Chapter 998: Jiangnan Makes Waves

Although Li Siye didn't speak, he listened to the speculation that Qin Jin and Fang Xuan said at a glance, and he also understood where the key was. Only he understood, which also made him full of disgust with Qin Jin, after all, it wasn't for the purpose of usurping power?

However, Li Siye is not like Geng Jie like Cui Lian after all, in order to be able to realize the hope of leading the troops, he must hide all his dissatisfaction deep in his heart. Otherwise, you can only become a waste person, and you will live in Chang'an City for the rest of your life.

After a while, a military official walked into the handsome hall and whispered a few words beside Qin Jin, and Qin Jin laughed when he heard it.

"There's one person, two of you who are definitely interested in meeting it!"

Fang Xuan echoed and asked:

"Dare to ask who it is?"

Qin Jin also sold Guanzi.

"Xianggong knows it at first sight!"

Soon, a middle-aged man in a cloth robe walked into the handsome hall under the guidance of the military officials.

Fang Xuan and Li Siye were both taken aback at first sight.

The person who came was Li Mi, who was also a teacher and friend with the son of heaven.

"Buyi Li Mi, meet the Imperial Doctor!"

Obviously, Li Mi noticed Fang Xuan and Li Siye at the beginning of his entry into the Shuai Hall, and he didn't expect to see these two here today, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He came this time to seek official positions, and now that there are third and fourth people, he naturally can't open his mouth.

Li Mi is not an official fan, nor is he seeking to be born and glorious, he just wants to show his strengths and do what he can for the common people. In the past, most of his thoughts around Li Heng were to assist the kings of the area, but after the ups and downs of the past few years, he has diluted this thought. Especially after the fall of Chang'an, his escape career gave birth to his desire to enter the world and save the world. It's just that no one will believe this kind of thought and thought, let alone a reason to seek official status for outsiders.

"Mr. Li, both of them know each other, and this time to escort the Son of Heaven back to Beijing, Mr. has made great contributions......"

Qin Jin said this to give Li Mi enough face, and Li Mi's embarrassment was also a little lighter, but he had to humbly deny it in his mouth.

Li Fuguo had a ghost in his heart and wanted to use the Son of Heaven as a tool for his profit, but fortunately, Pei Jiedu led his division to the north, so he saved the Son of Heaven by chance, and Li Yu was just by the side of the Son of Heaven. ”

Fang Xuan coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Sir, humble, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, how many people can accompany him to the holy car?"

People in the world are often like this, they all seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, even if they are the son of heaven, there are very few people who can follow them after falling into difficulty. Li Mi can still be by Li Heng's side when he is at the end of his life, and there are few people who can do it when he looks at the whole court.

Although these words were said to alleviate Li Mi's embarrassment, they touched the weakest part of Li Mi's heart, and his eye circles couldn't help but be a little red. After all, he has been with Li Heng for more than ten years, even if he has a stone, he can cover it, let alone a living person?

But he would never cry in front of people, so he sorted out his emotions and stabilized his mind before he said calmly:

"If it weren't for Dr. Qin leading his division back to Beijing, I'm afraid Chang'an would still be in dire straits, and it is unknown when the Son of Heaven will return to Beijing in what year and month......"

Fang Xuan and Li Mi sang and harmonized, and Li Siye was disgusted when he heard it, especially for the great changes in Li Mi, which was especially difficult to accept. He is not a person who is deep in the city, and it is difficult to completely hide the emotions in his heart, so as this emotion intensifies, the disgust on his face becomes more and more obvious.

In fact, Qin Jin had already noticed Li Siye's face, and at first he was not sure, but now he was ninety percent sure that he was hostile and disgusted with himself and the Shenwu Army.

This made Qin Jin feel a little sorry, and originally planned to let Li Siye also go to Anxi, but now it seems that this person is not of the same mind as himself, and he is only afraid that there will be complications if he leads the troops outside.

As for the purpose of Li Mi's coming here, Qin Jin also knew it, for some reason, this person had changed greatly, and Li Mi seemed to be like two people in the past, and he couldn't determine the reason for it for a while, so he planned to observe it and make a decision, but just now, an idea came up again.

asked Fang Xuan to make the sacrificial wine of Chengjunjian, and just let Li Mi serve as the secretary of Chengjunjian. Needless to say, the knowledge of the two is not to mention, and their reputation is also widely spread in the government and the opposition, although it is a bit overkill to manage a Chengjun prison, but the test always requires a good stone to be effective.

Moreover, Chengjun Jian is not just a copy of Guozijian, it undertakes the function of selecting talents and injecting fresh blood for the imperial court.

Several people discussed for a while, and Qin Jin turned to ask about the situation in Luoyang. As if he suddenly remembered something, Fang Xuan patted his head and said:

"The situation in Luoyang is okay, Hedong is still in the hands of my Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming does not dare to go south easily, however, Huainan and Jiangnan seem to have some changes. ”

"Huainan?"

The Jianghuai area is the place that Qin and Jin are most concerned about and worried about, it has not been affected by the war, and has become an absolutely important place for tax revenue, if there is a problem there, it will have an immeasurable impact on Chang'an and Luoyang.

