Chapter 405: Reversal of the situation
Li Zhongyi coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Cardinal Envoy Wang is a person who knows the soldiers, and his knowledge is limited, but he doesn't dare to speak up. β
The Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall are vying for power and profit, and no matter which aspect wins, Li Zhongyi, the supernumerary vice minister, will not be able to get the greatest benefits.
Instead of being a gunman, it is better to choose to hide clumsy!
Regarding the olive branch thrown by Fan Zhen, Li Zhongyi could only say silently, I'm sorry, I don't want to lose face, just the actual inside.
Li Zhongyi made it clear that he did not want to get involved in the political dispute between the two governments, Wang Pu hurriedly reciprocated Li, he said with a smile: "Before Li joined politics as the ruler, he was a commander who was always victorious and undefeated, and he must be extremely proficient in military affairs, please give me more advice." β
"Wang Shuxiang is too polite. The expedition to Goryeo in the east and the party in the west all relied on His Majesty's grand plan, and they dared to take credit in Xia'an? "Li Zhongyi is not a vegetarian, he plays Tai Chi, tiger and tiger, people have nothing to say.
Although Chai Rong is not in the capital division, it is impossible to stay behind to monitor the eyes and ears of the important ministers.
Li Zhongyi had already made up his mind, he only had a firm grasp of Yulin's right guard, and ignored other affairs.
Having said that, when Chai Rong was in Beijing, Li Zhongyi could still do something out of the ordinary. It's just that now that Isaugami has left Beijing, whoever dares to come out first will definitely be shot out of the head.
Wei Renpu's temperament is not as old and spicy as Fan Qian, he glared at Wang Pu angrily, and said in a choked voice: "The reason that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first is simple." It's just that the old man doesn't know something, is there too much requisition of people's husbands? In case, trigger a popular uprising. The army is outside, who will suppress it? β
Li Zhongyi hung his head. Thinking to himself, Wei Renpu finally found a good excuse.
The big hat of the people's uprising. But it's terrible, enough to scare the courage of ordinary people.
However, Wang Pu, who had been the prime minister, was not a vegetarian, and he immediately retorted: "Xianggong Wei, if the soldiers in front of you don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes, aren't you afraid of provoking a mutiny?" β
Hey. The heads of the two governments, the tip of the needle on the bar of Mai Mang, Li Zhongyi leaned back on the chair leisurely, squinted his eyes and waited to watch the play.
When it comes to the issue of the authority of the political affairs hall, Li Gu, who has always been at odds with Wei Renpu, must also take into account the overall situation, and he took the initiative to stand up and say: "After three years of Xiande, Hebei Prefectures will increase the grain storage by more than 100,000 stone every year. So far, I am afraid that it has exceeded 500,000 stones, enough for the army to eat outside for half a year. β
Wang Pu sneered and said, "It depends on the storage of the Xiaoyaojin Bazaar." Grain stocks in Hebei prefectures have indeed increased significantly. However, the contemptible people heard that some unscrupulous magistrates. He had the audacity to exchange old rice for new grain, and he was up and down. Wantonly hollowing out the granary of the country, it really deserves to be killed! β
Li Gu was choked and his face was red and his neck was thick. Although Wang Pu did not say it explicitly, everyone present knew it very well.
Li Gu's protΓ©gΓ©, Guo Tianming, the assassin of Cangzhou, was taken back to Beijing for questioning because of reselling military rations.
Li Zhongyi wanted to laugh in his heart, power is really a good thing, it is easy to make people charmed.
After Wang Pu was demoted from the political hall by Chai Rong, as long as the court did not go to war, the authority of his privy envoy was much smaller than before.
Although the Privy Council has the right to transfer troops, Chai Rong's attention to and absolute control of the forbidden army has substantially usurped Wang Pu's real power.
In addition, although the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, all matters related to conquest, such as money, food, people, and weapons, need to be approved by the government council.
Therefore, Wang Pu, the privy envoy, has always done it tastelessly, like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and reluctant to abandon it.
This time, Li Zhongyi did not decisively stand on Fan Qian's side, and also had a careful little calculation.
Chai Rong's Northern Expedition is likely to go out vertically and return to Kaifeng horizontally.
Then, although the ministers of the political hall are powerful, the mobilization of soldiers and generals requires the close cooperation of the Privy Council.
To squeeze the gun in the palm of his hand, Li Zhongyi would rather offend Fan Zhen fiercely, and it is impossible to take the initiative to go against Wang Pu.
As long as he didn't die today, even if Wang Pu and Zhao Lao Er had an ulterior relationship, Li Zhongyi also decided to be a good friend with him.
The ministers of the government hall have gone into battle, and the deputy envoys of the Privy Council are not fuel-efficient lamps.
If the political hall wants to seize power, even the country's conquest power has to be taken over, which is simply too deceitful!
For a time, in the political hall, it was like a vegetable market, you came and went, talking and talking, and the rulers of the two governments were fighting and pinching their faces and ears, and they couldn't get along.
Li Zhongyi, who has been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, always lowered his head, played with the tea cup in his palm, and drank two sips of tea brewed by Yang Jiong from time to time.
Since the last time he ate Li Zhongyi's stuffy loss, Yang Jiong has also learned to be obedient, and he doesn't dare to add ginger, salt, garlic and other things to the group tea.
"Since the views of the princes of the two governments are different, then we can only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a holy judgment." Fan Zhen couldn't suppress Wang Pu, who was full of power, so he could only hand over the contradictions and use the woman Fu Guifei to make a fuss.
