Chapter 857: Deep Thoughts
Yang Xingben's attitude Qin Jin thought it was quite interesting, at this moment, he had unconsciously regarded the imperial court as an enemy in his subconscious. In fact, since the self-interests of these people were tied to the Shenwu Army, once the imperial court's decrees or policies contradicted the interests of the Shenwu Army, they would naturally regard their own interests as threatened.
This has become very obvious as the Shenwu Army grows stronger and stronger.
"Li Siye is not only a general of the imperial court, he is also a veteran general who has a sense of right and wrong and the overall situation for many years, and he will easily see and understand clearly that dealing with the Shenwu Army at this time is to set up the enemy. ”
Qin Jin rarely said these explicit words, but today he caught up with Yang Xing's words, and couldn't help but say a few more words. The purpose of his saying this was naturally to hope that Yang Xingben would not have too much prejudice against Li Siye, and this person might be the same as Yan Zhuang, who could be used by the Shenwu Army.
"If the princes of the imperial court can put the overall situation first, how can it be the turn of our Shenwu army to shock the world? Doctor, think about it, from Ge Shuhan to Gao Xianzhi, which one is not a famous general or veteran who has been famous in the world for a long time? What will happen in the end? One has no place to be buried, and the other is still uncertain about life and death. Let's be honest, since we entered the customs, I have long given up the illusion of that bullshit court, as long as they breathe a little easier, they will continue their shameless infighting, infighting!"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingben's tone couldn't help but get worse, and he repeated the word infighting twice in a row.
In this regard, Qin Jin also arrived a little surprised, and he didn't expect that the mustard in Yang Xingben and the imperial court had reached such a point.
In fact, he ignored an important factor, that is, Yang Xingben's identity as Yang Guozhong's nephew. After Yang Guozhong was hacked to death by Ma Weiyi, after the turbulent imperial court carried out bloody revenge on the Yang family, especially Yang Guozhong's lineage, in just ten days, the counties in Guanzhong either killed or killed the Yang clansmen have reached hundreds.
Because Yang Xingben had the protection of the Shenwu Army, the children of his relatives were spared, but he still suffered an unprecedented impact, his political status plummeted, and he was often pointed out and scolded by people in front of and behind him, saying that the Yang family was a sinner who brought disaster to the country, and one day would inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Yang Xingben has heard a lot of such criticisms, and even Qin Jin has heard them to some extent, which makes Yang Xingben's temperament more and more extreme.
"Nor can it be generalized. ”
Qin Jin tried to ease the atmosphere, but Yang Xingben could not easily extricate himself from his indignation.
"The world's uncle Yang Guozhong is a rebellious minister of the country. But how much ability does the clan uncle have, how many catties and taels of meat on his body, I can't know it very well, he is just a marionette, and the person who is really behind the scenes is the emperor. Those blind people in the court, for what bullshit is to blame Yang Guozhong for the sake of the Son of Heaven, is this their vision and overall situation?"
Faced with Yang Xingben's sudden outburst, Qin Jin didn't know how to continue his words for a while.
After a while, Yang Xingben smiled bitterly twice and continued:
"The doctor thinks that if the son had not suffered a stroke today, how would he view our Shenwu Army? And the crown prince, Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi harboring evil intentions, can't he see it? Why didn't he come forward to stop it?"
Yang Xingben's words really poked Qin Jin's sensitive point, after he received the secret report from Chang'an, he was already thinking about this issue, but he hadn't decided it for a while. The idea, after Yang Xingben only said it, it made him feel a big alarm in his heart.
For the first time, Qin Jin's situation became a little elusive due to the influence of others.
"You think too much, it's just Li Siye, if it's Gao Xianzhi who is discovered, what should you do?"
But I heard Yang Xingben grit his teeth and say word by word:
"These defeated people should have died on the battlefield a long time ago, and they are alive, but they are just humiliating themselves in vain!"
Qin Jin's heart is also awe-inspiring, even if these famous generals are born again, the current imperial court has no place for them. Most of the military power is in the hands of the new rules that rose later, so how can they allow others to divide the military power in their hands?
And among these people, the generals of the Shenwu Army are also among them.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly again, he had never thought that one day he would be so repulsive to these heroes and famous generals, and in the end, it was due to conflicting interests.
Qin Jin is a human being twice, not a fledgling hairy boy, and he has long had a clear understanding of the conflict of interests between people. Including which famous ministers and generals in history, when they gradually faded from the halo on their bodies, in the eyes of Qin Jin, they have become the same as ordinary people in the world.
Even so, Qin Jin still believed that these defeated ministers would not be guilty of death. The so-called "sin" here does not refer to the sin of their defeat itself, but that their existence is a threat to the vested interests themselves, so this "threat" has become the root of their "sin".
