As soon as the words fell, the guards opened the curtain, and soon, the fourth prince Tang Yong appeared in front of everyone.
"There are so many people here."
Tang Yong was not surprised to see so many people in front of Chu Zhan Mansion.
But when he saw Tang Chen, his pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of murderous intent seeped out, but he quickly took it back.
"Meet the Fourth Prince!"
The princes and ministers quickly saluted and said hello.
"Um."
Tang Yong nodded slightly, and then slowly walked towards Chu Zhan.
When Chu Zhan saw this, his expression changed slightly.
He knew that Tang Yong was competing with Tang Chen for the position of King of Tang. Now that these two princes are gathered here, nothing will happen.
"The new commander of the royal city, Chu Zhan, has met the fourth prince."
Chu Zhan quickly saluted Tang Yong.
Although he was on the side of the sixth prince Tang Chen, etiquette was still indispensable.
"You're welcome, Commander Chu. The prince of Japan stopped by here today and saw the excitement here, so he came to take a look."
Tang Yong helped Chu Zhan up and said with a smile.
"Tang Yong, if I remember correctly, this is not the way back to the palace."
Tang Chen looked at Tang Yong and said with a smile on his face.
Ever since Tang Yong appeared here, he felt that the visitor was evil. This Tang Yong was here to "rob people"!
"Tang Chen, you are so superficial. As long as you have a heart, there is a way back to the palace anywhere!"
Tang Yong glanced sideways at Tang Chen and said without any sign of weakness.
"Commander Chu, I have a gift here. I wonder if you like it."
Tang Yong turned over his hand and took out a wooden box from his arms.
Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Yong slowly opened the wooden box. When everyone saw the contents of the wooden box clearly, their pupils shrank suddenly, even Tang Shan and Tang Chen were no exception!
The thing in the wooden box is neither a precious medicinal material nor a rare treasure, but a military talisman! The talisman of the hussar general!
The hussar general had the highest status in the entire Tang Dynasty army, second only to the general!
Because the hussar general holds military power, his status is definitely higher than that of the commander of the royal city!
"Is the fourth prince's gift too expensive?"
"Yes, General Hussar's military talisman. He wants to promote Chu Zhan to General Hussar!"
"The status of the Hussars General in the army is second only to that of the General, and his status is definitely not comparable to that of the Commander of the Royal City!"
The princes and ministers whispered enviously.
Because Tang Yong often led troops to fight, the King of Tang personally agreed that except for general, Tang Yong could appoint all military positions, including hussar general.
This also resulted in many generals in the army being Tang Yong's men. Regarding this, Tang Chen and the officials on his side also wrote to the King of Tang to raise objections, but most of them were dismissed.
This is not to say that the King of Tang favored Tang Yong, but that many of the people recommended by Tang Chen did have strong ability to mobilize troops. On the other hand, although the people recommended by Tang Chen were not short of generals, they were not as good as those recommended by Tang Yong. Compared to that, he actually fell behind.
After Tang Chen was shocked, his face darkened, and there was even a trace of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Pull people in!
This Tang Yong was pulling people naked in front of him!
The key is that I don't have the leverage to fight back!
The positions that Tang Chen can arrange are not as big as those of General Hussars!
At this time, Chu Zhan was stunned when he looked at the talisman of the Hussars General in the wooden box.
Like other princes and ministers, he did not expect that Tang Yong would take out the military talisman of General Hussar and extend the olive branch of General Hussar.
this?
How do I choose?
In terms of position alone, the Cavalry General naturally has a higher status than the Commander of the Royal City. The Cavalry General holds military power, which is absolutely majestic.
But Chu Zhan also has his own worries. He has never led an army to fight in a battle. If he rashly takes up the post of General of Hussars, he is afraid that the people in the army will not obey him. Besides, it was Tang Chen who showed him this in the beginning. Okay, it seems a little inappropriate to change the door at this time.
Although Chu Zhan yearns for a high position, he still has the bottom line.
"Commander Chu, looking at your hesitation, could it be that you are worried that the people in the army will not obey you after taking up the post of General of Hussars?"
"If that's the case, you can rest assured that I will protect you. If anyone dares to gossip about you, I will chop off their head!"
After Tang Yong saw Chu Zhan's hesitant look, he patted his chest and promised.
Anyway, in his eyes, all he had to do was bring Chu Zhan to his side. By then, Chu Feng and the Shushan Sword Sect would probably be on his side.
In fact, it's not like he hasn't thought about directly wooing Chu Feng.
But Xu Hong, his first adviser, felt that Chu Feng was an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect. If he wanted to win over him directly, the price he would pay might be very high. Even after paying a huge price, he still could not win over Chu Feng.
Therefore, Xu Hong felt that wooing Chu Zhan was the best choice. After all, your father and I are on my side, and you, as a son, must help me.
Later, Tang Yong thought about it carefully and realized that this was also true.
As far as he knew, when Tang Chen wooed Chu Zhan, he just sent his cronies. Chu Zheng went to Qingcheng, and then gave up his position as the deputy governor of Dongjun, so that he could successfully meet the Shushan Sword Sect. The headmaster, Master Taiqing!
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that the credit for this belongs entirely to Chu Zhan’s son, Chu Feng!
"this......"
After hearing what Tang Yong said, Chu Zhan showed hesitation.
To be honest, both the conditions offered by Tang Yong and the current guarantee are very tempting.
If you say you are not moved, that would be a lie.
The princes and ministers around him are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart.
After reacting from the initial shock, they understood that the reason why Tang Yong tried so hard to win over Chu Zhan was to win over Chu Feng who was behind Chu Zhan, and the Shushan Sword Sect behind Chu Feng.
They all know that Tang Yong is now competing with Tang Chen for the position of King of Tang. It can be said that the two are almost evenly matched now.
But if Tang Yong is backed by Chu Feng and Shushan Sword Sect, then he will immediately take the lead in the battle with Tang Chen!
How could Tang Chen not understand this truth, but he couldn't offer a more attractive position than the Cavalry General, so he could only worry about it on the side.
"Fourth Prince, please allow me to discuss this with my family."
After thinking for a long time, Chu Zhan said slowly.
This matter was too important, and he felt that he needed to discuss it with Tang Yu and Chu Feng.
"good."
Tang Yong nodded and smiled.
He knew that this matter was no small matter, and it would indeed be difficult for Chu Zhan to make the choice alone.
But he believed that whether it was Tang Yu or Chu Feng, if they were smart enough, they would make Chu Zhan make the right choice, that is, to serve as a hussar general!
The next moment, Tang Yong glanced at Tang Chen with a slightly provocative look, and Tang Chen snorted coldly.
"Madam, Feng'er, what do you think I should choose?"
Tang Yong asked in a low voice after pulling Tang Yu and Chu Feng aside.
"Master, I don't know about this kind of thing."
"It's better to listen to Feng'er's advice."
Faced with this kind of thing, Tang Yu didn't know how to choose. According to his position, the Cavalry General was naturally more attractive, but on the other hand, it was Tang Chen who took the lead in showing his goodwill to Chu Zhan.
"Well, Feng'er, what do you think I should choose?"
Chu Zhan looked at Chu Feng and asked.
