Chapter 394: Envoy Zhao Wei

Wang Mang always knew that Wang Dun was very talented, and he was second only to the eldest grandson Wuji among the domestic legalists and scholars in Qin, and even gave Wang Dun some time, Wang Dun would be no less than the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji also strongly recommended Wang Dun to Wang Mang in private, and now Wang Mang heard Wang Dun's analysis with his own ears, and he also knew that what the eldest grandson Wuji said was true.

Wang Dun saw that Wang Mang just looked at him and didn't speak, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, he was a disciple of the Legalists, and he was talking about the law, he offended the emperor, and he should be punished according to the law.

"Hangu Pass, where is the breakthrough?" Wang Mang asked suddenly.

Wang Dun was stunned for a moment and said: "In General Wang Yi, if General Wang Yi can wake up, then there is no doubt that Hangu is stable." ”

"If General Wang Yi can wake up, then what else do you want to do with Zhao Wei?" Wang Mang said again.

"Uniting Zhao Wei is just in case. Wang Dun said: "South Korea's move is very different from the previous style, there must be a hidden secret, Zhao Wei and the two countries will never allow South Korea to become bigger, and jointly send troops to Zhao Wei, the worst result is that South Korea withdraws its troops, the war is over, and the best result is that my Daqin bites off a piece of meat on South Korea." ”

"South Korea invaded my Hanguguan and killed my people, how can this matter be ended so easily!" Wang Dun said viciously.

Wang Mang nodded, and said, "Who do you think should be sent to Zhao and Wei?"

Lu Bowen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was born in the northern Lu family, the family believes in the Huang Lao doctrine, which is one of the largest branches of Taoism in the Qin State, Lu Bowen's grandmother is from the Li family of Zhao State, Lu Bowen and Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, are cousins in terms of blood. Wang Dun said: "You can send Lu Bowen as an ambassador to Zhao State." ”

Is the Lu family a branch of Taoism? Is the Lu family related to the Li family? Is Lu Bowen and Li Mu cousins?

Wang Mang's eyes flashed, he and the Lu brothers and sisters became friends in Xinyang, and they also knew something about the Lu family, but what Wang Dun said was something that Wang Mang never knew, and after Wang Dun said this, Wang Mang knew that the Lu family was not so simple.

The eldest grandson Wuji said at this time: "Lu Bowen can indeed go to Zhao State as an ambassador, and with him, Zhao State will definitely send troops to South Korea." ”

Wang Mang nodded at this time and said, "Since this is the case, then send an order to Lu Bowen to envoy Zhao Guo." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately recruited a waiter, and prepared the documents at that time, and after Wang Mang stamped the seal, he directly sent a message to Chang'an, and ordered Lu Bowen to immediately pack up and go to Zhao State after receiving the letter.

After Zhao Guo made arrangements, Wang Mang said again: "Then who can go to Wei State?"

Wang Dun smiled, pointed at himself, and said, "If Your Majesty trusts, is the minister willing to go to Wei State to give it a try?"

That's self-recommendation.

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about your advantages?"

"Chen once studied the art of war in Wei, and has some classmates in Wei, and now they have some roots in Wei, so they can introduce Wei Wuji, the son of Wei, to me, as long as I see Wei Wuji, then this matter will become eight points. Wang Dun said: "As for the remaining two points, it will fall on Lord Lu Bowen, if Lord Lu's trip to Zhao is successful, then the minister's trip to Wei will also be a success." ”

Wang Mang looked at Wang Dun, Wang Dun's words made Wang Mang a little confused, this is a monarch who must not believe it, but Wang Mang thought about it, but smiled: "Okay, I believe you can do it." ”

Turning his face to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, he said: "Draft, the edict Wang Dun is the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites Xuanyi, the ambassador of Wei, and the envoy to Wei. Wang Mang said.

Ambassadors of the Ministry of Rites?

Everyone was stunned at the time, this position can be said to be no grade, it can also be said that the grade is very high, his function is to promote the country's customs and customs to various countries, mainly to publicize the country's strong use, generally temporary appointments in special periods, but the general appointment for this official position is originally an official of the imperial court is above the fourth grade, and most of the time it is a retired official above the second grade or a lord above the earl.

Wang Dun was only a great Qin scholar before, and he had no official position, so if Wang Dun was appointed to such a position, what was Wang Dun's official position?

Knowing that everyone was puzzled, Wang Mang said again: "It will be treated according to the etiquette of four-grade officials, and the envoy to Wei will be sent according to the etiquette of third-grade officials." ”

Is that the same four or three products?

Everyone was stunned by Wang Mang's inexplicable appointment, but Wang Dun quickly reacted and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this time, the minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

Wang Dun is not a mother-in-law's person, after saying it here, he will leave with his legs raised his legs there, pack his bags, and is indeed preparing to go to Wei immediately.

After Wang Dun left, Wang Mang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Your little junior brother is very interesting, if this matter really comes to pass, I will grant him a county order." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, logically speaking, the top three scholars like Wang Dun are generally used in the center of the imperial court, so why just let Wang Dun be a county order?

Knowing that the eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled, Wang Mang said again: "The sage said, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house, if you can't even do a county order, then how can you govern the whole country from the perspective of the imperial court?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was suddenly, and he also understood in his heart that this was Wang Mang's next governance strategy, and his mind was active, and the eldest grandson Wuji was already thinking about what he should do in order to ensure that the Legalists could get the greatest benefits.

Wang Mang discussed some things with the eldest grandson Wuji again, and then left in a hurry, and when he reappeared, Wang Mang had already appeared in Yuwenkai's big tent.

Yuwenkai as the Ministry of Works, his tent is quite a sense of science and technology, there are all kinds of equipment everywhere, when Wang Mang entered the account, he thought that he had entered a large construction site, Yuwenkai was immersed in the board and worked hard to write, Wang Mang looked at it on the side, it seemed to be the experimental data of something.

Wang Mang looked at it, knowing that this set of data was almost over, so he didn't bother Yu Wenkai, but turned around in the account, I have to say, Yu Wenkai is very scientific and technological here, there are all kinds of tools, all kinds of improved equipment, and the walls are all drawings and designs, and finally Wang Mang's eyes fell on a black spherical object, on this, Wang Mang smelled a strong smell of sulfur.

"What is this?" At this time, Wang Mang saw that Yu Wenkai had finished writing hard, so he asked directly.

"Get out of the ...... for this official" Yu Wenkai found out that there was someone in the tent, and just wanted to get angry and drive the person out, but when he turned his face, he saw Wang Mang, and he knelt on the ground in fright.

"The minister didn't know that His Majesty had arrived, the minister was rude, and the minister was guilty!" Yu Wenkai's face was full of panic, just by the word he just had, Wang Mang cut off his head, which was also reasonable.

Wang Mang pretended not to hear Yu Wenkai's words, pointed to the black ball and said, "What is this?"

Yuwenkai was stunned, the technical man's thinking was not so complicated, and seeing that Wang Mang had no intention of punishing the crime, he stood up carefully, looked up at it with his neck tilted, and said: "This is something that a few workers in the workshop made a few days ago, and the minister thought it was very interesting, so he took it and has been preparing to study it, but he has not had time, so the minister doesn't know what it is now." ”

"I need to know his purpose now. Wang Mang just looked at Yu Wenkai, with a faint expression, and there was no room for Yu Wenkai to bargain.

Yuwen Kai was excited, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a while, the minister will figure out the function of this thing now." ”
