"Your Majesty, I really don't have this ability. In my opinion, Marquis Xunyang is very suitable for this appointment."

Turning against Wang Dun is not what Wang Sheng wants to see.

But this is not what Wang Sheng wants to see, but it is what Sima Yu wants to see.

"Secretary General Zhongshu went on an expedition to Yizhou for me before, and he has only stayed in Luoyang for a day or two. How can he do this again? If I really let Assistant Minister Zhongshu go on an expedition, I am afraid that Princess Xiangcheng will say that I am wrong."

Sima Yu looked serious and thoughtful.

But when everyone heard it, it was a different expression.

Sima Qian, the king of the plains, is naturally smiling.

Although the current emperor is immature in many aspects, he is indeed the best emperor of the Sima family at this stage.

The emperor could understand his good intentions, and Sima Qian was also very pleased.

As for Wang Dun, he is naturally a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings.

Emperor Sima Yu's words left him speechless.

He knew that no matter how much he said, the appointment would not fall on him.

Wang Dun, who was originally in a good mood after returning from Yizhou, couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, it is really difficult for me to take on this responsibility."

If you want me to be a lonely minister, that’s fine!

But if you keep offending others, you will no longer be able to be a lonely minister.

"Don't worry, Marquis Guangyuan, this expedition is still an undecided matter. Even if we really want to conquer Yecheng, I will find suitable helpers for you."

The emperor's words already had other meanings in them.

At this time, Wang Sheng knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

The emperor wanted him to offend people, and he really had to offend people.

"Then, I accept your orders."

"I didn't misjudge you."

Sima Yu nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be in a really good mood.

"Since you have no objections, please leave. Marquis Guangyuan will stay."

"promise."

Sima Yu's different treatment undoubtedly put Wang Sheng on the grill again.

The emperor can only rest assured if he really wants to roast himself into a roasted suckling pig!

After everyone left, Wang Dun looked at Wang Sheng with unfriendly eyes. As for Sima Qian, he smiled and nodded at Wang Sheng, just like a younger generation taking care of a younger generation.

But Wang Sheng is not a fool. He naturally knows the plans of Sima Gan, the king of Pingyuan.

After everyone left, Wang Sheng bowed to Sima Yu and asked, "Your Majesty, you have left me here alone. Do you have anything important to do?"

"Of course it's important."

Sima Yu looked at Wang Sheng with a non-smiling smile.

"I intend for you to make great achievements, but looking at your appearance, I'm not very happy. But what's the secret?"

A kind-hearted boss cares about his subordinates.

However, this boss probably knows my unspeakable secrets.

"Your Majesty, why do you have such an unspeakable secret? I just feel that your qualifications are too low to take on this position."

"Hahaha."

Sima Yu saw through it but didn't say anything about it.

"In Luoyang, if you find it difficult to take on this role, I'm afraid there will be very few people who can do it."

After saying this, Sima Yu took a deep look at Wang Sheng and said: "I know you are afraid of the power of the Langya Wang family, but with me behind you, you don't have to be afraid. After you marry Princess Guangping,

You and I can be said to be part of the same family."

"Wei Chen understands."

"It's good to understand."

It has always been very easy to talk to smart people.

Sima Yu knew what he said, and Wang Sheng had already understood the essence of it.

"Actually, I have other reasons for keeping you here."

Any other reason?

"If your Majesty has any other questions, you can ask them directly."

Sima Yu nodded slightly.

"This Chen Jin belongs to the Chen family of Yingchuan. The Chen family of Yingchuan was close to the King of Qi before, but now the King of Qi has passed away. Who is the power behind this Chen Jin?"

In fact, not only Sima Yu was confused, but Wang Sheng was also slightly confused.

"Chen Zhun Gong died in Luoyang. I'm afraid that the Yingchuan Chen family thought it was His Majesty's doing, so they had a grudge. The Yingchuan Chen family is standing on the opposite side of His Majesty. It's not difficult to understand. It's just that the person guarding Xuchang now is not the King of Qi. This Yingchuan family

It may not be easy for the Chen family to get close to King Qi."

"You're right. Sima Rui is just a common man, so there's nothing to be afraid of. The Yingchuan Chen family naturally looks down on him, but besides Sima Rui and King Qi, who else can he get close to?"

