The sergeant immediately said:
"It's Yan Zhongcheng and Secretary Li from the Yushitai."
At this moment, Du Hongjian felt a chill coming over his body.
Yushi Zhongcheng is the person in charge of the Yushitai. Although he is not the prime minister, his duty to supervise all officials makes the position of Yushi Zhongcheng very critical, and his authority is second only to the prime ministers.
Although the position of secretary-supervisor is not an important one, Li Bi has been a close official of the emperor since Lingwu ascended the throne.
If Li Mi hadn't been so humble, he would have declared himself Prime Minister.
The fact that these two officials came to Lingwu represents the court's distrust of Lingwu Dragon Bones.
No wonder all the auspicious memorials I submitted fell into disuse!
Du Hongjian became a scholar and trained in border towns for many years.
He was a man of great ability. After thinking for a while, he finally got rid of the blind spots in his thinking.
The excavations during this period made him convinced about the dragon bones, and he really reported the auspiciousness to the court.
But if Du Hongjian were an official in the Fengxiang Mansion, or even an emperor on the throne, he would probably be suspicious of this auspicious sign, right?
If Zhang Tianlun hadn't dug up the dragon's head from the beginning, Du Hongjian wouldn't have supported him so much.
I am afraid that I am caught in a fight in the court.
After understanding this, Du Hongjian felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Du Hongjian understood this truth instantly.
Although Du Hongjian was a Jinshi in Wenhuaxuan in his early years, after living in the border town for many years, he was no longer the frail scholar.
Since someone in the court had already taken action, Du Hongjian naturally could not sit back and wait for death.
He snorted coldly and said:
"These two imperial envoys are not good people!"
After understanding this, Du Hongjian calmed down.
This auspiciousness was real. Du Hongjian was not the only one to see it. Thousands of people at the excavation site watched the dragon bones being excavated bit by bit.
Since the dragon skeleton is real, what does he have to fear?
No matter what kind of struggle we are involved in, as long as the dragon skeleton is real, we can defeat ten societies with one force!
When the soldiers come, just cover up the water and earth!
Ya Bing saw the change in Du Hongjian's expression and quickly complained and asked:
"How are we going to receive the imperial envoy after we stay?"
"Reception? The imperial envoy is here with official business for the imperial court. We just need to cooperate."
"Then you will return to Jiedushi's mansion now?"
But Du Hongjian said: "Why do you have to return to the Jiedushi Mansion? I stayed behind to supervise the excavation of the dragon carcass. I can't move away. Please ask the left-hand official of the Jiedushi Mansion to welcome the imperial envoy!"
Ya Bing was stunned when he heard this.
Today is not the time when vassal towns were divided in the late Tang Dynasty. Today's Jiedushi envoys are all appointed by the imperial court, and the imperial court has a great influence on the Jiedushi envoys' mansion.
Yushi Zhongcheng was a high official in the imperial court, second only to the prime minister, but Du Hongjian didn't even greet him personally?
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and convey the order from the Empress?"
The tooth soldiers then resigned.
After the Ya soldiers left, Du Hongjian immediately said:
"Come here, watch everyone at the excavation site."
The tooth soldiers immediately started moving, causing a slight commotion in the entire excavation site, but it quickly calmed down again.
Du Hongjian's prestige in Shuofang's army was second only to Guo Ziyi's, and he usually treated his soldiers generously. After entering Shuofang's territory, Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi also saw a different scene.
Although this is a border pass, it is in good order. Although all the men have been deployed for the war, it is much better than the Guanzhong prefectures passing along the way.
Yan Zhenqing had never been to Lingwu and was surprised by such a scene in Lingwu.
Li Mi helped the emperor come to Lingwu to ascend the throne, and he also stayed in Lingwu for a few months, but he was not as surprised as Yan Zhenqing.
Yan Zhenqing couldn't help but ask: "Why are border areas like Shuofang more stable than Guanzhong?"
Li Mi said: "Zhongcheng has never been to Lingwu, so naturally he doesn't know the scene in this town."
"The Lingwu soldiers are known to the world to be brave and good at fighting. Almost every household in Lingwu has someone joining the army."
"The North is a martial art. If you encounter injustice from the government or oppression by strong men, the soldiers will keep watch in the countryside. If it leads to a mutiny, it will not end well."
"So the local government doesn't dare to oppress too much, and powerful landlords don't dare to seize people's land at will. On the contrary, Lingwu's administration is more clear and clear than Guanzhong."
When Li Mi said this, there was no proud expression on his face.
Although Lingwu is more clear-minded than Guanzhong's officials, the military leaders bully the people and the people are fierce and brave. These are all problems of Shuofang Military Town.
Under the surface of the spiritual martial order, there is a more ruthless and bloodthirsty chaos.
This seems to be stable, but it is an extremely fragile balance under the delicate balance of violence.
Moreover, in order to allow Shuofang soldiers to fight, the imperial court had exempted Shuozhou from its many years of rent.
However, large-scale military operations require the consumption of military resources, and these funds will naturally have to be allocated to other places.
Guanzhong and Jianghuai, the two places most exploited by the Tang Dynasty, naturally had ten houses and nine empty houses.
Li Mi thought again of the unruly behavior of Shuofang's army when he first arrived in Lingwu.
Later, with the help of rewards, the imperial court gradually took control of Shuofang's army.
