When the civil and military officials saw the person standing up, they immediately started whispering among themselves.
Because this person is Su Zhenming, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty who was selected by the Ministry of War.
The special thing about Su Zhenming is that he is the nephew of Duke Ji and the cousin of Concubine Su. In short, he belongs to the same party as the four princes.
At this time, he jumped out and said that there was someone to recommend, and it was undoubtedly the fourth prince. Although Lu Chenghong was reluctant, he could only wave his hand: "Who does Mr. Su want to recommend?"
"I recommend the fourth prince Lu Chengtai. The fourth prince has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is good at both civil and military affairs. He has also led troops in Jizhou for many years and has rich experience. I believe that the fourth prince is more suitable for the position of Ganzhou Guard Admiral."
Sure enough, Su Zhenming recommended the fourth prince.
Lu Chenghong frowned slightly. The fourth prince has not yet entered the vassal vassal. He is nominally a Qianhu of Jizhou Guard. This is the largest official position for the Duke of Jiguo. It is said that in terms of status and experience, he is indeed better than Yang Xuan.
Be stronger.
Moreover, he does not have any shares in Shengfa Company, and he does not care whether he offends Yang Xuan or not. It seems that he has no chance to compete for this opportunity, but he is a prince after all, and it is completely reasonable and even has a certain tradition for him to guard the border as a prince.
The recommended candidate was the fourth prince, so it was inconvenient for Lu Chenghong to object directly, so he could only turn his attention to the emperor behind the curtain.
The emperor just said lightly: "I haven't seen Chengtai for many years. Su Aiqing can write a letter and ask Chengtai to respond to Tianfu. I want to test him and see what kind of progress he has made over the years."
, if he is really capable, it is not impossible to let him guard Jiayuguan."
"My lord, I obey the order."
Su Zhenming immediately became silent. The emperor asked Lu Chengtai to return to Beijing. Would he dare to return?
At the beginning, he took advantage of the emperor's serious illness to sneak away to Jizhou Mansion. Although the emperor never said anything, who knows what the emperor was thinking?
If Lu Chengtai returns to Beijing and the emperor finds an excuse to keep him, won't he be left in the cold?
With Prince Yan's experience, no matter who succeeds to the throne, he will not let him go.
After the end of the dynasty, Su Zhenming asked to see Concubine Su, hoping that Concubine Su would find a chance to find out what the emperor was saying. If the emperor really missed Lu Chengtai, maybe the position of the governor of Ganzhou Guard would not be without a chance.
In the Yangxin Hall, Lu Chenghong was still discussing with the emperor Yang Xuan's reward and whether Yang Xuan could assume the position of Ganzhou Guard Admiral.
Although Yang Xuan is basically qualified in other aspects except for qualifications, the matter of qualifications is extremely important. Even if the officials in the court dare not have any objections, Yang Xuan must be able to sit firmly.
That's the location.
Otherwise, if someone gets rid of him not long after he takes office, it will be the prince and the emperor who are embarrassed.
"Father, although Yang Xuan's qualifications are still relatively young, my father also recognizes his ability. I think he is fully capable of taking on this important responsibility."
The emperor was lying on the recliner without opening his eyes: "Do you know what Yang Xuan said to me before he left the capital?"
Without waiting for Lu Chenghong to speak, the emperor continued: "He made a bold statement to me: Loulan will never be returned until it is broken."
Lu Chenghong was puzzled: "What does the father mean?"
"Then I will wait until he defeats Loulan and then give him the position of admiral."
Lu Chenghong was surprised, what kind of place is Loulan? It is now the territory of the Wala people. The most important thing is that the place is now a desert. Even if they occupy that place, what is the use?
Moreover, although the land of Loulan is an important transportation road, it is not dangerous to defend. If Loulan is not destroyed and returned, it is obviously an impossible task.
"Father, this is probably just a joke made by Yang Xuan. He may not even know where Loulan is."
"Huh?" The emperor snorted coldly: "Does he dare to deceive you?"
Lu Chenghong panicked: "I don't mean that, I am saying that Yang Xuan may not be able to fulfill the bold words he made without knowing the truth."
"So what, he said it himself." The emperor put away his anger and curled his lips slightly: "Chenghong, the way to control people is ever-changing. For people like Yang Xuan, don't force him
For a moment, you don’t know what a surprise he can bring you.”
Lu Chenghong breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor continued: "Don't talk about Loulan, as long as he can reach Yumen Pass, I will let him be the Admiral of Ganzhou Guard."
Lu Chenghong raised his hands above his head: "Thank you very much, father."
"You don't have to be in a hurry to thank me. It's not that easy. There is a saying that the night is long and the dream is many."
While they were talking, a eunuch came to report that Concubine Su was here.
The emperor curled his lips: "Look, this is coming."
Lu Chenghong stood up quickly: "My son, please leave."
After coming out of Yangxin Hall, Lu Chenghong returned to the East Palace and told Mr. Lu what happened at today's court meeting.
Mr. Lu sipped the tea and frowned: "It seems that this matter is not certain yet."
He said that Mr. Lu poured another cup of tea for Lu Chenghong: "Despite the fact that no one objected, the longer the time goes on, the greater the possibility of changes."
"How to deal with that?"
Mr. Lu shook his head and said: "The mountains are high and the road is far away. I'm afraid I can only rely on Mr. Yang himself for this matter. But who is behind this matter and pushed Mr. Yang to such a high level all of a sudden? It should be noted that sometimes praise is too much."
Being high is not necessarily a good thing."
"Sir, are you saying that someone deliberately used this to frame Mr. Yang?"
Mr. Lu nodded slowly: "It is not impossible. Originally, it was enough for Mr. Yang to be promoted to the rank of general by the emperor, but now he has to fight for the position of admiral, which is a bit out of his reach."
Lu Chenghong shook his head and said: "But I think it is possible that my father is pushing it behind the scenes. Just now my father also said that as long as Mr. Yang can capture Yumen Pass, he will be given the position of admiral."
Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise: "This..."
"Yumen Pass is a desolate place with yellow sand in the desert. How can we conquer it?"
Lu Chenghong shook his head, and then said: "By the way, the imperial decree for rewards based on merit has been issued, but Mr. Yang's reward has not yet been determined."
"It doesn't matter. The emperor can still be stingy with rewards. It seems that the emperor wants to accumulate the merits for Mr. Yang first, so that he can propose larger rewards later, such as the Ganzhou Guard Admiral."
…
At the same time, Yang Xuan had returned to Ganzhou City, but Chen Changqing stayed in Jiayuguan and was about to retire. He didn't want another accident to happen at this last moment.
Waiting for Yang Xuan outside the gate of Ganzhou City, it was Guan Yunrong who had obviously lost a lot of weight.
The moment she saw Yang Xuan, she ignored any reserve or identity and ran towards Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan, on the other hand, dismounted and stood there, happily looking at Guan Yunrong who was running over, and opened his arms to her.
