Chapter 111 The wind is rising
Jing Xun smiled and said nothing to Qin Yi's advice.
He looked at Qin Yi attentively and said, "I came here this time just to admire your grace. Now that I see you, you are indeed extraordinary."
"With your literary and military talents, you will definitely have a place in the imperial court in the future!" Jing Xun said decisively.
"Your Excellency, you have given me the award," Qin Yi shook his head, "No one can predict what the future will bring."
Jing Xun nodded after hearing this, "Indeed, the famous general Gu Yulan rose from Dali, the powerful official Zhao Liangyan was ambitious, the Emperor of Jing Dynasty collapsed, the Tianyou Dynasty was in chaos, and our Majesty worked hard to rule it.
Lord..."
Slowly, Jing Xun narrowed his eyes, "The future will be turbulent, the situation will be changeable, and the waves will be treacherous. I don't know who can take advantage of the trend!"
…
It is forty miles outside Lanfu City.
At the entrance of the deep cave, an unkempt man with a long knife in his hand was leaning against the mountain wall and looking furtively out of the cave.
After watching for a while and not seeing anyone, the man turned around and ran quickly into the cave.
After running through the long corridor, we came to a small cave.
At this time, a bonfire was burning in the center of the cave. The light of the fire illuminated the surroundings and drove away the cold.
Dozens of people were scattered around, all in ragged clothes and unkempt faces. Among the crowd, Meng Qun was equally haggard, but his eyes were quite bright. When he saw the person sent to conduct reconnaissance coming back, he asked, "How is it? Is anyone following you?"
The bandit who was looking at the entrance of the cave just now shook his head and said, "There is no one outside."
Meng Qun nodded and felt relieved.
The bandits around him felt a little unhappy in their hearts.
Some people couldn't help it and shouted loudly, "Master, let's stop doing this and rush back to Ningyou Mansion!"
"That's right, how long will it take to get back to Ningyou Mansion after walking around like this?"
"I told you, no one will follow you, the boss doesn't need to be so careful!"
It is precisely because Meng Qun was too cautious, hiding day and night, and traveling less than ten miles every day. As a result, they are still within Lilan Mansion and only forty miles away from the city.
When Meng Qun heard this, he shook his head and said, "You can make a big mistake if you are careful. If you are caught, you will lose your life!"
"No one will come after us, the boss is too careful!" the bandit retorted.
Meng Qun shook his head, "Others may not, but Quan Shenhan will definitely not let us go!"
The bandits were a little surprised. The one who wanted to track them should be the one who attacked the adjacent Tianfeng that day. What does it have to do with Quan Shenhan?
Knowing that everyone was puzzled, Meng Qun replied, "Quan Shenhan is a man who is determined to retaliate and is also cold and vicious. In order to prevent us from revealing our cooperation and to avenge ourselves for being deceived, he will definitely send people to hunt us down."
When the bandits heard this, they frowned and remained silent.
Although Meng Qun failed twice, his dozens and hundreds of victories in the past made many bandits know that it was best to believe in him at this time.
His judgment has always been accurate.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Meng Qun consoled him, "It doesn't matter if you go slow, being safe is the most important thing. As long as we wait for the brothers who are in charge to arrive and we have support, we can speed up and rush back to the mountain stronghold as soon as possible."
Almost all of the dozens of bandits here were injured, their combat power was damaged, and they were unable to cope with the changes. So after careful consideration, Meng Qun sent someone back to Ningyou Mountain Stronghold to deliver a message, ordering the remaining more than a thousand brothers to select 500 strong men.
The men were divided into several groups and traveled day and night to come to meet them.
Many bandits felt relieved after hearing this.
When the supporting brothers arrived, Quan Shenhan's pursuers would be nothing, and they no longer needed to be so aggrieved.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere became no longer dull.
…
Looking at Zeng Mingzhi, who was sitting behind the desk with a frown on his face, Ji Liang, the clerk, felt a little hesitant in his heart.
When they went out to hunt Jiao Mao out of the city, there were hundreds of police casualties, and the total amount of pensions was quite large. Therefore, he was just helping the experience manager calculate the amount of pensions.
Unexpectedly, the government officials came and said that the magistrate was looking for him.
Ji Liang knew that if nothing happened, Zeng Mingming would not look for him, so it was obvious that something had happened.
So on the way to the government office, he specifically asked the yamen officer, and learned that Zeng had been frowning since he had known that he had received the document from the governor's yamen.
Now that he came to the palace, Zeng Mingzhi remained silent and stared at the documents for a long time.
The language in the document has always been concise, and it does not take a moment to read it. Zeng Ming knew that he had read it for a long time, and he must have read it again and again. It can be seen that what is written in it must be important.
Therefore, Ji Liang became increasingly worried.
"Do you know who the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty is?" Zeng Mingzhi suddenly asked, his brows furrowed like the Chinese character for Sichuan.
Ji Liang shook his head quickly, how could he know this?
Zeng Mingzhi frowned and asked again, "Then do you think the person is from the left or the right?"
Ji Liang could no longer be perfunctory, so he could only think carefully.
In the court hall, the prime minister is one person below and above ten thousand people, and many civil servants and generals are following them.
Originally there was only one prime minister, but in order to prevent the prime minister from having too much power and manipulating the court. Hundreds of years ago, a far-sighted Emperor Linzhan divided the prime minister's power into two, namely the left prime minister and the right prime minister.
The left prime minister is the military prime minister, in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, and the right prime minister is the literary prime minister, in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.
In this dynasty, the current military prime minister is a man of extraordinary resourcefulness and is known as a monster of great wisdom.
In the twenty-third year of Zhanye's reign, a famous general from Dali defeated the former Duke Ying, defeated the troops led by the late emperor, and marched all the way to the important place of Linzhan, Zhanjing!
If it hadn't been for the military prime minister's strategizing and repelling hundreds of thousands of enemy troops hundreds of miles away from the capital, there might never have been another chance to visit the capital at this time.
Empress Zhanqing relied on the support of the Prime Minister to defeat many princes and become the new emperor.
After ascending the throne, Zhan Qing learned deeply from the teachings of his late emperor and was good at the art of balancing the emperor. He decisively appointed ministers who had enmity with the left minister as the right minister. When the two ministers fought, the emperor benefited.
But now, Jing Xun is the general, and the highest leader is the left prime minister. If he appoints the left prime minister as the imperial envoy, he will be partial, and if he appoints the right prime minister as the imperial envoy, he may be framed.
So Ji Liang had the answer and hurriedly replied, "Neither on either side!"
Zeng Mingzhi nodded, secretly sighing that Ji Liang's mind was still flexible, and then he was full of sorrow and said, "Indeed, your Majesty did not send out two-faced people, but..."
Ji Liang couldn't help but hold his breath and listened carefully.
Who comes makes a big difference.
If it were a kind person, it might be possible to reduce the major issue to a trivial matter. After all, the emperor can only judge the results, but cannot personally investigate.
As for who to investigate and how to investigate, it is up to the imperial envoy to personally arrange it, and there is a huge room for maneuver.
If the person who comes here is willing to kill, then even a person who has known that his fault is not serious will be charged with dereliction of duty.
