Chapter 496: Counterattack (Six Thousand Chapters, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The court meeting is nothing more than ceremonial red tape, and the decisions that really determine the fate of the country have always been discussed by the ministers of the political hall.
After the ministers appeared, Empress Fu took the crown prince's little hand, left the throne, and returned to the Inner Palace.
When the court was in power, the ministers came first; After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers all stayed in place and did not move, letting the ministers go first.
Fan Zhen took the lead in turning around, taking square steps, and was the first to pace out of the Daqing Palace. The rest of the ministers, except for Li Qiong, who was fighting in the south, also followed slowly according to their shifts.
The moment Li Zhongyi raised his leg and stepped out of the Daqing Palace, a cool breeze hit him, and he couldn't help but take a slight breath, winter is coming.
On one side of the Daqing Palace, the attendants led the horses of the Xianggong and waited quietly on the side.
Li Zhongyi walked to the horse silently, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Fan Zhen's side.
Perhaps out of the special grace of the prime minister, among the eight prime ministers in the political hall, only Fan Zhi enjoys the super high treatment of "shoulder opinion", and the rest of the prime ministers can only ride horses.
Shoulder, in layman's terms, is an uncovered sedan chair.
After Fan Zhen ascended to the throne, four wrestlers with broad shoulders and round waists worked together to put the thick wooden bars on their shoulders.
Li Zhongyi silently mounted his horse, let the little chamberlain take the reins, followed the ranks of the ministers, and returned to the political hall.
Returning to the political affairs hall, Yang Jiong, the official of the five-room official hall, welcomed Li Zhongyi into a public hall of about 50 square meters very respectfully.
The official hall is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, Li Zhongyi walked into the warm inner room like spring, and carefully looked at the furnishings in the room.
Yang Jiong politely explained: "Li Xianggong." This is the official hall that Fan Xianggong personally selected for you. Fan Xianggong has instructed the lower officials, and Xianggong should be your needs. All of them can be satisfied. β
Li Zhongyi is actually a guy who doesn't like tossing, and his office requirements are actually not high. There is a table, the chairs are more comfortable, and there is a chaise longue that you can lean on and watch the folding, and you are all done.
As for the bookshelves, as well as the subset of scriptures and histories that show culture, whether they are placed or not, that's it.
In the eyes of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Zhongyi was an upstart. That is, a semi-literate person who can only read and write, but does not know the scriptures.
Just now, before Li Zhongyi entered the door, he happened to meet Li Yun's envious, jealous and hateful eyes.
Although Li Zhongyi didn't know the details, he also understood that most of the official rooms arranged for him by Fan Zhen were problematic.
In the past, when Li Zhongyi was still participating in political affairs, although he often traveled back and forth between the political affairs hall and Kaifeng Mansion. But because of the taboo, he only went to the council hall every time.
The rules are the rules, Li Zhongyi, the deputy minister who does not sit on duty and does not sign the detach. There's no need to mess with the prime ministers.
Now it's different, Li Zhongyi has been promoted to the real prime minister. According to the prime minister's rotation system, as long as he is on duty. If the official documents in the government hall of the day want to be effective, they cannot do without his signature.
The previous period of the three-phase rule. The decree issued by the government hall on the same day needs to be signed by at least two ministers. It can be regarded as a legitimate official document.
As for the appointment and dismissal of officials above the fifth grade, the procedures are even more complicated, and there must be the imperial approval of His Majesty, plus the signature of the two phases, and after taking back the palace seal, it is a formal personnel edict.
Although Li Zhongyi does not hold the seal, he has the crucial right to sign and pledge from now on, and this alone is enough to deter the ministers from daring to make a mistake.
Of course, now that Fan Zhen is in power, Li Zhongyi cannot make a decision on major personnel appointments and dismissals, and he will even be stripped of power.
The method of overhead is also very simple, on the day Li Zhongyi is on duty, he can not deal with important personnel issues.
In fact, when Li Zhongyi was vice president in the past, in order to disgust his opponents and reduce resistance, he would often deliberately take advantage of the executive vice president's business trip or the gap between the party school's studies to convene a temporary party committee and make a decision on a personnel adjustment plan.
