Chapter 124: Preparations for the Eastern Crusade (4)
Li Er heard that Li Chengqian was recommended by a candidate, and his mood suddenly improved a little.
In the end, he is still intimate with his own son, and he knows how to share his father's worries! The prince is becoming more and more sensible, and after a hundred years, he can also hand over Datang to him with peace of mind.
"What is the candidate for the crown prince, although it is said, let all the ministers and staff here see if it is feasible!" Li Er said with a smile.
"The person recommended by the prince must be outstanding, and he is by no means a mediocre person."
"I don't know what kind of person with outstanding ability can win the favor of the prince."
"Yes! Yes! Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come quickly, so that I can wait to see this person's demeanor. ”
As soon as Li Er's words fell, a group of ministers directly slapped the prince's ass.
Li Er's heart was not happy, but his face was silent, he wanted to see what his prince would be.
Li Chengqian frowned, his face showed disgust, and he was deeply disgusted with these guys who slipped around in public!
Doing this in front of Li Er didn't give him eye medicine for the prince! Can Li Er be happy to hear it?
After Li Er saw a trace of disgust on Li Chengqian's face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was somewhat satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.
Although Li Chengqian didn't say anything, in Li Er's opinion, the performance of the prince just now is enough to prove that he doesn't like flattering people like himself.
I just don't know if he can follow the advice as much as he does.
"Erchen recommended Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen as the logistics manager, and Erchen believes that Cen Wenwen will be able to take on this important responsibility!" Li Chengqian said.
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone present, and their faces were stunned!
They never imagined that Li Chengqian would actually nominate Cen Wenwen to be the general manager of logistics.
This was something that everyone did not expect, and even Cen Wenwen himself stood on the spot, looking at Li Chengqian dumbfounded.
Cen Wenwen was really surprised that Li Chengqian would actually recommend him to Li Er.
It's no wonder everyone was so surprised!
Cen Wenwen originally belonged to the camp of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and was known as the three giants of the Wei king's camp together with Liu Xun and Wei Ting.
It is the middle force that supports Li Tai to seize the throne, and it is a mortal enemy with the East Palace camp headed by the crown prince.
Since Li Tai was deposed, Cen Wenwen was the only one left in the former Big Three, although he was not implicated in Li Tai's incident, but he was also snubbed a lot.
The emperor is no longer the same as before, there is always something to ask Cen Wenwen and listen to his opinion! The Cen text has begun to be marginalized.
It's only a matter of time before you go home, and it's good to get a good ending!
Cen Wenwen can be said to be the remnant of Li Tai's sworn friend, and it would be good if Donggong didn't take the opportunity to find trouble! How could you be so kind to recommend Cen Wenwen?
"Prince! Why is Cen text recommended? Isn't Xu Jingzong of your East Palace also quite suitable? Why don't you recommend you as a subordinate of the East Palace? Li Er asked.
He was worried that Li Chengqian did this because Cen Wenwen had supported Li Tai in the first place, and he made a means of retaliation.
On the surface, regardless of previous suspicions, recommending Cen Wenwen, who has strong internal affairs ability, to him, the emperor, is actually planning to do tricks and feet in the grain and grass when the time comes, so as to frame Cen Wen.
Once something goes wrong with the grain and grass, can he still spare Cen Wenwen, who is in charge of the entire logistics?
The answer is obvious!
If Cheng Qian really made trouble in the dark because of old grievances, and caused something wrong with the grain, grass, and equipment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, then he could only consider the problem of the prince from scratch.
A narrow-minded person is not worthy of becoming the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty is handed over to him, it will not be the second Sui Dynasty.
Not only did Li Er have this idea, but the ministers above this hall were maliciously speculating about Li Chengqian's behavior in their hearts.
Who made our prince! used to be so stubborn, even sending assassins to assassinate his teacher and brother Li Tai, such a thing was done.
There is something that can't be done, I have endured it for so long, and now I don't take the opportunity to kill when I catch the opportunity.
These people are really damned!
"Father! Erchen believes that whether it is talent or ability, as well as experience and experience, Xu Jingzong is inferior to the text of Zhongshu Shilang Cen. ”
"The election of Cen Wenwen this time is for the great cause of the Eastern Crusade! As the crown prince, the son should share the worries of his father! ”
"How can Erchen recommend the people around him at will because Xu Jingzong is a subordinate official of the East Palace, regardless of the righteousness." Li Chengqian said.
To be honest, Li Chengqian at this time didn't think as much as these people, Xu Jingzong was still young after all, and he was indeed inexperienced in many aspects.
Let him experience it slowly, and within a few years, he will inevitably reach the same height as Cen Wenwen.
Now it is not appropriate to push him to such a high position all of a sudden, once something goes wrong, it is not him Li Chengqian, the crown prince, who is unlucky.
Whoever let Xu Jingzong be a person from his East Palace, if Xu Jingzong made a mistake in the management of logistics, then he, the prince, would be guilty of negligence.
This is a consideration of Li Chengqian.
As for why Cen Wenwen was elected as the logistics chief, it was because Cen Wenwen in history followed Li Er's Eastern Expedition.
Li Er handed over everything to Cen Wenwen, who personally took care of everything, but because of the excessive workload, he fell ill and died of a violent illness on the way to the Eastern Crusade.
In the end, Li Er really had no way to temporarily find someone to replace Cen Wenwen's position, so he had to call Xu Jingzong, who became Li Zhi's right concubine at that time, to replace Cen Wenwen's vacancy.
This is also the reason why Li Chengqian recommended Cen Wenwen, anyway, Cen Wenwen can't escape, since he can't escape, it is better to let him Li Chengqian recommend it, maybe he can end up with a reputation for recommending meritocracy regardless of previous suspicions.
"Is that true?" Li Er confirmed again and again.
"What Erchen said is true!" Li Chengqian said.
He is not afraid of shadows!
There really aren't any of these people who can't think about it.
"Cen Aiqing, I don't know what you think?" Li Er was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's answer, he really didn't mistake the prince, Li Er turned around and asked Cen Wenwen.
"The minister is willing to take up the post of logistics director and share the worries of His Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! After Cen Wenwen came out of the class to salute, he turned to Li Chengqian and saluted: "Thank you for the grace of Prince Xie's recommendation!" ”
Cen Wenwen took over this position, which can be regarded as a good relationship with the prince, and in any case, he was recommended by the prince to the emperor.
Being able to take this opportunity to ease relations with the crown prince will be of great benefit in the future.
"The Chinese scholar doesn't have to be polite! The widow is just for the consideration of my Datang's Jiangshan Sheji, not personal feelings, the Chinese scholar is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and the widow should be recommended. Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness is broad-minded, let the ministers admire!" Cen Wenwen saluted again.
"Good!" Li Er smiled.
Li Chengqian was able to accept Cen texts regardless of previous suspicions, which made Li Er the most satisfied, and he had the mind to accept Li Jiancheng's old ministry at the beginning.