It was also Guo Ziyi's lofty personal prestige that convinced these brave soldiers.
Putting away his messy thoughts, Li Mi caught up with Yan Zhenqing.
When Yan Zhenqing and his party entered Lingwu City, the left-hand officials of the Jiedushi Mansion who had received the news stood at the city gate to greet them.
Li Mi looked around, but did not see Du Hongjian, the Jiedushi envoy, who was staying behind.
Li Mi stayed in Lingwu for a while, and saw a familiar Jiedu envoy joining the army and asked: "Where are you staying?"
The soldier immediately said: "Go back to the Secretary's Prison and stay in the town outside Lingwu City."
Li Mi frowned and said, "What are you doing in the town after you stay?"
"I stayed here to personally supervise the excavation of the dragon carcass, and I am still in charge of the town."
Li Mi was also a little surprised.
Before coming, Li Mi thought about countless possibilities.
After much thought, Li Mi finally speculated that Du Hongjian was confused for a while and lied about the auspiciousness in order to boost the morale of the army.
It's just that the matter involved a complicated battle in the court, and the matter was pushed forward again.
Li Mi thought for a long time, and in order to stabilize the situation in the court, he could only help Du Hongjian cover up the matter as much as possible.
Especially in such a war, it is best to wait until the end of the war and then find a way to deal with Du Hongjian.
Li Mi originally had no doubts about his speculation, but when he heard that Du Hongjian was sitting at the excavation site, he became doubtful again.
The itinerary along the way was all arranged by Li Mi. Yesterday, he deliberately stayed at a posthouse instead of going directly to Lingwu City, just to give Du Hongjian time to deal with it.
If Du Hongjian really forged the dragon skeleton, then he should destroy the evidence as much as possible and drag him down with the imperial envoys in his profession.
Li Mi had already made up his mind to help Du Hongjian do this. With his cooperation, Lingwu would become the territory of Shuofang's army again.
No matter how upright Yan Zhenqing is, he will definitely not be able to find out the truth about Xiangrui so quickly.
Li Mi's solution was to delay, but what happened to Du Hongjian?
Doesn't he know the meaning of procrastination?
Upon hearing that Du Hongjian was at the scene, Yan Zhenqing's prim and serious face showed a smile.
He directly said to the soldiers of Shuofang Army: "Then we won't enter the city, and go directly to see Empress Du Liu!"
Li Mi secretly cried out, if he really met Du Hongjian, there would really be no room for maneuver.
Li Mi was about to give some more advice, but Yan Zhenqing had already mounted the horse again.
Li Bi secretly thought that was bad, he had forgotten that Yan Zhenqing was a powerful man who could organize rebels behind enemy lines and fight against the rebels.
He is not at all like those censors in the imperial court who only know how to spit.
But seeing Yan Zhenqing riding away, Li Mi quickly got on the horse and said:
"Zhongcheng! Wait for me!"
Yan Zhenqing drove all the way and finally arrived in front of the town where the dragon bones were excavated.
As the censor Zhongcheng, Yan Zhenqing has the duty to monitor all officials. He is upright by nature, and what he hates most are those who flatter him.
In Yan Zhenqing's view, the reason why the Tang Dynasty reached this point was because of those flattering and sycophantic officials.
From Li Linfu to Yang Guozhong, two generations of traitors tolerated and tolerated the ambitious An Lushan.
Officials at all levels dare not tell the truth, and this is the main culprit of the world's decline.
Therefore, since he became the censor Zhongcheng, he has been upright and upright. He has participated in many ministers' affairs along the way and has left a reputation of being strong and strong in the court.
The town where dinosaurs were excavated was not far from Lingwu City. When Yan Zhenqing saw the bustling town, he felt even more dissatisfied.
Yan Zhenqing's dissatisfaction reached the extreme after seeing the soldiers wearing Shuofang Army sergeant uniforms.
Du Hongjian, the Shuofang army, in order to flatter the emperor, actually used so much manpower to forge auspiciousness!
Such a treacherous villain actually holds such an important position in Shuofang's army. Yan Zhenqing has already thought about it. When he returns to Lingwu, he must vigorously participate in Du Hongjian's performance!
Li Mi rode his horse and caught up with Yan Zhenqing while panting.
When he saw the bustling town, Li Mi was also stunned.
What the hell is Du Hongjian doing to make the battle so big?
Yan Zhenqing was wearing a royal robe, which immediately attracted the attention of Du Hongjian's soldiers.
After a while, Du Hongjian, wearing official robes, came out of the town.
"Welcome Yan Zhongcheng, Secretary Supervisor."
Du Hongjian was also an important court official with the title of Minister of War, but he just bowed his hands in salute.
Yan Zhenqing dismounted and said: "Du Bingbu, according to the saint's will, I came to Lingwu to investigate the auspiciousness of the dragon carcass."
Li Mi never expected that things would develop to this point.
Yan Zhenqing didn't even enter Lingwu City, but directly confronted King Du Hongjian!
Du Hongjian stood there and said: "Please give me the saint's will."
Yan Zhenqing sneered and took out the imperial edict from his sleeve.
After the edict was read out, Yan Zhenqing directly helped Du Hongjian up and said:
"Du Bingbu, I wonder where this auspicious dragon carcass is?"
Du Hongjian pointed to the town behind him and said:
"The dragon skeleton is in the town. I will take two angels to see it."
