Chapter 1232 What a Pity

Even with all the obstruction from Chong Xuansheng, the search of Qingyang Town was finally decided.

The people who led the investigation were Zhang Weiyu, a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel, and Ma Xiong, a fourth-rank Qingpai police chief.

Ma Xiong was a Qingpai appointed by the Capital Inspection Office to go with him, which was a common practice.

And Zhang Weiyu was really extraordinary.

Under the Qi State Political Affairs Hall, there were three ministries: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Personnel, which were responsible for etiquette, economy, and administration.

Although all political orders came from the Political Affairs Hall, these three ministries, as the executive offices of specific government affairs, had extremely high authority.

The Ministry of Rites was responsible for state affairs, diplomacy, and grand ceremonies. For chambers of commerce such as the Sihai Merchants Alliance and Desheng Merchants, the first office they had to pay homage to was the Ministry of Households. As for the Ministry of Personnel, although it did not have the power to appoint and dismiss officials, it was responsible for the assessment of officials throughout the world. Needless to say, its importance was self-evident.

Specifically speaking of Zhang Weiyu, in terms of cultivation, he was at the peak of the outer building. In terms of his resume, he has delivered a perfect answer sheet in every position along the way.

If you look at his background, this person is from the line of Chen Fu, the court doctor.

In Qi, the nine court doctors and the nine commanders of the nine soldiers of the nine military affairs halls are the highest representatives of power under the emperor. No matter who they are, they are very important.

Zhang Weiyu has all the background, ability, and cultivation. Such a person is certainly not inferior to Chong Xuansheng.

Even he strongly requested a thorough investigation of Jiang Wang, which Chong Xuansheng could not stop.

He and Jiang Wang have never met, and he has no contact with Chong Xuansheng, who has only emerged in the past two years. To say that there is a contradiction, there is actually no contradiction.

It is not like the Bao family and the Chong Xuan family, who have been at odds for many years.

Although the political views of the court doctor Chen Fu and Dingyuan Hou Chong Xuan Chu Liang are somewhat different, they are not political enemies.

So there is no way to talk about personal grudges.

But if you say that it is all out of justice, it is not necessarily.

"What does this Zhang Weiyu mean?"

Li Longchuan, wearing a jade belt, frowned and asked in his own teahouse, where Chong Xuansheng often used it for private gatherings.

Fourteen stood silently on one side, Chong Xuansheng poured tea for them with a smile, and did not speak.

Yan Fu, who was sitting at the south end, said in a gentle voice: "Before this incident, we all knew that His Majesty intended to give Jiang Wang a real position. Which position do you think is best for Jiang Wang in Qi?"

Li Longchuan was gifted, brave, and had a lot of insights in military affairs, and he was not lacking in political acumen. But Qi had a huge territory, controlled overseas, and had garrisons behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters... There were countless positions, and it was really not that easy to think about which one was most suitable for Jiang Wang.

Yan Fu was not as fond of keeping things secret as Chong Xuansheng. Seeing Li Longchuan paused, he said directly: "Of course it is the Northern Ya Commander."

Li Longchuan's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

The Northern Ya Commander, in terms of rank, was only a fourth-rank. But his power is also counted in Linzi, almost only below the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall.

Although Jiang Wang only has the cultivation of the inner court, this is the world's first inner court, which is very important. And he is already a fourth-grade green card, and a third-grade golden gourd warrior. He is really qualified to be the Beiya Duwei!

Although Qi is large, it is really difficult to find a better position that is more suitable for Jiang Wang's level!

Moreover, this position can only be held by the emperor's confidant.

If Jiang Wang can take this position, these rumors and public opinions will not be added. In the future, he will enter the Military Affairs Hall and the Political Affairs Hall, which will open up a smooth road.

Another thing is that the candidates for the appointment of the Beiya Duwei were jointly nominated by the former Beiya Duwei and the Political Affairs Hall, and the emperor personally selected them. The opinions of the former Beiya Duwei are very important.

And who is the current Beiya Duwei?

Zheng Shi!

Zheng Shi has been the Northern Court Commander for many years, and the emperor still trusts him. Of course, he can continue to suppress his cultivation and continue to hold this power, but what is the best choice?

You know, the power of extraordinary cultivators before the God's arrival will decline with the aging of the body. Zheng Shi must leave the Northern Court before his power begins to decline and achieve the God's arrival, otherwise it will delay himself.

In addition, Zheng Shi's son Zheng Shangming is also developing in the Qingpai system now.

But of course he can't pass the post of the Northern Court Commander directly to Zheng Shangming, and it will be difficult to get by in the Political Affairs Hall. Jiang Wang, who is on good terms with Zheng Shangming, is an excellent choice!

With Jiang Wang's talent, even if the power of the Northern Court Commander is great, he will not suppress his strength for it.

