Chapter 156: Revive Qianniuwei
Blocking the news is the best way at present, Qin Jin immediately agreed, and sent someone to find Jingzhao Yin Yanzhuang. Yan Zhuang had been worried about the matter of King Chen Liu's blood splashing the Ten Princes' Mansion, and when he saw the soldiers of the Shenwu Army coming to summon the news, he asked uneasily:
"Doctor, did the doctor say that Yan was summoned for, for what?"
The attitude of the military officer was not bad, and he said with a smile:
"The subordinates only know that Xia Xianggong and the Fifth Xianggong hurried over, as for the specific discussion, please forgive the subordinates for not knowing......"
This answer was also reasonable, Yan Zhuang had to smile awkwardly, and followed the military officer to the Zhongjun Marshal's Hall. Qin Jin saw Yan Zhuang walking in with his head down, and beckoned from afar:
"Yan Dayin has not seen anyone this morning, and now the emergency military report from Hexi, you can take a look first. ”
As he spoke, the military officials had already picked up the secret letter from the desk in front of Qin Jin and handed it to Yan Zhuang.
Yan Zhuang originally thought that Qin Jin would reprimand him for the incident of King Chen Liu's blood splashing the Ten Princes' Mansion, but who knew that there was an urgent military report in Hexi. He immediately thought of the situation in Anxi, perhaps because the situation in Anxi continued to deteriorate and had spread to Hexi.
But when he saw the specific content of the military report, Yan Zhuang was so shocked that he almost couldn't even hold a thin piece of parchment, and he couldn't imagine that the root of the problem between Anxi and Hexi was actually in the body of the abolished prince Li Yu.
Looking at the date of payment, it was already ten days ago, and the dozen or so military officials from Hexi were afraid that they had killed more than hundreds of horses at the post stations along the way.
"Dunhuang County has fallen? Isn't Anxi's transportation completely cut off from the imperial court? Zheng Jiedu and General Wuhu, however, are still ...... in Anxi?"
Fifth Qi raised his eyelids dissatisfied, glanced at Yan Zhuang, and said in his heart that he looked down on this subordinate from An Lushan Group, especially since this subordinate also occupied the position of Jing Zhaoyin. The prime minister of the political hall has always had to put Jing Zhaoyin's position in his own hands in order to be considered powerful, and this was the case with Li Linfu in the past, and so was Yang Guozhong. Now, this subordinate has no merit in size, and he is ashamed to occupy the key official position of Jingshi Dayin, how can they be pleasing to the eye?
However, it is not pleasing to the eye, after all, Yan Zhuang is the person brought back from Luoyang by Qin Jin, even if there is more dissatisfaction, it can only be hidden in the bottom of his heart, after all, the relationship between them can be regarded as both prosperity and loss, and now the waste prince Li Yu, who suddenly showed his traces, has surpassed Shi Siming of Hebei Province and has become a problem in their hearts.
"The key now is not how to rescue Zheng Jiedu and General Wuhu, but to tightly seal the news of the deposed prince to the west of Longyou. ”
At the same time, he accentuated his tone.
"At most, at most, it can only be in Longyou, and this news must not be allowed to enter Chang'an, otherwise the hearts of the people in Chang'an will fluctuate, and it is not something you and I can control!"
Yan Zhuang's mind was more active, and he connected the many events that had happened in the past few days, and suddenly realized that all this might not be without a trace, if it had been designed a long time ago, then it must be a big game of chess. It's just that what the purpose of this big game of chess is, it is difficult to guess.
At least, Yan Zhuang figured out one thing, that is, whether it was Princess Changle and his wife, or King Chen Liu, they were just marginal figures in this series of events, and the real mastermind behind the tomb may still be thousands of miles away.
Thinking of all this, he solemnly bowed and replied:
"What the fifth minister said is that the news must be blocked in the west of Longyou, and this kind of 'rumor' must not be allowed to spread to Guanzhong!"
Yan Zhuang specially accentuated the tone of the word "rumor", which immediately inspired Fifth Qi, and he slapped his thigh when he landed.
"Yes, rumors, the waste of the prince Yunyun, they are all rumors, but there are rumors, exile, no, the head of the lord abandons the city!"
In troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy codes, and only those who spread rumors must be dealt with seriously can it be possible to control the rumors.
However, Qin Jin thought that whether it was rumors or the truth, I was afraid that they would not be able to control it. Since the abolished prince deliberately planned these many events, the aftermath is by no means limited to this.
In the time of waiting for Yan Zhuang's arrival, Qin Jin had already thought very clearly, from the assassination of Princess Shou'an to the blood-spattered mansion of King Chen Liu, it must have been carefully planned, Princess Changle and his wife may have many things in the dark, but Lao Zong Zhengqing, Li Sujie, King Chen Liu, must know more about the truth. After all, Li Sujie is going to use his own blood to create a sensation and chaos in the Ten Kings' Mansion, so it would be too sad to put it into practice with blood, if you don't know the inside story.
In addition to respecting Li Sujie's integrity, Qin Jin also didn't understand that planning such a well-thought-out action would definitely not work with those Hexi merchants who had summoned him, and there must be people in Chang'an City who were lurking, peeking at everything that happened in broad daylight.
