17. Obstruction Zhang Yansheng

"I ......" the emperor still had a reluctant tone. Follow? Dream?. lā

But Yan Zhenqing's next words were completely straightforward: "Since the relocation of Fengtian City, almost a year, the imperial court has never been in charge, so the national system is not right, why do you order the three armies in the world?" Your Majesty can't see the bachelor for a day, how can you not see the scholar for a day, but you can't see the bachelor for a month, how can you not see the ruler for a month? ”

Li Shi completely lost his temper when he said this, and he couldn't refute it at all.

At this time, Li Shi could only look at Zhang Yansheng, who was sitting upright in the train.

Zhang Yansheng also noticed the emperor's eyes, he was anxious, and kept licking his chapped lips.

Last night, as soon as Gao Yue and Wei Gao left, the emperor summoned him and his son-in-law, Zheng Qi, a scholar from Hanlin.

Then in the cabinet, they began to discuss secretly.

"I have heard that the ministers in the city have recently wanted to establish a minister, and they must not be, and Zhang Gong can block me in the court. After returning to Beijing, I will not forget the friendship of Zhang Gong, and I will inevitably announce it in vain and let Zhang Gong enter the political hall. ”

At that time, Zhang Yansheng understood that the emperor definitely did not want to be a prime minister.

Why?

Zheng Qi was still a little confused, but Zhang Yansheng, who was rich in bureaucratic experience, figured it out in an instant.

The Changwu army mutinied, the Jingshi fell, and Li Shi moved to Fengtian City in embarrassment, and the loss was not only those things on the surface - after entering the city, the ministers collectively forced Li Shi to open the prime minister Lu Qi and Guan Bo in the name of "accountability", and then opened the Shence army envoy Bai Zhizhen, and then fired Zhao Zan, the judgment branch.

This means that the ministers thought that these people had been messing around with the emperor in the past to make the world so virtuous, and they didn't dare to directly say that the emperor was not, but they forced the emperor to exile and expel this group of people.

Li Shi is in pain, Lu, Guan, Bai, and Zhao are all their loyal minions, who wants to be lost, the fate of these few people actually represents the collapse of his regime (Lu Qi, Guan Bo), military power (Bai Zhizhen) and Li Quan (Zhao Zan), as an emperor, whether it is prestige or real power, he fell to the bottom at this moment.

If the ministers are asked to collectively elect two or three ministers at this moment, the days when he calls for wind and rain after returning to Beijing will be gone.

Therefore, it is not so much that Li Shi is most concerned about the issue of Beijing now, but that he is most worried about the power distribution model after returning to Beijing.

Li Shi didn't want two or three governors to come out in this extraordinary period, in this case, the immediate restoration of the Jingshi would be all the credit of these governors, what about himself? All that remains is the shame of losing the capital division and fleeing in panic.

No, absolutely not.

After returning to Beijing, I will naturally choose the prime minister according to my own ideas, and I must not let go now.

But Zhang Yanxiang in the pavilion at that time had a sad face, of course he also had his own ideas, he said frankly to the emperor that he should be prepared with both hands - the former hand does not need to say much, and the latter hand is difficult to stop, His Majesty should push the boat and simply let himself be the new prime minister.

"Panic! Such a reluctant request, I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will look at it. Immediately, Zhang Yansheng bowed down and pleaded guilty.

What he means is that I can also replace the original role of Lu Qi, completely obey Your Majesty's orders, and I will do whatever Your Majesty tells me to do, as long as Your Majesty makes a clear statement and lets me enter the Zhongshu Sect.

At this juncture, there are too many people who want to replace Lu Qi.

The emperor can only agree, since it is inevitable to establish a minister, then he will set up an obedient one, at least it must be conducive to the balance of power in the imperial court.

Now Feng Tianyuan's strength from the party has also grown, and it is not a good thing for one family to be dominant.

Now in the temporary court hall of the bell tower, the historians sit on both sides of the civil and military trains, and are constantly recording the discussions between the monarchs and ministers with pens on the case.

