Chapter 658: Left Pick-up as General
Li Heng fainted suddenly, and both Li Fuguo and Cui Jian immediately panicked. After a long period www.biquge.info of busy work, they heard Li Heng let out a long cry of pain, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was fine.
The Son of Heaven's health is important, and it is even more urgent to deal with the news brought back by Li Xian.
The cushion brought by Li Fuguo let Li Heng lean on, and then ordered someone to hurry up to serve the tonic decoction made by the imperial doctor. The eunuchs were in a hurry for a while, but Cui Lian couldn't wait.
"Your Majesty, now that Li Lan is opposed, the imperial court should immediately requisition a large army to exterminate it, otherwise, otherwise......
After the word "otherwise", it was difficult for Cui Lian to continue, he was worried that once Li Luan lost his heart and became angry with An Lushan, the situation in the imperial court would be really difficult to clean up. After all, the four roads south of the Yangtze River are the land of grain, rice and wealth in the world, and if the imperial court loses the echo there, the rebellion can only be far away.
Such an inference is too terrifying, Cui Jian is afraid that after he tells the truth, Li Heng will be stimulated again and faint, so he is a little hesitant. However, Li Heng's brain was obviously not very clear after he came to his senses, and he asked weakly and eagerly:
"Otherwise, otherwise what?"
In fact, in terms of Li Heng's ability, it is easy to see through the crisis, but it is a pity that he is now in a state of confusion, and it is difficult for him to think calmly.
Cui Jian no longer hesitated, and replied bluntly:
"Li Lan is weak in the confluence of thieves, and the Tang army is in danger!"
The Tang Jun in his mouth refers to Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan led more than 100,000 elites of the imperial court out of the customs, and was originally determined to win Luoyang, but now there is a sudden accident of Li Xuan's rebellion. 、
Li Fuguo saw that Cui Lian kept saying that he wanted to send troops to exterminate Li Luan, so he sneered and sneered:
"Didn't Cui Xianggong defend Li Ling yesterday? Why did his face change faster today than in June?"
Cui Jian was already disdainful of Li Fuguo, but now seeing that he still cares about personal grievances at such a time, he doesn't give him face at all, and reprimands him to his face:
"Cui Mou is determined to seek the country, he is calm about right and wrong, and he is willing to bear the merits and demerits on his shoulders, so why do you need to supervise the beak inside?"
"You!"
Li Fuguo was speechless when he was scolded by Cui Lian. He now worships the general of the left guard, but all officials must be honored as generals when they see them. But Cui Jian actually denounced him as an internal supervisor in person, which was to warn him about his identity as a eunuch and not to mix with military affairs!
However, Cui Jian also said that whether the merit or demerit will be borne on one shoulder, there is nothing to take the credit, but many Tang officials dare not take the initiative to bear the fault.
Because as long as you bear the fault, it is likely that the future of this life will come to an abrupt end. Therefore, it has become a norm to entrust others, or abandon the car to protect the handsome.
"Your Majesty, Gao Shi begs to see you!"
A eunuch entered the temple. Gao Shi was deeply liked by Li Heng yesterday, and was exceptionally granted the privilege of entering the palace at will during the day to ask for a meeting.
Now that the hall had become a mess, the eunuch's voice was quickly drowned out and ignored. However, Li Heng was meditating for a while, and suddenly said:
"Xuan Gao Shi enters the palace!"
Li Fuguo finally grasped Cui Lian's handle, and fought back sharply:
"Since Cui Xianggong dares to take it, then Li also has to ask bluntly, yesterday he kept saying that Dr. Qin framed the vassal king, does this count as framing his colleagues?"
Unexpectedly, Cui Lian didn't seem to care, and slammed Li Hengchang to the ground who was paralyzed.
"Your Majesty, if the minister is not aware of it, he is not aware of the crime, and he is willing to resign from his post today!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Heng, but even Li Fuguo was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this old guy was so strong, compared to the person who was silent before.
Of course, Li Heng didn't want Cui Jian to resign, although this person had prejudices against Qin Jin, but in his bones he was loyal to the country. If he was driven back to his hometown because of this mistake, wouldn't it chill the loyal ministers of the world?
"Imperial Doctor Qin Jin, meet the Son of Heaven!"
Suddenly, another eunuch shouted outside.
At this moment when the quarrel became a pot of porridge, Qin Jin actually arrived. Qin Jin's treatment was even better than Gao Shi. He could go directly to the temple without going through the courtesy.
Soon, Qin Jin and Gao Shi entered the hall almost at the same time.
"The two Aiqing came just in time, they both came to see the details, how to deal with Li Lan's rebellion!"
"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Cui Xianggong's suggestion to immediately send troops to exterminate Li Lan's rebels, otherwise it will have an extremely adverse impact on Fang Xianggong's Eastern Expeditionary Army. ”
When he was at the entrance of the hall, he had already heard the quarrel inside, and Cui Lian was full of anger, and his voice was clearly transmitted outside.
Li Heng couldn't help but be stunned and asked:
"Send troops, where is there still troops in the imperial court?"
Now there are only two troops and horses in Guanzhong, the Shenwu Army and the Left Guard Army, and the Shenwu Army has no more than 20,000 soldiers, which is to be ready to respond to Fang Xuan's Eastern Expedition at any time. Tongguan has Pei Jing's 30,000 horses, but Tongguan is related to the life and death of Sanfu, and the troops cannot be easily mobilized. As for the new army composed of the Left Guards and those gentlemen, Li Heng was not sure whether they had qualified combat effectiveness, not to mention, Guanzhong must also have enough soldiers and horses to sit in case of emergency.
