Chapter 323: Breaking the Emperor's Back Road

"If you die, you still have to kill!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin's eyebrows raised twice, in the past, he only knew that the soldiers under Huangfu Ke's command were all strictly disciplined, why did he behave so abnormally recently?

"The murderer will pay for his life, and the rest of the people will also be punished severely!"

Qin Jin changed his mind, originally he just wanted to deal with it according to the law, but now it seems that things are not as they seem, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Is it guaranteed that this will anger Huang Fu Ke, in case, in case he votes for the thief again?" It is said that Huang Fu Ke entertained the thief's messenger with delicious food and drink......

Du Fu worriedly persuaded Qin Jin, he thought that it would be enough to deal with it on the surface and have a reasonable explanation for all parties. Because maintaining the status quo is the most important thing at this point. Could Qin Jin be a little impulsive to do this?

"Brother Zimei is too cowardly, don't you think that this is Huangfu Ke testing us?"

"Temptation?"

Du Fu looked at Qin Jin with a confused expression, not understanding what Huang Fu Ke wanted to use such a boring method to test them?

"Yes, I'm testing the bottom line of the Shenwu Army! Huangfu Ke is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although he doesn't have a good impression of the thief, he may not have a good impression of the Shenwu Army, in the final analysis, the only thing that threatens the two armies is to agree to 'send' food every month. ”

Seeing that the day of the second "grain delivery" was approaching, Huang Fu Ke suddenly uncharacteristically instigated his subordinates to make trouble in Tongzhou City, naturally wanting to provoke Qin Jin, and then Qin Jin punished him heavily in anger, and Huang Fu Ke could take the opportunity to turn his face with him as bargaining capital.

After listening to Qin Jin's analysis, Du Fu stomped his feet and said, "Since the envoy knows that this is Huang Fu Ke's conspiracy, why did he deliberately take the bait?"

Qin Jin turned to sneer.

"Qin Mou is going to enter the emperor's house, that is, to let him turn his face, and see how he can turn it back after his face is turned over!"

Du Fu was shocked, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Qin Jin's gourd, but there was always an ominous premonition that was about to be squeezed out of his mind at all times.

"Could it be that the envoy wants to go to war?"

Now what Du Fu is most afraid of is that Qin Jin is dissatisfied with the status quo of the stalemate between the two armies and rashly starts a war. In fact, in Du Fu's view, maintaining the status quo is the wisest choice, Huangfu Ke is not strong, and he has no desire to rebel, the reason for the rebellion is still caused by the trickery of the traitor Cui Liang, as long as it takes time not to worry about this person returning to the court again. However, if there is a war, and the two sides fight fiercely together, it will be difficult to talk calmly.

Moreover, as long as there is a war, it will not be the people who will suffer in the end? At that time, the dreamy and prosperous scene of Feng Yijun will really become a flash in the pan.

Therefore, Du Fu felt that it was necessary for him to prevent Qin Jin from going to war no matter what.

"Let you not start a war lightly, the war will be chaotic, and the good situation of Feng Yijun will be ruined. ”

Due to his excitement, Du Fu's voice unconsciously raised, and the people turned back at the old and the young and the young.

The people saw clearly that the strange fish turned out to be dressed in cloth, and they couldn't help laughing at them.

"Do you want to set up a stage to sing on the pork stall? Where did the envoy come from, the Ming Mansion ......?"

"That's it, that's it, so that Junming Mansion can come to eat pork? I also said that the Son of Heaven came in person......"

In the eyes of everyone full of contempt and ridicule, Qin Jin and Du Fu fled after paying the bill, since they were regarded as monsters, they naturally lost a relatively peaceful environment to discuss military and political issues.

Qin Jin did not explain the specific reason to Du Fu, but only explained that he had to deal with those troublemakers seriously, and none of them could be spared.

On the same day, three bloody heads were hung on the flagpole at the east gate of Tongzhou City, and a notice was posted under them, and the three thieves beat the people to death in the street, and the heads were executed to set an example. As for the remaining accomplices, after being whipped, they were all put in prison and imprisoned to death!

Du Fu originally wanted to be locked up for a while and then released, but Qin Jin thought that sparing the lives of these people was already merciful, and he must no longer be soft, so he put forward this proposal to imprison them to death. All in all, these people will spend the rest of their lives in prison even if they don't die.

Early the next morning, Lu Qi and Pei Jing begged to see Qin Jin. Qin Jin was uncharacteristically and met with Pei Jing, who was cast and scattered.

Pei Jing was on the way to the back hall under the guidance of the county guard's office, and his heart couldn't help but be excited, he just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that the envoy would actually be willing to see him. This is a good sign, maybe after meeting today, we can return to the army.

After the greetings were seated, Qin Jin directly raised the issue of the emperor's victory. Lu Qi said indignantly: "Huangfu Ke doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it's a big deal to fight to the death with him, completely defeat the Shuofang rebels, capture the old thief of Huangfu, and see if he is still rampant!"

