Chapter Eighty-One—Multi-Line See-Saw (Advance)
In the Huicheng County Ya, Sun Hao looked at the handwritten letter from Princess Rongle Bu Lian on the table of the county government in a daze, and the content of this handwritten letter made Sun Hao feel even more strange. In the letter, Princess Rong Le offered to take control of a part of the Feudal War Society's army, and was sure to connect some of the clan courtiers in Zhongcheng to fight against the Dark Legion, and hoped to gain the support of their Qi State, and if their Qi State clearly expressed their support for her, she would also make a corresponding return. Of course, Princess Rong Le did not say what exactly was in return in the letter, but only said ambiguously that she could continue to discuss.
Princess Rong Le's attitude was extremely subtle, and Sun Hao couldn't figure out what Princess Rong Le's intention was to send such a letter, but if this matter was true, maybe they would be able to get another extra boost. Although Sun Hao had never seen Princess Rong Le, he had also heard part of the legendary princess's past after all, and he believed that if Princess Rong Le really had this idea, it would not be difficult to realize it.
Of course, even if he has a plan, Sun Hao will not pin the future of the entire Qi country on outsiders, now they can be said to have reached a desperate situation, just with this city, although they can barely hold on, but in fact, it is not easy to have greater development, and now Princess Rong Le has offered to help them seriously so that they can gain the ability to deal with the dark army. This seems to be a send-off, but it still needs to be considered before we can finally know whether Princess Rong Le has good intentions or bad intentions towards the Qi Kingdom, which is now in full devastation, and it will indeed take time to know.
Thinking of this, Sun Hao whispered to Shu Zuo, who was waiting on the side: "In this way, you quickly go to the back hall of the county government, invite Lord Qi and Lord Jin to come to the main hall, and say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”
Shuzuo nodded and got up quickly, leaving the county office, and went to invite Lord Qi and Lord Jin. These two adults, at the beginning, were more prestigious and status officials in the Xuancheng court, one of the two adults served as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the other was Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Works, in the current Qi State Court in the city, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao The six young people set up a council by themselves, and their main task is the prime minister's current military and political power of the Qi State. Among them, Sun Hao is the governor of Huicheng, which is actually similar to the position of the prime minister at the beginning. And these two Lord Qi and Lord Jin have now been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and they can be said to be the six famous officials in the court.
In fact, this is also a helpless move, the Qi State is on the verge of extinction, many of the previous courtiers, including the doctor and the prime minister, as well as military officials from all walks of life have fallen into various places, some died in the hands of the dark army, and some defected to the country and are now under the command of Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde, who left the country. All in all, the original court of the Qi State was in turmoil, and now it is almost impossible to rebuild this court, and in desperation, the six young people can only temporarily follow Luo Yinying's suggestion and temporarily promote the officials of the six ministries and military affairs who have been relocated to the city, so that they can restore and maintain the overall order of the court in the city as soon as possible. Under such a premise, these two officials, who were still young and did not have much practical experience to support them, took up their responsibilities immediately.
Due to the remoteness of the city itself, there are no other generals stationed here except for the governor and the county prince, so there are no official residences in the city in general, unlike Xuancheng, which has many mansions of officials at all levels in various places. But fortunately, the number of officials in the city is not very large at present, and Sun Hao couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he simply let these officials live in the county office, and there are enough rooms and courtyards in the county government for these officials to live in temporarily, so it is quite convenient to come and go.
Not long after, Qi Min, the secretary of the ministry, and Jin Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, got the news and rushed to the main hall of the county where Sun Hao was located as soon as possible, and they also heard from Shuzuo about some important issues that Sun Hao needed to discuss when he convened them now, and they probably finished the draft along the way, although they were young, they all had their own due judgment ability for things. Moreover, they worked with Sun Hao and knew Sun Hao's character better.
"I've seen the Governor. Qi Min and Jin Hui were guided by Shuzuo to enter the main hall of the county government where Sun Hao was currently located, and the first time they entered them, they saw Sun Hao here immersed in reviewing the scrolls from all over the place, these books and resources made Sun Hao temporarily forget the handwritten letters from the eldest princess Rongle. And after Qi Min and Jin entered the central government of the county, Sun Hao temporarily broke away from his concentration on reviewing the books, "The two adults are here, please sit here." ”
Sun Hao raised his hand and motioned for Shu Zuo to hurry up to sencha to entertain the two generals, and personally stood up to greet Qi Min and Jin Hui sitting on the soft chair beside him, "Thank you, Lord Governor, I don't know if Lord Governor invited me to come, is there anything important to discuss with us?"
