Chapter 13 Retreat as Advance

Liu looked at Qiu Ge coldly, Qiu Ge smiled, his heart was full of doubts and puzzles, and the two of them were at a stalemate. After a while, Liu Han saw that Qiu Ge still didn't understand, and shook his head slightly in his heart, this Qiu Ge's understanding was still a little worse.

"Second Prince Qiu, you are a high-grade scholar, what happened, naturally someone will protect your Qiu family, the general's merits are world-famous, even if the imperial court wants to deal with it, it will consider its merits, but my Hanhai Trading Company is different, who will protect me at that time? Moreover, the Tuoba tribe buys grain, and my Hanhai Trading Company sends grain, what does it have to do with the general, at most it will be a responsibility for negligence, but hundreds of heads of my Hanhai Trading Company will have to land. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Han sighed heavily: "I was afraid of this at the beginning, so I designed a layer of protection, but now it seems that this layer of protection only protects the general, but my Hanhai Trading Company has fallen into the pit." ”

"How can you say this!" Qiu Ge was extremely surprised, and Liu Han asked sharply: "Isn't it obvious? If the imperial court investigates, the general will hide from the matter, otherwise, the general will take the credit alone." ”

"Brother Liu is too worried!" Qiu Ge was very helpless, and explained repeatedly: "Alas, don't worry, if something happens, my father will not let you be responsible." ”

"Your words are too thin," Liu Han didn't believe it at all, and sighed: "It would have been good to let General Qiu and Duanmu Zheng make a note, brother, today, you have to tell me the truth, otherwise, I can only pass the book to Gu Zang, stop first to see the changes in the court situation." ”

"Never!" Qiu Ge was a little anxious and hurriedly dissuaded, Liu Han looked bitter, Qiu Ge sighed: "What does Brother Liu know?"

"Does the emperor know the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?" Liu Han asked directly, Qiu Ge nodded hesitantly, and Liu Han asked again: "Does the prince approve of this strategy?"

Qiu Ge hesitated and looked up at Liu Han, Liu Han's eyes were stern and worried, Qiu Ge opened his mouth, and finally told the truth, he sighed softly: "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?" Liu Han asked with some surprise, Qiu Ge nodded: "When the father saw the driver, he explained in detail to the emperor the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and the emperor did not object, as for the prince, the father has not seen the prince yet." ”

"Why?" Liu Han suddenly had a sense of conspiracy, this is not normal!

Qiu Ge sighed: "The last time my father saw him, the emperor made it clear that his father would not return to Liangzhou again, and let his father wait at home." ”

Liu Han frowned, it's worth it today, these things leaked by Qiu Ge are nothing to ordinary people, and even nothing to him, but they are too important to King Qin, if nothing else, just say that this strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is known to the emperor, but the prince does not know, which is worth playing.

Just now he said that the situation was very serious, but in fact, for the Hanhai Trading Company, it was not so serious, the most important point, they only sent grain, the Tuoba tribe spent real money to buy grain, and the Tuoba tribe itself went to the Liangzhou Mansion and the customs clearance document opened by the general, all the formalities are complete, what reason does the Hanhai Trading Company have not to accept this business?

"Courtier impeachment, what does the prince mean?"

The prince asked his father to defend himself. Qiu Ge said, for this point, he was also a little puzzled, according to what Qiu Yun said last time, the emperor was inspecting the prince, but such a big thing, why didn't the emperor tell the prince?

"The general defends himself?" Liu Han still frowned, Qiu Ge nodded, and he took the opportunity to ask again: "What is the result? What does the prince mean?"

Qiu Ge spread his hands: "I don't know." ”

Liu Han was stunned, he was also a little confused, Qiu Yun wrote to defend himself, according to the way the Great Jin Dynasty dealt with this kind of thing, the prince wanted to fold Qiu Yun's self-defense to the courtiers, let the ministers discuss, any opinions can be written, after the prince inducted, if it is approved, then the invention will be invented, indicating that the matter has been dealt with by the imperial court, and the minister should not be impeached again, if it is not recognized, the will must also be invented, and let the court lieutenant intervene in the investigation, which is the prelude to imprisonment.

But now the prince hasn't done anything, and after he folded his defense, he didn't send the ministers to discuss, just consumed like this, what kind of rhythm is this?

Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy in this!

But this conspiracy is not aimed at him, and the prince doesn't need to use these thoughts about this little person like him, this is aimed at Qiuyun.

The two of them were relatively silent, and in the face of this confusing situation, they both had the feeling of not knowing how to start, in comparison, Qiu Ge was slightly better, after all, there was Qiu Yun, but Liu Han knew that he was in big trouble.

The situation is chaotic, and for a small person like him, it is easy to fall into it, and if he is not careful, he will be shattered.

How do you pull yourself out?

Liu Han was thinking quickly, but soon, he understood that he couldn't pull out this quagmire with his own strength, and he would only be safe if Qiuyun was safe.

"Did Duanmu come up in Liangzhou?" asked Liu Han.

Qiu Ge shook his head, and Liu Han asked again, "What about Shang Shutai's opinion?"

Qiu Ge shook his head again: "I don't know!"

Liu Han laughed angrily: "You should have inquired about some news, just sit here and wait stupidly! I have never seen you like this!"

Qiu Ge sighed: "I asked my father, and he meant that it should not change. ”

"Unchanged should be changed?" Liu Han frowned slightly, and he shook his head lightly: "I think that Duanmu should be allowed to go to the Dao, indicating that this strategy is beneficial to Liangzhou." ”

"The matter of the court, Duanmu is afraid that he has already heard about it, if he wanted to go up, he would have been on it a long time ago, and now he has not been on it, I am afraid he will not be on it. Qiuge said.

