Zheng Ji was relieved, but the prince Zheng Zheng felt like a big mountain was weighing on his head, and he was feeling depressed.
The emperor actually chose Lu Guang as the left leader of the East Palace!
Lu Guang, how could it be Lu Guang?
After Yu Youtang's accident, Zheng Zheng and Huang Pushan had many private discussions. On the one hand, they speculated about Emperor Yongning's plans for Zuo Led of the East Palace. On the other hand, they thought about which of their own generals could take Yu Youtang's place.
They finally selected one of the generals in the East Palace Command, who was only slightly inferior to Yu Youtang, but who was also only loyal to him.
Little did they know that before they submitted this candidate, Emperor Yongning actually decided on Lu Guang as the left commander of the East Palace, in charge of the 20,000 troops of the Ten Commanders of the East Palace.
"Master Huang, what should we do?" Zheng Zheng murmured, feeling for the first time that the road ahead was shrouded in fog.
For other generals, he would have been able to deal with it, but Lu Guang...
Lu Guang had made great achievements in the army and supported his father. However, he really had no way of attacking such a prestigious general.
Lu Guang was his father's pure minister and would only obey his father's orders. In other words, the ten command houses of the East Palace and 20,000 troops and horses in his hands eventually returned to his father's hands.
Isn't this taking away his power?
When he first heard the news, Zheng Zheng felt that his scalp was going to explode. He wanted to rush to the Zichen Palace to question his father.
Others may think that Emperor Father is paving the way for him by letting Lu Guang become the leader of the East Palace, but in fact, he is putting more constraints on the East Palace!
Since Lu Guang knows how to protect himself wisely, and since he has left the court for so many years, why does he still want to get involved now and take care of himself in his old age?
Hateful, really hateful!
Huang Pushan, who was sitting below him, had restrained his iconic Maitreya Buddha smile, but his expression was slightly calmer than Zheng Zheng's.
"Your Highness, please calm down. General Lu has become the left leader of the East Palace. Your Highness, you have to think on the bright side."
Lu Guang's appointment surprised everyone, but the emperor's decree has been made. All the Crown Prince can do is to win over Lu Guang as much as possible.
Feelings between people are created by friendship. Now Lu Guang is working as an errand in the East Palace and is a subordinate of His Highness the Crown Prince. This kind of love is a good thing.
From Huang Pushan's point of view, this matter has two sides to the same coin, with both disadvantages and advantages. His Highness must find ways to turn the disadvantages into good aspects.
How could Zheng Zheng not know this truth?
He almost wanted to vomit blood, but he had to admit that the plan for now was to win over Lu Guang.
Lu Guang became his leader, which was a double-edged sword. Lu Guang led 20,000 soldiers from the East Palace. If anything happened to him, his father would definitely know about it. But on the other hand, Lu Guang was He has such a high prestige in the military, if he can get his support...
Let’s not talk about other things, just say that the Gyeonggi Guard will definitely be used by him!
Seeing Zheng Zheng's expression calm down, Huang Pushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that His Highness the Crown Prince would fall into a dead end and be unable to get out. In fact, if you change your perspective on this matter, it will suddenly become clearer.
"Your Highness, I believe that General Lu, as Zuo Lian, is the Emperor's test for you. If Your Highness passes this test, you will not only receive assistance from Lu Guang, gain the power of the Gyeonggi Guard, but will also advance your position in front of the Emperor."
This is an opportunity. The opportunity given by the Emperor to His Highness, it depends on whether His Highness can seize it.
At the same time, Zhu Yi reported the information collected by Feng Chenwei one by one in accordance with Emperor Yongning's request.
The officials in the court were either surprised or secretly happy about Lu Guang's appointment as the leader of the East Palace. In short, they all talked about it, which caused a lot of commotion in the court.
These situations were all expected by Emperor Yongning.
He looked at Zhu Yi and asked gently, "What do you think of Lu Guang?"
"General Lu has a high prestige in the army and is fully qualified to serve as the leader of the East Palace. This is a good thing for His Highness the Crown Prince and the country." Zhu Yi replied, without leaking information from all sides.
"This is reasonable. But I feel that the official position of Donggong Zuo is not worthy of Lu Guang's reputation. What do you think?" Emperor Yongning continued to ask.
Zhu Yi didn't seem to hear what Emperor Yongning meant, and replied in a clear and slightly childish voice: "I have limited knowledge and dare not say anything."
What could he, a subordinate, feel?
Emperor Yongning didn't take it seriously and continued to ask: "It doesn't matter, tell me, what official position is worthy of Lu Guang?"
Of course, he is the commander of the Beiya Forbidden Army.
However, this position has already been determined by Shi Su, even if it is only on the surface.
Zhu Yi knew this very well, so he just shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."
After hearing this answer, Emperor Yongning laughed, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
Immediately, the emperor seemed to sigh: "With Lu Guang's prestige in the army, he is more than qualified for any position. Anyone who wants to compete with him must first weigh his own abilities to see if he can win." .”
Zhu Yi nodded, indicating that Emperor Yongning was right.
However, he felt in his heart that whether he could win or not mainly depended on the emperor's attitude.
If the emperor hoped that he could win over Lu Guang, no matter how prestigious Lu Guang was in the army and how great his achievements were, he would have no choice but to abdicate in favor of others.
If the emperor doesn't want it... then of course there will be nothing left.
He will not reveal these thoughts.
He very much agreed with the emperor's statement that it was too difficult to compete with Lu Guang for this position and he had to weigh it carefully.
At this time, Xue Gong noticed that Emperor Yongning seemed to have some unfinished intentions, and stepped forward very eloquently and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't understand. Mr. Lu has not been interested in government affairs for many years. Why is he willing to serve as an official again this time?"
Emperor Yongning glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "You are the only one who talks a lot! I ask Lu Guang to serve as an official, can he be unwilling?"
He closed the memorial, as if sighing, and said in a long tone: "What I don't want to give, others can't get it, but what I want to give, others can't refuse. Do you understand this truth?"
"Yes, yes, I understand! Thank you very much for your emperor's words. I will definitely remember them clearly on my forehead!" Xue Gong smiled flatteringly.
Everyone present knew who Emperor Yongning was speaking to, but no one said it publicly.
The emperor glanced in Zhu Yi's direction, half-closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Of course Emperor Yongning, who loved hunting when he was young, knew the method of cooking an eagle very well.
Zhu Yi is a rare bird of prey, and I hope it will not disappoint him.
The turmoil in the court and the army caused by Lu Guang's appointment as the left leader of the East Palace also appeared in the Wuge, but Zheng Ji didn't care.
For her, winning the martial arts competition is a first-class event, and she will no longer be distracted by other things.
Soon, her team ushered in their first match in Dingchang, and the team they faced happened to be Mr. Guo's team.
Among them, there is Xie Yi!
"Third update! Regarding Xie Yi, show the way to Chapter 114."
