Under the gaze of everyone in Lingyan Pavilion, after Meng Zifei slowly said this taboo name, the atmosphere in Zhou Za almost froze. https://
Several important ministers looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Mr. Xun with unpredictable expressions. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, lest they accidentally get into trouble.
It should be noted that Wen Yuanming's identity was extremely sensitive at this time. The regent Xun Shao had never concealed his dissatisfaction with the old master, and few civil and military officials in the court knew about it.
Meng Zifei recommended this person at this time. No matter what the considerations were, his courage alone was enough to impress the important ministers.
"Wen Yuanming!" Mr. Xun's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. He suddenly tapped the long case with his fingertips, and a wave of anger was about to break out in his heart.
But looking at Meng Zifei, who was standing straight at the processor in the hall, with a solemn expression on his face, most of the anger in his heart dissipated for some reason.
Immediately, Mr. Xun shook his head nonchalantly, without commenting on Meng Zifei's recommendation, and asked several important ministers: "I don't know if there are any candidates who have not been mentioned. Let's make a pre-trial review and let's go over the details together."
?”
"this……"
The regent's attitude was ambiguous, which made it difficult for several important ministers to understand. These people looked confused and looked at each other, completely helpless.
Seeing that none of the ministers dared to express their opinions outright because of fear, Mr. Xun felt both happy and worried in his heart.
What's "happy" is that his authority has just been established, and he already has the authority that all ministers can bow to. There are no voices of dissatisfaction in the Lu Kingdom.
"Worry" means that he is so authoritative that the important ministers are concerned about his attitude and dare not express it outright. The so-called "loyalty" that is offensive to the ears is precisely because it is offensive to the ears, so that we can see the loyalty of the ministers.
Blindly echoing others' opinions will only do bad things, which will be the heaviest blow to Mr. Xun who aspires to the world.
Of course, for a king of a country, there is nothing wrong with one person's prestige making the ministers look up. But everything is too much, and if the ministers are afraid of the king and ignore the military affairs of a country, it will only hurt the princes and the country.
It misleads the common people.
Mr. Xun was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You can just say what you want without any worries!"
However, even if Mr.
It should be noted that the relationship between this is very important. Wen Yuanming has experienced four dynasties and has a very high prestige among the people of Lu State. The regent has always been afraid of Wen Yuanming's power.
If it weren't for the Taoist Shangqing Palace behind Wen Yuanming, it would be a huge thing that cannot be ignored, and people would have to be a little afraid. I am afraid that Wen Yuanming would have died long ago, and not even much bones would be left.
Now that Wen Yuanming was able to escape, it was also because Mr. Xun was trapped in the affairs of Lu State, and the civil strife between Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang had not yet been settled, and they were unable to deal with it for a while, so Wen Yuanming had a moment of leisure.
However, this does not mean that Mr. Xun has no grudges and no desire to settle scores.
Of course, given Si Kou Meng Zifei's character, his recommendation may have no selfish motives. It was just to allow Wen Yuanming to take control of the military again, which was undoubtedly a gamble for Mr. Xun, the regent.
After all, the relationship between the old master and Mr.
Going down, it is not impossible for the two of them to meet each other in battle.
However, the officials in the government and the public have always been aware that Wen Yuanming, an old master, has a profound background and is not an easy person to deal with. For such a person, temporary success or failure is just a matter of success, as long as he is not truly eliminated.
, it will always be a barb buried in the flesh. If it is not pulled out, it will be buried in the flesh forever. Even if it is pulled out forcibly, it will inevitably bring a little bloodshot and leave a scar that is difficult to erase.
The appointment and handling of such people should never be taken lightly.
Although Mr. Xun has deliberately reduced Wen Yuanming's influence since he took office as regent. Wen Yuanming is also very knowledgeable and entrusts military power to his hands, but Wen Yuanming's potential power in both the government and the public is still extremely huge.
.
If Wen Yuanming gets help out of thin air, who knows if he can take advantage of it and ride the wind for ninety thousand miles?
"Regent, apart from Grand Master Wen, there is no truly suitable person in the entire dynasty!" Meng Zifei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the palace.
Faced with the pressure bursting from Mr. Xun's eyes, Meng Zifei said in a deep voice: "Young Master, you have Gong Yuzhao sitting in the army, and Young Master Yang has two elders from the Zheng Kingdom to support you. They are both a hard nut to crack."
"In this case, besides Taishi Wen and Grand Master Fu, who else in our country, Lu, can take on the important task of quelling this civil strife?"