The political methods of the dynasty have been played for thousands of years, and in fact, they have been played back and forth, but they are just tricks of changing the soup but not the medicine. Many calculations that occur in modern society can basically be found in history books.
Before Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, Fan Zhen also monopolized the power in the political hall, and his majesty was unstoppable.
It's a pity that after the Chen Qiaoyi mutiny, under the deterrence of the knives and guns of the Qiu Ba, the arrogant Fan Xianggong, for the sake of his life, had to bow his noble head and bow his head.
You must know that the guy who has the last laugh is the most sour winner!
Li Zhongyi didn't pay attention to Fan Zhen's intentional or unintentional provocation, Li Yun wanted to misunderstand, so let him go.
In the final analysis, the one who has a gun is the uncle, and this sentence is applicable everywhere.
According to Yang Jiong's introduction, all the ministers in the political hall enjoy the preferential treatment of high welfare.
Taking Li Zhongyi, the eighth minister, as an example, he not only enjoys an independent official hall in the political affairs hall, but also has eight officials in the hall waiting in shifts.
According to Li Zhongyi's understanding, the officials in the outer office are probably the secretaries who serve the chief, right?
These eight officials are respectively responsible for connecting the guard of honor, the five rooms in the political hall, the communication between the ministers, and the transcription of official documents.
There is no trivial matter around Xianggong, and in the eyes of outsiders, a casual thing may be a great event.
In addition, as the real prime minister, Li Zhongyi also enjoys the treatment of ordering food from a small stove in the kitchen in the hall, and all expenses are reimbursed by the imperial court.
Most of the powerful people who can be prime ministers are respected, and they don't get tired of eating and eating habits.
Li Zhongyi, who is weakly crowned, is particularly noticeable, and some of his living habits are widely spread among Shilin.
Li Zhongyi likes to drink green tea, loves iron pot stir-frying, and the most disgusting thing for the scholars and doctors is that Li Xianggong actually eats animal offal and water.
The internal organs of pigs, cows, sheep and other animals have always had a reputation for being filthy and filthy, not to mention the scholars, even if they are wealthy merchants, they disdain to eat them.
Li Zhongyi has no taboos, what chicken offal, haggis, pig lungs, pig hearts, all love to eat.
In the backyard of the court officials, they raise their own pigs. Li Zhongyi is the only one. Looking at the magnates of the entire Great Zhou Empire, there is only one one. There is no semicolon.
However, there is a heart to see the strangeness. Li Zhongyi's eldest son. It's been several years old, but it's been disease-free, and it's alive and healthy.
Li Zhongyi is a doctor, and if he eats too much of animal offal, he is prone to high cholesterol. However, humans have always been omnivores.
Foods such as vegetables, fruits, offal, and meat, as long as they are not too picky, are actually beneficial to human health.
Typical example. It is a profound lesson that the ban on meat in the country led to the low per capita height of the people.
At that time, the Japanese people were called dwarfs, which was both a stigmatizing and slurical term, but also a description of the facts.
After Yang Jiong settled Li Zhongyi, he ran to greet Li Yun, Li Yun had already endured a lot of hardship, and saw Yang Jiong coming. angrily reprimanded: "Yang mention, it's so early." β
Reckless, Yang Jiong scolded secretly, but there was a look of grievance on his face. said cautiously: "Xia Guan wanted to come over early, who would have wanted to be blameless but he ......"
Yang Jiong's goods were bad, and he stopped talking halfway up the mountain. deliberately didn't continue to say, and let Li Yun make up the story in his own mind.
Does this count as provocation? Absolutely!
Merely. Yang Jiong did a very good job, he didn't say anything. I've said everything, and I don't have a handle to grasp yet, so you can't say anything about your suffering.
Maybe it was the first time he entered the door of the political hall, but Li Yun didn't shoot the case on the spot, but just sneered again and again.
After the ministers were all settled, Fan Zhen passed the word and summoned all the ministers to the council hall to discuss something.
In the past, when the three ministers in the political affairs hall were on duty, Fan Zhen was not arranged to be on duty, but came early and left early, which was equivalent to the Changbai class.
Now, since there are eight ministers, in addition to Li Qiong in the south, there are still seven ministers sitting in the hall.
