"Uncle Xue, are you telling the truth?"
Yue Yun had just met with Wang De, Zhang Jun's subordinate, and it was from Wang De that he learned about the emperor's taking away Liu Guangshi's surname.
Among the people in their Western Army, Liu Guangshi had the highest background... Although after the Jingkang disaster, all the names of the northwest families had disappeared.
But after all, the background is there, such as Han Shizhong and Wang De. These people either followed Liu Yanqing or came from Liu Guangshi.
It is no exaggeration to describe these relationships as being inextricably linked, but the emperor punished Liu Guangshi like this...
Don't blame Yue Yun for thinking too much, this is such a special time now, and any behavior of the emperor may have profound meaning.
After sending Wang De away, the news Xue Bi brought back shocked him even more.
Today, the emperor summoned several ministers to the palace, and everyone in Lin'an City knew about it.
To be honest, I might have summoned him like this on weekdays, but if it was done with such great fanfare, then it could only be an urgent summons from the emperor.
Didn’t this battle stop?
Is there anything greater than fighting against the Jin people?
So Xue Bi went out to find out the news.
He was in the Yue Family Army, but he had old friendships with Qin Hui and many others, so he could still exchange a few words with each other in Lin'an City.
Unexpectedly, he turned back and said four words to Yue Yun after less than a cup of tea.
"The Qin Mansion is surrounded."
Even though they were just surrounded, they didn't know the inside story.
But just judging from the emperor’s actions...
Xue Bi gently shook the folding fan:
"I saw with my own eyes that the imperial guards in the palace sent Qin Hui back to the mansion, and I also saw with my own eyes that there were no less than a hundred of them, and they surrounded the Qin mansion."
"Judging from the appearance, it seems that someone from the Palace Front Office is doing this job."
In any case, this is good news for Yue Yun.
He said with some excitement:
"It seems that what Yang Shishu and Xin Shibo said is true. The officials are really interested in the Northern Expedition!"
"The fact that we surrounded Qin Hui's house today is the best proof!"
Xue Bi was mature after all. Although he was also very happy, he still poured some cold water on Yue Yun:
"There are still some doubts in this. If the officials really want to move Qin Hui, they must first move to the Central Publishing House. But in the past few days, where have you and I heard any other news?"
"If he wants to withdraw Qin Huizhi so directly..." Xue Bi shook his head, "The emperor is not such a naive person."
"Besides, it's not like Qin Hui has never been dismissed as prime minister. Why doesn't he still sit high in the court?"
"In this case, the young general should be less slack and must not forget the purpose of this trip."
Yue Yun said seriously: "Of course my nephew remembers...Uncle Xue, that..."
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Xue Bi said: "Xin Ciying was a Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe. His origins are quite innocent. He is indeed a man who takes the lead in battle."
"But..." Xue Bi paused, "But he is not a simple scholar."
"Yes," Yue Yun agreed, "Xin Shibo's knowledge is no less than that of the commander of an army."
Xue Bi glanced at Yue Yun with some surprise... He knew what kind of temper this young and successful young general had.
If it weren't for Yue Fei's pressure, he would appear extremely humble, but deep down, he is a person who thinks very highly of himself.
Not to mention that there are not many people in the Yue family army whom he respects, even handsome men like Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong are like that in his heart.
Now, he not only entrusted himself to inquire about a living person, but also made such a high evaluation of that person...
Xue Bi was confused. Xin Ciying was indeed powerful, but was he really that powerful?
"When Lu Yihao was prime minister, there was a bandit riot in Pucheng, so he asked this man to deal with it. When he arrived, the city was already broken, so he sat on the rubble and shouted loudly, calming down the chaotic army and people. Later, Marshal Han defeated the enemy. The bandits knew that he was a scholar, so they tried to break through from him, but he drove them into the water with arrows... In the end, the five bandit leaders were all captured alive by him."
"What a courage!"
Yue Yun couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration. He was a Jinshi, but also had such martial arts. Master Xin was indeed not bad.
"More than that... He scolded Qin Hui a little too harshly, and Qin Hui transferred him to Changsha to quell the chaos, but in the end no one was assigned to him."
"Then..." Yue Yun was curious, "How did he do it?"
"Go to Chaling on a bicycle, capture the thieves and kill them, and collect the thieves."
Yue Yun "..."
I just thought that the person who lived in the living room was someone who was familiar with military art, but I didn't expect that he was someone like Chen Tang, Wang Xuance.
"Besides these, there is nothing else to say. This man is indeed a great man. Now the Holy Family is in full swing. He also killed the slaves of the Qin Mansion in the street. There is no room for relaxation with Qin Hui... Major General Be a good person to win over."
"That's right," Yue Yung was about to respond when he heard Xue Bi say: "He and Marshal Han don't get along well."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Everyone has the same goal and the same enemies, so how can we not deal with them?
"When he was the censor, the second son of Marshal Han was recruited into the Zhimi Pavilion by Yin. He scolded him, saying that Marshal Han was fighting outside. What did it have to do with his son? If this opening was opened, what would happen next? All of them were able to become officials... The officials listened to his words and rejected the matter."
"You really need to remember it, so as not to offend Han Shibo."
Yue Yun thought for a while and then said: "In this case, Xin Shibo's gift should be thicker."
This time they entered Lin'an, in addition to looking for people, they also had another purpose, and that was to give gifts.
Everyone said that Yue Fei didn't know how to communicate, but in an environment like the Song Dynasty, he was forced to come out.
When the gift arrives, you won't be afraid that someone will renege on your promise.
Xue Bi agreed. In any case, Xin Ciying was promoted by the emperor after killing people in the Qin Dynasty. This was worth it.
…
Liu Bang looked at Xin Ciying with doubt on his face.
"You kid, didn't you lie to me?"
Mr. Xin bowed and said, "When an official asks a question, and I answer it truthfully, how can I dare to lie to you?"
"I will naturally go and seek verification!"
No wonder Liu Bang didn't believe it, it's just that when Xin Ciying talked about what he had done in the past, it was really hard to believe.
Xin Ciying didn't think it was anything, but the emperor suddenly asked about his past, which surprised him.
But knowing the emperor's memory, he didn't particularly care.
"Guan Jia, that's what you're asking?"
Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder: "Isn't this because I want to get to know you? I want to see if you are a ghost in human skin."
"The official family..."
Really good at describing it.
"Xin Ciying, I believe you."
Lord Xin suddenly raised his head and looked at his emperor.
For those who are ministers, this sentence seems to be enough.
Xin Ciying thought so.
"Next, you should do a few things for me."
"Please give your Majesty's orders."
