Chapter 137: The new Jing Zhaoyin
The atmosphere in the hall somehow became a little tense at some point, and everyone stared at Qin Jin's face in unison, trying to guess his thoughts from his expression and demeanor. However, what they saw on Qin Jin's face, in addition to being indifferent, was still indifferent, although Qin Jin's heart was also a little anxious, but the joy and anger that had been cultivated over the years were invisible, and at this time, they could easily deal with the speculation and spying of his subordinates.
Qin Jin knew that he couldn't tell his subordinates all the thoughts in his heart, otherwise he would be looking for something different. His gaze gradually stopped on Abe Nakamaro, and he was speculating about the authenticity of the news that this person had brought.
Although the spies of the Shenwu Army are still very weak in Hexi, if there are rumors in the market claiming that the abolished prince intends to stir up trouble, it is impossible for the spies not to hear such important news, and it is impossible to hear it as if nothing happened.
So, where did the news come from? He suddenly realized that Abe Nakamaro claimed to have an old friend in Hexi, and this old friend had taken him in, so could this so-called rumor be heard by him at the home of his old friend?
If that's the case, it's worth playing, and it's very likely that the news is from Abe Nakamaro's old friend.
Out of prudence, Qin Jin did not conduct in-depth interrogation, but instead responded for a whole hour before ordering someone to send the Tang envoy back to the post house. However, he left Yan Zhuang behind. Until there were only the two of them left in the hall, Qin Jin's face became gloomy.
"How many are you sending Tang envoys?"
"Bottom?"
Seeing that Qin Jin's gloomy expression could almost drip water, Yan Zhuang suddenly became alert, and he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately figured out the trick.
"Could it be that Doctor Qin suspects that Abe Zhongmaru is also involved in some mess?"
"No, if he was involved, he wouldn't have come back and wouldn't have revealed the news to you!"
Qin Jin shook his head and denied Yan Zhuang's questions, but Yan Zhuang's questions became more and more.
"Since he didn't participate and learned the inside story, how could his old friend easily let him go?
All the mysteries revolve around Abe Nakamaro, and his motives and purposes have always been a headache for Yan Zhuang. In the end, he slapped his head and said with a look of sudden realization:
"Is there such a possibility, you and I have thought about it, Abe Zhongmaro's motives and purposes are not important, at this time he is already in Chang'an, and he is under the close surveillance of the secret agents of the Shenwu Army. The top priority at the moment is to start investigating Abe Nakamaro's old friend in Hexi, as long as this so-called old friend is found out, you can follow the vine. β
It is indeed a good way to follow the vine to touch the melon, Qin Jin also feels that this matter can be investigated secretly, and before there is a concrete result, it is not appropriate to be too public, and even the political affairs hall should not know. There is no way to keep the official affairs of the government hall secret, and there is no way to do it, in addition to a cadre, there is a larger number of foreign officials who deal with ordinary affairs, that is, the history of the order and the history of the book.
Such a large group of officials is mixed, and it is impossible for them to grasp their identity and background.
"This matter is still secretly investigated by Yan Gong, but it always has to be a well-known and justified errand!"
This sentence made Yan Zhuang's eyes light up, and it was obvious that Qin Jin had already found a position for him.
"Jing Zhaoyin, Li Guangbi originally planned to serve as the envoy of the Hexi Festival, Jing Zhaoyin's errand has been prepared to be handed over to the right person, and now Yan Gong came to Beijing to report on his work, which is just the right time!"
Hearing this, Yan Zhuang was stunned, he naturally didn't expect to be able to enter the political affairs hall, but he still didn't expect that Qin Jin would have such faith in himself. Jing Zhaoyin's rank is from the third grade, which can already be equivalent to the prime minister, and the power in his hands is even more than that of ordinary officials. It can be said that Jing Zhaoyin has always been filled by capable ministers, and even if those with slightly worse qualifications are forcibly promoted to the top, it will only be a bad thing.
"The subordinates do not disgrace their mission!"
In addition, Yan Zhuang will not make more statements, as for those sycophantic words, he will not say them even more, saying this kind of thing to score objects, such as Qin Jin and others, never look at what is said, only look at what is done, as long as the errand under the explanation is done well, it is more effective than saying a thousand or ten thousand words of Ayu's flattery.
"Remember that this matter must be kept secret, Chang'an City seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the forces of all parties are still hidden in all corners, and it is difficult for the officials of the DPRK and China to distinguish who they have intersected with. β
Qin Jin thought a little deeper, since those conspirators intended to do things in Hexi and Anxi, the ultimate goal was to point the arrow at Chang'an, and a coup d'Γ©tat was likely to be brewing faintly.
Although Qin Jin didn't say it explicitly, Yan Zhuang still understood it.
"The doctor's meaning, maybe there will be changes in the DPRK and China?"
Qin Jin was speechless, neither affirming nor denying. What he was thinking about at this time was Li Guangbi's whereabouts, this person was subordinate to the realpolitik situation, but he had always sympathized with Li Heng's father and son, and at this sensitive moment it was no longer suitable to be sent to Hexi as an envoy to the festival, and it seemed that he would have to rearrange his whereabouts.
