Chapter 411: The Way Home (3)

The chaos in the government continued.

At first, many ministers, including the ministers of the government department, were able to exercise restraint, but with the aggressiveness of the right minister's party, some people's anger finally broke through to the apex and began to fight back.

With the first, there will be a second, and the struggle between the government and the government will eventually spread completely, and some people will be forced to participate, and some people... It's ill-intentioned.

In the imperial history, Liu Chongji fell, his family was rampant in his hometown, occupying fertile land, forcibly buying and selling, and finally was shaken out in the court, the evidence is conclusive, Liu Chongji is an important minister of the court, but he did not report it, and he was suspected of covering up, as soon as the matter came out, Liu Chongji could not quibble, and finally stepped down gloomily and took the initiative to resign.

With the fall of Liu Chongji, another Yu Shi Zhong Xia Zhun became the only Zhongcheng chief official in Yu Shi Tai, completely grasped the power of Yu Shi Tai, and began to become active.

In the space of a month, three court meetings, more than 20 officials were dismissed and driven out of the court.

The vast majority of these people were courtiers outside the party of the Right Minister.

During the reign of Yang Daosi, although there were fights in the court, everyone had a consensus, that is, there was something to say, there was reason to reason, and when encountering major disagreements, disputes were difficult, with the guidance of Yang Daosi and Liu Ji, Zhao Zhi mediated in the middle, balanced the interests of all parties, and the situation could always be controlled to a certain extent and would not expand comprehensively.

At that time, in the court, there were Yang Daosi, Liu Ji, Wang Renzi, Yue Jiming, and even the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hongzhi, who was the first to Zhishi, these people, whether they were qualifications, ability or prestige, were few people in the entire court, these people were in the town above, who could mess around? Who would dare to mess around? With them carrying Zhao Zhi's big sedan chair, Zhao Zhi sat firmly and comfortably.

Now, Yue Jiming has been removed from all positions and stepped down gloomily, Wang Renzizi has also been kicked out of the political hall, Hong Zhen and Liu Ji have continued to pay tribute, Yang Daosi has died, and the five pillars of the court are now gone.

Zhao Zhi's idea is actually right, except for Wang Renzi, who is still young, the rest of the four people are all dying and old, and there will be a day when they will leave, and a generation of new people will beat the old people, which is an inevitable thing.

In the last few years of Yang Daosi's reign, the political attitude has softened significantly, the reason for this change is to seek stability, and the other is to seek stability, and secondly, because during this period, whether it is Yang Daosi or Zhao Zhi, they are already entering their old age, and they think the most is how to make the country stable and the court stable after a hundred years, the starting point of the two is the same, but the process, the means and thoughts they use are very different.

Yang Daosi himself does not have much political ambition, he is loyal to the country, he is also loyal to the family, he has always looked for a balance between the family and the country, and he is looking for a balance point of coexistence.

Yang Daosi's approach is to take a step back and broaden the sky, for this reason, he gave up his support for the king of Chu, with great determination, greatly adjusted the internal power structure of the family, reused Yang Luwang, and eliminated the estrangement between the imperial court and Shuzhou, all of what he did was to show an attitude, eliminate Zhao Zhi's suspicions and doubts, and let Zhao Zhi understand that the Yang family in the future will never be a threat to the new emperor Zhao Xun, if it is used well, it can become a big help.

Zhao Zhi understood Yang Daosi's thoughts, and an agreement was reached between the two, and the right minister was still the Yang family's person, holding the Yang family's status in the imperial court, and the balance between the two was formed again.

But the mistake is that Zhao Zhi is too anxious to do some things, and he is too anxious, and many plans will deviate from the intended goal.

Because of Yang Daosi's concession and support, Zhao Zhi successfully reorganized the political affairs hall, in addition to Yang Daosi and Liu Guanghui, the son of Liu Wei, the two unchanged, Liu Zhigu, Liu Zhongyuan, and Xiao Hui, the three new ministers, are all important ministers who Zhao Zhi pulled up with one hand, together with He Zhongkai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Anming, and Zheng Renjie, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, six of the eight ministers in the entire political hall belong to Zhao Zhi, and the political pattern of the entire court has been completely broken.

As the situation progressed, Zhao Zhi's mind finally changed a little, and he had another thought, why did he need to compromise and balance interests with the Yang family? Wouldn't it be once and for all to completely defeat the entire Yang family?

Subsequently, Zhao Zhi transferred Li Zhong back to Fengjing as the left minister, stabilized the military strength of the capital, and further reused Yang Luwang, planting a seed for the division of the Yang family in the future.

Zhao Zhi's intentions and thoughts, how could Yang Daosi not see it?

How did Yang Daosi do it? With the way of others, but also the body of others, the rise of the winged king Zhao He in Hedong, although Zhao Zhi intentionally, but this rise, obviously greatly exceeded Zhao Zhi's expectations, he never wanted to see Zhao He control the entire military and political power in Hedong, and the process, the Yang family and the right party, have a vital role in promoting.

The rise of Zhao He has caused unease among many courtiers, the prince is in charge of the place, and has military and political power, which is a taboo in all dynasties, and there have been too many empires in history, all of which are related to this, including Qin Anming, Liu Zhigu and other Zhao Zhi's cronies, all of whom expressed strong dissatisfaction and opposition, which also divided Zhao Zhi's internal strength.

Because Yang Binglin had no children, Yang Daosi sent a signal that he intended to let Yang Luwang's son succeed Yang Binglin as the head of the Yang family, and further deepen and consolidate the relationship with Yang Daoan in Shuzhou.

Subsequently, an agreement had been reached with Zhao Zhi that the Yang family would not have local military power in the rest of the country except for Shuzhou, but when the Yizhou defense envoy Yang Zuo and the Lingzhou governor Yang An were transferred and appointed to the court for discussion, Yang Daohei, who had been low-key, finally spoke out and objected.

The occurrence of these things finally calmed down Zhao Zhi, he knew that some things were taken for granted, and many things still couldn't be bypassed Yang Daohei after all.

Struggle and compromise, imbalance and balance, are always the constant theme.

But compromise is also an art, and you can't just give up.

Zhao Zhi threw out the power to reform the governor's affairs and reduce the number of governors, either for Yang Luwang or for the entire court, this is actually like doing business, I will shout the price, you will bargain.

A secret contest.

Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi reached a compromise again.

Zhao Zhi recalled the Wing King Zhao He back to Fengjing, he was not prepared to let him go back to Hedong, whether he went to Longyou, or he was ready to be promoted again, it was all a disguise, and the real intention was one, without my order, you would stay in the capital and not go anywhere.
