"Big brother!" Lu Hao hurried to the grocery store.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

"Yesterday, the Lu brothers went to visit Taishou Wang Xian, and after leaving halfway, they returned again, and it was not until late at night that the two brothers of the Lu family left the Taishou mansion. Lu Hao replied.

Xu Chen pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said loudly: "It seems that they have already started to act!"

"Since we can all get the news, presumably the Wanjia side must also know about this matter, but I don't know if the Wanjia side can realize the strict nature of this matter. Xu Chen looked into the distance with his eyes and said quietly.

"Then what should we do?" Lu Hao said softly.

"Don't worry about them, just do our own thing! This time it is not only the contradiction between the Yuzhang Hao clan and the seven sects and five surnames, but also the contradiction between the entire traditional farming family in the north and these maritime groups in the south!"

"With the seven clans and five surnames taking the lead in Chang'an, it is only a matter of time before the united northern family defeats the southern group that is fighting its own battle!" Xu Chen turned around and said leisurely to Lu Hao.

"Then let's wait and see what happens. Lu Hao said.

"Hmm!" Xu Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "At this time, there is no need to rush to play the cards in your hand, this is the happiest thing!"

Lu Hao smiled and bowed his head......

Thousands of miles away, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

On the west side of the imperial city, a row of single-storey small buildings, here is the heart of the Tang Dynasty, the political hall.

The political hall of the Tang Dynasty was different from the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also did not have the official title of prime minister, but the left and right servants were the same as the prime minister, even if the Son of Heaven called the two, he was also called the prime minister.

Tang attacked the Sui system, the central set up in the book, the door, the Shangshu three provinces, divided into the power, the general Zhongshu under the door of the chief is the left and right servants, that is, the left and right phases.

As for Shang Shuling, the governor of Shangshu Province, there were only one and a half people in the Tang Dynasty, and the first one was Li Shimin, who was the queen of Qin and became the Son of Heaven through the Xuanwu Gate! With such a great immortal in front, how could future generations dare to be this Shangshu Ling?

In addition, below the Shangshu Province are the six central departments, which are responsible for the specific implementation of the imperial decrees, which can be described as monstrous authority, and how can an emperor who has some sense of government and smell give such a position to others? Fortunately, with Taizong's ancestral teachings in front, it is also possible to justifiably vaculate the post of Shangshu Ling and let the emperor himself personally lead the six departments.

Of course, this is the practice of the more diligent Son of Heaven, such as Li Shimin, such as Wu Zetian, and Li Longji in the early stage.

As for those ignorant descendants, no matter how good the ancestors were, they would be completely defeated by them, don't mention it!

And the half of the people after Li Shimin are Guo Ziyi, the Taishi who turned the tide in the Anshi Rebellion and was called the loyal martial artist!

The reason why it is said to be half is because after the Anshi Rebellion, because Guo Ziyi made outstanding achievements, coupled with loyalty and ability, officials all over the world did not say that he was bad, so Daizong wanted to add it as Shangshu Ling, but Guo Ziyi did not dare to compare with Taizong, so he resigned, and Daizong then added it as Zhongshu Ling.

Guo Ziyi's glory is a matter of the future, and now he is still eating ashes in Shuofang City!

A few months ago, Li Linfu put Li Shizhi on the way, sent Lin Xilie, who had good qualifications, into the political affairs hall, and at the same time successfully separated the relationship between Wei Jian and Li Shizhi, and cut Li Shizhi's position as the secretary of the Criminal Department, which can be described as a remarkable achievement, if there was no Yang Shenjin, the sudden rise of the "two surnames of domestic slaves", it would be even more perfect!

Therefore, there are now three prime ministers in the political affairs hall!

As soon as the Shangyuan Festival passed, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty still had two days off, and they would not return to the government until the 18th.

But as a prime minister, it is not so good! A huge country with complicated affairs is really inseparable from people for a moment!

Starting from Chinese New Year's Eve, the three prime ministers of the government hall took turns to be on duty throughout the festival, always ensuring that the court could run smoothly. Besides, once the power is contaminated, you can't stop it, and you really can't leave it for a moment, or how to say that a husband can't be without power for a day!

The three prime ministers have all climbed to their current status after many years of ups and downs, so how can they let go of their authority?

It is said that Lin Xilie is on duty today, and Lin Xilie has been in the prime minister for a few months, but his position in the political hall is embarrassing.

Li Shizhi is a person with a free and easy temperament, and he is extremely good at wine! and He Zhizhang, Li Jin, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Li Bai, Zhang Xu, and Jiao Sui are called "Eight Immortals in Wine", which is a good story for a while.

It's just that Li Shizhi, as a Zaifu, drinks every day, and every time he drinks, he will get drunk, and this political matter will inevitably be delayed, and he will not be reprimanded by Xuanzong for this, but it is still the same.

Therefore, before Lin Xilie entered the prime minister, the entire Tang Dynasty's government affairs, big and small, were almost handled by Li Linfu, and Li Linfu had an amazing memory since he was a child, and he remembered everything that Xuanzong ordered clearly, coupled with his excellent administrative ability, so he also handled it properly, which was deeply satisfactory to Xuanzong.

