Wang Zhongpeng, the Marquis of Xuchang, was very irritable, his eldest son Wang Xuehan lost his real power, and the entire Hou Mansion was about to decline step by step, how could Wang Zhongpeng, who was the head of the family, not be anxious?

The inner hall is the fourth class of the straight small bottom, which is the close guard of the emperor's side, and there are often opportunities to show his face in front of the emperor. As long as he seized the opportunity and was in the heart of the emperor, Wang Xuehan's future was originally bright.

However, who would have thought that in order to suppress the power of the generals, Fan Zhen would set up an unprecedented inquisitor West Court.

In Li Zhongyi's view, the scope of the so-called Judge West Court is similar to that of the Cadre Department under the General Political Department.

No matter which era, which country, which dynasty, the power of personnel appointment and dismissal is always the top priority.

In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, due to the backwardness of the bureaucratic management system, the appointment and dismissal of officials below the sixth rank do not need to be approved by the emperor.

Because of this, the authority of the political hall is so heavy that it frightens people to death. After all, who is not promoted step by step from the petty officials of the fourth rank or above?

There are people in the court who are good officials! Power is always the structure of the Golden Tower, the road of official career, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, in the case of more monks and less porridge, who is not promoted whom, one is to look at the backer, the other is to look at the political performance, the main thing is to be hard.

The ministers of the political hall naturally disdain to deal with the eighth and ninth grade sesame officials. However, the ministers are not immortals who do not eat fireworks in the world, and they rely on the support of their protégés to stand firmly above the court.

The protégés of the old protégés, from the bottom to the top, weave a huge and tight network of relationships, which is the so-called faction.

A vivid example of this is Fan Qian, Prime Minister Fan. His disciples are all over the court, and he only needs to make a look in the political hall when he doesn't like anyone, and he doesn't even need to say anything, and his own protégé pounces on him and bites people.

In the past, although the fan was weighted, the sphere of influence was limited to the Wenchen system. Since the establishment of the Western Court of Inquisitors, Fan Zhen's hand has been deeply inserted into the lair of the military generals and noble groups.

On the bright side, Fan Zhen really helped the royal family, and slowly solved the big drawbacks of the weight of the generals and the support of troops in the feudal towns. However, put yourself in your shoes, in the face of Prime Minister Fan, who is much faster than Li Zhongyi's rise, is Empress Dowager Fu afraid? Worried or not? Are you worried or not?

Speaking of which, it is indeed not easy for Empress Dowager Fu. The front door is surrounded by Li Zhongyi, a full-fledged tiger, and the fan quality in the back is more and more like Huo Guang, plus the unconscious Li Gu and Wang Pu, the obscure Zhao Kuangyin, and the honest and reckless Han Tong.

In the world, such a big family is really difficult to be!

Empress Dowager Fu's family is not difficult, Guan Wang Zhongpeng's bird matter, his family has been exposed, this is a fatal matter!

People have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries!

Wang Zhongpeng's Marquis of Xuchang is not a title that can be hereditarily replaced, and it is not even a title that is demoted. In other words, as long as Wang Zhongpeng closed his eyes and kicked his legs, the Hou Mansion, which was originally high, was no longer much different from the ordinary military general's house in the blink of an eye.

Although, Fan Zhen did not do things absolutely and gave Wang Xuehan the title of earl. But the problem is that fools understand that no matter how big the family is, if the children in the family do not have high-ranking officials who hold real power, relying only on the idea of the title will be unable to make ends meet, even if the family has a big gold mountain, sooner or later it will be defeated.

The rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people, let alone a general who has been on the battlefield and seen countless blood?

Fighting the world on horseback and appeasing the people has basically become the law of governance in all dynasties.

To put it bluntly, when fighting the country, it is necessary to rely on the generals to take the lead and not be afraid of death. When sitting in the world, the superior must not only guard against the military generals who are not afraid of death against their masters, but also educate all the people into obedient people, and the tendency to emphasize literature and suppress military force will become more and more obvious.

"Lord Hou, the eldest prince is back." The old servant's soft report brought Wang Zhongpeng back to reality from his contemplation.

"Call him in." Wang Zhongpeng narrowed his eyes, looked up at the beams of the roof, and thoughtfully did not blink.

"My lord, Mr. Li said that Li Qiniang had a terrible rash on her face, and she couldn't see anyone at all, so she went to Guanli to ask for a signature, and she needed to go to the beach to avoid it." The relationship between Wang Xuehan and Wang Zhongpeng is very good, and they are not bound by those vulgar etiquette, and they sit directly in front of Wang Zhongpeng.

"By the sea?" Wang Zhongpeng lowered his head and pondered while playing with the pair of small jade balls in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, "Isn't Li Wuyi just on the beach?" ”

Wang Xuehan didn't understand what Wang Zhongpeng meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately woke up, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Alas, Da Lang, I'm not as far away as Old Minister Li." Wang Zhongpeng sighed with emotion and said, "Who would have thought that one of the top generals in the past, and now the old minister of the political affairs hall, would be willing to save face, not afraid of being poked in the backbone by touching people...... Qi ......"

