Zhao Xun walked around the room, with a contemplative look on his face, sitting on the side Li Zhongquan and Wang Congben, a few years have passed, both of them have been promoted, Li Zhongquan has been in the Ministry of Officials, from the fourth grade, Wang Congben is also the head of the military department, is the fifth grade.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Xun sat back in his seat and sighed: "Li Xun suddenly came like this, and this king was a little caught off guard. ”

Li Zhongquan smiled and said: "Your Highness, what Li Xun said just now is indeed reasonable, you might as well give it a try." ”

Wang Congben also nodded and said: "Now the emperor's attitude is unclear, what do you think, even Concubine Li Guifei is a little unguessable, it is not a way for us to wait like this, knock on the side drum of the Wing King, and try his reaction, it is not bad." ”

Zhao Xun smiled faintly: "Which one do you think is better to start with?" ”

Wang Congben said: "Of course it's Wu Wenkui. ”

Zhao asked, "Why?" ”

"Wu Wenkui I know a little bit about this person, this person and I are the same countryman, the two of us are the same age, in the early years, I had a master to study for five years, he was two years earlier than me, he has been a local official, this person is greedy for money and lustful, and the official is not benevolent, but he is good at sneaking and shooting horses, drilling camps, the first year of Chengping, Yiwang was transferred to Hedong to serve, Wu Wenkui was only a small county commander at that time, only a few years, it was done Jinyang Mansion Yin."

Li Zhongquan said: "In this way, you and Wu Wenkui are quite familiar, why haven't I heard you mention this person before?" ”

Wang Congben shook his head: "When I was young, the relationship between the two of us was not bad, but after entering the map, Wu Wenkui completely changed, he came from a humble and poor background, and after becoming an official, he became more and more greedy, I despised him as a person, and the relationship became weaker and weaker, after a banquet eight years ago, I had no contact with him." ”

Zhao Xun nodded, greedy people, naturally there are many stains, there are more stains, and there are more flaws, if it is really like Wang Congben said, Wu Wenkui is such a person, it should not be difficult to take him down.

Li Zhongquan said: "You can quickly recruit Liu Chongji, the middle of the imperial history, to discuss this matter." ”

"There's no hurry."

Zhao Xun was steady, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhongquan, you can visit Qin Xiangguo and ask his opinion." ”

"That's fine."

Li Zhongquan nodded, if he really attacked, it would be a matter of moving his whole body, and he must not be cautious.

Today is the seventh day of the first month of November, no need to go to the court, approaching the end of the year, there are no big things, but there are many small things, but since the reorganization of the political hall, Zhao Zhi has appointed several governors to participate in political affairs, and they are on the side to assist in handling state affairs.

Qin Anming didn't go anywhere today, cultivating flowers and grass at home, and cultivating himself.

There are nine ministers in the entire political hall, Qin Anming is the youngest one, only thirty out of forty this year, Zhao Zhi is a person who is in a hurry, so in terms of employing people, the same is true, officials under the age of forty, no matter how talented you are, you have Zhao Zhi's trust and reuse, but if you want to climb to the position of Xiangguo, in Zhao Zhi's dynasty, you don't even think about it.

Zhao Zhi has succeeded to the throne for so many years, and has always intended to reform the rule of officials and break through the monopoly of the family career, but the effect is not good, despite this, under the efforts of Zhao Zhi, the copper wall composed of the family is still torn open by Zhao Zhi, and a large number of poor scholars are finally lucky to squeeze up, among which the military attaché should be represented by Li Zhong, and the civil official is represented by Qin Anming.

Qin Anming was born poor, lost his father at the age of six, lost his mother at the age of eleven, and was raised by his eldest sister.

Qin Anming is a very smart person, he has the name of a prodigy since he was a child, and he has the ability to never forget, he is a high school jinshi tanhua before the age of twenty, and at first he served as the living room of the Son of Heaven, because of his handsome appearance, brilliant writing, and can speak and argue, and gradually got Zhao Zhi's promotion and reuse, and finally became his confidant minister.

But Qin Anming also has obvious shortcomings, that is, he cherishes himself too much, and lacks decisiveness in doing things, of course, this is also caused by Qin Anming's living environment.

"Master, Li Zhongquan in the Ministry of Officials will meet you."

The housekeeper walked behind Qin Anming and reported softly.

Qin Anming bent over, took scissors to trim the flowers and plants, listened to the housekeeper's report, and said, "Take him to the living room, I'll come in a while." ”

"Yes, sir."

The butler bowed and turned to leave.

Qin Anming didn't leave in a hurry, but after half an hour, he finished trimming the flowers and plants, then clapped his hands and turned around and walked towards the living room.

"Xiaguan meets Lord Xiangguo."

Qin Anming walked in in casual clothes, and Li Zhongquan hurriedly put down the teacup, got up and saluted.

"This is home, no need to be polite, please sit."

The two sat down, Li Zhongquan glanced at Qin Anming a few times, and saw that he was dressed in civilian clothes and his body was a little dirty, so he said apologetically: "It's my sin to disturb Lord Xiangguo's leisure." ”

Qin Anming smiled and said, "What's the matter with me?" ”

Li Zhongquan didn't rush to speak, but waited for someone to bring tea to Qin Anming, and after retreating, he opened his mouth and dragged out all the things about Fang Cai.

Qin Anming drank tea, squinted, pondered for a while, then put down the teacup, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Li Xun has always been low-key, but now he can't wait and take action." ”

Li Zhongquan said softly: "Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and Li Xun came up with this strategy to protect himself." ”

Qin Anming said lightly: "Although Li Xun is for self-preservation, it is also beneficial to the Qi King, this strategy is not bad. ”

Li Zhongquan's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Wu Wenkui is an official who is unkind and has a lot of stains, it shouldn't be difficult to take him down." ”

Qin Anming shook his head, looked at Li Zhongquan, and said, "The Wing King is in Hedong, what does he rely on the most?" ”

Li Zhongquan said: "Although the Yiwang stayed behind for Jinyang, the deputy envoy and observer of the Jiedu of Hedong Province, but without the full assistance of Wang Shi'an, Wu Wenkui, Wu Fanbai and other local real power factions, I am afraid it will only be an empty shelf." ”

"You only see the surface, but you don't see the roots."

Qin Anming sneered: "Mastering the place is nothing more than three aspects, financial power, military power and personnel, there is the emperor, in terms of personnel, the king of wings is not qualified to touch, in addition, financial power and military power, the king of wings has already gained the second, in Hedong has become a trend, military power, the matter is very important, you can't rush, let alone mess around." ”

Li Zhongquan said suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

Qin Anming said lightly: "What is the root of the army? It's money and food, the reason why Yiwang was able to control Jinyang's 50,000 army was because he had money in his hands, where did this money come from? ”

Li Zhongquan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Daizhou Wu Fanbai." ”

Daizhou is the second largest state in Hedong, but the population and economic strength are the most in Hedong, and there is no shortage of money and grain, it is precisely because of the huge amount of money and grain obtained from Wu Fanbai that the Yiwang can have the confidence and financial resources to win over the Jinyang defense envoy Wang Shi'an, and defeat Wu Fanbai, the Yiwang has no money and grain to support, and he can't support Wang Shi'an and other 50,000 troops, there is no benefit, why follow you?

Thinking of this, Li Zhongquan stood up and bowed to Qin Anming, and said convincingly: "Lord Xiangguo is really an old man seeking the country. ”

Qin Anming smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and drank water, but his eyes were a little distant, King Qi? Wing King? Li Xun?
