Future?

Xiao Zheng did not answer Liu Zhigu's question, there was a wry smile on his face, which was mixed with deep regret, he was originally the person of the left minister Liu Ji, but as Liu Ji's voice in the court became weaker and weaker, the cohesion of many officials of the left party was broken, and when facing the collapse, he was also like many people, seeking a way out.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, there is also a big reason, that is, Xiao Zheng and Qin Anming's competition for favor and power, Xiao Zheng followed Zhao Zhi much earlier than Qin Anming, Zhao Zhi's most trusted civil officials in the early years There were three people, Xiao Zheng, Liu Zhigu and the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hong Zhishi, after so many years, Hong Zhi was old and retired from officialdom, Liu Zhigu is also becoming more and more low-key, for some reason, and Zhao Zhi slowly became estranged, the three most trusted people by Zhao Zhi, only Xiao Zheng is left, this situation, Xiao Zheng is undoubtedly extremely happy to see, but in five or six years, Xiao Zheng has gone from a small official of the fifth grade to the high position of the right attendant of the second grade military department, and the smoothness of the official career makes Xiao Zheng a little fluttery, his eyes are fixed on the political hall, for the sake of the phase, he has done some out-of-the-ordinary things, offended many people, including Hong Zhi and Liu Zhigu, the two political allies who were once the closest, and it was from this time that Zhao Zhi's favor for Xiao Zheng began to decrease, with the appearance of Qin Anming, The relationship between the two slowly drifted apart, and Xiao Zheng's own career also stopped there, and he was in the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and he did it for nine years, without any transfer or change.

Hong Zhishi's retirement, intensified the power infighting in the court, the struggle between Liu Wei and Yang Daohei became more and more intense, faintly uncontrollable trend, and then, taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle of Jiangnan, Zhao Zhi nominated Qin Anming three times to replace Hong Zhi's position, but was continuously dissuaded and vetoed by the ministers, Zhao Zhi's anger in his heart at that time can be imagined, but he had to endure it, and finally let Qin Anming enter the cabinet political affairs hall with the governor of the same book, and the ministers continued to dissuade him from being inconsistent with the ancestral system.

Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang matter as early as Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne more than a hundred years ago, has been abolished, Wuzong period, a short period of recovery, but soon was removed again, the ministers used this excuse to write to advise, blocking Qin An's name as Xiang, Zhao Zhi was a little passive at first, and finally Liu Wei came up with an idea, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang is not good, isn't it? Well, I'll change my name and participate in national politics with the six Shangshu Pingzhang.

Xiao Zheng's participation in political affairs was earlier than Qin Anming, but his position was purely a fictitious position, and it was Liu Wei who helped him intercede, for this reason, he lost the right attendant of the military department who had real power, and the title was a step up, but he lost the benefits, and then, Qin Anming took advantage of the merits of the battle of Jiangnan to participate in the governor's affairs and the post of the six Shangshu Pingzhang affairs, and entered the cabinet as the minister, and it didn't take long for him to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. didn't get anything, so far, Xiao Zheng began to have resentment in his heart, which is why, following Zhao Zhi for so many years, he has always been loyal, after Yang Binglin won over a few times, he completely fell to the right party.

Looking at Xiao Zheng, who was in deep thought, Liu Zhigu did not interrupt him, but drank silently like Huang Xu.

Yang Yu glanced at Xiao Zheng, but also silent, silently drinking, his situation is not so complicated, although Yang Yu is also Yang, but has nothing to do with the Yang family, although he is also born in the official eunuch clan, but his family is not prominent, many brothers in the clan are just in the local middle and lower level officials, but his great-grandfather's generation, it is not bad, out of a big official, with military merits tired officials to participate in political affairs, the right servant of the military department, almost entered the cabinet as a minister.

Yang Yu has a very strong ability, and he did the position of assassin in his thirties, but he has always been transferred to the state assassin history at the local level, and he has not been able to enter the central government for a long time, until the first year of Chengping, because of his meritorious service in resisting the White Turban Army, he took refuge in Liu Ji, which made Liu Ji speak well for him in front of Zhao Zhi and was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

In recent years, the struggle between the left and right parties, the left side has completely fallen to the disadvantage, after Liu Ji returned from Momeng, Zhao Zhi kept silent and did not say any credit, this performance, accelerated the departure of many officials of the left party, Yang Yu was also at this time to break out, Yang Binglin was pulled into the right party.

Huang Yu was arrested, and some officials began to be implicated in the follow-up, Yang Yu faintly felt that something was wrong, because he saw some signs from Qin Anming's body.

Hong Zhen has always been Liu Ji's staunch political ally, after he gave his office, Qin Anming entered the political hall and made up for the lack of Xiangguo, everyone thought that since he was Zhao Zhi's henchman, he would definitely fall to Liu Ji's party, but things are often unexpected, after Qin Anming entered the political hall as the prime minister, he did get very close to Liu Ji, but in many decisions on government and state affairs, Qin Anming did not speak out to echo Liu Ji, but remained silent, with few votes and opinions, maybe others felt that Qin Anming had just entered the political hall, Age and qualifications are the worst, and it is normal to be low-key, but Yang Yu has realized some of the different meanings.

Yang Yu now regrets it very much, what he regrets is not that he broke away from the left prime minister's party, but that since he has been freed from political disputes, why did he still take refuge in Yang Binglin and plunge into this storm like a net.

Yang Yu looked at Liu Zhigu and said, "Lord Liu, who is the emperor going to let replace Liu Ji?" ”

With Liu Ji not coming out of the door and not asking about political affairs, Wang Renzizi and the right party are getting closer and closer, obviously with the meaning of changing the court, and Qin Anming's imminent departure, today's left party is already in vain, such a situation, but Zhao Zhi is ignorant, and his intention is probably that some people have guessed it, that is, to let the emerging political forces replace Liu Ji and his Liu family, form a new left party, and reach a balance with the Yang family again, and continue to fight.

Xiao Zheng also woke up from his contemplation at this time, and looked at Liu Zhigu.

Liu Zhigu smiled, Xiao Zheng and Yang Yu can achieve a high position, obviously it will not be a wine bag and rice bag, Zhao Zhi's intentions and the current situation in the court, they should have some understanding.

Liu Zhigu said lightly: "The seven ministers of the political hall, some of them are not old enough to deal with heavy state affairs, and the emperor is ready to let them go home to rest and spend their old age in peace." ”

Xiao Zheng and Yang Yu were shocked, their eyes condensed, some people? Is it one person, two people, or .....
