The 232nd Meeting
The two hundred and thirty-second round
The small court meeting discussed Qin Ying's handwriting for half an hour.
A handful of people were more excited, saying that the recovery of the corpses of the soldiers of the previous dynasty could not be counted, and they had to think of cleaning up Goguryeo.
Another handful of people remained calm, saying that Li Tang had fought a tough battle with the Turks two years ago, and it was not suitable for him to raise troops to the east in a short period of time.
There is also a small group of people who are neutral and do not speak.
The courtiers spontaneously formed three factions, arguing with each other and going back and forth, and there was no unified opinion on the debate ground.
Li Shimin's head began to hurt when he was quarreled by these people, and waved his hand and said, Let's not talk about how to deal with Goguryeo now, how does Zhu Aiqing think to recover the corpses of the soldiers of the previous dynasty?
Goguryeo must be cleaned up, but not now. The top priority is to clean up the corpse mountain bone mound on the bank of the Yalu River.
Qin Ying not only wrote about the dirty things done by Goguryeo in his handwriting, but also wrote that Yin of Youzhou Mansion was seriously ill, and the military government controlled the major city gates.
After reading it, Li Shimin was thinking about who to send to the border of Youzhou to negotiate with the gang of hypocrites in Goguryeo.
Some time ago, when he chose to send an envoy to Silla, he was already chilled by the attitude of the three provinces and six departments, either open or dark. Errands that do not see the future and cannot make oil and water, all budget-conscious officials are unwilling to do it.
Who will turn the tide of such an embarrassing situation on the banks of the Yalu River?
Hou Junji seemed to have figured out Li Shimin's thoughts, and said with his hand: "The minister thinks that since the personnel of the Youzhou Military Government cannot be moved for a while, it is better to let Qin Ying cross the river and send an envoy to Goguryeo. Every time he kindly recommended Qin Ying, but every time he pushed her to death.
Li Chunfeng immediately exploded when he heard this. He thought that Hou Junji said this, and he must have a back hand. Hou Junji must not be allowed to pit the little junior sister again. So Li Chunfeng came out on his knees and said: "Qin Ying has not yet reached the championship, I am afraid that he will not be able to handle this important task." ”
Hou Junji coughed and said, "Qin Ying was supposed to enter Silla with the convoy, but now she is in Youzhou, isn't she waiting for His Majesty to send her to Goguryeo?" Although his eloquence is not as good as that of his sworn friend, with his clever intuition, he will soon be on an equal footing with Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng said solemnly: "It was the Youzhou Military Mansion that detained Qin Ying. ”
Hou Junji sneered: "It was she who volunteered to stay in Youzhou City. ”
Li Chunfeng said angrily: "Lord Hou deliberately shielded the Youzhou Military Mansion!" ”
Hou Junji snorted: "Master Li pretends to be confused but understands it! ”
The two people over there were tense swords, and here Li Shimin turned to look at the servant and shoot. The most respected person in the audience was Master Fang, who wanted to hear Fang Xuanling's words.
The servant shot Li Shimin's expectant eyes, knowing that he finally didn't have to pretend to be outside the spirit and sit in the banquet. So he said: "Fang Mou thinks that sending people to Youzhou now may delay a lot of effort, and it is not impossible for Qin Ying to cross the river to Goguryeo." After all, Qin Yingxin strongly advocated the recovery of the corpses of the soldiers of the previous dynasty, probably because he was deeply touched by the situation on the riverside. ”
Li Shimin thought about it and thought that although Qin Ying was not old enough to convince Goguryeo, her resourcefulness and courage were outstanding in Youzhou.
-- Perhaps there is no one more suitable to go to Goguryeo than her. Since she proposed to recover the corpses of the soldiers of the previous dynasty, then let her bear the many troubles in the future. What's more, she makes trouble at every turn in Chang'an City, he wants to see what Qin Ying, a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, can break through in Goguryeo!
If Qin Ying can really recover the corpses of the soldiers of the previous dynasty, it is that she has fulfilled the duty of a courtier; If she can't get it back and let the relationship between the two countries become bad, then she won't want to go back to Chang'an!
After talking about some other small court meetings before they dispersed, Li Shimin asked Cen Wenwen, a member of the Zhongshu House, to draw up an excerpt on his behalf, and sent it to the three provinces for approval the next day.
……
Qin Ying spent ten years in Youzhou City before receiving a reply from Chang'an.
She glanced at the golden fold, the content on it was no different from what she thought, so she casually put it on the small table, leaned straight on the mat next to the kang, and looked at the "Book of Difficulty" while munching on dried fruits.
The young man surnamed Cui had just washed a bucket of clothes and returned to the room, and when he saw Qin Ying's lazy appearance, his nose was crooked.
Suddenly, he sat cross-legged opposite Qin Ying with the hem of his robe, and found that the tea set on the small table was covered by a bright yellow brocade silk. He brushed away the edict, took a cup and poured tea to quench his thirst, only to realize that the color of this silk book was exactly the same as His Majesty's edict!
Qin Ying put the dried fruit peel in her handkerchief without moving, and Yu Guang observed the young man surnamed Cui.
I saw him trembling and holding the edict in his hand, confirming that the name on the edict was Qin Ying, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. In the end, he looked at Qin Ying in surprise, and even His Majesty was deceived by this person who was inconsistent with his appearance, and there was no reason in this world.
"Don't you congratulate me after reading it?" Qin Ying shook off the dried fruit pomace on the placket, raised her hand like a lady in the back house who was indulging in enjoyment, and drank a cup of tea to moisten her throat before saying.
"Congratulations to Lord Qin for being sealed again." He pursed his lips and whispered, his heart spreading the sour smell of literati lightness.
Qin Ying pretended to shake his hand and sighed deeply: "After returning to the dynasty, all kinds of seals will be removed, which is not very gratifying. ”
The young man surnamed Cui grinded his teeth and thought, then you still call me congratulations.
He didn't express his indignation in person, but Qin Ying could feel the other party's mood from some of the details he made.
So in order to take care of him, who was seriously frustrated, she specially asked him for a meat dish at night. The young man surnamed Cui said that he ate more meat at night, and his brain was easy to become stupid, but the chopsticks stretched out to the roast rabbit did not stop for a moment. Qin Ying didn't ask him where this conclusion came from, but just smiled and said that eating more at this age will lead to growth.
After so many days of rest, it's time to get up and do something practical. For example, when an envoy is sent out, it must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Qin Ying took a car, visited the Lord of the United Army and General Gu Bei, and borrowed 100 elites to escort him all the way.
Seeing that Qin Ying had received His Majesty's edict and served as the main force to envoy Goguryeo, the military government not only allocated manpower to her, but also prepared several boats to cross the river.
At the same time, Fu Yin's condition gradually improved under Qin Ying's prescription.
Qin Ying was finishing prescribing to him at night, and took the opportunity to say to Fu Yin: "Can my lord make it convenient for Qin?" ”
Fu Yin sat in front of the couch and said slowly: "What is the so-called? ”
She borrowed the escort guards and the ships to go there, and now she wants to borrow a civil official to support the field.
Fu Yin looked at the silk book that Qin Ying took out from his sleeve, and praised the talents in the court again and again. He asked the adjutant to take Qin Ying to the backyard of Youzhou Mansion to look through the roster of officials and past assessments placed there.
Qin Ying doesn't use these materials to pick people, but it's not good to brush off Fu Yin's kindness. Pretending to sit with a large pile of bamboo books in her arms for a while, she asked if she could summon the eight or nine civil officials of Youzhou Mansion tomorrow and let herself see each other.
