What Li Buqi said in the Chongzheng Hall spread throughout Bianliang City that night, causing another outrageous uproar. Those civil officials and most literati may not have agreed with Yu Jing in the past, but there is no doubt that they are the same kind of people as Yu Jing in terms of only writing articles and scolding people but not doing anything practical. Therefore, Li Buqi gave Yu Jing a comment of "not enough success and more than failure", so that these people can empathize, in order to maintain their tall image of holding justice and omnipotent, they naturally want to criticize Li Buqi.

After Li Buqi got up, he picked up a few newspapers at random. glanced at the content of the front page, and saw that Guozijian's newspaper and several tabloids run by literati were all scolding him for not doing his best and shouting for Yu Jing, he couldn't help laughing.

This is what he wants, and only by stirring up this matter will people pay more attention to Quang Nam. As for Yu Jing, he will definitely not be able to turn over if he is branded as "incompetent". According to the history he knew, this war should have been fought until next year, and in the end, Di Qing led his troops south to settle the matter. Now that he is out of the way, he can stand and talk without backache, and insist that he has a way to solve it within two or three months, and it is better than this group of civil officials, anyway, these civil officials now have the same hatred and will never give him the opportunity to display his talents. And as long as there is no comparison, Yu Jing has no chance to wash away the suspicion of "incompetence".

He mourned for three minutes in silence for Yu Jing in his heart. In fact, he really didn't target Yu Jing, but who let Yu Jing meet him. Now he just waited to see how patient the emperor was. He knew that Zhao Zhen was not a strong-willed person, and he would change his mind from time to time, and he didn't know if he could have these civilian officials to make the war drag on for a long time.

Li Buqi was smiling, but Zhao Min asked with a worried face: "Official, I don't know when the official is expected to go on the expedition?" ”

Li Buqi was stunned: "Going on the expedition?" ”

"yes. Didn't the officials say that they were going to Quang Nam for five years? Officials are never untargeted, and since they say so, they must be decided. Zhao Min said leisurely.

Li Buqi smiled, hugged Zhao Min's waist and put a hand on her belly that was bulging again, and smiled: "I can't help it." Didn't you see the blood spray of your family officials being scolded? I hope that Yu Jing's gang can rise up and destroy Nong Zhigao immediately, and save your family officials from being exposed to the poisonous sun. ”

Zhi Yinghui happened to come in and said with a smile: "The official is insincere." I'm afraid that my mind has already flown to Quang Nam by now, right? ”

Li Buqi smiled embarrassedly and put gold on his face: "Didn't Fan Xiwen say 'worry about the world first', your husband is a hard worker, who let those officials fail." ”

Just as he was saying this, a maid outside reported that someone had come to the palace.

Zhao Zhen sent someone so early, it seems that he definitely didn't sleep well last night.

Li Buqi went outside, and when he saw that the person was Wang Zhongzheng. Wang Zhongzheng did not announce the decree, but only whispered to him: "The official family wants to hear the official's thoughts on Guangnan and invite the official into the palace." ”

Li did not give up but did not agree, but said: "There are some things in Guangnan that need to be carefully considered. Some of the ideas I mentioned yesterday were only improvised, and I will have to consider them carefully. You go back and tell the official, give me three days, and I will draw up a detailed note, and then I will play it to the official. ”

Wang Zhongzheng knew that Li Buqi was different from ordinary civil officials, and all his arguments needed to be supported by a large amount of data and facts, so it was natural to be slower. This is not the first time that Li Buqi has asked to delay his entry, so he nodded and said, "In this way, the little one will reply to the official family like this." ”

Three days later, Li Buqi really wrote a thick book and handed it to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and he quietly summoned Li Buqi for two days in a row to discuss this tie. To be honest, he was deeply attracted by the prospects described to him by Li Buzhi, but for several days in a row, it has become politically correct for the Chinese courtiers to desperately belittle Li Buzhi, and he, the emperor, does not dare to be his edge. Moreover, some of the measures written by Li Buqi in the tie were unprecedented, and he could not judge whether it was right or wrong, so he had to keep the content of the tie secret according to Li Buqi's request and not mention the matter for the time being. Seeing Li Buqi's unhurried and impatient appearance, it made him completely relax his vigilance against Li Buqi's undisguised behavior of asking for official power that day.

What the emperor didn't expect was that after Li Buqi's words spread out, many people were concerned about whether Li Buqi could be the governor of Liangguang, not only the people of Daxiangguo Temple, but even the concubines in his harem asked sideways. Concubine Zhang Guifei has always been pampered and arrogant, and in order to ask her uncle Zhang Yaozuo for an official position, she can make Zhao Zhen unable to step down in front of the minister. Now when I ask about Li Buqi, since he is also bolder than others, there is obvious support for Li Buqi in his words.

