comes to ask for punishment, we can only rely on the heavenly peril of the Heaven Pass to establish ourselves as king in the Tianyuan County! "
"Huh?" With this said, everyone was shocked.
Killing Yu He was something that Yu He could definitely kill, but to establish himself as the king, wasn't that equivalent to rebelling? Everyone was dumbstruck. For a moment, they didn't know how to react. They looked at each other but no one said anything.
Qiu Zhen looked around at the crowd and said faintly, "Yu He is the distinguished head of the county. Does everyone really think that if you kill Yu He, no one will investigate this matter in the future? "Now that the matter has been exposed, not only are the adults guilty, but none of us will be able to escape. Therefore, all of you should be like me. It's fine if you are promoted to become the county's head, but if you choose anyone else, we will all become our own kings.
After pausing for a moment, his expression eased up, and he laughed leisurely: "You all don't have to worry too much. The Heaven Pass is dangerous, and easily defensible, and is hard to attack.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen weirdly. Hearing his eloquent speech, it was clear that he had planned this beforehand. He had initially hinted that he could kill Yu He in order to turn him around.
This Qiu Zhen! However, Tang Yin did not like Qiu Zhen taking action on his own, he did not want such a big thing, why not discuss it with him first? Now that his head was up, he could only go along with his idea. He had no other choice.
Looking at the crowd, Tang Yin secretly sighed, and said: "I am the one who did this, it has nothing to do with you all. If you are afraid of Imperial Court's fault, you can resign now and leave the military affairs.
Without waiting for others to speak, Shangguan Yuan let out a few loud laughs and said repeatedly, "Interesting! Master Tang, I will do it with you! " He was the type of person who wasn't afraid of getting into trouble. The more crazy something was, the more he was willing to do it.
The two brothers, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, were naturally not willing to be left behind as they said, "I am also willing to follow you, Sir, regardless of whether I am against you or not, I will stay by your side!"
Then, Le Tian, Ai Jia, Gu Yue, Li Wei, Chen Fang, Liu Zhong Sheng, Cheng Jin and the rest all cupped their hands and said: "Master has shown us kindness, we are willing to die to help you!"
As the Spirit Cultivator of Dark, for him to be able to receive such a high evaluation from Tang Yin, there was naturally no need to be grateful. On the other hand, Le Tian, Gu Yue and the rest had been following Tang Yin for a long time, from the bustling and peaceful Yan City to the chaotic battles, they had no complaints.
Just as they finished speaking, Xiao Muqing followed them and immediately said: "Master, you are truly worthy of respect. I can see how loyal you are to me." Xiao Muqing would not waste any opportunities to flatter him. Even if he had to express his admiration, he would praise himself first.
The reason why he decided to follow Tang Yin was because he had thought it through, first, Tang Yin was able to recognize his ability, give him great trust, and then, attach importance to it.'s own ability was also not ordinary, and there were a lot of capable people under his command, such as Shangguan Yuanji in his internal affairs, Qiu Zhen in his advice, and now that there was an extra person, Shangguan Yuan, now that his overall strength had increased by a level, if he used Tianyuan County as the starting point, he could definitely do a lot of things in the future.
Once the two of them chose to leave, the immediate consequence would be a great disorder in their Pingyuan Army.
As an honest man, Zhu Nuo did not have to worry too much. Seeing that everyone had expressed their willingness to follow Tang Yin, he did not hesitate anymore and cupped his hands together: "This subordinate is willing to stay by Master's side and follow you up the mountain of blades and sea of flames.
Although Qiu Zhen's expression was extremely relaxed, his heart was already in his throat. After hearing Zhu Nuo's declaration, his anxious heart was immediately reduced by half, and then he looked at Bai Yong. He pretended to be relaxed, and urged with a smile: "What's the meaning of this General Bai?"
Right now, only Bai Yong remained silent.
Bai Yong was a rare talent in the arts and arts within the Pingyuan Army. Not only did he have a high cultivation, his mind was also extremely sharp.
Hearing Qiu Zhen's question, the corner of Bai Yong's mouth moved, but in the end, he did not speak.
Seeing his troubled look, Tang Yin said faintly: "General Bai, you don't have to make it difficult, even if you withdraw, I won't blame you. Right now, we have captured quite a few Savage Country treasures, when we return to the Pingyuan County, you can go to the warehouse to pick some.
Tang Yin was very cruel to his enemies, but he was very considerate to his subordinates. It could be said that his blood was cold, but his heart was hot.
Soldiers die for their own friends! Bai Yong had followed Tang Yin for a long time already, so he knew his character, and when Tang Yin finished speaking, he kneeled on one knee, cupped his hands, and said: "This subordinate is willing to follow Master, to live and die with Master, and to advance together!"
"Alright!" Tang Yin was overjoyed. Taking two steps forward, he extended his hand to help Bai Yong up.
At this point, all of the officers under Tang Yin's command expressed their stance, and swore to follow Tang Yin until their deaths.
Although this declaration seemed insignificant, it was actually extremely important and far-reaching.
In the past, although they were generals under Tang Yin, their loyalty to Feng Country was to the Sovereign King of Feng Country. Their relationship with Tang Yin was just that of their superior and subordinate, and was also a colleague in the official field of Feng Country.
This transformation was the true foreshadowing of the formation of Tang Yin's power, as well as providing a human foundation for his rapid rise in power in the future.
Accepting Qiu Zhen's suggestion, Tang Yin transferred Shangguan Yuanji to the Shunzhou and then moved the entire family from the south, moving everyone from the County Magistrate Mansion to the Shunzhou, and then directly moved into the County Head Palace. In addition, he also allowed Shangguan Yuanji to select a suitable person to replace the county governor of two counties, Sanshui and a new county guarding Pingyuan County.
On the other side, Tang Yin did not relax either. The first thing he did was to force the three generals who were captured to hand over the military power. Only by controlling the army could he be considered to have the entire Tianyuan County under his control.
Sanshui County and Chifeng County both had two legions, with a total of twenty thousand soldiers each. Adding them together, there were merely fifty thousand soldiers, and back then, there were eighty thousand soldiers in Pingyuan County County alone. From this, it wasn't hard to see the importance Tang Yin placed on the military.
