Chapter 252: A Pool of Troubled Waters

"Didn't Zeng Qing's family report illness at home? Why today ... Coming? In Yujin Garden, Zhao Ji asked.

"If Weichen is sick for a few more days, there will be traitors who will mess with the government and harm the government." Zeng Bu replied when he heard this.

Li Sanjian thought about it, but politely refused Cai Jing's use of Bi Lin's adulterous sister-in-law case to impeach Zeng Bu, and at the same time secretly went to the prime minister's mansion and told Zeng Bu about it, the purpose was to remind Zeng Bu and let him be prepared.

The reason for Li Sanjian's move is that Li Sanjian can no longer be single-handed, and he can no longer ride the wall, the wall-riding faction is not so easy to do, and if you can't get a wall to push down, there is no wall to ride...

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, this is an eternal truth, but Zhao Ji's big tree is too far away, and the big tree is too big, so it is not possible to take advantage of the shade, but it can crush Li Sanjian to death...

At the same time, according to Li Sanjian's analysis, the situation in the DPRK and China at this time was that one was the Yuanfeng Party headed by Zeng Bu, and the other was the Yuanyou Party headed by Han Zhongyan. Cai Jing and Zeng Bu, who are members of the Yuanfeng Party, are a pair of sworn enemies, and both sides are eager to push each other to the end.

At this time, Li Sanjian wanted to find a big tree or a backer temporarily, either Zeng Bu or Han Zhongyan, but Han Zhongyan had no contact with Li Sanjian at all, so he didn't know each other, but Li Sanjian had a lot of fate with Zeng Bu.

No matter what, Li Sanjian will never look for Cai Jing as a backer, the reason is self-evident, Li Sanjian is unwilling to do this from the bottom of his heart.

At present, the one who can help Li Sanjian the most is the right minister Zeng Bu.

At the same time, Li Sanjian also wants other purposes, that is, the most important purpose, but this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

After Zeng Bu heard about it, he was not only very grateful and appreciative of Li Sanjian, but also did not dare to slack off, so he went into the palace with his illness and met Zhao Ji.

From today on, even if Li Sanjian and Cai Jing officially part ways, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law will exist in name only, and even the name will not exist...

Cai Jing is not deaf or blind, and of course what happened afterwards quickly understood the cause and effect, and hated Li San to the core.

"Why did the Qing family say this?" Zhao Ji's mind at this time was still on the opera not long ago, so he asked absent-mindedly.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Bu Zhengse said to Zhao Ji: "The two parties of Yuanyou and Shaosheng are not allowed to be treacherous, so that Shi Zhe and Jing Bian are in the court, they will retaliate against each other, there is no end, and there is no reason for the world to be quiet." ”

At this time, the leaders of the old party, Su Shi and Su Zhe, were still far away in a remote place, and they couldn't talk about deposing them out of Beijing, but Han Yanzhi and others of the old party were still there, but Han Yanzhi was the left minister of the imperial court, and the most important thing was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Xiang, so Zeng Bu did not dare to blatantly propose to depose Han Yanzhi and others, but only reflected Han Yanzhi with Su Shi and Su Zhe. Cai Bian and Cai Jing are members of the New Party, and they can be regarded as the leaders of the New Party, and they should also be deposed from Beijing at this time, not to mention Cai Jing, whose name is ranked before Cai Bian, and Zeng Bu is even more intolerable.

Zeng Bu's plan was to depose all the leaders of the old and new parties from Beijing, and at the same time to recommend some ministers of the old and new parties, so that he could not only show his impartial position and be a person without party or faction, but also the new party would only be headed by Zeng Bu, and if the old party had no leader, then it would only be attached to Zeng Bu's wing, and Zeng Bu would be able to completely control the government.

However, it won't be long before not only the old party does not buy Zeng Bu's account, but even the new party sees him as a rebellious person, a rat in the bellows, angry at both ends, and no longer human, which Zeng Bu did not expect.

Of course, this is also a later story, so I will not show it for the time being.

"But the Queen Mother is there..." Zhao Ji groaned when he heard this.

Needless to say, Han Yanzhi is the nephew of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and Cai Jing and Cai Bian also have a very close relationship with the Queen Mother or her descendants.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Bu's voice raised slightly and said: "Today, Changjun, how can you 'hang the curtain and listen to the government'? Your Majesty, please follow the story of Jiayou, it is a gift. ”

Emperor Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and in the early days of his reign, he was also listened to by Zhang Xian Mingsu Empress Liu, until eleven years later in the second year of Mingdao did not begin to govern pro-government, during which Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen gradually came of age, at that time it was determined to play the emperor in advance, and the queen mother was repeated, which did not deny that the queen mother "listened to the government", and ensured the status of the emperor, that is, to cater to the queen mother, and to ensure the interests of the emperor, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Zeng Bu took the affairs of the Renzong Dynasty as a precedent at this time, and admonished Zhao Ji to play the emperor in advance and repeat the empress dowager's actions for the second time, which was in line with the new emperor Zhao Ji's intentions, which made Zhao Ji very happy.

