Xu Guanfeng was ruthlessly cleaned up by Qi Ning in the wine shop that night, and after fleeing in a hurry, he even had a slight illness because of the cold wine on his head, but fortunately, he was born in the army and his body was strong, but he quickly recovered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, he remembered Qi Ning's appearance, and when he saw Qi Ning at this time, he was really heartbroken.

No matter how stupid he is, he also knows that the officials who can appear in the imperial study are all important ministers of Southern Chu today, and Qi Ning is standing close to the imperial desk, which is even more extraordinary.

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, but his tone was still calm: "I asked you, didn't you hear?" ”

Xu Guanfeng came back to his senses and said busily: "Villain....... The villain was ordered by the King of Shu to come to ...... Come to the capital to report ...... to the imperial court! ”

"In this way, it was the King of Shu who asked you to stay in Jinyi without leaving the Marquis of Jinyi in three sentences?" Qi Ning said lightly: "Could it be that the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion sent you a letter or a message, so that you don't embarrass the Black Cave?" Or do you think of bending the law for your own selfish purposes? ”

"This ......!" Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xu Guanfeng's forehead.

It seemed that the official who seemed to be Dou Lianzhong had already said: "Master Hou, you can't say that, if Heiyan Cave didn't rely on the care of your mansion for them back then, they wouldn't dare to be arrogant in Xichuan." ”

"Who is this?" A slight smile appeared on Qi Ning's lips, "This lord forgives the Marquis, I have just inherited the Marquis, and many court officials don't know each other. ”

King Huainan had already smiled and said, "This is Lord Dou Kui, the head of the household department." ”

It turned out to be him, Qi Ning sneered in his heart, thinking that this Dou Kui was clear about his grievances with Dou Lianzhong, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Dou, Lord Dou's words are really difficult to agree." First, it is said that the Black Rock Cave is arrogant, I don't know if Lord Dou saw it with his own eyes, or is it hearsay? Lord Dou is in charge of the household department, and there are many opportunities for the day, in addition to other troubles to worry about, I am afraid that there is no time to go to Xichuan, even if you really get to Xichuan, you are dignified and the household department is still the book, and it is impossible to deign to go to the black rock cave of the Miao people, so before the facts are clear, Lord Dou still does not want to follow the crowd and arbitrarily judge ......! Seeing that Dou Kui seemed to be arguing, he didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Second, you said that Heiyan Cave dared to be arrogant in Xichuan because of the Marquis of Jinyi, this is strange, when Heiyan Cave assisted the Chu army, it was loyal to the imperial court, but not to the Marquis of Jinyi, and the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion would never be abolished for personal reasons, as if if Lord Dou had a distant relative who killed people and set fires, would the local government still ignore him because he was a distant relative of Lord Dou?" ”

Dou Kui changed color and said: "Master Hou, please be cautious, when did this official have a distant relative who killed someone and set fire?" ”

"It's just an analogy, Lord Dou, do you understand?" Qi Ning said lightly.

Dou Kui snorted coldly and said, "Master Hou, these analogies made out of nothing, it's better to say less. ”

"Yes, it's better to say less about something out of nothing." Qi Ning also said lightly: "What did Xichuan say because he looked at the face of Jinyihou, so he tolerated the Black Rock Cave more, hehe, isn't this out of nowhere?" When did the Marquis of Jinyi shelter the Black Rock Cave? If the Black Rock Cave follows the law of the country, then no one can embarrass them, but if the law of the country is violated, the local government will do things according to the law, and there is nothing to scruple about. ”

King Huainan stroked his beard and smiled: "What Hou Ye said is right, no one is as big as Wang Fa." He turned to Longtai and said: "Your Majesty, the Black Rock Cave is still going to rebel against taxes and kill officials, and what Lord Lu said is to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but it is not unreasonable, if you can quickly exterminate it and bring the Black Rock Cave Lord back to the capital, you will be able to kill a hundred people, so that the other caves of the Miao people will not dare to start the incident lightly." ”

