The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Yan Chen calmed down, his anger slowly subsided, and his tone became much gentler: "If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

"Last summer, did the late emperor nominate a martial arts champion?" Wen Jin said slowly, "Does the emperor still remember?"

Last year's martial arts champion?

The emperor was slightly stunned, and the civil and military officials in the court were also confused for a moment, and then someone suddenly realized and said, "I remember, it's that Xie... Thank you for what?"

"Xie Yunzhou."

"Yes, Xie Yunzhou." The Minister of Revenue hurriedly said, "I know this person. He was the top martial arts champion last year. The late emperor admired him very much and praised him for his excellent martial arts and extraordinary military strategy. He will become a pillar of the court in the future... It's just that there is no vacant position for a general in the court, so he has been staying in the Ministry of War to master the business."

Yan Chen thought about it and it seemed that there was indeed such a person.

Although he didn't remember who it was for a while, since Wen Jin remembered, the Minister of Revenue remembered, and other ministers seemed to have an impression, then it seems that this person should be right.

So he looked at Wen Jin: "Can you do it?"

"It should be no problem."

Wen Jin never praised someone easily, and since he had been affirmed, Yan Chen was relieved.

After all, the late emperor told him before his death that Wen Jin was capable.

"After the court session, Wen Qing, follow me to the Imperial Study to discuss the matter of sending troops to quell the rebellion." Yan Chen made a prompt decision, "Call that Xie..."

"Reporting to the emperor, call Xie Yunzhou."

"Yes, call that Xie Yunzhou too, I will see you."

"I obey your order."

In fact, as long as it is the regent who sends troops, everything is fine.

So the morning court session ended hastily, and Yan Chen called the three ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War to go to the Imperial Study to discuss matters.

After arriving at the Imperial Study, Wen Jin asked the three ministers to wait for a while, and then went into the Imperial Study alone.

After closing the door, he looked at the emperor sitting behind the imperial desk and was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty."

"Mr. Wen." Yan Chen said, "How confident are you in letting Xie Yunzhou lead the troops?"

"If Xie Yunzhou leads the troops alone, I am not very confident." Wen Jin looked indifferent, "So I suggest that Xie Yunzhou take charge of the seal and I will be the military advisor."

Yan Chen was stunned: "You will be the military advisor?"

"Yes." Wen Jin nodded slowly, "After all, Xie Yunzhou is still a newcomer and has no experience on the battlefield. If you let him go rashly, if he becomes timid after going to the battlefield, I can still give him some advice from the side."

Although the Prime Minister is a civil servant, he still has strategies. Otherwise, how could he sit in the position of Prime Minister within three years? The first emperor promoted him exceptionally on the one hand, and the other hand is naturally because there is a reason for the first emperor to promote him exceptionally.

Yan Chen could not help but hesitate.

Although he had an unfounded fear of Wen Jin, if Wen Jin really left Beijing, he was worried that no one would make decisions for him if something else happened in the court.

"There is another reason why I became a military advisor." Wen Jin lowered his eyes and spoke in a gentle voice. "The emperor asked me to investigate the relationship between the Suzaku King and the eldest princess. I think only by going to Suzaku City in person can I find out whether the eldest princess has returned and what the relationship between her and the Suzaku King is."

Yan Chen was stunned and then fell silent.

That's right.

The rebels started from the southeast. They would pass through Suzaku City on the way from the imperial city to the southeast to suppress the rebellion. It would be easier to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the truth.

But Yan Chen was still somewhat relieved: "It will take half a year to suppress the rebellion, and I am really unsure."

"If the emperor is relieved, I can issue a military order." Wen Jin said lightly, "If the rebellion is successfully suppressed, I will be punished."

"I am not relieved about you, but I am worried that there will be more changes in the court." Yan Chen frowned, "Too many things have happened recently, and I am really overwhelmed. People say that General Xiao and Wen Aiqing are my left and right arms, one civil and one military, but General Xiao has been gone for a short time, and changes have occurred one after another in the court. If Wen Aiqing also leaves, I always feel a little uneasy."

"I will make proper arrangements, and everything is for the country." Wen Jin wanted to pay attention to his concerns, "The suppression of the rebellion is delayed, please consider the overall situation. It's important to make a decision early. "

Yan Chen was silent for a moment, knowing that the rebellion would take time, and just nodded: "Okay, I agree with your proposal."

Wen Jin bowed calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What else do you want?"

"I want to sign a military order with Xie Yunzhou, and everything is done to eliminate the rebels. After going to the battlefield, all decisions will be made by you, and I will not interfere without authorization. But if you make a wrong decision, I will make the main decision." Wen Jin said slowly, "As long as you win this battle, all the credit will belong to Xie Yunzhou, and I will compete with you for credit."

This means that it is the emperor who promoted Xie Yunzhou, and when the military credits are all counted on Xie Yunzhou, Xie Yunzhou will be grateful and loyal to the emperor from then on.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chen showed a gratified look on his face: "I am very pleased that Mr. Wen has considered everything for others. Don't worry, Mr. Wen, as long as you win the battle and successfully eliminate the rebels, I will reward you according to your merits after you come back, and I will not treat anyone unfairly."

Wen Jin bowed his head: "Yes."

"Come here!" Yan Chen ordered loudly, "Send Xie Yunzhou."

Wen Jin turned around to open the door of the imperial study, signaling the three ministers to come in. When he turned around, the color in Wen Jin's eyes was as deep as a cold pond, deep and bottomless, cold and piercing.

Yan Chen discussed the details of suppressing the rebellion and the subsequent food and grass issues with the three ministers one by one. Wen Jin stood aside and listened quietly. When he had an idea, he would say one or two. When he had no idea, he would listen quietly to their discussion, his eyebrows and eyes as calm as snow.

After a while, a tall and straight young man in a green official robe walked into the imperial study and saluted respectfully: "I am grateful to Yunzhou, and I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
