Chapter 321 Do you know that Lord Qingyang has another identity?

Marquis Pingyun is willing to recruit Earl Qingyang into the Imperial City by offering him the position of deputy commander of the Imperial City Armory!
Xun Huo's words made many people in the hall open their eyes wide.

The Imperial City Armory is not just an office stationed in the Imperial City, it is also in charge of the millions of weapons and armors surrounding the Imperial City.

The Imperial City Armory should actually be an office that stands alongside the Ministry of War, responsible for training and controlling the military forces of the world.

Almost all border troops and garrison troops of all parties, including generals above the rank of captain, need to pass the assessment of the Imperial City Armory and Armor Department and hold documents issued by the Imperial City Martial Arts School before they can be qualified for inspection by the Ministry of War.

The Imperial City Armory is home to not only martial arts masters, but also many military strategists, and even famous generals of the Qin Dynasty.

If you can serve in the Imperial City Armory, you will not only be the emperor's personal soldier, but also have the opportunity to hone your skills and learn.

When he is sent out, he will be the leading general in charge of a region.

Even though Zhang Qingyang is now the commander of the three towns in Black Ice Taichung, he is only a military earl.

Who among those who commanded a large army in the Great Qin was not a war lord?
Before going up the jade steps, a gleam of light flashed in the eldest prince's eyes.

It seems he overlooked a lot of things.

If Yu Kuizhen had not said that Zhang Qingyang was at the Dragon Elephant Realm, he would probably not have taken such a person seriously.

Even though he is in his position and is not afraid of the powerful Dragon Elephant, the Dragon Elephant Master is still a top-level master in the world.

Any one such person could change the world.

Even among the Qin royal family, some trends!

"No—" an official in a green robe shouted in the hall.

As soon as the sound was heard, he realized that he had acted too hastily and quickly retracted his head.

Whether the Military Affairs Bureau wants Lord Qingyang, and whether the Black Ice Platform releases Lord Qingyang, are matters for the future.

Now, at this moment, the emperor summoned important ministers to discuss the issue of national war. What they have to do now is to stop the national war and block Zhang Qingyang's plan!
Sure enough, Emperor Yuankang, who was sitting at the top of the table, had a somewhat cold expression on his face.

The Qin emperor could not help but compete with both civil and military officials.

The key to controlling subordinates is balance.

The emperor's mindset is to manage both civil and military affairs. Although there may be friction, they need to work together to sharpen each other.

When faced with major events, it is a big taboo not to put national affairs first!

"Left Chief Censor Feng Lun of the Imperial Censorate is to go to Qi to discuss the expulsion of Wei and the destruction of Zhao. He will depart tomorrow."

Emperor Yuan Kang's voice sounded faintly.

The official who had spoken just now had a pale face. He bowed to the emperor behind the chief's desk, then stepped out of the hall.

Qi, Zhao and Wei were jointly resisting the Qin State. How could he, a civil servant, feel comfortable traveling thousands of miles to visit Qi?
Can this task be completed?
It was obvious that the emperor was deliberately punishing the Left Censor-in-Chief.

The key is that Feng Lun did not dare to refuse the task.

The word "no" just now has already put him on the fire.

If you don't accept the mission at this time, what are you thinking?
Is it that you don't have the Great Qin in your heart, or that you are not a Qin person?
Feng Lun cannot take any of the blame.

Feng Lun left the hall and the hall fell silent for a moment.

Although Pingyun Hou Xun Huo asked for Zhang Qingyang, Dingguo Duke Lu Jun and Changning Hou Su Jing were not stupid and would never speak up at this time.

Just pretend not to hear.

The other civil and military officials in the hall looked at each other, their expressions solemn.

They are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom for a long time.

If one had not figured out the emperor's intentions before, and Feng Lun had been expelled by now, then anyone who still did not understand what the emperor wanted to do would have long been disqualified from staying in this palace, holding the highest position and wearing red and purple.

The emperor wants to use this Qingyang!

This is the tone!

To be fair, a military commander from a border county who had the courage to act first and report later and start a national war is always worthy of admiration for his decisiveness.

If it weren't for Zhang Qingyang's identity as Heibingtai, the topic discussed in the hall at this time would be how to plan the national war.

Guo Ming frowned slightly and looked at Sima Qingguang beside him.

Sima Qingguang and Pingyun Hou Xun Huo sang the same tune. Although their words favored Zhang Qingyang, they also revealed a lot of information.

In the eyes of Pingyun Hou and Xiao Lou, Qingyang Bo was a brave, responsible and loyal general of the Qin Dynasty.

Both Pingyun Hou and Xiao Lou had worked with Qingyang Bo, so their evaluation of Qingyang Bo should be objective.

