Because sixteen years is too far away for a young powerful official like Xu Zhenyan who has just taken office, he does not know that those True Dragon Guards wearing golden True Dragon armor are the strongest followers of the late Emperor Yun Qin.
A great cultivator, however, he knew very well that those enshrined in the imperial court were all Saint Masters without exception, and none of them were Saint Masters with ordinary combat power.
Some suspicions and the vaguely pointed out connections with more and more evidence put Xu Zhenyan's psychological pressure completely different, but he quickly calmed himself down and looked up at Wen Xuanshu, "How to deal with Zhang Qiuxuan?"
"I am very satisfied with what you have done so far."
Wen Xuanshu did not directly answer Xu Zhenyan's words, but just glanced at him lightly and said: "The Jiang family didn't know that you also told me the whereabouts of some of Wen Ren Cangyue's weapons that were tortured, so the Jiang family and the Holy Lord had no idea about the whereabouts of some weapons.
I am also very satisfied with your performance."
Xu Zhenyan waited with an indifferent expression. He did not speak because he knew that he did not need to speak at this moment.
"Little people like the Treasurer of the Hanlin Academy are like weeds and can be pulled out at will. But the higher the position, the bigger the trees are. If you want to use the same simple method to pull out weeds,
The result is that you will just smash yourself to death."
Wen Xuanshu looked at the banana tree under the rain eaves, with a faint light shining in his calm and majestic eyes, and said slowly: "Whether you want to deal with Zhang Qiuxuan or the Holy Lord, you need a good opportunity. At this moment, Yun Qin
The empire is in turmoil, and this is a good opportunity."
Xu Zhenyan's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "Thank you, Lord Chief Assistant, for your advice. What do you mean... to make the Yunqin army lose more severely?"
"You are still too young after all."
Wen Xuanshu mocked slightly: "I asked you not to underestimate those old people and not to think about things too simply, but you still think too simply...except for the Huang family, the Wen family, the Leng family, and the Hu family, the other families,
Everyone's strength is not inferior to mine. If you want to do anything directly, I will be overthrown. If you want to directly intervene in things like obstructing food and grass transportation, ordnance transportation, or even revealing military intelligence, that's impossible.
It is the most stupid way to commit suicide, how can it be called an opportunity?"
"This student is stupid, please give me a lesson." Xu Zhenyan lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Now that Yun Qin has arrived, the Holy Emperor wants to suppress Qingluan Academy, suppress the Nine Elders, and is eager to expand his own strength. The war situation is so tense. The large amount of ordnance hidden by Wenren Cangyue in Biluo Mausoleum is the result of Yun Qin's decades of accumulation.
It's a good opportunity." Wen Xuanshu looked at Xu Zhenyan and said calmly: "If the Holy One wants to get the most powerful weapons, he must choose the person closest to him and whom he trusts to go to Biluo Mausoleum, so I have to arrange for Zhang Qiuxuan to go, so he won't
What is the problem."
Xu Zhenyan was silent, nodded again, and bowed slightly.
"Using this incident as a guide, it is not impossible to conquer the Jiang family first." Wen Xuanshu said calmly: "As for the Holy One...the opportunity lies in Qingluan College and Lin Xi. Lin Xi is to you
enemy?"
Xu Zhenyan said without thinking, "Yes."
"Qingluan Academy has just gone through a big change. If you want to deal with the Holy Lord, you don't have the ability to do so. But people like Lin Xi can use it to deal with the Holy Lord. And although this person's momentum at the moment, I also deliberately helped him build momentum.
, but what he did was much stronger than I imagined, and it made me feel too dangerous." Wen Xuanshu glanced at Xu Zhenyan and said sarcastically: "Fortunately, the Holy One has always disliked him, it can even be said that he hates him.
He, the ruler and his ministers are at odds. Now that Lin Xi can endure His Majesty, I will see if he can endure it by making him even more angry."
"Following the trend...Following the trend of all these big shots, this is the way to establish oneself, and it is the true highest power." Xu Zhenyan said in a slightly astringent voice: "Students understand."
Wen Xuanshu nodded, looked at him indifferently, and said: "Because what you did before made the Jiang family and the Holy Emperor very satisfied, and now the treasury is tight and the corruption of officials continues year after year, so I
The admonitions of imposing strict regulations on officials, confiscating the property of corrupt officials, and using them as military pay have been supported by the vast majority of people. Therefore, in addition to the various departments of Yun and Qin, there will soon be a separate imperial capital department with the responsibility of special inspection
Although the Eighth Division does not care about other things in the court, it specializes in supervising the officials of the court. Under my arrangement, this actual power will be very great, and the manpower I have deployed will make this department have great combat power. And you, will
He will be slowly arranged to become the head of the department."
Xu Zhenyan paused for breath, his hands trembling slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chief Assistant, for the promotion."
Seeing the change in Xu Zhenyan's expression, Wen Xuanshu knew that the other party knew exactly what kind of power and status he was throwing out. However, there was a mocking look between his eyebrows, and he asked with a half-smile.
