Chapter 169: Advance and Retreat Together

Song Biqing: What am I looking for, and what have you found? How do I answer this?

Fortunately, what Lin Yanxian said was not a question, but an affirmation.

Lin Yanxian continued: "The witnesses of the Yuzhang County officials' private mining have been found, and the team is going to take people into Beijing as soon as possible?" ”

Song Biqing felt smoke on her head, what did she hear? What did she hear? Local officials in Yuzhang County privately open mines?

She had thought that she might get involved in the turmoil, but she didn't do the opposite, she would be involved in such a big case!

Is this something she can participate in with her small team?

Song Biqing's cold sweat broke out on the back of her neck, which was a sign when she was extremely nervous.

Song Biqing didn't speak, in Lin Yanxian's opinion, it was prudent.

In fact, Song Biqing was about to be scared silly. She really didn't know what to say.

Song Biqing didn't know how to talk to Lin Yanxian, saying that she wasn't actually sent by the saint? Confession and leniency?

An unrelated person who knows such a big secret will definitely be silenced, but he didn't say it.

What to do?

Song Biqing's feeling now is that she regrets it very much, and she regrets it very much. What did she do at the beginning, she directly said that she didn't know anything, and she wasn't sent by the saint at all, so there would be no embarrassing moment like now.

What should she do, or what could she do?

Delay it for a while, according to the rules, the private opening of the mine, the responsibility is heavy, the family is implicated, and the three ethnic groups are involved, so the person who reports must be cautious and cautious. This is also to prevent some people from using it as a tool to exclude dissent.

"Lin Yuanjun, the stakes are very high, and privately opening a mine is not something that can be used for jokes. If you just rely on a 'miner' dressed up like a grizzled face, I am afraid it will not be enough. Where is the mine, what is it, and how much has it been mined? ”

Song Biqing's successive questions not only did not annoy Lin Yanxian, but also aroused Lin Yanxian's appreciation. It is worthy of being a person sent by the Holy Lord, that is, he dares to say hello, acts cautiously, and thinks clearly.

"Rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. If you want to talk about the person who testifies, I have another one here. Lin Yanxian said with a smile.

The other person who testified was Cui Ji.

After careful consideration, Cui Ji decided to give everything and everything.

He couldn't eat the mine, his stomach was too small, and the mine was too big. Since you can't eat the mine, of course, you have to sell the mine and sell it at a good price as your own advancement.

Lin Yanxian mentioned him, and he naturally needed to come out to fulfill his obligations as a witness: "Cui Ji dared to vouch for the glory of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and the officials of Yuzhang County hid the news of the mine and mined the mine privately. ”

"The mine is in Cen Tai Mountain, not far from Yuzhang. This mine is iron ore! Cui Ji nodded heavily on the word iron ore.

Song Biqing: Oh, iron ore. Iron ore? Iron ore!

The word iron ore kept repeating in Song Biqing's mind.

And this Cui Shangguan swore by the glory of the Cui clan in Qinghe, according to the temperament of the family, the matter of Yuzhang County officials privately opening mines may not be more true, and it cannot be faked.

What do the local officials in Yuzhang County want to do? Want to rebel? Want to go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

Privately opened a mine, and it is also an iron mine, and the local officials in Yuzhang County are still really bold. Don't you really take "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" seriously.

The so-called "Tiangao Emperor is far away" is just because some "Earth Emperors" don't do too much and can't get in the way of the eyes above. This private mine is to give the court eye medicine again, and the court is not taken seriously.

How could the imperial court turn a blind eye.

If you can even pick up the iron mine privately and put it down gently, then the order of the Great Zhou will be chaotic and will be over sooner or later.

And now, the authority of the central government is still there, and the invasion of foreign enemies has been repulsed. The saint is still thinking about Zhongxing Da Zhou, and I am afraid that the private opening of this iron mine will be set up as a model.

Officials from Yuzhang County: Actually, at the beginning, we just wanted to make a little money, but the mine we discovered happened to be an iron mine. As for now......

……

Yuzhang Mansion.

Tan Jin, the commander of Yuzhang County, summoned several people who were more prominent and influential among the officials of Yuzhang County.

Among them, the county lieutenant who took the lead in setting up the line Yan Xie (the word will mean). Snakes and rats at both ends, swaying from side to side of the county Cheng Cui Quan. The county commander Tan Jin's clan brother is the master of Tan Xuan (the word Zhonghui). and Li Shoutian, the director of Yuzhang Station......

