Minister of War!
The position that Zhangchou Jianqiong was ainificant for anyone No deployment in the Bureau of Military Personnel could circumvent the orders of the Minister of War
Unlike the previous Minister of War, Zhangchou Jianqiong possessed both power and ambition If he were to rise to that position, there was no way he would be content with being a puppet ould defer to anyone
This was precisely the reason why the topic regarding Zhangchou Jianqiong's pro Gen had to reaffir towas an outsider in the royal court He was an uncontrollable variable whose appearance would mess up the distribution of power
This was precisely what the veterans of the royal court feared about hi the Minister of War all of a sudden was no joke
As such thoughts eained his cal Gen
"Brother Zhangchou, I've kept you waiting!"
At the sa Gen also stretched out a hand as a display of courtesy and walked forward In the entire Wang Clan, the only person as of equal standing to this Southern Protector-General was probably Wang Gen
The only difference between the was a overnh their fields of expertise didn't overlap, Wang Gen's credentials in the royal court weren't beneath that of Zhangchou Jianqiong In fact, due to the Wang Clan's standing, he had participated in the decision-'s prochou Jianqiong
It was to satiate his desire for such power that Zhangchou Jianqiong wanted to enter the royal court
"Haha, this !"
After chatting with Wang Gen, Zhangchou Jianqiong didn't take a seat, but turned his gazeinstead
"Thank you, lord, for your undue coratitude to you for the ional co had turned his sight to hi to hold back either He stepped forward and bowed graciously to the latter
"Haha, there's no need for thanks" Zhangchou Jianqiong waved his hands casually "It was athe fate of the empire, I only helped you out of my own conscience There's no need for you to think too e, the fact that you possess such astute judgenanimity, and a heart that worries for the nation is truly rare You'll surely achieve great things in the future"
He had noticed Wang Chong as soon as the younger ht that he wouldn't attract any attention just bya low profile, but this was impossible in itself
There were twoClan over to the Goguryeon's Ten Sun Tavern First, would be the influential Wang Gen, ielded the bulk of the authority in the clan, and the other would be the proud scion of the Wang Clan, who caused such a huge uproar with his actions
Hunaniestures; a position that neither demeans nor overstep his boundaries As expected of a scion fro Gen propping up the clan, the Wang Clan would surely decline when Wang Jiu Ling passed away From the looks of it now, that doesn't see Clan's prosperity will survive yet another generation!, Zhangchou Jianqiong thought as he instantaneouslyClan
Duke Jiu was old, and Wang Gen had already reached the peak of his career As such, the Wang Clan's future lay on the shoulders of the third generation offspring
A one was clearly Wang Chong Despite his young age, he had ed to walk out of the imperial prison alive Not to e Emperor, so his future was likely to be boundless
Back in their tichou Jianqiong, neither had succeeded in receiving the favor of the e didn't err badly, he would surely beco read the pulse of the Wang Clan, Zhangchou Jianqiong understood what he had to do to reinforce his standing in the capital
"Hahaha…!"
At thiseveryone's attention Wang Chong turned around and saw a figure walking out from one of the compartments on the third floor at this very “coincidental” moment
This person was dressed in a white robe and a black coronet He had a graceful disposition reure, Wang Chong fell into a shortZhao had clearly arrived early, but he chose to reht in the coreeted both his big uncle and him did he choose to make a tichou Jianqiong and Yang Zhao were intentionally going for
" Lord Zhangchou, how is it? I' Zhao chuckled heartily
"Indeed! Wang gongzi sure is an excellent youth, a dragon that soars above allClan possibly be ordinary?" Zhangchou Jianqiong s and Yang Zhao took with one another was h they were true brothers With just a glance, it was certain that they had a deep relationship
"Hahaha, we're all one fa, do take a seat!"
With an a Zhao walked over with a raised hand Astonishingly, he actually overstepped his boundaries and invited Wang Gen to his seat in place of the host, Zhangchou Jianqiong
