The man's words were like a huge rock falling from the sky that suddenly woke Shangguan Qian up, causing him to wake up immediately.

Yes, there is that person, how could he forget him?

Who is this person?

It is the first general of the military general - the veteran general Chen Guang!

This person is of great significance to Shangguan Sha. He was originally a general of the previous dynasty, and he had a good relationship with Shangguan Sha before he could take the throne.

Later, among a group of princes, the only one who was elected the isolated Shangguan Sha as the crown prince. Once he turned over, he soon as he ascended the Golden Palace and sat on the throne.

At that time, the court was talking a lot, and even a faint undercurrent was surging. The princes with backgrounds were all ready to move.

Later, a prince rebelled openly, and incited the people to rebel in the territory he allocated. At that time, the riots were everywhere, and the momentum was huge. It was Chen Guang who worked hard to overcome all difficulties at that time and volunteered to help Shangguan Sha solve this matter and sent troops to suppress the rebels.

Not to mention that in the years before Liang Zheng appeared, he had several times solved the safety of the Dazhou Dynasty with his troops.

Whether in terms of status or reputation, Chen Guang can already achieve the ultimate that this general can do. Therefore, the title of the first person is well deserved.

Even on his birthday every year, officials in the capital would sell him a lot of face, and even Shangguan Sha would personally reward him to show his importance to him.

Compared with him, Liang Zheng can only be regarded as a rising star. Although he is trying his best to expand his power, how can he compare with Chen Guang?

This time he fought with the Huns, and he just wanted to seek power, so he refused to accept the situation by placing his father's fear of death, so he was afraid that his father's emphasis was still Shen Guang.

Although Chen Guang has "recovered the mountains" over the years and no longer leads troops, his disciples and confidants are everywhere among the military generals, and everyone respectfully calls him "old general".

This person has not publicly expressed his support for anyone, and even showed no interest in this game. Not only did he do this, but he also made everyone under his disciples have this attitude, which is really difficult to figure out.

Shangguan Qian himself tried to win him over and visited him several times, but Chen Guang did not respond, and even responded a little coldly.

Shangguan Qian felt that it would be fine if he chose to keep a stand-in and watch the battle for the throne, but if he chose to be a backstage for Shangguan Yu, even if Liang Zheng intentionally made things difficult for Shangguan Yu, it would be useless.

No one can stop Shangguan Yu from then on.

After all, the first and second men in the army seem to be only one ranking apart, but in fact there are many differences and cannot be compared.

Today, Chen Guang is an uncontrollable factor that Shangguan Qian cannot control. With him or not, the result will be very different. Therefore, Shangguan Qian can no longer be as sure as before. Shangguan Yu is no longer as good as before.

Seeing the worry that appeared on his face, the man beside him arched his right index finger and tapped the table next to him a few times.

"Does the eldest prince listen to my opinion?"

Shangguan Qian was interrupted by the sound of him knocking on the table. He nodded when he heard him speak like this.

"Huan Lang said it's okay! I will wash my ears and listen!"

After hearing his words, the man named Huan Lang curled a mysterious smile on his lips and said.

"I believe the eldest prince has realized now that this battle for the throne is said to be a competition between several princes. In fact, in the end it is just a competition between you and Prince Yu. Other senior princes don't need to care about it at all."

"What we can't understand now is whether Prince Yu has the intention to compete for the emperor, because what he has always revealed is not to fight or rob, and it seems that he has no idea about inheriting the throne."

"But people will disguise themselves for survival, so we cannot make decisions easily. But if there is no, that's good, so we don't have to be afraid of anything at all, but if there is, then the eldest prince will have to confront him in the next days and can no longer be contemptuous of him."

"And for Chen Guang and Bei Zhi's selfish thought that he would not directly choose to be the backstage for anyone on the surface, or in this game, he would not end easily until the last moment, so the eldest prince doesn't need to worry about this."

"Why?"

Shangguan Qian was a little puzzled. If the princes were compared to a game, then whoever the ministers chose or who they joined was equivalent to buying a fixed-leaving job in the casino.

Chen Guang has not made any movement for a long time. Is it still observing who has a high chance of winning or losing?

But now it is true that Shangguan Qian has a relatively large chance of winning, and he took the last move, so the final winner will inevitably complain about him.

"Because although the icing on the cake is not as good as a timely help, there is no risk, and it is safer!"

