Chapter 223: The Three-Party Dispute

Now that Du Photovoltaic is faring, the position of the Taishi is vacant, and those courtiers who have a desire for the position of the Taishi are consciously wooing the courtiers in the court. But those courtiers who desire that position are also capable and incapable. Those who were incapable did not have the support of the courtiers, and soon gave up on the idea. Those who are capable are desperately trying to win over other ministers, trying to give themselves a better chance of winning. But there is one exception, and that person is Jiang Huan. But Jiang Huan didn't win them over, it didn't mean that there were no courtiers on Jiang Huan's side. For example, Shangshu Province behind Jiang Huan.

As a result, the courtiers in the court were consciously divided into three factions. One faction is the Taifu faction headed by An Xian, the other is the prime minister faction headed by Tang Hao, and the other part is the Zuo Cheng faction headed by Jiang Huan. The three forces check and balance each other, and they present a strange picture upwards.

Facing up.

The ministers stood in their own positions and waited for Ling Chen to arrive. After half a cup of tea, Ling Chen walked in.

"Long live my king, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

"Long live thanks."

Ling Chen glanced at the officials who originally belonged to Du Guang's party, his eyes narrowed slightly, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

The officials who were stared at by Ling Chen all shuddered, and they all lowered their heads in unison, already lowering their sense of existence. An Taifu glanced at those quiet courtiers, and secretly sighed in his heart, "What a waste." ”

I wanted to think so, but there was no trace of it on my face. He stood up from the crowd and arched his hand, "Enlighten the Lord, the minister has something to do." ”

Seeing An Xian like that, Ling Chen had already guessed a rough idea in his heart, but he didn't reveal the slightest, but said lightly, "Say." ”

"Yes." An Xian nodded and replied, "Now that the criminal minister Du Photovoltaic is in the law, the Taishi is vacant, has the Lord ever thought about who will serve as the new Taishi?" ”

Tang Hao and Jiang Huan, who were hidden in the crowd, heard what An Xian said, and a trace of ridicule appeared in their eyes.

This An Xian said this in front of Ling Chen, did he clearly tell him that he wanted the position of the Grand Master? But An Xian now holds a lot of power, and he is also a well-known figure in the court. If he was made the head of the three princes, Ling Chen's position would be in jeopardy. Therefore, as long as Ling Chen is not stupid, he will not let An Xian do that position.

Sure enough, Ling Chen's face turned a little dark when he heard An Xian say. But this black was only for a moment, and it quickly returned to normal, only to hear him Yingying say, "Although Du Guang committed the crime of rebellion, he also made a lot of contributions to our country. Master Taifu, are you right? ”

"The Lord is holy." An Taifu said.

After all, Mrs. An had already scolded Ling Chen's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart. Discord? Why didn't he say anything about discord when he killed the heroes? Now putting on a face of pity for the hero, it's really disgusting.

Ling Chen was in a good mood when he saw Mrs. An's pig-liver-colored face, and he opened his mouth, "Do you have anything else to report to Zhong Aiqing?" If nothing happened, he retreated. ”

As soon as Ling Chen's words landed, he saw a minister walk out of the crowd, "Enlighten the lord, the minister has a plan to play." ”

"Say."

"The monarch of Wu sent someone to hand an invitation to my country."

"Invitations?" Ling Chen raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, "Take it and take a look." ”

"Yes." After saying that, the minister took out an invitation card from his sleeve, and the little eunuch next to Ling Chen quickly stepped forward, and then took the invitation card in the minister's hand. Ling Chen glanced at the yellow invitation on the table and opened it. When he saw what was written on it, a pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Subsequently, it was thrown on the table.

Seeing Ling Chen like this, the ministers below were a little curious about what was written in this invitation. But because Ling Chen was a gentleman and a minister, he had to hold back his curiosity and wait for Ling Chen to explain the content of the invitation.

Fortunately, Ling Chen didn't make them curious for too long. He quickly told them the contents of the invitation.

"In a few days, it will be the thirtieth birthday of the lord of Wu." Ling Chen pursed his lips and replied, "The relationship between us and Chen and Wu is not good, and I don't know what madness he Wu Guo has, so he invited us to his birthday banquet." ”

"Probably because I want to be good friends with my country." Tang Hao said.

"Friendship?" An Xian sneered when he heard this, "If you don't make friends sooner or later, but you make friends at the birthday banquet, are they playing tricks on me to cross the country?" ”

"I don't care if it's good or not." Ling Chen said, "Since they invited us to Yue Guo to participate in the birthday banquet, if we don't go, I'm afraid they will cause trouble." ”

When the old ministers led by the head of the household department Shangshu heard what Ling Chen said, they nodded approvingly, "The lord's words are reasonable. ”

Ling Chen waved his hand, "Do you think it's appropriate for Aiqing to send someone to attend the birthday banquet of the monarch of Wu Guo?" ”

"This..."Hearing what Ling Chen said, those officials were all in trouble. They looked at each other for a while, and finally, a minister walked out, "Weichen thinks it is most appropriate for Jiang Zuocheng to go." ”

Ling Chen raised his eyes slightly when he heard this, glanced at the minister, and secretly wondered which side the minister was. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with the answer. If he remembers correctly, this person should be Jiang Huan's party, and now let Jiang Huan go, whether he wants him to go through the experience or the side, it is unknown.

An Xian and Tang Hao on the side heard what the minister said, and a gleam appeared in their eyes. Chen Guo has a long way to go, and it will take a few days to come and go. If you can kill him here, there will be one less guy to add to the blockage in the future. Thinking of this, An Xian and the two showed a rare tacit understanding, and they said in unison, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

The two of them looked at each other in surprise. Finally, they smiled tacitly. But there is a meaning hidden in this smile.

That is, Jiang Huan will definitely die.

When Ling Chen heard what the two of them said, he pursed his lips and said, "What does Jiang Aiqing think?" ”

Jiang Huan, who was named by name, walked out of the crowd, and he knelt down and said, "Weichen is willing to go to Chen Guo to wish Chen Guoguo the joy of his birthday." ”

"Good." When Ling Chen heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Jiang Aiqing's official character is low, and if he rushes to Chen Guo, I am afraid that he will be told by the lord of Chen Guo that we can find someone with low official quality to perfunctory him." Spread the will of the orphan, seal it as the second product of the palm, and when he returns, he will take office immediately, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Jiang Huan seemed to have known what Ling Chen would do, and his face did not show the slightest surprise, but kowtowed and said, "Weichen thank Lord Longen." ”

"Get up." Ling Chen said.

After Jiang Huan got up, Ling Chen opened his mouth again, "Is there anyone from the Qing family who is willing to go to Wu State?" ”
