Back in the Privy Council, Wang Jing said to Geng Equity in a somewhat complaining tone: "Brother Geng, when you received the news, why didn't you tell me in advance, it almost made me lose my honor in front of Your Majesty." ”

When Li Kun asked a question just now, Wang Jing failed to answer in time, which inevitably left a bad impression, and it was impossible that it would not have any impact at all.

It stands to reason that Qiu Yan's news is not his responsibility, but if there is a trace, he should always have a conversation with him.

Geng Chi listened and replied a little apologetically: "Brother Wang's anger is not intentionally concealed, there is actually an inside story in this. "When Geng Chi led the troops in the north and south, he really won a few battles, and he was like a rainbow, but he became a privy councillor, but he gradually lowered his profile, and he easily did not quarrel with others, even those with lower official positions than him were all smiling.

After all, he was born as a military attaché, although he has a style of dominating the military, it still makes many literati look unpleasant, and they will easily find fault, of course, they must be more careful. Now that he heard Wang Jing's complaints, he naturally wanted to explain things clearly.

"Oh, and the inside story?" Wang Jing also felt strange when he heard this, thinking that it was a prevarication, but he followed Geng Chi to his office and watched him pull out a drawer from a cabinet.

This room is very large, occupied by rows of cabinets, the cabinets are somewhat similar to medicine cabinets, divided into small drawers of one grid after another, and there are labels on the drawer doors, written with words, mostly place names, regions.

The drawer that Geng Chi opened was written with the words "Guanwai Dao, Dajie Mountain", and he took out a note from it and handed it over.

"Is it just news? If you find Qiu Yan, you will definitely arrange for someone to pick it up, right?" Wang Jing looked puzzled, took the note and unfolded it, his eyelids jumped again, "What's going on?"

Geng Chi smiled bitterly: "This is exactly the reason why I didn't tell Brother Wang, Qiu Yan's movements are too bizarre." The news was also very vague, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, so I asked the spies to investigate again, ready to find out the truth before talking. ”

"I see," Wang Jing experienced the initial surprise, and calmed down at this time, "This kind of news can only be reported after verification, and you are also a safe move, I am wrong to blame you." ”

Geng Chi sighed: "I didn't expect it either. His Majesty will suddenly be sick, and this matter is too sudden, so it is not handled properly. ”

"Actually, it's not sudden. After Wang Jing said this, he shut up and stopped talking about it, but Geng Chi already understood the meaning in his heart.

Li Kun must be personally and diligent, this kind of behavior is described in the history books, and later generations praise it, but in the case of contemporary courtiers. It's not a good thing, no one wants their boss to be such a workaholic, not only to themselves, but also to meddle everywhere. In this way, it is difficult not to get tired.

What's more, many ministers have already noticed Li Kun's forgetfulness. After all, it is good to play from time to time, and it is okay to be asked repeatedly on a certain issue, once or twice. The number of times is too much, and it is inevitable that suspicion will arise, and then there will be speculation.

However, judging the monarch by ministers is inappropriate in terms of etiquette, Wang Jing can only stop at the point, and the intention is not spoken.

After exchanging a few words, the two privy envoys decided not to report the matter first, and to find out Qiu Yan's purpose, of course, for Li Kun's orders, it should also be carried out at the same time, and it is best to invite the original of the military classics to the capital first.

After the discussion is completed, Wang Jing leaves, he still has a lot of things to do, now Rouluo is in chaos, Zuo Xian is the head, and the heads are on the way to the capital, this move will definitely anger the Rouluo people, even if there is still an officialdom in the court that opposes the war, but they are in charge of military and political affairs, they can't pin their hopes on peace, they need to prepare for war in advance, plus the emperor has the intention to fight, everything is complicated.

If there is a war, it is definitely not like Xiao Lan, who brings enough dry food for a few days, and uses cavalry to assault, coming and going like the wind, but must be prepared for a tug-of-war and fierce battle.

The military department is worried about the deployment of equipment and logistical supplies, but the Privy Council, as the top level of the military and government, cannot ignore it, not to mention that the formulation of plans in the general direction such as the determination of the overall strategy and the mobilization of troops and horses in military towns cannot bypass the Privy Council.

However, there was still a little spare time for him at the moment, so after sending Wang Jing away, Geng Chi groaned for a while, came to the corner of the room, knocked three times on a copper pipe, took out a note, crumpled it into a ball, lifted the lid on the tube, and threw it down.

When!when!

A crisp sound came out, and there was a complex system under the ground that was busy, and someone took out the paper balls, marked them as urgent, passed them layer by layer, and finally sent them to the camp outside the city.

The privy envoy is in charge of the military and politics, so direct contact with the military is actually taboo, but it is not a big matter of favor, not a special promotion, and Geng Chi will not act rashly.

