Chapter 169: Two Sides and Three Swords

"Xianggong, Wang Jingchong, the squire of the military department, asks to see you!"

The voice of the steward in the house interrupted Yang Wei's gradually unblocked train of thought. The first reaction when he heard the words was impatience, and he looked out of the hall, the cold mist was deep and vast, and he couldn't help but have some doubts: "This person is visiting at night, what is the so-called thing?" ”

"Xianggong, Wang Shilang came from the side door, and his whereabouts are secret." The steward added.

"It's so secretive!" Yang Wei muttered a sentence and casually ordered: "Lead him to the side hall and wait, I'll see him later!" ”

"Yes!"

From Yang Wei's tone and attitude, it can be seen that he doesn't think much of Wang Jingchong, and even despises it a little.

The side hall of the Yang Mansion is a little small, for this time to see, even the main hall can't enter, Wang Jingchong is not much resentful, his expression is very calm, after all, he didn't go through the door to pay respects.

Wang Jingchong was dressed very refreshingly, his robe was thin, he didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, his buttocks were slightly pouting, and he was attached to half of the chair, his body was tense, and he looked very cautious.

Although the person was calm, what was revealed in those small eyes was a wolf-like cold gaze. In the battle of Du, Wang Jingchong served as a waterway transport envoy, set up some hard work, and added the military department after returning to the court, but he did not have real power, and it was still a false title. For Wang Jingchong, who is interested in Xiang, it is absolutely unbearable to continue doing nothing like this.

After waiting for half an hour, the tea was light, and his hands and feet were cold, Yang Wei finally appeared. Although his hands and feet were numb, the moment Yang Wei appeared, he got up very quickly and saluted: "The lower official has seen the cardinal minister." ”

"Excuse me, I've kept you waiting!" Yang Wei's mouth was not an apologetic tone.

However, Wang Jingchong obviously didn't care, and there was a little condescending smile on the corner of his mouth: "The cardinal minister has a lot of opportunities, and the subordinate officials have taken the liberty to visit, which is really disturbing, and I am really uneasy in my heart." ”

The lower Wang Jingchong's posture became, the more contempt Yang Wei felt in his heart, he locked his eyebrows slightly, sat down and asked directly: "There is no need to say more about compliments." What's the matter, why do you come to see your true face late at night? ”

Yang Wei didn't instruct, and Wang Jingchong didn't dare to sit down, so he simply stood, his face was heavy, and he said cautiously: "Guanzhong Shu is in turmoil, the imperial court wants to send troops, the lower officials have heard that the candidates for the unified army have not yet been elected, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to decide on the main general tomorrow......"

"That's the thing!" Yang Wei nodded, his expression became deeper and deeper, and he glanced at Wang Jingchong: "You, what do you seem to think?" ”

Regarding the issue of sending troops to Guanzhong, in a controversy, it dragged on for a few days, probably because the right side of Guanzhong was still stable, and the Shu army did not make any breakthroughs, so the matter of discussing the troops was delayed again and again.

Shi Hongzhao wanted to use Bai Zairong as a general, that is, the former defense envoy of Qizhou, who was pushed to the end by Liu Chengyou because of the scourge of the army and the people. After he arrived in Tokyo, he took refuge in Shi Hongzhao, and really looked at Shi Hongzhao right eye, and was contained in the forbidden army as the Marquis of Wujie Army.

Of course, Shi Hongzhao's purpose in sending Bai Zairong was to protect his younger brother Shi Honglang. His suggestion, with Shi Honglang and Bai Zairong, was completely to brush up on his brother's qualifications......

Yang Wei strongly recommended Zhen Yanqi, one of the several generals he had placed in the forbidden army before, which was directly exposed.

Even, Prime Minister Wang Zhang recommended Taiwei Bai Wenke. Bai Gong is not only a hero of the Han Dynasty, but also Wang Zhang's father-in-law, but it is slightly more reasonable, but he is too old.

Several people, the selfishness is too heavy, let Guo Wei, who was ordered and wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible, is very angry, and the "honest" people are angry, you can imagine how angry the other generation is. Liu Chengyou still couldn't bear it, and gave a limited deadline, the generals would be determined tomorrow, and the troops would be dispatched the day after tomorrow, it was that strong attitude that made Yang Wei and him face each other.

At this time, noticing Yang Wei's expression, the flattery on Wang Jingchong's face became stronger, and he smiled: "The cardinal minister thinks that the lower officials lead the army, how about going to Guanzhong?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing his words, Yang Wei looked at Wang Jingchong unexpectedly, but when he saw his respectful appearance, he couldn't help but mock: "You must have heard about the dispute in the military discussion, do you think you can be in a handsome position?" ”

"The lower officials are self-aware, so naturally they don't have such extravagant expectations, they just want to follow the army as a general!" Wang Jingchong's waist bent lower.

Hearing this, Yang Wei was silent and glanced at him, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Wang Jingchong continued to say in a flattering voice: "The war in the west is in turmoil, and it is the time to use force, and the lower officials are willing to pass the right ...... for the prime minister."

