The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Thank you."

Wang Kang also responded with a smile.

After drinking a glass of wine, the waiter filled it up again. Wang Kang picked it up and said to King Wu Wei, "My lord, let me offer you a single toast."

When he came back this time, he did find that King Wuwei was really old. He was Jiang Chengli's elder and the younger brother of Old Zhao Huang, so he was indeed old.

After Jiang Chengli succeeded to the throne, he has been in charge of the military aircraft for more than ten years, and now it is time to retire...

For King Wuwei, Wang Kang respected him very much, and since he took over his position, he deserved a toast both emotionally and rationally.

King Wuwei picked up the wine glass, looked at Wang Kang and said, "You should know that I value you very much, and I am quite fond of you. It is my proposal that you serve as Minister of Military Aircraft in the Military Aircraft Department. According to my expectation, you are The most suitable person to succeed me."

"This class has lasted for so many years. Wang Kang, you are not kind, but it doesn't matter. It's not too late for you to take over now, so I will tell you a word."

"A family and a country are both a family. If everyone is not here, how can a small family survive?"

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, since I am old and exhausted, I will retire first."

King Wuwei spoke.

"I'm going to see off Fifth Uncle, you continue to accompany Eighth Prince well."

Jiang Chengli stood up and helped King Wuwei to leave.

Wang Kang was able to look at that back, and for the first time felt that the Wuwei King of the Zhao Kingdom was much bent...

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, perhaps because of this sudden appointment, or because of what King Wuwei said.

After Emperor Zhao and King Wuwei left, the banquet broke up not long after.

Wang Kang personally sent Gao Yin out of the palace.

"You Emperor Zhao are a smart man."

Gao Yin sighed on the road: "He sees you very clearly, you are not a person who plays power and clique at all, and the more he uses you and puts you in a high position, the more he trusts you."

"Brother Gao, I think you are not lamenting Emperor Zhao, but praising yourself."

"Haha."

Gao Yin froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "You bastard."

Then he said sternly: "But you are now in charge of the military aircraft, responsible for the war against Chu, and controlling the national army. You are in control, but it's a good thing. It's better for the two of us to get along."

"No, I can only have the right to deploy troops. The specific implementation of the strategy must be formulated according to the battle situation, and the main force to attack Chu is beyond my control."

"You can't help it?"

Gao Yin wondered: "The Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the national army, why can't they control them, and there are people you can't control?"

"Of course there is."

Wang Kang said: "According to the usual practice, the garrisons in various places have to change their defenses every few years, but that garrison does not have one. This army is quite special, or their commander is special!"

"Who is the commander-in-chief?"

Gao Yin asked curiously.

"The Fifth Prince of Zhao, Jiang Chenghua."

"Fifth prince, isn't that Zhao Huang's brother?"

"Yes, he is Zhao Huang's brother, he is Zhao Huang's fifth brother."

The coup d'état by the eldest prince Jiang Chengqian involved all the princes of Zhao State at that time, and only two princes survived in the end.

The seventh prince Jiang Chengli inherited the throne, while the fifth prince was sent to the east to guard the frontier!

The fifth prince, Jiang Chenghua, has been operating there for several years, and he is the commander-in-chief of that army, with a number of 15!

Therefore, Wang Kang said that even the Military Aircraft Department may not be able to manage this army, and Emperor Zhao has already appointed the fifth prince as the supreme commander of the attack on Chu, and is responsible for all battles. govern.

"understood."

Wang Kang said: "So I won't go to the front line. I can't go to listen to Jiang Chenghua's orders. One army can't be two commanders. This is a big taboo for military strategists!"

"I see."

Gao Yin said: "Then I didn't go to the front to deal with this person, have you heard about this person?"

"not sure."

Wang Kang said: "I just heard that this prince is very strict in governing the army, and his soldiers are fierce. He is stationed on the eastern border of Zhao State. He has been bordering Chu State for many years, and there are constant disputes. Bully."

"Naturally, there are merits."

"Ok."

Gao Yin sighed: "What I hope most is that you can go to the front line to command, but now it seems that you will not be able to go in a short time."

"Ah."

The two chatted, Wang Kang sent Gao Yin back to the postman where he lived, and then he returned to the mansion.

The next day, early morning.

Emperor Zhao officially promulgated the decree that Jiang Yi, the king of Wuwei, stepped down from his post in the military aircraft department due to his advanced age, and named Wang Kang the champion of the military aircraft to take charge of the military aircraft!

this news.

The whole court was shaken, and all the officials were shocked.

Many people thought that after that incident, even if Zhao Huang didn't pursue it, he would definitely not be important to Wang Kang. They didn't expect that he would continue to reuse him, and pushed him to such a high position, reaching the pinnacle of power...

Chapter 85 Power Disturbs People's Hearts!

No one expected that the situation would change so quickly. If you talk about this and that, it turns out that Wang Kang is Zhao Huang's number one confidant minister, and no one can match him!

In charge of military aircraft, in charge of the national army.

Such a position is not something ordinary people can sit in.

It's the real one who is under one person and above ten thousand people!

Originally, many ministers were a little alienated from Wang Kang, but now the wind has changed, and he has become a celebrity again.
