The Ministry of Officials, originally supervised by Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, can be regarded as the base camp of the original East Palace Party. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, the power of the Donggong Party was extremely huge, even if the officials at that time had been heavily slashed by Wei Tianzi due to the relationship between King Zhao Hongrun, and had to divide many powers to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial History Supervisor.

At that time, the Donggong Party was in charge of the promotion and evaluation of officials below the fifth grade in the country, except for the stubble of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who dared to slap the former Donggong prince Zhao Hongli in front of the stubble behind the Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Industry, the rest of the imperial court ministries and local officials, when the officials were heavily slashed by Wei Tianzi, they still had to give three points to the Donggong Party.

Even today's Qingwang Hongxin didn't dare to offend the Donggong Party at that time.

But as the so-called 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi, in just a few years, the pattern of the DPRK and China has undergone earth-shaking changes, first the former Donggong prince Zhao Hongli because of the collapse of the Beiyi military camp, the Donggong Party is on the verge of collapse, and then, Yongwang Hongyu stood out among the princes and won the honor of supervising the country, and then, Qingwang Hongxin, who was once inconspicuous, followed Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to Longxi, and rose strongly, replacing the former prince of the East Palace, Zhao Hongli, and Yongwang Hongyu, who won the honor of supervising the country. Become the most powerful candidate to compete for the position of prince.

In just a few years, the power of the Donggong Party has not been as good as before, to put it mildly, the current Donggong Party is nothing more than in the gap between the Yongwang Party and the Qingwang Party, struggling to survive.

It is undeniable that there are still some people in the East Palace who are bent on supporting Zhao Hongli to become the king of Wei, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the hope of the former prince of the East Palace is really not great.

Today's two hottest candidates for the prince are Yongwang Hongyu and Qingwang Hongxin - non-Yong is Qing.

And in this case, Zhao Hongli suddenly impeached Xi Jiang, the left attendant of his ministry, I believe that many people may not understand: Isn't the ministry in charge of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, why does Zhao Hongli impeach his own people?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because after the collapse of the Donggong Party, Zhao Hongli's control over the officials was much worse than before, not to mention that he had been self-confined for a year, so that now, Zhao Hongli's words in the Ministry of Officials are far less effective than they once were.

I still remember that at the banquet in Qingwangfu a while ago, Zhao Hongrun saw several officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites mixed in.

For example, the Ministry of War, Shilang Tao Ji.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised, after all, Qingwang Hongxin was originally in charge of the military department, but when he was fighting with King Yong in the East Palace, Qingwang Zhao Hongxin followed Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to support Longxi, so that the military department did not have a prince to support him at that time, which made the hand of the East Palace Party gradually extend to the military department.

Later, after King Qing Zhao Hongxin came back strongly, and showed the momentum to compete with King Yong's reputation or even overshadow King Yong's reputation, the officials of the Ministry of War naturally chose to support King Qing Hongxin.

In contrast, Zhou Yu, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, appeared at the banquet in the Qingwang Mansion, and Zhao Hongrun can also understand, because the Ministry of Rites is rare in the imperial court, and there is no palace where the prince is in charge.

However, it is interesting that the officials of the Ministry appeared at the banquet in the Qingwang Mansion.

Look at the criminal department supported by King Yongwang, look at the Ministry of Industry supported by King Su Zhao Hongrun, even one of the officials of these two mansions appeared in the banquet of King Qing's mansion? No!

However, Zhao Hongli is still alive, but some officials from the officials he supervised appeared at the banquet in the Qingwang Mansion, which shows that the officials are no longer as fully supportive of the former East Palace prince as they were back then.

This is not surprising, after all, there are few people in the world who send charcoal in the snow and many people who are icing on the cake, in today's court structure, who cares about Zhao Hongli, the outdated former prince of the East Palace?

If it is not surprising, the officials in the ministry may have already fallen to King Yong and King Qing, one of the two hot candidates for the prince.

At this time, Zhao Hongli suddenly impeached Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, which shows that the former prince of the East Palace is unwilling to be lonely and tries to make a comeback.

In all fairness, the so-called acceptance of bribes and favoritism often depends on the angle and stance from which the matter is viewed.

For example, the left attendant of the ministry in this incident, Xi Jiang, is actually a very small matter.

The reason is that in the list of the first list, there is an examiner who is the son of a friend of Xi Jiang, the left servant of the ministry, so when Xi Jiang recommended the official, he deviated slightly, and he took the son of his friend out of the list and recommended him as the county commander of a county in Shangdang County.

In fact, to be honest, the examinees on the list are actually qualified to serve as local county magistrates, and the problem is only that Xi Jiang ignored the examiners in the front rankings and took a little care of his friend's son - otherwise, most of the friend's son is an alternate official.

Is this a big problem?

To be honest, it's not big at all, just like Zhao Hongrun's recommendation of Jie Zilu to serve as a temporary consultant in the Smelting Bureau, did anyone in the court say anything? No!

And afterwards, the so-called left attendant of the ministry, Xi Jiang, accepted a bribe, and it was just that his friend sent a box of pearls or something as a thank you - even if a friend who has known each other for many years helped you do something, you can't say nothing, right?

