Liu Wenzhong also didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would say such a thing at this time. He looked at Lu Xiangsheng in front of him, as if he knew Lu Xiangsheng for the first time.
The reason why Lu Xiangsheng persuaded Zhao Wen to become emperor at this time was actually his own petty thinking.
It was a bit embarrassing for Lu Xiangsheng to come to Xuanzhen at this time.
Lu Xiangsheng understood that when he came to Xuanzhen at this time, he hadn't accomplished an inch of merit. Even if Zhao Wen was willing to reuse him, the people below would definitely not be convinced.
Zhao Wen's strength can overwhelm the entire Ming Dynasty, and the new dynasty is about to be established. If he can't make contributions, his position will be very embarrassing after the new dynasty is established.
Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to take advantage of this time to persuade Zhao Wen to join him, and no matter what, he should make some contributions first.
In ancient times, Conglong's contribution was considered a considerable achievement.
"My lord, after Shaanxi and Henan are captured, Sichuan and Huguang will definitely not last long.
At this time, the position of Chief Soldier is no longer worthy of your lord.Moreover, this position was given by the Ming court. If your lord does not ascend the throne as emperor for a day, then your lord will be a rebel minister for a day.
Your Excellency may not feel anything, but you should also think about these civil and military officials and common people under your command.
No matter what he does, this person with a bad name doesn't have the confidence to do so. "
Not to be outdone, Hong Chengchou hurriedly stood up and spoke to Zhao Wen.
"Yes, my lord, it's time to become emperor and establish a political power." Liu Wenzhong also stood up.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange.
Zhao Wen didn't express his attitude. He didn't say anything. He just looked at these three people, waved his hands at them, and took a deep breath, "Go down first!"
Looking at Zhao Wen's posture, the three of them could guess what Zhao Wen was thinking right now.
If in the past, they said such things in front of Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen would definitely stop them directly.
But this time it didn't happen, what does it mean?This means that Zhao Wen already has this idea in his heart!
"I will take my leave!"
The three held back the excitement in their hearts, and then retreated.
After the three of them walked out of the Commander's Mansion, Hong Chengchou bowed his hands to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face, "I really didn't expect Brother Lu to have such courage and dare to persuade Lord Commander in at this time!"
"Damn, why are you so timid? Don't you think that the position of chief soldier is no longer worthy of the status of chief soldier?
You can think about it, if the position of the Chief Soldier cannot be promoted, then the positions of the Chief Soldier's subordinates cannot be promoted either.
The civil servants are fine, after all, what has changed is only a title, the management is about the same, the military achievements are few, the promotions are not frequent, and the influence is not great.
But those military generals are different. I investigated in Xuanzhen before, and some hundred households could be promoted to thousand households, but because the status of the commander-in-chief was not promoted, these hundred households can only be a hundred households.
If a hundred households are promoted to a thousand households, then the thousand households will be promoted further, and if the thousand households are promoted, the generals above the thousand households must also be promoted.
In the end, the generals will also be promoted.But what will these participants be promoted to?Lieutenant General?If they are promoted to the general soldier, what will the general soldier do?
Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, and the others already have tens of thousands of soldiers. Do you think the position of general can do it?
If the commander-in-chief doesn't get promoted, these people won't be able to get promoted.One radish and one hole, these things cannot be changed.
These generals have been with the commander-in-chief for a long time, so they may not have any complaints in their hearts.What about the hundreds of households, general banners, and small banner officials below?
Are they still going to be promoted?Without promotion, they will definitely not say anything in a short period of time, but what about after a long time?How big is the land?
At that time, they will definitely have complaints in their hearts, and the family members of these people are basically in Xuanzhen. If it gets out, their family members will think that the commander-in-chief is unwilling to promote them and suppress them.
This will definitely have an impact on the reputation and prestige of the Chief Soldier.
But if they were promoted, what promotion would they be given?How could they go up if they didn't move on the top?
Is it possible to expand the number of participating generals?This is even more impossible. Today's generals are basically the old men of the chief soldier, and they are all just generals. If the people behind are promoted to generals, what will Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and the others think?
Originally, I was still your superior, and you still had to obey my orders, but with a turn of your head, you will be on the same level as me, and you will directly obey the orders of the Chief Soldier.Do you think this is appropriate?Will they not have complaints in their hearts?
Also, as far as I know, Datong General Soldier Man Gui and now Mao Wenlong in Far East Town are both General Soldier positions.And the position of the commander-in-chief is also the commander-in-chief, do you think this is appropriate? "
As expected of a capable person, Lu Xiangsheng has been able to figure out these problems clearly in the short time since he came to Xuanzhen.
"But why didn't you tell Mr. General Bing just now?" Hong Chengchou looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a puzzled expression. He couldn't understand why Lu Xiangsheng didn't tell Zhao Wen just now.
"Brother Hong, do you think it's appropriate for me to say these things to Mr. Zongbing? We can only name one or two of these things, and let Mr. Zongbing think about it for himself. We must never say it clearly.
