Chapter 148: The sword is difficult to unsheath

The next morning, the atmosphere in the Shengye Fang was like a festival, Princess Shou An and Fan Su returned to the mansion, and in order to dispel the bad luck, they distributed gifts to all the passers-by in the shop. Of course, the vast majority of the people who received the gifts were slaves and miscellaneous servants in the houses in the house, and the owner of each house was Princess Shou'an, who personally instructed the housekeeper to come to the door with a name card to give the gifts.

For Princess Shou'an, who grew up in the deep palace since childhood, it was like having no teacher, saving Qin Jin a lot of energy, otherwise he really needed to take care of him, Fan Su is a woman with a weak personality, plus she was born in a small family, and her aura is much weaker, and she doesn't like to ask about things with the outside world, so it is logical that everything inside and outside the Qin Mansion will be taken care of by Princess Shou'an.

Putting aside family matters, even if Qin Jin moved back to live in the mansion, he would not go home until midnight, and he left the mansion in a hurry before the sun came out, and the time to see his family in a day was pitiful.

Of course, Qin Jin's busyness was not deliberate, but there were too many things to deal with.

Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi both heard the news of the princess's assassination, so they rushed to the Shenwu Military Marshal Hall to inquire. Qin Jin didn't hide it from these two, so he said bluntly:

"The arrest of Princess Changle and the concubine is making a lot of noise in Chang'an City, and it is also rumored that the couple is related to the assassination of Princess Shou'an, this matter is indeed true, but the person who really wants to assassinate is not the princess, but Qin!"

When Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi saw that the rumors were confirmed, they were immediately shocked into a cold sweat. If Qin Jin was stabbed to death or seriously injured at this moment, it would be an incomparably heavy blow to the situation that had just stabilized.

Xia Yuanji's old body was actually soaked in a heavy cold sweat, he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and trembled and persuaded:

"The doctor always loves the white dragon fish suit, it was like this when he led the troops, and now he is still like this when he doesn't lead the troops, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the doctor in this Chang'an City? These eyes are exposed, there is kindness and malice, if you don't guard against it, the consequences are likely to be unimaginable! For the sake of the Tang Dynasty's social plan, Doctor Qin must not be like this in the future!"

His persuasion is indeed from the bottom of his heart, he is old, especially after the fourth year of Zhide into the spring, he always feels that his energy is not good, it is impossible to think about the energy as before, once Mount Tai collapses in front, he does not have the ability to turn the tide, and he is likely to be torn to pieces.

It is precisely because of this that no one wants political stability more than Xia Yuanji. Xia Yuanji glanced at the fifth Qi beside him, the fifth Qi was young and strong, and he was very solid in his work, but he lost the power technique, because his mind was too focused on some specific government affairs, so he also gave up the balance of power and art to a certain extent.

In other words, if someone on the top of the Fifth Qi shields him from the wind and rain, he will definitely be able to make impressive political achievements, but if he is allowed to grasp the power and government affairs, I am afraid that he will lose very ugly.

At this point, in Xia Yuanji's view, Qin Jin is an almost all-powerful person, who can not only lead troops to fight, but also has unique insights and understanding of specific government affairs, even if people in the industry with many years of experience want to fool him, it is very difficult. The most rare point is that this person has only been in the officialdom for less than ten years, and his methods are as sophisticated and ruthless as those of an old man with thirty or fifty years of experience.

Just looking at how Qin Jin dealt with the Son of Heaven, it was enough to see it.

Fifth Qi's focus is completely different from Xia Yuanji's, he is concerned about the assassination of the princess and Qin Jin's tomb mastermind, whether those people have already surrendered to the law?

Qin Jin shook his head solemnly.

"This matter involves a wide range of people, I am afraid it is not limited to people living in Chang'an, all kinds of evidence are realistic, Princess Changle and the concubine have a very close relationship with an important person in Hexi!

As soon as the three words of the waste prince came out, another layer of cold sweat appeared on Xia Yuanji's body.

"The doctor said that the abolished prince, but when he is the eldest son of today's son?"

Qin Jin nodded expressionlessly, indicating acquiescence.

Xia Yuanji involuntarily lowered his voice and asked:

"How much evidence is there to be sure?"

This time, Qin Jin shook his head again, all the evidence was confessions that could be called chasing after the wind and shadows, and there was nothing substantial to point to the fact that the abolished prince Li Yu really existed.

Therefore, in dealing with this matter, he has a completely different attitude from Yan Zhuang, which not only attaches importance to it, but cannot be announced to the public. Originally, Qin Jin also planned to find a time to explain the inside story to the two prime ministers in detail in the past few days, but now that they have taken the initiative to mention it, they can talk to them in detail.

Fifth Qi immediately suggested:

"Since the mastermind of this matter is still inseparable from the heirs of the Son of Heaven, it is better to launch an investigation among the princes, I believe that as long as you are willing to investigate, you will definitely be able to find out the clue!"

