In the spring of Qi Nine's death, a military commander died. He was listed in the Great Qi Military Affairs Hall, ranking only below Jiang Mengxiong.
He is one of the true core figures in the military, an absolute high-ranking official in Qi.
In a sense, his attitude can represent the military's attitude.

...But Cao Jie's words... were too harsh!
He was practically pointing at Huang Yiheng's nose, calling him petty and narrow-minded, saying he couldn't change his old habits and was just a sycophant.
Although his voice was not loud, it silenced the entire audience.
Huang Yixing was indeed pale as earth, speechless and stuttering. The other officials from Hengyang County present also stared at their shoes, as if they were absent-mindedly wandering in the clouds.
For a moment, even the drums and cymbals fell silent, and the fireworks ceased.
Only the little girl who offered flowers to Cao Jie seemed to notice the strange atmosphere, but she was too young to understand what the adults were talking about.
Remembering his instructions, he walked forward timidly and said: "General...I bring you flowers."
After all, I forgot the congratulatory speech.
His mouth pouted, almost to the point of tears.
Cao Jie took the flower and reached out to gently rub her head, smiling. "Thank you," he said.
The little girl finished her task and smiled right away.
Cao Jiezhen looked at Huang Yixing, his face no longer showing anger: "Send the children back. The temple offering requires an auspicious time, so we will not stay in Hengyang County any longer."
Huang Yixing awoke as if from a dream: "Hey, hey, good!"
This time he learned his lesson and called back, "Bring the children and the elderly onto the carriage and send them home first!"
The people below became busy all of a sudden.

The heavenly mandate is supreme, all must obey and remain still.
The Qiguo delegation following behind didn't dare to draw attention to themselves at this moment, all huddled in their carriages and silent.
It was not until the carriages laden with elderly people and children from Hengyang County had driven away that the procession began to move.
This time, only the officials from Hengyang County led by Huang Yi were standing on both sides of the road, respectfully bidding farewell to the motorcade.

Back on the carriage, Jiang Wang's face was expressionless.

He already knew what Huang Yi would do. After today's incident, he didn't care what Huang Yi would do afterward.
As early as the battlefield of Chiwei County, Chongxuan Chuliang's evaluation of Huang Yixing was only four words—"Selling one's country for fame".
At that time, Huang Yixing sought fame and renown, while Chong Xuan Chuliang prioritized stability. Therefore, he gave Huang Yixing a name, not even minding if it made his own reputation for ferocity more prominent. He allowed rumors to spread that the ferocious butcher intended to slaughter all the people of Yangdi. It was Huang Yixing who, in a gesture of compassion, knelt before the butcher and blocked the blade.
In fact, Huang Yixing alone wouldn't be able to stop Chong Xuan and Liang from slaughtering people.
Don't say "I will never kneel before anyone in my life, only for the common people." Even if he rolls around in the dirt for the common people, even if he slaps himself and beats himself to death for them... he wouldn't even frown.
He returned the blade to its sheath, a self-inflicted execution.

...and now.
The land has been settled, and the people of Yang have all returned to their hearts.
The value of Huang Yixing is dwindling.
Perhaps he himself understood this very well, which is why he was eager to implement the post of magistrate of Hengyang as soon as possible, fearing that at the last moment, someone would take it away from him.
At least in the position of magistrate of Hengyang County, he wouldn't be so easily moved.
Cao Jie was angered because, while in control of a region, he instigated children to flatter him. He endured it once but couldn't bear it the second time. This itself speaks volumes about the attitude of the Ministry of War towards this person.
Though Ji Cheng, who died for his country, created many obstacles for the state of Qi, he gained even greater respect from the soldiers of Qi.

Jiang Wang pitied those elderly people who had lost their homeland and found it difficult to regain a sense of belonging. However, he couldn't feel any goodwill towards Huang Yixing, who was also an elderly person from Old Yang.
...While Chong Xuan followed suit and didn't even get off his carriage. After all, the enthusiastic crowd in Hengyang County was there to welcome the winner, not him who only came in second...
The army rumbled away, the banners of the State of Qi gradually disappearing from sight.
Huang Yixing's head, which had almost bowed to his knees, slowly lifted.

