An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Yuan Zhuo and Eunuch Feng, who were on both sides, looked at Lu Wenyu kneeling on the ground in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

What does "not easy to use" mean? Could it be that that person has evil intentions? Or too much appetite?

"Get up and tell me why this person is useful and why he is not useful?" Yuan Zhuo became interested and asked curiously.

Lu Wenyu stood up obediently but did not sit down. Instead, he stood and pondered for a moment before replying, "The reason why I said this person is available is because he has a calm mind and works in an orderly manner. He is neither greedy for success nor hesitant." , he is well-organized and can handle everything big and small, so he can be said to be useful.”

Yuan Zhuo was a little surprised, because Lu Wenyu had been in a high position for many years, who hadn't seen him before? He actually has such a high opinion of a boy.

At this time, even Yuan Zhuo became interested and asked enthusiastically, "Oh? It's rare to hear Wen Yu speak so highly of a person. Tell me why it's not useful."

"Sit down and say, sit down and say, my eldest companion is also sitting, let's listen carefully to find out what's so special about this person.

As Yuan Zhuo waved his hand gently, Lu Wenyu nodded slowly and sat down. The charcoal fire on the heating bench under my buttocks is not big, but it is very warm.

Feeling the warmth of sitting down, Lu Wenyu organized his words and said, "I said this person is not easy to use because he acts without scruples, and can even be said to be unscrupulous. I wonder if your majesty still remembers the murder of Lord Marquis. In the murder case, the prince-in-law was imprisoned and later lost half his life."

"Is there such a thing? I don't know." Yuan Zhuo crossed his hands and thought back.

Next to him, Eunuch Feng hurriedly reminded, "Master, it happened when the Marquis and the Duke entered the palace."

"Oh...I remembered it. Is this person the one who did the Prince Consort incident?"

"It's indeed him." Lu Wenyu replied. After a moment of silence, he then explained, "It was because the consort had offended him."

"This person also handled the imperial envoy case in Jiangnan at the beginning of the year."

Yuan Zhuo nodded and smiled, "This person really doesn't follow any official rules. Hahaha, interesting, really interesting..."

"It seems that this person is really someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. But now this kind of person is the person we need. He can do a lot of troublesome things."

"Yes." Lu Wenyu sighed. In his heart, Zhao was still useful, but he had to give him enough money. As long as the price is high enough, Zhao can still do things with confidence.

After settling Zhao Jiu's matter and setting the tone for Zhao Jiu, the three of them fell into a brief silence. Lu Wenyu came to the palace just to explain what was in the letter. Now that Yuan Zhuo had made up his mind, he didn't need to explain anything anymore.

Yuan Zhuo, on the other hand, was thinking about what to do next. The season was not right and he could not send troops. It must be stable, reduce the impact of the incident, and at the same time attract the attention of the barbarians. Only after the beginning of spring can we send out troops suddenly to catch the opponent by surprise.

"What should we do next? Wenyu, tell us what you think."

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to stay still than to move. No matter what, we have to wait until the weather gets warmer. Now that it is freezing and snowy outside the pass, it is really not a good time to send troops."

Lu Wenyu's words can be said to have reached Yuan Zhuo's heart. Of course he must delay, but the question is, how to delay? The Hu people are not idiots. If they want to show no flaws, they must make a big fuss!

Yuan Zhuo, who was pacing, was distracted and had no clue about any of this. There hasn't been much movement in the Jiangnan Imperial Envoy case. Is it possible that another case bigger than the murder of the Imperial Envoy will be revealed?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, so I simply asked directly, "How should I calm down? If I don't do anything, the barbarians will be able to see some clues sooner or later..."

"I have a plan."

"Speak quickly and let me listen!" Yuan Zhuo said eagerly.

Lu Wenyu, who was sitting on the warm bench, knelt down with his hands folded, kowtowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect, otherwise I would not dare to say anything."

"Okay, okay. Wenyu, get up quickly. I forgive you for not being guilty of anything you say. Let's talk about it! Before military and national affairs, we must first consider the people of the world!"

Yuan Zhuo's words are the bottom line, meaning that no matter what, nothing can force the people to rebel. Civilian stability must be maintained, which is the basis for waging war.

Of course Lu Wenyu understood the meaning, but he still knelt down and could not get up, saying, "It has nothing to do with the people, it only concerns the royal family's face."

"Okay, as long as the world is peaceful, I can issue an edict to punish myself!"

After receiving Yuan Zhuo's assurance, Lu Wenyu stood up and said in a deep voice, "As long as we thoroughly investigate the assassination and the prince's rebellion, we will definitely be able to attract the attention of the barbarians, delay the dispatch of troops, and even save the money needed to dispatch troops."

"You mean, it looks like it's to investigate assassinations and treason, but it's actually to purge everyone?" Yuan Zhuo is not a fool. How could he not understand the meaning of Lu Wenyu's words?

Great idea! What a brilliant idea! In this way, the superiors can be united and there will be no different voices, and it can also stabilize the Hu people, making them think that they will not send troops, and even stabilize the people of the world.

It is indeed a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Lu Wenyu knelt down and kowtowed.

Even Eunuch Feng, who had been silent until now, immediately flattered him, "There is no sage like a master."

Listening to the two people's flattery, Yuan Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little carried away, and said with a curved smile, "Who do you think should be handed over to handle this matter?"

"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Lu Wenyu replied softly as soon as he sat down.

"You mean, that Zhao..."

Eunuch Feng reminded in a low voice, "Zhao Muzhi."

"Yes, yes, shepherd it, shepherd it." After being reminded, Yuan Zhuo finally remembered it. After repeating it several times, he finally remembered it.

After much deliberation, this Zhao Muzhi is really a perfect candidate. Firstly, he has a clean family background, clear details and is obedient; secondly, this person happens to be from Jin Yiwei, and it turns out that he is just and righteous, so he is not easily suspected; thirdly, this person does things unscrupulously. , just in time to deal with the tough and difficult things.

"Okay, let him do it!" Yuan Zhuo made the final decision and made a decisive decision.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he asked, "I remember that the Zhenfu Envoy was from the fourth rank, right?"

Without Lu Wenyu having to say anything, Eunuch Feng next to him immediately replied, "Master, I am from the fourth rank."

After some consideration, Yuan Zhuo told Feng Gonggong, "The fourth grade is not enough, and he is too constrained in his work. In this way, he will be promoted to the commanding officer, and he will be awarded the title of General Zhaowu, and he will be given a flying fish uniform and a sword. When he can do more, he will be able to do more." The reason for the imperial envoy is that he has made outstanding achievements in this battle and made a huge contribution."

"Come on, please make a decree."

Eunuch Feng replied, "I will draw up the decree right now."

After speaking, Eunuch Feng walked to the case and studied the ink with drops of water, then spread out the paper to prepare the edict. Lu Wenyu stood up and begged, "I have one more request."

Yuan Zhuo was in a good mood, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Say."

"I kindly ask Your Majesty to pretend to be ill for two months so that he can act more effectively."

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, I will be sick for him for two months. But Wenyu, you and your companion must be in the middle and control the situation. Don't be careless. All matters, big or small, must be reported to me."

"Yes, I understand."

"Return to the master, this slave understands."

Lu Wenyu and Eunuch Feng replied at the same time.

After looking at the table, Yuan Zhuo walked to the altar with his hands behind his back, giving instructions as he walked.

"After the edict has been drawn up and it's time to put it under my seal, go ahead and announce it. Don't waste time."

Then he joked with a relaxed smile.

"I'm sick so I should rest. From today on, no one will be seen!"

"Go ahead."
