Chapter 343: Bing Feng refers to Chang'an
"Idiot, aren't you messy enough? Don't forget your duty, I can send you back to the political hall, and I can kick you out!"
The sudden outburst frightened Yang Guozhong, he had never seen the Son of Heaven so angry.
"The minister is dull, stupid, the minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare!"
"Don't you dare? I see how dare you be, dare to use the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty to fill your own selfish desires, if you don't dare, don't you have to really give this clothes to you to be worthy of daring?"
The more Li Longji said it, the more mean he became, and the more he said it, the more explicit it it became, and Yang Guozhong didn't dare to make any other excuses except lying on the ground and saying "The minister is guilty!" again and again.
Until this moment, Yang Guozhong regretted his desire for profit, and calculated the Son of Heaven's dissatisfaction with Qin Jin and the murderous intent born from dissatisfaction, how could he forget the Son of Heaven's jealousy of Qin Jin's erected son?
That's right, Yang Guozhong clearly felt the jealousy of the Son of Heaven towards Qin Jin. In fact, it's no wonder that he was careless, Li Longji is a son of heaven who won the throne by virtue of two coups, and he has sat on the throne of the emperor for more than 40 years.
As for An Lushan and Qin Jin, Yang Guozhong smiled bitterly, these two people are not afraid of today, they are nothing more than they have forced them into a desperate situation. Even rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention the fierce generals who were originally leading the troops?
Of course, he can only bury these thoughts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to confide in the outside world word by word, otherwise what awaits him will not only be expelled from the political hall, I am afraid that the entire Yang family will suffer because of this.
All of this stems from a foundation, that is, a powerful imperial court and an iron-fisted Son of Heaven. The above two points are the most important part of all Yang Guozhong's planning. However, Yang Guozhong was desperate to find out at this time that he had overestimated the court and the Son of Heaven.
** In front of An Lushan's rebels, it was so fragile that even the eastern capital Luoyang fell into the hands of thieves within a month. The Son of Heaven was not the Son of Heaven who was decisive in killing and killing at the beginning, and the Son of Heaven was actually frightened by Qin Jin, who was born as a mere official.
So, what is the significance of his so-called plans? The situation is chaotic and the stalls are scattered? If the Son of Heaven and the imperial court do not have the ability to turn things around, will he not be stealing chickens and not losing rice? No, not only will the rice be eroded, but even he himself will probably get into it.
"Why don't you speak? If you really need a prime minister who can only say guilty, why use you, who is already infamous?
Yang Guozhong suddenly heard the sound of the Son of Heaven again, maybe the Son of Heaven had no intention of punishing him, and the scolding just now was just an emotional vent.
"Minister, minister thinks that the Chang'an forbidden army should be immediately transferred to take the initiative to attack and destroy the thieves outside Chang'an. Then, he ordered Qin Jin to lead the Shenwu Army to cooperate with the Chang'an Forbidden Army, flanking and flanking ......"
After getting Yang Guozhong's stammering answer, Li Longji's face had a hint of relief.
"Finally, I still have some brains, so let's issue an edict immediately!"
……
The edict of the Son of Heaven arrived in Fengyi County, and Qin Jin gladly received the order and marched to the Xinfeng area with all the Shenwu army.
On the way, Qin Jin once wrote a letter of 10,000 words to the emperor, bluntly saying that it is better to appease the fugitives who rebelled in Guanzhong than to kill them, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jin sent two 10,000-word letters to Chang'an like a stone in the sea, and did not get any news.
When the Shenwu Army was marching out, Changshi Yanlun asked for orders to follow the expedition, which in his opinion was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show loyalty.
Qin Jin's Book of Ten Thousand Words didn't get any response twice, and Yan Lun finally couldn't help but say his opinion.
If these words come from the court's virtuous ministers, the Son of Heaven will gladly agree, and if they come from the words of the envoy, even if it is a good medicine, it will definitely be discarded. ”
Yan Lun has repeatedly said amazing words since that day, so that Qin Jin has developed a certain degree of immunity, and it is not strange to hear such sensational words in his mouth from now on. At this moment, for the first time, he completely agreed with Yan Lun's speculation.
After being reminded, Qin Jin regretted that the book of ten thousand words was uploaded by himself, if it was entrusted to others...... It's a pity that the facts can't be assumed, and what happened can't be reversed, so we can only take one step at a time.
Qin Jin did not sympathize with the lives of the tens of thousands of fugitives, since they had chosen the path of rebellion, they should be aware of the consequences of doing so. He is just worried that once the fugitives are dealt with ruthlessly, it will arouse the sadness of the rabbit and the fox in the hearts of more and more fugitives, and increase the hostility towards the imperial court.
Just when Qin Jin had almost forgotten about the Book of Ten Thousand Words, an edict from the Son of Heaven suddenly arrived in the Shenwu Army.
In the edict, it affirmed the opinion that it was better to be appeased than killed, and agreed that Qin Jin would send people to do the temptation, and if they could make them return to Tang anyway, it would be an excellent way.
