At night, the door of the workshop was closed, and the people who joined in the excitement went home. But there are some people who are busy.

Above the court, there are many factions. But if it is said to be the climate, there are generally two groups of people, the military nobles of Guanlong and the gate lords of the scholar clan. Coupled with some neutral people, such as Tang Jian, Li Jing, Li Ji and other important ministers who do not rely on both sides and no one dares to provoke, they form a stable 'triangle', which makes the court seem stable. The forces of the Hanmen are only a few people, and they are almost negligible.

The two major forces of the Guanlong military aristocracy and the scholar clan gate lord can be subdivided into four parts. Among them, most of the military aristocrats of Guanlong were heroes who started from the dragon, but after the Xuanwumen Change, the 'upstarts' who supported Li Shimin came to the forefront, and most of the wavering people lost their momentum and withdrew from the court. The same is true for the Shi clan gate valve, those who actively approached Li Shimin, such as Wang Qi, Kong Yingda and others, have been reused, while the Shandong Shi clan, because Li Jiancheng was killed, no longer entered the office, and lost most of the power in the court. When Li Shimin ascended the throne, he didn't leave any hands behind, and almost all of them were cleaned up, otherwise the Shandong scholars would not have pinned their hopes on Wei Zheng at that time.

Although both sides later gave the steps, the Shandong scholars did not mention the saying that they could not enter the ranks, and Li Shimin also gave them a chance, but there were already people in important positions in the court, and no one would let them out, and it was difficult to climb to the sky if they wanted to insert one. Therefore, even if it is a gate valve like Boling Cui's family, Cui Wensheng, the eldest son of the valve owner, is just a position in the Ministry of Officials, and he was degraded because of Cui Yuyan's affairs, and now he is just an outsider.

Each of these forces has its own representatives.

In the Guanlong Group, since the 'new upstart' took the stage, the 'old noble' no longer cares about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, so there is only one person in charge of the Guanlong Group, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji. On the side of the gate lord clan, those who are far away from Li Shimin are mainly Shandong scholars who are not in the court, headed by Wei Zheng. When encountering major events, first look at the wind direction of the Taiyuan Wang family, after all, Wang Qi is now a servant, and he is the largest official on the side of the gate lord clan.

And the military generals are mostly out of the way, after all, the soldiers are forbidden. It is too taboo, and most of the generals do not take a stand, but because of Li Jing's prestige in the army, if Li Jing expresses his position, it is usually equivalent to the statement of the military generals. It's just that so far, Li Jing hasn't said anything.

Now the main figures of the various factions are gathered together.

Originally, today's court discussion was not enough to start such a big battle. But then when the Taiji Hall was deliberating, Li Mu ...... to Wei Zheng It's not an exaggeration to describe it as scolding, but on the contrary, everything he said is true, and he can't deny it if he wants to. Before, everyone didn't think that after listening to Li Mu's words, many people really got to know Wei Zheng again, and the famous Duke Wei turned out to be such a villain.

The villain belongs to the villain, and the matter still has to be solved. No matter how villain Wei Zheng is, he is also the representative of the Shandong scholar clan in the court, famous, not to be humiliated, although Li Mu is always unexpected, but in the eyes of the people who really control the power, he is just a child, therefore, when the prime ministers and the scholars leave the Taiji Palace, everyone's tacit understanding is that they can punish Li Mu with a small punishment to save Wei Zheng's face, after all, the court is still peaceful now, and all forces do not want to start a war easily, Wei Zheng represents the Shandong Shi clan, and he also wants to give a step.

But what happened next made everyone no longer able to treat Li Mu as a child.

Li Mu actually smashed the wall of Dali Temple, broke in and killed Zhao Yuanlang!

During the court discussion, Li Mu said that he would kill Zhao Yuanlang, and he would never die. Although when he said it, his eyes were red and he looked scary, but in the court of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was a Wenchen, most of them were military generals, and there was turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who had not killed a few people, who had not stained their hands with blood, and few people took a child's angry words seriously.

Who would have thought that Li Mu would be so strong. If you say you kill, you will kill people, and you will not take them overnight. Li Shimin took back his will, so he did it himself, smashed the wall and killed people, and after the killing, he didn't run away, and just squatted in prison and didn't come out. This style of acting, where is it like a child, more like a ranger. Twenty years ago, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a famous bearded guest in the rivers and lakes, and he also did similar things, the slight difference is that Li Mu killed people because of the word 'filial piety', while the bearded guest killed people because of the word 'righteousness'.

But in this way, things can be big.

If it was just a matter between Li Mu and Wei Zheng, and the forces of all parties mediated, Li Mu was a junior after all, and he would not be too embarrassed if he was soft and given a step, and Wei Zheng would not be too embarrassed to take care of the overall situation. But now Li Mu has committed the crime of murder, and it is Yushi who killed him, and smashed the wall of Dali Temple, which is the way to die, and Wei Zheng learned the news that he would inevitably kill him.

