Even with Chung Geng Sheng's obstruction, the search of Qingyang Town was finally confirmed.
The ones in charge of the investigation were the Grade Four Official Zhang Weiyu and the Grade Four Blue Medal Constable Ma Xiong.
Ma Xiong was a Blue Medal constable from the Patrol House of the Capital City.
Zhang Weiyu was truly extraordinary.
Under the Political Affairs Hall of Qi, there were three departments: Rites, Revenue, and Official. They were in charge of rites, economy, and governance.
Although all government orders came from the Political Affairs Hall, these three departments were the ones in charge of executing specific government affairs and had great power.
The Ministry of Rites was in charge of foreign affairs, ceremonies, and ceremonies. For Chambers of Commerce like the Four Seas Business Alliance and the Desheng Trading Company, the first one they had to visit was the Ministry of Revenue. As for the Ministry of Personnel, although they did not have the power to appoint or remove officials, they were in charge of evaluating the officials. Needless to say, they were important.
Specifically speaking of Zhang Weiyu, in terms of cultivation, he was at the peak of the outer building. Based on his resume, he had delivered perfect results in all the positions he had taken up so far.
In terms of background, he was in the same faction as the Imperial Advisor Chen Fu.
In the Qi, the nine Imperial Advisors and the nine Generals of the Military Affairs Hall were the representatives of the highest power under the Emperor. Any one of them was very important.
Zhang Weiyu's background, ability, and cultivation were all good. Such a person was definitely not weaker than Chung Geng Sheng.
Even if he strongly wanted to investigate Jiang Wang, Chung Geng Sheng could not stop him.
He had never interacted with Jiang Wang. He also did not have much contact with Chung Geng Sheng, who had just shown his talent in the past two years. There were no conflicts.
There were no conflicts.
They were not like the Bao Family and Junggenjia, who were not on good terms with each other.
Although the Imperial Advisor Chen Fu and Marquis Dingyuan and Chongxuan Chu Liang had different political views, they were not political enemies.
Hence, there were no personal grievances.
But to say that it was all for the sake of justice, that might not be the case.
"What does this Zhang Weiyu mean?"
In the teahouse where Chung Geng Sheng often held private gatherings, Li Longchuan frowned and asked.
Fourteen stood aside silently. Chung Geng Sheng smiled and poured tea for them without saying anything.
Yan Fu, who was sitting on the south side, said in a warm voice, "Before this incident, we all knew that His Majesty intended to appoint Jiang Wang. Who do you think is the most suitable position for Jiang Wang in the entire State of Qi? "
Li Longchuan was naturally intelligent and valiant. He was very insightful in military affairs and did not lack political acumen. However, Qi controlled a vast territory, controlled overseas, and had garrisoned troops behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons … There were countless positions. It was indeed not easy to find the most suitable one for Jiang Wang.
Unlike Chung Geng Sheng, Yan Fu did not like to keep people in suspense. Seeing Li Longchuan pause for a moment, he directly said, "Naturally, it's the Northern Yamen Commandant."
Li Longchuan's eyes lit up, "Yes!"
In terms of rank, the Northern Yamen Commandant was only Grade Four. However, he had a lot of power in Linzi. He was only below the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall.
Although Jiang Wang was only at the Inner House Level, he was the top Inner House Level in the world. Furthermore, he was already a Grade Four Blue Medal Martial Artist and a Grade Three Golden Melon Warrior. He was really qualified to be the Northern Yamen Commandant!
Although the Kingdom of Qi was huge, it would be difficult to find a better location that was more suitable for someone of Jiang Wang's level!
Furthermore, this position could only be taken by the Emperor's trusted aides.
If Jiang Wang could take this position, it would be difficult for the rumors and public opinion to spread. In the future, it would be easier for him to enter the Military Affairs Hall and the Political Affairs Hall.
Furthermore, the previous Northern Yamen Commandant candidates were all nominated by the previous Northern Yamen Commandant and the Political Affairs Hall. The opinions of the previous Northern Yamen Commandant were very important.
Who was the current Northern Yamen Commandant?
Zheng Shi!
Zheng Shi had been the Northern Yamen Commandant for many years. The Emperor still trusted him. Of course, he could continue to suppress his cultivation and continue to hold this power. However, what was the best choice?
One had to know that the power of Transcendent Realm cultivators before the Divine Advent Realm would decline as their bodies aged. Zheng Shi had to leave the Northern Yamen before his power began to decline and become a Divine Advent Realm cultivator. Otherwise, he would delay himself.
In addition, Zheng Shi's son, Zheng Shangming, was currently developing in the Blue Medal system.
However, he naturally couldn't directly pass the position of Northern Yamen Commandant to Zheng Shangming. It would be difficult for him to pass the Political Affairs Hall. However, Jiang Wang, who was on good terms with Zheng Shangming, was the best choice!
With Jiang Wang's talent, he wouldn't suppress his strength even if the Northern Yamen Commandant had a lot of power.
