At the beginning of last year, Yang Wei, Su Fengji, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, Wang Zhang, and Su Yuqi made a heavy oath in front of Liu Zhiyuan's sickbed to support the Han Dynasty. Among these people, Yang Wei and Su Fengji are the governors, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, Wang Zhang, and Su Yuqi are in charge of military power, financial power, and criminal name, respectively, but these six people have contradictions, when Liu Zhiyuan was there, these six people had some small contradictions and conflicts in private, for example, when Liu Zhiyuan's relatives conquered Du Chongwei, the then Tongping Zhangshi and Su Fengji, the secretary of the ministry, had insulted the deputy privy envoy Guo Wei by drunkenness, but Guo Wei was a big person and could endure a little, so this contradiction did not intensify.

Liu Zhiyuan's reuse of these six people can't be said that Liu Zhiyuan doesn't have a human vision, after all, he can be the emperor, it all depends on these six people, but these six people each have their own problems. The six auxiliary ministers are divided into two factions, Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei are one faction, Su Fengji is one faction, Su Yuqi is sandwiched in the middle, emotionally speaking, a little inclined to Su Fengji.

Liu Zhiyuan's privy envoy, Liu Chengyou's prime minister Yang Wei (Ping Zhangshi), he was a native of Weizhou, followed Liu Zhiyuan when he was young, and after becoming the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he drastically reformed the officials of Zhongshu Province (the body that issued administrative orders) (mainly when Su Fengji was the prime minister). In the past, there were too many officials appointed in Zhongshu Province, and it was too chaotic, often there were several people in an official position, and they passed the buck to each other. He pays special attention to the details of his work, and the rules and regulations are complicated and verbose, such as pedestrians and businessmen, who must have a certificate from the government when they go out, otherwise they will be imprisoned, for example, after the officials have taken office, they must leave immediately, and they cannot stay in the same place. He also often said: "As a country, as long as it can achieve abundant stocks and strong soldiers and horses, it is fine, as for articles and music, those are all false things, and there is no need to do it at all." In other words, this guy only attaches importance to taxation and only grasps economic construction, and does not have enough understanding of the scientific exhibition concept of "grasping with both hands and being firm with both hands", which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil and bureaucratic system against him.

This is not enough, after all, in the five dynasties, the world was in turmoil, and those who were in full swing in the construction of spiritual civilization did not end well (such as Meng Chang in Houshu and Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty), Yang Wei attached importance to these real things such as "money, food and weapons", and it cannot be said that it was wrong, after all, the Han Dynasty fought for years since its establishment, and money was used everywhere.

Unfortunately, his biggest problem is the double standard of employing people. For example, when rumors spread in the second year of Qianyou, Shi Hongzhao, the "garrison commander" of Bianjing, engaged in white terror in Bianjing, creating a large number of false and wrongly decided cases, and the officials and ordinary people only dared to look at each other on the street and did not dare to speak; But when it came to Yang Wei's side, Yang Wei only said good things about Shi Hongzhao, and always praised Shi Hongzhao in front of the emperor, and he quickly approved the officials recommended by Shi Hongzhao; But on the other hand, the queen mother's younger brother Li Ye wanted to be the official of Xuanhui, and begged the queen mother and the emperor many times, but the queen mother and the emperor couldn't stand it, so they agreed to this request, but Yang Wei thought that the promotion of this official should have a system, Li Ye had no merits, and should not be promoted so quickly, so the matter was stopped; There is also Liu Chengyou likes one of his concubines Mrs. Geng very much, and wants her to be the queen, so he asked Yang Wei, the old uncle, to discuss, this Yang Wei is also quite interesting, he refused, the reason is that Mrs. Geng has become a queen, and she has risen too fast (historical records: Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty loved Mrs. Geng, and wanted to be the queen, and he thought it was too much). Later, Mrs. Geng died (she didn't survive when she died), Liu Chengyou was a little unhappy, so he wanted to be buried with the queen's etiquette, but Yang Wei disagreed, saying that it was a trespass. Liu Chengyou didn't say anything on his face, I'm afraid that he would be a little worried in his heart, after all, this is the emperor's family matter. Later, some of Liu Chengyou's friends during the princely period, such as Guo Yunming, Hou Zan, Nie Wenjin and others, were also suppressed by Yang Wei.

Yang Wei hasn't read for a few days, but Su Fengji claims to be a reader, but unfortunately, he is not as good as Yang Wei. When Liu Zhiyuan was guarding Hedong, Yang Wei and Shi Hongzhao were all talents who were in charge of their own affairs, but Su Fengji was only the secretary next to Liu Zhiyuan, but Su Fengji figured out Liu Zhiyuan's mind quite well, and most of the things could satisfy Liu Zhiyuan's mind, plus Liu Zhiyuan was more serious, not smiling, and his subordinates were all afraid of him, if there was anything bad, these people would find a way to ease it through Su Fengji, so Su Fengji quickly gained a firm foothold in the Hedong regime.

