The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 379 Everyone Supports Wang Gui
Chapter 379 Everyone Supports Wang Gui
Everyone watched Li Chengqian walk slowly to the center of the Tai Chi Hall, and they always felt that the reason why Li Chengqian would stand up must be to support Changsun Wuji.

After all, everyone knows that the eldest grandson Wuji is the greatest support for the crown prince, and it is precisely because of the existence of the eldest grandson Wuji that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei can fight against each other.

Therefore, even though Wei Wang Li Tai has the support of the aristocratic family, it is difficult for him to compete for the crown prince in a short period of time...

However, Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, knew in his heart that the reason why Li Chengqian stood up was not to support Changsun Wuji, but to support Bai Jingyi.

Li Er opened his mouth, but he retracted the words when he reached his mouth. After all, he was very hesitant in his heart and had no decision at all.

Instead of messing with one's own sense of proportion, it is better to let nature take its course and see what kind of trend the court will develop.

Sure enough, after Li Chengqian walked to the center of the Tai Chi Hall, he bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "I report to my father! My son thinks that Wang Shilang is more suitable for the position of prime minister!"

"This…………"

Changsun Wuji's smile froze directly on his face, and he swallowed abruptly when he was about to speak.

Originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince stood up to help him speak, but it turned out to be to help his opponent, His Highness the Crown Prince, what does this mean?
Changsun Wuji couldn't figure it out, and he was thinking in his heart: "Could it be that His Royal Highness has already joined the King of Beiliang and doesn't need me!?"

"Or, what kind of benefits did these great families promise to His Highness the Crown Prince? If not, why didn't His Highness the Crown Prince support me!?"

Not only Changsun Wuji stood there in a daze, but even the other ministers were puzzled.

After all, the eldest grandson's family controls the largest iron mine in the Tang Dynasty, and its background is enough to rival the aristocratic family. It is definitely the biggest help for His Royal Highness.

Helping the aristocratic family, wouldn't that encourage the strength of Wei Wang Li Tai.

Everyone didn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince did this! ?Even Wei Wang Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian in a daze.

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart: "Brother Huang, didn't you wake up today? Why did you start talking nonsense above the court?"

"He actually supported Master Wang's ascension to the position of prime minister!? Could it be that Brother Huang is planning to give up on himself?"

Wei Wang Li Tai stood in place, frowning tightly, thinking about various possibilities in his mind.He looked at Li Chengqian's back, widened his eyes suddenly, and thought in his heart: "Master Wang hasn't appeared in the palace in recent days!"

"Recently, the king of Japan had a quarrel with Master Wang. Could it be that Master Wang hated me because of this, so he planned to support Brother Huang!?"

For a while, Wei Wang Li Tai panicked. He thought that the aristocratic family no longer supported him, and instead supported Li Chengqian.If this is the case, then wouldn't he be just a prince forever, and he has nothing to do with the crown prince in this life...

When thinking of this result, Wei Wang Li Tai suddenly lost his mind.At the same time, he muttered to himself: "No wonder Master Wang didn't even look at me just now! That's how it is, that's how it is!"

The officials in the court also talked about it one after another, but they only dared to whisper in a low voice, and they didn't dare to make any noise at all.

After all, the position of prime minister is of great importance, and it also involves aristocratic families. If you talk nonsense in the court, it may cause unwarranted disasters.

Although Li Er already knew the result, he still had to have the scenes he should have.He looked at Li Chengqian, and slowly asked, "Why!?"

At the same time as the words fell, Li Er looked at Bai Jingyi and thought in his heart: "Now that the prince has obeyed your wishes, there must be no other requests!"

However, all of this is just what Li Er thought...

Bai Jingyi just glanced at Li Chengqian indifferently, thinking in his heart: "It's still a bit of use value!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Wuji apologetically, then bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "Return to the words of the emperor! My son thought that Wang Shilang had been an official in the court for many years, and he had experienced ups and downs several times!"

"No matter in terms of qualifications or talents, they are enough to be the prime minister!"

"As the crown prince of a country, my minister should put aside worldly distractions and support the minister who is most suitable for my Tang Dynasty!"

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Changsun Wuji was completely speechless, and kept asking himself in his heart: "Could it be that His Royal Highness really can't tell the priorities!?"

"Is it really naive to think that the aristocratic family will support him wholeheartedly!? Really think that the other princes will not have any ideas about the crown prince!?"

"The old man has not ascended to the position of prime minister, won't he be passive everywhere in the court in the future!?"

Changsun Wuji was trembling with anger, and at the same time felt deeply disappointed in Li Chengqian, as if he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most...

However, Li Chengqian's eyes were lowered, and he didn't even have the intention of looking at Changsun Wuji.

It was precisely because of Li Chengqian's words.It can be regarded as completely moving Li Er, making him feel that Wang Gui is indeed capable and qualified to be the prime minister.

But in order to get the approval of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Er still smiled and said: "Hahaha, my prince is worthy of being the crown prince of a country, and he has always cared about my Tang Dynasty!"

"However! I still want to hear your thoughts, Ai Qing!"

After hearing this, Bai Jingyi stood up and said slowly: "Compared to Zhao Guogong, Wang Shilang is more daring! If you want the position of prime minister, you want the position of prime minister. You can't be so false !"

"you…………"

Changsun Wuji was so angry that he was speechless, and almost fainted from the direct anger.

However, no one present dared to refute Bai Jingyi's words, and Li Er could only say helplessly, "How do you love this matter?"

There is no other way, Li Er can only ask again, to divert the topic, lest Bai Jingyi continue to speak nonsense in the court.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came out one after another, bowed to Li Er and cupped their hands and said, "My lord! I believe that Wang Shilang has both political integrity and ability, and has real talents and learning, which is enough for the position of prime minister!"

"Report to Your Majesty! I think that although Wang Shilang is an official of the former court, he also knows the situation of the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty best. If he can be the prime minister, he must have an advantage over Zhao Guogong!"

Seeing that someone came forward, the rest of the princes and ministers were all eager to try.

Cheng Yaojin even stood up directly, and said with a strange smile, "Quack quack! The eldest grandson is already a minister of the state, and he still wants to be the prime minister. This ambition is not small!"

"You... Huh!" Changsun Wuji's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot when he was angry, but he still pretended to be expressionless...
