Qin Jin didn't sleep all night, and after sending away Tian Chengsi and Zhang Jie, he ordered someone to escort Li Xu, the king of Xiang, to the Zhongjun Shuaitang. However, the prince didn't even dare to be angry at this time, and even secretly wept on the way to the Chinese army, thinking that he thought that the end had come, and after seeing Qin Jin and Pei Jing, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Looking at King Xiang, whose body was shaking like chaff, Qin Jin only felt that the children of the Li family were not as good as the generation, although most of the Li Heng brothers were mediocre assets, they could always be mentioned, and now look at Li Xu's brothers, they are either shallow and incompetent, or such spineless people.

"Your misfortune has already happened, do you plan to continue to resist stubbornly or tell the truth? If you say it now, at least there will be a decent ending, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the cool officials, I'm afraid it will ......"

This is already a very naked threat, and the implication is that if Li Yu does not explain truthfully, the end will be miserable. Pei Jing immediately followed and said:

"Don't think that the Pei family will stand behind you, wishful thinking!"

In fact, Li Xuan's actions have threatened the interests of the Pei family to a certain extent, bringing the Pei family to a very embarrassing position. At this time, it is the best choice to completely cut off and sever relations with King Xiang.

"Uncle, uncle......"

Maybe Li Yan was too frightened, and he stammered a little for a while.

"Don't call me uncle, my Pei Jing didn't grovel and be willing to be the nephew of the Huhu Eagle Dog!"

Since the rebellion of An Lushan Shi Siming, the court has become sensitive and fragile on issues involving Fan Hu, once Li Yu took the initiative to flatter Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and sell his body, it is conceivable that he will be ruined, and there is no room to turn over, if the Pei family is involved with him, how can it be good?

Therefore, Pei Jing resolutely stood on the side of Qin Jin, and more resolutely demanded that Li Xu, the king of Xiang, be severely punished than outsiders.

Pei Jing's statement frightened Li Xuan, who originally thought that there was an uncle in the Shenwu Army who could be relied on, but now it seems that the person who wants to die the most is none other than this uncle.

"Don't be angry, I said, I'll say anything, I just ask Doctor Qin to be gracious, forgive, and spare my life......"

Li Xuan disdained to beg for mercy from those low-level officials, but he had nothing to care about in front of Qin Jin, because he knew whose hands his life and death were really in his hands.

Qin Jin sneered twice.

"To whom did the courtiers whom you killed beg for mercy?"

"I, I was blinded by lard at the time, and now I realize that I was wrong......"

Suddenly, as if he had changed someone, Li Yan threw himself on his knees, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Jin's legs, crying bitterly. The guards on duty in the hall planned to step forward to pull him away, but they were stopped by Qin Jin.

"Ask Dr. Qin to give me a chance to be a new person......

I saw Li Yan snorting and swearing with tears:

"If you break your oath and repeat the mistakes of the past, you would rather have five thunders on the top......"

This sudden change made Qin Jin a little surprised, he couldn't cry or laugh, it was definitely not okay to spare Li Xuan, Li Xuan's various ugly things have been faintly circulated among the courtiers, and now they have been dug up by Tian Chengsi and Zhang Jie, so they must give everyone a reasonable explanation. is reasonable and reasonable, and has not let go of Li Yan's reasoning.

Qin Jin held Li Yan's arms and forced him up.

"You are a disciple of the Li family, don't insult the ancestors, since you have done some things, you must dare to take them!"

"Qin, Doctor Qin, but, I don't want to die!"

"Do you have any options?"

At this time, Li Yan seemed to have grasped the last straw, grabbing Qin Jin's arm.

"Yes, some choose, the current Chang'an City Doctor Qin is full of words, as long as Doctor Qin says a word, no one dares to object, no one opposes it......"

Pei Jing, who was on the side, really couldn't stand Li Yan's virtue at this time, and couldn't help but reprimand:

"Li Yu shut up, kill to pay for your life, repay your debts, and Doctor Qin will not exonerate you!"

Li Yu didn't choose to speak:

"As long as the doctor can exonerate me, my family property, all family property, will be willing to be handed over to the Shenwu Army as military salary, as long as it can give me a place to sleep...... Like Li Chenghong, he became a monk or entered the meditation and monasticism, and from then on, he never asked about the world, the world, isn't it okay?"

Without waiting for Qin Jin to speak, Pei Jing categorically shouted:

"No, even though Doctor Qin intends to let you go, but how can you calm down the anger of the people?"

Li Yan was completely dumbfounded, and sat on the ground and cried loudly.

……

The political situation in Chang'an has changed several times a year, and the Son of Heaven, who is far away in Lingwu, finally has an edict to arrive, and Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is in the middle of the school. According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, the governors of the three provinces were qualified to enter the political hall to worship the prime minister. And the current pattern is that the positions of provincial governors are vacant, so Xia Yuanji has become the sole minister of the political hall.

At the moment of thanking the edict of the Son of Heaven, Xia Yuanji was excited and burst into tears, thinking that his life could only stop at the position of idle Shangshu, but God favored this person who had been given up, and he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in just over a month, and he was also alone.

