Chapter 672: A dispute arises in the court

Although Li Fuguo really wanted Qin Jin to go abroad as a general, he would never want the Son of Heaven to make such a suggestion in front of Qin Jin, after all, the consensus in the Tang Dynasty officialdom at this time was that only staying at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an was the best result. This is an outcome that no important minister wants.

For example, Fang Xuan, although he won a game with Qin Jin, but once he left Chang'an, he was beyond the reach of the changes in the political situation in Chang'an.

Li Heng asked Li Fuguo who should be the right general, but Li Fuguo was reserved and did not answer, only said:

"The slave and maid also said, as for who His Majesty plans to send, he doesn't have the ability to look at people!"

Li Heng smiled and said:

"General humility!"

Li Heng didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, so he swept his gaze to the people in the Ganlu Palace.

"Do you have a suitable candidate?"

At this time, Li Heng seemed to have regained his previous composure, but Qin Jin could clearly see the worry in his eyes, but he was forcibly suppressed and concealed. In fact, Li Heng's psychological quality and his father Li Longji must not be good, although he has more than ten years of depressed career as a prince, and has cultivated a city that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, but this psychological quality is born after all, even if he deliberately restrains himself, it is difficult to achieve it without a trace.

Qin Jin is meaningless at all, Li Lan can succeed, Yan Jingzhi's beheading is definitely not the whole of the situation in Jiangnan, he believes that as long as Gao Shi arrives on the riverbank, he will immediately integrate all walks of life in the name of Huainan Jiedu Envoy, and form a situation of encirclement of Li Lan, and at that time, the advantage will be completely on the side of the imperial court.

However, this is all speculation after all, and it is difficult to convince the public if there is no fact to base it. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to speak, just waiting for others to express their opinions.

As the prime minister, Cui Jian naturally couldn't help but speak, and after he muttered for a while, he said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should wait for Gao Shi's military report, if Gao Shi reverses the situation, this is also a false alarm!"

"What if the military report of the high degree is delayed?"

"This ......"

Li Heng's rhetorical question made Cui Lian speechless, the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can he pack a ticket Gao Shi will definitely have a military report soon, and it is a good news?

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Wei Fangjin spoke. Qin Jin looked at him in surprise, although he was also thinking, but Wei Fangjin had already semi-retired posture, and he rarely interfered in the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and he didn't even say a word, why did he speak today?

Li Heng originally had no hope for Wei Fangjin, in his eyes Wei Fangjin was just a speculator who swayed on the wall, and he kept him in the position of prime minister entirely because he had made great contributions in the First Battle of Chang'an, and it was not good to do everything he could.

"Does Wei Qing have any suggestions?"

"The old minister thinks that King Yong will be defeated, so why should Your Majesty mess with himself?"

"Is there any basis for Wei Xianggong's words?"

Li Fuguo asked on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

"According to?"

Wei Fangjin suddenly smiled, turned his gaze to Qin Jin, and said slowly:

"Because Gao Jiedu is the person recommended by Dr. Qin, he will win!"

"W-what's the point?"

Li Fuguo couldn't imagine that the dignified prime minister would say such a non-standard remark, but when it came to Qin and Jin, he couldn't refute it more, so he had to be vague.

Unexpectedly, Wei Fangjin actually said again:

"Your Majesty, the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, since Dr. Qin entered Beijing, can the people recommended by Doctor Qin have any merits? Have you ever achieved nothing in what you have done, and have you ever been defeated in a battle?"

"This ......"

Only then did everyone in the Ganlu Hall understand why Wei Fangjin said this, and felt that this statement was really absurd, but when they recalled it carefully, they couldn't help but be stunned. Because they couldn't find a case that could refute Wei Fangjin's rhetorical question!

Cui Lian gasped, when Wei Fangjin didn't remind him, he never thought about it, and now that he thinks about it, it's really like this. For example, several fierce generals in the Shenwu Army, Pei Jing, Lu Qi, and Yang Xingben were all sons and daughters of cockfighting lackeys in Chang'an City three years ago. But in this short period of three years, all of them have been reborn and become the pillars of the country that can be on their own. Even the current Megatron Shenwu Army was just a showpiece that existed in name only at the beginning, this has to be said to be a miracle, and wasn't this miracle created by Qin Jin?

In addition, there is also the Taishou Du Fu of Feng Yi County, who also played a pivotal role in the previous war, I heard that the people of Feng Yi County are entrusted to this person, and eight out of ten are preserved. And Du Fu's fame has only been in a short period of one year, and the highest-ranking official he has been before this is just a layman.

The most important thing is that there is another person, Cui Lian couldn't help but glance at Guo Ziyi, who was sitting like a bell, if this person had not been for Qin Jin's help, I am afraid that he would have become a dry bone in the grave, how could he have today's merits? In the battle to defend the city of Chang'an, Guo Ziyi's eye-catching degree is probably second only to that of Qin Jin, and what is particularly rare is that this person is favored by both the Son of Heaven and the Political Affairs Hall, and is pinned on by the vast majority of officials.

