Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 124 Preparations before the Eastern Expedition (4)

When Li Er heard Li Chengqian's recommendation, his mood immediately improved a little.

In the end, it is my son who is caring and knows how to share his father's worries!The prince is getting more and more sensible, and after a hundred years, I can hand over Datang to him with peace of mind.

"Is there any candidate for the prince, let's talk about it, let all the ministers and staff present here give advice to see if it is feasible!" Li Er laughed.

"The person recommended by the crown prince must have something extraordinary, and he is definitely not a mediocre generation."

"I don't know what kind of person with extraordinary ability can be favored by the prince."

"Yes! Yes! Please speak quickly, His Highness the Crown Prince, so that I can have a glimpse of this man's demeanor."

As soon as Li Er finished speaking, a group of ministers immediately flattered the prince.

Li Er was unhappy in his heart, but kept his expression on his face. He wanted to see how his crown prince would behave.

Li Chengqian frowned, showing disgust on his face, he had a deep hatred for these guys who flattered people in public!
Doing this in front of Li Er is not giving eye drops to the prince!Will Li Er be happy to hear that?
After Li Er saw a trace of disgust on Li Chengqian's face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, somewhat satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.

Although Li Chengqian didn't say anything, in Li Er's view, the prince's performance just now proved that he didn't like flattering people just like himself.

I just don't know if he can follow advice like himself.

"My minister recommended Cen Wenwen, the Minister of Zhongshu, as the logistics manager, and I believe that Cen Wenwen will be able to take on this important task!" Li Chengqian said.

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, there was an uproar in the hearts of everyone present, and their faces were stunned!
They never thought that Li Chengqian would elect Cen Wenwen as the manager of the logistics management.

This was something that no one expected. Even Cen Wenwen himself stood there blankly, staring at Li Chengqian in astonishment.

Cen Wenwen was really surprised that Li Chengqian would recommend him to Li Er.

No wonder everyone was so surprised!

Cen Wenwen originally belonged to the camp of King Wei and Li Tai, and together with Liu Ji and Wei Ting, they were called the Big Three in the camp of King Wei.

It is the middle force that supports Li Tai's seizure of the throne, and it is the deadly enemy of the East Palace camp headed by the prince.

Since Li Tai was abolished, only Cen Wenwen was left among the former Big Three. Although he was not implicated in Li Tai's incident, he also received a lot of neglect.

The emperor is no longer the same as before, he will always ask Cen Wenwen about something and listen to his opinion!Cen Wenwen has already begun to be marginalized.

It is only a matter of time before he goes to the government and returns home. It would be nice to get a good death!
Cen Wenwen can be said to be the remnant of Li Tai's best friend, it would be nice if Donggong didn't take the opportunity to make trouble!Why would you recommend Cen Wenwen so kindly?

"Prince! Why do you recommend Cen Wenwen? Isn't Xu Jingzong from the East Palace also suitable? Why don't you recommend your officials from the East Palace?" Li Er asked.

He was worried that Li Chengqian did this because Cen Wenwen supported Li Tai's seizure of the heirloom at the beginning, and made it a means of retaliation.

On the surface, disregarding previous suspicions, recommending Cen Wenwen, who is capable of internal affairs to the emperor, is actually planning to frame Cen Wenwen by playing tricks on the grain and grass at that time.

Once something goes wrong with the food, can he spare Cen Wenwen, who is in charge of the entire logistics?

The answer can be imagined!

If Chengqian was really playing tricks in the dark because of old grievances, causing problems with the grain, grass, equipment, etc. of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, then he could only reconsider the issue of the prince.

A narrow-minded person is not worthy of being the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty is handed over to him, it will not be the second Sui Dynasty.

Not only did Li Er have this idea, but the ministers above the hall were maliciously speculating about Li Chengqian's behavior.

Who made our prince!In the past, he was so stubborn that he even sent assassins to assassinate his teacher and his younger brother Li Tai.

There is still something that can't be done, and I have endured it for so long, and now I don't take the opportunity to kill me.

These people are really despicable!
"Father! My son thinks that Xu Jingzong is not as good as Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen in terms of talent and ability, as well as experience and experience."

"The selection of Cen Wenwen this time is for the great cause of the Eastern Expedition! As the crown prince, my son should share the worries of the father!"

"How can my son recommend people around me at will because Xu Jingzong is an official of the East Palace, regardless of righteousness." Li Chengqian said.

To be honest, Li Chengqian didn't think as much as these people at this time. After all, Xu Jingzong was still young and lacked experience in many aspects.

Let him practice slowly, and within a few years, he will surely reach the same height as Cen Wenwen.

Now it is not appropriate to push him to such a high position all of a sudden, if something goes wrong, it will not be him, Prince Li Chengqian, who is unlucky.

Who told Xu Jingzong to be a member of his East Palace, if Xu Jingzong made a mistake in managing logistics, then he, the crown prince, would be guilty of negligence.

This is a consideration of Li Chengqian.

As for why Cen Wenwen was elected as the logistics manager, it was because Cen Wenwen in history followed Li Erdong in his expedition.

Li Er handed everything over to Cen Wenwen, and Cen Wenwen personally took care of every detail, but because of the heavy workload, he fell ill and died on the way to the Eastern Expedition.

In the end, Li Er really had no way to temporarily find someone to replace Cen Wenwen, so he had to call Xu Jingzong, the right concubine who became Li Zhi at that time, to fill in the vacancy of Cen Wenwen.

This is also the reason why Li Chengqian recommended Cen Wenwen. Anyway, Cen Wenwen can't escape. Since he can't escape, it's better to let Li Chengqian recommend him.

"Is this true?" Li Er repeatedly confirmed.

"Everything my son said is true!" Li Chengqian said.

He is not afraid of the shadow slanting!

There are really no such people who are unbearable.

"Cen Aiqing, I don't know what you think?" Li Er was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's answer, he really did not misunderstand the prince, Li Er turned around and asked Cen Wenwen.

"I am willing to take up the post of logistics manager to share your majesty's worries! Thank you, your majesty!" Cen Wenwen turned to salute Li Chengqian after leaving the shift and said, "Thank you for the recommendation, the prince!"

Cen Wenwen took this position because he had a good relationship with the prince, and he was recommended to the emperor by the prince anyway.

Being able to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the prince will be of great benefit in the future.

"You don't need to be too polite! I just think about the country and society of the Great Tang, not my personal feelings. The Minister of Zhongshu is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. I should recommend it." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness has a broad mind, which I admire!" Cen Wenwen saluted again.

"Okay!" Li Er smiled.

Li Chengqian was able to accept Cen Wenwen regardless of past suspicions, which made Li Er most satisfied, and he had the same mind to accept Li Jiancheng's old department.
