Chapter 154: Falling short
"Such a character is the way that Qin Jin took for him?"
Li Longji had already developed a strong interest in Zheng Xianli at this time, so he said again.
"Returning to the saint, it is the way that Qin Jin walked for him to enter the Wei side, a white jade produced in the Western Regions, rare in the world, and priceless!"
Hearing that Qin Jin was willing to use a priceless white jade to seek an official for others, and the official he sought was only an ordnance supervisor, Li Longji couldn't help but be surprised.
Gao Lishi had his inference, "Inferred from the slave maid, Qin Jin was born in a cold family, and he was only a county lieutenant in Xin'an County before, and there would never be a way to get such a priceless white jade from the Western Regions." It is Zheng Xianli, who has been a general in the Western Regions for many years, and I think it was during that time that he got a rare treasure in this world. The way Qin Jin took was just entrusted by others!"
Colliers's analysis was reasonable, and Li Longji thought so, but his mind was anxious to see Zheng Xianli. He wanted to continue to observe for a while, what was the unknown relationship between Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli, and what was the ultimate goal of these two people.
With this thought, Li Longji waved his hand. How clever Gao Lishi was, he immediately understood that this was the lack of heaven, so he got up and retired.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the hall, he saw Bian Ling Cheng rushing towards him.
Bian Lingcheng has suffered a setback recently, but he is still in favor of the saint, and now he has been ordered to go to Tongguan to supervise the army. Colliers is very cautious on weekdays, and rarely has a high-flying and domineering attitude, so he politely greets him.
"General Bian, what's the matter with the spring breeze?"
is very different from Gao Lishi's mind, Bian Lingcheng has always been jealous and hateful to Gao Lishi, and when he saw Gao Lishi's sick appearance, his eyes were filled with a look of schadenfreude, but he was still very polite.
"The slave has seen General Gao, and the slave and maid are here by holy order!"
The implication is that there is no need to explain it to Colliers.
Colliers exchanged a few words of greeting and then walked away. Bian Lingcheng watched Gao Lishi walk away, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the left and right, he took a sip and scolded in a low voice: "Old immortal, why doesn't the king of Hades accept him!"
In the hall, Li Longji was asleep, and when he heard the movement, he suddenly woke up, and when he looked up and saw that it was Bian Lingcheng, he remembered the errand he had explained yesterday.
"How's the errand going?"
Bian Lingcheng was full of energy, bowed down and said: "The slave is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the investigation has been clear. ”
After that, Bian Lingcheng respectfully held an official document in his hands and put it on top of the imperial case.
"I'm dazzled, it's troublesome to see, you can talk about it concisely!"
Bian Lingcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "It has been verified that the person who led the troops that day was a person named Du Qianyun!"
"Wait!"
Li Longji suddenly felt that something was wrong, so how familiar was Du Qianyun's name? He only recalled it for a moment, and then remembered, "Du Qianyun, but Yang Guozhong is the one who procured the rank of the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army?"
Bian Lingcheng nodded yes! Li Longji was furious, "Such a shameless person actually humiliated the person who was promoted, how can such a villain let him continue to live in the court? Where is this thief now?"
Bian Lingcheng said proudly: "When Yang Guozhong dismissed the prime minister, this person should have been implicated, but I don't know how to tie up with Qin Jin, yes, he was not severely punished, and he is still in the Shenwu army!"
"Kill, kill!"
The Son of Heaven said two things in a row that should be killed, which frightened Bian Lingcheng's body, and he didn't know whether Qin Jin should be killed, or Du Qianyun should be killed. However, he knew that today's goal had been achieved, and Qin Jin's little shaft would not be able to eat and go around!
Li Longji gasped for a while, then thought of Yang Guozhong again, thinking that he was humiliated by the person who handled the promotion, but this grievance was unbearable.
After a long time, Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Summoning Yang Guozhong into the palace!"
The Son of Heaven wanted to summon Yang Guozhong into the palace, Bian Lingcheng was happy again, and Yang Guozhong must hate Qin Jin and Du Qianyun, as long as he goes out at this time and goes down the well, maybe he can easily take Qin Jin off the position of the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army today. As long as Qin Jin loses his official position and power, isn't he allowed himself to be flattened and kneaded in Chang'an City?
As soon as the eunuch who conveyed the edict left, Cheng Yuanzhen entered the palace again.
Li Longji sent Cheng Yuanzhen to contact Yang Guozhong, and when he entered the palace at this time, he thought that there was also news to report.
Cheng Yuanzhen glanced at Bian Lingcheng, who was standing on the side, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. Li Longji didn't care much about this, Yang Guozhong's matter and Bian Lingcheng's report today may still have an intersection, and there is nothing wrong with saying it together. Besides, he had no intention of covering up the intrigue between these eunuchs.
"It's okay, just say it!"
Although Cheng Yuanzhen was reluctant, he had a holy order, so he could only bite the bullet and concisely tell the drama of "bringing harmony" staged outside Yang Guozhong's mansion.
This surprised Li Longji again, "You mean, Du Qianyun was guilty of Jing pleading, and Yang Guozhong forgave him?"
"Exactly! The slave and maid hid in the crowd and saw it with their own eyes, Yang Xianggong and Du Qianyun entered the house side by side!"
