Getting rid of Li Fuguo has always been something that Qin Jin can't think of, but because of various coincidences, he has always been unable to get what he wants. Now Li Fuguo controls Li Heng as a strange commodity, which has brought him a lot of trouble, so that he does not dare to act rashly. Don't look at Li Heng being forced to stop at Lingwu, a place where birds don't, but it is a matter of moving the whole body, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a new round of rebellion.

Qin Jin's current purpose is very clear, that is, to further consolidate the Liangjing and Hedong that the Shenwu Army firmly grasps in their hands, and then use this as a basis to completely annihilate the Shi Siming rebels entrenched in Hebei, and cut off the Jiedu envoys who have the potential to divide the territory in various places.

Jiedu made this errand already hated by Qin Jin, and it was only a matter of time before it was banned, and the first thing he had to do was to start from the territory already controlled by the Shenwu Army. Although Shuo Fang and Longyou both have temperance envoys, they are both false positions, and they have been praised by Li Heng's sons before, and the deputy envoys are not capable people. Therefore, it is very easy to ban the Jiedu envoys in Shuofang Longyou, and even Hexi and other places, so that the most important in Qin and Jin are Hedong and Jiannan.

The Jiannan Jiedu envoy has always been led by King Ying, and the local government has been closely following the central government in recent years, but since the fall of Chang'an, Lu Yuanyu, the deputy envoy of the Jiedu, has faintly had some discordant actions. A few days ago, Xia Yuanji sent an envoy to Jiannan to urge the payment of the rent that should be sent to Beijing this autumn, but he actually refused on the grounds that the road was not quiet.

This is definitely a dangerous signal, the beginning of local secession is to start from the aspect of money and food, once it is not restrained by the central government, it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is made. In contrast, the problem of Hedong is much simpler, although more important.

Although Lu Qi has the errand of the envoy of the festival, he is also a member of the Shenwu army system, as long as Qin Jin has always ordered, the whole army will not obey.

Since Li Fuguo's problem could not be solved overnight, Qin Jin decided to discuss with Xia Yuanji how to deal with Lu Yuanyu. Xia Yuanji is now resolutely opposed to the war against Jiannan, after all, the Shi Siming rebels in Hebei are the focus, not to mention that several jiedu envoys in Jiangnan are not very obedient, and they are all eyeing each other, and it is a bit unwise to rush to clean up the small role of Lu Yuanyu in comparison.

Qin Jin smiled disapprerovingly.

"As you can see, Lu Yuanyu also thinks so!"

Xia Yuanji sighed.

"How can the old man not know? But after all..."

"So I want to be taken by surprise and hit Lu Yuanyu by surprise, this is also a warning to others, don't think that you can take advantage of the opportunity to fight against the court casually!"

Qin Jin wanted to fight fast and slow, in addition to cutting off Lu Yuanyu, but also to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, especially when Li Fuguo relied on Li Heng to press the court step by step, he had to suppress all kinds of unstable factors by thunder. If a policy of appeasement is adopted for small characters like Lu Yuanyu, then those who have strong local forces will be even more free to do whatever they want.

Xia Yuanji also felt that it was very reasonable when he heard Qin Jin's reason, but he was still worried that if he failed to attack, could not attack for a long time, or lost the battle, the result might be counterproductive.

Regarding Xia Yuanji's worries, Qin Jin only smiled lightly.

"The Shenwu Army has not tasted defeat since it was born, does Xia Xianggong think that Lu Yuanyu, who has never been known for knowing soldiers, has the ability to defeat the Shenwu Army?"

In addition, the southern border army of Jiannan had a total of about 60,000 soldiers, and Li Longji took 30,000 with him when he left Shu.

As long as this battle is fought, there is no reason to lose!

Xia Yuanji finally raised another question.

"Lu Yuanyu just refused to pay the rent, and based on this alone, it was concluded that he was rebelling, and the reason was a bit too far-fetched......

Qin Jin laughed, pointed at Xia Yuanji and teased:

"Xia Xianggong has always been known for his wisdom, how can he be pedantic today? Should this battle be fought entirely based on the current situation, since the effect of fighting is better than not fighting, isn't it all trivial to find any reason?"

When Xia Yuanji heard this, he couldn't help but pat his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed, Qin Jin was right. Besides, Lu Yuanyu already had bad intentions, so it is no wonder that the court is punishing people again.

"Will the doctor send an envoy to order Lu Yuanyu to return to Beijing to appeal to his duties......?

Qin Jin Dao:

"There's no need, one will startle the snake, and the other is that if he chooses to give in, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger?"

Xia Yuanji had nothing to say, and he even faintly felt in his heart that if An Lushan had rebelled at the beginning, Qin and Jin would have been in charge of the court, maybe he would not have been defeated so badly.

However, there are no assumptions about the past. Besides, at that time, the forces of all parties in Chang'an were intertwined, from the political hall to the court, all full of power and intrigue and intrigues, the emperor of that year used this means to control the court situation steadily, no one force can easily sit big and uncontrolled, but I didn't expect that Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and finally it was An Lushan's brute force that destroyed the vain prosperity in one fell swoop with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

In just three or two years, with the end of the prosperous era, the flies and dogs that were originally sheltered under the nest were completely destroyed and wasted.

