Chapter 259: The Generals Wonder the Truth
Out of unconditional trust in Qin Jin, the generals of the Shenwu Army saw that he was so calm and composed, and knew that he might have other plans, so they all quietly waited for the final result of the matter.
Sure enough, until the early morning of the second day, the Son of Heaven issued an edict in the army. The Shenwu army followed Qin and Jin to Fengyi County to prepare for the defense of the three auxiliaries. This errand even exceeded Qin Jin's expectations, and he asked Jing You, the inner supervisor who delivered the edict, about the situation, and only then did he learn that this matter seemed to have the influence of Yang Guozhong.
After learning that Yang Guozhong was involved, Qin Jin couldn't help but laugh three times, maybe this is that people are not as good as heaven, Yang Guozhong thought that he was killing people with a knife, but he didn't know that he was in the middle of it. He didn't think that the Son of Heaven would send him to the land of Sanfu, especially Feng Yi, a strategic place like Guanzhong and Hedong, who had already made plans to rush to Shuofang or Longyou, but now it seems that it is surprisingly smooth.
After sending Jing You away, Qin Jin's excitement was undisguised, and even several of his subordinates easily felt it, which was extremely uncommon in the past. In the midst of apprehension and doubt, people finally have a sense of stability and peace of mind.
Of course, Pei Jing and the others still had a sense of frustration in exile from Beijing in their subconscious. In the traditional idea of officialdom, only those who lose in the political struggle will leave Chang'an, the center of the world. And Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army were obviously not defeated, but Qin Jin took the initiative to choose to withdraw, which made their confusion not be eliminated overnight.
"The land of Sanfu has always been valued by the imperial court, and the Shenwu army went to Pujin to fight with the rebels, and my generation killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and it was in this dynasty!"
A newly promoted brigade leader made a majestic statement to Qin Jin and the captains.
However, what he got in exchange was mostly a blank eye, which sounded uplifting, but compared with the frustration of being lonely out of Beijing, it was a kind of irony no matter how you looked at it.
Only Qin Jin smiled happily: "That's right, Pujin is an important place for communication between Guanzhong and Hedong, summer is coming, and the offensive of the rebel army is about to be launched in a big way, instead of doing senseless internal friction in Guanzhong, the Shenwu Army should go to the army, kill the enemy, make meritorious service, and seal the marquis!"
The result was unsatisfactory, but in the end, Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army were still not separated, which made the generals of the Shenwu Army quite satisfied, as long as the Shenwu Army had Qin Jin, it would not face the embarrassing situation of being **.
After Qin Jin encouraged everyone, he sent them to leave the army and return home to arrange for leaving Beijing.
On the way, Pei Jing, Yang Xingben, and Lu Qi walked together, talking about Qin Jin's true thoughts, but they were all inconsistent.
Yang Xing thought that Qin Jin had played a bad move, took the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an, and withdrew from the battle for dominance, and he had already lost the upper hand. Moreover, now at the critical juncture of the abolition of the crown prince, it is difficult to say that Qin Jin is not afraid and shaken in his heart when he does this.
Lu Qi has always contradicted Yang Xingben, thinking that he is treating others with himself.
"Don't be cowardly and cowardly, so that everyone is like you, the general is far-sighted, in fact, you can speculate?"
Surprisingly, Yang Xingben did not distinguish between this, but nodded heavily and sighed.
"I hope so, Yang is indeed not strong-willed, but he still wants to fight to the death with Yang Guozhong's traitor. How is this kind of calamity to the country and the people like a thief?"
Lu Qi was still unforgiving, and sneered: "Yang Guozhong is your uncle, but he keeps calling the country a thief, isn't it a betrayal of his family?"
"Bird!
When Yang Guozhong was in trouble for the first time, he regarded Yang Xingben's father as a scapegoat and almost lost half his life in prison, but he has always been haunted by this matter.
"Okay, you two just be quiet for a while, the general has arranged it like this, there must be another deep meaning, I will carry it out unconditionally!"
Finally, Pei Jing, who had been silent, spoke out to stop the two Yang and Lu who were arguing.
"Now that the Shenwu Army has the upper hand on the surface of Chang'an, it is actually full of dangers, don't you feel it at all? “
Yang Xingben saw that Pei Jing said that it was mysterious and mysterious, so he questioned angrily:
"The wind and waves have come over, are you still afraid of this undercurrent?"
Facing the doubts, Pei Jing sneered twice, slowed down his horse, and looked back at Yang Xingben.
"Do you know why Yang Guozhong has fought so many times and has not fallen?"
"It's not a treacherous and cunning, it's hard to finish a battle!"
"Big mistake!"
Pei Jing unceremoniously denied it, and Yang Xingben was a little unconvinced.
"You said that you are ugly!"
"It's all because Yang Guozhong has the support of the Son of Heaven behind him, as long as the Son of Heaven is still alive for a day, Yang Guozhong will not fall for a day!"
Pei Jing's words surprised Yang Xingben, and he was a little speechless.
"This, how is this possible?"
In Yang Xingben's heart, although the prestige of the Son of Heaven in the mutiny was slightly reduced, he was still high and unquestionable, and Pei Jing's naked accusation made him a little difficult to accept.
