Yang Yi, the general commander of the county soldiers of Anyang County, has been living in fear these days. Originally, everything went well, but the Western Qin army did not attack when they approached the city, but retreated after the column ransacked Anyang County and extorted countless gold and silver treasures from Cheng Pingzhi, the defender of Anyang County, and Anyang City was unscathed. Of course, in the recital to the imperial court, it is natural that it cannot be written like this, in the recital, headed by the county guard Cheng Pingzhi, he Yang Yi is the general of the city, commanding the whole army, waiting for the battle, the whole city of Anyang, all the soldiers, the strong thieves of the Western Qin, seeing that there is no gap, have to retreat. Along with the report, there is also a large list of credits for the performance.

Of course, it is not that the court does not understand people, but everyone carries the sedan chair, and among the soldiers of Anyang County, there are a large number of children of court officials who cross the gold here, even if they know what is going on, but everyone will still agree with this concerted effort.

At this moment when the western frontier army was completely wiped out, they just held the credit of Anyang City, and it will become extremely dazzling, and with this credit foundation, it will lay a good foundation for transferring from here to another place in the future.

But what made Cheng Pingzhi and him both uneasy was that after listening to this recital, there was no news, and there was no follow-up, and the news from the capital immediately afterwards made the two of them even more shocked.

Especially Yang Yi, such as mourning. The crown prince Min Ruocheng fell, and what was even worse was that Yang Yihe, the left minister, also angered the emperor because of his efforts to protect the prince, and was also forced to resign and return to his hometown.

Cheng Pingzhi is not enough, he is in this position, although he did not clearly express his support for the prince politically, but under the influence of Zuo Lixing, between his actions, he is still quite biased towards the second prince Min Ruoying, the crown prince fell, and the second prince ascended the throne, for him, maybe it is a good thing. What shocked him was the real reason for the destruction of the western frontier army that had been passed on from the capital.

This is a document marked as top secret, signed by the second prince himself, and only issued to the county guard, even Yang Yi does not know why.

Shock was followed by anger. The prince's move, not only pitted Zuo Lixing, but also put him on the fire to roast, if he really lost Anyang County, he, the county guard, would be the official of the mourning land, which would be held responsible. He was filled with righteous indignation, and he originally wrote a letter asking for the severe punishment of the crown prince Min Ruocheng, but after thinking about it, he still suppressed it, but now he is glad that he did the right thing, because of this matter, there is no follow-up.

It seems that the emperor's body is no longer good, and the heart of licking the calf arises, and he can't bear to attack his son, which is also human nature, but when he thinks of the fate of Zuo Lixing and the 60,000 western border troops, Cheng Pingzhi can't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

But that's it, at this juncture, any outrageous behavior is taboo, Cheng Pingzhi started the disaster relief work in an orderly manner with an unchanged and ever-changing attitude.

This is the first time since he took office, but many local officials in Anyang County have been local officials for one or two decades.

Compared with Cheng Pingzhi's indifference, Yang Yi was not calm. He and Yang Yihe, the left minister, although they are relatives, but I don't know how many turns they have turned, Yang Yihe doesn't remember whether he is a relative or not, but in normal times, he is holding this everywhere, lest others do not know. If you want to get rid of it now, you can't say it clearly with a thousand mouths.

Every time I think of this, I can't help but hate it in my heart, Yang Yi and you, an old immortal, aren't you looking for death by yourself? The prince has done such a big thing in the world, and you still have to protect him, this is completely the birthday boy hanging himself, looking for his own death. It doesn't matter if you want to die yourself, but you have to involve a large number of innocent people!

Yang Yi naturally classified himself as innocent, and at this moment, he naturally forgot that he had been smooth sailing in the officialdom over the years, relying on the great reputation of this leftist minister. He said that he was a relative of Zuo Xiang, could it be that someone dared to ask Yang Yihe if he could do it? And even if you really check it, you can really get some relationships.

What was once glory is now a deadly drag. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me!

Yang Yi can feel the changes happening around him. The first is his deputy Su Qian, who used to bend humbly when he saw himself from afar, and greeted him with a smile, these days he has held his head high, and he has been haunting himself from time to time in front of him, and his title has changed from the previous General Yang to Brother Yang. Suqian, a person from a civilian background, has no background, but his martial arts cultivation is quite high, and the level of the seventh-level peak is much stronger than himself, and he is good at drilling camps. But I haven't looked down on him much. He also seems to be inferior to his own background, and has always been low in front of him, and it is precisely because of his caution that he has been getting along with him happily in the past few years.

But now it seems that the other party is going to turn over and be the master.

"Even if you don't have me, it's not your turn to be the master of the rivers and lakes." Whenever he saw Suqian's straight back in front of him, Yang Yi scolded in his heart.

If the change in Suqian only made Yang Yi feel that the world was cold, then the change in other people's attitudes towards him made him feel panicked, first of all, Cheng Pingzhi.

Last night, Cheng Pingzhi called Suqian, discussing the deployment of Anyang County and the suppression of bandits, after the chaos, there will inevitably be bandits fighting, such a matter that requires the mobilization of county soldiers, Feng Junshou actually did not call himself the chief officer, the meaning here is too clear.

And today, I went to the money and grain department of the county guard to collect the May salary, and Ping was the money and grain official with a smile on his face, and he would always take out an extra 10% to please his pickles, but he actually put on a straight face and played an official tone with himself, and finally only gave 80% of the food to himself. What did the county warden say, now in times of crisis, the county soldiers should share the crisis with the people of the county and tide over the difficulties together.

Phew! Yang Yi took a hard bite in his heart, but he just saw that he was in danger, and wanted to beat the water dog and step on himself again.

It is the norm of life to hold high and step on the bottom in the officialdom, and Yang Yi has done it himself, but when it is his turn, he is naturally extremely uncomfortable.

Even the little officials who were not eye-catching in the past dared to practice themselves, it can be seen how much their situation has deteriorated, these days, Yang Yi is not even willing to go to the military camp, among the county soldiers, most of the generals with troops are people with backgrounds, and the level of information is sometimes faster than that of the county guards, and these people, their faces change, naturally faster.

Dragged along the street and led the horse to the house, it seems that the family must be sent away first, and the little family wealth accumulated over the years must be transferred away quickly, otherwise when the second prince changes his face, he will definitely suffer from the pond fish. I don't dare to escape, but can I resign in front of him, so as to make room for people, and also appear to know each other, or in exchange for the favor of some people.

Over the years, except for being a little greedy, I haven't done anything evil, and I don't expect anyone to chase after my life! Preparing for the worst in his heart, Yang Yi let out a long sigh.

"General, general, Madame told you to hurry home." In the distance, a family member ran in front of him, sweating profusely.

"What's going on at home? In such a hurry? Yang Yi shouted dissatisfiedly, he is still the commander of the county soldiers, in this county town, that is the well-known number two person, and the family has such a demeanor that has made the pedestrians on the street look sideways.

"General, someone from the capital is here, it's the internal guard!" The family lowered their voices, but they couldn't suppress the trembling voice.

Yang Yi's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, internal guard! How could it be an internal guard from the capital? In addition to having a little kinship with Yang Yihe who can't beat him, he has never done anything hurtful, what are the internal guards from the capital looking for?

The first reaction was to flee. But where to flee? Madame and children are still at home, doesn't this push them into the fire pit? It's useless to go to Cheng Pingzhi, just his attitude towards himself in the past few days, if he doesn't step on himself, he is benevolent and righteous.

Gritting his teeth, he straightened up, threw the reins of the horse to his family, and with his hands behind his back, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and walked home step by step.

Stretching out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, what else?
