C290 Subtlety

The man who said that, with a square face, was sitting in the first row, right Prime Minister Wei Yan.

Everyone knew that the left and right prime ministers didn't get along, so when he spoke now, many people weren't surprised.

Xuan Wuchen felt relieved when he heard his words.

The Right Prime Minister supported him. The fact that he didn't speak just now made him very anxious.

No matter what, he couldn't let the Duke of Qin take advantage of him.

Moreover, the Ancestor didn't like Qin Zheng. As long as there were other suitable candidates, he wouldn't choose Qin Zheng.

"Oh, then what suggestions do you have?" The Ancestor asked.

"This official believes that the Great Minister of War Huo Zhangfeng is the most suitable." Wei Yan said, "The Great Minister of War has worked hard and contributed a lot. All these years, it has been doing its utmost for the Imperial Court. It is enough to make everyone submit to it."

Everyone was somewhat puzzled. The Great Minister of War had always been at odds with Wei Yan, so how could they recommend him today?

Following which, some people understood the mystery behind this, and their expressions became extremely interesting.

The Great Minister of War was the leader of the army, and he was in charge of the military, politics, and military affairs. He held a high position in the army.

Huo Zhangfeng was surveying the border today, so he wasn't able to participate in today's meeting.

If he could be conferred the title of King with a different surname, then his children and grandchildren would inherit the throne.

However, if Great Minister of War was conferred the title of King with a different surname, he would definitely lose his military power.

The Right Prime Minister recommended Huo Zhangfeng to be the King with a different surname this time. Presumably, he wanted to push Zheng Jingyuan to the position of Great Minister of War.

This way, the Crown Prince would have a guarantee of inheriting the throne.

As long as the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, he could just find an excuse to demote Huo Zhangfeng from the King with a different surname to a commoner.

This move seemed to be selfless, but in reality, it was extremely sinister and cunning.

Now, everyone wanted to fight for the King with a different surname, but he had temporarily given up on the benefits in front of him. The fact that he was able to think for so long made people admire his shrewdness.

It was creepy just thinking about being an opponent for such a person.

Yu Shibo faintly smiled. He had already seen through Wei Yan's trick.

"According to the contribution of the Great Minister of War, Huo Zhangfeng, he will be conferred the title of King with a different surname. I have no objections. " He said with a clear voice, "However, Brother Huo's position is extremely important right now. If we give him the title of King with a different surname... As for how to transfer military power, there is no suitable candidate right now. "

He glanced at the Ancestor and continued, "Why don't we follow my previous suggestion and slightly change it? We'll just let the Duke of Qin manage the Royal City of Chiang Family temporarily and wait for the army. When someone who can take over the position of Great Minister of War appears, we'll take over the Royal City of Chiang Family. Just give it to Huo Zhangfeng."

Someone nodded. This was a good idea.

However, if it was not decided today, no one knew when it would be in the future.

"Prime Minister Zuo is wrong." Wei Yan laughed lightly, "The Daxuan army is full of talents and many good generals. As long as we give them a chance, I'm sure they won't disappoint us."

Someone immediately agreed. The Right Prime Minister had many supporters.

"Oh, if that's the case, who does the Right Prime Minister think can take the responsibility?" Yu Shibo asked.

Although some people guessed it, they still wanted to verify their own thoughts.

"It's not convenient for me to talk about military matters. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, it's better not to recommend it." Wei Yan said, "As for the other ministers, if there are suitable ones, they can naturally recommend them to the Ancestor. Everything will be decided by the Ancestor."

Xuan Wuyu secretly cursed the old fox. Now, he wanted Huo Zhangfeng to become a King with a different surname, and then push his own people to the position of Great Minister of War. This was really a good idea.

On the surface, the others thought that he was selfless.

Moreover, he directly shifted the topic to the right person to recommend the Great Minister of War, which made the matter of the king of the different surnames fade away.

As long as someone was recognized as the next Great Minister of War, Huo Zhangfeng would definitely be conferred the title of King with a different surname.

This method was really high, it was truly wonderful.

"This official believes that Soldier General Zheng Jingyuan." A person said, "He has been in the army for so many years and has rich experience in leading troops. He has a lot of prestige in the army and is worthy of this position."

Xuan Wuyu curled his lips. He was another henchman of the Crown Prince.

As long as Zheng Jingyuan was promoted to the position of Great Minister of War, it was only a matter of time before the Crown Prince became the Emperor.

Currently, Huo Zhangfeng was in the neutral position, but because he had been at odds with the Right Prime Minister, he was regarded as a great obstacle to the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne.

In this kind of situation, Xuan Wuyu would usually not express any opinions.

Especially for such an important candidate, it was better not to interrupt.

Just like Xuan Wuchen, he was very smart. Ever since the topic of the king with a different surname was discussed, he had never spoken a word.

One of them spoke, and the others also began recommending him. After all, the position of the Great Minister of War was too important.

"Wuchen, what do you think about this matter?" The Ancestor had a leisurely expression on his face.

"The position of the Great Minister of War is very important, and the recommendations of all the ministers are reasonable. However, this son believes that it would be better to give each of them ten thousand recruits for training. One month later, the competition will begin. The final winner will be the final candidate. " Xuan Wuchen said.

"Crown Prince's method is really amazing." Someone immediately praised.