After everyone arrived, Fan Zhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said slowly: "There are no trivial matters in the political affairs hall, and you ministers have their own important things to do, so you need to discuss it." β
Li Zhongyi made up his mind, everything will not come out, before Chai Rong dies, he only needs to remember one sentence: ten thousand words, it is better to be silent.
What kind of traverser's domineering spirit, that's just!
At this delicate time, I forced myself to come out, and I didn't even know how my head fell off, and I didn't know how I died.
Li Zhongyi lowered his head and sniffed the quiet tea soup in the cup, as if Yan Ruyu was hidden there, and was obsessed with it.
Although Wu Tingzuo and Fan Zhen are not all the way, because they are newcomers in the political hall, they have been in a state of silence.
Li Yun opened his mouth, and seeing that no one spoke to him, he hesitated for a moment, and in the end, he had to forcibly swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Wei Renpu ignored Fan Zhen's fake politeness, and his attention was always focused on Li Zhongyi.
Previously, Wei Renpu had cooperated with Li Zhongyi several times, and the cooperation was still tacit. It's just that at this time and at that time, today's Li Zhongyi has coerced the world's military exploits and entered the political hall strongly, so he should have achieved momentum, and his wings have not yet been full, right?
As a veteran prime minister, Wei Renpu has never made any great contributions, but he is firmly in the position of prime minister.
Some people say that he is a thief of good luck, others say that he is good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, and some people even call him an old fox!
Under the tree, the prime minister above hundreds of millions of people will always do something to offend people, and he will be infamous on his back, but Wei Renpu actually didn't do it for a while.
How is it possible to make everyone like you? Can't do it!
The meeting hall was cold, as early as Wang Pu expected, who would lack the heart to take the initiative to provoke Fan Qian?
His Majesty believes in Fan quality the most, and the queen mother also believes in Fan quality, as for the crown prince, it seems that he is closer to Li Zhongyi, a nouveau riche.
The last time Wang Pu was demoted from the political hall, it was actually the result of a big defeat with Fan Qian.
This time, Wang Pu was able to make a comeback, in fact, because His Majesty wanted to balance the power in the political hall.
This truth, not only Wang Pu understands, Wei Renpu understands, and Li Zhongyi is naturally very clear.
Since Wang Pu and Fan Zhen are mortal enemies, sooner or later they will have to fight for power, so why should others get involved?
It's just that, in this way, there is no one to praise, and the scene in the council hall is completely cold.
The ministers didn't speak, and Yang Jiong, who was standing in the back row, didn't even have the qualifications to open his mouth, so he could only be in a hurry.
Li Yun was shallow after all, so he waited for a long time. finally couldn't help but speak, "There are seven ministers in total. Two phases a day, what is the rotation? β
Wei Renpu was secretly amused. This Li Yun is really uncontrollable, and he is only on duty twice a day, doesn't he put the prime minister in the air?
How could Fan Zhen agree to such a mentally retarded proposal?
Li Zhongyi didn't speak, but raised his eyes to look at Yang Jiong, Yang Jiong stood on tiptoe, and looked at it intently, daring to love that this master's tea soup was exhausted, and asked him to refill the water.
Come on. The ministers discussed all the important things, except for Yang Jiong in the council room, there were no subordinates waiting on the side, and this kind of work of serving tea and water could only be completed by him.
Yang Jiong pinched his nose and took the initiative to refill the tea for Li Zhongyi, he couldn't say anything, but he was very depressed in his heart. When Fan Xianggong was gaining momentum, Li Zhongyi wanted to renew the tea. Although he didn't speak, the action was very unpleasant.
What does it mean to be rigid without desire? Li Zhongyi's current state is!
Among the ministers and ministers in the government hall, those who have military power have gone into battle to kill the enemy. In addition to Li Qiong, the king of Kaiping County in the far south, it is Li Yun, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army.
Li Zhongyi used to hold the strongest army in the world and was famous. Outstanding achievements, now in this Kaifeng City. can only command some old, weak, sick and disabled van troops.
The forbidden army reorganized by the imperial court has been doing business with miscellaneous parties. The rarely trained van army is like a world of difference, and it is simply impossible to compare.
