Don't look at Lu Chen's angry appearance in the court, but after going down to the court, he immediately asked Xiao Wang to call him to his study.

After arriving at the king's study, Xiao Wangna looked cautious, while Lu Chen had a heart-to-heart talk with him, nothing more than to tell him that as a prime minister, he shouldn't be like this, something or something.

You can't say that Xiao Wang is deliberately playing tricks with Lu Chen or anything, you can only say that this is Xiao Wang's political trick in the court, and there is nothing right or wrong. And he is absolutely loyal to Lu Chen.

On the other hand, after the dispersal of the dynasty, on the way out of the palace, the ministers were in groups of three or five as usual, discussing something together as they walked out.

"Master Sima stays." As Xue Huairen spoke, he followed a few steps closely and walked side by side with Sima Wen.

"What advice does Lord Xue have?" Sima Wen asked with a slight arch.

Xue Huairen shook his head and said: "Today, in the last dynasty, Lord Sima impeached the left minister in public and angered the king. ”

"Huh?" Sima Wen said: "In the lower body is a supervision order, where the responsibility is, there is no way." ”

"Having said that, I'm afraid that Lord Sima's move will turn into some kind of factional dispute in the eyes of others......" Xue Huairen said worriedly.

Oh? He didn't say that, Sima Wen really didn't expect this, you know, he and Xiao Wang are both first-class ministers, and today he impeached Xiao Wang, in the eyes of other ministers, things are not so simple.

This is also an unavoidable problem, in all dynasties and dynasties, above the court.

Sure enough, after Xue Huairen's reminder, Su Muzhi came to find Sima Wen that night.

The two of them are both veteran nobles of the Qianfeng Country, and they have known each other for a long time, while Xiao Wang is the new magnate, today's matter, in the court, although Su Muzhi did not express any opinions, but in his opinion, this matter is undoubtedly like some kind of signal.

"Brother Su is here, why is it here?" Sima Wen asked as he poured him a cup of tea.

Su Muzhi held the cup in both hands, and after Sima Wen poured the tea, he put down the teacup and said: "Brother Sima, today's matter, all the adults in the court, there is already a lot of discussion, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng just won the position of duke, and then he was demoted to a marquis by the king......"

Before he finished speaking, Sima Wen had already interrupted him and said, "Hey? Brother Su is thinking too much, who knows whether this matter is good or bad! ”

The prince and uncle, the difference between each title is a world of difference, what kind of status the duke has, and now he has been demoted, how can it be a good thing! Su Muzhi couldn't figure it out, he said in a condensed voice: "Brother Sima, I came here today to tell Brother Sima that you and I have known each other for many years, and now we are ministers in another palace and ......officials in the same dynasty."

What he meant was already obvious, Sima Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and sure enough, Xue Huairen was really right!

He put down the half-drunk tea in his hand, looked at Su Muzhi, and said: "Brother Su, you have become the first general of our country, and you have won the trust of the king, and the current Wind Country is far from being comparable to the past!" And the king is a generation of male lords, and what he hates most is to form a party and be private! ”

When Su Muzhi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand in a panic and said, "Brother Sima misunderstood!" I don't dare to have this idea in the next day! ”

"I know that in all dynasties, factional disputes are inevitable, but the reason why the factions are divided is because of the different political views between the ministers of the DPRK and China, not because of the private alliance of party members! And Brother Su, you are even more misunderstood, there is no difference in political views between me and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, so there is no such thing as a political enemy. Sima Wen said directly and straightforwardly.

When he said this, it made Su Muzhi even more puzzled, because if this was the case, then Sima Wen didn't need to move the matter to the court at all, just privately admonished the king, let the king know about the matter, and let the king deal with the rest himself. In this way, not only will he not be derelict in his duties, but he will not offend the left minister, and he will not let the king be angry in public. With Sima Wen's eight-sided and exquisite person, how could he not think of this.

Sima Wen shook his head slightly, and did not explain much about this, but said quietly: "In the military, Brother Su and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can be said to have their own merits, but in politics, I am afraid that Brother Su is far inferior to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng......"

After this incident, although Xiao Wang was demoted to a marquis, he swept away the depressed appearance before, and instead became like a spring breeze.

A few days later, news came from Lingnan that the reclamation of barren land had been quite effective, and that the original 200,000 soldiers and soldiers had all settled down in Lingnan, and many of them had taken over their parents, wives and children.

This phenomenon also shows from the side that Zhang Guo has completely and truly disappeared in the long river of history......

Jian Rong, the head of Lingnan County, although he likes to flatter and slap horses, but his ability, Lu Chen still attaches more importance to him, after receiving Lingnan's letter, he immediately sent a royal order to Lingnan, asking Jian Rong to return to the capital to report on his work.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to the head of Longshan County, in his private name, telling him to pay more attention to Li Gongfu, the county guard of Meixian County.

It doesn't matter if he says a word, but it can be passed to the head of Longshan County, how dare the latter be careless, his attitude towards Li Gongfu can be said to have made a 180-degree turn immediately, and Lu Chen's words also made Li Gongfu's career begin to become smooth, and he began to be promoted again and again from his political achievements......

And after Jian Rong received Lu Chen's royal order, he was even more excited! At present, he has just dealt with the household registration problem of the population of 200,000 Zhangguo, and has been rewarded by the imperial court.

"Up! Up! This official is definitely going to be promoted this time! Jian Rong's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Congratulations, sir—" Seeing this, his subordinate officials stood up and congratulated him.

"Haha-it's easy to say, this time the official returns to the capital, if he can get the king's reward, it is also inseparable from the help of the ranks, Lingnan can have the current political achievements, thanks to your dedication, when the time comes, the official will also help you with a few good words in front of the king." Jian Rong said with a smile.

Ah! Hearing his words, all the county government officials hurriedly said good things to Jian Rong, you know, the county head, it is difficult to see the king, let alone these small officials, if you can mention your name in front of the king, it is too important for everyone!

Jian Rong was in the county capital, pacing back and forth excitedly, and one of his subordinate officials rolled his eyes and suggested to Jian Rong: "My lord, this time I returned to the capital, and the lower officials thought that my lord should bring some gifts and ask to see the queen's mother......"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Jian Rong's eyes lit up.

He's smart! At the same time, he also knows very well what kind of person the king is, just slapping his beard in front of the king, and not making any political achievements, it will make the king disgusted with himself!

The queen, on the other hand, has a deep relationship with the king, and as long as she pleases the queen, it is equivalent to pleasing the king.
