Information about Qiongzhou Prefecture suddenly spread in the capital thousands of miles away. Is this a rumor?
Not really.
According to Yin Jun, this is accurate news brought back by the palace guards, and it has also been confirmed by Emperor Sheng. In other words, this is definitely not a rumor.
Yeah?
Yes, there is physical evidence.
What kind of thing?
Let’s listen to Yin Jun’s performance:
"On His Majesty's holy case, there is a copy of the "Qiongzhou Xunbao" that was urgently delivered. According to the eunuch San Dezi, the newspaper was specially brought from the south by the internal guards and handed over to His Majesty himself. ...On the front page of the newspaper, there is an essay written by your Qiongzhou celebrity Sun Yue Gong. In the article, he angrily denounced the ambitions of the thieves in the Franco Kingdom and their determination to destroy China..."
Like This.
This matter was both expected and unexpected.
Let's put it this way, Qi Yu's special instruction before leaving was to report the military aircraft of the Franco Kingdom. However, because he was in a hurry at the time, he could not spare time to review the manuscript, so Qi Yu did not Know what Sun Bao wrote.
"Bai Mianshou, can you recite this article?"
"Well...I'll try my best."
"..."
Yin Junguo lives up to his reputation as a gifted scholar. He speaks almost immediately. Although he can recite the entire text, he can also give a general outline. As far as this memory is concerned, it is absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.
"Okay, okay, please keep your story short and concise. There is no need to get hung up on your words."
"Uh...okay."
Next, Yin Jun converted the article into easy-to-understand vernacular and explained it in a simple way.
In this way, the efficiency is much higher.
"According to Sun Yue Gong's article, the people of Folangji who are entrenched in Dawan despised the power of heaven and brazenly robbed my emperor's imperial treasure. After that, you went through the provincial government office in Guangdong to inform the governor of Fujian Gaoming I sent a request for help, but the latter just ignored and refused. As a last resort, you Qiongzhou had to go to the front desk and negotiate with a group of thieves..."
"What people didn't expect was that after the people of Dawan heard that the sacred objects had been robbed, they all became angry. They shouted, it's enough for us, the humble people, to be humiliated. How can the dignity of the emperor be ruined? Fu? Inspired by righteousness, the people started to fight one after another. At this moment, the Qiongzhou delegation who went to negotiate happened to happen upon them and immediately stood together with the people... As the conflicts between the two sides continued to intensify , finally evolved into a full-scale struggle to expel the alien tigers and wolves. It is said that there were some physical conflicts..."
Objectively speaking, the content of this article is mixed between true and false, and the narrative side avoids the important and ignores the trivial. At first glance, it is Qi Xiaotong’s instruction.
What is strong rhetoric?
This article is it.
The beauty of this article is that no matter which angle you interpret it from, Qiongzhou is on the side of justice, and it also stands on the moral high ground.
Fran
Machine: You are telling lies with open eyes!
Qiongzhou: Then find someone to prove it!
Franji: Didn’t you kill all the witnesses...?
Qiongzhou: So there is none?
Back to business.
In short, there is one thing: all the news that is not good for Qiongzhou has been erased by Xiaotong. The people of Dawan will not turn their elbows outward anyway, so there is nothing to worry about.
After he finished speaking, Yin Jun asked him again: "Village man, is this true?"
Qi Yu replied: "This is indeed true." After admitting it, he asked: "I wonder, what do the courtiers and your Majesty think of this?"
That's the point.
Especially the emperor's statement.
However, Yin Jun shook his head and said: "None of them have any idea about this. No one can tell the reason."
oh?
It's really weird. Isn't such a big matter not discussed openly in court?
Seeing Qi Yu's confused face, Yin Jun explained to him: "There is no other reason. The main reason is that no one knows how to deal with it, so... everyone unanimously remained silent."
"how do I say this?"
“In short, it’s hard to gain and lose.”
