Chapter 348: Killing Thieves Doesn't Work
Qin Jin gave Lu Qi a beating, but he didn't think that after this lesson, Lu Qi would be able to completely change his outlook. The formation of a person's character, in addition to innate factors, is based on more than ten years of personal experience from childhood to adulthood.
It would be counterintuitive to think that just a few things can make a difference in a person.
To be honest, there is no shortage of people under Qin Jin's subordinates, but those who have all aspects of quality and can take charge on their own still can't take it.
In the distance, for example, Chen Qianli, this person adheres to the principle of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, even if he turns his face with Qin Jin. Therefore, this person can only use it on a limited basis. And Pei Jing and Lu Qi are desperate for Qin Jin, but Pei Jing is more than stable and weak. Lu Qi is the opposite, there is a strategy, there are means, but it is a pity that he is a little too ruthless, and he often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
For example, if the truth of this matter is known and made public by someone with a heart, then the Shenwu Army and his Qin Jin will not be able to wash it even if they jump into the Yellow River.
But if you investigate your own intentions, how can Qin Jin not have the mind to see how the imperial court will deal with it?
He really hopes that Li Longji can kill Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen immediately, although it cannot completely solve the situation of open and secret fighting in the court, but at least the most capable and most likely person to hinder bad things is dead, and many crises looming due to the struggle for power and profit may disappear.
"You should let out the errand of the chief general of the Shenwu Army first, and temporarily go to the river engineering camp to command and promote. ”
Qin Jin finally dismissed Lu Qi from the errand of being the commander of the Shenwu Army, but let him go to the Hegong Camp very punitively, and the errand he was about to perform was what Chen Qianli had received.
Chen Qianli is now returning to the Long Wu Army to serve as the chief of history, and after ten days, the feng shui turns and turns to Lu Qi's head.
Although Lu Qi was unhappy with one and ten thousand, he could only pinch his nose and admit it when he knew that he was wrong.
Seeing that Lu Qi's reaction was not very big, Qin Jin was a little strange, so he asked with a straight face:
"Let you go to the river engineering camp, are you dissatisfied?"
Lu Qi's answer was also sincere.
"Of course, the last general doesn't want to go, but if you have an order, how dare you disobey?"
For a person with Lu Qi's character, no abnormality is the biggest abnormality. But since he didn't want to show it, Qin Jin didn't force it anymore.
"That's very good. After arriving at the Hegong Camp, cultivate one's self and cultivate oneself, and review it more...... "He originally wanted to say that after a while, if he behaved well, he would be transferred back to the Shenwu Army, but when he saw Lu Qi's indifferent appearance, he was angry, so he changed his words and said: "After a while, if the position of the chief general of the Shenwu Army is still vacant, maybe he will transfer you back." ”
After saying what should be said, Qin Jin unceremoniously kicked Lu Qi out.
In fact, the indifference on Lu Qi's face was all pretended, and he began to regret it when he left the county guard's mansion, if he was soft in front of Qin Envoy, or made a look of deep repentance, maybe it would not be this result.
But what's the use of regretting with support? Lu Qi profoundly realized the consequences of having a good face and the gains outweighed the losses, so he secretly swore that if such things happened again in the future, he would definitely admit his mistakes first, and would not slap his swollen face and become fat. But then, he made a gesture and slapped his mouth, secretly scolding himself for a crow's mouth, this kind of thing happened once is enough, if it is repeatedly bad, I really don't know if Qin Envoy's character can reuse himself.
Qin Jin seems to be soft on those who cause bad things, but in fact he is ruthless.
For example, Pei Jing, in the battle in the small city of Chaoyi, although there were many external factors, not all of them were blamed on one person, but only Pei Jing received the punishment and jumped out of the Shenwu Army directly, allowing him to stay in the Longwu Army completely.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi was still a little happy in his heart, if it wasn't for Pei Jing who got into trouble and was kicked out of the Shenwu Army by Qin Envoy, he wouldn't have been able to become the commander of the Shenwu Army so quickly.
However, he was extremely happy and sad, and the position of the main general was not even hot on the buttocks, and now his fate was worse than Pei Jing, and he was directly assigned to the river engineering camp.
What Lu Qi didn't expect was that the river workers of the river engineering camp had a very good impression of Lu Qi, and when they heard that General Lu was demoted to the river engineering camp because of the disadvantage of suppressing thieves, they spontaneously gathered together to welcome each other.
The scene of tens of thousands of people welcoming Lu Qi was the first time to appreciate it, and the moment he received the cheers and praises of tens of thousands of people, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated with the wind.
……
Qin Jin asked to kill the book a day later arrived at Chang'an City Xingqing Palace, the current Tang Dynasty emperor Li Longji heard Qin Jin's name involuntarily headache, seeing Qin Jin two letters in a row, please kill the culprit of the fugitive rebellion Bian Lingcheng, he was a little hesitant for a while.
If it weren't for Bian Lingcheng's nonsense, how could Guanzhong have set off such a rebellion? How could Yu Chaoen be so unscrupulous as he is now? In the final analysis, didn't that eunuch rely on tens of thousands of beheadings on his body?
