At this time, Wu Zheng, who had returned from the Military Affairs Office, happened to come on horseback.

Seeing Qian Sule at the door of his mansion from afar, Wu Zheng jumped off the horse early.

"Why is Lord Qian here? Are you looking for Wu Zheng?" Wu Zhengli saluted all over the place, "If this is true, send a servant to inform him, why do you need Lord Qian to come in person?"

It’s not a big deal that many people are not surprised. Although Qian Sule was so angry that he could only groan and bow casually, he said, “It’s natural that it’s rare to see it when you are busy with official business in the country.”

Wu Zheng quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll ask Lord Qian to discuss in detail in his mansion."

When the two entered the mansion, Ma Shiying happened to arrive.

"My lord, I just got a message from a man from Mo Laosai in Hangzhou Prefecture, saying that there is something important, and I need a lord to go back to Hangzhou Prefecture."

Wu Zhengde said, "What's the matter?"

Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "The sender has never said it, but only said it is of great importance. You will know it after the lord returns to Hangzhou."

Qian Sule next to him mistakenly thought Ma Shiying didn't want to say in front of him, "If there is an urgent matter in the Duke of Zhenguo, why don't Qian avoid it first?"

Wu Zheng hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Can you still avoid Master Qian? Lord Ma, there is no need to avoid Master Qian, just say it clearly."

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly and said, "Ma is really not avoiding Lord Qian. It's really a messenger who didn't say anything."

Qian Sule looked at the expressions of the two of them and realized that he was probably misunderstood.

He coughed dryly and said, "It's Qian who is too worried, I hope Zhenguo will forgive him."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "Mr. Qian is so rude."

Then he turned to Ma Shiying and said, "No matter how urgent the matter is in Hangzhou, it must wait for tomorrow's grand ceremony. Since Mr. Mo has not explained the cause clearly, it is not too urgent. I will make a decision after I finish talking with Lord Qian."

Ma Shiying responded: "Yes."

Looking at the background of Ma Shiying's departure, Qian Sule felt a sigh in his heart.

This is the chief assistant of Hongguang Dynasty, and he even defected to Wu Zheng's command regardless of his identity.

After entering the main hall and sitting down.

Wu Zheng said: "Mr. Qian is here, don't you know what is important to find Wu Zheng?"

Qian Sule said bluntly: "Tomorrow, the court will promote the candidates of the fifth cabinet ministers. Qian is here to ask if there is a suitable candidate for Duke Zhenguo?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "I don't have any suitable candidates."

Qian Sule was surprised when he heard this. He carefully observed Wu Zheng's expression, and it didn't look like false words.

I was so surprised now that I was a misunderstanding among myself?

But Wu Zheng changed his subject at this time and said, "But I just met with Duke Xingguo and Zhang Cangshui, and they unanimously recommended Ma Shiying to me as the candidate for joining the cabinet. I was thinking, and I was about to inform Lord Qian and Lord Chen."

Qian Sule instantly understood and cursed in his heart, "If you don't learn it, just learn this trick."

However, Qian Sule just cursed in his heart and did not speak out.

"Qian thought that something was wrong with Ma Shiying entering the cabinet."

"Why?" Wu Zheng asked casually.

"When Ma Shiying was the chief minister of Hongguang Dynasty, he used slander and confusing the master, being foolish and greedy, not knowing people, and causing harm to loyalty and good reputations. Now our dynasty is determined to be strong and will show a new atmosphere. He will be criticized by the world when he enters the cabinet, so Qian thinks it is inappropriate."

In Qian Sule's opinion, even if Wu Zheng wanted to refute the above four points, he probably had nothing to refute.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng said unexpectedly: "But I think Ma Shiying is available."

Qian Sule was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Zheng to be so direct and... domineering.

This is unreasonable.

Qian Sule suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Even if the Duke Zhenguo is in a high position and has a great power, the court is not a one-man rule. He has to do good things in everything."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "If I want Ma Shiying to enter the cabinet, what will you do?"

Qian Sule was speechless for a moment, yes, what can I do?

What if the knife holds in his hand?

I made a draft of my work all the way when I came, but I was blocked by Wu Zheng's words, without any use.

Qian Sule finally couldn't help it and stood up "scared", asking Wu Zheng to start scolding.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng quickly changed his face and smiled: "Don't be anxious, Wu Zheng just said it casually. What I mean, I originally thought that Ma Shiying was not sociable in the court, and planned to take him back to Hangzhou after the grand court meeting to be the governor of the government. But Duke Xingguo, Zhang Cangshui and others insisted on recommending Ma Shiying to the cabinet. You said that I was just a duke, not a minister of the cabinet, and I had no final say in this matter, so I could only let them do it."

Qian Sule suddenly became angry. Wu Zheng's meaning was very clear. Duke Xingguo and Zhang Cangshui had agreed to Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet. These two were two major ministers. Even if the court recommended it tomorrow, they had already won two votes from the four. I am afraid that it would be unreasonable to accuse Wu Zheng of making a slander.

Although everyone knows that Duke Xingguo and Zhang Cangshui are standing on Wu Zheng's side, it is one thing to know, but reality is another thing to do.

Qian Sule suddenly understood Wu Zheng's intention to voluntarily give up on his intention to enter the cabinet. He was finally out of the matter without entering the cabinet. Not only did he gain a reputation, but in fact, he formed a constraint outside the cabinet invisibly.

Simply put, if Wu Zheng entered the cabinet himself, then he would only be one of the five cabinet ministers, but if he did not enter the cabinet, it would affect the cabinet.

This has infinite possibilities.

Awesome! Qian Sule sighed in his heart.

"The Duke Zhenguo is good at the method, and Qian admires it. But the Duke Zhenguo should also know that the cabinet recommended it, and Qian and Mr. Wozi also occupy two seats. If the stalemate occurs, it may end up with the court."

Wu Zheng laughed like a spring breeze, "There will not be a stalemate, so Lord Qian doesn't have to worry. According to the rules, if the cabinet cannot decide, you can submit it to the supervisor to decide."

Qian Sule was shocked, yes, Princess Changping should have been standing on Wu Zheng's side.

So when Ma Shiying entered the cabinet, Wu Zheng was already like taking a picture of his bag.

What other bargaining chips can I use for negotiation?

While his mood was exhausted, Qian Sule let go, and he was strong if he had no desires.

"Hmph." Qian Sule sarcastically said, "It seems that the so-called cabinet is just a fig leaf for the Duke of the State to cover up his efforts."

Wu Zheng looked surprised, "Where does Lord Qian start this?"

"It's already a piece of cake, does it take Qian to say more?"

"Mr. Qian misunderstood. I said that recommending Ma Shiying is not my intention, but the meaning of Duke of the Unruly Kingdom and Zhang Cangshui. They are both one of the cabinet ministers, so they naturally have the right to recommend. How can I stop it?"

That being said, no one is a fool.

Qian Sule bowed and said, "Since that's the case, Qian said goodbye. But what will happen in the court tomorrow? I believe the Duke of Zhenguo should be prepared in his heart."

Wu Zheng immediately lowered his face, "Mr. Qian is threatening me?"
