Great Zhou Kyoto, Lan Shilang Mansion.

Lan Haoxuan sat in the study and looked at the incense rising in front of him, and the expression on his face was cloudy.

On that day, in order to be able to sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, he promised Sheng Ergongzi of the Protectorate Mansion to let a woman replace the position of his daughter Lan Xin'er's concubine, so he did not hesitate to order to kill his real concubine Lan Xin'er in front of Sheng Er!

originally thought that he had attached to the Protector Mansion, and he obeyed Sheng Eryan, the only heir of the Protectorate Mansion, and the position of the secretary of the military department must be in his pocket.

But what he never expected was that the emperor felt that the border pass was about to start a war, and the name of Cui Baiji, the left waiter, was auspicious, and he directly appointed Cui Baiji as the secretary of the military department, so that all his calculations were in vain.

Although Sheng Er promised him afterwards that when the time was ripe, he would definitely get him the position of secretary of the military department, but Lan Haoxuan felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

When he dreamed back at midnight, he often dreamed of a pair of clear eyes, which belonged to the pleading eyes of his real concubine Lan Xin'er, who he ordered to kill.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm your daughter......"

Lan Haoxuan's eyes showed a hint of pain.

Knowing this, he was desperately blamed by Sheng Er, and he must keep his daughter!

If he and Qi Junlan's biological daughter are still alive, even if Qi Junlan is no longer there, the bond between their Lan Mansion and the Qi family is still there, if there is something to beg the Qi family, as long as he convinces his daughter, everything will be solved, if he wants to come to Qi Tai and that guy, no matter how he looks at himself unpleasantly, he will definitely not be able to harden his heart, right?

Thinking of Cui Baiji, who was once at the same level as himself and has now been promoted to the secretary of the military department, what he told him this afternoon, Lan Haoxuan beat his chest with remorse!

But it's already too late!

This morning, good news came from the border pass, and at the same time, there was also an excerpt asking for merit.

The emperor uploaded six Shangshu to the palace to discuss the matter.

When Cui Baiji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, returned to the Ministry of War, he called Lan Haoxuan to him.

After Lan Haoxuan reluctantly saluted Cui Baiji, Cui Baiji looked at Lan Haoxuan, with a smile that seemed to make people want to go up and punch him a few times.

Lan Haoxuan felt that every time Cui Baiji looked at him, he was mocked with contempt, and he also worked hard to manage it, and he did not hesitate to kill the position of Shangshu that his daughter wanted to fight for, Cui Baiji didn't do anything, and because of the auspiciousness of his name, he easily defeated all his plans.

Therefore, Lan Haoxuan felt that Cui Baiji looked down on him!

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Lan Haoxuan lowered his eyes and asked, "Lord Shangshu called the lower officials over, what do you have to order?"

Cui Baiji smiled: "Lord Lan is overjoyed!"

Lan Haoxuan felt sick in his heart, and said in a very impulsive tone: "Lord Shangshu said that he was laughing, but he didn't know where the joy of the lower officials came from?"

Cui Baiji spread out an official document in front of Lan Haoxuan and motioned for him to read it for himself.

Lan Haoxuan took the official document and glanced at it hastily, but it turned out to be a document drafted by the Ministry of War to propose a commendation to the Qi family.

Lan Haoxuan raised his eyebrows: "But I don't know what kind of contribution the Qi family has made, and it was actually commended by the Ministry of War?"

Cui Baiji shook his head and smiled: "You, no wonder the saint would rather refute the face of the Protector Mansion than let you take the throne, you look at you careless, isn't it written on it, the new wound medicine made by the Qi family has an amazing effect, and the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers at the border has been reduced by seven or eight out of ten at once, you say, such a great merit, is it worth commendating?"

Hearing Cui Baiji poke his wound again, Lan Haoxuan took a deep breath.

Since Cui Baiji became the secretary of the Ministry of War, he often likes to poke knives at his wounds, which is also to blame for him climbing to the Protector's Mansion at that time, thinking that the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War is nine out of ten, so he is a little arrogant in front of his colleagues.

Cui Baiji, who was Lan Haoxuan's competitor at that time, saw him climb to the Protector's Mansion, and thought that the military department must be Lan Haoxuan, and in front of Lan Haoxuan, he was very low and small for a while.

Therefore, after Cui Baiji unexpectedly became the secretary of the Ministry of War, that experience of being low and small became a big stain in Cui Baiji's life, and Lan Haoxuan was the one who left him a stain!

Therefore, Cui Baiji's attitude towards Lan Haoxuan is very bad, and if he can't say three sentences when he meets, he will stab two sentences.

"Lord Shangshu asked Xia Guan to see this, what do you want Xia Guan to do?" Lan Haoxuan didn't want to play Tai Chi with Cui Baiji anymore, so he directly asked Cui Baiji's purpose.

Cui Baiji said: "I heard that the Qi family is the Yue family of the Lan people, and the official thought, how about this commendation order, why don't you let the Lan people send it?"

Lan Haoxuan frowned: "It's just a commendation order, just send a small official to send it......"

Why do you need to work as a dignified servant to give a commendation order! This Cui Baiji is really getting more and more excessive, let him be a dignified soldier and do the work of a small official!

Cui Baiji can be the secretary of the military department, even if it is because of luck, but it is not without real talent and real learning, naturally it is impossible to let Lan Haoxuan be a soldier in the military department to do the business of a small official, the reason why he said this is just to provoke Lan Haoxuan.

Seeing that Lan Haoxuan was really not calm, Cui Baiji said: "Naturally, it's not just about sending a commendation order, the emperor has issued a secret decree to let the military department send someone to communicate with the Qi family, and if possible, let the Qi family dedicate the prescription for the wound medicine!"

I see!

Lan Haoxuan's pupils shrank, and he looked at Cui Baiji with an unkind look.

This is to see that the hens of the Qi family lay delicious eggs, and they are not satisfied with only eating eggs, and they want to take that hen for themselves!

"Xia Guan thinks that it is better for Lord Shangshu to come forward in person in this matter, so that it will appear more sincere!"

Lan Haoxuan is not a fool, he is not willing to do such a thankless task!

If it is done, the Qi family will hate him, but the emperor thinks that what he is doing is what he should do!

If he can't do it, the Qi family will be annoyed with him, and the emperor will think he is incompetent!

Cui Baiji said with a smile: "Originally, I was going to go in person, didn't I hear that the Qi family is the Yue family of Lord Lan, thinking that if Lord Lan goes, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and this official will think that the emperor recommended Lord Lan." The emperor also thought that this idea was very good, and agreed to the official's proposal, so, Lord Lan, please leave this matter to you!"

This Cui Baiji is really slippery, and he actually asked the emperor for permission in advance.

Even the emperor agreed to let him go to the Qi family, what else could Lan Haoxuan say?

If he postpones it, it will leave an even worse impression on the emperor, and he won't want to climb up again in the future.