This kind of treatment has never been even seen in the era of Li Linfu, who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Xia Yuanji has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, and only after the year of the sixtieth year did he achieve the peak of the people and ministers by chance, and he was naturally very grateful, vowing to repay the peach, and the first thing he did after entering the political hall was to convene the officials and subordinates to discuss the merits of the generals of the Shenwu Army.

"Doctor Qin's restoration of the two capitals, this is the work of the world, don't say that you worship the prime minister, even if you are crowned the king, it is not too much!"

"As early as when Luoyang was restored, Doctor Qin had already been named the Duke of Liangguo, and if he wanted to go further this time, only the king would not be buried......"

Most of the officials are veterans of people's hearts, and they naturally know that it is Qin Jin standing behind this Xia Xianggong, maybe today's discussion of merit is instructed by Qin Jin. Therefore, the officials did not shy away from saying that with the credit of Qin and Jin, only the king would not chill the hearts of the officials.

However, Xia Yuanji's idea is a little more reliable, if he is crowned king now, it may not be a good thing for Qin Jin, but it is better to go further in the dispatch of the ministry to be low-key. However, for the generals under Qin Jin's command, large-scale exceptional promotions can be carried out, as for how to promote, how many people to promote, and the scope of promotion, it must be carefully studied.

After everyone expressed their attitudes, Xia Yuanji coughed and said slowly:

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a different surname to be crowned a king, and the matter of being crowned a king still needs to be considered in the long run, but Doctor Qin already has an heir, so it is better to make up for his son from the preferential. ”

In fact, as Xia Yuanji thought, the officials did not really want to wholeheartedly support the Feng Qin and Jin kings, but to show their attitude in this way, since the attitude has been expressed, there is no need to continue to insist, and now Xia Yuanji has proposed a more feasible and reasonable way, so naturally they will all go down the slope.

Soon, the officials reached an agreement on the matter of the eldest son of Qin and Jin, and the son, who was not yet a year old, became the first founding county marquis to be crowned in the third year of Zhide.

As for the reward for the specific candidates of the lieutenant general colonel of the Shenwu Army, a specific decision can only be made after carefully studying the merit book, but the specifications of the reward have been tripled. There is also the issue of Qin Jin's function, he himself needs to be avoided, but Xia Yuanji has no need to avoid, and straightforwardly discussed with his subordinates:

"Xia is old and frail, and it is difficult for him to stand alone in the political affairs hall, and Dr. Qin is expected to return, and he can be the Zhongshu Order! What do you think?"

Naturally, the officials have nothing to question, Zhongshu Ling is the head of the prime minister, and no one will be stupid enough to refute this suggestion. Now the Shenwu Army has become the mainstay of the stability pass, and Doctor Qin is a well-known figure in Chang'an City, if he is not qualified to be a Zhongshu order, who else is qualified?

"Doctor Qin deserves to be the secretary of the Chinese order!"

Everyone spoke in unison.

After the discussion was over, Xia Yuanji relaxed his waist, but accidentally found that a subordinate was still wearing a summer single clothes, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and there was no fire in the political hall, the cold was pressing, and he was shivering with cold.

"Lin Langzhong, why are you still wearing single clothes?"

This Lin surnamed Langzhong said embarrassedly:

"Xianggong didn't know that when the Tubo people were raging, Yu Chaoen killed the courtiers, and the subordinates scattered all the family wealth, so that the lives of the family were saved......"

As he spoke, he gradually choked up.

Xia Yuanji didn't belong to any faction in the court in the past, so he didn't even bother to look for his bad luck when Yu Chaoen was raging, and now he heard that there was still such a thing, and he couldn't help but be very surprised.

"And the idea of saving money from death?"

The topic turned here, and it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and they all accused Yu Chaoen of being rampant at that time.

"Be quiet, Lin Langzhong, what is going on?"

Lin Langzhong choked up and recounted what happened to him, it turned out that except for Yu Chaoen's sworn enemy, the rest of the wronged people were saved from death if they had money, and they would die if they had no money. Under the shameless oppression of Yu Chaoen, I don't know how many officials have lost their families and scattered their wealth.

"Although the ...... subordinates scattered their family wealth, they saved their lives after all, and many people scattered their family wealth and eventually died, speaking of which, the subordinates are also the lucky ones......

Although Lin Langzhong scattered all his family wealth and moved out of the mansion, the lives of the family were finally saved, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, Xia Yuanji raised his eyes and looked at the officials and subordinates and asked:

"Who else among you has been blackmailed by Yu Chaoen?"

According to statistics, more than 90% of people have been extorted for money, which makes him very angry.

"Where is the extorted money?"

According to Xia Yuanji's meaning, find the money and then return it to everyone according to a certain proportion, although it is difficult to completely make up for everyone's losses, but it can always alleviate the urgent need.

However, the results were not what he had hoped. After Yu Chaoen died, this money was taken by the Tubo people as their own, and when they withdrew from Chang'an City, this money was also missing.
