Chapter Ninety-Four: The Puppet
Kuai Mu's somewhat crazy plan, after the approval of Emperor Qi, has obviously been decided.
After hard persuasion to no avail, the ministers had no choice but to give up.
However, although they gave up, they also had a trace of resentment towards the prime minister in their hearts.
It's just that the power of Kuai Mu, even if a few of them are combined, is unmatched.
What's more, behind this, there is also Emperor Qi as a backing.
"Now that the big thing has been decided, who does the prime minister think can take on this great task?"
Emperor Qi, who eased his mood, couldn't help but ask Kuai Mu again.
"Chen Qi is enough!" Kuai Mu replied without hesitation.
"Chen Qi?" Emperor Qi frowned, although he had an impression of this young man, most of them were frivolous.
Kuai Mu nodded and said, "Chen Qi has passed the year of his establishment, and now he has been added as a hussar general, leading an army of 20,000 troops. Whether it is ability or family background, it is enough to take on this responsibility. ”
At this time, although the importance of ability is already self-evident. However, in general, family history is also an important consideration.
Because, there are many children of families in the army. Letting a cold man climb on their heads at once can easily lead to unstable morale.
Emperor Qi looked at Kuai Mu, the two of them who had been together for decades, and in silence, they had already guessed a little bit of Kuai Mu's other intentions.
The current situation of Qi is like that of an old man in the twilight. There is a smell of decay everywhere.
In the long run, it won't take ten years, I'm afraid that the status of Qi State will be similar to that of its own vassal country, Zhao Yan.
At that time, what awaits the Qi country will definitely be the death of the country.
Moreover, now Emperor Qi himself is also old, compared to Emperor Chu, who is ten years younger than him. In his prime, he could die almost at any time.
Once he passes, the Qi State may usher in a huge crisis.
It is necessary to regain the prestige of the country before that. At least, Yan and Zhao Erguo can't have different intentions!
"Chen Qi is alone, I don't feel at ease, it's better to be the prime minister, and recommend another person to serve as the prison guard. With the cooperation of the left and right, it can also make me feel at ease. ”
The ministers who originally thought that Emperor Qi would veto it couldn't help but show a shocked look again.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, please allow the minister to recommend candidates in the afternoon."
"yes, that's right." Qi Huang nodded and said.
The singing and harmony between Emperor Qi and Kuai Mu were all seen by the others below.
These people have also been in the court for a long time. He is also very familiar with Emperor Qi and Kuai Mu.
Originally, it was only Kuai Mu who was abnormal. But looking at it now, it seems that Emperor Qi is also a little abnormal.
One abnormality may be able to explain one or two, the two people who are the most powerful people in the Qi country are a little abnormal at the moment, which has to make them nervous.
A progressive generation who has been standing for a long time seems to be obviously a little out of place with them.
After briefly discussing the battle in Donghai County, Emperor Qi used the excuse of fatigue to order everyone to leave.
It's just that before leaving, he left the prime minister alone.
If it was in the past, they might not care. Because, it's all too common.
However, at this time, the hearts of the ministers have just given birth to suspicion, and it is the time when the vigilance is the heaviest.
At this time, things that were originally normal will be infinitely magnified and become a thorn in their side.
……
Kuai Mu entered the palace early in the morning and did not return to the prime minister's mansion until near Shen.
Kuai Mu, who was also in his prime, finally showed a strong state of exhaustion after maintaining his excitement for several hours.
As soon as he returned to the house, Kuai Mu sat in the house, closed his eyes and recuperated.
"Squeak......
The door of the house was opened, and the smell of fragrant tea suddenly wafted through the room.
"Teacher, please ...... with tea"
Tian Wen put the fragrant tea that was still hot on Kuai Mu's table, and then stood silently aside.
There was a silence in the room. It wasn't until almost a moment later, when the tea was almost cold, that Kuai Mu picked up the cup a little sluggishly.
Between the porcelain, the sound of light touches is somewhat crisp and pleasant.
"Lu County's business, you should have done it......"
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Kuai Mu seemed to say another trivial matter.
"Yes, teacher......"
Tian Wen did not refute, but generously admitted it.
"You're in too much of a hurry......"
Putting down the cup in his hand, Kuai Mu sighed lightly, with a trace of regret in his expression.
"It's not that students are in a hurry, it's that time waits for no one."
There was no trace of regret on Tian Wen's face. It seems that the death of those 20,000 Qi troops has nothing to do with him at all.
"I've taken down the affairs of your retainer for you. Your Majesty, I have already prevaricated for you. ”
"Thank you, teacher." Tian Wen bent down and said very respectfully.
After a moment of silence, Kuai Mu suddenly said: "Your Majesty has agreed to send troops to attack Puyang......
"Isn't the teacher ......?"
Tian Wen's eyes lit up slightly, and there was obviously a trace of fluctuation in his tone that had been flat.
I have to say that Tian Wen is really deep in Kuai Mu's true biography, from the very beginning, attacking and killing Xia Huan was just Tian Wen's hand.
The real purpose is still Puyang of Wei, or rather, the 40,000 Chu troops.
Kuai Mu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to think about the position of the main general. If you fail this time, you're lucky not to be held accountable. Just relying on your prestige in Linzi is not enough to take on such a big responsibility. ”
Tian Wen nodded a little disappointedly, but he didn't say anything.
Over the years, under his unremitting efforts. His genius, the name of a prodigy, has already spread in Linzi and even in the Qi country.
However, these names in the old man's Qi country are like children who can't grow up. As a parent, you can never let go.
The name of genius and prodigy is a double-edged sword. Not only did Tian Wen win great prestige, but it also prevented him from going further.
"The future Qi Kingdom must be handed over to you young people...... It's just that your age is still a problem! Kuai Mu said with a little comfort and a little reminder.
"Students know ......"
"However, if you want to grasp power, you don't need to go directly to the surface...... "Kuai Mu directly interrupted Tian Wen's words and reminded meaningfully.
With Tian Wen's qualifications, he immediately understood the meaning of Kuai Mu's words.
Tian Wen is too young, so young, even if it is another ten years, it is impossible for him to sit in the position of Kuai Mu now.
Not because of anything else, just because of the word seniority in China since ancient times.
However, it is like the imperial power and the relative power that has lasted for thousands of years. What can really rule the world is not the level of status, but the power in hand.
Push a person to the bright side, and let Tian Wenming assist, secretly develop his power, and accumulate qualifications. Be behind the manipulation of the puppet. This is another purpose of Kuaimu.
And this puppet is obviously Chen Qi, who is already famous.
