Chapter 116 This matter is absolutely essential, sir
The government office on Jiannan Road is a bit busy, with many people coming in and out, but the lobby is very quiet.
The two generals sat quietly in the hall, somewhat impatiently.
"Will Mr. Li San not come back today?" they asked.
The clerk standing outside the door hurriedly came in and saluted: "The third master is personally watching the gift for Your Majesty at the mine. It is a matter of great importance and I dare not urge him to come back."
The new emperor's ascension to the throne is indeed of great importance. The two generals can only swallow what they say about the urgency of the situation in the southeast. No matter how important it is, it cannot be said that it is more important than the emperor. It is inappropriate.
Before coming here, Governor Qi had warned that Jiannan Road was treacherous and be careful not to get caught. After all, they were here to catch people in Jiannan Road.
Another general picked up the tea and took a sip: "The congratulatory gift for the new emperor on his coronation is very important, especially under the current situation. The governor is not here. Fortunately, there are three masters in charge. When the three masters are chosen, we
It's good to take a look, we adults are also worried about the gifts."
This means that they will continue to wait until they see Mr. Li San. The clerk is grateful and apologetic: "I will send someone to take a look."
He turned around and went out to the backyard, where he saw Li Min sitting on the porch making rouge with three maids.
"Master Min, they have made up their mind to either borrow soldiers or wait for the third master to say not to borrow them. In short, they will not leave on their own initiative," the clerk said.
"If you borrow it, they will get benefits. If you don't borrow it, we will ignore the overall situation. From now on, if there is a problem in Southeast and Jiangnan, it will be our fault." Li Min curled his lips, "Has the person who inquired about the information come back?"
The clerk asked him to go and have a look, and soon he brought him back.
"There is big trouble over there in central Guizhou. Several state capitals have rebelled." The scout said, "Qishan is now being attacked from both sides by the rebels. If central Guizhou also falls into the hands of the rebels, it will be to the south of our Jiannan area."
It’s the boundary.”
Now the rebels are really increasing every now and then. The new emperor's ascension to the throne seems to have no effect on the stability of the world. The clerk sighed in his heart and looked solemn: "Qishan didn't lie. Seeing that these two people can have the patience to wait like this, I thought
It’s not that serious or urgent.”
"Qishan is not stupid, and he will not take action if he is not careful." Li Min stood up: "Please come, everyone, and let's meet Qishan's people together."
The clerk stretched out his hand to hold him back: "Master Min, then we really have no choice but to borrow troops."
Let everyone know that the safety of Jiannan Road is at stake. The soldiers of Jiannan Road are brave and do not take refuge in danger. After discussion, they will definitely agree to borrow troops.
"I just want to let everyone know that the current situation is critical and we can only borrow troops." Li Min murmured, and with a solemn expression, he patted the clerk and urged him, "It's already this time, the matter is critical, there is no choice, go quickly, I
Go too."
The clerk responded without hesitation and turned around to leave. When he reached the door, he turned around and saw that Li Min was not following him. Instead, he was still standing in the corridor, huddled among the maids and pointing.
"Don't overdo it. The technique is crucial. The smallest difference can make a huge difference in the color."
The clerk was a little helpless, which one was really important?
...
...
"This matter is the most important! Send troops quickly, send troops quickly, don't let the rebels get close to our Jiannan Road." Mr. Li San, who was still in a daze after being called back from the mine, was awakened by the news.
A few days ago, the government office was talking about giving gifts to the emperor on his enthronement. Li Min uncharacteristically asked him to choose one in person. He was not happy at the time, and it was not given to him to choose. He would have to take the trouble and trouble to choose the gift, and he would have to bear the responsibility until he came to the mine in person.
I understand Li Min’s intentions.
The gift that Jiannan Road wants to send is made by itself. Most of the materials come from its own mines and are made by the government.
It has been almost two years since he came to Jiannan Road. It was the first time he saw the treasure trove of Jiannan Road, including gold, silver, salt, iron and copper mines.
"Third Master, it's time for you to take a look." Li Min smiled close to his ear.
This belongs to Jiannan Road, this belongs to Li Fengan, this belongs to Li Mingyu, and now it belongs to him...!
Li Fengjing knew very well what it meant that the rebels were coming and Jiannan Road was in danger. It meant that the cornucopia would become someone else's.
"Third Master is right." Li Min pulled him to sit down, "Third Master, don't worry, we have already told Qi Shan that we will send troops."
All the civil servants and military officers in the hall nodded: "Don't worry, Third Master, it is our job as guards to counter the rebellion."