This is the art of officialdom, although Shu Zuo has already revealed some questions to Qi Min and Jin Hui, but they pretended not to know the situation and asked, it is obviously the most direct and clear officialdom art, let the leaders and superiors take the initiative to tell themselves, and then put forward their own views and plans. You can't take the initiative to express what you want to know in front of your leader. Although Qi Min and Jin Hui are young, they have been in the officialdom for many years after all, and their ability to judge the situation is quite correct.
Sun Hao sighed slightly, he took the handwritten letter from the eldest princess of Rongle Bu Lian from his desk, and handed it to Qi Min and Jin Hui in front of him, "This is the letter that was just delivered today, and it is quite strange that it is still from Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country, the current queen of the feudal country, the former princess of Rong Le Bu Lian actually wrote a handwritten letter to us Qi Guo, and offered to exchange it with us and provide us with help." To be honest, although I feel that it is not unacceptable to the proposal made by this eldest princess Rongle, in fact, the crisis we are facing in our own country is also quite complex and difficult to discern, at least I think it is quite risky to rashly take the initiative to contact some of the forces in the Sealing War Society under such circumstances. I don't know what you think?"
Qi Min and Jin Hui took advantage of Sun Hao's inner thoughts to read most of the contents of this letter, and they also came to a similar conclusion, although this eldest princess Rongle released kindness to them, it did not mean that they had to accept the kindness of this eldest princess Rongle. Thinking of this, Qi Min thought about it, and still took the lead in speaking: "Your Excellency Governor, I think that this plan can continue to be discussed and wait for the opportunity to continue, the most important thing for us now is to restore the national strength as much as possible, and only when the national strength is strong can we have the opportunity to talk about other things." He thinks that it is better to wait for the news from the north first, if he can grab the reserve grain and grass of the Dark Legion, he can directly enrich the strength of our Qi country, and as for other things, it is better to talk about it slowly. What do you think?"
Sun Hao looked sideways at Jin Hui on the other side and motioned for him to express his opinion. Jin Hui nodded, and said in agreement: "Lord Governor, I basically agree with Lord Qi's opinion, it is not wise to rush to express my position now, the opportunity to rob the grain and grass in the north still needs to wait for an echo, although we believe that Lord Feng and they will definitely be able to complete this most critical task, but I can't pin all the future on them." Now, we must wait for the right moment, mainly to support the lives of the people in the city, as well as the soldiers and civilians. And in this case, we must not continue to participate in this entanglement, or be wise and self-preservation. ”
Sun Hao nodded lightly, "What the two of you said is reasonable, I don't know how the two of you continue to support the soldiers and civilians in the city at present, the food, grass and money are now directly involved in our vital interests in the city, maybe you can't even survive this winter." I wonder if you two have any good way to deal with this situation?"
"Lord Governor, I have an idea, maybe I can reverse this unfavorable situation......" Qi Min vigilantly looked out of the window and gate of the county mansion, and after confirming that there were no other people in this county mansion for the time being, Qi Min took two steps closer and whispered something.
In the north, at present, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun and Luo Yinying, the five young people have already met Bu Yuehan, who rushed here from the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, and the companions who have been reunited for a long time have nothing to say about it. However, the current problem of reminiscing is not enough to change the most acute problem, which includes how to seize the grain and grass Hull from being discovered by the Dark Legion, after exploring and searching, Nangong Yun passed back a message. "According to the news and situation I have learned, the main army of the Dark Legion is currently attacking Xuancheng, which is not far from here, and the main force of the Dark Legion in Xuancheng has begun to withdraw, leaving less than a thousand people to stay here. Now the main army of the Dark Legion is already chasing north, and together they are going to pursue the main army of the country. At present, the logistics of the Dark Legion should be carried with the army, perhaps, they have a special demon seed that can carry grain and grass with the army. ”
The other companions all agreed with Nangong Yun's speculation and thoughts, but after all, they didn't know where the main force of the Dark Legion was, and until they couldn't find any other better way to pursue the Dark Legion and find a way to find the food that their entourage carried, they could only continue to hide in the hidden place outside Xuancheng City and wait for the opportunity. However, the five young people found some clues in the old memories with Bu Yuehan, which were things they wanted to know more now.