"Wuyu, what do you think?" The Ancestor asked.

"This son believes that it's better to discuss the matter of the king with a different surname first. There are millions of civilians in Royal City of Chiang Family, and they can't be without an owner for a single day. If they wait for a month... I'm afraid it's a mess." Xuan Wuyu said, trying to pull the topic back.

Yu Shibo nodded. He had not misjudged the person. At the critical moment, it could be used to push a thousand kilograms.

Xuan Wuyu's words were equivalent to the previous discussions. They had all become nonsense.

"What Wuyu said makes sense." The Ancestor turned the thumb ring in his hand and said, "Now that King Chiang and his people have been killed, the people in the city will surely be terrified. We need a new city lord to comfort them. As for you... All of you are thinking about who will take over the Great Minister of War! "

Everyone fell to their knees, all of them keeping silent like cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Although the Ancestor's tone didn't change, no one knew whether he was angry or not.

Because even if he destroyed a country, his tone was still the same.

"In that case, let the Duke of Qin manage the Royal City of Chiang Family for the time being. The name of the city will temporarily be called an unnamed city. When there are suitable candidates in the future, we will confer the title of the city to them!" The Ancestor said.

"The Ancestor is wise!" Everyone shouted.

"All of you can withdraw." The Ancestor said, "Wuchen, stay behind."

Only then did everyone stand up and withdraw from the main hall.

"Chen'er, you have disappointed me." The Ancestor slowly said.

Putong!

Xuan Wuchen immediately knelt down on the ground, "This son didn't expect the Lin City to be so powerful. I was careless for a moment, so I failed. I hope Royal Father can punish me!"

He knew very well that the Ancestor must have known that Ye Wuliang and the others were sent to the Ox Fighter Domain by him.

In front of everyone, he would never admit it, but in front of the Ancestor, he didn't dare to hide this matter.

Because this operation was also because of the Ancestor's hint. He said that Qin Zheng had relied on Lin Yue, this servant, to ascend the throne, and that it was a great disgrace.

It was this hint that gave him the idea of letting King Chiang annex the Royal City of Qin Family.

However, he didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end.

"It's precisely because he was born as a servant that he was able to grow to such an extent today. Thus, we must not underestimate him! " The Ancestor said, "This time, five Void-breaking Expert and twenty Spiritual Infant Stage warriors were sent out. However, none of them came back. This showed the strength of the Lin City. It's completely comparable to a first-rate second-rate sect. It's already much harder to eliminate the Lin City than killing Lin Yue."

Xuan Wuchen thought for a moment and came to a realization.

"I know what to do now."

Since Lin City was so difficult to deal with, he would wait for Lin Yue to come out alone and attack Lin Yue.

"Let's think about how to explain it to everyone first." The Ancestor said, "Before Chiang Yuan and Chiang Wei died, they cursed you. Now, everyone outside thinks that you sent someone to kill them."

"I will handle it well." Xuan Wuchen said, "Within ten days, we will definitely investigate the truth of the matter and give everyone an explanation."

"En, you can go." The Ancestor said.

Xuan Wuchen got up and took his leave, returning to the manor.

"Crown Prince, the Right Prime Minister is waiting for you." Someone reported as soon as they arrived at the door.

Xuan Wuchen walked a few steps forward and entered the room.

"The Ancestor must have left you here because of the destruction of the Chiang family." Wei Yan asked.

Xuan Wuchen nodded, "That's right. After all, the impact of this incident is too severe. Chiang Yuan and Chiang Wei deserved to die. How dare they curse me like this!"

"No matter what, everyone thinks that you have sent someone to do this." Wei Yan said, "We must find a suitable reason."

Xuan Wuchen nodded his head gloomily. This operation was really going to be like hitting a fox. Instead, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"Today's matter was almost resolved. It's all Xuan Wuyu's fault. He actually changed the topic. What a pity." He said.

Recently, things were always not smooth.

If Huo Zhangfeng was given the title of King with a different surname, then Zheng Jingyuan would have a very high chance of becoming a Great Minister of War, and he would basically be able to ascend to the throne.

Wei Yan shook his head, "Crown Prince, whether this matter is successful or not has nothing to do with the Second Prince. It's the Ancestor who doesn't wish to grant Huo Changfeng the title of King."

Xuan Wuchen pondered for a moment and nodded.

What kind of figure was the Ancestor? He was afraid that he had already seen through their thoughts.

"What should we do next?" Xuan Wuchen asked.

"Since this matter has been decided, there's no other way. You should make a trip to the Chiang family's Royal City to understand the situation and then think about how to announce it to the public." Wei Yan said.

The two of them discussed for a long time before they left.

Xuan Wuyu returned to his residence in a good mood.

Indeed, Lin Yue did not let him down. Five Void Shattering experts, twenty Spiritual Infant Tier cultivators, all of them actually returned with no return. Just how astonishing was the strength of this Lin City?2

Of course, the stronger the strength of Lin City, the more beneficial it was to him.

Now, he felt more and more that joining hands with Lin Yue was a very correct choice.

However, after this matter, Xuan Wuchen would definitely investigate the traitor thoroughly.

In this way, in order to ensure safety, there would not be any news for a short period of time.

For so many years, he had already established a very large intelligence network that infiltrated every corner.

Now, these chess pieces that were previously arranged were playing an important role.
