Of course, Empress Jiang has no good strategy, she still wants to ask the ministers for a strategy!

But after playing politics for a few years, she was not so cowardly as Empress Dowager Gu did, she put down the military report, and asked instead of answering: "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law entered the palace at the right time, it seems that Duan Qun is saying that Ruan Qingyan is inappropriate to serve as the governor of Shazhou?" This is a ridiculous joke! ”

"But you don't know how to make a funny method?" Empress Dowager Gu sneered, and her charming phoenix eyes swept across the queen's face with a smile on her face, "Ruan Qingyan is only in his early twenties now, and in terms of qualifications, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for a few months, and he has caught up with Ding Wei, and he has only recently been filial piety - he was released to be a county prefect, and the mourning family thinks that it is still okay, to be a governor of the history, or the long history of Shazhou!" If this is a time when there is nothing to do, can it still be said that the young man has been cultivated, and now there is something going on in Western Xinjiang, is it the time for him to practice? ”

Empress Jiang snorted: "The queen mother only said that Ruan Qingyan was young, why didn't she say that he was the youngest jinshi in this dynasty?" Zhilan Yushu is born extraordinary, how can it be the same as vulgar grass? ! ”

"That only shows his potential – potential takes time to polish!" Empress Dowager Gu said lightly, "He grew up in the south, and he has not been to Beijing for a few years, and he has never been to the west." I haven't done a long history, and I haven't been in contact with military affairs! You must know that even if you are an old eunuch and newly relocate, it will take at least more than a month to become familiar with your position! And that's not even when you're busy with business! The mourning family asked you, the six hundred miles of Xijiang are now sent in an expedited manner, and there is time for him to get familiar with and explore? ! ”

Tang Zimo and others at the bottom echoed: "The matter is big, and now the position of the officials in Shazhou is critical, and it should not be ignored!" Although Ruan Qingyan is talented, he is too young to be appointed before! ”

The queen's party naturally wants to support the queen: "I have my own rules for electing officials, not depending on the age!" Ruan Qingyan took office this time, he was born in Hanlin, and he passed the four examinations in the Ministry of Officials, and he was annotated and sung to the post of Governor of Sha, all of which were in full view of everyone, and there was no favoritism! Now it's going to be canceled because of a military newspaper, just ask me where the system of electing officials in Darui exists?! ”

"Passing the examination for the selection of officials does not mean that you cannot be reappointed." Qiu Dian said slowly, "Could it be that after the assessment of the officials, which official is awarded, he can't move it in this life?" Now it's not that Ruan Qingyan can't be an official, nor does it mean that there is a problem with the assessment of the officials, but I just think that he is not suitable for the position of governor of Shazhou! ”

It's all old rivals, how can the Queen's deliberate misinterpretation not be seen? Qiu Dian immediately refuted it.

Jiang Tianqi sneered: "Qiu Yushi kept saying that he didn't think there was a problem with the assessment of the officials, but didn't Fang Cai hear his brother's words clearly?" Ruan Qingyan was awarded an official after the assessment of the officials! ”

Since the officials appointed Ruan Qingyan to be the governor of Shazhou, they obviously think that he has this talent! You can't do this long history with Ruan Qingyan, and you still don't want to offend the officials?

Jiang Tianqi didn't wait for Qiu Dian to speak, and arched his hand towards Xue Chang again, smiling and smiling, "What does Xue Xiang think?" ”

Xue Changguan worships Shang Shuling, and he is in charge of the six departments. Now Jiang Tianqi asked him what he thought about this matter, and it was obvious that he was forced to make a choice.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Gu's eyes condensed slightly, and the atmosphere in the Taishi Hall was a little more cautious.

Under the watchful eyes, Xue Chang calmly saluted to Danqi: "Two mothers, everyone, today we are gathered in the palace for the six hundred miles of the Zhenxi Army, and now the matter is not ......discussed."

"Xue Xiang's words are wrong!" Tang Zimo and Jiang Tianqiao spoke in unison, and frowned at the same time after speaking.

