The specific offices of the Privy Council are the specialized bodies known as the Twelve Chambers of the Privy Council. Except for some fictitious positions under the Privy Councillor, the real power of the Privy Council is held by the specific twelve-room institutions. The Privy Council of the Great Zhou Dynasty has 12 rooms, including east, south, west, north, in Beijing, branches, miscellaneous servants, military registration, officials, education and reading, and militia, and is in charge of almost all affairs related to the military aspects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among them, the eastern, southern, western, northern, and five-room rights in Beijing are the largest.

As the name suggests, these five rooms are in charge of the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the capital. It is comparable to the position of the six squires. Lin Jue was only a local criminal officer before, and he was promoted to the head of the East House in charge of the four major roads of Jingdong West Road, Jingdong East Road, Huainan East Road, and Huainan West Road, isn't this a step to the sky?

And in the end, although the position of the pacification envoy of Jingxi Road is also surprising, it is also reasonable. The so-called counterinsurgency and pacification envoy was only a temporary official position, equivalent to a minister, who was ordered to calm down various matters after the war, pacify the people, and eliminate the remaining bandits. As the owner of the east house, with Lin Jue as the appeaser, it was also a smooth success, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"Thanksgiving." Yang Jun said with a smile.

Lin Jue was stunned and didn't seem to hear Yang Jun's words, and after everyone reminded him, Lin Juecai kowtowed and shouted long live, and got up after receiving the order.

Everyone stepped forward to congratulate, and Guo Mian smiled and said: "Lord Lin, you are satisfied now, the court is really interesting to you." Those who have been added to the rank and knighthood have not been in vain for your efforts during this time. Congratulations. ”

Guo Kun also laughed and said, "Yes, brother-in-law, now you can raise your eyebrows." The dignified champion of the Great Zhou has always been disgraced, and this time it can be regarded as guarding the clouds and seeing the moon. My sister is going to be happy, and my little nephew, who has just completed the moon, will also have a knighthood. That's what it sounds like. I knew you had the ability, otherwise I wouldn't have married my sister to you when you were nothing. It's called discernment. Hahaha. ”

Lin Jue rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: Two skins in your mouth, no matter what you say, you are reasonable, you wanted to kill me for this matter at the beginning. Now again.

Yang Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Lin deserves this award, the details of this counterinsurgency are already known to the old man, Lord Lin is excellent in using troops, and the old man is very praised." After entering my Privy Council, the old man will have to worry a lot. Because there is one more capable leader. ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said: "The qualifications of the lower officials are shallow, and it may be difficult to take on this big responsibility, if there is anything improper in the future, please also ask Lord Yang to do a lot of Haihan." ”

Yang Jun smiled: "It's good to say, if you enter the Privy Council, you are my Yang Jun's person." I'm the most protective person, and the world knows it. ”

Guo Kun said with a smile: "What Yang Shumi said is, brother-in-law, you can rest assured, no one dares to look for you in the Privy Council." His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it's not too early, and the holy decree has been announced, I think it's time for us to set up a banquet and set up wine to wash the dust for Yang Shumi? ”

Guo Mian nodded again and again: "What I said is that someone is coming, set up a banquet, and wash the dust for Yang Shumi's envoy." ”

His subordinates hurriedly promised to prepare the banquet, but Yang Jun waved his hand and smiled: "You can't drink too much wine, and the old man can't delay more, the old man will rush to the army of King Huai in the afternoon to deliver the decree." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Guo Mian asked tentatively, "Is there still a will for Guo Xu?" This...... What reward did the court give him? ”

Yang Jun smiled and said: "King Huai made a setback, admitting that it was unfavorable to use troops this time, and resigned from the post of capital inspection, and the emperor also approved it." That's why this position was awarded to His Royal Highness the King of Jin. King Huai suffered some setbacks this time, but his attitude was correct. The emperor didn't punish too much, so naturally there would be no rewards. The old man went to deliver the decree and ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also going back to Beijing. The guards and soldiers left part of the soldiers and horses to be handed over to Lin Jue, Lord Lin is a pacification envoy, I am afraid that he will have to stay for a while, and he can return to Beijing only after everything has calmed down, and the rest of the people can triumph. ”

Guo Mian sighed, nodded and said, "I see, then I will prepare immediately and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning." Lin Jue, things here are hard for you. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and nodded, his mood was obviously not high. It stands to reason that he should be very happy to be promoted to the knighthood today, but Lin Jue is not happy. He was originally like an arrow, but now that he wants to stay to appease the aftermath, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to Beijing in three or two months. This made Lin Jue very unhappy in his heart. He didn't really want to be appeased and deal with the aftermath, it was an extremely tedious and tiring matter, and he didn't want to stay here and worry about it.

