Chapter 260: The Envoy Resignation
Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Ji and the official Langzhong Du Fu came together, but Qin Jin had already learned that these two people had suffered difficulties in the new round of election, and they had become backups, in other words, they were excluded and suppressed. And the person who excluded them was naturally Yang Guozhong, who had recently returned to the political hall strongly.
With Qin Jin's understanding of these two people, Du Fu has a good temper and doesn't know how to be flexible, and it is not surprising that he was excluded, but Wei Ji is cautious and tactful, and he has a family background, how can he also be excluded?
After meeting, Wei Ji and Du Fu sat down separately, and the two of them stared at each other for a while, and they seemed to be a little speechless. Finally, Du Fu sighed.
"General Qin, Brother Wei and I are ready to go to Feng Yi together, Chang'an is full of miasma, attacking each other and restricting Russia, it is better to go to the army, and do what we can for the imperial court!"
But Qin Jin is still strange, at the time of the mutiny, these two people had automatically kept a considerable distance from him, obviously they didn't want to have anything to do with the Shenwu Army anymore, and now why did they suddenly get close and show goodwill?
Wei Ji smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Brother Zimei is willing to gamble and lose, General Qin has always been loyal to the country and took the initiative to release it, which is an unprecedented move, so that the two of them are full of admiration and are determined to follow left and right. ”
Du Fu smiled calmly.
"I thought that General Qin was no different from those who fought for power and profit, but the day before yesterday, I learned that the general took the initiative to give up everything in Chang'an and went to the army to fight the rebels, because Du Fu was narrow-minded!"
The words of the two people clearly explained the root cause of their change of attitude, or their initiative to seek to win favor and trust again.
In fact, Qin Jin's situation in Chang'an at this moment has completely entered a dead end, the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, the suppression of the ministers, and the constraints and plots everywhere, it is difficult to make a difference. If you want to break the deadlock, you can only invite yourself to go out.
However, Qin Jin's reason for inviting himself out was also a big surprise to everyone. If it were someone else, he would inevitably say some righteous and awe-inspiring words in a high-sounding manner, but Qin Jin took retreat as advance, claiming that he had made a mistake in neglecting his duties in the previous chaos, resigned as a general, and asked to be released from Beijing.
Li Longji has long been not a newcomer, he knows this kind of edict of retreat as advance, at first he didn't think this was Qin Jin's sincere move, so he twice offered condolences, but Qin Jin insisted on it, and the sincerity of his attitude surprised him. After the drama of three invitations and three evidences was completed, Qin Jin still asked for self-punishment and went out, and Li Longji realized that Qin Jin really didn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore.
No matter what kind of mind Qin Jin chose to retreat bravely, this was an absolutely unexpected surprise for Li Longji. He was cautiously jealous of the tiger on the side of the couch every day, and he couldn't turn his face immediately because of the current situation.
It's just that where to arrange Qin Jin is a big problem. The arrangement is far away from the Jingshi, and it may lose control over this person, and the arrangement is too close, and there is still a hidden worry that the tiger is on the side.
It happened that Pujin's urgent army reported to the Beijing Division, and Li Longji immediately made a decision, after all, he was a generation of "Ming Lords" who let the Qin and Jin people make the best use of their talents, and it was not in vain to use this person.
As a result, the release of Qin Jin was also finalized. However, in terms of Qin Jin's official transfer, Li Longji was still abnormal, and did not praise and give preferential treatment, but really removed him from the post of general and changed his official to Feng Yijun Taishou. At the same time, the Shenwu army went to Pujin, and Qin Jin only continued to control it with the dispatch of supervising the military.
Outsiders don't know about these games between monarchs and ministers, but it seems that Qin Jin took the initiative to ask for guilt and go out, and his notoriety in exchange for changing sides twice during the mutiny has also diminished slightly.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Ji and Du Fu came to Qin Jin again.
Although Yang Guozhong was embarrassed by the selection, it was difficult for a long time. Besides, when Qin went to Feng Yijun, he was just a Taishou, where would he have the extra ability to properly settle the two?"
Du Fu replied briskly: "As long as you can do something practical for the court and the people, please let these flies and dogs, and go down to receive the order of a county, which is enough!"
Wei Ji also hurriedly got up and agreed, "It's the same with going down!"
In fact, what Qin Jin said before meant that his pool was shallow, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fit a big fish, if he let the missing Shangshu Zuo Cheng and the official Langzhong go to Feng Yijun, no matter which position he was in, even if it was the post of the assistant chief of the Taishou, it would be a grievance.
And now the two of them are expressing their hearts directly, which makes Qin Jin quite moved, and he also feels a trace of warmth.
After all, the officials in the DPRK and China are not all selfish and selfish people who strive for power and profit, and there are also such people who do not care about fame and fortune for the sake of their family and country.
However, neither of them had ever dealt with the rebels, and they heard that the Yellow River was in danger of breaking off this year, and the rebels were also eyeing the possibility of storming Pujin at any time.
"Pujin is not as good as Tongguan, because there is a shield in the east of the river, and it is separated by a Yellow River, so there are not many people and horses stationed in it, and the defense has been lax for many years, since the general wants to go to Feng Yi, he must take precautions......"