Lu Xiao also arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this time the Black Lotus Holy Sect sent people to make trouble in the capital, and the Shenhou Mansion can already prove it, they even dared to rob people from the Shenhou Mansion, and even the Marquis of Jinyi was robbed by them, this is already a rebellion, this time you can first exterminate the Black Rock Cave, so that the Miao people dare not act rashly, let them know that my Great Chu's military might is invincible, and then they can start to eradicate the Black Lotus Holy Sect." ”

"Zhongyi Hou, do you mean the same thing?" Long Tai looked at Sima Lan, the Marquis of Zhongyi.

Marquis Zhongyi bowed down and said: "Back to the saint, if everything is true, in order to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, it is natural to exterminate it, and to bring the black rock cave master into the capital and behead it to show the public." But........! After a pause, he turned his eyes to Xu Guanfeng and asked in a deep voice, "What is the situation over there in the Black Rock Cave now?" How did Wei Shutong deal with it? ”

Xu Guanfeng said: "After this incident, Wei Tingshi has sent soldiers and horses to block the main roads around Heiyan Ridge, and the King of Shu has also sent Jin Guanwei to guard all places outside Heiyan Ridge to prevent them from escaping. It's just that before the emperor's will arrived, Wei Tingshi did not order an attack on Heiyan Ridge. ”

"Jin Guanwei is the soldiers and horses guarding the King of Shu, why do they want to go to Heiyan Ridge?" Qi Ning frowned.

Dou Kui smiled faintly and said: "Don't you know that there are six villages in the Black Rock Cave, and three of them live in the food of the King of Shu. ”

"Huh?"

King Huainan said with a smile: "When the Li family returned to the imperial court, the first emperor Longen was vast, not only gave the Li family a lot of rewards, retained his title of King of Shu, but also rewarded a lot of land, and sealed two thousand households, this black cave has three villages in the king of Shu's food, but these two thousand households are collected by the local government, and then sent to the Shu Wangfu. Now that the people of his own food are plotting against the rebellion, it is reasonable for the King of Shu to send troops. ”

Only then did Qi Ning come to his senses.

Sima Lan has already said: "Your Majesty, the excerpt of the King of Shu has arrived, but Wei Shutong's excerpt has not yet been sent to the capital, this matter is very important, not just a matter of a hole in the flower seedlings, the first emperor has always taken gentle means to the Miao people, so according to the old minister's opinion, wait until Wei Shutong's excerpt is sent to Beijing, and then discuss." ”

Longtai naturally understood what Sima Lan meant, and said, "What the Marquis of Zhongyi said is extremely true. ”

Lu Xiao couldn't help but say: "Old Marquis, if you don't start quickly, will you let the Black Rock Cave have time to prepare?" The Black Rock Cave is quite influential among the Hua Miao people, will they secretly contact the other caves of Hua Miao? ”

Sima Lan sneered and said, "If the imperial court is so jealous of the small black rock cave, how can it deter the entire Xichuan?" Although the Hua Miao people are barbaric and do not understand etiquette, they are not fools, if the Black Rock Cave is really a tax resistance and killing officials, the imperial court will exterminate it, and the other caves of Hua Miao will involve themselves because of the stupidity of the Black Rock Cave? Besides, it is the middle of winter now, and there must be heavy snow on the Xichuan side, and Heiyanling is the place where the Miao people of Heiyan Cave have lived for a long time, and they are very familiar with the terrain and environment there, coupled with this heavy snowfall, if the officers and soldiers forcibly attack, they are afraid that they will suffer a lot of losses. ”

Lu Xiao seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Qi Ning thought that this Sima Lan could be regarded as an old man's plan, but he also knew in his heart that Sima Lan's opposition to the immediate attack on Heiyan Cave Miao Village may not really be a selfless heart, or it may just be aimed at King Huainan and others.

