Chapter 577: A Good Servant Chooses the Lord to Serve
Although Xing Tianze's voice was not very loud, but after Liu Wen finished speaking, the entire front hall of the Five Princes' Mansion fell into silence, so the voice made by the Five Princes was still extremely loud, as if it was locked in the depths of the hearts of the three people present.
At this moment, Xing Tianze was full of deep thought, he was thinking about one thing, what was the attitude of the Liu family, of course, the situation, although Liu Wen's language was very thorough, but it had not yet reached the point that the fifth prince wanted.
Suddenly, Xing Tianze took a deep look at Liu Wen, as if he wanted to see the latter thoroughly from the outside to the inside, in fact, no one knew that at this moment, the fifth prince was holding a scale in his heart, measuring what kind of weight the latter's official book had.
Before Chen Lin, the officials and books of the Criminal Zhao Kingdom were all secretly in Xing Tianze's hands, but due to the struggle between the fifth prince and the emperor, this position has changed six or seven people in just three years.
Through many previous events, it has been shown that having the official department and the book in hand can indeed bring a lot of convenience, and the official department and the household department, as well as the criminal department and the military department, are the four most important official positions among the seven departments of the court.
In addition, the three official positions such as the Ministry of Rites did not play a big role in Xing Tianze's play, so he and Wuxian never thought about fighting for them, so they have been letting these four Shangshu jump over and fly over in this game.
And at this moment, Xing Tianze's heart is still thinking about one thing, although the official department Shangshu has a lot of power, and above the court of Xing Zhaoguo, it can be regarded as the top existence among the second-grade officials, but if you want to fight for a Liu Wen and help the entire Liu family to the ranks of the first-class families in the capital, the road seems to be a little too cost-effective, not to mention the manpower, material resources and energy that need to be invested, not to mention, and if you are not careful, it will even affect the layout in the future.
In fact, when Liu Wen had just succeeded as the secretary of the ministry, Xing Tianze and Wuxian investigated everything about the former clearly, and they knew very clearly how upright this person was, and the former was just a prefect in Yangzhou.
About 20 years ago, he was still in high school, and the champion of liberal arts at that time was originally in the capital to hold an official position, but because he was too clean and unaccustomed to the situation of forming a party among the officials, running a private office, and protecting each other, he was ostracized after participating in the emperor many times, and finally fell to the end of going to Yangzhou to serve as a system.
Xing Tianze asked himself, it was actually hard for him to believe that a person like Liu Wen would actually make the idea of wanting a team in the court one day? This is really incredible, and there is such a person as a chess piece on the chessboard, and the fifth prince believes that he will have many unexpected gains in the future.
Just after these thoughts flashed in his heart one by one, Xing Tianze nodded lightly at Liu Wen, signaling that if he didn't have anything else, he could sit down first.
Three of the four families who came here today have already made their positions clear, so the eyes of everyone present are on you, and they are on Zhao Xian, who has been silent since he sat down.
In fact, in the eyes of the five princes, it seems that the Zhao family has always belonged to that kind of dispensable existence, first putting aside their family's clear position and position, Zhao Xian's identity is too sensitive after all, and his official position is the lord of the palace Yulin Army, that is, the most important and the last barrier around the emperor.
Therefore, it is impossible for the emperor to throw it out as a chess piece in any case, and let Xing Tianze knead it wantonly, and Zhao Xian's son Zhao Tian had a very unpleasant affair with the fifth prince before, so the latter did not have the slightest idea of recruiting the Zhao family.
Although the Zhao family has the military power of 30,000 Yulin Army in their hands? In terms of ordinary people, the existence of the Yulin Army is like a very strong mountain, which cannot be shaken no matter what, and it is precisely because of this thing in his hands that Zhao Xian can lead the family to mix among the second-rate families in the capital.
But in Xing Tianze's eyes, 30,000 soldiers are really too insignificant, and compared with the battle-hardened elite soldiers in his hands, the Yulin Army looks like a group of stragglers, or even a rabble.
But just when Xing Tianze was about to say something, Zhao Xian took the initiative to stand up and salute the five princes, and then only said one sentence, and the good minister chose the master to serve.
Almost suddenly, Xing Tianze and Wuji's brows slowly wrinkled, and Chen Hong and Liu Wen on the side looked at Zhao Xian with a look of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that these words came out of his mouth.
However, Xing Tianze and Wuxian were not ordinary people after all, they quickly recovered from the shock, and after slowly glancing at Zhao Xian, the two looked at each other very quickly, and each of them saw a look of relief from each other's eyes.
From Zhao Xian's body, they finally understood, in a word, what is the meaning that there is no absolute loyalty in this world, it is just that the temptation has not reached the qualification to make people think whimsically.
Xing Tianze slowly waved his hand and asked Zhao Xian to sit down, asking a few people, if there is nothing else, then please leave first, there are still some complicated trivial matters in the Five Kings' Mansion that need to be dealt with, so it is not so convenient to greet them.
Although Xing Tianze didn't say it explicitly, the people present were not stupid, and they could hear a very strong smell of the eviction order from his words.
So the three of them slowly stood up, saluted Xing Tianze together, and then slowly left the front hall of the Five Princes' Mansion, anyway, the purpose of their coming today has been achieved, and it is enough to be able to show the meaning of their hearts to the Five Princes face to face, so that he can clearly know the position of their respective families.
As for whether they can reach an agreement with Xing Tianze within today, it is not the thing that several of them are looking forward to the most.
After everyone left, Xing Tianze picked up the teacup again and drank the tea, and at this moment, Wuxian suddenly stood up and joked with a smile, the fifth prince is really a fragrant meatloaf now, there are so many people in the capital who are struggling and rushing to eat.
Xing Tianze shook his head helplessly, but anyone who has been able to mix in the capital for so long is not an ordinary ordinary person, they know very well what the situation in the city is now, and once they really pass through the Five Princes' Mansion and make their own family become a first-class family in the capital, what can their face be counted?
