"Get up!" Tang Yin put down the book in his hand and set his hands at will.
"Thank you." Zhang Xin got up and stood aside with his hands down.
Tang Yin took a look at Zhang Xin and waved, "what are you doing there? Sit down and talk. "
"Yes Zhang Xin should a, carefully sat down opposite Tang Yin's desk.
Seeing that he was prim and upright, Tang Yin couldn't help laughing and said, "Zhang Xin, you're an important official of Fengfeng. Don't be so rigid in front of me?"
It's not easy for Tang Yin to say that he is an important official. Zhang Xin's body was shocked and he quickly arched his hand and said, "thank you for your kindness."
Tang Yin shook his head and laughed. He stopped talking about this useless nonsense. He asked directly, "why did you go into the palace and the emperor came out of the city to pick me up?"
Zhang Xin zhengse said: "since the King became the king of wind, he led the strong wind to win many battles. First, he calmed down the northern region, and then took back Hedong. Then he annexed eight counties of Ningguo, which made our gale dominate the north. No one can compare with him. What's more, the king also has the merit to rescue her. It's of far-reaching significance to marry Princess besa this time. It's reasonable for the emperor to go out of the city to meet her It can also show the emperor's respect for the king and make the king more famous. "
Tang Yin nodded and then asked with a smile, "then why do you grab the toast from the emperor?"
Zhang Xin quickly left the seat, knelt down again and kowtowed: "please forgive your majesty!"
Tang Yin raised his head and said, "get up, I don't blame you."
Zhang Xin got up and said, "the emperor salutes the king. The emperor must be angry with the king and bear a grudge against him. I am not sure whether the emperor will poison the wine, and it is not good to remind the king directly. Therefore, he can only drink the toast of the emperor first, so as to test whether the wine is poisonous."
So it is. Tang Yin has already guessed Zhang Xin's intention clearly. Now that he says so, Tang Yin is not surprised. He asked with a smile, "Zhang Xin, have you ever thought about it? If the wine is poisonous, you can't live if you drink it
Zhang Xin's face turned red, and he said excitedly: "the kingdom of wind can have no ministers, but it can't be without a king. The king is the body of thousands of gold, and the minister is just a rotten life. If you can protect the king's safety with the minister's life, even if you can let the minister to pieces, you will never say goodbye."
Tang Yin was deeply moved by his generous words. Although there may be exaggeration in his words, it is true that Zhang Xin tried wine by himself regardless of his personal safety. How can such a person not let Tang Yin trust him and reuse him?
Tang Yin sighed and said, "this is your luck. Don't take such a risk in the future. I'm not afraid of the mere poisonous wine. What I'm afraid of is losing my right arm. Do you understand Zhang Xin? "
Zhang Xin was willing to take such a big risk. What he wanted to change was Tang Yin's words. He knelt down again and said with a choking voice: "how can a minister be so loved by the king?"
Tang Yin stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Xin up and said, "I can see your loyalty and ability. I think you are the pillar of the wind, and I hope you can do your best in the future. ”
"I am duty bound!" Zhang Xin said without thinking.
Tang Yin nodded, took Zhang Xin back to the cave, pondered for a moment, and said, "our country is about to send troops to TIA. I will send a letter to Tongmen tonight to send the third water army stationed in Tongmen to the west of Ningdi."
Zhang Xin said: "our country has now joined forces with Besar, and there is no longer any worry. It is the right time to send troops to TIA."
"What you said is consistent with Qiu Zhen." Tang Yin said: "when the Sanshui army went to fight in TIA, Ningdi had to shoulder the logistic supply of our army. However, Cai song and Zhang Zhe had always been at odds. They often impeached each other. The court needs to send someone to Ningdi to mediate and take charge of our army's logistics. After thinking about it, I still think you are more suitable. Zhang Xin, what do you mean?"
"The king has a destiny, and the minister will do his best." Zhang Xin arched his hand and said.
"Good! It's up to you. " With these words, Tang Yin untied his sword, patted it on the table, pushed it to Zhang Xin, and said, "this time you go to Ningdi to collect grain and grass, military pay and supplies. If anyone dares to give up and perfunctorily, you can kill first and then report later."
Ah? Hearing this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but take a chill. The authority to act first and act after is too great, and it is also too deterrent. How much trust and attention should be needed to let the monarch delegate such a large authority? Zhang xinleng was there, staring at the sword in front of him. After a long time, he came back to his senses. His hands trembled and held the sword tightly. Then he knelt down on the ground, holding the sword in both hands and holding it high. He said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll assure you that our army's officers and men will have no worries about logistics with their heads on their necks."
Tang Yin patted him on the shoulder and said, "OK, you go back and get ready. Start as soon as possible."
Zhang Xin kowtowed and bowed out of the study. He left the palace almost all the way, until he came back to his home, he felt his body was light, as if stepping on the clouds. At this moment, he deeply felt that his adventure today was worth it, and it was very worthwhile. Until now, the king really trusted and valued him.
