Chapter 706: The Envoy's Refuge
Qin Jin seemed to be looking at Helan Jinming with interest, since Fang Xuan rushed out of the customs with the army first, the people who came to him to analyze the current situation had almost smoothed the threshold. Among them, there are many people who look down on Fang Xuan, but people like Helan Jinming are still the first one who is so sure that Fang Xuan will be defeated.
As a high-ranking person for a long time, Qin Jin has adapted to the embrace of ordinary officials, and has adopted a response attitude towards them that is neither far nor close. To tell the truth, at least half of the officials in the imperial court are people who have risen to power by virtue of various connections, and at least half of this part of the people are incompetent and incompetent.
It's just that in this kind of society where nepotism is extremely developed, officials can have no ability or talent, and only need to rely on a strong and powerful tree, which is the most important.
One of the reasons why this particular go will not offend them easily.
When Helan Jinming asked to see him, Qin Jin originally planned to see him, but his former subordinate Fifth Qi in Beihai also mentioned this person in front of him more than once, so he became quite interested in Helan Jinming.
"Let's talk about it, how can Qin Mou and De clean up the mess?"
One sentence choked Helan Jinming back, but this person didn't intend to persuade Qin Jin as soon as he opened his mouth, so he only replied word by word after thinking for a moment:
"Fang Xuan is a soldier on paper, and he is jealous and jealous, and there is no distinction between public and private, this kind of person is the commander who leads hundreds of thousands of troops, how can he be undefeated?
Helan Jinming's accusation that Fang Xuan did not distinguish between public and private has saved enough face for Fang Xuan, otherwise speaking out will be enough to frustrate his wishes, and he can't offend anyone at this time, otherwise he may never have a chance to come back.
"These are not the inevitable reasons for defeat, if Qin publicly mentions this matter at this time, in case there is a recurrence in the future, how can it be remedied?"
Helan Jinming seems to have typed the draft a long time ago, and his answer is still crisp.
"Whether Fang Xuan wins or loses, the subordinates would rather use the head of the upper head as a guarantee......"
Qin Jin hurriedly stopped Helan Jinming's words.
"You are just willing to hand over the head of Xiang Shang, and Qin doesn't dare to accept it, the court officials have their own laws and regulations, and Qin has no right to interfere in it. ”
In this regard, Helan Jinming thought that this was Qin Jin's pretense of being reserved, and who wouldn't want to take the credit for recovering the Eastern Capital on one shoulder?
Before this, many people had burned the hot stove of Qin Jin in advance, but there were not many people who burned the cold stove. Later, Fang Xuan was born and led the army to the east as the prime minister.
These are all well-known news, but Helan Jinming moved closer to Qin Jin a few points, and his voice was extremely low.
"Let's tell the truth, the subordinate has relatives in Shandong, and although he is trapped in the head of the thief, he is dedicated to the imperial court. In the meantime, the relatives of the subordinate sent an urgent letter, saying that the army of the prime minister had entered the stage of exhaustion, and presumably the official military report should also be sent to the Son of Heaven and the political hall at this time. ”
Helan Jinming said everything so clearly, Qin Jin also knew that he had to express his position, so he nodded and said seemingly casually:
"Although Fang Xianggong has little combat experience, what famous general did not start as an ordinary military officer? ”
After another period of perfunctory, Helan Jinming's face changed.
"Does the doctor still think that such a patchwork of men and horses can be compared to the local army fighting the rebels in Lianghuai?"
"How not?"
Qin Jin didn't want to argue with Helan Jinming about this boring incident, so he nodded intentionally or unintentionally to prove that he didn't intend to argue completely.
Helan Jinming saw that Qin Jin just kept shaking his head and nodding, he was already sweating profusely, if the other party didn't listen to the lobbying, wouldn't those dumb people have to be cold?
Thinking of this, Helan Jinming said:
If Doctor Qin doesn't believe it, his subordinates dare to make a bet and swear, and the military report of Fang Xianggong's defeat will be delivered to Chang'an immediately. ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man quietly entered the hall and whispered a few words to Qin Jin's side. At this point, the originally slightly flushed look on Qin Jin's face had completely disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
In fact, Qin Jin also more or less assumed Fang Xuan's tactics and opponent's situation, and the probability of defeat and victory only accounted for 20 percent. This seems to be a low number, but Qin Jin woke up several times, and Helan Jinming was immediately alert, knowing that he had failed to hit the key point of Qin Jin, and he was still incomplete, so how could he have the energy to do other things now?
Until he confirmed that Helan Jinming's words were not child's play, Qin Jin seemed to have a smile on his face.
"Aren't you unfounded?"
Halfway through his words, Qin Jin unceremoniously interrupted him.
Helan Jinming still wanted to distinguish a few words, but the old man of the Qin Mansion stepped into the hall with a vigorous step.
