Chapter 251 It turns out that you are the key person
Qiu Ji carefully analyzed Xin Xiran's relationship with the ten major vassal kings, the banquet of Huiyang, and even the relationship between the court and the marching of the righteous, so that he could understand the connection between the three.
Since the two broke up, it was the first time that Xin Xiran had heard Qiu Ji say so many things. This man is usually a mess, with a cold face, as if he had no trouble with strangers and acquaintances. He thought that Qiu Ji was just a noble young man with some talent and introverted personality.
But today's conversation made him realize that Qiu Ji knew not only the knowledge in the book, but even knew more and thought more, and was not the problem that his neighbor would consider.
While Xin Xiran was surprised by this, he reflected on himself again, eating, drinking and having fun all day, without caring about these things. An emotion called self-shaming grew in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But who is Xin Xiran? Even though he suffered all kinds of hardships in the first half of the month, he couldn't make him bow his head in front of Qiu Ji.
"Since the marriage has been settled, there must be no suspense. This battle will start sooner or later." He said with a bit of dismantling the table.
It’s not that he hoped that the Yi marchings would go to war with the court, but according to the situation, a tough battle would be fought sooner or later. Since the Yi marchings had the support of five princes, they were even more powerful than the court. Is the war far away?
Qiu Ji didn't care. With a calm smile, there was something that others couldn't understand: "Is this true? I don't know."
Xin Xiran obviously wanted to argue again, but listened to Qiu Ji: "No matter what, this battle will not start for at least two or three years.
The existing military force of the court is enough to compete with the marching of the righteous, so why should we collect taxes and work hard for the people? It should be noted that once the people suffer, they will inevitably be even more disappointed with the court. At that time------"
At that time, the people would support the marches that gave them hope, and the court would become everyone who shouted and beat them, and this was not something that Qiu Jilei had seen.
Xin Xiran couldn't speak for a moment, but Qiu Ji was right. This battle could not be fought, at least it could not be fought in a short period of time. The marching army fought against the court for ten years but had not started. Even if the five princes joined, they would not be fought in the short term. But he was a little resistant and did not want to agree with Qiu Ji's words.
There was a silence in the pavilion, and neither of them spoke. Xin Xiran didn't feel cold at this time. After three glasses of wine, his face turned slightly red. Qiu Ji had a glass of wine. He knew that Qiu Ji had good alcohol content and thought that he didn't know where the alcohol content came from.
After calming down, he remembered why he came here again? Oh by the way, Qiu Ji said he wanted to ask for his help.
He looked at the latter and asked, "So your purpose is to dispel the ministers' proposal to recruit soldiers. What are you going to do?"
No matter how you look at this, it is not a simple matter. If things are as serious as Qiu Ji said, who would listen to his eldest son? He didn't even have the chance to enter the palace, let alone speak in the court.
Qiu Ji's expression became serious again, with a little earnest and expectant tone in his tone, "I hope you can help me find out what ministers will there be."
"Additional?" Xin Xiran was puzzled.
"Recruiting troops and increasing taxes is not useful if one person says it. After one person submits a proposal, at least half of the civil and military officials will approve the proposal. At that time, the emperor naturally has no excuse to disagree."
Xin Xiran was about to ask why, but after seeing Qiu Ji's confident expression, he immediately swallowed the words again. When asked at this time, he seemed to seem even more stupid.
He didn't ask, but Qiu Ji explained to himself: "You also know that the emperor does not have much real power. Faced with the forced opposition of the ministers, the emperor has no right to object.
Even if he strongly opposes, dozens of ministers only stopped at Zhengdemen, stopped demonstrating, and forced each other to die. Is this kind of thing rare since ancient times?"
Xin Xiran snorted angrily: "I don't know, who needs you to explain. But what can I do? Where can I ask you for information?"
Qiu Ji looked down on him too much.
Qiu Ji looked at him with a deep look: "Who is responsible for recruiting soldiers and horses?"
"Of course it's the Ministry of War." Xin Xiran still understood this. When Qiu Ji asked about it, he felt that he was underestimated and was already a little impatient.
"Then who do you think this proposal will be proposed?" Qiu Ji continued to ask questions as if he hadn't seen it.
The conversation of questions and answers made Xin Xiran unhappy. He glanced at him in anger: "I know, except for the Minister of War, who has the courage and power to propose it. Whoever proposes it is a transcendence."
He said it as if he knew everything. He muttered.
Qiu Ji's expression remained unchanged, still with a little confidence, confidence, and earnestness: "Can the Minister of War often go to the Taiwei's Mansion?" He threw out this sentence and looked at Xin Xiran with some meaning.
Xin Xiran was slightly stunned, his mind was clear in an instant, and his expression was suddenly clear. It turned out that this was the case. After spending so much time, it turned out that it was like this. This is the purpose of Qiu Ji looking for him. No wonder.
Yes, the Minister of War has a good relationship with the old man and often comes to the mansion. This seems normal to Xin Xiran. The Grand Marshal is a military officer, and the Minister of War who is in charge of the Ministry of War is naturally closer to him. He can't talk about the way of using military forces with a group of civil officials.
Xin Xiran disagreed, but Qiu Ji knew that the Ministry of War was actually under the control of Xin Zhongqiao. Therefore, there were both civil and military officials and many of them, and Xin Zhongqiao must know who they were.
"Look at the following people, they are all born to their parents, just because you have a powerful father, so you have endless wealth and honor, and you don't have to worry about any policies of the court.
But they are different. Any decision in the court may determine the life and death of these people. Do you know that their survival is not easy now. If taxes are increased, it is tantamount to taking their lives."
Qiu Ji's sincere love is truly full of emotion than ever before. Although Xin Xiran was touched, what really made him feel moved was the thought of his half-month experience.
He had eaten those sufferings, was kicked, beaten and insulted, starved and frozen without dignity. If he hadn't deliberately degenerated because of his own blame, how could he have been suffering in that environment?
