King of Song

Chapter 625

Wen Yanbo was very helpless, looking at Zhu Bi's reply, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter.

Zhao Xu rejected his request to resign for his son, saying that he would let Wen Jiyuan stay in Chang'an and get close to Zhao Zhao.The ultimate goal is to become his eyes and ears in Chang'an.

In a word, Wen Jiyuan was to be a spy beside the King of Qin and help him inquire about news.

Wen Yanbo laughed bitterly, really not knowing what to say.

How suspicious today, it is really not easy to be an official under him.

Where is it necessary to put eyes and ears around King Qin?It is clear that he wants to set himself and his son unrighteously, and it is also a temptation.If he agreed, it would be tantamount to boarding a pirate ship and having to do things for him.

If he didn't agree, it would be tantamount to throwing himself to King Qin's side, at least Zhao Xu would think so, and all the previous efforts would be in vain.

If he agrees, once King Qin gains power in the future, one can imagine what will happen to himself and his son.

Why is it so compelling?Don't you just want to leave the center of the vortex and avoid the temporary storm?Why do you have to press every step of the way and let yourself get stuck?
It's really a person in the temple, he can't help himself!
Faced with this backfired result, Wen Yanbo was a little distressed, how should he deal with it?To one side or the other?It is absolutely unwise to make a choice this early.

Regarding the throne, any position is equivalent to a bet, and the price is the life and wealth of the whole family. How can one not be cautious?

Handy on both sides?Not to mention whether it can be done, the risk of sitting on the fence is also great.In the end, it would be the worst ending if there was a quarrel that did not please both parties.

Embarrassing!
Wen Yanbo knew that it seemed understandable for Zhao Xu to do so, but there was still some resentment in his heart.He clearly knew that following such a suspicious official would not have a good life.This is just the beginning, the situation will be worse in the future, maybe...

All of a sudden, Wen Xianggong thought of a lot...

In fact, apart from this reason, Zhao Xu really wanted to develop Wen Jiyuan as his eyes and ears.Zhao Zhao has been operating in the Northwest for more than a year, and has installed many cronies.

There are not many people in Chang'an that I can trust. At this time, it is too obvious to arrange people in the past, and it will be easy to be noticed.As for instigating rebellion, Zhao Xu thinks it is possible, but it takes a long time to choose a target and then take action, which will delay many things.

If there are ready-made people who can use it, that would be the best.Wen Jiyuan has this possibility, and Wen Yanbo's attitude proves that he is controllable and can be used for himself.

He also believed that Zhao Zhao must also want to win over important ministers like Wen Yanbo.Then Wen Jiyuan's identity in the yamen is very special, and his ability and qualifications are not bad. It is very likely that he will be reused by Zhao Zhao and then come into contact with Zhao Zhao's inner circle.

Even if you can't find out the absolute secret, at least you can get a lot of news about the Northwest, and then you can use Wen Jiyuan to try to instigate other people...

Zhao Xu also let out a long sigh, it is really not easy to place people in the northwest now.With the King of Qin sitting in Chang'an, it is obviously redundant to have a Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy.

Even if you send a minister there, you can't escape the end of being emptied, and it won't play a substantial role.How can ordinary courtiers stand shoulder to shoulder with King Qin?Can't play the role of containment at all.

It would make sense if it was a prince, but at present, apart from the King of Qin, there is no close clan fief in the northwest.Zhao Xu regretted it so much that he knew not to change his brother's title.At the beginning, on a whim, I changed my younger brother to King Yang, so I regretted it!If it is still King Yong (Feng/Xiang), then going to the northwest in the name of assistance can also play a role in containing Zhao Zhao.

Unfortunately, it's too late now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fifth day of May in the sixth year of Xining, the Dragon Boat Festival!

It happened to be the first birthday of Zhao Hong, the eldest son of King Qin, and it was exactly one year before the heavy rain in Bianjing and the black dragon soaring to the sky.

Qin Wang Zhao Zhao arrived in Chang'an in one day to fulfill the will of Emperor Renzong and take charge of the Northwest military administration.

Standing by the Qujiang Pool again, Zhao Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

When I arrived in Chang'an, I finally flew out of the prison of Bianjing. The vast sky in the northwest was just the big stage for my performance.The performance needs to be wonderful, and there is really some pressure on me as the director and lead actor.

In two months, the peach blossoms by the Qujiang Pool have withered, the fruit has been conceived, and the harvest will be harvested soon!

I am looking forward to the ripeness of the peaches, and I am even more looking forward to a big harvest for myself.

Under the scorching sun, the willows are swaying, a gust of wind blows, the willows move with the wind, and the lake is sparkling.A large piece of green lotus leaves in the distance dances with the wind, like a group of dancers in green clothes.The water hibiscus, either white or red, is dotted among the lotus leaves, which is really beautiful.There is the Furong Garden. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has been a place with beautiful scenery in Chang'an.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhao Zhao asked softly: "Yu Xuan, Quchi is so picturesque, how about the palace being built here?"

