Qin Jin's face was gloomy, the marriage of the insect mother was long before the mutiny in Chang'an, he vaguely heard the rumors coming from the mansion of the eldest princess of the Huo country, and he had always thought it was a rumor that was nonsense, but he didn't want it to be true. But Li Longji obviously hates himself, how can he marry his own daughter?

It is not difficult to speculate on the reason, Qin Jin only thought about it and understood Li Longji's purpose, coupled with the previous gesture of goodwill in Ashina's courtesy, it is obvious that this is restricting on the one hand and wooing on the other.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but admire Li Longji a little, the old emperor who was too old turned out to be a person who could bend and stretch, especially in the strong emperor who had been in the world for more than 40 years, it was especially rare.

Since Li Longji has released enough goodwill, Qin Jin has no reason not to cooperate wholeheartedly, but after all, this news was heard privately, and before everything was announced, it was full of variables all the time, maybe Li Longji would regret it early tomorrow morning.

However, Li Longji did not regret it, and the third group of lieutenant envoys of the Son of Heaven arrived in Hedong City early the next morning.

Three groups of messengers from the Son of Heaven came one after another, which was not felt by the Shenwu Army, but in the eyes of Huangfu Ke and Feng Yijun's subordinate officials, they were shocked beyond measure. I'm afraid that looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the county Taishou who can be taken care of by the Son of Heaven is only Qin Jin.

The envoy of the Son of Heaven officially sent the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the insect girl has been named the princess of Shou'an, and she will marry Qin Jin on an auspicious day.

Qin Jin is not allowed to have any room for refusal, in fact, Qin Jin cannot refuse, this is the condition set by Li Longji, even if Li Worm Niang is a woman with a very bad reputation and extremely ugly, he has to pinch his nose and recognize it.

This time, the eunuch who delivered the edict was no longer like the previous one, and avoided it, so he happily agreed to Qin Jin's invitation and entered the city to feast and rest.

It's just that Qin Jin didn't have extra time to greet this messenger of the Son of Heaven, and he only accompanied him for less than a quarter of an hour, and then he confessed and left, fortunately, this eunuch and the prison army Jingyou had an old relationship, and it was not rude to have Jingyou in charge of greeting.

The Son of Heaven had previously asked Qin Jin to pick up Zhang Fuchen from Taiyuan, but the road was not very smooth, most of Jinzhou and other places were occupied by rebels, and if you want to open up the transportation from Taiyuan to Pujin, you must clear the rebels in this prefecture and county.

To tell the truth, let Qin Jin defend the city to a little bit of confidence, take the initiative to attack the rebels, there is no complete certainty in his heart, it may not be difficult to win, but it will inevitably make the Shenwu army hurt.

Therefore, Qin Jin must make thorough investigations and preparations in advance.

……

Huangfu Ke was also having a headache to purge the rebels in Jinzhou and other places, he and Qin Jin made an appointment to discuss matters in the county court after noon, and at this moment there was still half an hour before noon, he was dressed and ready to leave for the county court.

A green-shirted scribe beside him seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Huangfu Ke, and still followed behind and nagged regardless of it.

"General, the Son of Heaven has an edict, and these five counties are upright and upright, so why should they stick to personal grievances?"

"Chen Zai, the old man warns you, don't say such words again, the old man and Qin Envoy Jun advance and retreat together, this is the idea now, and this idea will be the same in the future, it will not change!"

Chen Zao stomped his feet and asked, "What are you afraid of the old general?" Shuo Fangjun's name is justified, and it is a great opportunity to raise his eyebrows and create a new situation!"

Huangfu Ke stood up suddenly, turned his head and glared at Chen Zai, who followed closely behind, and was caught off guard and almost hit him.

"Afraid? The old man has been fighting horses for half his life, how could he ever be afraid? But now the old man is really afraid, not Qin Jin, nor a thief, but cannibalism, which makes the relatives painful, and the enemies are happy!"

The emperor paused slightly, and then asked sharply:

"Chen Zai, the old man asked you, do you want to be a cannibalistic knife bearer?"

As he spoke, Huang Fu Ke's right hand had already tightened the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist, as if he would only wait for Chen Zheng to give an affirmative answer, he would draw the knife and take his head.

Chen Zheng was like being struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He really hoped that Huangfu Ke would compete with Qin Jin, and even had the idea of letting Huangfu Ke replace Qin Jin. In fact, there are not a few of Huang Fu Ke's subordinates who have this kind of thought, but he never imagined that Huang Fu Ke's attitude was so resolute.

Seeing the killing intent bursting out of Huang Fu Ke's eyes, Chen Zheng's mind was completely cold, knowing that Huang Fu Ke would definitely not adopt his opinion, and even if he didn't say a word, he still had the possibility of being different.

After a while, Chen Zheng fell to the ground.

"The old general Gao Yi is ashamed of himself!"

Huangfu Ke gave up this seemingly excellent opportunity to compete for power with Qin Jin, which in Chen Zao's view, was indeed a great sacrifice, although he did not agree, but seventy percent of this statement came from the heart.

"Go back and tell those impetuous-minded rabbit cubs, whoever thinks about it again, don't blame the old man for not being emotional!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Huangfu Ke strode out of the door, but met Feng Tang who was hurrying over.