"Elder Jiang Wangjing, Cao Jiezhong a young child."
He smiled with a cold, hollow expression, grinding his teeth and saying: "The pride of the nation, the renowned generals, are all from our Qi State. Only I, Huang Yixing, am treated like a slave, both inside and outside the household!
"

"My lord..." the loyal official by his side cautioned.
Huang Yixing glared: "What, can't I say it"
He was out of control: "I cursed myself, I couldn't even curse properly!"
Everyone was silent.
The convoy traveled through Hengyang County, continuing their journey.
Rizhao County pacifier Tian An-tai also personally greeted him by the roadside, but there were only two attendants beside him, and he did not make a big fuss.
They didn't even block the road, they just stood by the roadside and shouted a few celebratory words.
Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan both stepped forward to express their gratitude.

Interestingly, one of the attendants who accompanied Tian An Tai was none other than Dugu Xiao, the current town head of Qingyang Town.
Thus, it can be seen that Tian Aanta was not an uncultured person. Since taking office, his governance of Rizhao County has been evident to all and is not inferior to anyone else. Even faintly, it seems to be the best-developed among the three counties.
Perhaps it's only because he is Tian Anping's brother that people have placed too much...unwarranted hope on him. That's why he appears mediocre.
As for this wealthy son of the Tian family, Cao Jie's attitude was quite amiable. He even got out of his carriage to speak a few words with him.
Today, Qingyang Town is undoubtedly decked out in lights and decorations to celebrate Zhuang Hetai's victory in the Imperial Examinations. It's only natural for things to be like this. Cao Jie even joked about stopping by Qingyang Town for a short rest, but Jiang Wang quickly declined.

Matters have their varying degrees of importance and urgency, and people should value self-knowledge.
Many people are ruined by "unawareness."
In Yangdi's Three Counties, Gao Shaoling’s Chiwei County was not on the route taken by the returning troops. He only had someone deliver a congratulatory letter halfway, carefully measuring his distance as well.
Though the Gao family of Jinghai is often perceived as nouveau riche, lacking in depth and refinement, Gao Shaoling remains the most promising talent among them and shouldn't be underestimated.
In fact, after the team left Yangdi, Jiang Wang only slowly began to feel more of the differences.
Although Yangdi has been integrated into Qi territory, it remains different from the Qi of old. After so many years of history, its past cannot be completely erased. There are still significant differences between it and the former Qi land.
Dingyuan, Yangshan, Fenxian, Cangshu, Baolong...

Along the way, the common people were enthusiastically gathered on both sides of the road, cheering and rejoicing. There was only joy, no fear or trepidation.
The local soldiers were all stationed on both sides of the road, maintaining order, and no one came to stop carriages. Local officials also only sent a representative or two to attend the celebration. The congratulatory message from the local governor was directly sent to Linzi. There was no need for flattery.
The strength of a nation can be judged by the confidence of its people.
It takes more time for the common people to cultivate the truly noble temperament, and that is not their fault.
When the country is prosperous, its people can also prosper.

Of course, if it were always governed by someone like Huang Yixing, perhaps the atmosphere wouldn't improve.
Jiang Wang suddenly thought—
Could it be that Cao Jie's sudden outburst of anger was due to this

It's not something that can be accomplished in just a few days to change customs and fashions.
Another thing worth mentioning is...

With the renowned national pride returning home, many women from Qi dared to express their affection.
Along the way, she tossed flowers and fruit, generous and enthusiastic.

Even the fragrant sachets and silk scarves were boldly tossed into the car.
After all, it was a matter of elegance and decorum. The soldiers maintaining order wouldn't stop them either.
While only taking second place, Chong Xuan Zun's carriage was surprisingly even more lavish than Jiang Wang's, who took first place.
After the convoy entered Qijing, Chong Xuan Sheng and Fourteen got out of their carriage and returned to their carriage in the viewing procession. Therefore, there was no other factor affecting...
It must be that Qi Ren is too kind and doesn't spare comfort even for the failures!
