Then Qin Ge felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous. With Liu Hong's weak body, in such extreme weather, let alone the secret inspection by the police, he would have died long ago even if he got here.
Qin Ge pondered for a moment, then asked Xu Tu to lead him quickly towards the mansion.
Kinderman looked at the flying snow in the sky and said thoughtfully: "You also said that you want to have a stable New Year. My husband can't stop for a moment!"
Qin Ge's residence is located in an ordinary residence next to the Qin family ancestral hall. It is a three-story courtyard building. In addition to Qin Ge, Dian Wei, Gao Shun and others also live there.
People like Guan Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and others who do not have real estate temporarily will stay here temporarily when they come to Qilin City for business.
Qin Ge came to the living room and saw Dian Wei guarding the door vigilantly, looking into the room with a solemn expression.
At this time, in front of the nave, stood a majestic figure with his hands behind his back. He was covered in black robes. His back was facing the door, and he was looking at a portrait of the seventy-two sages of Confucius on the nave in trance.
This was painted by Zheng Xuan himself when the college started and dedicated to Qin Ge. Kinderman hung it in the living room.
"Champion! It's been a long time since I last saw you. Compared to you before, you are completely different!" The visitor's voice was low and hoarse, and he turned around and lifted up the hood that covered his face.
Seeing the person coming, Qin Ge's eyes widened in disbelief, but he quickly calmed down, clasped his fists and said, "Master Marquis has come a long way, and Qin was disappointed to meet you from afar. Please forgive me!"
The person who came turned out to be Jian Shuo, one of the ten regular servants of the emperor!
Qin Ge handed the Nine Dragons Royal Order to Jian Shuo with both hands.
Jian Shuo accepted the imperial order from Jiulong, straightened his voice and said: "The Holy Spirit's Oral Order!"
Qin Ge hurriedly knelt down and worshiped: "My lord! Respectfully greet me!"
Jian Shuo said with a solemn expression: "Honor, Holy Gong!" After saying that, he helped Qin Ge up from the ground and said: "Your Majesty said it! This oral edict has not been discussed by the inner and outer dynasties, has no effect from the emperor, and does not have any government decree. Efficacy! Just because you are the tiger under the imperial command that he personally conferred, you may or may not obey this oral instruction!"
Jian Shuo's tone was calm, but there was no expression in his eyes, instead there was a kind of coldness and indifference.
Qin Ge is no longer the political novice he was back then, and his mind begins to spin rapidly about the situation in Luoyang and Liu Hong's situation.
Qin Ge went from being a powerful man in Mount Tai to becoming a champion prince and governor of Qingzhou in a short period of time. Even though Qin Ge rose through the ranks with his merits, Liu Hong's kindness to Qin Ge was well known to the world.
Now Qin Ge can be famous in the Han Dynasty, his character is loyal, courageous, benevolent and righteous, and Qin Ge's reputation and authority can completely collapse with Liu Hong's words.
Qin Ge now has great righteousness in the world and enjoys all the conveniences that great righteousness brings to him, but he does not dare to offend the Han Emperor. Once his reputation is ruined, everything Qin Ge has gained is likely to lose its legitimacy and disappear.
Now Liu Hong's time is approaching. He has been checking and balancing his whole life. He can still catch Qin Ge before he dies.
Qin Ge knelt on the ground again and kowtowed: "Back then, I was deeply trapped in Luoyang and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Your Majesty not only gave me the Seven Treasures of Confucianism and Taoism, but also promoted me all the way. Now everything I have is a gift from Your Majesty. Your Majesty has given me the best of everything." The kindness of knowing and encountering can never be repaid by death, but if someone drives you, you will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Qin Ge is a person who must repay kindness. Although Liu Hong is a foolish king, to be honest, Qin Ge did have a great favor to Qin Ge when he met him several times. If Liu Hong hadn't given him the gift of cultivating scriptures in the court that day, Qin Ge would have The grass on the grave has long grown three feet, and Qin Ge cannot refuse it because of the morality of the monarch and his ministers.
When Jian Shuo heard Qin Ge mention what happened back then, he felt hot towards Liu Hong.
