The question that is now confusing is whether Gao Yue is short of food or not?

If the fact is the former, he would still dare to take the risk of attacking Funing. At this time, as long as Dou Shen and Liu Xuanzuo remained unmoved, they would be fine when Gao Yue's grain was exhausted.

But Gao Yue is definitely not such a stupid person.

If it were the latter, Gao Yue came to sue for the shortage of food on purpose, which was this a provocation to him or something else was there?

Soon after, the Duzhi Secretary Pei Yanling came and suggested to Dou Shen, "This matter is not true. You can ask Liu Situ to lead the army to Funing Village with the military rations, and there is no need to go to Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Capital. After seeing Gao Yue's actual situation, if Gao Yue has food, he would ask Situ to seize the merits of Funing Village. Gao Yue would be powerless and acted when he saw the opportunity. If Gao Yue had no food, he would be more decisive and arrest Gao Yue in the charity for his crime of collusion with Tan Zhizhong."

"Take the stern car to the capital?"

Pei Yanling said, "No, the Holy Lord is here, Gao Yue will never be guilty. The Zhonglang immediately left to seize Taiyuan and arrest Gao Yue. He should send him to Taiyuan. He will be charged on the spot and kill him!"

Dou Shen was shocked: "Gao Yue is the governor of Fangzhen. Even a mere county lieutenant in Tang had to be repeatedly reviewed three times, and the final approval of the Holy Lord could only be executed."

"Zhonglang, now that things have come to this point, he has to do everything. If the Holy Lord is in charge, Gao Yue will be slacked off as the governor. Two or three years later, maybe the Holy Lord will be amazed and summoned him back to the court again. Zhonglang is still in danger. Now Gao Yue is arbitrarily attacking Funing and is good at raising wars. This is a death sentence. Zhonglang, you are the ambassador to deal with Xuanwei, so why don't you have such power? As long as you kill Gao Yue, Dingwu, and Yining the two armies scattered, who can stop Zhonglang in this world?"

Dou Shen wanted to do it decisively according to Pei's suggestion, but he couldn't help it. While he was thinking, Guo Zhuang, the head of the City Supervision Bureau and the Jinwu Zheng, suddenly appeared and asked to see Dou Shen.

"Shunter save me." When Guo Dun saw Dou Shen, he burst into tears and said that he was also targeted by the Censorate. Because he had a close relationship with Privy Councilor Yin Zhizhen, "As long as Zhonglang is willing to talk to me about Xiang Yi Er, the entire city patrol will follow the head of the Zhonglang horse from then on."

Dou Shen hurriedly helped Guo Zhuan up and said, "Why should the magistrate do this?" This Zhonglang is not worried about you at all, but he is even more worried about the son!"

Guo Zhuan looked surprised and said that he would ask the Zhonglang to make a clear statement.

"Whose camp is now in Zaizhen?" Dou Shen asked back.

Guo Zhuang then suddenly realized and cried, "I saw Gao Yuefei becoming successful, and I thought that the chicken could not be placed in a bamboo basket, but who would have thought that I, the Central Army, could only help me, have this little bit of bones and blood." After that, Guo Zhuang couldn't kowtow to Dou Shen.

"Zaizhen came this time and would ask for five thousand stones of military rations for Gao Yue. If Gao Yue got this batch of food and contradicted the order to capture Funing Village, then Zaizhen's sin would be even greater. It would be impossible to get rid of it even if it was really not necessary." Dou Shen asked tentatively.

As a result, the next day, Guo Zhuan rushed to Baqiao Post. His son Guo Zaizhen was just leading a horse and was about to rush back to Funing City. At this time, he was caught by me and beaten with a horse whip. "I am the fourth-rank Wusan official of the court. Even if you are my father, you can't beat me." Guo Zaizhen hugged the stable in front of the stable and resisted hard.

"Fourth grade, what kind of dog feet, the fourth grade, you will be a miserable person soon. Do you know? You still need 5,000 stones of grain to give to the military army. You are ready to take on the charge of being good at promoting the military!" Guo Zhuan crawled all over the ground with a whip, gritted his teeth and cursed.

The whole stable room was filled with the whip wind from Guo Zhuan, and the grass was flying around.

