The distance between Tianshui City and Huamachi Camp is relatively close, and it only takes less than two days to travel under the fast horse, so Li Ru'an's arrival at Huamachi Camp is only more than a day later than Zhao Junchen.

At this time, in the side hall of the Trilateral Governor's Palace, Li Ruan sat on a chair and drank tea quietly, while Liu Ye stood behind Li Ruan with a restrained attitude, and the two were waiting for Zhao Junchen's summons.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen had not summoned them for a long time, Li Ruan couldn't help but tell Liu Ye again: "After you meet Lord Qincha, you must be as serious and respectful as possible in your confession attitude, you will answer whatever Lord Qincha asks, and never take the initiative to speak, this Lord Qincha hates the kind of fool who can't recognize his position the most......

There must not be any deception and evasion, this Lord Qincha is extremely shrewd, and ordinary clever and small means cannot hide from his eyes at all, and it will only make you completely lose the opportunity......

Also, this Chincha-sama looks kind on weekdays, but his personality is extremely strong and he has his own opinions, so you must not take the initiative to defend himself and try to influence his judgment, which will only attract the displeasure of Chincha-sama......

All in all, what the imperial court wants to do with you, everything is up to Lord Qincha's decision, and when the time comes, our family will naturally intercede for you, as for the fact that you were only forced to become the leader of the rebellious people, as well as your various achievements in helping our family to quell the civil unrest during this time, our family will also inform Lord Yu Qincha in all the details, but you must not overdo it yourself......"

Since the two of them left Tianshui City, this is the sixth time Li Ruan has told Liu Ye like this.

Liu Ye is the head of the rebels, and Li Ru'an is the eunuch of the prison army on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, the status of the two can be said to be very different, but if it were not for Liu Ye's assistance, Li Ru'an would never be so quick to pacify the Tianshui civil rebellion this time, and Liu Ye's means and mind are also extremely clever, so Li Ru'an has already regarded Liu Ye as a confidant, and now he is also wholeheartedly considering Liu Ye.

After Liu Ye heard Li Ru'an's advice, he still nodded with gratitude on his face and said: "Thank you for the reminder of the prison army, the villain will definitely try to be low-key and honest when the time comes, you are willing to protect the villain like this, the villain is naturally relieved to hand over all his net worth and life to the prison army, as long as the villain can save his life this time, he will be a grass tie in the future, and he will be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life to repay the kindness of the prison army!" ”

Li Ru'an nodded with satisfaction and said: "You can rest assured, our family has a close relationship with Lord Qincha, if our family does its best to protect your life, Lord Qincha will definitely give face to our family, as long as Lord Qincha lets you go, the court will be easy to say, and your life and net worth will naturally be worry-free, maybe you can also rely on your achievements in assisting our family to quell the civil unrest to seek an official and a half-job." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "With the words of the prison lord, the villain will be at ease, as long as he has the protection of the prison lord, the villain will not have to worry about anything!" ”

Having said that, Liu Ye's heart was still full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Li Ru'an's advice not only could not ease Liu Ye's tension a little, but made him more and more uneasy.

The civil turmoil in Tianshui City is by no means a trivial matter, Liu Ye, as one of the leaders of the chaotic people, is naturally also deeply responsible, even if it is not an exaggeration to kill the nine clans, although he quickly accepted the imperial court Zhao'an, and has a meritorious performance in assisting Li Ru'an to calm the situation in Tianshui City, but whether he can offset his guilt, Liu Ye is also uncertain.

Liu Ye originally thought that Li Ru'an, as a eunuch sent by the imperial court to the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, was one of the highest-ranking people in Shaanxi and Gansu, and he must have the ability to pardon his crimes, so he would spare no effort to curry favor with Li Ru'an and do his best to assist Li Ru'an.

However, through Li Ru'an's repeated exhortations during this time, Liu Ye found that he had made a mistake in judgment, and it turned out that the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu had already formed in Shaanxi and Gansu, where Zhao Junchen was unbiased and arbitrary, even Li Ru'an, as a eunuch in the prison army, was completely powerless to resist.

