With the departure of Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao, the anger in Wang Jun's heart was also sprinkled, and he calmed down a lot, and said to Su Xian: "Clear the Wenhua Hall within a hundred steps, and you can go out too!" ”

"Old slave, obey." Su Xian bowed and said.

Seeing that Su Xian had already walked to the door, Wang Jun suddenly spoke, and said, "Wait, now that the concubine is pregnant and lives in the Fairy Mansion, you will send a few palace maids to serve later, all of whom have just entered the palace this year, can you understand?" ”

Su Xian understood what Wang Jun meant as soon as he heard it, there were a lot of messy things in the palace, and Zhao Ling'er was pregnant, so it was difficult to ensure that some jealous people would behave irrationally, so he nodded knowingly and said, "The old slave understands." ”

After a while, all the surroundings of the Wenhua Hall were emptied, Wang Jun looked at a few people, and said lightly: "Yin Ruozhuo has already returned to my Da Zhao, and the next plan is to solve the problem of Nanzhao Kingdom."

However, the matter of Kaifeng Mansion has given me a reminder, those so-called Jianghu people, they may hoe the strong and help the weak on weekdays, and kill the evil and evil, but it does not mean that they will not go against the government, just like the theft of seals in Kaifeng Mansion, maybe they will not steal seals in the government, but there have been cases of killing officials. ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng and the Eight Sages saw each other's doubts at a glance, and immediately knew that the other party did not understand what layout Da Zhao had in Nanzhao, but he was afraid that the two of them would be silent when they heard it for the first time.

I only heard Zhuge Liang say lightly: "Back to the emperor, Nameless has settled down in Nanzhao Kingdom, and at the same time arranged three hundred black-clothed guards to listen to him."

On the other hand, according to the emperor's will, he secretly transferred General Zhang Liao to Queensland, accompanied by 10,000 night troops, which was enough to play a role in the Nanzhao State incident and ensure the safety of the concubine. ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng and the Eight Sages were shocked when they heard this, such a major incident had happened in the army, and the two of them did not receive any news at all, and they couldn't help but sigh that Wang Jun had a big plan.

The Eight Sages King looked at Wang Jun's satisfied expression, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, won't your big move cause the dissatisfaction of Nanzhao Kingdom?" ”

Wang Jun shook his head and said, "No, all my actions are carried out in secret, if I don't say it today, I'm afraid that even the two of you won't know, not to mention that the current leader of the Nanzhao Kingdom is the Moon Worship Sect Master, and with his strength, he is confident that he can defeat the army." ”

It doesn't matter if Prime Minister Wang doesn't know about the affairs of Nanzhaoguo, but the main commander of the forbidden army in the capital will leave, and now who can replace Zhang Liao, Prime Minister Wang frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the old minister doesn't know whether to say or not?" ”

A trace of surprise crossed Wang Jun's eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Prime Minister Wang said." ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding, General Zhang Liao is the commander of the forbidden army, and now he has left the post of commander of the forbidden army and secretly went south to Queensland, so the forbidden army will have no commander now, and the minister is afraid that it may shake the morale of the army after a long time." ”

Wang Jun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng immediately shook his head when he heard this, after so many years of official career, he had already seen that Wang Jun had adhered to the strategy of not managing each other in the civil and military forces over the years, how could he lose his reputation when he was old, and said: "Please forgive the old man for being dizzy, I don't know which general can take over the position of General Zhang Liao." ”

Turning his head to look at the Eight Sages King, Wang Jun smiled and said, "Does the Eighth Lord have a recommended handsome talent?" ”

To tell the truth, the best candidate in the mind of the Eight Sages King is Di Qing, or Wang Yanzhang, Di Qing is stronger in terms of commandery, and Wang Yanzhang's personal strength is higher, the most important thing is that he is still a royal clansman, but he also understands that Wang Jun hates people to meddle in the army the most.

The other armies are okay to say, but the forbidden army of the Gongwei Jingshi, who is really unlucky to interfere, bowed his head slightly, and said: "The old minister has no one to recommend, and I also ask the emperor to judge." ”

Wang Jun closed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "The two old foxes, even if they have ideas, they don't dare to say it, but if they say it, they will have a headache, and this forbidden army will need to guard the Beijing Division in the future." ”

Knocking on the table, he said slowly: "I intend to let Di Qing succeed Zhang Liao, although his strength is weaker, but his ability to command the army is not inferior to Zhang Liao, and he has a unique insight into the military formation, and the strength of the forbidden army with him will not weaken." What do you guys think? ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng and the Eight Sages knew that they were not suitable for talking, so they waited for Zhuge Liang to speak first, and then listened to Zhuge Liang: "Emperor Shengming, at this time, the forbidden army should seek stability and not make a big move, I believe that there will be no problems with Di Qing in charge." ”

Although the most desired candidate of the Eight Sages King in his heart is Wang Yanzhang, Di Qing is not bad, and in a way he is stronger than Wang Yanzhang, bowing down and saying: "The emperor is Shengming." ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng had no opinion, he had no intention of interfering in the forbidden army, and followed: "The emperor is sage." ”

"Okay, since you have unanimously agreed, Di Qing will take over as the next commander of the forbidden army." Wang Jun nodded. "Speaking of which, I also recruited Fan Zhongyan back, do you have any opinions on his arrangement?"

