Chapter 1218 Small Court

Of course, what other people in the capital value most is not the convenience of getting in and out with Li Xiang, but the addition of the Tiance Admiral's Mansion. There are dozens of officials, big and small, and they all hold great power. Almost It is equivalent to another small court.

In the past, the princes had their own subordinate officials, and these people could all go to great power in the future. Now the court has been established on the prince's side, and there is another one on the grandson's side.

Of course, the power of Admiral Tiance's Mansion is greater, because the power here comes from the military. No matter what era it is, whoever has military power will have greater say, so when the emperor After the imperial decree came down, people from all walks of life in the capital began to run around, hoping to find a place for their family members.

Cheng Yaojin Mansion.

"Have you come over and walked around? I've heard about it in the past two days. The threshold of the Admiral's Mansion is almost broken. Our daughter only gave birth to a girl. Isn't this a bit unstable? These two sons Now that I’m old enough, I can’t hang around in the army all the time, I should find a position in the Admiral’s Mansion.”

Mrs. Cheng said with some worry that it had been two days since Li Xiang's canonization came down, but during these two days, there was no movement at all from their house.

"I said, aren't you worrying blindly? If our son-in-law doesn't care for us, is he still the son-in-law of our family? I already know what kind of positions those two boys have. The generals on the left and right will definitely not have their turn. There are two of them, but two of the eight lieutenants must be theirs."

Cheng Yaojin said while drinking tea that he was still very confident in Li Xiang. Not to mention giving birth to a girl, even if he did not give birth to a child, his two sons would definitely have their place.

"Don't talk so eloquently. Things are different now than before. I heard that there are many people who send their daughters and granddaughters to the general's mansion. If you meet someone who is better than the two of our family..."

Mrs. Chen said with some worry, these men are always fond of the new and dislike the old. Even though Li Xiang has the two girls in his family in his hands, if there is a better one, he might just replace the eldest brother of another family. .

"Master, madam, Eunuch Xia is here."

Just when Cheng Yaojin frowned, Manager Xia from the East Palace had already arrived.

Mrs. Cheng quickly gave Cheng Yaojin a look. Although this was a eunuch next to her uncle, she was the eunuch in charge of the middle palace after all. It was not a problem for you to sit in the hall. If this spread, it wouldn't mean Shall we take care of it?

Cheng Yaojin thought about the same thing. Today is different from the past. My uncle is already General Xiangfeng Tiance, which is the highest authority in the Tang Dynasty.

"Congratulations to my father-in-law, congratulations to my wife..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could stand up, Eunuch Xia had already come in first and quickly pressed Cheng Yaojin down on his seat. This guy had been following Li Xiang for a long time, so he naturally knew that Cheng Yaojin was Li Xiang. It is a benchmark set up, and it is set for those old generals to see. If Cheng Yaojin's life is not good, then who of those old generals will be willing to come to his side? Unless their brains are sick.

"Eunuch Xia, stop talking nonsense. What happy events can I have here?"

Cheng Yaojin did not stand up, with doubts on his face, but he was already happy in his heart. With this acting skill alone, he could rank among the top three in the Tang Dynasty court.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help it anymore and wanted to ask if it was about her two sons. Although she was now a fifth-grade military general, which was considered very good, the problem was that the emperor had changed the system. Admiral Tiance's Mansion will definitely be in charge of the army from now on. If you can't get in, it will mean you are excluded from the circle of power. No matter how high your rank is, what's the use?

According to what the high-ranking officials in the capital say now, even if you work as a handyman without any level of class, you will still be able to achieve great success when Li Xiang ascends the throne.

"The old general is really worthy of our highness. He specifically asked me to deliver the letter of appointment. This is for the two young generals. From now on, the two young generals will enter the Tiance Admiral's Mansion and serve as deputy generals."

After Eunuch Xia finished speaking, the big stone in the hearts of Cheng Yaojin and his wife finally fell to the ground. Although the two of them had been thinking about this position for a long time and felt that it was a sure thing, Li Xiang had never been there. Statement, so these two people can't sleep well every day.

When he saw the two letters of appointment, Cheng Yaojin discovered that there was another thread in Eunuch Xia's sleeve.

"Lao Xia, what are you doing?"

If it were anyone else, they would naturally not dare to ask more questions. After all, this is related to the secret of Admiral Tiance's mansion.

"This is for you. Admiral Tiance's office has established six councilors, who are second only to our Highness above the two generals on the left and right."

When he heard this, Cheng Yaojin's face shone a little. He really didn't expect that he would still have his own position in Admiral Tiance's Mansion. You must know that these six counselors must be newly established, equivalent to the position of consultants.

Among the generals of the older generation, although Cheng Yaojin is also ranked as a prince, he is not very outstanding. Now that he has this title, he is ranked first. In fact, since he became Li Xiang's father-in-law From the beginning, you were already ahead of everyone. Who made the right choice in the first place?

Eunuch Xia left with the heavy bag of money, and then rushed to the next place to deliver letters of appointment to others. How many people in the capital were waiting to send letters of appointment? Li Xiang has also locked himself in the room these days, and has to negotiate with all these people.

Of course, Li Xiang has not taken all the positions, so he must leave a certain amount of suspense.

As long as there are still vacancies, the remaining people will inevitably fight for it. Only when you are fighting for it, can Li Xiang get better benefits. Of course, Li Xiang understands this in his two lives.

During this day, Manager Qian and Manager Xia were busy non-stop. Some people in the capital were happy and some were worried.

Niu Jinda, the general on the left, and Su Dingfang, the general on the right.

Basically, neither of these two people would make any calculations. After all, these two people were Li Xiang's cronies, and they were also generals of the middle generation of the Tang Dynasty.

They are slightly younger than Cheng Yaojin's generation, but much older than Cheng Chumo's generation, so the two of them have already determined these two positions. This is not surprising to everyone. For them, no one else has. What complaints are there? They were killed on the battlefield. (End of chapter)
