71 Chapter 35 (1)
When the blood-stained herald 800 miles hurriedly transmitted the Jinzhou military report to Chang'an, it was like pouring a scoop of boiling water into a hot oil pot, and it exploded in an instant.
The governors of Eastern Qin have always been concurrently served by high-ranking officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and they hurried to the palace city before they even had time to think of countermeasures, but the saint in the forbidden palace did not come forward, only Lin Qing smiled and stood in front of the stone steps with his sleeves crossed and waited patiently.
"Can you know where Your Majesty is?" Liu Jing has a son and a daughter on his knees, the eldest son Liu Feng is Xiahou Yuanniang, and the second daughter Liu Yue is married to Lin Lang, one of the four sons of Chang'an, Lin Qing's only son, the two are in-laws, others dare not ask or are unwilling to ask Lin Qing, he doesn't care, he leaned over.
"How can I know the traces of the saint and the courtiers?" Lin Qing smiled slightly, "You guys, please wait, Qing and you also received the news before it was passed into the palace." ”
In the west study, the saint sat on the top in a daze, the ambergris in front of him had been extinguished, but he was unconscious.
The general Liuquan on the side passed the newspaper to Ji Rin, who was the first to receive the news and entered the palace, who was wearing a dark satin trimmed silver cloak, and an indigo coat embroidered with silver luan bird patterns, because he entered the palace in order to avoid colliding with the saint, he tied a royal blue belt, and the crown on his head was also a jade crown instead of a silver crown.
"Jinju is in danger now, I don't know what to do?" The sage was silent for a moment, and saw that Ji Rin and Pingling Yujun had finished reading the military report, and finally came back to their senses, with anxiety on their faces.
The military newspaper was sent by the garrison of Yongning City from Sipinlang to send a letter to Qi Zheng, which roughly described the current situation in Jinzhou.
The upper route of the Northern Wei Dynasty prince Tuoba Ao led the troops to the Shuoxue Pass, but was blocked by the guard Ji Shan, and the two sides were deadlocked, and they urgently needed reinforcements, grain and grass support.
The middle route led the army of the three princes Tuobadun, and crossed the Changsheng Mountain along the Tabna River, which should be towards Dingbei Town, but the Northern Wei Dynasty is good at falconry, and now it is in the Changsheng Mountain Range, and there are no tall woods around to cover the tracks, so the spies can only roughly track one direction and do not know their detailed whereabouts, fortunately, Chu Qiu, the guard of Dingbei Town, is also a good soldier, and it is unlikely that Dingbei Town will miss.
As for the third road, the emperor's eldest son Tuoba dared to lead the army, bypassing the long road to Tai'an City, passing through three horse farms under the name of the Xiahou family along the way, and confiscating countless horses, and the soldiers and civilians along the road were also innumerable, and they also needed reinforcements.
As for the fourth road, it was led by the four princes, they crossed the Moon River along the border of Western Chu and went straight to Yongning City in the west, this road was all cavalry, the two sides were deadlocked, the Northern Wei Dynasty repeatedly wanted to bypass the city, but was led by Qi Zheng, but he could only do defense, unable to counterattack.
"The grass people are willing to petition for their lives and go straight to Jinju to resist the Northern Wei Dynasty. "The situation in front of him is far more complicated than what is written on paper, except for the Northern Wei Dynasty, the absconding rogues, and the rebels who plotted rebellion, the internal and external difficulties are all the same, but Pingling Yu and Ji Rin both know that no one is more suitable than him, and as soon as the sage's voice fell, Ji Rin knelt down on one knee and asked for battle.
"Qing is not filial piety at home, and he still has the continued title of the four-rank general on his body, how can he be a grass people!" The sage was surprised and delighted when he heard him say this, and stepped forward to help him up, "So everything depends on the general!"
Ji Rin and Pingling Yu glanced at each other, helplessness flashed in their eyes, and once again they had a clear understanding of the unreliability of the saint. Ji Rin asked for battle, but the sage agreed without listening to the countermeasures and without considering it, and what was even more terrifying was how many troops to send? Where to transfer troops? Where did the grain, grass, armaments, and other materials come from? When did they set off? What was the candidate for the main general and the deputy general?...... A series of problems, the saint doesn't care, he just thinks that if something goes wrong, someone will come forward to solve the problem, so he can sit back and relax, not to mention that the Ji family is still holding a name of rebellion, how can he persuade the civil and military officials to agree to let Ji Rin, an important suspect, be the coach.
However, the sage was in a mood at this time, and heard that Liu Quan came to report that the courtiers were coming, and he drafted a holy decree to appoint Ji Rin as the marshal and crowned him as the second-rank protector general, and on the other hand, he ordered Liu Quan to send a message to many ministers and ordered them to go home, only saying that the danger of Jinju had been solved.