As the head of the civil officials, Prime Minister Wang Cheng, as soon as he heard that it was the transfer of the old man, he had a plan to recommend Fan Zhongyan before, but unfortunately Wang Jun had other arrangements for Fan Zhongyan at that time, and he never thought that Fan Zhongyan, who had left the court for five years, had no belief that Fan Zhongyan was going to come back, and said:

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows a lot about Fan Zhongyan, and he has the idea of recommending him as a squire in the military department in the past, but he has not learned about him carelessly over the years, so the minister suggested that he first enter the Yushitai to understand for a period of time, and then make specific arrangements."

The Eight Sages King shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Wang Cheng didn't dare to agree with these words, as far as the minister knows, in recent years, Fan Zhongyan has been in Shuchuan City as a political party, not only vigorously promoting commerce, but also improving local agriculture, so the minister recommended him to enter the household department. ”

I heard Zhuge Liang smile and said: "Actually, the two suggestions of the Eight Sages King and Prime Minister Wang Cheng are feasible, but the minister suggested that Lord Fan Zhongyan should be allowed to enter the military department.

Originally, the Ministry of War had mobilized the army and promoted generals, but since the emperor cut off this function, the Ministry of War has actually become the logistics of the three armies, and the main job has been changed to build armor, prepare military rations, recruit soldiers, and so on.

And Fan Zhongyan not only has a lot of achievements in government affairs, but also has some understanding of the art of war, at least he can be said to know soldiers. If he enters the military department, he will not disrupt the deployment of several other departments, nor will he disturb the constitution of the military department. ”

The Eight Sages King and Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but feel approved when they heard this, before they forgot that it didn't matter if it was Yushitai, but the household officials were full, and if Fan Zhongyan was allowed to enter the household department, he would also kick out the next official, and said in unison: "The ministers agree with what Lord Kong Ming said." ”

"Okay, when Fan Zhongyan returns to Beijing, let him go to the Ministry of War to take office." Wang Jun decided. "Moving on to the next proposal, what solution do you have for those lawless people in the rivers and lakes?"

Prime Minister Wang immediately clenched his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, although those Jianghu people have no laws to speak of, some of them can indeed use some of them to serve the country and the people."

As far as the minister knows, the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance has helped local officials many times to eradicate bandits and demons and monsters who are causing trouble.

There is also Ouyang Chun, the Northern Hero, who has gone to Yongning Pass many times to help the border army resist the Ghost Fang Clan, steal the information of the Ghost Fang Clan, and burn the grain and grass of the Ghost Fang Clan.

There is also the little hero Ai Hu, who has always helped the government to catch the murderer and crack down on criminals.

Therefore, the minister felt that he should not be killed with a shot, and those Jianghu people who were loyal to Zhao Guo should be praised, and those Jianghu people who violated the law should be vigorously cracked down. ”

Wang Jun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Prime Minister Wang Cheng said so much, what do you want to say?" ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng smiled, understanding that Wang Jun was a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the minister's suggestion is to reward these knights who have meritorious service with the country with the next holy decree, and you can reward some wealth for the people of the world to praise."

At the same time, he ordered all state capitals to arrest those who violated the law and discipline, and when necessary, they could order the forbidden troops stationed in the state capital and dispatch them to cooperate with the government to encircle and suppress. ”

The Eight Sages King frowned and said, "If it is a normal time for Prime Minister Wang, your suggestion is very good, but I, Da Zhao, are now preparing to take some actions against the Nanzhao Kingdom. ”

After a pause, he quietly pointed to the roof and said, "There is also a move on there, so we should try not to make a big move, and it is better to make a smooth transition." ”

Wang Jun couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, the words of the Eight Sages King were indeed scheming, and now Da Zhao is mainly stable and can't cause too much turmoil, and asked: "Zhuge Liang, do you have any ideas?" ”

Zhuge Liang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "The minister has an idea, but he doesn't know if it's feasible?" ”

