"Cui Guangyuan, this old guy, is confused all day long, and if he continues to develop like this, he must miss the prime minister's major event!"

Fifth Qi was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about the mountains of official documents in the political hall, and returned to Jingzhao Mansion with people. But after the report, he was told that Cui Guangyuan had left Jingzhao Mansion and didn't know where he went.

All kinds of problems are crowded together, even if Fifth Qi is not good at engaging in power struggles, he smells a hint of something unusual.

But he always had to find someone to discuss, so that he could have a quasi-score in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he took his entourage to Xingqingfang Wei Mansion.

Wei Jiansu, an evergreen tree in officialdom, has reached his twilight years, and his body is not as good as before, especially after the beginning of spring in a few years, his memory has declined greatly, and then his reaction has gradually slowed down.

In any case, he is still the governor of Menxia Province after all, and as the holder of the supreme power, as long as he has a breath, anyone will rush over to snort.

However, Zhongshu Province still has government affairs to deal with, official documents need to be approved, and Wei Jiansu's son, Wei Qian, a servant of the door, will replace his father in charge of the power.

Fifth Qi didn't go to Wei Qian, but came to Wei Jiansu, who didn't often look at things, because the real decision in Menxia Province was Wei Jiansu, who was so old that his bones were scum.

Surprisingly, the fifth Qi was the right servant of the dignified Shangshu, and he actually ate a closed door soup in Wei's mansion, and Wei Jiansu refused to meet him on the grounds that he was sick, and also asked the servant to pass the word on his behalf, and if there was any official business, he could discuss with his servant Wei Qi.

If you say it, you don't say it, Wei Wei has always advocated light punishment and meager endowment, which is contrary to his governance philosophy, and the two naturally do not deal with each other. Moreover, Wei Wei has been very close to Li Xi recently, and he always feels that this person may be doing some shady things behind Wei Jiansu's back, and he must be entrusted to someone else to discuss with him.

After thinking about it, Fifth Qi had no choice but to see his boss, who was also a left servant of Shangshu who didn't ask about political affairs, shot Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji also relied on Qin Jin to be a very popular minister, and his health was not very good in the past two years, and he has been recuperating at home. Fifth Qi was also tired of this old fellow always pointing fingers at the measures he had formulated, so he was also happy that he did not come to the political hall.

So far, there may be only one important minister who can discuss, if Xia Yuanji is also closed, then he will really be blind, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, the fifth Qi did not eat behind closed doors in Xia Yuanji's mansion, and after the report, Xia Yuanji quickly asked the deacon at home to personally lead him to the back hall of the guests.

At this time, Xia Yuanji could no longer sit for a long time, and was lying on a Hu bed, with a delicate brocade quilt on his legs, and immediately smiled when he saw Fifth Qi.

"Fifth brother, come here and do it, Xia's old bones can't help tossing, I haven't seen him for a few days, I miss it very much, I miss it!"

A few more old tears were squeezed out as he spoke.

Fifth Qi is a person who is not good at greeting and socializing, he asked himself if he could tell such a meaty lie with a shy face, but after eating a whole day of closed-door soup, he was also very touched in his heart to be treated like this.

As the saying goes, if you don't know how to be hungry, you don't know how to be full, and the fifth Qi's emotion at this time was born from this.

"Say, I know that you are a person who comes to the door without anything, and you suddenly come to visit without an appointment, you should encounter any difficulties, right? Tell me, as long as the old man does his best, he will definitely not refuse!"

Fifth Qi arched his hand:

"The old minister, today I found a series of strange things, and I came to ask the old minister!"

Xia Yuanji shook his pale drooping brows, raised half of his eyelids to look at Fifth Qi, and asked tremblingly:

"What's the strange thing that made your brother lose his temper so much?"

Fifth Qi told the story of what happened today.

Xia Yuanji squinted his eyes and listened patiently, until the fifth Qi finished speaking, and he actually snored.

Fifth Qi scolded in his heart, this old man didn't know when he fell asleep, didn't he say it in vain? He couldn't help but stepped forward and gently retreated Xia Yuanji, Xia Yuanji woke up immediately, and hurriedly asked:

"Where did you go? Did the old man fall asleep just now?"

Fifth Qi spoke again, and before he could finish speaking, Xia Yuanji's snoring started again. If it weren't for the fact that this old guy was useless, he would have thought he was playing tricks on himself.

This time, he didn't rush to wake up Xia Yuanji, he just sat on the stool and waited quietly, waiting for him to wake up.

Fortunately, Xia Yuanji didn't let him wait for a long time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a snorer didn't hit, and he woke himself up.

Xia Yuanji saw that Fifth Qi was sitting on pins and needles, so he patted his head in annoyance and apologized again and again:

"Look at my head, I fell asleep when I said I fell asleep, this time I said it succinctly, don't fall asleep again......"

So Fifth Qi said patiently again, Xia Yuanji finally didn't fall asleep, but he didn't move for a long time.

"Old man, old man?"

Fifth Qi couldn't help but urge.

Xia Yuanji sighed and opened the two eyelids that were folded.