This sentence made Yang Wei's face change, he condensed his cold gaze, stared at him for a while, and saw Wang Jingchong burying his head deeply, still very respectful to himself.

After thinking about it, Yang Wei waved his hand at him: "You go back first." Tomorrow, I will recommend you to General Guanzhong! ”

"Xie Shuxiang!" Wang Jingchong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly nodded and thanked him, like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

"Just bury a chess piece in Guanzhong!" After Wang Jingchong left, Yang Wei muttered, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was probably Wang Jingchong's deference that made Yang Wei realize that he was still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and his mood was slightly better. calmed down, and began to ponder again, the upcoming changes in the Han Dynasty......

On the second day, under the auspices of Liu Chengyou's parents, the candidates for the generals were determined with great efficiency. Shi, Yang and others' proposals, Liu Chengyou simply did not agree, but instead proposed, Wang Jun.

Wang Jun has also followed Liu Zhiyuan for many years, and has made a lot of efforts before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty, with enough qualifications, enough ability, strong body, and trustworthy, for a while, Yang Wei and others really couldn't find a reason to refute.

During this period of Liu Chengyou's imprisonment, his strength has been completely unrestrained, and since his generation can't put forward a reason to oppose it, it is up to him to decide.

After the discussion was dismissed, Shi Hongzhao walked with a black face, his proposal was completely rejected, where can he be happy. Moreover, he completely understood that on the prince's side, he really didn't like to eat like Liu Zhiyuan.

Crisis!

As for Yang Wei, it was not much better, he made plans in advance, decided to take a step back, not to fight for the position of the main general, and wanted to take Wang Jingchong as the capital prisoner, but he was still rejected by Liu Chengyou.

This, what else to discuss, let the prince make his own decisions, what do you want them to do!

In contrast, Wang Zhang's attitude was calmer. I don't know when it started, Wang Zhang, who has always worn a pair of pants with Yang Wei, has reduced contact with Yang Wei, and in the court, he is no longer an echo worm.

Wang Jun is decided, and it cannot be changed. In the face of the sudden descent to the head of the main general, Wang Jun was surprised, but also a little excited, a little grateful, at this time Wang Jun, the heart of merit is very heavy, the army to resist the enemy, eliminate disasters, Dingding mountains and rivers, this is a very good opportunity to perform.

Together with Guo Wei, he called Li Shu, the marching official sent by Zhao Kuangzan to Tokyo to report the situation, and discussed the battle situation in Guanzhong with Wang Jun.

For Wang Jun, Liu Chengyou only had two advices: First, Feng Xiang must not fall into the hands of the Shu army. Second, Hou Yiqi's mind is uncertain, if he postpones his wishes, he can act cheaply, don't be afraid of accidents, he will carry it for him from Tokyo.

"Your Highness!" A little surprising to Liu Chengyou, taking advantage of his rare spare time, Wang Jingchong actually took the initiative to find him, and he sneaked around.

Bold enough.

"What?" Liu Chengyou looked at him.

In front of Liu Chengyou, Wang Jingchong was more deferential, but he did not have the flattery in front of Yang Wei. I saw him drooping his eyelids, clenching his fists hard, and whispering: "Yang Wei is different, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be careful!" ”

One sentence made Liu Chengyou very surprised, his originally relaxed expression immediately darkened, his eyes glanced at him indifferently, looked at him, and various thoughts were born in his mind.

This person has always been Yang Wei's horse boy, why did he sneak to him this time and tell the master's secret?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou seemed to think of something, stared at his respectful appearance, and said coldly: "Yang Xiangnai is the prime minister who the official family and Gu rely on the most, you suddenly found Lone, and with this inexplicable remark, Lone is very suspicious of your intentions!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jingchong's face changed slightly, but he quickly gritted his teeth and knelt down directly: "The minister doesn't dare to discuss the prime minister, if it is not a big matter, how can the minister dare to find His Highness directly." ”

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou sat down slowly, and said lightly: "I want to hear it, what is wrong with Yang Xiang......"

Liu Chengyou's fluttering words fell into his ears, and Wang Jingchong's tense expression was obviously relaxed, and he replied next: "Last night, Yang Wei summoned the ministers to the palace at night and told the ministers that he wanted to recommend the ministers as the deputy general of the marching army. said that there may be a big change in Beijing, and let the ministers pass through Guanzhong for him. ”

When the minister heard this, he was stunned, but he really didn't know what Yang Wei meant by this? However, he was afraid of his might and promised to do so. After returning home, I couldn't sleep all night, and I always felt that Yang Wei had something to say, and he dared to let his ministers pass through the customs for him, which was simply a rebellious word. And today, I really heard that he had the idea of recommending ministers. The minister was frightened and did not dare to delay any longer, so he came to report to His Highness. Yang Wei, I'm afraid that I don't have a heart of disobedience, please be careful with Your Highness! ”

After listening to Wang Jingchong's report, Liu Chengyou's eyes narrowed slightly, judging him, this person's words are a bit informative.

Without anger or any other excessive reaction, Liu Chengyou said quietly: "Your courage is really not small, if you sue the prime minister for rebellion, you are not afraid of losing your life?" ”
