Xu Guanfeng was severely treated by Qi Ning in the wine shop that night. After fleeing in a hurry, he even had a minor illness because of cold wine pouring on his head. Fortunately, he was born in the army and had a strong body, so he quickly recovered.
However, he remembered Qi Ning's appearance in his heart. When he saw Qi Ning, he was really distracted from his heart.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the officials who could appear in the imperial study were all important officials of Nanchu today, and the position of Qining was close to the imperial desk, which was even more extraordinary.
Qi Ning sneered in her heart, but her tone was calm: "You didn't hear what you asked?"
Xu Guanfeng came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Little Man...Little Man came to the capital and reported to the court...!"
"In this way, is it the King of Shu that let you keep the three words from the Marquis of Jinyi?" Qi Ning said lightly: "Is it because the Marquis of Jinyi sent you a letter or message, asking you not to make things difficult for Heiyan Cave? Or are you thinking about betraying the law for personal gain and thinking that you are self-righteous?"
"This...!" A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xu Guanfeng's forehead.
The official who seemed to Dou Lianzhong had already said: "Marty, you can't say that. If Heiyan Cave had not relied on the protection of the mansion to them back then, they would not have dared to be arrogant in Xichuan."
"Who is this?" A smile appeared on Qi Ning's lips, "This lord, I am sorry for my marquis. I have just inherited the marquis and many officials do not know him."
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "This is Master Dou Kui and Dou, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
It turned out to be him, Qi Ning sneered in his heart. I thought Dou Kui knew the grudges between him and Dou Lianzhong, and smiled and said, "It turns out to be Lord Dou. Master Dou is really hard to agree with this. First, I said that the Black Rock Cave is arrogant. I don't know if it was Mr. Dou who saw it with his own eyes or heard from him? Lord Dou is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and has many things to do every day. In addition, there are other troubles to work hard. I am afraid there is no time to go to Xichuan. Even if you really arrive in Xichuan, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and you will not be able to condescend to the Miao people's Black Rock Cave, so there is no fact.
It was clear before that Lord Dou would not follow others and make arbitrary judgment...!" Seeing Dou Kui seemed to argue, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "Second, you said that Heiyan Cave had to be arrogant in Xichuan because of the Marquis of Jinyi. This is strange. Heiyan Cave assisted the Chu army in the past to be loyal to the court, not loyal to the Marquis of Jinyi. Moreover, the Marquis of Jinyi would never depose the public for personal gain. It was like if Lord Dou had a distant relative who killed someone and set fire, would the local government ignore it because he was a distant relative of Lord Dou?"
Dou Kui changed his color and said, "Mr. Please be careful when will this official have a distant relative killing someone and setting fire?"
"Just give an example, Lord Dou, do you understand?" Qi Ning said lightly.
Dou Kui snorted coldly and said, "Marty, it's better to say less of these examples of making something out of nothing."
"Yes, it's better to say less about things that are made of something out of nothing." Qi Ning also said lightly: "What did Xichuan say about it because of the face of Marquis Jinyi, so he tolerate Heiyan Cave. Hehe, isn't this a thing out of nothing? When did Marquis Jinyi's mansion cover up the Black Rock Cave? If Marquis Jinyi's mansion follows the national law, no one can make things difficult for them. However, if the law violates the national law, the local government will do things according to the law and there is nothing to worry about."
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "The Marquis said it well, no one is better than the king's law." He turned around and bowed to Longtai and said, "Your Majesty, Heiyan Cave's tax-resistant and killing officials are still trying to rebel. What Lord Lu said about killing chickens and warning monkeys is not without reason. If he can quickly wipe out the Lord of Heiyan Cave back to the capital, he will definitely be able to kill one to warn a hundred, so that the other caves of the Miao people will no longer dare to make trouble lightly."
Lu Xiao also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this time the Black Lotus Saint Sect sected people in the capital, and the Shenhou Mansion can prove it. They even dared to rob people from the Shenhou Mansion. Even the Jinyi Marquis was robbed by them. This is already a rebellion and rebellion. This time, we can wipe out the Black Rock Cave first, so that the Miao people dare not act rashly, so that they can know that the military power of our Great Chu is invincible, and then we can start to eradicate the Black Lotus Saint Sect."
"Marty Zhongyi, do you mean that too?" Longtai looked at Sima Lan, the Marquis Zhongyi.
The Marquis of Zhongyi bowed and said, "Report to the Master, if everything is true, in order to maintain the majesty of the court, it is naturally necessary to wipe it out, and the Lord of the Black Rock Cave is to beheaded and displayed in public. However...!" After pausing, he turned to Xu Guanfeng and asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation in the Black Rock Cave now? How did Wei Shutong deal with it?"
Xu Guanfeng said: "After this incident, Governor Wei had sent troops to block the important roads around Heiyanling, and the King of Shu also sent Jinguanwei to guard all over the periphery of Heiyanling, so that they would not escape. However, before the emperor's order arrived, Governor Wei did not order the attack on Heiyanling."
"Jinguanwei is the army guarding the King of Shu. Why did they go to Heiyanling?" Qi Ning frowned.
Dou Kui smiled faintly and said, "Don't the Marquis know that there are six villages in Heiyan Cave, and the three villages live in the fief of the King of Shu."
"ah?"