Xue Chang didn't look back at them when he heard this, and said bluntly: "Do Tang Xiang and Jiang Xiang think that Ruan Qingyan's appointment to the post of Governor of Shazhou will affect the war that may occur in Western Xinjiang next?" Not necessarily! ”

Empress Dowager Gu's pupils shrank slightly, and Tang Zimo said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Xue Xiang for advice!" ”

"The responsibility of Governor Shi of Shazhou is nothing more than to take care of the Shazhou Army, garrison Shazhou City, and take charge of the military warehouse in the west of the town with Assassin Shi." Xue Chang said indifferently, "The war in Western Xinjiang is the responsibility of the Zhenxi Army, and there is no need for the Shazhou Army to charge into battle. In case the western army of Zhenxi is defeated, and the western barbarian soldiers are under the city of Shazhou, it will not help to change the long history. Therefore, whether the Western Xinjiang is a war or a peace will have little impact on his duties, and conversely, the degree of talent after his arrival will not have a great impact on the war situation. ”

Tang Zimo frowned and said, "Xue Xiang said so, if Ruan Qingyan gives up the right to take charge of the warehouse, he can also let him go to any try!" ”

"Since he is the governor of Shazhou, why did Tang Xiang take away his power?" Of course Jiang Tianqiao didn't do it, this was an important handle for Qiu Jinglan to clean up the situation in the future, how could it be taken away?

"How important is the barn of the army? Ruan Qingyan is too young and shallow, in case he delays the grain and grass because of his tempering, isn't it ...... that something goes wrong in this place" Tang Zimo's words were interrupted by Jiang Yashuang, who has been silent so far: "Tang Xiang, Xia Guan's wife and brother are the grandson of General Ruan, and General Ruan has many robes, and he is still in the Zhenxi Army. Let's ask my brother, how can he be unfavorable to the Zhenxi Army? Not to mention that after the elder brother went to work, he was also in Shazhou, once the Western Barbarians invaded the border, the safety depended on the Zhenxi Army, and it was too late to hope that the army would be like a rainbow and go straight to Huanglong, how could he not do his best? ! ”

Tang Zimo felt very unhappy, a group of important ministers were fighting, and the lowest official position was also a middle scholar, you are a junior, and your official position is only being edited by the seventh grade, so what kind of excitement did you suddenly come out of?

It's just that a group of people from the Jiang family are here, and Tang Zimo knows that Queen Jiang's nonsense is pungent and pungent, and it is not good to directly reprimand Jiang Yashuang, so he said coldly: "You must know that knowing is easier said than done, and trying your best does not mean that you can do things well!" ”

"But why does Tang Xiang think that the wife and brother of the lower official are not enough to entrust?" Jiang Yashuang smiled, "Especially now that my brother is not here, if you have any questions, why don't you summon your brother over and personally assess one or two?" ”

When these words came out, the Queen Mother's side frowned: "Personally assess...... It's good if he fails the test, if he can't pass the test, wouldn't it give him more reasons to go to work? ”

In fact, Qiu Jinglan recovered after her filial piety and went to the Ministry of Officials to be assessed - how could this be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother's party?

If this award can pick out problems from the assessment, there is no need for Empress Dowager Gu to take the lead now!

Jiang Yashuang said it easily, the Queen Mother's Party is really going to test Qiu Jinglan, will the Queen Party squeeze in to listen? With Qiu Jinglan's talent, conventional problems can't bother him at all, unconventional problems, and the queen party is not a dead person!

Therefore, the Queen Mother Party naturally refused to take this risk, and was thinking about the wording, Xue Chang actually approved of this idea: "There is a way that real gold is not afraid of fire, there will be a war in Western Xinjiang, and the appointment of magistrates there should indeed be cautious!" He also asked to avoid suspicion during the assessment to show justice.

Empress Dowager Gu thought to herself that it was impossible for Xue Chang not to see his scruples about assessing Qiu Jinglan again, but he still suggested this, it seemed that it was difficult to have an old relationship with this protégé.

"Since Xue Xiang also said so, let's pass on Ruan Qingyan!" Empress Dowager Gu thought for a while and said lightly.

…… Qiu Jinglan was soon summoned, along with the officials of the ministry.

Under the control of the Queen's Party and the Neutral Party, the assessment of difficult questions will naturally be difficult for him.

It took more than an hour before and after, Qiu Jinglan always answered fluently, and Tang Zimo, who was in charge of this reassessment, saw that he couldn't raise any new questions, so he had to cough dryly to indicate the end.

In front of everyone's eyes, Qiu Jinglan's performance made the Queen Mother Party have nothing to say and had to agree to his appointment.

But they didn't lose all, because after Tang Zimo said that she no longer objected to Qiu Jinglan's appointment, Empress Dowager Gu immediately said: "In this case, Ruan Qingyan, you can go to Shazhou as soon as possible, and observe the responsibilities of the long history who has not yet stepped down, so as not to be unfamiliar with everything and miss a major event after Ming Chun takes office!" ”

Hearing this, the queen's face changed slightly!