These words struck a vital point, causing Mr. Xun's face to suddenly move.
After the turmoil of the Gong clan, only Xun Taichang, an elder of the Xun clan who was a martial saint, was left. The remaining elders of the martial arts saint level were all lost along with Nanyang Yeting.
Nowadays, in the Lu State, there are only four great martial arts saints: Xun Shao?, Wen Yuanming, Xun Taichang, and Gong Yuzhao.
However, Gong Yuzhao fully supported Gongzi Ze to succeed to the throne, and he can be said to be a die-hard supporter of Gongzi Ze. At the same time, Wen Yuanming and Xun Taichang were not in peak condition. The injuries they sustained in the battle with Wu Shengren reduced their combat capabilities.
Almost fell to the Grand Master level, which requires a lot of energy to cultivate.
At this moment, in the Lu State, only Master Xun can maintain peak combat power. But today is different from the past. Master Xun is related to the safety of the country, and he cannot lead the army personally as he did in the past.
At this time, Wen Yuanming and Xun Taichang, the two martial saints, were of extraordinary importance to Lu State and could even play a role in containing the three major martial saints.
The important ministers present were all wise and understanding people, but Meng Zifei understood a little bit.
Mr. Xun smiled faintly and said, "Grand Master... I can't bear to work so hard for Lu Guo!"
Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of the officials in the palace, Mr. Xun slowly stood up and said, "However, Si Kou's advice is reasonable, and I have learned something."
He looked down at the ministers in the palace, silently watching the surprised expressions on the faces of the important ministers, and a hint of pride quietly appeared on the corners of his mouth.
…………
Wenfu, the waterside pavilion in the inner courtyard!
Since the loss of power in the Wen Mansion, the servants in the mansion have deeply understood what it means to be deserted and sparse in front of the door. The prosperous Wen Mansion in the past has rapidly become depressed both internally and externally since the old master retreated into seclusion and ignored worldly affairs.
With the old master's strict orders, the Wen family members unconsciously kept a low profile during these days, which was very different from the past.
"Master..." I saw a man in soap clothes walking in a hurry. He walked straight into the inner courtyard and saw Si Ziqi sitting in the water pavilion. He quickly knelt down.
Because Wen Yuanming had no children in his life and only had one legitimate daughter alive, Si Ziqi, as the son-in-law of the old master, was naturally the head of the Wen family. At a time when the old master was in seclusion and ignored trivial matters, Si Ziqi deserved to be the head of the Wen family.
The head of the household.
Si Ziqi, who was dressed in plain clothes, glanced at the hurried-looking man in soap clothes and said impatiently: "Why are you in such a panic? The sky still won't fall!"
The man in soap clothes said in a low voice: "Master, we received an urgent message. Someone in the court sent a letter, saying that the regent and the ministers were discussing today. Master Sikou wholeheartedly recommended the old master to take charge of the army. The regent was overjoyed after hearing the advice, and in front of the ministers.
I gave him the honor of being brave enough to speak out, and gave Meng Sikou a generous gift."
"What? A generous gift?" After hearing the news, Si Ziqi was startled and said in surprise: "Then... the regent, did you really say that?"
You know, Master Xun actually rewarded Meng Zifei heavily for the first time. The tendency in this was not concealed at all. This attitude was simply made clear to Wen Yuanming, so that Wen Yuanming knew that Master Xun
?Sincerity at this moment.
The news came so suddenly that Si Ziqi was a little overwhelmed.
The man in soap clothes said solemnly: "Master, this is from the relationship between the DPRK, China and Lao, and it is almost accurate."
"The close chance is almost settled!" Si Ziqi looked happy, his heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and asked: "But why did Sikou recommend the old patriarch?"
The man in soap clothes said: "I'd like to report to the Patriarch, I heard that the situation in the northwest is unfavorable. Young Master, there are martial saints on both sides of the Central and Young Masters. The regent's army has lost its troops and has been unable to move. Therefore, it is necessary to invite the old Patriarch to come out and sit in command for ten years.
The center of the ten thousand army, clearing up the chaos in the northwest."
Wen Yuanming's potential power is huge and terrifying, which can be seen from this. How important is the Lingyan Pavilion discussion between Master Xun and several ministers? It is actually said in the mouth of the man in soap.
The meaning is really mind-numbing.
Hearing this, Si Ziqi sneered again and again and said: "Why has my attitude changed so much? It turns out that the chaos in the northwest requires my father's support, and my father is bleeding and fighting for his country. It seems that if it were not for the constraints of the northwest, my Wen family would be in trouble."
