This person is the newly appointed squire of the Ministry of War, because Cui Zhaoquan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, recently took sick leave and is in bed, and the squire of the Ministry of War can barely be regarded as holding a meeting here on behalf of the Ministry of War.

At this time, the squire of the military department stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is a person who is very suitable. ”

Everyone present immediately pricked up their ears and stared at this soldier squire.

Because this soldier is obviously the imperial party, even more obvious than the previous imperial history, he jumped out at this time and said who he wanted to recommend, and everyone present immediately knew it.

This is singing a double reed with the emperor, it seems that the emperor already has a candidate in mind!

It's just that the emperor used this one, why on the end? You must know that the system is the system, and even if it is the emperor, he will not change it at will.

But seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry, he asked slowly, "Who does Qing want to recommend?"

The squire of the military department replied: "The minister recommended Lord Luo Peiluo, and the minister believes that Lord Luo is the best candidate to go to the southwest. ”

"Oh? You recommend Lord Luo, but what reason do you have?" The emperor glanced at his sons who were almost unable to hold back their expressions, and that glance made King Qi, who was about to stand up and refute, retract directly.

The squire of the military department has long had a plan in his heart, so he is naturally not in a hurry: "The minister recommended Lord Luo because Lord Luo went to the southwest, and he had more advantages than others. ”

"Lord Luo is good at water control, and in his early years, he even supervised the naval army, and the southwest is near the sea, water bandits are rampant, and floods are often raging. ”

"If you change someone else, I'm afraid it won't be as suitable as Lord Luo. ”

The emperor listened and nodded: "What you say is reasonable. ”

He looked at Luo Pei and asked, "Luo Qing's family, are you willing to go to the southwest?"

As early as when the squire of the military department recommended himself, Luo Pei's heart sank.

The governor of the southwest province is indeed a feudal official, and if he stays in the southwest for a few years, as long as he comes back with merits, he can't say that he will be able to become a second assistant in the future, and then go up, maybe he can expect to be the first assistant before he dies.

This matter is indeed not harmful to him, but it is ...... for the acting king But in this scene, there was no reason to refuse, Luo Pei fell to his knees, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is willing to go, but he is afraid of disappointing the emperor's high expectations......"

"Luo Qing's family is too modest, your talent, I know it in my heart, if you are willing, then it will be decided. ”

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with the recommendation of Luo Pei by the squire of the military department, and he didn't wait for others to recommend him again, and immediately asked Zhao Gonggong to draft the decree.

"Luo Pei, I will order you to be the governor of Southwest Province, and you will take office in three days!"

"Minister...... Obey!" Luo Pei could only slam his head on the ground and receive the order.

The emperor spoke, and then some people were unwilling, but they slapped the board in public, and the matter became a foregone conclusion.

King Qi was better, but he was depressed that he had lost this opportunity on his side, and he actually benefited Luo Pei!

Thinking about it again, Luo Pei seems to have been getting close to the acting king recently, and he squinted his eyes to look at the acting king on the side, and his eyes were a little wrong

But even if he is so depressed, he is much better than the King of Shu.

After all, he quickly thought of one point, that is, if this matter is put on himself, the King of Shu, and even the King of Lu, it must be a great thing and a big bargain.

After all, the party is not small, and if one is released to be the governor, he will control the military and political affairs of a province.

But on the acting king, it is a little different, the acting king seems to be so far, only Luo Pei is a minister who has taken refuge?

Thinking of this, King Qi's expression changed.

The emperor didn't want the acting king to really form a party and form a force? So as soon as there was a sign of it, he immediately pressed it - after all, the union between Luo Pei and the acting king did not last long, and what deep feelings could there be?

Once Luo Pei goes to the southwest, the two sides are separated by tens of millions of miles, even if they are relatives, they will be indifferent after a long time, let alone this kind of alliance of half monarchs and half ministers?

You must know that when it comes to the third grade, unless you become the emperor, you can't talk about the relationship between the monarch and the minister, you need each other.

"But if you really want to replace the king according to death, you can directly transfer Luo Pei to the cold bench, why do you want to entrust him with a heavy task?" Thinking about this, King Qi couldn't bear it again.

At this time, the King of Shu really regretted it.

Before Luo Pei was released from prison, he had already made the King of Shu regret it once, but after that, although Luo Pei recovered his grade, he was squeezed out of the center of power, and although the emperor occasionally summoned Luo Pei, he did not arrange errands for Luo Pei, which made the King of Shu regret a little lighter.

He felt that even if Luo Pei was reinstated, because he had been in prison before, his father would never be able to trust Luo Pei again, because as an emperor, there are people available at any time, and he can choose someone who has no grievances against him, so why take the risk and choose a person who was innocently imprisoned by himself?

Things should have developed like this, but today's incident was like a muffled thunder, smashing on the head of the King of Shu.

Compared with the depression of King Qi who simply missed an opportunity, the King of Shu also endured the possibility of being ridiculed for being "unkind" and "blind".

When the emperor dropped two thunderbolts in a row, the kings and ministers who had blown them up were full of suspicion and left satisfied, and everyone present was silent for a moment before they got up and rushed out.

Su Ziji and the other three kings, no one cared about anyone, they each went their own way, and as soon as they went out, they didn't go far when they found footsteps approaching them, and they stopped and looked back, it was Luo Pei who came.

"Lord Luo, congratulations on your promotion. Su Ziji said with a smile.

Luo Pei was not happy and worried, and said: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the king." ”

The other party's worries, Su Ziji immediately understood.

Luo Pei was worried that he was the only minister in the camp of the acting king, but now the emperor sent him far to the southwest, although he became the governor, but this distance was too far.

Especially Luo Pei obviously took refuge in the acting king, in the eyes of many people, he was far away, and he didn't have a long-term emotional foundation, so he slowly broke away from the acting king's camp.

The emperor didn't want to let himself form a party with the acting king, and such a thought came to Luo Pei's heart.

Su Ziji was silent and patted Luo Pei's shoulder: "Just these words, you can see Qing's loyalty, but don't worry, the emperor's intentions are all expected by me, you work hard in the southwest, and you will listen to my good news." ”

Because he was in the palace, Luo Pei had just been promoted, so it was not easy to say too much, and after saying this, Su Ziji turned around and left.

Luo Pei looked at the back of the acting king gradually moving away, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

At the same time, many ministers were full of confusion, and a squire muttered: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Is it to support the acting king and reuse him and his people, or transfer away the acting king's henchmen and let the acting king charge into battle and only be cannon fodder?

The emperor's thoughts, why can't he figure it out?

At this time, Shoufu Zhao Xu passed by him, just heard this muttering, snorted, and warned: "No matter what the emperor means, this is also something that the courtiers can guess?"

"Why don't you go back and think about it behind closed doors and wait for impeachment?"