When the eunuch announced the resignation of the edict, Yan Lun, who was following behind Qin Jin, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, remembering the words he had sworn in front of Qin Envoy the day before, he couldn't help but have blood surging and his face flushed.
Qin and Jin handed over all the contacts with the fugitive rebels to Lu Qi, and he knew that Lu Qi and the fugitives were inextricably linked, and it was not difficult to establish effective contacts.
After the initial contact, the expansion of the fugitive rebels made Qin Jin frightened. Although these people said that they could descend to the Tang Dynasty, they wanted to govern the places as princes in Shuofang, Longyou, and even in the land of several counties in Hedong.
Qin Jin knew very well that Li Longji would never agree to this kind of condition of splitting the earth and sealing the marquis, and even if Li Longji agreed, the ministers would not agree.
In fact, the ideal condition of the Qin and Jin dynasties was to reorganize these rebellious fugitives into the river engineering camp, and the main rebel generals were rewarded according to the practice of the imperial court, and everything was happy. But the human heart is often like this, and if the greed is not satisfied, there are countless jokes about snakes swallowing elephants.
Yan Lun gave full play to his expertise at this time and spoke to Qin Jin.
"At this time, bargaining with a traitor is like a businessman, asking for a price to pay back on the spot. What they put forward must not be the final bottom line, as long as the forbidden army can win a few battles, then we are not in a hurry, it will be their turn to be in a hurry!"
In this regard, Qin Jin deeply believes that war and peace have always been like this, only if they can fight can they make peace, otherwise peace will definitely be the result of losing power and humiliating the country.
"You might as well stop and watch, the people are killed ruthlessly, it is not good for the Shenwu Army or Feng Yi!"
In this regard, Qin Jin still thought so, and the army stopped ten miles east of Xinfeng.
Unexpectedly, after only one day's work, a war report suddenly came back from the west of Xinfeng.
The forbidden army that took the initiative to attack the fugitives from Chang'an to the east was actually defeated, and lost two battles in a row, and the rebels fought and grew, swelling to more than 100,000 people in ten days, and the front of the army had already arrived under the city of Chang'an.
This result exceeded everyone's expectations. It is simply unbelievable that a group of rabble can defeat the forbidden army after the reorganization of the guards of the north and south in two consecutive times.
For this reason, the county magistrate Shi Yanlun has fallen into a laughing stock in the Shenwu army, as long as he dares to assert something, it will definitely develop in the opposite direction.
The successive assertion failures made Yan Lun suffer a heavy blow, and he only felt that he couldn't raise his head in front of Qin Jin. At this time, what he was thinking about was not to become the confidant of the county guard, but how to step down with dignity. Yan Lun, who is well versed in the way of officialdom, knows very well that after a series of scandals, no matter who is the county guard, there is absolutely no possibility of reusing himself.
For this reason, Yan Lun specially took the lead in asking Qin Jin for his guilt in order to get forgiveness.
When Qin Jin saw that Yan Lun was depressed, he knew why he was like this.
"Why is Yan Changshi depressed?"
"The humble man has spoken falsely several times, resulting in ......"
Only halfway through the words, Yan Lun's dignified seven-foot man couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
Originally, Qin Jin just wanted to make a joke with him, but he didn't want this person's self-esteem to be beyond imagination, so he had to comfort him with kind words:
"Those are the original, and you can't blame you, make suggestions, if you do it right every time, you are not a person, you are a demon!"
Unexpectedly, the scolding did not appear, but he was comforted by the kind words of the young county guard, and Yan Lun's pain of three points of truth and seven points of falsehood was seven points true.
The performance of the rebels was astonishing, but in the eyes of the Shenwu army, it was not a big deal. Originally, there were only two main forces in the forbidden army of the North and South Ya, one was the Shenwu Army and the other was the Longwu Army. Since the Son of Heaven took the Longwu Army and drove away the Shenwu Army, the forbidden army of the North and South Ya has been a group of rabble who eat and wait for death.
It is not surprising that such a rabble cannot defeat the fugitive rebels who have the will to die.
Several lieutenants, who had always been more aggressive, asked to lead the troops into battle several times in a row, so that the greedy fugitives knew who the real forbidden army was.
Even if the Shenwu Army left Chang'an, it still had the pride of this forbidden army.
Including Lu Qi, he also felt that he had to teach the fugitive rebels some lessons, otherwise they would be allowed to sit on their laurels.
Qin Jin's thoughts were the opposite of everyone else's.
"Wait and see, Chang'an is the Tang Xijing after all, and it is impossible for the fugitives to take advantage of it easily. ”
Lu Qi and others said that the forbidden army in Chang'an is a rabble, and if they are defeated, wouldn't they let these greedy fugitives pick peaches in vain?
Qin Jin laughed, "Don't forget, there is still an elite army of Longyou in Chang'an that has never been in battle!"
After Qin Jin's reminder, everyone remembered that the leader who had always existed in Chang'an in a low-key manner was the Divine Ce Army!
The Shence Army has been fighting against the Tubo people in Longyou for many years, and in terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that it will not lose to the Shenwu Army, and the rebel army composed of those fugitives, even if they dare to die, will definitely not be the opponent of the battle-hardened Shence Army!
