Chapter 544: The power of the army is in hand
Fan Zhen was not in a hurry at all, as if he was looking for Li Zhongyi to come, just to drink tea and talk about the past.
Li Zhongyi is not in a hurry, he has a big handle in his hand, and he does not worry about the quality of the model and does not compromise. Since he has already fired the first shot, he will not get tangible benefits from Fan Zhen, and he will not help Li Hu sit firmly on the throne of the commander of the Tianwu Guard, Li Zhongyi will not give up.
Yang Jiong is also a very patient person, he served the two ministers diligently, did the work of serving tea and water, and secretly observed Li Zhongyi's every move.
Today's matter, Yang Jiong once carefully calculated, his suggestion to Fan Zhen was actually that if Li really held on, it would be better to adopt a strategy of wanting to catch and indulge, and agreed to his request.
Anyway, Empress Dowager Fu trusts Fan Zhen very much, Fan Zhen only needs to get through the current difficulties, and after two or three years, she will completely master the government and politics, just one Li Zhongyi, isn't it just Fan Xianggong pinching and flattening?
Fan Zhen understood in his heart that what Yang Jiong said was indeed the right truth, and at present, when the first emperor collapsed, the young lord succeeded to the throne, and the whole country was in doubt, what was needed most was the stability of the court.
It's just that Li Zhongyi's knife was too deep and too ruthless, which made Fan Zhen feel a little unhappy, so he set up a deep game to counter Li Zhongyi.
It's just that Li Zhongyi has not been affected by the so-called assassin's visit in the slightest, and has been sitting steadily on the chair drinking tea.
Fan Zhen originally waited for Li Zhongyi to beg for mercy, but Li Zhongyi kept a silent posture like gold, standing tall and unmoving.
Li Zhongyi caught a glimpse of Yang Jiongchong's eyes, and he was secretly amused in his heart, surnamed Yang. Although he is extremely smart, he is ultimately less condescending. The concentration of looking down on all beings.
No matter how domineering Fan is and how arbitrary he is. The prime minister's bearing is beyond Yang Jiong's reach.
Chai Rong has always reused Fan Quality, it is by no means a brainless mess, Fan Zhen is a person, shrewd and capable, with a high wrist, and a sense of control over the overall situation.
However, in the eyes of Li Zhongyi, a prophet, there is an inexplicable sense of superiority in Fan Zhen's character.
This kind of everything is inferior. Only Jinshigao's character not only created the quality, but also the most fatal flaw that ruined the Chai family.
As the prime minister of the imperial court, almost all the disciples promoted by Fan Zhen were scribes, and there was no important general in the imperial court.
The way to govern the country is to look at the balance of civil and military forces, and balance each other, which is the king's way.
However. Fan's faction is obviously lame, and none of the famous commanders and important generals in the court are his henchmen.
"No blame, brother. Recently, the old man got a report that the Tianwu Guards were unstable. Li Hu is not effective in commanding the army, it seems that he should be replaced? Fan Zhen said this. Li Zhongyi's face is not obvious, but there is a sense of similarity in his heart.
Fan Zhi's counterattack. In fact, it is a serial set, the so-called assassin is just an appetizer, the key is that Fan Zhen is also very clear about the intimate relationship between Li Zhongyi and the Kaiping County Palace.
Li Zhongyi used the brother of the concubine of the Fan family as food, and Fan took the medicine according to the prescription, borrowed to take down Li Hu, and cut off one of Li Zhongyi's hard arms.
Of course, Fan Zhen never dreamed that it was not only Li Zhongyi, but also Zhao Kuangyin behind him, both of whom had a strong interest in the supreme dragon chair.
The difference is only that Li Zhongyi already knew that Zhao Laoer was going to usurp the throne, and deliberately waited for him to make the first move, and then followed like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
According to the news that Li Zhongyi obtained, Zhao Lao Er has been chatting with Shi Shouxin and others recently, and the time is not short every time.