At this time, the windows in the house were wide open, but there was still not a trace of wind blowing in. The room was stuffy and restless, Qin Jin looked at the dark night outside through the window, and couldn't help but sigh: In the final analysis, people are selfish and indifferent animals, born in such a bloody era, for the sake of vested interests, fathers and sons and brothers can turn against each other and kill each other, all moral concepts have been subverted, and all people are in a strange distortion, like a chicken blood, fanatically willing to be enslaved by selfish desires.
And he, Qin Jin, is also one of them, no matter what the reason, there is no denying this fact.
After being silent for a while, Qin Jin's mind gradually returned to calm, he had long accepted this cruel reality, if he wanted to survive in this bloody era, he would have to become more cold-blooded and ...... than his enemies or potential enemies
"Doctor, it's better to take this opportunity to kill Li Siye to get rid of this hidden danger!"
Suddenly, Yang Xingben's face turned pale, and he blurted out.
Qin Jin thought about it for a long time, and finally rejected this proposal, this is not because he is soft-hearted, after all, it is because Li Siye's prestige is very high, if he dies in the Shenwu Army, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to them in public opinion.
It's just that before Qin Jin could say the reason for refusal, Yang Xingben himself had already figured it out, only to see him shake his head and say:
"It's not proper, even if this liao should be killed, we shouldn't do it!"
In fact, it can be seen from the battle of Guanzhong that Li Siye has reservations about the attitude of the Shenwu Army and Qin Jin, and after all, this person has been on the battlefield for half his life, and has assisted several Jiedu envoys.
And under the cover of this city government, whether there is hostility against the Shenwu Army, even Qin Jin can't guess.
"Erlang doesn't have to worry too much, half of the world's soldiers and horses are in the hands of my Shenwu Army, what else is there to worry about?"
And Yang Xingben's answer was even more explicit.
"Now I just don't know what Lu Qi and Pei Jing's intentions are, don't forget that they have more than half of the elite men and horses of the Shenwu Army in their hands. Doctors should not be cautious. ”
It was only at this time that Qin Jin knew that Yang Xing's nature was so narrow-minded, and if it was too extreme, it might not be a good thing. It's just that there are many confidential things that he can't say.
Pei Jing and Lu Qi have always had close ties with Qin Jin, and the structure of the Shenwu Army itself is also above the commanders of the various armies.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Qin Jin was the spiritual leader of the Shenwu Army, and if there were people within the Shenwu Army who intended to oppose Qin Jin, the resistance they faced would be extraordinary.
What's more, Pei Lu and the others have always been under the influence of Qin Jin, and their family has long been tied to the chariot of the Shenwu Army, whether it is for personal interests or family interests, their most suitable choice is to stand closely with Qin Jin. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qin Jin to let them take charge of such two important places.
Tongguan and Hedong are both important places for the Tang Dynasty, although these two people have their own characteristics, but they are more calm, they are a unique material, compared to Yang Xingben, who is easily excited and narrow-minded, is naturally a very suitable candidate.
"Well, let's not talk about him for now. I'm going to Hedong soon, and I have a few words to tell you. ”
Qin Jin finally completely pulled away from the topic, and Li Siye's arrival made Yang Xingben feel a sense of crisis, which was also due to the factors of Chang'an's secret report.
Evil now has no more suitable candidate than Yang Xingben to stay in Luoyang, so Qin Jin has to tell him repeatedly.
"After I leave, if you stay in charge, you will be in charge of the overall situation, and you must not make decisions because of a moment of righteous indignation!"
Yang Xingben Road:
"The doctor also underestimated me Yang Er, if he is really angry, how can he tolerate Fang Xuan and his ilk until now?"
This is also the truth, since Fang Xuan dealt with private affairs in the Shenwu Army, he tried his best to cooperate with everything involving Yang Xingben, and he never dragged his feet.
"This is not the point, the point is to restore order in Luoyang as soon as possible, the private sector is the foundation of the Shenwu Army in the local area, and there is no trivial matter when it comes to the private sector. ”
"Please rest assured that the last general will not fail the doctor's trust. ”
Qin Jin nodded, and quickly paced back and forth in the room for a few steps. He knew very well that once the private sector completely rolled out spies in Luoyang, the Henan Mansion of Nadugi Province would be completely under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and there would be no more thieves and rebels. The remaining critical issues were only the rebels of Huaixi and Ludi, and with his hunch, the rebels of Ludi were likely to cross the Yellow River to defect to Anqingxu, but the Huaixi rebels were caged dogs and could not be let go.
As he spoke, Qin Jin came to the map again and pointed to a location near the left of the Huai River.
"Here's the key, and you have to be careful ......."
