King Qi's expression changed slightly. Behind the screen, Lu Haosheng was also startled, but he could only walk out slowly. Seeing Chu Huan looking at him with a stern expression, he reluctantly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Chu Du...!"

"Lu Changshi, are you talking about Beishan soldiers?" Chu Huan asked directly without waiting for Lu Haosheng to say more, "Then what is the situation in Beishan now? How many soldiers and horses have rebelled, and is their target now Yu Changcheng?"

The corner of Lu Haosheng's mouth twitched, but he still said solemnly: "That's right, Beishan mutiny, some people surrounded the posthouse, trying to kill the governor...!"

"Wait a minute." Chu Huan frowned and said, "Master Lu is saying that someone is besieging the posthouse?"

"Exactly." Lu Haosheng said: "They blocked the front and rear doors of the post house, armed with weapons...!"

Chu Huan directly interrupted: "Lord Lu, you said they surrounded the post house to kill you?"

"This... of course this is to kill me." Lu Haosheng frowned and said, "Otherwise why would they surround the posthouse?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "But as far as I know, their purpose seems to be to pay back the arrears of military pay. It's because you, Mr. Lu, couldn't appease the soldiers, that's why they came to collect debts. I wonder if that's the case?"

Lu Haosheng frowned and said: "Master Chu, even if they can't allocate the military salary, they can't besiege the post house, so if they rebel."

"Lord Lu, you should know that begging for military pay and mutiny have two different meanings." Chu Huan said with a stern expression, "It's only natural for soldiers to pay their salaries. Even the imperial court will not say that they are at fault. That's a rebellion, so you have to send troops to suppress the rebellion. You haven't made it clear yet, are they asking for payment or mutiny? From what you're saying, asking for payment and mutiny seem to be the same thing. Some words are easy to say, but they must be dealt with The method is completely different, if the Beishan soldiers are really just asking for pay and have no intention of rebelling, and the prince listens to you and sends troops to quell the chaos, do you know the consequences?"

Lu Haosheng was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth: "I...!"

"Also, according to what they said, you only stayed in Yuchang City for one day. As soon as the soldiers came to the post to pay, you immediately ordered you to leave Yuchang City." Chu Huan stared at Lu Haosheng coldly, "You are sent by the prince." Going Governor, before you leave, you should know that the situation in Beishan is very chaotic. The purpose of sending you there is to restore order to Beishan... I see that you were full of confidence before you left, but now you don't I understand, why would Mr. Lu leave Yu Changcheng alone when a small soldier asks for his salary?"

Lu Haosheng said angrily: "Lord Chu, don't talk nonsense. Why did the governor leave Yu Changcheng alone? It's just that the soldiers besieged the post house. Does the governor still want to stay there and let them kill him?"

"Lord Lu, according to what you mean, Lord Gongsun shouldn't have stayed at Shuoquan when the people from Xiliang came to fight, but should have abandoned the city?" Chu Huan was aggressive, "At the beginning, when the army of Xiliang people approached, Lord Gongsun was still guarding the city. Shuoquan, now you are in Yuchang City, but the posthouse is besieged, and you haven’t figured out what happened, so you abandon the city...!" Turning to King Qi, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, as a Governor, encounter difficulties, I didn’t think of a way to solve the problem, but I ignored everyone and asked the prince to make a decision.”

Lu Haosheng sternly said: "Chu Huan, you...you are bloody. You know that the governor has no soldiers and no power in Beishan. They are armed with weapons and want to break into the post house. Is the governor going to be slaughtered? Just to beg There is no such way to pay, it is obviously a mutiny, but now you put all the responsibility on the governor, you... what do you mean?"

"Master Lu, don't forget that before you went to Beishan to take up your post, I reminded you again and again that the situation in Beishan is not optimistic, and you should act with discretion." Chu Huan said slowly: "But you didn't listen to my advice and insisted on Go, when the prince gave you the power of governor of Beishan, you also took responsibility, and now the situation in Beishan is out of control, can you shirk your responsibility?"

Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "The governor did not shirk his responsibility. After the Beishan Rebellion was put down, the governor... the governor will naturally let the prince do what he wants."

"My lord." Chu Huan stared at King Qi, "The lower official once said to the lord that he must restore stability in the northwest as quickly as possible, so as to accumulate strength, follow the lord's order, and send troops into the customs... But now there is chaos in Beishan, If it cannot be dealt with in time, it will inevitably lead to greater turmoil, and the prince's plan to enter the customs may be delayed even more...!"

King Qi hurriedly said: "Chu Huan, what do you think should be done now?"

"I would like to ask the prince to show you how to deal with it," Chu Huan said.

King Qi was stunned, his gaze happened to see Gongsun Chu, and he hurriedly said, "Chu Huan, if... if you send Gongsun Chu to Beishan, will the situation be stabilized?"

At this time, King Qi was anxious, and he blurted out this sentence. Although Chu Huan had long wanted to let Gongsun Chu go to Beishan to take up his post, he did not mention it to King Qi by name. On the contrary, Lu Haosheng said privately to King Qi, It is very likely that Chu Huan will send Gongsun Chu to Beishan, and this must be prevented from happening, which is why King Qi recommended Lu Haosheng to go there.

Now that Lu Haosheng came back from Beishan, the dragons in Beishan had no leader. King Qi couldn't help thinking of asking Gongsun Chu to fight the fire.

