Hearing the word "Xu Ke" from Cheng Jing's mouth, Wei Ci was stunned, with a slightly surprised expression.

"How did the senior brother ......?"

Wei Ci rarely used the title of his youth, Cheng Jing was older than Wei Ci, and he took care of him when he was studying, and he used to call each other "senior brother" before. But later, when I grew up, the close relationship between teachers and brothers also turned to gentlemanly friendship, so I called him by words.

Cheng Jing asked Wei Ci rhetorically, "Do you think it's hard to guess? Or do you want to know why I guessed that the person in your mouth is 'Xu Ke'? Zixiao, don't you think that Jiang Jun has all the ministers, but Xu Ke is the only one who is out of step with everyone? He is more special than Qi Guanrang. ”

Wei Ci was silent for a while.

"Senior brother, can you talk about it...... What is so special about him?"

Cheng Jing got up and looked around, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, he cautiously sat back down.

"Among Jiang Jun's important ministers, the three of them are from the lowest backgrounds - Zixiao, and they don't despise their origins as brothers, but this is an indisputable fact - Yang Si, Qi Guanrang, and Xu Ke. Among these three people, Yang Si is regarded as the adopted son of the master, and the master has worked hard for his studies and enlightenment, but it is an indisputable fact that his mother was born into a prostitute family; not to mention the fact that he was born to a girl from the border of Dongqing forced by foreign horse bandits in northern Xinjiang, a mixed-race race, not recognized by the two races, and his background was also dishonorable, and he has been criticized for many years. ”

What Cheng Jing said is the truth, and it is also the content that Yang Si and Qi Guan put on their lips to hate others the most.

“…… The third person, Xu Ke ...... "Speaking of Xu Ke, Cheng Jing paused, compared to Yang Si and Qi Guanrang, Xu Ke's sense of existence is almost zero, and only occasionally attracts the attention of the outside world, "Xu Ke offended the nobles of the scholar clan at a young age, although the original intention of killing was because of filial piety, but this could not hide the fact that he was punished and exiled. Even if Jiang Jun was later released from his lowly status and returned to his good status, the obvious imprint of punishment on his face could not be concealed. But whoever has seen him will know what kind of origin he is......"

After saying so much, Cheng Jing was a little thirsty, and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

In terms of birth and status, these three people are also comparable. ”

Wei Ci said, "The lord has always paid no attention to his background, only his ability and morality. ”

Cheng Jing also nodded in agreement, "Yes, after so many years, she has indeed implemented this point very well, and she has never been a little selfish." But--here's the question, Jiang Jun really hasn't been partial all these years? Zixiao, ask yourself, if you ask this, you won't be able to answer it, right? Has Jiang Jun ever been biased? As far as Xu Ke is concerned, she is afraid that she is the most selfish person. ”

Wei Ci turned cold when he heard this, and pursed his lips and did not answer.

Cheng Jing said, "Xu Ke, Qi Guanrang, Yang Si, except for Yang Si, the other two are all familiar to Jiang Jun when he was young. Not to mention Xu Ke, he is not only the first person to meet Jiang Jun, but also the scholar of Jiang Jun's youth, and the housekeeper entrusted with important tasks. If Jiang Jun was just an ordinary nobleman, Xu Ke would give her a housekeeper and account office, and he would not treat him badly if he took care of the whole house. But Jiang Jun is not an ordinary noble son of the noble family, she has gone from the end of the world to the present, and she is only close to ascending to the pole to be the future emperor of the world. ”

Cheng Jing has been looking at the world from the perspective of a bystander all these years, and at the same time observing Jiang Pengji, these courtiers.

Observing and observing, he discovered Xu Ke, an outlier.

In terms of friendship, no one can compare to his young friendship with Jiang Pengji.

In terms of talent, Xu Ke has taken care of the rear for Jiang Pengji for so many years, and he has worked hard.

In terms of reputation, he is the lowest among the important ministers.

"Since Yang Si followed Jiang Jun, he must come out in battle, and there are few times when he sits in the rear. At that time, Jiang Jun was not yet developed, so she handed over the extremely important Hu County to Yang Si, ordered him to train the army, and presided over all the affairs of the Hu County. Later, he also gave him power and let him deal with the Xu brothers. After that, Yang Sishi's career was smoother and he made great achievements. Relying on these military exploits, who would dare to belittle his background in front of Yang Si? Not to mention the official Jean, the glorious record is better than Yang Si's, the first battle of Zhongzhao is really beautiful, both meritorious and trusted, and now there are still people who dare to say in front of him how his background is?"

Cheng Jing's words are not unreasonable.

If you look closely, you will find that Jiang Pengji is really good at dealing with the courtiers from the poor family. This is not how to favor them, let alone indistinguishable between right and wrong--in fact, Jiang Pengji is the most just and fair among the princes Cheng Jing has seen--but can this be said that she is not partial? Naturally not, her partiality lies in the fact that she will give these people the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and let them speak with facts. As long as you have made meritorious contributions, you will not be overrewarded. With merit and reward, the weight of status has risen.

In comparison, the courtiers from the scholar clan were slightly weaker.

Of course, you can't see it if you don't look closely.

Even if they found out, Yang Si and they spoke with strength, and they didn't rely on nepotism to get to power, so there was nothing to criticize.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, it is almost the same.

Among the generals, Li Yun, Fu Wang, Dian Yin, Jiang Rongqin, Meng Hun ...... These people are not from a high background, but they have quite a lot of opportunities to lead the troops in the united front, and their own strength is excellent, and it is not difficult to accumulate military exploits. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are too few generals under Jiang Pengji's account. Even if Yang Tao's old department was absorbed in the later stage, there were not many remaining battles, and the prestige still couldn't surpass these few.

Everyone is like this, but Xu Ke is an exception.

is so conspicuous, it is difficult for Cheng Jing not to pay attention to him.

"Xu Ke and Jiang Jun met at a young age, not only have the friendship of master and servant, but also the friendship of youth, it stands to reason that they should be the most sacred. Cheng Jing deliberately used the word "sacred heart", and in his bones he also recognized the fact that Jiang Pengji would ascend to the pole in the future, "However, the status he has is inconsistent with his reputation." said that he had lost his sacred heart and trust, but Jiang Jun handed over all the big and small matters in the rear to him, almost risking his life, who dares to say that this is not trust? But how can she trust Xu Ke, but not really...... No matter how good Xu Ke is at internal affairs, he doesn't only take care of internal affairs and doesn't know anything about military affairs, he doesn't seem to have touched military power once. ”

If you want to say that he is good at it, Wei Ci is also good at internal affairs, but he follows the army every year, either running to this battlefield or running to that battlefield.

While controlling military power, it did not prevent him from managing government affairs, almost a two-pronged approach.

Xu Ke, right......

Cheng Jing also secretly tried that people are not ignorant of military affairs -- if this is the case, how can this goods remember to live in thousands of granaries everywhere, remember the road veins between various granaries, and be able to make adjustments in the shortest possible time and safely transport grain and grass to the front line as quickly as possible? This ability, Cheng Jing thinks that he is not as good as Xu Ke, and he is not weak in military dispatch, and he can even be proud of most people.
