Chapter 342: It's a pity

was suddenly named by the emperor, and Wen Qiao didn't have time to react.

He has always had his back straight, although he seemed to be standing upright, but since he entered the imperial study just now and stood in place, he kept thinking about how to solve the problem of Zhao Qingyan and Mrs. Cheng when he went back this time.

No matter how Wen Qiao tried his best to excuse Mrs. Cheng this time, in the end, he would never be convinced.

Because this incident could have been avoided and not happened, and this will lead to the current situation, all the fault is on Mrs. Cheng, she has nothing to do and she refuses to let go of Zhao Qingyan.

"Wen Qiao?" Seeing that Wen Qiao didn't answer himself immediately, but stood in place stunned, the emperor's face turned bad in an instant.

Those who dare not concentrate in front of him and think about other things are directly challenging his authority!

The emperor looked at Wen Qiao and moved the corners of his mouth, although he was a little angry, but at the same time he also liked Wen Qiao, such a good talent, it would be a pity not to make good use of it.

"Your Majesty," Wen Qiao's heart rose to his throat after a few seconds of reaction, and he pressed the uneasiness in his heart and said to the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, "Weichen is here."

Just now it was just a small episode, just now when Wen Qiao came in, he took the initiative to explain to him that something happened at home today, and when he thought of it, he suddenly understood him a little, so he didn't carelessly with Wen Qiao.

only repeated what he had just said to Wen Qiao, "The flood in the south has now caused a large number of displaced people to flow out. The local government is understaffed, so how about you go to the south this time to preside over everything that is in charge of the flood?"

Wen Qiao was silent when he heard this, he felt that the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he had to tell the facts, "Your Majesty, Weichen is a military general." ”

There is a flood in the south, but it is a matter of sending a military general to deal with the flood.

This answer quickly set off a new wave of silence in the imperial study.

The emperor raised his hand and slapped his thigh hidden under the dragon robe, taking advantage of the time to glance at Xiang Gexing.

Then he laughed a little embarrassedly, "Of course I know that you are a general, but what happened to the general?" I believe that you have the ability, and you will definitely be able to control this flood beautifully!"

Although this country was founded by force, like many previous dynasties, in order to wash away the reputation of the ancestors who founded the country by force and had a poor cultural level in other countries.

I don't know from which generation, from the court to the common people's homes, they gradually became more civilian.

Although the country is established by force, it is still civil wisdom that is needed to govern a country, and it is presumably that military force is gradually declining.

And this kind of atmosphere in the court is more prevalent, the country has been strong and rich in recent years, there is no war, the existence of military generals is even weaker, and now half of the court is almost the world of civil servants.

If Wen Qiao was really sent to the south to deal with the flood this time, then the situation at that time must be conceivable.

Naturally, those local officials would not obey his orders, and even if they did, most of them would only be able to take up a false position.

It didn't work to send Wen Qiao there, and everyone became sad again. Wen Qiao was born in a powerful family, is the son of Huai'en Houfu, and serves as a general in the army, this identity is now more than almost no one in the court can compare to him.

The Emperor's face turned ugly again, and he kept his mouth shut for a few moments, and no one spoke, which made everyone else even more uneasy.

"Your Majesty," Xiang Gexing said suddenly: "The old minister remembers that there is a squire in Zhongshu Province, Zhang Xinzhi, who seems to have just joined the government last year."

As soon as the name Zhang Xinzhi came out, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, mainly because they had never heard of this name.

Since Xiang Gexing opened his mouth, he simply said everything he wanted to say, "That Zhang Xinzhi's father is the former Shaoqing Zhang Yuan of Dali Temple, and he seems to have come last year when he stepped down, why don't you send him to go with Wen Shizi this time?" When you leave, you will be able to seal him an official position, and when the time comes, Wen Shizi will hold a lot of power in the army, and there is a son of the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it is just right to have a text and a martial arts. ”

The position of the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple Zhang Yuan has been vacant since the resignation of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, if Zhang Xinzhi is sent to go with Wen Qiao now, some people will speculate whether Zhang Xinzhi is going to take over the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Although the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not high, it has always been a formidable and feared role in the court.

The emperor thought about it, restrained himself from making a decision immediately, but looked at Wen Qiao first, and asked again: "Wen Qiao, you and Zhang Xinzhi went to the south to control the water, is there a problem?"

Wen Qiao lowered his eyelids and looked at his toes, then raised his head, bowed to the emperor again with a faint expression, and said, "Weichen obeys."

Hearing Wen Qiao's words of agreement, everyone was completely relieved, and they were glad that they were not sent out this time.

When he looked at Wen Qiao again, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

Wen Qiao didn't react much, although this is a relative is not a good thing for him, it is not an absolute bad thing.

After solving the most urgent matter at the moment, the emperor's mood finally improved, he looked at Wen Qiao and smiled boldly, and then threw him a sweet date before leaving, "Okay, Wen Qiao!" I will make you a request this time, and when you come back from this good deed, I will agree to you no matter what!"

The face of the third prince was the first to be repeated, and the emperor's words successfully caused panic in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he didn't let the emperor send him just now.

Maybe he won't have such a good benefit as Wen Qiao, but the emperor will definitely not treat him badly.

Compared with the third prince, Wen Qiao was calm as if nothing had happened, and he lightly agreed to the agreement with the emperor, but what he was thinking about was still Zhao Qingyan.

I don't know what happened to Zhao Qingyan outside alone.

When the emperor finally waved them away, Wen Qiao was the first to go, he walked in front of everyone, and his steps were hurried.

The remaining ministers who wanted to congratulate him looked at each other.

Wen Qiao walked out of the palace in almost half the usual time.

When he walked out of the palace, he noticed that the sky had darkened for some time, and he didn't know how much time he had spent in the imperial study, but he only knew that the most important thing now was to dare to see Zhao Qingyan first.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the table in the hall on the first floor, which was empty when Zhao Qingyan came, was already full at this time, and there was a noisy and noisy sound inside.

Wen Qiao frowned at the noise, and rushed upstairs with great strides. When he arrived on the third floor, he directly found the box where Zhao Qingyan was, directly pushed the door hard, and shouted eagerly: "Zhao Qingyan!"

Zhao Qingyan was stunned by Wen Qiao who suddenly broke in, she was still holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and it seemed that she was about to pick up vegetables, "What's wrong?" She asked calmly.
