The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 186 No one is a fool

know~~know~~
At the beginning of autumn, the cicadas were singing all over the mountains and fields, and the final ensemble was sounding. The hot breath made people sweat in the sun. The two carriages from Taiyuan were rushing at full speed regardless of the heat.

Geng Qing was sitting in the sweltering carriage, trying to figure out the current situation in Chang'an. The news of Bai Yunxiang's mother and child arrived, and it took more than a month on the way.

Of course, it happened a month ago, when he was still busy in Taiyuan moving people to farm.

"Dazhu, let's take a rest. It's too hot. When Feihu County is the hottest, it's not as hot as here."

The sound of spring was heard outside, Geng Qing opened the corner of the curtain, Jiuyu was riding a horse, there was no sweat on his face, and the young and strong in other villages were already sweating profusely.

Immediately, he nodded and told Dachun to go to a forest in front, "Don't rely on the side of the road, hurry the carriage deep into the forest, and someone will come back and cover up the traces on the ground."

After giving some instructions, the young man in the car lost his thoughts again as he looked at the letter in his hand.

It doesn't matter whether Li Ke sent people to chase him or not, Chang'an is the most worried. Combining the different letters of Qin Huaimian and Xie Tong, and the court movement heard in Taiyuan during this period, Li Ye should be facing Shu. Use troops.

The emperor should not focus on orphans and widows, let alone not being familiar with him.

Stepping out of the carriage, the sky was scorching hot, and you could feel the scorching heat through your clothes. Geng Qing raised his head, seeing the scorching sun, and cursed: "It's so fucking hot!"

He went into the woods for a short rest.

White clouds floated across the blue sky, and the scorching sun couldn't cover up the warm pillows and even the boiling emotions of the people in Chang'an.

After all, after being weak for many years, the imperial court finally became stronger.

Just as Geng Qing thought, a month ago, it became more and more obvious that the imperial court had secretly planned the Shu region for three years. It secretly instigated Dongchuan Jiedu envoy Gu Yanlang and Lizhou (Sichuan Guangyuan) governor Wang Jian to set up the Yongping Army, and Wang Jian went to Qiongzhou as an example. The Jiedu envoy confronted Chen Jingxuan, the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, and several frictions of varying sizes occurred.

On the bright side, Li Ye sent Li Xun, a doctor of Zuo Jianyi, as the coordinator of Liangchuan, secretly urging Gu Yanlang and Wang Jian to prepare for the battle, and at the same time calming Chen Jingxuan's emotions, making preparations for the final attack on Xichuan.

The rest of the matter is waiting to be fermented. The military letters between Chang'an and Sichuan have highlighted the atmosphere of the emperor revitalizing the court, and Li Ye is working on another matter.

"Privy envoys Yang Fugong and Wang Yanfan, Lieutenant Liu Jishu of the Left Army, and Lieutenant Wang Zhongxian of the Right Army are all on my roster. Li Keyong from the north has no time to look south and confront Zhu Wen, Helianduo, and Li Kuangwei. Such a wonderful opportunity is precisely What do you think of my opportunity, Qin Shilang?"

Wen Zhaodian study room.

Sandalwood incense wafted out of the censer. Right behind the first dragon case, the emperor Li Ye, who had been sitting for three years, was no longer confused as when he first ascended the Great Treasure. After reviewing the memorial in his hand, he raised his face and looked at the burly figure below Minister of the Ministry of officials.

"Qing is an old minister, with superb swordsmanship, you must protect me when the time comes."

The words were spoken in a joking manner, and to Qin Huaimian's ears, it sounded like beating. Today's His Majesty does have the appearance of a wise king, and he is also skilled in strategizing, but he is too obsessed with balancing the forces in the court.

I don't know if I know that the eunuchs in the palace were related to Geng Qing who had quit Chang'an. The new prime minister came from the Qinghe Cui family, and he was the same cousin as the Cui Qin who was killed by Geng Qing back then.
At this time, the other party was standing in front of Qin Huaimian, with a tall and straight figure, a broad face and a high nose, a half-foot beard on the upper lip and lower chin, about thirty or two years old, his eyes were like eagle eyes with a cold light, as if he was always examining others.

Soon, several civil and military officials who had been summoned came out of Wenzhao Hall, and Qin Huaimian who was walking in front was stopped by someone, it was the new prime minister Cui Yin.

Come over with a smile, and walk side by side with Qin Huaimian.