This suggestion made Qin Jin's eyes suddenly brighten, and before he could express his approval, he listened to the fifth Qi and said:

"I'm afraid that the matter in Hexi is not groundless, and Anxi's troubles may also be inseparable from Hexi. As a matter of urgency, the subordinates suggested that this matter should not be viewed as a mere case of assassination, and that there must be corresponding measures to deal with it both internally and externally!"

These suggestions are also what Qin Jin has been considering, but he doesn't have a clear idea, and now that he said it through the mouth of the Fifth Qi, he also had a feeling that his eyes suddenly lit up.

"If the fifth minister has any suggestions, you may wish to tell me in detail!"

So, Fifth Qi concisely stated his thoughts. Broadly speaking, it is divided into two points.

First, in Hexi, it is necessary to appoint a special person to take charge of important military and political affairs, and at the necessary moment, it is necessary to be ready to go to Anxi's aid. At the same time, the candidates for the envoys of the Hexi Jiedu must also be reconsidered, and the previously agreed Li Guangbi or Lai Yao are not suitable, and their attitudes towards the Shenwu Army are quite ambiguous and unclear, and once they are released to control the military and political power of the border towns, the consequences may be to add chaos to chaos.

Second, it's time for another purge in Chang'an City, but this time it's the royal family.

Since the Shenwu army conquered Chang'an and the Qin and Jin dynasties took over the government, in order to avoid criticism, the Li Tang clan was treated more favorably than ever, in addition to returning a large amount of land, it also confirmed its various privileges. Perhaps because of this, many people feel fluttering and think that Qin Jin is weak and can be bullied.

"......As long as Doctor Qin can deter the crowd in one fell swoop, there will be no more blatant opposition in Chang'an City......"

Xia Yuanji, who was on the side, pursed his lips slightly, obviously he didn't agree, but he wouldn't rashly oppose it.

Qin Jin pondered for a while, and felt that although Fifth Qi's suggestion was a bit extreme, it was obviously to the point in dealing with Hexi.

"According to what the Fifth Prime Minister can see, who is safer to go out of Hexi?"

Zhou Mi, who is now temporarily in charge of the authority, is obviously not a suitable candidate, but for a while, he thought about many candidates, but he still couldn't make a decision.

Whether it is Pei Jing, Lu Qi or Yang Xingben who is far away in Luoyang, they all shoulder irreplaceable responsibilities. It can be said that all the focus of the Shenwu Army before this was aimed at Shi Siming in Hebei. Although Shi Siming's feint has stopped now, and the feint attack on Henan has been completely aborted, it is impossible to change or cancel all the arrangements until Shi Shi's Pang army is completely wiped out.

As long as the wheat harvest season comes, the supplies of the army do not have to be transported thousands of miles from Guanzhong or the official warehouses in Jianghuai, but can be eaten on the spot. In this way, the time has come to attack Hebei.

In fact, with the current strength of the Shenwu Army, even if it attacks Hebei under the financial pressure of the deficit, it will not be a problem at all to hold out for three or two years. However, Qin Jin was more inclined to fight steadily, and under the situation of not affecting the current financial situation as much as possible, he calmly crushed the past with a large army.

In fact, the reason why An Lushan was able to drive straight to Luoyang in the 14th year of Tianbao was ostensibly because the organizational efficiency of governments at all levels in various parts of the Tang Dynasty became extremely inefficient, and the military strategy was typical of the external emphasis on the internal light, and the fundamental reasons could not be summarized in one or two points. After all, it was the combined force of various factors that gave An Lushan and Shi Siming a chance.

Now, Qin and Jin are committed to correcting the past shortcomings one by one, from the land population to the military system, they have been improved and strengthened to a certain extent. After more than half a year of recuperation, although the results have not yet been seen, as long as the first year shows results, it will take three or five years of effort, and it will become just around the corner to return to the right track from the imperial court to the locality.

As for Shi Siming, who is trapped in Hebei, except for the great drought last year, this year's harvest, whether good or bad, can only survive and survive the battle of trapped beasts, and with the consumption of time, it will become weaker and weaker.

"The subordinate has a suitable candidate, but I don't know if the doctor dares to use it!"

"Who?"

"Feng Changqing!"

These three words made Qin Jin's heart pound, but he felt strange and distant.

Feng Changqing is one of the only surviving Tianbao famous generals, according to previous intelligence, after he refused to enter Beijing to suffer death and turned north, he only led less than a thousand followers in Yunzhong and Youzhou to frequently harass the rebels with the method of raiding, although Lu Qi was ordered to give him a lot of funding when he was in Hedong, but after all, he had to take care of some opposition forces in the DPRK and China, so the help was limited.

Now, Qin Jin has personally taken over the power of the imperial court, and he no longer has to worry about the conspiracy of some people. Since there are no more miscellaneous worries, why not unsheath this immortal treasure knife again? However, the doubts of the imperial court are gone, but the doubts about Feng Changqing himself have been replaced......
