Yu Chengen recommended to the emperor to come to Xing'er to Liangzhou to meet Luo Yuanqi and harass the rear of Tubo, which was not a whim, of course, he did not really think that this trip had to come to Xing'er. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe reason why he did this was purely out of consideration for reducing the wings of the Jing family.

When Lai Xing'er was denounced by his sergeants, suspecting that he was seriously suspected of arguing against Li Shu, the leader of the rebel group, and handed it over to Li Qi, the king of Mu, who was in front of the enemy's command, Yu Chengen was afraid that Lai Xing'er would drag him into the water, and deliberately harmed Lai Xing'er. At that time, in Chengen's heart, Lai Xing'er was just an insignificant little lieutenant who could be discarded at will.

It wasn't until Chang'an was lost and regained, Lai Xing'er not only used the method of beating drums to scare away the Tubo army, but also stabbed Zhang Liang, the head of the remnant party of the Zhang family, and completely eliminated the emperor's doubts about him.

What especially made Yu Chengen feel restless was that he saw that Lai Xing'er was about to become one of the emperor's top cronies and close ministers, and he had a close relationship with his old enemy Jing Yuncong's family and came together. Even, he teamed up with Jing's father and son to sabotage his plan to move the capital, so that his attempt to use the relocation of the capital to elevate his status and role was completely frustrated. If he just watched Lai Xing'er rise to prominence and become the most reliable minister by the emperor's side, then in the future, once he and Jing's father and son publicly tore their faces and fought, Lai Xing'er would definitely become his confidant. Rather than that, it is better to take advantage of the fact that his wings are not hardened, and use the hands of the Tubo people to get rid of him, so as to eliminate future troubles.

Another reason that prompted Yu Chengen to make up his mind to get rid of Lai Xing'er was that as soon as the emperor returned to Chang'an, he asked for his opinion and planned to appoint Lai Xing'er as the commander of the Shenhe Army, so as to make up for the vacancy left by Wang Huaizhen's beheading. Compared with Lai Xing'er's fall to Jing's father and son, this made Yu Chengen feel even more restless.

At the beginning, he was sent by the emperor to serve as a supervisor in the army, and it was easy to create this elite Divine Crane Army as his capital in the army. Over the years, he has tried his best and invested all his energy in order for this team to develop and grow, but now, the general Wang Huaizhen, who was pulled up by himself, is not cold, and the emperor actually started the idea of the Crane Army, and wants to let this elf and eccentric Lai Xing'er be the main general of the Crane Army, isn't this obviously going to mix sand into his eyes?

When the emperor revealed this information to him in advance in the Yanying Palace, although Yu Chengen did not even let the emperor notice the slightest dissatisfaction and hesitation on the surface, he immediately smiled and expressed his absolute obedience, but in his heart he already held a grudge against Lai Xing'er, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly.

The emperor's seemingly dependent but actually guarded attitude towards himself in the matter of appointing Xing'er made Yu Chengen realize that it was not enough to rely on his own taoguang to counteract the emperor's vigilance, and he had to find a strong ally among the most trusted people around the emperor as soon as possible to help him secure the position of the first eunuch.

The first thing that Yu Chengen thought of was Concubine Li, who was now in charge of the harem.

Although Dugu Wanrong, like Jing Xuan, was suspicious of the emperor and was transferred from Jingzhou to Shaanzhou when he was idle, he failed to help him stay in Chang'an, but from the contact with the two concubines, the treacherous Yu Chengen keenly noticed that Wanrong's attitude towards him was completely different from Jing Xuan.

This concubine Niangniang, who looks like a fairy and is favored by the emperor, is obviously a type of person that Yu Chengen has been accustomed to in officialdom for many years: when she encounters benefits, she rushes to ask for it, but it is more difficult to ask her to do things than to ascend to the sky. Although Jing Xuan agreed to Yu Chengen in front of Li Qi, the king of the Treasure Elephant Palace, and pleaded for him to stay in Chang'an in front of the emperor, Yu Chengen knew in his heart that since the moment Jing Xuan picked out his intention to give gifts, he could no longer count on her to help him. And on that day, when he withdrew from the Treasure Elephant Palace and came to Yaohua Palace to see Wanrong, Wanrong did not promise to do anything for him, but Yu Chengen was obviously able to infer from Wanrong's eyes that Wanrong was very satisfied with the treasures that she had brought back to Chang'an to give her from Tuolai Xing'er not long ago, and it was very likely that she wanted to continue to maintain this financial road.

There is no good thing in the world that takes money for nothing and does not do things for others!

When Yu Chengen targeted the target of reinforcement on Dugu Wanrong, he let out a sneer in his heart.

Since the new emperor ascended to the pole, although Jing Xuan, who has been pressing Wanrong in the harem, is dead, Wanrong, who is the only noble concubine, is similar to his situation in Yu Chengen, and seems to be favored and trusted by the emperor, but in fact there is a hidden crisis. Not to mention the two concubines of the Zheng family and the Ashina family who were promoted to Chang'an as soon as the emperor returned to Chang'an, only to say that the cherry blossom who was promoted by the emperor to Bao Zhaoyi was not a person who had lived under the people for a long time with Yu Chengen's old and sharp eyes. Wanrong's desire to take charge of the harem alone, just like her intention to monopolize the power of the court, is gradually becoming the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror under the control of the emperor.

But if he and Wanrong can join hands and echo and care for each other in the front dynasty and harem, the situation will change significantly. After all, Wanrong is not only the most respected concubine in the harem, but also the only concubine in the harem who has suffered with the emperor, and she is an important minister who has the merit of saving the driver, although the emperor is wary of the two of them, but in the current situation, they are inseparable from the dedicated assistance of the two of them.

Since Dugu Wanrong is the most suitable and most likely candidate to be his own reinforcement, the next step for Cheng En is to build a strong bond and bridge between him and Dugu Wanrong.

Since the experience and lessons of the last time, Yu Chengen knew in his heart that it was difficult to satisfy Wanrong's growing appetite just by transporting gold and silver treasures to Yaohua Palace. He must find another way to establish an alliance between himself and Wanrong as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yu Chengen to find a way to stay in close contact with Wanrong.

Soon after Lai Xing'er left Beijing, Dugu Wanrong's brother Dugu Hun took the initiative to come to the door to ask to see Yu Chengen, and he found a position for himself in the Shenhe Army, which made Yu Chengen overjoyed.

It turned out that benefiting from Yu Cheng'en leading the Crane Army to welcome the emperor to the camp of the Crane Army in Shaanzhou on the way east, as soon as the emperor returned to Chang'an, he announced that the Crane Army would be listed as a forbidden army directly controlled by the imperial court, in order to replace the original Qianniuwei and serve as the guard. In this way, Dugu Hun, who had the title of a thousand cattle on his head, had no position, so he had to come to ask Yu Chengen, who was the supervisor of the Divine Crane Army, to find a new messenger for him in the Divine Crane Army.
