Chapter 373: Inexplicably becoming a colt
"An angel has arrived at the court!"
The group was tracing up the river valley to survey the nearby terrain in preparation for the war. Suddenly hearing that the angel had arrived in Hedong City again, Qin Jin always had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart. The rewarded angel had just left for three days, so how could another angel come? Could it be that the same group of people had an accident and turned back the same way?
On the way back, Qin Jin quickly overturned this idea again.
From the limited information of the summoning soldiers, Qin Jin judged that these people should be completely different from the other passers-by of the Reward Angel, otherwise they would not have called themselves back from the inspection of military affairs in such a hurry.
After arriving in Hedong City, Qin Jin really did not make a mistake, but it was the envoy who conveyed the edict of the Son of Heaven.
But to Qin Jin's surprise, the object of the edict was not only Qin Jin alone, but also Huangfu Ke, who had just restored his status as a Tang general.
"Feng Yijun is too guarded by Qin Jin, and when he stepped forward, there was an edict from the Son of Heaven. ”
The envoy who delivered the edict, that is, the eunuch, did not read it in the middle, but delivered the edict in his hand directly to Qin Jin. Then he looked behind Qin Jin, "Huangfu Ke stepped forward, and there is also an edict from the Son of Heaven......"
It was at this moment that the scene immediately produced a subtle atmosphere.
Qin Jin didn't say anything, but the group of Shenwu troops who followed him smelled a trace of unusual smell.
What exactly was the content of the edict that Emperor Fu Ke received? The people of the Shenwu Army were extremely curious about this, even more than they were curious about the edict in Qin Jin's hand.
"A mission here has been completed, but there is still a mission to be completed, so there is no longer much delay......
After the edict was delivered, the envoy refused Qin Jin's invitation to enter the city, and did not even enter Hedong City, so he hurried back to the west of the Yellow River.
Soon, the contents of the two edicts were revealed to the public. The Son of Heaven ordered the Shenwu Army to lead the Shenwu Army to eliminate all rebels from the northern capital Taiyuan to Pujin, and then bring back Zhang Fuchen, who was stranded in Taiyuan.
This edict gave Qin Jin a reasonable name for transferring the Shenwu army to start a major battle in Hedong Province, which was not bad news. But when he learned the content of the edict conveyed by the Son of Heaven to Huangfu Ke, it was difficult for him to laugh no matter what.
Huangfu Ke spread his hands, and in front of Qin Jin, his expression was quite embarrassed.
Because the Son of Heaven had just entrusted him with the dispatch of the military envoys of the five counties of Hedong Province. That is to say, the ** of the five counties of Puzhou, Jiangzhou, Cizhou, Jinzhou, and Zezhou, he has the right to propose the adjustment system.
Such an appointment is a world away from the Kamazu garrison before the rebellion.
"What is the intention of the Son of Heaven to be so favoritous?"
Huangfu Ke made no secret of it, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the two edicts of the Son of Heaven, even a fool can see that it is full of strong malice, that is, to make the two of them dissatisfied and estranged, and even fight.
Qin Jin secretly sneered, as the Son of Heaven, of course he didn't want to see the relationship between the magistrate and the military general in charge of the military too harmonious, and he gave most of the credit for the battle of Hedong City to Huangfu Ke, and I believe that the court also saw the trickiness. Li Longji must have felt like a fish in his throat about the friendship between him and Huangfu Ke.
Under such circumstances, Li Longji actually resorted to such despicable means, hoping that he and Huangfu Ke would have a quarrel because of this, and then fight with each other.
Qin Jin told himself over and over again to be calm, to be calm, and not to be driven by anger.
Now it seems that Huang Fu Ke did not buy the appointment of the Son of Heaven, but was very dissatisfied. This point is quite reassuring to Qin Jin, but no matter how noble the personal character is, there will be subtle changes after the power is in hand, even if Huang Fu Ke himself does not have any wrong thoughts, then what about Huang Fu Ke's subordinates? Between them and the Shenwu Army, there is still a feud in the First World War.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin immediately began to anticipate the worst outcome.
In fact, the worst outcome is nothing more than two things, one is that the Shenwu army avoids fighting with Huang Fu Ke's Shuofang army for power, which leads to infighting, and all of them withdraw to Fengyi County west of the Yellow River. The second is that the Shenwu Army and Huangfu Ke are fighting for both defeats. Either way, it will be An Lushan's rebels who will get the best in the end.
Therefore, handling the relationship with Huangfu Ke has become the main problem that Qin Jin is facing at the moment, and Li Longji's insidious ideas must not be allowed to succeed.
Seeing that Qin Jin did not respond for a long time, Huangfu Ke simply said:
"The old man doesn't obey the edict, he still obeys the temperance of the Qin envoy!"
Huangfu Ke really didn't have the face to accept this edict, everyone knew that the credit for the battle of Hedong City was given to him by Qin Jin, and since Qin Jin reached an agreement with it, he has been taking care of the Shuofang army under his command. Now after a big war, he has embezzled the fruits that should have belonged to Qin Jin, so do you have to let people poke their backbones in the back and be scolded for being ungrateful?
Qin Jin shook his head.