Fan Zhen actually didn't plan at all, some people would praise him, although he was the prime minister who was deeply trusted by today, but he didn't dare to take it as his responsibility to subdue the prime minister.
As long as the protΓ©gΓ© is old and old, he is all over the important places in the DPRK and China, and he can speak in a word, and Fan Zhen will be satisfied.
"No blame, what do you think?" Fan Zhen personally experienced the scene of intimidating Li Zhongyi today, and he had the intention to test the effect, so he deliberately slipped out of this little Li Xianggong.
Li Zhongyi arched his hand, did not get up, and said lightly: "You ministers have a public decision, and there is no objection below." β
Li Zhongyi will have to take a trip to the muddy waters in the political affairs hall sooner or later, but it is definitely not this sensitive time now.
The big husband can bend and stretch, blindly playing out-of-the-ordinary tricks, that's not domineering, that's the brain-dead plot that the writers YY came out of!
Li Yun punched the cotton, although he was unwilling, but it was not good to continue to chase and fight. He was arranged into the political hall, but it was just a bargaining chip used to balance Li Zhongyi and Li Qiong.
Mixing different theories and balancing power is something that any politically mature emperor will certainly do.
Fan Zhen, Li Gu, and Wang Pu are stirred together; Ngo Dinh Zuo and Wei Renpu were neutral; Li Qiong, Li Yun and Li Zhongyi, these three Li Xianggong, restrain each other, and the imperial power will be stable.
Everyone was silent, and Fan Zhen put forward his opinion: the daily three-phase rotation is mediated by him.
Li Zhongyi had already arrived, Fan Zhen would do this, and he also believed that most of the people here, except for Li Yun, a reckless man, could think of this layer.
Seven phases are in the hall, three phases are in shifts every day, and the prime minister is on the Changbai shift, which is just right to grasp the overall situation!
Unlike the rest of the ministers, Li Zhongyi, an upstart man, was almost empty in his pocket.
Kaifeng Mansion sentenced Liu Jinshan, although he was Li Zhongyi's old subordinate, it was impossible for Li Zhongyi to promote him to leave Kaifeng Mansion now.
You must know that although Li Zhongyi lost his military power, the power of the Kaifeng Mansion, the head snake, is actually very useful.
Although Kaifeng Mansion has no forbidden army at hand, it also has more than 10,000 soldiers patrolling the courtyard, even if this force cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, temporarily defend the city, and resist it, it is also quite good.
After all, a trained and organized security police is much better than an ordinary civilian with scattered sand!
In response to Fan Qian's proposal, the ministers had no objections, so it was decided.
Li Zhongyi shouldn't be on duty today, so after the discussion was over, he simply said hello and left the political hall in style.
The difference between the prime minister and the non-public minister is very big.
When Li Zhongyi was still participating in political affairs, he had to sit in the Kaifeng Mansion, and it was impossible to leave without permission until the point.
Now, Li Zhongyi, who has been promoted to the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, is already qualified to work in the house.
In other words, Li Zhongyi can hold the beauty in his left hand, lift the ink pen in his right hand, and hide in the boudoir to review the official documents.
What is privilege? That's it!
When the official is to the extent of Li Zhongyi, as long as he does not want to rebel, whether it is official or private, he has room to squander. A lot.
Li Zhongyi wanted to go back to his house to sleep and hug Caijiao for a while. Then go and deal with the official documents of Kaifeng Mansion.
It's just that the wishes are good. The reality is cruel.
The prime minister's guard of honor had just turned the corner of the alley, but he saw a woman in a snowy suit, standing in the middle of the street.
Li Sixteen, who was in charge of guiding the guard of honor, was originally the commander of the sentinel camp of the northbound army, and he recognized the woman in front of the team at a glance.
"Master, Princess Chai is blocking the way." After Li Yunxiao got the report, she couldn't help but be surprised, this little lady. I can't afford to wait for the idle to mess with it.
Li Zhongyi heard that Chai Yuniang was blocking the street, and couldn't help but smile slightly, even today, Her Royal Highness the princess finally couldn't help but make a move, well, her temperament is much more stable than before.
Others must have taken Chai Yuniang without a move, Li Zhongyi thought about it slightly, anyway, he had already arrived at the door of the house, so he didn't get out of the car and walked.