And after Lin Xilie entered the political hall, he did not dominate the world as he imagined before, in fact, he has been doing errands and miscellaneous things in the past few months, because everything is in the hands of Li Linfu, the right minister!

For this reason, as soon as Lin Xilie entered the political hall, he formed an alliance with Li Shizhi, the two have been friends for many years, and their temperaments are compatible, plus Lin Xilie was Li Shizhi's name to the saint when he first entered the prime minister, and Lin Xilie did not dare to forget the kindness of this promotion, so many relationships are there, and they want to fight Li Linfu together, and it is natural for the two to form an alliance.

In fact, in this ten-day annual vacation, the most excited is Lin Xilie!

In more than ten days, he finally passed the addiction of the prime minister, and for the first time tasted the taste of being in charge of the world, I really wish that the annual leave would never end, and the other two prime ministers would never come back, so it was applauded!

It's just that this time the matter is too big, and he, Lin Xilie, really doesn't have the courage to act arbitrarily, so he can only invite the other two to discuss.

The three prime ministers are now discussing in the political hall is naturally Zou Run's letter at the 29th National Congress of the lunar month!

Li Shizhi, the left prime minister, sat on the main seat at the top, and saw that the other two were silent, so he had to say loudly: "Zou Run's letter has already been made clear to the world! When the hundred officials return to the court in two days, they will have to discuss in the court, and today we had better come out with a charter, so that we can set an example for the hundred officials during the court discussion." ”

Li Shizhi said that, and looked at the next two people silently, but the two of them were still kneeling and sitting with the old gods.

Everything Zou Run's excerpt said is a monstrous event, the so-called involvement of the whole body, needless to say, the increase in commercial taxes, the past dynasties have lost the country because of tax increases. As for the so-called Shibo Division, it is the lifeblood of the wealthy family of the direct guide, and if you want to set up such a yamen, it is like directly starting a war with the wealthy families in the south, and no one dares to open up such a major event without permission.

Lin Xilie, as a newcomer to the political affairs hall, naturally did not dare to express his opinions at will before the old-timers spoke. As an old rival for many years, Li Shizhi knows some details of Li Linfu.

Li Linfu, the great-grandson of Tang Gaozu Li Yuancong's father and brother Changping Wang Shuliang. Shu Liangsheng Xiaobin, official to the former governor of Shi. Xiaobin was born to think, and the official went to Yangfu to join the army, and the thought was the father of Lin Fu.

Therefore, although Li Linfu claims to be a native of Jingzhao Chang'an, Li Linfu's childhood was raised in the south, to be precise, in Yangzhou!

Later, after Li Linfu made his fortune, those wealthy families in Yangzhou took Li Linfu's line, and Li Linfu was naturally willing to interact with these families in the south in order to get financial support, and the two sides soon formed a cooperative relationship.

Yangzhou's maritime business has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is probably unreasonable to say that there is no assistance from Li Linfu, a Zhongshu order. And as the most direct evidence of Li Linfu's close relationship with the Southern Maritime Business Group, the chief staff beside him, a member of the Jiangdong Qian clan, is rich!

Therefore, Li Shizhi knows that in today's parliament, Li Linfu's attitude is the key!

"I don't know what the right minister thinks?" Li Shizhi saw that Li Linfu was still indifferent, so he had to go out in person to break the silent atmosphere.

When Li Linfu heard this, he raised his head, looked at Li Shizhi above, and then looked at Lin Xilie, who had a flat face on the other side, and finally said with a little confusion in his eyes: "Zou Run's excerpt, since the saint passed it to us a year ago, what do you want to think about coming to the saint, the two of you also know it, let's be courtiers or do things according to the will of the saint!"

After speaking, Li Linfu hung his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Lin Xilie looked up at Li Linfu, who was looking down silently on the other side, and then looked at Li Shizhi, and it happened that Li Shizhi's gaze also turned around, and after the two glanced at each other, they didn't say anything.

"In that case, then let's do what the saint wants!" Li Shizhi said leisurely.

After speaking, Li Shizhi asked Lin Xilie again: "Lin Xiang, what do you see?"

"Since both the left and right ministers think so, they naturally have no objections!" Lin Xilie said with a smile.

After that, this important but short meeting ended quickly!

Then, Li Linfu stood up, bowed his hand to Li Shizhi, and turned to leave.

After the meeting was adjourned, in the corridor in front of the government hall, Lin Xilie quickly caught up with Li Shizhi in front of him, and whispered to him: "Why did he agree so happily?"

Li Shizhi naturally knew who this "he" was, and said faintly: "I didn't expect this old fox to be so happy this time!"

"No, shouldn't he know that once the City Shipping Division is established, the life of those maritime merchants in Yangzhou will be very difficult! How will he explain to those people when the time comes?" Lin Xilie said in wonder.

"Who knows?" Li Shizhi shook his head slightly, and then said: "Leave him alone! Maybe this old fox has already figured out how to explain to them!"