In other words, whether Liu Ye can pardon the crime in the end, Li Ruan can't make the decision, everything depends on the attitude of Zhao Junchen.

His own life and death can only be decided by others, how can such a situation make Liu Ye feel at ease?

Especially under Li Ru'an's description, this envoy Zhao Junchen is not only clever and wise, but also has a deep city government and a strong personality, not only one of several powerful ministers in the imperial court, but now he also has the great military exploits of annihilating 100,000 Mongolian coalition troops, which can be said to be one of the most important figures in the world today!

In the eyes of such a big man, Liu Ye's existence is just an ant, as long as he doesn't like it, he can be slapped to death casually.

This is not necessarily an impossible thing, you must know that the civil unrest in Tianshui City almost affected the front-line battle situation, and also almost destroyed Zhao Junchen's plan to completely annihilate the Mongol coalition army, which will obviously cause Zhao Junchen's hostility.

Don't look at Li Ru'an's swear to Liu Ye now that he will definitely save his life, but if Zhao Junchen really wants to execute Liu Ye at that time, Li Ru'an is afraid that he won't even dare to let out a fart.

This point can be known only by looking at Li Ru'an's cautious and jealous attitude when he talked about Zhao Junchen.

Li Ru'an's attitude also made Liu Ye feel a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Li Ru'an, as a eunuch of the prison army, should have no right to control anyone in Shaanxi and Gansu, and should never be so fearful of Zhao Junchen.

Obviously, the clever methods of this envoy Zhao Junchen are far beyond Liu Ye's imagination, Li Ru'an can be said to be decisive when he was in Tianshui City, and those corrupt officials and inferior gentry who caused civil unrest said that they would kill them, but when facing Zhao Junchen, it was as if a servant met a master, and he did not have any courage to resist at all.

And just when Li Ruan and Liu Ye were thinking about each other, Zhao Junchen's confidant Niu Fude walked quickly into the side hall, saying that Zhao Junchen now had time and was waiting for their meeting in the main hall of the Governor's Palace.

*

After Zhao Junchen repeatedly promised Zhang Decheng that "he would not make an example", he finally got Zhang Decheng's concession and got the opportunity to summon Li Ruan to talk with Liu Ye.

Soon, under the leadership of Niu Fude, Li Ruan and Liu Ye came to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.

"Lord Qincha, our family has finally fulfilled its mission and has pacified the civil unrest in Tianshui City, if the order of Shuicheng has been restored today, our family will rush back to restore their lives! After our family heard the good news of Weishui in Tianshui City, we were also very surprised, congratulations to Lord Qincha for annihilating 100,000 Mongolian Tatars in one fell swoop, and his achievements are great and famous in history! ”

After seeing Zhao Junchen, Li Ruan immediately bowed and said what he had been preparing for a long time.

On the other side, Liu Ye immediately knelt in front of Zhao Junchen, and said in a trembling voice: "Sinner Liu Ye, knock on Lord Qincha!" ”

When facing Zhang Decheng, Zhao Junchen has always been kind, and he has never taken care of Zhang Decheng's attitude, this is because Zhao Junchen admires Zhang Decheng's medical skills and medical ethics.

But when facing Li Ruan and Liu Ye, Zhao Junchen naturally changed his face.

Zhao Junchen didn't pay attention to Liu Ye who was kneeling in front of him at all, but nodded to Li Ru'an with an indifferent expression, and said: "During this time, fortunately, Li Jian Jun has suffered, and after learning the news that the situation in Tianshui City is stable, Ben Qincha is also relieved...... Our Ming Dynasty has not had such a large-scale civil unrest for many years, and if it weren't for Li Jianjun controlling the situation in time, I don't know how this matter would end. ”

