Chapter 163: Subordinates are not dull
The news that the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Army suddenly entered the city still stirred up a surging undercurrent in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and the content of the proclamation was just a matter for the people to see, and many people were chasing the hidden content behind the proclamation.
Some people say that it was the generals and colonels within the Shenwu Army who tried to launch a mutiny, and there are also rumors that some people with certain intentions violated the order to transfer troops. But no matter what, at least one thing can be sure of the people of Chang'an, that is, no matter why the 3,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, it didn't matter what they did after entering the city, and the market returned to calm.
Most of the people of Chang'an can pat their chests and swear to their neighbors:
"With Doctor Qin here, no demons and monsters can turn the sky upside down!"
This is probably an affirmation of Qin Jin's past achievements and exploits, but the deeper reason is that the people of Chang'an have subconsciously believed that Qin Jin is omnipotent, the Shenwu Army is invincible, and Chang'an has experienced so many catastrophes because Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army are not there. Otherwise, the people of Chang'an will not have to suffer the pain of the separation of flesh and blood, and the separation of relatives from yin and yang.
Compared with the rumors in the market, the officials in the court seem to be closer to the truth. A certain general and colonel of the Shenwu Army who was not low-ranking had been secretly arrested, and the three thousand elites of the Shenwu Army who suddenly entered Chang'an City and immediately withdrew from the city should have been specially prepared for the capture of that big man.
As for who the big man in the Shenwu Army was, all the generals and colonels of the Shenwu Army in Beijing were guessed by all the officials. However, it is still uncertain which big man it is.
In the hall next to the corridor on the left side of the government hall, a group of officials were waiting for the prime minister's reception, and they were also discussing yesterday's sudden incident when they had nothing to do.
"Have you heard? There has been a drastic change within the Shenwu Army, and yesterday the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Army entered the city, almost causing a catastrophe......
"Don't be alarmist, the Shenwu Army has always been tightly organized, and military discipline prohibits, how can there be a mutiny?"
"Don't say it's impossible, there is no absolute in this world, even the emperor can become the plaything of the former officials, how can he talk about the Shenwu Army that has only been in the army for a few years?"
As soon as these words came out, some people immediately signaled to silence them, how could such words be able to be spoken?
In fact, when the ministers discuss the government in private, they are all like this, but after all, this is the party room of the government hall, and if it is spread to the ears of some villains with evil intentions, it is not impossible to make a fuss.
At this time, a medium-sized officer in a scarlet robe said:
"It is true that there will be no mutiny in the Shenwu Army. However, the long history of the Shenwu Army is already in prison at this time!"
"Which long history?"
The words of the scarlet-robed official were conclusive, and they attracted everyone's interest immediately.
"Which long history can it be, naturally it is Chen Qianli!"
The long history of the Shenwu Army is different from the history of other families, and the history of other families is responsible for all kinds of military and political affairs, which can be described as a lowly and powerful position.
However, how could such a long history who specializes in law enforcement take the lead in violating military law?
"Tell me, tell me, what's the secret in this?"
The scarlet-robed official sighed and shook his head again.
"It's a pity to say that this matter is a pity, I only know the name and official position of the person who was arrested, as for the specific details, I can only tell you the person concerned!"
sold a lot of money, but in the end it was this painless result, and the officials who listened to the excitement naturally refused to let him go easily, and of course they would not believe that he did not know the inside story of this matter.
The whispering soon turned into a faint noise, and it happened that there was a book outside that pushed the door in, startling the officials to shut up in a hurry.
"Which one is Min Xiuwen in the matter......?
Just now, the scarlet-robed official stood up and said politely:
"Something is!"
Although the Lingshi and Shulingshi in these political affairs halls are all foreign officials, their status is far from being comparable with their officials, but there is a way that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and in order not to be tossed by these little ghosts, most of the officials will not offend the Shuling history walking inside and outside the political affairs hall.
Out of the room, far away from the door, the scarlet-robed official named Min Xiuwen cautiously asked:
"The fifth minister, but did you see the music below?"
And today's son is paralyzed and can't be a director, but all the ministers' recitals are handled by the political affairs hall, and the fifth Qi is the prime minister on duty today, so he naturally wants to read today's recitals.
Shulingshi's attitude is lukewarm.
"The subordinates are only responsible for walking outside the hall, and how the ministers in the hall handle official affairs is not within the responsibility of the subordinates!"
A sentence that was neither soft nor hard, neither humble nor arrogant pushed Min Xiuwen back, Min Xiuwen was bored with himself, so he closed his mouth in embarrassment, followed behind the book Lingshi, and soon arrived outside the door of the middle hall of the Fifth Qi Office.
The book ordered Shi Xian to go first, and in a moment the fifth Qi of Kung Fu came out, so that Min Xiuwen immediately entered the meeting.