Huan Lang looked at Shangguan Qian's face and said word by word.

To be fair, the latter is indeed even more touching. This relationship is naturally extraordinary, but what can this emotion be worth in the officialdom?

Do you need to be moved in the officialdom and even this battle of imperial power?

unnecessary!

Just think of Chen Guang's current status. He can't go any further. He can already say that he has a high position and is of great power. All he has to do is to make his descendants enjoy this kind of treatment of having a wife and a child.

So for him, as long as he can keep himself safe and safe, he will not offend others, and there is no need to take risks at all.

After all, if the person you choose at the beginning fails to take the throne by chance, then after the real new emperor takes office, he will undoubtedly regard him as a thorn in his side and want to get rid of it quickly.

After thinking through this, Shangguan Qian then realized why Chen Guang had no response to his kindness before. Now that he thought about it, it was not that he was not moved, but that he would not easily take sides.

He turned his head and glanced at the person beside him. Seeing that he was calm, he nodded secretly in his heart, and asked seriously.

"I have already understood what Huan Lang said, but you think what we should do if Shangguan Qian wins and returns to China. It is impossible to get rid of him on this road. Will you watch him come back and make your father trust more?"

Concubine Zhen and the several groups of people he sent had gone but never returned. Even this group of people had not even discovered the whereabouts of Shangguan Yu's princess, and they were simply waste among the waste.

"According to his humble position, the eldest prince is better to join forces with Liang Zheng. If you promise him the position of the first general in the future, if he supports you without reservation, this deal will be a win-win situation!"

"Are you joining forces with him?"

Shangguan Qian muttered to himself, his brows frowned unconsciously, as if he was a little hesitant.

A few days ago, the father sent him to investigate whether Guo Feng's cheating on the enemy was true or not. Shangguan Qian originally planned to investigate honestly.

After all, he looked at Shangguan Sha and the officials in the capital were very concerned about this at this time, and wanted to use this to earn a good reputation for himself.

But just as he was about to start, he received a letter of invitation from Liang Zheng, saying that he wanted to sit in the mansion.

Although Shangguan Qian was curious about Liang Zheng’s purpose, he still visited on time in order not to offend others.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them settled some things without hesitation, and made a deal of money and goods.

Afterwards, Shangguan Qian left with 300,000 taels of silver notes on him. At the same time, he gave up the idea of ​​investigating Guo Feng's affairs and directly concluded the four-character evidence provided by Liang Zheng.

And when Shangguan Sha was furious and wanted to execute Guo Feng's family, he took the lead in asking for favors for them, asking the people in the capital to praise him as a kind heart.

It can be said that Shangguan Qian gained both fame and fortune in this matter.

But he was not stupid, knowing that since Liang Zheng got involved in this matter, this matter must be related to him, and it is even possible that the person behind the scenes would be him.

But since I have collected the money, I will naturally keep silent about it.

So now when Huan Lang said he would suggest that he cooperate with Liang Zheng, he would be a little worried.

Because he felt that Liang Zheng was probably very fond of appetite, and even the corruption of military pay was involved with him. Then the hundreds of thousands of taels he had received from him before would definitely return it to him in order to show his loyalty.

It is even necessary to pay some money, which is a heavy bleeding for Shangguan Qian. How can he not feel sorry for him?

Seeing that he had not spoken, Huan Lang spoke again.

"The eldest prince has no time to hesitate. If he doesn't make a decision now, then Prince Yu will return to victory and decide to take action, it will be too late!"

Shangguan Qian thought about it and then thought, but he decided to join forces with Liang Zheng. As for money, it was just a trivial matter in the face of such a big thing.

But before he nodded and said his decision, a notice suddenly came from outside the study room.

"Prince, there are three hundred miles of urgent letters in Qingcheng!"

Qingcheng, could it be that the special envoy I sent to inform me of how much money I collected in Qingcheng this time?

That was really great. I was about to bleed heavily, but the money here was coming to my door again!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but feel a little joy in his tone and shouted to the outside of the door.

"Come on the letter quickly!"

"yes!"

Then someone pushed the door open and handed Shangguan Qian a tightly wrapped letter wrapped in kraft paper.

Shangguan Qian took it and couldn't wait to see what was written outside the envelope first, so he couldn't wait to take it apart.
Chapter completed!