The King of Huainan smiled and said, "When the Li family surrendered to the court, the former emperor was very kind. Not only did he give the Li family many rewards, retain the title of King Shu, but he also rewarded a lot of land and granted two thousand fiefs. There were three villages in this Black Rock Cave, which were within the fief of the King of Shu. However, the fiefs of the two thousand were collected by the local government and then sent to the King of Shu. Now that his fiefs are plotting against the rebellion, the King of Shu sends troops, which is reasonable."
Only then did Qi Ning understand.
Sima Lan said: "Emperor, the letter from the King of Shu has arrived, but Wei Shutong's letter has not been sent to the capital yet. This matter is of great importance, not just a matter of a cave in the flower and Miao. The late emperor has always used gentle measures to the Miao people. Therefore, according to the old ministers, we will discuss it when Wei Shutong's letter is sent to the capital."
Longtai naturally understood what Sima Lan meant and nodded, "What Zhongyi Hou said is very true."
Lu Xiao couldn't help but say, "Old Marquis, if you don't act quickly, will Heiyan Cave have time to prepare? Heiyan Cave has a great influence among the Huamiao people. Will they secretly contact Huamiao other caves?"
Sima Lan sneered and said, "If the court is so afraid of the small black rock cave, how can it shock the entire Xichuan? Although the Huamiao people are barbaric and do not ritual, they are not fools. If the Black Rock Cave is really a tax-resistant and killing official, the court will wipe out it. Will the other caves of Huamiao be involved in the stupidity of the Black Rock Cave? Besides, it is the deep winter season, and the Xichuan must be blocked with heavy snow. Heiyanling is the place where the Black Rock Cave people live for a long time. They are extremely familiar with the terrain and environment there. In addition, if the officers and soldiers forcefully attack, they will probably suffer a lot. Since this is the case, it is not too late to block their escape route first and then make a decision after figuring out the specific situation of the matter."
Lu Xiao seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
Qi Ning thought that Sima Lan was a good plan, but she knew in her heart that Sima Lan opposed attacking the Miao Village in Heiyandong immediately, which might not be really selfless, but perhaps just to target King Huainan and others.
From the beginning, whether it was the Black Lotus Holy Sect or the Black Hole Rock, Huainan King and Lu Xiao and others seemed to want to send troops quickly, but Sima Lan was very persistent. Although she did not say that it was not to be attacked, the suggestions she put forward were all temporarily suspended.
After Xu Guanfeng stepped down, Longtai thought for a while before smiling and said, "Marquis Jinyi, has the epidemic poison in Beijing been solved?"
When Qi Ning entered the palace, he didn't expect to discuss the matter of the Black Rock Cave, but he thought that the emperor would ask about detoxification, and immediately replied: "Report to the emperor, yesterday, there were more medicine points in the capital. I applied medicine on behalf of heaven, and most of the infected people have already learned about the medicine. In order to prevent it, I ordered the medicine points to be removed until noon today."
Longtai smiled and said, "I already know, Ximen Wuhen, you said before, the antidote will be effective immediately."
Ximen Wuhen bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, the antidotes imposed by the Marquis of Jinyi on behalf of the emperor was indeed immediate. I have personally observed the situation of people infected with the epidemic after taking the antidote, and it has improved greatly overnight."
Longtai smiled and said, "Marquis Jinyi, this disaster has disappeared. You have made great contributions. I am ready to reward you. What do you want me to reward?"
"Reporting to the emperor, this is all the blessings of the emperor, and I dare not take credit for it." Qi Ning pretended to say: "Eat the king's fortune and relieve the worries of the king. As long as the emperor can stop worrying, it is the best reward for me."
Longtai laughed and said, "You have inherited the marquis and have a title, but I have not arranged an errand for you yet..." After pausing, he said, "Your grandfather and your father are both pillars of the army of my Great Chu, so... I am going to let you serve in the army."
The ministers looked different, but the Marquis of Zhongyi and King Huainan were both silent.
"Where is the emperor going to let me go?" Qi Ning didn't expect Longtai to let me go to the army and looked up and said, "Do you want me to go to the Qinhuai Legion?"
Qi Jing was once the chief general of the Qinhuai Legion, the strongest legion in Nanchu. Qi Ning naturally subconsciously felt that the emperor wanted to let him go to the Qinhuai Legion, thinking that this matter was not small, why didn't this little emperor communicate with him in advance?
Seeing this, Lu Xiao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Jinyi has not been in the army for a day. If... if... if we arranged to go to the Qinhuai Legion here, we would be afraid that people would not be convinced. Moreover, Yue Huanshan has followed General Qi for many years and is most familiar with the Qinhuai Legion. Now he is temporarily in charge of the Qinhuai Legion, which can be said to be the most suitable candidate. At this time...!"
Longtai frowned and said, "Lu Xiao, when did I say that I would let Qi Ning go to the Qinhuai Legion?"
Lu Xiao was stunned, very embarrassed, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "I deserve to die, I just focus on the country, so...!"
"I didn't blame you." Longtai waved his hand, "Get up." When Lu Xiao got up, Longtai said: "I am planning to let Qi Ning command the Heilin Camp to experience it for the time being. The two generations of Jinyi Hou were famous generals in my Great Chu. The Qi family is a military family. I believe that Qi Ning can also inherit the family tradition of Jinyi Hou Qi's family and serve the country."
As soon as this said, everyone was surprised. Even the Marquis of Zhongyi was very surprised and couldn't help but say, "Emperor, the Black Scale Camp is no longer there, so how can the Marquis of Jinyi lead the Black Scale Camp?"
