The county government officials are headed by Gong Cao.

Xin Er instructed Shi Liang to tell the people who were summoned about the ins and outs of what happened to Hu and Qi Dali and Bald Lianfan.

After speaking, Shi Liang asked Xin Er for instructions.

"It is a major matter of the lord's concern, and it is also an important task that is being implemented in the county, and you should have heard of it. The Tutu Department robbed and killed the two military marquis of Bal Lianfan and Qi Dali, and the two Hu cavalry under my account were killed; Tutu also threatened the county government not to send any more people to the Lushui pasture. How do you think the county government should respond to this? What do you think, speak freely. ”

The officials are either the cronies of Shi Liang and others, or they are the right surname in the county, and they have indeed heard about the collection of Hu for a long time.

At the moment, after listening to Shi Liang and Xin Er's words, some of the people connected to each other, and some looked up to think.

A servant said: "Ming Gong, the subordinates think that this matter is mainly Fu. ”

This official is Shi Cao Shi. When Cao is the lord of the season, he sacrifices in the season, and the matter is simple and leisurely, but among the Cao, the status is high, and he is called "Gongzheng Religion". This position is mostly held by the children of the big names. The official who spoke was surnamed Koji, whose name was Jingjing, and was a distant relative of Koji Shuo.

For the sake of Koji Shuo's face, Xin Er saw him in the past, and his attitude was very kind, and after listening to his opinion at this time, he asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Thinking about the Tutu Department, the account is not more than a thousand, and Ding Zhuang is at most more than a thousand, how dare he resist the royal order and rob and kill the officials? In the opinion of the subordinates, there must be something else behind this matter. ”

Xin Yi said in his heart: "Lao Koji's opinion is similar to my and Lao Fu's speculation. ”

This is an obvious thing, there are only more than 1,000 strong men under his hands, but he dares to act so recklessly, it is difficult to believe that there is no mystery behind it.

Xin Er didn't say his opinion, but said, "Oh? ”

The Koji Jing was recommended by Shi Liang, and he saw that Xin Er had no intention of asking, so he had to give the Koji Jing a reply and asked: "Koji Jun thinks that there will be any mystery behind this?" ”

Koji Jing went on to say: "The following officials speculate that it is nothing more than the middle, the west, and the east. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the middle, resisting the royal decree may not be the meaning of the Tutu Ministry, it is very likely that this is the common opinion of the four tribes of Shuihu in the county."

Shi Liang nodded and said, "There is a possibility." What about the West and the East? ”

"The four beards in my county can produce thousands of strong men in total. The subordinates thought that with only these thousands of people, they probably still did not have the confidence to resist the king's order. Therefore, the subordinates were suspicious, did they secretly collude with Lu Shuihu in Jiuquan County, and even Lu Shui and Beishan Xianbei in Zhangye County? This is West and East. ”

When Koji Jing was in office, he was quite familiar with the details and distribution of the Hu Department in and outside the county; And after a moment's effort, I thought of the three forces that might exist behind the robbery and murder of the Tutu Department, the "central, western, and eastern", and my brain was quite flexible, and I considered the problem more comprehensively.

Xin Er said in his heart: "I didn't find out in the past, this old koji is a person who pays attention to current affairs, and he is quite thoughtful." ”

The middle and low-level officials below Cao Shi rarely had direct contact with them.

Usually, all the government affairs of the county government are issued to Cao Peng, or Cao Peng asks for a report. Even sometimes, some small things, even Cao Peng doesn't have to be seen, just transfer the order from Gong Cao and the main book.

Because of this, Xin Er is not very familiar with officials such as Zhang Jingwei and Koji Jing.

Koji Jing continued: "The various departments of Lushui in Jiuquan have been fighting endlessly these days, and they are gradually spreading; Although the robbery and murder of the officials of the Tutu Department is a great crime, if they crusade at this time, the subordinates are worried that if they are implicated in Jiuquan and Zhangye, they may cause disaster. Therefore, the subordinates are foolish and take care as the top. ”

Song Pian paused the tea on the table and said, "Old Koji, the Marquis of Koji is your brother, right?" The prestige of the marquis is far and wide, as strong as Qin, and he is also afraid of it; Why are you so forward-looking and timid? As you said, the Tutu Ministry, a small slave of the lowly species, dared to rob and kill the magistrate and threaten the county government! Do you still want to stroke? Don't you want the dignity of the imperial court? Don't you want the dignity of the king? ”

Koji Jing said: "Today, you can temporarily caress you, and when you find out the situation, you might as well make a thunderbolt again." ”

Most of the officials sat down with a look of approval, and each of them spoke in agreement with the opinion of the Koji Sutra.