"Li Fuguo asks for a few times a day, how does the doctor plan to refuse him?"

"Wasn't it decided just now? I will go to welcome the Son of Heaven in the near future, and the political hall must also be prepared to deal with the possible crisis at any time, and the fifth Qi you recommended will let him be appointed to the near political hall tomorrow, but ......"

Speaking of this, Qin Jin suddenly paused.

Xia Yuanji was a little nervous, not knowing what Qin Jin was worried about, he looked at him blankly, waiting for him to say what he had said halfway but didn't say.

"But even if you add the Fifth Qi, the prime minister of the political hall is still a bit small, or the qualifications are not enough to suppress the formation!"

Seeing Qin Jin say this, Xia Yuanji was a little confused, looking at those in the imperial court who had the qualifications to be prime ministers, but there were few obedient people, people like Cui Lian, the fall of Chang'an was nine deaths, and the heroic deeds of assassinating Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie were also widely circulated, if it wasn't for the fact that he was torn down in prison and entered the political hall as a minister, it would be a sure thing, how could he obediently cooperate with Qin Jin with his style of acting?

Of course, Qin Jin's preferred candidate is not Cui Lian, but Wei Jiansu, who had already been the prime minister as early as the Tianbao period.

When Xia Yuanji heard the name Wei Jiansu, the doubts on his face all subsided, and then he smiled knowingly.

"Wei Jiansu has always been known for his steadiness in the court, so let him be like a political hall as the right servant of Shangshu, as for the specific errand, it is to be determined......"

Xia Yuanji already understood that the reason why Qin Jin let Wei Jiansu enter the political hall was to come to Li Fuguo, who in the Manchu Dynasty didn't know, this Wei Xianggong was a well-known shadow prime minister, and Yang Guozhong also fell in love with this person to let him enter the political affairs hall when he was obedient, and now Qin Jin let him rise again, of course, he also fell in love with his obedience.

"Now that the doctor has made a decision, the old man will rush back to make arrangements, and strive to deal with everything properly tomorrow. ”

……

Lingwu, a cavalry of hundreds of people marched through the city, and there was already a waiting team in the city to greet him, led by a scarlet-robed official.

"Miao Jinqing, the squire under the door, will wait for Zhonglang for a long time, and Zhonglang will be tired all the way......"

Miao Jinqing greeted the envoy who rushed to Lingwu from Chang'an, named Qin Ji, who was born as a domestic slave of Qin and Jin, but he made countless contributions in the previous wars of Kefu and Liangjing, so he was promoted to Zhonglang General.

"Miao Shilang can break me......"

Qin Ji's performance was still very humble, and without waiting for Miao Jinqing to salute, he dismounted first and slammed Miao Jinqing to the ground.

This made Miao Jinqing very embarrassed, he didn't plan to be polite, because he had a lot of grudges against the Shenwu Army, so not only did he not plan to be polite, but he also had to apply color. However, the other party's unexpected humility made him a little stunned, and the original prepared words were useless.

"Ah, please...... Please Nakaro will ...... The inn has already prepared wine and food, and it will be ...... for Zhonglang."

Miao Jinqing felt that the other party was so polite, neither humble nor arrogant, he really couldn't find a reason to have a seizure, only a kind of discomfort like a fish in his throat, and forced his nose to invite Qin Ji to rest at the post house.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Qin Ji is humiliated or not, what matters is the official document of the political hall brought by Qin Ji, and when the Son of Heaven returns to Beijing is a first-class event.

Therefore, while still on the road, Miao Jinqing couldn't help but ask:

"I don't know if Jingzhong is ready to welcome back the Son of Heaven?"

Qin Ji replied casually:

"Everything is ready, Doctor Qin specially explained that the last general is coming, just hoping that the Son of Heaven can send an official to the front station to discuss the matter of welcoming the driver!"

These words seem to be casual, but they are extremely strong, and it seems that the return of the Son of Heaven to Beijing is already a sure thing.

Miao Jinqing couldn't help but feel excited, although he didn't have too much contact with Qin Jinqi and his people, but judging from his past actions, this is not a person who talks empty words, as long as he can say it, he must be sure that he can do it.

However, Miao Jinqing immediately became unconsciously worried.

Qin Jin agreed so happily, it was very abnormal, could it be that he still had any conspiracy and tricks? Halfway through, his heart was heavy, and his brain hurt when he thought about it, and he didn't come up with a reason. But at least one thing is certain, that is, he feels that there must be something greasy in it, and how to analyze the specific details, I am afraid that he will have to discuss with Cui Yuan to have a result.

After sending Qin Ji to the post house, Miao Jinqing went back to see Cui Yuan non-stop, Cui Yuan also felt that he couldn't understand after listening to his relay, could it be that he had read Qin Jin wrong before?
