A farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 611 Who Will Be the Emperor

"It's Xu Wen. I heard that it's because he was good at guiding the battle in the north, but it's not like we don't know about the battle in the north. We've been retreating and losing repeatedly. How could he be good at fighting?"

"Oh, then when was this Xu Wen sent to the north?"

"I only went there last year, and I came back after only a few months. I didn't go this year at all, and he was my subordinate before, and now..." Li Ze shook his head: "He is already above me."

After finishing speaking, Li Ze took another sip of wine, and then looked at Taishi Yan: "If I say something, others may think that I am jealous of him. After all, a person can climb on top of me. Yes, but this Xu Wen, first of all, is not as skilled as me, and secondly, he is not as experienced as me in leading troops. I grew up in a military camp when I was young, and I only mastered the ability to lead troops in combat after hard training and hard study. Well, I was born as a civil servant, and with some kung fu, I was promoted to my head after only one year in the Ministry of War. Grand Master Yan, I really can't figure it out. I only tell you these words, and I don't know how to say them to others. "

Grand Master Yan smiled, and poured another glass of wine for Li Ze: "I can understand your distress, not only you, but also a military envoy who was transferred to the north to fight in the north yesterday."

Li Ze was a little surprised, but then said: "Personnel transfers are always normal. If you do a good job, you will be promoted, and if you don't do well, you will be demoted. But I always feel that this happened to me. It's a bit strange."

"Apart from what you think is unfair, what else is strange?" Grand Master Yan asked.

But Li Ze hesitated to speak.

Grand Master Yan poured another glass of wine for Li Ze: "Li Ze, you and I have met a few times, and I value your character very much. If you trust me, it's okay."

Li Ze thought for a while, then finished his glass of wine with his head raised: "Forget it, I've fallen to this point anyway, so it doesn't matter if I say it."

Li Ze saw that there was no one around, and then lowered his voice: "That Xu Wen, I heard that he is a distant relative of Master Qin Kun."

"Oh? Seriously?"

In fact, Taishi Yan has sent someone to investigate this Xu Wen, but apart from knowing that he grew up in the whole county and has an uncle in the military camp, he knows nothing about it. What kind of contacts have the ministers of the DPRK and China had?

That's why Grand Master Yan came to talk to Li Ze. Li Ze had been in the Ministry of War for many years, so he might know something inside.

Seeing that Taishi Yan didn't quite believe that Xu Wen was Qin Kun's relative, Li Ze said again: "Teacher, I actually couldn't believe it before, but when Xu Wen was my subordinate, I saw him accepting Qin Kun's relatives." He burned some letters after reading them, and I have encountered them several times, and someone told me that Xu Wen raised a concubine outside, and that concubine often wrote to him, so I didn’t think much about it.”

"However, one day a few months ago, I asked him for something again. He was not there at the time, so I saw some scraps of paper by the charcoal stove next to me. I looked at it at the time, and there was a word Qin on it. Of course, I I still didn't suspect Mr. Qin. Xu Wen and Mr. Qin were not even close to each other. Until a month ago, a group of us went out to a restaurant for a gathering. At that time, there were only five or six people, all of whom were from the Ministry of War. Say what you want, and then I talked about Mr. Qin who retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. I don’t know if it’s because we all drank too much. The more we talked, the bolder we became. In the end, Xu Wen suddenly asked, if Xu Wen really became the emperor, would you listen to him?"
