Chapter 11: Sending the Sun and the Moon Elegantly



Even so, Qu Da was still unconvinced, and kept on saying annoying things...One moment he said, 'I know, you, Wu Jie, want to get rid of me, so that you can take charge of the military power in Guanxi'; the next moment he said, 'This Zhongcheng sent me away, and if I stay here, I'm afraid I will destroy the elite troops in Guanxi given his ignorance of military affairs'.

When Wu Lin pushed him out, he still looked up and sighed: "It's a pity that I, Qu Da, had such a heart to serve my country, but was harmed by such a villain!"

Finally, he even remembered to send another horse to Wu Lin!

Let's not talk about how this person was being naughty and unyielding. When the rebellion was quelled, Hu Yin, Wanqi Xie, along with Magistrate Huang, Commander Han, and their former entourage, were released from prison. Then, Hu and Wanqi were arranged to bathe in a separate courtyard. Seeing that there was no one else around, Wanqi Xie finally couldn't help himself:

"The chancellor shouldn't have let this fellow control his words and let him go. Just based on the arrogant remarks made by this man in prison, even the Wu brothers are angry. Let's kill him."

"It's not that I was controlled by his words, but when I was furious, I felt that there was some twisted logic in what he said." Hu Mingzhong was able to get out of jail, and he also relied on Wu Jie to deal with Qu Duan, but he was still unhappy. "Besides, as a minister who was ordered by the emperor to inspect the country, I shouldn't use the emperor's authority for personal gain... After all, this man has made great contributions and is the best general in Guanxi. I always feel it's a pity to kill him. It's better to let the government discipline him."

"Whatever." Wanqi Xie shook his head and sighed. "Let's take him back to Tokyo first... But what about Kansai? Does the Minister think Wu Jie is useful?"

"Wu Jie is certainly available." Hu Yin answered casually, then suddenly stopped. "Wanqi, I would like to trouble you to take this man back to Tokyo to take orders. I will not go."

Wanqi Xie also stopped in astonishment, dumbfounded: "What does Zhongcheng mean? What do you mean by 'not going'?"

"To be honest with you, Brother Wanqi, when I traveled this time, I saw the broken mountains and rivers, and I felt the same emotions as Du Gongbu who left the capital during the An-Shi Rebellion, but I just regretted that I didn't have the literary talent of an official to express my feelings." Hu Yin said seriously. "And when I felt that way, I wanted to be appointed to a post outside the capital... I felt that being a prefect or staying in Guanxi as a clerk was better than standing in the court of Tokyo!"

Wanqi Xie wanted to say something but stopped himself.

It is said that when a dignified Yushi Zhongcheng was sent out to a town, it was impossible for him to be just a clerk, or even just a prefect... What a joke? Even a waste like Wang Xie was the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, even a domineering person like Qu Duan was the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, and even Wu Jie, who was below Qu Duan, was the prefect of Huaide Army. How could Hu Yin be on the same level as these people? Therefore, since he was asked to stay in the post outside this time, at least he would replace Wang Shu as the general manager, and at most he might even replace Yuwen Xuzhong to take up important tasks such as staying in Chang'an.

But what does this have to do with him?

"I will write a letter about the reasons and what happened today. I will only say a few words. I would like to ask General Wanqi to present it to the emperor on my behalf... I will say that Hu Yin knows that the overall situation of the court's anti-Jin war is now unshakable. He is not only useless in the court, but also repeatedly hinders the court's major policies because of his pedantry. Once he is posted outside, Hu Yin also knows that he does not understand military affairs, so he will never act on his own. In terms of military affairs, he will only listen to the words of veteran generals... Please give me a chance." As he said this, Hu Mingzhong, wearing a dirty middle-class shirt, bowed heavily to Wanqi Xie, who was also in a mess in the courtyard. "No matter what, after Jingkang, Hu Yin's heart to serve the country and his determination to break off with the Jin people have never wavered."

For some reason, when facing the other party, Wanqi Xie actually felt a rare panic in his heart... and the last time he was so panicked was when he carried the dragon flag and followed Emperor Zhao out of Nanyang at night.

If you calculate the time, it was only three or four months ago.
