"The minister has an objection!"

Yang Guozhong, who had been seconding the proposal, suddenly raised an objection, although he cooperated with Wei Ji to yin Gao Xianzhi, and the person standing behind Wei Ji was Qin Jin, which can be regarded as an indirect cooperation between the two, but in the final analysis, Gao Qin and both of them are what he wants to get rid of as soon as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now, on the surface, Qin Jin's personnel suggestions did not seem to be of any benefit to him, but in line with the principle that his political enemies agreed that he must oppose it, Yang Guozhong instinctively chose to oppose it.

In this regard, Li Longji was quite surprised, and squinted his eyes to look at him again, his voice was already a little displeased, and he asked so casually, where is it to make Yang Guozhong more serious? The reason why Li Longji has used Yang Guozhong as his prime minister twice before and after only attaches importance to two points, one is that Yang Guozhong is the brother of the noble concubine, and he knows the roots. The second is that this person is good at figuring out his mind and can do what he likes.

Now Yang Guozhong has played the role of a spoiler, and he has unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Oh, is there a more suitable candidate for Yang Qing......?"

But Yang Guozhong didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction of the Son of Heaven, and said in a shocking voice: "Qin Jin's move is suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts, please think twice!"

Li Longji laughed angrily, even if he objected, he had to say a reasonable enough excuse.

"If Qin Jin intends to invite people to buy people's hearts, why not promote his subordinates? Those people are all military merits, aren't they afraid that they will be indignant and dissatisfied with this?"

This understanding is very in line with people's hearts, not afraid of merit and not rewarded, afraid of uneven reward, people with great merit are rewarded but less than those with small merit, Qin Jin is so careless, or he has ulterior motives, but Li Longji wants to see the consequences caused by this, how this person intends to clean up.

Therefore, the fundamental reason why Li Longji was able to approve the people recommended by Qin Jin as magistrates is this. Yang Guozhong has raised an objection now, isn't he reminding Qin Jin to help? Of course he won't, and he can't agree.

After asking a rhetorical question, Li Longji scolded Yang Guozhong mercilessly, and then kicked him out of the Son of Heaven's Palace. This is the first time since Yang Guozhong entered the court as an official, and Wei Fangjin, who was stunned on the side, was stunned.

So much so that Wei Fangjin kept muttering, could it be that Yang Guozhong had already lost his position in front of the Son of Heaven? If this was the case, Wei Fangjin's heart suddenly itched, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

After reprimanding Yang Guozhong, Li Longji only felt a lot happier in his heart, and he also found that he was very irritable recently, and it was difficult to control the changes in his emotions when he was angry, which could not be done in the past.

"Wei Qing, the situation in Hedong must be restored as soon as possible, and the political hall should fully support it, rather than hindering it in the back, understand?"

Wei Fangjin hurriedly kowtowed:

"Since the minister entered the political hall, he has been trembling and cautious, for fear that something will make a mistake and live up to the trust of the saint, and he will never dare to regard state affairs as child's play!"

This kind of sincere and extremely empathetic courtier is Li Longji's favorite, and Yang Guozhong was originally like this, but since the mutiny, this person has changed a lot, and he is a lot more negative than before. It's just that there are only a handful of people around me who can be trusted and reused......

Wei Fangjin secretly glanced up at the Son of Heaven and hurriedly lowered his head, but this was enough, he saw in the gaze of the Son of Heaven that he had rarely seen before, and there were only a handful of subordinates that the Son of Heaven had looked at with such eyes in the past.

After leaving Xingqing Palace, as soon as he returned to the mansion, a house slave rushed up to report:

"The head of the family, someone from Hedong is here!"

Hearing that it was from Hedong, Wei Fangjin's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be quite excited.

"Please wait for me in the study!"

The house slave was ordered to bow down and retreat, and arranged for someone from Hedong to wait in the study. And Wei Fangjin had to change out of the crown and belt on his body, and then he could calmly meet him. On the way to the inner house, this rarely moody subordinate was muttering to himself: "This Qin Jin is really the old man's lucky star, as long as he catches up with this person, there will always be unexpected gains......"

……

Qin Jin left Wenxi and rushed to the state of Jiangzhou to govern Zhengping. Although Zhengping is governed by the state, it is on the north bank of Fenshui, not on the main traffic line, in comparison, it is Wenxi who connects the east and west, the north and south, and the location is very important, so the rebel general Cai Xide arranged the main force in Wenxi and the east of Jiangxian County, in order to achieve the containment of the Tang army stationed in Hedong City, and then cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Taiyuan City.

And the reason why Qin Jin wants to go to Zhengping now has another important purpose, that is, he plans to move the state from Zhengping to Wenxi, so as to completely facilitate the implementation of military and political integration.

In order to make things easier, every time Qin and Jin regained a prefecture and county occupied by the rebels, they would combine it with the army after restoring the local government office, and everything was based on the premise of concentrating manpower and material resources to resist the rebels, so the integration of military and political became the first choice.

