Early the next morning, the news that Yulin's right guard had returned to the north bank of the Yellow River to guard had spread throughout the homes of high-ranking officials in Kaifeng City.

After Wang Pu learned the news, he sighed deeply with emotion, this matter is a foregone conclusion, then, Li Zhongyi must have secretly reached a consensus with Fan Zhen on the exchange of interests.

Li Gu, who originally planned to be a court troublemaker, shook his head again and again, Li Zhongyi is really a guy who can take advantage of loopholes, and water can be squeezed out of his bones.

The compromise between Li Zhongyi and Fan Zhen was no less than dropping a bombshell on the court of the Great Zhou Empire, which shocked the people who were about to fire at Fan Zhen and made them dizzy.

In the early morning, the courtiers came to the coffin of the first emperor Chai Rong as usual, cried loudly, and pretended to be filial sons and grandsons.

Fan Zhen led the prime ministers, who had already cried for a round, and the eight prime ministers sat in the side hall collectively, drinking tea to warm up the cold.

Ordinary ministers did not have such good treatment, they knelt in front of the coffin, raised their voices, or howled, or cried dumbly, or burst into tears, as if their father had died.

Li Zhongyi held the teacup in his hand, listening to the crying outside, he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, what do you mean by playing politics?

Playing politics is not a child's play, it must have an unexpected effect to be more shocking!

Last night, Li Zhongyi and Fan Zhen surprisingly reached a cooperation agreement, which is the real game of politics.

After verbal and verbal advice, Li Zhongyi benefited a lot, and Fan Zhen also got the "sincere friendship" of Li's people.

There is no doubt that the civilian-official group represented by Fan Zhen and the interests of Li Zhongyi, a famous marshal, are combined. It is destined to have a huge impact on the stability of the entire court situation.

Li Gu felt very uncomfortable. Frequently aim at Li Zhongyi, such a good time. actually let Li Wuyi catch it, and get a big bargain, how can it be comfortable?

There has always been a personal grudge between Wang Pu and Fan Zhen, especially when he and Fan Zhen were demoted to the Privy Council after they broke their wrists before, and he was even more angry in his heart, he glanced at Li Zhongyi's eyes. It's weird, naturally.

The old god Li Qiong was sitting on the chair, and he admired Li Zhongyi's ability to toss and turn.

Kaiping County Palace, whether it will end in one lifetime, none of Li Qiong's children and grandchildren can count on it. Only after Li Zhongyi takes power, Li Qiong's descendants can enjoy glory and wealth.

Li Qiong is indeed old. is too old to fight, but he actually lost to Lin Huzi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and in an instant, he turned the luck of the Kaiping County Palace. It's all gone.

When the first emperor was dying, he did not give a word to the palace of Kaiping County, with Li Qiong's old politician nature. How could they not know that their Li family did not have a special chance. It will be completely lost.

Only one night passed, and Li Hu's crumbling position. I actually kept it. Not only that, Li Zhongyi single-handedly pulled up the first elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yulin Right Guard, but was transferred back to the bank of the Yellow River north of the capital by Fan Qian.

Zhao Kuangyin brothers and Zhao Pu, after learning the news, couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't know what to do?

Li Zhongyi's Yulin Right Guard, which is recognized as the strongest army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is enough to shine in the war history of the Central Plains Imperial Court just because it almost completely annihilated the Khitan army.

In the Battle of Gaoping, although the Great Zhou won, in fact, it did not cut off the heads of many Khitans, but only hurt the small court of Liu Han in Jinyang.

Li Zhongyi really led a partial division of less than 20,000 people, not only sneaked up on Yuguan and Runzhou in the hinterland of the Khitans, captured the princess of the Khitans, but also broke the second elite iron cavalry of the Khitans, the Shan army.

This is also the fundamental factor that Li Zhongyi can be based on the Great Zhou Political Affairs Hall, and no one dares to gossip more, otherwise, at his age, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is very particular about seniority, who will be convinced?

Overnight, the situation took a big reversal, and Fan Zhen, who was originally attacked by Li Zhongyi, actually joined forces with Li, which was too surprising.

So much so that after hearing the news, Empress Dowager Fu urgently summoned Fan Zhen and questioned him face-to-face: "Fan Xianggong, why did you transfer Yulin's right guard back to Beijing?" ”

Fan said calmly: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Han Tong alone has almost half of the military strength of our dynasty, so you must guard against it." ”

Empress Dowager Fu didn't expect Fan Zhen to say this, and she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so she had to sulk secretly.

Fan Zhen saw Empress Dowager Fu's unhappiness, arched his hand, and explained unhurriedly: "Han Tong, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Zhongyi, the three-legged stand, the court situation will not be too turbulent." ”

Empress Dowager Fu was not stupid in the first place, but she had been locked in the deep palace and had not been exposed to too much government affairs.

Now, Empress Dowager Fu listened to Fan Zhen's in-depth analysis, and immediately realized the deep meaning, not to let a certain military general master too much military power.

"Xianggong is worthy of being the pillar of the country of Lao Chengmou, and the mourning family admires it." Empress Dowager Fu raised her chin and said softly, "Xianggong must not be too tired of state affairs, and pay more attention to his body and bones." ”

Fan Qianxin was moved for a while, and ashamed for a while, the transaction between him and Li Zhongyi was far from being as high-sounding as he said, but it coaxed the Empress Dowager Fu into a mess, how can I be at peace in my heart?

As the saying goes, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

Xiao Tianzi and Empress Dowager Fu, a pair of orphans and widows, have left strong support, how can they continue to sit firmly in this cannibalistic world?

The Fu family, a relative, was placed in the Daimyo's Mansion by Chai Rong, which was too far away from the capital to reach the whip. Most of Chai Rong's brothers only receive dry money, and they have no real power in their hands.

Fan Zhen is a civilian official, and all the reused ones are jinshi and civilian officials, and he has no descendants in his hands.

Although Han Tong is loyal, he is not treated by the Empress Dowager Fu, and Fan Zhen is also very disgusted with Han who can't be a man and is arrogant.

In recent years, Zhao Kuangyin has been jealous of Chai Rong, so before he went west, he made a trick of rising and descending secretly, putting Zhao Lao Er in mid-air, and the military power was all in the hands of Han Tong.

Last night, Fan Zhen and Li Zhongyi finally reached a compromise after a battle between them openly and secretly. The specific content is not even known to Yang Jiong, only God knows, Earth knows, Li knows, Fan knows, that's all.

In fact, Empress Dowager Fu also wanted to know what Fan Zhen and Li Zhongyi talked about last night. It's just that she still has to rely on Fan Zhen's support now, so she doesn't dare to resort to words.

Li Zhongyi learned that Fan Zhen was found by Empress Dowager Fu, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said lightly: "That's right." ”

In fact, in addition to military power, Li Zhongyi has made a lot of concessions to Fan Zhen at the political level, which can be said to be a gain and a loss.

However, on the surface, Li Zhongyi has a lot to lose. In fact, what he needs is to dismantle Empress Dowager Fu's absolute trust in Fan Zhen, and then he will make a lot of money.

Compared with Zhao Kuangyin, who has deep roots and many henchmen, Li Zhongyi, a newcomer who has little foundation, is actually the most suitable for being a good helper of Empress Dowager Fu.

It's a pity that Li Zhongyi still can't understand why Empress Dowager Fu has been very cold to him?

It's time to cry, Li Zhongyi followed the tail of the team, slowly walked out of the side hall, and saw Fu Yinyin, wearing a snow-white filial piety dress, and walked over from not far away. (To be continued......)
