Two pieces of news arrived in Chang'an almost at the same time, one was an 800-mile urgent military report sent by the king of Changsha, the king of Jiujiang and Yun Xiao, the general of Zhengnan. The Marquis of Lintong broke the Dongting Water Bandits, and the King of Jiujiang and the King of Changsha were beheaded by more than 10,000 people.

The other is Dou Yuan's 800-mile urgent secret report, the king of Jiangdu was killed by the rebels, and the remaining rebels of Xiang Sanqiu have been scattered, and the culprit cannot be traced.

Liu Qi's desk also had these two reports on his desk almost at the same time, one was submitted by Taiwei Zhou Ya, and the other was submitted by Prime Minister Liu She. One is a success, one is a funeral. I really answered that sentence, and I was happy and painful.

It has been more than 70 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and there has never been a case where the incumbent vassal king was killed by the rebels. Liu Qizhen didn't know how to deal with Yun Xiao and Dou Yuan? Dou Yuan is a civilian official and does not care about military affairs at all. It is reasonable to let him recruit Xiang Sanqiu, but it may not be appropriate to let him confront the rebels.

Dealing with the clouds? Just won the battle, and the 800-mile Dongting Lake was pacified. The water bandits who have been entrenched for more than ten years have disappeared, and according to the distance, my will to rescue the king of Jiangdu may not have reached Jiangdu.

"You two also take a look, one is the head of the civil ministers, and the other is the leader of the military generals. Tell us what you think. ”

Liu Qi exchanged the two reports, and Qiandu transferred them to Zhou Yafu and Liu She respectively.

Liu She, who had a solemn face, felt a little more relaxed after reading the report, at least not as if it was covered with a layer of frost just now.

Zhou Yafu, who was happy, suddenly felt more nervous on his face after reading the report, at least not like just now, as if he had just married a concubine.

The change in the faces of the two was completely expected by Liu Qi, and how to deal with one joy and one sorrow was really a difficult problem.

"Let's talk about it. Liu She, you are the prime minister, you say it first. ”

Liu Qi looked at the scheming Liu She, hoping that he could give him some advice.

"Old minister...... Lao Chen thinks. The murder of the king of Jiangdu should be kept strictly secret. Externally, it can be declared that the epidemic has died. As for the Marquis of Lintong, he can issue a secret decree to severely reprimand. Remembering its thin merits. It is not necessary to cut its fiefdom. This son is too young. The title is big, what should happen if there are more military exploits in the future. For the long-term peace and stability, for the country's social planning. The Marquis of Lintong should not be rewarded again.

However, if the merit is not rewarded, but the fief is cut off, I am afraid that it will not be able to account for the ministers and the people. And it will also arouse suspicion, and Chen Jian yì will not punish the Marquis of Lintong. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Liu Qi hadn't spoken yet, and Zhou Yafu, who was suffering from no solution, was like grasping a life-saving straw. Immediately expressed his stance and supported Liu She's construction.

looked at Zhou Yafu with his head down, a real soldier can never become a politician. But the tragedy of military personnel is that their fate is often in the hands of politicians.

Cang Jingkong came to Jiangnan again. The mission is still the mission. Other people's family traditions think that it is drudgery, and they can grind as much foreign labor as they have to grind. Only Cang Jingkong made every effort to rush to Jiangnan, and his wealth was all tied to this young marquis. Let him know the situation in the capital as soon as possible, and he will think of ways to deal with it earlier. Relying on Hou Ye's cleverness, there must be a way to solve it.

Yun Xiao saw Cangjingkong in Yueyang City, which was under renovation, and the old guy was about to be turned into a Lantern Festival. The white sideburns were a little disheveled, and the face was unnaturally flushed. Obviously, the quick journey made the old man suffer enough.

The purpose was very simple, praised the whole army of Yunxiao, and then said something like the pillar stone of the society. In the end, when I was fishing for dry goods, there was nothing to do, only a hundred taels of gold. It's gold, not gold. Yunxiao's reward department will be far more than that.

However, Liu Qi did not forget his own family in the end, and the title of Jimo Hou hung on Liu Cheng's head. Although he is only a marquis, being able to become a marquis and have his own fief is the goal he pursues. When he had heard the proclamation, he got up from the ground. Dragged Yun Xiao and asked where Jimo was.

When Yun Xiao told him that the place was by the sea. Liu Chengda can sit on the benefits of fishing and salt and become rich in the world. This thing almost went crazy with no fun, and took Yun Xiao around the ground twice. Then there was Cangjingkong, then there was the goshawk.

The people in the hall were almost hugged by him. Until he walked in front of the brute bull.

Ignoring this overexcited guy, Yun Xiao poured a cup of tea for Cang Jingkong. Wave everyone down. This is Cangjingkong's old habit. He didn't feel comfortable speaking in front of a third person, even if that person was his brother.

"Master Hou, you have made a big accident this time. Even if you don't exterminate this Jiangnan water bandit first, you must rescue the king of Jiangdu first. Now you have not only offended the Cheng family, but even His Majesty has complained about you. How is this good, when the old slave left Beijing, he heard that the imperial court was about to discuss the prince. There are two voices, one is Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

Wei Juan controlled the Imperial Commander's Office, and Dou Ying controlled the forbidden army. From time to time, Cheng quickly went to Hangu Pass, and heard that His Majesty also gave him a secret decree that was personally sent by Father-in-law Qiandu. ”

Cang Jingkong told the bottom of what happened in the capital in one breath. Even Liu Hui's eldest son had a stroke immediately and almost hung up.

