Chapter 533: There are spies in the city
Kyung Zhao Yin was in charge of the affairs of Gyeonggi and was originally in a humble and powerful position in the imperial court, and if the head of the prime minister of the political affairs hall wanted to sit firmly in the phase, he would inevitably have to firmly control the position of Kyung Zhao Yin in his hands, which shows the key to its importance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Now, Chang'an is besieged, the original officialdom ecology has been broken, Cui Guangyuan, the Jingzhao Yin Authority, cannot leave Chang'an City, and even in Chang'an City, he is only responsible for the thankless drudgery of public security.
However, Cui Guangyuan is straightforward by nature, and although it is a chore, he is just as conscientious. Rumors have made the people in the city panic for several days, and it is rumored that there is a special team of men and horses in the rebel army who are man-eating demons who do not blink an eye, and it is said that they only go out after sunset, and they hide at sunrise, and it is even rumored that these cannibalistic demons can do witchcraft......
Qin Jin listened to Cui Guangyuan's relay, and was also a little shocked, if it weren't for this Jing Zhaoyin's due diligence, he would have almost ignored the inconspicuous and crucial details. Once the hearts of the people in Chang'an City are disturbed, it will be the source of the disaster.
"How did the city know about eating people outside the city? Not even a few people in the army know the exact news about this matter!"
Guo Ziyi asked coldly, he felt that Cui Guangyuan was a little derelict as Jing Zhaoyin.
I only heard Cui Guangyuan sigh.
"At first, there were only some rumors in the tea shop in the market, and later even the slaves and children of Cui's family were introducing, and Cui suddenly felt that something was wrong!"
Guo Ziyi sneered.
"It's really worrying to disturb people's hearts, but it's not a big deal, Cui Dayin doesn't need to be afraid!"
Maybe he was reminded by Guo Ziyi, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape, coughed embarrassedly, and said:
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, my subordinates have tried their best to stop the spread of rumors, so I have to come to Doctor Qin for help, I don't know if there is a good way to calm people's hearts?"
In fact, most of the so-called stabilizing people's hearts are the families of the rich and powerful in Chang'an City.
At the beginning of Qin Jin's entry into Chang'an, he originally planned to settle in the private sector regardless of whether he was rich or poor, but later found that the resistance in reality was much greater. The powerful and wealthy could lend their property to the court, but could not tolerate eating and living under the same roof as the untouchables.
On the contrary, because there is no surplus food at home, the civilians in the city are eager to enter the private middle school to solve the crisis of food shortage.
Later, Sun Xiaozhe's army swarmed to besiege the city, and Qin and Jin could only act expediently, changing the forced camp to a semi-voluntary camp. But the voluntary entry into the camp was also conditional, and a criterion was laid down that only those who had to lend enough money and grain to the imperial court were eligible to be exempted from entering the camp.
In this way, it can not only avoid the trouble of sending personnel from the imperial court to mobilize from house to house, but also prevent the lack of soldiers among the private enterprises.
However, what Qin Jin didn't expect was that this decree had become a way for the magnates of Chang'an to distinguish the authenticity of their family property.
Many noble relatives who seemed to be wealthy on weekdays were forced to send their children to the camp because they could not afford to pay the exempt money and food, and they became a laughing stock in the circle. A typical example of this is the Dugu family who was born in Guanlong.
However, there are still many rich families in Chang'an City, which also shows that Chang'an has gathered considerable wealth in the world.
Cui Guangyuan's so-called stabilizing people's hearts is to stabilize this part of the rich and noble people who enter the private sector.
Although Qin Jin did not have a good impression of these people, the imperial court could not do without these people, after all, the magnates were the foundation of the imperial court, and even the most powerful people had to consider their influence.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Jin didn't come up with any suitable method.
At such times, the more the rumors are refuted, the more the rumors will be true, and if they are ignored and allowed to spread, the rumors will spread like a flood and plague.
Qin Jin habitually tapped his forehead with his index finger, and when he was helpless, he subconsciously used this to relieve his mood.
But Guo Ziyi didn't seem to care much.
"Those powerful people in the city have long lost the intelligence and martial arts of their ancestors, they are all a group of fattened pigs and sheep, and the chaos will be chaotic, if they are honestly nested in the house, we will only do nothing, if they make trouble, they will be severely punished by military law, and see who dares to defy the law!"
Cui Guangyuan said:
"General Guo's suggestion is good, and it can indeed be effective, but it is ......"
He hesitated halfway through his sentence and refused to continue.
Guo Ziyi only smiled and asked:
"Why doesn't Da Yin continue?"
Cui Guangyuan's expression was even more embarrassed, so he had to look at Qin Jin halfway for help, Qin Jin also wanted to know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he urged:
"There's nothing to say to people here, and it's okay for Da Yin to say it directly. ”
When Qin Jin said this, Cui Guangyuan was even more embarrassed, as if the hesitation just now was guarding against Guo Ziyi.
