Chapter 822 Court Contest, the Choice of the Governor! (2)

Chapter 822

"I propose that General Luo Albus take up the position of the guardian of Qixi! The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and his strength is no less than that of Fumeng Lingcha. I think that with him, Qixi will be safe forever."

Hao Yushi walked out of the train and said with a straight face.

"Buzz!"

In the main hall, General Tong Luo was watching coldly, but when he heard Hao Yushi's words, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and his whole face changed. Song Wang and Qi Wang were arguing there, he listened well, never thought that the flames of war would burn himself.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Albus knelt down on the hall with a cry, his head bowed:

"The Tongluo family has been guarding the king since His Majesty Dazong, and Abusi is willing to always guard by His Majesty's side and never stay away. Hao Yushi's heart, I understand it!"

Afterwards, Albus paled a lot.

Although Qixi Chief Protector is a high-ranking Juelong and has a very important position, but now this position has become the target of public criticism. I don't know how many people are ambitious and want to snatch this position. Even royal family members such as King Song and King Qi also participated in it. Hao Yushi recommending him at this time is no less than carrying him to the fire to roast.

What's more, although the position of the chief guardian is high, how can it compare with the king's close servant. Fumeng Lingcha spent so much energy trying to sneak into the capital and get close to the king, so why would he do the opposite and go as far as Qixi?

Hao Yushi interrupted King Song and King Qi to recommend General Albus, but Albus was unwilling, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became active, and everyone was eager to move.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Yu Zhongtong, the chief protector."

At this moment, Yang Zhao jumped out suddenly and said with a straight face. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Master Yang, are you kidding me? Xianyu Zhongtong is already the governor of Southwest China. Isn't that enough? Do you still want him to hold several positions? According to your thinking, can I still recommend Anton the governor Zhang Shougui, An Sishun, General of Beiting, and General Gao Xianzhi of Anxi?"

Liu Shao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood beside a huge Panlong pillar, and said with a gloomy expression.

"Hmph, why is Xianyu Zhongtong the same as the other chief protectors? Now in the southwest, the Mengshezhao Empire has completely surrendered, and the Uzang Empire's Ali royal family has also completely collapsed.

For at least a few decades, the sun will fade away, and there will be no way to make a comeback. The entire Southwest is now peaceful and without war. Can Anton's Protectorate manage to do this? Can Beiting Dufu Mansion do it? So why not Xianyu Zhongtong? "

With his head held high, Yang Zhao said confidently:

"Furthermore, Xianyu Zhongtong is the Chief Protector himself. Assuming the position of the Chief Protector of Qixi, he is absolutely foolproof and capable. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty!"

In the main hall, everyone watched coldly and sneered. No one of the crowd could understand Yang Zhao's thoughts. It was clearly that people from the Southwest branch wanted to get involved in the Northwest and expand their power.

"Your Majesty, I propose that the Duke of Guo State Chai Zhiyi, and the Duke of Tan State confer Zhiru!"

Yang Zhao and Liu Shao were still arguing, and another voice suddenly sounded from another position of His Highness. Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing held on to the banhu, and suddenly said:

"Guo Guogong and Tan Guogong, both of their ancestors were the founding heroes of their country. Their ancestors followed Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Taizong to conquer the world. They are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and have no second thoughts. Moreover, both of them are the families of generals. The art of war and martial arts has been passed down from generation to generation, and with them serving as the governor of Qixi, His Majesty will be able to sit back and relax."

Hearing Zhou Jing's words, the whole hall suddenly became quieter, and even Yang Zhao, who was eager to expand his influence, kept his mouth shut, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Founding father!

As long as these three words appear anywhere, it will definitely become extremely difficult, and all relevant parties will definitely become full of fear. The reason is very simple. In Datang, the founding father no longer referred to one family or two, but a group of ancient and huge forces. They have been in business since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. They have a long history and deep roots. They have deep roots in the Tang Dynasty and are inextricably integrated with the royal family.

Although those founding fathers have gradually declined now, and no longer live up to the glory of their ancestors, no one in Datang dared to underestimate them.

Zhou Jing recommended Chai Zhiyi, Duke of Guo State, and Feng Zhiru, Duke of Tan State. If he said that there was no one behind him, no one would believe him. What is difficult for everyone to grasp now is whether Zhou Jing is behind the meaning of a family or the whole group of founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty. But no matter which one it is, it means a huge change behind it, that is, the group of founding fathers who have been silent for a long time began to slowly emerge, hoping to re-display their hands and feet in the military, and the seat of Qixi Chief Protector is A fantastic opportunity.

When it comes to this force, everyone finds it very difficult.

Half of the court fell silent immediately. Many ministers who originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to recommend their cronies were hesitant to speak and wanted to speak, but they were full of fear.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Zhengbei, General of the Frontier Fortress!"