Su Fengji is talented, but he has no experience in governance, he is not like Yang Wei who followed Liu Zhiyuan from the grassroots level to the position of prime minister, Su Fengji is the son of a friend of Liu Zhiyuan, and immediately became Liu Zhiyuan's secretary after his debut, and after two years, Liu Zhiyuan became the emperor, this Su Fengji (and Su Yuyuan) was successfully in charge of Zhongshu Province (Yang Wei at this time was a privy envoy), this guy has no experience in grassroots work, and he does things according to his own ideas, and the efficiency is quite high, There is no procrastination in national politics, but in this matter, some things are appropriate, and some things are inappropriate. Due to the lack of proficiency in business, most of the orders issued by Su Fengji violated the original system (he also said that Guo Wei's appointment as a privy envoy was not in accordance with the system), or appointed or abandoned, or promoted or demoted, all of them were arbitrary, and even some people entered the official career from Bai Ding, and some unpopular officials could also be appointed as county officials. But because Liu Zhiyuan trusted Su Fengji very much, no one dared to persuade him. Su Fengjihu is a fake tiger, and he is even more unscrupulous in doing things, he is particularly greedy for money, as long as someone sends money, and the amount of money is enough, he can sell his official position.

Originally, Yang Wei became a privy envoy, and this Pingzhang matter should be based on seniority and ability, and it should also be Wang Zhang. However, Liu Zhiyuan was alive, and gave Wang Zhang a fat difference of three envoys, Yang Wei and others looked at Su Fengji Although it was not pleasing to the eye, they did not take the initiative to stir up trouble.

Su Fengji's reign can be said to be a disaster in the Central Plains, this guy is a wolf in human skin, although he is a scholar, but he loves to kill more than Shi Hongzhao! In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the world was turbulent and there were many thieves. Su Fengji personally drafted the edict: "There should be thieves, and their own family and neighbors should be guaranteed by the same person, and the whole clan should be beheaded!" This means that all the thieves, his own family, his neighbors, and his whole people, and the landlords, will be put to death. This trick is too ruthless, being a robber will affect the whole clan. He also sent thieves and envoys everywhere, among which Zhang Lingrou, the thief envoy in Chengzhou, was the most ruthless, killing the people of 17 villages in Pingyin County.

Before his death, Lao Liu pointed out six auxiliary ministers (Dou Guzhen and Feng Dao were all old ministers of the previous dynasty, famous, but unfortunately not his own people), and also asked everyone to unite tightly around Liu Chengyou, but Lao Liu except for Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei, the rest of the four people, he did not specify who should do what. As soon as Lao Liu died, and the edict on personnel appointment had not yet come down, Su Fengji hinted that another minister, Li Tao (and his relative), played a performance, asked Liu Chengyou, and persuaded Liu Chengyou to change the edict to let Yang Wei and Guo Wei stand aside and go to Bianjing to be envoys. After Yang Wei learned the news, he immediately cried and went to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in tears, the Queen Mother Li is not a confused person, who Li Tao is, she doesn't know at all, and it is not necessary to use acquaintances to employ people, this Yang Wei and Guo Wei have been with Liu Zhiyuan for twenty or thirty years. Under the intervention of the Queen Mother, Liu Chengyou thundered and let Li Tao roll up and get out. Yang Wei was appointed as the prime minister and in charge of Zhongshu Province, as soon as Yang Wei arrived in Zhongshu Province, Su Fengji completely stood aside. Yang Wei has long been dissatisfied with Su Fengji's nonsense, he immediately changed Su Fengji's policy, and at the same time always thinks that Su Fengji is from the province, and always thinks before doing things, unlike Su Fengji, he can do whatever he wants to do with national affairs, so that the promotion of supplementary officials and officials in various departments can be completely slowed down. Blocking the promotion of others is the most hateful, and Yang Wei has invisibly become the enemy of hundreds of officials.

After Su Fengji stepped aside, he had no real power in his hands, and his income immediately plummeted, he felt uncomfortable, seeing that Li Ye and others were dissatisfied with Yang Wei, he also deliberately stirred up trouble in it, hoping that Yang Wei would fall and he could take charge of the government again.

As for Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao, and Su Yuqi are not good birds, Wang Zhang has a hand in collecting money for the country, but he is more diligent than collecting money for the country, and the corruption is no less than Su Fengji, Su Yuqi seems to be a good man, in fact, he is extremely cunning, and he pushed the big ideas to Su Fengji, but the money is not less than Su Fengji; As for Shi Hongzhao's very strict control of the army, he is different from Guo Wei, for the army, he is upright, and he will not tolerate the mistakes of soldiers. This is Shi Hongzhao's merit.

