Chapter 2364 ???
“Great General Wei,” Prime Minister Yang greeted as he opened the gate of the city and allowed Great General Wei to enter the city.
Beside him was General Yang, his brother, and also General Gao, who was still stationed here.
Even thought they had sided with Fei Yang Kingdom, they didn’t dare to take back the cities that previously belonged to them. These cities were under Fei Yang Kingdom now and if they wanted to touch these cities, they needed Fei Yang Kingdom’s permissions.
Without Fei Yang Kingdom’s order, they didn’t dare to make unnecessary move. Now that Great General Wei was here, was it time for them to work?
They were not sure.
“Prime Minister Yang.” Great General Wei nodded at Prime Minister Yang and then frowned. It seemed that he had to change his address to Prime Minister Yang in the future.
After all, Fei Yang Kingdom already have two prime ministers and there was no way Prime Minister Yang could keep his position. Not mentioning the fact that these two ministers were very capable in Fei Yang Kingdom, Prime Minister Yang’s background alone could pose a problem. “Just call me Minister Yang. Even If I can’t have the position of the prime minister anymore, I might be reused in the court,” the former Prime Minister Yang said slowly.
He had no thoughts about this title either. Since Fan Yi Kingdom is no more, former Prime Minister Yang could adapt to it and change the title to call his name. In any case, he was sure that Fei Yang Kingdom would have arrangement for him. Even if he was not reused to be the ministers in the Capital City, he could stay as a small minister at this city near the border.
It was already pretty good and former Prime Minister Yang himself felt that it would be the best.
For such a small position, Emperor Yang Zhou should not care that much.
“Alright.” Great General Wei nodded.
He knew that former Prime Minister Yang’s words were right. There were many other ministers from other kingdoms who were reused after the kingdom had fallen. Otherwise, Fei Yang Kingdom truly couldn’t cover up their needs for people.
There were too many people that they needed for various position. The former Prime Minister Yang has relatives in this city, so he should be more diligent in protecting the city and developing it.
Of course, the premise was that former Prime Minister Yang would truly serve FeI Yang Kingdom wholeheartedly. “Shall we talk inside?”
“I would like to ask the situation on the border and the soldiers here,” Great General Wei was on point.
“Yes.”
The four people talked for a long time about the situation on the border.
Through the explanation of former Prime Minister Yang and General Yang, Great General Wei knew better about the situation here.
It could be said that the northern border’s situation was not very good in the past few years. The former Fan Yi Kingdom’s Emperor didn’t take care of the border and only send the minimum people and resources.
This made this battle hard to fight. So far, former Prime Minister Yang had already recruited more soldiers from the cities nearby but considering the strength of the northern tribe so far, he doubted that it would be enough. “Now that this is Fan Yi Kingdom’s border, the soldiers under Fei Yang Kingdom will definitely be stationed here,” Great General Wei gave out his promise.
He could make this promise since he’s a great general and later on, he should be able to arrange for some people to come here. “In that case, I’ll thank you in advance.” former Prime Minister Yang smiled.
For former Prime Minister Yang, he didn’t care too much about his treatment. But he was worried for the people on this area who will have to face wars after wars.
The northern border has never been peaceful because of the northern tribe that kept on invading their territories.
Over the years, former Prime Minister Yang and General Yang along with the other two generals, General Gao and General Jin, had worked hard until they were exhausted to prevent these people from robbing them repeatedly.
But the problem has never been solved. Fan Yi Kingdom in the recent years didn’t care about them.
But now that Fei Yang Kingdom was the one in charge and they had given them promise, former Prime Minister Yang felt much calmer. “I have another matter,” Great General Wei said after they had finished talking about the situation in the north border.
He would make the report to Emperor Yang Zhou later but for now, he wanted to know about another matter.
“Yes, please talk, Great General Wei.” former Prime Minister Yang looked at Great General Wei in confusion. “It’s a private matter.” Great General Wei glanced at General Gao in unveiled way but former Prime Minister Yang understood his move. When he was in the court, many officials would use various gestures to say what they meant without talking.
Because if they were to be caught talking nonsense, it would not be easy for them to wash off that stain. General Yang also understood but he looked at his brother.
The one who decided shall be former Prime Minister Yang.
“General Gao, can you please leave us for a moment?” former Prime Minister Yang asked.
“Yes.” General Gao stood up and turned around to walk away. He guessed that it should be related to the Yang Family or these two brothers.
Anyway, he had good relationship with these two and had no interest to pry into their private matter. After General Gao left, Great General Wei looked at the two people in front of him and then asked, “May I ask if your ancestor has Wei surname?”
The former Prime Minister Yang: ???
General Yang: ???
The two of them looked in Great General Wei’s direction with strange expression. They thought that Great General Wei wanted to talk about something important, but now he was actually asking this question.
What was his goal?
