At this time, someone noticed that the two key people left behind by the Shenwu Army were not there, General Tanaka Lang and a county commander with the surname Zhang. The county order surnamed Zhang is simple to teach, it was the county order of Liyang before, and he took this opportunity to get into Qin Jin, and he was about to soar. And the general Tanaka Lang, it is said that he was a general under An Lushan, and in the first year of Germany, Chang'an Guard took refuge in Qin Jin during the war, but he has always been an unknown little captain. It should be that he made great contributions when he recovered Luoyang, so he could assume such an important role.

"Everyone, look for it, and see if there is General Tanaka Lang and that Zhang County Commander on the left and right?"

I don't know who said it first, and all the officials began to look around, but they couldn't find the shadows of these two people. The lively mind has already understood that Qin Jin must have avoided the hundred officials and made a detour to return to Chang'an.

The leader of the Shenwu Army's cavalry was an extremely strong Hu man, and many people knew him, it was Wu Hu Huaizhong, the captain of the guard army next to Qin Jin.

"You don't have to wait here, Doctor Qin has already returned to Chang'an first......"

As soon as these words came out, they attracted the whispers of hundreds of officials, and many people were disappointed, and they felt that this Qin Jin was really an unusual person, and it must be difficult to get along.

Among them, the most apprehensive is Li Chenghong, he has done enough work to perform in front of Qin Jin, and he has shown his face, Tsing Yi Ge scarf, who would have thought that people would not even see each other, so he took a detour back to Chang'an.

Li Chenghong looked at Du Qianyun beside him worriedly.

"Didn't Mr. Du say that Tsing Yi Ge Scarf can make Doctor Qin feel pity for me? But now I can't even see Doctor Qin's face......

Du Qianyun looked like an old god, which made Li Chenghong feel at ease.

"Your Majesty is relieved to be ......"

His Majesty was so frightened that Li Chenghong waved his hand again and again.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, sir, don't call me that in the future......"

Du Qianyun ignored it and continued:

"It's not a secret, Doctor Qin is already in Chang'an at this time, and the reason why he avoided the hundred officials is not to deliberately target His Majesty......"

Seeing that Li Chenghong was about to wave his hand to stop it, he preemptively smiled and said:

"As long as Your Majesty has not announced his abdication, he will naturally still be the son of heaven of my Tang Dynasty, and it is his duty to be a courtier to be commensurate with His Majesty. But ......"

At this point, Du Qianyun turned around again: "But when Your Majesty abdicates, there must be a special statement, which is the most beneficial to Doctor Qin!"

"It's all up to Mr. to arrange, it's all up to Mr. to arrange!"

Now Li Chenghong has regarded Du Qianyun as the only life-saving straw, and he is willing to do anything, as long as he can save his life.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, early tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will issue an edict of abdication, just ...... But it cannot be called in the name of the edict, in other words, it can neither be called abdication nor Zen position......"

Du Qianyun's words made Li Chenghong more and more confused, neither abdication nor Zen position, is it possible to continue to rely on the throne with a hot ass?

"Your Majesty, please take a step to speak. ”

Du Qianyun pulled Li Chenghong away from Baiguan a little farther away, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty has never ascended the throne, so how can he abdicate and Zen?"

"This, this ......"

In Li Chenghong's view, he obviously passed the succession ceremony under the hostage of the Tubo people, even if he opened his eyes and said nonsense and denied it, the officials may not admit it.

"Only if Your Majesty has never ascended the throne, can Doctor Qin have enough reasons to protect Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, as long as the gentleman says, I will obey everything. ”

Then, Li Chenghong lowered his voice again and asked with some hesitation:

"Does Doctor Qin already have a new monarch of his choice?"

Du Qianyun did not hide it, and replied calmly:

"The specific candidate has not yet been determined, but it must always be selected from the heirs of the Son of Virtue, so His Majesty must insist that he has never ascended the throne as emperor, and only says that he will take charge of the government in the name of the prison country. Tomorrow, he will announce to the courtiers and officials that he will return the state government to ......"

At this point, Li Chenghong has understood it, and his uneasy mood has gradually eased.

"Let's go, let's go, since Doctor Qin has returned to the city, what are we still doing here?" Go back, it's all scattered, it's all scattered......

The officials were in a mess, left the long pavilion, and returned to Chang'an by car and horse.

Followed by Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this Xia Shangshu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the attitude and appearance of the officials.

"When did the officials of Datang become this Dexin!"

……

Just when the hundred officials returned to Chang'an, Qin Jin had already returned to the Dashuai Festival Hall of the Shenwu Army in the north of Chang'an City, accompanied by Tian Chengsi and Zhang Jie.

"The officials all went to the long pavilion in the west of the city diligently, let them pounce on the air, these wall grasses without a stand, no matter which king's flag is hung at the head of the city, they only need to change the court to still enjoy the glory and wealth, and if the Tang Dynasty is going to die, it will have to die in the hands of these wine bags and rice bags!"