"I have gathered you today to find a way out for you. The miners on the mine escaped, presumably everyone already knew the news. "The county order Tan Jin is not hidden, all of you here are people who have their own channels, and they can't hide it, not to mention that the effect is not good, it will aggravate the sense of distrust.

The people present nodded, this was not much different from the news they knew, it seemed that the Ming Mansion did not deceive them. Mingfu's next words are still worth listening to.

"As soon as the miner Zhang Jiahe escaped, Cen Taishan reported the news in a timely manner, and we also took corresponding measures in time. Whether it was following the escape route of Zhang Jiahe, or waiting for rabbits in the village where Zhang Jiahe lived, or posting Zhang Jiahe's portrait at the city gate, we did what we had to do. ”

said so many county orders Tan Jin really told everyone that it was not that he was inactive, but that the other party was too cunning. He can't let everyone think that he is an incompetent person, otherwise it will be detrimental to what follows.

The county lieutenant Yan Xie stood up at this time, he first bowed his hand to the county commander Tan Jin, and then rotated half a circle to give his hand to everyone present.

Those with higher positions than the county lieutenant naturally accepted the county lieutenant's strict understanding with a frank attitude, while those with a position lower than the school lieutenant's strict understanding leaned slightly sideways to indicate that they could not afford it.

"Ming Mansion, colleagues, at this time, it is a lack of work, which affects the Ming Mansion and your colleagues." Yan Xie helped Tan Jin, because the next thing needs someone who has authority and has won the trust of most people to sit. He can't do this person, Tan Jin is the best solution at present.

"It's serious, it's the miner named Zhang Jiahe who is really cunning. And once he escaped, he was nowhere to be found, and it was very likely that he had colluded with outsiders. "Yan Xie gave Tan Jin a ladder, and of course Tan Jin had to give Yan Xie a ladder.

"What the Ming Mansion said is that the kid escaped so smoothly, it is very likely that he has colluded with outsiders. If you have a heart or not, where can you blame County Lieutenant Yan! ”

"That's it, that's it."

"This mine is also a little wet, and there has been no accident, why did some miners run away at this time? So it must be that miner named Zhang Jiahe who is in league with outsiders and wants to mess with us. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable!"

“……”

No matter what the officials thought in their hearts, they were extremely considerate in their words. Everyone can understand Yan Jie's suffering, as if they are in that position and can experience Yan Jie's feelings.

"Thank you Mingfu, thank you for your understanding." Ben is just going through the motions. After thanking him, Yan Xie sat down.

The deliberations will continue.

"Now there are two groups of people from Kyoto in the prefecture."

"A group of people is Lin Yanxian, the people brought by Lin Yuanjun, this group of people, there are a large number of people, most of them are behind the background, such as Li Xi, the grandson of Li Xiang. And this group of people with elite soldiers, guarded by a feather forest from Kyoto. I don't know how much you know about this Lin Wei? County Commander Tan Jin asked.

He has to establish that their opponents are strong and a great threat to them, so that more people will accept his solution when he comes up with it. Although it is true that Lin Yanxian and they are a difficult trouble, they still have to say it, if they don't say it, there will always be some big guys who don't know how to do it at a critical moment.

Contradicting at a critical moment is unacceptable to Tan Jin. It took tremendous courage to accept his solution. And sometimes that great courage can only be maintained for a moment under the influence of impulse.

If there are people who are not clear-headed, and they contradict at a critical time, then some people will begin to hesitate, and the blood in their heads will begin to flow back, until they are shocked into a cold sweat after calming down, and they will no longer have the courage to take that step, and sometimes it is particularly important to take the first step.

As long as the first step is taken, the next second step, the third step, it will not be so difficult.

There is no regret about this matter, and it will be difficult to get ashore when you get on the boat. If there is no way back, then you can only row forward.

The county lieutenant Yan Xie was like an eye-catcher at this time, and took the county order Tan Jin's question: "Regarding Yu Linwei, although Xie doesn't know much, he still has a little bit of understanding. ”

None of the people present interjected, and they all sat there obediently waiting for the county lieutenant's stern answer. The county lieutenant Yan Xie is a military position, and he may know more about Yulin Wei than them.

"Yu Linwei, founded in Taizu."

