"Li Zhongyi participated in the political affairs system, and his subordinates: Hongsan and the same merit, descended to Gaoli in Haidong, expanded the land of thousands of miles west of the river, and obtained the source of war horses because of Hanji. He must be a minister of his life to assist the king's business. Push the loyalty and conspiracy to assist the meritorious heroes, Duanming Palace, Prince Shaobao, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, the founding of Xiaoyao County, Shangzhu State, Xuzhou Mu, 10,000 households Li Zhongyi, Gong Shen Zhuang, Ye Mao Jinglun, the pure essence of the elephant weft, and the good meeting of the wind and clouds. Praise the cardinal's business, and repeatedly show his strategy...... But: Shangshu's right servant shooting, participating in the governor's political affairs, Hanlin bachelor's commitment, sending, meritorious, scattered officials, honors, and seals, all the same. Dedication is like the right, and it is carried out. On the sixth day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Xiande. ”

On the occasion of the Tang and Song dynasties, entering the political hall as a chief assistant was a great event. Even if Li Zhongyi really wants to be promoted immediately, it is impossible for him to take office happily as soon as he receives the edict.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he inherited the Tang system, and used Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Zhongshu Shilang, Menxia Shilang or Shangshu left and right servants, and also led the Pingzhang affairs under the same Zhongshu Menxia, so that he was the real prime minister, and his authority was extremely heavy.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi, the right servant of Shangshu, is just one of the nominal leaders of Shangshu Province.

It is precisely because of the lack of the title of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhongshu Sect that Li Zhongyi, who participates in political affairs, can only be the deputy prime minister, rather than a veritable prime minister.

After three bows and three resignations, under the eyes of the officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Zhongyi received the edict of promotion and officially assumed the post of Governor and Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

After finishing the cumbersome etiquette of receiving the edict and sending away the angel by Li Zhongyi, as soon as he turned around, he saw everyone in the palace. Qi Qi bent down, his eyes downward, and no one dared to look at him directly.

Today, Li Zhongyi's status is by no means comparable to what it used to be. Participated in the governor's affairs and the prefect of Kaifeng. This is similar to the vice premier and secretary of the municipal party committee, the leader of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Congratulations on participating in politics, congratulations on participating in politics......" Under the leadership of Liu Jinshan, the officials of the entire Kaifeng Mansion bowed and saluted one after another, expressing their "sincere" respect to Li Zhongyi.

When leading. In particular, the head of the great leadership throne will be surrounded by all kinds of sycophants every day.

Among these sycophants, there must be truth and falsehood. I want everyone in the government to be of the same mind as Li Zhongyi. This is clearly wishful thinking.

Li Zhongyi didn't bother to care about whether some people in the government sincerely congratulated him, as long as these people operated according to his baton and successfully achieved his intentions, this would be enough.

After returning to the second hall, Li Zhongyi had just sat down, and before he had time to drink hot tea, he listened to Li Yunxiao's offer. "If you go back to your father, the political affairs hall will send someone over, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Li Zhongyi glanced at Liu Jinshan, who was smiling. couldn't help but sigh softly: "I have just taken office, and the vortex has rolled over." ”

Liu Jinshan touched his beard and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, the ministers of the political affairs hall, I'm afraid they want to give you a dismount, right?" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Participate in politics, participate in politics." It is enough to know, and there is no need to govern. ”

Liu Jinshan stroked his palm gently. smiled: "Dong Weng is clever, and I admire it very much." ”

The ministers of the government hall. The power at hand is extremely great, and Li Zhongyi's qualifications are so shallow that they are frightening to death, so after receiving the news, he immediately set off to board the car and go to the forbidden Dongfu.

It is customary for people at the time to call the government hall also known as the East House, and the Privy Council is called the West Mansion because of the location of the Yamen to the west, which is collectively called the two houses.

The political hall of the Great Zhou Empire has a house of people, and its officials have a knowledge system and a direct house, which is mainly responsible for drafting edicts. In addition, the directly subordinate offices of the political affairs hall also have five rooms, including Confucius, officials, households, military rites and punishments, with fifteen officials after the hall to deal with government affairs and military affairs.

The post-official of the five-room official hall is the highest-level official in the political hall, and his authority is equivalent to that of the secretary general of the political hall.

Yang Jiong, the current official of the five-room official hall, is Fan Zhen's henchman who was single-handedly promoted after he became prime minister.

It is precisely because Yang Jiong is Fan Zhen's confidant, so don't look at his low status, his name is not obvious, but his real power is amazing.

The prime minister's henchmen are at least three years older!

It is no exaggeration to say that even the important ministers of the court above the fourth rank have to be polite and kind when they see Yang Jiong, and they dare not offend at all.

Therefore, after Li Zhongyi dismounted in front of the political hall, he saw Yang Jiong coming up with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Yang Jiong actually ran outside the door to greet Li Zhongyi, according to reasonable inference, without Fan Zhen's permission, this is simply unimaginable.

To beat a dog, you have to look at the owner, not the monk's face to see the Buddha's face!

Li Zhongyi didn't have the strength and qualifications to turn his face with Fan Qian, so when Yang Jiong walked up quickly, he asked with a smile: "What does Fan Xianggong command?" ”

Perhaps seeing that Li Zhongyi asked skillfully, Yang Jiong bowed his hand and said calmly: "Fan Xianggong is worried that he will not know the details of the hall when he participates in politics, and he may have taken the wrong path, so he specially ordered the subordinate to greet him here." ”

Hehe, it's true, there are no weak officials under the strong minister!

Li Zhongyi asked cleverly, and Yang Jiong answered without leaking, fully demonstrating his eagerness.

Is it possible to go the wrong way? In Yang Jiong's words, there are several hidden meanings, the most important one is that Fan Zhen gave Li Zhongyi a prior warning.

Don't think that you Li Zhongyi is very favored now, today's political hall is the old man in charge!

This purpose is obviously the fundamental factor for Fan Zhizhi to wait for Yang Jiong to make a special trip to deliver a message to Li Zhongyi, which is commonly known as dismounting.

When Li Zhongyi just joined the week, due to his humble position, in addition to making money, his strength was almost negligible.

Fan Zhen, as the prime minister, naturally couldn't care at that time, Li Zhongyi, who was no smaller than that, couldn't be smaller, a little shrimp.

Now, now that Li Zhongyi has been elected to the position of vice minister and is qualified to speak in the political hall, there is an unspeakable potential threat to his position of power in Fan Zhen.

Li Zhongyi used to be a middle-level bureaucrat in the circle of leaders, and he naturally understood in his heart that Fan Zhen, as the number one leader in the political hall, was most afraid of his deputies to cross the line and unscrupulously compete for power and profit.

The fortress is always breached from the inside, this truth, Li Zhongyi clearly understands, and it is impossible for Fan Zhen not to know the power of it.

Between the prime minister and the vice minister, the more fierce and cruel the fight, the more stable the imperial power, and the happier Chai Rong is, this is undoubtedly a clear reason.

Therefore, Fan Zhen arranged for his henchman Yang Jiong to intercept Li Zhongyi in front of the political affairs hall, just to test what kind of heart this new politician is.

"Participate in politics, please follow the subordinate officials to meet the prime minister." Yang Jiong is really a smart person, he deliberately omitted the surname Fan before the Xianggong, and the meaning is clear: Although the political hall is a group system, but who is the Xianggong among the Xianggong, who is the Fan Xianggong?

What's even better is that Yang Jiong also omitted the word Li before participating in politics, vaguely revealing Fan Zhen's intention to woo Li Zhongyi. (To be continued)