Li Zhongyi just put down the tea cup in his hand, but saw that everyone's eyes were on him.
Well, that's right, the opinions of the two governments are not consistent, so don't they have to submit it to Chai Zongxun?
Chai Zongxun is still a seven-year-old baby, and he doesn't understand anything, so it's the turn of Concubine Fu to appear!
Xiao Fu Guifei, although she was born in the first family of relatives in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Fu family of the Wei Palace, after all, she is a woman in the deep palace, what does she know about military affairs and government affairs?
Wei Renpu glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was as steady as Mount Tai, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the kid surnamed Li did not fight for power on the surface. In fact, Li Zhongyi may have already calculated, he, the prince's teacher who is proficient in military and government affairs, even if he does not fight for anything, his right to speak is definitely not small.
Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's superb medical skills, Chai Zongxun would not only not be able to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, but would most likely die.
This favor alone is so heavy that it scares people to death, how could the Fu family of the Wei Wangfu Mansion and the little Fu Guifei snub Li Zhongyi, the crown prince Shaobao?
Li Zhongyi noticed that Wei Renpu's eyes had been staring at him, but. He didn't want to say anything.
Since, all the ministers in the political hall. Don't want to share power with him, then. I can only ride a donkey to read the record book, and walk slowly and see!
According to Chai Rong's holy will, if the rulers of the two provinces reach a consensus, Xiao Fu Guifei and Chai Zongxun are here, but they are just confirmed with seals.
But the problem is that the government wants to usurp the real power of the Privy Council. Wang Pu didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to re-enter the political hall in the future, which turned into a situation where the two governments were deadlocked.
The rulers led by Fan Zhen. According to their respective ranks and ranks, they lined up to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.
The crown prince Chai Zongxun is just a little baby, in fact, everyone is going to see Concubine Fu.
As soon as the rulers of the two provinces arrived at the gate of the Funing Palace, they were led into the palace by the chamberlain.
In the main hall, the crown prince Chai Zongxun sat on the left side of the small case, and the little concubine Fu Guifei sat on his right side.
"Wait for the minister, see Niangniang. See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The two governments, headed by Fan Qian, bowed down one after another.
In the Great Zhou Empire, the authority of the two governments was very heavy, and when they faced the king. Not only are there seats, but there is no need to bow down.
"Fan Xianggong, and all of you. Hard-working state affairs have been hard. Chai Zongxun pretended to be an adult with a milky voice. It's also decent, and it looks decent.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Fan quality this prime minister. On behalf of the two governments, he expressed his gratitude to Chai Zongxun for his greetings.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the military situation ahead is tight, and there is an urgent need to replenish grain and grass...... After the courteous passing was gone, Fan Zhen reported the dispute between the two mansions to Chai Zongxun in its original form.
Although Fan Zhen kept looking at Chai Zongxun, in fact, his words were all for Concubine Fu Guifei.
Before Fan Zhen finished speaking, Wang Pu actually grabbed the conversation and said sharply: "The military situation is urgent, we must immediately recruit and send people to support the soldiers in front." β
The prime minister of the political hall and the prime minister of the Privy Council actually had a dispute in public, and Concubine Fu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
How long has His Majesty been away from Beijing, and the two governments are actually fighting each other, is it good to do it?
Li Zhongyi still lowered his head, whether it was the East Mansion overpowering the West Mansion, or the West Wind blowing the East Wind, the Ping Zhangshi of the Zhongshu Sect, or the privy envoy, he would definitely have nothing to do with him in the short term.
There are no benefits and benefits, who loves to do it, who does it well, and what does he have to do with Li?
After the important ministers of the two governments expressed their opinions, Li Zhongyi still kept his mouth shut and stood silently behind Wang Pu, silently, without saying a word.
Concubine Fu has no experience in governing at all, and in the face of the chaotic quarrel situation, she simply doesn't know what to do!
At this moment, a voice full of childishness suddenly sounded in the air of the main hall, "Sir, what do you think?" β
Wei Renpu looked up in surprise and looked at the source of the voice, but saw that Chai Zongxun suddenly stood up from his chair and ran towards Li Zhongyi quickly.
"Oh, hey, my prince, no, no, never." The attendant who served Chai Zongxun closely, was frightened by the master's astonishing behavior, his lips turned black, and his legs and stomach turned straight.
"Sixth brother, you ...... Come back soon......" Concubine Fu broke out in a cold sweat and immediately spoke out, wanting to stop Chai Zongxun's reckless behavior.
It's a pity that although Chai Zongxun's legs are short, his running speed is not slow, and he has already rushed in front of Li Zhongyi in three steps and two feet.
Li Zhongyi was caught off guard, and was actually grabbed by Chai Zongxun's right hand, good guy, it's a big trouble!
Chai Zongxun looked up at Li Zhongyi, his eyes were clear and he could see the bottom, and his admiration was full of overflowing eyes.
"If it weren't for Mr., Xiao Liu would have gone underground to meet the emperor a long time ago." As soon as Chai Zongxun said this, the sound of gasping was heard all over the hall, and the echo was lingering, which was endlessly evocative.
Concubine Fu was extremely shocked at first, but later, she thought about it carefully, Her Majesty was not in the capital, and the rulers of the two mansions were really making trouble.
Who can they rely on? Concubine Xiao Fu thought about it, except for Li Zhongyi, the son's savior, even Prime Minister Fan Zhen couldn't be fully trusted.
"Sir, if someone wants to bully our mother and son, you will definitely help us, right?" Chai Zongxun's milky voice frightened all the two mansion deacons in the hall! (To be continued......)