"Lin Jue, do you have any ideas for appeasing the aftermath this time. The old man felt that he should be able to calm down soon. I heard that you captured the bandit leader, is it the Zhejiang Donghai bandit Hai Dongqing? The emperor was very happy to know about this, this guy was the emperor's heart disease, but he didn't expect that he would run away and make these troubles again. This time I want to bring him back to the capital, and the emperor said that he will be in front of the Suzaku Gate in public. Hand them over to me in a moment. Yang Jun asked in a deep voice.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Yang Shumi, there is a request below. ”

Yang Jun said: "That's what you say." Do you want to keep more soldiers and horses for you? Distribute more food supplies to you? Don't worry, I've already arranged this. If you want to appease the people, you will naturally flee to give enough supplies and food. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Whatever you want, I'll give you as much as I can. It's just that the court is not rich, so it can't mess around. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan wanted to ask Yang Shumi to leave Hai Dongqing behind." I think this will play an important role in appeasing the people, calming the hearts of the people after the war, and eliminating the poisonous influence of the cult and bandits. ”

Yang Jun frowned and said, "What are you leaving him for?" The emperor named him to return to Beijing and Ling Chi in public. ”

Lin Jue said: "Yang Shumi, appeasing the people is much more important than venting anger, after this catastrophe in the east and west of the East and West Road, people's hearts are unstable, and the poison of Qingjiao has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. That's no joke. Hai Dongqing deserves to die, but he needs to show up before he dies. Xiaguan has already organized a propaganda group composed of Hai Dongqing and repentant sect members, and if this propaganda group goes to each state capital, exposes itself in front of the people, repents of itself, and tells all the deceptions and harms of the Qingjiao, this kind of statement will be a hundred times more effective than our painstaking persuasion. Hai Dongqing also agreed to cooperate, you see, can you be accommodating. Since the subordinate is ordered to be appeased, he must make an appearance, and he can't lose the face of the Privy Council, right? ”

Yang Jun groaned: "What you said is also reasonable, everyone in the court is also worried, it is said that this Qingjiao is extremely evil, and it is tempting the people to take the initiative to send them to death, right?" By the way, I heard that in the battle of Xingren Mansion, the cult bewitched the old man and the young man to be entangled in it, and took the initiative to send them to death, yes or no? ”

Guo Mian and Guo Kun were nervous, and they didn't know if the imperial court knew about the shooting of many bandit teenagers that day. If you know, I'm afraid someone will come out to accuse you.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "That's true, the Qingjiao controls the minds of the people very deeply, and the people are deeply poisoned. Xia Guan believes that even if the counterinsurgency is victorious, if the people cannot wake up and still indulge in the poison of the Qingjiao, once they are provoked and instigated, they will still cause other troubles. Xia Guan killed two captives yesterday because they had claimed to be the reincarnation of the Holy Father. It can be seen that once Hai Dongqing is executed, someone will immediately pretend to be his reincarnation and possession, and the same will cause trouble. ”

Yang Jun nodded slowly and said, "That's true, it's easy to defeat them, but it's the hardest to subdue their hearts, I know this very well." When the old man led the army to quell the rebellion of the Dangxiang tribe in Western Xia, the old man led the army to defeat the Dangxiang rebels and quell the rebellion. But only two years later, the rebellion resumed. The old man was puzzled, and later learned that it was the people's hearts that failed to be convinced. The party members are barbarians, and it is very difficult for non-our people to be subdued. I think the same is true of the people who have been poisoned by the Qingjiao. You are right in this matter, and you need to deal with it carefully. In this way, if you think that it will be useful for Hai Dongqing to stay in your hands, you can stay in your hands for the time being. But don't let him run away, after the matter here is over, he will still be escorted to the capital Ling Chi to show the public. The emperor hated him to the core. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "That's natural, thank you to Privy Envoy Yang, the lower officials are not very grateful." ”

Yang Jun waved his hand and said: "What are you thanking for, in order to completely quell the rebellion, I will go back to Beijing to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the emperor, and the emperor should not blame." By the way, there is one thing I want to ask a few of you, which is about the cause of Hai Dongqing's rebellion. I heard that Hai Dongqing claimed to be colluding with the Liao people and rebelled with their funding, yes or no? ”

Guo Mian hurriedly said: "That's true, this matter has been asked, and the bandit leader Hai Dongqing has also confessed." The confession has been recorded, and this time I will return to Beijing to report to the imperial court. Does Yang Shumi want to see a confession? The king immediately ordered someone to fetch it for Yang Shumi to see. ”

Yang Jun thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "No need, since the confession has been confessed, the evidence is already conclusive, and the old man doesn't have to read the confession." The Liao people really had wolf ambitions, and they actually coveted my Da Zhou and secretly funded people to rebel. There must be an explanation for this. Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if I'm going to have a big fight. His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I wonder if I will soon have to fight with the Liao, and the eldest prince will lead the army again. ”

Guo Mian's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly said: "But it's better not to go to war, fighting will cost the people and money, and it will be cruel." It's better never to go to war. If there is another war, I will not lead the army to fight, it is better for you to lead the army to fight. ”

A trace of disdain flashed on Yang Jun's face, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man is just saying it, how can it be so simple for the two countries to start a war, they have to weigh and consider carefully, I am afraid that it will be a lot of nonsense for a while, where is it so easy to fight?" ”

Everyone nodded yes busily, and the wine and food were placed between the talks, and everyone sat down. Yang Jun is not hypocritical, and he talks and laughs dryly. But he was very principled, and when he felt that he was about the same, he stopped drinking even Guo Mian's toast, saying that he couldn't delay the afternoon's trip.

Guo Mian couldn't say anything, Guo Mian was greedy for a cup, Yang Jun didn't drink it, he himself was drunk.
