After several ministers had seen the song, Zhao Zhen asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Jia Changchao first looked at the privy envoy Wang Yiyong: "Wang Shumi, the strongman hijacked the imperial court officials, and it is sensational, and he will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it." Does the Privy Council have a strategy? ”

Wang Yiyong's face was a little bitter after looking at the two privy envoys: "At present, many of the original officials of the Privy Council have been imprisoned, and the newly appointed officials have not yet started the errand, even if they are unable to deal with the mobilization of the army in the northwest and Hebei. If these thieves stay in the local area, it is fine, but if they cross the state and cross the government, it will be difficult to mobilize a large army to surround and intercept them. ”

Jia Chaochang then asked: "Then Wang Shumi thinks he should recruit An?" ”

"This ......" Wang Yiyong was very annoyed in his heart, Jia Chaochang must have asked him to express a clear opinion first, but as a privy envoy, he had no choice but to say to the emperor: "The minister thinks that when the Privy Council is not stable, it is not appropriate to appease these strongmen." ”

Jia Changchao nodded and looked at the other two ministers. Governor Song Zhen and Deputy Privy Envoy Wu Yu all made up their minds not to speak, so they listened to the emperor and the prime minister. Everyone knew that Han Qi caused this incident, and they were all annoyed that if Han Qi hadn't tried every means to mobilize the armed forces to suppress the bandits, he would not have made so many things happen, and he would not have caused the Privy Council to be paralyzed. Now Han Qi patted his ass and left, leaving a mess for them to wipe their butts, this is a pit man!

Although everyone thinks that Li Buqi, who is a villain, is not pleasing to the eye, they all want to rectify Li Buqi, and they don't want Li Buqi to make any more contributions to recruiting An Qiangren, but this matter is too big, and it is different from what was said.

What's more, the soft-boned Jin Liren also wrote a note asking the court to recruit a strong man, how can people object to this? Opposing Zhao'an may force a strongman to ruin Jin Liren's life. If they oppose the news of Zhao'an, they will definitely offend those magistrates who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will be pitted for them at some point in the future.

Seeing that there was no objection, Jia Changchao turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king's secret words are reasonable. Li Buqi made it clear that if troops were sent to encircle and suppress them, the strongmen would definitely have to flee, and it would cost a lot to pursue and suppress the thieves. Since these strongmen took the wrong path because they were wronged at the beginning, and now they have repented, even Zhao'an has no choice but to save a lot of money and food. ”

"It's just that the strongmen say that their hearts are to His Majesty, and they don't know if they can do it or not. If Li Buqi can be sure that the strongman is sincere, then the minister will recruit them. ”

Although Zhao Zhen's intelligence is not high, he has been in the court for so many years, and he has already mastered the basic routines, of course, he heard that there was a hole in Jia Xianggong's words. However, Li Buqi had already written in the song that he was going to use these strongmen, and the emperor had a bottom in his heart. It's just that after the reforms he personally managed were abolished by the concerted efforts of the whole court, the emperor actually didn't trust the officials he appointed more and more, so he didn't say anything about it, but said: "In this case, give Li Bu the right to act cheaply, and let him be fully responsible for this matter." What does Jia Qing think? ”

Jia Changchao smiled in his heart and immediately said, "The minister thinks it should be like this." ”

Then he glanced at Song Zhen and Wu Yu, and neither of them objected. They all know that Jia Xianggong dug a big hole for Li Buqi, as long as there is a little problem in the process of recruiting strong people, and even if there is a problem with these people after recruiting An, Li Buqi can't shirk the responsibility.

So the matter was settled. Soon Li Buqi got the edict, but he still had to act in a play, and Li Buqi took Tao Lin into the mountains twice to negotiate with the righteous army to determine the matter of Zhao'an. At this time, Li Buqi reported to the Privy Council in his own name and asked to put the box army formed by Zhao'an Qiangren under his command.

This is blatantly raising the dead! This is the most taboo thing for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. The people who were waiting to catch Li Buqi were all happy, and immediately reported to the emperor that Li Buqi had the intention of rebellion. But what everyone didn't expect was that the emperor just said lightly: "I know about this." Li Buqi is planning for my Great Song Dynasty for eternity, and this matter is allowed to him. ”

Now my eyeballs fell to the ground. The emperors of the Great Song Dynasty had persecution paranoia, and whoever dared to give him some soldiers would not sleep well, so the magistrates did not dare to renovate the city and train the people to maintain law and order. Li Buqi can make the emperor who is so psychologically fragile tolerate him to include hundreds of strongmen who dare to kidnap the prefect under his command, what a great trust it must be.

This incident made the discerning people in the court see Li Buqi's status in the emperor's heart, and temporarily put away the idea of digging a pit for Li Buqi at will, but at the same time, it also aroused the jealousy of more people - how can a martial artist get the emperor's unconditional trust, shouldn't this trust be the patent of Wenchen? As a result, more people are now the same enemy, ready to grab Li Bu's braids.

But they really don't have a chance. The prefect of Jin is a lesson from the past, and the magistrates who don't know the truth all privately say that Li Buqi is a plague god, and no one wants to get this disaster star to their own territory. No one asked Li Buqi to suppress the bandits, Li Buqi was a little Chunze Supervisor to promote, guarding a Chunze Supervisor to do his own business, or to be responsible for his own profits and losses, what can you find fault with?

But that's for later. In mid-October, Li Buqi led the Zhenwu army to escort more than 600 strongmen from Zhao'an back to Chunze Prison, and Zhou Qing and others were already waiting for him in Chunze Prison. In order to let everyone in the righteous army understand that he Li Buqi was not talking nonsense, he summoned the leaders of the righteous army, Shi Feng, Luo Tong, Luo Yingniang and others, to meet with Zhou Qing.

"Zhou Qing, tell me about your going to sea." Li did not give up and instructed Zhou Qingdao.

Zhou Qing took out a chart from his bosom, put it on the table, spread it out, and said: "We went out to sea from Dengzhou according to what we said, and traveled southeast for a few days, first to the coast of Goryeo, and some Koreans came to investigate, but they were all small boats and could not catch up with our big ships. We continued south, and sure enough, we found a large island. The island is a hundred miles in circumference, with a high mountain, many rocks, and barren land. The islanders call themselves the country of Tamna, with a population of thousands, who live by farming and fishing, and some of them have small horses......"

"To the east of Tamna Island, there are five small islands, and there are more than 2,000 Japanese people on the island, who call themselves Tsushima. It is said that from Tsushima Island to the south is the Wa Kingdom, to the east is the vast sea, and to the north it is to bypass the eastern side of the Goryeo Peninsula. We traded silk and porcelain with the Japanese people, who were very poor and had nothing to exchange. I saw that the Japanese people were short and vulgar, and when they saw us and other goods, they seemed to have the idea of robbing them, but they didn't dare to do it when they saw that we were very well guarded. ”

"After a few days of sailing north from Tsushima, the coast was mountainous and sparsely populated. At this time, the sea breeze was getting stronger, and we returned the way we came, according to the instructions of the lifter. ”

Li Buqi pointed to Tamna Island on the map and said to the rebels: "This is your first stop. ”

Luo Xiucai asked suspiciously: "But this Brother Zhou just said, this place is rocky and the land is barren, how can we live there?" And the island already has a king, not a borderland. ”