"You can make full decisions in our Zhongshu Province, as for Menxia Province, Wei Jiansu, that old fox, will definitely not see you, you ......"

Xia Yuanji groaned, and his mouth stumbled, and the fifth Qi said secretly, I just said twice about the closed-door soup in Wei Mansion, and you old guy didn't hear it?

"You go and see Lu Qi, although this Shilang of the Lu family is young, he is the elder of the Shenwu Army and a close confidant of Qin Jin, if this person can call the shots, all the small ones are not worth mentioning! Go ahead......

After speaking, Xia Yuanji actually snored again.

Fifth Qi was very angry in his heart, and even slandered Qin Jin a little, how could he hand over the government to these old foxes who were full of intrigue when he was about to go west, it was obviously a non-person.

But the reality is such a situation, and I can only pinch my nose and admit it, while it is not dark and the city gate is not closed, I will go to the camp in the north of the city to meet Lu Qi.

All kinds of visions must always attract the attention of relevant people, otherwise when the chaos really arises, how easy is it to remedy it?

Stationed in the north of the Imperial City and west of the Daming Palace, the Jingzhao Battalion of the Shenwu Army can be said to be the elite of the Shenwu Army.

Fifth Qi waited outside the gate for less than a quarter of an hour, and the captain who had done his best to pass quickly walked out again, with a very polite and humble attitude.

"The general is entangled in military affairs, and the fifth minister has not made an appointment, so I am afraid that I will not be able to see each other today, so please don't be surprised. ”

Fifth Qi laughed angrily.

"Then make an appointment, we can always meet tomorrow, right?"

The lieutenant said:

"I'm sorry, I have to wait three days before I can ......"

Fifth Qi got up and said angrily:

"Three days is three days, you registered, I'll come back in three days!"

After that, get on the horse and walk away.

After entering the city, the anger of the fifth qi was slightly reduced, and after calming down, he suddenly felt cold in his heart, judging from the attitudes of several important ministers, the situation was really much stranger than he expected.

Even Lu Qi has such an unclear attitude, it is really difficult for people to peek into the truth in the clouds, what is the problem in Chang'an City?

Le Ma stopped, the fifth Qi was also a heart jam, he was also a dignified Shangshu right servant, the governor of Zhongshu Province, holding the power of Zhongshu Province, he actually took the initiative to come to the door and couldn't see the people he wanted to see, could it be that they really didn't have time, or were they really sick?

After thinking about it for a while, he had no idea, and he didn't know how to deal with it, did he really go home and sleep with his head covered, waiting for the chaos to fall from the sky?

Fifth Qi is not reconciled, he has never been a person who sits idly by, analyzing the current situation, if there is chaos, what is the most important? Of course, it is the military power, since this is the case, go to those reliable people who have the military power.

After counting the people inside and outside Chang'an who held military power one by one, Fifth Qi felt that only Gao Changhe, the new military captain of the Shenwu Army, was the most reliable.

Gao Changhe's soldiers are not many, only about 8,000 people, but they are all firearms battalions, and every soldier can skillfully use all kinds of powerful firearms, of which half of Chang'an's artillery is in this new army.

With a nervous mood, the fifth Qi went to the west of the city again, Gao Changhe's headquarters was stationed five miles outside the west of the city, and the sky was already dark when he left the city, and the soldiers guarding the city began to slowly close the city gate. If even Gao Changhe let him eat the closed door, he would have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.

The new army opened the door, and Gao Changhe personally came out to greet the fifth Qi, and the fifth Qi was so moved that he almost shed tears.

"The Fifth Prime Minister visited overnight, but there is urgent military business?"

"It's confidential, let's go in and talk about it. ”

Inside the tent, butter wax crackled, emitting a strong stench.

Fifth Qi told all kinds of strange things about today, and then asserted:

"Recently, there must be people in Chang'an who are in turmoil, and I hope that the general can always be vigilant, send troops into the city, inspect public security, and take precautions!"

Gao Changhe made a difficulty, he was a real person, and he would not talk about his troubles bluntly with the words of the fifth Qi general.

"The new army returned to the Jingzhao Battalion for training, but it must be ordered by the government hall and the prime minister to transfer troops, and the last general very much agrees with Xianggong's judgment, but the military law is like this, no one can and dare not violate it!"

Fifth Qi Rush Road:

"If someone makes a rebellion, will they have to wait for the order of the Zhongshu Sect and the Prime Minister's Mansion before they can send troops to quell the chaos?"

"If there is really a rebellion, according to the temporary regulations, if there is no longer an order from the superior, the commander of the army can decide whether to send troops or not. In other words, the last general can now step up preparations and requisition supplies, but only after there are certain people who are in rebellion can he send troops. ”

Fifth Qi sighed.

"Chang'an City is high and deep, if someone makes a disturbance, how can they open the city gate and let you in? Even if you force your way in, the situation is probably doomed, and everything is useless!"

Gao Changhe's judgment of the Fifth Qi is actually somewhat questionable, if it really comes to such an imminent point, then why is no one in the whole city or even the whole army alert?