When I say this in front of the Chief Soldier, isn’t it just to tell the Chief Soldier, Sir, these generals and soldiers under you have long been looking forward to your enthronement and proclaiming the emperor. If you do not ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, these generals and soldiers will definitely complain.
Do you think it's okay for me to say that?Isn't this provoking the relationship between the commander-in-chief and the general in front of the commander-in-chief?I can't afford this crime. Lu Xiangsheng looked at Hong Chengchou, lowered his voice, and said to Hong Chengchou and Liu Wenzhong.
Liu Wenzhong listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words, and kept nodding, "You are right, we must never tell the commander-in-chief about these things. Zhao Daniu, Song Hu and the others followed the adults earlier than me. Back then, Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, and the others were in the same pot as Mr. Zongbing, and Zhao Daniu and Song Hu had once rescued Mr. Zongbing.
Zhao Daniu and the others are very loyal to the Chief Soldier, and the Chief Soldier also trusts them very much.Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to stay in Shanxi with their soldiers and horses, and the commander-in-chief would come back by himself.
So, we must never tell the Chief Soldier about this matter, we can only let the Chief Soldier think about it himself! "
"As for today's news, I think we should pass it on first. The Chief Soldier didn't let us pass it on just now, so let's spread it first.
At that time, generals like Zhao Daniu will definitely be more active than us. Once these people are active, the commander-in-chief will naturally think of this. Hong Chengchou looked at the two of them and said in a low voice.
"Yes, you are right!" Liu Wenzhong clapped his hands together and replied in affirmation.
The three of them walked towards the distance while talking.
When the sun set on the western mountain, all the civil and military officials in Xuan Town knew what happened today.
A few days ago, Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, Liu Wu, Wang Qi and the others returned to Xuanzhen. After meeting with Zhao Wen, they stayed at home, either having children or drinking with friends.
Originally, they had already discussed that they planned to go to the General Military Mansion during the Spring Festival to meet Zhao Wen and send a congratulatory form.
But when the news about Lu Xiangsheng's persuasion to join Zhao Wen spread this morning, these people couldn't bear it anymore and gathered together in advance.
In the study room of Zhao Daniu's home, there was a round table. Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, Liu Wu and the others were sitting around the table, talking about this matter.
Zhao Daniu originally planned to find Wang Qi and Li Xiaosan together, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea.
Since Wang Qi was transferred away by Zhao Wen, they seldom saw Wang Qi again. Even if they did, Wang Qi was gloomy, and his whole body was like ice in an ice cellar. Zhao Daniu felt that they and Wang Qi Between them, the feeling they had at the beginning has long since disappeared, and they really can't get along.
As for Li Xiaosan, now he is with Zhao Wen, he is the commander of Zhao Wen's guards, and he lives in the general's mansion. Even if he calls at this time, he can't come.
So, now Zhao Daniu is only called Song Hu and Liu Wu.
Zhao Daniu is a rough man. Although he set up a study room, it is just a show, and the study room is rarely used.
Originally, Zhao Daniu planned to discuss this matter in the hall, but thought that the hall was too big to be suitable for talking, so he set the place in the study.
Zhao Daniu sat on the main seat, he looked at the people at the table, and said with a smile: "Today, this man named Lu Xiangsheng is quite discerning, our Lord Chief Soldier should have ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor a long time ago."
"Hey, don't tell me, I think so too. If Mr. Zong Bing is not enthroned and proclaimed emperor for a day, our positions will not change. Our positions will not change, and the positions of the people below will not change.
You don't know, some of my subordinates have been working for three or four years, but it is because the position of the commander-in-chief cannot be promoted, and our position cannot be promoted, so their positions cannot be promoted. "Song Hu looked at Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu and whispered.
Compared with Zhao Daniu, Song Hu's mind is much more delicate than Zhao Daniu's, and he can find many problems that Zhao Daniu can't.
Liu Wudao: "You are right. Even if our position remains the same, we will definitely not say anything. After all, we were in the same pot as the commander-in-chief. But the officers and soldiers below us are different. Soldiers are nothing more than full stomachs and high officials.
Now because the position of the commander-in-chief remains unchanged, they have no way to be promoted.Although they don't say it, but I can feel it. "
"Yeah, actually. I also think that the Chief Soldier should be enthroned and proclaimed emperor. Let alone us, the position of Chief Soldier is too embarrassing given that we have enough land in our hands now.
Shanxi Xuanzhen Grassland Nuer Gandusi, after the Chinese New Year, Shaanxi and Henan will also be won in a few months.If Mr. Chief Soldier can't go up all the time, it really can't be justified! "Zhao Daniu let out a long breath and said.

Chapter 566 Liu Wenzhong's Thoughts
"I think it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Tomorrow is the Spring Festival. Why don't we mention this matter when we meet the adults tomorrow? Anyway, we have to talk about it sooner or later. Why don't we just talk about it tomorrow!" Zhao Daniu looked at Everyone in the study spoke.
As soon as Zhao Daniu's voice fell, Song Hu patted the table and said, "I think it's okay, let's clarify this matter to the commander-in-chief tomorrow."