Xin Er listened for a while, and then specially pointed to a county official who did not speak, that is, the one with a suitable demeanor, and asked, "What does Gao Jun think, what is the discussion of Koji Jun?" ”

This official's name is Gao Chong, now Tian Caoshi, with a clear voice, and replied: "What Koji Jun discussed seems to be reasonable. ”

Seeing the full house of officials, Tai Ban agreed that he should be "fu", Fu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but remembered that Xin Er ventured into the capital alone when he was in Zebian last year, coaxed the bald Lian Jueqian to be deceived, and led the superintendent to loot, etc., and couldn't help but say: "I have never seen a child lose his temper in the past few days in Jiankang, like a good gentleman, but he is actually resourceful and courageous." He has not yet expressed an opinion on this matter, what does he think? Will you agree with Koji's point of view? "I can't be sure.

Seeing that Song Pian was tough, he had to fight, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Is there a good way to crusade?" ”

Song Pian couldn't do anything, but Fu Qiao's question couldn't help him.

He looked at the officials and said, "Fu Gong asked you, is there a good way to crusade?" ”

There was a servant who stood up and said: "Looking at the stories of the past dynasties, since ancient times, there have been ways of war against the Huyi rebellion, but there is no way to deal with them. If you can ask for it, you can talk about it! Today, the Tutu Ministry robbed the officials of the imperial court in vain, threatened the county government, if they did not ask for help, and the subordinates were afraid of stealing, there would be no peace in the county from now on! ”

Song Pian was overjoyed, took a closer look, and saw that this official was burly and magnificent, but it was the thief Cao Shi Xiangkui, and praised: "Old Xiang, I know that among the county officials, count you bravely, sure enough, you can do great things!" ”

Koji Jing said: "This is wrong to Cao Shi! If it is a crusade now, what should be done in case Tutu rebels with Jiqu and other departments, connecting Jiuquan in the west and Zhangye in the east? I'm afraid that not only my county, but also the middle school of the country will immediately have no peace! ”

Huang Rongming questioned, but he was really helpful, and said: "Not bad." If the Hu Department in the county has really secretly colluded with the Hu Department of Jiuquan and Zhangye to Cao Shi, what do you do to deal with it? ”

"What's so hard about that?"

"Tell me about it."

Xiang Kui said passionately: "You only need to write two texts from the Ming Gong. One was given to Jiuquan Pan Taishou, and the other was given to Zhang Yeyin Taishou, and asked the two of them to send troops, horses, and cavalry to strictly guard the boundaries bordering our county, so that Hu Luo in the three counties could not sneak into the news.

Then, Ming Gong immediately dispatched troops to fight for Tutu, but it was just a small fall of more than a thousand strong men, and it would not take a few days to slaughter it. Now that Tutu is gone, do the Huluo of Jiuquan and Zhangye still dare to make trouble? ”

Koji has been well considered, but it is better to fight quickly than Xiang Kui.

His strategy is exactly Xin Er's belly case.

Tutu Department, you have to punish it. If you don't punish it, there is no way to do it. But what the koji sutra says, you must not ignore it. Therefore, the best way is nothing more than what Xiang Kui said.

Song Pian nodded again and again, turned to Xin Er and said, "Fu Jun, you can call this policy 'good'!" You can do so. ”

Xin Er remained silent, and asked Shi Liang, Zhang Daojiang, Huang Rong and other county government officials who had not yet expressed their position, and said, "What is your opinion?" ”

Shi Liang knew that he was worth, although his family had already settled in Longdi, in the end, his ancestral home was in the Western Regions, which was different from the Tang race, although he was the head of the government officials, the place where he came from was actually the previous county guard who coveted the wealth contributed by his family, and was granted because of his talent.

