Chapter 326 Cang Yue

The matter of the sleepy fairy tea was over.

Then Lu Chen did not care about it anymore, but talked to Jiang Chengwan about business.

"By the way, Lu Qing."

Jiang Chengwan sat on the dragon chair, picked up the memorial and flipped through it, and asked: "Who do you think I should send to assist you in governing the seven provinces this time?"

Last time when Yuzhou was tackling floods, Lu Chen was only an engineer, and Xiao Yun was nominally the chief officer, so he could only send some guards to accompany him for protection. As a result, when Lu Chen was in charge of Yuzhou, he basically did all the affairs himself, which almost exhausted him to death.

"Fortunately" there was Fu Hua who was proficient in various secret arts and magic arrays.

This time Lu Chen was serving as the chief historian of the seven provinces as a high-ranking official of the dynasty, so Jiang Chengwan could naturally send people to assist him and help him share the pressure.

In case he was too busy again.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said: "Let's first ensure the normal operation of the capital. After the fall of Yan Song and the nobles, the court's talent reserves are stretched to the limit. Now the officials of the three cabinets, six ministries and nine departments should not be moved lightly, especially Lord Xiao and Lord Liu. Now we have to rely on them to stabilize the situation in the capital."

"Let some young people who don't have enough experience go with me. It's a good opportunity to train them for future use."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan thought about it and shook her head.

"You still have to send some practical talents to be your right-hand men, otherwise it will be difficult to open up the situation in the early stage."

Lu Chen did not refuse, and responded directly:

"In this case, it will take two months. When the military and political affairs of the seven provinces are on the right track, they will be recalled to the capital. During this period, I will trouble Lord Xiao and others to work harder."

Jiang Chengwan nodded slightly, then pondered for a while before speaking again.

"In that case, let Gao Ming, Xia Yan, Wang Qian, Li Liang, Wei Xu and others go. In addition, Su Ning will be in charge of the Tiangong Division. Li Yue and you will go to Yuzhou. In addition, Lin Yi, Chu Fan, Wang Qi, Zhang Xuan and others you promoted will also go together. People you trained yourself will always be easier to use."

Lu Chen nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

"As for the combat power..."

Jiang Chengwan pondered again.

Lu Chen did not disturb him. Anyway, the lineup assigned to him by the empress would definitely not be bad, so there was no need to think too much.

After a while, Jiang Chengwan slowly opened his mouth and continued: "Chai Hongyu and Fu Hua will go with you. With two Guiyi Realm warriors guarding, I can feel a little more at ease. After Fu Hua goes to Yuzhou, the Xuanji Guard in the capital will be handed over to Zhu Yong, and Su Ming will take over as the commander of the Xuanwu Guard."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

What?

Both Fu Hua and Chai Hongyu are going?

Damn, why are there more and more women around me?

Moreover, if they all go to Yuzhou, what will happen to the capital?

Without a strong man in the Guiyi realm, can the capital be stable?

Thinking of this, his face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, no, Miss Chai and Commander Fu are both powerful people in the world. With them, they can intimidate the villains in the capital and make them dare not have any improper thoughts. How can we let them all leave the capital?"

Jiang Chengwan smiled mysteriously: "It is precisely because they are in the capital that those stinky rats hiding in the dark dare not show up, so I want to transfer them to Yuzhou."

Looking at her face with a look of wisdom, Lu Chen couldn't help but jump.

What the hell?

Is this girl going to play dirty again?

Uh... Why did I say "again"?

"Your Majesty, do you mean to lure the snake out of its hole?"

When Lu Chen said this, he inexplicably recalled the time when the empress took advantage of the fact that the Cangming Army had just entered the capital and no one knew what the Cangming Saint King was up to, and asked the Cangming Saint King to play the role of a powerful minister.

The empress used the same strategy of luring the snake out of its hole.

Not only did she kill a large number of court officials who had no loyalty to Daxia, she screened out those who could barely be used, and also lured out this "loyal minister" who was "unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness".

That was simply the starting point of the nightmare.

Since then, he began to rise rapidly, and in less than two years he became an important official of the country. The top compensation that was within reach became out of reach...

The past was unbearable to look back on, Lu Chen forced himself to hold back the discomfort in his heart, looked at Jiang Chengwan, and said with a face full of doubt:

"But, if there are no masters of the Return to One Realm who are loyal to the court in the capital..."

"There are."

Before Lu Chen finished speaking, Jiang Chengwan interrupted:

"It's just that you don't know, Lu Qing, and besides..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly unconsciously lifted the hair beside her ear, and said confidently: "I never do things that I am not sure of, it was like this when I eradicated the demon queen, and now... it is also like this. Since I dare to do this, I am naturally fully prepared. Lu Qing does not need to worry, just watch my methods."