In other words, if he becomes the Northern Court Commander, he will not serve for too long.

Zheng Shi is now selling Jiang Wang a good thing, and when Jiang Wang achieves the God's arrival and leaves, it will be just right for Zheng Shangming to take over. Isn't it the most perfect result?

Yan Fu pointed out the position of Bei Ya Du Wei, and Li Longchuan immediately understood it clearly, and couldn't help asking Chong Xuansheng: "Does Zheng Du Wei intend to leave? Does Jiang Wang also intend to take this position?"

The position of Bei Ya Du Wei is really too important!

Even if he is the legitimate son of Shimen Li, he can't ignore it.

"If Zheng Du Wei is not interested, wouldn't it be a waste of time to say this and treat friends as enemies?" Chong Xuansheng smiled and said: "For Zheng Du Wei, it would be a great choice to untie the shackles and take a step forward now. He also did some things intentionally or unintentionally to pave the way for Jiang Wang. It's just that Jiang Wang, this fool, can't see it clearly. I didn't have time to tell him."

"Ah." Li Longchuan sighed: "What a pity."

Jiang Wang's disappearance has missed such a crucial position as Bei Ya Du Wei, which is a pity.

He was awarded the title of the third-rank Golden Gourd Warrior, which can be regarded as entering the upper echelons of Qi. But it is just a name without substance, and his weight is actually questionable. If he can serve as the Northern Ya Commander, it will be very different. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has entered the power center of Qi!

This is a step to heaven!

With the favor of the emperor, the support of Zheng Shi, and deep popularity, after the offering of gifts to the Taimiao, the right time, right place, and right people are all there. But Jiang Wang happened to have such a thing at this moment.

Of course it is a pity.

Yan Fu whispered: "You think it's a pity, but some people think it's gratifying, so the problem comes."

At this point, Li Longchuan can of course understand why Zhang Weiyu jumped out.

Zhang Weiyu, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, is a fourth-rank official, with the peak cultivation of the outer building, a beautiful resume, and a deep background... He is also very suitable for the position of the Northern Ya Commander!

But there is only one position. If Jiang Wang can't go down, who can come up?

There was no conflict between the two sides, but when one carrot and one pit, it is not uncommon for life and death to become enemies.

It is about such an important position as the Northern Court Commander. Even the person behind Zhang Weiyu, the court doctor Chen Fu, will not take it lightly.

No wonder Chong Xuansheng, on the grounds of Tianjiao's dignity, obstructed in every possible way, but failed to stop the thorough investigation of Qingyang Town.

Facing the ladder to heaven, Zhang Weiyu must do his best.

Li Longchuan thought about it, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Brother Chong Xuan, they insist on investigating Qingyang Town, and you oppose it so fiercely. Is there really a problem with Qingyang Town?"

Chong Xuansheng looked at him, smiling: "Jiang Wang is not in the country now. His image can be dressed up by anyone. Brother Li, what do you think?"

Chong Xuansheng and Li Longchuan are both good friends of Jiang Wang. They are all true friends who are willing to stand up when Jiang Wang is in trouble.

But there are also differences between them.

They are both from generals, top families, and direct descendants of hereditary marquises. Their feelings towards the country and their loyalty to the emperor are different.

Jiang Wang helped Yin Guan enter Linzi to repay his life-saving debt. Chong Xuansheng knew about it and helped deal with Yuan Run, and also caused trouble for Chong Xuanzun.

If it was Li Longchuan who knew about this at the time, he would definitely stop Jiang Wang.

In this world, everyone has their own ideas, their own lives and demands.

Even the best friends can't always be consistent.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences is naturally the truth, but if there are "differences" that cannot coexist, even the best friends can only cut ties sometimes.

Chong Xuansheng did not answer Li Longchuan's question, but asked him if he was willing to believe Jiang Wang without reservation.

Li Longchuan has his own principles. He is willing to believe Jiang Wang, and he has proved it many times before... but not without reservation.

The atmosphere in the tea room suddenly became solemn after Chong Xuansheng's question was thrown out.

"Speaking of which..." Yan Fu said at this time: "Where is Jiang Wang now?"

Zhong Xuansheng retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "I told him not to come back yet, to go around and play!"

"It seems that Brother Zhongxuan has made up his mind, so I am relieved."

Yan Fu smiled and stood up and said: "Miss Wen is still waiting for me to go boating, so I will go first."

He looked at Li Longchuan: "Where is Brother Li?"

Li Longchuan nodded slightly, and also stood up and said: "Since there is nothing else, I should go back. My sister came back recently and urged me to be diligent."

Yan Fu had already walked out, and turned back to Zhong Xuansheng and smiled: "Tell Jiang Qingyang to have fun, spend as much as you want, and come back to me to settle the bill!"
