The strongest Marquis in history

Uwe said: "Which country do you plan to use?"

Pu Nu said: "Gaochang country!"

Uwe snorted and said mockingly: "The envoy of Gaochang Kingdom is named Su Yi. He is well-versed in the world and well-informed. He knows the situation of Dazhou like the back of his hand. Su Yi has always been cautious in handling affairs. As an envoy, he , If you want to provoke Su Yi, it is impossible. Don't be successful when the time comes, but Su Yi will use you as a spear."

Pu Nu said again: "Then change to Loulan Kingdom."

Uwe said: "The envoy of the Loulan Kingdom is in his early fifties and is extremely cunning. It is impossible for you to let him take action, or to provoke the people under his command to take action. Nowadays, the people of the Loulan Kingdom hardly leave the door. The two doors are not for sale, and they live in the post house all day long. Do you want them to make a move, dreaming?"

Pu Nu was speechless immediately.

It is too difficult to deal with Wang Qi.

Uwe said: "I know that you are unwilling, but to deal with Wang Qi, you need a long-term plan. It can't be done overnight. During this time, you should stay in the post."

"The rest of the matter will be arranged by the king."

"Three days later, it will be the day of the emperor's birthday. There will be a lot of fun at that time, and we will see the outcome. We will not go to the emperor right now, and we will talk about this matter after the demonstrations in our countries."

Uwe said: "This king reminds you again, you must not go out again."

Pu Nu sighed, "I know."

Uwe waved his hand to let Pu Nu back down, but Uwe shook his head and sighed.

Punu is too young.

Compared with Wang Qi, the difference is not a star and a half.

Chapter 135

Zhao Yan went back to the county government office, and the government servant hurriedly entered the study room.The yamen servant looked a little flustered, and quickly reported after standing still: "The county lord, just got the news that Wang Qi is Wang Zongxi's son."

boom! ! !

In Zhao Yan's mind, it was as if a thunder had exploded.

My mind has gone blank.

Completely bewildered.

Zhao Yan never expected that the Wang Qi he met would be Wang Zongxi's son.You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were internal and external troubles, the national strength was weak, and the surrounding countries were about to move.

This is exactly the case. On the one hand, the emperor held a birthday to pray for his own happiness;

At this time, Wang Zongxi became more and more important.

Some time ago, the imperial court issued a special edict to entrust Wang Zongxi, the prefect of Yuyang County, as the Marquis of Zhenbei, and let Wang Zongxi sit in Yuyang County to resist the attack of the Hu people outside Youzhou.

It is not a good thing to offend Wang Zongxi.

It is not a good thing to offend Wang Qi.

"Why am I so unlucky? During this period of time, I have been cautious and dare not be careless. Unexpectedly, I still fell, and I met the Huns first, and now I met Wang Qi."

"Too unlucky."

"What should I do!"

Zhao Yan's heart was in a mess, and for a while, he couldn't make up his mind.

Although he is Wu Zongxiao's son-in-law, the problem is that although Wu Zongxiao is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments, and its power is very weak and its influence is not great.

Wu Zongxiao was helpful to Zhao Yan and was Zhao Yan's backstage, but when it came to Wang Qi and Wang Zongxi, Wu Zongxiao was also caught blind.

Zhao Yan scolded angrily: "Damn Huns, damn Punu, what kind of girl are you going to find? Stay in Chang'an City, okay? You have to go to Shangyuan Village to have fun. This is all right, offend the king. Qi, get me involved too."

He kept mumbling to himself.

Very panicked.

After a long time, Zhao Yancai finished venting, his anger and fear dissipated, and he was thinking about countermeasures.

"Come on, prepare the carriage!"

Zhao Yan gave an order.

The servants of the county government immediately went to make arrangements. Zhao Yan changed his clothes and left the mansion to take a carriage to Wu Zongxiao's mansion.

When a major event happened, he naturally visited Wu Zongxiao.

See what the old father-in-law said.

The carriage galloped all the way and arrived at the mansion of Wu Zongxiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.Zhao Yan, as Wu Zongxiao's son-in-law, especially Zhao Yan as the county magistrate of Chang'an, has a bright future.