Seeing her so confident, Lu Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

Indeed, although this little empress's ability to govern is not as good as his, her ability in political strategy is simply several streets ahead of him, otherwise she would not be able to turn the tables under the eyes of Queen Mother Zhao.

It was not his area of ​​expertise, so he could not say much for a while.

So he had no choice but to agree: "Since your majesty has his own plan, I will follow your orders, but... you should be prepared for the worst. Your majesty, please be careful in everything and make full preparations for contingencies. No matter what, you must not be careless."

Hearing this, the confidence on Jiang Chengwan's face suddenly faded a lot, replaced by a solemn look.

"Yes, I understand."

An honest and teachable look.

After the matter of top combat power was decided, Jiang Chengwan named Wang Qian, Gu Yanming and other veterans. Naturally, Lu Chen had no objection to this.

The strength of these veterans may be average, and they are not the strongest warriors of the Dongxu Realm, but their ability to lead troops in combat is first-rate and they are very experienced. Having them help sort out military affairs can greatly reduce Lu Chen's pressure in this regard.

The candidates for civil servants, generals and top combat power were determined during the conversation between the two.

This is also the most important thing right now.

After that, Lu Chen and the Empress began to discuss the follow-up arrangements and some details. It was not until night fell and the lanterns were turned on that Lu Chen was able to leave Ziji City.

at the same time.

"Cang Yue, have you really thought about it?"

Inside the Forbidden Army camp at Hulao Pass.

Xuanfeng frowned and looked at the right-hand man of Gu Simiao, who was also the Shenwu General. He had worked with him for many years when they were in the Can Ling Army. Now his comrade was Cang Yue, the deputy general of the Imperial Guard.

"Although Lu Shaobao is a sincere gentleman, treats his subordinates well, and is a close friend of the general, but...leaving the Imperial Guard, giving up the position of deputy general earned by many years of military service, and participating in Lu Shaobao's selection of the new army...it is better to reconsider this matter. Just give it a try.”

When Gu Simiao, who had just arrived at the Forbidden Army camp overnight to hand over the military power, mentioned the new army to them, let them be mentally prepared. If there were any officers in the Forbidden Army who were interested in the new army, they should Try to cooperate as much as possible and take the initiative to advance this matter.

As a result, Gu Simiao had just left and took half a month's leave. Cang Yue, who had just returned to the camp, told him that she was leaving the Forbidden Army and was preparing to go south with Lu Chen to make great achievements.

It is said that instead of advancing in the Forbidden Army, it is better to go to the south and have a try.

After all, Lu Shaobao is well-known as a good boss. As long as it is the credit of his subordinates, he will never take away any credit. Instead, he will give his deserved credit to his subordinates. If something bad happens, he will take the initiative to help his subordinates take the blame. pot.

Nowadays, the middle and high-level officials of Luojing Civil and Military Affairs basically know that the south is currently unstable, and the turmoil may be a disaster for ordinary people, but for military personnel, it is a good opportunity to make contributions and win the title of Lord.

Xuanfeng never expected that Cang Yue would be so eager for merit.

But in his opinion, there is indeed a chance to gain wealth by following Lu Shaobao, but... they are now high-ranking officials in the Forbidden Army. The risk of giving up such a high position to strive for a better future is not small...

He has always been prudent, and naturally he will not be tempted by the so-called New Army. After all, there is too little news about the New Army now. All that is known is that it is the highest-level guard organization and is personally led by Lu Shaobao, the most popular person in the current dynasty.

Seeing that his friend was so impulsive, he naturally wanted to persuade him.

However, Cang Yue shook her head, without any sign of wavering on her face.

"Don't think about it."

She said calmly: "I believe in the general's vision. It will definitely not go wrong to join the New Army and follow Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, Xuanfeng was suddenly speechless.

I believe in the General’s vision and so on... It sounds like I doubt the General...

Moreover, the general only asked us to organize the imperial army to cooperate with the selection of the new army, and he did not ask us to participate in the selection ourselves, right?

However, seeing Cang Yue's attitude of "I've made up my mind, you don't need to say more", he finally stopped trying to persuade her.

"All right."

He sighed softly and said helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything. I will write you the paperwork later."

Cang Yue smiled at him.

"Then there's Brother Lao Xuanfeng."

Xuanfeng shrugged and said, "Just don't regret today's choice in the future." Then he turned around and walked out of the camp gate.

Watching his leaving figure, Cang Yue let out a breath of turbid air, then clenched her fists inexplicably.

After a moment, her eyes became a little complicated and unspeakable.

"well"

Under the bright moonlight, a sigh of great sadness slowly sounded.

There was a sense of confusion in the voice, which was completely opposite to the unwavering determination when facing Xuan Feng just now. (End of chapter)
