Mi Han

Chapter 349
Mi Yang is the shepherd of Liang Zhou, nominally the governor of everyone present.

As the saying goes, the emperor worries about the humiliation of the ministers, so when Mi Yang said why he was worried, the faces of most people in the field showed shame.

Under the concept of sharing worries with the master, some state ministers began to speak out to comfort Mi Yang, while others began to use their brains to think of countermeasures to solve Mi Yang's worries.

The atmosphere in the banquet changed from charming to heavy because of Mi Yang's attitude change.

In the increasingly heavy atmosphere, a group of eyes was looking closely at Mi Yang who was sitting on the main seat.

This gaze came from Wu Yi.

Wu Yi looked at the worried look on Mi Yang's face that didn't seem to be fake, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, there is no good banquet!

Wu Yi is different from others, he is a person who is good at analyzing the situation.

Mi Yang suddenly revealed his worries in front of everyone. Could it be that he was just complaining?

The monarch is worried and the minister is humiliated. Now that the monarch has revealed his worries in front of his ministers, they, as ministers, must find a way to relieve Mi Yang's worries today anyway.

Otherwise, everyone in the world will criticize them for being incompetent.

And once this kind of clear discussion is formed, Mi Yang, who already occupies the name, will be able to repel dissidents unscrupulously and plant confidants.

As a result, Liangzhou has completely become his hall of speech.

This is an upright conspiracy.

And if you don't want to bear the reputation of being incompetent, then the courtiers present must come up with a countermeasure to solve Mi Yang's worries.

Is this countermeasure difficult?
It's not difficult at all, Wu Yi figured it out almost instantly.

But that countermeasure was equally unacceptable to Wu Yi!
After understanding all of Mi Yang's intentions, Wu Yi felt that anger was rising and falling in his heart.

How can such things be handed over!
When Wu Yi felt unwilling, the situation at the banquet continued to change under the leadership of some people.

It's not that there are no courtiers to propose countermeasures to Mi Yang, but people's knowledge is different, or some people have selfishness and never say the best countermeasure in their hearts.

Therefore, countermeasures have been repeatedly rejected by Fa Miao, Lu Yi and others.

After a series of proposals were rejected, the banquet suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone knows that Fa Miao and Lu Yi are Mi Yang's confidantes, and their disagreement represents Mi Yang's attitude.

So after being rejected one after another, most of the courtiers at the banquet didn't know what to do.

What exactly does the State Shepherd want?
When everyone was confused, Fa Miao, the head of the state officials, saw that the time was right, so he got up from his seat and went to the hall, bowed to Mi Yang and said:
"I think that in order to solve the concerns of the state pastor, the first thing is to take back Liangzhou's military power, and then fine-tune the army!"

Although Fa Miao's voice was not high, his words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing great waves in the entire banquet hall.

Shocked expressions appeared on the faces of most people in the arena, among which the expressions of shock on the faces of the state ministers in charge of military power were the strongest.

Even Zhang Yi, Meng Da and others who belonged to Mi Yang's direct line did not know Mi Yang's intentions today.

It's not to blame for their reaction, it's because Fa Miao's suggestion was too direct and sudden.

And most importantly, everyone knew what Fa Miao meant, and it was probably Mi Yang's intention.

Of course, compared to the astonishment of most people, Wu Yi seemed even more angry at this time.

It was not what he expected!
The unwillingness and coldness in his eyes were no longer concealed.

Before everyone noticed, Wu Yi quickly exchanged glances with the shocked Wu Ban.

The people with the most military power in Liangzhou are nothing more than his two brothers.

Mi Yang wants to take over Liangzhou's military power, and the two brothers will suffer the most damage in terms of interests.

But regardless of the mood of the Wu brothers at this time, after Fa Miao finished speaking, everyone's eyes were already on Mi Yang.

Perhaps Fa Miao's remarks represent Mi Yang's views to a certain extent.

But as long as Mi Yang, the state shepherd, does not express his attitude clearly, then advice will always be advice and cannot become a formal order.

But when everyone's eyes were focused on Mi Yang, Mi Yang looked at Fa Miao who came out to offer his words, and said with a smile on his face:
"good."

When the good word Mi Yang was uttered, the atmosphere in the banquet was immediately heated up.

Because of Mi Yang's good character, it has become Liangzhou's national policy to collect military power and fine-tune the army.

And how can this point not make all the state officials in the banquet feel a lot of discussion, especially those state officials who have military power in their hands.

Mi Yang has only been in office for a month, and he wants to take back all the military power of his subordinates, which is too radical.

