Chapter 261: Xiang Gongqian's advice

Li Longji pointed to the eunuch beside him, and cast a rather intriguing glance at Qin Jin.

The light in the main hall of the Qinzheng Building was not bright, Qin Jin finally got used to it, and when he looked closely, it was Jingyou, the inner supervisor. Jing You had some festivals with Qin Jin earlier because of his brother, but later he had already released his old suspicions, and even had a lot of friendships. Qin Jin believed that with Li Longji's ears and eyes, he should more or less know some of the origins of the relationship between Jingyou and the Shenwu Army. But what is strange is that Li Longji still seems to be reusing this person regardless of it, since the mutiny, the pattern in the Xingqing Palace has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the eunuchs who were powerful in the past either died in the mutiny, or fell out of favor and fell out of favor.

This Jingyou's status in Xingqing Palace can already be compared with the likes of Bian Lingcheng and Cheng Yuanzhen in the past. Of course, no matter when and where, Jingyou still has the label of Bian Ling Chengyizi. But this cannot be the reason why Li Longji believes in his people.

It is said that the Son of Heaven's scheming is as deep as the sea, and the appointment of just an internal supervisor makes people scratch their heads. Qin Jin can be regarded as having some understanding now. Of course, he would never believe that Li Longji's appointment of Jingyou was caused by his old eyes and poor brains.

"The slave must live up to the high expectations of the saint!"

Jingyou knelt down and swore his heart. Li Longji also seemed to be very satisfied with Jing You's reaction, and after letting him get up, he smiled at Gao Yang and the others:

"The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the honest minister. Although Jingyou is a eunuch, he can still be consistent, and he has outperformed more than a hundred officials. ”

Li Longji rarely praised the eunuchs in front of his courtiers, and Gao Yang's faces were a little embarrassed, including Qin Jin's faces, which were a little hot. A sentence of wind and grass, Bandang Chengchen, seems to be intentionally or unintentionally mocking both ends of his head.

However, Li Longji did not dwell on this topic, but quickly mentioned the precautions of Jingshi and even Guanzhong.

In this regard, Qin Jin was not in a hurry to express his position, after all, with Gao Yang and Gao Yang in front, it was not his turn to show off.

Sure enough, Yang Guozhong was the first to speak.

"The minister thought that although there were 200,000 troops in Tongguan, Ge Shuhan had not yet recovered from his illness, and Guanzhong still had to expand its armaments in case of accidents. ”

After talking about it for half an hour, Yang Guozhong's main idea was that the defense force of the Chang'an garrison was insufficient, and the army must be expanded, and it should be independent of the Shence Army and the Beiya Army.

In this regard, Gao Xianzhi agreed, although his words were not much, but every sentence was on the point. Li Longji nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with the singing and harmony of Gao Yang and the others, and expanding Chang'an's defense was indeed the first priority.

Qin Jin silently pondered what other intentions Yang Guozhong's suggestion had.

In fact, Yang Guozhong's purpose can be easily guessed, and after suffering enough of the mutiny, he naturally has to personally control a large army to come to peace of mind. As an outsider, the Shence Army originated in Longyou and Ge Shuhan of Tongguan has an inextricable relationship, and for him it is tantamount to a tiger and wolf on the pillow, although it is controlled by Yu Chaoen, but the eunuchs can control the border army of those half-soldiers and half-bandits is still unknown.

As for Li Longji and Gao Xianzhi's satisfaction with this, it is also easy to understand. Li Longji is the best at checks and balances, the Longwu Army is behind the mutiny, and after the Shenwu Army leaves Chang'an, only the Shence Army is left alone, so it is necessary to raise a force to restrain it, so that you can sit back and relax.

After figuring out the joints, Qin Jin even held an attitude of not saying a word. At present, what is being discussed in the Qinzheng Building is nothing more than who will fill the vacated power space in Chang'an City after the Shenwu Army leaves.

If you talk about the right person to expand the army, it must be Gao Xianzhi. But with Qin Jin's understanding of Li Longji, this old son of heaven should have more than eighty percent of the possibility of leaning towards Yang Guozhong.

Often, in such a complex situation, choosing one's ability and possessing one's own is not the best choice, but in contrast, choosing one's relatives is more acceptable to the vast majority of people.

The reason why Li Longji repeatedly protected Yang Guozhong at the last moment and refused to expel him from Chang'an was precisely this idea in his heart.

Sure enough, Li Longji pondered for a while and then said slowly: "Gao Qing's illness has not healed, and he should be recuperated for some time, and Yang Qing will work for the expansion of the army." As he spoke, he cast an inquiring glance at Gao Xianzhi again, "How about taking charge of the Sixth Army after Gao Qing recovers?"

On the surface, it was to discuss with him, but how could Gao Xianzhi refuse, naturally he owed his promise.

With the support of the Son of Heaven, Yang Guozhong's eyes flashed with excitement, after the mutiny, not to mention returning to the political hall, he still has the Chang'an New Army in his hands, who else can threaten his position in the future?

Suddenly, Qin Jin's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he thought of a more critical question, which he had been ignoring.

On the surface, the arrangement of the Son of Heaven is to dominate the armies of Chang'an, and not to make any one dominant. But jumping out of the circle of Chang'an to judge, doesn't it mean to guard against Ge Shuhan?

