Qin Minzhong looked left and right, and said in his heart that he, the head of a hundred officials, had to come forward to stop the emperor from messing around, so he had to stand up again.

But Li Guanqi didn't wait for Qin Minzhong to speak, so he also spoke first: "What do you have to say?" Is it possible to oppose this relocation of the capital? ”

Qin Minzhong swallowed his saliva and said, "Exactly, the minister thinks that this matter of moving the capital is not feasible. As the old saying goes......"

"Alright, no need to say it." Li Guanqi interrupted Qin Minzhong and said, "I don't need to ask your reasons again, because you must have a bunch of reasons waiting for me. I only ask you, now that the rebels are rampant and the military situation is urgent, you all know that this place is more than 2,000 miles away from the front line, and it will take nearly ten days for the fastest military intelligence report to come and go, if I don't come to the front line in person, how should this battle be fought? As long as you can come up with a perfect way, I will promise you to stay in Jinling forever and not go out. ”

Qin Minzhong was an honest man, and he didn't hear that Li Guanqi's question was actually full of traps, so he replied honestly: "The ministers don't know much about military affairs, and they don't dare to say anything about it, but it's just that it's not okay to conquer and move the capital." ”

Li Guanqi sneered and said, "You also know that you don't understand military affairs? I don't know anything about military affairs, but I also know that there is no one who is undefeated in the rear and commanding the front. So, I'm definitely going to this frontline. However, it is also for my own good that you do not let me go to the expedition, and I thank you for your care. As for moving the capital, I was joking with you, so that you could understand my determination to go to the front. ”

Qin Min and others are also aware of Li Guanqi's temper, he never forbids ministers to speak, and he is willing to accept good opinions, but once he determines something, he will unswervingly implement it. Now listening to Li Guanqi's tone, Qin Minzhong already understood. The possibility of wanting Li Guanqi not to go to the front line is basically gone. But he really didn't have any good ideas to think of, so he had to look at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu actually did not object to Li Guanqi's personal expedition, but the ministers were unanimously opposed, and if he expressed a different opinion, he would isolate himself, so he never spoke. Now I see Qin Minzhong giving himself a look. Then you know the right time has come. So he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has the best of both worlds, which can not only allow His Majesty to command the battle ahead, but also try to avoid the Holy Lord being in danger. ”

"Oh?" Li Guanqi immediately became interested, and said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what is the method." ”

"Your Majesty, please come to Jiangzhou and inspect the general army of Jiangnan West Road." Zhao Pu expressed his opinion.

Li Guanqi is really happy in his heart, Zhao Pu is really good at exploiting loopholes. Jiangzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Fuling. Even if he drove the expedition himself, the Chinese army camp would not be much closer than here, and he could just go over to see Cao Shixun, the emperor came in person, forgive him Cao Shixun no matter how utilitarian he was, he had to swear allegiance. The key to Zhao Pu's suggestion is that in the name of the emperor's patrol, the ministers can't oppose Li Guanqi's inspection of his own land, right?

"Quasi-play!" Li Guanqi happily agreed with Zhao Pu's proposal. Then he rushed to Manchao Wenwu and said, "This matter is decided." Let's decide on the dispatch of troops. Xu Quan, you are the deputy envoy of the privy council, so let's talk about it first. ”

Xu Quan thought for a moment and said: "Li Moran's south and east are Lingnan Dao, and now Lingnan Dao is neutral, Li Moran is not too many enemies. He will definitely choose to go north and join forces with Chen Guangxi, and cross the river east in Fuling together. And Chen Guangxi has always been conceited, and in order to take the lead on the battlefield, seven or eight times out of ten he will cross the river on his own. Therefore, the minister's opinion is to send troops to block the Wujiang ferry as soon as possible. At Wujiang, the vanguard of Chen Guangxi was defeated first, and then slowly advanced. ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Yesterday, I have ordered people to urgently dispatch 600 li to General Yuanzhou to lead his troops to intercept the Wujiang ferry. Today, the generals will return to the camp and get ready, and tomorrow they will leave the camp at three o'clock in the morning, and the cavalry guards will be the vanguard, and they must rush to the bank of the Wujiang River within seven days, and the vanguard units of the rest of the armies will be stationed in Fuling within 20 days, and all the troops must rush to the war zone within 30 days. ”

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

"Lin Bai." Li Guanqi also named and said, "This war, Henan, Huainan, Lingnan garrisons must be very concerned, although they do not dare to blatantly fall to the rebels, but once our army is unfavorable to the war, they will be ready to move, if they are allowed to unite with Li Chen's rebels, then we will fall into an embattled situation, so the pacification of these three provinces must still be done well, and I will leave this matter to you." ”

"Please rest assured. The minister must live up to his mission! Lin Bai did not resist this errand.

Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Li Guanqi got up and said, "Uncle Li, draft the purpose." On this expedition, I personally served as the commander-in-chief, the privy deputy envoy Xu Quan was the deputy commander-in-chief, Yang Poyan, the household servant, was promoted as the general manager of grain and grass supervision, and Zhao Pu, a scholar of Dongge University, traveled with me. Qin Minzhong, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, stayed in Beijing, acting as the prime minister, and Dongfang Rui, a scholar of Tirenge University, assisted by him. All military newspapers and important official documents are sent to my temporary palace with an expedited 600 li every day. This battle is related to the fortune of the country, and I hope that all the Qing families will be sincerely united, fulfill their duties, and live up to my expectations. ”

Everyone knelt down in unison to receive the order, and shouted three times long live.

Qin Minzhong played again: "Please set up a prince before the emperor leaves." ”

"What?" Li Guanqi was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"For the sake of the country, please set up a prince for the emperor!" Qin Minzhong said it again.

Li Guanqi laughed and said, "I don't have an heir yet!" What kind of prince did you set up? ”

"Although the emperor has no princes, there are still princes in the capital, and they can also be princes!" Qin Minzhong continued to fulfill his duties.

Li Guanqi was slightly unhappy in his heart: Qin Minzhong, isn't this adding to the chaos? He finally calmed down all the kings when he dealt with Long Xiangwei, so that they could break off their thoughts. And at this time you will let yourself make one of them the prince? Doesn't that immediately hook their minds again? And they are all their own brothers, and whoever they set up or not will offend others. It's over, when I come back and have an heir, what will I do with this prince who is now established?

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi said without hesitation: "This discussion is not appropriate, it is not allowed!" ”

Qin Minzhong continued: "Then what if something unspeakable happens to the emperor in front of him, what should the ministers do? ”

Li Guanqi saw that Qin Minzhong was still entangled in this issue, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said angrily: "You just want me to do something?" ”

"Huh?" Qin Minzhong was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The minister has no such intention, the minister is ......."

"That's it! No need to explain! I know you don't mean anything! Li Guanqi waved his hand and said, "However, I also said that this discussion is not appropriate, and it is not allowed!" Take good care of your home and wait for me to triumph! ”

Qin Minzhong saw that Li Guanqi's attitude was also very tough, and he knew that it was useless to continue talking, so he retreated silently. (To be continued......)
