Chapter 423： The battle for the **** of the imperial city!

Chapter 423 The battle for the leadership of the imperial city!

"Huangchang is in need of such talents!"

Hearing this sentence, something in Chen Yuan's body felt cold for a moment, and Cao Zhengxian's adoptive son Yang Yuanqing was even more jealous of Chen Yuan. For some reason, he just looked at Chen Yuan a little uncomfortable.

Seemingly seeing the reluctance in Chen Yuan's heart, Cao Zhengxian continued:

"Not everyone in the imperial factory needs to be cleansed, you don't need to worry, don't worry, as long as you are willing to enter the imperial supervisory department, the governor will definitely use you well,

Never bury your talent. "

Cao Zhengxian pinched the orchid, pointed at Chen Yuan and smiled.

Zhang Yantong snorted softly:

"Does Governor Cao mean that Chen Yuan was buried in our Sky Survey Division?"

"Isn't it? With Chen Yuan's talent and strength, he should have been transferred to the capital a long time ago, but you **** envoys are pushing back and forth, fighting each other secretly,

For nothing to let a good young man like Chen Yuan stay in that corner of Qingzhou for so long, if Chen Yuan was a member of the Imperial Superintendent, this Governor would never be like this. "

"Chen Yuan was trained by the envoy deliberately in Qingzhou. Doesn't Governor Cao know that even the son of the envoy is placed in the state capital below? If there is no such training, how can Chen Yuan defeat the world's heroes, climb to the top and dive Number one on the dragon list?

If it was in the Imperial Superintendent's Department, hehe. I'm afraid it would not be the case. "

"The envoy Zhang has a problem with my Imperial Superintendent?"

"So what if you have an opinion? In the past few years, the Imperial Supervision Division has repeatedly bullied my Sky Surveyor. Why, could it be that my Sky Surveyor has no one? Governor Cao, my Sky Surveyor is full of iron-blooded men, and they are not trouble-free guys. "

In front of Jingtai, Zhang Yantong was not afraid of Cao Zhengxian at all. Even though there were factions fighting endlessly within the Xuntian Division, they were still able to stand together in the face of the Imperial Supervision Division who came to seize power.

And this is exactly what Jingtai wants to see, so generally not only will it not stop it, but it will actively deepen the battle between the two divisions. As long as it is within the rules, let them fight.

One cannot be idle, and all kinds of troubles will arise when one is idle.

"Inexplicable, ridiculous!"

Cao Zhengxian snorted coldly and continued:

"That's because your Sky Surveyor is incompetent. If it's really that powerful, go and pacify those demons in Blood State."

"Why doesn't the Imperial Superintendent go? If Governor Cao dares, I, the Sky Surveyor, will follow closely behind."

Seeing that the two of them wanted to quarrel, Jingtai coughed lightly, and said lightly:

"They are all important ministers in the court, Huayang real people, what's the point of arguing here?"

"Your Majesty forgives the crime. It is really that Eunuch Cao is too deceptive. I can't help but want to refute it."

"Your Majesty forgive me, the old minister just said a few words of the truth, I didn't expect Zhang Shenshi to be unconvinced."

Jingtai turned his eyes to Chen Yuan, and said lightly:

"Both Governor Cao and Zhang Shenshi value you so much, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan's complexion remained unchanged, he cupped his hands at Cao Zhengxian and said:

"Thank you, Governor Cao, for your kindness. It's just that Mr. Chen is used to staying in the Sky Survey Division. It is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable when he goes to the Imperial City Division. I hope the factory owner will not blame him."

"It's okay, if you don't enjoy your stay in the Sky Survey Division in the future, you can come to my governor, and you will always have a place in the Imperial Supervision Division." Cao Zhengxian looked at Chen Yuan with a half-smile and said.

"With this envoy, how could Chen Yuan not be happy?"

"Chen Qing, you have defeated all the heroes in the world, you have reached the top of Qianlong, and you have shown the prestige of the court. You have managed well in Tangshan Mansion. It is a great achievement. Originally, I wanted you to break through in the secret realm of the capital. Master Huayang protects the Dao for you, but since you have successfully broken through, let this matter go,

I have already said that I want you to work in the capital and entrust you with important tasks. Can you take the position you like in the sky survey department? "

Jingtai stared at Chen Yuan and asked.

"The minister is terrified, and dare not be so loved by His Majesty."

"The humble official is a green brick of the imperial court. Wherever it is needed, His Majesty can go there as much as possible. It is his duty to serve His Majesty and contribute to the imperial court. I dare not make any demands."