Although it was a farce, Li Longji was very satisfied with Yang Guozhong's handling method. It can even be said that it is far beyond his judgment of Yang Guozhong. If it was Yang Guozhong before the dismissal of the prime minister, he would never spare Du Qianyun, let alone cooperate with Du Qianyun to show his mind to the world!
Yang Guozhong gradually became calm and mature after experiencing the turmoil, which was an unexpected gain in Li Longji's view. If Yang Guozhong is as Cheng Yuanzhen described, he may not be able to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future. Even if you re-enter the political hall, you can do it!
However, Bian Lingcheng's face on the side changed color. The biggest lever he relied on to attack Qin Jin was Du Qianyun, and if Du Qianyun and Yang Guozhong reconciled their previous suspicions, wouldn't the strength of his attack be weaker? However, he was still not completely disappointed, after all, Du Qianyun was Du Qianyun, and Qin Jin was Qin Jin. Qin Jin made Yang Guozhong even more miserable, with Yang Guozhong's narrow mind, how could he easily let go of the great opportunity to overthrow Qin Jin?
Bian Lingcheng pinned his last hope on Yang Guozhong, just waiting for Yang Guozhong to arrive, and then he would fall into the trap for Qin Jin.
More than half an hour later, Yang Guozhong entered the Daming Palace.
This time when he entered the palace, Yang Guozhong's mood was very different from the previous time, and now everything is improving, and returning to the political hall is just around the corner, and the feeling of the prime minister is back. And the little yellow gate in the Daming Palace saw Yang Guozhong one by one, and they all kept shouting, Yang Xianggong shouted.
"Minister, Yang Guozhong knocked to see that His Majesty the Emperor is fine!"
Yang Guozhong made a big salute, Li Longji said goodbye, and then pointed to the couch beside him.
"Sit down!"
Speaking of the "peace with the generals" drama with Du Qianyun, Li Longji was still quite curious, and he wanted to know what this prime minister, who had always been known for his narrow-mindedness, thought about the government and the opposition.
"After the minister was imprisoned, he was reflecting all the time. The minister deserves to be punished, but the saint does not abandon it, and the minister dares to harm the public weapon with personal anger again?"
"Du Qianyun is incorruptible and shameful, you just bombard him out, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it!"
Yang Guozhong said seriously: "Although Du Qianyun has pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, he has some insight in military affairs after all. At this extraordinary time, it is necessary to use talents in an eclectic manner, and it is also an expedient method to use their abilities!"
Li Longji laughed and said: "What an expedient method! Let's talk about it, what can Du Qianyun do for my Datang!"
Yang Guozhong relayed Du Qianyun's "thinking" to Li Longji in 1510. At the beginning, Li Longji thought that Yang Guozhong was interceding for a private person again, but he couldn't help but straighten up halfway after hearing it.
"Loyal to the monarch, serve the country!" The four words, of course, are emphasized by the imperial court all the time, but they are only aimed at officials and generals. However, Du Qianyun proposed to promote loyalty to the monarch and serving the country as a kind of "thought" in the army, so as to unite the combat effectiveness of soldiers, which can be said to have opened an unprecedented precedent.
Moreover, in Yang Guozhong's description, the new army will set up a special post to grasp the ideological dynamics of the soldiers below the brigade rate, so that the idea of "serving the country with loyalty" can be widely popularized in the army, and the most appropriate response can be made in light of specific situations.
This suggestion not only focuses on the overall situation, but also implements it in the details. In Li Longji's opinion, unless he is a great talent in the world, it is impossible to come up with such a wonderful method!
"Is this really Du Qianyun's suggestion?"
Li Longji was suspicious in his heart! Yang Guozhong's words were conclusive, "The ministers guarantee their lives, and every word comes from Du Qianyun's mouth!"
Hearing Yang Guozhong's assurance, Li Longji sighed secretly, such a talent, but it is a pity that he has a loss of virtue, otherwise he is really a seedling who can enter the phase!
The matter of Du Qianyun was put aside for the time being, and Li Longji had not forgotten the original purpose of summoning Yang Guozhong into the palace.
"I heard that the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army instigated his generals and humiliated you, but is there such a thing?"
Yang Guozhong was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the Son of Heaven summoned him for this matter, and the little eunuch who delivered the edict did not mention this matter, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. This made Bian Lingcheng on the side anxious, and kept muttering in his heart, looking forward to it, Yang Guozhong hurriedly sent the final fatal blow to Qin Jin.
"The minister doesn't understand that the lieutenant of the Shenwu Army will deal with it impartially, and Du Qianyun is still in the Shenwu Army, and he is just acting according to orders, and there is no inappropriate behavior towards the ministers and the whole of the government. I just don't know where this matter came from in the palace?"
Yang Guozhong blurted out, and Li Longji was taken aback.
Bian Lingcheng was stunned and suddenly felt angry, he had reached an agreement with Yang Guozhong before, that is, to work together against Qin Jin, but only a day has passed, how did he change the hexagram and even cover it up for Qin Jin?
If it weren't for the fact that he was in front of the king at this time, Bian Lingcheng really wanted to rush up, grabbed Yang Guozhong's collar, and asked him, why did this make all his efforts today in vain?