Said: "Xu Zhenyan, do you know why I like to use you young people?"
Xu Zhenyan felt a sudden chill in his heart. He knew that he still didn't need to answer, he just lowered his head and waited.
"It's because you have enough ambition and courage." Wen Xuanshu said sarcastically: "That's why you dare to do things for me that others dare not do. But you are also a smart person. You should understand that everything about you is
I gave it to you...so you are just a dog I raised. The owner of the dog will look at the dog. If one day the ambition and courage of the dog make the owner feel threatened, the owner will naturally kill it without hesitation.
Slaughter this dog. You should know that there is a limit to everything."
Xu Zhenyan lowered his head and his body became stiff.
After a moment, he slowly lowered his body, knelt down in front of Wen Xuanshu, kowtowed to Wen Xuanshu, and said calmly: "I understand, Lord Chief Assistant... I am your dog.
"
Wen Xuanshu's expression did not change at all. He did not say anything for a while, and Xu Zhenyan kept kneeling, as if kissing the floor tiles in his room.
"Go ahead."
There was silence in the room for a long time before Wen Xuanshu's calm voice rang out.
Xu Zhenyan stood up slowly, bowed and exited the room, opened a black umbrella under the rain curtain, covered his face, and walked into the dense rain.
"grown ups."
Shortly after his figure was swallowed up by the heavy rain, a scribe in white who had been waiting outside Wen Xuanshu's room walked up to Wen Xuanshu's lower body and bowed to Wen Xuanshu.
"Say." Wen Xuanshu was obviously very familiar with this handsome and elegant scribe in white, and he just said one word gently and simply.
The scribe in white was not restrained, smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to raise a vicious dog and prevent the vicious dog from getting interested, the best way is to find a similar vicious dog and put it in a circle with him, so that the two vicious dogs always interact with each other.
Bite and suppress each other."
"That's right." Wen Xuanshu also smiled slightly and said: "It is difficult to find a vicious dog after all, and it would be a pity to kill it. Do you have a good candidate?"
"Di Chou Fei."
The white-clothed scribe smiled and nodded, "This boy is the one supported by the military from Xianyi College. It's just that he was too impatient during the Great Wilderness Battle in the past and angered Qingluan College. He himself didn't please Gu Yunjing, so he was borrowed by Gu Yunjing.
The potential was lost in the mines of the Longshe Mountain Range. Now that Gu Yunjing has dragged many generals from Qingluan to Longshe, it is even less likely that he will be able to succeed. A talent who once had a bright future is now in this war.
At a time when there is a shortage of practitioners and generals, he seems to have been forgotten by the huge empire. You can use him not only to deal with Lin Xi, but also to suppress Xu Zhenyan, who is even worse than his father.
A ferocious dog."
Wen Xuanshu pondered: "He is indeed a good candidate. You can arrange this matter. The Zhongzhou Army itself also lacks capable generals."
The scribe in white smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to retreat, he remembered something again. He paused and asked softly: "Master, do you want him to know some of your arrangements?"
Wen Xuanshu shook his head and said with some emotion: "I have taught my son too well. He will not accept these arrangements from me, but I am very satisfied with his current situation, so I should never let him do these things."
knew."
The scribe in white nodded seriously, then said no more, exited the room, quickly held a butter paper umbrella, and disappeared under the rain curtain.
Wen Xuanshu's eyes still fell calmly on the banana leaves under the rain eaves.
"What kind of secrets are hidden in Zhenlong Mountain?"
"Changsun Jinse...what kind of opportunity can be the straw that breaks the camel's back?"
He whispered to himself, his brows slowly frowning, thinking.
His white jade-like hands stretched out from his black silk sleeves.
His right hand was playing with something white and shiny. It was a small white jade elephant that was very simple in carving, just a few knives, but very charming.
…
The rain washed away the imperial city, and some turbid and cold water poured into the water prison in the sky prison along the ditch.
The water level in the water prison was higher than usual, and the water was turbid and colder than usual.
Xu Zhenyan was squatting on the steps of a water cell. In front of him was a prisoner tied to a pillar with water up to his chest.
There were many criss-crossing wounds on the prisoner's body, and what Xu Zhenyan was doing now was to put some specially selected leeches on the prisoner's body that would make the prisoner itchy when sucking blood.
This forty-year-old prisoner was very tyrannical. Looking at the leeches covering his body, he laughed fiercely: "Use whatever means you can on me. One day, General Wenren will kill him."
You bunch of dog slaves!"
Xu Zhenyan still had marks on his forehead when he knelt at the feet of Wen Xuanshu, but when he heard the word "dog slave", his face and eyes were very calm.
"What's wrong with dogs? As long as you know how to be a dog, you may be able to live longer than your owner, because every owner needs a dog. At any time, a dog that is inferior to one person or superior to ten thousand people is better than those who cannot climb up.
People are much stronger."
He just said this coldly, as if speaking to himself, and then threw a thick leech directly into the eyes of the prisoner in front of him.
