"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Weizi and Doctor Zhang Qian have important matters to see. ”

An attendant went up to Lutai to report, the king frowned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, chatting with Daji in Xingtou, how could anyone disturb him. No matter what the big thing is, compared to the beauty, it doesn't matter.

Daji's eyes moved, and he persuaded: "Your Majesty, since they are all here, you can simply meet them and see what the big thing is." If their words do not match the truth, they will be punished for the crime of lying about the military situation. ”

The king smiled and said, "What the royal wife said is very true!"

After a while, Weizi and Zhang Qian went up to Lutai and walked to the dripping eaves to pay their respects.

The king glanced at the two of them, and was not angry: "What happened to the widow you two saw?"

The cloud sideburns and flowers are shaking, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night. Since taking Daji as a concubine, the number of times the king has been in the early dynasty has been counted with both hands, and after the death of Wen Taishi, he has become more and more unscrupulous, self-indulgent, and even more moody.

Zhang Qian was in a good mood, so he waited for King Long Yan Dayue to be promoted to his own official. But when he saw Daji beside him, he chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good, how dangerous Daji was this woman, he couldn't be more clear, and he could completely influence the decision of the king.

This chamberlain is also true, you said that Daji was also there, and you and Weizi would not have met the king at this time.

Weizi replied: "Back to my emperor, Deng Jiugong broke the Xiqi army a few days ago, and annihilated 50,000 in a battle, which is an unprecedented victory. ”

When the king heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "Okay, this Deng Jiu has made great achievements, and it is not in vain that the widow has always trusted him and supported him again and again. ”

Zhang Qian secretly wiped his sweat, the king of Xuan would really take credit, it was his strong support for Deng Jiugong. However, the emperor is the emperor, and his words are holy decrees, and what he says is what.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report sent by Deng Jiugong quickly, please take a look. ”

The king of Xuan let people come up, and he was still very impressed by Deng Jiugong, this is a courtier who speaks very interestingly.

"Okay, if I have a few more talents like Deng Jiugong, why worry that the border rebellion can't be solved, why worry that the four seas can't be peaceful. "Since his accession to the throne, the rebellion at the border has not stopped, and now it is getting more and more intense, and the court has very weak control over them with eight hundred princes.

To be honest, he is a little tired of war, especially the never-ending war.

Zhang Qian echoed: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but with Deng Jiugong here, Xiqi will calm down sooner or later." As long as Xiqi is pacified, the princes of the other three towns should not worry, and then His Majesty's merits, Weijia Hainei, are comparable to Yao Shun. “

King Xuan was overjoyed and said: "Zhang Qian, if you hadn't repeatedly guaranteed Deng Jiugong, I wouldn't have sent troops to reinforce Xiqi." Therefore, Deng Jiugong was able to make this great contribution, Aiqing, you are a great contribution. ”

Zhang Qian was secretly happy in his heart, but he said modestly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, as a courtier, it is the duty of a minister to serve the state and share the worries of His Majesty, and it is also the honor of a minister." ”

"Okay, the court has loyal ministers and good generals like you, and the widow can rest assured. King Su put aside the battle report and said to Weizi: "Deng Jiu is a great achievement, how does Aiqing think it will be rewarded." ”

Weizi muttered: "Your Majesty, now Deng Jiugong, as the marshal of the Western Expedition, is a senior position in the army, if he goes up, he is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, in charge of the soldiers and horses of a country." ”

"Then he will be promoted to a soldier ......"

Before he could say a word, he coughed next to him, and the king was surprised and asked Daji, "What does the royal wife think?" ”

Daji said: "Your Majesty, although the concubine is a woman, she also knows that the merits cannot be rewarded, and the blessings cannot be enjoyed. Deng Jiugong made meritorious contributions, this time he was appointed as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, if he made greater contributions, how should he be rewarded, it is difficult for His Majesty to make him the prince of the dynasty. ”

King Su said: "The words of the royal wife are reasonable, Deng Jiugong can only be rewarded with a small reward, not a big reward, so as not to be arrogant." ”

Seeing that the king had changed his mind because of Daji's words, Weizi sighed in his heart, and this brother didn't know when he would be able to get out of the beauty. Zhang Qian was not surprised, with Da Ji, it was normal for Deng Jiugong to fall instead of rising.

