When the messenger delivered this urgent letter to the capital of Jiankang, it was already ten days later.
This was the fastest speed that the messenger could achieve. He traveled non-stop all the way, wading through mountains and rivers, and even crossing a river, just to deliver this urgent information to the court as quickly as possible.
Or in other words, sent to Qian Jin's home.
Of course, Qian Jin was not stupid enough to take on such an important matter, not to mention that he was far away in Yizhou and could not even talk to the court - so after thinking about it, Qian Jin simply wrote two documents, One was naturally a memorial stating the current situation, but the other was specially sent to his family for his father to decide whether to take out the memorial.
After all, strictly speaking, his father's judgment may be more accurate than his.
Qian Jin's father is named Qian Yu, and he is the long history of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he is not really high and powerful, he has been in the officialdom for many years. More importantly, unlike Qian Jin who is far away in Yizhou, this Qian Yu was in the capital city of Jiankang. As the saying goes, those who are near the water get the moon first. As a father, Qian Yu was easier than Qian Jin to feel the current direction of the wind in the court and how to deal with this matter.
So the question is, how to deal with this matter?
"this……"
Looking at the letter sent back by his son, the elder Qian Yu felt sweat on his forehead.
Strictly speaking, apart from those remnants of Da Chu and those mountain bandits and road tyrants who can't even climb over the waves, this is the first time that rebels have appeared in Dachen territory - the reason why they need to use such serious tactics this time The title is purely because the opponent's strength has reached the point where the evil spirit is released.
Being able to release evil energy is a level that most predators cannot handle. Such a character is enough to cause trouble wherever he goes. Unlike the gangsters and road hogs who fight in small ways, once such a master is ready to kill everyone, it will really shake the foundation of Da Chen.
If there is any good news, it is that his son successfully survived in the hands of the rebel, and according to the letter, the rebel only acted in a hurry when fighting the grassland people in Yanzhou. , killed Qi Jinshan, the governor of Yanzhou, but he had no objections and no dissatisfaction with Da Chen.
As for the bad news…
The rebel didn't even say he wasn't rebelling.
This is also what confuses Qian Yu the most. Logically speaking, if the rebels don't want to rebel, then it will be fine if they are recruited. Then he will operate in the capital and give the rebels a false title of general, so What happened before is over, the rebels no longer need to rebel, and the court has a new enemy of ten thousand people, which is a great thing.
But the rebel refused to recruit him.
Not only did he refuse to be recruited, the rebel named Du Chengfeng even made it clear that he would fight with the general sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion.
"Is this man crazy?"
This was Qian Yu's first reaction. As a normal person, he really couldn't understand this kind of lunatic-like thinking.
So he chose to report the matter to the prime minister.
Anyway, the letter also said that the person named Zhang Qi who killed the Prime Minister on the way to rebel against the traitors, he remembered that he had discussed mysteries with the Prime Minister before - obviously, the Prime Minister was quite fond of Zhang Qi. Otherwise, he would not have taken the time to discuss anything with an ordinary monk in his busy schedule.
This is undoubtedly the Prime Minister's way of expressing his importance. The Prime Minister is very happy to see the man named Zhang Qi.
So, after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qian Yu withheld the family letter and then handed over the official document.
"Master Prime Minister, look at this..."
"Zhang Qi can actually be killed?"
Before Qian Yu could say anything, the prime minister sitting on the main seat suddenly frowned.
"Isn't it possible? How could it be so..."
"Why, my lord, what's the problem?"
Qian Yu shrank his neck. After working under this prime minister for many years, he could already feel that the prime minister in front of him was already a little angry.
But just a little angry.
This puzzled Qian Yu. You must know that the Prime Minister has always been known for his tough methods. Ruan Shantao, who was a Situ at that time and had many disciples and former officials all over the world, was only because of the matter of abolishing the military equipment with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister disagreed, so he was forced to retire and return to his hometown, never setting foot in the court again. Now that his own people were being killed, if the Prime Minister was really angry, he would have to lose dozens of heads of sufficient weight. OK.
But now, the Prime Minister just frowned.
This is unusual.
"Sir, is it possible that this is the same..."
"This Qi is an enemy of ten thousand people."
As if seeing Qian Yu's confusion, the prime minister said a few words casually.
"You can't tell just by looking at the appearance, but if Zhang Qi really goes all out, killing 10,000 people is really nothing to him... But here's the problem, what if one person is an enemy of 10,000 people? Will he be beaten to death?"
Because of weakness, what else could it be because of?
However, Qian Yu would only say this in his heart. On the surface, he tried his best to comfort the Prime Minister not to be angry - after all, his son was still in charge of Yizhou City. If the Prime Minister was really planning to make some big move , then can his son still live?
"Zhang Qi will be beaten to death, which means there is someone stronger than him."
While Qian Yu was wandering in his thoughts, the prime minister spoke.
"I have seen Zhang Qi's ability before. With his ability, it is really not easy to kill him. With such ability, he really deserves a reward... Wait, what did you just say? He refused Recruitment?"
"Uh... um."
Although telling the truth might be regarded as ineffective, Qian Yu nodded after being silent for a moment.
There is no need to hide this kind of private communication. After all, he really can't handle this level of matters - but the Prime Minister in front of him can handle it, even in just one sentence.
Like now.
"Since this northern barbarian is extremely stubborn, let the Buddha save him."
As he spoke, the Prime Minister waved to the guard at the door.
"Go, notify Master Zong Yan, tell him what happened just now, and then ask him to go to Yizhou... It would be best to capture the person alive, but if he really wants to be beaten to death, it doesn't matter."
"Don't bother me, the poor monk is already here."
Just as the guard was about to walk out of the door, a voice sounded from the top of the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a burly man carrying a stick walked into the house, bowing to the Buddha with one hand.
"Since the donor has troubles, the poor monk will live up to his trust."
Along with the words of the burly man, the eyes of the long stick inlaid with white bones and skulls also lit up.
The third update arrived. I quickly went to take a nap for a while. I was very sleepy. Everyone should go to bed early.
Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
I'm taking a break. See you all in the day.
