Chapter 117: Knowing that people's hearts are evil
"General Qin, do you still want to kill the enemy in front of the battle?"
Ge Shuhan got straight to the point, which made Qin Jin a little surprised. Since coming to Chang'an City, he has found that today's Chang'an is no different from the era in which he was born, and even surpasses it. In response to the sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the people in them compete for fame and profit, flies and dogs, say insincere words, and do things that harm others and benefit themselves.
Therefore, the first time Qin Jin saw someone who was straight to the point and expressed his opinions, especially when this person was still suppressing his brother Shuhan, he couldn't help but feel a little grotesque.
Ge Shuhan ignored Qin Jin's puzzled gaze and continued: "The old man will go out tomorrow with a seal, with a heavy burden on his shoulders and thin ice under his feet. If General Qin still has the intention of killing the enemy, the old man can guarantee the saint and go out with the army!"
Regardless of whether Ge Shuhan said this from the bottom of his heart or not, he praised Qin Jin solidly, which was extremely rare for Ge Shuhan. The old servants standing on the side couldn't help but secretly speak, but when he heard that the master of the family had already talked about confidential matters, he bowed down and retreated.
To tell the truth, of course Qin Jin wanted to leave the smoky Chang'an, this Chang'an was very different from the Chang'an he imagined, if he had a choice to go back in time, he would rather lead his army north to Hebei District to fight side by side with Feng Changqing.
However, now Qin Jin couldn't help himself, he knew very well that no matter how heavy Ge Shuhan's words were to the Son of Heaven, it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to let him go out of Tongguan to fight the rebels in a short period of time.
Since Ge Shuhan went straight to the point, Qin Jin was no longer vain, and sighed: "I want to lead the army out of the customs and recover the lost land when I go down." It's a pity that the Son of Heaven won't agree!"
This time it was Ge Shuhan's turn to be quite surprised, and there was a hint of the same look in his eyes. In the half of his life, he has seen many people, including shrewd and capable people, brave and unscrupulous people, and mediocre people, all of whom are trembling and cautious when talking about the Son of Heaven. And the Qin Jin in front of him, who was just a small official two months ago, why was he so calm and usual when talking about the Son of Heaven?
Ge Shuhan asked himself, now he may be able to make this kind of calm and calm color, if he is thirty years younger, I am afraid that he will not be as good as Qin Jin. How did Ge Shuhan know that the era that Qin Jin came from had long since lost the hierarchical system with strong barriers, and there was no natural awe of imperial power in Qin Jin's bones, so that he could achieve calmness and self-confidence that was difficult to have in front of the Son of Heaven or in front of the prime minister.
Sun Tzu said, "Those who have thunder in their chests and their faces are like a peaceful lake can worship the general", at this time, Ge Shuhan couldn't help but secretly admire, if this person was born twenty years earlier, there would be no one in the world who could be surpassed. What a lame man, Gao Linu, and that miscellaneous Hu'er Anre, they will be dwarfed by comparison.
At this time, Ge Shuhan suddenly remembered that Qin Jin in front of him was still a Jinshi in Tianbao's thirteenth year, and although he didn't read much, he also knew the difficulty of entering the imperial examination. He also knew the saying that was often circulated at the time, "Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi!"
In the understanding of scholars, if you pass the Ming Jing subject, you are already very old at the age of 30, and you are still young at the age of 50. It is conceivable that it is difficult to enter the priesthood. In other words, those who can enter the ranks are the dragons and phoenixes among the people.
A Jinshi is famous for his martial arts, which is rare if not unique since the Tang Dynasty. Ge Shuhan's mouth was slightly pantothenic, and he had to admit that he was capable of being a general, but if he had both military and military skills, he was indeed inferior to the young man in front of him.
Ge Shuhan sighed secretly, he is indeed old, if he is ten years younger, he is afraid that there is no one in this world who can make him willing to accept defeat except for the Son of Heaven.
It seems that the rumors are not exaggerated, Qin Jin is indeed a talented young man, and if time goes by, he may become the mainstay of Datang. Thinking of this, Ge Shuhan was a little sad, maybe he couldn't see it this day. It's not that he suddenly feels it, his body knows best, if he takes care of it well after the stroke, he may be able to live for a few more years, but after the wind and frost, he is afraid that his old bones will be left with scum.
However, what Ge Shuhan is afraid of is not that he is buried under the loess, but that his body is disabled and powerless to ruin the situation, so that half of his life will be wasted. Therefore, when the Son of Heaven was first recruited, he shirked several times.
These thoughts were just a flash of thought, Ge Shuhan looked at Qin Jin with blazing eyes, and his voice changed.
"Who said that the Son of Heaven would not allow it? Why don't you make a bet with General Qin?"
It is said that it is better to be famous than to meet, and before meeting, Ge Shuhan's impression of Qin Jin was downhill. However, at first sight, it was found that this was not a person who was good at scheming. So he happily said: "I am willing to make a bet with the old minister, if the Son of Heaven allows, go down and follow the old minister out of the customs to kill the thief!"
Unexpectedly, Ge Shuhan suddenly showed a slightly sly smile.
"The old man has written to the Son of Heaven yesterday, and the Xin'an army is still under the control of General Qin, not only that, but also to expand the army, always expand by twenty or thirty thousand people!"
