"Could it be that Lord Fei wants to defect to the Lingnan Prince?" Lin Shuhan asked.

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he immediately denied it: "Mr. thinks too much. Even if you fight to the next soldier, you will not surrender to the king of Lingnan. Mr. Lin should not mention this matter again. If Mr. Lin is unwilling to go to the national disaster with me, please ask Mr. to take it easy, and give it away from another ceremony, which will not be strange. ”

Lin Shuhan smiled again: "My lord is underestimating me, Lin is not here to persuade the adult to surrender, on the contrary, if the adult wants to defect to the Lingnan prince, Lin will persuade him!" ”

Lin Shuhan looked at Qiu Yi's eyes that widened in confusion, and smiled again: "Whether it's rebellion or rebellion, it's about the time, place, and people, and now although the prince of Lingnan is arrogant, these three are not occupied, why did he succeed?" That's what I want to advise you. ”

Qiu Yizhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly got up and poured water into the empty teacup in front of Lin Shuhan, and asked respectfully: "Sir, what is this saying, please give me advice." ”

Uncle Lin took a sip of half-lukewarm tea, and said eloquently: "Today, the emperor has succeeded in rebellious, and he occupies the time, place, and people of this day, and waits for Lin to come to the adults one by one:

"First of all, it's the time of day. At the beginning, the emperor crusaded against the puppet emperor Zheng Yao, he was not in the right position, not to mention that God did not bless him, and even the close ministers and guards were not convinced. I remember that my lord once told me that when the imperial city was finally attacked, only a few eunuchs resisted stubbornly, and this is the proof of this. But the emperor has sat firmly in the country, everyone praises the emperor as the reincarnation of Yao Shun, and the king of Lingnan goes against the sky, why is he successful?

"Let's talk about location. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to fight in the south of the Yangtze River because of the Yangtze River moat. However, no matter how rich Jiangnan is, as long as the Central Plains is determined to unify China, the Yangtze River has never hindered the heavenly soldiers from going south. On the contrary, since ancient times, there has never been an example of unification from the south wanting the Northern Expedition. What's more, the king of Lingnan has not yet occupied the entire territory of Jiangnan, and the court of the Yangtze River and the Lingnan royal palace each account for half, so it is not possible to talk about which is better or worse. Moreover, this time the adults went deep into Lingnan, and the Lingnan Road knew everything about the truth and reality, if the king of Lingnan lost power for a while, I am afraid that he would not even be able to be a turtle with a shrunken head!

"As for the people, they have no relationship with the King of Lingnan. When the emperor rebelled, it was the day when the court had no way, the people had no livelihood, food and clothing, and even good people attached themselves to the cult and raised the banner to rebel. With the current emperor's order, the prestige is naturally determined by the rumor, and the momentum is like a bamboo. However, now that the people are determined and are about to recuperate for a few years of peace of mind, the reason why the emperor is unwilling to immediately implement the new policy and the people is also one of the reasons. Under such circumstances, the prince of Lingnan still rashly raised troops and moved against the will of the people, how can there be any reason for success? ”

After Lin Shuhan finished saying these words, Qiu Yizhi jumped up happily and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is saying this well!" If you polish and sort it out, it will be an excellent counterinsurgency article! It's a pity that this is a remote and deserted temple, and there are no four treasures of the study, which is a pity for Mr. 's talent. When I return to Shanyin County, I will ask Mr. to start writing, and you and I will sign it together, send it to the Shengshang, and then issue it to the world, maybe our army has succeeded for more than half of it. ”

Lin Shuhan also smiled proudly when he heard Qiu Yizhi's praise like this, and then returned to normal, and said: "My lord has won the award, it doesn't matter if Wen Tao is the main thing, Wu Luo is the main thing." After all, the Lingnan Army is now powerful, I don't know what countermeasures the adults have? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, sighed long, and said, "I'm in a mess now, what else can I think?" Only now go back to Sanyin County first, so that the brothers can recuperate and recuperate. Looking forward to the remoteness and namelessness of Shanyin County, the king of Lingnan did not notice. Wait for the emperor's army to come over to quell the rebellion, and then cooperate in the battle. ”

Lin Shuhan shook his head and said, "Adults are talented, far from this. I'm afraid that the emperor's hope for the adults is also to let the adults lead the overall situation when the king of Lingnan rebels, right? ”

Qiu Yizhi was afraid that Emperor Zheng Rong had too much hope for him, and when he heard Lin Shuhan say this, he was terrified, half humble, half truthful: "How can I have such a ability? Just to save the people of Shanyin County and the lives of my brothers, it is enough. ”

Lin Shuhan suddenly smiled slyly: "The gold medal arrow next to the adult is probably going to be wasted, right?" ”

Qiu Yizhi trembled when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Lin, are you ...... You...... How do you know I have a gold medal arrow? ”

This gold medal arrow was given to him by Emperor Zheng Rongqin before Qiu Yizhi came to Shanyin County to be an official. The golden arrow is the symbol of the emperor himself, with which he can mobilize the world's armies. Zheng Rong originally gave this extremely important object to Qiu Yizhi, so that once the king of Lingnan was in trouble, Qiu Yizhi could use this object to organize an army on the spot to resist the first wave of attacks for the imperial court, and then let the imperial court calmly send troops to quell the rebellion.

Qiu Yizhi originally had the heart of returning to the countryside, and was originally reluctant to accept this thing, but the emperor had made up his mind, and Qiu Yizhi did not dare to resist and refuse. However, since he came to Jiangnan, he has been in danger several times, and has even been besieged by dozens of times his own official army, and his life is in danger.

