Chapter 142 Choice
"Now I will give you a chance to choose."
Li Chen's eyes at Xu Changqing were like an abyss, with an obscure meaning.
"If you are determined to be a local area, then from the third rank, you can completely serve as a provincial governor, a real chief official, a provincial official, and all the people's livelihood in the province, and policy scheduling will be decided by you."
"If you want to continue to stay in the capital, then first master the Ministry of Revenue. For the appointment of key positions, this palace will give you the right to choose the trustworthy authority you can trust. If you can be promoted to the Minister of State, you need the approval of the cabinet. You are not qualified or prestige enough. If you lack the opportunity to make great contributions, you can only take steady steps and take it step by step."
With a smile, Li Chen said: "When you go to the place, you have greater real power and safer. You can stay away from the struggle between the court and Zhao Xuanji. At least you can protect yourself. After everything is settled, as a senior official of a province, no matter who is in power in the end, you will win you over."
"And if you stay in the capital, although you can take charge of the real power of the Ministry of Revenue, you have to wait a little longer if you want to be the Minister of State in your name. What's more, you should have felt that this palace is not as powerful as Zhao Xuanji in the court. In your actual work, you will be restricted everywhere and isolated by others."
"I have already said this enough, how do you choose?"
Xu Changqing almost didn't think much about it. Just as Li Chen finished speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to the ground and said, "Weichen, I want to continue to stay in the Ministry of Revenue."
Li Chen chuckled, not surprised by Xu Changqing's choice.
The two met for a while, but in fact, Li Chen had only been traveling over for more than a month.
So it would be too fake to say the relationship between master and servant.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and it is meaningless to say those sensational words, and even Su Pingbei can't deceive him.
Politically, the two are closely related allies.
The Minister of Revenue made Li Chen angry and chopped him down. This was Xu Changqing's opportunity. He seized the opportunity of Li Chen's lack of personnel in the court and hugged Li Chen's thighs tightly.
But it was this choice that made his interests destined to be tied to the prince.
If the prince is honored, then he is honored.
If the prince loses, he... dies.
Politicians are also gamblers. The cards are in the capital and the game is in the world. The loser has no decent statement about leaving, just because the individual dies like a lamp.
So for Xu Changqing, it looks good to be a governor of the province, but now the power of the prince has not even spread out from the capital and court. When he arrives, who can protect him?
A governor who has no confidant below and no backer above is not much more comfortable than a dog.
So Xu Changqing made the right choice clearly. Since he had already bet, he would firmly continue to follow the team. There was no saying that he would get off the bus in the middle of this gamble.
Win, take all.
Lost, and taken all.
"Go down and draw a list."
Li Chen didn't say anything comforting or praising, but just gave a simple order.
"I received the order."
Seeing Xu Changqing leave respectfully, Li Chen stirred up the flames and said, "He is a smart person. It seems that his ability is still good during this time. Look at the list submitted this time, it is enough to show his character. If he passes the three items, he will have a seat in the future cabinet."
Next to it, Su Jinpa's faint voice came.
