Chapter 221: Slip without leaving your hands, and stand up

"The candidate for the new leader of the Cao Gang should be discussed by the Governor's Mansion and you, this king is about to leave Yangzhou, this matter is no longer relevant to this king, and this king doesn't want to ask too much, Brother Shen should go and ask the person who should be asked." Li Xuan shook his head, and even took a step back, putting on a posture that he didn't want to participate in the slightest.

The corners of Shen Zhuang's mouth twitched slightly.

Nothing to do with you?

If it really has nothing to do with you, how was the former gang leader of the Cao Gang arrested?

Shen Zhuang looked sideways at Lu Yuanfang and Wang Zhe on the side, both of them looked like they were hanging high, and they didn't help him say a word at all.

Shen Zhuang could only step forward again: "The prince is polite, everyone in the Cao Gang is guilty, but there is a priority for the crime, although now because of urgency, I have to make the crime, but we also need to be extremely cautious, choose the person with the least responsibility, and temporarily take charge of the Cao Gang, it is appropriate."

"Why, can this king still be able to see here whose guilt is shallow and whose guilt is heavy?" Li Xuan snorted coldly, and Shen Zhuang immediately kept arching his hand with a sneering face.

Shen Zhuang was not a person who could speak well, and now he didn't know what to say.

Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "Brother Shen, as you said before, these three people can only be temporary, who is the ultimate leader of the Cao Gang, this is not something you and I can decide, or even Dou Changshi, this needs the approval of the palace to make a decision."

Although the leader of the Cao Gang is only the head of a civil organization, there are 100,000 strong men, and no emperor dares to ignore them arbitrarily.

Not to mention that the Cao Gang is involved in Cao Yun, a little turmoil, and all the officials in Beijing will be affected.

Therefore, the matter of the Cao Gang leader must be cautious.

Especially at this sensitive time.

"What the prince said is very true, but this matter still needs the prince's kind words." Shen Zhuang arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Back then, Xu Ji was able to become the leader of the Cao Gang, mostly relying on the words of the king of Hejian County, but now, the weight of the prince is not under the king of Hejian County back then......

"In that year, Uncle Hejian attacked Bashu, captured Zhu Cang, defeated Xiao Milling, appeased Lingnan, broke the auxiliary Gongyou, and pacified Jiangnan, so he entered the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor, Zong Zhengqing, and the Ministry of Rites.

When Li Xuan said this, he looked at Shen Zhuang with a smile: "Brother Shen, are you blind, or are you deliberately killing this king?"

"The lower officials don't dare." Shen Zhuang was startled, hurriedly stepped back and arched his hand, and said in a deep voice, "It's the lower official who lost his words."

Li Xuan glanced at Shen Zhuang deeply and said, "You just said that whoever is guilty of shallow guilt can take over, no, it is to temporarily take over as the leader of the Cao Gang, so in this way, you have already chosen a successor, and looking for this king is just a formality?"

"Of course not!" Shen Zhuang hurriedly arched his hand, his face full of panic.

There was even more awe-inspiring in his heart, the privacy behind this matter was unexpectedly broken by Li Xuan's words, and Shen Zhuang's heart immediately sank.

"Let the king guess." Li Xuan's gaze fell on Jiang Hun, Wei Peng and Yan Shen not far away, and said with a smile: "Jiang Hun is Xu Ji's disciple after all, and Wei Peng is his son-in-law, only Yan Shen has the farthest relationship with him, if you look at it purely from this point of view, you should choose Yan Shen."

The corners of Shen Zhuang's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he nodded and said, "Don't dare to deceive the prince, the people we are considering are indeed cautious, although there have been many discussions, but in the end, it is for the sake of stability, after all, Xu Ji's matter cannot happen a second time."

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, and at this time, he looked at Jiang Hun, Wei Peng and Yan Shen again.

When the three of them saw that Li Xuan couldn't see it, they immediately bowed respectfully.

It was at this moment that three entries popped up on the heads of the three people.

[Jiang Hun, a native of Yangzhou, the head of the Cao Gang Shipping Hall, and the head of the Cao Gang Xu Ji's first apprentice, is square and bold, and is not informal. 】

[Wei Peng, a person from Huaibei, the head of the Cao Gang Weaving Hall, and the son-in-law of Xu Ji, the leader of the Cao Gang, is resourceful and wise, and has a unique vision. 】

[Strict and cautious, Muzhou people's clan, Cao Gang Dragon and Tiger Hall Master

, is insidious and deceitful, first-class swordsmanship, and is a disciple of An Rongxiang, the four elders of the Tianyin Sect. 】

Li Xuan's brows couldn't help jumping.

The prompt entry showed a key role at this moment, and he even directly exposed Yan Shen's secret identity.

Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but be cold, He Chang, the master of the Cao Gang's General Affairs Hall, colluded with the Tianyin Sect, transferred ordnance, and smuggled women, and finally caused a disaster, and finally let Li Xuan almost uproot the entire Cao Gang.