Zhao Zhen knew that Zhang Guifei had been looking at Li Buqi unpleasantly, and thought that Zhang Guifei wanted to take the opportunity to drive Li Buqi to Lingnan, so he asked unhappily: "Aifei, why do you care about the affairs of Guangnan?" ”

Zhang Guifei has always spoken straightforwardly, which is why Zhao Zhen likes her. Today, she also went straight to the point: "The official family doesn't know yet, right? As soon as they heard that they were going to issue treasury bonds, many people asked the slave family about it. Who doesn't know that Li Buqi has the ability of Tao Zhugong? Although he asked the government to issue this treasury bond with an annual interest rate of only five cents, the benefits brought by him were more than that. Even if the slave family has a few pieces of money, they are also moved. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhao Zhen was still puzzled: "I heard from the Imperial City Division that the interest on Bianliang's loan is far higher than this national debt?" ”

Zhang Guifei said: "The slave family also learned from those people. There are times when this money lending cannot be recovered, and there are also debts that run away to donate money, which is very troublesome. Besides, in the past two years, there has been either drought or flooding, and if the debt collection is land, there will be no interest. Therefore, if you have money, it is better to put it in Li Buqi's hands to earn interest and worry. It is most reassuring to put the money in Li Bu's hands. ”

Listening to the pillow wind too much, Zhao Zhen's heart also itched, but every day when he saw a group of courtiers with cold eyebrows, he withered, and he could only watch secretly.

However, Li Buqi has not commented on the war in Guangnan since he demoted Yu Jing to nothingness, but often introduced some geographical knowledge of Guangnan and the neighboring Jiaozhi and Dali in the newspapers.

As a result, history still proceeds more or less according to its original course. The civilian officials also fought hard this time, and used all kinds of tricks to finally ensure the needs of the Guangnan War, but the defeat of the official army again and again made Zhao Zhen's patience less and less. Pang Ji also found that the emperor was becoming more and more impatient, and when he found that Nong Zhigao's troops were pointing directly at Jing Xiang, he had to suggest that Di Qing lead his troops south to quell the rebellion, and Di Qing also asked Ying to go, and Zhao Zhen finally had to use this method, which was considered the most expensive and food-consuming.

Sending troops south to quell the rebellion has always been said by civilian officials to be a desperate method because it costs too much money and food, and it has been strongly discouraged. But now the situation is stronger than people, and reality has proved that Li Buqi is correct.

Yu Jing was burdened with the responsibility of fighting for the civilian officials, and the pressure was very great, at this time he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and asked to borrow troops from Jiaozhi to attack Nong Zhigao, and said in the song that he had prepared 20,000 military rations and 20,000 yuan of silver for borrowing troops from Jiaozhi. And Zhao Zhen agreed under the persuasion of Pang Ji and others, and promised that after the matter was completed, the imperial court would give Jiaozhi another 30,000 guan. Five days after Di Qingshuai's army set off, there was a secret report from Yongzhou in Guangnan that the Jiaozhi people had entered Yongzhou City.

At the beginning, Nong Zhigao only stayed for a few days after occupying Yongzhou City and left, leaving no one to defend. After the Nong army left, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty came back to appease the people, but they suddenly saw that the Jiaozhi soldiers were so big that they claimed to help the Great Song Dynasty to seek Nong Zhigao. This was invited to help in the war, and the governor of Yongzhou ordered the Jiaozhi army to be stationed outside the city and buy cattle wine to go out of the city to reward the army. But unexpectedly, the Jiaozhi army took this opportunity to capture a few officials, seize the door, loot, and occupy Yongzhou City.

When the imperial court sent someone to inquire about Yu Jing on this matter, a military report came from the Guangnan Station of the Police Division that on the 5th day of the first month of October, the Jiaozhi army landed in Qinzhou by boat, and the local officials went to the labor army, but the Jiaozhi army expelled the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, occupied the towns, and looted on a large scale, and the local officials and ordinary people were killed and injured many people in theory. Now the Guangnan Metropolitan Transit Department is suppressing this news and sending people to negotiate with the Jiaozhi people. However, the report concludes by mentioning that the Jiaozhi people seem to want to occupy Qinzhou and other places, and have no intention of leaving to fight Nong Zhigao.

When the news was sent to Li Buqi, Li Buqi was indeed a little surprised. In his memory, the Jiaozhi people did not invade when Nong Zhigao rebelled, but now it seems that history has changed.

He flipped through past intelligence briefings and found that this variable was not surprising. Because there were many merchant ships in the Great Song Dynasty who traveled back and forth between Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, the merchants of Jiaozhi and Zhancheng often went to Guangzhou with the ships to trade, including the eunuchs around Li Dezheng, the king of Jiaozhi. Naturally, when Li Buqi was investigating the internal situation of Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, it was obvious that Li Dezheng also knew the inside story of the Great Song Dynasty better than in history. Now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 Nong Zhigao has been rampant on the two roads in Guangnan for more than half a year, if Li Buqi stands in Li Dezheng's point of view, he also thinks that the army of the Great Song Dynasty is a pile of waste, and it is strange not to take advantage of the fire to rob.

But that's fine, since Jiaozhi jumped out by himself, it is justified that Li Buqi will have to find a reason to clean up Jiaozhi again than in the future. And since Jiaozhi is involved, then this battle will be even bigger, and the Great Song Dynasty has people who can win this war, but those who can agree to the war at the lowest possible cost will be counted until Li does not give up. Li didn't give up, and he didn't believe that anyone else would dare to hinder him from being the governor of Liangguang and acting cheaply, this Jiaozhi was really a divine assist.