In the big tent of the Beijing camp, a heroic man sat in the first seat, and was talking with the generals, when a messenger brought the news from the Privy Council and brought it to his hand, and when he read it, he tore up the note.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the heroic man cleared his throat and spoke, "just now, the generalissimo has received news. ”

The others immediately chimed in.

"The news is about Qiu Xiu. ”

As the heroic man finished speaking, the camp became lively again.

"Qiu Xiu?"

"But I'm going to go back to Beijing with the classics, I've long wanted to see the classics of the soldiers!"

"Lao Li, what are you making a fuss about, you old boy can't read and write!"

"What are you anxious about? Don't look at the fact that you have been reading for a few days, but you are not a showman, you know the limited knowledge of the Dao, you know the Dao, the classics originally had the blessing of supernatural powers, and when you look at it, even if you don't know how to read, you can understand the truth!"

"And that kind of thing?"

"Listen to his nonsense, the classics of our military family are also humane classics, how can we have the blessing of supernatural powers? What kind of supernatural powers are were? As soon as our military strength arrives, the supernatural powers will collapse, how can they be compared with the original classics of the military family?"

......

The heroic man looked at the reaction of everyone in the tent, and nodded secretly, he already knew Qiu Yan's life, and he knew that he was more inclined to Confucian literature, but a while ago, the civil officials rejected him slightly, and they had a dislike for each other. He let the generals' kindness towards Qiu Yan spread.

After the discussion calmed down slightly, the man said again: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint you, Qiu Xiushu did not return to Beijing, arrived in Dingchang first, and went to the northern Xinjiang line halfway, saying that he wanted to strive for perfection and improve the classics. ”

Immediately, someone praised: "In the end, it is a learned person who can read the classics of the soldiers, and this ambition is lofty, but he is not complacent! It's just different!"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," the heroic man continued, "and some of you have some connections in the North, so you have to activate those connections and pass on a piece of news to get them to pay attention. ”

This is to use the network resources, and when the generals heard it, they all paid attention and were curious.

This is not uncommon. The treatment of this Beijing camp is higher than that of the border army, and they can not be subordinate to each other, but those who can come to Beijing to be the commander are except for the sons and daughters of the nobles. Most of them are still generals with military achievements in the frontier, and when these people come to the capital, they will have closer ties with their comrades-in-arms in the frontier, and their personal friendship will become more and more close. It is an open secret to support each other.

However, in most cases where such connections are required, it is inconvenient for them to be issued publicly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be safer to go through official channels?

The heroic man said: "I received news that after leaving Dingchang, Qiu Xiushu went all the way to the east and along the border of northern Xinjiang, and in the past two days, he has clashed with the three Hu tribes, and released the captured people of the Central Plains, and some of them fled to Darui. ”

"Walking along the margins? Clashing with the three tribes? Could it be that the champion is fighting with the tribe with the strength of one person? Even if he is a master of life cultivation, I am afraid that he will be controlled by the qi and blood pressure of that tribe. ”

Many of you here have rich experience in the battlefield, and some of them have been in northern Xinjiang for many years, and they have grasped the key at once.

The heroic man said in a timely manner: "It is precisely necessary for you to activate the relationship to confirm the authenticity of this matter, the stakes are very high, if you do not understand the purpose of Qiu Xiu's writing, rashly announcing in the name of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, it is likely to be self-defeating and bring him unnecessary trouble, do you know this?"

The generals looked at each other, and the last one nodded to accept the order, but they also muttered in their hearts.

"It seems that this champion duke, although he is a great figure, is not a peaceful person, the death of King Zuoxian, Rouluo has been difficult to step down, if the grassland makes waves again, even if it is just a small wave, but there are too many of them, a storm will brew!

..................

Qiu Yan, who was brewing a storm in everyone's mouth, was now standing on the top of a hill, staring intently, and at the end of his sight, a cloud of popularity was gathered.

This cloud, which is not visible to those who have not cultivated, represents the place where the crowd gathers, and in the grassland, such a scene indicates that there is a tribal settlement.

At the foot of the hill, there is a group of ragged people, the number of people is really quite a lot, roughly calculated, there must be hundreds of people, among them there are old and young, men and women, are sitting in a circle, sharing cooked food, many people gobble, eating indecently, as if they have not eaten for a few days.

Between swallowing, from time to time, someone looked up at the hill and carefully observed Qiu Yan.

"Ran Lian, what do you mean when you say that this person rescued us and said those words? With people like us, can we fight against the Hu people? Isn't that sending us to death?"

Soon, someone muttered quietly.

As soon as the voice fell, a man who looked to be about thirty years old narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

"It's hard to say now, but if he hadn't saved us, the rest of our lives would have been miserable. (To be continued......)
