Fan Zongyin let out a long sigh, "After all, I am also a dignified Prime Minister. If I hadn't been filled with ill-will, I wouldn't have devalued myself and had trouble getting along with a little military general. When I saw him, I thought of the humiliation of the court.
, If I don’t deal with him severely, I will have a demon in my heart.”
"Fan Xianggong actually vented all his dissatisfaction with Zhang Jun on him!"
"maybe!
"However, it is indeed inappropriate to use the military camp to make things difficult for Chen Qing this time. It's not that you shouldn't make things difficult for him, but this method can easily cause trouble. In the end, the Ministry of War will be responsible. It will have a great impact on the credibility of the husband. I'm afraid there will be no more troubles in the future.
I dare to do things for my husband."
Fan Zongyin said impatiently: "I know. I have sent someone to tell Wang Hao to find a scapegoat and say that the Ministry of War officials made a mistake this time."
"It's better to make mistakes a few times on others, so that they won't be so conspicuous."
"That makes sense! I'll ask Wang Hao to make arrangements later."
"In addition, Mr. Fan should pay attention to Qin Hui."
"Hmph! That ungrateful and shameless person, I still keep speaking good words for him in front of the officials." When Qin Hui was mentioned, Fan Zongyin couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Han Qi shook her head and said: "When I say pay attention, I don't mean that he added insult to injury in the court. I mean that he may have also participated in the impeachment case of Chen Qing."
Fan Zongyin was startled, "Why do you say that?"
"After the court incident, I went to investigate Wang Huan. I always felt that this supervisory censor was very strange. He looked like my husband's bastard, but in fact he had nothing to do with my husband. He even hated Chen more than my husband.
Qing, it is completely unlike a normal supervisory censor investigation, Fan Xianggong, guess what I found?"
"I can't guess it, just say it!"
"This Wang Huan is actually Qin Hui's wife and nephew."
"What!"
Fan Zongyin's eyes widened. Wang Huan, who was stepped on so hard by Qin Hui, was actually Qin Hui's wife and nephew?
"Is this Wang Huan arranged by Qin Hui to investigate Chen Qing?"
"I think so. Originally it was not Wang Huan who went to investigate, but he was temporarily sent to do it. At first I thought it was Mr. Fan who greeted Shen Wanqiu."
Fan Zongyin quickly shook his head, "I didn't say hello."
"That's right, it can only be Qin Hui's arrangement!"
Fan Zongyin wondered: "If it was arranged by Qin Hui, what was his motive?"
"There are many motives. For example, he also wanted to bring down Zhang Jun, so he helped his husband. Another example, maybe the Kingdom of Jin had some request."
"Impossible! What does it have to do with the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Don't forget, Fan Xianggong, Wanyan Loushi died at the hands of Chen Qing. The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom even offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins for his head. Qin Hui came back from the Jin Kingdom again..."
Fan Zongyin stopped talking. He suddenly realized that he had thought too little about the problem.
"Actually, there is another possibility." Han Qi said calmly.
"What?"
"Chen Qing went on this bandit suppression mission as a martial arts student. I specifically looked at the list of martial arts students. I found that Qin Hui's other wife and nephew Wang Bo was also studying martial arts. In the previous entrance examination, Chen Qing was the first
First place, Wang Bo second place, could it be due to some kind of competition?"
Fan Zongyin shook his head, "Qin Hui is a dignified prime minister. He will not waste time and effort on such a small competition between martial arts students."
"That's the problem. Qin Hui didn't bother at all. Fan Xianggong was paying attention to this matter. He said hello to a new censor, and then he borrowed a knife to kill someone."
Fan Zongyin paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands. Han Qi's razor-sharp analysis made him realize his stupidity. He was still unaware that he was being used. In the past, he regarded Zhang Jun as a political enemy.
Now he discovered that Qin Hui was a real poisonous snake, lurking around him. He had already bit him hard in the court hall, and he didn't know when he would open his fangs to him again.
"Then what should I do? Sir, do you have any suggestions?"
"My suggestion is that no matter how much your husband hates Chen Qing, don't come forward personally. You can use Wang Bo instead! Create opportunities for him to fight with Chen Qing. They will both lose. Isn't that what your husband wants?
expected?"
Fan Zongyin nodded, this suggestion was indeed wise.
...........
The Oolong incident at the Ministry of War cannot be settled. Chen Qing has never been a person who swallows his anger.
Early the next morning, Chen Qing found Han Shizhong and begged him to make the decision for him.
After listening to Chen Qing's statement, Han Shizhong immediately realized that there was something wrong with it. Arranging military camps was just a trivial matter. This kind of internal ultimatum did not need the approval of the Prime Minister. This was clearly an endorsement guarantee given by Fan Zongyin because the Ministry of War did not want to take responsibility.
Han Shizhong thought for a while and said: "I am only a local military leader and cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the imperial court. However, since Ambassador Zhang Xuan entrusted you to me, I cannot ignore it. So be it! I will take you to see Lu Xianggong.
You can complain to him and ask him to seek justice."
