v2 Chapter 16: Rumors (below)

"Let me talk about a nosy first."

Zhao Jiu smiled knowingly. "Just now there was a mess outside the palace. It is said that there was a disturbance by rumors, so I took such measures to deal with...but please rest assured that what I said outside the palace is also true."

Lu Hao asked the following, several prime ministers and people involved in this matter, including those who have been given a ‘Famous Shu’, whether believers or unbelievers, quickly bow their heads together.

"In addition, I am a normal man, and I definitely don't want to be a monk. If there is a lady who can follow Han Liangchen's uniforms, I will recognize it..." Zhao Jiu continued to laugh. "It should be noted that what I want to learn is the perseverance of Emperor Zhaolie of Han, not that he always abandons his wives and children, and Xinye is to the south."

The ministers still bowed their heads still, but there was a sudden movement in the heart of someone beside the official's house.

"Finally, this thing ends here!" Zhao Jiu suddenly became serious. "Walking away for a year, the Jinren has just withdrawn from the army, there is only a place above and below, and we must never have trouble for no reason...Zhang Jun!"

"The minister is here!" Zhang Jun was shocked, and quickly bowed his head.

"You are Yushi Taichung Cheng. If Yushi impeaches the prince and other central officials, or even anyone, for this reason, please don't hand him over. You should play the game first and dismiss this person before speaking!" Zhao official's tone Stern to the extreme.

"The minister got the decree!" Zhang Jun became more and more panicked, but he received the decree seriously.

The two servants in the palace, one Hu Yin, and the other recently made up by Li Gang and Li Xianggong, called to be Li Guang's, and bowed their heads solemnly together.

On the other side, Lu Haowen was naturally grateful: "The minister is incompetent, but thanks to the official for returning to protect!"

Lan Gui, who had been in a catastrophe, simply knelt on the ground, and thanked the official for protecting him.

Of course, I have to thank the official family for taking care of me!

Scholar Kobayashi, who has returned to normal recently, looked on coldly, but secretly sighed that Lu Haowen and Lan Gui had good luck.

In other words, on the road before, Scholar Kobayashi had already noticed that the official family was inappropriate. So far, he had seen it very clearly, and the official family was extremely angry with this rumor. However, what the officials are angry about is by no means such farce as famous names and rumors. It is because some people can’t wait to see such rumors. They just have to settle down and take the opportunity to make trouble. They want to make the weakest of the few confidantes. Lu Xianggong pulled off the horse!

However, the posture of the official at this time was also very obvious. He wanted to maintain the political stability of the accompanying capital, and was extremely angry at this kind of frequent dismantling of each other, so he would rather continue to keep his widow, and forcibly keep Lu Haowen.

As for Lan Gui, it was because of Lu Haowen that he escaped accidentally.

Thinking of this, Kobayashi once again swept towards several suspects-three of the remaining four xianggong excluding Liu Ji, Yushi Zhongcheng Zhangjun, who was already scared at this time, and Yan Xiaozhong who took the initiative to blend this matter. Yan Shaoyin.

Among them, in terms of behavior and personal style, Zhang Jun’s suspicion is the greatest, and Yan Xiaozhong’s suspicion is the least...As for the three prime ministers, they are indisputable and unclean anyway.

In fact, this should be another important reason why when the officials proposed to open the officials, they were passed only after a little concession. The officials were all suspicious.

"Officials!"

Just when Kobayashi's brain gradually worked as usual, Yan Xiaozhong, who was dark-faced, couldn't help but stand out directly at this juncture. "This matter is definitely a matter of public interest, because the minister has the qualifications of Tangzhou to know the state, and he has been captured. It is already a great future to be able to know Nanyang Mansion. At this time, he has no chance to slander the prime minister. The slightest benefit!"

"I said it!" Zhao Jiu rarely confronted with a straight face. "No one is wrong in this matter, so I have to mention it again!"

Yan Xiaozhong had no choice but to bow his head and say yes. Seeing this shape, Zhang Jun and several comrades, who had been slightly agitated in their hearts, were all solemnly and dare not say anything.

"As for the military marriage, we must guard against the "living wife" of Zhao Yan during the period of Cao Wei. I don't need to ask about the rest. Lu Xianggong is so knowledgeable and can act slowly." Zhao Jiu relaxed his face and said calmly. "Talk about Fan Qiong!"

Lu Haowen was relieved at this time, did not speak, but directly looked at Wang Boyan, and Wang Boyan knew it, and quickly went out and resumed the performance, but he was a lot more serious and compact: "Officials, good instructors. I know that in the past few days, the minister's research and judgment on Fan Qiong is different from the other comrades who are responsible for the problems. Fan Qiong is in Xiangyang, so he has a lot of detection and response, and now they are all here."

With that said, the privy envoy took a Zhazi out of his arms, and then ignored the Lan Gui who hurried over after he got up. Instead, he directly gave it to Lu Haowen on one side, and then Lu Haowen handed it to Lan Gui. .

"It's really detailed...Wang Xianggong has worked hard." Zhao Jiu opened the Zhazi, but he couldn't help but speak slowly. "It turns out that Fan Qiong did not occupy the entire Xiangzhou, but concentrated in the areas of Xiangzhou, Dengcheng, Niu Shou... 30,000 troops, is that much?!"