The officials in the room all nodded, they knew this.

"However, Taizu's martial arts are world-famous, and his prestige in the army is quite deep, and a number of troops are forbidden under Taizu. Therefore, Yu Linwei was actually not very famous during the Taizu period. ”

"Yu Linwei's real fame was actually when Taizong was there."

The officials nodded again, and they knew this.

These two articles must be familiar to everyone. So do you know why Yu Linwei became famous? ”

The officials shook their heads, they knew a little bit enough, they knew more and more details, and they didn't take the imperial examination. They read books every day, and they don't have enough time. Where do they have time to learn about some miscellaneous things outside the imperial examination?

"Yulinwei's fame began with a foreign war. And the opponents of this war are our old adversaries. ”

"Beidi?" Someone speculated. has been entangled with Da Zhou for a long time, you are strong and I am respectful, you are weak and I rob, and the first thing he thinks of in his mind is only Beidi.

"Yes, yes. None other than Beidi. Soon after the collapse of Taizu, Taizong ascended the throne. Taizong was the prince taught by Taizu, and Taizu also left a lot of followers for Taizong. But in fact, many old ministers and veterans respect Taizong, and maintenance is also maintenance, but they will strongly oppose Taizong's desire to change some of the rules originally established during the Taizu period. ”

In fact, some of the rules set by Taizu Lu Yu are just temporary, and the world has just been set for a short time, so he needs such a temporary rule. When it is no longer applicable in the future, then it will be withdrawn, and a new one will be re-established, which is more in line with the actual rules. Lu Yu himself also explained to his daughter Lu Lang in this way.

However, Taizong's behavior was strongly opposed by a group of old ministers and veterans. They believed that what Taizu left behind was the golden rule that could not be changed.

Every now and then, Taizong will be extremely helpless. Those old ministers and veterans, in the final analysis, are just to maintain their Lu clan's rule, but they are more rigid, but Taizu is more obedient.

At this time, Taizong realized what "a son of heaven and a courtier" was. She also wants to treat the veterans well, after all, they have merit and hard work.

But this group of veterans and veterans, she is really not easy to use. Various policies, whenever she disagrees with the old ministers and veterans, she always has to make some concessions. Who made them highly qualified, and she was the new emperor who had just ascended the throne.

At this time, Taizong's desire to cultivate his own people will come up repeatedly. The people she promoted should always listen to her, and they should be forbidden.

"The reason why Yu Linwei became famous was because Taizong wanted to crusade against Beidi, but the veteran thought that Da Zhou needed a stable environment to recuperate. There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the young and vigorous Taizong and the veteran. Taizong believes that if you want to recuperate, you have to completely beat Beidi down. ”

Taizu Lu Yu: Deeply hidden merit and fame, yes, I taught it, it was I who taught.

Taizong Lu Lang: A-Niang is right, Beidi is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. If you don't accept it, you will be convinced. Although he didn't understand what this sentence meant, A-Niang said that it was called physical persuasion. This thing, called physical persuasion, played an extremely important role in her reign.

And history has actually proved that Taizong's decision was correct. Beidi was completely subdued by Taizong, and only then did he have the stability of the next few decades of the Great Zhou. Otherwise, Beidi would have to stare at the south from time to time and drool.

"The veteran generals did not obey Taizong's dispatch, and the old ministers did not want to fight. Then Taizong had to think of another way. At this time, Yu Linwei, who was left by Taizu, finally played its role. Taizu took 3,000 Lin Wei and defeated 5,000 Beidi people. ”

Listening to the county lieutenant's stern explanation, the original impression of Yu Linwei was vague, and the person who felt like he was similar to the county soldier suddenly sobered up a lot.

What is the strength of Yulin, who fought with the barbarians of Beidi and won a big victory, they also have a comparison object.

The officials of Yuzhang were suddenly deeply worried about their situation. They originally thought in their hearts that in the end, they would die in the net. Now it seems that they are not even qualified to break the net.

"Ming Mansion, I don't know what tricks you have, I am willing to listen to Ming Mansion's dispatch." Tan Xuan, the main bookkeeper, was the first to express his support for his brother.

Next, many officials began to show their loyalty, saying that they would advance and retreat with Tan Jin.

Tan Jin gave Tan Xuan an appreciative look, and then asked tentatively, "Do you know King Wei?" ”
