Xie Ming

Chapter 447 Heading South!

Xiao and Qi were discussing the affairs of the Southern Court in the back hall!
I heard that the person who intended to advise the emperor and withdraw himself from Shandong was Ni Yuanlu, the second assistant of the Northern Party cabinet!
When Xiao Jingchuan heard the news, he was somewhat surprised!

"oh?!"

"This"

Xiao was unable to understand the situation for a moment and frowned in confusion.

Seeing this, Qi Gang also continued to talk about it.

"Hehehe"

"That's true!"

"It's not just you, the Governor, who's complaining about this!"

"Even when Master Ti first heard this, he was completely confused!"

"The secret envoy from the south said that he only found out the clues after further investigation!"

"So it was Ni Yuanlu. Elder Ni is planning to change his appeasement strategy and negotiate with the invading Jiannu people in the south!"

"That's why I'm speaking to the emperor, stirring up trouble, trying to use the current predicament as an excuse, saying that I'm using the enemy to quell the rebellion and driving the tiger to devour the wolf!"

"He thought that if he could send someone to visit the old capital in the north, he could stabilize the Jiannu army!"

"Then use those Yi Ding iron cavalry outside the pass to deal with Li Chuang's Dashun army!"

"It will help you to resolve the dilemma directly!" Qi Gang spoke eloquently, revealing the details.

But when he heard about appeasement and the bad idea of ​​letting the tiger devour the wolf, Xiao suddenly became angry and shouted loudly to interrupt and curse!
"fart!"

"Damn it!"

"This killer is an old fool!"

"How can you do such a reckless thing?!" As he spoke, he became more and more angry!
"Ni Yuanlu wow Ni Yuanlu!"

"Ugh!"

"You are harming the army and the country!"

"What the hell is driving a tiger to swallow a wolf!"

"Do you really think that the Jiannu barbarians are all stupid fools?!"

"Now that they have broken through Shanhaiguan, they have already swallowed up northern Zhili and are aiming at Henan and Shandong!"

"That's a strong military force!"

"How can they be willing to be easily instigated by us and let the imperial court use them as pawns and pioneers?!"

"Ah?!" When he burst out in a fierce voice, Xiao slapped the edge of the table!

Snapped!
Continue to speak!

"If the emperor really approves of his strategy, he will really change his course and go for peace talks."

"Then we will really suffer from now on!"

When Xiao Jingchuan heard Ni Yuanlu's advice, he found it extremely disagreeable. They had different ideas and it was unreasonable!

So he hurried over to complain, took two steps forward, and stood under the eaves!
It takes a long time to adjust your mind, then you can feel calm and at peace!
Knowing this plan, since there was an imperial edict to send it north, I thought the emperor must have approved it. I couldn't help but feel disappointed. There was no way to save it.
"Ugh"

"This is a ridiculous peace talk. If it doesn't work out, then forget it!"

"But there is no agreement!"

"Qi Gang!"

"Just watch!"

"Maybe they can just pretend to be nice!"

"But what about us... huh!"

"They will definitely pretend to be real and deceive themselves and others. Based on this, they will completely relax the vigilance of the northern line!"

"By then, when the situation gets like that, Shandong's defeat won't be far away!" Xiao sighed sadly.

Regarding this overall strategy, Qi Gang couldn't say much and made no comment!

"Uh"

"That's what the commander-in-chief is worried about. The military situation is very general!"

"This... I just don't understand!"

"However, I think Ni Yuanlu would take the initiative to jump out at this critical moment and cause such trouble!"

"Haha, most likely, it's just for the sake of showing off!"

"After all, right now in the Southern Court, there is indeed talk of a rivalry between the Northern and Southern factions!"

"I'm afraid it's probably because of the emperor's balancing mentality that's keeping him going!"

"In reality, the Southern Party regards itself as a local tyrant. It has been operating in Jiangnan for a long time and has deep roots!"

"As for the court, they respect Qiu Weizhen as the leader, so it's not a problem to maintain the basic situation. They are just fearless!"