In other words, he wouldn't be in office for too long even if he became the Northern Yamen Commandant.
Zheng Shi was doing Jiang Wang a favor now. When Jiang Wang became a Divine Advent Realm cultivator and left his position, he could let Zheng Shangming take over. Wouldn't that be the perfect outcome?
Li Longchuan immediately understood when Yan Fu pointed out the position of Northern Yamen Commandant. He couldn't help but ask Chung Geng Sheng, "Commandant Zheng intends to leave his position? Does Jiang Wang also intend to take over this position? "
The position of Northern Yamen Commandant carried too much weight!
Even if he was the legitimate son of the Li Family of Shimen, he still couldn't ignore it.
"If Commandant Zheng doesn't intend to, wouldn't we be offending him for no reason by saying this? Wouldn't we be treating our friend as an enemy?" Chung Geng Sheng smiled and said, "For Commandant Zheng, it would be an excellent choice if he could break free from his shackles and take another step forward. He's also done some things, intentionally or unintentionally, to pave the way for Jiang Wang. It's just that I can't see Jiang Wang clearly. I didn't have time to tell him either. "
"Yes." Li Longchuan sighed and said, "What a pity."
With Jiang Wang's disappearance, he missed out on such an important position as Northern Yamen Commandant. It was a pity.
He had become a third-grade Golden Melon Warrior and could be considered to have entered the upper echelons of Qi. However, it was only in name and not in reality. If he could become the Northern Yamen Commandant, it would be very different. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that he would enter the center of Qi's power!
This was a staircase to heaven in one step!
He had the favor of the Emperor, the support of Emperor Zheng, and deep popularity. After the Imperial Ancestral Temple presented the gift, he had the right time, place, and people. However, something like this happened to Jiang Wang right now.
Of course, it was a pity.
Yan Fu said softly, "You think it's a pity, but some people think it's good. That's why the problem is here."
At this point, Li Longchuan naturally understood why Zhang Weiyu had jumped out.
Zhang Weiyu of the Ministry of Personnel was a fourth-grade official. His cultivation was at the peak of the Outer Building. He had a beautiful resume and a strong background … He was very suitable for the position of Northern Yamen Commandant!
However, there was only one position. If Jiang Wang didn't step down, who could step up?
Originally, there was no conflict between the two sides. However, when one was a carrot and the other was a pit, it was not uncommon for them to become enemies.
When it came to an important position like the Northern Yamen Commandant, even the person behind Zhang Weiyu, the Imperial Councilor Chen Fu, would not treat it lightly.
It was no wonder that Chung Geng Sheng used Tianjiao's dignity as an excuse to stop the investigation of Qingyang Town.
Zhang Weiyu had to do his best in the face of this staircase to heaven.
Li Longchuan thought for a while. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chongxuan, they insisted on investigating Qingyang Town. You also objected so strongly. Is there really a problem with Qingyang Town?"
Chung Geng Sheng looked at him and smiled faintly, "Jiang Wang is not in the country now. His image can be dressed up and painted by anyone. Brother Li, what do you think? "
Chung Geng Sheng and Li Longchuan were Jiang Wang's good friends. They were true friends who were willing to stand up for Jiang Wang when he was in trouble.
However, there were also differences between them.
They were both born in a family of generals. They were also top aristocratic families. They were the direct descendants of the Marquis. Their feelings for the country and their loyalty to the Emperor were not the same.
In order to repay the favor of saving his life, Jiang Wang helped Yin Guan enter Linzi. When Chung Geng Sheng found out, he helped to smooth things over. He also caused trouble for Jung Genzun.
If Li Longchuan had known about this at that time, he would have stopped Jiang Wang.
In this world, everyone had their own thoughts. Everyone had their own life and desires.
Even if they were good friends, they could not always be on the same page.
Seeking common ground while reserving differences was the truth. However, if there were differences that could not coexist, no matter how good a friend was, they could only cut ties.
Chung Geng Sheng did not answer Li Longchuan's question. Instead, he asked him if he was willing to trust Jiang Wang without reservation.
Li Longchuan had his own principles. He was willing to trust Jiang Wang. He had proven it many times before … but he would not trust him without reservation.
The atmosphere in the tea room suddenly became solemn after Chung Geng Sheng's question.
"Speaking of which …" Yan Fu said at this time, "Where is Jiang Wang now?"
Chung Geng Sheng retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "I told him not to come back for now. He went sightseeing!"
"It seems that Brother Chongxuan has a card up his sleeve. Then I am relieved."
Yan Fu smiled and stood up. "Miss Wen is still waiting for me to go sightseeing with her. I will leave first."
He looked at Li Longchuan. "Brother Li?"
Li Longchuan nodded slightly and also stood up. "Since there is nothing else, I should go back. My sister has come back recently. She has been urging me diligently. "
Yan Fu was already walking out. He turned back and smiled at Chung Geng Sheng. "Tell Jiang Qingyang to have fun. Spend as much as he wants. When he comes back, he will reimburse me!"
