Dao fruit.

The gaze was naturally Qiu Yan's. I don't know when Qiu Yan's gaze fell on Xu Yingyi. After being looked at like this, Xu Yingyi actually showed a little panic in his heart, as if all his thoughts had been seen through. same.

But after all, he had been a minister for a few years, and he quickly calmed down the strangeness, and looked away again, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This Qiu Yan practiced for a while before, even if he abolished his cultivation, if he wants to come There are still some evil methods, you still have to be careful, and this person is a huge threat to my many families, and I can't recruit him, now the arrow is on the string, I have to do it!"

Thinking of this, he gradually gained confidence.

"Besides, according to the evil gangster that day, their so-called acceptance of security is still an expedient measure. From the words of the messenger, it can be heard that he attributes the current unfavorable situation to Qiu Yan. If the former Qiu Yan In other words, in the past, he could have escaped with bravery even if he was in danger, but now that his cultivation base is not preserved, isn't it everyone's choice? No, I heard that this person has several subordinates, and their cultivation bases are not low. Waiting for a master..."

Thinking of this, Xu Yingyi turned his attention to thinking about how to remove Qiu Yan's assistants to reduce the number of variables.But at this moment, the emperor on the dragon chair spoke: "Qiu Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The emperor asked his courtiers for advice in the early court at the Golden Luan Hall, which shows an act of trust, but there is not much meaning of consultation in these words.In fact, it was to give Qiu Yan a step and make him agree to come down.

Regarding the emperor's thoughts, Qiu Yan knew in his heart that he was not very dissatisfied, after all, he was about to die.The consideration of many things will not be based on one's own temperament, but the impact of one's own death.

It's just that Qiu Yan will not easily hand over the leadership of these matters, not to mention Xu Yingyi and the others' surprise attack on the court.It seemed sudden to others, but it was not a secret to Qiu Yan, because neither Xu Yingyi's interest group nor the rebel army far away in Qilu had any secrets for him.

I thought about it for a while.Qiu Yan has already thought about how to deal with this matter.

"The emperor's life is not long. He originally suppressed me, not because of any hatred, but because he wanted to hand over the favor of promoting me to the prince. Apart from this, the emperor has trusted me more these years. It has given me a lot of convenience. In terms of power, I am no less than Zaifu. It is just that there is a lack of form. This kind of humanity pays attention to repaying kindness and revenge. Since the emperor treats me as a national scholar, I will be justified in the future To be in power, of course, he has to return him to a prosperous and peaceful world. If this is the case, then these Xiaoxiao who are jumping around are worthless." I have almost realized that from now on, they, and the family behind them, should also stop, and it is time to beat them."

With this in mind, Qiu Yan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this rebel army is willing to accept the recruitment, so as to save the two armies from fighting, it is a good thing. Few people are ordinary people who are deceived by rhetoric. Once the war broke out, it was not the rebel leader who was killed or injured, but the common people. Now that the thieves are willing to accept recruitment, it is considered a good deed."

"What Qiu Qing said is true." Upon hearing this, Li Kun knew that Qiu Yan had agreed, and let go of his worries, "Then let..." But halfway through saying this, Li Kun noticed Qiu Yan's expression and knew He still hadn't finished speaking, so he took the initiative to stop talking, and asked, "Does Qiu Qing already have an idea?"...

Qiu Wenyan took advantage of the situation and said: "This is a major national event for soldiers, tens of millions of food and grass, and thousands of vehicles, not to mention the military expenses and equipment spent during the period, which consumes silver every moment! Therefore, some things are delayed by the bandit army. Can afford it, but my officers and soldiers can't afford it?"

"Qiu Qing, what do you mean to suspect that the anti-army's promise to recruit security was fraudulent, and it was to delay time?" Li Kun asked this, but his eyes swept over Xu Yingyi.

From his point of view, it can be said that he is well aware of the struggle between the factions in the court, but it is only by balancing all parties that the value of the emperor can be shown, so naturally he will not say anything.

To put it bluntly, the emperor itself is the expression of the rules of the game. Only by relying on the forces participating in the court game to check each other can he gain the initiative.

Facing the emperor's rhetorical question, Qiu Yan didn't shy away from it, so he just said: "This matter involves military affairs, so we must act carelessly. I heard that in the middle of the previous dynasty, there was a courier who rebelled and corrupted half the world. But at the beginning, his soldiers were only ten thousand, and his food was less than three days. He was only patrolling in the Guanzhong for one generation, and after being surrounded by officers and soldiers, he said that he wanted to be recruited and won a small official..."

