The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 125: Face-to-face exchange
As General Wen Ce, Chu Ren was responsible for training soldiers, so he often needed to go to the palace to report to the emperor. The emperor would occasionally visit the military camp, so no one stopped Chu Ren from entering the palace to ask for an audience, and he had a smooth journey.
But when he arrived outside the Zichen Palace, he was stopped by Yao An.
"The Emperor is discussing important matters with the Prime Minister. Please wait for a moment, General."
Chu Ren waited for more than an hour, but the prime minister still hadn't come out, so Yao An went in again to help him find out the situation.
"General Chu Si, the emperor summons you to the palace."
Chu Ren bowed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Yao."
He strode into the hall and found that the prime minister was still negotiating with the emperor, but because he came in, the two of them stopped and looked at him.
Chu Ren knelt down and saluted.
The emperor asked him, "What's the important matter, General Wen Ce?"
"Your Majesty, I have a good friend who is good at observing the current situation in the world. He has some understanding of the war between Nanqi and Daqi. I have written a letter and asked you to present it to Your Majesty to relieve your worries." Chu Ren presented the letter with both hands.
Now Dongfang Shuo and his wife have led the army to Yanzhou City. There is already a commander leading troops to reinforce this battle. The couple has also signed a military order. Although they don't know what the result will be, it has solved the problem facing the emperor for now.
However, in the battle of the southern border, Da Qi faced more than one problem, and the emperor was not only worried about who would lead the reinforcements and who would be the main general to fight against the Nanqi army.
Nanqi and Xirong have good relations and the two countries are friendly states. Therefore, the emperor is still worried that Xirong will send troops to support Nanqi, and then Daqi will be unable to support itself.
The Northern Zhou would also take the opportunity to attack.
How to stop the Western Rong from sending troops to help Nan Qi became the emperor's biggest headache at the moment. After Dongfang Shuo and his wife went on the expedition, he asked the court officials what they thought, but no one answered.
The Prime Minister came to the palace today for this matter.
So far, nothing has been figured out, and the Prime Minister came to the palace just to ease his mind. Now that he heard that there was someone who could solve his worries, he became very curious.
The prime minister stepped forward and took the letter from Chu Ren's hand. He looked at Chu Ren deeply and said, "General Wen Ce, please don't let the emperor down."
Chu Ren didn't want to pay attention to him, and just said: "Please ask Lord Zheng to present this letter to the emperor."
The prime minister turned and walked towards the emperor. As he was about to walk up the not-so-high platform, he was thinking about the power of this letter in his heart.
Previously, I thought that the Third Prince’s wife was from the Zhenbei Marquis’ Mansion, and that the Zhenbei Marquis’ Mansion was powerful, which would be good for the Third Prince.
But now the situation is very different. If Chu Ren is allowed to recommend talents to the court again, the power of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion will become even stronger, which will be extremely unfavorable to the Third Prince and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The emperor must not be allowed to see this letter.
So the prime minister missed his step and fell down the stairs, deliberately hitting his forehead on the steps. When he stopped, his forehead was covered with blood.
He got up from the ground, ignoring the wound on his forehead, holding the letter tightly in both hands, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing that I protected this letter."
The emperor immediately said, "Yao An, call the imperial physician!"
Arriving beside the Prime Minister, the Emperor said, "The Prime Minister is too straightforward. Since this letter was written by someone else, if it is destroyed, just let General Wen Ce ask that person to write another one. Why would you let yourself get hurt so badly just to protect a letter?"
"I fell because I accidentally stepped on an empty step. It is not a pity that I was injured seriously. If the letter was destroyed, it would be my fault."
The emperor took the letter and handed it to Yao An, who took it and put it on the desk together with the memorials.
The emperor was deeply moved by the prime minister's willingness to get injured in order to protect a letter for him, so he decided not to read the letter for the time being. Instead, he went to the inner room with the prime minister and watched the imperial physician treat the prime minister's wound.
During the whole process, Chu Ren watched from the side and did not leave.
After seeing that the prime minister's wound had been treated, he reminded the emperor to read the letter. The emperor then ordered someone to bring the letter and opened it. After reading it, he was greatly disappointed.
As a result, his attitude towards Chu Ren was not good: "His arguments cannot relieve my worries, General Wen Ce, please leave."
Chu Renyuan thought that Xie Lin must have some extraordinary qualities as he had managed to keep the huge Xie Mansion prosperous for many years despite his frail body.
Moreover, Xie Lin has the favor and support of his sister, so he must have real talent and knowledge, but now it seems that he is just so-so.
His sister was going to be disappointed.
Chu Ren didn't know that Xie Lin's letter had been swapped when he and the emperor were watching the prime minister treating his wounds in the inner room.
How come the Prime Minister is so popular with the emperor? He doesn't need to speak, just make a gesture in secret and someone will do things for him.
That night, Zheng Wenkang returned home and unfolded the letter written by Xie Lin, his eyes filled with amazement.
He tried to recruit such talents everywhere, but it was hard to find one. As a result, this person actually defected to General Wen Ce of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion...
Fortunately, he was sharp enough to stop the letter, otherwise this person's entry into officialdom would definitely block his path.
The method described in this letter can completely prevent Xirong from sending troops to reinforce Nanqi, and Nanqi will no longer have the opportunity to join forces with Xirong to attack Daqi.
Wonderful, really wonderful!
This is probably what they mean by "one strategy to drive the enemy back a thousand miles away"!
The prime minister was overwhelmed with emotion, but he thought that he had already been appointed prime minister and Duke of Chengguo and there was no way he could be promoted any further, so he wanted to use this method in the names of his subordinates to help them rise to higher positions.
He had lost Yu Zijin before, and now he took the opportunity to promote someone.
Zheng Wenkang immediately sent someone to invite Lu Kai, showed him the method, and asked him to write a separate copy and write his name.
Lu Kai was now only a seventh-rank imperial censor. After he proposed this plan, and with the prime minister's words of praise, Lu Kai became the Minister of Personnel, replacing Yu Zijin's position.
After Lu Kai was promoted to the Minister of Personnel, he took people and money and quietly went to Xirong to complete his plan of stopping Xirong from sending troops to help Nanqi.
Everything is going smooth!
At this time, Xie Lin was still waiting for the emperor to summon him. He had absolute confidence in his strategy, and he knew very well what was troubling the emperor the most at this moment.
But till now, he has been waiting for ten days or half a month, but no news has come from the palace.
"...Third Master, how about I go to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion and ask whether General Wen Ce has presented your letter to the Emperor?" Wangshan asked.
In fact, entering the officialdom was not his third master's goal. He did this only to rebel against Concubine Xie and his mother, and also to know the truth behind their actions.
Wangshan felt sorry for his master.
At this moment, the housekeeper came running over: "Master, someone is coming to the palace."
Xie Lin, who was lazily leaning on the recliner, finally stood up and went out with Wangshan to greet the people from the palace.
The joy on Wangshan's face was beyond words.
As a result, when they arrived at the door, Wang Shan was greatly disappointed. Even Xie Lin, who usually had a blank expression on his face, frowned slightly, and his face seemed to be covered with frost.
It was Concubine Xie who sent the beauty to him.
The eunuch who delivered the message said, "My noble lady thought that Third Master had grown up and was in charge of all matters in the mansion. It was really hard work. He needed a girl to understand his health so that he could be healthy and strong. Therefore, my noble lady specially trained Miss Hongqi and sent her to you."
