The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 378 The Crown Prince Finally Stands Out
Chapter 378 The Crown Prince Finally Stands Out
Changsun Wuji never expected that Wang Gui would agree directly, and opened his mouth for a while, but didn't know what to say.

Even the ministers behind him looked at Changsun Wuji in a daze, they didn't know how to face the current situation.

However, before they could react, Wang Gui continued to take two steps forward, bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "Although I am an old minister from the previous dynasty, I follow Mingjun wholeheartedly!"

"I implore the Holy Majesty to give the old minister a chance to serve the country and the people! Let the old minister burn the last remaining heat for the Great Tang!"

Li Er couldn't refuse Wang Gui's words. After all, Li Er was a face-saving person.

To say that he is a wise king is to praise him on the surface, but in fact, this sentence has hidden murderous intentions, completely flattering him.

If Li Er rejected Wang Gui directly, it would be the same as rejecting all the former officials, so Li Er had to treat it with caution...

And Changsun Wuji was even more helpless, the words he had prepared before could not be used at this moment.

The ministers behind him immediately stood up, bowed to Li Er and cupped their hands and said, "I report to you, Your Majesty! I think that Wang Shilang is still far behind Zhao Guogong after all..."

Before the ministers could finish speaking, Bai Jingyi sneered and said, "Mr. Zhao has already said it, and I am not up to the task. Why do you bother to mention Mr. Zhao!?"

This sentence almost made Changsun Wuji faint on the spot, couldn't he tell that he was just being humble?
Changsun Wuji stood up with a livid face, bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "My lord! My minister thinks that the position of prime minister should not be easily decided!"

"Why don't you ask the opinions of other colleagues!?"

Li Er nodded lightly, looked at the officials below and waved his hands and asked, "Ai Qing, who do you think should be given the position of Prime Minister?"

The reason why this question was asked was because only these two people were recommended by the court.

The rest of the ministers seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, and they knelt and sat on the spot one by one, watching the two sides compete...

Changsun Wuji looked at Cheng Yaojin and the others. After all, in his opinion, they were colleagues who had fought together on the battlefield, and they would definitely stand up to help at this moment.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, Chai Shao and others all felt the eyes of Changsun Wuji.

But they can only be memories, helpless eyes, after all, the future of their children is in the hands of the King of Beiliang.

If he goes against the King of Beiliang at this time, wouldn't he be asking for his own death?To remain neutral, it still depends on the friendship that they fought together in the beginning.

For Cheng Yaojin's people from Wagang Village, although they have experienced life and death together, they are definitely not brothers, and it is even more impossible to ask them to help...

What's more, on weekdays, Cheng Yaojin always calls Changsun Wuji an old bastard, which is enough to prove Changsun Wuji's usual character, which must be incompatible with his carefree and very forthright character...

So Cheng Yaojin just smiled at Changsun Wuji, and this smile is enough to explain everything.

Since Changsun Wuji had just returned to Chang'an City yesterday, he had only heard about the recommendation of the prime minister, so he didn't have enough time to visit the homes of various ministers.

Now in this court, he can't be too obvious.

The generals couldn't help but Changsun Wuji could only look in the direction of the civil servants, hoping that they could stand up and help him speak.

Especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they are called Fang Mou Du Duan, if they can stand up and speak for him, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Since Changsun Wuji and they belonged to the civil servant camp, and they were both founding heroes and belonged to upper-level officials, the standing distance between them was relatively close.

So Changsun Wuji whispered to them, "I wonder what you two think about the position of prime minister!?"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji had no idea what Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were thinking, so he had to ask carefully.Do not reveal your purpose directly.

What's more, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are not stupid at all, even if they don't need to say it clearly, they can guess the purpose of Changsun Wuji.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, then said with a faint smile: "It's better to let nature take its course!"

After getting this answer, Changsun Wuji was a little disappointed, because it proved that the two of them also wanted to remain neutral.

And this result, Changsun Wuji had already expected it in his heart, after all he knew that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wang Gui were best friends for many years.

Now that they are able to remain neutral, it is enough to give him face...

The officials below were still discussing in low voices, Li Er was a little annoyed sitting on the dragon chair and waiting, he said directly: "You loves, who do you think is more suitable for the post of prime minister, Zhao Guogong or Wang Shilang!? "

When they heard this, both Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji held their breath subconsciously, and could even hear their own sonorous and powerful heartbeats.

Although Wang Gui had the chance to win, he still didn't dare to underestimate Changsun Wuji. After all, he was also a relative of the emperor, so maybe there was something behind him.

Although the ministers of the aristocratic family are superior in number, the one who finally decides the position of prime minister is the Holy One...

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Er was also hesitating in his heart. If he supported Changsun Wuji to take the position, then he would definitely get a powerful helper, and he would also be his confidant.

If you support Wang Gui to the throne, then you will definitely appease the old ministers of the former court, so as to stabilize the court...

Everyone turned their attention to those heroes who founded the country. After all, these people have enough weight to speak.

As a result, none of these founding heroes wanted to be this young bird, and they all knelt on the spot like sculptures. It wasn't that they didn't want to stand up and speak out, but they just didn't want to offend the King of Beiliang, and at the same time, they didn't want to get involved with the aristocratic family...

After all, these founding heroes know better than anyone what kind of existence the aristocratic family is to Datang, so it is necessary to draw a clear line as soon as possible.

When everyone was silent, Li Chengqian clenched his fists and walked out.

Noticing Li Chengqian's movement, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, watching him walk to the center of the Tai Chi Hall.

Seeing Li Chengqian's figure, Changsun Wuji thought secretly in his heart: "His Royal Highness will stand up to support me after all! When I ascend to the position of prime minister in the future, I will definitely help His Royal Highness with all my strength!"

When thinking of this, Changsun Wuji even took a proud look at Wang Gui...