Feng Tang was a close confidant under the command of Huangfu Ke, who once went to danger alone, and was captured alive by Qin Jin's generals in Tongzhou City. In short, from then on, as long as Feng Tang mentioned Qin Jin, he would inevitably praise him again and again.

"Hurrying roaring, why panic?"

"General, it's not that I'm panicking, it's the envoy of the Son of Heaven who is here again!"

Huangfu Ke's heart suddenly struck. Two days ago, the Son of Heaven used two edicts to dig a dark ditch between the Shenwu Army and the Shuofang Army, causing the two sides to secretly quarrel.

He wanted to scold a few words, but now that he had returned to the Tang Dynasty, if he insulted the Son of Heaven in public, he might cause much trouble in the future. So he only spat viciously and said hatefully:

"It's an endless mess, let's go, let's take a look!"

Who knew that Feng Tang's turned his face and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing." The Son of Heaven sent an envoy to convey the edict to the Qin envoy, and wanted to recruit him as a concubine!"

"Which princess is it, but the Son of Heaven ** insect girl?"

Yesterday, Huang Fu Ke heard the news from Du Qianyun, although the businessman was conclusive, but before the imperial court officially announced it, he only regarded it as a rumor, and he didn't want to be confirmed so soon.

"It's not the worm girl, it's Princess Shou'an!"

Feng Tang didn't know much about the situation of the clan, but Huang Fu Ke knew very well, he hadn't heard of Princess Shou'an before, presumably the Son of Heaven had officially named the insect mother as Princess Shou'an.

It seems that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Qin Jin, otherwise he would not have given the title of Princess Worm Niang so abruptly.

"Hey, the general, wait, the last general still hasn't said anything......"

However, where did Huangfu Ke have the heart to listen to Feng Tang idle there, so he galloped away from the county court after getting on his horse.

He originally thought that Qin Jin must be greeting the envoy of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect to arrive at the county court, but he saw that Qin Jin had been waiting outside the door for a long time. This made Huangfu Ke's heart suddenly shocked, and he felt that his previous decision was not wrong, although this Qin envoy did not seem to be a loyal and upright person, but he also had the Tang Dynasty and the world in his heart.

"The old general is really punctual, Qin admires!"

Huangfu Ke smiled embarrassedly, turned over and dismounted, and said refreshingly:

"Don't make fun of the old man, get down to business, clear the five counties, Qin Envoy Jun has a plan?"

Qin Jin Dao:

"Please teach me the old general!"

Huangfu Ke waved his hand, and the two entered the county court side by side.

"If you don't teach it, let the king make some false texts, the Shuofang army under the command of the old man and the Shenwu army advance and retreat together, as long as the king has an order, the old man will not dare to disobey!"

Qin Jin believed that this was Huangfu Ke's heartfelt words, and he reiterated this point again today, presumably having solved the internal problems of the Shuofang army.

"The two armies are naturally two-in-one, advancing and retreating together, but what Qin wants to listen to is a practical method!"

As they spoke, the two had already passed through the corridor and entered the central hall of the county court. After Huangfu Ke sat down, he simply said:

"There are not no practical methods, the old man has three suggestions here, one of them, the two armies of Shenwu and Shuofang are ready for war at all times. Second, it is necessary to vigorously integrate the united forces so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Third, gather and gather the various ministries scattered in the five counties**, and integrate all the forces that can fight the rebels. ”

These three suggestions are decent, and in fact, they are the same as Qin Jin's thoughts, but they are a little conservative.

"The five counties of Hedong are well run, we should use this as a springboard to smash An Lushan's lair, Fan Yang!"

Huangfu Ke's voice fell, and Qin Jin added a sentence happily and loudly.

Hearing this, Huangfu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, he only thought about how to eliminate the rebel forces in the five counties of Hedong, but he didn't want Qin Jin to think further, and even had the idea of attacking An Lushan's old nest Fan Yang. When I first heard it, Huang Fu Ke felt that this idea was a bit unrealistic, Tongguan and Luoyang, ** were all tired of coping, they were just a partial division, why did they hit Fan Yang?

But seeing that Qin Jin seemed to be very confident, Huangfu Ke felt that Qin Jin might not be empty words.

While the two were discussing, a soldier suddenly came in a hurry.

"Envoy, there are people outside who want to see you. ”

"Who wants to see you?"

"The other party claims to be the magistrate of Hedong County!"

"The history of the magistrate of Hedong County?"

Qin Jin's spirit was lifted, he only heard that when Hedong City changed hands, the officials in the city either died in martyrdom, or fled in panic and disappeared, and now there are still officials who are willing to come and defect, it can be seen that there are still many people who plan to come back and have something to do.

"Please!"

At this time, there was no concept that the local officials were responsible for defending the territory in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if they couldn't fight, they could retreat and transfer with the army and civilians, and wait until the enemy army withdrew and then came back.

"The subordinate Hedong County Magistrate Shi Sun Anping visited Qin Envoy. ”

In fact, although the long history of Hedong County is the deputy of the Taishou of Hedong County, he is not subordinate to Qin Jin, who is the Taishou of Feng Yi County, and Sun Anping has no problem if he holds his own identity and is not called a subordinate.