From the current situation to the present, Qiuyun is in the center of the whirlpool, but Qiuyun is not moving, according to Qiu Ge's guess, the last time he saw the driver, the emperor made a promise to Qiuyun, but did the emperor's promise work?

Since ancient times, the emperor has been accompanied by a tiger like a tiger, and the emperor's promise has not been seen in the palace newspaper, and he has not publicly declared it, and he will regret it if he wants to.

Liu Han was even more frustrated, why didn't Duanmu Zheng move? He was able to sit on the current throne, it was completely the work of Qiu Yun's support, and now that Qiu Yun was in a difficult situation, he should say whatever he said.

Liu Han couldn't guess it, he didn't know much about Duanmuzheng, and he now faintly regretted that he should stay for a while when he was in Guzang and learn more about this Duanmuzheng.

"Brother Liu, in fact, you don't have to worry, if my father is fine, you will be fine. Qiu Ge carefully reminded Liu Han that they were tied together, as long as everyone kept Qiuyun together, they would also protect Hanhai Trading Company.

Liu Han smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that you still need to teach this truth, but how can you keep Qiuyun?

"Brother Liu, it's not a secret, what my father is most worried about is not in the imperial capital, but in Liangzhou," Qiu Ge said in a low voice, Liu Han was very surprised, his vest broke out in a cold sweat, Qiu Yun was worried about Liangzhou??? why was he worried about Liangzhou? Could it be that Duanmu Zheng would be bad behind his back?

"Why?" Liu Han blurted out.

Qiu Ge sighed: "For the impeachment of the ministers of the DPRK and China, my father has a way to protect himself, but the problem is in Liangzhou, if the food cannot be sent to the Tuoba tribe, the Tuoba tribe cannot go north, in order to solve the crisis of food shortage in the tribe, he can only go south and invade Liangzhou, so that the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf will fail,......"

Liu Han understood, the imperial court would in turn pursue it, and Qiuyun would not be able to escape the suspicion of sending grain to the enemy, so there could be no mistakes on the Liangzhou side, and the grain must be delivered to the Tuoba tribe on time.

"General Qiu left Duanmu Zheng in charge of Liangzhou, can't Duanmu Zheng guarantee the success of the plan?" Liu Han asked rhetorically.

Qiu Ge smiled bitterly and sighed: "Duanmu Zheng's foundation is too shallow, he is actually not the most suitable candidate, but his father can only choose him at that time." ”

Liu Han somewhat understood, Qiuyun was not at ease with Duanmuzheng, but he couldn't find a more suitable candidate at that time, so he had to use him.

This is a mess, Liu Han smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, second son, if there is something, it is definitely not my Hanhai Trading Company that has an accident, listening to you say this, I am worried that Liangzhou is coming, if Duanmuzheng can't ensure food security, I can't think of any way for us to avoid danger." ”

Qiu Ge couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, when Qiu Yun asked him to come to Liu Han, he didn't think much about it, but after communicating with Liu Han, he found that the most probable and most difficult place to prevent was actually Liangzhou.

"Brother Ling is in Liangzhou, can you let him play a role?" Liu Han asked tentatively, Qiu Ge shook his head with a wry smile: "My brother is stationed in Xiaoguan, you know this place in Xiaoguan, hey......"

Xiao Pass, the last pass in the Western Regions, is nearly a thousand miles away from Guzang, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to be stationed here to influence Guzang.

Qiu Ge now understands why his father put his brother here, and put it here, not so much to deal with the invasion of the Xianbei people, but to facilitate his brother's escape, out of Xiaoguan is the desert, and the court can no longer catch him.

"Xiao Guan rode in the dark, and he was all protected by Yan Ran. "Liu Han is extremely bitter, and now he can do very little, unless, use the power of King Qin, but will King Qin intercede for Qiuyun?

Liu Han suddenly remembered Lao Huang's analysis of the current court situation, the most important thing in the current court situation is to ensure the smooth transition of power, and the power should be smoothly transferred to the crown prince, and anything that blocks this point will be resolutely eradicated by the emperor.

The crown prince's succession is a foregone conclusion, so what else threatens the prince's position? Is the King of Qi counted as one, and the King of Qin counted as one?

The border general colluded with the clan courtiers, the source of trouble.

In this way, King Qin can't move, if he moves, not only will he not be able to solve the misfortune of Qiuyun, but it will become a fatal knife.

But why did the emperor and the crown prince allow the ministers to impeach Qiuyun? Are they fishing for this, or are they waiting for Qiuyun to say?

Liu Han felt that it was the latter, but how could Qiu Yun express it in order to gain the trust of the crown prince?

"Brother, I have thought of a move," Liu Han said tentatively, Qiu Ge showed interest, Liu Han considered the wording: "To retreat as advance, the general can write to the court and ask Zhishi to return to his hometown." ”

"Zhishi is returning to his hometown?" Qiu Ge hesitated: "It's not that I'm hypocritical, if I can do it, it's good"

Hearing this, Liu Han couldn't help but shake his head, Qiu Ge quickly stopped when he saw this, Liu Han said: "This is a temptation, the general wrote to tell the emperor and the crown prince that the strategy he proposed to drive the tiger and devour the wolf was not considered, and this deficiency was mainly caused by his old age and infirmity, and his lack of thoughtfulness was definitely caused by the emperor and the prince, for the sake of his years of hard work for the country, he was allowed to return to his hometown." ”

Qiu Ge now understood, Qiu Yun's play was sparse, the crown prince had to give an explanation, if it was to stay, then he had to admit that the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf was correct, on the contrary, Qiu Yun did no harm, and by the way, the matter of sending food was stopped. Whatever the outcome, Qiuyun was out of the whirlpool.