Chen Qing also knew Han Shizhong's difficulties. Although he was very famous and valued by the emperor, he was still a local warlord, similar to Wu Jie and Wang Yan, and had a much lower status than Zhang Jun. He was also controlled by the imperial court and wanted him to be like
It is simply impossible for Zhang Jun to confront the Prime Minister like that. The fact that he can take him to see Lu Yihao is already the greatest resource he has to offer.
"I will be grateful for Han Dutong's help!"
Han Shizhong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Follow me!"
The two came to Lu Yihao's official room. Chen Qing was waiting outside. After a while, a boy came out and said: "General Chen, Mr. Lu, please come in!"
Chen Qing followed the tea boy into the official room, and saw the smiling Right Chancellor Lu Yihao chatting happily with Han Shizhong. Seeing Chen Qing come in, Han Shizhong stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will go first, please help Mr. Lu
Solve this matter and don’t let last night’s misunderstanding happen again.”
"Haha! Go ahead, Han Dutong! The truth will be dealt with impartially."
Han Shizhong nodded to Chen Qing and left first. Han Shizhong only introduced Lu Yihao for Chen Qing, but he could not participate in this matter, so he had to leave first.
Chen Qing knelt down on one knee and saluted, "General Chen Qing is here to see Lu Xianggong!"
Lu Yihao smiled slightly and said: "Han Dutong told me that there was some dispute last night. You might as well tell me the story in detail first."
Chen Qing took out a report with the approval from the Ministry of War as evidence. This was also Cao De's righteousness. Last night he got help from Chen Qing and camped overnight. In return, Cao De gave Chen Qing the approval from the Ministry of War, and he went back to
The Privy Council went through the formalities and the Ministry of War approval was already a piece of waste paper to him. As for whether it would offend Fan Zongyin, he, a son of an official from a meritorious family, didn't really care.
"This is a report written overnight by a humble official. The cause and effect are all in the report. Please take a look at it, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Yihao received the report and was really surprised. The reports of generals are basically written by their staff. It is rare to see young generals like Chen Qing who write reports personally. They are capable of both literary and military skills. They are Confucian generals!
In fact, what Chen Qing learned in later generations was still different from that of the Song Dynasty. The fonts alone were different. In order to adapt to the characters and writing habits of the Song Dynasty, he made great efforts. One winter in Linyou County, he did two things: Practice calligraphy and sword practice.
In particular, vulgar characters have existed since ancient times. With the changes in printing technology in the Song Dynasty, a large number of popular books such as novels were published. More and more common people were literate. The promotion of vulgar characters in the Song Dynasty was far better than that of the previous dynasties.
The common characters are similar to the simplified characters of later generations, such as Guo is written as Guo, Liu is written as Liu, and Shou is written as Shou. Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Qing accidentally wrote a few simplified characters. Everyone naturally regards them as common characters.
"Did you write this yourself?" Lu Yihao turned over the report and asked in surprise.
"This general has little knowledge, please don't make fun of me!"
Lu Yihao nodded approvingly, "The calligraphy is not bad. It can be seen that he has spent several years working on it."
'Words are like hammers', this is the philosophy of Chen Qing's father. Since Chen Qing was three years old, he asked a calligraphy teacher to teach Chen Qing to write. Chen Qing has been insisting for more than ten years. He is very poor in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but he has written a Good calligraphy.
Perhaps because of his good calligraphy, Lu Yihao carefully read Chen Qing's report.
He frowned, "Did you and General Cao have a conflict last night?"
"There was a misunderstanding last night that almost broke out into a conflict. Later, when the misunderstanding was cleared up, Beiji asked General Cao's troops to rest in the camp. Out of gratitude, General Cao handed Beiji the approval document given to him by the Ministry of War."
Lu Yihao looked at the approval document from the Ministry of War again. It had the seal of Wang Hao, the Minister of War, and even the instructions of the Prime Minister Fan Zongyin.
Lu Yihao sneered, how could he not understand that this Fan Zongyin was too petty. He was slapped in the face in the court, and it was really disgusting to wear small shoes for others in this way!
It's okay to wear small shoes, but this level of wearing small shoes is not flattering. It is too low-level. He also signed his name on the ultimatum, which is simply an insult to the status of the Prime Minister.
In fact, this is what Lu Yihao dislikes about Fan Zongyin. He is too young, too arrogant, and a bit unscrupulous. Maybe signing the ultimatum is also a manifestation of his arrogance!
Lu Yihao felt that it was necessary to hit Fan Zongyin with this matter. Don't be too arrogant. At the same time, it was also a favor to Zhang Jun. I did not stand idly by when your subordinates were bullied.
"Where is the approval for your military camp from the Privy Council?"
Chen Qing quickly took out the approval document and presented it to Lu Yihao, "Please take a look at it!"
Lu Yihao looked at the approval document and saw that the chain of evidence was complete. He smiled slightly and said: "It just so happened that the official summoned me in the afternoon. You have lunch at my place, and then I go to see the official in the afternoon. You just wait here. Maybe the official will Summon you."
"Thank you Mr. Lu for your love!"
"It's not about loving, it's just about upholding justice, otherwise Lao Zhang will come and demolish my home next time he comes to Beijing!"
Lu Yihao has already passed the necessary information to Chen Qing. On the surface, he is upholding justice, but in fact, I am doing Zhang Jun a favor.