Huainan Jiedu made Gao Shi was pulled up by Li Heng, and he was also loyal to Li Heng, Qin Jin planned to show goodwill with this person several times, but was sternly rejected by the other party, although he was not worthy of harmony, but he never dismantled the platform, this was the case when Luoyang was restored, and this was the case when Chang'an was restored. Obviously, Gao Shiqi still has a considerable view of the overall situation, but due to the difference in positions, it is difficult for the Huainan Army and the Shenwu Army to urinate in the same pot. Now that he heard that there was an abnormality in Huainan, the first thing Qin Jin thought of was Gao Shi.

"Gao Shi summoned Li Xian, the observer envoy of western Zhejiang, and Liu Zhan, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, to gather in Shouchun, and the frequent mobilization of local troops in Huainan is different from usual!"

Qin Jin frowned, thinking about the question, what kind of idea did Gao Shi have, did he want to turn his face with the Shenwu Army now?

……

"How to turn your face, Qin Jin Zhuzi holds the authority of the imperial court, and the Shenwu Army is a forbidden army, even if it raises troops, it must have enough reasons for the people of the world to be convinced, isn't it?"

Gao Shi looked at Li Xun and Liu Zhan, these two are Jianghuai people who can stand with him, their jurisdictions are all rich lands, and they naturally raise more soldiers than elsewhere, if the three of them are united, there is indeed a shorter and longer capital of the Shenwu Army.

If Jianghuai cuts off the grain supply to Luoyang and Chang'an, after this winter, before next year's summer harvest, Gyeonggi and Dugi will have to starve everywhere. No matter how powerful the Shenwu army is, if there are no people and no food, why should they win the war?

It's just that this method is not Gao Shi's wish, on the side of the Qing monarch, it is his wish to eliminate the traitors around the Son of Heaven, but if it is at the cost of sacrificing the lives of thousands of people, he feels that this price is too heavy to bear.

"Shi Siming killed An Qingxu, sooner or later he can't hold back and attack Hedong, when the time comes, the Shenwu Army will inevitably have the power to resist, this is the best time for us to raise troops on the side of the Qing Jun!"

Zhenhai Festival made Liu Zhan eager to try, he saw that Gao Shi was indecisive and couldn't make a decision for a long time, so he rubbed his hands impatiently, stood up and sat back.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little tense, Gao Shi didn't want to explain over and over again, if the time was ripe, he would not hesitate to raise the banner against Qin Jin and against the Shenwu Army. But now the Shenwu Army in Gyeonggi Province and Dugi Province is obviously deeply popular with the people, and the news brought back by the spies sent out is all depressing, and the people everywhere mention that the Shenwu Army and Qin Jin are not giving a thumbs up, saying that Qin Jin is the stars in the sky and descending to earth, specifically to save the Tang Dynasty and the world's Li Shu. Just ask, if this person's reputation is like this, if they rashly raise troops, they may be killing themselves.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Li Xun coughed dryly and said:

"Sooner or later, the army will rise, the key is when to start, whether the timing is appropriate, I believe that Gao Jie Du has also made a plan!"

His position is biased towards Gao Shi, and the most fundamental reason is that both of them are confidants sent to Jiangnan by Li Heng.

Moreover, Li Xian also has the identity of the Tang Dynasty clan, and is the great-grandson of Li Ke, the third son of Taizong, King Wu, and the title of Duke of Yue. It is precisely because of such a prominent identity and a close relationship with Li Heng that he was sent to the land of Liangzhejiang, in addition to arming and guarding against traitors going south, I am afraid that there is no lack of surveillance Gao Shi.

Li Heng was obviously overly worried, since Gao Shi arrived in Huainan, he first quelled the rebellion of Yongwang Li Yan, and then the whole army was ready to respond to the imperial court at any time and go north to recover Luoyang, but Fang Xuan's 100,000 army was defeated too suddenly, so that he did not have time to send troops. Later, Qin Jin and the Shenwu army attacked Luoyang, but the edict Gao Shi received was cautious cooperation and close monitoring.

Although it is not explicitly stated, anyone who is not a fool can understand the meaning of this. Although Qin Jin had the grace of recommending Gao Shi, what was this personal favor in front of the Son of Heaven? He could only carry out the edict of the Son of Heaven without hesitation.

Of course, at that time, the Son of Heaven had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, but the edict was absolutely true, and the seal was also true, and even the eunuchs who rushed to convey the decree said that this was the original intention of the Son of Heaven, and Gao Zheng would not have any doubts. Even if it is inferred from common sense, it is reasonable for Li Heng to distrust Qin Jin and spy on Qin Jin.

After all, if the Shenwu Army has made too many meritorious contributions, there will be an embarrassing situation of high merit and shocking the master. For example, defending Chang'an and defeating Sun Xiaozhe, Qin Jin made great contributions, but after the war, Li Heng did not reward him with a special reward, but suppressed it intentionally or unintentionally, and promoted the person who opposed him to a key position, and the distrust and suppression were already very obvious.

Therefore, Gao Shi has always maintained a very high vigilance against the Shenwu Army, and every time he closely monitors it, these actions are in line with the original intention of the Son of Heaven.

It's a pity that the current Son of Heaven is equivalent to a wasted person, and it is impossible to send an edict to Jianghuai again, and Gao Shi is hesitating about this!