"Your Majesty!" Pingling Yu couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, the army was moving forward extraordinary, and many departments in the court and the central government had to work together, how could it be set by a holy decree, but he knew the saint's temperament, and he couldn't help but say softly, " The grass people trust General Ji's wisdom and bravery, but the ministers in the court are all talents, as the saying goes, one person is short, everyone is long, the general is young, it is indispensable to listen to the opinions of the predecessors, and then His Majesty trusts the innocence of the Ji family, that is His Majesty's wisdom is like a torch, but the three of them become tigers, not all of them are as wise as Your Majesty, and they have to ask Your Majesty to correct the name of the Ji family. ”
"What's so hard about that?" The sage agreed, he is not a fool in the end, Qi Zheng is the brother of Qi Rui, the squire of the military department, both of them are children of the Han family, and they have not received the favor of the Ji family, so they don't have to cover up for the Ji family, and the military newspaper wrote in black and white that the eldest son of the Northern Wei Emperor, Tuoba dared to lead the army, and passed through the three horse farms under the name of the Xiahou family along the road, and collected countless horses, if there was no cat, his forty-nine years of life would be in vain, and the grievances between the Xiahou family and the Ji family were also known to them, but the sage also felt that the Xiahou family was not generous, and the eldest husband had no wife, and he was not a lover with a heart. "Ah Liu, you call them to wait in the flower hall of the east room, and I will take Yuan Zhao over. ”
"That being the case, the grass people retired first. Seeing that he was persuaded, Pingling Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I see that you are reasonable, but now you are the fame of Xiucai?" The sage reacted for a while, Pingling Yu is still a white body, and remembered that Zhou Jian had recommended the two to him before, and sure enough, Ling Yun's eyes are like torches, and he has the ability to recognize people.
"The grass people are indeed the talents of the 15-year-old Shengping. Pingling Yu nodded.
"Why don't you take the exam? With Qing's talent, although you can't be the top student in high school, you must be in the second grade. "The monarchs of the Eastern Qin Dynasty rarely have extraordinary literary talents like saints, often the edicts are Hanlin pen and ink, and since the saint ascended the throne, his holy decree is mostly written by himself, at this time the pen will order the chapter to take the jade seal to use the seal, just wait for the Chinese book province to review once can be issued.
"The grass people died of illness soon after they won the show, so they kept filial piety for three years, and then they were weak, and the test was nine days, and the grass people estimated that they couldn't stand it, so they didn't go up to the test. Pingling Yu saw that he was not in a hurry and spoke to him patiently, and he knew that the sage had a good impression of the hermit, and he had always been in front of the sage and the appearance of a scattered person in the countryside, but his tone was soft, but like coaxing Ji Yan, Ji Rin couldn't help but look at him more, "If there is a grass people's will not be in the temple, it is enough to accept a few disciples to watch the scenery at four o'clock in the day, and when this happens, the grass people will naturally return to Shuzhou, plough the fields, and be self-sufficient." ”
"What a hermit!" the sage couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Every day with the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, listening to the wind, watching the snow and smelling the falling flowers, it is really a fairy day, I only hate not to return to the mountains and forests with Lang Jun." ”
"It is under the rule of His Majesty that the grass people have the life of this plum wife and crane. Pingling Yuchong Ji Rin blinked and smiled.
"In this case, I will first ask Ling Yun to bring back the forbidden army surrounding Yuan Zhao's mansion, and you will follow him. The sage was coaxed by him to be happy, and immediately smiled and instructed Zhang Wen, "I see that Pingling is weak, you can pick some suitable skins and medicinal materials for this year's tribute, and send them over." ”
"Wow. Zhang Wen responded with a smile.
This Pingling Yu followed Zhang Wen to find Zhou Jian, and the sage took Ji Rin to the flower hall in the east room, and when he sat down, a group of ministers rushed in, and after everyone sat down on the kneeling pouch, they looked at Ji Rin who was kneeling under the saint's head at a glance!
There are few people who can sit on the political governor's seat and are not old foxes, although I don't know why the sage slipped Ji Rin out, but now everyone is more concerned about the battle situation in Jinju.
"I have decided to make Yuan Zhao the commander, do you have any objections?" The sage didn't seem to know how much shock his words would cause.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Jing exclaimed, "The matter of the Ji family's rebellion has not yet been clarified, how can he be allowed to be the commander-in-chief?
"Yuan Zhao is like a god with soldiers, and he can be a general!" "The saint is rarely tough, "As for keeping filial piety at home, his father was also on the verge of winning love back then, and today's son is following his father, which is also a good story of loyalty and righteousness!"
"The minister thinks that General Ji is young after all, and the situation in Jinzhou is embarrassing, and it is not advisable for those who are not old and heavy, and the minister wants to recommend Yongzhou Prefecture Mu Yu Wenyong as the handsome!"
"My father has been bedridden for months, and he can't pick up a gun. After Cao Bing finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth to refuse, although he didn't know what his father was going to do, but the previous message still taught him to feel sour in his heart.
"Now that the situation in Jinju is unclear, it is very appropriate for the minister to think that General Ji is the commander. Qi Rui softened his voice, "General Ji was born in Jinzhou and is familiar with the style, folk customs, hydrology and geography of Jinzhou, this so-called geographical advantage, moreover, Jinzhou robe Ze is more familiar than General Ji, the march cooperates, and Wen Xianggong is newly mourned, morale is low, General Ji's son inherits his father's will, which can boost morale, this so-called harmony - the march against is nothing more than the right time and place, and the general accounts for the second, which is enough to be handsome!
"But the Ji family ......" Liu Jing was anxious.
"The Ji family is brave and loyal, the world knows, why should they listen to the villain's slander, Liu Shangshu is too cautious. Lin Qing interrupted lightly without waiting for him to finish speaking, and bowed towards the saint, "The military situation is urgent, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to appoint Ji Rin as the commander, and the geometry of troops, military transportation, etc. need to be agreed, colleagues, I might as well wait to finalize it quickly." ”