If after this, the Yangzhou family finally selected the successor of the Cao Gang leader, Yan Shen, the master of the Cao Gang Dragon and Tiger Hall, turned out to be the disciple of An Rongxiang, the four elders of the Tianyin Sect.

This move is really deeply buried!

It was equivalent to them tossing and turning, and in the end, the Tianyin Sect's control of the Cao Gang was even better.

If Li Xuan agreed with this, it would be equivalent to him personally sending the Cao Gang to the hands of the Tianyin Sect.

Even in the future, once something happens, you have to take responsibility.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel glad in his heart, if it weren't for the prompt entry, he would really fall into it.

An Rongxiang's calculations were deep, and Li Xuan really felt terrible.

However, this is also because he only has three days in Yangzhou, if there is more time, let him have more contact with Yan Shen, then even if there is no prompt entry, Li Xuan can see the problem on him.

"This king is taught by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven that this world affairs are headed by filial piety." Li Xuan looked at Lu Yuanfang, Wang Zhe and Shen Zhuang with calm eyes, and as soon as the three of them heard Li Xuan mention Li Zhi and Wuhou, they immediately bowed down and listened to the lesson: "Zhou Gong has a saying, whether it is in the palace or in the place, it is appropriate, this is the opinion of this king.

You can inform Dou Changshi, or you can send a message to the center, but this king is up to his decision."

Hearing Li Xuan say this, Shen Zhuang's face sank slightly, and then his brows furrowed.

The reason why the four families in Yangzhou chose Yan Shen is because Yan Shen has not yet married.

In this way, they can marry the women of the clan to Yan Shen, and through the marriage contract, they can deeply bind and control Yan Shen, and they can also control the Cao Gang even more.

But Li Xuan's words made Shen Zhuang and the wishful thinking of the four major families in Yangzhou directly come to naught.

However, in an instant, Shen Zhuang adjusted his mentality, and the three of them appeared here today, in fact, because all three of them had the possibility of being wooed.

Yan Shen is because he is unmarried, but Jiang Hun, his son seems to have reached the marriageable age, although it is one layer apart, it is not much worse.

"The words of the prince are kept in mind." Shen Zhuang gave his hand seriously, and his words also made Lu Yuanfang and Wang Zhe a little surprised.

The Shen family succumbed to Li Xuan's opinion so easily, although there may be other means, but it is too different for the Shen family to bend down so easily.

After a slight pause, Shen Zhuang continued: "Jiang Hun is the elder, he can succeed as the leader of the Cao Gang, what about Yan Shen, can he take over Jiang Hun's position?"

"This is the internal affairs of the Cao Gang, and it is inconvenient for this king to interfere." Li Xuan glanced at Shen Zhuang deeply, and said in a deep voice, "At this time, it is better for the Shen family to interfere."

Shen Zhuang's movements came to a complete pause.

Inexplicably, his back was cold, and then he said to Li Xuan with a solemn face, "Thank you for your advice."

Wang Zhe and Lu Yuanfang's faces became solemn at the same time, they are not novices in officialdom, how could they not understand the subtext in Li Xuan's words.

Although Yan Shen seems to be quite suitable to become the next leader of the Cao Gang, in fact, he has a lot of problems.

Lu Yuanfang's eyes jumped instantly, and he didn't know what he thought, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "What the prince said is very true, the matter of the Cao Gang, we really shouldn't get involved too much, the Governor's Mansion has its own rules, if the Cao Gang follows the rules, it will be fine, and if it makes a mistake, it will be severely punished by its own laws."

"Uncle Shi is wise." Li Xuan's gaze crossed Lu Yuanfang, fell on the three people over there, and said in a low voice: "The internal affairs of the Cao Gang will be solved by the Cao Gang themselves, and the problems of the Cao Gang are best solved by the Cao Gang themselves, so as not to get into trouble."

"Whoa!" The three people present gave their hands at the same time,

Li Xuan had already explained everything very thoroughly, and they old foxes naturally knew what to do.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the boat behind Li Xuan

Li Xuan turned around, and he saw He Zhizhang, Wang Yan, Meng Qingran, and Xu Zhizhi coming down from the boat one after another.

Standing on the shore, the four of them bowed seriously to a cyan-robed figure on the boat at the same time.

That was Wang Bo Prince An.

Wang Bo, who is a scholar and a scholar, is also poor and strong, and does not fall into the ambition of the clouds.

Compared with He Zhizhang, Wang Yan, Meng Qingran, and Xu Zhizhi's respect, Lu Yuanfang, Shen Zhuang and Wang Zhe are much calmer, they have official positions after all.

I don't know what Wang Bo and He Zhizhang said, but there is no doubt that He Zhizhang and others admired Wang Bo even more.

At this moment, He Zhizhang suddenly saw Li Xuan, and arched his hand and said: "The prince is now bidding farewell to Yangzhou, he will return again one day, I don't know what year and month it will take, the students are presumptuous, I don't know if I can ask the prince to express his feelings and compose a poem for admiration."

From the last banquet to the present, He Zhizhang always wants to explore Li Xuan's details.