This was the first time he had entered the political hall, and it was not as magnificent as he had imagined, and it was more like the study of a large family in comparison. The bookcases and bookshelves look very old, and the smoke of the incense burner in the hall and the smell of sandalwood are refreshing and refreshing.
There is a screen on the left side of the hall, and the fifth Qi of Shangshu's left servant shoots behind that screen.
"The subordinates gave Min Xiuwen in the matter, see Xianggong!"
"No formality, come in!"
Fifth Qi's words were very low, and Min Xiuwen bypassed the screen with trepidation, but saw that the pen in Fifth Qi's hand was still shaking, obviously struggling to write.
Everyone else envies the prime minister's power, but they don't know that he has a lot of opportunities every day, and even the ordinary rest time has to be used to deal with official documents.
For those treacherous and incompetent, being the prime minister is naturally a way to enjoy themselves, but as far as the fifth Qi is concerned, when you are a monk for a day, you have to strike the bell well for a day, and you must not be fooled.
The subordinate officials who should be subordinate to the subordinate province of the subordinate are under the jurisdiction of the subordinate servants according to reason. However, since Wei Jiansu, the servant of the Menmen, rushed to Jiangnan, Menxia Province has naturally become the self-reserved place of Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi.
This Min Xiuwen was neither Wei Jiansu's cronies nor the cronies of Fifth Qi and Xia Yuanji, and the reason why Fifth Qi wanted to see him today was because this guy sent a letter.
Fifth Qi dusted off a piece of paper on the case.
"You wrote this note"
"It's the subordinates!"
From the voice of the fifth Qi, Min Xiuwen sensed a trace of gloom, and from his complexion, Min Xiuwen had a bad premonition, but when it came to the end, he had to bite the bullet and say:
"The subordinates are foolish, if you say something wrong, please please, please also ask Gong Haihan!"
Unexpectedly, Fifth Qi suddenly burst out laughing.
"If you dare to speak for the court, even if you are wrong, you should be rewarded, you don't have to be afraid. It's a good thing for you to see you today!"
It was only at this time that the word "good thing" came out of the mouth of the fifth Qi, and Min Xiuwen's worried heart was finally put back into his chest.
Fifth Qi picked out the book case with his hand again and asked:
"In your recital, it is said that the western affairs and the northern affairs cannot be carried out at the same time, and they should be tightened first and then slowed, I don't know what is tight, what is slow?"
Speaking of these, it is Min Xiuwen's strength, he stabilized his mind and said:
"Western affairs involve Anxi and Hexi, and the following officials are foolish, as long as Hexi is not lost, it will make Guanzhong safe. But Hebei is different, Hebei has always been an important place for grain production and soldiers, to the north is a barrier to resist the Khitans to the south, and to the south it forms half of our Tang Dynasty with Dugi Road.
It turned out that Min Xiuwen was an official who was selected and transferred to Beijing from Shu, because he was selected as excellent over the years, so he was promoted and transferred to Chang'an by the Ministry of Officials.
From a local official, to an important official who has become the center of the Beijing Division, how can he not make Min Xiuwen tremble and suffer from gains and losses?
Therefore, after making sufficient preparations, Min Xiuwen wrote a detailed note on the situation in the world and the choice of the imperial court, hoping to attract the attention of the prime minister. Now, as expected, because of this letter, he was received by the prime minister.
Fifth Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said as if talking to himself:
"Can't I see this kind of truth as the prime minister?"
This was not polite, Min Xiuwen immediately broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that what he had just said was too full and too hard, which might have made the fifth minister unhappy.
However, before he could speak, he saw Fifth Qi suddenly leaning forward and asked word by word:
"Do you know that even a wise doctor like Qin is in a dilemma, why is this?"
"Why?"
Min Xiuwen subconsciously asked, but immediately realized that there must be some unknown secrets in this, and he was both curious and scared in his heart. What I wonder is what secret is behind this? I am afraid that I will be implicated and punished for talking too much.
Fifth Qi sat up straight again and looked directly at Min Xiuwen.
"There are some things that are much better than not knowing them, do you want to be good or don't want to be good?"
Fifth Qi's words that are not yin and yang are really difficult to answer, Min Xiuwen secretly wondered to himself, what is the intention of this fifth minister, if he wants to ask about it, he obviously will not say many irrelevant words. But if his attention is no longer distracted, then what is the purpose of receiving him?
Min Xiuwen, who has many years of experience as an official, knows that if he can't figure out what the other party's purpose is, he will be like a blind man, and he can only let others lead him by the nose. In officialdom, this situation is very dangerous, because if you are not careful, you may make a mistake and fall into the abyss of integrity.
"The subordinates are dull, please make it clear!"