You must know that the Chang'an mutiny lasted for more than seven days, and the Shence army of Longyou Zhaozhou could come from a hundred miles away, and Tongguan was only from Chang'an, but Ge Shuhan did not send back a single soldier, can this not make the suspicious Son of Heaven feel guilty?

If it is not bad as expected, I am afraid that Li Longji will make some moves next.

But these actions had nothing to do with the Shenwu Army, and Qin Jin was unwilling to step in, and it became the best policy to stand by and watch.

Qin Jin took the initiative to go, which greatly reduced Li Longji's pressure, and even the Shenwu Army was not as nervous as before, as long as these troublesome sons of the family left Chang'an, they were not afraid that they would turn the sky upside down.

Of course, Li Longji is not stupid, he dares to send the Shenwu Army and Qin Jin to Feng Yijun together, so he naturally has something to rely on. More than seventy percent of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army are from the Guanzhong family, and the vast majority of them, the family members of the clan are in Chang'an, and letting them go out is like a paper kite that is released.

In the Qinzheng Building, the two important ministers of the Son of Heaven and Gao Yang discussed the expansion of Chang'an's defenses, and they discussed for a whole hour, leaving Qin Jin aside, and it seemed that he had forgotten him.

Instead of feeling left out in the cold, Qin Jin was happy to stay out of the matter. He is now tired of Chang'an to the bone, from the Son of Heaven to the officials who are the size of sesame mung beans, together forming a bottomless mud whirlpool, just withdrawn from it, but he doesn't want to step into it again.

Seeing the political situation in Chang'an from an outsider's point of view, Qin Jin's mind was unprecedentedly clear.

Li Longji was in the middle of the whirlpool, thinking that he was playing with the forces of all sides of the imperial court in applause, but as everyone knows, doing so can only push him step by step into the abyss that is difficult to save.

Moreover, as Li Longji's body gets older day by day, he will have more and more control over the details of power, and whether he can successfully manipulate his subordinates will be marked with a big question mark.

The previous mutiny was abruptly abrupt from the loss of control of the "Tired of Winning and Shooting Couples" case, isn't this a clear proof of Li Longji's ability to control the drastic decline?

However, Qin Jin is no longer the Qin Jin when he first came to Chang'an, he knows that any suggestion can only be a deaf ear to Li Longji, the old Son of Heaven has no extra experience to make changes, all he can do is to maintain and continue the previous way of ruling with ease, and only by doing so will he feel at ease.

After discussing the matter, the Zhongshu ordered Gao Xianzhi to turn his attention to Qin Jin's body.

"I heard that the Yellow River is in danger of being cut off, and Pujin has lost the danger of the river, so I don't know how to retreat from the enemy?"

At this point, Qin Jin understood. It turned out that this meeting was not Li Longji's idea at all, otherwise which round would Gao Xianzhi ask questions first? I think it was Gao Xianzhi who couldn't rest assured, so he asked Li Longji to summon him to give advice.

Qin Jin bowed and said, "Please also publicize it!"

Gao Xianzhi said solemnly: "Pujin is Feng Yi's gateway to the east of the river, and Feng Yi is the important place of Sanfuji, there must be no mistakes, can you write it down?"

Saying this is tantamount to telling Qin Jin euphemistically that Feng Yijun's importance is irreplaceable and must not be given up. The implication is that if people are in the county, the dead in the county will not come back.

"The minister told his subordinates to keep it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to forget every word!"

Gao Xianzhi didn't say a word to instruct Qin Jin on how to defend, but only took a stern attitude, half an admonition and half a warning, signaling to Qin Jin that he had to live and die with Feng Yi, and he must no longer be like Xin'an and Shaanzhou, and give up if he can't fight. Because, behind Feng Yi is Chang'an, and there is no way to retreat.

At this point, Gao Xianzhi suddenly stood up and came to the screen on the side, and immediately there were attendants who followed over to light the wax platform in front of the screen one by one, and under the light of a candle, Qin Jin found that the lock on the screen was not an ordinary pattern, but a map of Guanzhong.

Gao Xianzhi's right hand pointed heavily at the upper left of Chang'an's location.

"Feng Yi chokes Chang'an's passage to Hedong, although it is not as good as Tongguan, but it connects Shuofang in the north and Hedong in the east. After the wheat harvest, the thieves will definitely attack Guanzhong in a big way, except for Tongguan, which is about to face huge offensive pressure. The threat from Hedong should not be underestimated. ”

His hand crossed the Yellow River to the east, "The uprising in the counties of Hebei Province was close to failure, and Shi Siming stabilized the situation in Hebei and invaded Hedong in advance to respond to Tongguan." The old man of Geshu may not be able to help Feng Yi separately. General Qin, the burden on your body is not light!"

Qin Jin was also solemn.

"Qin Mou has been doing his best since he died!"

But I heard Yang Guozhong say earnestly: "General Qin has this intention, Yang is very relieved, but he can't live up to the sage's hard work." Now that there is a lot of criticism in Chang'an City, the sage put you in Feng Yi is actually all out of love, don't have a bad heart."

Qin Jin sneered, Yang Guozhong was afraid that the Son of Heaven would not know that he had resentment and mustard!
