Chapter 1520: Keeping the Secret

This time, Emperor Wen will not stay in Linjiang for too long.

Therefore, he also specifically instructed that there was no need to prepare a temporary palace, and that they could just stay in the government office near the river.

"Is there any new news from the Kingdom of Li?"

As soon as Emperor Wen sat down in the government office, he couldn't wait to ask Yun Zheng.

"There is no new news for the time being."

Yun Zheng replied: "Juncheng has been recaptured, and the enemy has been completely defeated. What remains is to beat the enemy when he is down. Father, don't worry."

Yun Zheng no longer worried about the war over there.

Although there had been no good news sent back in the past few days, Yun Zheng knew in his heart that when he received the next good news, it would be the news of the destruction of the Li Kingdom and the Gaoqin Tribe.

Although the outcome of this battle is no longer in suspense, the enemy still has such a large territory that it will take some time to completely destroy the Gaoqin people.

"Where's Jiayao?"

Emperor Wen asked again: "He didn't say when he would bring the child back?"

"This...I really didn't say that."

Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "Currently Jia Yao is no longer in the army. Pang Jinjiu is in charge now."

Emperor Wen frowned slightly, "That means she's hiding again, right?"

"It's not like I'm hiding!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Now we all know where she is, we just don't want to disturb her. Father, you can understand that she is temporarily in seclusion. She said she has something else to do and will come back when she is done."

Now, they all know that Jiayao is in the mountains northeast of Pingji.

It’s actually very easy to find Jiayao.

As long as Yun Zheng gives an order to the Eighteen Ghost Riders, they will soon find Jia Yao.

But there is no need for him to look for Jia Yao now.

Wait for Jiayao to finish the things she is doing!

"Does she really have something to do, or is this just an excuse?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng meaningfully.

"It must be something serious."

Yun Zheng replied: "If she doesn't want to go back, she doesn't need to make excuses, just say it directly."

Is that so?

Emperor Wen lowered his brows and thought.

After a moment, Emperor Wen raised his eyes again and said sternly: "Pay attention to Jiayao's affairs! This girl is a heroine. If she is content to be your concubine, everything will be fine! But if she wants to make you unhappy, you may never live in peace in this life!"

Emperor Wen never denied Jia Yao's excellence.

He once considered Jia Yao as the best candidate for Yun Zheng's future queen.

Jia Yao's brilliant performance in Li State this time once again proved her excellence.

Emperor Wen admired Jia Yao but also felt wary of her.

"Father, this shouldn't be the case, right?"

Yun Zheng laughed.

"It's not that fart!"

Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng and said, "What if she lets your son rebel in the future? Do you help Cang'er or you and her son?"

"That won't happen!"

Yun Zheng said confidently: "I will never let this happen!"

Never?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen couldn't help but laugh at himself.

When I was young, I thought so too.

However, there are some things that are beyond our control.

"Think about you brothers when you have nothing to do!"

Emperor Wen sighed softly: "I don't want your next generation to repeat the tragedy of the previous generation..."

"Don't worry, Father. I understand!"

Yunzheng nodded heavily.

He could understand Emperor Wen's good intentions.

However, he also firmly believes in his own judgment.

Emperor Wen did not dwell on this question too much, and instead asked Yun Zheng: "Why did you ask me to come to Linjiang?"

Yun Zheng chuckled, "Let me keep you in suspense for now! Your Majesty will know tomorrow."

Still not telling?

That's it!

We’ll know tomorrow anyway, so let him keep it a secret!

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng unhappily and warned him, "I still say the same thing. If you make me feel that this trip was in vain, I will beat you!"

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng grinned, "If your Majesty feels that this trip was in vain, and your Majesty wants to whip me, I will never dodge!"

"Would you like to try to dodge it?"

Emperor Wen bulged his eyes and said, "You really think I'm old, don't you?"

"Not old, not old."

Yun Zheng laughed, "With the spirit and energy of your father right now, if I give you a knife, you can go into battle and kill the enemy."

"roll!"

Emperor Wen laughed and scolded.

This rebellious son, even his flattery is so fake!

Ugh!

How great it would be if I could really still pick up a sword and go into battle!

old!

You can’t refuse to accept your age!

Emperor Wen sighed inwardly and then told Yun Zheng about Qinpu.

Now that Xiqu has surrendered, arrangements for Qinpu and those surrendered people in Xiqu must also be finalized.

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, "Didn't I ask the officials in the court to discuss this with the emperor? After such a long time, they still haven't come to a conclusion, right?"

"Listen to me!"

Emperor Wen glared at him and continued, "It's easy to arrange, but the key is how to use it!"

Chimp was also a man of great talent and strategy.

It's a pity to leave such a person unused.

But when you use it, you don't feel particularly safe.

The court had already decided how to reward people like Qinpu.

What is uncertain now is where to put these people.

This position should allow them to give full play to their strengths, but not allow them to cause trouble.

Emperor Wen wanted to let Qinpu join the Censorate.

In the future, when the current Chief Censor Liang Lunchen retires, Qin Pu will be the Chief Censor.

By that time, Tuohuan must have been old.

In this way, there is guaranteed to be a foreigner among the three prime ministers.

But Emperor Wen felt that it would be a waste of his talent if Qinpu was allowed to join the Censorate now.

Therefore, Emperor Wen wanted to hear what Yun Zheng had to say.

Moreover, Yun Zheng has been with Qinpu for such a long time and knows Qinpu better.

Emperor Wen still had more faith in Yun Zheng's vision for employing people.

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile, "I don't have such a long-term vision as your father. What I want is to let Qinpu join the Ministry of War or become a governor of a state."

"Ministry of War?"

Emperor Wen frowned slightly, "Are you at ease letting him join the Ministry of War?"

"Of course, don't worry!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "If I put him in another position, I might not feel at ease, but even if I put him in the position of Minister of War, I will feel at ease!"

Emperor Wen lowered his brows and thought, then he suddenly realized.

That's true!

When it comes to fighting, this rebellious son should not be afraid of anyone!

Not to mention Yun Zheng, when it comes to fighting, Jia Yao is probably better than Qin Pu.

What's more, Yun Zheng has a lot of battle-hardened generals under his command.

These generals were all promoted and discovered by Yun Zheng.

Even if Qinpu was appointed as the Minister of War, as long as Yun Zheng did not allow those people to move, Qinpu would not be able to mobilize a single soldier.

Moreover, placing Qinpu in the Ministry of War would allow him to better play to his strengths.

As for the governor of a state, that is also acceptable.

But it cannot be placed in a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

"Then do as you say!"

Emperor Wen no longer hesitated, "The position of the Minister of War or the Governor of a state is up to Qinpu to choose!"

"Ah."

Yunzheng nodded slightly.

After settling this matter, the father and son began to talk about the issue of conferring titles.

What Emperor Wen meant was that those generals who had made great contributions should not be given titles if possible!

The title will be conferred after Yun Cang ascends the throne.

But someone like Chinpu must be knighted now.

Yun Zheng understood what Emperor Wen meant and agreed immediately.
