Later, Xue Shao and the people from the martial arts academy went back to the Xuanwu Hall together, and today was equivalent to taking an "outdoor physical education class", a group of people went out to scatter their minds and activities, and their spirits were obviously much better than before.

Xue Shao found Yuan Wanqing to discuss and said that everyone would have two days off. Yuan Wanqing was not so unkind, although it was not very refreshing, but after a few words of persuasion from Xue Shao, he agreed.

This is really good news for the people who talk about the martial arts. The turtle cowered in the Xuanwu Hall and studied for several days, and the rules in the palace were so strict that he couldn't even go out, it was like being locked in a cage. So as soon as Xue Shao announced, Cheng Boxian and the others cheered, and immediately discussed in private that they would go to Pingkangfang and Xishi later, and invited Xue Shao to go with them.

Xue Shao said no, and said to Cheng Boxian and the others, it is best for us to go back to Weifu together now. Cheng Boxian and the others calmed down and thought about it, right, now is the critical period of the internal power struggle in the Wei Mansion. Qianniu's martial arts lecture has just ended, if we can come forward in time to show our attitude to support Zhou Jitong, it will be the effect of striking while the iron is hot and succeeding in a battle.

Xue Shao said that this was the last straw that crushed the camel. Cheng Boxian and the others laughed, General Xue's analogy is good - go, go back to Weifu!

Yuan Wanqing was not as restless as the young man, and took the initiative to stay in the martial arts academy, and there were two book envoys who were also willing to stay and serve him together. Xiao Zhizhong also didn't want to leave, saying that his family was time-consuming and troublesome in Xianyang County, so it was better to stay behind with Yuan Gong to take care of the martial arts academy, and by the way, he could review the knowledge he had learned recently.

It can be seen that Xiao Zhizhong has no interest in the prosperity of Chang'an City, this is a noble person.

Xue Shao simply handed over his new lesson plan to him, and asked him to study in advance by himself, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he would ask when Xue Shao came back, and if he had any new ideas, he just added and improved. Xue Shao also said that if the class starts in two days, he will let Xiao Zhizhong teach for a day.

Xiao Zhizhong was honestly terrified when he suddenly received such a heavy responsibility, and repeatedly refused to say that he was still a new student, how could he dare to come to the stage to teach?

Xue Shao neither persuaded nor explained, he only said, let you teach you, this is an order to be given, not to discuss with you!

Xue Shao's military-style style made Xiao Zhizhong, an elegant man who had read poetry and books, tremble, and could only obediently agree. He must have been unable to take it easy for the past two days.

Later, the people from the martial arts academy left the palace together, and the six people of Zuo Fengchenwei rode back to the Wei Mansion on horseback, just in time for dinner in the Wei Mansion. Just like that day Cheng Bo offered a treat, today Zhou Jitong was the east and gave the generals and soldiers of the whole house a meal.

Seeing Xue Shao and the others coming back, Zhou Jitong was overjoyed in his heart - it was just in time!

In the past, Li Xiantong was very popular in the Wei Mansion and his power was not small, and his biggest supporter was the Four Imperial Swords. Although Xue Shao had reached a consensus and alliance with Zhou Jitong with the Four Imperial Swords, he had not yet broken it, and the people in the Wei Mansion did not know what to do.

Therefore, even if Qianniu talks about Wu Zhou Jitong wins, at least half of the people in the Wei Mansion are still hesitating and hesitating - where should we go in the future?

Now it's okay, Xue Shao appeared in the Wei Mansion with the Four Imperial Swords, as long as the leader of the Four Imperial Swords spoke, those middle and low-level generals and the soldiers below were reassured, and they dared to follow the Four Imperial Swords into Zhou Jitong's command.

Zhou Jitong was very enthusiastic and specially added a banquet to Xue Shao and others, entertained him with his own good wine, and invited Xue Shao to share the table with the same table, the intention is obvious.

