Even if only 30% of the militia who rebelled survived, Yang Xingben still severely punished these people, and all the centurion and above officers who participated in the mutiny were immediately executed, and the only leniency for these officers was that it did not affect the children of the clansmen. The remaining ordinary militiamen could never be released into the battalions as if they were all fine, and all of them were sent to the coolie camps outside the city to serve their sentences and be reformed, and then released after three years, depending on the degree of their rehabilitation.

An originally grand review ceremony only ended with this sudden accident, and at the same time, everyone really realized the military prestige of the Shenwu Army, not everyone is qualified to go against Doctor Qin, otherwise Cui Ji, who was flailed outside the end gate to show the public, is a lesson from the past.

"Cui Ji is Fang Xuan's old subordinate, and since the accident happened today, Fang Xuan has not appeared again, so it is difficult to protect ......"

Qin Jin waved his hand to interrupt Yang Xingben's words, Cui Ji was indeed Fang Xuan's old subordinate, but in his opinion, Fang Xuan may not know about this matter. As early as when Fang Xuan led his troops to the battle, Cui Ji monitored Fang Xuan as a minister of the Son of Heaven, which was well known to the whole court.

Therefore, Fang Xuan and Cui Ji are by no means the same pair of pants. It's just that the Son of Heaven has had a stroke for more than half a year, and it has been a long time since he lost control of the government, and Cui Ji must have been in contact with other people during this period, and even this person was the eyeliner that others placed next to Fang Xuan early in the morning.

So, who will be the person standing behind Cui Ji? In Qin Jin's view, there are basically two people who are inseparable, one is Empress Zhang, and the other is Li Fuguo. Li Fuguo, as a newly rising eunuch, is the Son of Heaven in the palace, and after the Son of Heaven suffered a stroke, the only thing he could rely on was the Zuowu Guard, which he mastered.

Cui Ji, as a child of a big family, naturally cannot be used by eunuchs, so the mastermind behind it has been revealed.

"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Qin Jin looked at Yang Xingben and asked directly.

"Cui Ji is a highly valued disciple of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and the doctor treats this person more heavily. ”

At the mention of the Qinghe Cui clan, Qin Jin couldn't help but feel a little angry. This son of the Qinghe Cui clan seems to be like he has fallen into an evil spirit, and he is against his enemies one after another. This was the case in Xin'an, it was also the case in Chang'an, and even in Feng Yijun. Now that the Shenwu army sent troops to Luoyang and recovered the eastern capital in one fell swoop, I don't want to encounter the same thing.

However, what Yang Xingben said is also reasonable, after all, Cui Ji is different from a side branch like Cui Anshi, even if he really has the heart to deal with him, he must not rely on the hands of the Shenwu Army.

"What Erlang said is reasonable, this hot potato might as well be handed over to the imperial court!"

Yang Xingben smiled, and praised solemnly:

"The doctor is clear!"

Qin Jin scolded with a smile:

"When did you learn to shoot horses?"

At this time, the military officials hurriedly came to report, and Fang Xuan asked to see him.

Even if Fang Xuan didn't come, Qin Jin was about to discuss today's changes with him.

When Fang Xuan saw Qin Jin, his face was full of embarrassment, no matter what background Cui Ji had, but the identity on the official face was his subordinate, if Qin Jin had a bad heart for himself because of this, how could he justify it?

Seeing this, Qin Jin hurriedly grabbed Fang Xuan's arms with both hands and held him up hard.

"Xianggong, why is this? Please take a seat and speak!"

This reaction was beyond Fang Xuan's expectations, and Fang Xuan even looked at Qin Jin's eyes in surprise to judge whether he was true or false. However, Qin Jin helped Fang Xuan up and invited him to take a seat, all out of sincerity, how could Fang Xuan see anything else?

However, Fang Xuan also knew that Qin Jin had never been happy or angry, so he still sat down suspiciously.

"Cui Ji is in trouble, the old man can't escape the blame, Doctor Qin ......"

Without waiting for Fang Xuan to finish his words, Qin Jin immediately interrupted him.

"The old minister's words are wrong, there are no outsiders on the side today, so it is better to put this matter bluntly. Cui Ji is clearly the marionette of a certain big man in the palace, what is the old minister doing? Could it be that the old minister still wants to carry this unreasonable black pot for others?

"Black cauldron?"

Fang Xuan was subconsciously stunned for a moment, although Qin Jin's word was fresh, but with his talent, he understood the meaning in just a flash. Then he sighed heavily.

"The old man doesn't pay attention to people, he doesn't look at people carefully, and in the end he almost caused a big disaster, fortunately the doctor is fine, otherwise wouldn't the old man become a sinner for the ages?"

He said this because he knew very well that if the situation today was only Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army could be suppressed, if Qin Jin died, the Shenwu Army would probably be divided without a leader, and when the time came, the forces of all parties would be staggered, and the imperial court would be powerless to settle the chaos, and this troubled world really didn't know when it would end.

