"Desire for power is not a bad thing. Only when you are full of ambition to climb up, can you get things done more steadfastly. In this way, you are much better than those mediocre officials who are idle and idle."
"At least, the desire to have power means to be motivated."
With Li Chen's explanation, his stubbornness became assertive, and his desire for power became ambitious.
The same person, explained by two different interpretations, has already formed two completely opposite images.
Su Zhenting looked dissatisfied after hearing this, and was about to say something else when he saw Li Chen said indifferently: "Okay, General Su, since it is a political appointment, you, the general of the commander-in-chief, should not interfere too much. In my heart,
You will know for yourself."
Seeing the conflict between the two, Zhao Xuanji, who was silent next to him, had no expression on his face, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
Su Zhenting, who has always been the number one confidant of the East Palace, was actually warned.
From Li Chen's attitude of alienating Su Zhenting, can it be concluded that Li Chen is also worried that Su Zhenting will have too much power in the future, creating a situation that cannot be lost, so he is starting to suppress him now?
It is possible.
But it still needs further observation.
When Zhao Xuanji's mind was spinning, Su Zhenting had already replied.
"My lord, I know I made a mistake and please punish me, Your Highness."
Zhao Xuanji turned his head and glanced at Su Zhenting. From his angle, he could only see Su Zhenting's side face with his head slightly lowered, without any expression.
He couldn't be said to be angry, let alone happy, he just had no expression.
Zhao Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly analyzed in his mind how credible the scene before him was, and whether Li Chen was really afraid of Su Zhenting and began to alienate and suppress him.
If this is true, then there will be a lot of room for maneuver during the period when the prince leaves Beijing.
"It's just a small matter."
Li Chen did not really punish Su Zhenting. After letting him go gently, he said to Zhao Xuanji: "Since the provincial order recommends it so, Lord Zhang Biwu is probably qualified for this position, and I agree."
Zhao Xuanji bowed deeply and said, "Old minister, thank you, Your Highness."
Waving his hands, Li Chen said: "The sky is getting darker. You two should go back separately. I also need to rest for a while."
With his fingers clasped on the table, Li Chen added another sentence: "Don't reveal even a single word of everything discussed here tonight."
Zhao Xuanji and Su Zhenting saluted at the same time: "I will keep my mouth shut."
"Um."
Li Chen responded, stood up and left.
Zhao Xuanji and Su Zhenting saluted again, "I will send you to His Highness the Crown Prince."
After Li Chen left, Su Zhenting and Zhao Xuanji left the East Palace respectively.
Neither of them liked each other, so naturally they had nothing to say.
When we arrived at the gate of the East Palace, we immediately parted ways.
Zhao Xuanji got on the sedan and left first. Su Zhenting was used to riding horses. As soon as he got on the horse and was about to leave, he saw a young eunuch coming in a hurry.
Su Zhenting recognized him as Xiaochuanzi, the eunuch who had saved his life some time ago and became a celebrity in the East Palace.
"General Su, please stay!"
Xiaochuanzi quickly came to Su Zhenting's tall horse and said respectfully: "The Crown Princess invites the general to come and have a meal with her."
Su Zhenting raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is Your Highness?"
Ogawazi smiled and said: "Of course His Highness is here too."
Su Zhenting then nodded and said, "Well, I will go with you, General."
"General please."
Xiaochuanzi led the way, Su Zhenting followed behind, and not long after, they arrived at Laiyi Hall.
"My lord, Su Zhenting, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."