In addition to Wuhu Huaizhong, who was inseparable from his side, there was also Huangfu Ke, who had just arrived from Anyi. He was about to be appointed as the governor of this place, and many local affairs naturally had to involve him. In addition, Lu Qi also went north with a group of men.

There is also a person with a very special identity under Lu Qi, who is his fellow clan who has just abandoned the dark and returned to the Tang Dynasty anyway, Lu Zhishan.

Qin Jin, for the purpose of encircling the family, praised Lu Zhishan a lot, and promised to promote him as the commander of Zhengping County, which made Lu Zhishan grateful, and with a handful of snot and tears, he almost took out his heart and put it in front of Qin Jin. And for this spineless fellow clan, Lu Qi only had instinctive disgust. He even suggested that Qin Jin punish this person as an example.

However, Qin Jin unceremoniously refused, and Lu Qi was even a little disappointed in this. As a child of a family, his identity is different from that of an ordinary family, and his attitude towards his clan is also quite subtle, but it is difficult to say it to outsiders.

Lu Zhishan has been an official in Hedong all the year round and is familiar with the local customs.

However, although Lu Qi didn't want to see Lu Zhishan, in addition to being thick-skinned, Lu Zhishan himself was also self-aware, knowing that at least half of the reason why Qin Zhijun looked so highly was due to his brother Lu Qi, so he still put a hot face on the other party's cold ass from time to time, and "never get tired of it"!

Lu Qi was really annoyed by this brother of the same clan, so he took dozens of rangers to explore the road in person. After crossing the Fenshui, further north is Cizhou, although these places have not experienced a major war, but due to the complex terrain, lush mountains and forests, there are also a large number of bandits entrenched in the middle of the evil. Therefore, the withdrawal of the rebels must not be taken lightly.

The strength of these mountain bandits should not be underestimated, and they even dared to gather crowds to attack the county seat at some times.

Jishan County, which is located less than 100 miles west of Zhengping, was besieged by huge bandits, but fortunately, the local county commander was quite bold and organized the people in the city to not let the thieves succeed.

Obviously, after the rebels withdrew from Jiangzhou, these local bandits thought that they could take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and they became emboldened. From the side, it also reflects that the prestige of ** among the people has long been extremely unbearable, and even local bandits look down on it.

Therefore, Lu Qi also came with a task of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, that is, to use thunderous means to deal with the giant bandits who dared to besiege the county town to deter the bandits. Otherwise, in addition to confronting the Anshi rebels head-on, the Tang army also had to be distracted from guarding against bandits in the mountains.

Lu Zhishan did not continue to follow Lu Qi, but came to Qin Jin's side, but he found that the young county guard was frowning at the moment.

Qin Jin held a secret letter sent by Du Qianyun in his hand, according to reliable information, a few days ago there were rumors in the capital that Gao Xianzhi colluded with Sun Xiaozhe, and Wei Ji played a role in adding fuel to the fire.

Du Qianyun had just gone to Chang'an in person, and after discovering this situation, he immediately returned to Hedong.

He knew very well that this was not a trivial matter, Wei Ji was an important part of Qin Jin's layout in the imperial court, and if something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So, Wei Ji is also involved in spreading rumors?"

Du Qianyun shook his head.

"There is no direct evidence to support it. But someone saw with their own eyes that Wei Ji arrested Zhang Yu, a secret agent sent to Chang'an by Sun Xiaozhe, and also found a gift list sent to the mansion of the prime minister from the secret agent......"

Hearing this, Qin Jin's brows tightened even more, Wei Ji had not mentioned this matter in several letters before, obviously concealing it.

Du Qianyun continued:

"Wei Ji has met with Yang Guozhong since then, and it seems that he has made a deal with Zhang Yu and the gift list, and I am afraid that this matter has already been submitted to the Son of Heaven. ”

The more he listened, the more frightened Qin Jin became, if what Du Qianyun said was true, if the Son of Heaven believed Zhang Yu and the gift list...... The consequences are devastating. When a strong enemy is outside, the most taboo thing is that the monarch and the minister are suspicious......

Seeing that Qin Jin was just frowning and pondering, and did not express his position for a long time, Du Qianyun boldly said: "Wei Ji is an ambitious person, if you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not bite back in the future!"

Dredging the Zhengbai Canal, Wei Ji obeyed Qin Jin's words and cooperated 100%, but the dredging of the canal also brought him unexpected political capital. It was with the credit of dredging the canal that Wei Ji successfully jumped from an insignificant official to the sight of Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and won the comment of the son of heaven's ability to govern the government.

At this time, Wei Ji was like a rising star in the court, coupled with his family background, his body and appearance were outstanding, and many officials even discussed in private when he would proclaim his mahjong and enter the political hall.

Qin Jin patted his forehead, it was really a headache, as soon as he pressed the gourd, the scoop immediately jumped out.

He sneered twice, Wei Ji was just a Jing Zhaoyin now, and exposing his ambition too early would do him more harm than good, and because of this, Qin Jin felt that he looked down on this person.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Zhishan with a sneer on his face, Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the faint monarch has always only liked to use incompetent and sloppy people, this kind of person is ambitious and good at pleasing charm, it is really a delicious and addictive poison.