Therefore, when Qiu Yizhi heard Lin Shuhan say that he had this thing, he was of course very surprised.

Lin Shuhan smiled and said, "The adult's clothes are all cleaned up by Miss Yang Ying'er. She is like a sister, and occasionally mentions that adults often carry a large piece of gold with them. If it weren't for the joke told to me, it was said that adults were very cautious, and they always kept money by their side in case of accidents. ”

Uncle Lin paused and said, "But I know that adults are not misers, and I have heard and laughed. But I knew in my heart that a piece of gold of such size and shape as Yang Ying'er described, and that adults cherished so much, must be a gold medal arrow. ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled to himself when he heard this: "Mr. Lin is really a living immortal!" I do have such a thing around me. As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi took out an object wrapped in yellow silk from his arms, held it in his hand very respectfully, and said, "That's it." ”

Lin Shuhan also respectfully took it in his hand, and carefully uncovered the yellow silk on it, but saw that the arrow was purely cast in red gold, and it was engraved with the extremely simple four seal characters "If I am coming".

This gold medal made the arrow very heavy, and Lin Shuhan held it in his hand even more like a thousand pounds, and after a few more glances, he re-blindfolded Huang Aya, returned it to Qiu Yizhi's hands, and said: "The student is really eye-opening today, really eye-opening!" ”

Qiu Yizhi put the gold medal arrow back in his arms, shook his head and said, "This seems to others to be a treasure, but it is an incomparably heavy burden beside me. ”

Lin Shuhan immediately answered: "Because it is precious, it is heavy. My lord, please forgive Lin for saying that he is not ashamed, this thing is the lever to pry the world! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shuhan suddenly stood up and paced and said: "Lin wants adults to rely on this treasure to gather the soldiers who were defeated by the King of Lingnan from all over the country, and regain their strength to fight with the King of Lingnan again. Please don't be discouraged, Lin believes that with the talents of adults, he will definitely be able to show his strength and make this first contribution. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: the so-called "immortal merit" was made in the battle of rebellion before, but it was this "immortal merit" that became his biggest heart disease.

Lin Shuhan saw that Qiu Yizhi's expression was a little sluggish, but he felt strange and asked, "What?" Don't adults pay attention to meritorious deeds? ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "I'm not afraid that Mr. Lin will say that I am hypocritical and noble, and I look at fame and fortune very lightly." The method that Mr. Fang Cailin taught me will be done after we discuss it...... But it's not for any reason to increase the official and enter the knighthood, but just to hate the king of Lingnan for having no wind and waves and poisoning the people. He wants to be the emperor, and I can't let him get his wish! ”

Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan discussed carefully all night, and they didn't go to bed at dawn the next day. However, they were not completely out of danger now, and they did not dare to stay in the same place for longer, so they did not make up for sleep, cheered up, and rushed all the way to Shanyin County.

Because Qiu Yizhi was in Hangzhou, the southernmost part of Jiangnan Province, he took the lead in confronting the king of Lingnan, and after the defeat, he was the only one who retreated with his whole body, and the speed of retreat was extremely fast. Therefore, along the way, it is also very peaceful, not to be unable to touch half of the Lingnan army, and even the defeated armies everywhere are not visible.

However, a person like Qiu Yizhi, who has been in battle for a long time, has a very sensitive sense of smell, and he has already smelled nervousness and uneasiness in the air, so he urges his brothers to hurry to the county seat of Shanyin.

San'in County is located in the hinterland of Jiangnan Province, which is somewhat similar to the topography of Lingnan Province, and is also surrounded by mountains. However, since Qiu Yi took office, he spent money to repair the official road and made it very wide and flat, so Qiu Yi walked happily, but in five or six days, he had arrived at the city of Shanyin County.

The people in the county heard that the county Lingqiu had returned from the expedition, and they went out of the city to greet them, but they saw that although there was not one less soldier, everyone was injured and hung up the lottery, and they were obviously a little depressed compared to the previous triumphant return to their hometowns.

Seeing this, there were a few talkative old squires in the crowd, and they really couldn't restrain their curiosity, so they probed their brains around Qiu Yizhi, grabbed his reins, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" Didn't you say that you would go to Lingnan Road and come back? Why is it so embarrassing now? ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he simply dismounted, and said to everyone: "The prince of Lingnan has rebelled, and we have failed to quell the rebellion, and we have suffered defeat, and we have failed to live up to the love of your fathers and fellow villagers." "After that, it's another one.

Several elders were shocked when they heard this: "Isn't the prince of Lingnan the emperor's own brother?" In Lingnan, you can be the king well, what kind of rebellion is nothing? ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It's just that I want to be the emperor......"

He suddenly raised his voice again, and said loudly: "This time the Lingnan prince rebelled and rebelled, and he was determined to take it, I am afraid that even a small county like Shanyin County will be affected." In the war, only the people suffer the most, so the lower officials also ask all the fathers and elders to prepare as early as possible to avoid accidents. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the crowd around him exchanging their ears and hearing the news, and many people were extremely shocked when they heard such news.

But he heard Qiu Yizhi say again: "However, in the humble opinion of the following officials, instead of joining relatives and friends, I think it is slightly safer in my Shanyin County." If you are trusted by your fathers, I Qiu Yizhi patted my chest and guaranteed the safety of your fathers' lives! ”

There was another murmur in the crowd.

After a long time, the crowd fell silent again, and a gentleman stepped forward and said, "Of course we can be trusted, my lord." It is...... It's just ......," he stammered in the middle of his sentence.

Qiu Yizhi knew that this person must have something unspeakable, so he smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, please tell me, if there is something difficult, the lower officials will definitely make arrangements." ”