It wasn't until he felt the strange gaze from Yan Zhuang that he realized his gaffe, so he said:
"It's good to take precautions, but if someone is really plotting, you might as well make them make a bigger noise and a wider range!"
Playing tricks on power has always been Yan Zhuang's forte, of course he knows Qin Jin's intention to capture and indulge in such a thing, this trick can be described as extremely ruthless.
It seems that Dr. Qin wants to eradicate those hidden dangers once and for all to prevent future troubles.
Thinking so secretly, in Yan Zhuang's heart, Qin Jin's image was more inclined to the ruthless side, and the previous image was gradually subverted unconsciously.
Yan Zhuang asked himself that he has read countless people with half a lifetime of officialdom experience, and he can see through a person at a glance, including An Lushan and Shi Siming, who are heroes in the world, but Qin Jin is an exception, even if he sits opposite and talks with him, he will never be able to guess the true thoughts and intentions in his heart.
Early the next morning, Yan Zhuang received an official letter from the political affairs hall in the post house, and from now on, he made an official deal with Li Guangbi and officially assumed the post of Jing Zhaoyin.
Since Xia Yuanji entered the main political hall, he has swept away the impetuous and procrastinating habits in the officialdom, but all official duties must be divided into several categories of priorities, the fastest urgent affairs, and even specified that it should be completed before noon or before sunset.
The appointment of Yan Zhuang was decided early in the morning, and it was obviously supervised by Xia Yuanji himself, and Xia Yuanji was able to personally supervise it, and seven or eight times out of ten it was urged by Dr. Qin. Yan Zhuang had just come to Chang'an, and he didn't know the inside story of the DPRK and China, and although the post officials of the post house were of humble rank, they were familiar with these things, and they were even more respectful to him when they arrived.
Kyung Cho-yin is the prime minister's right and left hand, and the power is centralized, and everything within the scope of Gyeonggi can be interfered in.
Therefore, the postman mobilized almost all the people in the post house to serve this high-ranking official who rarely lived in the post house. Because all high-ranking officials have properties in Chang'an City, even if there is no industry, there are people who rush to arrange it, and it is not their turn to stay in the post house.
Obviously, this Yan Dayin entered Beijing with a very low profile, or the officials in Beijing did not know that this person was about to become Jing Zhaoyin, otherwise how could those officials with relevant interests let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
The post officer's idea is generally not bad, Yan Zhuang received the official document, and before the carriage and horses were ready, there was already movement outside the post house, and the first to arrive was Jingzhao Shao Yin Yuan. With Yuan Yizhen's qualifications and background, he is not qualified to be this Jingzhao Yin in any aspect, but the previous Jingzhao Shaoyin Zhang Ji had a major incident during his tenure and was taken away from his post and imprisoned, and there were a lot of general affairs in Jingzhao Mansion, and after some consideration, the political affairs hall still did not transfer people from the imperial court to replace Jingzhao Shaoyin, but was exceptionally promoted and appointed among the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
In this way, Yuan Yizhen seemed to have picked up a big bargain, and became Jingzhao Shaoyin, who he never dreamed of before.
Yuan Yizhen's humble background made it impossible for him to be recognized by the clan in the imperial court, so he could only do his best to tie up with the officials who were also from the same humble family. Before dawn in the morning, he had already learned the news of the new Kyung Zhao Yin from the eyeliner of the political affairs hall.
Therefore, Yuan Yizhen prepared the carriage and horses early, and even arranged the banquet that connected the wind and dust, and just waited for the officials of the political hall to deliver the official document before officially taking the new Da Yin back to the Jingzhao Mansion Office.
"The subordinates of Jingzhao Mansion Shao Yin Yuan paid a pillow to meet Da Yin! The subordinates learned that Da Yin was in his new position, and he came to the post house to wait to greet him!"
Yan Zhuang was also a person who had been the "Prime Minister of Dayan," so how could he not see such an obvious stammer? However, the problem now was that Yan Zhuang knew nothing about the personnel of Jingzhao Mansion, so it was not good to be too close, nor could he offend and alienate him.
However, in Yan Zhuang's opinion, this Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin has also gone a little too far, after all, before the handover, Li Guangbi was still the nominal Jingzhao Yin, and rushing to trust Da Yin with such fanfare made his predecessor lose face.
Yan Zhuang, who is well versed in the rules of yin and yang in officialdom, will naturally not take the carriage and horse arranged by Yuan Yizhen, and doing so will only make him offend people before he takes office.
"With Lao Shaoyin's troubles, Yan has not yet settled with Li Dayin, and he has not performed his duties, so it is really difficult to take the carriage and horse of Jingzhao Mansion to swagger through the city......
"This, this...... The carriages and horses have been prepared, even if Da Yin has not yet been delivered, it is a certainty that he will be appointed as Jing Zhao Yin......"
Before coming, Yuan Yizhen thought about various possibilities, but he didn't expect that Yan Zhuang would politely refuse to take the carriage and horse of Jingzhao Mansion, but people found an excuse and were above board, and they couldn't find the slightest fault. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, looking a little embarrassed, neither advancing nor retreating......