Originally, Ruan Qingyan's appointment date was in the middle of spring next year, which was based on the expiration of the term of office of the current Shazhou governor, as well as Ruan Qingyan's marrying of his cousin after his filial piety, and arranging all the things in Beijing before leaving...... Both the Queen's support for him, as well as his own plans, came according to this schedule.

I'm on my way now, months ahead of schedule!

This means that a lot of preparation has not been done yet!

It also means that the risk of Qiu Jinglan on the way to the post will be greatly increased!

But what Empress Dowager Gu said was reasonable, and the queen party couldn't refuse, so she had to watch Qiu Jinglan promise to pack up immediately after going home.

This temporary small court meeting will be dispersed here, and when he left the palace, Qin Guogong said: "You are about to travel far away, I will tell you a few words." It was logical to invite Qiu Jinglan to the Guogong Mansion.

The spacious study was once again full of people, discussing the impact of the six-hundred-mile expeditious.

Jiang Tianqiao's face was not very good-looking: "It seems that the original idea of the Queen Mother was to force Chunjun to leave in advance, so as to catch us off guard!" ”

This matter is not difficult for them to see, the problem is that Qiu Jinglan is too young and too shallow, and the hard wound is there, and in the situation where the war is about to burn, it is also the right thing to be questioned about his ability - as his supporter, the queen party can only desperately prove his ability.

At this time, the Queen Mother asked Qiu Jinglan to move quickly, and there was no way not to agree!

"What about starting now?" Because the Marquis of Jibei had already made a name for himself, he only retained the title, and he only listened to a three-word description of what happened, so he asked, "Is it too late?" ”

"No!" Qin Guogong shook his head and said, "It is impossible to bring a large number of people with a pure identity, which is not only easy to cause attacks, but also easy to grasp the itinerary by the cold situation!" "After all, no matter how many people Qiu Jinglan brings, can he still have more than the Zhenxi Army? Before he arrived in Shazhou City, if he was mastered by Shi Han, it was estimated that he would be a little farther away from the capital, and the endless pursuit would follow!

Therefore, the Jiang family originally planned to send someone to meet them on the road they were passing through in advance - now they have set off a few months early, and there are a lot of these people, let alone arriving at the predetermined place, and they have not yet been drawn out of the current errand!

"The Queen Mother said to go quickly, if you don't make the trip within three or two days, I'm afraid you will be questioned!" Jiang Yashuang added for his grandfather.

"Qingwu is still in Beijing!" Jiang Tianqi suddenly said, "Did you try to transfer him out of the country and transfer him to the south?" ”

Qin Guogong still shook his head: "He is now working under Tang Zimo, if we don't come out, it's just a waste of effort!" ”

The study was quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking hard about how to break the situation.

After a while, Jiang Yashuang said: "You can't transfer Guo Qingwu to other places, but you can try to get Guo Shihan to call him back to Shazhou!" ”

"Oh?" Qin Guogong frowned, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Shi Shi Han is interested in Qingwu taking over the western army of the town, so he naturally wants to pave the way for him. Qingwu is young, although he has won the Jinshi in this department, he does not eat this set in the army. Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "If you want Kuang Qingwu to establish prestige in the Zhenxi Army, the next is a good opportunity!" ”

War! There is war to have military merit, there is military merit, in the army. Only soldiers can be convinced!

If you think about it this way, Guo Shihan will indeed make Guo Qingwu return to Shazhou to brush up on his merits - the six hundred miles of expedited delivery have been sent to Beijing, no matter whether there is a real change in Xiban or a fake, anyway, this battle is inevitable, otherwise how can Guo Shihan explain to the imperial court?

And of course, Qingwu will not be much more stable when he goes back than Qiu Jinglan's westward journey, you must know that the frontal fight "Tianya" is scum in front of the Zhenxi army, but when it comes to assassination, "Tianya" is a recognized expert!

If Shi Han wants to protect his son, he will inevitably divide the manpower to hunt down Qiu Jinglan!

This is indeed a weak enemy's plan, but Qin Guogong is not very satisfied: "The method you said must be used if Qingwu and Chunjun set off at the same time. But King Zhou's wedding will not be until next month, and the news of Princess Changping's descent has not come out until now, but Chunjun will set off in a few days! ”

In addition, the purpose of Qingwu's entry into Beijing last year was to participate in the imperial examination and follow the lord, and he would not leave and would not be able to leave until these two things were completed.

Jiang Yashuang smiled: "It's just a departure, the Queen Mother didn't say it, my brother must rush to Shazhou day and night, this is a long way to Shazhou, and it is common sense to go on the road for a few days!" ”

As long as you go out of Beijing, it won't be against the will of the Empress Dowager Gu, and then find a corner cat to get up and wait for Qingwu to be?
