Yu Qian was very busy. He had just returned to the Ministry of War from Wenyuan Pavilion when another guest came to his door.

He looked up and saw that it was Xu Jue, the minister of the Hanlin Academy.

Speaking of Xu Jue, this person also has a name, Xu Youzhen.

Historically, after Zhu Qizhen was captured, the Wala army went south and aimed directly at the capital. At this time, King Zhu Qiyu supervised the country and convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Xu Jue said that the stars had changed and suggested moving the capital to Nanjing to avoid swordsmen.

Then, he was so scolded by Yu Qian that he even uttered harsh words on the spot, saying that anyone who suggested moving south should be beheaded!

In the end, the main war faction took the dominant position, and under the leadership of Yu Qian, won the battle to defend the capital.

Since then, Xu Jue has become a laughing stock and has been unable to be promoted for a long time. After much thought, he finally thought of a way to change his name!

It was Xu Jue who proposed moving south. What does it have to do with me, Xu Youzhen?

Unexpectedly, this method really worked. From then on, this person had a smooth official career until the restoration of Yingzong, and he directly became the first minister of the cabinet by virtue of his ability to seize the door.

As soon as Xu Jue came in, Yu Qian understood that, needless to say, he must be here for King Tan's affairs.

There is no bottom line in what this person usually does. Seeing Wang Zhen gaining power, he actually came to ask for his godfather. This is simply a shame in the Qingliu world.

Now that the emperor is deep in the desert and his life or death is uncertain, it is reasonable for such a clown to run to support King Tao.

To be honest, Yu Qian disliked this guy from the bottom of his heart. He was about to refuse, but suddenly he thought about taking this opportunity to find out what he was talking about.

"Xu Shi said that he came to the Ministry of War despite his busy schedule. What advice do you have?"

Xu Jue hurriedly replied: "Master Yu, you are so polite. How dare I give you some advice? I just went to the Qintian Prison and passed by the Yamen of the Ministry of War. I stopped by to say hello."

"Oh, went to Qin Tian Prison?"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Jue nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiaguan was watching the stars at night and found that Yinghuo had entered Nandou. He was very confused, so he went to Qintian Prison to consult with his colleagues."

"Yinghuo enters the South Dou?" Yu Qian looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said, "What does this mean?"

"This..." Xu Jue looked around subconsciously, then came forward and whispered, "This is an ominous sign, indicating that the emperor will be in trouble."

Yu Qian pretended to be mysterious and said: "So, doesn't it mean that the emperor is in trouble?"

"Xiaguan didn't say anything!" Xu Jue waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Xiaguan just observed the changes in the stars. As for the predictions, I dare not speak nonsense."

Yu Qian thought for a while and then said: "I'm afraid Xu Shidao is here today not just for passing by, right?"

Xu Jue smiled and said, "I am here to express my congratulations to you!"

"Happiness in the Tao?" Yu Qian knew that this guy had already entered the Tao, so he said calmly, "Where does the happiness come from?"

"The imperial edict sent back by the emperor from the front clearly states that Mr. Yu will be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and given the title of Governor of the Left. Isn't this a happy event?"

Yu Qian smiled lightly and said: "The emperor was worried about defeat, so he wrote the edict in advance to prepare for emergencies. Now that our army has won a great victory, Kuang Shangshu is in good hands. The position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War still belongs to others. Xu Shi said

I have received someone's kindness."

Xu Jue immediately spoke eloquently: "Master Yu, what you said is wrong. Kuang Shangshu is already sixty-five years old this year. How many more years can he continue to work? On the contrary, Master Yu, you are in your prime, and this position of minister is not guaranteed sooner or later."

What? Besides, since the emperor only mentioned you in the edict, apart from His Royal Highness King Tan, what does this mean? It means that the emperor thinks highly of you! Even if he does not take over as the Minister of War for the time being, there will still be the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel...

...All in all, you are now a famous person, even His Highness King Xi..."

Yu Qian asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness King Xi..."

Xu Jue was startled and seemed to notice something, so he smiled and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Yu Qian was immediately very dissatisfied and said: "Xu Shi said he doesn't trust someone?"

"What are you talking about, Your Excellency?" Xu Jue said quickly, "Xiaguan means that His Highness, King Tan, thinks highly of Your Excellency."

Yu Qian was very annoyed these days, just because he had opposed the emperor's personal expedition in the past, and now everyone subconsciously blamed him for the rumors that were spreading in the capital.

I was worried that I couldn't find the initiator, but now it's better, it's delivered to my door!

"It's just..." Yu Qian looked hesitant and said, "I don't have a close relationship with His Royal Highness King Yi. I don't know that His Highness King Yi... this..."

Xu Jue only felt his eyes light up. He was originally worried that Yu Qian would refuse sternly, but he didn't expect it. He usually looked aloof, but in fact, it was nothing more than that!

It's no wonder that the emperor went to the desert, which was full of misfortunes. If he supported King Yin at this time, it would be a tribute to the dragon. How many people can resist such a temptation?

"You don't have to worry about this, sir. Why don't you let me introduce you to you?"

"From what Shi Xu said, do you know him very well, His Royal Highness?"

"It's not really acquaintance, we just interact with each other occasionally on weekdays."

"I see!"

Yu Qian nodded secretly, you are a minister of the court, and you have occasional contacts with the vassal king. If you had done this during the Hongwu or Yongle years, you would have died a hundred times.

Xu Jue didn't notice it, but felt very happy. Because of the edict, Yu Qian was now a famous man. If he could win this person over, great things could happen!

"Tonight, His Royal Highness King Xi is hosting a banquet at his residence. If Mr. Yu can come, His Highness will be very happy."

Yu Qian smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Master Xu, please stop joking. I am just a small minister. There are many talents in the Prince's Palace. How could Your Highness..."

Before he finished speaking, he only saw an invitation card appearing in front of him.

Xu Jue held the invitation in both hands and said: "His Royal Highness King Tan said that as long as Mr. Yu is willing to show his favor, anything can be said."

Yu Qian took the invitation, glanced at it, and slowly closed it. After a long time, he said: "I would like to ask Sir Xu to tell His Highness King Xi that Yu will definitely attend the banquet on time."

Xu Jue smiled knowingly, said no more, saluted and turned to leave.

Yu Qian looked at the invitation on the table and was very hesitant. He wanted to dig out the King's Party. This was an excellent opportunity.

However, I am at the forefront of the storm. If I am misunderstood because of this matter again, I won't be able to get rid of it even if I jump into the Yellow River.

To go or not to go?

If I want to go, should I inform the cabinet?

After much deliberation, for the sake of safety, I decided not to notify the cabinet.

Otherwise, if those people see it, your plan will be ruined.

For the sake of the emperor and for the stability of the country, I have risked my life tonight. The worst is that the yellow mud will fall into my crotch. Does it matter what others think?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's all because of your edict, I can't help myself now!