Puzzled, unwilling, worried and other emotions permeated everyone's hearts, which meant that Mi Yang's idea greatly touched everyone's nerves.

Now everyone still doesn't know that what happened at the banquet just now may be a play performed by Mi Yang and his direct ministers.

And now is the time for the drama to reach its climax.

Wu Yi sat calmly in his seat and observed the expressions of the crowd. He found that there were not a few generals like him who did not want their military power taken back.

This is also normal, most people are chasing power, how could they be willing to hand over the power in their hands for nothing.

Seeing that many people had the same thoughts as him, Wu Yi couldn't help feeling a little calm in his heart.

Public anger is hard to offend.

If everyone resists Mi Yang's approach, Mi Yang will inevitably have scruples.

Under this kind of thinking, Wu Yi looked at Mi Yang with observation eyes.

At least at this moment, Wu Yi still had some expectations in his heart.

But the expectations in Wu Yi's heart were quickly shattered by one person's actions.

That person is Ding Feng who has been guarding behind Mi Yang.

When the discussion in the banquet hall was getting louder and everyone's eyes were on Mi Yang, Ding Feng walked out from behind Mi Yang on his own initiative.

Ding Feng, who was wearing armor all over his body, made the sound of iron plates all over his body while walking.

The bursts of noise made everyone's eyes focus on him.

Everyone didn't know why Ding Feng came out at this time.

But soon they will know.

When Ding Feng came to Mi Yang, he respectfully bowed to Mi Yang, and then he took the initiative to say to Mi Yang:
"I wish to hand in all the soldiers and horses in my hands."

After Ding Feng finished speaking, he took out a delicate token from his pocket and put it on the empty food plate in front of Mi Yang.

The token that Ding Feng handed in was a token given to him by Mi Yang when he didn't lead the first battalion.

Now that he handed back the token representing the command right to Mi Yang in front of everyone, he was undoubtedly using actual actions to prove his behavior of surrendering all military power.

And when Ding Feng finished all these quickly, everyone just realized what Ding Feng's behavior represented.

But after reacting, the atmosphere in the banquet became more restless.

Many people don't want to take the initiative to hand over military power. It's not because they have different intentions, but because of their selfishness.

They originally thought that other people were like them, even Mi Yang's direct generals were no exception.

But what they didn't expect was that, not long after Mi Yang's voice fell, Ding Feng, the fierce general in the world, immediately surrendered his military power eagerly.

Is Ding Feng stupid?

Or does Zhou Mu have absolute control over his direct generals?

After everyone remembered Ding Feng's past deeds, their guesses quickly turned to the second one.

And Ding Feng is not an ordinary general.

He was hailed as a leader among the emerging generals of the great Han Dynasty. Among those present who held military power, even Wu Yi was inferior to Ding Feng in terms of military exploits alone.

A general with such meritorious service as him is undoubtedly more qualified than anyone present to resist surrendering his military power.

But what I never expected was that such a person was the first one present to surrender his military power obediently.

This strong contrast made everyone present ask themselves:
If Ding Feng is like this, what about them?
Just when this kind of self-question came to everyone's mind, under the influence of Ding Feng's example, Zhang Yi, Meng Da, Deng Ai, Fu Qian and other Mi Yang's direct generals, like Ding Feng, put the tokens in their arms Seal the letter and hand it in to the food tray in front of Mi Yang.

Even Wei Yan, who was sitting in the seat, subconsciously stretched out his hand towards his arms, but after groping for a while, he found that his arms were empty.

Only then did Wei Yan realize that his military power had not been granted by Mi Yang at all!

After a while, there were already many soldiers' seals on the food plate in front of Mi Yang.

And this scene undoubtedly continued to impact the minds of everyone present.

All the generals obeyed with one word, which is enough to show how much authority Mi Yang has in the hearts of those generals.

After realizing this, many generals thought of the elite soldiers they saw when they entered the state pasture.

That's what Mi Yang deliberately let them see, and the same behavior of many generals who voluntarily hand over their military power is also what Mi Yang deliberately let them see.

But it was this kind of intention that quietly revealed how strong Mi Yang's control over his elite soldiers and generals was.

When this kind of thought continued to deepen in his mind, other generals soon began to hand over the seals of soldiers in their hands to the food plate in front of Mi Yang, like Ding Feng and others.

When one person appears, there will be a second person.

Later, more and more generals who were not directly related to Mi Yang took the initiative to hand over their military power to Mi Yang.

A few quarters of an hour later, the small food plate in front of Mi Yang was already filled with all kinds of soldier seals.

This means that most of the generals in the banquet hall have voluntarily handed over their military power.