Wang Jun instantly became interested and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to solve those Jianghu people, the best way is to let them have something to do. Now that Da Zhao has not opened a martial arts move for many years, it is better to hold a martial arts event to give those people in the rivers and lakes a chance to participate. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this, those people in the rivers and lakes didn't know the art of war at all, and they couldn't do it in dispatching troops, wouldn't it be a joke to let them participate in the martial arts, and said: "Kong Ming, it's not that the old man looks down on them, there is no problem with those people in the rivers and lakes, but the art of war or something is that they don't know at all, what's the point of letting them see martial arts?" ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Of course I know this about Prime Minister Wang, but we can set up a new yamen and let those so-called people from the rivers and lakes actively participate." ”

In the eyes of the Eight Sages King, Zhuge Liang was still too young and didn't know much about those Jianghu people, so he sighed and said: "Kong Ming, you don't know, those Jianghu people regard entering the official mansion as a shame, and generally call all the Jianghu people who enter the imperial court eagle dogs, so it is impossible for them to enter the imperial court." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said: "You are wrong about this, the Eight Sages King, those people in the rivers and lakes are not unwilling to enter the court to do things, but they just have no way."

Do you really think that those so-called Jianghu people don't have any wishes? No, they have more desires than others, otherwise why are they so keen on fame, so-called martial arts secrets, and so-called treasures, they just want more. ”

The Eight Sages King couldn't help but think about it when he heard it, and found that what Zhuge Liang said was indeed reasonable, except for a few famous knights, most of the people in the rivers and lakes like to eat meat and wine, like gold and silver jewelry, beauties, martial arts cheats, etc., and these courts have, according to Zhuge Liang's thoughts, maybe it really can, and said: "Kong Ming, continue to talk." ”

"This time the martial arts are divided into two kinds, a normal martial arts, they are installed in the barracks as before, as a centurion, a thousand-commander, all first-class martial arts.

The other is the status of reputation, which can give the winner some titles, such as unparalleled in the world, iron lock Hengjiang, sword god, divine fist invincible, etc., and then reward the victory with some gold and silver jewelry, martial arts cheats and manors.

However, in order to allow those Jianghu people to actively participate in martial arts, some sweetness can also be added. For example, the top 100 people in the world can see the official and not worship, the first martial arts is called the first in the world, and the emperor himself decrees the canonization, and another plaque is given, if you are willing, you can enter the super as a military attaché, and he will establish a new six doors to supervise the rivers and lakes. ”

Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but applaud and said: "Good way, in order to attract the participation of those martial arts masters, Lao Chen suggested that in addition to the Jianghu people who are willing to join the imperial court, some false officials can be added to those victors who are unwilling to join the imperial court, so that they can be subject to certain constraints." ”

Wang Jun and the three couldn't help nodding, some people are used to being free and really unwilling to join the imperial court, having those false officials can make them have more face, and they can indeed restrain them to a certain extent.

When he was young, the Eight Sages King had wandered the rivers and lakes, so he had some good feelings for the people in the rivers and lakes, so he thought that he had a certain understanding of those people in the rivers and lakes, and this plan was indeed likely to succeed, and said: "Kong Ming's method is indeed very good, but with my understanding of them, I am afraid that they will create some chaos, and the most important point is that there are likely to be casualties during the competition." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness, they dared to hit the face of the imperial court, they should be punished the consequences, and said: "The Eight Sages King is wrong, even if we don't hold martial arts, there have never been fewer competitions and challenges on the rivers and lakes, and the casualties will be greater at that time, so it is safer to let the imperial court control it." ”

The Eight Sages King couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this, having the imperial court to preside over can indeed reduce the casualties of the Jianghu people, and with the martial arts of the imperial court, he can also absorb some Jianghu people who are willing to join the imperial court, nodded slowly, and said: "This king agrees, but this king still has a question?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the Eight Sages King in surprise and asked, "Dare to ask the prince what other questions does he have?" ”

The Eight Sages King subconsciously looked at Wang Jun and said hesitantly: "We have some government officials who have raised some Jianghu guests, I wonder if they can participate?"

Ahem, ahem, there are some guest secretaries of the imperial court who like power, can they participate? ”

Wang Jun couldn't help but think about it when he heard this, wouldn't it be more like letting them join the martial arts, and at the same time, it could show the attitude of the imperial court that he wanted to absorb the people of the rivers and lakes, but if they died during the martial arts competition, they could only be considered unlucky, and said, "Yes." ”

When the Eight Sages King heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "The ministers and the guests thank the emperor." ”

"There is one thing you have to remember clearly, no matter who the guest and guest qing are, as long as they participate in the martial arts, then there will be life and fortune in the ring." Wang Jun looked deeply at the Eight Sages King.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister understands." The Eight Sages King holds his fists.

"Tomorrow, you will bring this matter up for discussion in the court, and you can go back and prepare!" Wang Jun waved his hand and said.

"The ministers are leaving." The three of them hugged their fists.