After this evidence, Cui Jian couldn't find an example that could refute Wei Fangjin, so he actually believed a little, maybe Qin Jin really had a pair of discerning eyes.

However, governing the country is not a joke, and how can such a mystical statement, which is almost like that of a sorcerer, be used as the basis for governance?

His eyes stayed on Guo Ziyi's body, and then he had an idea again.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Guo Ziyi be the envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao and rush to the aid of Jiangnan. If the rebellion of King Yongwang is quelled, you can go north and south through Huai and flank the rebels!"

This is the words of the old Cheng Mou Guo. He didn't think it was appropriate to send Qin Jin out now, after all, Guanzhong had experienced a great turmoil at the beginning, and the people's hearts were undecided, and he still needed this person to stabilize Guanzhong. Moreover, since Tong was attacked for the first time in more than 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the court has lost self-confidence, and the sense of crisis can be seen everywhere, once Qin Jin leaves Guanzhong, it will inevitably cause some kind of negative impact. Although Cui Jian didn't expect any negative impact for a while, he always felt that Qin Jin was the most difficult to leave Guanzhong at this time.

After all, the foundation of the imperial court lies in Guanzhong, the foundation of Guanzhong lies in Chang'an, and the foundation of Chang'an is the Son of Heaven!

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Cui Jian never wants to transfer Qin Jin out of Guanzhong at this time.

As soon as Cui Lian's words came out, the flesh on Li Fuguo's face immediately twitched unconsciously. He and Guo Ziyi have an inextricable feud, and it is too late to suppress it, how can he give this person credit again?

Until this time, Qin Jin, who had been silent, finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Guo Ziyi is not suitable to leave Chang'an!"

Li Heng originally thought that this was the most suitable arrangement, but he was very surprised to see Qin Jin's opposition.

"Why did Qin Qing say this?"

"Recently, the minister has been reported that there has been a coup d'état in Tubo, and the deputy prime minister Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie has seized military and political power, and the soldiers and horses in Tubo have invaded Longyou from time to time......"

Qin Jin, unlike the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, always looked at the situation of the Tang Dynasty at this time with a detached attitude, and when everyone focused on An Lushan alone, his eyes never let go of any neighbor of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the Uighurs, the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty was the Tubo people.

It is even said that the relationship between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty was akin to a love-hate relationship, using each other and wanting to get more benefits from each other, this relationship was more delicate, although there was potential hostility, but it was not difficult to avoid the worst. The relationship between the Tibetan and Tang dynasties was different, and these barbarians from the plateau replaced the former Qiang people and became the biggest hidden danger in the hinterland of Guanzhong. In recent decades, the Tang Dynasty and Tibet have never stopped fighting each other, and famous generals such as Wang Zhongsi and Ge Shuhan have only emerged in several wars with Tibet.

Qin Jin vaguely remembered that in the ten or so years after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tubo people invaded Chang'an in one fell swoop, burned, killed and looted, and completely trampled the face of the Tang Dynasty on the ground and trampled on it!

Recently, the Tubo people have frequently appeared in Longyou, Qin Jin feels that this is not an ordinary conflict, it should be a kind of temptation, testing the reality of the Tang Dynasty, and the bottom line.

After all, the fall of Tongguan completely shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Army's painstaking management for more than 100 years was broken up in one day.

Li Heng was so frightened that he lost his voice and said:

"Could it be that Tubo has the heart to offend me?"

He has been a prince for more than ten years, although he rarely participates in government affairs and military affairs, but he also knows very well that the large and small battles he has fought with Tubo since the Kaiyuan Tianbao are innumerable, and it is very likely that Tubo will take advantage of people's danger at this time!

In fact, Longyou's military reports were frequently transmitted back to Chang'an as early as a month ago, and Qin Jin was always paying attention to the movements of the Tubo people at that time, but this kind of small conflict had never been interrupted in the previous Taiping years, so he planned to wait and see what happened, and did not want to use his own speculation rashly as a basis, so he did not tell Li Heng about his thoughts.

At this time, the safest way is to keep enough men and horses in Guanzhong to deter these foreign barbarians from acting rashly.

However, Longyou's military newspaper and political affairs hall is aware of it, and the Son of Heaven must have seen it, can't they see it? Qin Jin looked at Cui Jian and Li Heng suspiciously, Li Heng's expression was dazed, and Cui Lian was greatly surprised and self-reproachful, and his face was also red and white.

It turned out that because the conflict between Longyou and Tubo was the norm in the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, Cui Jian habitually ignored these seemingly normal problems, but today, when Qin Jin pointed it out, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
