Song Qiqiu was full of old qualifications. When Li Hongji's grandfather became emperor, he was the prime minister of the regent. After Li Jing ascended the throne, Song Qiqiu still held great power and had many followers under his command. That is, the southern scholars who were mainly from him excluded Han Xizai and other northern scholars and engaged in party-to-party attacks.

Just after Li Hongji seized the throne, Song Qiqiu's men even clamored, hoping to make him the regent, which annoyed Li Hongji. He directly dismissed Song Qiqiu's official position and was worried that he would return to his hometown, so he just kept in Jinling and took care of him.

However, Song Qiqiu's tree has deep roots. Even if he loses his official position, he still has strong appeal. Especially among the scholars in the south, he responds to it. Li Hongji has no good idea to do it, so he can only wait for the old guy to die.

But who knew that Song Qiqiu lived a tough life. He was already seventy-three this year, and he was still as loud as a bell, full of energy!

"Mr. Chen, you also know that I have no son. In the early years, I adopted a child from my younger brother, and that was Song Xun. After a hundred years, I would ask him to carry a banner and throw a basin for me!"

Chen Qiao was promoted by Song Qiqiu in his early years and was respectful to the old seniors.

"The old country's Duke is highly respected and respected by everyone. It is logical that young people should follow the old country's Duke's wishes. However, when the two armies confront each other, the law enforcement must be strictly enforced, otherwise how can they shock people, and how can they command the military, civilians and fight against the powerful enemy together!"

Song Qiqiu raised his brow, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Chen is deeply trusted by His Majesty and is in charge of all affairs in the capital. I am just confused and talking nonsense. Please don't be surprised and say goodbye."

After saying that, Song Qiqiu got up and left, Chen Qiao was coming to see him off, but he didn't know that the old man was leaving quite quickly. When Chen Qiao chased him to the second door, the old man had already gotten up and carried him away and left directly.

Chen Qiao was very unhappy. Song Qiqiu was deeply favored by the emperor. Why was he so confused that he couldn't even tell the difference between priorities? Chen Qiao sat down for a while and decisively ordered that Song Xun be severely punished, and he would never be polite.

Before his order was over, someone came to deliver a letter, saying that some people in the city went to the yamen to report it, and some people participated in smuggling, and the amount was even larger than Song Xun!

Chen Qiao's head buzzed, and he had no reason to ignore it.

He had to ask for the people's case. When he saw it, he sweated. It turned out that all the people involved in the case had a deep background, including the brother of the general Zhu Lingyun and the younger brother of the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor... and the last letter was actually the uncle of the current dynasty.

Chen Qiao seemed to have been beaten several times, and Venus appeared in front of her.

What a great Song Qiqiu. This old man must have known this long ago. When he came to see him, he gave an ultimatum. If he didn't let anyone go, I would just lift everything up. I will see if you check it or not, and whether you can do it?

"This, are these people involved?"

Chen Qiao's voice trembled and she couldn't believe it.

But his subordinates said bitterly: "My husband, the green salt from the original state has never been broken in the past few years, as well as silk, iron tools, livestock, and various businesses. Almost no one in the big family in the capital is clean!"

"oops!"

Chen Qiao completely ignored her, what should I do?

Investigate or not, or do not do it?

If the goods from the Great Zhou Dynasty enter the city, people's hearts are dispersed, morale is exhausted, and the war will be impossible.

manage!

Which one can the powerful people in the court move?

It's just a life-threatening one!

Chen Qiao was so worried that he was walking back and forth on the ground. He suddenly remembered Zhang Feng. If this young man was by his side, he could still talk to him and see what he thought, but he had left and there were no two people discussing.

After Chen Qiao thought about it, he came up with a plan to do both sides. He still had to investigate and to prevent smuggling. However, the person was temporarily detained in the Ministry of Justice. He asked Li Hongji for the imperial edict and obeyed the emperor's will.

This can not only shock people and block the mouths of Song Qiqiu and others. It would be better... "Hahaha, such a fool can actually steal the position. In comparison, which of our political affairs hall can be called a virtuous prime minister!"

Ye Hua said with a smile, and in his hand, he was holding a copy of Chen Qiao’s memorial to Li Hongji!

If you want to smuggle and get rich, can you not bring out something to exchange for it?

