The position of Rizhao Commandery's Town Commissioner was gone!
Chung Geng Sheng had been building momentum for a long time and fought for it many times, but at the last moment, someone else had stolen the fruit of his labor.
The new Town Commissioner of Rizhao Commandery was Tian Antai. The imperial edict had been issued and could not be changed. He was about to take up the position.
Chung Geng Sheng and Jiang Wang's plan was thus cut off.
Chung Geng Sheng angrily came to Qingyang Town and informed Jiang Wang of the news.
Jiang Wang had been looking forward to it. This position was very beneficial to his power, and it did not feel good to have his hopes dashed. However, he still comforted him, "You can't stop the momentum. The heavens are flawed, and people are jealous. It's inevitable! "
The position of one of the three Town Commissioners of the Sun Region.
Huang Yixing was needed to rule. Anyone who was in charge of the division of the pie would need such a person.
However, he was only given the position because Chongxuan Chu Liang agreed. Although his loyalty could not be guaranteed, he could be seen as part of Chongxuan Chu Liang's faction.
Chongxuan Chu Liang was in charge of the exchange of interests. Through the position of Red-Tail Commandery's Town Commissioner, he had a certain degree of cooperation with the Gao Clan of Jinghai. It was also a fair division of the pie.
Only Chung Geng Sheng, the Town Commissioner of Rizhao Commandery, had the intention to run it as his own territory.
No matter what, this position would not be given to Tian Antai.
As a general of the Qiu Offense Army, he had personally participated in the Yang-Exterminating Battle and made contributions on the battlefield. His Inner Mansion Realm cultivation was also suitable for this position.
However, in terms of contributions, he definitely could not compare to Jiang Wang's achievement in capturing the flag, Chung Geng Sheng's achievement in killing generals, or Song Guang's 70,000 soldiers before the battle.
The reason why he was able to sit on this position, one, was because he was born in the Tian Clan of Daze with a deep foundation. Two, it was unavoidably because the Emperor's heart was unfathomable. He did not want the land of Yang to become Zhongxuan Chu Liang's private land. Thirdly …
"It's Jung Genzun!"
Chung Geng Sheng said fiercely, "If he didn't agree on behalf of the Junggenjia, His Majesty wouldn't have bypassed Uncle's opinion and appointed Tian Antai to the position!"
There were two messages in his words. One was that Jung Genzun still had the absolute advantage in Junggenjia, and could even represent Junggenjia in important situations. The other reason was that the Qi Emperor did not wish for Chongxuan Chu Liang to gain too much. However, due to his meritorious service, he could not openly suppress him. This was the heart of an emperor, so it was normal.
Jiang Wang frowned. "Why would the Junggenjia agree to give up Rizhao County?"
For a top aristocratic family like the Chongxuan Clan, no matter how optimistic they were about Jung Genzun, they shouldn't make a choice that would harm their family's interests.
Chung Geng Sheng's face darkened. "The Tian Clan gave up the rights to develop Chongji Island for ten years in exchange."
He knew that Jiang Wang did not understand the significance of Chongji Island, so he added, "This island is considered a coastal archipelago. It has rich resources and will not lose to Rizhao County. It has always been the Tian Clan's private property."
So that's why!
Chongji Island might not be better than Rizhao County in terms of resources and practical benefits, but the significance was different.
From the Junggenjia's perspective, they had already gained enough in the Yang Region. Losing the position of Rizhao County's town commissioner would not affect the overall situation of the Yang Region. On the other hand, Chongji Island could strengthen the Junggenjia's power in the coastal archipelago. It was an expansion of the family's influence.
To a certain extent, this was also an exchange of benefits during the "biscuit" segment.
However, the war against Yang was the result of Chung Geng Sheng's insistence. When the "biscuit" was ready to be "biscuit", Jung Genzun came out to preside over it!
Logically speaking, this did not make sense.
However, Jung Genzun did it for the Junggenjia's benefit, so no one could object. This was because Chongxuan, Chu Liang, and Chung Geng Sheng were not able to push Qi to attack Yang Region on their own. They also borrowed the power of their family. It was also because of their family's support that they were able to make such a huge gamble.
At the end of the day, there was no reason not to let their family reap the benefits.