"I decreed that Deng Jiugong should be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, 10 pairs of jade, 100 pieces of silk cloth, and 10 northern beauties as encouragement. I hope that he will make another great contribution, pacify Xiqi as soon as possible, and appease the hearts of widows. ”

The king made an edict and asked Zhang Qian and Weizi: "Two Qing families, what do you think of such a reward." ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Although Zhang Qian felt that the reward of the king was too stingy, he didn't dare to say it with ten dares, especially in front of Daji. The moodiness of the king, combined with Daji's pillow wind, is an invisible weapon to kill people.

The king nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Qian: "Doctor, you have the wisdom to know people, and the widow should give a reward." ”

Zhang Qian's face flashed red, and he hurriedly said: "It is Your Majesty's wisdom and good use of people that gives Deng Jiugong the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and Weichen just takes advantage of the situation and gets the light of His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to take credit." ”

The king smiled and said, "If the widow says that you are meritorious, you will be meritorious." After Shang Rong's death, the position of prime minister has been empty for a long time, and from today onwards, the widow will make you the prime minister, and work with Weizi to take care of the court for the widow. ”

Zhang Qian was shocked, how could he be qualified for the position of prime minister, and said busily: "Please Your Majesty take back your order, the ministers are afraid, their talents are shallow, and it is really difficult to be qualified for the position of prime minister." ”

Weizi was dumbfounded, he felt that the king was too nonsense, Shang Rong was the elder of the three dynasties, and the position of prime minister was expected by everyone. This Zhang Qian is so young, he has just been promoted to doctor for a few years, and now he is promoted to prime minister, not to mention himself, no one is willing to obey the officials.

An unpopular prime minister, can he do his job well?

The king smiled and said to Daji: "Royal wife, the widow has made many people officials, and they are all happy, and today he was promoted to Zhang Qian's official, and he actually postponed it, this is the first time I have seen it, you say it's strange." ”

Daji glanced at Zhang Qian and replied, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the doctor is a capable person. "Daji is a fox spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years, and his insight into people's hearts has been perfected, this humble mouth said that he was afraid, but in his heart he was only afraid of another thought.

As an official, who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, and sits in a position below one person and above ten thousand.

The widow thinks so, too. ”

The king stared at Zhang Qian and said solemnly: "Zhang Qian, aren't you a fool and a good person." The widow thinks that you are quite talented, so he is vigorously promoted, and you are not allowed to refuse, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the widow, and the widow will send someone to raid your home and demote you to a commoner. ”

Zhang Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, how dare the minister be disrespectful to you, it's just that the position of prime minister is important, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

The king frowned and said: "Think twice, do you need to think twice, let me ask you, do you want to do this official or not!"

Zhang Qian glanced at Weizi, puffed up his chest, and said, "Since Your Majesty values Weichen so much, Weichen will go all out to assist Your Majesty in managing the dynasty." "Since the king must be the prime minister himself, it is difficult for him to retreat with his whole body, so it is better to obey the order.

His Royal Highness Weizi is usually good friends with him, and with him helping him, he is also a little sure. Besides, there is a king on it to shield himself from the wind and rain, as long as Deng Jiugong does not suffer defeat, who can pull himself down from the position of prime minister.

The king smiled: "Okay, you can think so, the widow is very pleased." You and the microns step back first. ”

"The minister obeyed. ”

Weizi sighed, turned around and went down the deer platform, the deer platform is so high that you can take in the entire Chaoge scenery, and when he went up, he also took a few breaths, and it was much easier to go down the stairs.

Zhang Qian stared at Weizi's back twice, his face showed a sad face, he became the prime minister so easily, he was like a dream.
