Three days later, when Gu Qian was sorting out the soil and preparing to visit the Lu family, Chen Jian brought back bad news.

"What did you say?" Gu Qian said in disbelief, "The Datong soldiers have rebelled again?"

Chen Jian frowned and sighed: "That's right, it's a rebellion again." ”

Gu Qian's face collapsed at that time, and he didn't blame him for reacting so much, it was really because the soldiers on the border of Datong were too fierce, counting this time, this was already their third rebellion.

The first time was in the second year of Jiahe, when the rebellious soldiers killed the governor who insisted on driving them to the border of the barren land.

The second time was in the fourteenth year of Jiahe, in order to complete the plan set by the governor to build a forty-mile trench within three days, the general Jia Yun severely punished the law, and after a few soldiers were tired to death, he did not know how to restrain at all, and continued to use a long whip to drive the rest of the soldiers to work, and the soldiers could not bear it and mutiny again.

In the second rebellion, the soldiers killed Jia Yun, and then rushed into the government to kill Governor Zhang, who formulated the cool law.

In the two rebellions, the court officials were beaten to death, and Gu Qian really couldn't think of what the soldiers had done to surpass the height of the previous two times.

"Li Jin is dead. Chen Jian sighed.

"Li Jin?" Gu Qian's mind was racing and he found Li Jin's name in the chaotic Xuanda personnel relationship spectrum, "Datong General Soldier?"

"Yes. Chen Jian nodded.

Gu Qian's mind was blank, the soldiers even killed the highest commander of the local army, what else did they dare not do? Thinking that he had to go out with the team to fight this rebellion, Gu Yushi felt that it was not good, against this group of fierce soldiers, his life would be played with!

"How did Li Jin die?" "It's good luck to be able to kill with a single sword, right?

"Uh, he ......" Chen Jian, who had always been calm, unexpectedly showed a little embarrassment, he groaned for a while, and silently handed the copy in his sleeve to Gu Qian.

Gu Qian looked at him suspiciously, couldn't wait to open it to see, and when he read what was written inside, there was a look of disbelief on his face.

"It can't be true, can it?" he asked, in a trembling voice.

"This is a transcript of the recital of Xu Yanlin, the governor of Datong, and it is a matter of border stability, and he will not say anything. ”

Since Governor Xu can't lie, then the cause of Li Jin's death in the song is true? Ma Dan was stripped naked by the soldiers and thrown into a cage to freeze to death, and he died with a dancing girl who was also stripped naked.

With such an association, Gu Yushi's embarrassment was about to attack.

No wonder Chen Jian couldn't speak, this ...... Such a bold way of dying is even a little incompetent for him, a modern person, right?

"What does the Holy Lord mean?" Gu Qian finally suppressed the nonsense in his head and asked in a low voice.

"Today, he was furious and ordered the military department to formulate a strategy to quell the chaos. ”

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, is there any hope that this matter will drag on until the end of the year?"

Chen Jian shook his head and said: "Datong is a border fortress, and it is also the gateway to guard the Beijing Division, the first two military rebellions have made the saint annoyed with the Datong soldiers, I am afraid that this matter will not end well." ”

"But the end of the year is approaching...... Gu Qian still wants to struggle.

"Don't forget that the Ministry of the Little Tatar Princes has been eyeing our country outside the borders of the DPRK. ”

After Chen Jian's reminder, the cold sweat on Gu Qian's forehead dripped down immediately, he just thought about the civil strife, and almost forgot that there were still Mongolian cavalry outside the Jing Dynasty who often made trouble, once the soldiers lost their minds and united with the Tatar tribes, the consequences would ...... Gu Qian was shocked, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Recognizing the strictness of the matter, Gu Qian's footsteps were three points heavier when he went out.

When he arrived at Horn Hutong, after being reported, Gu Qian entered Lu Ji's house very smoothly.

Lu Ji's mansion does not occupy a large area, it is a standard five-grade military general's mansion, and I don't know if Lu Ji is really busy, or in order to ridicule him, Gu Qian has been drinking three teas, and Lu Ji walked in unhurriedly.

"You're here?" said Lu Ji with a straight face.

"I've seen my brother. Gu Qian stood up and arched his hand.

"Sit down. "I thought that Gu Qian would be interested in leaving after waiting for a long time, but I didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned, and he didn't move his feet after drinking the three teas, Lu Ji couldn't, so he had to come out to meet the guests.

"Senior Brother Xie. Gu Qian said with a smile.

"The first time you came to the door, I accepted the gift, and I must not do it in the future. ”

"It's just some Qingjiang Tuyi, if Senior Brother likes it, I'll give it to you next time." Someone seemed to have no idea that the other party was being polite, and continued to smile.

Lu Ji looked at the sky speechlessly, why did he have such a mallet junior brother inexplicably? A great speaker of the imperial history ran to Jinyiwei's mansion to give gifts, was his brain doused by the water of the Yangzhou River?

Looking at Gu Qian's smiling and unconscious appearance, Lu Ji couldn't tell if he was pretending or his nature was like this, but Gu Qian was also the person he had saved with his own hands, and Lu Ji was a little more tolerant of him.

"I still have business to do, so I won't keep you longer. "Let's go.

"Isn't it Xiu Mu today, Senior Brother still has business to do?"

Lu said helplessly, "Didn't you live in Chen Jian's mansion?

"Sue sù. Gu Qian nodded honestly.

