save the bachelors

Chapter 2775 2777 [Marquis of Zhenbei]

He was not canonized as the crown prince, Xiang Nan was not very sad, but knew that his chance had come.

He then left a message to Chai Mu, asking him to send someone to keep an eye on Li Feng.

Because Li Feng had just been transferred from the military department to the household department, and this matter was not easy.

Li Feng is a servant in the Ministry of War, and he has made military exploits in Danchi, so it stands to reason that it is possible to get promoted one step higher.

But he asked himself to be transferred to the household department to do a small job.

Demean yourself.If there is nothing tricky in it, ghosts will believe it.

Xiang Nan already knew that the reason why Li Feng was transferred to the household department was mainly to get money for Li Chengye.

Li Chengye spent money to win over veterans, train dead men, and support the world, and it was not a small amount of money.

But with his crown prince's salary, it is naturally stretched to do these things.

Therefore, he sent his idea to the household department.Transferring Li Feng to the household department was just an opportunity to make money.

Just like during the Kangxi period, Kowloon seized the throne.

The crown prince, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, and the tenth prince have all recruited disciples wantonly, supported corrupt officials to search for money, and used it to seize their heirs.

……

Xiang Nan then went to meet Gao Ming again.

"Uncle, recently the rest of Danchi's party has caused chaos in the western region. Father intends to choose a capable officer in the court to lead the army to guard Danchi." He smiled and said to Gao Ming, "I think Uncle Gao Xian He has been stationed in the western region for many years, and with his prestige in the western region, he will surely subdue Dan Chi's remnant party, and in the court tomorrow, I will strongly recommend Cousin Gao Xian to my father."

Gao Ming smiled slightly, "Actually, it doesn't matter who guards Dan Chi, the important thing is that King Yi must not go!"

Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you, Uncle, for reminding me."

If he became Marquis of Zhenbei and left the power center of the capital, it would not be easy for him to come back in the future.

The Zhenbeihou guarding one side looks like an emperor, but in fact the power still comes from above.

Once Li Yu died of illness and Li Chengye succeeded to the throne, with a flimsy imperial decree, he, the Northern Marquis of Zhenzhen, could be deported to Beijing and sent to prison for execution.

Even if he rebelled, at that time, as the prince of the rich dynasty, he would be able to mobilize as many people from the western region as possible, and how many victories would he be able to fight against the army of the rich dynasty.

In history, although the Xiongnu, Turks, Uyghurs, Xianbei, Tubo, Khitan, Rouran, Shatuo, etc. repeatedly violated the frontiers, very few were able to occupy the Central Plains.Most are quick wins and then quickly kicked out.

Therefore, even without Gaoming's reminder, Xiang Nan would not be the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"King Yi is a smart man. Now that the position of the crown prince has been determined, only wise and wise people can protect themselves and stay dormant, so that they can accumulate a lot of money." Gao Ming said again.

Xiang Nan nodded.

……

Afterwards, Gao Kun told Xiang Nan about Li Feng.

"Yi Wang, recently Li Feng applied for a batch of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs to repair and cast the bronze statue of Wanfo Temple. I think this matter is a bit strange." He said.

"Isn't this repairing and casting of bronze statues an errand for your household department? Why did he, Li Feng, intervene?" Xiang Nanqi asked.

However, he knew clearly that the reason why Li Feng intervened in the casting of the Buddha was because he wanted money for the casting of the Buddha.

"Some time ago, Li Wei transferred to the Ministry of Households for King Zhong's face. As soon as he entered the Ministry of Households, King Zhong established friendship with me and asked me to hand over the supervision of casting bronze statues to Li Feng. As a member of the royal family and an elder, I personally come to visit, how can I... how can I not agree?" Gao Kun explained.

"Then according to the second cousin's opinion, Li Feng will be in it, what is he going to do?" Xiang Nan asked.

"As the Secretary of the Household Department, although I have doubts, it is inconvenient for my own people to check my identity. Why don't King Yi check it out and see what Li Feng wants to do?" Gao Kun prevaricated.

Xiang Nan knew that he was deliberately ignoring himself.

In fact, in Gao Kun's capacity as Minister of the Household Department, it is a legitimate thing to check Li Feng, a head of the Household Department.But he pushed the matter to himself.

Xiang Nan knew that he had two goals.

One is to test yourself.After all, he is going to be a prince in the future, so it is not enough if he is not capable enough;
The second is to get rid of himself.Gao Xiang and Zhong Wang are enemies, because he is going to investigate, it seems to be deliberately framed, using party disputes to eliminate dissidents.

This will arouse the emperor's fear, but asking Xiang Nan to investigate will not.

"Cheng Yin knows." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

Turn around, and go to court to discuss politics.

"In the Battle of Danchi, Tiedar was beheaded, but in the past few months, there have been constant disputes among the nobles, and there are often bandits harassing the borders of the three countries of Fengchao, Shuobo, and Xizhou.

I have decided to choose a person who is familiar with the topography of the western region, understands the local customs and customs, and can lead the army in my court, and make him the Marquis of Zhenbei to govern Danchi. Do you have any recommendations for a candidate? "Li Xi said.

When Xiang Nan heard this, his spirit froze.

Knowing that the emperor actually wanted him to guard Danchi.

He had found King Danchi's account before, so he was obviously familiar with the topography of the Western Territory.Moreover, leading troops to contribute to King Danchi's tent and capturing King Tiedar alive is obviously a man who knows how to fight.

"Father, my son recommended Zhenyuan General Gao Xian. General Gao has guarded the Northwest for many years, and he has a good understanding of the situation, military strength, and people's sentiments in the Northwest. If you want to rule Danchi, there is no more suitable candidate than General Gao." Xiang Nan got up immediately and acted aggressively first.

"His Royal Highness Yi Wang really does not avoid relatives! General Gao Xiangao's Anhu Mansion has already ruled the entire Western Territory. If he is allowed to take over Dan Chi again, how is it different from being crowned king directly?!" Falling, Li Feng, the son of the loyal king, said in a strange way.

"My lord Li's words may be biased. Your Majesty only recommends the virtuous, and uses only the talents. General Gao has guarded the Western Territory these years, and he has quelled foreign aggressions many times, and made great achievements in battle! General Gao!" Ye Chengye, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Gao Xiang's party, said.

"Master Ye's words are too arbitrary, isn't it? The rich dynasty is a huge country with a wealth of talents. Only in this court, there are no fewer than dozens of people who are skilled in literature, martial arts, and good at leading soldiers. If you want to promote talents, you must be fair!" Zong Huan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, retorted.

"If you talk about those who are good at leading troops, the loyal king is second to none!" Some courtiers from the loyal king's party said.

"General Gao Xian made great contributions in the battle against Danchi, so he deserves to take on this important task!" Someone from Gao Xiang's party said again.

"Because of this, General Gao defeated Dan Chi, and then went to govern Dan Chi, how could Dan Chi be convinced!" Another member of the Zhongwang Party retorted.

Xiang Nan observed carefully and memorized them one by one.

These courtiers who are loyal to the king and high-ranking ministers must all be eliminated when he comes to power in the future.

……

"Why are you arguing? Tell them one by one!" Seeing that they were arguing together, Emperor Li Zhen immediately slapped Gentian angrily, and shouted loudly.

For a moment, all four were quiet, and there was no sound.

"Your Majesty, I recommend King Yi!" At this moment, Li Feng suddenly stood up and said.

When Xiang Nan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
