Chapter 30: The Divine Decree of the Left Minister
"Lord Zuo, a secret letter from Sima You."
In the mansion of the left prime minister in the south extension, the counselor Yu Geng came to the left prime minister with a letter.
"Sima You? What letter did he send me? Didn't he say that he was solely responsible for the affairs of the Northlands? Except for the northern army in Tailiang Prefecture, all of them are my people, and Pingliang Prefecture is also pressed by the holy decree of the imperial court. Could it be that he still has something to do? ”
As soon as he heard Sima You's letter, Qin Xiu immediately felt a burst of dissatisfaction, and said with a slight frown.
"This ...... The lower officials don't know, General Sima's secret letter to your lordship, how can the lower officials watch it at will. ”
The left trusts and trusts himself, but what should be done and what not should be done is still clear to anyone else.
"Bring it to me."
Qin Xiu didn't say anything, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took a secret letter and began to watch. And Yu Geng lowered his head, bent down slightly, and waited aside.
"Hey."
After reading the secret letter, Qin Xiu's face was already gloomy, as if it was about to drip water.
"The lower official is here."
Seeing Qin Xiu like this, Yu Geng couldn't help but scold Sima You in his heart. There is such a treasure land of feng shui in Tailiangzhou in the north, from the history of the assassin to the Taishou, they are all people from the left, and the strength of the family is relatively weak, and the only enemy is the northern army. It's all gone, the left minister is ready to subdue them, what else can you do with this?
"Go and find out the recent situation of Tailiang Prefecture in the north that I have copied during this time in the pavilion, I want to take a look."
"Yes, Zuo Xiang-sama."
Seeing that Qin Xiu was still normal, Yu Geng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the problem caused by Sima You this time is not too big, otherwise the people of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will have to suffer!
Yu Geng hurriedly turned around and left, and walked towards Qin Xiu's reading pavilion where the books were stored and the copied imperial court chapters.
"Lord Zuo, it should be these books, right?"
Soon, Yu Geng came to Qin Xiu with seven or eight booklets in his arms and respectfully placed them on the table.
"Yougeng, my counselor has changed four terms in total, and two of them are now in the history of assassination. There is another one who is now Tai Changqing, but among these many people, you know my heart best. ”
Qin Xiu looked at the backup sent by Yu Geng, none of which were useless, and couldn't help but nod, deeply feeling his efficiency and carefulness.
"Zuo Xiangmiao praised, the lower officials are just doing their part."
Yu Geng would not feel complacent and carried away because of Qin Xiu's two words. The phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is also applicable to such rights as Qin Xiu encroaching on the government and the opposition.
And so it was! Sima You, a fool, didn't even know that he was being used! ”
After carefully reading these books and local reports, Qin Xiu rubbed his brows, and then said with anger.
"Lord Zuo, what's wrong?"
Originally, Yu Geng didn't want to get involved, but Sima You was his old friend, so it would be better to get to know him more or less.
"Sima You, report to me that the Xu family has fallen to Xiao Yu. And the attitude of other families is also a little ambiguous. ”
"The Xu family? That house of the Northland's pawns? Although they have a small amount of money, compared to the current situation, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket and useless. ”
The counselor of the Left Prime Minister's Office, although his position is not high, is the personal person of the Left Minister. In many cases, even the prime minister is still trusted, so the large and small families of the entire Xu Kingdom and even the nearby countries, the high-ranking and powerful people can still be treasured, and the Xu family is naturally not a problem.
"But before that, a fire broke out in the Dharma Temple in the North Geography, and the entire temple was reduced to ashes. Xiao Yu and his nephew Yang Xing went to the Yuanfa Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and happened to meet Jian Sheng in the Yuanfa Temple. ”
Later, the matter was leaked, and public resentment boiled. Sima Youyan said that in order to appease the anger of the people, he relieved him of his military power and let him be idle at home. Now he is writing to ask about his next move, but ......"
"But?"
If someone is fishing, there will be fish to bite the bait, and the contrast is not mindful of being a fish.
"But what he meant in and out of his words was that he wanted the old man to approve his actions against the northern army."
"Lord Zuo, please forgive your outspokenness."
Regarding the matter of the Northern Army, in fact, Yu Geng also supports Sima You, and now he takes this opportunity to mention it.
"Say."
"Judging from the current situation, there is a good chance that Jian Sheng has taken refuge in Xiao Yu, and from the handwriting of Yuanfa Temple. Xiao Yu is probably not under his father Xiao Xiao, and he is ruthless, and the danger is even more than Xiao Xiao. At present, the army in the north can only punish it, but not take it. ”
Regarding Qin Xiu's decision to subdue the northern army last time, Yu Geng felt that something was wrong. The Northern Army was treated so unfairly by the imperial court, and Xiao Xiao indirectly died at the hands of Sima You, the commander of the Northland.
It can be said that the northern army should have been disappointed with the imperial court, so for the northern army, it still means to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"I know what you mean. I thought that as soon as Xiao Xiao died, the northern army would have no leader, and they could use it, but I didn't think that Huangkou Xiaoer still had some skills! ”
Qin Xiu's index finger tapped lightly on the table for a while, weighing the pros and cons between the two in his mind.
"Juggen!"
"The lower official is here!"
"Draw up a holy decree, let Sima You immediately raise troops to crusade against the traitor Xiao Yu and his party."
"This ......"
Qin Xiu's words frightened Yu Geng, his original intention was just to let Sima You curb Xiao Yu's development, and then unite with the Northland family to cut off the supply of the Northern Army. Pushing the northern army to a dead end step by step, just like dealing with Xiao Xiao before.
But Qin Xiu's determination this time was inevitably a little too big! Let yourself draft a decree? This is going to kill the head! Although Qin Xiuquan invaded the government and the opposition, the government decrees were accessible, and most of the affairs of the DPRK and China could be decided in one word.
But in the future, he is also the prime minister of Zuo, not the Son of Heaven! If something goes wrong, it's all over.
"I'll let you go, and you'll go!"
Qin Xiu saw that he was hesitant and timid, and he immediately became displeased.
"But...... Lord Zuo Xiang, this holy decree is sent to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will probably not agree to it! ”
"He'll agree."
Qin Xiu said in a sworn tone.
"My son Yao Jin has returned."
"Didn't General Yao go to Yuntai Prefecture to resist the Yeguo army? So soon, the class returned to the court? ”
"Beheaded 80,000 and captured 20,000, the former general of Yeguo, Panda, was beheaded by my son. The 130,000-strong army has already arrived at Wangjiang City, and it will arrive in Nanyan in three days at most. You say Your Majesty, and Fang Wei, will they disagree? ”
Qin Xiu asked Yu Geng rhetorically with a look of wisdom beads in his hand.
"Yes! The lower official understands, and the lower official will do it! ”
