Kaifeng City, in the Cabinet.

The four prime ministers were all present, but everyone's faces were ugly, especially Liu Jinshan, he never dreamed that Li Zhongyi would be defeated, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Prime Minister Wei Renpu didn't bother to drink tea, his mood was unusually heavy, and Li Zhongyi's defeat would obviously change the situation in the DPRK dramatically.

The emperor, the strong soldier and the strong man do it, this is an unbreakable truth since ancient times!

Li Zhongyi was originally the most powerful feudal town in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and with his army, other careerists would not dare to act rashly.

Today, the largest force in the imperial court has been defeated by the Khitans. Where will the entire court situation go, Wei Renpu's heart is completely uncertain.

"Is the news confirmed?" After all, Li Qiong is an old man, and when she opened her mouth, she asked at the key node.

"It's news from the palace of the ruling king, and there are bursts of crying inside." Kong Kun snorted at the east side of the wall, the meaning was very clear, Li Zhongyi had indeed had a big incident.

Otherwise, how could there be unstoppable crying in Lao Li's house?

After Kong Kun's only daughter was elected to the palace, not only was she not favored, but she was relegated to the Huanyi Courtyard, he was on fire in his heart, sulking, and deliberately said some strange things, and the ministers present were also understandable.

Li Qiong's granddaughter is in the ruling palace next door, and she is pregnant, and the relationship between him and Li Zhongyi has broken the bones and tendons.

"The old man doesn't believe it's true." Although Li Qiong didn't have any evidence, his intuition told him that Li Zhongyi was definitely not a short-lived ghost.

Liu Jinshan is Li Zhongyi's confidant Wenchen who was promoted to the cabinet, and since Li Qiong opened his mouth, he immediately followed closely and said loudly: "I don't believe it either." ”

On the side of the four kilometers, two of them showed their attitude, and the rest of Wei Renpu and Kong Kun, the pressure on the two of them was not ordinary!

"Whether it's true or not, we must stabilize the political situation until the day the truth is revealed." Even if Wei Renpu has some "small" ideas, he will not say it in front of everyone, and his statement on the surface is calm and stable, without the slightest flaw.

Kong Kun hesitated, and said something from the bottom of his heart, after his only daughter entered the palace, she was actually relegated to the Huanyi Courtyard, is this simply insulting the dignity of the prime minister?

How can there be no complaints?

It's just that Kong Kun was originally just a small assassin, and only after receiving the grace of Li Zhongyi's acquaintance was he qualified to enter the cabinet as a minister.

If Kong Kun is completely emotionless for Li Zhongyi, it is not true. It's just that the anger in his heart has to be vented, right?

"The lord went to the inner house, and it was also a little messy." After all, Kong Kun is the prime minister of a country, and he still has to be face-saving after all, he deliberately did not say it explicitly, but he revealed his unhappy thoughts in a twist.

The people present did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and Li Qiong immediately realized that Kong Kun was very dissatisfied with the miserable experience of her daughter.

At this time of turmoil, Li Qiong felt that one more stable minister would give him a great boost, thus putting more pressure on Wei Renpu, who had an unclear attitude.

"There is indeed some chaos in the Lord's inner house, and it's time to rectify it." Li Qiong stroked her beard and said lightly.

Li Qiong is an old man, so naturally he can't say it clearly, and he wants to secretly help the Kong family through Li Qiniang's hands.

Kong Kun understood Li Qiong's hint, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said: "For today's plan, stabilizing the overall situation is the most important, and we must especially beware of the secret chaos of the rebellious ministers and thieves." The position is clearly on the side of Li Qiong and Liu Jinshan.

Wei Renpu is old and has no ambitions. He was just worried that Li Zhongyi's defeat was likely to cause serious consequences of re-choosing sides, how would their old Wei family deal with themselves?

"Old Minister Wei, are you planning to ......" Li Qiong deliberately dragged his voice, but quietly pushed Wei Renpu into the corner.

"The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the situation. The key to stabilizing the situation lies in the candidates who will supervise the country, and more importantly, who will Li Yunxiao support? Wei Renpu is also an old fox in the old rivers and lakes, he naturally did not jump into the pit dug by Li Qiong, but instead shook a shot, focusing on Li Zhongyi's sons and Li Yunxiao's body.

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country!

If, now, one of Li Zhongyi's sons is pushed to the position of superintendent, in case Li Zhongyi comes back in a hurry, how will the ministers of the cabinet deal with themselves?

Wei Renpu didn't have a good heart!

Li Qiong glanced at Liu Jinshan, but saw that Liu Jinshan was looking at Kong Kun intently, and Kong Kun was staring at Wei Renpu's body, obviously the focus of their respective attention, and they were all very different.

However, Wei Renpu is indeed not wrong, the current political situation in Kaifeng is actually in the hands of two forces, one is Li Zhongyi's sons, and the other is Li Yunxiao, who holds the military power in Gyeonggi.

At present, among the Beijing divisions, there are only 10,000 regular imperial court forbidden troops, and another 20,000 township troops, these 30,000 people are completely in the hands of Li Yunxiao.

Jianghu has always been based on strength, Li Yunxiao, who has mastered the military power of the Beijing Division, no matter which son he supports Li Zhongyi, that person is the natural heir.

"Before the Lord left, he instructed us and other important ministers that the cabinet should supervise the affairs of the country." When Liu Jinshan said this, he deliberately stopped and didn't say anything.