To the Junggenjia, exchanging the position of Rizhao County's town commissioner for ten years of Chongji Island was a choice that had more advantages than disadvantages.
But for Zhong Xuan Sheng himself, it was like drawing water with a sieve!
Without a doubt, Jiang Wang would stand on his side. If he could get the position of Rizhao County's town commissioner, the entire Rizhao County would become Chung Geng Sheng's base.
On the other hand, ten years on Chongji Island would be ten years for the entire Junggenjia. At most, Chung Geng Sheng would be able to get some leftovers.
That Jung Genzun, whom Jiang Wang had yet to meet, was decisive in his actions. He had considered everything thoroughly.
That time in the Heaven's Secret Territory, Chongxuan's obstruction was more like a casual move. He did not even get Jung Genzun's serious promise.
Wang Yiwu's participation was more like Wang Yiwu's initiative. Or rather, it was a casual response to Chung Geng Sheng's sudden change in leadership. It was not Jung Genzun's serious plan. Obtaining a spot in the Heaven's Secret Territory in such a short time was enough to show his ability.
Only this time, Jung Genzun truly made a move.
He made a move against Chung Geng Sheng.
Regardless of whether Jung Genzun had finally gathered his strength, or whether he had just found the time to do so. As soon as he made a move, he plucked the fruit of Chung Geng Sheng's victory!
It was no wonder that Chung Geng Sheng was so upset.
"At least this proves one thing!" Jiang Wang said in a deep voice, "At least now, Jung Genzun has to treat you as an opponent!"
Previously, whether Chung Geng Sheng made friends in Linzi or operated his forces, Jung Genzun's reaction was neither warm nor warm. It was as if he could not gather his energy and did not care at all.
At least now, it proved that Chung Geng Sheng was no longer an existence that could be ignored.
"Yes!" Chung Geng Sheng patted Jiang Wang. "I rushed over to comfort you. I didn't expect you to be the one comforting me!"
He paused. "I just wanted to tell you that we have had worse times. Of course, we deserve better times!"
At such a difficult time, the first thing he thought of was to comfort Jiang Wang's possible disappointment. It was enough to show their friendship.
Jiang Wang smiled. "Now that you're here, the door is wide open! Let alone the mood! "
…
In Chongxuan Chu Liang's residence, Ding Yuanhou's plaque had just been changed.
The newly appointed Rizhao County Guardian, Tian Antai, had been standing in the courtyard for a long time.
After lunch, Chongxuan Chu Liang walked slowly to the courtyard and looked at Tian Antai with his hands behind his back. "Is Rizhao County Guardian here to demonstrate your power?"
Tian Antai bowed respectfully. "I'm here to thank you for your kindness and to ask for forgiveness!"
Of course, he was thanking Chu Liang for helping him. Of course, he was asking for forgiveness for stealing the Rizhao County Guardian.
Tian Antai had the support of the Tian family, was appointed by the Qi Emperor, and was not in the army. Tian Antai did not have to do this.
But he still came.
"I'm impressed that you're here to ask for forgiveness."
Chongxuan Chu Liang smiled. "This is Tian Anping's idea, right?"
Tian Antai did not dare to admit or deny it. He only said, "I'm afraid of you!"
"Good plan, Tian Anping. If I whip you, I'll be tarnishing your reputation. If I kill you, I'll be going against the Emperor's will. "
Chongxuan Chu Liang said and narrowed his eyes. "But Tian Antai, tell me, if I want to kill someone, will I care about these things?"
Tian Antai's back was drenched in cold sweat. He groaned in his heart.
Two hundred and ten thousand soldiers were slaughtered just like that. If Chongxuan Chu Liang decided to be ruthless, would he really care about these things?
"Master Hou, you're mighty. Of course, of course …"
He said 'of course' for a long time but still could not come up with a reason.
Chongxuan Chu Liang waved his hand impatiently. "That's enough. Go back and tell Tian Anping that I won't kill you, but he has to remember this favor! "
Even a fierce person like Chongxuan Chu Liang had to compromise in the end …
Tian Antai was relieved. He bowed and left in a hurry.
Although Xiong Tu did not do anything to him, it was worse than being tortured.
If possible, he did not want to come to Ding Yuan's residence ever again.
However, he did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that …
He did not have the courage to reject his brother's request.