Li Ru'an hurriedly said: "Our family doesn't dare to take credit, there will be civil unrest in Tianshui City, and there is also the reason for our family's poor supervision, and it almost ruined Lord Qincha's plan to destroy the enemy, our family is just making up for it, our family can quickly pacify the civil turmoil in Tianshui this time, and it is all because of your full support, Lord Qincha!" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly and said: "This civil unrest in Tianshui City is indeed very impactful, after all, I am a full-time messenger in charge of disaster relief, but Tianshui City is a riot because the victims failed to receive the disaster relief food and grass in time, this is my unfavorable sin!" Although I have now completely annihilated the Mongol coalition army, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but when I return to the capital, the political enemies of the DPRK and China will inevitably use this incident to attack me, and it will be a trouble to deal with it when the time comes...... Alas, it gives me a headache just thinking about it! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Liu Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly trembled, and his mood became more and more flustered, only to feel that he was really hostile to Zhao Junchen.

Li Ru'an hurriedly said: "Compared with the great exploits of your total annihilation of the Mongolian coalition army, Lord Qincha, this civil unrest in Tianshui City lasted for a short time and did not have much impact, after all, it was just a trivial matter, and there were many people in the center of the court who understood the matter, and it would be inevitable that it would be flawed at that time, Lord Qincha, you don't have to worry at all!" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly, no longer dwelling on this matter, but said: "Li Jianjun, you told me in detail about the process of pacifying the Tianshui civil turmoil during this period of time, and it also made me know the bottom of my heart, although I received your letter a few days ago, but the news is too simple after all. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Ru'an immediately perked up, and immediately told Zhao Junchen in detail about how he had quelled the civil unrest in Tianshui City.

During the speech, Li Ruan focused on describing his decisiveness and resoluteness, and also elaborated on Liu Ye's various meritorious performances.

In this way, Li Ruan took the opportunity to show his ability to Zhao Junchen, and also took the opportunity to intercede with Zhao Junchen for Liu Ye.

After listening to Li Ru'an's speech, Zhao Junchen still ignored Liu Ye, but after a moment of silence, he asked Li Ru'an again: "You are the eunuch sent by the imperial court to Shaanxi and Gansu, and you have the power to submit secret information to Your Majesty alone, and you must also report all the movements of Shaanxi and Gansu to the imperial court in time...... Regarding this civil unrest in Tianshui City, have you sent a secret report to Your Majesty? ”

Li Ru'an hurriedly nodded and said: "This civil unrest in Tianshui City can't be hidden from the imperial court no matter what, so our family naturally wrote a secret letter to report the news to Your Majesty!" But please rest assured that our family waited until we received the news of the victory in Weishui before sending this secret to the capital, and in this secret sparseness, our family took all the affairs of the Zhao'an rebellion on ourselves, and it would never affect Lord Qincha. ”

This time, Zhao Junchen showed appreciation and said: "Zhao'an chaos is your Majesty's power, if you don't have Your Majesty's permission to Zhao'an rebellion, it is the crime of trespassing, if this matter is borne by me, I am afraid that it will cause countless troubles, Your Majesty will not like it, but you are Your Majesty's palace people, representing Your Majesty's dignity, this matter is naturally best for you to bear alone, but it reflects your own overall situation and decisiveness, maybe you will get Your Majesty's appreciation!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked, "I heard that the Imperial Horse Supervisor plans to arrange you to the Imperial Study and make you the Great Eunuch of the Imperial Study?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Ru'an's heart suddenly burst out.

Only Xu Sheng, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, had mentioned this matter to him once, but he didn't expect Zhao Junchen to also receive the news.

Li Ru'an didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly said: "That's right, Xu Sheng, the eunuch of the palm print of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, once mentioned it to our family. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "This is a good thing, the great eunuch of the imperial study can accompany His Majesty for a long time, once you are loved by Your Majesty, you will have a bright future in the future...... You also showed your ability during the pacification of the Tianshui civil unrest, and I am now preparing for the Shaanxi and Gansu wars, and I will also take the opportunity to say a few good words for you, and then no one will be able to compete with you for the position of the imperial study, you must take advantage of this opportunity! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's promise, Li Ruan was overjoyed.

