"Envoy, it has been determined, Fan Changming is hiding in the inner courtyard of the county commander Xue Jingxian. ”

Lu Qi rushed to report at midnight, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

As a result, Qin Jin was a little surprised, what kind of ability did Fan Changming have to move among officials at all levels? When he was in Xin'an, this person colluded with the county magistrate Cui Anshi because he relied on the identity of a local hero, but after arriving in Chang'an, he had nothing, and he could still have a relationship with Cheng Yuanzhen. Now he followed himself to Feng Yi County, and he was actually the guest of honor of the county order.

This also made Qin Jin have a little interest in Fan Changming, but he wanted to see what kind of ability this old man had to persuade a group of officials of all levels to be between his tongues.

"You can arrest people, don't pay attention to Xue Jingxian. ”

Qin Jin knew that the reason why Lu Qi did not arrest people without authorization was not because of Xue Jingxian's status as a county commander, but because he didn't know what arrangements he had for Xue Jingxian.

"Xue Jingxian is Cui Liang's person, and he relies on Yang Guozhong's recommendation as an official, and he must not stay in the position of Feng Yi's county commander. Du Zimei is about to arrive in Tongzhou in the near future, and this person is an excellent replacement. ”

Lu Qi knew Qin Jin's attitude, and immediately ordered the relatives waiting outside the hall to send an order to the county court to arrest Fan Changming and Xue Jingxian, and then quietly waited for Qin Jin's next step.

He was very concerned about the foundation of the Shenwu Army in Fengyi County, and this foundation was the local civil officials, that is, the county guards and county orders. Needless to say, the county guard was in the hands of Qin Jin. But the county orders in various places, especially the county orders of the county governance, are most of Cui Liang's sworn friends.

Lu Qi suggested that Qin Jin find a list, and then go to Chang'an to operate privately, and change the county orders in a big way.

However, Qin Jin disagreed.

"The Shenwu Army has just arrived, it is not easy to make a big move, otherwise it is easy to backfire, just replacing Feng Yi's county order is enough to deter those who are in the twilight of Qin. ”

It is not without reason to say that these officials are in the Qin Dynasty, and Feng Yijun's Changshi Yan Lun is a typical representative of them, who was picked up by Cui Liang, but at the critical moment, not only failed to stand up for Cui Liang, but also personally fell into the well in exchange for his own political bargaining chips. Lu Qi obviously also realized that among the officials at all levels that Qin Jin was referring to, Yan Lun bore the brunt.

"Yan Lun should be killed, Cui Liang falls, this person has no use value, it will be a scourge to keep it sooner or later......"

Qin Jin shook his head, "Although Yan Lun is a villain, he will fulfill his promise in exchange for this, and let him continue to sit in the position of Changshi, so that those who have a heart will naturally follow the same example and dare not disobey the yang and the yin." ”

This is what Lu Qi failed to think of, he has always taken the party's common war and disagreement as the basic means of acting, but doing so will inevitably make countless enemies, if he can use this obscure and gentle means to win the hearts of some people, or Qin Jin's idea is more clever.

"Du Zimei will arrive in Tongzhou City at noon tomorrow, you go and arrange a horse team to go out of the city at dawn to greet you, and let this guy with an untimely stomach see the enthusiasm of our Shenwu Army. ”

Speaking of Du Fu and his people, Lu Qi's eyes showed a bit of disdain. When he and Yang Xingben were in Chang'an to dig a deep grain storage hole, this person once came forward to find fault with the Shenwu Army, but Qin Jin also accepted this person's complaint.

Of course, Lu Qi's criticism of Du Fu was definitely not out of personal grudges, but because he felt that this kind of inflexible person would only be bad if he stayed by Qin Jin's side.

Lu Qi always had something to say in front of Qin Jin, so he said bluntly:

"Du Zimei's temper is stinky and hard, let him be the county magistrate of the county, I'm afraid it will give you a headache in the future. ”

Qin Jin smiled slightly, and naturally understood the implicit meaning of Lu Qi's words.

"Let Du Zimei come to Tongzhou, you have to bring a tight spell here, so that you don't know that day when you get carried away. ”

While speaking, Qin Jin pointed to his head again and smiled.

"Bondage?"

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized again. After the reign of Empress Wu, Buddhism has blossomed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and its scale has far exceeded the trend of Taoism. As soon as the mantra was said, Lu Qi naturally found an explanation from Buddhism. He also knew that since the Chang'an Mutiny, the Shenwu Army had often violated military discipline, so he coughed a little embarrassed and pretended to be confused.

"As you say, the Shenwu Army really needs a mantra to put on its head. ”

But Lu Qi also knew that Qin Jin's transfer of Du Fu to Tongzhou was by no means just what he said on the surface to bring a tight spell to the Shenwu Army. But what was the underlying reason? He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

In the past, he could always follow the clues from Qin Jin's actions and explain the reasons clearly, but the fact that Du Fu was appointed as Feng Yi's county commander was really a bit inexplicable.

Qin Jin also knew that Lu Qi was a very scheming person, and he also liked to get to the bottom of it, but transferring Du Fu to Feng Yi was indeed not the best choice. In comparison, the most suitable person to sit in the position of Feng Yi County Commander is Du Qianyun.

In fact, a large part of the reason why Qin Jin took care of Du Fu was from the memory of his previous life. He knew that if he left Du Fu alone, maybe this great poet who was famous for later generations would probably return to his original life trajectory.

