The aftermath of this political struggle did not end so easily, and the incident of Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing breaking into the top level continued to expand this aftermath.

It seems to be just a temporary low tide.

It's as if the next peak is just around the corner.

Although now everyone doesn't want that peak to come.

But how can the struggle for power be smooth sailing?

Who would really want to have such an important power in their hands?

Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing carried the signs of the disadvantaged groups in the central Wei State, which made them feel the instinctive disgust of the people in the three states of Qingyan and Hebei, but also won the favor of the people in Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Jiangnan three states.

This is the first batch of disadvantaged people who have gained a foothold in the power center of Wei after Guo Peng ascended the throne.

Xuzhou people are already weak, Mizhu businessmen are not seen by Xuzhou scholars at all, it is easy to come out of a Lusu, everyone is still happy like something.

Many people in Yuzhou followed Yuan Shao during the war, and many were killed by Guo Peng during the war.

Therefore, although Guo Peng's ancestral home is Yuzhou, he has never liked the scholars of Yuzhou, and the only one who is good is Xun Yu, after Xun Yu's death, the scholars of Yuzhou are in a slump and fall into the marginal group.

Today, Xun You, the representative of the Yuzhou scholars, is a standard lonely minister.

It also belongs to the Central Plains, but the people of Yuzhou are as miserable as the marginal groups in the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how you look at it, they are very unlucky.

But now, things have changed.

Guo Peng issued an edict asking Xu Jing and Zhang Zhao to join forces to select officials to supplement the officials who were previously lacking due to political struggles, and Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing unceremoniously filled in a large number of Xuzhou and Yuzhou officials.

Even with it, he also filled in a lot of officials from the three states in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Cheng Yu and Cui Yan were unlucky, they were also unlucky with two officials and two waiters from the Ministry of Rites, one of the waiters from the Ministry of Works, and one from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing promoted two Xuzhou people, two Yuzhou people, one Yangzhou person and one Yizhou person into these departments to serve as officials at the level of waiters, in order to replace the original positions monopolized by people from the three states of Qinghai, Yanji and Hebei.

In less than ten days, Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing selected more than 50 officials from disadvantaged areas to enter Shangshutai in accordance with Guo Peng's holy decree.

He also promoted more than 50 officials from disadvantaged areas who had previously served in Shangshutai.

As a result, the composition of Shangshutai's officials has undergone a major change, and the number of officials from disadvantaged areas has more than doubled in one go.

That's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that under the auspices of Zhang Zhao and Xu Jing, more than a dozen people entered major departments to hold positions of real power, taking over key positions that were completely controlled by people from the three states of Qingdao, Yanji and Hebei, which changed the political ecology in Shangshutai.

The power of officials from the weaker regions, or the later conquered areas, began to rise.

It is no longer like in the past few years, which has been suppressed by scholars from the three states of Qingyan and Hebei, and they can't even breathe, and if they want to be high-ranking officials, they still have to be in the locality, and it is difficult to get to the central government.

If you don't hold power in the central government, how can you really stand in the Wei Empire under the centralized system?

Officials from disadvantaged areas have worked hard to achieve this, but unfortunately they have achieved little success and have not been able to make any waves.

And now, they have finally made waves.

Joining Guo Wei Group in the later period, he didn't have time to make much contribution to Guo Peng, Guo Peng ascended the throne and became the emperor, so the first big feudal vassals after the founding of the country naturally did not have their share.

And now, how can they not feel happy and excited about the power core of Shangshutai, who have come from behind and come to the top with all their hardships and hardships?

After being promoted from a clerk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhuge Jin's mood was very good, and he was very happy.

Zhuge Jin has the identity of Guo's former official.

This will provide him with a convenience in politics, a convenience that can be regarded as a back-up, as a former official of the Guo family, he himself has the qualifications to become a high-ranking official.

But when this qualification will be honored is not certain.

The people are divided into 369 and 369 and other official groups, and the top level of the official group - the Guo family is of course also divided into 369 and so on.

The Guo family's former officials who followed Guo Peng first were the top group of people, and Zhuge Jin, who later took refuge, was also Guo's former officials.

However, because he was born in a disadvantaged area, he was also regarded as a latecomer within the Guo family's former official group, and was suppressed and despised by the Guo family's former officials from the Qingyan and Hebei states.

Of course, the top political resources are selected by them first, and then they can take turns to get these Guo family officials from disadvantaged areas.

In the past few years of officialdom, Zhuge Jin has also experienced the suppression and depression brought about by this kind of three-six-nine and so on several times.

It was his request to enter Shangshutai, and when Guo Peng was not yet emperor, he entered the predecessor of Shangshutai and worked under Cheng Yu, which was personally ordered by Guo Peng.

However, after Guo Peng became emperor, he had the advantage of several years of work experience, but he failed to enter the first-line power echelon of Shangshutai.

After he was assigned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shangshu and Shilang didn't have his share, and he didn't even get the staff of the subdivision department in charge of the eight departments, so he could only go to the back row.

In the end, Zhuge Jin was ranked as the deputy of the outsider.

Just because he was born in Xuzhou, he is only a small position in the [big family] of the Guo family and his relatives.

But he is also a Luoyang Jingguan, a central official.

