Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 140 Everyone wants to be this official (1)

Since the failure of the method of recruiting soldiers, Li Ke, who had been exhorted by Cen Wenwen, never left the palace of the king of Shu. He burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day to cultivate himself.

However, because the imperial court wanted to discuss the candidate for General Zuowei, various forces also ran around one after another, trying to find connections with each other, and they used endless methods, which made people dazzled.

"Your Highness, do you know why His Majesty lifted your military authority in the Right Tunwei? It's because His Majesty knew that the mastermind behind the recruiting method was Your Highness."

Cen Wenwen slowly dropped the chess piece in his hand, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Losing the right to guard the right station means that Li Ke's own power in the sixteen guards has been severely hit, which is fatal to Li Ke, who is already weak.

"Teacher, Xiao Wang understands that my father is warning me. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to take the prince out of the water, but who would have thought that he would not hit the fox and make himself so flirtatious."

Li Ke didn't expect that Li Chengqian, who had always been responsive to the people below, would reject their request so much.

That old fellow Li Jing is also useless, after this incident, his power in the army was completely dismantled by the emperor, how could he be so weak.

"Your Highness, when I heard you talking about military power, the general remembered something. Since the method of recruiting soldiers failed, the government soldiers were dismissed, and the military power of the sixteen guards has increased. Among the many generals in command, The number of left-back generals is the most important.

I heard that His Majesty will discuss the candidate with the important ministers in the Chengqing Hall in the next few days. Look at this matter, should we make a good plan. "

Chai Zhewei said this out of both public and private considerations, one for Li Ke, and the other for his own father.

Chai Shao turned out to be the inspector general of the left guard, and that was a nominal job.After the government soldiers were disbanded, it was equivalent to having no position, so that the son-in-law could not go up or down, which was extremely embarrassing.

"That's right, Your Highness, even if it's for the two adults, Chai and Xue, we must fight for this military power. No matter who of them holds this power, it will be good for us."

After thinking about it, Quan Wanji, who was standing aside, also offered to help.In his opinion, he had just lost the military power of the Right Tunwei. If he hadn't quickly continued at this point, it would be difficult for those in the Sixteenth Guards to develop their power in the future.

"Competition, then what are you arguing with others? Li Jing and Hou Junji have taken up civil positions, and Qin Qiong is recuperating from his illness. Among the generals in the Northern Expedition, Li Ji has contributed the most. Let me ask who can compete with Li Ji."

Speaking of Liu Yu's anger, I'm not going to get angry at all. Although they made some achievements in the Northern Expedition, their luck was not good, and those little-known people got the limelight, such as Dugumou of Tonghan Army.

"If you don't fight, you have to fight. Who is Li Ji? He has a close relationship with Changsun Wuji. From the root, he is the prince's man. Now Wei Wang's confidant Zhang Liang has accepted the general of the right guard. If the left guard General, if you give it to someone else, what do you think we have left?"

Although he knew that Liu Yu was telling the truth, Chai Zhewei didn't want to let go of this opportunity.After this battle, the imperial court did not have the energy to launch another major war in a short period of time.

In this way, once the left guard general is decided, there will be no change in the next few years.If this will not catch up, then no matter whether it is against the King of Shu or his own father, he will not even think about turning over in a few years.

"Sir, you have an idea." Li Ke, who had been meditating, also became anxious, urging Cen Wenwen from the side.

"Ask the old man's idea? Then call all the people who can be called, and let them recommend Li Ji together. In this way, His Highness's wish will be fulfilled."

Cen Wenwen continued to stare at the chessboard with an old look regardless of everyone's astonishment.

"Sir, what do you mean by that?" Cen Wenwen's words confused Chai Zhewei, and recommending Li Ji was not in vain for him, but there was no benefit to be seen from that.

"You don't understand what the teacher means. Use your brains to think about it, can we win such an important position?
In the current structure of the imperial court, our power is the weakest. Whether it is the prince or the king of Wei, their power is much stronger than ours.If we insist on pushing our own people, no matter their side, they will crowd out the people we recommend. "

Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Ke with admiration, but he is the blood of the royal family of the two dynasties, and he can understand it at one point. This kind of intelligence is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"If we push Li Ji, wouldn't that mean we've withdrawn from the competition? Could it be that we just let the King of Wei and the crown prince surrender such an important position as General Zuowei?"

Seeing that Chai Zhewei still didn't understand, Li Ke looked at him with pitiful eyes. This cousin of his didn't inherit the wisdom of his aunt.

Immediately, he picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the board, and said leisurely: "The husband is the only one who does not compete, so the world cannot compete with it." After speaking, he looked at Cen Wenwen with a smile on his face.

"This is a wonderful move." Hearing this, Quan Wanji's eyes suddenly brightened. Isn't the reason why the prince can get such favor from the emperor is that he fights for nothing?

"Why didn't I see that this was a wonderful move?"

"Zhewei, don't say any more, go back and tell your father, and just follow the orders of His Highness and Sir." Quan Wanji urged the bewildered Chai Zhewei.

The conversation was divided into two parts, also in order to fight for the left guard general, Zhang Liang also hurriedly found Li Tai.

He knew the importance of this position too well. If he could be recruited, the Wei Wang family, who had always put emphasis on literature, would gain a firm foothold in the army and would no longer be subject to the Eastern Palace.

"Your Highness, I heard that the imperial court has made a decision. The candidate for General Zuowei will be discussed in the Chengqing Palace in the next two days. Can you ask Your Highness to let Lord Yan and Lord Xiao speak for you? Reassigned as General of the Left Guard."

Zhang Liang's appetite is not small, and he is not satisfied with being the right guard general. You must know how many people are jealous of his position. If there is no such thing as the generals in the army wanting to engage in recruiting methods, this position can still be rotated. It's weird for people in my department.

"Duke Yun, you must be content with yourself. You, the General of the Right Guard, have done a good job and are in charge of so many troops. Why do you suddenly want to be the General of the Left Guard again?

As the saying goes, those who are in their early years will be the first to rot. If you are a son, don't be the boss, and if you are an official, don't be a full-time job.Look at that big brother of mine, what's the bad luck? He didn't pick the head first, and it's not sure whether he can get a good one when he turns around. "

There was a reason for Li Tai to say this. Since Li Chengqian refused the following request, many generals who were close to Li Jing have alienated him, thinking that he would not save him, ignoring his fellowship.

Although it relieved his father's worries, the blow to himself was not small.The officials of the East Palace Department are also acting with their tails between their legs these days. When many colleagues look at them, they will think that they are dead friends and poor people.