Therefore, for this reason that he could not be spoken to outsiders, Qin Jin transferred this person from Chang'an to Feng Yi.

Originally, he planned to transfer Wei Ji to Feng Yi as an arm, but unexpectedly, Wei Ji politely rejected Qin Jin's kindness.

Qin Jin only thought about it for a moment and understood why Wei Ji rejected his kindness. Since the mutiny, Wei Ji and Du Fu were both implicated and dismissed, and for Du Fu, it was more attractive for Du Fu to be a county magistrate in Feng Yi's upper county as a county magistrate than a pro-people official. And for Wei Ji, who has a higher vision, even if he is made to be Feng Yijun's Taishou, he may not be willing.

There is no other reason, Wei Ji is politically ambitious, he was already an official to Shangshu Zuocheng before he was dismissed, and he was also a very important official in Shangshu Province. Even after the dismissal, it is still regarded as the starting point of the comeback. What's more, everyone at that time was proud to be a Beijing official, and even many people would rather be idle officials in Chang'an than go out to local places to take up real positions.

In the final analysis, in Wei Ji's eyes, the relationship between him and Qin Jin was nothing more than a cooperative relationship. And Qin Jinmao rashly invited him to Feng Yi, it was really abrupt, and it was possible for a high-minded and arrogant person to turn his face on the spot. It's just that Wei Jiqi is very deep in the city, so he won't offend Qin Jin out of thin air because of such inconsequential emotional problems.

Qin Jin didn't want to embarrass Lu Qi too much, so he casually shifted the topic to Wei Ji.

In fact, Lu Qi knew from the beginning that with Qin Jin's current official status, Wei Ji would definitely not choose to be dependent, he could only choose limited cooperation. However, the most obvious truth in this officialdom, Lu Qi didn't believe that Qin Jin couldn't understand it, and maybe there were other arrangements.

However, just now, Qin Jin sighed with emotion and expressed regret for not being able to entrap a talent like Wei Ji, Lu Qi actually had a strange thought, that is, Qin Jin really didn't realize the delicate relationship between the two. However, this is nothing, and the so-called relationship is not set in stone.

Now that Qin Jin's status is not up or down, Wei Ji can naturally only choose limited cooperation for practical reasons, and as long as he makes the status between the two become disparity, he will naturally have the possibility of transformation.

"Envoy, the last general thinks that it is better to let Wei Ji come to Feng Yi than to let him stay in Chang'an. ”

Lu Qi rarely took the initiative to give advice, and Qin Jin was surprised and interested, so he asked:

"How so?"

Lu Qizi carefully said:

"Although Feng Yijun is only one county away from Chang'an, after the Shenwu Army left Chang'an, it lost control over the movements of all parties in Chang'an.

Qin Jin was overjoyed, after all, a person's energy was limited, for example, in Wei Ji's arrangement, he had not thought rigorously. Lu Qi put forward this suggestion today, obviously because he had thought about it many times before, and he cautiously put it forward when he had the opportunity at this moment.

"Yes, Wei Ji is indeed much more suitable in Chang'an than Feng Yi. However, it is not appropriate for him to continue to be Shangshu Zuocheng. Moreover, Shangshu Zuocheng is also a very important position in Shangshu Province, and the political hall headed by Yang Guozhong will never agree to the reinstatement of Wei Jiguan, who has a great relationship with the Shenwu Army. ”

"The king is very worried, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng may not be helpful in the Shenwu Army, but having a position is very beneficial!"

Qin Jin felt strange that Lu Qi really had many amazing words today, so he encouraged him to continue.

"Jing Zhao Yin is a high-ranking official with real power, although he will inevitably be angry left and right, but Wei Ji will definitely not refuse. ”

"Jing Zhao Yin?" Qin Jin didn't expect that Lu Qi actually proposed that Wei Ji be Jing Zhao Yin.

After several accidents, Jingzhao Yin Wang Shoujun chose to ride on the wall as a wall-to-side, with Yang Guozhong's temperament, once he returns to power, he will inevitably not be able to tolerate this person. Rather than arranging candidates, it is better for the envoy to take the lead. ”

"Let's talk about it first, what is the benefit of Wei Ji being Jing Zhaoyin to the Shenwu Army?"

Qin Jin didn't understand that although Jing Zhaoyin was in a high position, he was not in the center of the imperial court after all, and his help to the Shenwu Army was extremely limited. Of course, if the Shenwu army is still stationed in Chang'an, it will be a different matter.

Lu Qi still looked unsurprised or pleased, and responded in a deep voice:

According to the practice of the imperial court, Jing Zhaoyin concurrently served as the envoy of the river canal, and it was the envoy of the river canal that the envoy had to borrow. ”

Speaking of the river canal envoy, Qin Jin also suddenly realized something.

"You mean, Zheng Baiqu?"

Lu Qi arched his hand and said:

"Make Jun Mingjian, it is indeed Zheng Baiqu. If the Zhengbai Canal is dredged, the grain output will inevitably double in less than two years......"

Zhengbai Canal is an irrigation water system, formerly known as the Zhengguo Canal built by the Qin Dynasty and the Baigong Canal dug by the Han Dynasty, which was dredged during the Taizong period, but due to the hasty construction, it has been silted up too much in only a hundred years now.
