Volume III Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 146 Deployment Inside and Outside
Saying that, Qiu Yizhi sent the document to Qin Guangyuan and said, "Mr. Qin is the leader of the literary world, please take a look at these things, can you still write them in your eyes?" ”
Qin Guangyuan saw that the words on the paper were upright and beautiful, and there was quite a bit of style between the strokes, and he immediately had a good impression, and was just about to pick it up and read it carefully, but unexpectedly, Qiu Yizhi had already collected the document and asked: "Mr. Qin, this is what I discussed and drafted with Mr. Lin Shuhan, the 'Half Song Layman', can I be quite eye-catching?" ”
Qin Guangyuan has lived for such an age, of course, he is knowledgeable about current affairs, so he nodded and said without thinking about it: "The moral article is really extraordinary, and it is really extraordinary." ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled half teasingly, half satisfied, put a few documents on the several cases in the queen's hand, and said: "Since Mr. Qin Guangyuan has no opinions, then ask the queen to use the seal." Saying that, Qiu Yizhi first took out the "Great Seal of the Prison Country" from his arms, smeared it with ink, and stamped the seals on the documents one by one.
The queen also knew that she had no room for opposition now, and the result she faced was not completely unacceptable, so she had to get up and take out a box from the cabinet, open it, take out a seal made of jasper, and put it in front of Qiu Yizhi: "Yizhi, where do you want to cover it, please do it." ”
Qiu Yizhi was not polite, took the queen's seal again, personally wiped the seal mud, and stamped the document that had been stamped with the seal of the prison country.
So Qiu Yizhi looked at these documents that he had concocted with a satisfied expression, and greeted Lin Shuhan who came to the door with a proud tone, asking him to carefully frame these pages of documents that were as light as cicada wings and as heavy as Mount Tai, and issued them to the world.
After finishing the matter, Qiu Yizhi casually wrapped the queen's seal and carried it in his arms.
When the queen saw him doing this, she immediately stopped him: "Yizhi, this doesn't seem to be in place, right? How can you take my seal with you? ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "This is not your seal, but the queen's seal." But don't forget, you are now the 'Queen Mother', and this seal will be given to the new queen after the emperor's wedding, and I will keep it for the first time. ”
The former "Empress" Niangniang, who had been promoted to the "Empress Dowager", finally realized the change in her identity, and there was no reason to stop Qiu Yizhi's actions, so she had to sit down in her chair and weep.
Qiu Yizhi has not closed his eyes for a few days and nights since a big battle in Tongguan, and now that things are almost confirmed, a sense of sleepiness suddenly came to his head, his head was dizzy, and his eyelids slowly drooped down without obeying the call.
It was this moment of deep sleep that made his mind sober up again, and he ordered: "When the Empress Dowager is grieving, no one can take care of her. Your Majesty, you are now a moral model in the world, and you can't help but keep filial piety, so you can work with the Empress Dowager in this 'Lizheng Palace' to guard the soul of Emperor Daxing. The title of Mrs. Daqin has not been removed, so please accompany her here. Mr. Qin is the same. ”
Qiu Yizhi cleared his throat and said: "As for Mrs. Xiao Qin, she is already the identity of the Queen Mother, but now that the situation is unknown and it is inconvenient to move the palace, I will temporarily wronged you to rest in the palace next to the 'Lizheng Palace', and the people who are waiting with you are all in accordance with the regulations of the Queen Mother." If you suspect that these eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are rough with their hands and feet, it is also very convenient to tell me that the subordinates who are used to the third brother's palace will come into the palace to serve. It's just that the queen is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she can't be too sad, and her body will not be good if she is worried. ”
Mrs. Xiao Qin was at a loss, and after listening to Qiu Yizhi's arrangement, she could only nod and say, "It's all up to my uncle...... arrangement."
Everyone in the palace saw that the identities of Mrs. Qin and the two sisters had changed greatly, and their treatment was also in the sky and underground, and they all vaguely felt that the general trend of today had slid away in an unpredictable and even more uncontrollable direction. They asked themselves, maybe they really thought that instead of being an outsider like Qiu Yizhi, maybe it would be better for Zheng Xin, who had committed the unforgivable sin, to dominate the political situation!
But now this group of people in the court, although they are the empress dowager, emperor, and prince, are all trapped in the corner of the "Lizheng Palace" by Qiu Yizhi, cut off from the outside world, and can only be at the mercy of Qiu Yi.
In fact, the current situation, not to mention the entire Han world, is this Forbidden City, and the capital of Qiuyi may not be able to control it all. As long as these nobles who are almost under "house arrest" and stranded in the "Lizheng Palace" can send one or two cronies to pass on the news, they may not have a chance to turn things around. But among these people, they are either women who are raised in the deep palace and don't care about the world, or they are literati who only know empty talk, and they have neither the courage nor the heart to do such risky things.
Qiu Yizhi did not dare to take it lightly, and after going out, he ordered his subordinates to strictly guard this "Lizheng Palace", personally sent Mrs. Xiao Qin, who was already the "Queen Mother", to rest in the palace with peace of mind, and sent people to transfer loyal guards from Zheng Miao's palace to protect Mrs. Xiao Qin.
