Chapter 46 Xie Yunzhou

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, didn't the late emperor propose 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 stunned for a moment, and then someone suddenly realized and said, "I remember it now, it's that Xie... Thank you for what?"

"Xie Yunzhou."

"Yes, Xie Yunzhou." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue spoke hurriedly, "I know this person, last year's martial arts champion, the late emperor admired him very much, and praised him for not only his martial arts skills, but also his outstanding military strategy and tactics. He will become a pillar of the court in the future... It's just that there is no vacant position of generals 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 couldn't remember who it was for a moment, since Wen Jin remembered, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue remembered, and other ministers seemed to have an impression, he thought that this person should be good.

So he looked at Wen Jin: "Is he okay?"

"It should be no problem."

Wen Jin never praised a person easily, and since he was sure, Yan Chen was relieved.

After all, the late emperor had told him before his death that Wen Jin could be used.

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

"Reporting to the emperor, his name is Xie Yunzhou."

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

"I obey your order."

Anyway, as long as the regent didn't send troops, everything would be fine.

So the morning court 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.

Arriving outside the Imperial Study, Wen Jin asked the three ministers to wait outside for a while, and he 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 in the battlefield. I can't let him go rashly. In case he gets timid after going to the battlefield, I can still give him some pointers 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? On the one hand, the previous emperor promoted him exceptionally, and on the other hand, it was naturally because he had reasons for the previous emperor to promote him exceptionally.

Yan Chen couldn't 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 quell the rebellion. It would be easier to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the truth.

But Yan Chen was still a little worried: "I've been away for half a year to suppress the rebellion, and I'm really unsure."

"If the emperor is worried, I can issue a military order." Wen Jin said lightly, "If the rebellion cannot be suppressed smoothly, I will be willing to accept the punishment."

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the court." Yan Chen frowned, "Too many things have happened recently, and I'm really overwhelmed. They all 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 the court has been in a state of change. If Wen Aiqing also leaves, I always feel a little uneasy."

"I will make proper arrangements, and everything is for the country." Wen Jin didn't want to pay attention to his concerns, "The suppression of the rebellion cannot be delayed, and please consider the overall situation. It's important to make a decision early. "

Yan Chen was silent for a moment, knowing that the rebellion could not be delayed, so he could only nod: "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 take the elimination of the rebels as my responsibility. After going to the battlefield, all decisions will be made by him, and I will not interfere without authorization. But if his decision is not appropriate, my decision will prevail." Wen Jin said slowly, "As long as we can win this battle, all the credit will belong to Xie Yunzhou, and I will not compete with him for credit."

This means that it was the emperor who promoted Xie Yunzhou, and when the time comes, all the military merits will be counted on Xie Yunzhou. Xie Yunzhou will be grateful and loyal to the emperor from then on.

Hearing this, Yan Chen showed a gratified look on his face: "I am very pleased that Mr. Wen has taken care of others in everything. Don't worry, Mr. Wen, as long as we 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 and opened the door of the imperial study, motioning the three ministers to come in. When he turned around, the color in Wen Jin's eyes was as deep as a cold pond, bottomless and chilling.

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 words. When he had no idea, he would just listen to their discussion quietly, 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 thank Yunzhou, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