It is only natural that Wei Juan is in charge of the Imperial Lieutenant Administration, and the Imperial Lieutenant Administration will investigate the movements of the world. Wei Juan is Liu Qi's most trusted person, and he is the most suitable person to take charge of the Imperial Governor's Office. Cheng defended Hangu from time to time, in order to guard against King Liang. Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you can't cross Hangu Pass, King Liang is to occupy Shandong in vain.

As for Dou Ying in charge of the forbidden army, this is somewhat intriguing. However, it is reasonable to think that his next position is the crown prince. After all, it is a community of interests, and it is still safe to be in charge of the forbidden army.

History has not stepped out of its inherent trajectory, presumably Liu Rong is already the crown prince of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he will receive the documents to the world in a few days.

However, Yun Xiao was still a little surprised, in terms of ability and loyalty, Zhizhi has always occupied a very important position in Liu Qi's heart. Why didn't Zhidu be used in this change, does Liu Qi have plans to abolish Liu Rong in the future now? So in this way, since Liu Qi put Zhidu in the academy, he refused to move. It proves that Liu Qi also attaches great importance to the academy, and he has been away from Chang'an for almost four months, and he doesn't know how far the academy has developed. can make Liu Qi watch secretly, proving that the old man and the old man are doing a good job.

Cang Jingkong is used to Yun Xiao's loss of mind, and generally at this time, Yun Xiao is thinking about problems, and he must not be disturbed, especially when it is related to his own fortune.

"The winner of this battle for the prince must be King Liang, and the document announcing to the world must have been sent now. It won't be long before there will be an answer, and you don't want to go back. It's hard to come to Jiangnan and have a good look. You are here to reprimand, so naturally you have to reprimand for a while to dispel the hatred in your majesty's heart. ”

Yun Xiao said to Cang Jingkong with a look of being a god, naturally the history books of the later generations have helped a lot.

"What? The eldest prince as the crown prince? Oh, my lord, if King Liang becomes the prince, I still have a way to live. If it's a different day for the crown prince, we're afraid it's ......"

Yun Xiao ignored Cang Jingkong, who looked eager, and picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea. Jiangnan has always produced good tea, and the wonderful thing is that the eunuch can actually fry tea, and she learned it from Shi Hu. Inside the black iron pot, the tender white hands dance with the tender green tea leaves. Yun Xiao's eyes were straight, isn't it popular to make tea in this era? Why did Shi Hu actually stir tea, and the method of seeing the eunuch was exactly the same as that of the tea lady in later generations.

Now Yun Xiao's teapot is the flower tea fried by the eunuch, and Yun Xiao has already found someone to touch the tea trees nearby. I'm going to take it back to Guanzhong, and then I can enjoy the fun of picking tea at home. Thinking that he was hugging the goddess and hugging Luan Ling in the tea tree, Yun Xiao naturally had a smirk on his face.

"Oh, my Hou Ye, when are you still smirking at this."

Cang Jingkong was almost so angry that he turned his back on it.

"You should know how deep your feud with the Li family is, if the crown prince ascends the throne, Li Niangniang will be the queen mother. Raiding the family and exterminating the clan is a matter in front of you, and you can still laugh. ”

Cang Jingkong was even thinking about the retreat of the Cang family, and it was better to keep a distance from the Yun family while the crown prince was not yet in the position. He believes that as the head of the family he has such a responsibility. Although this is very immoral, the survival and continuation of the family still comes first.

"Don't be busy, the mountain people have their own tricks. Don't think about this sky, that sky. There is only one heaven on your head, and your heart in your belly. The sky can't fall, and even if it does, there are tall people on top of it. ”

Seeing Cang Jingkong scurrying around like a monkey in a hurry, Yun Xiao felt the need to appease this guy. In terms of vision, there are really few people in this era who can have their own accurate judgment.

Cang Jingkong knew that he had been too deeply involved with the Yun family. Now the brothers and sons are all in Yunxiao's army. Even his daughter-in-law and grandson are in the Yun family's mansion. Now it's broken bones and tendons, and I can't tear the stack if I want to.

With 3,000 prisoners of war as coolies, the speed of repair of Yueyang City has greatly increased. Some of the houses in the city have been abandoned for more than ten years and are no longer usable. Yun Xiao began to demolish and build, anyway, there was not even a ghost in the city. There is no need to pay for demolition, and the houses that you fancy are demolished in pieces. Then the prisoners of war took mud from the lake and burned the bricks, and the roaring fire never stopped at the lake's edge.

The mountains of rice and grain on the island in the middle of the lake are now in Yunxiao's pocket, and Xiang Yong and the prisoners of war have no problem eating for two years. As for those treasures, Yun Xiao discussed with Liu Cheng that it was better to stay in the cave for the time being. Liu Cheng kept his most loyal subordinates, and Yun Xiao left Canglan behind.

It was snowing, and Yun Xiao saw the snow in Jiangnan for the first time. Thin snowflakes flutter and melt when they fall into the water. When it falls to the ground, it is covered with a thin layer, and the rain in Jiangnan is beautiful, and the snow in Jiangnan is also delicate. Thin snowflakes covered the ground and spread far away. (To be continued......)
