Xie Zhan came out of the inner study and said to Jiang Boya, who was sitting in the outer study sipping tea, "Let Mr. Jiang smile." ”

Jiang Boya waved his hand, "It's okay, it's good that the matter is settled." ”

Then, he solemnly admonished, "At the moment of the great enemy, such a disobedience to the command must not happen again." ”

"Hmm."

"My lord, there is news from Pingzhou again." Jiang Boya handed over a thin wad of paper.

"I'll see."

Xie Zhan looked at the latest news from Pingzhou seriously, and after reading it, he only had doubts, "What is Pingzhou doing?" ”

Lu Songli arranged for the daughters of the Qin and Lu families to take high positions in the power department, which is understandable, and the power will shadow the family after holding it.

Liaodong Academy has added an agricultural college, an engineering college, a medical school and a military college, which is understandable and cultivates talents.

But how many less important departments have been added?

Women's Federation, neighborhood management offices and township yamen, one is to manage women? The other two are to manage the urban people and the rural people? I don't feel like I'm appointed.

Health centers, schools, and the Salesian Bureau cost money. Pingzhou has too much money to spend?

These departments are more like they are set up to appease the heroes and share the credit.

I wonder what she's tossing all this for? Buying people's hearts? Will it cost money?

Jiang Boya also felt a bit bells and whistles.

Xie Zhan and Jiang Boya are in the aristocratic class, and it is difficult to understand that at the beginning of the struggle for hegemony, Pingzhou wasted energy and money in these inconsequential places.

At this time, there is no sentence 'water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat', otherwise with the wisdom of the two of them, they will definitely be able to understand the deep meaning of Lu Songli's move.

If you don't understand, put it aside. They have a more pressing crisis in front of them in the south.

The two also summoned important personnel under their command to discuss the military situation.

It took about two hours for them to reformulate their preliminary battle plan.

After the important matters were discussed, Xie Zhan saw that it was not early, so he let the big guy disperse.

Jiang Boya was left for last.

When Xie Zhan saw this, he knew that he still had something to say.

"Mr. Jiang has something to say, you might as well speak up."

Jiang Boya sighed and said, "Master Xie, do you remember the two of Fan Yang and Guo Chong that I mentioned to you before?" ”

Xie Zhan nodded, these two people were also mentioned in the classics of their Xie family's talents, but he was born late, and the two gradually fell silent after the memory.

Xie Zhan always knew that Jiang Boya was fighting for them for himself, did he have eyebrows? But he didn't look like that.

"As far as I know, the two of them should have moved."

"Oh, they're coming?"

"I think so, but that's just my speculation."

"Mr. Jiang's speculation must be infinitely close to the truth."

Jiang Boya smiled.

Xie Zhan sincerely asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you think we can win these two people in the south?" No matter how bad it is, it's good to have one. ”

Xie Zhan really felt that compared to Pingzhou, his help was too little.

Jiang Boya pondered for a moment and said, "Both of them are extremely wise. It's just that Guo Chong has a weird temperament, Fan Yang cherishes his reputation, I think adults can try to win Fan Yang. ”

Changan

Kurabe Cao Peng Xu Junfan is back, and the first time he comes back is to go to the palace to face the saint and ask for sin.

He knelt there, and the whole person looked very bad, and it was obvious that he was emaciated.

He and Zuo Yi took people to Pingzhou to supervise the payment of taxes and grain.

Everything went smoothly in the front, but I didn't expect that the tax grain in the back was robbed by the Xianbei army.

Zuo Yi died, died in Wencheng County, Liaoxi County, and was killed by the rioting rangers.

He was the only one who came back alive.

Song Mo summoned him in the imperial study.

Xu Junfan confessed to him and Zuo Yi after they arrived in Pingzhou.

After listening to this, Song Mo stared into his eyes, examined and asked, "As far as I know, the robbery of 1.2 million stone tax grain is actually a play directed and acted by Pingzhou Lu Desheng and others. Xu Junfan, what do you think? ”

"Is that so?" Xu Junfan was surprised at first, and then showed a look of sudden realization, "Sure enough, Weichen also felt strange." ”

"At that time, Weichen also had doubts in his heart, and Weichen thought at the time, regardless of whether the robbery of the tax grain was true or false, we asked Pingzhou to pay it again, wouldn't the problem be solved?"

Song Mo and the two ministers present thought to themselves that this idea could not be said to be wrong.

One force dropped by ten points, and in the face of the requirements of the imperial court, Pingzhou did not dare to disobey.

They don't have to care about what's true or not.

It's just that I didn't expect that so many things happened later, Pingzhou was reversed, and the imperial army couldn't help the Pingzhou army.

Xu Junfan then continued, "Weichen is useless, Lord Zuo was killed on the street, and his head was ......."

"Weichen was scared, coupled with the severe cold in Pingzhou, he was sick."

"Pingzhou didn't care about treating Weichen, his condition was good and bad, and he was bedridden to recuperate. Fortunately, Weichen is still young, and he gradually got better after lying down for half a month. ”

"Your ability is not bad, Pingzhou didn't recruit you?" Song Mo's eyes were sharp.

"Pingzhou wants Weichen to stay and serve them, but Weichen cares about the imperial court. Weichen was cultivated by Da Li, so naturally he wants to be loyal to Da Li, how can he give in to the rebellious ministers and thieves? Moreover, Weichen's family is still in Chang'an. If I stay in Pingzhou, how will my family behave? Xu Junfan said righteously.

"You left like this, Pingzhou didn't stop you?"

Xu Junfan shook his head, "Pingzhou has always claimed that Pingzhou comes and goes freely, and Weichen is holding on to them. So how could they ruin their reputation because of such an insignificant person as Weichen? ”

Song Mo nodded, "Okay, you go down!" ”

Xu Junfeng respectfully retreated.

Song Mo glanced at Liang An, and Liang An bowed down and quietly left the imperial study.

"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think of Xu Junfan?"

Xiao Qun said, "It can be seen that he said that he was sick in Pingzhou earlier, and this should be true." ”

"Sang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Sang Baiqing replied, "There are no flaws in his words from beginning to end. Logically, it is not tight, it is relaxed, and when you think deeply, the subtleties can be matched. ”

Song Mo nodded, his words sounded the same as the real thing.

At this time, Zuo Anmin and Zhang Xian seemed to have fallen out of favor, and now the most faceless in front of Song Mo are Xiao Qun, Shen Wan, Sang Baiqing and other important ministers.

Song Mo now found that the four ministers left by his father, the emperor, were indeed very capable. It's a pity that for the past two years, he has been fighting with them and wrestling power from them.

Now he relied heavily on them in state affairs.
