Meng Yuan said this, which made Chu Nanyue's last doubts disappear.

No one can be so hostile to a newcomer to officialdom unless he hinders his own interests.

Chu Nanyue met Meng Yuan's cold eyes and said, "Master Meng came to tell me this experience, and for which newcomer?" ”

Meng Yuan couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and said quietly: "General Chu, where does this start?" ”

Chu Nanyue shook her head and said with a smile: "Just kidding, Master Meng doesn't have to be serious. These candidates are all from all over Tanglin. Since Master Meng doesn't know him, then I can't know him. ”

Meng Yuan didn't admit it at all, he knew Liu Yiyang, and Chu Nanyue couldn't expose him on the spot.

That's exactly what happened. Since General Chu didn't know that Wang Chang, he shouldn't have intervened and prompted him to become a martial champion. Meng Yuan said.

His tone was full of earnest teachings, as if it was for Chu Nanyue's good.

"Wang Chang became the champion of martial arts, is it the emperor's intention, is Lord Meng questioning the emperor's decision?" Chu Nanyue glanced at Meng Yuan.

"Is General Chu serious?" Meng Yuan's heart was stagnant.

"That is to say, Master Meng is not satisfied with my participation in the martial arts test." Chu Nanyue's tone was relaxed, as if he recalled something, and said, "But if I remember correctly, it was Lord Meng who instructed Lord Zhao to deliberately ask the emperor to let me participate in the martial arts test by the way." ”

Although Zhao Jingyu was reluctant at that time, he finally asked the emperor for his life, asking Chu Nanyue and other candidates to participate in the martial arts test.

However, Meng Yuan's purpose at that time was just to make Chu Nanyue lose face in front of all the ministers and lose his former calmness and majesty.

Meng Yuan didn't expect that Chu Nanyue would still deal with it calmly. In the end, it was really him who turned around and hit himself in the foot.

After not hearing Meng Yuan's answer for a long time, Chu Nanyue asked again, "Why didn't Master Meng speak?" Or is it that Lord Zhao's request was not at your behest? ”

"General Chu doesn't have to say sarcastic words to me, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, General Chu is happy." Meng Yuan said angrily.

In Meng Yuan's heart, Chu Nanyue probably had the intention of wooing Wang Chang. What's more, Wang Chang's position, in the Ministry of War, Chu Nanyue spoke for Wang Chang, Wang Chang is helpless in the court, and he will definitely be grateful for Chu Nanyue's kindness.

At the same time, Chu Nanyue has no henchmen in the DPRK. And this time, it was a rare opportunity. Because Wang Chang was the first martial champion in the Tanglin Dynasty, the emperor would also rely on Wang Chang. Taking advantage of the break after yesterday's dismissal, he was not surprised that they chose to join forces.

"The emperor has got a real talent, and I am naturally happy for the emperor." Chu Nanyue replied.

She had already guessed what Meng Yuan meant. But it's a pity that Meng Yuan's thoughts are too narrow. If she Chu Nanyue really wanted to unite her henchmen, she would have already found ministers from other forces. Why bother to help a powerless newcomer now?

Chu Nanyue said a fair word for Wang Chang, just because Wang Chang was really better than Liu Yiyang and suitable to become a martial champion.

Meng Yuan obviously didn't believe Chu Nanyue's words, and sneered: "If General Chu had said earlier, he needed to have forces to cling, and he wouldn't have to have such a stiff relationship with the military department. What's more, both of them are newcomers. It doesn't necessarily mean that Liu Yiyang is weaker than that Wang Chang. ”

"Listening like this, Lord Meng has a better impression of that newcomer?" Chu Nanyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she heard that something was wrong with Meng Yuan, "No, if it was a person who was Master Meng before, then he couldn't be considered a newcomer, then he should be called an old person." Isn't Liu Yiyang the old man under you? ”

"General Chu!" Meng Yuan was stunned, "Do you want to say that Liu Yiyang doesn't meet the rules for participating in the martial arts test at all?" But he's not an old man, and I don't know him. ”

Meng Yuan denied it, and Chu Nanyue didn't dig deeper.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I don't really have much evidence. Now that Liu Yiyang has become a role model, Master Meng is not too much of a loss. Chu Nanyue said.

Meng Yuan didn't know when he was suspected. Maybe it was during the game, or not long ago, when he was in a strategy, his tone of defending Liu Yiyang was too anxious.

But suddenly seeing that Wang Chang had already walked over, Meng Yuan was afraid that something would be leaked, so he walked away early.

"General Chu." Wang Chang walked to Chu Nanyue's side, and after stopping, he saluted respectfully.

"What is this doing, Lord Wang?" Chu Nanyue hurriedly helped the person up.

Wang Chang had already obtained an official position, and in front of Wang Chang, Chu Nanyue slowly changed his wording.

"General Chu, above the palace test of Fang Cai, the lower officials are indeed more panicked than before. The first time he met with the saint, and he got such a policy topic, the lower officials knew that it was very easy to provoke Long Yan's anger. Wang Chang said seriously.

"Being an official in the court. It cannot be said that there is no need to be careful. But Lord Wang doesn't have to panic too much, His Majesty is a rare Ming Jun, since he personally came up with such a question, he just wants Lord Wang and others to tell each other frankly. Chu Nanyue said softly, "What's more, isn't the performance of Lord Fang Cai Wang exactly what His Majesty appreciates?" ”

"They all lost General Chu, and they stood up for me at that time." Wang Chang pondered the wording, "It seems that Master Meng doesn't seem to appreciate the lower officials. ”

Isn't it just not appreciative? When the court recommended another candidate to the emperor, it was obvious that he did not approve of him.

Wang Changlai participated in the martial arts examination and understood that in the future, he would be an official under the military department Shangshu. In the beginning, he was full of reverence for the military department.

And Meng Yuan's contempt for him is undoubtedly a slap in the face for him.

"Lord Wang, being an official in the court is not just about being optimistic." Chu Nanyue saw that he had just entered the officialdom, and his thoughts were naïve, so he couldn't help but remind. "Then Liu Yiyang was valued by Master Meng, and it didn't come from appreciation."

Wang Chang vaguely felt that Chu Nanyue's words were intentional, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so he just did it.

And Chu Nanyue recalled Wang Chang's performance in the martial arts of the bow and horse, and couldn't help but be curious: "Lord Wang, look at your martial arts, it is really extraordinary, have you practiced it since childhood?" ”

"Xiaguan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he learned some rough martial arts from his master, but unfortunately when the imperial court recruited soldiers, he was injured when Xiaguan accidentally practiced martial arts, and unfortunately he was not able to enter the military camp at that time." Wang Chang replied.

Chu Nanyue looked at Wang Chang and saw that he was only about twenty years old, calculating the time, it was the time to join the army.

"I see." Chu Nanyue pondered, "It seems that Lord Wang is not a person who has lived under people for a long time. By chance, he participated in the first year of the martial arts examination. And if he entered the barracks back then, he would have won the position of general with his skills. ”

Hearing Chu Nanyue's praise, Wang Chang hurriedly said modestly: "General Chu, even if the subordinate joins the army, he is only an adjutant lieutenant and deputy general, how dare Xiao want to be a general?" ”

"Where is there a general who is handsome from the beginning? I, too, started as a soldier. Chu Nanyue waved his hand.

And Wang Chang is weaker than her, the only thing that is weaker is his family background.