As soon as he arrived, he was directly welcomed into the mansion.It's just that Wu Zongxiao was still handling government affairs at the court at this time, so he couldn't come back for the time being.

Zhao Yan could only wait.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, about a quarter of an hour later, Wu Zongxiao came back.

Zhao Yan went up to meet him, and went to the study together with Wu Zongxiao.

The host is seated.

Wu Zongxiao's eyes fell on Zhao Yan, and he said in a deep voice: "Three days later, it will be your majesty's birthday. The closer the birthday is, the more people will gather in Chang'an. At this time, you must Keep your spirits up and don't make any mistakes."

Zhao Yandao: "Father-in-law, I did my best. But today, something went wrong."

Wu Zongxiao immediately frowned, slightly displeased, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yan said: "Reporting to my father-in-law, the Huns provoked this incident. During this time, there were too many barbarians gathered in Chang'an, and many barbarians wantonly harassed the people without any scruples."

"I have tried my best to maintain it, and I have also stabilized the situation in Chang'an during this time."

"Nothing went wrong."

"But Punu, the prince of the Xiongnu, acted so boldly that he directly left Chang'an City and ran to the village on the border of Chang'an to snatch women. Who would have known that he met Wang Qi who had entered the capital in Shangyuan Village on the east border of Chang'an."

"Wang Qi is Wang Zongxi's son."

"He saw Punu's behavior, beat Punu, beat Punu very badly, and even beat Punu's entourage to two and a half deaths."

Zhao Yan sighed and said: "Uwei, the virtuous king of the Xiongnu, brought Punu to Chang'an County to sue, saying that Wang Qi provoked and beat them, and shirked his responsibility. Although I knew that Punu was the first, but at that time, it was not Know Wang Qi's identity."

"Wang Qi is just an ordinary name."

"I don't know, Wang Qi is Wang Qi of Youzhou, the son of Wang Zongxi. Because I didn't know Wang Qi's situation, I took Uwei and others to stop Wang Qi at the gate of the city, but Wang Qi scolded me like a dog. Drenched head, very miserable."

"This time, I offended Wang Qi."

"Other than that, the work of the Huns has not been done, and neither side is pleased."

Zhao Yan continued: "That's all for the Huns. They are coming, and they will leave sooner or later. After His Majesty's birthday, the Huns will have to leave. Wang Qi entered Chang'an and wants to study in the Chang'an Imperial Prison. He will not leave in a short time. .To offend Wang Qi now is to offend the Wang family in Youzhou. The situation is quite bad for me."

After hearing this, Wu Zongxiao stroked his gray beard under his chin with a solemn expression.

Wang Qi is not easy to deal with.

Wang Zongxi was even more difficult.

The key point is that the imperial court now needs to rely on Wang Zongxi's power to guard Yuyang County to ensure the safety of Yuyang County.

Therefore, Wang Zongxi's official position is not high, but he is very powerful.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zongxiao said in a deep voice: "The Huns are wantonly doing harm in Chang'an, and you have never restrained yourself. Now, you have provoked Wang Qi again, what a waste."

Zhao Yandao: "Please father-in-law save me."

Wu Zongxiao continued: "You know, Wang Qi is Cui Dongshan's disciple, and he is also the nephew of Lin Yuanchong, the new son of the state. Whether it is Cui Dongshan or Lin Yuanchong, they are all leaders of Qingliu."

"Lin Yuanchong is a Confucian leader."

"You, you, I really don't know what to say about you. Once Cui Dongshan finds out about this, as the censor Zhongcheng, there is no doctor censor at the censor platform, and he is the chief official of the censor platform."

"If you read one book, you will be miserable."

Wu Zongxiao said: "Lin Yuanchong has a high reputation, and the next one is the Guozi Jijiu. His appeal is huge. Once he spreads the news, your fate will be even worse."

Zhao Yandao: "Then what should I do? Father-in-law, you must help me!"

Wu Zongxiao said: "The easiest way is to come to the door to plead guilty."

"what?"

Zhao Yan was shocked when he heard it.

Come to the door to apologize!