He hurried from Tianshui City to Huamachi Camp this time, wasn't it just to occupy a good position in the Gong Gong Shu? didn't think about it, but Zhao Junchen had already arranged some for him in advance.

So, Li Ruan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Qincha!" ”

At this time, Zhao Junchen finally turned his gaze to Liu Ye, who was still kneeling in front of him, only to see that when Liu Ye knelt, he not only buried his head in the ground, but also raised his buttocks, which was quite funny.

Zhao Junchen asked slowly: "You are Liu Ye, the leader of the rebellious people who took the initiative to accept Zhao'an?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen finally noticed him, Liu Ye hurriedly said: "The crime is Liu Ye!" The sinners also know that this Tianshui civil turmoil almost ruined the major event of Lord Qincha, and asked Lord Qincha to punish the crime! ”

Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said: "Li Jianjun has already sent you on behalf of the imperial court, and you also have a performance of meritorious service, not to mention that I can also see that Li Jianjun values you very much, so I naturally want to give Li Jianjun a face...... Therefore, if you participate in the civil unrest this time, I will no longer pursue it, and everything will wait for the final decision of the imperial court, but you have the guarantee of Li Jianjun, and it should not be a problem to keep your life. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Liu Ye was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Qincha!" Thank you, Lord Chincha! ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Li Ru'an again, and said, "Li Jianjun, I am unwell during this time, and I urgently need to rest, if the matter in Shuicheng has been resolved today, I will not keep you." ”

When Li Ruan heard Zhao Junchen's words, he naturally didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly led Liu Ye away.

Looking at the back of Li Ruan and Liu Ye leaving, Zhao Junchen was thoughtful.

After a while, Zhao Junchen instructed Niu Fude on the side: "You send someone to Tianshui City to find out all the things about this Liu Ye, and then try to control all his relatives...... After these things are done, you can talk to this Liu Ye in person, and let him become Li Ru'an's cronies on the surface, but secretly do things for me, and you can tell him that I will not treat him badly in the future. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Niu Fude's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately agreed.

Since Li Ru'an entered the palace, his personality has become more and more extreme, and he also has the idea of getting rid of Zhao Junchen's control, Zhao Junchen can naturally see it, and he will naturally take precautions.

Now, Li Ru'an wants to recruit Liu Ye as a confidant, which is a good opportunity for Zhao Junchen!

Zhao Junchen could see that Liu Ye was a rational and indifferent person, such a person was not difficult to control, as long as the stakes were clearly stated for him, he would automatically make a choice.

Today, Zhao Junchen deliberately talked to Li Ruan about some confidential matters in front of Liu Ye, just to let Liu Ye understand the subordinate relationship between Zhao Junchen and Li Ruan.

*

Zhao Junchen has always been afraid of death, so he naturally has to conscientiously follow Zhang Decheng's medical instructions.

Therefore, after Li Ruan and Liu Ye left, Zhao Junchen instructed Niu Fude a few words, and then planned to go back and continue to rest.

But at this time, Su Xiqing hurriedly appeared again and reported: "Lord Qincha, I just received news that it was Liang Fuchen Liang Ge Lao and Xu Qingyan who appeared at the West Road Post Station in Chang'an Mansion, and according to their itinerary, they would arrive at Huamachi Camp the day after tomorrow at the latest...... In addition, the commander of Guan Wu Yuanguan has already arrived in Weishui with reinforcements from the forbidden army, and they will also arrive at Huamachi in the next few days. ”

After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Li Ru'an, Liang Fuchen, Guan Wuyuan, and then there will be governors and general soldiers from all over Shaanxi and Gansu, one after another, they are rushing to Huamachi Camp, and it is really lively...... It seems that the next few days will inevitably be flooded with all sides, and everyone will need me to deal with it with a lot of effort, so where will I have the opportunity to rest? I'm afraid I'm going to provoke Dr. Zhangshen's anger......"
