When Fan Jian said these words, he had been observing the changes in Huang Qiong's face. What disappoints him is that the master in front of him has no change in his expression except for a slight frown after hearing that the Fan family cannot help. Fan Jian, who had no idea what the master was thinking at this time, had no choice but to continue speaking since he had already mentioned it to such an extent.
"If it is known to the emperor that the prince has a close relationship with the Fan family and has established his own sources of information through the Fan family, it will easily arouse the emperor's suspicion. It will be very disadvantageous for both the prince and the Fan family. Under the situation that the source of the prince's information cannot be disclosed , it is undoubtedly very difficult for the prince to convince the emperor. The emperor, who is currently fighting with the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, is obviously seeking stability."
"If we ask for the transfer of people from the North and South to control the Fusi, we will re-investigate. It is estimated that it will be too late. There is no actual evidence. Judging from the emperor's current desire for stability and the current situation of the party members in the northwest, the emperor can easily I will not agree to the prince. Even if that person is just a humble official. Because the emperor, at least for now, does not want to see any trouble in the northwest. "
After Fan Jian finished speaking, Huang Qiong frowned slightly. Fan Jian didn't want others to know that when the Fan family worked for the British Prince's Palace, they were probably more concerned about the Fan family. Although there is some truth to what he said, what he was more afraid of in his heart was that he did not want the court to know that the Fan family was powerful in intelligence, even worse than the Nanbei Zhenfusi in gathering ability.
Although there was something wrong with seeing through but not telling, Huang Qiong did not get entangled in this matter. And what Huang Qiong knows better is that if he can't strike first, he will gain the upper hand. When the day comes when Tuoba Jiqian openly rebels, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to put it out. What's more, judging from the fact that the number of disaster victims from Shanxi to the northwest is increasing unabated.
Last year, the old man faced the painstaking efforts of those clans at the Wende Hall, but I am afraid that in the end, everything came to an end. Although it has started to rain in Longyou and Shaanxi 2nd Road. But it is still early to say that this severe drought has completely alleviated the disaster. Although the official records of the Second Route Government are all about singing and dancing to achieve peace. But Huang Qiong knew that these were just reports of good news and not bad news.
Right now, Longyou Road is probably still full of disaster victims. If Tuoba Jiqian chooses to rebel at this time, it will be even more difficult for those people who have been desperate for a long time to calm down once a chain reaction is caused. If a large number of innocent people are brought in, I am afraid that many innocent people will die in this chaos, and Longyou may not be able to recover for decades.
The peasant armies of past dynasties often numbered in the hundreds of thousands. In fact, how could there be so many people to follow them to rebel? Most of them are just ordinary people who were brought in. But even if they are just creating momentum, those rebels can still coerce people in large numbers. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong shuddered. He is familiar with history books and is very aware of the threats posed by disaster victims once they are brought in.
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong looked at Fan Jian and said: "Brother Fan, you know the things about Longyou best. If Tuoba Jiqian chooses this time to commit rebellion, what will it mean to the entire Longyou, and what will happen to it? You also know what kind of harm will come. If this person commits trouble at other times, I may not be able to control it. But at this time, Longyou must not be in trouble."
"As for the reason, I think you are also clear about it. You are right. My father is now focusing all his energy on fighting with the Guilin County Prince's Palace, and is blindly seeking stability in other matters. If this person is just a Ordinary officials don't matter, but this person is a hereditary official from the Party. Even if he is just a deputy envoy to Tibet, he must consider the feelings of other Party departments."
"Without being able to produce substantive evidence, it may be difficult to convince my father to take action now. What's more, this person is now at the point where he has no choice but to take action. I can't afford that time, and the court can't We can’t afford it. If the Fan family takes action and kills the two brothers Tuoba Jiqian and Tuoba Jichong for me, what do I need to do, or how much price does the court need to pay?"
Huang Qiong hoped that the Fan family would take action, which made Fan Jian slightly stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you really think highly of the Fan family. In this matter, the Fan family will never take action. Even It can be said that being able to monitor the movements of the Tuoba tribe for the prince is the best that the Fan family can do. No matter how much more, the ancestors will never agree. Your prince, the Fan family is just a businessman."
"If the Fan family really takes action in this matter, I am afraid that the Fan family will not be able to gain a foothold in the northwest in the future. As a result, the Guilin County Prince's Palace controls the sea rights. At present, the Silk Road in the northwest is almost the only external channel that the Fan family can control. At the moment, it is unacceptable to the Fan family no matter what, and it is even more unbearable. My lord, Longyou is not just a Pingxia tribe."
"If a few years ago, Tuoba Jiqian had not grown so big, as long as the court gave enough benefits, the family ancestor might consider taking action. But now, Tuoba Jiqian, through large-scale marriages, has spread throughout the Lingzhou party. There has been a trend of harmony among the various tribes. Through various operations, he has secretly sidelined his clan brother and has almost become the de facto leader of the Pingxia tribe."
"If the Fan family takes action on behalf of the imperial court at this time, I am afraid that they will not only face the Pingxia tribe, but may even become the mortal enemy of the entire Longyou Dangxiang tribe. Although the Dangxiang tribes at the moment are far from being comparable to those of the Dingnan Army. However, after decades of reproduction and reproduction, the vitality has been restored slightly. In addition, the laws and regulations of the court have been weakened, and the constraints on the party ministries are far less than at the beginning of the founding of the country."