"Your Majesty, won't you discuss this matter again in three days? In three days, not only will things in Yecheng become much clearer, but the fox tail of people like Chen Jin can also be caught in time."

Sima Yu nodded slightly.

He agreed with Wang Sheng's words.

"It's just that I am in Luoyang, Xuchang, Ye, Chengdu, and Chang'an, which are beyond my reach. The king's power is so great that it really feels like a chokehold on my throat."

"But it may not be easy for the sect kings to hand over their power. Those sect kings are used to being arrogant, how can they accept your majesty's restraints? Furthermore, I'm afraid those sect kings are also afraid of your majesty's revenge after losing power."

Sima Yu nodded slightly.

It is indeed redundant to leave behind so many people who are senior to me.

After Sima Yu became emperor, his heart became harder and harder.

"I heard that that girl Xiang'er has always been in contact with Xianyang Palace. I wonder if this is the case?"

Wang Sheng felt awe-struck in his heart, but the color on his face was as usual.

"Indeed, the princess and Her Royal Highness the Queen are of the same age, and it is normal for them to get along well."

Wang Sheng glanced at Sima Yu and said, "If your Majesty feels something is wrong, I will tell the princess later."

"No need, it's just a small matter, haha."

The matter that the emperor specifically raised was naturally not a trivial matter.

Sima Yu looked at Wang Sheng.

The reason why he specifically mentioned this was because he wanted Wang Sheng and the Langya Wang family to get closer.

Now Wang Sheng is still too close to the Langya Wang family.

As for whether Princess Guangping should go to visit the queen, Sima Yu also felt that it was necessary.

Speaking of which, he still felt a little guilty towards Wang Huifeng.

The queen has done nothing wrong, but he has been alienated...

However, whenever Sima Yu had this thought in his mind, he would think: I am the emperor, and I cannot have selfish motives for my children when it comes to political matters.

When I think about it like this, my softened heart immediately becomes harder than iron.

"My dear, you don't have to do the matter of reviewing memorials. You have to supervise the formation of troops these days, and you also have to go to the central army more often to learn how to lead troops. You can't just be knowledgeable. This immediate effort,

There still needs to be some.”

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I will remember it."

The power to review memorials originally belonged to the emperor.

Handing this power to Wang Sheng naturally shows that he values ​​Wang Sheng.

Now that this power has been taken back, Wang Sheng is not unhappy at all.

If it's not yours, you can't get it.

Although the emperor in front of him hates politics, he still has many merits compared to those idiot emperors.

At the very least, his target emperor was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

"That way, everything will be fine. Just go down."

"promise."

Wang Sheng backed away slowly.

Since there were no errands to do at Tai Chi Hall, Wang Sheng went to the small courtyard where Princess Guangping was before noon.

At the same time, several carriages were parked outside a manor in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

Looking at the specifications, they all belong to noble houses.

And this manor belongs to the Chen family of Yingchuan.

Now of course it belongs to Chen Jin.

In the manor, there is another scene.

Although it is a thatched cottage and a stone pavilion.

But against the background of spring flowers and trees, it shows elegance.

In the flowing water, everyone has his or her seat.

At the top of the list is naturally the owner of the manor, Chen Jin.

Below Chen Jin were two acquaintances of Wang Sheng.

One is Zuo Si, whose beard and hair are all white, and the other is Pan Yue, who is much haggard.

Behind the two men was a man dressed as a middle-aged scholar, Liu Yu.

He is the descendant of the Liu family in Zhongshan, and is also a brother of Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou.

Walking on the opposite side to Liu Yu was an old man. This man was also one of the twenty-four friends of Jingu. He was Du Bin, Du Yu's brother.

The twenty-four friends of Jingu were still able to gather together, which made the people present very emotional.

"Chen Zhizi gathered us here, what's the matter?"

Zuo Si was now extremely afraid of the turmoil in the court, and would refuse to see anyone who invited him. That is to say, Chen Jin had a good relationship with him before, so he only went out once.

"I heard that Chen Zhizi had a very eloquent speech during today's court meeting. Could it be that your coming here today has something to do with it?"

Although Pan Yue is idle at home, it seems that he is still very well-informed.

Chen Jin looked at Zuo Si and Pan Yue and nodded lightly.

"It is indeed related to this matter."

Zuo Si frowned, and Pan Yue moved his buttocks. If Chen Jin said something more, he might have to stand up and leave.

Chen Jin naturally saw the scene in front of him.

