It's dawn.

The fire burned in the Jinghai area all night.

It seems that overnight, the entire Jinghai has become a "hard-hit area", and nearly 200,000 people have "died" overnight.

As the supreme governor of Jinghai, Wang Chen must be responsible.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the state office with General Qin, he immediately went into the office to write an "accident report".

State office, office.

General Qin stood there respectfully.

Wang Chen didn't care about the other party, and spent about half an hour writing the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly.

The general content is nothing more than that Sun Guanguan and Wu Jianqian and other three prison officials stole the talisman, and then mobilized the forbidden army to burn and loot in the Jinghai area, and finally tried to attack Tongzhou City, but fortunately Wang Chen discovered it in time and prevented the situation from deteriorating further.

After writing it, Wang Chen threw the accident report on the table, leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "General Qin, look at how the official's recital is written." ”

When the handle fell into the hands of others, General Qin's posture was very low, and he arched his hand: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Just watch it. Wang Chen said.

General Qin didn't dare to disobey, so he had to step forward and pick up the piece and read it.

The main content is not much, and the reason why Wang Chen wrote for half an hour is more to modify the words.

General Qin glanced at it roughly and knew what was written on the chapter, he raised his head and said with a wry smile: "My four thousand forbidden troops did not burn and rob ...... in the Jinghai area."

Wang Chen interrupted unceremoniously: "I said that there is." ”

General Qin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Zhizhou, you are right. He paused, "But didn't you say you were going to intercede for me before?"

If you want to change your head to a melon, you may not understand what Wang Chen meant by what he said just now, but General Qin has lived for decades and can become the supreme commander of thousands of troops, so he is naturally very alert.

First, General Qin and the 4,000 forbidden army were indeed deceived by Sun Guan's officials, and almost captured Tongzhou City, and now there is a large-scale burning, killing and looting incident in Jinghai, who believes that they didn't do it?

Yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants is not, it is.

Secondly, General Qin knew that since Wang Chen was willing to show him the content of the recital, he would definitely not harm him, otherwise he could only send it to Zhongshu Province, so why bother with any more debates?

Then there is only one possibility left.

Sun Guanguan was indeed framed by Wang Chen, including him, General Qin.

It's one thing to know.

It's one thing to be clear and intelligible.

General Qin knew in his heart that he couldn't get off Wang Chen's thief ship, and if he didn't obey, Wang Chen only needed to say that General Qin and the four thousand forbidden troops rebelled with Sun Guan, and then there would be no more, if he was obedient, he would be dismissed and investigated, if Wang Chen's recital was written more beautifully, it would be more likely that the merit would be overcome, and the fool would know what to do.

"I wanted to intercede for you, but Jinghai 'died' nearly 200,000 people overnight. Wang Chen looked at General Qin meaningfully, "Who will help me intercede?"

General Qin didn't have any ambiguity, and said: "This matter is easy to do, and there is a way for your subordinates, not only do you not need to be responsible for Zhizhou, but you may also have merit." ”

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Oh, let's talk about what to do." ”

In line with the idea that a friend of the dead Dao will not die and the poor Dao, General Qin betrayed his teammates very honorably, "Sun Guantuiguan deceived my 1,000 forbidden army and the 1,000 soldiers stationed locally with military talismans to plot a rebellion, and used 200,000 people as a threat, wanting you to surrender, but you would rather have a broken jade than a complete building, and after a battle with Zeng Zhizhou and me, it was logical to kill the rebels on the spot." ”

"No, it's not. Wang Chen waved his hand.

General Qin was stunned, "Isn't that so?"

Wang Chen said calmly: "It should be Sun Observation Tuiguan who mobilized a thousand forbidden troops and a thousand soldiers to hijack the families of the 10,000 township soldiers I recruited with military talismans, and asked 10,000 township soldiers to use them, but what about it, the township soldiers were loyal to the monarch and refused to give in, Sun Observation Tuiguan burned them and their families to death in anger, you and I found out about the situation in time and mobilized the remaining 3,000 forbidden troops to try to exterminate each other, Sun Observation Tuiguan was killed on the spot, Wu Jian Qian, Seeing that the situation was not good, the three comrades of Li Jian Yan and Zhou Jian Jiu immediately fled overseas by boat with 1,000 forbidden troops and 1,000 soldiers, and we only captured a hundred thieves, do you understand what I mean?"

General Qin was still a little hesitant, "But Zeng Zhizhou's ......"

"Zeng Zhizhou, I'll handle it, don't worry. Wang Chen didn't explain much.

Buddy gave Zeng Huan the general distribution of Wang Ji of Liao, although it was nominally Zeng Huan's nephew who was doing it, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that these industries were Zeng Huan's, you must know that you can earn millions of profits every year, the other party has long been a grasshopper on a rope with herself, to say something unpleasant, as long as Wang Chen did not really rebel, Zeng Huan will definitely support it.

Interests are sometimes more secure than feelings.

It is also true that Wang Chen had already told Zeng Huan when he was in Tongzhou City before this incident, and the other party agreed to be refreshing.

General Qin's eyes when he looked at Wang Chen changed completely, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin still underestimated Wang Chen, but he didn't expect that the entire Tongzhou, including Jinghai, Wang Chen's forces had been operated to the point of being as stable as a mountain, he couldn't bear to say: "I have no problem, but if my thousand forbidden army brothers become rebels, their families and clansmen ......."

Wang Chen pinched the chapter and said: "If the chapter is expedited for eight hundred miles, it will take two to three days for the chapter to be sent to Bianjing, and we have already controlled the form, even if we don't use the eight hundred miles of urgency, it will be fine, I expect that it will take four or five days to send the chapter to Zhongshu Province, isn't four or five days not enough time for you to let your thousand brothers gather all the family members?"