"In addition to blocking the news, we also have to torture the people related to Princess Changle's Mansion and Chenliu Palace, etc., we must find out what suspicious people have been in contact with them in the past four years of Zhide!"
These are naturally Jing Zhao Yin's duties, but with only those bad handsomes in Jing Zhao Mansion, Qin Jin thought that they were not enough, so he discussed with Fifth Qi:
"Now is a good opportunity, you can select from the bad handsome, and be in charge of this matter, I don't know what the two ministers think?"
Xia Yuanji said yes again and again, and Fifth Qi also felt that if someone could specialize in spying on rebellion, it would definitely be of great benefit to the imperial court, and if he took 10,000 steps back, he could also monitor and control the movements of the ministers of the court.
"The bad handsomes of Jingzhao Mansion are mixed, and there are many peddlers and pawns, so you have to choose another elite to set up an army, which is responsible for detecting illegality, arresting and torturing, and in what name, please ask the doctor to decide!"
This was originally Qin Jin's statement with a flash of inspiration, but now that Fifth Qi proposed specific rules, he immediately thought of an institution of a certain dynasty in the later generations.
Although spies arguing may not be the best way, controlling public opinion by such extreme means is definitely a good medicine. As for the name of such an organization, Qin Jin believes that the more low-key the name, the better, and even it is difficult for people to associate their real functions with their names alone.
Xia Yuanji, who had only nodded his head all the time, suddenly said:
"Speaking of the name, the old man has a small suggestion, Jingzhong has suffered many disasters, and the sixteen guards have already existed in name only, so it is better to choose one of the sixteen......"
Hearing this, Fifth Qi and Yan Zhuang unanimously high-fived and praised kindness, and when the two of them realized that they had a high degree of agreement on this matter, they quieted down again, and Fifth Qi even glared at Yan Zhuang with a little disgust.
But I heard Xia Yuanji tremble and say:
"The old man counted, among the sixteen guards, Qianniuwei is the most gentle, in the past, he was responsible for the guards and the imperial soldiers, but now everything has been replaced by the forbidden army, it is better to use the Qianniuwei!"
Qin Jin thought about it and felt that this was a good suggestion, so he readily agreed.
In a few words, a few people identified an institution that was about to have great power, and both Yan Zhuang, Xia Yuanji, and Fifth Qi were looking forward to getting a piece of the pie.
However, the ideas of the three of them have failed, the situation in the political hall is chaotic enough, Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi are a party, and while helping the Shenwu Army eliminate dissidents, they also establish their own prestige, and form a small circle of entangled interests. Although Wei Jiansu, who was about to return to Chang'an, had sufficient qualifications, his foundation was shallow, because the officials of the important official offices of the imperial court were all appointed by Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi. As for Yan Zhuang, he did not belong to any camp, and could only stand firmly by Qin Jin's side.
All in all, the stability of orderly and healthy competition will be far better than a mass of harmony, and Qin Jin is now well versed in the balance of Emperor Xuanzong, because the best way to control his subordinates with power is balance.
The specific personnel arrangements cannot be hastily decided, as for who to choose as the general of this Qianniuwei, it has to be carefully considered, he now has several candidates to choose from, but he has not yet made a final decision.
Qin Jin glanced at the three people present and said calmly:
"The matter of resetting Qianniu Weizi is a big matter, and the specific candidates need to be carefully discussed, as for the terms of reference, it is best to be directly responsible for the Son of Heaven, and in addition, it can be ...... without any constraints."
Since he intends to use Qianniuwei to supervise the hundred officials, he must directly hold the emperor's talisman like those envoys or Qincha, and only in this way will he be as little constrained as possible.
The matter of King Chen Liu's blood splashing the Ten Princes' Mansion was lightly brushed aside, and Yan Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and was not implicated because of this. But people's hearts always don't know how to be satisfied, after returning to Jingzhao Mansion, he began to look forward to the selection of General Qianniuwei as soon as possible, in his opinion, the most suitable candidate is himself. Because if you want to prosecute 100 officials, you must not have too much involvement with 100 officials, otherwise the party will fight against differences, and this Qianniuwei will not finally want to get involved in political and party disputes? In this way, it is very different from Qin Jin's original intention.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jingzhao Shao Yin Yuan walked into the middle hall with a face full of flattery.
"Da Yin, Da Yin, the assassin who killed King Chen Liuwang has been caught!"
"Well, who did you catch?"
Yan Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked. Yuan Yizhen hurriedly repeated again:
"Back to Da Yin's words, it was the culprit who assassinated King Chen Liu, who was caught!"
At this time, Yan Zhuang woke up like a dream, but looked at Yuan Yizhen with a suspicious gaze.
"I caught it, how did I catch it, and who was the first murderer?"
But I saw Yuan Yi stumbling and said:
"The subordinates, the subordinates have a feeling, and the subordinates return the feelings. ”
After saying that, he walked a few more steps, and lowered his voice next to Yan Zhuang's ear:
"When the subordinate met General Gao Lang next to Doctor Qin in the Ten Princes' Mansion, he said a few secret words to the subordinate in private, and the subordinate caught this evil culprit......"
Yan Zhuang became more and more confused the more he listened, the so-called Gao Lang General was Gao Changhe, the main general of the protector army around Qin Jin, but what did Gao Changhe say, so that Yuan Yizhen could catch the villain who assassinated King Chen Liuwang in such a short period of time?
