Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 6 Winning over Marquis Wei

It has been five days since Zhao Huaining ascended the throne, and he also assisted in politics before, but he disagreed with his father on many things.

Now he is the only one who reads the memorabilia on the Qiankun Palace case, and he finally doesn’t have to go along with other people’s opinions. Suddenly, his heart surges and he flips through the memorabilia. The first one is Yuan Wei’an’s memorabilia. It's still the same old way, please see the imperial concubine Yuan, and ask An Du to go to the court to discuss matters.

He threw away Yuan Wei'an's memorabilia impatiently, "There is no need to submit Yuan Wei'an's memorabilia in the future."

Wang An replied yes, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it's not an option to prevaricate Yuan Wei'an all the time. Your Majesty ascended the throne for five days, and Yuan Wei'an was dismissed for three days. He will be the first to express dissatisfaction with you. Yuan Wei'an has great power." , the [-] city guards in the capital and the [-] cavalry in Jicheng are all in his hands, I think it's better not to make Yuan Wei'an anxious."

Zhao Huaining snorted, and said disdainfully, "I have already sat on the throne, I am afraid that he will not succeed? Just find a reason to cut his military power in the future."

"The mighty general of the previous dynasty has made outstanding military exploits, and the Supreme Emperor trusted the concubine Yuan and reused Yuan Wei'an. The military talisman was given to him in the early years. No one in the court can match such an honor. His power cannot be curtailed, not to mention that Yuan Wei'an is quite popular in the court, and there are many ministers who have good friends with him."

Zhao Huaining interrupted him and asked: "In your opinion, how should this matter be?"

Wang An felt that the next words would be a bit offensive, so he couldn't help but bowed his body and made a big salute, and said: "We need to win over the Marquis of Wei, make him stand up against Yuan Wei'an, and then use someone trusted by His Majesty to arrange important positions in the court. If you hold the important position firmly in your hands, then you will have the strength to move Yuan Wei'an."

Zhao Huaining thought for a moment, and said: "Many years ago, I had won over the Marquis of Wei. At that time, I led the army to fight against Di Rong. His nephew made a mistake in the army. I tried to let him go in exchange for the Marquis of Wei. Favors, but I don’t want the Marquis of Wei to refute me with some righteous words, and make a big mess, I’m ashamed, and my fourth brother took part in a book.”

Wang An straightened up, looked straight at Zhao Huaining, and said: "Those are all relatives of Marquis Wei, they are not that important to Marquis Wei, if he sacrifices his nephew, he can get his reputation, he will definitely not Abandon his nephew without hesitation. Your Majesty knows that the way to win a person is not to find his weakness, nor is it to sell his favor and make him feel guilty. People who are drawn in this way will not be reliable."

Zhao Huaining became interested when he heard it. What Wang An said was true. There is nothing reliable about the exchange of interests. The ministers who have voted for him in the camp have come and gone over the years. He knows this truth well, "Then what should I do?" What to do, Wei Guohou is getting old, I can't go to him to be a brother at this time."

Wang An smiled slightly, "The Marquis of Wei has a pair of children. The son inherits the title and has already been crowned heir. The daughter has just grown up and is waiting to be married. The Marquis of Wei regards his daughter as the jewel in his palm and loves him very much."

Zhao Huaining was amazed: "Wang An, you are confused. I have already been married to the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War. Since the Marquis of Wei regards his daughter as the jewel in his palm and loves him so much, how can he let his daughter be his concubine?"

But Wang An didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "The Xu family, the servant of the Ministry of War, has withered talents in the family. It is not in wartime, and the Ministry of War is useless. What's more, Xu Shiwen is old and is about to retire. His son is mediocre. You can't hold an important position, and your family is in decline, Your Majesty, you have to think carefully about it."

After listening to these words, Zhao Huaining thought only about gain and loss, losing the useless Xu family to win over the powerful Wei Guohou, this deal is not a loss no matter what.But how can we guarantee that nothing will go wrong, "With Wei Guohou's temper, whether he is willing to marry his daughter to me is another matter."

Seeing that the emperor was already tempted, Wang An didn't add fire at this time, let alone when he said, "This is different from the past. It is a foregone conclusion that Your Majesty will be called emperor. Once you were the prince, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wei disdained to befriend you, but Now, you are already the son of heaven, above ten thousand people, I am afraid, he will think about it. Besides, the daughter of Wei Guohou, Jiang Huanian, is eighteen years old, with a simple mind, and often appears in poetry gatherings, elegant collections, etc. Such a place, it can be seen, is a talent-loving, Your Majesty might as well do what he likes, and win Jiang Huanian's heart, why not?"

"In this way, it is indeed feasible. Then Jiang Huanian needs to rely on you to pay more attention."

Seeing that the emperor accepted his advice, Wang An couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and hurriedly said, "That's natural, it's my duty to solve your majesty's worries and problems."

"When Xu Shiwen leaves office, you will fill this vacancy." The emperor brought a cup of tea to Wang An while talking.

Wang An was flattered, and lowered his body, "The officials in the court either have fame or fame, or they have official positions inherited from their families, and they are heroes who survived fighting on the battlefield. The minister has neither fame nor family background, and has never fought in the battlefield. , It is really embarrassing to be an official."

"Hey, Mr. is resourceful and resourceful. He has made great contributions to my ascension to the throne. It is better than going to the battlefield ten times. By the way, how is the inspection by the palace people going?" Zhao Huaining patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and compared Wei Wei What the Marquis needs to woo more is Wang An, Wang An is more wise, with him by his side, he will avoid many detours.

"The checks have been completed, and there are a few that I can't count. They are the eunuch Zhang Di of the Belle Palace, the maid Pei'er of the Fangxi Pavilion, and the maid Su Qin'er of the Huanyang Palace. Su Qin'er belongs to the concubine Yuan." Wang An took out the roster in his arms, bent down and offered it with both hands.

"Go and check carefully, this Su Qin'er."
