Niu Jinda is a person with a not very high sense of existence in Chang'an City.

Over the years, he has also focused his main energy on the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, so outsiders have even less knowledge of him.

However, old friends such as Cheng Yaojin will naturally not ignore Niu Jinda's influence.

"Old Niu, what do you think about the current situation in Chang'an City?"

Cheng Yaojin, who has always been as stable as a dog, has begun to take action after in-depth communication with Li Kuan.

It would be much better for some generals in the army to be in charge of contact with him.

Besides, Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin have been good brothers for many years. Some words have been said, even if the other party has some other ideas, there is no need to worry about it spreading.

So on a day of rest, Cheng Yaojin went to Niu Mansion to find Niu Jinda to drink.

"After a serious illness, His Majesty's body is obviously not as good as before, and he looks much older.

Wuji and His Highness the Crown Prince should have felt the crisis now and began to take many actions.

His Majesty's unexpected recall of His Highness Pu from Laizhou has further aggravated this trend.

What? Has His Highness the King of Chu made up his mind?"

Niu Jinda did not go around in circles with Cheng Yaojin.

Everyone is good brother, and even if they don’t agree to take the team, they will express their opinions directly and clearly.

"In this situation, it's impossible not to make up your mind. The Tang Dynasty has been in its founding for thirty years. Although the first fifteen years have developed well, overall it is still in line with the rules and not very impressive.

However, the situation in the past fifteen years has completely subverted everyone's perception.

If I went back fifteen years ago, if someone told me that the Tang Dynasty would be like this today, I would never believe it.

But it has become like this.

Not only do the people not have to worry about eating, but the problem of dressing has also been basically solved.

The price of cotton cloth today is more than half lower than that of linen cloth.

But the people's income is more than twice that of that year, and the difference in living standards is not something to describe in just one or two sentences.”

Cheng Yaojin didn't ask Niu Jinda if he supports Li Kuan, but started chatting casually first.

"Yes, the changes in the Tang Dynasty were indeed too great. Whether it was the wide and flat cement roads, the emerging railways and various steam equipment, they were never thought of.

As for the high-yield grains such as potatoes and corn, it has refreshed our understanding. His Highness the King of Chu has made an indelible contribution to this.”

"If you want to become a qualified emperor in civil and military affairs, you must not be weak in either aspect, otherwise some problems may arise.

Obviously, Kuan'er can turn the Tang Dynasty into a prosperous scene today, and will lead the Tang Dynasty to become richer.

In addition, Kuan'er, who pacified Tuyuhun and eliminated Goguryeo, led the army to fight in person, which had unexpected results.

Adding to the territory outside Shanghai, no one in the Tang Dynasty could have expanded his territory.

Although His Royal Highness is quite smart, he is just a flower grown in a greenhouse. He has never experienced any storms or practical experience. For the Tang Dynasty, such an emperor is not a blessing."

Anyway, I have to express my attitude, so Cheng Yaojin's evaluation of Li Zhi is very direct.

I just think you are not suitable for you, what can I do?

"The presence of Your Highness in the court is indeed weaker. However, judging from the situation in the past year, Your Highness in the Crown is not necessarily that simple."

After Niu Jinda was silent for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.

"Indeed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not such a simple person, and is not as weak as everyone sees.

Whether it is arranging people to assassinate Xiao Yumi or provoking a dispute between the Changsun Party and the Chu King Party, there may be his shadow behind it.

Objectively speaking, as long as the crown prince is given enough time, he can become a qualified emperor.

But without comparison, there is no harm. The ready-made standards are placed next to him. He can't do anything better than Kuan'er."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Yaojin also revealed some news to Niu Jinda.

For example, Xiao Mei was assassinated, but she has been a mess and has no final result.

But now Cheng Yaojin told Niu Jinda that this matter might have been arranged by Li Zhi.

Sure enough, Niu Jinda was quite surprised after hearing this.

"The Lord of Yongping is the King of Chu's Nether Scale. How dare someone touch this Nether Scale?"

"If it weren't for a lot of evidence pointing to Yu Zhining, I wouldn't have believed that the shadow of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was behind this matter.

But this is good, Kuan'er finally made up her mind to determine the situation as soon as possible so that everyone will not feel uncomfortable.

Since we will have a day to meet each other sooner or later, it is better to start earlier, as it will bring some harm and influence to the Tang Dynasty."

When Cheng Yaojin said this, his eyes were staring at Niu Jinda, wanting to see through his true thoughts.

"Your Majesty should still not want to see the scene of war."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to see many things, but many things are not something that your Majesty doesn't want to happen.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Your Majesty has already had doubts about whether the Crown Prince is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Kuan'er's suggestion and sent Xue Rengui back from Liaodong Road."

Cheng Yaojin's analysis made Niu Jinda's mind tilt.

Even Li Shimin himself hesitated, which shows that His Highness, King of Chu, is indeed very suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Then it shouldn't be too much to push yourself behind the scenes, right?

Don’t think about yourself, but also think about the Niu family.

Niu Jinda also doesn't want Li Kuan to turn around and clean up the Niu family after he ascended the throne.

"I, Niu Jinda, am old now, and I want to contribute a little to the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

If His Highness of the King of Chu has some useful place to help me, Niu Jinda, please give me instructions.

But I, Niu Jinda, don’t want to attack my colleagues again in this life.”

After thinking about it over and over again, Niu Jinda expressed his attitude.

It's okay to take a team, but it won't work for me to pick up the sword and fight with my former brothers.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin didn't expect him to do this.

Now this ending is a very satisfactory ending.

Many times, as long as you don’t object, it is actually the greatest support.
