Qin Jin had long known the content of the edict carried by the angel, which was no secret at the top of the Shenwu Army, except for Luoyang, who would be named the Duke of Jin. As a big country and a prince, this is obviously a very heavy reward. However, such a heavy reward does not bode well.

Therefore, there was a debate in the Shenwu Army about whether to accept the edict or not.

Among them, some people believe that they should receive the edict, and once Qin and Jin take office in Luoyang, they will justifiably control the military and political affairs of Dugi Province, coupled with the respect of the Duke of Jin, which is even more prestigious. In addition, there are also some people who believe that if the imperial court only crowns Qin and Jin as the Duke of Jin, it is understandable to receive the edict. But this Luoyang is unacceptable, heavy ministers, heavy power, and heavy soldiers, this is the rhythm that makes it difficult for Qin and Jin to get along with the imperial court.

Of the two arguments, the latter accounted for the vast majority, and today's topic is also to solve this trouble faced by Qin Jin.

In fact, the situation has developed so far, and even a fool can see that with the continuous expansion of the strength and prestige of the Shenwu Army, it has long become a trend that cannot be lost. And the imperial court, out of instinct, will inevitably try to weaken or even cut off the threat posed by the Shenwu army. And this edict containing evil intentions is the bait that the imperial court throws out the first step to tempt.

The ministers like Yan Zhuang and Da Xixun naturally had no choice but to stand firmly on the side of Qin and Jin to have a way out. And the imperial court in Chang'an is impossible to point. Fang Xuan, who stayed in Luoyang as the prime minister, was relatively complicated, this person was originally Qin Jin's mortal enemy, but now he has changed one hundred and eighty degrees and has become Qin Jin's indispensable assistant.

Regarding Qin Jin's choice, after all, it does not rely on public conspiracy, and such a discussion will not lead to results. There were too many things in the army that needed to wait for them to deal with, so they were quickly dismissed by Qin Jin one by one, but Fang Xuan remained. He is in charge of the private affairs in the city, and he does not need to coordinate the handling of military affairs, so why does he have a set of procedures.

Qin Jin walked out of the political hall with a heavy heart, but Fang Xuan called him from behind.

"The old man still has a word, I wonder if the doctor is willing to listen to it?"

Qin Jin had been waiting for Fang Xuan to make a statement, so he replied:

"Xianggong said that is, Qin is willing to hear about it!"

Fang Xuan cleared his throat, as if he was muttering how to speak, and after a while, he whispered:

"Have you ever thought that since the cards of the imperial court will be spread out sooner or later, is it the most suitable choice to hide?"

His question was much beyond Qin Jin's expectations, and others only advised him to avoid the edict of the Son of Heaven to avoid a head-on conflict with the imperial court, but Fang Xuan did the opposite, not only did not recommend hiding, but also took the edict justifiably. In the Shenwu army, a group led by Pei Jing persuaded Qin Jin to accept the edict, and Fang Xuan coincided with them.

"Pei Jing also persuaded me to do so, but Qin has no ambitions, so don't you have to roast on the fire?"

Pei Jing sent someone to send a secret letter with an expedited eight hundred li, persuading him to take the edict no matter what, and when the time comes, Pei's children will unswervingly stand on his side.

In this way, many trends have deviated from Qin Jin's assumptions, and in his view, it is not too late to wait until the counterinsurgency is successful before a showdown. Now is the critical moment to cross the river north and make the final blow, but he is forced to make a statement. It's really hard to choose, and if you make a wrong move, it will be a situation where every step is wrong, and you have to take it very seriously.

Qin Jin looked directly into Fang Xuan's eyes, trying to find out his true intentions from his eyes, but Fang Xuan was an old official who had been immersed in officialdom for nearly thirty years, how could he be easily seen through his mind?

Of course, Fang Xuan could also see the entanglement and hesitation in Qin Jin's heart, so he further said:

"Why don't you think about it differently, the generals of the Shenwu Army are all glorious and glorious with the doctor, and the other is lost, if the doctor hesitates and is cowardly, wouldn't he push these people outside?"

Regardless of friendship and tendencies, Fang Xuan made the most practical choice and only talked about the interests and disadvantages. Sure enough, a word woke up the dreamer, Qin Jin was only thinking about how to avoid a showdown with the imperial court before, but he ignored one point, that is, the generals of the Shenwu Army may not all think about it.

Qin Jin had the memories of another life, so he naturally had a lot more knowledge than the people of the time, and after thinking about a lot of lessons from the past, he suddenly realized that it was really not a good way to avoid Hedong. This will only cause confusion within the Shenwu Army, and may even make the estrangement between the various factions obvious.

However, Qin Jin still couldn't figure it out, Fang Xuan, as the head of the prime minister, although he was guilty of sin, what reason did he have to remind himself of this?

Seeing Qin Jin's puzzled gaze, without waiting for him to ask, Fang Xuan explained with a wry smile:

"The doctor is surprised why the old man did this?"

Qin Jin didn't deny it, nodded, and calmly waited for Fang Xuan's answer.

