The incident that happened in front of the prime minister's door of Shang Xianfang was not spread in the end. Of course, some gossip is always unavoidable.

After all, Di Renjie is currently in charge of the election, holding the power of the general election and reshaping the dynasty, and he is at the center of public opinion and discussion, and his every move has attracted a lot of attention. During this period of time, all kinds of rumors around him were also indispensable.

There are many so-called popular people, but if the dignified prime minister forced to kill an idler just because of some disputes over goods and debts, even the most harsh and severe people would not believe it.

Of course, there are also commentators who talk about the fundamentals, that is, Di Renjie's power is too heavy, and government affairs are almost unified. Regardless of whether Di Renjie's festival value is worth believing or not, such a phenomenon is obviously abnormal.

Last year, the Shendu Revolution began to form a post-chaos pattern, and there were as many as ten prime ministers in the political hall. But now, after less than a year, more than half of the seats in the political hall are empty.

Among them, Ouyang Tong, Yang Zaisi, Lu Yuanfang and Zheng Gao, who had a close relationship with King Yong, each withdrew from the political hall for different reasons and methods. Wei Juyuan and Cui Xuanwei also resigned from the court in the contact with King Yong, especially Cui Xuanwei, who was not only dismissed, but even died directly.

In addition, Li Zhaode left the political hall with a special advancement, and Li Daoguang died of illness. At this point, the ten prime ministers of the former political affairs hall are still in power, only Di Renjie and Xue Ji are still in office.

Among them, Xue Ji is honored and favored by his close ministers, and he does not have too strong administrative ability, which is the consensus of many people. So counting it, the only person who can really exercise the power of the prime minister in the political hall is Di Renjie.

Of course, in this process, there are additions in the political hall. Among them, in the imperial history, Zhang Cambodia worshiped the prime minister with the subordinate servant, the old minister Wang Heshan worshiped the prime minister with the left servant of the Shangshu, and the former Anxi Dadu protector Wang Xiaojie returned to the dynasty to worship the military department Shangshu.

In addition, there is also Li Sixun, the prince of the Li Tang Dynasty, who was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River, and was recently called back to the capital as a young eunuch in the palace, and it is said that he intends to return to the court.

But in fact, to be honest, there seem to be a lot of people in the current political affairs hall, but these prime ministers are just in positions, and there are almost no real people who are impeccable in terms of strength and prestige.

Among them, although Zhang Cambodia has a very high reputation, he is also quite old. In his early years, because he was the son of Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Sujie, he was disgusted by the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, so that he was silent for a long time.

It was not until the Yongchang period that time passed, and the characters at that time became stories, and Zhang Cambodia was able to return to the capital to participate in the system and become a blockbuster, and was able to enter the court again.

Zhang Cambodia, who re-entered the DPRK, is already over 60 years old, and has been serving in Xiantai since then, serving as an official position. It can be said that he does not have the experience and experience of the ruling party, and even many people who have a very high evaluation of Zhang Cambodia have to admit that Zhang Cambodia is strong in integrity, but he is sloppy in governance.

Now with Di Renjie presiding over the affairs of Zhongshu Province, the two prime ministers of Menxia Province are Xue Ji and Zhang Cambodia, but when it comes to handling provincial affairs, it is not even as good as when Yang Zaisi was before.

If Zhang Cambodia is not young, then another prime minister, Wang Jishan, can be directly called Renrui. Wang Jishan is nearly eighty years old, and he previously served as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and has been living in Dugi since he was replaced by Wu Youyi, and now he has to be moved out again because there are no important ministers in the court.

Although he is on the throne, Wang Jishan's physical condition and energy are no longer enough to deal with political affairs, so that there is no shortage of jokes in the court, Wang Jishan, the prime minister, drives a donkey when he is strong and boils medicine when he is old, which can be described as timely and powerful.

Compared with Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia and Wang Heshan, the elderly Tiantuan with an average age of more than 70 years old, Wang Xiaojie, who has newly returned to the dynasty, can definitely be called a young and strong representative in the prime of life.

However, Wang Xiaojie was born in a border town, and the only person he called is military exploits, not to mention his ability to govern. Moreover, the imperial court summoned Wang Xiaojie to return to the capital this time, and the original intention was not to let him play any role as a prime minister, but to dedicate it to the reform of the forbidden army.

As for Li Sixun, who is about to return to the capital, to be honest, it's just for everyone to save face. The emperor's intention to vigorously promote the clan is obvious, but there are not many people in the clan who can be cultivated.

For example, Li Qianli, the descendant of Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the auspicious things he offered back then are still stored in the inner and outer mansions, and he does not have the blood line as close to King Yong and the great merit of setting things right and supporting the community. No matter how you say it, it is difficult to represent the Li family to worship the prime minister.

After the fierce blows of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the Li clan relatives who are still alive today cannot be said to have no characters to call at all. After all, King Yong alone is enough to beat the rest of the categories, and among the famous families of the world, no one dares to boast that they can have children who can beat King Yong.

But because King Yong is too good, the other Li clansmen are bleak. Li Sixun, who is about to return to the capital to worship the prime minister, has been estranged in blood, but his reputation is not bad.

