Yangxin palace hall.
The supreme emperor of the West Wind Kingdom, Chu Xianda, was meeting with his ministers. The head of the Cui family, Cui Xichen, respectfully stood in front of Chu Xianda. The veteran of three dynasties gave the young emperor the highest respect.
"Duke, why don't you sit down and talk? We are emperor and minister in name, but in reality we are like father and son. Before my father passed away, he took my hand and told me to regard you as my fake father, to listen to everything you say and not to disobey. Over the years, Xianda's achievements are all thanks to Duke's support. Otherwise, with treacherous ministers in power, power will fall and the country will not be a country. I am also not happy being the emperor. "Chu Xianda pointed to the brocade stool in front of him, motioning Cui Xichen to sit down and talk.
"Emperor, minister, minister, father, son. Etiquette must not be abolished. "Cui Xichen said stubbornly with his back bowed. "I was favoured by the late emperor, so I can have today's glory, splendor and wealth. Xichen has always been grateful. To be able to serve the royal family, it is the supreme honour of my Cui family. As for the fake father, your majesty must not mention it again — — that would be killing him to wash away his dust, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to live long. "
"Hahaha, you old guy, you're still worried that you won't live long enough." Chu Xianda burst into laughter, even more satisfied with the performance of Cui Xichen. "I shouldn't have disturbed Duke at this time, first, I wanted to ask Duke to come and see me, and ask Duke to be at ease. I will remember Zhaoren's matter, I can guarantee here that Zhaoren's injustice will be redressed. I will make those who cannot and have no heaven pay a heavy price. "
As he said this, Chu Xianda's anger could not be quenched. No matter what the Cui family's attitude is, it was unacceptable that his face was swept away.
"Thank you, your majesty." Cui Xichen shed tears of gratitude and was about to kneel and kowtow.
Cui Xianda was one step ahead, supporting Cui Xichen's arm. "Duke, you don't have to bow. Zhaoren was killed when he was working for me, I am also deeply saddened by this matter. That Li Muyang not only killed a good son of the Cui family, but also killed a good minister of mine. No matter what, we must make him pay with his blood. "
"With Your Majesty's words, Zhaoren's death is not unjust." Cui Xichen burst into tears.
"It's just that, because the old guy of the Lu Family has been crying in front of me, and Zhaoren is not efficient enough, so there are some things that can be used against him, so — — Duke, please be patient for a while."
"I understand. The country is the most important, Your Majesty must not harm the country for the sake of revenge. "Cui Xichen consoled in a deep voice.
"Duke is the one who knows me best." Chu Xianda sighed. "There is one more thing I need to discuss with the High Duke. After Zhaoren left, I felt like I had lost my hearing and eyes, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness. Therefore, after thinking about it, I feel that it is time to rebuild the Monitoring Division. Zhaoren was previously in charge of the Monitoring Division, I can trust him. Therefore, I thought that this time, I would like to see if the High Duke can recommend a good candidate for me, a good official who can work for me faithfully. "
"Here comes the compensation." Cui Xichen thought to himself.
His face remained calm and collected, after a serious thought, he said: "Cui Jian can shoulder this heavy responsibility."
"Cui Jian?" Chu Xianda thought for a moment. "The one known as the head of the seven sons of the Cui family, Cui Jian?"
"Your Majesty, he is not the head of the seven sons of the Cui family, but the head of the seven sons of the West Wind Kingdom. He is a son of my Cui family, but also a son of the Kingdom, a citizen of Your Majesty. When the Kingdom needs them, they will stand up at any time, shed their blood, protect the land of the country, and share the burden of Your Majesty. "
"Good, good." Chu Xianda was overjoyed, smiled and said: "Protect the land of the country, worry for Your Majesty. If everyone has such awareness, won't my West Wind Kingdom prosper? I am familiar with Cui Jian's name, he was the champion of the Kingdom's martial arts competition for three years in a row, a heroic youngster of Tiandu. Later I heard that he went out to train and travel, and there has been no news of him for several years. Now he should have made great progress? "
"Whether he has made great progress, Your Majesty needs to personally assess him. Old minister dare not rashly praise him, I'm afraid it's not pleasing to your Majesty's eyes. "Cui Xichen said seriously.
"Hahaha, you old guy are too cautious." Chu Xianda burst into a hearty laughter. "Tell Cui Jian to come see me, if he is to my liking, I will hand over the Monitoring Division to him, like how I trust him — —"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Xichen bowed respectfully.
Just as the emperor and minister were in high spirits, chamberlain Li Fu came over to report: "Your Majesty, the Defence Minister is here, he said he has an urgent matter to see Your Majesty."
"Lu Xingkong that old man — —" Chu Xianda was infuriated when he heard this name. His people were killed, the matter was messed up, but this old man still came crying every day saying he would give him justice. He wants me to give him justice, who will give me justice? "What is he doing here?"
