Chapter 854: The villain is a relative
Although Qin Jin was in Luoyang, Chang'an was still all over his eyes, and Empress Zhang's and Li Fuguo's every move was under surveillance. At this time, Yang Xingben rushed over.
"Qin Yan has good news there, and the Ludi rebels will collapse at the first touch, showing that they are not strong in war. ”
This good news was really a bit unexpected to him, he thought that it would take some effort to do it on these two rebels, but who would have thought that this was the result.
"Where are the rebels retreating?"
"It seems to have the intention of crossing the river to the north!"
"Be sure to stop the rebels from moving north, and if necessary, surrender. ”
The reason why Qin Jin didn't want to see the rebels go north was because he didn't want to add more wings to Shi Siming, and if he relaxed a little now, he would have twice as much trouble in the future.
Yang Xingben hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"It is good to persuade them to surrender, but I am afraid that they will undoubtedly submit and suddenly miss the best opportunity to attack!"
Qin Jin's heart moved, and he asked:
"Oh, according to your wishes, why don't you attack it?"
"It's okay to chase after victory, it hurts to beat them, or it's easier to surrender. ”
Qin Jin thought for a while, but still waved his hand and said:
"It's not proper, it's not proper, the strength of the Shenwu army is limited, if the stall is too big, it will inevitably be stretched, these two rebels should mainly persuade them to surrender, and they can't move a single soldier lightly unless they have to!"
Yang Xingben understood Qin Jin's character, once he decided something, it would be difficult to change it, so he simply stopped fighting, and when he glanced at the secret report in Qin Jin's hand, he asked:
"There's news from Chang'an?"
Qin Jin handed him the secret report.
"Look at it, Zhang's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and he actually plans to let that guy who hasn't grown all his hair preside over the counterinsurgency plan, isn't this nonsense?"
After glancing at the secret report in his hand a few times, Yang Xingben actually laughed.
"It is said that the ignorant are fearless, and today I have seen it, isn't the Zhang family afraid of falling short, even if she wants to be the queen in peace and stability at that time, she can't get it?"
Qin Jin said coldly:
"It's just a desire for profit, this woman's ambition is inflated, but she is also unprecedentedly stupid. ”
Yang Xingben laughed twice.
"Only in this way can the Shenwu Army dare to rest assured that it will go out to quell the rebellion, otherwise, how can it rest assured?"
This is indeed the reason, the reason why Qin Jin dared to take the Shenwu army east out of Tongguan was largely because Empress Zhang's ability was mediocre, and she couldn't even be called mediocre, and she looked aggressive on the surface, but in fact she was not a big threat to the Shenwu army.
"Look at it, this Zhang family can't even fight Li Fuguo, and he plans to seize the power of the Shenwu Army, which is really a big joke in the world. ”
After seeing what was said in the secret report, Li Fuguo and the Son of Heaven planned to stay in Luoyang with Qin and Jin, Yang Xingben couldn't help but be moved.
"Li Fuguo's deep scheming, if the doctor is the queen of Luoyang, isn't this the doctor roasted on the fire?"
Qin Jin nodded and said:
"That's true, on the surface, this is for us to fight for power, but without this, we can't control the situation in Luoyang?"
He has long seen through Li Fuguo's evil intentions, Luoyang is not an ordinary person to be appointed, according to the old practice, he is the most trusted prince of the Son of Heaven, and let a subordinate of Qin Jin take on such a heavy responsibility, there is only one result, that is, it can only attract the jealousy of the Li Tang royal family.
"So far, the prince and we are still of the same mind, but as the war progresses, who can guarantee that it will not be a trivial matter......?
As he spoke, Yang Xingben paused, but the thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and his eyes lit up in a moment.
"This post-stay doctor can't be deserved, it's better to take the initiative to ask a prince to take responsibility!"
Qin Jin glanced at Yang Xingben meaningfully. His plan is to repay others in his own way. Although he cleared up his own involvement and let Li Fuguo's plan fail, it would bring a lot of trouble to the crown prince Li Yu.
The current Li Yu is like Li Heng at the beginning, he must always guard against his brothers, and cannot give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, otherwise it will only threaten his own power base. However, if the request for the prince to sit in Luoyang is justified, Li Yu has no legitimate reason to refuse.
If Li Heng is in good health, then everything will not be a problem, and Li Yu can go to Luoyang in person. However, at this time, Li Heng suffered a stroke and could not be a director, and Li Yu could not leave Chang'an for a moment.
"Isn't this causing trouble for the crown prince?"
Although Qin Jin guarded against the crown prince, Li Yu was just a sunny boy in his eyes, and it was a bit cruel to him to do so.
"The idea is a good idea, but it is too much, and if there is an edict at that time, it is insisted on, and there is no need to ......"
Suddenly, he paused, and suddenly became alert in the midst of lightning and fire.
"You say, is it possible for Li Fuguo to launch a palace mutiny?"
This sudden question made Yang Xingben stunned, and subconsciously repeated.
"Gong Change?"
In Yang Xingben's subconscious, he hadn't considered the possibility of a mutiny at all, but after Qin Jin's question, his expression suddenly became nervous, and his face gradually became solemn. Yes, why didn't I think of the mutiny, Li Fuguo not only has the title of general, but also a eunuch who holds the real power of the forbidden army, if he really has the heart, it is naturally not uncommon to launch a palace mutiny.