However, this so-called is not bad, and it does not mean how high its talent is, but it has eyes. Long before the Empress Dowager purged the Li clan on a large scale, this Li Sixun simply abandoned his official position and retired, escaped to avoid trouble, and there was almost no news for more than ten years. If it weren't for the clan's name still being recorded, I'm afraid that no one would remember that there was such a figure in the Li family's clan.

And as for whether to pay homage to Li Sixun, the tone of the court has not yet been unified, and it is still being discussed. After all, he is still on the way back to Shendu from Jiangnan, but there is still time to discuss.

Such a government and political team is indeed indescribable. But the reason for the formation of such a situation is so profound that people dare not say more.

At present, the talents of the government and the opposition are far from being selected by unscrupulous talents. On the contrary, there are many virtuous relics to be used, but there is no opportunity and way to enter the court. Or to put it more thoroughly, that is, a considerable number of them, although they have enough talent and prestige to serve as prime ministers, are more or less involved in King Yong, so they cannot be used in the court.

One of the most obvious examples of this is Wei Yuanzhong. Wei Yuanzhong is really embarrassing to mention. Not to mention his repeated ups and downs, whether it is talent, qualifications or prestige, he is not weaker than Di Renjie, and even exceeds it in some places.

Moreover, at present, Wei Yuanzhong is not remote, and Rencheng County, which he governs, is located in Dugi Province. If the imperial court intends to reinstate the appointment, a piece of paper will be sent out of the capital, and it will not even take ten days, Wei Yuanzhong will be able to enter the capital and take on the plan. But there is no such action in the imperial court, which makes people curious, suspicious and dare not mention more.

Not to mention the discussion about the ruling team, just when the entire imperial court was busy with the reform and adjustment of various military and political affairs, Shaanxi Daodaxingtai entered the capital with a piece of paper, which made this already somewhat anxious court situation even more anxious.

The performance of Daxingtai is naturally the question of the belonging of western Sichuan, and briefly talks about the trick of Tubo to seek peace.

When the imperial court received this recital, it naturally did not dare to slack off, and Emperor Li Dan immediately summoned the prime ministers to discuss how to reply to the Daxingtai recital.

In the Wucheng Hall of the Great Interior, Di Renjie, who was on duty in the political hall today, arrived first, and then Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Khan Zhi. Xue Ji, the prime minister who was enshrined in the forbidden hall, ascended the palace with the emperor. But even the emperor has been seated for a long time, and the old man King Rui and good people have staggered to the court.

Emperor Li Dan saw that Wang Jishan, who had a spotted face, was already out of breath, and hurriedly ordered to be exempted from courtesy.

Wang Xiaojie, who was also in the palace, said with a considerate face: "It is inevitable that the prince will be old and frail, and it is especially difficult to discuss it when he ascends to the palace. If there is such a thing after that, a special table for a tent should be added to the temple. ”

Wang Xiaojie, a big old man, rarely has such a delicate side, and after hearing this, Emperor Li Dan also nodded with a smile and said: "It's my negligence, come and set up a curtain for Wang Xianggong to clear the dust." ”

Seeing that the emperor listened to his opinion, Wang Xiaojie nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "The ministers and consuls of Shilu naturally have no taboos when the emperor summons them. But if the king lives in the palace, when the mandate of heaven will come to ask, it is unpredictable. The establishment of this special account can save His Majesty from direct observation. ”

Hearing Wang Xiaojie say this, everyone's faces suddenly froze, thinking that Wang Xiaojie was considerate and caring for Wang Heshan, but it turned out that this guy was worried that Wang Heshan would die directly in the palace during the deliberations, and the decay and death would offend His Majesty the Emperor.

Fortunately, Wang Heshan Lao was dizzy and angry, and he had not yet recovered from the fatigue of ascending to the palace, if he really let him hear Wang Xiaojie's words, he might be so angry that he would kick his legs at that time.

It was Emperor Li Dan, who felt embarrassed at this time, and didn't know whether he should continue to set up a curtain for Wang Heshan. If you don't add it, the orders have already been spoken, and it's always difficult to change your words directly. If it is added, it seems that it is really as Wang Xiaojie said, because he is worried that Wang Jishan will die directly in the palace.

It's just that Wang Xiaojie is short-minded, and everything he thinks is written on his face, and he hasn't been in the capital for a long time, and everyone knows about his temperament. If another person said this, most of them would make people suspect that he was satirizing the imperial court. But when Wang Xiaojie said this, he could only say that he was really worried that Wang Jishan would suddenly die in the palace.

"Today, Your Majesty is in the palace to treat all of you, and what you are doing is exactly the matter of western Sichuan played by the Shaanxi Dao Daxingtai. The stakes are too high to be cautious. ”

In the end, it was Xue Ji, the servant of the door, who opened his mouth and solved the embarrassment for the emperor.

After Emperor Li Dan heard this, he also nodded hurriedly, and repeated what Xue Ji said, no longer entangled in whether he should set up a curtain for Wang Heshan.

But the emperor did not have a new order, and the palace people still followed the preface and erected the curtain, so everyone could no longer see Wang Jishan, only heard the wheezing sound in the curtain, and at the same time looked at Wang Xiaojie's eyes also became complicated: Why are you so careful? I didn't realize it, but now I can't ignore it.