Chen Yuan bowed.

Jingtai glanced at Chen Yuan admiringly. Although the other party didn't want to kneel down and acted very extreme, his loyalty and attitude were very good.

If it is cultivated, it will surely be the pillar of the court and his arm in the future.

"What position do you two think Chen Qing is suitable for?"

His eyes were on Zhang Yantong and Cao Zhengxian.

Cao Zhengxian glanced at Chen Yuan with a half-smile:

"The veteran thinks that since Chen Qing has done so well in Tangshan, he might as well be a city patrol commander. The capital has not been peaceful in recent years, so it needs to be suppressed."

"Where is Zhang Shenshi?"

Zhang Yantong said in a deep voice:

"City patrolling is a job that offends others. Chen Yuan's character will inevitably cause some troubles, but recently there is still a lack of one of the four major commanders in the imperial city. I think that it is better to let Chen Yuan occupy this position. Let some warriors staring at the court have nothing to say."

Since Chen Yuan was summoned to the capital, there was indeed some turmoil in the Jianghu, guessing what position Jingtai would give Chen Yuan, if it was low, it would definitely cause criticism.

Cao Zhengxian immediately retorted:

"The old minister thinks it's impossible. Envoy Chen Qing has just broken through not long ago. If he directly serves as the commander of the imperial city, it will inevitably attract criticism. There are many alchemy masters in the Imperial Supervision Division and the Sky Xuntian Division. Although Chen Qingshi has contributed a lot , but it will inevitably make some people dissatisfied, after all,

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lowest level of being able to hold the position of the eight major commanders inside and outside the capital is also the cultivation base of Shidan. There has never been an exception. With the strength of Chen Qingshi,

It would be more appropriate to be the commander of the patrol city. It will not be too late to appoint the eight commanders after Chen Qingshi breaks through Shidan. "

The City Patrol Commander is considered to be one level lower than the Eight Commanders, but he is not affiliated with the Eight Commanders, but directly obeys the orders of the Four Divine Envoys of the Sky Survey Division, which can be called a high position and weight.

Generally, they are candidates for the Eight Commanders. Compared with the outside world, they are a little stronger than the deputy envoys of the states, but if the deputy envoys have real power, they are among the best.

"Besides, the three-year ancestor worship is about to begin, and Chen Qingshi has no experience at all. If he doesn't do well, not only Chen Qingshi will be criticized, but His Majesty will also be criticized."

The recently vacated post of commander has long been targeted by Cao Zhengxian, and it was prepared for Yang Yuanqing. Although he has a good status by the emperor's side, he still has too little real power.

He did not assume the position of commander of the imperial city, so he could take over the position of governor in a logical manner in the future. For this adopted son, Cao Zhengxian was heartbroken.

Besides, Yang Yuanqing was reprimanded by the emperor again today, and the holy family is gradually disappearing, so preparations must be made early.

"I feel that Governor Cao's words are wrong. Now everyone in the world knows that His Majesty summoned Chen Yuan to the capital to entrust him with important tasks. If only one patrolling commander is given the post, it will inevitably make people feel petty.

Chen Yuan made great efforts for the country and became the first person in the imperial court to climb to the top of Qianlong. Isn't such credit enough to stop those Youyou's mouths? As for what experience it is, Governor Cao's nonsense. "

Hearing the word 'nonsense', Cao Zhengxian's face changed slightly. Even though he is a eunuch, he doesn't want others to call him that.

In fact, with his cultivation base and strength, he was long enough to find a spiritual creature to be reborn with severed limbs, but it is useless in this harem.

Furthermore, he himself has no interest in this kind of thing, isn't it just about going in and out?

"The three-year ancestor worship was originally based on the scriptures, and it was reproduced according to previous years. Moreover, the commander of the imperial city was only in charge of guarding, and things like sacrifice etiquette were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites."

"Director Cao said before that Chen Yuan is the pillar of the country and a talent. Could it be that he is so talented that he can't take on the position of commander of a mere imperial city?"

Zhang Shenshi said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengxian was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Jingtai raising his hand, and said lightly:

"The two lovers have some truths, but after all, Chen Qing has made a lot of contributions to the court. If he doesn't give a generous reward, how can he convince the public?"

Hearing this sentence, Cao Zhengxian frowned, and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, Envoy Chen Qing has made great contributions, but Yang Yuanqing has worked hard to serve His Majesty for so many years. The old minister originally intended him to be the commander of the imperial city."