"Gongsun Chu?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"Gongsun Chu is from the Northwest, and...and very talented. Now that there is chaos in Beishan, sending Gongsun Chu, will it be able to solve the urgent need?" King Qi said: "Chu Huan, you just said, what is going on in Beishan? The situation is still unclear. If it is really just asking for salary but not a mutiny, sending troops easily will make things worse. But we can't just sit idly by now, so... so... so whether we can let Gongsun Chu go to Beishan to have a look? look?"

Chu Huan sighed: "My lord, if that's what you mean, Gongsun Chu can go there. It's just that Lu Changshi only knew to come back in a hurry, and he didn't even fully understand the situation there. Maybe it was just asking for salary, or it might be true. There is a mutiny, and Master Gongsun is going to go at this time, it is quite dangerous...!"

"My lord...!" Gongsun Chu cupped his hands and said, "If my lord has an order, I will go through fire and water in a lowly position, and I will not hesitate to do so, but...!"

"Just what?"

"It's just that under what name should I go?" Gongsun Chu asked respectfully.

King Qi frowned slightly, and Pei Ji had already said: "If Master Gongsun wants to go to Beishan, of course he can't just take a look. If he can solve the problem over there, he must solve it immediately... But you are the governor of Yuezhou in Xiguan. I have no right to intervene in the matter of Beishan...!"

King Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chu Huan, in your opinion, what name should Gongsun Chu go to?"

"My lord, what General Pei said is very true. If you only go to Beishan to know the state, even if you go to Beishan, you have no right to intervene in Beishan's affairs. It is impossible for Beishan's officials to care about Gongsun Chu." Chu Huan looked serious, "Name If it’s not right, it’s not going well...!” After a pause, he said: “The only way to deal with Beishan’s affairs is the Governor of Beishan, and now Mr. Lu is the Governor of Beishan, so there are only two options.”

"Two roads?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "The first way is still for Mr. Lu to return to Beishan to figure out the problem there. If it is really a mutiny, the prince will order that we immediately send troops to quell the chaos. If it is only because of the commotion caused by asking for pay, As the governor of Beishan, Mr. Lu must find a way to calm the situation. In any case, before the mutiny of Beishan is confirmed, the governor of Beishan must sit in Beishan." Glancing at Lu Haosheng, "Master Lu, do you understand what I said?"

Lu Haosheng finally escaped from Beishan. Hearing what Chu Huan meant, he seemed to let himself return to Beishan again. He was anxious, and looked at King Qi, who frowned and asked, "Is there another way?"

"Send Gongsun Chu there, in the name of Governor Beishan." Chu Huan said: "If you want Gongsun Chu to take the risk of going to Beishan to calm the situation, you must give him the power of justice. Only the Governor of Beishan has such power, so the prince can order , with Gongsun Chu as the governor of Beishan, go to Beishan to calm the situation."

The corners of Lu Haosheng's eyes twitched, and he was about to object, but Chu Huan had already looked at him: "Master Lu, are you willing to rush to Beishan immediately? There is no need to delay, you have made a big mistake, and you need to make up for it now." Move now...!"

King Qi is not a fool, he already understands that Lu Haosheng can't play well in Beishan at all, otherwise he won't return home. Now Beishan is in turmoil, but he can't just sit idly by, frowning slightly, said: "It seems to Lu Changshi I'm not familiar with the situation in the northwest, so if it's really impossible, I can only let Gongsun Chu go to Beishan."

Gongsun Chu got up immediately, cupped his hands and said: "I will obey the order of the prince."

"My lord, Gongsun Chu can set off for Beishan immediately, but there is one matter, I ask my lord to make a decision now." Chu Huan said: "The lord just appointed Lu Changshi as the governor of Beishan, and after only a few days, he appointed Gongsun Chu as the governor. Let's go, I will understand the reason, but not many people in the Northwest know the reason... Some people who don't know the truth, I'm afraid they will think that the prince's order is changed from day to day, the dignified governor of Beishan, the chief official of the frontier, appointed and dismissed so hastily, It will inevitably cause many people to gossip, and it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the prince."

King Qi hurriedly said: "What you said is, Chu Huan, what should we do then?"

"My lord, there is only one way." Chu Huan said: "To preserve the reputation of the lord, it depends on whether Lu Changshi is willing to sacrifice for the lord."

Lu Haosheng frowned and said, "You...what do you mean by that?"

"We can announce to the outside world that it is not the prince's intention for you to go to Beishan, Mr. Lu, but you have been confused for a while and misappropriated the name of the prince." Chu Huan said coldly: "In this way, the prince's appointment of Gongsun Chu as the governor does not exist. The order is changed from day to day, and you still retain your reputation and prestige, but you, Mr. Lu, will naturally be punished by the lord because you embezzled the name of the lord."

Lu Haosheng's face suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "This...!"

"Master Lu, don't you want to be loyal to the lord?" Chu Huan stood up slowly, "My lord, the method of punishment, I have already thought about it clearly, although stealing the name of the lord and pretending to be the governor is a heinous crime that can be punished by death, but Lu After all, my lord has made meritorious service to the prince, so I am open... Lord Lu, you have two options. The first one is to be dispatched to the Northwest Army camp at Yanmen Pass. General Ganhou Gan is there. Let me say hello and let him take care of you... The other way is to temporarily enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice...!" With cold eyes, staring at Lu Haosheng, he said without any room for negotiation: "Master Lu, which one do you want to choose? one?"

Lu Haosheng's face turned pale, he took two steps back, looked at Chu Huan, suddenly laughed, raised his finger to Chu Huan, and said: "Chu Huan, I understand, I understand, all of this is actually you It turns out that...it turns out that from the very beginning, you set up a trap...!"