Qin Jin laughed, only reassuring Wei Ji and Du Fu to go home as soon as possible to prepare, and it was time to leave in seven days. He knew that among these two people, especially Du Fu, unlike a bachelor like him, it was not easy for him to settle properly.
After the two left, Zheng Xianli, who had been on Qin Jin's side, picked up the topic of Wei Du and the others again.
"If the Yellow River is cut off and the rebels are overwhelmed, it will be difficult for the Shenwu army alone to resist ......"
Zheng Xianli's worries are not wrong, Pujin is not as good as Xin'an, nor is it better than Shaanzhou, and he can give up after he can't beat the wall. Feng Yi County, where Pujin is located, is one of the three assistants in Guanzhong, and its status is second only to Chang'an, which must not be given up. If the rebels bypassed Tongguan and crossed the Yellow River, which was cut off from flow and lacked water through Hedong, once Pujin was lost, Feng Yi would not be protected, and Feng Yi would not be protected, and Guanzhong would be in danger.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jin smiled mysteriously.
"The way of using troops lies in the truth and falsehood, the false and the real, and the same is true of this political dispute. ”
Although what he said was very vague, it made Zheng Xianli's eyes light up, and he seemed to realize something in Qin Jin's words.
"Is it all fake?"
Zheng Xianli really couldn't believe how Qin Jin could hide it.
"It is true that the Yellow River is short of water and cut off, but the rebels attacking and disturbing the east of the river can be true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false......"
Qin Jin rarely sold Guanzi, which made Zheng Xianli very uncomfortable, what could not be said directly, but he also knew Qin Jin's character, so he no longer continued to ask, as long as he knew that there was Qin Jin's operation behind this matter, he would be relieved.
However, then Qin Jin expressed his worries.
"This year, there is a great drought in Guanzhong and Shandong, and there has not been a drop of rain since the beginning of spring, so I am afraid that there will be no harvest of grain. ”
"Now is the time for the wheat harvest, I heard that the harvest in the fields in Guanzhong is indeed not good, and the grains are too worried!"
"Hopefully, our worst enemy is not the rebels, but the thief God and his own people. ”
Qin Jin said his worries in a deep voice, and his previous confidence and calmness were also hidden under this melancholy. Zheng Xianli rarely saw Qin Jin like this, so he relieved and said: "The wind and waves have broken through, and the boat will naturally ...... straight when it reaches the bridge."
"The sage's edict is to spread that Feng Yijun is too guarded by Qin Jin to enter the palace to face the saint!"
The eunuch's sharp voice suddenly sounded outside, and his tone was cold and unpolite.
Yesterday, the edict of the Son of Heaven was issued, and Qin Jin officially went out to serve as the Taishou, which in the eyes of everyone in Chang'an, this is no different from degrading officials and exile, so they are also very disdainful of this young general who does "stupid things".
As the voice landed, a eunuch appeared at the door. Only then did Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli get up to greet each other.
"Qin envoy Jun quickly follow a certain person into the palace to face the saint, the saint is in a hurry!"
The eunuch was in a hurry, so Qin Jin made a little preparation, and hurried to Xingqing Palace with him.
After entering Xingqing Palace, he did not go to the palace where the Son of Heaven was usually located as before, but went to the Qinzheng Building. In the Qinzheng Building, in addition to the Son of Heaven, there were two important ministers present, one was Yang Guozhong, who returned to the political hall, and the other was Gao Xianzhi, the secretary of the Chinese book.
Although Gao Xianzhi's injury has not healed, he is better than the system, and after a few days of recuperation, he can miraculously be able to walk on the ground.
Since Li Longji summoned two important ministers to discuss the matter, it must not be an ordinary thing, Qin Jin couldn't help but secretly guess what Li Longji was planning.
Yang Guozhong's face was not surprised or happy, and he didn't even raise his eyelids, and his demeanor was full of disdain for Qin Jin. Gao Xianzhi's face was pale, and he only bowed his head slightly politely, which was considered to have been greeted, but his expression was also cold, and he had the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Qin Jin's actions, in the eyes of many ministers, are no different from speculative traitorous ministers, especially Gao Xianzhi, who was involved in the mutiny, and he felt the same way.
However, Qin Jin did not feel resentment towards Gao Xianzhi because of this, on the contrary, the gaze he cast over was full of sympathy.
Don't look at Gao Xianzhi now, it seems that he is highly used by the Son of Heaven, and he has become the head of the prime minister, and he is a very popular minister. But what awaits him will be countless dark arrows and cold arrows.
Qin Jincai didn't believe that Li Longji would give up his past prejudices and reuse this important minister who was in and out of the prime minister with all his physical and mental trust. and Yang Guozhong, who is not willing to be lonely, will definitely do everything possible to pull Gao Xianzhi off the horse and monopolize the power of the political hall.
Moreover, after Gao Lishi fell ill, Yu Chaoen, the top-notch among the eunuchs, mastered the military power of the Shence Army again, and the situation of this Beijing division was like a pool of bottomless mud. In the open and secret fighting, self-protection is still stretched, let alone wanting to make a difference.
"Qin Qing came just in time, I chose a prison soldier for the Shenwu Army, you can meet first today!"