"What's the crime of being good at promoting? Isn't Mr. Qi still the chief of the Imperial Camp? I sent me this time and said that the Holy Lord asked Xuanwu Army to come to protect Da, Jingsai and other troops, and should attack Funing and escort military rations." As a result, Guo Zaizhen shouted like this.

"Gao Yue is lying to the entire army. Maybe his military rations have really come to an end, so let Liu Xuanzuo go to Funing." When Guo Zaizhen's words reached Dou Shen's ears, this person no longer hesitated and made a quick decision.

At the same time, Dou Shen himself is also preparing to leave Taiyuan.

However, before leaving, he was still a little uneasy.

So he instructed the two clans Dou Shen and Dou Rong to immediately strengthen the alliance with Li Zezhi, Yu Gongyi, Wu Tongxuan, Wu Tongwei and other party members, and of course there were also people like Liu Xuanzuo.

Finally, Dou Shen made a decision. Wu Tongxuan took Li Ze's niece as his concubine, and Wu Tongwei's sister married Liu Xuanzuo as his concubine. At the same time, Dou Shen also promised Gong Yi that as soon as the spring exam was released, he would find a difficult point to let Zheng Zi finish his life, and you would be discharged from the hospital and replace him as the Minister of Rites for the examination.

Yu Gongyi was also flattered and said to Dou Shen that you, Mr. Lang, are the Minister of Personnel, such tribute, election, bachelor's academy, imperial guards, constitutional ranks, and southern provincial government offices are all in our hands!

Dou Shen was extremely arrogant and did what he said. Within two days, he threatened Dong Jin, the only servant minister, to ask for the position of Minister of Personnel for himself in front of the emperor.

Dong Jin was timid and afraid of things, so he could only find the emperor. He talked for a long time and turned around. Then he said that Dou Shen was young and promising, and had made contributions to Xifan before. I thought he could be allowed to advance to the next level and become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The emperor smiled and said to Dong Jin, this should be what Dou asked Qing to come, right?

Dong Jin was embarrassed and could only bite the bullet and admit that it was indeed the case.

The emperor knew that Dong Jin was just a "prime minister with food". He was cowardly and incompetent, so it was not difficult for him to do anything. Instead, he said generously: "You have the intention of selecting wise men, and I am very relieved. Dou Shen is the Minister of Personnel."

After agreeing, the emperor called Dong Jin again, and then said to him sincerely: "You have sent me a message to Dou Zhonglang, saying that Yang Yan could not control his wife and children at the beginning, and eventually died, so that Dou Zhonglang could see the lessons of the past. I heard that his clan had a nickname called "Magpie", which means that as long as he got his blue eyes, he would be happy in his official career. I think this nickname is really indecent. The Minister of Personnel is also called Tianguan. I hope Dou Xique will not do anything wrong during his tenure."

Dong Jin was so scared that he didn't dare to neglect, so he went to pass the message and persuaded Dou Shen who was about to set off.

Dou Shen was also worried that the emperor would catch the magpies, so he called the two clans, saying that you both should be successful. In the past, the official position was minor and not old. It was understandable that the young man was a little unruly. Now Shen'er, you are in the Ministry of Personnel, Rong'er, you are in the Censorate, and all of them are prominent. But you must be restrained, be cautious and diligent. When I succeed in Taiyuan, the overall situation will be settled.

Dou Shen and Dou Rong both promised their clan father very seriously that they would definitely restrain themselves.

After the explanation, Li Zezhi was in charge of the Shenwei Army in the capital, Dou Shen was relieved and went to Pujin to prepare to cross the Yellow River to Taiyuan.

At this time, news from Liu Xuanzuo came:

Xuanwu Army has arrived in Yanzhou City.

Dai Xiuzhi and Wu Xianfu came to meet Liu Xuanzuo, and said that Jingsai Army and Bao Dajun had no food at present. Please ask Situ to reconcile the Duzhi Division and allocate military rations as soon as possible. We are willing to follow Situ to Funing Village.

Liu Xuanzuo asked the Duzhi Department to send 40,000 stones of grain.

As a result, Dai and Wu Gang got the batch of grain and secretly summoned merchants from Hedong and Bining to sell them 10,000 stones. Then the merchants hired some people to smuggle and sell them privately in Gaoyue Camp in Funing.
