Chapter 272 Uncle's Wisdom!

Chapter 272

After drinking a glass of wine, the relationship between the two parties immediately became more harmonious.

It was the first time Wang Chong saw Zhangchou Jianqiong, but his uncle Wang Gen was different. Although the two rarely deal with each other, they are of the same generation, but they have heard about each other for a long time, and they know each other's deeds very well.

Zhangchou Jianqiong even knew that Wang Gen's words were Jiexin. And Wang Gen didn't call him the Great General or the Chief Protector, but Brother Zhangchou.

The two are peers.

"Brother Jiexin!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong put down his wine glass and said sincerely:

"In front of brother Jiexin, I don't need to hide anything. After decades of wind and rain in the frontier, Zhangchou also hopes to change places. The capital is important, and there are many aristocratic families. Brother Jiexin is an important and veteran minister in the court. For the selection of Minister of War, Zhang Qiu very much hopes to be able to sit on it, and also hopes that Brother Wang can give some advice. Zhang Qiu must be very grateful."

In a word, the entire third floor was suddenly quiet, and all eyes fell on Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen. The style of soldiers likes to get straight to the point and get straight to the point. Although Zhang Qiu Jianqiong is extremely ambitious, it is obviously the same.

One of the purposes of this banquet was to make friends with Wang Gen and connect with the Wang family. But what Zhangchou Jianqiong cared about the most, and what he cared about the most, was the affairs of the Minister of War.

"Brother Zhangchou is serious."

Wang Gen stroked his beard with a thoughtful expression on his face. He was not surprised by Zhangchou Jianqiong's interrogation. Since he came to the meeting, Wang Gen expected that Zhangchou Jianqiong would ask this question:

"Brother Zhangchou decided Dingding Jiannan and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. With this qualification, it is completely enough to enter the Ministry of War. Based on my experience, Brother Zhangchou has only four or four hopes of entering the atrium this time. become."

"Four percent?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong's eyes moved, and his disappointment could not be concealed. Despite the 40% hope, it is obviously not enough to want to enter the atrium.

This was not what Zhangchou Jianqiong wanted to hear, but Zhangchou Jianqiong also knew that Wang Gen was an important minister in the court, and it was impossible to lie to him about this kind of matter.

This is also the reason why he respects Wang Gen's attitude extremely.

"Is it only 40%? Please brother Jiexin give me advice on what to do in the future? Zhangchou will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

Zhangchou Jianqiongcheng said.

"Chou Jianqiong's thoughts in this chapter... are more urgent than I imagined."

Wang Chong watched coldly, secretly thinking in his heart.

An existence of Zhangchou Jianqiong's level kept his promise, and made such a promise, which must be fulfilled in the future. This kind of words can be said in private, but Zhangchou Jianqiong's urgency can also be seen here.

Maybe it's because I've waited too long, or maybe I know this is my last chance. Wang Chong could tell that Zhangchou Jianqiong had already put his all into this "Shangshu of the Ministry of War" in some respects.

"In vain, I wondered if there would be a 1 in 10,000 chance to keep Zhangchou Jianqiong in Jiannan, but now it seems absolutely impossible."

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Zhangchou Jianqiong is the cornerstone of the southeast of the empire. A considerable part of what will happen in the future is also because Zhangchou Jianqiong, the iron-blooded and tough general guard, left Jiannan and entered the atrium.

Without the suppression of strong figures like Zhangchou Jianqiong, Jiannan is empty, and facing such powerful enemies as Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang, the impact can be imagined.

Zhangchou Jianqiong's transfer, being in charge of the atrium was a blessing to him, but Yu Wusizang and Mengshe Zhao gave them the opportunity to take advantage of the vacancy.

Zhangchou Jianqiong is an extremely powerful commander in the military, but his ambition for power is his biggest weakness in character. But even Wang Chong couldn't say anything.

It is human nature for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places. Zhangchou Jianqiong made up his mind to leave Jiannan, Wang Chong was powerless, Wang Chong could only sigh in his heart.

"Brother Zhangchou is going to Beijing this time, try to keep a low profile as much as possible."

Wang Gen stroked his beard, his face was calm, but his eyes showed political wisdom:

"Brother Zhangchou, do you know where the biggest resistance to this promotion comes from?"

"King Qi? The Yao family?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong probed the way, but he didn't take it seriously, he had already communicated with the two families, whether it was the Yao family or King Qi's, they both expressed their support for him to enter the atrium.

If Wang Gen said it was King Qi and the Yao family, he would never believe it.

But that was exactly the problem. There was obviously no objection to his entry into Beijing, but the matter could not be done for a long time.

"Hehe, no. How could it be them."

Wang Gen smiled, picked up the wine cup on the table, and took a sip:

"It's Fumeng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, and other generals in the army, including Anton's guard Zhang Shougui!"

As soon as the answer came out, Zhangchou Jianqiong and those subordinates from Jiannan were stunned. Even Wang Chong was a little surprised.

He only heard about the affairs of the court, but did not go into details. The matter of Zhangchou Jianqiong has indeed dragged on for a long time.

According to Wang Chong's opinion, it should be that the various forces in the court are unwilling to let Zhangchou Jianqiong, an "outsider", enter Beijing.

But Uncle Wang Gen's words gave another explanation.

Although he was a little surprised at first, after thinking about it for a while, Wang Chong quickly understood.

"Brother Zhangchou, think about it. He is also the Great Protector and General of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of qualifications, whether it is Fumeng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, or Zhang Shougui, they have all made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If Zhang Brother Qiu can enter the main courtyard, but Nafumeng enlightened them, wouldn't it be the same for them?"