"Qin Shilang left in such a hurry? By the way, what His Majesty said just now, you and I must be of the same mind. The eunuch's disease has been stubborn for a long time. It should be completely eradicated now."

"What Cui Xiang said is that Qin will naturally obey His Majesty's orders." Qin Huaimian followed with a chuckle, as if he couldn't feel the tension between the two of them. After walking a few steps, he looked at the front, "Forget one thing, Cui Xiang Is there a marriage?"

"Hehe. Qin Shilang, Cui is thirty-two this year, do you think you are married?"

"Then why, Qin heard that someone in Cui Xiang's family spied on a pair of orphans and widows. Does Cui Xiang like it?"

"Ha ha."

Cui Yin turned his face, the sun was falling on his face, squinted his eyes, and smiled at him: "Probably. I like it."

Humph.

On the side, Qin Huaimian also lowered his voice, laughing out loud.

"Cui Xiang, look how good the sky is, if one day you can't see it, it will be a pity."

"Hehe, what the servant said is true."

The two meant something, and chatted casually like old friends for many years. They walked out of the palace road and got into the carriages outside the imperial city. They were still greeting each other with smiles at the last moment. The moment the curtain was lowered, Cui Yin's smile turned cold, The coachman shouted softly: "Go!"

The death of Cui Qiao back then shocked the Cui clan of Qinghe. Unfortunately, the Yellow Bandits were in power at that time, and they could not be shaken. Things turned up again, and Cui Yin's appearance was the first step.

In the past three years, the whole story has probably been figured out, but Cui Yin knows that the man still has many old friends in Chang'an, among which the eunuchs in the palace used to be the sharp weapon in the man's hands, eradicating the eunuchs just catered to the emperor and cut off the resistance .

But to cut off these eunuchs who hold military power, it is obviously inappropriate to count on Chang'an, after all, no one knows if there are any eunuchs among them.

Some time ago, he set his sights on Zhu Wen in the east.

He also knows the other person's temperament and what he likes, and when he passed by Dongshi a while ago, he saw a graceful female shopkeeper of a restaurant. Although she has children, it is precisely because of this that she suits the appetite of the person from Bianzhou.

"Look for an opportunity, tie this woman up and send it to King Dongping"

The light of the sky streaked across the white clouds, and the eastern sky was dark, as if there was an autumn rain. In Bianzhou, Zhu Wen, who was resting in the big tent of the military camp, suddenly woke up from his dream with a jolt.

It was dark outside, and the autumn rain was pattering on the tent. His forehead was full of cold sweat, which rolled down his cheeks densely. Feeling the damp and cold blowing in from the opening of the tent, he put on a single coat, got off the wooden bed, and walked to the tent. mouth.

The light was dim, the sound of crashing rain, and the steam on his face made him wake up a lot.

"Damn, why are your eyelids always twitching? Could it be that there is a villain behind you?"

In the thought of 'probably there is a villain behind the scenes', wrapped in single clothes, he cursed: "Don't let Gu know which bastard it is! Otherwise, kill his whole family!"

Immediately, he yawned a long time, turned around and walked back, continuing the unfinished dream just now.

At the same time, on the north side of the east river near the boundary of the river, there was heavy rain, and a thousand Qingqi galloped on the official road in the rain, rushing towards the nearby bridge and wharf.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes splashed water and flew past. In the depths of the nearby forest, several pairs of eyes watched behind the yellowed bushes. After that, someone turned and ran into the depths of the forest.

"It seems that King Jin is not a man with a big heart."

Jiuyu moved his seat, out of the place where the rain fell, a few steps away, Geng Qing was sitting on a piece of blue rock, slowly tearing white flour pancakes and chewing them in his mouth, just raised his face and smiled at what the eunuch said one time.

"Actually, this is very good. In the future, everyone will owe each other. If he wants to kill them all, I will be able to do so in the future."

No one will be so stupid, the cavalry is everywhere outside to invite Geng Qing to go back, there are now two carriages for a group of people, plus the young and strong people brought out from Gengjia Village, there are no more than ten people, wanting to confront the Shatuo cavalry head-on, Obviously not.

No matter how good the strategy is, it can only be used as a way to escape at this moment.

The heavy rain did not stop. Soon, a group of people quietly came out from the other side of the forest. Jiuyu rode a horse to stop at the front. Geng Qing and others rode slowly behind in a carriage. They got news from time to time and hid in the dense forest or the mountain depression. In this way, it is safe to leave the boundary of Hedong and arrive at Hezhong Mansion.

If all goes well, they will arrive in Chang'an soon.