"I have no opinion either!" Liu Wu also agreed with Zhao Daniu's opinion.
"Okay, then it's settled like this, let's explain this matter to the Chief Soldier together tomorrow!" Zhao Daniu said excitedly with a smile on his face.
……
When the bell of Zishi rang, the whole Xuan Town was filled with the sound of firecrackers.
All kinds of fireworks are constantly blooming in the sky above Xuanzhen. Tonight, Xuanzhen is destined to be a city that never sleeps.
Zhao Wen stood in the small square in front of the General Military Mansion. He hugged Zhao Mingyu and came to a fireworks pier.
Zhao Wen held Zhao Mingyu in his right hand and a burning incense in his left.
Zhao Wen pointed to the fireworks in front of him, looked at his son, and urged, "Go, let me show you a firework!"
Zhao Mingyu looked at the fireworks in front of him, and hugged Zhao Wen's waist with both hands, "Father, I don't dare, I'm afraid!"
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? A man, you can't be afraid in this life!" Zhao Wen said, stuffing the incense in Zhao Mingyu's hand, encouraging him as he stuffed it.
Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu stood behind Zhao Wen, watching the scene in front of them quietly.
Zhao Mingjing was hugged by the nanny, his eyes were bright, and he stared at the fireworks in front of him.
"Besides, don't dare, cowardly, too cowardly!" At this moment, Zhao Mingjing was struggling in the nurse's arms, and said in a childish voice: "I want to set off fireworks too. Big brother doesn't dare, I want to do so!"
Zhao Mingjing and Zhao Mingxuan also talk a lot now.
Zhao Mingjing was almost a year old at the end of his life, and he could walk even when he stumbled, but he was not very stable.Just in case, Zhao Mingjing was hugged by the nanny.
Hai Lanzhu turned around and glared at Zhao Mingjing, "What dare you? Your father didn't let you go, so just stay there!"
"My elder brother is too cowardly, he dares not dare, father, I dare, I dare to let go!" Zhao Mingjing kept yelling at Zhao Wen.
Hearing Zhao Mingjing's voice, Zhao Mingyu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Mingjing. Under the child's self-esteem, Zhao Mingyu said with a stubborn face: "Who said I dare not? I dare, and I will let you see it now!"
Li Xiaoying's eyes were on Zhao Mingyu from the beginning to the end, and she never left for a moment.
She looked at Zhao Mingyu without saying anything, just looked at Zhao Mingyu quietly.
As Zhao Mingyu said, he slipped down from Zhao Wen's arms, took the incense from Zhao Wen's hand, and tremblingly approached the fuze of the fireworks pier.
Because of nervousness, I did not ignite the fuse of the fireworks after lighting it several times.
Whenever Zhao Mingyu didn't ignite the fuse, Zhao Mingjing would taunt him.
Zhao Mingyu did not refute, but carefully put the incense in his hand on the fuze of the fireworks pier.
"Chichi!"
Finally, Zhao Mingyu lit the fuse of the fireworks pier.
Amidst a burst of hissing, the fuse of the fireworks pierced towards the inside.
Zhao Mingyu hurriedly covered his ears and rushed towards Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen picked up Zhao Mingyu and stepped back a few steps.
"Hey!"
After a few breaths, a firework bomb flew out of the firework pier and flew into the sky.
Zhao Mingyu was held in Zhao Wen's arms, and his eyes were fixed on the fireworks that flew out.
"Oh!"
When the firework bomb flew high into the sky, it exploded directly, and a huge firework appeared in the sky.
Zhao Mingyu looked at the fireworks in the sky, and shouted excitedly: "Daddy, look quickly, these are the fireworks I set off, these are the fireworks I set off!"
Zhao Wen kissed Zhao Mingyu on the face, "Haha, you are right, this is my son's firework!"
"Father, I want to set off fireworks too!" Zhao Mingjing struggled towards Zhao Wen in the nurse's arms.
Zhao Wen laughed, put Zhao Mingyu on the ground, walked up to the nanny, and hugged Zhao Mingjing in his arms.
"Daddy, I want to set off fireworks!" Zhao Mingjing said to Zhao Wen in a childish voice.
"All right, all right, let you set off the fireworks, let you set off the fireworks!" Zhao Wen smiled and took the incense from Zhao Mingyu's hand and handed it to Zhao Mingjing.
Zhao Mingjing took the incense and rubbed it against the unlit fireworks next to him.
Seeing this, Zhao Wen also hugged Zhao Mingjing and walked towards the unlit fireworks next to him.
Just as Zhao Wen hugged Zhao Mingjing to the side of the fireworks pier, Zhao Mingjing struggled to get out of Zhao Wen's arms.
Holding Zhao Mingjing in his arms, Zhao Wen walked towards the exposed fuse of the fireworks pier.
Zhao Mingjing's eyes were fixed on the fuse of the fireworks pier, and he moved the fuse in his hand to the fuze of the fireworks pier.
Zhao Mingjing's courage was much greater than Zhao Mingyu's, and he ignited the fuse of the fireworks pier all at once.