In the past, Wang Zhongpeng was actually a big old man who didn't know much about political games, and he was never ambiguous when he went into battle to kill the enemy.

Since, Dalang Wang Xuehan, entered the fourth class of the inner hall, the dynamics in the core power circle have been continuously sent to Wang Zhongpeng's hands.

With accurate information and a lot of the root causes of others' failures or successes, no matter how stupid he is, Wang Zhongpeng will find some doorways.

"Han Tong, this kid is an out-and-out white-eyed wolf." As long as Wang Zhongpeng mentioned the name Han Tong, he was tired of it, "I think back then, Lao Tzu taught him martial arts hand in hand, promoted him to a conductor step by step, and married him for him." Dog things, Lao Tzu never begged him, the first time he opened his mouth, he was humiliated, bastard king eight lambs......"

Wang Xuehan heard his father's scolding, he was also very sad in his heart, originally when the first emperor was there, everyone said that his future was bright.

Unexpectedly, the law of a son of heaven and a courtier is really not a false rumor. When the little emperor first ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Fu specially summoned these close guards to go over and appeased them greatly.

How long has it been? Wang Xuehan not only lost the real power and beauty of the deputy capital, but also was idle. The top earl has a ball to use, in the future, there is no future!

"My lord, we can't hesitate any longer." After all, Wang Xuehan was young and couldn't hold his breath, so he bluntly suggested Wang Zhongpeng, "It's better to vote for copper...... Belch...... Li is not to blame. ”

The door of the Marquis of Xuchang Mansion is higher than Li Zhongyi, who is a lowly man, and I don't know how far it goes. In the past, Wang Zhongpeng did not offend Li Zhongyi on the surface, but the relationship between the two families was not close, and their contacts were not close.

"Vote? What to take? Are we richer than the copper stink, or more powerful than him? Or, do you have a sister who is more beautiful than Li Qi Niangzi? Wang Zhongpeng pursed the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself, "I don't have half a fart, what to vote for?" I think back then, when Lao Tzu went up the mountain to join the gang, the first thing he did was to follow the three shopkeepers and tie up the young lady of the richest man in the town, Liu Daguan's family, hehe, the thin skin and tender meat, it felt as smooth as satin......"

"Cough, cough, cough......" Wang Xuehan was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that his father was really open-mouthed, and he even dared to say the ugly thing of kidnapping and bullying women back then, he didn't dare to listen to it.

Wang Zhongpeng squinted at Wang Xuehan, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu has to cut off the retreat first when he goes up the mountain to join the gang, let alone now?" You take the real guy out, copper stink, you won't even clip your eyelids between us and you. ”

The words are not rough, the old brothers who followed Taizu Guo Wei to fight the country together, except for Li Qiong who was barely a companion in the political hall, one was worse than the other!

There is no way, once the son of heaven is a courtier, that is the eternal last word, and no one can change it!

"My lord, don't you just want to say, how many credible people are there in the fourth class of the inner sanctum?" Wang Xuehan has been by Chai Rong's side for a short time, except for being a little unbreathable, he has some insight.

After Wang Zhongpeng heard this, his originally tense face immediately relaxed, and then he smiled and said: "Our grandfather and son are worthy of being a family, Lao Tzu has six sons, you know my mind best, and it is not in vain that Lao Tzu has spent so much effort on you." ”

"Alas, after the Du family of Anle Hou Mansion was swept away by the Queen Mother, Concubine Du Gui kept pestering the Empress Dowager Fu to make trouble. That Concubine Du Gui is not a helpless ordinary palace concubine, King Cao is also six years old, no matter how unhappy the Queen Mother is, she will not really do anything to Concubine Du Gui in this eventful autumn. Wang Xuehan was very familiar with the situation in the palace, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he poked Wang Zhongpeng's heart.

Wang Zhongpeng, Marquis of Xuchang, although he was the confidant of Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, but starting from the first emperor Chai Rong, Wang Zhongpeng withdrew step by step outside the circle of believers.

Unlike Li Qiong, Wang Zhongpeng has been handing over military power for too long, and even if some old subordinates in the army give face, I am afraid it will be difficult to follow Wang Zhongpeng to Li Zhongyi with all his heart.

The strength of the Xuchang Marquis Mansion is actually a group of henchmen of the fourth class of the inner hall who Wang Xuehan has privately enveloped.

is still the old saying, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Wang Xuehan is unlucky, and the guards who were close to him in the past are impossible not to be unlucky.

"Da Lang, there is no solid thing to hand over, and the copper stink is a posture of cooking oil with fire, I'm afraid I can't look down on our two masters." Wang Zhongpeng slapped the table and made a decision that no one expected, "Why did I forget, Zhao Lao is in charge of the elite forbidden army of the front division of the palace, and he also needs our help more than the copper stinker......"

Wang Xuehan thought about it carefully, it was really what Wang Zhongpeng said, compared with Li Zhongyi, who was strong and strong, Zhao Laoer, who was much weaker, needed more support from external forces.
