Chapter 186

Shen Wuming closed his eyes slightly and thought carefully. This strategy was okay, but it could not take down the prince of the Tiele tribe.

It would take some effort to make him lead the elite soldiers of the Tiele tribe to leave the capital.

"Golden Knife Plan!"

Shen Wuming thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking of Wang Meng in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At that time, Wang Meng, the prime minister of the Former Qin Dynasty, was far-sighted and realized that Murong Chui, the uncle of the Former Yan Dynasty who had defected, had problems.

He would threaten the Former Qin Dynasty in the future.

He wrote to Fu Jian, the king of the Former Qin Dynasty, many times, urging him to get rid of Murong Chui to eliminate future troubles.

But Fu Jian was tolerant and never listened. In the end, Wang Meng decided to use the Golden Knife Plan.

"Let me think..."

Shen Wuming thought about the latest news from the court. The Tiele tribe came to pay tribute, which was also published in the official newspaper.

He had also read it.

There were two people leading the way, one was Xue Yanmi, the prince of the Tiele tribe, and Alando, the left commander.

Xue Yanmi is the son of the Khan of the Tiele tribe. Although he is not the eldest son, his maternal line has considerable power.

So all along, Xue Yanmi has been trying to compete for the position of Khan.

This mission to the Northern Han court is to gild himself and increase the weight of seizing power.

And the Khan of the Tiele tribe seems to support him, so he sent the Zuo Da Duwei who is close to Xue Yanmi.

Strictly speaking, Alando is still Xue Yantuo's uncle, and the two are very close.

"If I can get Alando's token, I will definitely be able to gain the trust of Xue Yanmi!"

When Shen Wuming thought of this, a conspiracy had already been born in his heart, and he turned around and started to discuss with Cao Zhuyu.

Cao Zhuyu seems simple, but it does not mean that she is a fool. On the contrary, she is very sensitive.

After all, she is the daughter of the merchant leader, and even Cao Zijing wants her to take over the Cao family business.

She is definitely not a naive person.

Hearing Shen Wuming's plan, she was immediately shocked, "This... This is really the best plan."

"The only thing is to block the information gap between them, and the other is to obtain a token of weight."

These are indeed two difficulties.

However, Shen Wuming has the precedent of Wang Meng, his ancestor, which makes it much easier.

It's nothing more than preparing a treasure and then visiting Alando.

"It's just that we didn't meet before, and he has recently fallen out with the Wei Wang Mansion. He may not give you a chance..."

Cao Zhuyu said carefully.

Shen Wuming shook his head, "It's precisely for this reason that maybe he will let me get close, believe me."

...

Imperial Study.

Five prime ministers gathered here, and there were also six ministers, all of whom were present this time.

"Your Majesty suddenly summoned, is there something important? Does the left prime minister know?"

The right prime minister is an old man with white hair and cloudy eyes. It seems that he will be buried soon.

But people don't dare to think so.

After all, twenty years ago, someone saw that the Right Prime Minister was already in his eighties and was ready to take over his position.

As a result, batch after batch of people died, but the Right Prime Minister still looked the same, and his position did not move.

The Left Prime Minister shook his head, "You are the Prime Minister, and I am also the Prime Minister. We have the same status."

"You don't know, do you think I know?"

The Right Prime Minister saw that he was not polite, and his expression was not annoyed. He just smiled and folded the walnuts in his hand.

He looked very leisurely.

The other three prime ministers and six ministers, whose status was slightly lower than that of the left and right prime ministers, were silent at this time.

However, there was still a puzzled look on their faces. The emperor suddenly summoned them without saying a reason.

As a result, they had been here for most of the day, but the emperor did not come, which made them even more anxious.

At this moment, a clear voice came from outside, "Your Majesty is here!"

The prime ministers and ministers hurriedly stood up, looked at the peerless figure who walked in from the door, and hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty!"

The empress waved her hand and walked to the dragon throne and sat down. "No need to be polite, let's get down to business."

"I called you here this time for one thing, who can take over the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin of Anyi Wenguang?"

In terms of real power, the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is actually not much different from the governor of a large county.

In terms of the size of Jingzhao Prefecture, it may not be comparable to some large border counties, but the location is extremely critical.

First, it is under the feet of the emperor.

Second, the rank is very high.

Therefore, even the emperor will not decide on the selection of Jingzhao Yin in one word, but will discuss it.

Everyone looked at each other, and the six ministers kept silent, just acting as a bystander.

They were just present.

The real decision was still in the hands of the emperor and the five prime ministers.

After a moment of silence, the left prime minister suddenly said, "How about Pei Deben!"

"He has been the Dali Temple Minister for some years. Normally, the next step is to be the Imperial Censor or the Minister of Justice."

"But he is a radical person. It is better to put him in the position of Jingzhao Yin and polish him for two years."

After all, although Jingzhao Yin's territory is not large, it governs Luoyang City.

The temple is small and the demons are strong, and the water is shallow and the turtles are many.

Being responsible for all aspects of things, not just solving cases, is quite a test.

What the left prime minister said is not unreasonable, but when the others heard it, their faces changed drastically.

Let him be the Dali Temple Minister!

On weekdays, they respect him a little bit. As long as he has not committed any crime, then they don't need to be afraid.

But if he becomes Jingzhao Yin...

Who doesn’t have some dirty business?

Usually, the Dali Temple is busy with major cases across the country, so they won’t focus on it.

But if Pei Deben becomes Jingzhao Yin, it will be troublesome if he slowly handles it with them.

“Absolutely not.”

A prime minister waved his hand on the spot, “Pei Deben is good at criminal law, and he has the tendency to be strict and severe.”

“Let him take charge of the Dali Temple, it will definitely bring peace to the court and the country, but if he takes charge of the capital, I’m afraid he will become a cruel official.”

The left prime minister didn’t care. He proposed Pei Deben, first of all, he really meant to recommend him.

But the most important thing is to throw out a brick to attract jade.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Pei Deben was indeed not suitable for the position of Jingzhao Yin.

Everyone successively put forward many candidates, and in the game of mutual bargaining, they finally handed the decision to the empress.

The empress thought for a moment, "You all make sense, but the position of Jingzhao Yin is responsible for too many things!"

"Not only are there livelihood issues, but we also need to guard against all aspects, especially the recent instability in the government and the opposition."

"The war with Yan State is brewing. We are prepared, and the other side is also preparing."

"The front line has sent news that many spies have infiltrated the capital."

"Jingzhao Yin controls the important area of ​​Luoyang, and can no longer be a civil official, but a person who is both civil and military."

This makes sense.

Everyone nodded slightly, but for a moment, no one could think of a suitable candidate.
