"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the envoys to the Kingdom of Qiu and the State of Xu returned, and presented to the ministers the letters of Guo Changfu, the monarch of the State of Qiu, and Xu Wenqiang, the monarch of the State of Xu. Gongsun Yan's face was a little ugly.

A few days ago, the General Administration Department received a secret report that Wang Mang was furious about the collusion between the State of Yu, the State of Xu, the Republic of Korea and the rebels in the south, and he was going to send troops to attack the State of Qiu.

Now look at the meaning of Gongsun Yan, this is the return of the messenger, and the situation is not very good.

Diplomacy has always been a major event, and seeing Gongsun Yan's solemn expression, Wang Yongji and Li Hong stopped and gave way to Gongsun Yan.

After Gongsun Yan received Wang Mang's signal, he reported to Wang Mang about the envoy.

The situation of the envoys was very bad, the state of Yu and the state of Xu had no reverence for the Great Qin, and the two countries clearly colluded together, and even the envoys made secret visits on the streets of the two countries, and found that the men and horses of the southern rebels openly purchased supplies on the streets of the two countries, and in addition, many domestic merchants participated.

And the monarchs of the two countries didn't care about the criticism of the Great Qin court, Xu Guo was in the territory of Great Qin, it was good to say that Yu Guo almost killed the Qin envoy on the spot.

In the end, it was the monarchs of the two countries who each replied with a letter to Great Qin.

Wang Mang opened the letter submitted by Gongsun Yan, his face was cold at the time, Xu Wenqiang was quite low-key, he did not dare to directly oppose Daqin, said that he would investigate the lawless elements in the territory, and he would definitely cooperate with the work of the Daqin court, as for Wang Mang's summoning of Xu Wenqiang to Chang'an, Xu Wenqiang said that he was not in good health, and he could not walk on the ground, and he would come back when his body was better. It seems that a fig leaf has been left, but in fact, it does not take the Great Qin Court in the slightest.

And the country of Yu didn't leave any face for Daqin, relying on their strong soldiers and horses, the terrain was dangerous, and people talked about it, just one sentence: "What do you like to do, don't care about your!".

"It's too much deception!" Wang Mang threw the letter into Gongsun Yan's hands, and said coldly: "Disclose the content of the letter directly to the officials and people of Chang'an, and in addition, spread my will, if anyone dares to sell any materials to the State of Yu and the State of Xu, you are welcome!"

"The ministers obey the order!" Gongsun Yan and other ministers immediately received the order, and the heart said that the country of Yu and the country of Xu were finished.

After Wang Mang almost wiped out the four major families of Nanyang in one fell swoop, in the entire territory of Daqin, who would dare to go against the emperor now, isn't that the old birthday star thought that he had a long life and found a rope to hang himself?

The ministers couldn't understand at all in their minds, what was crazy about these two small countries, it was clear that the chariots and horses were against Great Qin, they were simply dizzy, for many years, the two countries could exist, it was not that Great Qin couldn't destroy them, but they were still obedient, and there was no need to waste their strength on them.

Lu Bowen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials is here to discuss the promotion of Nanyang Ling Zhang Han and Xinyang Ling Lu Yuan. ”

Zhang Jian, the secretary of the ministry, was ordered by Wang Mang to go home to rest in bed, and the left servant of the ministry has always been Zhang Jian's confidant, but he was also unlucky, and was directly assigned by Wang Mang to serve in the southern army, and now the Great Qin Ministry is headed by Lu Bowen.

Once the power was in hand, Lu Bowen of course wanted to move Lu Yuan for the first time, and even took Zhang Han with him.

Lu Bowen didn't ask for anything, just Xinyang City, Lu Yuan must not stay, it seems that Wang Mang took Lu Yuan to win a big victory in Nanyang Xinyang and other places, but in fact, the land of Sanyang has been operated by the four major families for many years, which is deep-rooted, Lu Yuan offended the four major families so ruthlessly, and there is no benefit in continuing to stay in Xinyang.

Wang Mang was also happy to fulfill Lu Yuan and Zhang Han, especially Lu Yuan, who followed him from Xinyang to Nanyang, risking his life to pacify the four major families, no matter from which point of view, he couldn't treat him badly.

But where to go, Wang Mang couldn't pay attention.

"Lu Bowen, what do you suggest?" Wang Mang asked Lu Bowen, the initiator.

Lu Bowen said with some embarrassment on his face: "Weichen also thought about it, Lord Zhang Han is easy to arrange, with Lord Zhang's qualifications, it is enough to come to Chang'an to be a waiter of the six departments and nine qings, but Lu Yuan is still young, and it is indeed not easy to arrange, but after all, they are all meritorious ministers, and it is impossible to say if they don't arrange it." ”

Wang Yongji sneered on the side: "Lu Bowen, don't say it so nicely, if Lu Yuan wasn't your nephew, you would be so attentive, there are so many meritorious ministers in the whole Great Qin every year, and I haven't seen you so attentive." ”

Lu Bowen's face was cold, and he glared at Wang Yongji and said: "Lord Wang, this is a recommendation for the country, and it is all a public heart, there is no one here who is anyone's nephew, who is who's nephew, all here are His Majesty's courtiers!"

"...... you" Wang Yongji's face was cold, but he didn't speak, the people in the court were talking, they were all turning corners, Lu Bowen didn't seem to fight back against Wang Yongji, but the two words of the nephew were really said to Wang Yongji.

Wang Yongji has a nephew, who was also recommended by Wang Yongji, and the reason used at that time was to recommend talents for the country, and it was the virtuous who did not avoid relatives, and really speaking, the ministers in the list, who had not recommended their relatives, so when Lu Bowen said this, there was no voice in the court.

Wang Mang also knew this, and when he saw Lu Bowen's sharpness, his mind turned, and he did have a brilliant idea.

Hum!

Wang Mang snorted coldly, and the ministers suddenly looked at Wang Mang honestly, Wang Mang said: "Spread my will, since the reign of Lu Bowen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, he has been diligent and diligent, and has made countless contributions to the country. ”

"The ministers obey the order!" the ministers hurriedly kowtowed.

Lu Bowen's face was overjoyed, this holy decree came down, he actually mentioned the left waiter of the ministry, it seems that the difference between the left waiter and the right waiter is one word, but the left waiter is the real second-in-command of the ministry, as long as he does not make mistakes in the position, the future of a Shangshu is stable, and Lu Yuan won the deputy envoy of the river to make Lu Bowen even more happy, which is equivalent to directly becoming a central management cadre from a local cadre, and everything about Lu Yuan in the future is under the gaze of the bigwigs in the court, with Lu Yuan's age, he will definitely be ranked in the court in the future, and there will be successors to the Lu family.

As for Zhang Han's coming to the Ministry of Officials to be the right attendant, although Lu Bowen was a little tired in his heart, he also knew that this was the emperor's balancing technique, and the Ministry of Officials was the center of the court, and it was impossible for the emperor to hand over the Ministry of Officials to himself with confidence when Zhang Jian was away.

As for the rest of the court, they looked at Lu Bowen with some envy, it seemed that Lu Bowen's promotion this time was something that had been diligent for many years, but in fact, who didn't know that Lu Bowen was lucky with shit, not only did he have a good nephew, but he also caught up with the plate of the emperor's ministry.

Shang Yang stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”
