In the side hall of King Ning's Mansion, Lu Zuo raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip gently, "Now it's time to fight back." ”

Liu Xun has been waiting for his words for too long, since Lu Zuo left the capital, for more than three months, the people who watched the crown prince Liu Yan make waves every day, making him unable to swallow all day long, now it is finally time, now that Lu Zuo has returned victoriously, coupled with Gao Yun's cooperation, he believes that he has the ability to take away everything he has lost in the past few months, thinking of this, the corner of King Ning's mouth showed a sly smile, "Mr. Lu, then what should we do next." ”

"Lord Wang, first tell me what the current situation is in the court!"

Liu Xun lowered his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said: "In addition to a few small changes that are not enough to worry about, there are a few very important adjustments that are the official department Shangshu Quanshi Dao, this person is a celebrity around Liu Yan, a few years ago when the prince went to Dengzhou to inspect, Quanshi Dao is still the history of Dengzhou Mansion, last year was transferred to the Jingshi, has been the second in command of the Ministry of Officials, just before and after you walked less than ten days, Liu Yan's people recommended him to the emperor, saying that Lao Shangshu is old, it is already the year of Zhishi, let the right master Dao replace, I didn't expect the emperor and his old man to agree. ”

"Quan Shi Dao? The right to teach! Master Quan said......" Lu Zuo muttered a few words again and again.

"Mr. Lu? Do you know him? ”

"Oh! I've heard of it, but I don't know it! Lu Zuo's face was still as calm as water, "It's just that the officials are in charge of the assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials, if the prince's people master the officials, it will be very unfavorable to ......."

Liu Xun knocked on the table again and again with a sad face, "Who said it wasn't?" This time it's good, as far as I know, Quan Shidao is a person who likes to find faults, and with him in the ministry for a day, there will be no good life for us. ”

Lu Zuo continued to ask, "Are there any other changes?" ”

"There is also the change of the household department, which is not surprising, the vacancy of the household department has been a headache for a long time, and finally decided to let Xia Jingying fill the gap, Xia Jingying looks honest on the surface, I think he is also a thousand-year-old fox with only his tail between his legs."

Lu Zuo asked puzzled, "How do you say this?" ”

"Not only is it cunning, but it doesn't have much in the hands of others. It is said that when he was on an errand in the household department, he was very good up and down, and the emperor originally wanted him to take over the household department directly, but I don't know why the emperor has been hesitant and undecided, this time it was so refreshing, and with a stroke of the pen, Xia Jingying took over the household department. ”

"You said that the emperor has always wanted him to take over as the head of the household, but he has not made up his mind?"

"Yes." Liu Xun's eyes also flashed with surprise, "On the morning of October 29, the crown prince recommended Xia Jingying, and the emperor was embarrassed at that time, but what is even more strange is that the emperor even asked my opinion, I was also strange at that time, thinking that this should be the emperor testing me, and I remembered Mr. Lu's words at that time, so I didn't express my opinion at that time." So the emperor granted the prince's request. ”

Lu Zuo nodded meaningfully, "It seems that the emperor actually doesn't trust Xia Jingying very much, this time we have to start with Xia Jingying first." ”

"How?"

The side hall of the palace was quiet again, Lu Zuo and Liu Xun planned in a low voice, and after saying that, Liu Xun clapped his hands and said: "Clever plan!" ”

"There is another important thing to report to the court tomorrow morning, that is, the Pang Gu brothers' posthumous sealing, I hope the prince will be able to say more at that time."

Liu Xun arched his hand, "This Mr. Lu, don't worry, I will do my best to deal with General Pang." In this matter, the king heard that you handed the merit book to the emperor, and the name of General Pang was removed from the ministry side. ”

"There's Lord Lao."

"Mr. Lu is polite, it's all his own family." When Liu Xun said this, his face was dark again.

"Lord Wang, what's the matter? Difficult? ”

"Not really." When Liu Xun said, his face was unhappy, "Now in addition to the two vacancies of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, which have been taken advantage of by the prince, there is another place that has also been moved by the prince." ”

"You mean Jin Wuwei, right?"

"Exactly!" Liu Xun said angrily, and then gritted his teeth and asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Lu know so quickly?" ”

"Gao Yun told me about this when he came back. When he set out for the expedition a few months ago, the post of General Jin Wuwei was recommended by Gao Yun, that is, Liu Bozhao, the star of this year's martial arts list. The prince and they always thought that the Gao brothers were their people, but they didn't expect the prince to be at ease. ”

"Yes, now a person named Deng Zhuo has been arranged, he was originally the commander of the prince's guards, and now he is also in charge of Jin Wuwei." Liu Xun slammed his fist on the table again, "Damn, it's really annoying to me." ”

"The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, the lion will never swallow the prey in one bite."

Liu asked, "What does Mr. Lu mean?" ”

"It's impossible to bring down all the prince's people at once."

"Alas......" Liu Xun sighed, "What does Mr. Yilu mean?" ”

Lu Zuo closed his eyes and didn't answer, and only opened his eyes after a while, "The reason why the appointments, dismissals, and promotions of officials in the past few months have been so frequent, and the princes have been able to proceed so smoothly every time, it can be said that it is precisely because there is a powerful teacher in the ministry, so it is ...... now."

"How?"

"He must die too, but not now!"

Liu Xun nodded with satisfaction, "That's right." But...... However, it is not entirely because of the power of the master, there is now a person behind the participation of the people. ”

Lu Zuo's face sank, could it be him? It's impossible, he rarely asks about party disputes, the prince installed these officials, would he not understand? So he asked, "Really?" ”

"It's true!" Liu Xun's face revealed incredulity, "If it weren't for the emperor and his old man telling me, I wouldn't believe it!" ”

"What did the emperor tell you?"

Liu Xun pondered for a moment and continued: "On the morning of October 29, the emperor only asked me symbolically, in fact, the night before, the emperor also summoned the king. At that time, the emperor said that someone had recently recommended Xia Jingying to him as the head of the household, and asked me what I thought about this, and wanted to hear my opinion. ”

"What did you say, lord?"

"At that time, the king remembered what you said, and he must not do anything at will, and he did as you said. I said that the matter is big, and there is still the emperor's decision. ”

"The emperor can't let you fool you so easily!"

Liu Xun asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, how do you know?" ”