What's more, the people in Jinling City all wanted to prepare a way out for themselves and were willing to show goodwill to the Great Zhou. Therefore, Ye Hua even knew the content of the memorial in advance than Li Hongji.

Ye Hua couldn't even think about how angry Li Hongji should be after seeing the memorial!

This Chen Qiao is simply weird. He actually uses the methods of dealing with government affairs in daily life to deal with wartime affairs. His mind is simply terrible!

He can ignore it and default to smuggling the black market, and even stockpile more salt in case of emergency needs. He can also make a decisive move, kill one to warn a hundred, and prevent collusion between inside and outside.

Both methods are OK, but you can't delay it. Please decide! I think it's so good. It takes at least three or four days to go back and forth. The battlefield changes rapidly. Who will delay you?

"Siege the city!"

Ye Hua ordered without hesitation.

After some tests, Ye Hua had already seen that Chen Qiao was much worse than he thought, and it could not be said to be worth mentioning. Even if there was a group of lions in Jinling City, it would be useless to have a sheep-like leader.

After Yang Ye received the order, he was overjoyed.

He immediately mobilized 200 bed crossbows and used tinder oil to burn down the defenders' wooden bamboo walls, causing serious losses to the defenders.

Then Yang Ye selected warriors and attacked in batches. It took more than a day to occupy Yuhuatai and seize the commanding heights. Jinling City was already at the foot of Dazhou.

Yang Ye didn't even expect that the battle would be so smooth, what were the people in the city thinking? Are they no longer soldiers, or do they not know the importance of Yuhuatai? How could they be so careless?

Yang Ye was a little confused when he won.

Ye Hua had a clear understanding of everything, "Chen Qiao didn't dare to fight hard with us outside. He shrank all his troops into Jinling, relied on the city wall to defend himself, and waited for reinforcements."

Yang Ye shook his head when he heard this, "There are at least 80,000 troops in Jinling City. They dare not fight, and they can still count on reinforcements to fight with us? How many people can rescue them? They don't believe in their own strength, but put their destiny on others. I think the people in the city are simply confused!"

Ye Hua smiled and said nothing. Isn’t this style a common problem for many civil servants?

There is anything to be surprised about.

"Yang Ye, now you are commanding your troops to attack various city gates in Jinling. Remember, don't attack forcibly, just lively!"

Yang Ye understood it, "The Marquis wants to scare the people inside!"

"That's right, since there is not even a brave person in the city, as long as we try the pressure, there will inevitably be changes in the city!" Ye Hua said confidently. It seems that he really has the hope of entering the city before Chai Rong.

Just when Ye Hua took the Yuhua Platform, Li Hongji finally got Chen Qiao's memorial.

After just taking a look, Li Hongji's pupils were filled with blood.

anger!

Total anger!

"Chen Qiao, Chen Qiao, you are a waste!" Li Hongji cursed, "I asked you to stay and grant you the right to make decisions on the spot. Even if you have to worry about such a small matter, what's the use for you?"

Li Hongji was too lazy to talk nonsense. He called Xu Xuan over and gave the Emperor's Sword to Xu Xuan, and said decisively: "Oh, I have no eyes and used the wrong food! Xu Qing, now you are the only one who returns to Jinling immediately and stabilizes the rear for me."

Xu Xuan looked grim, "Your Majesty's order, the old minister dared not disobey. It was just that Changzhou was lost and Zhou soldiers were closed to the capital. The old minister could only protect the capital, but there was no way to defeat the enemy!"

Li Hongji took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Oh, I shouldn't have come to Jiangbei. I personally supervised the army, maybe I can destroy Ye Hua first!"

Li Hongji gritted his teeth and saw through it. Ye Hua was even more difficult than weeds. He spread a large area without any warning. He had nothing to do not long ago, but he had to play tricks. It was really hateful!

It's too late to say anything now, and there's no turning back when you shoot the bow. Now it's just worse.

Fight!

"Xu Qing, don't worry about going back. I will immediately supervise the troops and fight Guo Rong to the death. As long as I win, I will return to the army immediately and destroy Ye Hua together!"

Xu Xuan was stunned. He felt a strong uneasy and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Guo Rong has been in the army for a long time. He should not underestimate the enemy!"