"Without it, it is only because what should come must come, and since the problems that should be faced must be faced sooner or later, it is better to be sooner or later. Besides, the old man is not a pedantic person, if he really has this heart, he would have apologized for his sins as early as the day of the defeat of Luoyang, why did he survive to this day?"

Now it's time to dissect the traces of his heart, Fang Xuan's method is really sophisticated, first move Qin Jin with benefits, and then state his position, and grasp the change in Qin Jin's thinking just right.

At this time, Qin Jin really saw Fang Xuan clearly, this is a person who understands current affairs, and it is obvious that he can see that he is needed more than the imperial court itself and the Shenwu Army, and can give him a better chance to show his strengths. Because as long as he returns to Chang'an, no matter how many reasons Fang Xuan can come up with, the imperial court must investigate the crime of losing the defeated army, otherwise there will be no clear rewards and punishments.

In the Shenwu Army and Qin Jin, they don't need to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments on Fang Xuan's body, and Fang Xuan is of great use in dealing with the private sector, so he will naturally treat each other well.

Compared with the two, Fang Xuan can make this choice for a valid reason.

It's just that Fang Xuan's statement is not explicit, it sounds plausible, and it can only be understood. This is also his sophisticated and oily side. Qin Jin didn't care about these details, countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment. Because he had already been moved by what Fang Xuan had just said.

……

Li 13 was a tired son in Luoyang City, and he was originally not qualified to be incorporated into the private sector in the city, so a displaced person like him, who had no permanent property, was to be sent to work in a coolie camp outside the city according to the rules, and after half a year, he could be selected to join the private sector.

However, this is an era when money can make ghosts grind, and he bought a false photo at the price of 100 gold, and opened up the officials in charge of household registration in Henan Fuzhong to successfully retain the privilege of staying in the city.

However, with his knowledge, it was extremely difficult to do this matter so perfectly, thinking of this, even Li Si himself had to admit that he had met a nobleman. Although he only knows that this noble man is an elder surnamed Fan, he is a very righteous person and is willing to repay the same thing.

"Fourth brother, the strange man you are talking about is the rickety old man?"

A stocky man who followed Li Si pointed to the old man not far away, only to see the old man hunched his back and his hair was already gray like snow.

"You know a fart, don't you know the truth of not judging people by their appearance? If it weren't for this man threading the needle through it, you and my brother probably wouldn't know when we would be able to meet again in this life!"

This stocky man was originally the son-in-law of a wealthy family in Luoyang City, named Hu Xiqian, the old man died of fear and fright when An Lushan entered the city, and he naturally inherited the position of the head of the family and the great inheritance. And Li Si, a tired man, is a ranger-like figure in ancient times in his eyes, and he makes friends with him with all his admiration.

Li Si's 100 gold for buying all joints was made by this person.

"Let's open it, the old man is the secret envoy of the Emperor of Dayan, and the two of you are willing to be the ministers of Kuang Fu Sheji?"

With that, a pair of small eyes flashed with fluttering light, and roamed back and forth between the two of them.

Li Si and Hu Xiqian's reactions were different, the former gasped in his heart, although he was mentally prepared to repay, but he never thought of entrusting him with his life. However, now it is equivalent to being put on the knife mountain, if he doesn't obey, the other party may go to report it, so I don't know how much trouble is waiting for him. The latter seemed to be timid, but at this time he was very excited, these adventures, he had only seen in books before, and he did not expect to participate in them one day, so he was dancing with some hands.

Li Si's eyes gradually showed killing intent, and after weighing, he felt that it would be more in his interests to kill this old man surnamed Fan.

However, the old man surnamed Fan seemed to have seen through Li Si's thoughts.

"Li Yan, since the old man can come and go freely in the city, there are countless means to fulfill his promise, what are you hesitating about?"

These words were neither yin nor yang, but Li Si was shocked and trembled, this is Ming Huanghuang's warning, Li Yan is the identity he bought, as long as the Shenwu Army is in power from now on, he must live with this identity.

"The younger brother is willing to be driven by the fourth brother, but if there is a request, he will obey his fate!"

Li Si glanced at Hu Xiqian, and said in his heart that this guy is also stupid and ridiculous, doesn't he know that with this old thing, it is very likely that his family will be ruined? He secretly gritted his teeth, anyway, he has no relatives and no reason, and he has no worries in this world, so he will gamble on the big deal.

"Li Si is willing to listen to the drive!"

He had long expected that Li Si would succumb, and a satisfied smile appeared on Fan Changming's face.

"The first task is to strive to be a centurion in the private sector, and the old man will do his best to help in secret. ”

"Huh?"

Li Si didn't expect that this was his first task, it seemed simple, he asked himself if he had any other skills, but he had a very good set of gathering people's hearts.

I have been joining the private sector for some time, and I have learned a lot about the operation of the private sector, except for the commander above the commander who is appointed by the Shenwu Army, and the centurion and below are elected by one person and one vote.

Fan Changming nodded with a smile, then turned around to leave, but Hu Xiqian was so anxious that he couldn't help asking:

"What about me, what about me?"

Fan Changming leaned on his back, did not look back, and left only one sentence:

"Don't let down the old man's expectations!"
