Chapter 36 Zhang Yan and Zhang Lie
"The minister believes that Great Xia has been ready to move in recent years, and if Li Mu is transferred to Beijing at this time to serve as the secretary of the military department, it is not suitable, after all, Li Mu has fought with Great Xia for many years and has rich experience, and his ability can be compared with others. Prime Minister Zhang Chenglin said lightly.
"Compared with Li Mu, Zhang Lie, who recognized Youzhou, was more suitable to be the secretary of the military department, speaking of military exploits, capable of doing things, Zhang Lie and Li Mu were equally divided, and the Great Yan in the north and my Great Shang have been friends for generations, and the possibility of friction between the two countries is basically zero. β
The current prime minister, Zhang Chenglin, was originally the former head of the household department, but because of his outstanding political achievements, shrewdness and ability, he even denounced the corruption and bribery case of the former prime minister Lin Jing'an, and was promoted to prime minister on the day the case was closed.
However, because of this case, the three princes and Li Tianxing have a bad impression of him, especially Li Tianxing.
The third prince, Qin Zhenqian, looked at Zhang Chenglin coldly and said, "Oh, if this palace is not mistaken, General Zhang is the eldest son of the prime minister, right? If Lord Zhang really entered Beijing and became the secretary of the military department, I don't know that Youzhou will be handed over to General Zhang Yan?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clever, but the old minister has this intention. Zhang Chenglin responded with a smile.
Qin Zhenqian snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, Prime Minister Zhang is really a good plan, the eldest son entered Beijing as the secretary of the military department, and the second son stayed in Youzhou as a big business general, if this is the case, the Zhang family can be called half of my big business." β
"The third brother thinks too much, I believe that the prime minister just wants to work for my big business, and General Zhang Lie is one of the five famous generals of my big business, and although General Zhang Yan can't reach the level of a famous general, he is also a top general, and it is enough to sit in Youzhou. The eldest prince Qin Zheng spoke.
After hearing the words of the prime minister and the great prince Qin Zheng, the ministers whispered on the side, "Yes, the only one who threatens the Great Shang in Youzhou is the Great Yan, the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty have been friendly for generations, and there has been no war at all in the past five hundred years, as for the surrounding large dynasties and small and medium-sized dynasties that cannot threaten the Great Shang at all, it is enough to have General Zhang Yan in charge." β
After Qin Zhenqian heard the words of Qin Zheng and the surrounding officials, his face sank suddenly, and he shouted angrily at Qin Zheng: "Qin Zheng, you kept telling me yesterday that you are not greedy for power, and you seemed to support it just now, but in fact you are just pretending, how can you see that this palace has become the crown prince, and you are in a hurry? Do you think that this palace does not know that Prime Minister Zhang promised to marry you and his eldest granddaughter to you as your princess six days ago?"
The officials saw Qin Zhenqian's anger, and they didn't dare to whisper anymore, this is the crown prince of the dynasty, and he can ascend to the supreme position after no accident.
"Third brother, how can you be so presumptuous as the crown prince, in front of your father, you don't even call the eldest brother, just call me by my name. Besides, do I need your consent to whom I want to marry as my concubine? And isn't your nonsense enough in the past seven days? Look at the official positions below the third rank in the court, nearly half of them have been replaced by you, and even the ministers above the third rank have been impeached by you, and if this continues, my Shang Dynasty will be destroyed by you sooner or later. Qin Zheng replied flatly.
After hearing Qin Zheng's answer, Qin Zhenqian's angry face suddenly calmed down, and he smiled lightly, his laughter gradually became louder, and he said while laughing: "Haha, big brother? β
The ministers gradually understood that the battle between the eldest prince and the third prince was about to start from now on, and Daxia had been eyeing the heirs from the side in recent years, and now the battle between the eldest prince and the third prince had begun again, and it could be said that the business was now an internal and external trouble.
"Let General Zhang Lie be the secretary of the military department? Li Mu City Lord continues to sit in Sifang City? This is afraid of the Prime Minister's idea, the Prime Minister had some festivals with the Li family back then, why are you afraid that the people of the Li family will enter the court again?" Qin Zhenqian said coldly.
"Nonsense, when did the prime minister have a holiday with the Li family? It is normal for civil officials and military attachΓ©s to debate with each other, if they do not debate with each other, how can they make progress with each other? If all the officials cannot make progress, how can we promote the development of our big business? Third brother, your ideas are simply pedantic, and you will only speculate wildly, your selfish desires are too heavy, and you are not worthy of being a prince at all if you continue like this. Qin Zheng still said indifferently.
The officials didn't dare to make a sound, they only dared to watch the eldest prince and the third prince fight, after all, the matter involving the seizure of the heir was very important, and no one dared to stand in line at will.
The eldest prince Qin Zheng, although he has always been gentle and elegant, gives people the feeling of a humble gentleman, but who knows if he is consistent on the outside and inside, maybe he is secretly brutal?
There are too many such examples in history, when he was a prince, he was gentle and humble, but after ascending to the supreme position, he became another person, and the ministers around him were beheaded.
And the third prince Qin Zhenqian is now firmly sitting in the position of the East Palace, everyone is still too unfamiliar with him, who was not obvious before, and now he suddenly became the prince, except for a very small number of first-class ministers, everyone else is not very clear about what is going on, and now that he is the prince, he may not be able to ascend to the supreme position, and many dynasties and dynasties in the crown prince can not finally ascend to the supreme position abound.
"The fox's tail is exposed, and the position of the crown prince of this palace was given by his father. Why do you think your father didn't make you the crown prince for so many years? That's because your father has long seen through that you are a hypocrite, and if you put Dashang in your hands, it will be ruined!" Qin Zhenqian looked at Qin Zheng with disdain on his face and said.
After Qin Zheng heard this, he felt that what Qin Zhenqian said was not unreasonable, his face became slightly abnormal, and the hand in his sleeve clenched his fist, trying to control his emotions.
After Prime Minister Zhang Chenglin saw Qin Zheng's face change slightly, he immediately spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Great Prince, what we are discussing now is who to open the post of secretary of the Ministry of War. β
After Qin Zheng heard Zhang Chenglin's words, he immediately adjusted his emotions, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the reminder of the Prime Minister." β
After speaking, in the middle of the hall, he faced the supreme position and said: "Father, the son thinks that what the prime minister said is reasonable, and the son agrees that General Zhang Lie will enter Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department, and General Zhang Yan will take over General Zhang Lie's position and become the protector of Youzhou. β
As soon as these words came out, the henchmen of the prime minister and the eldest prince Qin Zheng immediately spoke.
"Minister, agree with the opinion of the eldest prince, and the minister seconded the proposal. β
The minister also seconded. β
γγγγγγ
Nearly 10 ministers spoke out in support.
When Qin Zhenqian saw this scene, he knew that he could no longer salvage the situation, and praised Li Mu as the secretary of the military department. Shifting his gaze to Prime Minister Zhang Chenglin, he secretly thought, "This Zhang Chenglin is really powerful, he almost made Qin Zheng lose his temper, and he remedied it and returned to my army, so it seems that this prime minister can at least sit firmly for a long time." β
The one on the Supreme Throne spoke, "Accurately." β
