"Find another person for me to send a letter!" Yan Yan said again.

"Who?" Black and white Xuanjian didn't find it troublesome.

Yan Yan had saved his life, especially the lives of Wei Qianqian and his children. He would definitely repay this kindness.

"Li Xin, the son of the governor of Nanjun!" Yan Yan took out a scroll of bamboo slips that had already been written and handed it to Black and White Xuanjian.

"Li Xin?" Black and White Xuanjian frowned. He had never heard of this person!

"He should be the most trusted young general of Qin Wangzheng now, and if nothing else happens, he will also be a lieutenant in the Qin Palace!" Yan Yan thought for a while and said.

The internal guards in the palaces of various countries will be composed of the noble sons and daughters of the court. They are both hostages and the most trustworthy.

Therefore, Li Xin should now be serving as an internal guard officer in the Qin Palace.

"Okay!" Black and white Xuanjian nodded.

It's just a letter. With the power of the net, it's still very easy to do!
"One last favor, help me get all the information about the northern barbarians in the northern border of Qin!" Yan Yan continued.

"This is not easy. You need to sneak into the Qin Kingdom's Guowei's Mansion!" Black and white Xuanjian hesitated. This kind of military information cannot be touched by ordinary nets. It is the responsibility of the Guowei's Mansion and the King of Qin personally. Even Lu Buwei may not be able to touch it. .

"I only need information about the barbarians, not the troops deployed in the northern border of Qin!" Yan Yan explained.

"Okay!" Black and white Xuanjian breathed a sigh of relief. The defense plan was the most difficult thing to do. If it was just information about the barbarians, it would be much easier!
"After entering the Qin Dynasty, be careful of Zhao Gao. If you have the chance, kill him!" Yan Yan thought for a while and reminded Black and White Xuanjian.

Black and white Xuanjian will definitely go to Xianyang. As the new leader of Luo Wang, he will naturally guard Ying Zheng and be ready for Ying Zheng's orders at any time.

Black and white Xuanjian nodded again. Although he didn't know who Zhao Gao was, he was careful not to make a big mistake.

"It's time to return the black jian to me!" Yan Yan said looking at the black jian around the black and white Xuanjian's waist.

But Black and White Xuanjian shook his head, glanced at Wei Qianqian, and explained, "The Longtan Tiger's Den in Xianyang is extremely dangerous. Only Bai Jian, I'm not sure!"

"Okay!" Yan Yan smiled and shook his head, and then handed the Sun-Concealing Sword at his waist to Black and White Xuanjian.

"As the new leader of Luowen, you must have people under your command. This sword is regarded as a gift to wish you a promotion!"

"Thank you!" Black and white Xuanjian didn't hesitate and directly took the sun-concealing sword.

"Following Yang Duanhe more will not make you a supreme minister, but at least it will keep your family safe and worry-free!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Black and white Xuanjian still nodded, then looked at each other and Wei Qianqian, looked at Yan Yan and said, "The child was saved by my husband, so we, husband and wife, hope that you can accept him as your adopted son and give him a Name it!”

Yan Yan was stunned and looked at the baby in Wei Qianqian's arms, and then saw Wei Qianqian also nodding. It was obvious that the couple had discussed this before.

It was Yan Yan's first time to choose a name.

"Where's the last name?" Yan Yan asked.

Black and White Xuanjian was named after his sword, and apparently he didn't have a surname before he became the Snare Killer.

"Follow his mother's surname!" Black and white Xuanjian said calmly.

Yan Yan was stunned again. Wei Qianqian was the daughter of Wei Yong, and Wei Yong was also a descendant of Wei's clan. Therefore, like the king of Wei, Ji's surname was Wei!

"Ji's surname is Wei Yi. A gentleman who sticks to his will is also the beginning of all things!" Yan Yan thought for a while and then lightly scratched the ground. "One?" Black and white Xuanjian and Wei Qianqian didn't expect it to be so simple, but it was Yan Yan who took it and had a different explanation, so they nodded in agreement.

"Thank you sir for the name!" Wei Qianqian hugged Wei Yi and bowed in salute.

"It's time for me to go back!" Yan Yan looked at the sky, then stood up and said goodbye.

"Sir, go slowly!" Black and white Xuanjian and Wei Qianqian sent Yan Yan and Shao Siming out of the door.

Returning to Xinling Lord's Mansion, Yan Yan met Mao Sui and Wuming again.

"Your Majesty wants to see you!" Mao Sui spoke again.

Yan Yan nodded and followed Mao Sui to see Lord Xinling lying on the bed in the bedroom again.

It's just that Lord Xinling's face is not pretty, extremely pale, without any color at all.

"The king came to see me today and asked me to recommend someone to serve as the Prime Minister of the Wei State and to command the Wei State's army!" Lord Xinling saw Yan Yan coming back and motioned for Yan Yan to sit down before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, recommend me?" Yan Yan was a little curious.

"No, I am recommending my uncle, Lord Anling!" Lord Xinling said calmly.

Yan Yan nodded. There was no surprise. Wei State rarely appointed outsiders as prime ministers. Otherwise, Wu Qi would not have left Wei State and gone to Chu State to become prime minister.

The water in Wei State was so deep that Wu Qi, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju were all overwhelmed and had to run away. When Sun Bin came, he had to leave one leg before leaving.

Therefore, Yan Yan would not think that Lord Xinling would recommend him.

However, Yan Yan was still a little confused. Lord Xinling and Lord Anling seemed to have always been at odds with each other. This was not a private matter. However, he did not expect that Lord Xinling would recommend Lord Anling, who had always been against him, as prime minister.

"The Xinling Lord's Mansion is going to be disbanded, so I plan to hand over the Xinling Lord's Mansion to Sir. As for how many people can be left, it depends on Sir himself!" Mr. Xinling looked at Yan Yan and said seriously.

"Ah?" Yan Yan was stunned.

He was indeed interested in becoming a retainer of Lord Xinling's Mansion, but Lord Xinling personally handed over Lord Xinling's Mansion to him, which was not what he expected.

"Sir, I know that every country has a prime minister, whether it is the ninth or sixth minister, but have you ever understood the composition of the prime minister's office?" Lord Xinling looked at Yan Yan and asked.

Yan Yan shook his head. This was not something he should consider yet, so he didn't particularly understand it.

"To put it simply, no matter whether you are the Nine Qings or the Sixth Qing, they are all the king's retainers and generals!"

"So, the prime minister's palace and the general's palace are actually independent of the nine ministers, and they all have the qualifications to open a palace. The general has a general shogunate, and the prime minister also has his own prime minister's palace."

"They are all beings who check and balance the monarchy, and are truly responsible for the entire country."

"I don't know much about the shogunate. It is generally composed of military supervisors, counselors, army secretaries and captains of each battalion; while the prime minister's palace is even more complicated."

"The Prime Minister's Office is composed of various Cao Cao. The specific number of people will increase or decrease depending on the power of the Prime Minister. It is usually divided into Xicao, who is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials with a price of less than [-] shi, Dong Cao, who is in charge of the removal of officials with more than [-] shi. The Hu Cao who worships farmers and mulberry trees, the Zuo Cao who manages the memorials in the mansion, the Fa Cao who is in charge of postal services, etc."

"Therefore, all prime ministers will not be loners, but a group with their own followers and staff."

Yan Yan nodded. This was also the first time he learned about the process of appointing and removing ministers in various countries. He thought that they all had a team and only needed to be appointed and removed by the king, and then he could take office alone.