"It's okay to summon them, but where can they go?" General Qin said with great affection.

"Since they are willing to do things for me, I will naturally let them and their families have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, you don't care where you go, just gather them, I will take a thousand forbidden troops, a thousand soldiers and their families and clansmen to other places together, and I can guarantee one thing, their future life will be a hundred times better than being a soldier in the Song Dynasty. Wang Chen solemnly promised.

Thinking of the disappearance of nearly 200,000 people from Jinghai, and then thinking back to the local city god in Tongzhou, General Qin vaguely understood some things, knowing that a thousand forbidden troops and a thousand soldiers would be fine, this time he didn't bother with anything, "Yes, my subordinates know what to do." ”

Wang Chen bowed slightly, "Well, very good, by the way, there are more than 100 water gulls on the sandbank, which are plagued all year round, and many fishermen have suffered, so you will take the forbidden army to deal with them later." ”

Since it was just said that the 100 forbidden troops and garrisons who rebelled with Sun Guandui were beheaded on the battlefield, and the corpses would definitely be handed over at that time, Wang Chen put his mind on the water thieves hiding on the sandbar on the island, as for how to deal with General Qin so smart, Wang Chen felt that he didn't need to explain.

It is impossible for a person who can be the commander of the forbidden army to not be able to do this little thing well.

Sure enough, General Qin was a clever man, "Thank you Zhizhou for the point." ”

Originally, this matter ended here, Wang Chen was about to let the other party out, but when he saw that the other party was not as loyal to Zhao Kuangyin as he imagined, he said with great interest: "General Qin, what are you doing now?"

General Qin replied truthfully: "My main job is to march into the army, from the seventh grade. ”

Wang Chen glanced at the other party a few times, "Being able to lead four thousand forbidden troops is actually only from the seventh grade, and the official position is a bit small." ”

General Qin explained: "There are many false positions among the military generals in my court, and the actual positions are generally up to the fifth rank, and then there is the second rank of the Tai Lieutenant, although I am from the seventh rank, but it is already good in the forbidden army." ”

Wang Chen smiled and said: "That being said, if you want to be promoted from the fifth rank to the second rank of the captain, you have to go through the generals of the fourth rank, the generals of the fourth grade, the generals of the third rank, the guards of the third grade, and the sanitation officers of the third rank, not to mention the empty positions of the five rank officials such as the observation envoy, the defense envoy, and the assassin history, don't you want to be in a high position one day and become a captain or even a ...... Privy Counsellor?"

General Qin raised his head suddenly, staring at Wang Chen with a strange light flashing in his eyes, he didn't speak, but his eyes had betrayed his inner thoughts.

Wang Chen said lightly: "If you can be used by me, I have a way to let you step by step become a supreme minister and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world." After a pause, he said a meaningful sentence through the ages, "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, but everyone needs a nobleman, maybe this nobleman can help you casually, and you will be able to soar." ”

General Qin hurriedly bowed down and said, "I beg Wang Zhizhou to help." ”

Wang Chen laughed, stood up, walked to General Qin's side, stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "Those who know the times are Junjie, okay." ”

If it was before, no matter how fanciful he said, Wang Chen believed that the other party would not follow him, but now it is different, General Qin listened to Sun Guan's slanderous words, and almost caused a catastrophe, and the fatal handle was in Wang Chen's hands, it was better to be honest and obedient.

Of course, in the eyes of General Qin, Wang Chen belonged to the kind of capable, otherwise how could he have gone from a commoner to a member of the Song Dynasty in just over half a year?

Naturally, General Qin agreed, not only did he agree, but in order to show his sincerity, he struggled a little in his heart, and then lowered his voice and said, "Zhizhou, I have something to tell you." ”

Wang Chen actually knew what the other party was going to say, but he still pretended not to know on the surface, "What's the matter?"

General Qin leaned into Wang Chen's ear and said: "Actually, Your Majesty sent our four thousand forbidden troops not to protect your comfort, but to monitor, he once said, once you have bad intentions, let me kill you on the spot, and among the forbidden troops who came with me, there is also a military attache who is a close confidant of His Majesty, if he doesn't get rid of it, what happened today may be exposed, you see?"

Wang Chen blinked and said, "Didn't he join forces with Sun to observe the rebellion of the officials and was found out by his own officials and fled overseas?"

General Qin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, he has fled overseas." ”

"Is there anything else?" asked Wang Chen with his hands in his sleeves.

General Qin said: "My second brother serves as the deputy general of the Suwei Forbidden Army in Ouchi, and his official position is low, and I also ask Zhizhou to see my face and promote him together." ”

Hearing this, Wang Chen glanced at General Qin in surprise, and finally knew why Zhao Kuangyin had sent this person over. The Suwei Forbidden Army refers to a branch of the ancient Chinese army to protect the emperor, responsible for guarding Gyeonggi and the palace, and are the most trusted handfuls of people around the emperor, Wang Chen did not expect that General Qin's younger brother was actually the deputy general of the Suwei Forbidden Army, although the official position is not high, but the role is not small, if you can use it for yourself, in the future, such as a palace coup or something like that, it can come in handy.

Moreover, Wang Chen knew that General Qin was able to tell himself about this matter frankly, not really asking for a promotion for his younger brother or elder brother, but to show loyalty, and even secretly provide some news in the palace.

Wang Chen was very satisfied and said, "Okay, okay, go and do the things I explained as soon as possible, don't leave people behind." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. "General Qin left.

Looking at the other party's back, Wang Chen couldn't help but hook an arc at the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect this incident to bring him an unexpected joy, not only to be able to harvest a well-trained thousand forbidden troops and a thousand soldiers, but also to lay the groundwork for future conflicts with the old Zhao family, which can be regarded as a small profit.
