This is when Li Chen wants to completely take away the Yulin Guard.
But faced with such a thing, he couldn't stop Li Chen from making such a request.
This is the price you pay for doing things.
Although Zhao Xuanji had already prepared for such a price, when faced with paying the price but still not getting the results he wanted, Zhao Xuanji was still so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
Habayashi Weinan Camp!!
He managed the Yulin Guard for who knows how many years before he took it down and gave it to Li Chen completely!
"What your Highness said is true."
"Duan Jinjiang's crimes are extremely heinous. He has controlled the Ministry of War for many years. I am worried that there are still his followers in the Ministry of War."
Li Chen said meaningfully: "Several positions in the Ministry of War also need to be adjusted."
Zhao Xuanji said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, you have bitten off more than you can chew."
"I have good teeth."
Li Chen chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Nowadays, many positions in the cabinet are vacant, but government affairs cannot be neglected for a day. I want to recommend General Su Zhenting to the cabinet. What does the chief minister think?"
Zhao Xuanji's eyes turned cold.
Other positions can be discussed.
But the position in the cabinet is definitely not acceptable.
This is Zhao Xuanji's absolute bottom line.
He said coldly: "This dynasty has never had a precedent of military generals entering the cabinet. If this happens, lest the military generals have too much power and threaten the imperial power, I will ask Your Highness to do so."
Li Chen was not surprised by Zhao Xuanji's fierce reaction.
If he wants to influence Zhao Xuanji's cabinet, it is just like Zhao Xuanji wants to influence his power to supervise the country.
This is definitely something that will force the other party to turn over the table and fall out.
So Li Chen never thought about actually taking over the cabinet.
At least Zhao Xuanji is still alive, so this idea is unlikely to come true.
Besides, Li Chen never thought about letting Su Zhenting join the cabinet.
The reason is exactly what Zhao Xuanji said, military generals are not allowed to join the cabinet.
Su Zhenting's authority is already great enough, but no matter how great it is, it will be difficult to control.
Li Chen didn't want to knock down one Zhao Fu, but raised another General Su.
"Then...the transfer of positions in the Ministry of War?"
Looking at Li Chen's smiling face, Zhao Xuanji's eyes were cold.
He really couldn't understand how the prince could be an older fox than himself at such a young age.
Resisting the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood, Zhao Xuanji gritted his teeth and said: "The day before yesterday, Xi Wanli had a vacancy for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. The old minister thought that Shangguan Zhao, the right minister of the Ministry of War, could take up the position. As a result, the left and right ministers were vacant. Your Highness
You can promote talented people."
This old dog really has broken teeth and wants to tear off a piece of flesh.
Li Chen snorted coldly in his heart, but he did not persist on his face and said calmly: "That's very good."
It doesn't matter if you trade one full-time position for two deputy positions.
In fact, it is a power compromise between the East Palace and the Chief Assistant.
Li Chen wanted to get his hands on the power of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Xuanji was not willing to let Li Chen succeed easily.
But who loses and wins depends on the political skills of Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.
It is also common for a person in a principal position who lacks courage and ability to be sidelined by a deputy position.
But if this happens, Li Chen will have to think carefully about who to use for these two positions.
In the final analysis, there are still too few talents available at hand.
Li Chen, who was satisfied, was too lazy to continue acting with Zhao Xuanji, and walked towards his carriage with his hands behind his back.
"Old minister, I would like to send you to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Xuanji faced Li Chen, bowed respectfully and said.