Although Zhao Ji was respectful to the Queen Mother Xiang on the surface, at the same time, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, Zhao Ji himself asked the Queen Mother to "listen to the government", but this was also Zhao Ji's helpless move. Since the Empress Dowager Xiang can let Zhao Ji go up, of course, she can also let Zhao Ji come down, so even if Zhao Ji was unwilling at that time, he had to pretend to be a sincere invitation to the Queen Mother to "listen to the government".

But in all dynasties, no emperor is willing to have someone behind his back, not even his own mother, let alone his adoptive mother, Zhao Ji is no exception.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiang's health was not good, and at the same time, with Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne for a long time, Zhao Ji had the idea of making the Empress Dowager Xiang return to politics and pro-government, after all, Zhao Ji is already twenty years old and has become an adult, so there is no need to "listen to the government" again.

But to make the queen mother return to the government, Zhao Ji pro-government can not be a one-step in place, but there must be a buffer stage, at this time Zeng Bu proposed to play the emperor in advance, the second repetition of the queen mother is an excellent means or buffer stage, if this move is implemented, then it will not be long before the queen mother will really return to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji will be able to truly dominate the world, and no one can restrain it.

"Qing's words are exactly what I want." Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and he had long forgotten Zeng Bu's dislike of bumping into his "good deeds", and suddenly "opened up", saying yes again and again.

"Zeng Qing's family, what's going on with Li Hanren?" After the two discussed for a while, Zhao Ji asked.

In the case of Li Sanjian's assassination, Zhao Ji has already been strictly investigated, but so far, there is still no result, so Zhao Ji has this question.

"Everyone in the world says that Weichen has something to do with this case, and Weichen has ordered Li Tuiguan to investigate the case in detail and investigate it to the end." Zeng Bu replied.

"Why do they all say that Zeng Qing's family has something to do with this case?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise when he heard this.

"The case investigated by Li Tuiguan is said to have something to do with a servant surnamed Zhou, but the Hun family of the Zhou official is a distant relative of the old minister, so the old minister just asked about the case in order to avoid suspicion, but before that, the old minister had ordered Li Tuiguan to investigate the case in detail to show the old minister's innocence." Zeng Bu replied after thinking for a moment.

Vote for me with a peach, repay it with Li, Li Sanjian is like this, Zeng Bu of course wants to repay Li Sanjian, this is one of the reasons why Li Sanjian rejected Cai Jing and corresponded to Zeng Bu, Li Sanjian won the support of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was able to investigate the case to the end, of course, it is still what Li Sanjian said, what should be investigated, what should not be investigated, will not be investigated.

Those who know the times are Junjie!

For Zeng Bu, what is a distant relative? Throw it out, and Li Sanjian toss it.

At this time, the struggle for power and profit is a big deal!

"I see." Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Just follow the words of the Qing family." ”

。。。。。。。。

"Official, this case can't be investigated, and the Zhou officials can't fall into the hands of Li Tuiguan." After Zeng Bu left satisfied, Tong Guan suddenly said to Zhao Ji.

Why is that? Who are you? Zhao Ji asked a little angrily when he heard this.

His own retainer was actually assassinated, Zhao Ji was already furious, and a mere official dared to assassinate a court official? It's simply unbearable, and it's infuriating.

"Official!" Tong Guan saw that Zhao Ji's face sank, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "The Zhou officials have nothing to do with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are thinking about Your Majesty!" ”

"Huh? What do you think about me? Hearing this, Zhao Ji asked with a slightly slower face.

"Your Majesty, Zhou is the Queen Mother's person, don't touch him at this time, it hurts the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother's mother and son, why does Your Majesty get along with the Queen Mother?"

"Zhou is the queen mother?" Zhao Ji said in surprise when he heard this.

Who is this straight thief? Zhao Ji felt extremely curious at this time, one would say that it was the person of Zeng Bu, the right minister, and the other would be the person of the queen mother? He is simply supernatural, with his hands and eyes reaching the sky...

"The daughter of the Zhou officials is married to the son of Xiang Zongliang, the second brother of the Queen Mother, and the two families have a close relationship, Your Majesty, don't touch the Zhou officials at this time." Tong Guan replied when he heard this.

"This..." Zhao Ji immediately hesitated when he heard this.

Zeng Bu just played the Ming and wanted to depose Cai Jing and Cai Bian, and these two had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and at the same time, Zhao Ji wanted to play the emperor in advance and repeat the Queen Mother's move, and at this time he really couldn't stimulate the Queen Mother.

smashing at the Empress Dowager Xiang one after another will inevitably cause the Empress Dowager Xiang's disgust, and even cause the Empress Dowager Xiang's counterattack, so Zhao Ji will lose more than he gains.

"Well, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked after thinking for a long time.

"Official!" Tong Guan replied: "This case can be handed over to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple will try the case, and the Kaifeng Mansion will not be asked again." ”

"But... But in this way, I can't stand Li Hanren anymore... Zhao Ji hesitated when he heard this.

Zhao Ji understands that Li Sanjian, Li Sanjian is a matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, and he is conscientious for the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and in order to redress the grievances, he actually reached the point of being assassinated... But at this time, according to what Tong Guan said, wouldn't it be a heavy blow in Li Sanjian's heart?

is such a loyal and good minister, how can Zhao Ji bear it?

"Your Majesty, reward him more." Tong Guan said when he heard this.