Wang Gen stroked his beard, things in the court were not black and white, there was no such list. Zhangchou Jianqiong was good at leading troops in battle, but it wasn't that Wang Gen underestimated him.

Zhangchou Jianqiong had never had any contact with the courtroom. He is really a layman in this area.

For Zhangchou and Qiong's entry into the capital, the opposing forces not only came from the aristocratic families and powerful princes in the capital, but also powerful opposing forces from the military circles.

"They dare!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly. He was just trying to ask, and didn't expect to find anything.

But when he heard about the relationship in the court at this time, his whole face was going dark.

If it was just objections from the capital, and Zhangchou Jianqiong walked around relying on the face of Annan Daduhu, everyone should give some face.

Zhangchou Jianqiong was also sure of persuading them.

The advantage of not being in touch with the court for a long time is that you will never offend any party in the court, and you have no feud with any party.

But if the opposition comes from the army, from the Anxi Governor, the Qixi Governor, and the commander-in-chief of the Great Fighting Army, Shu Han, then the matter of his entry into the atrium will be suspended.

In terms of qualifications and achievements, these people are no worse than him.

He could talk about his military achievements in front of Wang Gen and Yao Guangyi, but in front of Fumeng Lingcha, Zhangchou Jianqiong really had nothing to say.

Moreover, because of Jiannan's long-term non-war relationship, in some respects, Zhangchou Jianqiong is even inferior.

"Master Wang, is there no other way?"

Yang Zhao said anxiously. Even he couldn't sit still. Although this was just Wang Gen's statement, Yang Zhao immediately knew the truth of the matter just by listening to it.

He has also stayed in the capital for a while, and made friends with many ministers. He was still complacent in his heart, thinking that he was familiar with the capital and court of the Tang Dynasty.

But it was only at this time that he realized that he still didn't know anything about the affairs of the court.

"Fumeng Lingcha and Gao Xianzhi have been in Tang Dynasty for many years, and they have connections in the court. But if it's just these few, Brother Zhangchou doesn't need to worry too much. After all, these few people have fatal flaws , it is impossible to compete with brother Zhang Qiu, there are hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty, and there has never been a barbarian's Minister of War. Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in all dynasties."

"What Brother Zhangchou really needs to worry about is that Anton is protecting Zhang Shougui!"

Wang Gen said.

"Buzz!"

The others didn't respond yet, but Zhangchou Jianqiong and the middle-aged man with the mustache-like appearance beside him were startled, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Zhang Shougui, like Brother Zhangchou, is both Han Chinese, and he is also the chief guardian of the empire. He also leads an army alone, and simultaneously suppresses and deals with the Goguryeo Empire, Khitan, Xi, and the Eastern Turkic Khanate. Brother Chou is exactly the same, even more domineering. Brother Zhang Chou wants to be in charge of the atrium, this one is the one who really needs to worry!"

Wang Gen said slowly.

Wang Chong was on the sidelines, but thoughtful in his heart. This is the first time he has come into contact with such a major event involving the promotion of the Minister of War, which almost involves all forces and aspects inside and outside the capital.

It can be said that Zhangchou Jianqiong's promotion this time has experienced the most complicated side of the court.

Politics has always been his weakness, and Wang Chong knew he couldn't interrupt, so he just watched in silence, taking this as his best teaching on court politics.

"Brother Shougui should not be here, right?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong said with a solemn expression.

The name of Zhang Shougui, Anton's governor, was like a shadow cast by a mountain on him. In the military world, there are two people, one in the east and the other in the south, and they do not intersect each other.

But Zhangchou Jianqiong knew that Zhang Shougui's qualifications were actually much deeper than his. Zhangchou Jianqiong's military exploits are mainly concentrated in Annan.

But Zhang Shougui was different. From Uzang to Eastern and Western Turks, and then to Goguryeo and Khitan, this warrior has already shown his extraordinary aptitude since he was young.

And unlike him, Zhang Shougui once had the opportunity to enter the atrium and become the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Although this person is younger and not necessarily older than him, his qualifications are much deeper than that of Annan's Grand Protector.

Even veterans like Fumeng Lingcha and Gao Xianzhi are extremely afraid of him.

If Zhang Shougui wants to compete for the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he will be an unprecedented rival. The only thing Zhangchou Jianqiong feels at ease now is that Zhang Shougui has always aspired to be prime minister, but this point is that his goal is much higher than his.

"It's true that Zhang Shougui's ambition is to look good. But Brother Zhangchou, have you ever thought about what will happen to them if you become Minister of the Ministry of War?"

For a moment, the entire pavilion was silent.

The eyebrows of the counselor next to Zhangchou Jianqiong also slowly frowned. He already understood what Wang Gen meant.

Zhangchou Jianqiong's entry into the atrium has been delayed for so long, not only because of the court's problem, but also because of the frontier. If Zhangchou Jianqiong lived in a corner, there would be no problem.

But once he became Minister of the Ministry of War, it meant that Zhang Shougui, Gao Xianzhi, Fumeng Lingcha, and Ge Shuhan would all be controlled by him.

Therefore, even if these people's aspirations are not in the Minister of the Ministry of War, they will never tolerate Zhang Qiu Jianqiong becoming the new Minister of the Ministry of War.

In terms of interests, these people are completely consistent.

Zhangchou Jianqiong's brows had unknowingly twisted into a Sichuan shape.