"That's right, the scenery is pleasant, and it's a good place." This time in Chang'an, unlike the previous marches and wars, he needed someone to take care of him in life.Li Cheng is mainly responsible for close protection, as well as military reports and operations.

Zhao Zhao needs someone to take care of his diet and daily affairs, so he is definitely worried about using outsiders.At Chai Minyan's insistence, he specially brought Yu Xuan here.He and Ah Yun and his wife are loyal and loyal, so they can be assured. They have been in the house for many years, and they have handled things safely. They are extremely appropriate people.

"Then you find someone, choose a site and start construction!"

"Your Highness, this subordinate thinks..." Yu Xuan hesitated to speak.

Zhao Zhao glanced back at Yu Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, there are no outsiders here, just say it!"

"His Royal Highness has just arrived in Chang'an. He is here to stabilize the northwest frontier and fight against Xixia. At this time, people's hearts are still unstable... If you start to build the palace at this time, will it be discussed? If it is used by someone with a heart, it will damage your highness. Qingyu. Furthermore..."

Yu Xuan paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous. Your Highness has great ambitions. The palace in Chang'an is only a temporary residence. Your Highness's vision should be in Bianjing or Luoyang. Even if you want Chang'an in the future, you should rebuild the Daming Palace. Instead of building a palace..."

"Humph!"

Zhao Zhao smiled first, and then said, "Yu Xuan, I really wronged you for not letting you study for the imperial examination."

"I dare not be a subordinate, it is my blessing to be able to follow and serve His Highness!" Yu Xuandao: "If His Highness hadn't rescued me back then, my husband and I would have died long ago. The grace of rebuilding will never be repaid!"

"You and Ah Yun are old people in the house, don't see outsiders!" Zhao Zhaodao: "I am glad that you have such insight, you can do things safely, and you can speak out to advise. You have thinking, strategies, and know how to handle things. very good!"

"Thank you for your majesty's praise, I really dare not be a subordinate!" Yu Xuan said humbly.

Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "There is no need to be modest, I was hesitant at first, but now it seems that you are the candidate for the chief history of the palace!"

On the same day in Taimiao, Zhao Xu announced in public that Zhao Zhao was the general of the Fuguo and opened the third division of Yitong.Furthermore, the dignified king of Qin already had the qualifications to open a mansion and build a government office. Now that he controls the northwest, it is even more necessary to build a government office and equip subordinate officials.He just took this opportunity to create a team that completely obeys his orders, like a small imperial court.

Since it is to open a government and build a government office, there must be corresponding subordinate officials.The most important official in the palace is undoubtedly Chang Shi, who is equivalent to the secretary/chief of King Qin. He is not only an important staff member, but also handles related affairs for the prince.

This position is very important, and generally it must be held by a trusted person, and must have a certain status and qualifications.

Yu Xuan has no problem with loyalty and is totally trustworthy.But in terms of status and qualifications, he is far behind, after all, he came from a bad background.When he came to the northwest, he originally planned to be a personal follower.Unexpectedly, the king of Qin praised him and directly asked him to be the chief history of the palace.

In these years, Yu Xuan mainly dealt with some business and mansion affairs in Zhao Zhao Mansion, but after all, Yu Xuan was born as a scholar, and he had some ideas of making contributions deep in his heart.I thought it would never be possible, although it is regrettable, but there is nothing to regret.

Unexpectedly, King Qin gave him this opportunity to regain his dream.

A poor scholar who did not have an imperial examination, a coward who almost threw himself into the river, and a small man who was born as a domestic servant, now he has the opportunity to become the chief history of Qin Wangfu.This is simply like flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix. Suddenly, the identity has increased by an unknown amount, which is an unprecedented opportunity.

In the future, in this three-acre land in the northwest, everyone will give themselves this long history face?Even in the Great Song Dynasty, they were all people with face. After all, the status of Changshi means the number one confidant of King Qin.

Now Zhao Zhao is the King of Qin, but Yu Xuan clearly knows the ability of his master, and it is very possible to win the Ninth Five Lord one day in the future.It is precisely because of this kind of cognition that he just said those words rashly.

Unexpectedly, it happened to impress the king of Qin. Today is a long history, so in the future, not only will he have the merits of being a dragon, but he will also be the emperor's confidant. The future is definitely limitless.

Yu Xuan was so excited, this is a good job that honors his ancestors and even goes down in history, he immediately kowtowed and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my duty faithfully and handle the affairs of the palace well!"

Yu Xuan didn't refuse, there is no need to be humble at this time.He knew that King Qin wanted to see a confident long history, and he also had the confidence to do well, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Very good, don't let me down!" Zhao Zhao was very satisfied with Xuan's attitude.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!"

"Find me a place to live first!"

Yu Xuansi said: "Okay, I will first find a rich family near Qujiang Pool and buy the house as a temporary residence for His Highness. It will not be extravagant, but you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Pool. What do you think?"

"Well, let's do it!"

As soon as Yu Xuan left, Li Cheng came over.Zhao Zhao knew that he must have brought the latest news from Bianjing.