Of course, what Lu Qi said was angry, he couldn't understand Qin Jin's strategy, and maintaining the status quo was fundamental. But always showing favor like this is tantamount to showing weakness, Huang Fu Ke saw this point and felt that he had eaten the Shenwu Army, so he acted so unscrupulously.

"Envoy, the last general thinks that it is not appropriate to start a war with Huangfu Ke at this time, and he should find another way besides the war, so that Huangfu Ke can learn a lesson!"

Qin Jin nodded.

"This is also the reason why Qin saw you today!"

Hearing this, Pei Jing was overjoyed, and his excited heart almost jumped out of his chest. He twice caused the Shenwu Army to almost fall into a desperate situation, and he couldn't wait to have a chance to be ashamed immediately, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

"Huangfu Ke is not afraid, if he cuts off his back road, he naturally can't run rampant! Pei Jing, do you dare to go to Pujin on behalf of Qin?"

Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said resolutely: "Let the king have a life, go to the soup and die without spinning!"

Qin Jin said again: "Pujin is now considered a tiger's den in Longtan, but he will not go to the soup and fire, you are the most suitable person for this arduous task!"

"The intention of the envoy, let Pei Er assassinate Huangfu Ke in the name of the secret envoy?"

If this is the case, not to mention the chance of burning Huang Fu Ke under heavy protection, even if Pei Jing successfully assassinates Huang Fu Ke, there is almost no hope of survival. No matter how cold-blooded Lu Qi is, he and Pei Jing have had a relationship for many years after all, and they can't help but feel a little compassionate.

Pei Jing laughed and burst into tears.

"As long as you can be ashamed, you will have no regrets in death!"

"You two are thinking crookedly, I never intended to assassinate Huangfu Ke. Pei Jing went to Pujin to discuss the conditions of recruitment with the emperor as an envoy of the imperial court, but he had to teach the secret envoy of the thief a lesson by the way......"

Pei Jing and Lu Qi were both shocked, and then overjoyed, if they could successfully kill An Lushan's secret envoy, the back road for Huangfu Ke to use it as a bargaining chip would naturally be broken, and at that time there was only one way to cooperate with the Shenwu Army.

"The Huangfu family and the Pei family have been friends for many generations, and the Huangfu Ke has always been known for his love and faithfulness, and Pei Jing should be okay if he goes!"

Lu Qi counted the past of the friendship between the Huangfu family and the Pei family, and felt that it was indeed a good idea to let Pei Jing go to Pujin, as long as it was not a threat to Huangfu Ke's person, Huangfu Ke would definitely not kill the offspring of the Shijiao family. Qin Jin naturally reactivated Pei Jing out of this consideration.

During this period of time, the reason why Qin Jin has been idle Pei Jing is not to give up Pei Jing, but to let him learn from the pain and realize where his weaknesses are, so that he will not repeat the lessons of the past in the future.

……

In Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, Wei Ji was dressed and strode into the main hall, and a group of miscellaneous officials were already bowing and waiting, waiting for the chief officials to speak. However, Wei Ji only said lightly: "From today onwards, you are going to work under Wei, go down, everyone will return to you!"

The attitude of the new Jing Zhaoyin is unclear and unpredictable, and all the officials are trembling and uneasy. It is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, this Jingzhao Mansion is also like the court, and the former chief official is gone, and the pattern of the palace will naturally change.

In fact, Wei Ji had already planned, the errand of Jingzhao Mansion was not easy to do, and all parties were competing for power, and if he was deeply involved, he would inevitably be overwhelmed, so it was better to take power than to delegate power. Moreover, this errand was won by Qin Jin for hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it is natural to be favored by others, and it is logical to focus on the river canal envoy who is also on the errand.

Wei Ji never thought of himself as Qin Jin's cronies, and in his opinion, the two of them could be considered equally. Since he has received the benefits of Qin Jin and takes over Jing Zhaoyin's errand, he must achieve Qin Jin's wish and go all out to dredge Zheng Baiqu.

And dredging the Zhengbai Canal, the first thing that can't be bypassed is the political hall. It's just that his entry into Jingzhao Mansion has made Yang Guozhong's plan frustrated, and he will inevitably block it, which requires thinking of a perfect way to minimize Yang Guozhong's resistance.

This is also the problem that has been making him depressed for days, and he can only start from one side after thinking about it. First of all, Yang Guozhong is a person who can be bought, and he himself does not have a bottom line that cannot be repeated, as long as the temptation of profit is enough, this person will inevitably obediently enter the court.

However, if he wanted to find an undeniable benefit for Yang Guozhong from the official matter of dredging Zheng Baiqu, it really hurt Wei Ji.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the news from Tongguan was like a thunderstorm in the afternoon, making the dull and hot air that permeated Chang'an suddenly become cold and cold.

And Wei Ji found a glimmer of opportunity in this suddenly cold atmosphere, if he can seize this opportunity, the official matter of dredging Zheng Baiqu will be easily solved.