Tang Yin sent a letter to Tongmen and dispatched the Sanshui army stationed in Tongmen to advance westward.Having been stationed in Tongmen for such a long time, the Sanshui army headed by Liang Qi and Shangguan yuanrang was ready to go. There is nothing to do on weekdays. The basic training is everyday. Although there are a large number of new recruits in Sanshui army, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved through intensive training during this period.
After receiving Tang Yin's order, Liang Qi, without any delay, immediately marched westward, crossing most of Ningdi and entering the former Liangzhou of Ningdu in half a month. Ningguo has been destroyed and Liangzhou is no longer the capital of a country, but it is still the largest and most important economic, cultural and political center of Ningdi.
When he arrived in Liangzhou, Liang Qi ordered the whole army to stay outside the city for a few days. After half a month's rapid march, the Sanshui army is also tired up and down. If it does not recuperate, it may break up before the war starts.
Naturally, Zhang Zhe and Cai song in Liangzhou were warmly entertained. For fear of being robbed by Zhang Zhe, Cai song directly took Liang Qi and shangguanyuan to his home, and then did not let them leave. He asked them to stay in his house for accommodation.
Liang Qi and shangguanyuan had a hard time getting over their hospitality, and Cai song was indeed very considerate. So they settled down in CAI's residence.
Liang Qi had planned to take a few more days off in Liangzhou, but he had not stopped since he lived in CAI's house. Many people came to see him every day. Some came to get in touch with each other, some came to get in touch with each other, and many came to give gifts and seek jobs. Liang Qi, who lived in Liangzhou for only two days, led the whole army to advance westward.
After passing through Liangzhou, the third water army no longer marched in a hurry, but went to the west without delay to maintain the physical strength and combat strength of the whole army.
March more than half a month, Sanshui army arrived at Ningdi western border, Xingcheng.
The city is located at the border of Ningdi and TIA, and the territory of TIA is twenty miles west of the city. Because of its adjacent relationship with TIA, Xingcheng was deeply influenced by TIA. Even the city's pools were of castle like architectural style, and the city was full of towers, tall and magnificent. Compared with other cities in Ningdi, it was totally exotic.
In the past, when the city was prosperous, there were many merchants in the city. The people who lived in the city for a long time accounted for 20% to 30% of the city's population. Now Ningguo was swallowed up by Fengmo, and TIA was invaded by Duchi. Most of the TIA people in the City returned to their own country, and the prosperity of the city declined.
After the Sanshui army was stationed in Xingcheng, Liang Qi began to actively prepare, create and find excuses for sending troops.
On the other hand, in Liangzhou, shortly after the Sanshui army left, Zhang Xin, appointed by Tang Yin, arrived.
When Zhang Xin arrived at Liangzhou, he immediately ordered all counties and counties in Ningdi to deliver grain, grass, gold and silver, and materials to Liangzhou. He set corresponding targets for all counties and counties. He ordered the counties closer to Liangzhou to deliver them within 10 days, and those far away from Liangzhou to deliver them within 20 days. Even the farthest counties should not exceed one month.
Next, grain, gold, silver, and materials from all counties of Ningdi began to flow into Liangzhou. Ten days later, the counties near Liangzhou completed their tasks as scheduled, but Zhang Xin did not give up. He drew up a list of officials of these counties and counties, and ordered the Tianying army who stayed in Liangzhou to arrest these officials immediately with Tang Yin's sword.
There are more than 30 officials involved in his list, ranging from counties to cities. Ziying didn't know what was wrong with him. However, the king's sword was in his hand, which was no different from the king's presence. Ziying also arrested all the officials involved in the list according to his intention.
Twenty days later, when the second batch of materials arrived, Zhang Xin still drew up a blacklist and handed it to Ziying. More than 50 officials were arrested this time. A month later, the third batch of goods and materials were sent. Zhang Xin still did not let go of the officials of these counties and counties, and drafted a list of officials with more than 100 people.
After three arrests, nearly 200 Ningdi officials have been captured by Zhang Xin. There is no need to examine them one by one. Zhang Xin closed his eyes and convicted the arrested officials of taking bribes and perverting the law, seizing people's wealth, taking advantage of the common people, and so on.
Although these charges have not been examined, they have been determined one by one. Cai song, who is in charge of Ningdi, is a huge bribe. When someone gives him a heavy gift and buys an official post, it is natural for him to change Ben Gali's plunder and earn back the money he had sent out ten times and one hundred times.
What kind of person is Zhang Xin? He is a wily old man. All the way along the way, he can judge that the corruption and bribery in Ningdi have been corroded to the bone. He will not miss this excellent opportunity to show himself. So when he arrived in Liangzhou, he arrested nearly 200 local officials of Ningdi, and all of them were sentenced to death for the crimes he added casually.