Qin Jin also wanted to widen Fang Xuan's heart, so he said with a smile:

"The old minister doesn't have to blame himself too much, Cui Ji's acting Henan Yin is also Qin's personal seal, and when it comes to the root, Qin also has an inseparable relationship!"

If he took the initiative to take responsibility, Qin Jin felt that it was enough to say a word, Fang Xuan was not a pedantic stupid person, so he could naturally understand his good intentions. Then, he immediately turned the topic to the disposal of Cui Ji.

"I discussed with Erlang just now, Cui Ji and his people are too involved, and it is not appropriate to deal with them in the Shenwu Army, what does the old minister think?"

Fang Xuan pondered very seriously for a while, and then calmly replied:

"The old man only has one sentence, where does Cui Ji come from, he will teach him where to go back!"

This coincides with the ideas of Qin Jin and Yang Xingben.

Fang Xuan believed that relying on the old Henan government system could no longer effectively maintain stability, because the entire Henan government had been tossed by Cui Ji, it was better to select the best from the militia to form another battalion to replace the Henan government to be responsible for the security patrol in the city.

At the beginning of Qin Jin's entry into Luoyang, he had issued an order that except for the imperial city, the Shenwu Army would not get involved in the security inspection of the city, which was to avoid suspicion and reduce friction between the military and the people. Now Fang Xuan proposed to use the people in the city to govern the security in the city, and he thought it was a good idea, so he readily agreed.

At this point, it was almost over, and seeing the sun setting in the west, I unconsciously deliberated for a whole afternoon.

Fang Xuan suddenly asked coldly:

"The old man heard that the doctor intends to leave Luoyang and go to Hedong?"

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, he had only explained his plan to leave Hedong in a small area, and now even Fang Xuan knew about it, I am afraid that this matter is not a secret among the middle and high-level officers in the Shenwu Army, so he nodded generously and admitted:

"Indeed!"

"Please let the old man guess the reason why the doctor went to Hedong. ”

Qin Jin made a gesture of please.

"If it is wrong as expected, it must be that the court's reward is heavy, and the doctor does not dare to accept it, and he can't accept it!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin's heart moved, and his heart was worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he was actually able to guess the reason why he was about to rush to Hedong. But after thinking about it again, the news that he was about to rush to Hedong had already spread, and the news of the imminent arrival of the court angels could not be concealed, and perhaps someone had already arrived in Luoyang from Chang'an one step ahead.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Jin sighed and said frankly:

"The old minister said fairly about Qin's hardships, and going to Hedong is really a last resort!"

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuan burst out laughing.

"The doctor is smart everywhere, how can he be confused here?"

Qin Jin was stunned again, thinking about the meaning of Fang Xuan's words, and asked:

"Where does that begin?"

Speaking of this matter of fighting for power and profit in the court, Qin Jin has experienced little after all, Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the sea has been up and down for decades, and the calculation of these organs has long been not a big problem.

"The old man only gave the doctor a word, as long as the edict of the Son of Heaven is not the king, what if he takes it?"

"Not a king?"

Qin Jin was surprised, Fang Xuan seemed to have shown an unusual prediction in the matter of the court angels, and it seemed that he had to evaluate this person's ability again, and he would add one more in addition to being good at governance, proficient in the art of power and strategy, and this one was also Qin Jin's shortcoming. At the beginning, he was tied up by various forces in Chang'an, and he suffered this loss.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuan didn't wait for Qin Jin to speak, and said to himself:

"It must be a national prince, it is inevitable to seal a national prince, in addition, he will also let Doctor Qin sit in Luoyang in the name of the temperate envoy and command the rebellion...... It's just that...... Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for important ministers to sit in the two capitals in the name of Jiedu, and it must be at least a post-mortem ......"

At this point, even Yang Xingben was deeply impressed by Fang Xuan's performance, and he actually guessed everything, even if there were slight discrepancies in some details, they were completely flawed.

Qin Jinteng got up, "The old minister has guessed everything, and the prince of Feng Guo is just fine, wouldn't it be better to let Qin stay in Luoyang and roast it on the fire?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Fang Xuan's turn to be stunned, he only guessed that the imperial court would entrust Qin Jin to stay in the temporary dispatch, how could he have imagined that it was actually Luoyang who stayed behind. Although there is only a one-word difference between staying behind and staying behind, the results are very different.

The queen is a substitute for the envoy of the festival and the observation envoy when the position is absent, and the Luoyang Stay Rule is not the crown prince can not be competent, and in the past practice, all those who are entrusted with the important task of staying behind are almost without exception the heir to the throne. Now that the imperial court has asked Qin Jin to stay in Luoyang, the evil intentions he harbors are already obvious to the world.

However, after being shocked, Fang Xuan still calmly said his suggestion:

"In that case, what if the doctor takes this edict from the Son of Heaven?"

Yang Xingben immediately jumped up and said urgently:

"The court has a suspicious heart, can't the prime minister see it?"

On the contrary, Qin Jin was reminded by Fang Xuan that he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, so he stopped Yang Xingben's questioning.

"In that case, what about the next edict?"