That was just a stop-gap measure for Liu Hong to buy Zhu Jun's favor and avoid the entanglement of Confucian scholars. As for his rise in the Qin-Ge War, it was the result of compromise between all parties. To be honest, Liu Hong was just following the trend. .
However, upon hearing Qin Ge's words, Jian Shuo's eyes flashed with emotion. He helped Qin Ge up and said, "General Qin is indeed loyal and courageous, and an unparalleled soldier! Your Majesty hopes that you will lead your army to Luoyang immediately to protect King Qin!"
Qin Ge's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, his tongue was tangled and he said: "Master Hou? Has something happened in Luoyang? Not to mention that the foreign ministers need the Han Tiger Talisman to mobilize the army to the capital. The battle between the general and the Liangshan bandits has now become fierce. If If we withdraw from the battlefield, the Qingzhou war situation will collapse in an instant, half of the Han Dynasty will be implicated in the banditry, hundreds of millions of people will be affected by the banditry, and the Han Dynasty may be in danger of overthrowing the nest!"
Qin Ge really couldn't accept this inexplicable and crazy proposal.
Jian Shuo held Qin Ge's hand and said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the Han Dynasty. He values Liu's legacy more than anyone else in the world. How could he make such a decision that would destroy the legacy of our ancestors! I tell you the truth, your Majesty's body If you can't hold on any longer, you may die within a year. His Majesty hopes that you can lead the Changshui Camp and the most elite expeditionary force knights and Mingyu Youqi with 100,000 cavalry to the capital to escort you! As the general of the expedition, you will follow the instructions of the Han army. Lu, you can carry 100,000 soldiers to fight! You can mobilize them freely without the need for military orders and tiger talismans!" Jian Shuo said with a sad voice at the end.
Qin Ge's expression was shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Liu Hong actually knew about the Expeditionary Army Knights and Mingyu Youqi under his command. Changshui Camp was originally the Royal Forest Army of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army.
And as Jian Shuo said, as the governor of Qingzhou and the general who conquered the captives, he had the authority to lead 100,000 soldiers. He could lead the soldiers to and from any territory in the Han Dynasty without the need for orders from the imperial court.
Seeing Qin Ge's expression of embarrassment, Jian Shuo took out a pearl the size of a basketball from his arms and said: "This is the spiritual energy that Jingzhou, the most prosperous city in the world, pays tribute to the imperial court for one year. If General Qin is willing to lead his army to Beijing, your Majesty is willing to give it to you." This reward is given to you to help Qingzhou build a strong force and fill the vacancy of two elite cavalry who will be transferred to Kyoto!"
Qin Ge looked at the pearl in front of him. It contains 30% of Jingzhou's annual spiritual energy income. It can be transferred to 200,000 Dongyue Lin soldiers or 600,000 county soldiers. It can indeed make up for the loss left by the two cavalrymen to a large extent. vacancies!
Qin Ge took a deep breath and said: "I will gather as many troops as possible to serve the emperor, but I have to discuss this matter with my subordinates. I will give the Marquis a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!"
Jian Shuo quickly shook his head and said: "General Qin can send troops at this time because he is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. Your Majesty also hopes that this matter can be balanced. He must not destabilize the foundation of the Han Dynasty for his own selfish desires. After all, the world is already chaotic enough!"
Qin Ge turned back to Xu Tu and said, "Take Marquis Jian to the post house to entertain him!"
Jian Shuo waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry too much, champion. Our family grew up in the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. We also joined the army. We are not as delicate as you think. So be it! I will eat with your soldiers." Just live together!”
Qin Ge looked at Jian Shuo in surprise. He learned from Sun Jian that day that this man had reached the peak of his cultivation.
Jian Shuo is the most special eunuch Qin Ge has ever seen. Qin Ge can't feel a trace of sinisterness or filthiness in him, but he is very similar to Zheng He.
However, Jian Shuo is more like a fierce general who charges into battle. He has a strong military style and an aboveboard style of conduct. It is difficult for Qin Ge to associate him with the eunuchs and the devil.
Seeing Qin Ge's hesitation, Jian Shuo urged impatiently: "National affairs are important! Why is the champion Hou like those common people who are afraid of the Shichang servants causing mischief behind his back? On the contrary, our family looks down upon him!"