Li Zhongyi took Caijiao's little hand. With a smile, he commanded: "You hide in the car, don't make a sound." β
Caijiao nodded obediently and said cautiously: "The slave will never dare to provoke Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
Li Zhongyi smiled softly, this little lady cat was in the carriage. I hid for most of the day, and I was really tired.
With the difference in status and power, Li Zhongyi's current life. There is a suspicion of corruption and degeneration.
In the past, Li Zhongyi was still involved in political affairs. It is impossible to take your own concubine to the court together.
After returning home from the dormitory. Li Zhongyi's mentality has changed significantly, and he has been happy in time and can't treat himself badly, which has actually become his mainstream thought.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult!
When he was in the court, Li Zhongyi was holding a little beauty in his arms, his hands and eyes were warm, and his whole body was comfortable!
After Li Zhongyi got out of the car, he raised his eyes and saw Chai Yuniang in a snow suit, with a pretty face, looking at him coldly.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Li Zhongyi walked slowly to Chai Yuniang's side and pretended to bow his hand.
"Count yourself interesting, otherwise, do you believe that I entered the prime minister's house?" Chai Yuniang didn't give any face, and directly tore Li Zhongyi's decency.
Li Zhongyi said cheekily: "Who made you angry today?" β
Chai Yuniang frowned coldly at Li Zhongyi, and said lightly: "If you don't want to lose face, let irrelevant people get out." β
Li Zhongyi thought to himself, he praised a little earlier just now, and the pretty princess in front of him was still so domineering and arrogant.
"Mind me, Your Royal Highness Princess, can my cousin be released?" Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that his cousin Li Zhongming was arrested by Chai Yuniang, but it was just a pond fish that caught fire at the city gate.
Before Chai Yuniang could reply, Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "What are the identities of the two of us?" Standing here and tearing, let people see it, and think I did something to you. β
"...... you" Chai Yuniang had a good fight with Li Zhongyi, she was so angry that she wanted to slap her hand when she raised her hand.
Li Zhongyi didn't blink, raised his hand and grabbed Chai Yuniang's little hand, and said with a smile: "Find a place where no one is, I'll let you beat and scold again, okay?" β
After years of military training, although Li Zhongyi's martial arts are ordinary, his hands and eyes are much more flexible and agile.
Although Chai Yuniang is rude and willful, how have she ever seen such a shameless and frivolous Li Wuyi? She was immediately dumbfounded, her mouth wide open, and she froze in amazement.
Li Zhongyi is secretly funny, the tiger is not powerful, you are a sick cat when you are an old capitalist?
In the past, Li Zhongyi knew that Chai Yuniang liked him, but because he wanted to marry Zhou Jiamin as his wife, he had been deliberately avoiding her.
When the mouse saw the cat, he hid, and the momentum naturally weakened a lot, which fueled Chai Yuniang's arrogance.
Now, Li Zhongyi is a person who has died once, and many of the trivial things that he used to be entangled in have all been thought about.
Great leader, why don't you always like the stinky old nine?
Li Zhongyi has always been very shrewd and capable before, and he seems to have a sleek energy. However, deep in his heart, there has always been a hidden bad problem of the stinky old nine.
To put it nicely, that's Wenqing; The negative statement is actually indignant, fake Qinggao, and pretend to be X.
A sheep is a chaste, but is not a flock of sheep a chaste?
The beauties in Li Zhongyi's back ring are no longer young and old, if he really has the ability, he will treat Chai Yuniang obediently, and he will continue to take concubines and collect beauty.
To tell the truth, in the past, Li Zhongyi had no confidence and trained Chai Yuniang to be a good wife.
Because of Chai Yuniang's noble status, Li Zhongyi used to worry that she was too jealous, and he was afraid that she would use her identity to stir up the restlessness in the family.
Now, Li Zhongyi, who made Chai Rong toss enough, has learned from the pain after being greatly stimulated, and there is already a trend of further blackening of the abdomen.
Damn, you toss the old capital, the old capital tosses your sister paper, this is fair and reasonable!
The mentality has changed, and Li Zhongyi's methods of dealing with Chai Yuniang have taken on a new look.