From the time he took office to the present, he has always listened to what Taishou said, and then replied: "Follow the orders of Ming Gongjun." ”

The Zhang family has a close relationship with the Qu Ministry, Zhang Dao will not be sure whether the Qu Department is involved in this matter, he is uncertain, and thinks about it: "I will be perfunctory, and after asking my father's meaning, I will do something else." He replied vaguely, "There is a reason to ask and caress them." ”

Huang Rong had already guessed Xin Er's intentions, and said in his heart: "The prince of the mansion summoned Yang Changshi to come to the mansion to senate, and it is clear that he has the idea of crusading. Ying Dao, "What Xiang Cao Shi said is right!" Only when it is negotiated can it be discussed. ”

Xin Er asked Yang Fu: "It's true, Lan Sima Department, how is the practice?" ”

"Known military law, bright flags, distinguishing golden drums, the queue is just beginning. used to hit the elite of the enemy country, insufficient; It's enough to ask for Lu Shui! ”

Xin Er stood up, looked forward to the hall, and said: "Tutu disobeys the king, robs and kills the official, the crime is unforgivable!" I'm determined to ask for it. "Ling Shi Liang," there are two texts in the book, which are divided into Jiuquan and Xihai, and Ling Taishou strictly guards the border with our county, and Du Taishou guards the passage that separates Lu Shuihu and Rouran. Drafting the letter, asking the Lord to give me a request, and asking Zhang Ye Yin to guard the border adjacent to our county. ”

Xiang Kui mentioned Jiuquan and Zhangye, and Xin Er's vision was farther and thought of Rouran's problem. It's always a good idea to be cautious.

Jiuquan and Xihai returned to Xin'er "governors" and could directly issue military orders. Zhang Ye is not under his control, so he is always thinking about Jia Zhen's words of "not being subordinate", worried that he will slander Xin Er again, and does not want to write with him on his own, but wants to ask the king to order his county to cooperate.

Since the officials were summoned, they spoke freely, and Xin Er did not express their own opinions, and at this time the final word was made, although the officials had many objections, but they were also powerless.

Xin Er called the Koji Sutra, approached Kui, and said: "Koji Jun knows current affairs, thinks carefully, and when Cao Feijun is in charge, he will remove the main record; Xiang Jun Eagle Falcon Fenhan, the thief Cao Shi is not enough to bend and get rid of the soldiers and horses. Xiao said to Gao Chong, "Gao Jun is elegant, and Cao Peng is suitable for the king." ”

The main secretary is one of the close five officials under the long official, the previous main secretary is the same as Zhang Daojiang, he is a merry man, Xin Er has long wanted to change, and the surname of the Koji Jing clan is also high, which can be replaced.

The three Caos, including the Soldiers and Horses, the Supervising Army, and the Soldiers, are all military-related departments of the county government, which can be set up separately or simultaneously. Bing Cao Peng is mainly responsible for the collection and transportation of soldiers, and the first two can lead soldiers. Jiankang only had soldiers Cao Peng before, and now he has added a soldier and horse Peng to Xiang Kui.

Yi Cao said that it was a Cao of the county government, and his status was higher, above the Cao who was in charge of various affairs, but in fact, this Cao was a kind of gift to the well-known people in the county, and there was no specific position, and he was raised in the county government and participated in the consultation, so he was named Yi Cao, also known as Mou Cao. The other Cao, generally only Cao Peng, because of its particularity, Cao Peng can have more than one.

Xin Er said a few words, not only made a decision on the affairs of the Tutu Department, but also transferred the three Koji Jing.

After more than two months in the county government, he used to be deep and deep, and today for the first time, he showed such a decisiveness, Shi Liang and other officials were quite unaccustomed, but Fu Qiao knew that this was his style when he was in Zebian.

The three of them didn't expect that Xin Er would promote them in the court, and after reacting, they hurriedly bowed down and thanked them.

Xin Er looked around the hall and said in a deep voice: "What is discussed in the hall today is related to military aircraft, and no leakage is allowed. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will ask Wang Jie to behead him! ”

All the officials went down to bow down, and they all said, "No." ”

When the matter was agreed, the officials bowed and withdrew.

Xin Er left Fu Qiao and others, but there was still an important matter that had to be done.