It was at this time that everyone suddenly heard an abrupt voice. Hearing this voice, Zhou Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was furious. Both the Feng family and the Chai family were deeply rooted forces in the court. He had been preparing for this court meeting for a long time, but he never thought that there would be someone like this It's time to step in and interrupt him.

"Bastard! I want to see who is deliberately going against the Feng family and the Chai family at this time..."

Zhou Jing turned his head violently, and looked at it bitterly. Just looking at it, Zhou Jing was stunned.

Zhao Xun!

Zhou Jing originally thought that the one who dared to go against him because he used the words Feng Family and Chai Family was at least a minister or servant of a certain six departments, or at least a second-rank, or even a second-rank, or a first-rank He is an important official, but he never expected that he would be a small official from the third rank. Zhao Zang is just a small member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, at least two ranks behind him.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that although the official Zhao Xun is small, everyone in the court knows the person behind Zhao Xun.

"Elder Prince!"

A thought flashed through Zhou Jing's mind, and his expression changed immediately:

"Could it be that the first imperial prince wants to get involved with this Qixi chief protector?!"

It was at this time that Zhou Jing suddenly remembered that the general Zhao Yan was talking about, there had always been rumors in the court that he had joined the First Prince and became one of the generals under the First Prince's tent, but there had never been a general in the court. Evidence. Moreover, the eldest prince and Zhang Zhengbei have never had any contact, and there is no evidence of close contact between the two, so no one takes it seriously.

But now everything is different, if Zhao Zang's words were meant by the eldest prince, then this matter will be tricky. Although the forces represented by the Feng family and the Chai family were the oldest and most entrenched factions in the Tang Dynasty, the First Prince was the candidate for the future Tang Emperor, the successor of the Sage Emperor. It is extremely unwise to fight against the future Holy Emperor for the sake of the Great Protector of Qixi.

"This is troublesome!"

For a moment, Zhou Jing frowned deeply. Obviously, things have changed, and this scene was something he had never expected before. And what Zhou Jing could think of, the other officials obviously thought of it too. Even the two Tang princes, Song Wang and Qi Wang, couldn't help frowning.

"What is Yinger trying to do?"

King Song frowned, silent in his heart. Hearing the voice of Zhao Xun in his ears, he continued:

"...Zhang Zhengbei has guarded the frontier fortress for seven or eight years, and has been active in Beiting. In one year, he repelled seventy or eighty attacks by the Turks, and he actively rescued other frontier castles. In the section he guarded, the Turkic people He is so fearful that he dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool easily. Moreover, Zhang Zhengbei also made great contributions to the campaign against the North launched by An Sishun, the general guard of Beiting last year. He killed the most soldiers and horses of the Western Turkic Khanate and captured He also has the largest number of troops, and he is an active main fighter against the Western Turks. My minister believes that if Zhang Zhengbei is selected as the governor of Qixi, he will definitely be able to reject Uzbek in the west, reject the Turks in the east, and stabilize the status quo in Qixi.”

"Hmph, Zhao Zang, are you talking nonsense? What is the position of the Chief Protector of Qixi? Can anyone stand in his way? Is it true that anyone who has made some achievements in the frontier can hold the position of Chief Protector? Don't you Do you think that the imperial generals of the Western Turkic Khanate are just decorations? Zhang Zhengbei is so powerful, why didn’t he break into the tooth tent of the Western Turkic Khanate? If the Western Turkic Khanate marches westward and Qixi falls, you will bear the responsibility Is it worth it? Is a war at the frontier level the same as a war at the imperial general level? It’s just child’s play!"

At this moment, an unceremonious voice sounded. Not far from Zhao Xun, Ye Zhun, a third-rank official from the household department who was about the same status as him, suddenly stood up. Ye Zhun was about thirty-six, with a fair complexion and long and narrow eyes. Not only his age, but also his position on the shift was the same as Zhao Xun.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Zhao Zang for his dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty! For such an important position as the governor of Qixi, Zhao Zang actually recommended a small frontier general. He really has bad intentions, and I think he should be killed!"

The sentence "should be killed" immediately drew swords in the hall, and the atmosphere was tense. A normal court discussion about the candidate for the governor of Qixi was suddenly filled with smoke and completely changed its flavor.

"Ye Zhun, what nonsense are you talking about. Zhang Zhengbei is proficient in Hu language and has many Hu generals under his command. He has a unique advantage in controlling the Hu people. With him as the governor of Qixi, he can naturally convince the crowd, making Hu Han is united as one. Isn’t this very good? It’s you, Ye Zhun, talking nonsense here. Your Majesty, I want to impeach Ye Zhun for disturbing the court. I have no eyes on the king, please punish me severely!”

Zhao Xun's face was flushed by Ye Zhun's words, and he couldn't help saying angrily.