"People from the Northern School are new here, and they are strangers from a foreign land. Those who hold high positions are no better than the old ones who followed the emperor!"

"If there are more, they are the former officials in the capital who have retired and are still worth using and have been reinstated!"

"Or maybe he was a recorder who returned home in mourning and encountered an accident before he could return north!"

"After all, there aren't many capable people to help!"

"So Ni Yuanlu wanted to gain credit and power so strongly in order to secure his position."

"It's not hard to understand!"

"Alas," "After all, it's all just some internal conspiracy!"

"In this world, no matter how the situation changes!"

"This person seems to have never changed!"

"There's no chance of anything new happening!" Qi Gang rarely expressed his emotion, showing his true nature.

"Humph!"

"A bunch of trouble!"

"Governing the country is useless!"

"You're really smart in fighting for power!"

"Those who harm the Ming Dynasty are truly unworthy of being in the imperial court, and you are one of them!"

Xiao Wei stood with his hands behind his back, still gazing deep into the rain. His back showed a melancholy look, and he seemed to be in a state of frustration!
The rain came suddenly and darkly, and I hurried down without caring about anything else!
The back hall is connected to the small courtyard with two patios in the middle of the front hall. It is now wet all around, and the rain has soaked every brick joint, leaving no gaps!
"Okay!"

"Qi Gang!"

After a long silence, Xiao finally spoke again.

"Feiyu, do you have any specific ideas about the Nanzhao affairs? Do you want you to teach it in person? " Xiao Zaizuo asked for the final consultation.

"Ah! Yes."

"General Ti asked me to analyze the situation and then tell the commander-in-chief his message!"

Qi Gang actually had something else to say next!

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan turned around and looked back!

"Go ahead!" Xiao sighed.

"Uh"

"Two short sentences in total!"

"The southern border is safe! Don't hesitate and return to the capital alone as soon as possible!"

"You will be conferred the title of marquis and appointed as prime minister right here. Come quickly, come quickly!" Qi Gang repeated the message word for word!

After hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan let out a long breath!
"call--"

"Know it!"

"Qi Gang!"

"You haven't eaten either?!"

"Long Court?!"

After finishing the main topic, Xiao casually asked about food and then turned his head to give instructions to Changting!
"Changting, go and make two more bowls of noodles!"

"You and Qi Gang should eat something while it's hot!"

Although Xiao was still upset because of a major event that had just happened, he did not forget to make arrangements and was concerned about his subordinates.

But Qi Gang was very insightful. He could tell from the man's expression and quickly waved his hand to say something to avoid wasting the commander's energy!
"Uh"

"No, no need!"

"Hey, Commander!"

"You'd better eat something to fill your stomach!"

"After eating, we can start our journey south!"

"I won't bother you any more!"

"There are still some errands to do with Minglu on the east front, and I haven't been able to complete them yet!"

"The old place on Qushuiting Street in the city. I will stay here for one more night. If the governor needs anything, please send Changting to give instructions!"

"If there is nothing serious, I will withdraw tomorrow if the four checkpoints in Jinan are able to let us go!"

"Go back east!" Qi Gang said farewell.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lue thought about it, but couldn't think of any other reason for the moment, so he simply let Qi Gang go!
"kindness"

"Alright!"

"You go ahead!"

"After I leave for the south, the various prefectures in Shandong will be handed over to you!"

After saying this, Qi Gang bowed his head and left the yamen!
After watching the man disappear without a trace, Xiao Jingchuan was stunned for a while before he came to his senses!
He reached out and picked up the set of bowl and chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and stuffed them into his mouth!
After taking two big mouthfuls, he suddenly muttered something hurriedly and turned to face the long court again!

"Changting!"

"You can go too. I know your kid will prepare some food for himself in the small kitchen!"

"Go eat it quickly, it will get cold soon!"

"I'll give you half a minute!"

"After you've eaten your fill, go to the yamen and pick up a team of guards!"

"More than a hundred people are enough!"

"After I finish this bowl of noodles, we will rush south under the stars and moonlight!"

"We need two extra good horses!"

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, you must ride into Nanjing!"
