Yuan Xiu was very satisfied with Zhao Cheng's performance.
The more Zhao Cheng looks like a sycophant and a bitch, the more Yuan Xiu feels relieved.
He would rather Zhao Cheng be that kind of treacherous villain than Zhao Cheng second to Zhao Huan.
"Chen Changyun is right, Zhao Cheng doesn't look like Zhao Huan's biological son." Yuan Xiu thought in his heart, but said: "Go home and live a good life with the eldest princess. When there is a suitable opportunity, I will find out."
Use you."
"Your Majesty, if there is a small matter where I need it, I will definitely handle it. If it's a big matter... I'm not capable enough, and I don't want to be a high official. But don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Cheng patted his chest and said boldly: "My brother-in-law is here to ensure that there is no place for Southern Zhou spies in Yanchuan City and Jingdong County!"
Yuan Xiu's face, which had just recovered, darkened again, and he reminded: "You and the eldest princess are not married yet."
"Ah...yes! I'm not my brother-in-law yet, hahaha!"
Yuan Xiu snorted and said, "I made a mistake just now. Your mouth is not only coquettish, but also mean and coquettish!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!!" Zhao Cheng bowed deeply.
…
Zuo Xiangfu.
In the main seat in the lobby, Wen Tai sat on the left, Wang Ren sat on the right, Yu Changsi, Wen Hu, Wang Yuluan and Du Xuhe took their seats in sequence.
The maids were serving tea and fruits, and everyone had been talking for a while.
There was a woman standing behind Wen Hu. She was not a maid serving tea and water. Although she looked ordinary, she had a cold temperament, which made Wang Yuluan glance at her from time to time.
Wen Hu noticed Wang Yuluan's eyes and smiled without saying a word.
This woman was brought back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion by Luo Ying. The Wenhu was quite satisfied with her after inspecting her. She was Liu Ling, a new member of the Five Evil Stars of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wen Tai looked outside the door, where a large mulberry tree facing the door was bathing in the sun.
He looked relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood, and said: "General Wang, what do you think of the situation in Mobei?"
Wang Ren thought for a while and said: "Although the remnants of the Yedan royal family have fled into the snowy mountains in the northwest, Yedan's original land has been devastated, and many people have been displaced and become refugees. Most of the refugees are willing to be
I have made peace with Dajing, but there are still some wolf cubs who refuse to accept enlightenment and become mobs to harm one side, and some even become self-reliant."
"So I think we still have to fight!" Wang Ren said excitedly: "Since it is our country of Dajing, we cannot allow them to do whatever they want! These mobs are also a scourge if they are left alive. If they are washed with blood, they will naturally become quiet!
"
Wen Tai asked: "In your opinion, how long does it take to fight?"
Wang Ren said confidently: "As long as your Majesty sends me there, I will be able to stabilize Mobei in less than half a year!"
"General Wang is so powerful!" Wen Tai said with a smile: "Sure enough, he won a great victory and became a general again. Even his aura is different."
Seeing Wen Tai's smile, Wang Ren stopped talking. He knew Wen Tai's temper. These words sounded like compliments, but they may not be sincere.
Wen Tai snorted softly and said: "General Wang, please have tea."
"Yes..." Wang Ren quickly picked up the tea cup.
Wen Tai continued: "Your Majesty is anxious to form an alliance with the Southern Zhou Dynasty in order to avoid another war. The national treasury cannot afford it now. I know what you are thinking. Your Majesty only promoted you to an official position but did not make you a knight. You are not satisfied, so you
Be anxious and make meritorious deeds."
Wang Ren was so frightened that he stood up immediately, bowed to Wen Tai and clasped his fists: "General, I don't dare! I proposed a bloodbath in Mobei because I wholeheartedly serve the stability of Mobei!"
Wen Tai waved his hand and said: "As members of our own family, there is no need to hide what we say, and you don't have to explain it to me."