This is a shameful thing.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said, "Father-in-law, I'm going to plead guilty to Wang Qi. If the news spreads, I'm afraid I will be reduced to a laughing stock. How will I stand then?"

Wu Zongxiao's expression became cold and serious, and he scolded: "You still want to gain a foothold, so it's good not to be beaten to death. The old man told you that even the crown prince would not want to offend Wang Qi when it comes to matters involving Wang Qi."

"What the prince needs to do is to win over officials extensively, so that the power of the prince's family will be strengthened."

"It's not like, I was suppressed by King Qi."

"Everyone knows that King Qi arranged for Lin Yuanchong to enter Chang'an. Lin Yuanchong is Wang Qi's uncle, and Wang Qi is Cui Dongshan's disciple. The relationship between them and Zhao Zhi is naturally antagonistic. of."

"Earlier, the members of the Xun family in Yingchuan understood the meaning of the officials in the East Palace without authorization and directly dealt with Lin Yuanchong. This matter angered His Royal Highness, and His Highness directly dismissed the officials at that time."

Wu Zongxiao's eyes were sharp, and he said: "In fact, Wang Qi and Lin Yuanchong should know that the Xun family's move was arranged by the prince's people. The news from outside was arranged by Zhao Zhi."

"It can be seen that Lin Yuanchong is not willing to be an enemy of the prince. It can also be said that Wang Qi is not willing to be an enemy of the prince."

"This is a prerequisite for a detente between the two sides."

"Now the prince is trying to win over Lin Yuanchong, trying to take Lin Yuanchong for his own use. If Wang Qi and Lin Yuanchong are willing to be used by the prince, then there will be a chance to accept Cui Dongshan."

Wu Zongxiao said: "The current general direction of the East Palace is to win over Wang Qi and Lin Yuanchong. At this moment, please tell me whether you have offended Wang Qi and whether it has affected the prince's general policy. You have to pray, Wang Qi." Qi will definitely forgive you. Otherwise, if Wang Qi does not deal with you in the East Palace, the East Palace will also deal with you."

brush!

Zhao Yan's complexion suddenly changed.

I didn't expect this result.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that he came here to ask for help, but he was forced to ask Wang Qi to ask for help.Otherwise, if Wang Qi doesn't deal with him, Donggong will also have to deal with him.

Zhao Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

No more luck.

Chapter 136

At this moment, Zhao Yan knew very well that he had become an abandoned child.In other words, he became the person thrown out by Donggong to ease the relationship with Wang Qi.If he didn't stand up for the Huns today, but found a reason to shirk, what happened today would not happen.

All this is his own fault.

Wu Zongxiao looked at Zhao Yan's lonely look, and said with relief: "Zhao Yan, although you are in a bad situation right now, crises are always accompanied by opportunities. As long as you get things done well, this is your chance again."

Zhao Yandao: "Please father-in-law give advice."

Wu Zongxiao said: "Earlier, in the East Palace, there were officials who instructed the Xun family to deal with Lin Yuanchong without authorization, and they have already hated Wang Qi and Lin Yuanchong. Although the propaganda outside is not like this, it is saying that Qi Wang Zhaozhi dealt with Lin Yuanchong. But our own people know that it was arranged by the East Palace."

"The East Palace is now in a hurry to ease relations with Lin Yuanchong and Wang Qi."

"You are the link."

"You offended Wang Qi, so resolve the matter well. Then, promote the relationship between the two parties. Then, you must be responsible for the contact with Lin Yuanchong and Wang Qi."

Wu Zongxiao said: "This is your only chance, seize it well. How to resolve Wang Qi's anger depends on your ability. Think about it yourself."

Zhao Yan thought about it in his mind.

This is the truth, Donggong's original intention was actually not to make the relationship with Lin Yuanchong deadlocked.

It is because the people below are directing blindly.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your reminder, I understand."

Wu Zongxiao said: "Go."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yan bowed and saluted before leaving.

After leaving Wu's house, he quickly returned to the county office in a carriage to continue handling government affairs.At the same time, Zhao Yan arranged for someone to inquire about the residence of Wang Qi and his party, and when he learned that Wang Qi lived in Yongxingfang, he temporarily shelved the news.
