Han Shizu

Chapter 170
"Master, Wang Jingchong, Minister of the Ministry of War, please see me!"

The voice of the steward in the mansion interrupted Yang Bin's gradually flowing thoughts.Hearing the words, the first reaction was impatience. Looking outside the hall, the mist was deep and vast, and he couldn't help being a little puzzled: "This person came to visit at night, what is the matter?"

"Master, Wang Shilang came from the side door, and his whereabouts are secret." The steward added.

"It's so secretive!" Yang Bin muttered, and casually ordered: "Lead him to the side hall and wait, I'll see him later!"

"Yes!"

From Yang Bin's tone and attitude, it can be seen that he doesn't think highly of Wang Jingchong, and even despises him a bit.

The side hall of Yang's mansion is a little small, and Wang Jingchong didn't feel any annoyance as he couldn't even enter the main hall for this visit. After all, he didn't come to pay his respects through the gate.

Wang Jingchong was dressed very neatly. His robe was thin, and he didn't seem afraid of the cold. His buttocks were slightly pouted, sticking to the half of the chair, his body was tense, and he looked very cautious.

Although he was calm, his small eyes revealed the cold gaze of a wolf.In the battle against Du, Wang Jingchong used the waterway to transport the envoys, and he did some hard work. After returning to the court, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he had no real power and was still a false title.For Wang Jingchong, who is interested in Xiang Xiang, it is absolutely unbearable to continue doing nothing.

After waiting for half an hour, the tea was weak and his hands and feet were cold, Yang Bin finally appeared.Although his hands and feet were numb, the moment Yang Bin appeared, he stood up very quickly and greeted him: "Your Majesty has seen the Prime Minister."

"Excuse me, I kept you waiting!" Yang Bin's tone was not apologetic.

But Wang Jingchong obviously didn't care, and there was a humble smile on the corner of his mouth: "Private Prime Minister takes care of everything every day, and the lower officials take the liberty to visit, it's really disturbing, and I'm really disturbed."

The lower Wang Jingchong lowered his posture, the more contempt Yang Bin felt in his heart. He frowned slightly, sat down and asked directly: "There is no need to say more compliments. What's the matter, please come late at night to see the truth?"

Yang Bin didn't give instructions, and Wang Jingchong didn't dare to sit down, so he just stood there with a slavish look on his face, and said cautiously: "The chaos in Guanzhong and Shu, the imperial court wants to send troops. The lower officials heard that the army has been selected, but the prince has not yet been elected. Your Highness intends to make a decision on the chief general tomorrow."

"There is such a thing!" Yang Bin nodded, his expression became more and more serious, and he glanced at Wang Jingchong: "You, what do you seem to be thinking?"

Regarding the issue of sending troops to Guanzhong, it was delayed for a few more days amidst some controversy, probably because the Guanyou side was still stable, and the Shu army hadn't made any breakthroughs, so the matter of discussing troops was delayed again and again.

Shi Hongzhao wanted to use Bai Zairong as a general, the former Qizhou defense envoy, who was pushed to the end by Liu Chengyou for harming the army and the people.After he arrived in Tokyo, he took refuge in Shi Hongzhao, and he really saw Shi Hongzhao right, and was taken in by the Imperial Army and became Marquis of the Wujie Army.

Of course, the purpose of Shi Hongzhao sending Bai Zarong was to protect his younger brother Shi Honglang.His suggestion, that Bai Zairong, Shi Honglang's vice-president, was entirely intended to give his brother his qualifications.
On the other hand, Yang Bin strongly recommended that all the scattered members know Zhen Yanqi. This was one of the few generals he had placed in the imperial army, which was directly exposed.

Even, Jixiang Wangzhang recommended Taiwei Bai Wenke.Bai Gong is not only a hero in Kai Han, but also Wang Zhang's father-in-law, but it is a little more reasonable, that is, he is too old.

Several people were too selfish, and Guo Wei, who was ordered to resolve the matter as soon as possible, was very angry. The "honest" people were all angry. One can imagine how annoying the rivalry was.It was still Liu Chengyou who couldn't bear it, and gave a limited time limit, the general will be set tomorrow, and the army will be dispatched the next day. It was that strong attitude that made Yang Bin confront him head-on once.

At this time, noticing Yang Bin's expression, Wang Jingchong's flattering expression became more intense, and he smiled sarcastically: "Prince Shu thinks, how about going to Guanzhong to lead the army?"

"Huh?" Listening to what he said, Yang Bin looked at Wang Jingchong unexpectedly, but seeing his respectful appearance, he couldn't help mocking: "You must have heard about the disputes in the military discussion. You think you can be a commander in chief." bit?"

"The lower official has self-knowledge, so naturally he doesn't have such extravagant hopes, he just wants to be a general with the army!" Wang Jingchong bent even lower.

Hearing this, Yang Bin fell silent, and glanced at him, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Wang Jingchong continued flatteringly: "The war in the west is in chaos, and it is time to use force. I am willing to serve as the prime minister."