Yu Changsi stood up, helped Wang Ren sit down, and said with a smile: "General Wang, Prime Minister Zuo was right to ask you not to attack Mobei."
Wang Ren said: "I don't understand."
"There are three reasons."
Yu Changsi said patiently: "First, you have been promoted too quickly. If you make great achievements again, even if His Majesty gives you a title, won't it be hot for you to hold it?"
Wang Ren looked stern.
"Secondly, we should not make decisions that are contrary to His Majesty's wishes. It is also inconsistent with national policy to launch a large-scale war."
"Thirdly, these mobs in Mobei are just a mob without a backbone. They are killing each other in order to compete for resources and territory. Then give them some time and let them consume themselves. Wouldn't it be better for us to just reap the benefits?"
Wang Ren's mind was spinning rapidly and he nodded involuntarily.
Wen Tai then answered: "What I mean is to suggest that Your Majesty slow down the pace of expansion. First, only the area adjacent to the north will be included in the territory of Dajing, and the three counties of New Taipei will be established. When the situation in the three counties of New Taipei is stabilized, the people will truly return home.
After that, go north and take a look at it slowly."
"During this period, the three counties of New Taipei Province need someone who is decisive and knowledgeable about the local situation. Who would be more suitable for you than General Wang?"
"You destroyed Ye Dan, which is a military achievement, but you still lack political achievements. I will send you to be the governor of three counties and wait for a year and a half. As long as there is no big trouble, you will have political achievements and qualifications. By then, you will be awarded titles and so on.
Isn’t it a matter of course?”
Hearing this, Wang Ren's eyes lit up, he stood up again, clasped his fists at Wen Tai, and said loudly: "Prime Minister Zuo has far-sighted plans and a vast future. I, Wang Ren, am grateful to Prime Minister Zuo!!"
Wen Tai pressed his hand and asked: "If you have no objection, this matter will be settled like this?"
Wang Ren immediately said: "I have absolutely no objection!"
As he said this, Wang Ren glanced at Wang Yuluan and saw his son walking out with Wen Hu.
He said: "I want to take my son with me. He has been made a general now and needs to be tempered."
"It's up to you." Wen Tai said calmly: "If you can take charge of the three counties, you will need your own team. This is also a good opportunity for you to train your own people."
Wang Ren shook his head and said: "Personnel arrangements are entirely up to the left prime minister!"
Wen Tai smiled, touched the tea cup lightly with his fingers, and said, "Drink tea."
After a conversation, Wen Tai was very satisfied with Wang Ren's attitude. Even though the other party was now a general, he still remained the same.
Especially regarding the personnel arrangements in Mobei, if Wang Ren really takes it as he is told, Wen Tai will have other ideas.
He knows current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and he is also good at fighting.
Wen Tai commented on Wang Ren, thinking that he was not wrong about the person at first.
Outside the door, Wang Yuluan was called out by the cultural guard with a wink, and asked: "What's the matter, Mr. Shaxian?"
Wen Hu turned around and glanced at Liu Ling in the lobby, and asked: "Is the young general interested in the woman behind me?"
Wang Yuluan was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Don't dare! It's just that I and Shaxian Bo were sitting opposite each other, and she, she, she... always appeared in my sight, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances!
"
Wen Hu smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. If the young general really likes you, I can introduce him to you."
"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later..." Wang Yuluan didn't dare to be rash and changed the subject: "Uncle Shaxian asked me to come out. Isn't it because of the affair?"
"Um……"
Wen Hu put his hands behind his back and took a step forward. He looked into the distance and said, "Now that your father has become a general, you have also been given the title of baron. The Wang family is no longer the small family in Yanchuan City. The general has been destroyed."
Ye Dan, the young general beat up the prince of Southern Zhou, and now you Wang family and his son have both fame and fortune, are deeply loved by the people, and are a hit!"
"This is a perfect opportunity at this time!"
Wen Hu turned around, stared at Wang Yuluan and asked, "You haven't forgotten your brother's blood feud, have you?"