"He didn't say."
"I won't see him."
"Yes. Your Majesty. "Li Fu turned to leave.
"Wait." Chu Xianda thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, let him in."
"Yes. Your Majesty. "Li Fu answered.
Chu Xianda looked at Cui Xichen and said: "Defence Minister, you can rest in the back hall and have some tea and snacks. I want to see what the old guy wants to see me for. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Xichen glanced at his Highness and followed the chamberlain to the back hall.
Lu Xingkong followed Li Fu into the hall, and after he knelt down and kowtowed, Chu Xianda sat on the high chair and asked: "Defence Minister, why did you come to see me today?"
Given Lu Xingkong's age and status, he did not need to bow. Moreover, he should be given a seat after the greeting.
But because Chu Xianda was dissatisfied with Lu Xingkong, he deliberately forgot about this. He let him kneel in front of him to answer.
"I have a proposal, I ask your Majesty to accept it."
"Huh? What's your suggestion? "
"I want to ask your Majesty to rebuild the Monitoring Division." Lu Xingkong said with a solemn expression.
“----”
Chu Xianda's first reaction was that there was a spy around him, what he was about to do was sold to this old man.
However, this speed was too fast, wasn't it?
Moreover, after hearing that he wanted to rebuild the Monitoring Division, shouldn't Lu Xingkong, this old guy, strongly oppose it? Last time, he also tried to stop him, but he still handed over the Monitoring Division to Cui Zhaoren. Why did he do the opposite this time?
Could it be that he sensed his crisis and wanted to use this matter to ease the relationship with me?
Or is there some other intention that I can't understand?
"The Monitoring Division is the eyes and ears of the Emperor, responsible for supervising the officials and protecting the country. The Monitoring Division encountered a disaster, dozens of iron-blooded soldiers of the kingdom lost their lives, it really is a sad and regrettable matter. However, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, the ruler cannot be without the Monitoring Division. I ask your Majesty to put away your sadness, make a decision early, rebuild a stronger and more efficient Monitoring Division, solve problems for your Majesty, and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. "Lu Xingkong did not care about Chu Xianda's attitude, he knelt there and continued to state the pros and cons.
"Defence Minister's suggestion is very good, but — — I need to think about it again." Chu Xianda found that he needed to be careful when speaking to this old guy, otherwise Xiaoxin would fall into his trap. Thinking that he, the Emperor, was so pitiful, he hated this old guy even more. Rebuilding the Monitoring Division was something that he had been thinking about for a long time, this matter must be done. But after being disturbed by this old guy, he began to be a little uncertain — — Is there a loophole or crisis that he did not consider?
Chu Xianda's thoughts were complicated, but he still had to concentrate on answering the old guy in front of him. "Rebuilding the Monitoring Division is a matter of great importance to the country, I need to discuss it with all the officials before making a decision."
"Your Majesty, it is the blessing of the people to speak." Lu Xingkong said with a smile. "If your Majesty wants to rebuild the Monitoring Division, I have a capable candidate to recommend. Iron Wall General Xu Da, a soldier, has fought hundreds of battles for the country, winning every battle and almost never losing. He has guarded Broken Dragon Pool for more than ten years, the border is stable and the soldiers trust him. The people call him 'Iron Wall General'. "
"Last time, because of Cui Zhaoren's plot, General Xu Da was arrested and sent to Tiandu. Until now, he is still idle at home and unable to return to Broken Dragon Pool — — So I suggest that your Majesty let him rebuild the Monitoring Division for you, to make up for the humiliation General Xu Da has suffered, and also to prove to the border soldiers that you trust the border army, that you are willing to prove General Xu Da's innocence and keep him by your side. I think, if General Xu Da is given this important task, he will certainly shed tears of gratitude and do his utmost for your Majesty until his death. "
“----”
Chu Xianda wanted to curse out loud.
I have just chosen a candidate for the Monitoring Division's chief seal, you old dog already want to put your trusted aide in.
If Xu Da really becomes the chief seal of the Monitoring Division, he will indeed shed tears of gratitude and do his utmost, but the object of his gratitude and dedication is you Lu Xingkong and not me Chu Xianda.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
"Defence Minister — —" Chu Xianda forcibly suppressed the hostility in his heart, burst into a hearty laughter. "You are always thinking for me, worried about my urgent needs, I am very pleased. It's just that this is an important matter of the country, I need to discuss it with everyone and then carefully consider it — — Give me some time, how about it? "
"I await your Majesty's decision." Lu Xingkong said respectfully.
After Lu Xingkong bowed and said goodbye, Chu Xianda once again invited Cui Xichen out.
After Cui Xichen heard the purpose of Lu Xingkong's visit, he said with a sigh: "Defence Minister played a good move. Advancing at every step, he was unfathomable. Cui Jian most likely will not be able to share your Majesty's worries and take charge of the Monitoring Division. "
