Chapter 215 Your Majesty, are you a Chinese cabbage?
"Xu Qingshan has returned to Zuo Xiangfu."
Yuan Xiu deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "Go back to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion? What does Prime Minister Zuo mean by this?"
Wen Tai said: "That day, His Majesty was talking about Zhao Cheng's elimination of spies in Shangyang County, and he mentioned Xu Qingshan. I was somewhat familiar with the name at that time, but I was not sure. It was not until I went back to ask the cultural guardian that I found out who Xu Qingshan was.
He often lives in Zuo Xiangfu and works under Wen Hu."
Yuan Xiu asked in surprise: "Could it be that the person sent by Wenhu to kill Chen Chong was Xu Qingshan?"
"Exactly!"
"It's such a coincidence, I thought Uncle Shaxian's credit was taken away by Zhao Cheng!"
"There are many people in Zuo Xiang's Mansion. Not to mention my family members and servants, there are hundreds of officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone. I still can't even recognize them all, let alone those who work under the civil protection department."
Yuan Xiu nodded and said: "Shaxian Bo is very capable. Even masters like Xu Qingshan work under him."
Wen Tai heard the jealousy in Yuan Xiu's words, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Wen Hu works for the imperial court, and the people under him are all your Majesty's people."
"I know, I know." Yuan Xiu pointed at Wentai and said with a smile: "I have no other intention, I am just jealous, jealous!"
Wen Tai said: "Wen Hu has already told Xu Qingshan to let him participate in our martial arts competition in Dajing."
Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "Uncle Sha County, are you willing to give up? Aren't you afraid that I will give Xu Qingshan greater benefits, and Xu Qingshan will only recognize me and not him from now on?"
"His Majesty!!"
Wen Tai immediately knelt down and said with a rare humility and tone: "As I said before, whether it is a civil servant or an old minister, they are all working for the imperial court. Not to mention a mere Xu Qingshan, the entire Zuoxiang Mansion is...
It belongs to His Majesty!"
"Left Prime Minister, look at you!"
Yuan Xiu personally helped Wen Tai up and said with a smile: "I am joking with you, let's see how excited you are!"
"I am loyal and only serve the country."
"I know."
Yuan Xiu patted Wen Tai on the back and said: "Since even Xu Qingshan is in Zuoxiang's Mansion, there should be many masters in Zuoxiang's Mansion, right?"
Wen Tai lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth.
The emperor is really greedy and hard to fool!
Core members like Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan, even if they participated in martial arts examinations and were appointed officials by the emperor, they were still members of the Zuo Xiangfu and were loyal to Wen Tai.
But the people outside the core circle, although they are not as strong as Xu Qingshan, do not receive as many resources as Xu Qingshan, and are not as loyal as Xu Qingshan, but these people are also masters with unique skills and are members of the Zuo Xiangfu.
The backbone.
If these people are favored by the emperor, they may leave the Zuo Xiangfu.
This is the loss of Zuoxiangfu.
Looking at Yuan Xiu's serious look, Wen Tai said: "There must be experts, but Your Majesty knows that I am not interested in killing. This is the responsibility of the cultural guards. I don't know the specific situation."
"Then you go back and talk to the cultural guards to recruit more people to participate in the martial arts competition."
Yuan Xiu said shamelessly and unceremoniously: "This is my first time to hold a martial arts competition. As my dear friends, you won't leave me alone, right?"
Wen Tai said helplessly: "How many people does Your Majesty think are suitable to come to Zuo Xiangfu?"
Yuan Xiuyi rubbed his hands and said: "In addition to Xu Qingshan, here are ten more."
Wen Tai's face turned pale and he said: "Your Majesty! How can there be so many?!"
Yuan Xiu's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said: "Don't you know the specific situation?"
"I don't know! But experts are not just cabbage in the field, they can only dig a handful!!"
"Eight!"
"His Majesty……"
"Six! No more!"
Wen Tai stretched out a slap and said: "Five, I will let Wen Hu do his best."
