"Li Wujiao, I always have a hunch that Sixth Brother'er's illness doesn't seem to be so strict to you?" Chai Rong's casual question made Li Zhongyi feel like he was thorned in his back.

Li Zhongyi frowned and explained: "Your Majesty, the cause of this malaria is extremely complex, and Wei Chen really doesn't have much certainty. ”

Chai Rong can't be given too much hope, and the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, so that Li Zhongyi can get the greatest benefit.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi bit to death, he was not sure, he was not sure, and he must not let go.

Chai Rong is indeed very good, but in Li Zhongyi's professional field, even if he is a generation of emperors with great talents, he can't use his strength.

"After the sixth brother recovers, I will go to school in the morning, go to Kaifeng Mansion in the afternoon, and follow you to learn how to deal with government affairs." Chai Rong kept staring at Li Zhongyi's face, and said slowly, "When the time comes, the ministers of the political hall will stay in Jingshi." ”

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, Chai Rong went on the Northern Expedition, but he left the prime ministers to sit in Beijing, arrange logistics and baggage, and deal with all kinds of government affairs of the imperial court.

Then, Chai Zongxun sits in the Kaifeng Mansion, in fact, it plays a role in monitoring and balancing the prime ministers.

Chai Rong actually asked Li Zhongyi to take Chai Zongxun to conduct a comprehensive confrontation with the ministers of the political hall.

Cough, Li Zhongyi only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, what a powerful Comrade Lao Chai!

To put it bluntly, Chai Rong just wanted to force Li Zhongyi to completely stand on Chai Zongxun's side, so that he and the ministers of the political hall would fight each other in the ring and contain each other.

If Li Zhongyi and the ministers can turn against each other, it will be the most in line with Chai Rong's appetite.

Li Zhongyi secretly sighed. In the face of Chai Rong's conspiracy, he didn't have much room for resistance.

Since ancient times. The monarchy and the relative power are a pair of contradictory unity.

During the period of imperial power. Most emperors need to use the collective wisdom of the prime ministers to properly handle the government.

In fact, the imperial power and the relative power, the cooperation and wrestling between each other, are always in a state of dynamic adjustment.

Generally speaking, with each step forward in imperial power, the relative power was weakened by different degrees.

People in the temple can't help themselves. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

The higher authorities have a natural greed for expanding their sphere of power, which is as addictive as smoking opium*.

Although Li Zhongyi has outstanding military achievements and outstanding achievements, after all, his foundation is too shallow, his party henchmen are not abundant, and he belongs to the lame nobles.

Chai Rong's layout. Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that he, a lame former minister, did not pose any threat to the imperial power under the strong control of the political affairs hall.

And that's not all. For the sake of his own political interests, Li Zhongyi became the staunchest and powerful supporter of the imperial power (Chai Zongxun).

"Why, you don't want to?" Chai Rong looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile. His right hand holding the jade Yue was slightly protruding.

Li Zhongyi's heart froze. Chai Rong's words were not good, which made him realize. If you don't hurry up and show your attitude, you will definitely not be able to pass the test.

"Although the minister is full of liver and brain, he doesn't dare to spare his life." Li Zhongyi decisively expressed his loyalty, Chai Rong's face gradually turned cold, and he said lightly, "I can trust you." ”

Li Zhongyi thought to himself that Chai Rong must have an element of trust in him, otherwise, he would not have handed over the quasi-prince Chai Zongxun to him.

It's just that it is impossible for the king to be unwary of his courtiers, especially those who hold real power.

"How much oil and water did the nobles get?"

After negotiating the matter of the purple gold waist card and Chai Zongxun, Chai Rong stared at Li Zhongyi's face and coldly asked about the "big things" occupied by the magnates.

Li Zhongyi silently took out the thick list from his cuffs, held it in Chai Rong's hand with both hands, Chai Rong took it and looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, and asked Li Zhongyi: "Li Wuyi, what do you think should be done?" ”

Li Zhongyi thought for a long time as a difficult one, and then slowly came up with the countermeasures he had thought of in advance, and said cautiously: "The minister thinks that he can release the wind and move the capital to Luoyang." ”

Chai Rong stared at Li Zhongyi coldly, and asked lightly, "Then what?" ”

Li Zhongyi raised his head, looked at Chai Rong's chest, and said cautiously: "Don't expand the city." ”

Chai Rong suddenly laughed, pointed at Li Zhongyi's nose, and said, "Li Wuyi, Li Wuyi, don't you know, what do I want to hear?" ”

Li Zhongyi not only did not bow his head, but looked at Chai Rong's eyes beyond his duty, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, although some people buy and sell by force, bully others, and take away the people's family business. However, most people just took advantage of the inside information of the expansion of the city and bought the land at a reasonable price. If, a decree was issued not to expand the city, and the outer city did not have walls, the value of the land that some people bought would not be so great. ”

Chai Rong looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile and asked him: "It's so simple?" ”

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Chai Rong actually hoped that Li Zhongyi would come forward and use the sufficient evidence at hand to impeach the Manchu nobles who wantonly occupied the people's land.

However, Li Zhongyi had already made up his mind, so if he lost Chai Rong's favor from now on, it would be impossible for him to stand up openly and be an enemy of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, who were reused by Wu Zetian, Ji Di, who was very trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Chao Cuo, the teacher of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, these people were all once very popular.

However, Zhou Xing was invited into the urn by Lai Junchen, and Ji Di was forced to commit suicide, and the ending was not good.

The most unfortunate thing is that Chao Cuo was arrested and beheaded to death on the way to the court because of the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Since it was not a beheading, when Chao Cuo was not completely dead, his hands were stained with his own blood and he wrote three words of repentance.

When Li Zhongyi read the history books, every time he read this, he felt unusually emotional, the emperor had a rod and scale in his heart, a courtier and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which is more important, the answer is self-evident.

Moreover, Li Zhongyi's proposal is indeed a clever move to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, even if Chai Rong is not very happy in his heart, he will not abandon Li Zhongyi from now on.

"Isn't it good to open the seal?" Chai Rong played with the jade Yue in his hand while squinting at Li Zhongyi casually.

Li Zhongyi calmly replied: "Although Kaifeng has the danger of the Yellow River, it is a place of four battles, easy to attack and difficult to defend, although there is the advantage of water transportation of the Bianhe River, but once the barbarian army breaks through the border fortress of Hebei, it is like a no-man's land." ”

Chai Rong nodded, and asked Li Zhongyi again: "What are the advantages of Luoyang?" ”

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, Chai Rong is not an ordinary person, his military attainments are abnormally profound, obviously this is knowingly asked.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack according to the dangers of mountains and rivers, and it is backed by Jingxiang and Shudi, so food can be supplied nearby. It only takes 100,000 elite soldiers to hold on for several years, and it is not a problem. Li Zhongyi pinched the argument about moving the capital in the early Northern Song Dynasty and repeated it to Chai Rong.

"Well, the proposal to move the capital is up to you." Chai Rong's reaction gave Li Zhongyi a big headache. (To be continued......)
