The election of the general of the Southern Expedition is naturally a repetition of the old saying.

This time Zhou Chengan was in Beijing, and what he supported was more supportive, and what he opposed was more and more opposed. From doubting Zhou Chengan's ability at the beginning, to directly staging a personal attack later. The evolution of the matter was so intense that the Yanguan of the Yushitai almost rolled up his sleeves with the people who supported Zhou Chengan.

Of course, it's not that this official is upright, but his party is different.

Emperor Xiaozhao looked very blocked, and couldn't help but hold his head, shouting that his brain hurt. The party Zhou Chengan seems to have foreseen such a scene, and he didn't come at all in the early dynasty.

After the court, Emperor Xiaozhao summoned Zhou Cheng'an to the imperial study.

Emperor Xiaozhao didn't give him any warm-up, retreated left and right, and asked directly:

"What do you think about the election of the Southern Expedition General?"

Zhou Chengan bowed to Emperor Xiaozhao, stood aside, and said respectfully:

"My father and emperor are helpless about this, so don't embarrass my sons."

When Emperor Xiaozhao heard him say this, he also sighed helplessly, and then asked:

"If I decide you against the crowd, will you be sure of retreating from the enemy?"

Emperor Xiaozhao experienced this selection of generals only to find that the strength of the Feng family was much deeper than he thought, and the matter of Prince Yi was not so easy, and if he was not careful, it would cause a situation of rivers of blood. If this goes on for a long time, the country will change hands sooner or later.

Now, while he is still old, he can build up enough strength to fight against the Feng family.

Zhou Chengan did not pick up the hot potato, but asked Emperor Xiaozhao rhetorically:

"Is my father sure that he can suppress the Feng faction?"

Hear this. Emperor Xiaozhao was angry, and he didn't blame him for being unhappy, you think, since he ascended the throne, because of the power of the British government, this emperor should be so aggrieved. Now that the Feng family is even bigger, it is strange that he can feel comfortable.

When Zhou Chengan saw Emperor Xiaozhao's expression, he knew what he thought, and a meaningful smile rose on his lips, and he said to Emperor Xiaozhao:

"If the father chooses a son. Will the Feng party give up? Marching and fighting is no child's play. Those who don't want to let Erchen make achievements, there are many people, and in the middle, Erchen is not sure that he can guarantee that nothing goes wrong. ”

Zhou Chengan said it very clearly. Directly sue Emperor Sù Xiaozhao. If you have chosen me. I can't get used to seeing people behind my perineum.

Emperor Xiaozhao didn't think about this, but the military power in the northwest had fallen into the hands of the Feng family, and Emperor Xiaozhao didn't want their manpower to be placed in the south.

"Do you have a plan?"

Emperor Xiaozhao knew. These days, I am at a loss, let alone Zhou Chengan, who has just returned to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, I heard Zhou Chengan say:

"Father, who is it that Chengtai forced the palace and forced the rebels back this time?"

Emperor Xiaozhao was stunned, everyone in the world knew that it was the second child of the Feng family, and he was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, so he arrived at the first moment.

"It's the Praetorian Guard."

Zhou Chengan smiled and said:

"Now the generals who are loyal to their father and emperor are afraid that there is only General Chu who guards Liaodong, but at that time, the palace changed, and what my father could count on was the Praetorian Guard."

Emperor Xiaozhao nodded with a calm face, although the Feng family was hateful, but it was indeed the Feng family who saved the car at that time.

"It is precisely because of this that I feel embarrassed, once the Feng family has different intentions, this palace gate will become an ornament."

Zhou Chengan saw that Emperor Xiaozhao could not understand the meaning of his words, so he went further and said:

"In that case, why didn't my father take away his authority as the commander of the Praetorian Guard?"

Emperor Xiaozhao smiled helplessly, and said with some discouragement:

"How can I not want to take away his military power, now that the Feng family has a deep foundation in the imperial court, I can't afford to lose if I move my whole body."

Zhou Chengan looked at Emperor Xiaozhao's helpless appearance, and really felt that his father was the emperor's bag, but then he thought about it, the military power is not in his hands, and he is restrained by others everywhere.

Zhou Chengan thought that he was not only a king, but also a father, and now seeing his old father helpless by others, Zhou Chengan felt very uncomfortable, so he said what was in his heart:

"Does my father want to be easy to store?"

Emperor Xiaozhao raised his head and looked at the son in front of him, did he have a keen sense of smell, or did he know too much about himself? What no one could see, he said!

Zhou Chengan continued:

"The Feng family is big, in this inner palace, I don't know how many eyeliners, now even the prince's mansion is about to become the world of the Feng family, my father hired the Qin family for the prince at that time as his wife, he wanted to suppress the future Feng concubine, but I didn't expect Feng to be a latecomer, and gradually overshadowed the momentum of the crown princess. If the crown prince ascends the throne, with the current status of the Feng family, it is not fair to say whether the crown princess can go to the position of queen, once Concubine Feng enters the East Palace, the status of the Feng family's relatives will be one step closer. ”

Zhou Chengan said that when he saw that Emperor Xiaozhao was a little unnatural when he heard about the Qin family, he guessed that he was thinking of the family affair that was cut off, and he didn't care about it, and said:

"The prince is safe in everything, at least he will be a good king who keeps his business, but the only fly in the ointment is that the prince relies on the Feng family for everything, and for a long time, who can guarantee that the Feng family will not have different intentions?"

Emperor Xiaozhao looked at Zhou Cheng'an, who was the head of the analysis in front of him, and found that he had never understood this son, he used to only see him as easy-going and kind-hearted, and had a broad mind, but now he found that he has a wise eye and keen observation, even if he was in front of himself before, he has never shown his true face.

Emperor Xiaozhao asked tentatively:

"In your opinion, who can entrust it?"

Zhou Chengan saw Emperor Xiaozhao asking himself, so he said truthfully:

"If you talk about courage and bravery, as well as the ability to deal with affairs, there is no doubt that the fourth brother is a corporal, he is a virtuous corporal, assertive but not paranoid, and often listens to the opinions of others, if it is not for the poor body, the fourth brother is more suitable to be the prince."

Zhou Chengan is telling the truth, Zhou Chengqian does have these advantages, but Zhou Chengqian's only fly in the ointment is that he does not occupy the heirs and does not occupy the long.

Zhou Chengan can praise Zhou Chengqian unreservedly at this time, Emperor Xiaozhao is even more proud of this son in his heart, since he was a child, he has never been a brother or a brother, this throne is stepping on the corpses of a group of brothers, Zhou Chengan's things on his body, he was moved.

"Why don't you tell yourself?"

Zhou Chengan raised his head and said solemnly:

"Compared with the fourth brother, the son is far behind."

Emperor Xiaozhao listened to his answer and pondered, Zhou Chengan couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he brought the topic back to the Feng family.

"Father, now the sons have a plan, they can take the position of the commander of Feng Er's Praetorian Guard, and they will not be alarmed."

Hearing Zhou Cheng'an say that he had a plan, Emperor Xiaozhao asked with a spirit:

"Tell me about it."