He is very clear that the emperor has intentionally weakened the power of the Xuntian Division in the capital in recent years, and wanted the Imperial Supervisory Division and the Xuntian Division to restrain each other. Before the Imperial Supervisory Division captured the two imperial city commanders of the Xuntian Division, it was Jingtai's intention. .

Hearing this sentence, Jingtai's tone was suffocated, and he didn't continue the following words. He originally wanted to directly appoint Chen Yuan, which was why Cao Zhengxian interrupted.

The emperor kept his word and the constitution of heaven in his mouth. Once he said it, he would not change it, especially in front of so many people. This would damage the emperor's majesty.

"You also want to serve as the commander of the imperial city?" Jingtai turned his gaze to Yang Yuanqing.

"I also want to contribute to the country and guard the imperial city for His Majesty." Yang Yuanqing immediately bowed and said, he didn't say anything that he had stayed with the emperor for too long and wanted some real power.

That will kill people!

Actually, the reason why he begged his adoptive father to transfer him to be the commander of the imperial city was that besides wanting real power, he also wanted to be farther away from the emperor. In recent years, he felt that the emperor had become more terrifying and moody.

A companion is like a tiger, he is a little timid.

That's why I want to stay away. Otherwise, if it's just about power and status, working by the emperor's side, not to mention the eight commanders, even the golden envoys in some remote state capitals are not as good as him.

Those concubines and maids in the palace who want to ask the emperor to be lucky have to offer him up and let him handle them.

Jingtai tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about something in his heart, the reason why the Imperial Superintendent was able to take away the two commanding positions of the Xuntian Division in the Imperial City, just as Cao Zhengxian thought, was his instigation .

That's why the Imperial Supervisory Division was able to succeed, and that's why the envoys of the Heaven Surveyor Division didn't react too strongly. Otherwise, the power of the Heaven Surveyor Division would not be comparable to that of the Imperial Supervisory Division.

And his real purpose is to completely separate the inner and outer cities. The four commanders of the outer city will be handed over to the Sky Survey Division, and the four commanders of the inner city will be handed over to the Emperor Supervisor.

The strength of the Xuntian Division is too strong. A peerless true monarch seeks to break through the sixth realm. Four strong **** refiners sit in the capital, and there are more than ten golden envoys guarding one side.

If they have something different.

It is inevitable that the events of the royal family will not be reproduced.

Of course, not only the Sky Survey Division, but Jingtai in the military is also gradually weakening, dispersing the people and horses in several towns in the capital, and holding them firmly in their hands.

If you want to rejuvenate the Great Jin Dynasty and sweep away the decline, you must first take all the rights into your own hands, so that you can stop the declining court.

Looking at Jingtai's pensive look, Zhang Yantong frowned, and naturally thought of something. I'm afraid that it is not that simple for Chen Yuan to ascend to the imperial city to rule.

After all, this is contrary to Jingtai's long-term plan.

Chen Yuan also squinted his eyes, raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanqing who was beside him. There was a trace of coldness in the eyes of the two of them, and both of them looked at each other disliked.

If Cao Jiegou hadn’t mentioned Yang Yuanqing just now, I’m afraid his position as the commander of the imperial city would have come to an end.

"Are there any gaps in the gold envoys of each state recently?"

Jingtai turned his gaze to Zhang Yantong.

"There is nothing missing, but the Liangzhou Jinshi sent a letter saying that the Beiliang Palace has almost emptied it, and the military and government of the entire Liangzhou are in the hands of the Beiliang King. I hope the court can reprimand the Beiliang King. "

Zhang Yantong said in a low voice.

"Northern Liang King" Jingtai took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Since Liangzhou is short of people, we will promote a commander of the outer city to become a gold envoy. If one is not enough, there will be two. The situation in Liangzhou must be stabilized, at least face-saving."

It is absolutely impossible for him to directly reprimand the King of Beiliang. The reason why the Liangyou border is still impenetrable is because the King of Beiliang withstood most of the pressure in Liangzhou.

If he was dissatisfied with the imperial court because of reprimands, and deliberately made something, it would inevitably cause him a headache. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, he has repeatedly tried to weaken the power of the King of Beiliang.

But he avoided them all one by one. If he couldn't avoid them, he directly signaled his subordinates to open their loopholes and let the barbarians enter the Central Plains.

His elite 300,000 Northern Liang iron cavalry, even the imperial court is afraid of it.

Battle together, invincible.