"Xue Gongzi, it's just the right time!" Zhou Jitong whispered very gratefully, "When you come, I will have confidence!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Help people to the end, send Buddha to the West, we are also the beauty of adults!" ”

Zhou Jitong saluted Xue Shao, and saluted Cheng Boxian and the others one by one, even Xue Chuyu did not fall, and then said to Xue Shao: "After the Qianniu martial arts meeting is over, Li Xiantong will immediately go back to the house to treat his injuries. I heard that the prince sent the imperial doctor of the East Palace to his home to serve, and Li Shangdan also accompanied the prince to play polo at that time, so his intention must be quite obvious. ”

Xue Shao said: "That's right. I think that there will be no more people like Li Xiantong in Zuo Fengchenweili in the future. As for where his next home is, I don't care. ”

Zhou Jitong's heart sank slightly, and when he heard the tone, between Xue Shao and Li Xiantong, it seemed that there was a great feud?

"Li Xiantong has been operating in Zuo Fengchenwei for ten years, and his network foundation is not trivial." Zhou Jitong whispered, "If he really wants to leave here, someone must fill his vacancy, and at the same time, he must fill the vacancy I left for Zhonglang." ”

Xue Shao understood what he meant, one of the two children of Qianniu was promoted to general and the other left the Wei Mansion, and the vacated two Zhonglang generals could only be produced among the four imperial swords.

In the army, there has always been a mountain of military orders, so everyone has developed the habit of only looking at the "head officer", for example, ordinary soldiers may not know what General Lu Dao looks like, they only bow down to the team that directly manages them; The team recognizes the brigade commander, and the brigade commander recognizes the captain, and they are interlocking in turn. Therefore, Li Xiantong, who had enveloped the Four Imperial Swords in the past, was extremely influential in the Wei Mansion. So now, except for the four imperial swords, no one can completely control the set of people left by Li Xiantong.

Of course, if Xue Shao is willing to serve as a Zhonglang general, with the approval of General Zhou Jitong and the help of the four imperial swords, it is not a big problem. Therefore, Zhou Jitong deliberately asked Xue Shao to know if he was interested in "Zhonglang General".

Xue Shao immediately clapped his hands and pulled everyone's attraction over, and said, "Brothers, let's discuss family affairs behind closed doors now." Let's talk about it, if—I mean if, Zhou Zhonglang is promoted to the position of general, who should take over the vacant Zhonglang general? - Declare in advance, don't count Xue someone! ”

"Hey, it should be General Xue, why are you counted?" Cheng Boxian is straightforward.

Zhou Jitong smiled and said nothing, stupid, Lao Cheng, Xue Gongzi didn't bother to fight for the position of general, so why did he come to fight for a lieutenant general?

Cheng Qizhi said with a smile: "In my opinion, Lao Cheng is quite suitable!" ”

"Hey, why did you get rid of my old Cheng?" Cheng Boxian still hasn't come back to his senses.

Cui Hejian was also laughing, "I think it's none other than Lao Cheng!" ”

Xue Shao saw that Liu Mian was silent on the side.

It is estimated that Liu Renliang, the grandson of an important minister and a meritorious general, also has some ideas in his heart. In fact, among all the six products and thousands of cattle, Cheng Boxian is the closest to Zhonglang General, and Liu Mian's background can be said to be the strongest!

"I'll make a humble opinion." Xue Shao said, "Cheng Boxian and Liu Mian, the two brothers should not let go!" ”

Two?

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized in their hearts - okay, Li Xiantong is going to be swept out of the house!

The struggle for power has always been like this, there are no two kings in the country, and the family is happy and the family is sad. Since Li Xiantong was defeated in this battle for the position of general, there is no place for him to stand in Zuo Fengchen's guard!

"I'm okay with that!" Cheng Qizhi agreed for the first time. The relationship between him and Cheng Boxian has always been the strongest, although the two are not brothers who are related by blood, but they are like brothers. "The process of not being a lance" sounds like the two of them are waiting side by side, but in fact, Cheng Qizhi has always been like Cheng Boxian's follower, and the two of them are still happy to do it.