"Pei Jing, you, you ......"
He wanted to say that you were presumptuous, but the word presumptuous couldn't be said anyway. An unprecedented feeling rose in his heart, making him look at the political struggle in Chang'an from an unprecedented perspective. If the Son of Heaven has been standing behind Yang Guozhong, then it is logical that Yang Guozhong has been standing for more than half a year.
It's just that Yang Xingben is still a little incomprehensible.
"The Son of Heaven does this, yes, what is the benefit to the imperial court? Could it be that the Son of Heaven can't see that Yang Guozhong has a ...... about the imperial situation?"
Yang Xingben felt that it was difficult to speak, even breathing. Never-before-seen thoughts jumped out of his heart, and he was a little uncontrollable.
On the contrary, Lu Qi's face was calm, and his expression seemed to be abrupt.
"When today's son is the best at checks and balances, Yang Guozhong's existence is precisely to clamp ......"
"Clamping the General's ......"
Yang Xing didn't wait for Lu Qi to finish speaking, so he picked it up.
"Definitely!"
Pei Jing spoke up again.
"Although our general is powerful, he was far from being equal to Yang Guozhong in the heart of the Son of Heaven. ”
Yang Xingben was puzzled and asked:
"Who is that to check and balance? Now, now we should be on an equal footing with Yang Guozhong, right?"
The two questions were asked in part of the priority, and there was no logic, Lu Qi refused to let go of the opportunity, and laughed at Yang Xingben for a few words.
Yang Xingben glared at Lu Qi and was about to continue arguing with him, but Pei Jing interrupted the spark they rubbed again.
"At such a moment, you can save some snacks for the general, and after explaining to your family as soon as possible, you will calmly leave Beijing!"
Speaking of this, Pei Jing suddenly changed his words and asked again:
"Didn't you two think about staying in the capital?"
Yang Lu and the others who asked this sentence were stunned for a moment, and then said angrily in unison: "Although he is not talented, he will not be treacherous!"
They were obviously ashamed of this, and the name of the Shenwu Army could not be easily desecrated in their hearts.
Pei Jing turned to laugh.
"Why, don't you two have the same interests, why do you have to fight all day long?"
The two of them were speechless for a while, and then glared at Pei Jing stupidly, and they already understood that they had fallen into this person's language trap.
In fact, Pei speculated that the general did this precisely to retreat. Don't forget, although the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the role played by the Shenwu Army in the mutiny, you ask yourself, if you change the position of any one person and transpose with it, how can there be no trouble, and nothing has happened?"
Pei Jing's question hit their faint worries, but no one pointed out the key point, and they couldn't figure it out for a while. Now, it was pointed out bluntly, although it was a little shocking, but it was also completely clear about the situation.
Pei Jing is right, the situation that the Shenwu Army is in now is exactly like this, who dares to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will not settle accounts after shaking hands in the overall situation?
"Don't forget, now the Chang'an armies are not only the three armies of the Northern Ya, but the Shence Army from Longyou has been on the side, eyeing the tiger!"
The existence of the Shence Army shocked Yang Lu and the others again.
After the Shence army arrived in Chang'an, Wei Boyu, who led the army, was directly promoted by the Son of Heaven, but he also lost his military power, and now it is the eunuch Yu Chaoen who controls the Shence army.
Yu Chaoen has always looked at Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army unpleasantly, and in the days after the mutiny, he was always embarrassed with the Shenwu Army, and it is difficult to say that it was not the Son of Heaven who deliberately arranged this person.
If this goes on for a long time, the Shenwu Army may slide step by step into the abyss that is difficult to save!
And the reason why Qin Jin had such an unexpected and amazing move is that it is not a rainy day before he completely falls into a predicament.
For a while, the three of them were silent, each with their own thoughts, but they all vaguely felt that this time might be a great opportunity to break the deadlock and get out of luck!
……
"The Son of Heaven can't wait for the Shenwu Army to leave Chang'an, I am writing at this time, it can be said that it is the right time, and when Yu Chaoen and Yang Guozhong have completely gained a firm foothold, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get out of the quagmire of Chang'an!"
Zheng Xianli was stunned, he never imagined that Qin Jin would compare the Chang'an officialdom that tens of millions of officials broke their heads like they had drilled into to a quagmire. But if you think about it carefully, it's just right, look at the smoky miasma of Chang'an, even if you become an official in the court, all you can do is infighting! If you want to do something serious, don't even think about it.
Under the constraints of all sides, officials do not ask about right and wrong, but only about relatives and distances, and as long as their positions are different, they will spare no effort to attack and oppose them. In the end, under the friction and disputes of all parties, the government is like an old man who is struggling, and it is difficult to move forward.
"Alas, why don't I quit my job as an ordnance supervisor and go to Feng Yijun with the general!"
Qin Jin shook his head.
"Brother Zheng is in the weapons prison is more conducive to the Shenwu Army, Chang'an must always have eyeliner, otherwise the news will not work, and the Shenwu Army will be black in Feng Yi!"
At this time, the armor came to report.
"Report, someone outside the gate asks to see you!"
Qin Jin took the name card handed by the armorer, looked at it and said with a smile:
"Forget these two men!
