Chapter 40 Wei Xiang, you seem to have different opinions?
Someone is going to say, isn’t Zhao Shuo the inherited Zhao Dun position?
Of course this is not.
Although Zhao Shuo inherited Zhao Dun and entered the Six Lords, Zhao Shuo inherited the position of Zuo Xuke, who was killed by Wei Xiang in Qiu Sheng.
Now that Zhao Dun has died, there are only five people left among the six ministers, and it is a problem for who will fill the remaining vacancy.
The position of the Qing clan is actually relatively fixed, with a bit of hereditary flavor inside.
According to convention, Xu Tong, the son of Xu Ke, should fill this vacancy, so that Xu will continue to remain among the six ministers.
But now Xu's family has been kicked out of the core level of Jin with Qiu Feng's failure, so Xu Tong naturally cannot inherit the Six Lords again.
A new family will replace the Xu family and become the youngest among the six major nobles.
This will undoubtedly become the focus of the next political game.
As the oldest of the Zhao family members present, Zhao family is the leader of the Zhao family, Zhao Shuo's Zhong Shu, and the Duke's doctor Yuan Tong slowly spoke: "We Zhao family should let my brother go up this time."
With Yuan Tong's words, everyone's eyes fell on Han Jue.
Han Jue was the adopted son of Zhao, and his absolute confidant before Zhao Dun passed away. He was also a minister of Jin. He was the best choice for Zhao, regardless of age, loyalty or qualifications.
Yuan Tong's words were immediately recognized by everyone, and even Zhao Shuo was no exception.
Han Jue stood up and bowed to Zhao Shuo: "Thank you for your appreciation."
The reason why Zhao Shuo inherited the title of Zhao Meng was actually very obvious, because it was to unite and inspire the morale of the Zhao family.
Zhao Shuo nodded and smiled at Han Jue: "Uncle Jue, you and me will have to support each other in the future."
After becoming a nobleman, Han Jue was like establishing his own family and no longer a retainer of the Zhao family. Therefore, Zhao Shuo's attitude towards Han Jue began to become equal from the moment.
So, the Zhao family began a heated discussion on how to push Han Jue to the position of Six Ministers.
As the young concubine's son, Wei Xiang sat at the farthest from Zhao Shuo and the closest to the door. Hearing the words of the Zhao family, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
As a time traveler, Wei Xiang knew very clearly that Han Jue could not join Liuqing this time.
Wei Xiang didn't plan to say it out in public. He was going to quietly persuade Zhao Shuo after the meeting.
Whether Zhao Shuo listens or not, Wei Xiang will be able to feel like he is predicting things at that time, and this wave will not be a loss.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Young concubine's son Wei Xiang, do you seem to have any different opinions?"
The next moment, everyone's eyes in the lobby fell on Wei Xiang.
Wei Xiang looked up and found that Zhao Dun's half-brother Lou Ying was smiling at him. The words just now came from Lou Ying's mouth.
Wei Xiang coughed and said seriously: "Doctor Lou misunderstood, but Wei Xiang has no objection."
"Is that?" Lou Ying's face suddenly became gloomy, as if he was quite unhappy with Wei Xiang's denial: "Why did Doctor Ben see you shaking his head just now? Could it be that Doctor Ben is blind?"
Wei Xiang wanted to say that you were indeed blind, but when he said that it was this guy who saved his father and uncle's lives, so he closed his mouth.
Yuan Tong's eyes turned on Lou Ying and Wei Xiang, and said slowly: "Wei Xiang, I have something to say. Although Zhao's family is big, they still can't tolerate a young son like you."
Wei Xiang sighed in his heart and stood up: "Return to the sect leader, lord. I think that if Doctor Han is promoted this time, it is very likely that he will not be successful."
There was an uproar.
Lou Ying tsk her mouth and looked at Wei Xiang curiously: "Okay, you didn't expect you to look like a dull man. You really dare to say something! Okay, I will appreciate you like this."
Wei Xiang looked at Lou Ying and had the urge to sew this smelly mouth.
How can you be so powerful?
Yuan Tong looked at Han Jue and found that Han Jue could not see anything except his increasingly serious expression. So he turned to Wei Xiang and said lightly: "Why do you think so?"
Yuan Tong's words were obviously dissatisfied.
It is almost a consensus among the Zhao family that supporting Han Jue to the throne. You, a young concubine of Wei Xiang, now say this, do you think you are smarter than all the Zhao elites present?
Wei Xiang sighed. He knew before he spoke that this was likely to be the result, but now...
Wei Xiang said slowly: "Back to the sect leader, our Zhao family has just won a victory and eliminated Xu Ke, and he is already afraid of the king and the officials. So this time, they will definitely try every means to reject Zhao's recommendation to Dr. Han."
Beside Yuan Tong, Zhao Shuo's third uncle sneered and said, "Of course they want to veto it, but can they veto it?"
Wei Xiang looked up at Ping Kuo and said calmly: "Of course."
quiet.
There was silence in the lobby.
Even Zhao Shuo, the lord of Wei Xiang, looked at Wei Xiang at this moment quite strange.
Wei Xiang's words were simply a slap and suspicion on Zhao's face!
The powerful Zhao family of the government and the country was rejected by the nomination of the Six Ministers?
Ping Kuo laughed furiously: "Okay, okay, you Wei Xiang, you can say such words. I just wonder if you are a minister of Zhao."
Wei Xiang took a deep breath and bowed, "The good doctor learned that this time it was not only the Junhou who would stand against our Zhao family, but also the Zhongxing family and Zhi family. Zhongxing family Lin's father did not get the position of Shangqing. This time the counterattack must be unusually crazy."
Ping Kuo shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Your Majesty is just a silly man. Lin's father in the Central Bank is even more useless. Qiu Feng has taught them enough lessons. How dare they move? Besides, Shangqing Que is also on our side. Even if they really have any ideas, what's the use?"
Wei Xiang sighed: "Doctor Ping, this is the problem. This time, the competition for the position of the Six Ministers... I will probably not stand on our Zhao family's side."
There was a brief quiet in the lobby, and then a burst of laughter rang out.
Lou Ying smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth, and after a while, she stopped laughing and compared her admiring gesture to Wei: "Okay, I really appreciate you more and more!"
With a bang, the head of the Zhao clan, Yuan Tong, slapped the table unbearable: "Brother Ji, this is the place for family discussions, pay attention to your demeanor!"
Yuan Tong's anger made Lou Ying calm down a little, and sat down again awkwardly.
Then, Yuan Tong's eyes fell on Wei Xiang.