Yuan Xiu smiled evilly and said: "Deal!"
Wen Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Xiu added: "Tell Wen Hu that you are not allowed to use the Yu to make up the numbers. Your level cannot be much worse than that of Xu Qingshan."
Wen Tai became serious and said forcefully: "Your Majesty! Xu Qingshan can kill Chen Chong and Yu Beipiao. He is the best among the best masters. If his level cannot be much worse than him, he must be the best master! Your Majesty, you must be the best.
Are masters like Chinese cabbage? If I, the top master in Dajing, could catch a handful like this, he would have dominated the world long ago!"
Seeing Wen Tai talking so much at once and speaking faster than usual, Yuan Xiu knew that he was really anxious.
Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "Then you must be at least a first-class master!"
"I will do as you please!" Wen Tai said in a bad tone.
"Then it's hard work for the Zuo Prime Minister." Yuan Xiu glared at the little eunuch who handed him the fruit and scolded: "How come you only know how to give it to me? Didn't you see that the Zuo Prime Minister is here? Give it to the Zuo Prime Minister first!"
"I'm scared!" Wen Tai quickly took it, thinking that this iced fruit is really expensive...
According to the probability, two or three of the five first-class masters will be poached by the emperor.
The seven generals of the Sheep Gate are all at the level of first-rate masters.
too dark……
"Uncle Shaxian completed his mission well this time!"
Yuan Xiu changed the subject and said with a smile: "I promised him, and I will keep my promise. In the future, don't always let him handle the affairs of Zuo Xiangfu just to avoid suspicion. Your reputation is important, and his future is also important.
Let him come out, give him a position in the court or the army, and let him express his ambition!"
Wen Tai's eyes brightened slightly, he finally heard the good news, but his face was serious and he said: "I thank your majesty on behalf of the guardian."
…
The rear of the Yang Family Army Camp.
The manor at the foot of the mountain.
"Report to the young governor that the prince and his wife have entered Yunjing County."
Yang Qingzhi was feeding the cat on the desk. After hearing the report from his soldier Zuozhu, he asked: "Which route did he take?"
"Let's go to the east of Xuzhong County. If nothing else happens, we will enter the Southern Zhou Dynasty from the direction of Yunmeng City."
Seeing that Yang Qingzhi was silent and did not respond, Zuo Zhu suggested: "Should we send someone to Yunjing to pick him up?"
Yang Qing said: "Arrange someone to go to the Champion King's camp, tell him the news, and let him be responsible for Zhou Jinghuan's safety in Yunjing County."
Zuo Zhu asked: "Let the champion king be responsible for the safety of the prince? Little Governor, I...did you hear it correctly?"
"Zhe Zhu, don't be stubborn when thinking about problems. When you encounter anything that is not in line with common sense, don't question it first, but think about whether it is possible."
Hearing this, Zuozhu immediately knelt down, looking a little excited.
Yang Qingzhi said these words to him as instructions.
It is a sign of respect.
Yang Qingzhi continued: "As an envoy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Jinghuan negotiated a marriage with Jingguo. This is a very important matter for the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but it is an even more important matter for Jingguo. Jingguo is more worried about him than us.
Safety. In fact, even if we don’t send someone to notify the Champion King, after Zhou Jinghuan enters Yunjing, the Champion King will know through his eyes and will naturally arrange people to protect him secretly along the way. But if we notify him, it means that we in Southern Zhou Dynasty pay special attention to this incident.
Marriage."
"This is our attitude."
"When the two countries intersect, even if they are secretly intrigues and fighting to the death, their attitude is crucial."
Zuo Zhu clenched his fists with both hands and said loudly: "I understand!"
Yang Qingzhi nodded and said, "Is there any news about Yu Beipiao and Chen Chong?"
Zuozhu's face changed slightly.
Yang Qingzhi noticed Zuozhu's expression, stopped feeding the cat, walked towards him, and said, "Say."
Zuo Zhu slowly lowered his head and said: "The two of them failed to intercept Zhao Cheng... and were killed!"