Yin Jun took a sip of wine and continued: "The people of Franji despise the power of heaven first, and Qiongzhou asks for an explanation later. It can be seen that we are acting passively and occupying the right place. If you follow my law, From a legal point of view, robbing imperial treasures is a capital crime, and anyone who can find it will be punished. Therefore, Qiongzhou's rebellion is completely in line with justice. Taken together, there is nothing wrong with what Qiongzhou did."
"However, Dafeng is currently engaged in an arms transaction with Franji. It is considered a cooperative relationship, not a so-called old enemy. So the question is, if Franji really raises troops to invade Qiong, how should the court deal with it? What next? If weapons and weapons meet, the firearms trade will be forced to stop, which will affect the construction of the Navy. But if you sit back and ignore it, you will lose your righteousness and will probably be criticized by the world. The imperial court is fighting Not even if we don’t fight, it’s really difficult to handle!”
After Yin Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he felt the same.
The reason is simple, you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
A choice must be made.
However, when faced with one-way multiple-choice questions, most people will get entangled in it and worry about gains and losses, even the ninth-five-year-old is no exception.
At the end, Yin Jun added: "It is said that Annan, which is adjacent to Qiongzhou, seems to be a bit eyeing..."
In the eyes of outsiders, Qiongzhou is now a messy pot of porridge, and is full of crises.
So, how to break the situation?
have no idea!
The court officials remained silent about this, and the cabinet members expressed their inability to do anything about it. His Majesty the Emperor was also a big boy. Before he could officially retire from the court, he ran away to the harem feeling unhappy.
In fact, in addition to the court, this matter also affected the officialdom outside.
It is said that some well-informed officials, after hearing that Qiongzhou became rich, hurriedly sent "charcoal tribute" gifts to the Minister of Personnel. He also made it clear that he was very happy to go south to Qiongzhou, replace Qi Yu in the position, and stage the dream of "purifying the prefecture in three years and earning one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver".
However, I never thought that that place would be full of dangers.
If you really go to take office, you may face revenge from the French people, so you have to think twice!
The sage has said that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can he foolishly let a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
Can't go!
It seems that the money was wasted. It is impossible for the Minister of Civil Affairs to return it voluntarily, so just think of it as spending money to buy a lesson.
It can be seen that this sudden military news turned Qiongzhou Prefecture from a hot potato to a hot potato in an instant. As a result, no one coveted Qi Yu's position.
Even the emperor was unwilling to change his generals at this juncture. Moreover, even if it were someone else, the problem might not be solved.
Haha~~~
Isn't this what Qi Dalang wants?
Alas!
Rejoice!
Yin Caizi was worthy of being Qi Dalang's good friend for many years. He just touched his nose briefly and smelled an underlying conspiracy.
He once went south to Qiongzhou and witnessed the development of the place with his own eyes, which was indeed said to have great potential. At that time, Qi Yu clearly expressed his intention to stay in office. Therefore, he had reason to suspect that this Nanyang crisis was deliberately created by his villagers.
Even so, there's no need to poke such a big hole, right?
Thinking of this, Yin Jun sighed lightly and asked: "Village man, tell the truth, what do you think?"
Qi Yu put down the wine cup and replied seriously: "To tell you the truth, I want to stay in Qiongzhou to benefit the people there. I hope you can help me more to make this happen."
Yin Jun hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll help you this time."
"Thank you! Do it!"
"Do it!"
…
Three days later, it was another beautiful sunny day.
However, the vast expanse of white snow has not yet melted, and the surroundings are still plain.
Early in the morning, Qi Yu brought many gifts and continued to visit old friends from the past, such as Yuwen Hongyuan, Yang Gonglin, etc.
The career of these people has not had much ups and downs, and is more or less the same. However, they are also very happy to enjoy this leisurely life of drinking and waiting to die.
Before noon, all visits were completed.
go home!
As soon as he stepped into the house, Qi Dalang smelled the strong fragrance of 'pork head braised on a stick of firewood'.
Haha, no need to guess, I am cooking again.
Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to have a bite to satisfy his craving, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the door.
Following the call, I saw that the eunuch San Dezi had arrived.
Hey! Why is he here?