Therefore, in general, Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the ministry, is just within the scope of his authority, and takes care of his friend's son a little, others can say that he is not upright enough, but it cannot be said that he knows the law and violates the law, after all, the son of the friend is indeed qualified.

So what is the fundamental problem?

The most fundamental problem is that during the period when the eldest prince Zhao Hongli was closed in the mansion, Xi Jiang, the left servant of the ministry, got too close to Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing.

Yes, ***** is the real reason why Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the ministry, was attacked by the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, otherwise, favoritism, which is several times more serious than Xi Jiang, abounds in the ministry, why is Xi Jiang the only one unlucky?

I think when the East Palace party was strong, it seemed to be a representative word of favoritism and fraud - what? You're not supporting the Prince of the East Palace? Okay, go and wait in the ranks of alternate officials, after ten or eight years, there may be a vacancy for you.

The so-called recommended officials in this era, in fact, are very subjective, the same two alternate officials, the recommender feels that one of them is close to him, so he recommends it, no one can say anything more about this matter, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, I recommend a person who knows it?

Nepotism, nepotism, and friendship among classmates have not been eliminated by the imperial courts of all dynasties.

For example, the current Fenyin Ling Kou Zheng, after he became the Fenyin Ling, he promoted the two senior brothers Shang Yang and Mu Ziyong to be scribes and adjutants, you know, although Shang Yang and Mu Ziyong are full of knowledge, but they have not even participated in the township test, and it stands to reason that they are not qualified to be awarded, but who in the court said anything?

Another example is General Fenyin and Lintao Jun Wei Ji, let the two disciples Mao Bo and Xue Zhi serve as his generals, as his right and left hands, and assist him in training the new army together, what did the court say?

The most incredible thing is Zhao Wenlin of the Anling Zhao family, in the eyes of Jie Ziyuan, the person with mediocre qualifications is because the Anling Zhao family is currently a member of the Su Wang Party and stands on the side correctly, therefore, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun recommended him as Pusaka Ling, what did the court say?

If Xi Jiang takes a little care of his friends is favoritism, then what is Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su?

Therefore, the most fundamental reason is not that the left attendant of the Ministry of Ministers Xi Jiang is favoritism, but that he is on the wrong side, he thinks that after the former prince Zhao Hongli lost power, he threw himself into Qingwang Hongxin, so he was settled by the eldest prince Zhao Hongli.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised, but what surprised him was that Yongwang Hongyu approved Zhao Hongli's impeachment - does this mean that the two forces of Dongyong will abandon their previous suspicions and jointly deal with the alliance of Qingwang Hongxin and Xiangwang Hongjing?

In any case, Zhao Hongrun did not have the idea of participating in it, and managed his own one-third of an acre of land with peace of mind.

As he expected, the DPRK and China were once again lively.

The day after the eldest prince Zhao Hongli impeached the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin and Xiangwang Hongjing launched a counterattack, attacking the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and Yongwang Hongyu for framing Zhongliang, and then the two groups of people quarreled in the court.

It's a pity that this dispute is very unfavorable to Qingwang Hongxin, because Wei Tianzi did not come forward - this treacherous and cunning father emperor in Zhao Hongrun's eyes recuperated in peace in the Ganlu Palace, and indifferently faced the disputes of several sons.

This led to Qingwang Hongxin falling behind from the beginning, after all, in this matter, Yongwang Hongyu was on the side of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, and the worst thing is that at present, Yongwang Hongyu has the right to supervise the country, that is, in the absence of Wei Tianzi, he has the right to decide the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Because of this, when King Yong's approval was issued, the Imperial History Supervisor immediately dispatched to launch a strict investigation of the left servant Lang Xi Jiang of the Ministry of Officials, although King Qing Hongxin wanted to protect Xi Jiang, but in this matter, there was nothing he could do.

But he still held on to it, and used his connections to protect Xi Jiang, because King Qi Hongxin knew very well that if he couldn't keep Xi Jiang, then he would probably be recaptured by the eldest prince Zhao Hongli.

And just when Qingwang Hongxin and Xiangwang Hongjing were about to make a big move, on April 20, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Huanwang Zhao Hongxuan returned to Daliang from Anyi.

After entering the city, Zhao Hongxuan sent his confidant Zhou Yu to Zhao Hongli's mansion to deliver a post, and he himself came to Suwang's mansion to meet his brother Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongxuan visited his brother Zhao Hongrun, there is nothing to say, after all, although the brothers were not born to the same father and mother, they were both raised by Concubine Shen Shu, and there is no difference between them and their own brothers.

But Zhao Hongxuan asked Zhou Yu to deliver a letter of worship to Zhao Hongli's mansion in a very high-profile manner, which shows one thing: Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, is on the side of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli.

This incident became the last straw that overwhelmed King Qingwang Hongxin, after all, today's Zhao Hongxuan is not only the brother of King Su Zhao Hongrun, but also the commander of the 100,000-strong Northern First Army.

In desperation, King Qing Hongxin had no choice but to find a way to see his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi.

Wei Tianzi was helpless about the struggle for power among his sons, and to be honest, he didn't want to participate in it.

And at this time, Zhao Yuanling, who was invited to play chess with him, mentioned it with a smile.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to join, why don't you take a break away from the disputes of the sons? The weather has been perfect for hunting lately......"

"That's a good idea."

Wei Tianzi's eyes lit up and said.
