Fan Zhen's reminder made Li Zhongyi realize that when he reached his identity and status, if he didn't get married for a long time, it would inevitably cause great trouble!

It's just that Zhou Jiamin is only ten years old this year, far from reaching the age of the pole.

Even if Li Zhongyi used his toes to think, he knew that with Zhou Zong's status as Situ of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to marry the underage second daughter into the Li family in advance.

Fan Zhen, as the prime minister, actually has this kind of leisure to care about Li Zhongyi's family affairs, Li Zhongyi will inevitably wonder, is there Chai Rong's intentions hidden in it?

Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, Chai Rong, who was focused on the Northern Expedition, was unlikely to have this leisure, so I'm afraid there is someone else behind the scenes, right?

Fortunately, Fan Zhen only stopped at the point, and did not chase and fight, which gave Li Zhongyi enough time to toss and turn.

At this time, the servant came to report that Li Gu and Wei Renpu had arrived at the small hall of the discussion.

After Fan Zhen heard this, he said to Li Zhongyi with a smile: "Brother who is not to blame, today is the first time that the three phases and one ginseng have gathered together, and I went to the capital hall with the old man, how about it?" ”

Li Zhongyi arched his hand and smiled: "I am willing to follow Fan Xiang's horse." "The attitude is very good.

As long as Chai Rong is not dead, Chai Zongxun has not officially ascended the throne for a day, with Fan Zhijian in the emperor's heart, the seniority and prestige of his protégés and former officials all over the government and the opposition, even if Li Zhongyi's military exploits are prominent, he cannot be compared.

(From the Later Zhou Dynasty to the Song and Song dynasties, the power of prime ministers has been gradually expanding.) Especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been many situations of being alone, and the power of the prime minister can be described as strict.

Dutang, before the founding of the Later Zhou Dynasty. It refers to the council hall in Shangshu Province. However, since then, the authority under the door of the book has become more and more important. The so-called capital hall in Shangshu Province is gradually idle. Almost all of the real power was transferred to the political hall.

Therefore, the capital hall mentioned by Fan Zhen, that is, the place where the four prime ministers and deputy ministers of the imperial court collectively deliberated, can be called the political hub center of the Great Zhou Empire.

When Li Zhongyi followed behind Fan Zhen and walked into the capital hall, Li Gu and Wei Renpu immediately stopped the superficial "friendly" communication, and their eyes invariably crossed Fan Zhen. stared at Li Zhongyi's body.

Li Zhongyi understood in his heart what Li Gu and Wei Renpu were thinking, but it was inconvenient for him to explain accordingly.

Yang Jiong, who followed Fan Zhen and Li Zhongyi to the capital hall and acted as a clerk, looked at Fan Zhen's generous back with reverence, and secretly couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Fan Zhen quietly led Li Zhongyi to the capital hall to discuss matters, which was tantamount to invisibly. Sue Li Gu and Wei Renpu, Fan and Li are likely to be one, you two should be careful.

Yang Jiong is also the confidant of Fan Zhi's henchmen, and has participated in countless large and small government affairs. Only then did he barely guess Fan Zhen's true intention to see Li Zhongyi alone today.

Li Zhongyi pretended to be confused, and he really couldn't say anything about Fan Zhen's use of the opportunity.

Li Zhongyi, who was borrowed by Fan Qian. I really admire this man's old spiciness. Now, Li Zhongyi is being used. But it's hard to say anything publicly, who called Li Dahe just got the benefits of Fan Qian?

The wisdom of the prime minister. Sure enough, it lives up to its name!

After everyone bowed hands to each other and said hello, when they sat down, Li Zhongyi deliberately slowed down his movements, and after Wei Renpu also sat down, he slowly sat down at the bottom of Li Gu.

As the newly promoted deputy prime minister, Li Zhongyi must abide by the rules of officialdom and let the old ministers sit first.

Yang Jiong personally went out and served tea for the deacons present, and then quietly retreated to the side of the bookcase.

Li Zhongyi glanced at the boiled tea on the small coffee table in front of him, completely losing his appetite for tea.

Damn ginger, garlic and salt, Li Zhongyi secretly cursed the perverted way of drinking tea, he didn't drink good tea, he wanted to add some bad condiments, the world still thought it was expensive, he was speechless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the main reason why we are here today is because of this."

Fan Qian, who was sitting in the center, after a brief opening remark, handed a piece of music on the table to Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong held the piece of music in both hands and respectfully sent it to the second minister Li Gu, Li Gu took the piece, looked at it carefully, immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What a big bold." ”

Wei Renpu couldn't help pouting when he saw Li Gu's style, with his experience in fighting against Li Gu for many years, it was definitely not Li Gu's family that had an accident.

Although Li Zhongyi doesn't drink group tea, in order to find something to do for himself, he still holds the hard-to-swallow group tea in the palm of his hand, opens the tea lid from time to time, and sniffs it.

Wei Renpu watched the movement several times, which made Li Zhongyi realize that the person who had the accident was probably the old Wei family, right?

To Li Zhongyi's surprise, Wei Renpu didn't say a word after studying the content of the recital.

When the piece was transferred to Li Zhongyi, out of curiosity, he read the content word by word.

Li Zhongyi didn't expect that when he first came to the political hall for a "meeting", he encountered the impeachment of Yuanjun for assassinating Shi and killing good people!

Since the current expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty and the seizure of the Jianghuai land, the border areas of the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty have been very unpeaceful.

Small-scale military conflicts occur almost every day, and Li Zhongyi has long heard of them and is accustomed to them.

It's just that this time, it was Sima Cao Wangdong of Hezhou (now Ma'anshan City and County) who openly played the chapter and impeached his top boss, Sun Jingming, the assassin of Benzhou.

The public impeachment of superiors by subordinates has seriously deviated from the ethics of officialdom. Even if Cao Sima wins, the possibility of him being reused by the imperial court in the future is almost zero.

Who would dare to continue to use the anti-bone boy with a different heart?

However, looking at this matter in reverse, if Cao Wangdong was not forced to be in a hurry, it would be impossible to risk the world's condemnation!

If this Cao Sima is not in the water in his brain, then Li Zhongyi can almost conclude that he must have been forced to be in a hurry, so he simply fought with his boss to break the net.

Li Zhongyi has been either going east or west over the years, and in a hurry, how did he know the connections and details of Cao and Sun?

People in officialdom, officials protect each other, is the most in line with the interests of all parties!

As a superior umbrella, if you can't protect your own family, in the future, who will dare to follow you to the death and sell your life?

The protégé is busy before and after, and he does his best, and there is no credit and hard work. To put it bluntly, even if the protégé is guilty, the big boss of the faction must try his best to exonerate his own people.

As the old saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree!

On the other hand, the dead trees that could not shelter the strong wind and the torrential rain could not prevent even the little sparrows from standing up to perch.

To put it bluntly, sacrificing disciples at will and covering one's own superiors without death is definitely not a good superior!

"What do you think, brother-in-law?"

Li Zhongyi just wanted to hand the chapter back to Yang Jiong, but unexpectedly, Fan Zhen actually took the lead in calling him by name and asked him to be the first to express his position. (To be continued......) R1292