"You haven't forgotten who you are, have you?"

"Nope. "Xuanda's front-line supervision of the imperial history.

"Seeing that the counterinsurgency army is about to be launched, you don't go to pack your bags, and you still have time to chat with me?"

"My entourage is already tidying up. "What's more, since the army is deployed, it will definitely delay some time, after all, ordnance, grain and grass need time to raise.

Lu Ji saw that Gu Qian didn't care, and swallowed the reminder that came to his mouth, while stuffing the bitter cold, he wanted to see how this guy got through.

The two sat for a while, Gu Qian wanted to find out more about the Datong rebellion from Lu Ji's mouth, but Lu Ji's mouth was very tight, so he didn't answer his words at all, seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, and it was about to be the time to stay for dinner, Gu Qian's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart that it was better to rub a meal in Lu Mansion or a meal.

Just thinking about beautiful things, a small flag walked in quickly, and when he saw Gu Qian here, the small flag paused for a moment, and then walked over and whispered something to Lu Ji.

Lu Ji nodded cautiously and said, "I know, you go first, and I'll arrive later." ”

Seeing that Lu Ji really had something to do, and Gu Qian couldn't rely on it anymore, he stood up and arched his hand, and said, "Senior brother has something to do, so Qian will leave first." ”

Lu Ji nodded, seeing that Gu Qian was about to leave the door of the hall, he hesitated for a moment, but still whispered, "After going to Datong, you should listen more, watch more and talk less, and don't stand in line casually." ”

Huh, Gu Qian looked back in surprise, what does Lu Ji mean by this?

When he wanted to ask a few words carefully, Lu Ji waved his hand and walked out quickly.

Although Lu Ji was cold-hearted, he not only saved his and Xiaohu's lives, but also generously gave a Jinyiwei's waist card, which shows that this person is not as ruthless as the rumored Jinyiwei, and Gu Qian is not as self-conscious as the civil officials of the same era, looking down on this and that, so his attitude towards Lu Ji is more casual, and he also has the meaning of equality and intersection.

Lu Ji probably also felt his kindness, so he accepted his friendship according to his temperament, right? Otherwise, how could a thousand households with a five-grade civil official casually call him a brother?

Even if the civil officials in this world are more noble than the military officials, it does not mean that any person can enter Lu Ben'an's eyes.

Gu Qian returned to Chen's house with full doubts, he had already mentioned to Chen Jian in advance that Lu Ji had saved his life, so it was only appropriate to pay a visit, Chen Jian didn't think that he had a deep friendship with Lu Ji, so he didn't ask deeply.

Gu Qian also did not inform Chen Jian of Lu Ji's warning words, he had not yet figured out Chen Jian's attitude towards Jinyiwei, and his intuition sued him, and Lu Ji told him that he was also taking risks, betraying his friends, Gu Yushi still disdained to do it.

"According to the information I have received, I am afraid that Zhang Yuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, will serve as the chief officer and lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Chen Jian revealed to Gu Qian the news he had just gotten.

"Zhang Yuan?" Gu Qian had just entered Beijing, and he hadn't even seen the face of the squire of the military department.

"Well," Chen Jian nodded, and said: "Zhang Shilang was in charge of Xuanda's military affairs before, and he was a capable minister in the emperor's heart.

"But don't you say that Li Jin broke out because he withheld the soldiers' salaries and led several soldiers to die of starvation?" At this time, as long as the soldiers had been paid enough money and appeased, and the soldiers had no reason to make trouble, wouldn't the rebellion be easily resolved? Gu Qian's heart was always sympathetic to the weak, and as a new youth who grew up in a peaceful era, he really couldn't imagine how there could be soldiers who defended their homes and the country being frozen to death and starved to death.

Governor Xu also asked the Holy Lord for mercy, only punishing the chief evil, not coercing him, and asked the household department to pay food and salary as soon as possible to relieve the grievances of the soldiers. Chen Jian paused and continued, "It's a pity that the two factions in the DPRK and China who advocate pacification and suppression have quarreled, and there is no result for the time being. ”

"But the Holy One left Zhang Shilang alone. ”

It is useless for the two factions to quarrel fiercely, and Emperor Jiahe has already expressed his attitude.

Chen Jian sighed and said, "Xu Yanlin said in the song that as long as he is given food and salary, the army will be eliminated within a month, and you can see the current shape, I'm afraid things will be turbulent again!"

"If Governor Xu promised to quell the chaos, why did he insist on sending troops today?"

"Naturally, someone blew the wind in front of the saint," Chen Jian lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Li Jin was recommended by Yan Shoufu to take office, and if he caused a mess, someone naturally had to clean it up, not to mention, Ge Qingtai, the secretary of the military department, was very sick a few days ago, and I am afraid that he will be due to illness, what do you say Zhang Shilang will think at this time?"

A waiter who doesn't want to be a scholar is not a good waiter, of course he wants to go to the next level.

"But he can't take national affairs as his capital!" Although Gu Qian could understand, he couldn't agree.

"So you're in trouble. ”

"Why?"

"As the front-line supervisor of Xuanda, do you support warm appeasement or strong military suppression?" asked Chen Jian.

"Can you choose both?"

Chen Jian smiled, as if he was laughing at Gu Qian's naivety.

Gu Qian frowned, he knew what kind of dilemma he was in, no wonder Lu Ji warned him not to stand in line casually, it turned out that the reason was here. I was a great official in ancient times