On the bachelor's seat, Zheng Qi looked at his father-in-law's back, and his heart was also very nervous.

He saw Gao Yue and Wei Gao sitting in the top place, and they didn't say a word, and they didn't know what their attitude was.

Zheng Qi suddenly felt that he had returned to the time of a few years ago, in the snowy south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, he and Gao Yue were sitting opposite each other under the east and west corridors, and he couldn't fathom Gao Yue's eyes and face at that time.

Gao Yue, is it a friend or an enemy?

Is the mind really vulnerable in front of the number of fate?

In fact, Zheng Qi's heart was also full of pain.

In the same bachelor's seat, Lu Zhen, Wei Cigong, Pei Yanling, Chen Jing, etc. were also silent.

The emperor didn't speak, and glanced at Zhang Yanxiang one after another, which means that we said it in advance, but you should stop it!

But Zhang Yansheng was full of expressions that he couldn't see anything, and he didn't respond to the emperor's eyes at all.

It means "Your Majesty in the previous hand, you have also seen this situation, and you have no power to return to the sky, so let's hurry into the second hand!" ”

Li Shi's eyes let out "Zhang Gong!" again. If the former hand is not good, only the latter hand will be reached, how can there be a reason to put the cart before the horse and give in without a fight? ".

Zhang Yansheng lowered his head and shook slightly, implying that "Your Majesty, don't be stupid, if I stand up and make a move, advocate not to be a ruler, if Your Majesty can't bear it in the end, or set up a ruler, then wouldn't I automatically withdraw from the competition?" So, let's hurry up and make a hand! ”

The two of them fought fiercely through the air on the question of the front hand and the back hand.

"Your Majesty!" A powerful shout like a bell frightened Li Shi and Zhang Yansheng.

It turned out to be Xiao Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who has always been tall and dignified, he stood up with a wat board, and the next sentence was "Your Majesty's return to the dragon is imminent, don't hesitate any longer, please nominate a sage, and assist Sheji." ”

"......" Li Shi wrote "happy" on his face, but he didn't speak.

Who thought about it, and then Xiao Fu immediately said: "The former Xichuan Festival envoy Zhang Yanxian, the family background is pure, and the generation of Taixuan, I am contemplating and decisive, and I know the general situation of the country, and I can serve the Chinese book Lang Pingzhang." ”

"Boom", the entire court was boiling.

Zheng Qi had a surprised expression on his face.

Gao Yue remained silent.

The emperor was dumbfounded.

Zhang Yansheng raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Fu hatefully, he had seen a lot, and knew that Xiao Fu was the first to recommend himself, but in fact, he was "killing", and he was about to appear on the stage with a black face.

As soon as Xiao Fu's voice fell, many ministers in the hall issued a voice of approval - Zhang Yanxiang is certainly qualified, although his resignation from the Xichuan Festival is a little disgraceful.

On the main seat, Li Shi reacted and felt that this time it was time for the "latter hand"?

Anyway, the speed should be fast, "then please ask the Chinese scholar to make ......"

said that it was too late and that was fast, Zhang Yu, the priest of the Ministry of Rites in the train, got up and said loudly, "Zhang Yanxian can't be a face!" ”

"No, listen to me......"

Before the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Fu asked Zhang Yu, why can't Zhang Yansheng be a minister?

"Listen to my ...... first"

Zhang Yu read out in public, one, two, three, four, five, six, and read out the reasons for obstructing Zhang Yanxian.

At this time, all the ministers were silent, and they all bowed their heads.

Zhang Yu's attitude is the attitude of Li Sheng, the commander of Jingdong's divine planning camp.

And when Zhang Yu read it, Zhang Yan's face was like ashes.

Sure enough, the most fearful thing happened, he bet that Li Sheng would not oppose him so blatantly, but he lost the bet.

He overestimated Li Sheng's mind and underestimated Li Sheng's revenge.