With such an evaluation, the emperor must have had files and information on the Earl of Qingyang. Furthermore, many people in the hall had been to Northwest County and had had some contact with the Earl of Qingyang.

While the ministers in the hall were still pondering, Zhou Chang, the Vice Minister of War, had already taken a step forward and bowed to Lu Jun and Su Jing who were standing beside them.

"Duke Dingguo, Marquis Changning, and Earl Qingyang, since they are from your Supervisory Department, please introduce them to us and help us understand whether they are worthy of being called the pillar of the country and the tiger of the Qin Dynasty."

Zhou Chang's voice was loud and calm.

At this moment in the hall, there were probably few people who knew Zhang Yuan better than Zhou Chang.

Perhaps even Lu Jun, the chief minister of Heibingtai, is not as close to Zhang Yuan as he is.

His alliance with Zhang Yuan can be traced back to the time when one county was exchanged for five cities and Zhou Chang was appointed to the Ministry of War in one battle.

In the hall, Lu Jun looked calm, nodded, and then looked at Su Jing beside him.

"Marquis Changning, it was you who, against all odds, advocated for Zhang Qingyang's promotion to Earl of Military Merit. Please introduce me, the rising elite of the Black Ice Platform, to you gentlemen."

Against all odds.

This is to tie Su Jing and Zhang Yuan together.

Su Jing looked up, a hint of gratitude on his face.

If he had been tied to Zhang Yuan when he first entered the hall, it would have been a blessing or a curse.

But the situation was already clear at this time, and the emperor's intentions were revealed. He, the deputy commander of the Black Ice Platform who had helped Zhang Yuan get promoted against all odds, had done nothing wrong!
Duke Dingguo is giving him a chance now!

"Zhang Yuan, the Earl of Qingyang, was originally a Wuwei officer of the Wuwei Yamen in Luyang Prefecture. He participated in the bloody battle of Fengtian County. After returning to Luyang Prefecture, he and his comrade Tao Yulin raised their families together as a reward for their military achievements."

"Wang Qinian, the head of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture, recruited Zhang Yuan and Tao Yulin into the Black Ice Platform, initially as spies and later in charge of military affairs."

Su Jing's voice echoed in the hall.

Wuwei.

Soldier.

Black Ice Terrace Spy.

To be honest, if Su Jing hadn't introduced it himself, the people in the hall would have been unable to connect such a humble figure with the commander-in-chief of the three towns' military forces who started the national war.

"My Great Qin only values ​​military achievements, not background. He was able to rise from humble beginnings and rise through accumulated merit. He is truly a pillar of my Great Qin," Guo Ming looked at Su Jing, "but given his background, his vision and strength may be a little lacking."

"If possible, I suggest that we discuss the matter of national war later. Even if we really have to fight, the military commander of the border counties and the commander of the border army should be responsible."

Guo Ming turned around and looked at Pingyun Hou Xun Huo not far away.

"It was only because of Marquis Pingyun's presence in the three counties that the war against Northern Yan could proceed smoothly."

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid..."

As the Minister of War, even though Guo Ming knew that the emperor intended to use Zhang Yuan, he still had to fight for it.

He acknowledged Zhang Yuan's bravery, but questioned his qualifications and experience, and compared him with other military marquises such as Xun Huo, Marquis of Pingyun.

What Guo Ming wanted was not to suppress the national war, but the control of the national war should be handed over to the Ministry of War or even the border army generals.

In an instant, he praised, pulled, and stepped on others in smooth transitions. This old fox who had been immersed in the court for decades was indeed very clever.

At this time, even the military generals standing by felt that although Zhang Yuan was brave, he was not qualified to lead the army and the national war.

In the hall, everyone looked at Marquis Pingyun.

At this time, as long as the Marquis of Pingyun cooperates and asks to go to the three counties to take charge again, I am afraid even the emperor will find it difficult to refuse.

Is there anyone more suitable than Marquis Pingyun to govern the three counties?

But for Marquis Pingyun, this was clearly a military achievement that came to him.

I never thought about it, it was a free gift.

"Minister Guo, if it were someone else, somewhere else, I would still have some confidence that I could lead an army and fight just as well as anyone else." Pingyun Hou Xun Huo smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving his hands repeatedly. "Do you know that the Earl of Qingyang has another identity?"

Xun Huo showed some emotion on his face and looked at Su Jing opposite him.

Su Jing nodded, straightened his body, and spoke slowly.

"Zhengyang Black Tiger, eight hundred black cavalrymen defeated an army of twenty thousand and killed the Grandmaster in front of the battle."

"He marched three thousand miles, defeated the 100,000-man Northern Army in a single battle, and returned to Bailiu River to surround and kill Murong Zhao."

"Can such a person be called the pillar of the country and the tiger of the Qin Dynasty?"