He sighed softly and said: "When Mr. Lu was here, I was so miserable. Even speaking at gatherings was like sitting on pins and needles."

Lu Gong, of course, refers to Jia Mi.

"There is no need to talk about what happened back then. What's the use of talking about it now?"

Pan Yue shook his head gently.

He relied on Jia Mi at that time for the sake of smooth official career. After Jia Mi lost power, his political life was basically over.

Although he has no power, he still has some wealth and reputation, and His Majesty is considered generous now, which does not make it difficult for him to survive.

So...

That's enough.

Even Pan Yue felt a little relaxed.

After being idle at home, he also had more time to study literature. Now that he had abandoned those political intrigues, Pan Yue felt that he had made progress in literature and poetry.

"Has Pan Yue become what he is now?"

"Chen Naizi, I know that Chen Zhun Gong is dead. I'm afraid you have some grudges in your heart, but now that it's over, let's just let it go. Today's court is completely different from what it was a few years ago.

.”

Liu Yu also sighed lightly.

Although his family is doing well and has not been implicated too much, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all.

"Since you can't reach out for matters in the court, why not recite the wind and moon? Talking and debating can be passed down to future generations, and it will not lose its good reputation."

"You think so clearly, but I am not so open-minded."

Chen Jin's hand holding the wine bottle was slightly harder, and the expression on his face was no longer as graceful as before, but became very ferocious.

"I want to find out how my father died."

"Wei Ting has already given the answer, it's a fire."

"There were several fires that day. King Qi died and my father also died. Don't you think it's a little weird? A little weird?"

Zuo Si patted the dust beneath him and stood up.

"If Chen Nagzi invited me here because of this matter, then please let me resign."

"Master Zuo, wait a moment."

Chen Jin stopped Zuo Si with a smile.

"In fact, the reason why I invite you here today is not to listen to my complaints. In other words, the person who invites you here today is not me, but someone else."

"Who are you working for?"

Pan Yue heard a different meaning from Chen Jinde's mouth.

"I won't hide anything from you now. I am working for the King of Qi. If I invite you to come over, you will also be the King of Qi."

King of Qi?

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yu laughed first and then said: "The King of Qi is still young, and it is strange that Chen Yanzi is willing to pay for his life."

"The King of Qi is benevolent and righteous and does what is kingly. I will work for the King of Qi and get rid of the evildoers. Why not?"

"Chen Nagzi, what you want has nothing to do with us, so I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Zuo Si didn't know that Chen Jin just wanted to drag him into trouble.

How does this happen?

He will live longer.

Even if he doesn't have a few years to live.

"Hahaha, I think you want to leave, but you won't be able to leave today."

Inside the thatched cottage, a clear voice came.

After hearing this voice, you knew it was young.

"Who are you?"

The people in the thatched cottage had no intention of playing charades with the people present and walked out directly.

He was a handsome young man. Pan Yue saw that he was not an ordinary person because of his extraordinary clothes and majestic appearance.

"Since he is a guest and the guest wants to leave, how can the host prevent him from leaving?"

"If it had been before, if the guests wanted to leave, they could leave, but now that you have heard these things and still want to leave, I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?"

"I swear that what happened today will be kept in my heart and will not be told to anyone else."

The young man Junyan smiled contemptuously and said: "Compared to the living, the dead are better at keeping secrets."

"Who is your Excellency?"

"I'm Sima Bing."

Sima Bing?

Pan Yue reacted immediately.

"Is it the Marquis of Guangyang?"

Sima Bing is the second son of Sima Jiong.

"The Marquis of Guangyang actually arrived here."

By now, Pan Yue, Liu Yu, Zuo Si and others already knew that this was Chen Jin's trap.

My former friend is now trying to harm me.

Zuo Si was so depressed that he almost spit out the blood.

"I came here to meet you all."

Pan Yue was good at talking. He rolled his eyes and said, "We are all powerless people. Why did the Marquis of Guangyang see us?"

Sima Bing smiled softly and said: "Although you have no power, you are not powerless. Leaders in the literary world and among the scholars, some of them respect Zuo Gong and Pan Gong."

"I don't dare take this matter seriously."

"Actually, my father asked me to come here today just for one thing."

Pan Yuegang wanted to say, I won't do anything for you.

But Sima Bing's words stunned him for a moment.
Chapter completed!
