Chapter 124: Prime Minister Wen's doubts
"But now the kingdom of Annam cannot be underestimated, and the current soldiers of the imperial court have not seen them dispatched......" one of the courtiers worried.
"The talismans of the Yu Kingdom are in the hands of Qifu, Wentian, the emperor's brother, and the king......"
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded, there have only been three talismans all along, why is there another one? Or is it in the hands of the Ascendant?
"Why are you so surprised? Can't this king have a talisman? ”
After Yan Sheng finished speaking, the courtiers all shook their heads and denied their emotions just now, and shifted their curious eyes to Prime Minister Wen, who was an important minister of the previous dynasty, and must know what was going on.
Prime Minister Wen exhaled heavily, how could he forget this? Before the emperor died, he sent the last piece of talisman to Qiansheng's hand, because Qiansheng was not good at fighting for power, and he was also talented, and this talisman was given to him in order to disperse the forces of the imperial court.
Let this talisman play a role as a containment.
It's just that the time is too long, and after the emperor died, Qian Sheng seemed to have evaporated from the world, so this matter, as the only person in the know, Prime Minister Wen really almost forgot about it.
"I don't know Prime Minister Wen, what do you think of Annan's invasion this time?" Qi Sheng sat back in his position and looked at Wen Tian, who was sitting on the side.
"Annan will be ready to move at this time, but he doesn't dare to rashly invade our Central Plains, this time it is so bold, it must not be so simple, if it is just to eat enough and give his life in vain, then it is too brutal.
As far as the old man knows, the god of war in Annan, the prince of Pingxi. It's not such an impulsive person who jokes with people's lives. As soon as Prime Minister Wen said this, those courtiers began to discuss it in a stumbling manner, which they couldn't think of, but after such a little dialing, many people had some opinions.
"The prince of Pingxi attaches great importance to peace, and has always coexisted peacefully with my country, and has not provoked a major war. This time, there were 100,000 troops stationed at the listening station. It seems that we are prepared, and this war is even more difficult to avoid......"
"Could it be that someone is getting in the way? Watch the fire from the other side. Profiteering? ”
"So to speak. This battle is really a bit strange. I heard that the general has been waiting for him for a long time and is ready to conquer at any time......"
"Okay, let's talk about this later! If nothing else. Ladies and gentlemen, please come back! ”
As soon as Yan Sheng finished speaking, the courtiers bowed and retreated, and when Prime Minister Wen was about to retreat, he was stopped by Qian Sheng.
After a while, the entire Zhaoyang Hall became much quieter, leaving only Wen Tian, Wen Wan'er and Qian Sheng.
"Does the prince still have something to find the minister?"
"Didn't Prime Minister Wen have something to ask this king?" Yan Sheng sat down and smiled proudly.
Wen Tian listened, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Queen Mother, can you avoid it first?" ”
"Then Wan'er went to rest first. After a while, he will ask the palace maid to bring tea and pastries to the prince and father. Wen Wan'er gestured to Qi'er on the side, and Qi'er understood, so she followed Wen Wan'er and went to the side hall.
"What the prime minister wants to ask, you don't have to beat around the bush, this king likes to be direct."
Wen Tian hesitated for a few seconds, since he likes to be direct, then there is no need for him to go around, and he got straight to the point, "The prince has always disliked fighting for power and profit, why did he suddenly return to the saint's side?" ”
"This king just can't get used to those who have been bullying Xian'er, as an elder brother, naturally he can't stand by and watch."
"Is that really the case?" Wen Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't quite believe it.
"It seems that the prime minister still has a lot of prejudice against this king?" The corners of Qian Sheng's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were a little creepy.
"The old minister doesn't dare." Wen Tian arched his hand, although he was not completely on the side of Xianxian, but since Wen Wan'er entered the palace and became the queen, the people around him would naturally assign him to Xianxian's group, since this situation is irreversible, then there are some things that he has to ask.
Qiansheng's sudden return to the dynasty to assist Qianxian's government has made people doubt his motives, and now, many effective measures and strategies are deployed by him, and on the surface, it seems that everything is indeed conducive to Qianxian's recovery of his real power, but he is a prince, if there is no trace of selfishness, no one will believe it.
At least, he didn't believe so much, what kind of brotherhood would be like this?
"Actually, this king is very happy that Prime Minister Wen Cheng will come to ask this king this question in person, at least it proves that Prime Minister Wen is biased towards the emperor's younger brother, otherwise, you will not ask this king so directly." Jian Sheng put away the folding fan, and his tone was very indifferent.
"Presumably, the reason why the emperor wants to go to Jiangnan in person is not just to catch ......mice," Prime Minister Wen said this, and Qian Sheng couldn't help laughing.
He is right, even if he believes in him, he will inevitably try him in person, after all, after people are at a height, how can those who are close to him have no purpose?
Xian Xian was so relieved and bold to let Jian Sheng help deal with the government, and before leaving, he also handed over the jade seal to him, on the one hand, out of trust, and on the other hand, it was an experiment.
Test your loyalty to him.
"That Prime Minister thinks that this king has passed the test?"
"I heard Wan'er say, the idea of the original establishment was proposed by you and the emperor, the prince?"
"That's right."
"In fact, there are many things that can clearly see the loyalty of the prince to the emperor, but the person next to the prince has never been able to dispel the old minister's doubts."
Qian Sheng's smile retracted slightly, it seems that this Wen Tian has not been stuck at home and doesn't know anything, and he actually sent someone to investigate him secretly?
But this stagnation only stayed on Qi Sheng's face for a moment, and then he regained his previous calmness.
"If there is a chance, this king will also bring the person mentioned by the prime minister, if the prime minister has anything to say, just ask him directly." After Yan Sheng finished speaking, the corners of his mouth raised, and he got up and left.
Wen tilted his hand and saluted, watching Jian Sheng leave, he stayed in place, his brows were tightly locked, there was no wave in his eyes, and when he left, he let his entourage go to say goodbye to the queen, and he, sitting in a prepared sedan chair, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister, Uncle Guo asks to see." As soon as Wen Tian sat down, the guards rushed in to report.
This Qifu has really not stepped into the door of his prime minister's mansion for a long time.
"Prime Minister Wen has been working hard lately, ......"
Before Wen Tian could say anything, Qifu had already entered the inner hall, and his arrogant and unseen posture really hadn't changed at all.
"It's really rare to come to the door, come to someone, serve tea ......"
"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite, why does the family need so much red tape, you say, right?"
Family? It's not a shame to use this word at all.
"Uncle Guo is talking about...... Please take a seat! (To be continued.) )