Hearing what he said, many ministers in the court showed sudden expressions. This matter was recorded in the official history, and they all knew it, and they understood the reason for it.

"So that's it. This simple sentence is considered a break." Meng Qingbin was a little worried at first, but after hearing this, he remembered Qiu Yan's usual plan, and he felt relieved.

Now, he, the banner figure of the neutral faction, has a closer relationship with Qiu Yan, half of which is due to personal friendship, and the other half is due to some of Qiu Yan's actions and propositions, which are conducive to the commercial expansion of their emerging families.

In the final analysis, many things in the court depend on the interests of each faction.

On the other side, Qiu Yan continued: "The leader of the thief lived in peace for a long time. Although he was an official, it was comparable to being the leader of an army. In addition, he was hard to get used to being controlled by others, so he raised the flag of rebellion again not long after. , so repeatedly, but when they lost the enemy, they voluntarily surrendered. However, the minister in charge of military affairs in the northwest at that time was repeatedly caught in the trap. Therefore, we cannot spend our priority troops in the northwest corner.”

Hearing this, Li Kun could see a sign: "Qiu Qing is worried that this villain from the sky will not get used to it, and raise the flag of rebellion again? Or is it simply to delay time? And the reason why the former court easily accepted that? The reason for rebelling against the army is due to the limited strength of the army and the exhaustion of the national power. Now, our Darui army has many generals and is the victorious army. It is really inappropriate to compromise with the bandits at this time, but what Xu Qing said is also reasonable. Wouldn't it be a pity if the thief really wants to surrender?"

The emperor's words seemed to be worrying about gains and losses, but Qiu Yan knew that it was because Li Kun was worried that he would make great achievements in the future, so he wanted to use this incident to put a shackle on his reputation. There are many hints in the words, and the point is that there will be discomfort after being recruited——

Even if he sincerely surrenders, the thief and the gangster have no taboos when they are rebels. They can decide everything by themselves, but once they are recruited, they will be suppressed by the court's precepts and controlled by others. excluded and discriminated against.

If it was in the early days of the dynasty, it would be fine, and he could be a meritorious official after surrendering, but now the structure of the Darui court is complete, and various values ​​have long been stable.

Regardless of whether Li Kun understood these meanings or not, he obviously decided to let Qiu Yan suffer.

However, Xu Yingyi, who planned to fulfill his wish, now had a bad expression on his face, because Qiu Yan's words turned the situation around. In his words, he was not in favor of recruiting security, which was equivalent to insurance in advance, and even if the incident happened later, he would have an excuse.

Of course, as long as the arrangements are made properly, Xu Yingyi and the others can still destroy this advantage and make Qiu Yan take the responsibility. What really worries him is the emperor's previous sentence "Xu Qing's words are also reasonable". He said that he was immediately allowed to participate in the recruitment process, and he was faintly placed in the proposed position. In the future, the thieves will repeat themselves, and they will not be able to get rid of their responsibilities.

"I don't know if the emperor said it unintentionally or on purpose." Thinking this way in his heart, Xu Yingyi actually already had an answer, knowing that the emperor probably still wanted to strike a balance. Qiu Yan and himself put on tight bands.

Qiu Yan understands this even more. In fact, although he has stripped off his cultivation base, he has cultivated his qi over the years, cultivated his official qi, tasted cause and effect and luck, and is extremely sensitive to changes in luck. Every time he goes to court, he can Feeling the ebb and flow of luck in the palace.

And the fate of the various ministers in the Golden Luan Hall also affects many yamen, involves the country, and even connects with hundreds of millions of people. Qiu Yan's experience of humanity is a kind of baptism and tempering.

Just now, this feeling was even more intense because it was a matter of personal concern. In Xu Yingyi's few words with the emperor, the changes in the luck in the palace can be said to be earth-shaking and far-reaching.

But amidst these changes, Qiu Yan decided to add fuel to the fire, so he took out two copies from his bosom, stepped forward and said: "About this matter of recruiting Anqilu thieves, I have a book to play." After the words fell, Passed one of the memorials over.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in the palace were stunned for a moment, and then they were all in an uproar.

Among them, Xu Yingyi, Cai Que, and others were the most surprised. These two chief executives couldn't care less about their appearance, and each stared wide-eyed, with the expression of seeing a ghost.

There is no other reason...

"Why did Qiu Yan prepare the papers for recruiting in advance? Could it be that he had expected the current situation?"

At this point, Xu Yingyi and Cai Que looked at each other, and they both saw shock and worry in each other's eyes, and then they felt something bad in their hearts.
