Do you think that's the end?

After Nanyang learned of all this, it still did not punish anyone. Instead, at Yuwen Xuzhong's suggestion, the provincial government officially sent a document to Chang'an through Wuguan, asking Qu Duan to come over to report on his position and explain the two matters.

As a result, Qu Duan turned a deaf ear to him and cried directly to the elders of Chang'an, saying that he was loyal to his country, but ended up arousing suspicion from the villains in the central government. After crying, he submitted a note to Emperor Zhao, probably inviting the emperor to visit Chang'an and then entrust the military and national affairs to him. After ten years of management, he would be able to lead an army of 200,000 to recover the Central Plains, recover Hebei, and welcome back the two emperors!

After submitting the letter, he led his team directly to Yan'an in northern Shaanxi to take up his post, without paying any attention to the documents from the central government.

Now, everyone in the central government was disgusted by him, and even Emperor Zhao wanted to tear him apart... Because Zhao Jiu got accurate information that before this guy left, he cried to the people of Chang'an and wrote a poem on a pillar in a pavilion outside the city. The poem contained these two lines.

So-called:

Instead of going to Guanzhong to build a career, he came to the river to fish.

There is no need to say more about what this is about or who is being mocked, and Emperor Zhao is not in the habit of not getting angry when someone points at his nose and scolds him.

But the problem was that Qu Duan led his troops directly northward, and the central government had no way to do anything about him.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Xu Jingheng talked for a long time. Although Xu Jingheng, the hardliner, won because Qu Da did something disgusting, after his victory, Xu Xianggong didn't know how to deal with this person for a while.

"Remove him from his post as governor of Yan'an Prefecture!" Xu Jingheng thought for a long time before coming up with a plan. "Add a defense envoy for Yao County..."

"No." Emperor Zhao immediately denied it. "It's already autumn, the Jin army can come at any time, Chang'an is in ruins and can't be defended at all, but Yan'an Prefecture will bear the brunt of the attack, so it can be defended... If we dismiss him as the prefect of Yan'an, he might not even dare to defend Yan'an."

Xu Jingheng rarely gets depressed.

"Someone must be in charge of Guanzhong. Who will go to Guanzhong?" Zhao Jiu paused for a moment and made a last effort.

Everyone looked at each other, and then recommended candidates. However, as Yuwen Xuzhong and Minister of Works Lu Yihao took the initiative to volunteer, the others stopped recommending. After all, no one could compete with these two... However, facing these two candidates, Emperor Zhao was still a little hesitant.

It should be noted that the importance of Guanzhong is unquestionable, but the problem is that these two people may not be able to control the situation.

For example, Lu Yihao was the oldest and most experienced man in the palace, even far superior to several ministers. However, when he was in charge of Hebei in the past, he was captured by the Jin people, which seemed to prove his incompetence in his position.

For example, Yuwen Xuzhong was the prime minister and had been dealing with Guanxi affairs. He seemed to be the most suitable candidate, but Emperor Zhao had known him for a long time and knew that he was a weak person. In fact, Yuwen Xuzhong's firm anti-Jin stance and his courage to take on tasks were not so much a sense of mission as a sense of guilt as an envoy to the Jin during the Jingkang period.

But, this one isn’t okay, that one isn’t suitable, so who should go?

In the silence, Yang Yizhong came out of the hall without paying attention to etiquette, and then passed Lan Gui to hand over a note in public. Emperor Zhao made up his mind: "Yuwen Qing will be promoted to Jiedushi, and he will go to Guanzhong and Shaanxi as an envoy today to pacify the various routes. Lu Qing will be promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and envoys will be sent to Tokyo, Yangzhou, Chengdu, Shanzhou, Nanjing, Ruyang, and Chuzhou to let the garrisons, governors, and Jiedushis in various places speed up and carefully prepare, and then reiterate their respective arbitrary powers."

Yuwen Xuzhong and Lu Yihao were about to respond, and the new Chief Censor Hu Mingzhong was even ready to impeach Yang Yizhong, but after hearing what came next, they suddenly came to their senses and then the whole hall fell silent - it was obvious that the war had started again.

But the imperial court had only been in Nanyang for less than four months...it was too difficult!