Not all of the elders of the new mansion in Yongjiafang were the original team before the Qin Mansion of Shengyefang was burned down, and many of them belonged to the dowry of the eldest princess of Shou'an, in other words, the old man in front of Qin Jin was a eunuch brought out of the palace. It's just that it can also be seen that the one who followed the eldest princess of Shou'an to the Qin Mansion was a eunuch who was not very old.
Helan Jinming also quickly discovered that this was a middle-aged man with no beard, and after thinking about it, he figured out the true identity of this family elder. However, he didn't plan to say anything, because it was not easy to ask to see Qin Jin once, and today it was finally his turn, so how could he give up easily?
Qin Jin listened to the whisper, and almost knocked over the tea bowl in his hand, but the hot tea in it was still spilled everywhere, on the bookcase, and on the placket, making him look quite embarrassed.
"You repeat, who, who lost?"
"The doctor now knows what his subordinates are right, right?"
Qin Jin's voice was not deliberately suppressed, so Helan Jinming heard it clearly, so he also asked this question.
The beardless old man replied with a blank face:
"It's a secret news from the palace, Fang Xianggong was defeated, and people still don't know life and death, after the Son of Heaven learned the news, he was in a hurry and had fainted. Now I hear that the Son of Heaven has woken up and is fine, it is really Amitabha Buddha......"
Qin Jin only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, he really couldn't imagine that Fang Xuan had been defeated so miserably and so completely. Just a few days ago, Fang Xuan also sent a messenger back to inform the Son of Heaven and the government and the opposition that the army had arrived at Luoyang City, and it was only a matter of time before it was recovered. But now that defeat is defeat, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion and question the authenticity of the military report. Qin Jin's state of mind at this time was like this, and he suddenly found that Helan Jinming's seemingly exaggerated analysis made some sense after thinking about it carefully, and he had to admit it:
"The defeat of Fang Xianggong, Qin didn't expect it, but the Son of Heaven vomited blood and fainted, I'm afraid that someone with a heart deliberately made it up, you spread it falsely, right?"
The beardless old man shook his head like a merchant's drum.
"No, no, no, this is by no means a rumor, someone in the palace has seen it with their own eyes, even the prime minister of the political hall has eaten at the palace gate and can't see the Son of Heaven!"
This news made Qin Jin's heart tremble again, he was keenly aware that maybe the Son of Heaven vomited blood and fainted was true, and maybe some people should take this opportunity to make waves again.
"Doctor, is it going to enter the palace at this time?
Qin Jin looked at Helan Jinming with some doubts, this person really guessed his mind.
"If the prime minister can't see the Son of Heaven, someone must be obstructing him, how can Qin Mouyou sit idly by!"
"Even if the doctor goes, what can he do? Do you still want to lead the troops to break open the palace gate? The following officials suggested that the doctor should not even stay in the city at this time, but go to the army in the North Forbidden Garden as soon as possible to deal with the unexpected at any time. There is Cui Xianggong in the center, although he can't see the Son of Heaven, but some people want to make waves, but they can't get around him!"
Qin Jin once again had to admit that Helan Jinming's suggestion was indeed reasonable, and in fact, he himself had no better way to deal with this sudden change.
"Okay, let's go back to the barracks, Helan envoy Jun and Qin Mou will go with you!"
Qin Jin's words of invitation undoubtedly expressed his acceptance to Helan Jinming, who was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was silent.
"It is more beneficial for the doctor to stay in the city, and at the critical moment, it can help the doctor communicate with the king of Guangping!"
"Well, yes, that's exactly what you say. ”
Qin Jin had two important aids in Chang'an City, one of which was Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan, who obeyed his words. The second is the King of Guangping, who has the reality of a prince and does not have the name of a prince. Although King Guangping did not belong to the temperance of Qin and Jin, the two not only had a harmonious relationship, but also had many points of convergence of interests.
On the other hand, Qin Jin and Helan Jinming are still at the point where they are in a shallow relationship, and many collective discussions involving key matters cannot be rashly stuffed into this person, which will only make the inside of the Shenwu Army jump with chickens and dogs, and they are deeply wary of Helan Jinming, an outsider.
After Qin Jin gave a brief explanation to Helan Jinming, he took more than 100 followers out of Yongjiafang. He planned to leave the city through the east gate, then circle around the city wall, and finally arrive at the Shenwu Army's military camp in the North Forbidden Garden.
Who knows, just out of the gate of Yongjiafang, I encountered a horse team galloping. Since Qin Jin moved into Yongjiafang, Yongjiafang seems to have returned to its former bustle and prosperity, so who dares to openly bring people and horses to Yongjiafang? You know, even though Yongjiafang is still a private house, but the current Emperor Taishang has set a rule early in the morning, all the houses in Yongjiafang belong to the royal palace, in other words, the ministers only have a little power to live.
When today's son was very fond of Princess Shou'an, he handed over the house of Yongjiafang to the princess.
From now on, Yongjiafang will be inhabited by Qin Jin and the eldest princess, a pair of dignitaries and dignitaries, how dare the forbidden army patrolling the city take it lightly?