After Qin Ge arranged a few words with Xu Tu, he asked him to take Jian Shuo to the guest room to properly entertain him, and then left the living room.
Jian Shuo looked at Qin Ge's back and sighed: "If your Majesty could have more heroes like him to serve you, why would you do this?"
In the meeting hall of Qin Ge's mansion, Qin Ge sat in the main seat with a solemn expression.
Kinderman and Wei Sanniang sat next to him respectively. Kinderman's eyes were gleaming and he was deep in thought.
Wei Sanniang looked at Qin Ge full of worry and sadness.
Jinmaohu sat aside with an expressionless face, adjusting the remote video dialogue projection screen, and the dialogue system had begun to connect to various counties.
Zang Hong and Qin Jilian were seated in Jinan County Fenglie's remote video system; Zhao Yun and Qin Jizong were seated in Fengyunhu's video system; Manchong and Zheng He were seated in Le'an County's Yehuang and Husha's video systems ; Guan Zhong and Xu Shu of Thunder Tiger of Qiguo County were seated; Yu Jin, Tian Feng and Yingzhao of Ahu were seated; Lei Bao, Beast Blood Boiling and Guihai of Dongguan County were seated respectively with Heijia Chang Zhi, Liao Hua and Qin Jili!
Jinmaohu adjusted the conversation video and signaled to Qin Ge that it was time to start. Qin Ge adjusted his mood and told him about the emperor summoning him to the capital. When Zhao Yun and Black Teeth mentioned the Expeditionary Army Knights and Mingyu Youqi, Chang Zhi's expression was obviously different.
"Everyone, please share your opinions! This matter is related to the safety of all counties in Qingzhou! I can't make up my mind at the moment. Let's discuss it and see if we can come up with a perfect plan!" Qin Ge looked at the different opinions of everyone in the video He said calmly.
For a moment, the entire venue fell into a strange atmosphere, and everyone fell into silence.
Qin Ge saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull and smiled and said: "Brothers who have worked with me for a long time know that I like to solicit everyone's opinions to make conclusions. Whether it is objection or agreement, everyone can speak freely!"
Zang Hongxin was the first to stand up and said: "Since no one is talking about it, I will give you some advice! The emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse, and now there are undercurrents of various forces in the capital. The general leads the way with his military power, but the Han Dynasty clan The relatives, the eunuchs, and the nobles are all sharpening their knives, hoping to use this change of emperor to control the artifact of the court! At this time, the world is gathering in Luoyang, and the lord is just a powerful man who has risen through military exploits. He is like a rootless duckweed in Luoyang. If you get involved in this political struggle, you may be doomed! My lord is now the pillar of the Han Dynasty in the east. Once you collapse, the banditry in Qingzhou will rise, and no one will be able to stop it, and half of the Han Dynasty will fall into banditry. , hundreds of millions of people will suffer misfortune! The so-called generals will not accept the emperor's orders. The emperor has been ignorant and debauched for decades, and the important officials in the court are all selfish and selfish rats. The Han Dynasty court has been rotten for a long time. My lord, Don’t disregard all the people in the world just for the sake of stupidity and loyalty!”
Zang Hong had a hot temper. He was born into a noble family. His father Zang Min was an official and became a prefect. Zang Hong became famous at a young age and was promoted as Xiaolian by the state government. Because of his outstanding talent and learning, he became a Langguan and entered the Confucian and Taoist Academy to study Confucian classics.
However, unlike the drunken and sensual sons of the gentry in Luoyang, Zang Hong had the world in his heart and had the ambition to help the world if he could achieve great things. In addition, he was an upright and violent person. He wrote to the court several times to criticize the current shortcomings, which offended his relatives, gentry and eunuchs.
If Zhu, Huangfu, and Lu had not protected each other, he would have been imprisoned long ago. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the prefect of Guangling County in Xuzhou was killed by the Yellow Turban bandits. Because Zang Honghao was famous for his bravery in Xuzhou, he was recommended as the prefect of Guangling.
Zang Hong made great contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising and was as famous as Chen Deng among the Xuzhou gentry. However, compared with Chen Deng's smooth conduct, Zang Hong, a straight man, was not well received. He always opposed Tao Qian, and even used It was only after drinking so much that he ended up like this.