Xue Shao even had the illusion that the second journey was like an attack and an attack.

"I also think that what General Xue said is extremely appropriate!" Cui Hejian also expressed his opinion. The most important thing in the competition for official positions is qualifications, prestige and net worth background, Cui Hejian is very self-aware, he is far inferior to Cheng Boxian in terms of qualifications and prestige, and he is far inferior to Liu Mian, the grandson of Shangshu's left servant and Liu Renliang.

"It's best that brothers can reach a consensus with righteousness in mind!" Zhou Jitong breathed a sigh of relief, who Zhonglang handed over the vacant seat to, which is closely related to whether the position of the Wei Mansion and himself is stable.

This was a problem that made Zhou Jitong very headache and worry, but Xue Shao slapped his hand and opened his mouth, and easily solved it for him. In Zhou Jitong's heart, he was even more grateful and admired Xue Shao.

Xue Shao, the "behind the scenes" who directed the struggle for power in the Wei Mansion, laughed heartlessly on the side, "How do you feel that we are sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils?" ”

"Hahaha!"

A crowd laughed like cheers after a victory.

The struggle for power is also a war, but this is a war in which there is no sword and gunsmoke, and the ending is the same success.

After eating a meal, Zuo Fengchenwei was already decided.

If there is no big accident, Zhou Jitong will smoothly take over the position of general. The "bitter meat trick" he starred in before was also a huge return. The four imperial swords that changed camps in time also benefited, and Cheng Boxian and Liu Mian had the most real benefits, and they were directly promoted to Zhonglang General. At the same time, even if Cui Hejian and Cheng Qizhi will be a little disappointed in their hearts, they can hope more - follow Xue Shao, and sure enough, it's right!

Only Xue Shao is still the back of the six-grade Qianniu, and outsiders may not be able to see what has changed in him as a newcomer to the Wei Mansion. Only the high-level within Zuo Fengchenwei will understand in their hearts that although Xue Shao is not obvious, the general and Zhonglang will be held by him personally.

In the future, even if Xue Shao leaves Zuo Fengchenwei, this is still his territory! ——This is the ultimate manifestation of Xue Shao's "ambition is not here".

After the banquet, Xue Shao and the others returned to their official offices, each conveying the "spirit" to their subordinates and close colleagues. In just one night, Zuo Fengchenwei can achieve the unity of will. In the past, Zhou Jitong's supporters were naturally jubilant, and Li Xiantong's henchmen either changed their course or swept away, and there was no third way to go.

From this night on, Zuo Fengchenwei began to strictly prohibit gambling. Because, in the past, Li Xiantong, the "big owner", liked to invite people to gamble the most, and there was no gambling every day, and even the number of people who were eating in the dining hall could be odd or even.

Now that Zhou Jitong is about to take the throne, gambling is included in the bad habit to be severely punished, and the change is to refute Li Xiantong and belittle his prestige in the Wei Mansion.

Xue Shao reflected on this matter, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and the ancients did not deceive each other. In the past, Zuo Fengchenwei was surrounded by two children, and the factions were distinct. With the passage of time and the power of the other, the No. 1 order of the system will eventually be eliminated.

In the same way, there are no two heavens and no two kings in the country, and the general trend of the world will be together for a long time, and even the trend of history is roughly the same!

This kind of competition has always been bloody. If there is a family that is proud, there must be a family full of corpses and blood. History is always written by the winners, so the losing side is not only defeated, but often accompanied by famous rifts.

Therefore, the biggest mistake that many people who have suffered in history has actually been - he has failed.

For example, Xue Shao, who died unjustly in prison in history, was labeled as a rebel; Another example is Wu Zetian, who was ousted from power by his own son and the important ministers promoted by himself, and Shangguan Wan'er, a victim of political struggle; and was killed by his nephew Li Longji and then was also labeled as a rebel, Princess Taiping!.