"General Huangfu can't be impulsive, before you and I had a headache and didn't have the name to integrate the ** scattered in Puzhou, now the Son of Heaven has sent the name over and handed it over to you, what is the difference between it and my hand? As long as you and I can work together, we don't have to worry about clearing out the remnants of the puppet Yan in the entire Hedong Province!"
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Jin decided to compromise with reality, and let Huangfu Ke resist the dispatch of the military envoys of the five southern counties in Hedong Province? Didn't the Shenwu Army also have a justifiable excuse to wipe out the rebels in An Lushan in Hedong Province? The difference was only that it did not meddle in the power of the Hedong region.
Huang Fuke still strongly objected.
"To put it mildly, the old man will not accept this kind of edict no matter how anti-Tang he is. Otherwise, wouldn't the old man have to carry the infamy of ingratitude and poke the backbone of the benevolent man?"
Huangfu Ke said this is not a coy gesture, since the relatives and clansmen in Beijing were killed in the case of "tired of winning and shooting couples", he has nothing to worry about, anti-Tang is not anti-Tang, this life is full of sadness and failure. Could it be that now for the sake of the five counties to watch the army, you have to be a-stirring stick for the Son of Heaven who is hiding behind and making a bad move?
No way!
"Qin Envoy, please forgive the old man for being difficult to obey!"
Although Qin Jin made a sincere enough gesture to ask Huang Fu Ke to take the edict, Huang Fu Ke still emotionally refused.
For a while, it made Qin Jin a little at a loss, if Huangfu Ke did not accept the order and did not be an envoy to watch the army, I am afraid that the result would be worse than previously expected. In this way, the Son of Heaven will only think that he, Qin Jin, is the mastermind behind the scenes, obstructing Huangfu Ke from taking office as the envoy of the Five Counties to watch the army, and confronting the court Yang Fengyin.
"Old general, do you want to put Qin Jin in doubt with the Son of Heaven?"
Since Huangfu Ke refused again and again, Qin Jin no longer hid it and said his true thoughts.
Huangfu Ke didn't expect Qin Jin's attitude to be so resolute, but he was still a little stunned if he would trap Qin Jin in disloyalty. But how smart he was, he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Qin Jin's words. That is, he was stunned, and the anger and excitement were immediately dispersed without a trace, and the emperor who calmed down suddenly felt cold sweat all over his body.
"Old general, please don't shirk!"
He looked at Qin Jin and stood for a long time, finally sighing.
"In this case, the old man obeys his fate! But there is a word first, the old man only cares about the Shuo Fang army, and the rest ignore it!"
Finally, Qin Jin let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also felt the strong malice of the Son of Heaven who was far away in Chang'an, and the distance was far away, and he was more and more at a disadvantage in the game with the Son of Heaven. The seemingly frivolous move of the Son of Heaven made him have to accept this injustice willingly!
After such a toss, everyone's high enthusiasm fell to the bottom in an instant, and the relationship between the Shenwu Army and the Shuofang Army also changed from close cooperation to subtlety.
But Huang Fu Ke didn't care what others thought, after he accepted Qin Jin's suggestion, he took the dispatch without giving in, and then went to the thank you table again. In addition, everything was as usual, and he was in one place with Qin Jin every day, discussing the next plan.
Just when everyone thought that the moth of the Son of Heaven was over, Du Ganyun rushed to Hedong City and brought secret news from Chang'an.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
After Du Qianyun saw Qin Jin, he didn't wait for greetings, but he gave an inexplicable congratulations, which caused Lu Qi on the side to be extremely unhappy.
"Du Qianyun, don't sell it anywhere, if there is something, tell it quickly!"
Du Qianyun smiled and didn't care about Lu Qi's scolding.
"Your Majesty got the exact news, the Son of Heaven summoned the eldest princess of Huo Guo into the palace to discuss the matter of recruiting the king as a concubine!"
"Really?"
didn't wait for Qin Jin to speak, but it was Huangfu Ke, who was sitting on Qin Jin's right hand, who asked.
"It's true, there will never be a fake! Although the news has not yet been announced, it is from the mansion of the eldest princess of the Huo Kingdom!"
This is really a surprise to everyone!
When Du Qianyun said the news that Li Longji was going to recruit Qin Jin as a concubine, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile, and there was even a little sympathy and urgency in his eyes when he looked at Qin Jin.
"That's good news, and it's worth congratulating. Du Qianyun, this time it's Lu who blames you!"
Lu Qi was born in the Fanyang Lu family, and he is a son of a large clan second to none, and he has always looked down on a lowly person like Du Qianyun who was born in a businessman.
"The last general will be the envoy of Jun Yihe! I don't know which princess it is?"
At the same time, Pei Jing also joined in the fun and began to count the unmarried princesses of the right age with his fingers.
"It's the worm girl, Pei Jizhi told me to be humble!"
"It turned out to be her, she just turned sixteen this year, sure enough"
Huangfu Ke is not like a cadre of Qin Jin will laugh freely, in his opinion, these people are simply gloating, where is what congratulations. The daughter of Shang Tianzi, being the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, in the eyes of a lowly person like Du Qianyun, who was born as a businessman, is naturally a blessing to invite heaven. But the horses of the Tang Dynasty are among the wang clans in various places, but everyone avoids them.
Let's not mention that the horse has no manly dignity to be a minister in front of the princess, that is, the reputation of the princess of the Tang Dynasty who is dissolute, and the hat of the horse has long been outrageous.