"To say that today's northwest party tribes pose a threat to the imperial court is an exaggeration. But if they are isolated in a corner, they still have the strength to control the northwest. The Fan family seems to be based in Xiangyang, but in fact its lifeline is in Xiangyang. Northwest. The Fan family has been able to remain standing for so many years by mastering the Silk Road, and neutrality is the way for the Fan family to survive in the northwest."
"Your Majesty, in this situation, it is simply impossible for you to ask the Fan family to take action for you. Even if you put the knife on the ancestor's neck, the ancestor will not agree. The sword is still the same. , being able to collect news from all directions in the northwest for the prince, and monitor the movements of the party ministries for the prince, is the best that the Fan family can do. If there are any more, I'm afraid there will be chaos within the Fan family."
At this point, after looking at Huang Qiong's downcast expression, Fan Jian hesitated for a moment and then said: "For the prince, the first plan is to convince the emperor as soon as possible to allow you to use the troops of the North and South Suppression Division. In addition, Second, the prince can take roundabout measures. Although the emperor still has a firm grip on the staff, for officials below the fourth rank, the emperor has gradually begun to let go of the prince."
"Lingzhou is a scattered state that belongs to Ningxia Prefecture, and the real power of the entire Ningxia Prefecture is in the hands of the prefect. Although Ningxia Prefecture also has Tongzhi and Tongpan, a Tongzhi who is also the food and salary of the border army is stationed at the frontier army station of Ningxia Prefecture. In Huaiyuan Prefecture, a person has the power to judge Tibetan and Han affairs, and the yamen is located in Guyuan, but it is not stationed in the same place as the prefect."
"As for replacing a Ningxia prefect, the prince still has this right. The prince can change the Ningxia prefect and select a suitable person to take over. According to the custom, when the new prefect takes office, all Ningxia officials, regardless of whether they are Han or Han, go to visit. You can take advantage of this When the time comes, take this person down or hand him over to the capital, or kill him on the spot. But the prince must do this quickly."
"Judging from the news from the Fan family, the reason why he did not rebel immediately now is probably because he is waiting for the drought to ease slightly and the grass to gradually turn green for the war horses to eat. It has already rained in the northwest, and the drought has been partially alleviated. If you move slowly, it is very likely that this person will take the lead. By then, it will be too late for the prince to do anything."
"In addition, the new Ningxia magistrate must be bold and careful. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be forced to rebel against this person in advance. According to the Fan family's observation of this person, this person is not only delicate but also cunning. Be bold, and the most important thing is to be extremely vigilant. If the person sent is slightly careless, not only will the success fall short, but this guy may even be able to start in advance."
Regarding Fan Jian's idea, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and had to say that this was the best way at the moment. Instead of trying so hard to convince the old man, it would be better to draw out the fire under the cauldron. Although he was dissatisfied with the Fan family's attitude, Huang Qiong also knew that Fan Jian was right. The Fan family's foundation is in Xiangyang, but its lifeline is in Longyou. And Longyou's party items are not limited to Pingxia.
If the Fan family really agrees to this matter, I am afraid that the price that I or the court will have to pay for this matter may not be what I want to pay. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong nodded slightly. But the next choice for the new Ningxia magistrate gave Huang Qiong a headache. With the limited number of people in my hands, I pulled them here and there, but no one was suitable.
Jian Yong is a thick-skinned guy and he does have abilities. But let's not mention that he has just been transferred to Shanxi Road Transfer Envoy and Jinyang Prefecture. The key is that this guy's hands are not ruthless enough to do this kind of thing. As for Su Jin, Huang Qiong never thought about this guy. For a pure scholar like him to do this kind of thing, there is no need to think about what this guy will do.
As for the few people recommended by Jia Quan, although they are all talented enough, they all have other problems. Either he is not thick-skinned enough, or his methods are not ruthless enough, or he is just too bookish. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help stroking his forehead and having a headache: "There are still too few talents available in my hands. Especially there are almost no people who can do this kind of thing."
Looking at Huang Qiong's face, Fan Jian pondered for a moment. Although he hesitated, he finally said: "Your Majesty, Jian recommends someone. Your Majesty, do you still remember your predecessor Jingzhao Yin Zhang Qian? It was because of Liu Hu that he publicly broke up with the prince and was demoted to Yongzhou as a general judge. That predecessor, Jing Zhaoyin. Although this person is a bit greedy, he is not only bold and careful, but also has great adaptability."
"If he can be appointed as the new magistrate of Ningxia, this matter will probably be nothing to him. It's just that this person was originally a die-hard prince, and although he is extremely capable, he may not be loyal to the prince. Although this person is the best person to do this, it is a double-edged sword. If you use it incorrectly, it will hurt yourself. It depends on the prince, how to subdue this person. "
Huang Qiong couldn't help but be stunned by the candidate recommended by Fan Jian. I carefully recalled the experience of fighting this person last year. Even though he was his opponent at the time, Huang Qiong still had to admit that this guy was indeed a talent. Bold, clever, careful and quick to respond. From this point alone, if he is sent to do this, he is indeed the best choice.
But this person was too greedy. When he was serving as Jing Zhaoyin, he dared to scratch the ground under the emperor's nose. At present, Longyou has just suffered a severe drought. If he is sent to be the prefect of Ningxia, I am afraid that this guy will cause the government to force the people to rebel. Besides, this person is very loyal to the prince and is a die-hard member of the prince's group. Even if he transferred him back from Guangnan West Road, he would restore his status as a fourth-grade prefect.
