"Show your style, show your level!" The queen's breathing became heavier, and then Liu Yuanzhen heard the sound of pearls colliding, and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes appeared in front of him.
"What's the name of that guest? Where is he from? Does he hold an official position?" Even though he had anticipated the queen's reaction, Liu Yuanzhen still couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart. Obviously, as long as he said that name, the person who was still in his home would Uninvited guests will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Empress Wu is very generous to the talents she likes.
"My surname is Wang and Wenzuo. I am from Langya, Shandong. I am a soldier in the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and join the army!"
"Wang Wenzuo? The military commander of Xiongjin Governor's Office? This name sounds familiar!" Wu suddenly laughed: "By the way, is he the one who reported to you that the relics were in the hands of the Japanese?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is indeed wise and wise, with unparalleled wisdom!"
"That's all, if you have the energy to flatter, let's save it and do something serious!" Wu Shi was obviously in a much better mood at this time. After she returned to Zhulian, there was a little more smile on her face: "He is returning to Chang'an this time. Because you put down the Baekje Rebellion, and you want to express your merits to the court, right?"
"That's right. I heard from him that his fellow deputy made Feng Han recuperate in Luoyang. As his deputy, he arrived in Chang'an first and is waiting for the emperor's summons!"
"That's right, that's right. I didn't expect that she was such a meritorious minister!" Mrs. Wu became even more happy when she heard this. Since she was established as queen by Li Zhi and tasted the taste of power, she has become increasingly aware of the lack of capable talents, especially those who are still sinking. Let's flirt with talents who are not affiliated with any political faction. Evil dogs will bite talented people very hard.
Although a child from an aristocratic family like Liu Yuanzhen has some abilities, after all, he still cares about his status and face and is not very comfortable in using them.
"Then why did Wang Wenzuo come to your house? Because of the polo team?" the queen asked.
"It's not that, it's for another thing! I found out about the polo team when I learned that he lived in Jin Renshou's house!" Liu Yuanzhen carefully expressed his merit to himself, but unfortunately Wu ignored it at all: " Then why did he come to your house? Is there any new news about the relic? "
"It has something to do with the relics!" Liu Yuanzhen sighed sadly in his heart: "He brought a few things to Wei Chen!" At this point, Liu Yuanzhen took out a piece of sea dragon skin from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head to offer it.
"What is this?" Mrs. Wu took the leather from the maid's hand and stroked it twice curiously: "It's so light and soft. This leather is really good! What kind of leather is this?"
"Reporting to your majesty, he said it is the skin of a sea animal, which the barbarians call sea dragon skin!"
"Sea dragon skin!" Wu laughed: "He just gave you this skin? What else?"
"There are also some fine carved feathers, gold sand, and pearls!"
"The fine carved feathers, gold sand, and pearls must have been obtained by him in Baekje!" Wu smiled and said, "He must have asked for something when he gave you such precious items, right? Was he asking for an official position? ?”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Haha!" Mrs. Wu laughed happily: "He is so generous when giving you gifts, he must be a corrupt official!" Before Liu Yuanzhen could speak, Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, it's rare to have someone so capable. Yes, it doesn’t matter if you are greedy, it is much better than being greedy and incompetent! There is no pure gold, and no one is perfect! What official position does he want to be?"
"Your Majesty, the official he wants to be is a bit special!" Liu Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, then repeated what Wang Wenzuo said in his palace just now, and finally said: "I can't think of anyone in the imperial court at the moment. This is the official position!"
"That's right, that's right!" Mrs. Wu smiled even more happily behind the bead curtain: "Even if you want to be an official, you also want to do things for me. There are not many people like this now. Liu Neifu!"
"Wei Chen is here!" Liu Yuanzhen quickly lowered his head.
"You go back and tell Wang Wenzuo that he will do it according to his method. As long as he can get the relic back within a year, I can take care of everything for him during this period! But if he can't get it back, , that’s another thing.”————————————————————————————Liu Mansion.
"As long as I can get the relics back within a year, no matter how big the problem is, Her Majesty the Queen can take it for me! Can I understand the Queen's words this way?" Wang Wenzuo asked cautiously.
"That's about it!" Looking at the man in front of him, Liu Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel a little sore in his heart. If a few hours ago, he really only saw him for Jin Renwen's sake, now he can say that he is already Jane. The future is limitless.
Having lived in an official career for a long time, he knows very well that the power in the hands of an official does not exactly correspond to his position and official rank. What really plays a decisive role is his personal relationship with the superior. The closer he is to the center of power, the more important it is. The location is even more so.
But it's sour. As Wang Wenzuo's recommender, if Wang Wenzuo is unlucky, he won't be able to escape his involvement, so he still has to say what needs to be said.
"Wang Canjun! The queen's words actually have another meaning. If you can get the relics within a year, everything will be fine. But if you can't get the relics, then the old and new accounts will be settled together!" Liu Yuanzhen said: "Wang Canjun, you want to Clear!"
"Hahaha!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "I have nothing to worry about. As long as I can get the relic, there will be no problem, right?"
"Oh?" Liu Yuanzhen heard the implication of Wang Wenzuo's words: "Do you have full confidence in Wang Canjun?"
"Nonsense, as long as I nod, Gui Shiyun will send the relics, of course I am sure!" Wang Wenzuo sneered in his heart, but said: "There is no absolute certainty in this kind of thing, but for a warrior like me , I have long been used to it between life and death, if I worry about everything, how can I still worry about it!"
"That's true!" Liu Yuanzhen sighed: "It's because I worry about gains and losses and think too much!"
"However, the Japanese country is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. It takes several months to go back and forth. A year is really a little less!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Can the inner government please ask Her Majesty the Queen to extend the period for me? Otherwise, it might take a year to come back and forth, so how can I have time to look for the relics?"
"What you said makes sense!" Liu Yuanzhen nodded: "I will appeal to His Majesty on your behalf, but whether you agree or not is up to Your Majesty, not me. You must be prepared!" Wang Wenzuo said: "That's natural. It’s a kindness for the inner government to open your mouth!” After saying that, he bowed and saluted.
Liu Yuanzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a wry smile: "That's all, you and I are just like grasshoppers on a thread when it comes to the relics. If you are unlucky, I will have to live with it. Don't mention any favors from now on!"