Li Fengjing didn't care what position he was in. He was relieved when he heard about the dispatch of troops. The civil servants and generals continued to discuss the map on the sand table.
Li Min winked at Li Fengjing, and Li Fengjing walked to the front of Gao's case. Li Min followed him with tea.
"Third Master, we have a big problem." Li Min whispered, "We don't have many soldiers left."
Li Fengjing jumped up like a cat that stepped in water: "How could it be!"
Li Min held him down and twitched his fingers to explain: "The young master took some of them, the young lady he was looking for went out with some, Taiyuan Mansion sent another part, and Jiangling Mansion... No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, we can't hold it back."
It’s divided like this.”
Li Fengjing pressed his heart, had he unknowingly sent out such soldiers? In this world, soldiers are money, and it hurts to spend them.
But there is no saving anywhere.
"Now we are going to central Guizhou to suppress the rebellion. It is different from looking for someone, delivering something, and guarding our home and courtyard." Li Min whispered, and waved his hand forward and backward in front of Li Fengjing's eyes, "In a war, you must at least use your weapons.
Ten thousand troops and horses."
Li Fengjing fell down on his chair. He didn't need Li Min to remind him. He was thinking about it. Without ten thousand soldiers and horses to protect him, what should he do on Jiannan Road? What should he do with the cornucopia of Jiannan Road?
"Third Master, I don't know Lord Xiang from Longyou..." Li Min whispered.
Mr. Li San, who has been in charge of the affairs of Jiannan Road for more than half a year, has developed his tact while traveling among officials, businessmen, wealthy people and dignitaries. Before Li Min could finish speaking, he sat up straight and his eyes sparkled: "There is also Mr. Xiang!"
Xiang Li's family didn't need to wait any longer. He slapped the table and stood up: "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say about this matter."
After that, he walked towards the officers and generals in front of the map.
Li Min held on to the tea cup that was almost touched and continued to finish what she had just left unfinished: "Have you recovered from your injury?"
But that doesn't matter anymore. Let's greet Xiang Yun together when we write a letter to ask for troops.
The hall resounded with the voices of Li Fengjing arguing with the civil servants and generals. Li Min, a servant, did not participate in these matters of adults and gentlemen. He would either quietly serve tea and pour water at the right time, or stand aside quietly.
When I stood there, I thought he was a bad person.
Bad guys are like this, they plot against everyone, not just Li Fengjing, Xiang Yun, but also their companions.
Li Min took a picture of the tea, he must be the most beautiful bad guy in the world.
.......
.......
Mr. Li San's opinion was quickly accepted by everyone. Who could not accept it? What he said was indeed reasonable.
"Mingyu is still young. He wants to help suppress the rebellion in Shannan, and he has to go to Linzhou for an audience. He has to have more soldiers and horses follow him, right? The emperor needs more soldiers and horses!"
"With Mingyu's absence, Jiannan Road cannot be without people. Let Lord Xiang come, not only to reinforce troops and horses, but also to stabilize people's hearts."
"What can I do? I am incompetent. My eldest brother died early. Brother, you died early, leaving behind a pair of children and a whole family in troubled times!"
"I don't care, and you don't need to tell me these big principles. This time the suppression of the rebellion in central Guizhou is very important. Xiang Yun must be present to make me feel at ease."
Li Fengjing beat his chest and feet, and felt happy and sad at times, which made the civil servants and military officers present also confused. Finally, they sighed, and it was indeed reassuring for Xiang Yun to do this.
Even if there is no need for troops and horses, Xiang Yun can lead the troops, so everyone takes a step back.
Longyou was at the same level as Jiannan Road, so he could not give orders. Li Fengjing asked him for military assistance in his own capacity.
Of course, Li Fengjing's identity did not require him to do this in person. After the civil and military officials dispersed, he went to rest on his own, and the lights in the hall of the Yamen were lit as always.
Li Min sat in front of the desk and carefully looked at a box of rouge. The clerk sitting on the other side was holding a pen and was a little distressed.
"You know you can't try rouge with the back of your hands. The effects on your face and hands are different." Li Min said, applying a little rouge to the corners of her eyes to create a light red color.
How do the officials know this? They don't know how to write this letter.
"How should I write this letter, Mr. Min? Are you really crying like the third master?" He said, it was degrading.
"Qi Shan gave us the letter, just press it and copy it." Li Min raised his chin to the table without moving his eyes, "He wrote clearly the pros and cons of the causes and consequences, and his literary talent moved the world.
I even cried when I saw it, let Master Xiang be moved too."