Qin Jin was completely confused, Ge Shuhan's performance and deeds had always been aggressive, and he seemed to be sparing no effort to suppress him, how could he see it today, and his attitude actually took a 180-degree turn?
At the same time, the inexplicable half-cut sentence of the Son of Heaven seems to have been explained, but judging from the attitude of the Son of Heaven at that time, it is obvious that he did not allow Ge Shuhan to write a letter, otherwise it would be impossible for him to expand the Shenwu Army and be responsible for rectifying the law and order in Beijing.
However, looking at Ge Shuhan's rather smug expression, Qin Jin gave up the idea of expressing these speculations.
Then, Ge Shuhan focused on inquiring about the situation outside the Guan, and Qin Jin told in detail what he saw, knew and thought without reservation.
Ge Shuhan listened very seriously, especially when he met Cui Qianyou for the first time under Hongnong City, he kept admiring, and said that Feng Changqing had been defeated by this person several times, and it turned out that he had lost his fame.
Cui Qianyou rose to prominence in the battle to capture the eastern capital of Luoyang, and now he has become a prisoner in Chang'an City. Ge Shuhan also went to interrogate this person the day before yesterday, just like a phoenix that has fallen off the shelf, not even as good as a chicken. No matter how illustrious his record was, he is now nothing more than a prisoner who is afraid of death.
The two people, an old man and a young man, kept talking about the time when they held the lamp, Qin Jin repeatedly said goodbye, and Ge Shuhan ordered the old servant to lead him out of the house.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was impossible to go to the forbidden garden barracks, so he ordered Yiche to return to Shengyefang's home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, there was a servant who reported that Chen Qianli had been waiting for a long time.
When he heard that Qin Jin had been delayed in Geshuhan's Mansion for a whole afternoon, Chen Qianli was very surprised, hadn't Ge Shuhan been trying to suppress Qin Jin, how could he still be so courteous and talked for a whole afternoon!
However, Qin Jin's description of Ge Shuhan's first impression, Chen Qianli did not agree.
Is this old brother Shu easy to deal with?
"Do you know An Yanzong, the eldest son of An Zhenyuan, the Taifu Temple?"
Mentioning this person, Qin Jin immediately thought of An Yuanzhen, who was scolded alive by the house slaves of Geshu Mansion outside Geshu Mansion, so he sighed and said what he saw during the day, and there was no sympathy between his words, An Yuanzhen will become the laughing stock of Chang'an officialdom from now on, and he was scolded and fainted by other house slaves, which is really a great shame.
Chen Qianli warned Qin Jin with a straight face.
"If you have such a domestic slave, you must not stay in the house, otherwise sooner or later it will lead to disaster. ”
Chen Qianli's ill feelings towards Ge Shuhan are beyond words, and it is really hateful to connive at the house slaves to humiliate the court officials.
An Yuanzhen opened his face to visit Ge Shuhan, it should be for his eldest son An Yanzong. ”
It turned out that An Yanzong was under the shadow of his father's family, and he was also quite talented, and in just ten years, he was only in his early thirties, and he had been promoted to the county magistrate of Wannian County in Chang'an. This county order can be by no means an ordinary county order, Wannian County is one of the seven major counties in the country, and the county order is ranked as the top five grades, which is a rare prominent official position.
However, because this year's rent is not as good as half of last year's rent, he was reprimanded by Ge Shuhan, who had just visited the prime minister. This kind of thing is not a big sin in the first place, it is nothing more than an ugly point in the performance appraisal, which may leave an obstacle to future promotion. However, it was unfortunate that the county lieutenant in charge of the Gonghu Warehouse in Wannian County privately diverted the grain stored in the county treasury and resold it outside the customs because of this.
After the performance appraisal officer sent by Geshuhan to Wannian County found out about the incident, he did not dare to delay and immediately reported it. Ge Shuhan suddenly used a spicy hand, and all the officials involved in the case, including An Yanzong, the commander of Wannian County, were imprisoned, tortured and interrogated, and finally convicted of collaborating with the enemy.
Once convicted of collaborating with the enemy, although it will not be possible to sit with his family, An Yanzong himself may be beheaded for public as the main culprit.
Unfortunately, An Yuanzhen's two sons and three sons all died early, and the eldest son An Yanzong became the de facto only son.
"That An Yanzong has always kept to himself, and no one with a clear eye can see that this is a clear frame-up, not that Ge Shuhan and An Sishun are at odds, hoping to take revenge on ......"
Chen Qianli exposed a news that shocked Qin Jin very much.
One of Yang Guozhong's nephews is also said to have been implicated in the case and has been sentenced to beheading. ”
In addition, he directly warned Qin Jin to keep his distance from Ge Shuhan, otherwise he would provoke a group of enemies who had nothing to do with him.
Qin Jin sighed, even if he wanted to divide in peace, the Son of Heaven would not give him a chance, rectify the law and order in Chang'an, and there would be no fewer people to offend.
Then, Qin Jin remembered that Chen Qianli had been waiting for him until it was dark, there must be something important.
Sure enough, Chen Qianli brought a piece of news that could be said to be expected and shocking.
It is said that Cui Anguo inadvertently confided in prison and committed an assassination case, and Yang Guozhong was involved in it. ”