"Good instructors know." Wang Boyan quickly explained seriously. "Fan Qiong set off on his own, but only three or four thousand soldiers. But when he came to confront the Li Xiaozhong brothers, he recruited a lot of soldiers and horses from Jingxi South Road and Jinghu North Road... At that time he was an army, and Li Xiaozhong It's a thief, and the various military states naturally cooperated properly, so after Li Xiaozhong was driven out by him, he had about 10,000 troops in his hand, and these 10,000 soldiers were his foundation and support."

Zhao Jiu slowly nodded.

After all, at that time, Fan Qiong still had the possibility of a peaceful solution. Naturally, he would not go too far, so he was restricted by the establishment and logistics. In fact, at that time Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi actually had a core force of about 10,000.

"After the officials killed Liu Guangshi and Ding Jin, this person started to prepare a little bit with fear, and recruited some soldiers from the local area, but it was not too much. Adding one piece is only 15,000 people..." Wang Boyan continued to preach seriously. "But the official family must not forget that Wanyan Yinshu went in a hurry because of the Shanzhou incident, and only brought back the ten thousand households he had brought from Taiyuan, so much so that many people in Dengzhou had dropped gold before. The local defeated troops in the west of Beijing had nowhere to go, but the imperial army of the official family came over again, so they had to follow Zhao Zongyin's example and went to Xiangyang."

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, but calmly said: "So, it happened to be broken in one fell swoop, and we were wasting time. However, Wang Qing said on this note that Fan Qiong can still deal with Fan Qiong righteously. What does it mean? Is it going to be surrendered until now?"

"How could this happen?" Wang Boyan laughed hardly. "Before this, I sat and watched that Yan Yinshu could run wild in the west of Beijing, but was unable to adjust it repeatedly. The official Fangcheng didn't even come for the last summon. It can be seen that this person is very hard to stay...but the official, Fan Qiong loves the official. The family can’t tolerate him, so he is determined to be a rebellious courtier, but the soldiers under him may not want to follow him. After all, these people are officials in the name of officials and sergeants in the name of the court. The officials did not come before. Fan Qiong's reaction is not obvious. These people can still be stable. Now that the officials have led the army to Nanyang, how can they be stable and not worry about their future?"

Zhao Jiu nodded again... Actually, let alone Fan Qiong's subordinates, even Fan Qiong himself, who knew that he could not be tolerated by the central government, flinched. He did not dare to make up his mind to rebel. This has been a year since the previous year, countless Bashu taxes have been imposed. The goods transferred from the Yangtze River to the Han River and passed through Xiangyang to Nanyang, but this person did not dare to cut off the transportation to get a glimpse.

"Therefore, the minister has two strategies." Wang Boyan handed over again, but became serious again. "One is to ask the official to issue a decree, to designate Fan Qiong as the head of the rebels, publicly offer a reward, and to pardon innocents below Fan Qiong, and allow them to bring their own soldiers and horses to the imperial camp to report; second, please borrow Nanyang , Xiangyang’s geographical advantage, sending people to the south, spreading rumors in Xiangzhou, only to say that Fan Qiong’s commanders will be killed in order to serve Nanyang..."

Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed: "This is a strategy to drive tigers and wolves. It must be useful. Wang Xianggong laughed before. Why didn't he laugh at this point?"

"Report to the official." Wang Boyan became more serious. "This is a strategy of using soldiers, and the minister, as the deputy envoy of the clerk, has to do it, but such a sinister strategy, a moral person, should not be proud of it."

Zhao Jiu smiled and asked again: "Then I have spoken a long time ago, and I want to personally supervise the teacher to go south, is it counted as a matter of ninth-five-five-year-old management of fishy mutton?"

Wang Boyan was chattering for a while, but he could only forcefully explain: "Officials use righteousness to seek rebellion, and righteousness."

Zhao Jiu’s love knows what’s all about. It’s nothing more than facing people like Fan Qiong. No one has any psychological pressure. If you are facing a gold person, there were only 500 people last time, this group of people will be extremely difficult. Agree.

However, the official Zhao family was too lazy to talk. He just pressed the Zhazi which was in agreement with Liu Ziyu’s plan, and directly ordered: "This matter is the most unstoppable in all kinds of affairs, so he should roughly follow this policy and immediately implement the decree... Only The only thing, under Fan Qiong's temperance, can be forgiven by those who are segregated on the sidelines, but the gold-saving generation and the monk Zongyin are absolutely unforgivable! In addition, Nanyang must be logistically prepared, and Jinghu Lake behind Xiangyang is there to Ma Shen. Contact as soon as possible. Once Xiangyang is shaken, I will personally supervise the teachers and send troops to quell this horde!"

Lu Hao asked the following, until Yan Xiaozhong, all the relevant people, a rousing spirit, had to respond together.

However, amidst the more and more obvious cooing, Kobayashi took the lead and said: "Officials, ministers, please go to Xiangzhou first, and personally implement this strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves for the officials!"

Zhao Jiu looked at the indomitable Kobayashi scholar, secretly admiring him, but nodded slightly: "Just as Lin Qing said."

After that, the official Zhao's family, who had to stay alive due to bureaucratic infighting, didn't wait for everyone to bow their hands. He got up and went to the harem to tease the wild pigeons.

For a while, everyone in the hall could only look at each other in embarrassment-what is it to find a few ladies for single officials? But in the end, it was cheaper to own a group of people who had wives and concubines. What is it all about?

No wonder the officials are angry.

PS: Good night everyone...