Outsiders may just think that Zhao Kuangyin, the first person in the military, just wants to communicate the feelings of the former brothers.
Even if Li Zhongyi used his toes to think, he also understood in his heart that Zhao Lao Er was not brewing a rebellion, what else was the matter?
Today's situation, the magic is that although Li Zhongyi has no military power in Kaifeng City, he has grasped the historical facts that Zhao Lao Er is about to start in advance.
Moreover, Li Zhongyi also knew Fan Zhen's way of dealing at that time, which belongs to the logic of the art of war, and the temple is the first to win.
Li Zhongyi was not surprised at all that Fan Zhen would take Li Hu out of the matter, if he didn't do it, it would be called a big failure.
"Fan Xianggong, the government recently investigated and handled a major case of disobedience without a monarch and a father, and I was worried that it would damage the wisdom of the first emperor, so I specially ordered someone to interrogate him strictly overnight." Li Zhongyi's for tat that did not allow him to give way made Yang Jiong spy on the huge crisis.
There is no essential difference between playing politics and playing hooliganism. The common denominator is that to play politics, you must play hooligans, otherwise you will never be able to play it.
Since, Fan Zhen wants to intimidate Li Zhongyi, and Li Zhongyi doesn't play hooligan, when will he wait?
The world is big, the military power is the first, for the sake of this thing, even if he immediately completely turns his face with Fan Zhen, Li Zhongyi will not hesitate.
Yang Jiong never dreamed that Li Zhongyi would dare to openly argue with Fan Zhen, and he was quite willing to take the prime minister off the horse.
Playing hooligan is actually a kind of high-EQ play, without the insight into the world, it can only be an axe for the class, which makes people laugh off their big teeth.
Li Zhongyi's hooligan methods have put Fan Zhen in a dilemma, if he really tears his face, this time, Fan Zhen may not be able to win.
This is because the entry point that Li Zhongyi grasped is that even the Empress Dowager Fu is unlikely to fully support Fan Qian.
Li Zhongyi is still very young, even if he loses this fight, in the future, when the Khitans invade Zhou in the south, even if Empress Dowager Fu is reluctant, she will reactivate him, the famous marshal of Yum.
Fan Zhen was able to sit in today's lofty position, three points by loyalty to the Chai family, three points by extraordinary talent, and four points by his prestige among the scholars.
The part where Li Zhongyi started happened to be the position of the leader of Shilin that Fan Zhen had always been proud of, which was really worrying.
To be honest, if Fan Zhen's prestige among Shilin is seriously damaged, it will be difficult for him to continue to sit firmly on the throne of prime minister.
Li Zhongyi can afford to lose, but Fan Zhen can't afford to lose, after Yang Jiong has this understanding, in addition to looking at Li Zhongyi differently, he has to frequently glance at his lord.
Fan Zhen was squeezed by Li Zhongyi very much, and he really wanted to flip the table with Li Zhongyi immediately and break up.
However, many years of career as a prime minister told him that the more important the matter, the more he should not be in a hurry. It's easy to shoot the table, but what should I do when I'm done?
"The man must go home before the fifth watch tomorrow." Fan Zhen received the look from Yang Jiong, he endured it again and again, and finally decided, let's compromise, for the time being, with the mad dog surnamed Li.
Li Zhongyi got Fan Zhen's promise, and he was sure that Tianwuwei's military power was preserved.
As for what unfavorable actions Fan Zhen will make in the future, it is no longer in the category of Li Zhongyi's concern.
In order to cover the big goal of holding military power, Li Zhongyi deliberately made a small request: "Fan Xianggong, the Xiang army of the Beijing Division has reached the point where it must be rectified. ”
A rare training day in a year? Fan Zhen didn't care about the weak Xiang army at all, so he didn't care too much, just said lightly: "This matter is up to you." ”
Li Zhongyi has won two hands in a row, and he has already made a lot of money, so naturally he will not continue to persecute Fan Qian, if he really turns his face, the outcome is really unpredictable. (To be continued......)
