The civilian class, if you want to get ahead, it is too difficult and too difficult, even if it is the way of the imperial examination, it is also being eroded and occupied step by step by the gate valve family, but Zhao Zhi's dynasty, for officials such as military generals, although the defense and suppression are very heavy, but the rewards are also very heavy, because of the expansion of the army, not only a large number of children of the gate lord family poured in, but the same is true of the civilian class, the most representative is Wang Huailie, the envoy of Chuzhou Jiedu, as well as a group of senior generals such as Shan Qiu, Mao Anfu, Yuan He, etc., are all born in the civilian class, relying on hard work and struggle, Step by step, their success has inspired a large number of ambitious poor people.

Therefore, Zhao Zhi's dynasty may have such and such problems, but only in terms of military aspects, its entire combat readiness and military strength have indeed made a qualitative leap and improvement.

Just like at the beginning of the founding of the country, after the baptism of war, the population has decreased sharply, social resources are enough for people to distribute, all problems are slowly accumulated and erupted, and the current military environment is the same, Zhao Zhi began to expand the army, there are a lot of resources, as long as you are willing to work hard and struggle, you can get a little benefit and benefit after all, but now, thousands of children of the gate lord family are flooded with the army, they first joined the army, perhaps as a last resort, but with the promotion of status and power, Slowly began to be valued by the family, and gradually received strong support and help from the family, under the same circumstances, how could a general from a poor family win these people?

With the increasing number of such people, the generals of the poor class, their pressure is getting heavier and heavier, the benefits and benefits they can get are getting less and less, and dissatisfaction and anger have begun to spread throughout the military system and are on the verge of breaking out.

You Yuanfeng pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I understand what you said." ”

Liu Yu stood up and said lightly: "There are more and more riots in various places, in fact, it doesn't matter, because the foundation of the imperial court is still there, although there are many riots, but after all, it will not become any climate, what I am afraid of is that the army, the leadership of the officers, the family and the Hanmen, have begun to divide, and the contradictions between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, and they blame each other without fighting, so that the situation will become worse and worse, so that the final situation is uncontrollable, which is what makes people most worried." ”

You Yuanfeng also stood up, looked at Liu Ji, and said in a deep voice: "You came to Fengjing this time, I'm afraid it's not just to see Yang Daosi, right?" ”

Liu Wei smiled: "Take a step back and open the sky, sometimes, you can only protect yourself if you are willing to do so." ”

You Yuanfeng said disdainfully: "It's a good thing to say, isn't it just quitting the officialdom and watching the situation change, in order to protect yourself?" ”

The smile on Liu Ji's face slowly disappeared, and he was silent for a moment before he said silently: "Isn't it the same for your You clan?" What qualifications do you have to mock my Liu family. ”

You Yuanfeng sneered: "It's a choice, but the old man dares to act boldly, he won't hide it, for the benefit of the family, the others are bullshit, what about you Liu Ji?" has always called himself a national soldier, loving the country and the people, but now? When it comes to making a decision, aren't you just thinking about how to protect your family? ”

You Yuanfeng ridiculed bluntly, Liu Wei was not angry, but had a deep sense of shame on his face, his original ambitions and ideals, but now, in the face of reality, it turned out to be just a piece of shit, and it stinks.

The reason why Liu Ji is ashamed is because he thought of Zhao Zhi, no matter what the reason, everyone for a goal and ideal, Zhao Zhi gave Liu Ji and Yang Daosi enough trust and reuse, but in the end, Zhao Zhi's life is about to come to an end, Yang Daosi has been buried in the fire, their ideals and goals have not changed until death, and what about themselves? Before the overall situation of the world was about to undergo drastic changes, he chose to quit and protect his family and himself, what country and monarchs, just like You Yuanfeng said, it was all bullshit.

"Although His Majesty has no eloquence today, but he is good at scheming, and he can also know how to make good use of people, the crown prince Zhao Xun's talent is not obvious, and his character is too strong.

After Liu Ji finished saying this last sentence, he bowed to You Yuanfeng, and then walked away.

Looking at the carriage of Liu Ji's departure, You Yuanfeng fell into deep thought, Liu Ji's entry into Beijing this time, there must be other purposes, from Fang Cai's words, Liu Ji's mind has been fully revealed, the Liu family is ready to fully launch the officialdom, You Yuanfeng couldn't help but think of Liu Ji's son, Liu Guanghui of the political affairs hall Xiangguo, he succeeded Liu Ji as the prime minister, although there is no left party, but only this position, the glory of the Liu family can still continue, if Liu Guanghui also withdraws, Liu Ji's decisiveness and courage are really awe-inspiring.

It was fast forward to mid-September.

For ordinary people, it is just a simple time count, but for others, it is full of fear and speculation.

From the end of August to the middle of September, in less than 20 days, many major events took place inside and outside Fengjing.

On the second day of the conversation between Liu Wei and You Yuanfeng, the political affairs hall Xiangguo, and Liu Guanghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked for the resignation of the prince and the prince Zhao Xun on the grounds that he was unwell, his father Liu Ji's time was short, and he should go home to fulfill his filial piety.

Liu Guanghui's voluntary resignation from the position of prime minister immediately caused a sensation in the court.

An official from low to high, and finally enter the political hall as the minister, is the highest dream and goal of all scholars, to be able to get to this point, it is really very, very not easy, so, once for the minister, unless it is passive to have to leave, or too old, time is running out, otherwise no one will take the initiative to resign to the office, not to say no, but very few, at least in Zhao Zhi's dynasty for decades, in addition to the former political affairs hall Xiangguo, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hong Zhi is old and took the initiative to give office, there is no second person to take the initiative to resign.

Liu Guanghui is not yet forty-five years old this year, and it is when he is in the prime of life, and his sudden resignation at this time not only caused a sensation, but also made many people wonder, what is the purpose of what kind of purpose he is doing this?

Liu Guanghui belongs to the neutral faction, for people with a strong desire for power like Zhao Xun, since they can't be used for themselves, people like Liu Guanghui obviously don't have much need to exist, Zhao Xun will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, in order to achieve his political goals, people who can't be used for themselves will become targets, but if you want to take out a political affairs minister, even if it is an emperor, it is very difficult, unless it is an emperor like Zhao Zhi who has a high prestige and a long life, maybe he can volatilize his will and political goals to a large extent.

Liu Guanghui's initiative to resign naturally hit Zhao Xun's heart, but he was still quite cautious, and immediately returned Liu Guanghui's Zhishi recital, which was not allowed.

Subsequently, within two days, Liu Guanghui wrote to resign five times, and his words became more and more intense every time, until this time, Zhao Xun understood that Liu Guanghui was not joking or had any other purpose, but really wanted to resign to Zhishi, so Zhao Zhi officially wrote and approved Liu Guanghui's request in the name of the prince and the country.