Those officials from disadvantaged areas who were not Guo's former officials could not even get the official position of Beijing official in Luoyang, and could not enjoy Luoyang's convenient living conditions and superior political resources.

Even the Gyeonggi region can't get official positions, and the remote areas are full of these people working as officials.

This made Zhuge Jin very depressed for a while.

How else to say that people are more popular than dead people?

Cui Qu, the main offender in the Cui Qu case, is younger than Zhuge Jin, but because of the relationship between Cui Yan and Tian Feng, the Cui family, who are not Guo officials, is also taken care of by the Tian family.

borrowed the identity of half a relative to copy the shortcut, and just entered the officialdom as the deputy of the Ministry of Works, a member of the Yu Department.

When Zhuge Jin's promotion was far away, Cui Qu had already booked a good future in advance, and he could even reach into the ministry.

This made Zhuge Jin depressed for a while, and he and his brother Zhuge Liang Zhuge complained about this matter, and even had the idea of asking for a release.

I feel that even if I go out to the place, even if I am a county magistrate, I can give full play to my ambitions, and it is better than being someone else's subordinate in Shangshutai.

Just because I was born in Xuzhou!

And it's not a big family!

Zhuge Liang, who was still buried in the cabinet at that time, and Zhuge Liang, who had just joined Shangshutai as a micro-end errand boy, also had no way.

As a result, the Cui Qu case was reported at the beginning of the third year of Yande, and a large number of crony groups holding the collective of Guo's former officials were baptized by Guo Peng.

Guo Peng killed a lot of people and drove away a lot of people, Zhuge Jin was not implicated in any way, he thought that the opportunity for a counterattack came, but he didn't.

The top management has not changed, and they still vigorously promote their own people.

The people in the three states of Qingyan and Hebei have been promoted on a large scale, and Zhuge Jin can be regarded as having reaped the benefits, and he has successfully become a foreigner, which is not nothing.

Despite this, it is also far from Zhuge Jin's own vision.

Judging from his qualifications and merits in Shangshutai, he is not just an outsider.

Or because of the background.

Zhuge Jin hated his background extremely much, and even had the idea of changing his household registration to the three states of Qingyan and Hebei.

As a result, a year later, at the beginning of the fourth year of Yande, the political struggle between Cheng Yu Group and Tianfeng Group was completely detonated, and the two fought endlessly.

For a while, Cheng Yu was in danger, and for a while, Tian Feng was in a hurry, and the grass on the wall didn't know how to stand in line at all, and the court was in chaos.

At the critical moment, Zhuge Jin followed Zhuge Liang's advice, did nothing, said that he was sick and hid at home, and escaped a catastrophe.

But in the end, the winners were neither Tian Feng nor Cheng Yu, but Xu Jing and Zhang Zhao, who won by lying down.

No one could have imagined that Guo Peng would decisively attack the heroes, and then take back the power of the vital Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites and hand them over to officials from two disadvantaged areas.

However, this is undoubtedly a major benefit for officials from disadvantaged groups in the world.

With the aftermath of this wave of political struggle, a group of people fell into blood mold and could not be officials for the rest of their lives, and some people took advantage of the trend and won because they were born in weak areas.

Zhuge Jin was successfully promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs after this wave of struggle, and became a high-ranking official at the deputy ministry level.

When he first learned the news, Zhuge Jin hadn't reacted yet, thinking it was an auditory hallucination.

But it was only when the official who had come to read the appointing instrument spoke again about the matter and asked him to receive the decree of thanksgiving.

It's true, it's not fake, it's not a dream!

It is a miracle that he has really become a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level, and he has crossed that gap that is difficult to cross.

After this incident, Zhuge Jin deeply realized what it means to lose his horse and know whether it is a blessing, and the identity of the Xuzhou people he once hated has brought him a reward at this moment.

There are many people like Zhuge Jin, and Lin Lin finally has more than a hundred people.

In this regard, in Shangshutai, a third force that can participate in the political situation of the court is gradually formed, and Zhuge Jin is an indispensable member of it.

Years of dormant and suppressed experience made Zhuge Jin favored by Zhang Zhao, promoted Zhuge Jin, and was recognized by Guo Peng.

People from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangnan Sanzhou.

These errand boys, who were originally in an embarrassing position, have become the last group of people to profit in this wave of political struggle.

They were like a building block with an incomparably fitting shape, and they were fiercely inserted into the power center of the Wei Empire that had leaked vacancy.

The nepotism network built by the scholars of the three states of Qingyan and Hebei was ruthlessly dug out.

They could no longer maintain a comprehensive monopoly on the political resources at the top of the Wei Empire.

These disadvantaged officials feel extremely excited and glad that they can be in such a situation.

With this in mind, Zhuge Jin also threw himself into the heavy work with full emotions.

They can finally get to work with their heads held high.

Moreover, the officials of the Cheng Yu Group and the Tianfeng Group who were attacked were relatively depressed for a period of time, and their style of acting was cautious and very cautious.

and the bold and enterprising weak officials who want to express themselves have two completely different spirits.

Watching the colleagues around him continue to forge ahead and feel a beautiful future that he can aspire to, Zhuge Jin is very happy.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin felt incomprehensible about Zhuge Liang's idea of hoping to get a chance to be released.

"Kong Ming, can you tell Brother Wei why this is?"