All in all, Li Heng couldn't find a large army that could be sent to Gangneung to quell the rebellion.
"It is said that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but I have reached this point today, so how can I quell the chaos?"
Li Fuguo immediately rolled his eyes and suggested:
'Your Majesty, it's better to use the Shenwu Army to crusade against Li Luan!'
Cui Jian immediately confronted each other:
"There are not many Shenwu soldiers and horses, and most of the soldiers are in charge of Guanzhong Hedong, and the victory or defeat of going to Jiangnan is unknown!"
Li Fuguo's eyelids were raised, and he was about to further argue with Cui Lian.
Qin Jin suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, if you recommend one person, you can get 100,000 elites!"
Li Fuguo and Cui Lian were stunned, this Qin Jin was really speechless. Only Li Heng's eyes were happy, he knew that Qin Jin had never said empty words, and even yesterday, everyone was not optimistic about his inference, and the final result did not confirm his foresight?
"Who Qin Qing recommends, tell me quickly!"
Qin Jin said calmly:
"This person is also in the palace, it is Gao Shi!"
Gao shi?
Everyone was amazed. Gao Shi was just an inconsequential petty official like Zuo Shizhi before, and he had never shown his extraordinary talent, how could he become an immortal talent worthy of 100,000 elites in Qin Jin's mouth?
When Li Heng heard Gao Shi's name, he was stunned for a while, and then his eyes turned to Gao Shi who was standing behind Qin Jin. As soon as he thought that Gao Shi was recommended by Qin Jin, he knew in his heart that Qin Jin must have known Gao Shi's talent a long time ago.
Unlike Li Heng, Cui Jian is more of a different look at Qin Jin. Although Gao Shi was recommended by Qin Jin, his words and deeds drew a clear line with him everywhere, which is another important reason why Cui Lian admires him. Being able to be fearless and not flattering is the basic quality that a qualified official should have.
With Qin Jinzhi's shrewdness, he could naturally see Gao Shi's attitude towards him, but he still strongly recommended Gao Shi, which made Cui Jian a little incomprehensible. Based on Cui Lian's understanding of Qin Jin, this kind of person has gathered a small circle around him, and the party is the same as the other, which is a standard traitor configuration. It stands to reason that since Gao Shi is unwilling to take refuge, in exchange for a blow that should spare no effort!
In addition, there is another point that also makes Cui Chuan secretly frightened. Although he is very optimistic about Gao Shi's personality, and after some conversation, he can feel this person's talent, but there is no way to say that he can be 100,000 elites on such a certain basis.
What Qin Jin said today is either an exaggeration, or he is really discerning!
As for which kind Qin Jin belongs to, Cui Jian is also confused, and he can't see for sure. This is already an extremely rare situation for Cui Lian, who has been a eunuch for decades. Since he couldn't see Qin Jin's intentions clearly, he didn't rush to make a statement, he only narrowed his eyes and quietly waited for Qin Jin to say the follow-up content.
"Your Majesty, Li Lan's rebellion is not justified. His Majesty only needs to go to Jiangnan with the edict of the Son of Heaven to inform the officials and the people, and the rebels can be dissolved. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
Li Fuguo didn't expect Qin Jin's suggestion to use an edict to quell the chaos, and he felt that it was really a bit unbelievable, but Cui Jian fell into deep thought, and suddenly said:
"Li Lan has the soldiers of Jiangling, and he has accumulated a mountain of grain, can he be subdued by just a piece of edict?"
Qin Jin Dao:
"Of course not, this needs to be both suppressed and appeased!"
In the final analysis, it is not necessary to use swords and soldiers, but the imperial court has no extra troops to send to Jiangnan. Besides, this trip is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and the road from Tongguan to Luoyang along the south of the Grand Canal has long been cut off.
Cui Jian questioned again:
"There are no soldiers in the imperial court, how to suppress and appease!"
Qin Jin smiled and replied calmly:
"Didn't you say it earlier? Gao Shi alone can reach 100,000 elite soldiers!"
Under Qin Jin's deliberate guidance, everyone's eyes were cast on Gao Shi.
Li Fuguo actually forgot to embarrass Cui Jian for the time being, and asked anxiously:
"Gao Shizhi? One person should be 100,000 soldiers?"
Called the focus of attention, Gao Shi was a little uncomfortable, so he had to say in a deep voice:
"Doctor Qin praised falsely, and privately speculated, the doctor's intention was to order the ministers to hold the Son of Heaven Fu Festival and rush to Lianghuai to collect local soldiers and horses......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly felt that it was too risky to do so? Who knows whether the local officials have their hearts set on Chang'an or Jiangling! It can be said that everything on the way here is unknown, and only those who have the courage and wisdom can be up to this heavy task.
Li Heng turned his head and looked at Qin Jin with an inquiring gaze.
Qin Jin immediately gave him a positive answer.
As long as His Majesty's edict arrives, the local officials, soldiers and people will inevitably stand on the side of the imperial court, Li Luan's rebel army seems to be strong, but as long as it is dealt with properly, it is not enough to bring disaster to Jiangnan!"
This is the inference he came up with after a night of deliberation!