None of this is a big deal in the first place. If it had been left a year ago, if any courtier dared to be so ignorant, he would have 10,000 ways to make this person regret giving birth to his mother's child. But at this moment and then, after repeatedly experiencing civil strife, Li Longji no longer dared to toss easily, so he could only hold his breath and pretend not to see.
As long as Yu Chaoen has no antirighteousness and acts a little out of order, it doesn't matter if he turns a blind eye.
However, the letter to kill Bian Lingcheng came from Qin Jin's mouth twice, and Li Longji actually had an inexplicable rebellious mentality, out of disgust with Qin Jin and his own people, and even resisted the letter asking Bian Lingcheng to kill.
Therefore, Li Longji actually sent a god to send a letter asking for Bian Lingcheng to be killed and put it on Chang Chaoshang for discussion. His plan was that if the officials denied the majority, he would get off the donkey and change the way to deal with it. As to when it will be disposed of and what kind of punishment will be imposed, it is a different matter.
Who knew that the first person who agreed to kill Bian Lingcheng was to watch the army and make Yu Chaoen, because this person was responsible for the chaos and was allowed to participate in the Chang Dynasty to observe. Although Yu Chaoen was only allowed to listen, Yu Chaoen would not be satisfied with only his ears, and when he encountered some problems with discord, he also rushed to speak out.
And from the top and bottom of the Manchu Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the lowest-level officials, no one stood up to question it.
After only a few days, Yu Chaoen became accustomed to this level of "auditing".
"The saint and the slave also believe that Bian Lingcheng neglected his duties, causing the fugitives to rebel, and the crime should not be forgiven. ”
There was an uproar among the hundred officials, and it was only under the shouting of the eunuch that he gradually regained his calm, but the situation of talking to each other was still difficult to eliminate.
Yu Chaoen's words were only halfway through, and seeing that the officials were gradually quieting down, he continued:
"It may not be capital punishment, for the sake of its meritorious court, the head of the owl is enough!"
From a thousand knives to a show to the public, on the surface, Yu Chaoen is thinking about Bian Lingcheng, but in fact, Yu Chaoen only cares about Bian Lingcheng's life and death, as long as Bian Lingcheng, an old qualification, can die, what kind of punishment does it make?
Although Yu Chaoen was a eunuch, he had just ended a great rebellion in Guanzhong that had not been seen in a hundred years, and this kind of achievement was a credit to him, and he already had enough capital to make the officials agree with this suggestion. What's more, Yu Chaoen also pleaded with the Son of Heaven on the basis of Qin Jin's ruthless letter.
Li Longji, as usual, did not base his position on the minister's deliberations, but just sat on the imperial couch and looked at the officials with a gloomy face.
Not surprisingly, Yang Guozhong's opinion is at odds with Yu Chaoen.
"The minister objected, there is no obvious evidence that the rebellion of the fugitives is related to Bian Lingcheng, and besides, recruiting fugitives to repair the Tongguan defense is also a matter within the supervision of the army.
Yang Guozhong's words were righteous and strict, reasonable and well-founded, and immediately attracted a series of secondments in the court, even the prime minister Wei Fangjin went out of class to second, and the rest of the Jing servants were even more numerous.
Seeing the one-sided situation in the court, Yu Chaoen's face was already extremely ugly, although he had immortal skills and mastered heavy troops, but after all, he was an official with a short life, a shallow foundation, and the identity of a eunuch, the officials attached to Ah were naturally rare.
Yu Chaoen intended to kill Bian Lingcheng in order to cut off the number one stumbling block in front of him. As long as this person dies, looking at the thousands of eunuchs in the palace, who else surpasses himself in battle? Bian Lingcheng has the merit of destroying the country in the Western Regions, and if he does not take this opportunity to trample him to death, he will never be able to turn over. Maybe one day he will be his strongest opponent.
As for Gao Lishi, who was already terminally ill and dying, Yu Chaoen didn't see him as an opponent at all.
After all, Gao Lishi has followed the Son of Heaven for more than 40 years, and this friendship is not something he can hope for, and besides, that old thing is already more angry and less in, so why fight with a dying man?
Therefore, under the domination of this idea, Yu Chaoen regarded Bian Lingcheng as his biggest competitor. If he is successfully exonerated from the crime, and then partners with Gao Xianzhi, in case he repels the rebels, or then recovers the eastern capital Luoyang. Then the credit for quelling the Guanzhong Rebellion is completely incomparable. At that time, what did he rely on to fight with Bian Lingcheng?
However, Yu Chaoen was proud for a while, but he ignored the strength of the officials, and the ministers overwhelmingly supported Yang Guozhong's suggestion and pleaded for Bian Lingcheng. And the Son of Heaven actually followed the thoughts of the ministers and agreed, and did not pursue Bian Lingcheng, but only issued an edict to reprimand. Qin Jin wrote to ask Bian Lingcheng to kill Bian Lingcheng, and it ended in such a hurry.
