Gu Ze's goal was achieved, his value skyrocketed after his appearance in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his status was also improved.

On the second day of Wu Xuehai's birthday banquet, he received many invitations, and all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital rushed to invite him to sing in the mansion.

Gu Ze didn't forget to help him, arranged the itinerary for singing, and invited Fu Xiaojiu and Bai Yusheng to dinner.

Seeing that Gu Ze's wish was fulfilled, everyone was happy for him, Gu Ze toasted them first, and then told them something.

"I finished singing yesterday, and the ladies and ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion kept me late and had to ask me to teach them to sing, and the guests were almost gone when I left. I saw a man get into a carriage and go into the palace. ”

"Is it the right phase?" Bai Yusheng asked.

Gu Ze shook his head, "If it's the right minister, I won't tell you." The one who was sent into the palace by the carriage was the dancing girl who took a fancy to the ten thousand adults. ”

Wan Feizhi was surprised, "What? Did she enter the palace? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said very calmly: "There is nothing surprising about this. Then it is normal for a big beauty to be sent to the palace. The right phase deserves to be the right phase, it is really a good calculation. ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he looked at Wan Lin and said deliberately: "Xianggong, you are very powerful this time." It's the woman you don't want to be sent to the palace. ”

Wan Lin immediately went to cover her mouth, and said nervously: "Lady be cautious!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu pulled Wan Lin's hand off his mouth, and said unconvinced: "Look at what scares you, do you think the saint can not know about this?" ”

Wan Lin said confidently: "I'm not afraid that the saint will know about this, what kind of person I am The saint understands." ”

Bai Yusheng asked, "Brother-in-law, are you afraid that the dancing girl will be favored and will speak ill of you in front of the saint?" ”

Wan Lin said with a serious expression: "It's not that this is not impossible, but the saint is wise, and he will definitely not listen to this kind of pillow wind." ”

Wan Feizhi said with a wicked smile at this time: "I think the third brother should be afraid that someone will know that Qiang Wan's beauty is not his appetite, and then send him another beauty as a concubine." ”

Wan Lin glanced at her, "No matter what beauty you send me, I can also cover the water with soldiers, and I will never let our family have another woman!" ”

Wan Feizhi asked with a smile: "Then what if the third sister-in-law will add you a baby girl in the future?" ”

Wan Lin immediately said: "Then of course I am happy!" How can those women compare to my precious girl? ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he took Lafu Xiaojiu's hand, "Lady, when can you add another baby girl to me?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu raised his little face arrogantly, "Wait for you to be promoted again, your current official position is too low, and you don't deserve to have a baby girl!" ”

Gu Ze took the opportunity to raise his wine glass and said with a smile: "Hehe, then let's wish Lord Wan an early promotion!" ”

Wan Lin smiled politely: "I promise your good words!" ”

The dancing girl who was sent to the palace was named Gulti, the emperor was deeply fascinated when he saw her, and he was fortunate to be there that night, when Wan Lin and others talked about her, she was already named a concubine because of her gorgeous appearance.

In fact, the country of Qiang Wan has not been peaceful recently, the old king has just died of illness, the prince and his uncle are fighting for power, and the civil war is continuous.

This caravan of Qiang Wan escaped, and they were all under the command of Prince Qiang Wan, in order to pass on the message and seek the help of Dachen.

When they came, they planned to sacrifice Gulti to Emperor Dachen, so that the emperor could send Dachen's army to help Qiang Wan quell the civil strife.

However, Gurti did not want to enter the palace, and her cousin was the vice captain of the caravan, so she begged his cousin to give her a choice.

If she can find a man in Dachen who can be entrusted for life before entering the palace, she will let someone else enter the palace instead of her.

Because although she is beautiful, there are many dancing girls who are also very good-looking.

Gulti's cousin agreed to her in the face of her bitter pleas.

Gurti noticed Wan Lin when she was performing on stage last night, but she didn't throw the veil to Wan Lin when she saw Wan Lin holding the child in her arms.

Unexpectedly, at Wu Xuehai's birthday banquet, Gurti saw Wanlin again.

She didn't want to miss it again, and when she saw Wan Lin actually walking to the stage, she happily threw the veil to Wan Lin.

But he never thought that Wan Lin was not only unmoved by her, but also rejected her very resolutely.

Gulti was disheartened, so he agreed to enter the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she fulfilled her duties, explained to the emperor Qiang Wan's current national conditions, and asked the emperor to help Qiang Wan calm down the civil strife.

Before Gurti entered the palace, the emperor heard about the civil strife in Qiangwan, but he didn't bother with this matter considering that the border of Dachen was not very peaceful.

However, Gurti opened his mouth and begged him, and the emperor thought that the two countries had coexisted peacefully for many years, and trade was frequent, and if Qiang Wan continued to mess up, it would also have an impact on Dachen.

The emperor finally made up his mind to help Qiang Wan.

But sending troops directly to Qiang Wan is a bit unjustifiable, if you can send an embassy to Qiang Wan, let the mission take some soldiers and horses, send a friendly envoy to Qiang Wan, in the name of hanging the old king, everything is reasonable.

After the emperor decided to help Qiang Wan, he discussed this matter with his ministers in the early court.