Li Qiong narrowed her eyes and nodded secretly, Liu Jinshan's words are equivalent to breaking the fallacy of Wei Renpu's proposal to establish a prison country in one fell swoop, great good!

"Why don't you call Li Yunxiao and ask him what kind of opinion he thinks?" Kong Kun has long seen that Li Yunxiao is not very pleasing to the eye, that thief bird is relying on Li Zhongyi's favor, and he never takes the ministers of the cabinet in his eyes, he is really arrogant to the extreme.

"When the lord was in Beijing, he always emphasized the path of civil and military affairs, although we are the head of civil ministers, I am afraid it is not easy to interfere in military affairs, right?" Liu Jinshan has always attached special importance to the rules set by Li Zhongyi.

Li Qiong was concentrating on every next link, when he suddenly noticed that there was no sound in the cabinet, he couldn't help but look up, but saw that Kong Kun, Wei Renpu and Liu Jinshan's eyes were all focused on him.

"Princes, what are you ......" As soon as Li Qiong's words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to recycle, "Wenchen does not prepare for the military, this is indeed a rule set by the Lord." Naturally, we are not easy to ask, but Concubine Xue and her old man ...... "deliberately implicit but not revealed."

At this moment, all the ministers will understand, in this extraordinary period, Li Zhongyi's own mother, Concubine Xue, the future queen mother, her old man is always qualified to summon Li Yunxiao, right?

With this said, the opinions of the entire cabinet were immediately unanimous.

Wei Renpu beckoned a hall official and ordered him to go to the old Li family next door to say goodbye, and said that the four ministers of the cabinet asked for Concubine Xue's summons.

Seeing this situation, Liu Jinshan couldn't help but sigh secretly, fortunately, Mrs. Li was already seriously ill in bed, otherwise, if he only asked Concubine Xue but didn't ask Mrs. Li, after all, it was still a little unreasonable.

Mrs. Li's allusion to Li Zhonghao's partiality, all the ministers of the cabinet, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?

To put it bluntly, the four ministers of the cabinet are afraid that the successor pushed out by the old Li family is actually Li Zhonghao's kid.

When Li Zhongyi's whereabouts are unknown, among the adult males of the old Li family, Li Zhonghao still belongs to him, and even the reason for pushing him out is ready-made, the country depends on Changjun!

But the problem is that the four ministers here are all ministers promoted by Li Zhongyi. If Li Zhongyi doesn't have a son, Li Zhonghao still has a chance to get on the throne, after all, he is Li Zhongyi's half-brother.

However, the younger brother closest to Li Zhongyi's blood relationship is Mrs. Xue's brother, not Li Zhonghao, who has an old grudge against Li Zhongyi.

The so-called national dependence on the monarch is a choice from the standpoint of the royal family.

For the four ministers of the cabinet, the introduction of Li Zhongyi's young son to succeed the old Li family is more in line with the fundamental interests of the ministers.

The lord Shaoguo suspects that it is a good time for the prime ministers to seize power for the cabinet, who is not happy to increase the authority?

After a short period of time, the official ran back to report that in half an hour, Concubine Xue would summon all the ministers in the council chamber of the ruling palace.

Li Qiong's spirits were immediately lifted, and after Concubine Xue was shocked to hear the bad news, she actually decided to summon the ministers so quickly, which shows that she is a woman with great wisdom.

As a result, the four ministers of the cabinet, headed by Wei Renpu, entered the ruling palace together.

When Wei Renpu and the others arrived at the council hall, Concubine Xue hadn't come yet, but the subordinates were likely to be instructed, so they directly invited the ministers to sit down and served tea.

How could several prime ministers have the heart to drink tea, but after all, they are the heads of the civil ministers, even if they are anxious like turning the river and the sea, on the surface, they still look light and light, as if they are nothing.

With little effort, Concubine Xue led Tang Shuyi and appeared in front of her.

"The ministers knock on the concubine Niangniang, and the mother is blessed." The four ministers of the cabinet, headed by Wei Renpu, stood up and bowed down in front of Concubine Xue.

"Excuse me, you are the ministers of the state, why do you need to be so polite?" Concubine Xue is no longer the concubine of the Li family who needed to see Cao's face back then, and she has an indescribable majesty when she raises her hands and feet.

After sitting down again, Wei Renpu glanced at Tang Shuyi without a trace, and muttered in his heart.

At this juncture, Concubine Xue actually led Tang Shuyi out to meet the prime ministers, did she want Li Zhongyi's eldest son Li Jiyi to take over the position of supervising the country?

Liu Jinshan's heart slammed suddenly, he had long heard that among Li Zhongyi's women, Concubine Xue favored Tang Shuyi the most, who would have thought that she was so important?

As soon as Kong Kun saw Tang Shuyi, he was not angry, if it was not for Tang Shuyi's approval, how could his only daughter Kong Daiyao be relegated to the Huanyi Courtyard and suffer that kind of great suffering?

Regarding those things in the back house of the old Li family, because Li Qiniang often writes to her, Li Qiong is the one who knows the most about Xiangmimian.

Could it be that Concubine Xue has made up her mind and plans to set up Tang Shuyi's son as a prisoner?

The situation at the scene, Li Qiong couldn't help but think about it too much, after all, his granddaughter Li Qiniang was the most favored concubine before, and there was no one.