This sentence made Yang Bin's complexion change, and he stared at him for a while with stern eyes, only to see Wang Jingchong bowed his head, still very respectful to himself.

After thinking for a while, Yang Bin waved his hand at him: "You go back first. The truth is tomorrow, and I will recommend you to General Guan Zhong!"

"Xie Shuxiang!" Wang Jingchong's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly nodded and bowed to thank him, just like a dog wagging its tail for mercy.

"Let's just bury a pawn in Guanzhong!" After Wang Jingchong left, Yang Bin murmured, but he didn't seem to take it seriously.

Probably it was Wang Jingchong's obedience that made Yang Bin realize that he was still a great man in power, so he felt a little better.After sinking his heart, he began to ponder again, the upcoming change of the big man
On the second day, under the personal auspices of Liu Chengyou, the candidates for the generals for the expedition were determined with great efficiency.Liu Chengyou simply refused to agree to the proposals of Shi, Yang and others, and instead suggested Wang Jun.

Wang Jun has been following Liu Zhiyuan for many years. He has made a lot of efforts before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty. He has enough qualifications, ability, and integrity. He is also trustworthy.

After Liu Chengyou supervised the country during this period, his strength could no longer be restrained. Since the other generation couldn't raise any objection reasons, let him decide.

After the discussion was over, Shi Hongzhao walked away with a dark face. His proposal was completely rejected, so he couldn't be happier.Moreover, he fully understood that on the prince's side, he was really not as popular as Liu Zhiyuan.

A sense of crisis!
As for Yang Bin, it was not much better, he had made a plan in advance, decided to take a step back, not to fight for the position of the chief general, and wanted to make Wang Jingchong the capital prisoner, but was rejected by Liu Chengyou.

Now, what is there to discuss, let the prince decide by himself, what do you want these ministers to do!
In comparison, Wang Zhang's attitude is more peaceful.I don't know when it started, Wang Zhang, who has always worn a pair of pants with Yang Bin, has lost contact with Yang Bin, and is no longer a respondent in the court.

Once Wang Jun is set, it cannot be changed.Faced with the position of general who suddenly fell to his head, Wang Jun was a little excited and grateful in addition to being surprised. At this time, Wang Jun was very dedicated to commanding the army to defend against the enemy, eliminate disasters, and stabilize the country. Great performance opportunity.

Together with Guo Wei, they called Li Shu, the official who was sent by Zhao Kuangzan to Tokyo to report the situation, and discussed the war situation in Guanzhong with Wang Jun.

For Wang Jun, Liu Chengyou only had two advices: First, Fengxiang must not fall into the hands of the Shu army.Second, Hou Yiqi was uncertain, if he procrastinated and looked around, he could act cheaply, don't be afraid of accidents, he came from Tokyo to take care of him.

"Your Highness!" To Liu Chengyou's surprise, taking advantage of his rare free time, Wang Jingchong actually took the initiative to find him, even sneakily.

Bold enough.

"What's the matter?" Liu Chengyou looked at him.

In front of Liu Chengyou, Wang Jingchong was more submissive, but not as flattering as he was in front of Yang Bin.He lowered his eyelids, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with Yang Bin, His Royal Highness, you should be careful!"

In a word, Liu Chengyou was very surprised, his originally relaxed expression immediately darkened, he glanced at him indifferently, looked at him, and various thoughts arose in his mind.

This person has always been Yang Bin's horseman, why did he secretly come to him this time and tell his master's secrets?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou seemed to have thought of something, staring at his respectful look, and said coldly: "Yang Xiangnai is the prime minister who the government and Gu rely on the most. You suddenly found Gu, and you made such inexplicable words. Gu is very suspicious of you." What are your intentions!"

Hearing this, Wang Jingchong's face changed slightly, but he quickly gritted his teeth and fell to his knees: "I dare not speak rashly about the prime minister. If the matter is not important, how would I dare to find His Highness directly."

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou sat down slowly, and said lightly: "I want to hear what's wrong with Yang Xiang."

Liu Chengyou's light words fell into his ears, and Wang Jingchong's tense expression obviously relaxed, and he immediately replied: "Last night, Yang Bingyu summoned the minister to the mansion and told him that he wanted to recommend him as the deputy general of the army. For fear of great changes, let the minister manage Guanzhong for him."

"I was stunned when I heard about it. I really don't know what Yang Bin meant by such an explanation. But I frightened his power and promised to accept it. After returning to the mansion, I couldn't sleep all night. I always felt that there was something in Yang Bin's words, and I dared to let my minister teach him." This is simply a rebellious statement. Today, I really heard that there is a proposal to recommend a minister. The minister is frightened and uncertain, and dare not delay any longer, so I come here to report to His Highness. Yang Bin, I am afraid that I will not be a minister. Your Highness, please be careful!"

After listening to Wang Jingchong's report, Liu Chengyou narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing him. This person's words are quite informative.

Liu Chengyou didn't react in anger or any other extreme way, and said quietly: "You are really courageous. You are not afraid of losing your life if you sue the prime minister for treason?"