Most people agreed with the emperor doing this, but who should be the ambassador to Qiang Wan was discussed by the courtiers for a long time.

The emperor thought that the ambassador sent by Dachen should not be too old, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the bumps in the sea.

Moreover, the ambassador must be bold and careful and quick to react, otherwise he will not be able to protect himself in Qiang Wan's civil strife while commanding Dachen's soldiers and horses to help Qiang Wan quell the civil strife.

Some people say that it is better to send a general, who is strong and can lead troops.

Some people said that civilian officials should be sent, and civil officials are good at arguing, and they may be able to persuade the opposing sides with their incorruptible tongues that they can help Qiang Wan quell the civil strife without using a single soldier.

The officials argued for a long time and did not come to a conclusion.

The emperor was a little troubled by their quarrel, and after they all shut up, the emperor handed over the matter of determining the candidate to Wu Xuehai, who almost didn't express his opinion.

"Wu Aiqing, you haven't spoken much, you must have someone in your heart. I will listen to you, and I will send whoever you say you want to go! ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he stared at Wu Xuehai closely, waiting for his answer.

The officials also stopped arguing and wanted to hear Wu Xuehai's decision.

Wu Xuehai pondered solemnly for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a person who not only meets your requirements for age, but also has a healthy body and a sharp mind, as well as courage, should be the genius of Lianzhong Sanyuan. Wan Shi said that the gods are handsome, the spirit is extraordinary, and the loyalty is upright, with him as the ambassador to Qiang Wan, he will definitely be able to succeed! ”

After hearing Wu Xuehai's recommendation, the emperor's eyes lit up, and many people also agreed, thinking that Wan Lin was worthy of this position.

But there are also some people who think that Wan Lin has no experience in leading troops, and even if he is familiar with the art of war, it is only on paper, and they are worried that he will give orders indiscriminately because he does not understand the art of war, resulting in unnecessary losses and generals.

The emperor did not immediately decide to let Wan Lin be the ambassador, saying that he would see Wan Lin before talking.

When Wan Lin was called to see the emperor, he didn't know that Dachen was going to send an embassy to Qiang Wan.

When the emperor saw him, he didn't mention it first, but first tested his understanding of the art of war, and the emperor finally made a decision after testing Wanlin.

The emperor looked at Wan Lin's heart, and he was afraid of losing a talent like him, but he still told him the truth in the end.

"Wan Aiqing, I brought you here to do something. However, this matter is both good and bad, and if it is done, you will have the credit of rising several levels in a row. But if it doesn't work, I'm afraid even your life will be lost. Do you have the courage to do this? ”

After the emperor finished speaking, Wan Lin immediately resolutely agreed: "The minister has courage!" The minister's life is His Majesty and Dachen's, no matter what His Majesty asks the minister to do, the minister will never give up! ”

Seeing Wan Lin's courage and loyalty, the emperor was extremely pleased, and happily walked in front of Wan Lin and held his arm.

"Wan Aiqing is flat."

Wan Lin slowly raised his head, but saw that the emperor looked serious.

"Qiang Wan and Dachen have always been peaceful and friendly, and trade is very frequent. There are not many countries like this that sincerely make friends with Da Chen, so Da Chen should cherish Qiang Wan as a friend. Now the old king of Qiang Wan is sick and dead, and the prince and the imperial uncle are fighting for power, which leads to domestic chaos and civil war. For the sake of Qiangwan's stability and peace, I decided to send a delegation with soldiers and horses to envoy Qiangwan. The mission of this mission was to quell the civil strife and assist the prince in his succession. Therefore, the choice of ambassador to lead the mission is particularly important. I and the ministers thought about many candidates, and I finally chose you. ”

Wan Lin never dreamed that such a heavy burden would fall on his shoulders, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, and he did not doubt that he was incompetent, but he felt a little incredible.

There are many talented people in the court, why would the emperor let him, who has only been an official for less than a year, has no experience in leading troops, and can only talk about soldiers on paper, to hold such an important position?

Wan Lin saw his ardent hope for himself from the emperor's eyes, and he had both fighting spirit and gratitude in his heart.

The emperor saw that Wan Lin did not react immediately after hearing his decision, thinking that Wan Lin was frightened.

After all, Wan Lin is too young and has no experience as an envoy, not to mention that this time it is not just an envoy, although he shouted loudly, but he really knew that what he was going to do was frightened.

The emperor immediately put away his serious look and smiled at Wan Lin, "Hehe, Wan Aiqing doesn't need to panic. I'm just talking to you. This is indeed a bit difficult for you, and I will not force it. ”

"No, Your Majesty has misunderstood. The minister did not panic, let alone retreat. The minister felt that His Majesty could trust the minister so much and entrust such an important matter to the minister, which really flattered the minister! ”

Wan Lin knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor as he spoke, and said loudly with the determination to win: "Although the minister was born in a poor family, he is only shallow in learning, and he has no experience in envoys, let alone seen any great world, but the minister will definitely complete the envoy to Qiang Wan, help Qiang Wan calm down the civil strife, assist the new king to ascend the throne, and live up to his mission, right Your Majesty's trust in the minister!" ”
