Wang Ze and Liu Xinyan are the same age, in their early thirties, but they have a good-looking skin.

Wang Ze's face is as white as jade, his eyebrows are like swords, he is handsome, and he is also wearing a dark green official uniform, but he has a noble air that Liu Xinyan does not have.

At the same time, as a foreigner, Wang Ze has been dealing with poetry and books all the year round, although he is not as talented as Liu Xinyan, but he is also a little bookish.

All of the above makes Wang Ze a fatal temptation for women in the imperial capital.

And unlike Liu Xinyan's background, Wang Ze was born in a noble family, and he has been exposed to officialdom since he was a child, and his scheming is incomparable to a stunned young man like Liu Xinyan.

Wang Shangshu sent Sun Shangshu back to the hall, sat on the main seat, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and said, "What the hell do you kid have?"

Wang Ze has a flexible brain and strong eyesight, but his image is good, so he is deeply appreciated by Wang Shangshu.

If it weren't for that, Wang Ze wouldn't have had the opportunity to accompany him in the hall just now.

Wang Ze also listened to Sun Shangshu's words, and another plan came to his mind.

Of course, this plan can only be self-serving at the expense of others.

At this stage, for Wang Ze, the most important thing is to win the position of Si Feng Langzhong.

So the person targeted by this plan is also Liu Xinyan.

"Sun Shangshu has a headache for the transformation of Long Yuan, why don't we send a favor and recommend someone for him." Wang Ze opened his mouth and said.

Wang Shangshu knew Wang Ze well, and knew that this kid was a clever ghost and didn't have much serious talent, so he continued to drink tea, and just asked casually.

"Oh? Do you know a soul giver who can engrave the Hanging Bridge Array?"

"My lord, you can't invite someone to come, how can you get acquainted with Xiaguan He De."

"And who do you recommend?" Wang Shangshu put down the teacup and asked.

"Liu Xinyan!"

"Ridiculous!"

Wang Shangshu slapped the table when he heard this, of course he knew what Wang Ze had in mind, it was nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to pit Liu Xinyan.

Liu Xinyan is indeed more talented than Wang Ze, but Wang Shangshu is also clear about his subordinates, and Liu Xinyan will never be able to handle this matter.

"What's the difference between that and shooting yourself in the foot?!"

Although Wang Shangshu has been constantly looking for trouble with Liu Xinyan during this time, this can only be regarded as a lesson for "his own people" behind closed doors.

But if this is recommended, the matter will not be done, and it will be the brand of the ministry that will be smashed. And this matter involves the eldest princess, if it is not done well, he Wang Shangshu will also be implicated.

Wang Ze didn't panic, but instead sat next to Wang Shangshu and said, "Don't worry, sir, listen to me."

"Of course it can't be an adult to recommend Liu Xinyan, you go and mention it to Sun Shangshu, we can arrange for Liu Xinyan to go to the Ministry of Rites by himself to "recommend himself". At that time, if Liu Xinyan does not succeed in transforming Long Yuan, the eldest princess will blame you, and you will say that Liu Xinyan recommended herself, and it has nothing to do with the officials."

"If Liu Xinyan really does it, then Sun Shangshu will definitely accept your affection, and he can also show himself in front of the eldest princess."

Wang Shangshu's face softened a little when he heard this, but he still said, "Where is it so simple, if Liu Chengyan doesn't succeed, do you think you can fool the past with my words alone? Besides, how should Sun Shangshu explain it, isn't this equivalent to cheating him in disguise, they are all colleagues, this move is inappropriate."

Wang Ze was not discouraged, he already had an idea in his heart, and then said: "If Liu Xinyan doesn't succeed, if you only mention that Liu Xinyan was recommended by Mao Sui, of course the eldest princess and Sun Shangshu will think that you are shirking."

"So what else can I do?"

"If you offer another plan, the eldest princess and Sun Shangshu will naturally not think that you are shirking."

"If you sell it like this, you'll get out!" Wang Shangshu was a little annoyed.

Wang Ze smiled and immediately spoke, "At that time, my lord, you will first explain to the eldest princess and Sun Shangshu that you went to the Ministry of Industry to ask for help but could not ask for a soul empowerer, so you can only shift your gaze from Long Yuan to the road."

"On the way?"

「

Yes, the bumpy car is because the road is bumpy, so let the Ministry of Rites send someone to smooth the route of the autumn hunt, and if it doesn't work, pave the stone slabs."

It's not a good idea, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it's a no-brainer.

Wang Shangshu nodded, his face still showing a hint of hesitation.

Seeing this, Wang Ze added a fire.

"The most important thing is that if Liu Xinyan doesn't do this, he will offend the eldest princess, and then he will use this to make him resign himself. Isn't this vacant outsider a good place for that champion?"

When Wang Ze said this, Wang Shangshu's eyes lit up.

Of course, he knew that the champion Wang Ze was talking about was not Yun Xuezhi, but the illegitimate son of Lord Shang Shuling.

The position of a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no real power, and in the subconscious of civil and military officials, it is just an iron rice bowl.

But for Shang Shuling, it is the best position to arrange his illegitimate son, which will not make the emperor feel that he has touched the bottom line, and at the same time, he is by his side, and he can usually take care of one or two.

When Wang Shangshu thought of this, he immediately felt that this plan was very secondary.

In Wang Shangshu's opinion, compared to the eldest princess, it is more necessary to hold Shangshu's thighs tightly.

Wang Shangshu was still silent on the surface, but he was already a little happy in his heart.

