Chapter 242 Playing so big
While waiting for her father to come back, Xue Xu chatted with her about the stall in Dragon City.
The Dragon City side was basically on the right track. When he left, he left Xiao Kun in charge.
Lu Songli knew that Xiao Kun was a relatively calm person. He had always been with Qin Sheng and was one of the leading figures in the reconnaissance team.
Since Xue Xu can entrust the stall to him and let him take charge of it, Lu Songli is relatively relieved about this.
At this time, a voice sounded outside, "He's back! Mr. Lu is back!"
After hearing this, Lu Songli immediately stood up and went to greet him. Qin Sheng quickly followed him with a wink, and the others also stood up.
Lu Songli supported his arm and came to the main seat, "Dad, you have worked hard. You must be tired. Please sit down."
Qin Sheng immediately brought him tea and said, "Father-in-law, please drink some water."
Lu Desheng glanced at him, and he seemed to be interested.
Lu Songli also gave him a look of approval.
Lu Desheng took the cup and drank a full glass of water. He was really exhausted.
"Dad, are you finished handing over?" Lu Songli counted the time and found that it was quite fast.
"The handover is over and everything went smoothly."
Lu Desheng happily took out the seal and two letters of appointment. From now on, he was the magistrate of Houcheng County.
Lu Desheng couldn't hide his pride. The Houcheng County Magistrate had achieved this with great difficulty.
Qin Heng and others all sensed his love for his daughter. For the sake of his daughter, he was sent from outside Chang'an City to this border where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop.
Lu Songli picked up the two appointment letters, glanced at them, and handed one of them to Xue Xu.
Xue Xu took it and lowered his eyes to see the appointment letter saying that Xue Xu (Xue Guangxian) was appointed as the chief registrar of the Houcheng County Yamen...
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had worked for the Chen family for more than ten years before, but Chen Jiaye had never thought of seeking an official position for him. He had only served for the Sixth Young Madam not long ago, and he had already been promoted to an official position, although this was only a very small matter.
Zhengyinguan is a subordinate official, but he is also an official, right?
He immediately stood up and said, "Master Lu, the Sixth Young Madam, the Crown Prince... it is better to go to the grassland sooner rather than later. Time is running out. Xue has to set off."
Lu Songli also stood up, "We would like to wish Mr. Xue all the best and success."
Qin Heng called someone, "Zhou Da, please order a few people to protect Mr. Xue on a trip to the grassland."
Zhou Da: "No!"
Xue Xu finally nodded to them and then strode out.
Lu Desheng didn't move. What happened during his absence?
Lu Songli then explained to him Xue Xu's mission to the grassland.
Finally, she said, "Dad, Mr. Xue is running a secret line and is secretly assisting."
Lu Desheng: Yes, he understands this. This is how the naval forces he raised in Chang'an used to play. They secretly promoted public opinion and openly attacked targeted targets. However, the main battlefield this time was on the grassland.
Lu Songli directly started the follow-up plan, "Dad, whether this can happen or not depends on you."
Lu Desheng: "Daughter, don't say that, dad feels a lot of pressure. Don't forget, dad is currently just the magistrate of Houcheng County, Liaodong County also has a county governor, and further up, Liaodong County can be said to be subordinate to Pingzhou, the top
And the governor. "He can't make the decision on such a big thing as Xianbei's troops going south. And there will be a response from the imperial court, and he won't be allowed to make the decision.
Lu Songli smiled and comforted him, "Dad, you can decide this matter. You are the magistrate of Houcheng County, and you also have the responsibility to protect the land." Since you have responsibilities, you should have corresponding powers.
You must know that before her father became the magistrate of Houcheng County, he was a censor. What happened if he gained a little more power?
And if her father wanted to intervene, I don't think the governor of Liaodong County, Zheng Xun, would have any objections.
Lu Songli guessed correctly. Faced with the complicated situation in Liaodong, Xianbei's powerful dignitaries, and Lu Desheng's forced intervention, Zheng Xun's reaction was like an ostrich.
Just report the situation.
For Lu Songli, the key to solving the crisis must lie with her father. It doesn't matter if he is gone now, she must help her father get the initiative and voice in the negotiations. Otherwise, her plan will become too impossible.
control.
Lu Desheng: It sounds reasonable.
"Okay, daughter, you tell me what to do." Lu Desheng said impassionedly, extending his head and slashing his head, then playing with his daughter, and she would never harm him anyway.
Time was urgent, so Lu Songli stopped being polite and said, "Father, first, in the name of Houcheng County Magistrate, write a letter to Liaodong County Commander Le Guicai, saying that you have something to discuss and invite him to come."
The first step is to pull up your own personnel first.
"What if he doesn't come?" He is a county magistrate, and he is a county lieutenant.
"He will come. Tell him that you have a way to calm down this storm and make this war impossible without releasing Tuobalian. He will definitely come."
In fact, if her plan succeeds, Tuobalian will still have to be released. However, it is not right to deceive the person first, but to coax him over later.
Let Le Guicai authorize Tuobalian's use rights to them first. This is a prerequisite, otherwise Xianbei can negotiate with them?
Lu Desheng: Does he have this ability?
"Daughter, do you really have a solution?" Don't talk nonsense. In the end, it won't work. If the first fire of his new official's appointment is not ignited, he will lose face.
"Yes." Lu Songli said with certainty.
"Okay, I'll write this letter!"
"Father, then, in the name of Houcheng County Magistrate, you can send an official letter to the two magistrates of Wangping and Wulu County, inviting them to come to Houcheng and discuss together how to retreat from the enemy."
"They will come. When they arrive, we will negotiate with Xianbei in the name of Liaodong County or the imperial court." She has already decided on the members of the negotiating group.
Now the two county magistrates are facing such a critical situation. They want to run but can't. They are probably as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They will not give up if there is a chance. What's more, her father is very famous in Chang'an.
They'll want to come and see it.
"Daughter, are we having such a big time?" Lu Desheng asked, what should I do if I'm a little scared?
"Dad, we're not afraid." This is not an unsolvable situation. If there really was no way to solve it, she would have run away with everyone long ago.
Lu Desheng thought for a moment, "What about the governor of Liaodong County and the governor of Pingzhou?" If we really want to negotiate, we can't get around them.
"Don't worry about Zheng Xun. As for the provincial governor, let's see if we can stop him."
Play big, play big.
"Daughter, please take it easy. Don't be so big. Dad's small body can't bear it." Lu Desheng's voice trembled.
He was in Chang'an City. When the late emperor was there, it was the late emperor who gave him the confidence. Now that the late emperor is gone, the gold medal he gave him to avoid death is still there, and he also has the confidence to mess around. Now, he has nothing, and he played so big in the first place. To be honest
, he is a bit timid.
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter won't let you leave these hundreds of pounds in Houcheng. Houcheng is not worthy of it." Lu Songli comforted him.
Brothers of the Qin family: I have seen this for a long time. It turns out that Master Lu, who frightened the ministers in Chang'an City, behaves like this in front of his daughter.
However, the sixth brother and sister's game was indeed a bit too big. They seized power, deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, and they all lived together.
Her boldness and courage are truly astonishing.
"Sixth brother and sister, if we are needed, just give us your orders. We also have Ma Jin and other people at your disposal."
"Okay." She wouldn't be polite.
For Lu Songli, there is only one chance, and this opportunity is too rare. After passing this level, Houcheng is theirs.
As for what will happen if the court finds out later?
If she doesn't succeed, her father will be a bear. Her father has been released. If Hou Cheng fails, the new emperor Song Mo will not give her father another chance. If she succeeds, she can make her father a national hero! Even the imperial court