Tian Chengsi has never been an open-mouthed person, and the reason why he is saying it so harshly now is because he sees Qin Jin's dislike of these civil and military officials. However, Zhang Jie didn't know Qin Jin, and seeing that Tian Chengsi said it so explicitly, he couldn't help but sweat for him, for fear that Qin Jin would blame him.

Qin Jin's attitude really did not exceed Tian Chengsi's expectations, and he only heard him sneer twice:

"Indiscriminate killing of innocents is not what the Shenwu Army should do, it is said that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if these wall grasses are killed, who else can the Tang Dynasty rely on to govern the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains......?

Zhang Jie was already stunned, didn't know how to answer, and even wanted to disappear immediately, such accusations against the government were unheard of.

Qin Jin glanced at Zhang Jie, who was covered in cold sweat and pale in complexion, then walked over and patted him on the shoulder twice.

"Zhang County's order has made a lot of contributions this time, and he can go to the ministry to take charge of Langzhong's errands, and specialize in examining merit and sealing the shadow. ”

Zhang Jie finally reacted, and when he hit the ground.

"The subordinates are grateful to Dr. Qin, and they will definitely do their best to live up to their expectations!"

The rank of the official Lang is the fifth grade, and he is already a fish leaping into the dragon gate in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, and since then he has no longer been responsible for conscription, and has stepped into the sequence of high-ranking officials with one foot.

Although it was much lower than the expected promotion, but let him specialize in the examination of merit and sealing, but it was an extremely important dispatch, with the backer of Doctor Qin, even the squire in the ministry had to deign to ask him for advice.

In just one night, it feels great to have jumped from a small Liyang County Order to a regular official on the fifth grade.

Of course, Zhang Jie didn't just care about being proud, but immediately asked Qin Jin for advice, what should be the standard, and be responsible for the examination of merit and sealing.

Qin Jin replied almost without thinking:

"According to the canon, it is to handle it impartially!"

"Yes, the subordinate understands!"

He said that he understood, but he was very suspicious in his heart, but when he saw Tian Chenghe's comprehension and understanding, he made up his mind that he would have to ask him for advice in a while.

At this moment, Du Ganyun rushed back, begging for water from Qin Jin on the one hand, and telling about the appearance of the hundred officials and sentient beings in the Changting Pavilion in the west of the city.

"I've been standing dry since sunrise, and for three hours, my thirsty throat is about to smoke!"

A servant in the army had already brought a tea that had been dried, placed it on the table in front of you, and poured it full.

After pouring two large bowls of herbal tea, Du Qianyun said again:

"Li Chenghong has promised that he will announce the return of the state government tomorrow, and the doctor will decide on the candidate for the new son of heaven as soon as possible, so as to save a long delay in causing extraneous branches......"

Zhang Jie was holding the tea bowl, and half of the unswallowed tea almost squirted out, but he swallowed it back with all kinds of restraint.

Just talking about the hundred officials has already shocked him, and now he is talking about the abolition of the establishment, just like casually talking about the short things in the family, and he feels that today is really worth the trip.

"The abolition of the establishment must not be sloppy, wait and see, always let the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods jump out, so that we can distinguish who is the most suitable. However, the rumor must be released first, and the new monarch will be among the heirs of the Son of Heaven......"

After two more sips of tea, Zhang Jie suddenly thought of an extremely important question, hesitated again and again, and felt that Dr. Qin did not avoid talking about these things to himself, but gave enough trust, so he interjected:

"The life and death of the Son of Heaven is not yet known, in case, in case ......"

As soon as these words came out, I saw a strange smile on Du Qianyun's face.

"The Son of Heaven is in Lingwu at this time, he can't speak, he can't act, how can he calm the world and help Sheji?"

Zhang Jie was shocked again, but after experiencing too much horror today, he was not so surprised.

"Since the Son of Heaven is in Lingwu, before the new Son of Heaven succeeds to the throne, he must not be taken back to Chang'an......!

Qin Jin nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't agree with Zhang Jie's statement.

"Chang'an has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there is no news that can be blocked, so there is no need to blockade it, and it is directly announced to the hundred officials that the Son of Heaven is in Lingwu. ”

Du Qianyun high-fived and said:

"What the doctor said is very true, at that time, you only need to issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven and select the crown prince, and you will kill two birds with one stone!"

……

Early the next morning, Li Chenghong really announced to the hundred officials that he would return the state administration and no longer perform his responsibilities of supervising the state. After learning the news, the hundred officials were in an uproar, and many people were indignant, and Zhang Luo organized to reveal Li Chenghong's true face to Qin Jin.

However, Qin Jin quickly accepted Li Chenghong's statement and did not make too much trouble for him, and the sensitive-minded person quickly understood that Qin Jin had no intention of dealing with Li Chenghong at all, and it was even very likely that he would be sheltered by this person. Therefore, the sound of shouting and shouting to kill Li Chenghong became without a trace in just half a day.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Jin issued an edict of the Son of Heaven to the hundred officials, and in the next seven days, the virtuous ones will be selected among the heirs of the most virtuous Son of Heaven, and those who stand out will be made the crown prince. At the same time, the edict also explained some of the things that the officials were eager to know......