From the very beginning, whether it was the Black Lotus Holy Sect or the Black Hole Rock, King Huainan, Lu Xiao and others seemed to want to send troops quickly, but Sima Lan was very serious, although he did not directly say that he could not attack, but the proposals he put forward were also postponed.

After Xu Guanfeng retreated, Longtai thought for a moment before he smiled and said, "Marquis of Jinyi, has the epidemic in Beijing been resolved?" ”

When Qi Ning entered the palace, he just didn't expect to discuss the matter of the Black Rock Cave, but he thought that the emperor would ask about the detoxification, and immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, yesterday there were more medicine application points in the capital, and the ministers applied the medicine on behalf of the heavens, and most of the infected people have already received the antidote." In order to prevent accidents, the minister ordered the application point to be withdrawn until noon today. ”

Long Tai smiled: "I already know, Ximen Wuxi, you said before, the antidote is immediate. ”

Ximen Wuxian arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the antidote cast by the emperor of Jinyi Hou is indeed immediate, and the minister has personally observed the condition of the person infected with the epidemic virus after taking the antidote, and overnight, it has improved greatly." ”

Long Tai smiled and said: "Jinyi Hou, this disaster has disappeared invisibly, you have made a great contribution, I am ready to reward you, what do you want me to reward?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is all the emperor's blessing, and the ministers dare not take credit." Qi Ning pretended to say: "Eat the king's lu, relieve the king's worries, as long as the emperor can no longer be worried, it is the best reward for the ministers." ”

Longtai laughed and said, "You inherited the marquis and got the title, but I haven't arranged an errand for you yet......!" After a pause, he said, "Your grandfather and your father are both the pillars of my Dachu army, so ...... I am prepared to serve you in the army. ”

The ministers had different expressions, but the Marquis of Zhongyi and the King of Huainan were all silent.

"Where does the emperor want his ministers to go?" Qi Ning didn't expect Longtai to let him go to the army, so he raised his head and said, "Do you want to let the minister go to the Qinhuai Army?" ”

Qi Jing was the chief general of the Qinhuai Legion, the strongest legion in Southern Chu, and Qi Ning naturally subconsciously felt that the emperor wanted to let him go to the Qinhuai Legion, thinking that this matter was not small, how could this little emperor not communicate with him in advance.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jinyi has not been in the army for a day, if you ...... If this side arranges to go to the Qinhuai Army, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. Moreover, Yue Huanshan has followed General Qi for many years, and he is the most familiar with the Qinhuai Legion, and now he is temporarily in command of the Qinhuai Legion, which can be said to be the most suitable person, ...... at this time! ”

Long Tai frowned and said, "Lu Xiao, when did I say that I would let Qi Ning go to the Qinhuai Legion?" ”

Lu Xiao was stunned, very embarrassed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Minister...... The minister should die, the minister is just dedicated to the country, so ......! ”

"I don't blame you." Long Tai waved his hand, "You get up." Waiting for Lu Xiao to get up, Long Taicai said: "I am preparing to let Qi Ning lead the Black Scale Battalion for the time being, the two generations of Jinyi Marquis are my famous generals of Dachu, and the Qi family is a family of military merits, I believe that Qi Ning can also inherit the family style of the Qi family of Jinyi Marquis and serve the country." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, and even the Marquis of Zhongyi was also surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Black Scale Camp is long gone, how can the Marquis of Jinyi lead the Black Scale Camp?" ”

Long Tai said: "I know that the Black Scale Camp fought with the Northern Han Blood Lan Army back then, and the whole army was wiped out, in fact, when the first emperor was alive, he talked to me about this matter, and the first emperor has always been ready to rebuild the Black Scale Camp, but the court is busy and has been delayed. I remembered what the first emperor said, and naturally I want to fulfill the wish of the first emperor, so I am ready to rebuild the Black Scale Camp, and it just so happens that all of you Aiqing are here today, I don't know what you think? ”
