Cui Zheng has been in a high position for decades. He stands in the court like an old farmer in a wheat field.
There are countless wheat grains in front of the old farmer, but not every grain can be seen.
But the one named Xiang Yun is still somewhat familiar.
"Always follow Li Fengan." Cui Zheng looked at the famous post and said with a bit of sadness, "If Li Fengan is still there, there will be no Wu Yaer arrogance."
Not only Wu Ya'er, Ankang Mountain may not dare to rebel.
"Even if he rebels, he can regain the capital now." Some officials also sighed.
Cui Zheng asked: "What is the current situation in Jiannan Road? The previous paragraph said that central Guizhou was pacified?"
Li Fengan is gone, and there is only one Wajiedushi envoy of Jiannan Road. He had previously colluded with Quanhai, and after the war, he hid in Shannan Road in an attempt to get soldiers and horses from both sides to protect each other. No one cared much about it.
Just hide, at least Jiannan Road and Shannan Road have these soldiers and horses who are safe and sound. Can we still expect this baby Jiedushi to charge into the battle?
The officials hurriedly sent people to inquire, and not long after, official documents from Jiannan Road were sent, including congratulations on His Majesty's enthronement, vows to guard Jiannan Road, indicating that they would obey His Majesty's orders, and a pile of gift orders...
Cui Zheng nodded, no merits, no faults, it’s good to be able to do this.
"Sir, there is..." an official said, looking a little surprised, "It is said that Jiannan Road defeated the Chengqing rebels and Jiangling Prefecture was victorious."
Recently, there have been too many good news, both true and false. The Pengcheng camp on Jiangnan Road was defeated, but it was not occupied by the rebels. They knew the news, and they didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Although Jiangnan Road was not occupied,
The defeat of Pengcheng Camp means that the will of the soldiers and horses has been defeated. If the rebels attack again, the result will not be optimistic.
The real good news of the great victory was that the Lady of Chu State in Huainan Road captured Yangzhou and regained the entire Huainan Road.
So I didn't pay much attention to the messy official documents handed over by Jiangnan Dao.
How did it become the credit of Jiannan Road?
"This is from Jiannan Road." The official said, looking at the signature, he raised his voice and said, "Han Xu!"
Everyone is familiar with Han Xu, the beautiful wheat that brought so much joy to the wheat field.
"Is he still alive?"
"Stay alive. I seem to have indeed seen a letter from him, saying that he has successfully arrived at Jiannan Road."
"What is he doing in Jiannan Road? I forgot."
Things that happened more than two years ago feel like a lifetime ago now, and they are all blurred. A group of people used Han Xu to reminisce.
Cui Zheng looked a little emotional: "This man is a bit stupid, but his loyalty to the court is unquestionable and his will is firm."
But what happened to Jiangnan Road? It was said that he was asked to supervise Jiannan Road, but he had no soldiers and horses, only a paper order, and the emperor who gave the order was no longer there. Could he really supervise Jiannan Road?
The officials looked at each other, talking, guessing and asking. The attendants on the side were a little at a loss. Why did the topic turn to Han Xu? He had received a large sum of money, but he still had to say one more word.
"Prime Minister, Xiang Yun, the military governor of Longyou, was born in Jiannan Road and is a close confidant of Li Fengan. Li Fengan's children have been entrusted to him." He reminded, pointing to the name card that was thrown aside on the table.
"Asking him about Jiannan Road should make him very clear."
Everyone suddenly realized that Xiang Yun's Longyou Jiedushi was actually arranged by Jiannan Dao.
Cui Zheng nodded: "Invite him."
...
...
Jiang You was a little uneasy waiting in the inn, but he was relieved when he saw someone coming from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I told you not to worry." The entourage helped him change his clothes, "The prime minister must know about us, and he will definitely meet you when he sees the famous post."
I feel heartbroken as I say it.
"I gave you so much money."
Jiang You said: "Money is nothing. Money is used to buy roads. If you can't buy roads, it's just scrap metal."
He didn't say much else. Prime Minister Cui knew about Xiang Yun, but he didn't know whether he had met him or not. After all, at the beginning of the rebellion two years ago, Wu Ya'er fought to save His Majesty, and seven or eight generals led their troops to gather in Linzhou.
Later, there was a defense from the southeast of Qishan, not to mention the Lady of Chu who appeared on Huainan Road...
Times make heroes, Xiang Yun came out a little late, so sending more money will add a layer of protection.
Jiang You changed his clothes, got in the car and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is actually the former temporary palace of Prince Lu's Mansion. Linzhou City was too damaged, and the new emperor was kind and did not want to disturb the people, so he used many residences of Prince Lu's Mansion to house officials from the capital.
"My ministers are by my side, and I feel at ease." The emperor said to them with tears in his eyes.
But the emperor's tears told them that he could not rest at ease, because after so long the rebels not only were not expelled and Ankangshan was not killed, but they wanted to proclaim themselves emperor in the capital.
No one in the entire King Lu's palace felt at ease. Cui Zheng was sitting in the hall with a gloomy expression. The officials sitting on both sides also had solemn expressions. People who were used to this place didn't think so. Jiang You walked in as if he had entered a temple.
On both sides are scary and lifeless clay sculptures.
He hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and introduced himself: "I serve under Governor Xiang Yun, Governor Xiang is the military envoy of Longyou Road."
Cui Zhengdao: "I know who Xiang Yun is. Where is he now? Longyou or Jiannan Road?"
Jiang Youdao: "Just after we stabilized central Guizhou, your Excellency went to Jiangnan Road again."
Cui Zheng nodded: "Qianzhong and Jiangnan Road are indeed the result of Jiannan Road."
Jiang You raised his head and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he did not refute and said in a different way: "It's not necessarily true. In fact, it is also the merit of the Qi Governor of the Southeast Road."
Cui Zheng was confused: "The battle on Qishan Southeast Road is in full swing, can I still help you?"
That’s a real talent!
However, no one praises others for no reason. Cui Zheng remained calm and did not care about this person's tricks and let him listen to what he had to say.
"It's a long story," Jiang You said. The story begins with the death of Yan Mao. Although no rebels came, Jiannan Road was always in danger, and the soldiers and horses were scattered because their relatives were scattered. Xiang Yun encountered
After several assassinations, Xiang Yun left Jiannan Road and returned to Longyou in order to avoid danger.
Cui Zheng said something, understanding something, but he didn't say anything. He took a sip of tea and motioned for him to continue.
Jiang You then talked about the rebellion in central Guizhou. There were insufficient troops on Jiannan Road, and Longyou rushed to help. Xiang Yun was assassinated again. After going through many hardships, he went to central Guizhou and met Qishan. When Jiangling Mansion asked for help in a crisis, Southeast Road had no time to take care of itself.
"Dudu Xiang felt that this was a good opportunity to survive in danger, so he took the initiative to discuss with Qishan and decided to use Longyou soldiers and horses to pretend to be Southeast Road soldiers and horses to rescue Jiangling Mansion."
When Cui Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up without waiting for Jiang You to say anything else: "What a great idea!"
Jiang You saluted: "Fortunately, the opponent of this plan is not the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will know it as soon as he hears it and will not be fooled. My family will be in danger."
Although he heard compliments every day, Cui Zheng didn't care and didn't mind. He smiled when he heard the words: "Even if he guessed that it might be a trick, he didn't dare to take risks. Chengqing would most likely have to retreat. However, this is half and half."
Given the opportunity, it is extremely brave to act decisively."
He put down the teacup and looked at Jiang You nodding in admiration.