All the elite soldiers and generals support Mi Yang so much, so what if they don't want to?

What's more, selfishness is not the same as dissent. There is no need for them to blatantly go against the general trend for the sake of selfishness in their hearts.

It's just that as most of the people handed over their military power, there were still two people in the audience who did not make any moves.

Those two people are Wu Yi and Wu Ban.

Under the circumstances that almost everyone handed over their military power, Wu Yi and Wu Ban's delay in taking any action was undoubtedly a different kind.

Since it is a different kind, it will of course attract the eyes of many people with scrutiny.

Mi Yang was naturally included in this gaze.

Mi Yang rubbed his fingers against the smooth wine glass in his hand, and looked at Wu Yi with interesting eyes.

Although Mi Yang has never had a close relationship with Wu Yi, looking at Wu Yi's family history, it is not difficult for Mi Yang to deduce that people like Wu Yi are very knowledgeable about political speculation.

What Wu Yi did in the past is the standard style of the nobles in the world.

Wu Yi with this kind of style is like a smooth loach in the vortex of power.

His smoothness may be comparable to the smoothness of the wine glass in Mi Yang's hand now, which makes it difficult to catch his sore feet.

Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible, at least now Mi Yang is firmly playing with the wine glass in his hand.

So in this situation, Mi Yang really wanted to know what Wu Yi would do?
Not only Mi Yang wanted to know this, but even Wu Ban, who always followed Wu Yi's lead, was anxiously waiting for Wu Yi's decision.

The feeling of being scrutinized by everyone is very bad.

But as time passed, Wu Yi still hadn't responded.

Seeing this scene, Meng Da present asked Wu Yi in a strange tone, "Is General Zhengbei trying to delay Liangzhou's great affairs?"

As soon as Meng Da's words came out, many people looked at Wu Yi with dangerous eyes.

Under the circumstances that Mi Yang had made a decision and most people obeyed Mi Yang's decision, Wu Yi, as the No. [-] person in Liangzhou, had not made any movement for a long time, which was considered an act of disobedience.

However, as a subject, he openly disobeyed the order of the superior, which can be regarded as a kind of contempt for the superior.

As the saying goes, the emperor worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the emperor humiliates his ministers to death.

Just now, the act of worrying about the humiliation of the ministers has already happened during the banquet. Is it necessary to carry out the step of humiliating the ministers and killing the ministers now?
Thinking of this, Ding Feng, who is fully armored, reacted first.

He couldn't help reaching out to hold the saber at his waist tightly, and then looked at Wu Yi with angry eyes.

His behavior meant that if Wu Yi didn't react, then he would take action.

And Ding Feng's behavior, after being watched by Wu Yi, also made him wake up from the state of meditation.

After waking up, Wu Yi looked at countless pairs of scrutinizing eyes focused on him, and he could only let out a wry smile helplessly.

From the moment Mi Yang invited him to the banquet, everything was Mi Yang's conspiracy.

But knowing that it was Mi Yang's conspiracy, and clearly not wanting to hand over the military power in his hands, Wu Yi has nothing to do now.

The reason why Yangmou is irresistible is that Yangmou is often launched according to the general trend. Under the influence of the general trend, Yangmou will make people weakly submit to the banner of the policymaker.

Mi Yang's status as Liang Zhoumu is a general trend, and the support of elite soldiers and strong generals is also a general trend, and even the scrutiny of him by everyone in the field today is a general trend deliberately created by Mi Yang.

Under the coercion of these layers of general trends, what is the use of the general who conquers the north and the status of a foreign relative?
In the name of a rebellious minister, Wu Yi thought he couldn't afford it.

After realizing this, Wu Yi reached out with a trembling hand and took out a well-made tiger charm from his pocket.

As the No. [-] figure in Liangzhou's military, and as General Zhengbei with an army of tens of thousands in his hands, his soldier talisman was the tiger talisman that symbolized his lofty status.

It's just that now he is going to hand over this piece of tiger talisman to Mi Yang.

Wu Yi approached Mi Yang step by step with the tiger talisman he took out.

The closer Wu Yi got, the more clearly he could see the food plate in front of Mi Yang, which was filled with all kinds of soldiers' seals.

Perhaps now, in Mi Yang's eyes, the many seals representing power are just a main dish that he can taste at any time tonight.

The distance between Wu Yi and Mi Yang was not far, he soon came to Mi Yang, and then presented the tiger talisman in his hand to Mi Yang.

Seeing that Wu Yi was finally willing to hand over his tiger talisman, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

From then on, in Liangzhou, he was the only ruler!