"When Li Fuguo was left behind, he didn't kill them all, he hoped that this person could help the prince fight against the Zhang family, but now it seems that he is a tiger relic!"
The doctor thought that there was a few chances that Li Fuguo would launch a mutiny. ”
Qin Jin shook his head.
"This matter is very important, we must not take chances, we must immediately remind Cui Jian and guard against this person!"
Without further ado, after Qin Jin returned to the case with great strides, he wrote a letter in just a few moments, and before the pen was put down, he recruited military officials.
"Send this letter to Chang'an quickly and hand it over to Cui Xianggong!"
Seeing Qin Jin like this, Yang Xingben was even more worried.
"From Luoyang to Chang'an non-stop, it will take three or two days to work hard, is it too late?"
Qin Jin looked up and said:
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. ”
In the final analysis, this is Qin Jin's negligence, thinking that he has no last resort, but he ignores this potential biggest problem.
The crown prince Li Yu is a raw melon egg, no matter what aspect is not necessarily Li Fuguo's opponent, although Cui Lian is capable and loyal, but in terms of cunning, he is still a little worse than Li Fuguo. If Li Fuguo is calculating, there is a chance that he will be calculated.
If Li Fuguo is allowed to control the situation of the Chang'an Dynasty, for the Shenwu Army, it will be tantamount to a fire in the backyard.
Yang Xingben said with a little complaint:
"When the army was first dispatched, the Shenwu Army should not have moved in a hurry......"
Qin Jin asked angrily:
"It's useful if you don't go out of the nest?"
Even if there are good cadres, it may not be useful. The Shenwu Army was not responsible for maintaining the situation in Chang'an City, and if it was hastily changed, it was entirely possible that everything would be over before the Shenwu Army could react.
Obviously, Yang Xingben immediately realized this, and walked back and forth in the room a little anxiously.
Suddenly, Qin Jin slapped his thigh again.
"How can I forget Cui Guangyuan, with this person, cooperate with Cui Lian and support the prince together, even if Li Fuguo launches a palace change, he has not seen that everything can be as he wishes. ”
Cui Guangyuan and Shenwujun and Qin Jin are all very close, and they can come in handy at critical moments, if Li Fuguo has the intention to get rid of Empress Zhang, at most he can only replace the Zhang family and become the opposite of the crown prince.
The situation in Chang'an City was treacherous, and Qin Jin felt a headache when he thought about it, but fortunately, after a thorough analysis, the situation was not uncontrollable, which made him settle down a little.
"Doctor, the envoy of Huainan Gaojiedu has arrived!"
Hearing this, Yang Xingben said:
As the doctor expected, Gao Shi also played a trick. ”
Although it was expected, Qin Jin was still very disappointed, Gao Shi was capable and extremely loyal to the Son of Heaven, but the problem was that he was too loyal to Li Heng, so that the choices he made might not be based on the overall situation.
The Huainan envoy accompanied more than a dozen people, and the news he brought still made Qin Jin very angry. Because Gao Shi didn't send a single soldier, he wanted to send him away with just a three-inch tongue.
"There are thieves in Yangzhou from time to time, and the high-level troops are overstretched, so they dare not move lightly, and I ask the doctor to ......forgive me."
This envoy is obviously a person who can speak well, and Qin Jin does not want to have a verbal dispute with him, so he only replied coldly:
"Got it!"
In addition, there was no word to the envoy, he buried his head in the official documents on the desk, and Yang Xingben also withdrew when he saw this, leaving the Huainan envoy with an embarrassed face on the spot.
After a long time, Qin Jin raised his head before he pretended to be surprised and asked:
"What else does the envoy have to do?"
The envoy said:
"No, no ......"
He went north to Luoyang this time, he was ready to spend a lot of time, who would have thought that Qin Jin would regret words like gold so far, he could feel the strong dissatisfaction of the other party, but people don't say a word, he can't talk to himself, right?
What made him even more embarrassed was that Qin Jin neither let him sit down, nor did he make further arrangements, so he couldn't just stand on the spot stupidly and waste it, right?
However, after all, Qin Jin was a solicitor, and the envoy didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him, even if he was embarrassed, he had to endure it, who let them not be kind first!
This stop was half an hour, and he stood straight so that his legs and feet were numb, but fortunately, Qin Jin didn't let him continue to stand.
"Since the envoy has nothing to do, let's go down and rest, it's not easy to travel from afar. ”
If the Huainan envoy was amnesty, he rushed to the post house to rest, who knew that after arriving at the post house, it was more than half an hour, seeing that the sky was about to be dark, only the post official came forward to receive him, and the attitude was very impatient.
"The post house is full, please take care of yourself!"
When the envoy heard this, the fire surged upward, and it was just a matter of being snubbed by Qin Jin, and a post official who did not enter the stream dared to on his head, so he couldn't bear it anymore.
"How dare you be presumptuous? I obviously see that there are many idle houses......
The post official had no fear, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and scolded without waiting for him to finish:
"Lao Tzu is already polite, the post house only accepts people who kill thieves in peace, does the shrunken king still have the face to show his majesty here?"