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhang Yantong finally understood that the emperor was going to make a detour. He didn't want to get angry because he didn't reuse Chen Yuan, and he didn't really want to return the power to Xun Tiansi.

But fortunately, the position of commander of the outer city is not inferior to that of the commander of the inner city. Chen Yuan has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility. The only person who may suffer losses is the commander of the outer city who is about to be transferred from the capital.

Although the golden envoy is high and powerful, it depends on where it is. Even if Liangzhou becomes a golden envoy, it is also in charge with others. Besides,

There is still the King of Beiliang, so it is really not a good job.

"Chen Qing, Yang Qing, there is still a lack of a commander in the outer city, who is no less inferior to the commander of the imperial city. You both have merit, so choose one each."

The implication of this is that he wants Chen Yuan to be the commander of the outer city, which makes Yang Yuanqing sneer.

But Chen Yuan didn't achieve his goal, how could he give up?

He bowed to Jingtai solemnly and said:

"Where Your Majesty puts the minister, I dare not have any opinions. There is no difference between the two cities inside and outside. If it is someone else, the minister can let him choose first, but Yang Yuanqing is different. This house is different from the minister. Personal grievances, I am unwilling to give in willingly, please allow me to fight with him,

If he wins, the humble minister can be elected, if the humble minister wins."

"arrogant."

Yang Yuanqing squinted his eyes. He also wanted to fight with him. Hearing Chen Yuan's words, he immediately bowed and said:

"Weichen is also willing to fight Chen Qingshi, but the conditions have to be changed. If Weichen wins, I hope Chen Qingshi will take the post of city patrol commander. If Weichen loses, the same is true!"

Jingtai's eyes sink slightly:

"How can my determination be trifling with?"

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Chen Yuan and Yang Yuanqing hurriedly said.

Cao Zhengxian's eyes moved, and he agreed:

"Your Majesty, since envoy Chen Qing has some personal grievances with Yang Yuanqing, you might as well take this opportunity to let them settle it, so that you can better contribute to the court and avoid stumbling each other in the future. Besides, envoy Chen Qing is said to be unparalleled in combat power and can It would not be difficult to beat Yuan Qing by stepping up the ranks, and besides, His Majesty appreciates Chen Qingshi so much, don't you want to see how powerful he is?"

Zhang Yantong frowned, and looked at Chen Yuan. In his opinion, this battle could be avoided completely, and the commander of the outer city was not weaker than the commander of the inner city. He used Chen Yuan's Xudan cultivation base that had just formed an alchemy to fight Yang Yuanqing. , is really a bit unwise.

Is it just to let out a sigh of relief?

Of course not. In fact, Chen Yuan just wanted to find a suitable excuse. Otherwise, he could only serve as the commander of the outer city, which violated too much the plan of the Taoist Palace.

He is the leader of the imperial city!

Facing Zhang Yantong's gaze, Chen Yuan gave him a reassuring look, made him stare for a moment, and echoed:

"What Governor Cao said is not unreasonable. Since there is a grudge between Chen Yuan and Eunuch Yang, we might as well take this opportunity to settle it completely. If Chen Yuan loses, it proves that his current strength is not enough. Whether it is the commander of the city, it can block the mouth of the world, if he wins,

His Majesty can rest assured that the position of commander of the imperial city is given to him. "

Jingtai glanced at the two of them slowly, and said softly:

"You two really want to compete?"

Chen Yuan stepped forward:

"Please allow Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please grant me permission. It is said that Chen Yuan, the demon sword, is the best in the world. I have never taken it seriously. Today, I have the opportunity to see it well, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."

Yang Yuanqing said loudly.

Jingtai’s face showed no sadness or joy, and continued:

"Since you are determined to fight, I will not stop you, but today is a battle of emotions after all. If anyone loses, don't blame me afterwards."

"The humble minister dare not."

"The humble minister dare not."

"If anyone wins, the position of commander of the imperial city will be his, and there will be no objections. In addition, the commander of the outer city will be re-selected."

He originally wanted Chen Yuan to be the commander of the outer city and Yang Yuanqing to be the commander of the imperial city, but since both of them are dissatisfied, the winner will come first.

The loser gets nothing.

This is the fate of disobeying him.

There is no such thing as everyone is happy, each leader chooses one, and right now, there is only one position left.

"I understand."

"I understand."

Chen Yuan and Yang Yuanqing bowed one after the other and said.

Jingtai glanced at the two of them, looked at Zhang Yantong and said:

"This battle will determine the position of commander of the imperial city. If the other envoys want to come, they can also come and have a look."

"Yes"