It just so happened that during this time, he was planning to knock Liu Xinyan, and this plan could be called killing two birds with one stone at this time.

The two of them immediately finalized the plan.

In the yamen of the ministry, Wang Shangshu sat on the main seat, and three foreign officials stood in front of him.

Wang Shangshu told the three of them about the transformation of the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot, and then bowed his head to drink tea, leaving time for the three to think.

Wang Ze stood on the far right and bowed his head silently, while Li Dong and Liu Xinyan looked at each other.

What does this ministry have to do with us?

Li Dong and Liu Xinyan were a little confused about what Wang Shangshu meant.

In the end, Li Dong stubbornly asked, "Lord Shangshu, this matter of the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with us, right?" And we don't know how to transform the dragon, is Lord Sun asking the wrong person?"

Wang Shangshu didn't speak, and Wang Ze was needed to come forward at this time.

"Lord Shangshu, the lower officials think that Lord Li has a point. However, this transformation of the dragon chariot not only involves the Ministry of Rites, but also involves the eldest princess, and if it can be properly handled, it will definitely be appreciated by the eldest princess."

When Li Dong heard this, he laughed on the surface, but in his heart he had infinite contempt for Wang Ze's blatant inflammation.

And Liu Xinyan on the side said unceremoniously: "If you want to get the eldest princess is appreciation, it also depends on whether you have the ability, how can we do the transformation of the dragon chariot."

Wang Ze was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Things are man-made, and there is a way to do everything."

Liu Xinyan couldn't see Wang Ze's cozy attitude the most, and immediately wanted to reason with Wang Ze, but was stopped by Wang Shangshu on the main seat.

"Okay, Wang Ze has some truth in what he said."

For Wang Shangshu to favor Wang Ze, Li Dong and Liu Xinyan did not feel unusual.

Wang Shangshu continued: "The autumn hunt is a major event in the imperial court during this time, Shang Shuling led the six departments to plan together, and the other five departments spared no effort, but our officials have not contributed much from beginning to end."

"This is an opportunity for the officials, and even more so for you. The opportunity to show your talents in front of Lord Shang Shuling and the eldest princess, although this matter is indeed not within your ability, Wang Ze is not wrong at all, it is man-made."

Wang Shangshu's remarks were the final statement, and our officials must participate in this matter.

According to Liu Xinyan's past character, he will inevitably "argue with reason" with Wang Shangshu at this time. But thinking that he had been registered here with Wang Shangshu during this time, Liu Xinyan finally held back.

Wang Shangshu was very satisfied when he saw that Li Dong and Liu Xinyan did not say anything against it, and then glanced at Wang Ze.

After Wang Ze got the signal, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, the lower officials are not talented, I want to try it."

Li Dong scoffed at Wang Ze's performance again, he was really a villain, Ren

He will not miss the opportunity to perform in front of the leader.

"Wang Ze, your attitude is good, but this official also knows that you have a lot of work at hand recently, and your energy and ability are limited, so you shouldn't get involved in this matter." Wang Shangshu said euphemistically.

Wang Ze smiled and retreated.

Li Dong smiled secretly in his heart, this is beautiful, but in fact, it doesn't mean that you can't do it, boy.

But before Li Dong finished laughing, he saw Wang Shangshu glance at him, and then skipped over himself.

"Shinhiko, I'll leave this matter to you."

Wang Shangshu said to Liu Xinyan with a smile.

Liu Xinyan frowned, no matter what, he couldn't imagine why this matter would fall on his head.

It stands to reason that whether it is Wang Ze or Li Dong, either of the two is more suitable than himself. At least these two people's social circle is much wider than their own, and they naturally have more ways than themselves.

"The subordinate is not up to the task."

Liu Xinyan was as simple as ever, which directly made Wang Shangshu unable to step down again.

However, this time Wang Shangshu had expected it, so he didn't give up immediately, but said, "Xinyan, this is a good opportunity, and there is no need to say more about the eldest princess. If you do a good job, the official of Shang Shuling can also say a few kind words for you, after all, you also know that Shang Shuling is not very satisfied with your recent work, and this is an opportunity to make amends."

Liu Xinyan was obviously even more disgusted by this kind of persuasion, his brows tightened, and he couldn't bear to say something unpleasant.

Li Dong on the side knew Liu Xinyan well, and knew that he was going to offend Wang Shangshu again, so he hurriedly played sloppy on the side.

"Lord Shangshu, what Liu Xinyan means is that he is afraid of living up to your expectations, and if he can't do it, won't it smear your face."

Wang Shangshu glanced at Li Dong and said coldly, "Liu Xinyan can't do it, so you come?"

Li Dong was stunned, he knew that this was a hot potato.

Wang Shangshu snorted when he saw that Li Dong had nothing to say, and then turned to Liu Xinyan and said in a kind tone, "Xinyan, this official is also for your good. You don't have to be pressured, I won't blame you if you can't do it, and I will let you know in advance from Master Sun, and I believe he will understand your intentions."

Hearing these words, even the eldest grandson, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but complain that this was under the banner of "good for you", and it was not a human being.

In the end, under the coercion and temptation of Wang Shangshu, this matter fell on Liu Xinyan without any accidents.

When he was about to retire, Wang Shangshu did not forget to tell Liu Xinyan to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to recommend himself now, and he would not accompany him.

Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, who were full of discussions, didn't know that Wang Shangshu's last explanation was to get rid of their involvement after the failure of the matter in the future.

The most important thing is that the two of them don't know that Wang Shangshu and Wang Ze plan to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Xinyan.