After the arrangements were made, Qiu Yizhi personally led people to the "Shang Bao Division" in the palace who was in charge of keeping the seals, and took out all the spare seals of the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor who were temporarily sealed and kept them by himself.
After that, he used these seals to seal letters, in the name of the emperor, the prison state, the queen mother, and the empress dowager, and constantly issued decrees, and the guards of the palace and the capital came to a big transfer.
In the name of the prison state, he will stay on the north bank of the Yangtze River
Subsequently, he controlled all the foreign missions stationed in the capital Luoyang, and strictly forbade them to go out without authorization, but he only paid great respect to Prince Ulton sent by the Bohai State in Luoyang, and asked him about the domestic situation of the Bohai State from time to time, and by the way, he also inquired about the son born to the county lord Yiran.
After three or four days in this way, Wang Lao Wu, who was sent out to contact Li Shengjie, rushed to the capital, and also brought a person in charge of liaison under Li Shengjie to Beijing to meet Qiu Yizhi by the way.
Qiu Yizhi requisitioned a military camp next to the imperial city as a temporary residence, and saw that Wang Lao Wu brought Li Shengjie's liaison over, and did not greet him, so he asked the two of them to bring their own handwritten letters, and then went back to Li Shengjie, asking Li Shengjie to act according to his own strategy.
Not long after, Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiangnan Province Jiedu who was sent by Qiu Yizhi to the side of Wei Hu, the left general of Huguang Province, also sent someone to deliver a letter.
The letter said: "Qing told General Wei Hu, who was stationed in Huguang, about Zheng Xin's rebellion and rebellion in accordance with Qiu Yizhi's instructions. Sure enough, General Wei Hu didn't fully believe what Liu Qing said, but he didn't say it completely, but locked himself in the room alone and scolded himself for a day, and no one dared to disturb him. At this time, a holy decree also came from Jinling City, asking Wei to go to Jinling to report on his work. After Liu Qing learned about it, he naturally wanted to dissuade Wei Hu from going over to die. Ke Wei Hu considered that the holy decree could not be easily disobeyed, and the other also wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on in Jinling City, so he only led a dozen or so personal soldiers to rush to Jinling at night......
Liu Qing felt that the matter might have reached the point of no return, so he hurriedly wrote this letter, found a junior officer in the army who had been gracious, and asked him to send it to Qiu Yizhi immediately.
Qiu Yizhi estimated the time of this coming-and-going journey, Wei Hu had been there for four or five days, according to Wei Hu's cleverness and alertness, it was not difficult to find out the fact that Zheng Xin had committed chaos and murdered the king, and with his character, he would never be disobedient and evil. In this way, Zheng Xin arrested Wei Hu and put him under house arrest, and at worst he killed him ruthlessly.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi knew that the big thing was not good, so he asked the officer who reported the news to eat and rest in his mansion, and he wrote a reply letter with great effort. In the letter, Liu Qing was asked to pay close attention to Wei Hu's movements, and to inform himself immediately of any changes in the situation; If Wei Hu was really killed by Zheng Xin, he must use his identity as a general in Zhendong to stabilize the Xiangyang battalion in Huguang, even if he can't participate in the battle, he must not be disturbed or absorbed by Zheng Xin.
After Qiu Yizhi hurriedly wrote the letter, he gave the officer a reward of dozens of taels of gold and a promotion, and asked him to return to Liu Qing without stopping.
It took only half a day to send Liu Qing's messenger away, and someone sent a letter over, but the initiator of this letter frightened Qiu Yi, it was no one else, but Xu Rong, who was recommended by Qiu Yizhi as the governor of Yuezhou. Although this Xu Rong was subdued by Qiu Yi's grace, he was still an old man in Zheng Xin's mansion after all, and I don't know how much of the content of his letter could be believed and how much was a lie.
So Qiu Yizhi sent someone to settle Xu Rong's messenger, and did not open his letter, so he went to find Lin Shuhan to open it and screen it together.
Lin Shuhan has been helping one of Qiu Yi's peers to serve as the envoy to the country in the past few days, helping to deal with both military and political affairs, and he is very busy, and when he saw Qiu Yizhi coming in, he immediately complained: "At the beginning, Emperor Daxing wanted to ask me to go out of the mountain to be an official, and allowed me to be the next prime minister. Unexpectedly, after so many twists and turns, this 'idle person' still can't be done. My lord, I see how busy I am now, and what is the difference between me and the prime minister? ”
Qiu Yizhi knew that Lin Shuhan's words were half complaining and half joking, and he also sighed: "I can empathize with Mr. Lin's situation. I also wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests, but I didn't expect that the official was getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibility was getting heavier and heavier. But I thought that being able to swim freely among the mountains and rivers was nothing more than my own selfish desire after all. Compared with the heavenly principle of maintaining the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, these selfish desires can only be put forward first, Mr. Lin, do you say this is the truth? ”
Qiu Yizhi's words were very loud and righteous, so that Lin Shuhan had no room to refute, but he didn't want to nod his head in agreement, but said: "Okay, okay, Lin can't say that it's an adult." Could it be that the adults came here today just to tell me this great truth? ”
Qiu Yizhi then remembered that he still had something serious on his body, so he said: "How dare you, it's because I have a letter here, maybe it's a big deal, and I want to ask Mr. to consider it together." ”