Cui Guangyuan suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, sighed, and said:
"Originally, there was nothing bad to say. Saying that, he glanced at Guo Ziyi intentionally or unintentionally, "I'm afraid that the doctor will misunderstand that Cui has other thoughts in mind and uses tools for personal gain." If the doctor is as General Guo said, he will inevitably offend the vast majority of the powerful people, and if these people get together and embarrass the doctor, the trouble cannot be ignored. ”
It turned out that it was for this! Qin Jin Dajue was funny, he had already offended the powerful and powerful, what does it matter if he offends a few more or a few less?
"Da Yin has good intentions, Qin Mou understands it, but as an official, it is difficult to take care of selfishness when he does his duty, and if he is offended, he will be offended. ”
These words were relaxed, but Cui Guangyuan sighed with emotion, if the Emperor Taishang could promote a few people like Qin Jin who were dedicated to the public to enter the political hall, the world would not be corrupted into this virtue.
"The doctor is noble, and the subordinates are so impressed!"
In the end, Cui Guangyuan was facing Qin Jin deeply.
Just when he thought the matter was over, Guo Ziyi spoke again. I don't know how, Cui Guangyuan always instinctively avoids dealing with Guo Ziyi in his heart, this person seems to be gentle, but he is very sharp in his bones, as if all his thoughts are not hidden in front of this person, and in front of him, it is like no clothes, which makes people sit on pins and needles.
"Doctor, Da Yin, don't you think this matter is quite strange?"
Cui Guangyuan subconsciously asked:
"I wonder what's wrong?"
"The rebels eat people, and it has not been made public in the army, but how did those in the city who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun?"
"Maybe someone in the army leaked out?"
Guo Ziyi's brows have been twisted into a Sichuan character.
"Da Yin must also know that the law of private restraint is stricter than the forbidden army, who dares to contact outsiders privately?"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned, and also felt that Guo Ziyi's words were very reasonable. He has also read some charters of the private sector, the most fundamental of which is to isolate internal and external information and form a relatively closed environment. In this way, the possibility of news leaking out of the army is indeed not high.
However, Guo Ziyi changed his words again.
"Only a few people in the army know about the cannibalism of the rebels, and the rest have never seen it in person, nor have they attended military meetings, let alone know about it. What's more, even the doctor and I are just speculating, and there is no real evidence!"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned, looked at Guo Ziyi in confusion, and he suddenly felt that Guo Ziyi meant something.
"Isn't it, is it...... Did someone spread it on purpose? Somebody got involved?"
At this point, Qin Jin had already understood who Guo Ziyi was referring to.
"Chen Xilie!"
Guo Ziyi only bowed slightly, which was considered a default. Cui Guangyuan couldn't accept it for a while, Chen Xilie was an old minister of the Three Dynasties and a person who had been the prime minister, how could he be a spy?
"Doctor Mo, could it be a mistake?"
"It's not wrong, Chen Xilie intended to collude with the traitor, and he was caught a few days ago with tangible evidence, but only because of the situation and people's hearts, he couldn't bear it. ”
Cui Guangyuan suddenly wanted to realize something, and asked hurriedly:
"Could it be that even the Son of Heaven doesn't know about this?"
However, as soon as he asked, he regretted it, such a big thing is hidden from the Son of Heaven, at worst, it is a bully, and its crime can be punished, if Qin Jin and Guo Ziyi have the intention to hide it from the Son of Heaven, how can they tell the truth to themselves?
Unexpectedly, Qin Jin generously admitted it.
"Yes, the Son of Heaven still doesn't know about this matter, and when the crisis in Chang'an is resolved, Qin Mou should explain it to the Son of Heaven and Pan. ”
Qin Jin didn't say the reason for his wishes, but simply explained two sentences, Cui Guangyuan's original embarrassment was swept away, and if he didn't hide it, he didn't treat himself as an outsider.
Cui Guangyuan secretly sighed, it feels really good to be recognized!
On that day, Chen Xilie's mansion was surrounded by heavy soldiers, and people were panicked for a while, thinking that Chen Xilie's house was going to be raided and destroyed, but then there was no movement. Someone with good deeds came forward to inquire, only to learn the reason, it was someone who wanted to assassinate Chen Xilie, and the army specially sent heavy troops to protect it, so that the thieves could not succeed.
Seeing that there was nothing rare and lively, with an envious look, the crowd dispersed in a hurry.
Separated by a wall, the people inside the strong do not feel that their situation is worthy of the envy of outsiders.
"Qin Jin Piff, Piff ......"
"Grandpa is silent, here and outside are the eyes and ears of his cronies, don't provoke this person again......"
In the face of the persuasion of his eldest son, Chen Xilie stopped scolding slightly, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his children and grandchildren. But isn't it too late?
Chen Xilie lowered his voice, and in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel, he reprimanded:
"Qin Jin has surrounded the Chen family's mansion with heavy troops, and he should be holding the handle of being a father, do you think you can still be good?"
"Ahh......h
Looking at his son's panicked expression, Chen Xilie only secretly lamented that he had been so good in his life, how could he give birth to two such indisputable things.
"Shut up, shut up, don't you think you're loud enough?"
Just now, the eldest son was still persuading Chen Xilie to keep his voice quieter, but now he himself is shouting regardless of it, so out of shape, no wonder Chen Xilie is thunderous.
It wasn't until his son quieted down that Chen Xilie said with pity:
"In this way, there is only a dangerous move!"
His son was shocked when he heard this!