Although the Shandong Shi clan has a weak influence in the court, there are no manpower in the three provinces and six departments, but in the Yushitai, there are many people in the Shandong Shi clan. Shandong scholars have been inherited for thousands of years, mastered a large number of books, and cultivated countless great Confucians, these great Confucian protégés are all over the world, although the imperial history is mostly poor, but since they can become the imperial history, they must have also worshiped the teacher, and learned the scriptures and articles. This master-apprentice relationship is one of the strongest feelings. And although the Shandong scholars claimed not to enter the government, they didn't want to completely give up the power of the court, and secretly cultivated a lot of cold families behind their backs.

This time it was the imperial history that died, just like stabbing a hornet's nest, and it can be imagined that when the court meeting tomorrow, how many imperial histories will jump out.

Wang Jue's family also gathered a lot of people, they are all from the Taiyuan Wang family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Qinghe Cui family or the people who are attached to their small gate valve family, five surnames and seven wangs, three of them here, and Wei Zheng's side is also three, as for the Longxi Li family is the royal family, they have always been transcendent from the world and do not mix with the affairs of the court.

These three families are not as closely related as the so-called 'Shandong Shi clan', and they will only meet when there is a big event. Today is a big event, so we are gathered together. Most of the people were received by Wang Pu and spoke in the lobby, while the principals of the three families came to Wang Jue's study.

The representative of the Li clan of Zhao County is called Li Ying, and he was the first to speak, complaining in a complaining tone, and said to Wang Jue: "Brother, what you have done today is a little inauthentic, Your Majesty's move is clearly weakening the gate valve, how can you support it?" I think it's because the coal and stone in Taiyuan are now useful, and when you see the benefits, brother, you forget about the covenant. ”

Wang Jue was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at the representative of the Qinghe Cui clan. This is also Mrs. Cheng's uncle, a generation older than Mrs. Cheng and Wang Ou's husband, named Cui Yongren. The younger generation of the Cui family has no talents, he is one of the leaders of the previous generation, he has been in charge of the affairs of the Qinghe Cui family in Chang'an, and he was also in the crowd on the day the Ministry of Industry moved to the government.

"What do you think?"

Cui Yongren smiled and said, "Qinghe Cui Clan, protect Li Mu!" ”

The people of the Li clan of Zhaojun were startled and hurriedly said, "Why! ”

"Don't hide it. The day before yesterday, I went to Cheng's Mansion and met General Cheng. What he means is that if he wants to open another horse farm in Luoyang, the eastern capital, I, Qinghe, will have some members. You also know that the affairs of the horse farm are indispensable to the pursuit of the deer marquis, so I, Qinghe Cui, will do my best to protect him. ”

Wang Jue listened, looked at Li Ying, and said: "This is also the attitude of my Taiyuan Wang, the benefits of coal and stone far exceed the losses of other minerals, my Taiyuan Wang's location is favorable, why don't you support it?" If there is no Li Mu, it will definitely not be implemented at this time, therefore, my Taiyuan Wang family will protect Li Mu. ”

When Li Ying heard this, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "Okay, you all have benefits, you all have to support and protect!" Just put my Zhao Jun Li aside and do it, okay, well done! Leave us aside, I'll go to Wei Zheng tomorrow, and I'll be on the other side of the Li clan from now on! ”

Cui Yongren didn't speak, Wang Jue smiled and motioned for Li Ying to sit down, and said, "Why is Brother Li so angry, it's all for the sake of the family, is there anything to discuss." I'll analyze it with you, and you can listen to it. ”

"Analyze what! If you can't get the benefits, you have to hand over the mine, you and I am stupid? ”

Seeing that Li Ying was so faceless, Wang Jue also put his face down and said, "Since Brother Li said so, then I can't say anything more, but before Brother Li leaves, I have a good word to tell you." As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh, and His Majesty has already moved the idea of this matter, and it is imperative. Li Mu, you and I don't need it, Your Majesty will definitely protect it, we are just icing on the cake, if you insist on going your own way and Your Majesty is the best, let me ask you, what can you do? Do you dare to rise up, do you dare to compete with His Majesty's Tiger Ben? The Turks are still falling, what can you do? It's really that step, you know who is the one who suffers! ”

"Me!" Li Ying was robbed of a few words, and his lips trembled with anger. Since he was twenty or thirty years old, Wang Jue has had a reputation as a prime minister, and he is not a wasted person. Although he admits that his defense talent is not as good as Wei Zheng, ordinary people are really not opponents in front of him.

Li Ying hummed his luck, and after a long time, he sat down again, looked at Wang Jue and said: "Brother Wang, you can't let me Zhaojun Li Shibai contribute, the benefits of coal and stone are so huge, and I will share it." ”

Wang Jue was happy and said, "Brother Li has not forgotten the matter yet, and Brother Li is worried about it?" Besides, since it's the icing on the cake, with or without Brother Li, why should I give up the benefits I should have to share with you? Even if you want to be rewarded, you can't find me, and after Li Mu is released, you go to him to ask for favors! ”

"You, you ......" Li Ying was so stunned that he had no temper at all, sighed, and said: "Okay, who let us not have as many ways as you, after the matter is completed, help me pull a line, this is always okay!" ”

Wang Qi and Cui Yongren both laughed and agreed.
