Chapter 6 Hit the ball to set Sanchuan

Let's say that Chen Jingxuan came to Tian Lingzi's mansion and proposed to serve as the Xichuan festival envoy. The two brothers are angry and are in collusion, only for personal gain, regardless of Li Tang's country and community.

"I think Xichuan is our best place to stand! Since Cui Anqian arrived in Xichuan, he has really had two sons and managed Xichuan in an orderly manner. In particular, his newly established yellow-headed army is very powerful. As long as you transfer Cui Anqian away from Xichuan and let me enter Xichuan as a jiedushi, you won't be afraid of Huangchao thieves! In history, Xichuan has rarely suffered war, because the mountains and roads are dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Chen Jingxuan talked about it.

"Well, what the eldest brother said is reasonable, so I will find a way to transfer Cui Anqian from Xichuan. Now is the time for us to teach Cui Anqian a lesson. This guy thinks he is trusted by the emperor and looks down on us. We will let him know our strength this time!" Tian Lingzi screamed fiercely.

Early the next morning, Tian Lingzi came to the Elephant Hall alone and found Li Yan, and Chen Shufei was also next to him. Tian Lingzi said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has something to ask for!"

Li Yong asked, "Father came to me so early today. There must be something important. Let's talk about it!"

When Tian Lingzi heard this, he couldn't help but be happy to know that there was a promise of seeking an official position for Chen Jingxuan. He coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, it's like this. Chen Jingxuan, Chen Shufei's father, wants to be the governor of Xichuan to prepare for war and do his best for the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Recently, the Huangchao thieves are quite rampant. Many cities and towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains have made them afraid of thieves like tigers, looking at each other and preserving their strength. Chen Jingxuan is determined to do a good job in the construction of the Sichuan army and train an army for the Tang Dynasty to fight against thieves and bandits! Once the capital is in danger, he can lead the Sichuan army to the king of Qin. I hope your majesty will allow it!"

Chen Jingxuan had told Chen Shufei about this before and asked her to recommend him to serve as Xichuan governor in front of the emperor, but at that time, Li Yong thought that Cui An's potential Xichuan was well governed and did not agree.

Before Li Shufei could speak, she knelt in front of Li Yan. Ying said, "Your Majesty, what my uncle just said is for the purpose of Your Majesty, for the purpose of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty must agree to my uncle's request this time and let my father be the governor of Xichuan!"

Li Yan frowned slightly and felt very embarrassed. He said, "Cui Anqian is the younger brother of the former prime minister and a rare military and political talent of the Tang Dynasty. He has no major fault. How can I replace him at will?"

"No, if your majesty doesn't agree to my concubine's request, my concubine won't get up!" Chen Shufei will not give up.

"Ah, my concubine, get up first. Let me think about it again!" Li Yan sighed.

Tian Lingzi drummed his eyes, took a step forward, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, this is Lu's memorial, saying that Cui An may abuse torture and kill many innocent people in the name of arresting thieves. If Cui Anqian continues like this, the last pure land of the Tang Dynasty will also provoke civil unrest. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will really be besieged on all sides! The old slave begged His Majesty to let Chen Jingxuan serve as Xichuan's jiedushi and replace such an official as Cui Anqian, so that Xichuan can be cured!"

Li Yan took over the letter handed by Tian Lingzi and glanced at it. It was indeed written by Lu, indicating that Tian Lingzi's words were well-founded. Li Yan pondered for a long time and said, "Well, it's rare for my father and brother to be loyal to the country. I must give Chen Aifei's face. Then let Chen Jingxuan serve as the governor of Xichuan. As for Cui Anqian, let's stay as the prince's guest and Dongdu.

"Your Majesty! The old slave has retreated!" Tian Lingzi saw that his goal had been achieved and left.

Chen Shufei stood up and put her second-hand arms around Li Yan's neck. She was as fragrant as an orchid and coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to my concubine. Tonight, my concubine must serve you well! Make your whole body comfortable!"

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "When you sing and make peace, I can't help but refuse to agree!"

After the news that Chen Jingxuan was designated as the envoy of Xichuan, Tian Lingzi's confidants talked about it. Yang Shili, Niu Xun and Luo Yuanjiao found Tian Lingzi and also asked to be the governor of Xichuan. In a word, they were not satisfied.

Tian Lingzi knew that although Chen Jingxuan was his own brother, he could not publicly protect Chen Jingxuan. Tian Lingzi has always appeared in front of his subordinates with a fair and just face.

"Sili, Xiaoniu, Yuanjiao, don't worry. You guys are fighting for this Xichuan governor. If this matter spreads, it will be unfavorable to us! Everything should put the overall situation first. I think the governors of Dongchuan, Xichuan and Shannan West Road can be replaced by our people. The three of you, plus Chen Jingxuan, play ball together. Whoever plays well has the priority. Four to three, the worst player, can only be an official elsewhere. What do you think of this method? Tian Lingzi came up with a crooked idea.

"Hahaha, I think this is fine!" Niu Xun laughed.

Yang Shili and Luo Yuanjiao also agreed to such a selection, and this matter was settled.

On a sunny day, Tian Lingzi asked Li Yong to play football at the horse court. Li Yan brought Chen Shufei, Gao Zhaoyi and Wen Zhaoyi to the horse court. Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili, Niu Xun, Luo Yuanyu and others had already arrived at the horse court. As soon as Li Yan arrived, everyone began to play football.

After kicking for a while, they stopped and began to rest with each other. Li Yan is obviously very skilled and proud. Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili and others came to Li Yan's side and took the opportunity to flatter him.

Seeing that Li Yong was in a good mood, Tian Lingzi said to Li Yong, "Your Majesty, the old slave told you last time that Chen Jingxuan was appointed as the jiedushi of Xichuan, because my subordinates were not convinced and all wanted to be this jiedushi. The old slave thought about it and wanted to decide in the form of gambling on polo. Whoever wins the first place will be the envoy of Xichuan, the second will be the envoy of Dongchuan, and the third will be the envoy of Shannan West Road. Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili, Niu Xun and Luo Yuanyu participated in the game, and one was eliminated.

Li Yong listened and clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's really fun. Let's start the comparison!" I'm here to watch the battle!"

Chen Shufei, Gao Zhaoyi and Wen Zhaoyi are beside Li Yan, playing with each other, all of which are not decent.

The game began, and Chen Jingxuan ran fast. The polo seemed to stick to his feet, and it was difficult for others to compete for the polo. In a long time, Chen Jingxuan scored several goals with the most goals. Yang Shili won the second place, Niu Xun won the third place, and Luo Yuanqi was the most unlucky, ranking last.

Tian Lingzi screamed, "Now please announce the appointment and removal of the Sanchuan jiedushi!"

Li Yong stood up and announced loudly: "I have decided to let Chen Jingxuan serve as Xichuan jiedushi, Yang Shili as Dongchuan jiedushi, and Niu Yu as Shannan Xidao jiedushi. Luo Yuangao's official position remains unchanged and still serves as the governor of Heyang.

Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili and Niu Xun were overjoyed and knelt on the horse court to thank them. Luo Yuanqi's face was gloomy, and he was the first to leave the horse court.

In fact, in terms of military talent, Luo Yuanjiao is the best among these four people.