It will be ruined from now on!”
Si Ziqi finally understood Mr. Xun's character, he was selfish to the core.
As long as someone is useful to Mr. Xun, no matter how domineering and domineering he is, Mr. Xun will turn a blind eye to him, greeting him and caring for him in every possible way.
However, once this person is of no use to Mr. Xun, if he is really sensible, it is best to stay away from him with knowledge and knowledge, and don’t let Mr. Xun think of this person. If he thinks he has some achievements, he would dare to
Asking for credit and rewards in front of Mr. Xun, he will die sooner or later without knowing how.
Thinking of this, Si Ziqi sighed unconsciously: "The Regent is such a person. When he needs it, he will show off his attitude. When he is not needed, he will abandon him like a piece of shit!"
An old and majestic voice slowly came from the main room in the inner courtyard. As the door slowly opened, Wen Yuanming stepped out of the house unhurriedly: "Only you can see the temper of our regent.
Come out!"
The old master pushed open the door and said softly: "Being mean and unkind, being able to put down your face and pick up your face, this is the character of a hero."
"Father!" Si Ziqi looked at Wen Yuanming in surprise, especially because Wen Yuanming's aura was as majestic as the ocean, and he seemed much calmer than when he was in seclusion.
"You... what are you..." Si Ziqi looked at the old master in confusion, feeling dumbfounded.
Wen Yuanming smiled lightly and didn't explain too much, everything was said without saying anything.
At that time, the injuries suffered by the old master were indeed very serious, and his combat power had indeed dropped to the bottom. However, based on the accumulation of the old master over the years, he also had one or two rare magical medicines in the treasury, which were enough to restore his own injuries.
Although recovery time is needed during this period, due to the secret transmission of magical powers and mystical skills by the old Taishi, a month or two at most is enough for recovery.
The reason why Wen Yuanming was willing to hand over power was also forced by the situation at that time. If Mr. Xun didn't need his presence, no matter how strong he showed, it would trigger Mr. Xun's strong murderous intention.
The gain outweighs the loss.
It was precisely because he had seen through Mr. Xun's temperament and felt that Mr. Xun was simply a material for the princes that the old master chose to retreat safely instead of fighting to the death with Mr. Xun, completely tearing off the last layer of face.
.
It can be said that the friendship between the king and his ministers has been fulfilled, and a certain amount of affection and leeway have been left.
Although Xun Shangguan and Xun Shao had almost two different ways of dealing with the world, and the two monarchs had different ideas of governing the country. However, the princes were all selfish in nature, and few could escape from this framework.
Moreover, in the opinion of the old master, Master Xun's self-interested nature is beyond imagination, and even Xun Shangguan is not as dangerous as the city that must have Master Xun.
After all, the dangerous city and palace of the ministers is the cause of disaster, and the unpredictable temperament of the monarch is the harbinger of the rise and prosperity of a country.
"Since the regent has decided to use me, if I don't leave the seclusion at this time, how long will it take?" Hearing Yuanming's beard, he said softly: "The country of Lu needs me at this moment, and I have no shirk in my responsibility."
The words of the old master made Si Ziqi fall silent. After a long time, he said dryly: "Is it true that just because he is the regent and the new king of the country, he can kill our family and demote us because of his heart?"
Mr. Xun? One moment he discarded it like a pair of worn-out shoes, and the next moment he cherished it like the apple of his eye. This really gave Si Ziqi a rebellious mind.
Only the old master seemed extremely calm, with a mentality that meant he would not be happy with things or sad with himself. This is only when you have reached the level of Wen Yuanming, and you will deeply understand the truth. A person is not afraid of being taken advantage of by others.
I'm just afraid that it won't be of any use value.
If a person has no use value, don't blame others for throwing him away like a pair of worn out shoes!
Wen Yuanming had a smile on his face and whispered to himself: "This is not a simple matter of life and death, but the regent's royal power."
He glanced at the man in soap clothes and said: "Get ready, I am going to Yeting to meet the regent and ask for a tassel to go to the northwest."
The man in soap clothes retreated silently, leaving Si Ziqi looking at Wen Yuanming in surprise and at a loss for his decision. Although he understood the dangers of Mr. Xun's character, Wen Yuanming felt a sense of appreciation.
Wen Yuanming has experienced four dynasties, including Master Xun? This dynasty is the fifth dynasty. Among the princes that the old master has experienced, in terms of cold and ruthless nature, Master Xun can be said to be the first one.