But Shi Hongzhao is rude, and he doesn't like literati very much, he once said: "This scholar is so hateful, he calls himself Mr. and the like, and he calls us soldiers, what is he called 'pawn', this is not to underestimate us." "So, this guy never uses literati. He has always liked to use military orders to manage civil affairs, when the three towns rebelled, rumors spread in Bianjing, Shi Hongzhao supervised the forbidden army, and had the right to sentence and kill, he never asked the severity of the crime, whether there was a reason or not, as long as he heard that someone had committed a crime, he would use the death penalty, and the security in Bianjing City was too good at that time, not only the traitors and criminals escaped, but even the things that fell on the ground, no one dared to pick them up. Because Shi Hongzhao has great power, even if there is a wrong judgment, the people have nowhere to ask for help, and they dare not appeal, so the urban management troops that Shi Hongzhao took over (compared to the army, they are too unqualified) took the opportunity to engage in favoritism, threaten others, and extort money. According to historical records, one day, Taibai Star appeared in the sky during the day, and some people looked up to watch, and they were arrested by the city management, slandering him for 'looking at the sky and plotting against him', and Shi Hongzhao was sentenced to be beheaded. After there were rumors about things like this, Bianjing was basically born every day.

Since Li Shouzhen**, not only Liu Chengyou has breathed a sigh of relief, but even the Queen Mother's family has also breathed a sigh of relief. These relatives of the Queen Mother came to Liu Chengyou one after another to find Liu Chengyou in the hope of mixing an official and a half-job (the old Liu family itself is not many adults, only two or three, basically all of them are in the big town as a festival envoy), although the Queen Mother is virtuous, but it is related to her own clan, and it is not a virtuous person who can settle it. But for the appointment of these people, Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Wang Zhang and the emperor stood opposite, and the three of them were very dissatisfied with this situation. And the hot-tempered Shi Hongzhao became a pioneer, there was a son of the queen mother's deceased, who wanted to be a petty official in the army, Shi Hongzhao scolded: "The sergeant is the foundation of the country, and a person like you who is powerless and timid can only be bad when you go to the army." So, Shi Hongzhao drew his knife and killed this man.

Before Guo Wei returned to Beijing, Liu Chengyou watched a concert for the first time when he was happy, and also rewarded some gold and silver to the teaching workshop envoys, and also rewarded the musicians with some brocade robes. As a result, Shi Hongzhao was furious again: "The soldiers guarded the frontier and endured the severe cold and heat, but they did not receive a universal reward, what are you, and what credit do you have, you dare to accept such a reward!" So, Shi Hongzhao took all their brocade robes and returned them to the government. This matter passed through Li Ye's mouth and reached Liu Chengyou's ears, and it couldn't help but be a little tasteless.

In fact, although Yang Wei and others have all kinds of problems, there is no doubt about their loyalty to the Han Dynasty. And they don't have the ability to rebel, Yang Wei, Su Fengji, Wang Zhang, Su Yuju, these four people don't understand military affairs, they are all civil ministers, and they have little involvement in the army, and although Shi Hongzhao is a tiger general, unfortunately, he is too harsh, with majesty but no kindness, besides, he dislikes the scholar from the heart, and without the support of Wenchen, it is much more difficult for a military general to rebel. And Guo Wei is an outlier, but he is too good at being a man, not only the officials have a good impression of him, but even Liu Chengyou thinks that Guo Wei is very virtuous, Guo Wei's biggest problem is that his relationship with Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, and Shi Hongzhao is too hard, and he can't get rid of this situation of both prosperity and loss.

Regarding the argument between Shi Hongzhao and others and Su Fengji in the main hall, Guo Wei saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. After coming down from the main hall, Guo Wei wanted to invite Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, and Shi Hongzhao to his mansion to sit down, trying to persuade his three comrades. Before he could say this, the old minister Situ Zhengu on the side said: "It's rare for Guo Dashuai to return to Beijing today, the old man intends to invite Guo Dashuai, as well as Lord Yang, Shi Dashuai, Lord Wang, and the two Lord Su will go to have a drink together tomorrow, I don't know what you think?" ”

Dou Zhengu is similar to Feng Dao, he belongs to fossil-level figures, and the face of the old-timers is naturally to be given, so Guo Wei and the others agreed.

The next day, Guo Wei and others came to Dou Zhengu's house. Dou Zhengu is old and refined, he set up such a banquet sooner or later, presumably to create an opportunity for the two factions and give them a step down, although Yang Wei is in power, but Su Fengji is the deputy minister after all, and Su Yuqi has just replaced Dou Zhengu as the secretary of the criminal department, and they always need to cooperate with each other. Guo Wei, Su Fengji, Wang Zhang, and Yang Wei are all smart people, and this matter is clear at all. After coming to Dou Zhengu's house, they toasted each other and laughed, looking quite harmonious. They are all important ministers of the imperial court, and there is not much gossip, and they also deliberately do not talk about such a sensitive topic as personnel appointment. In this way, there are not many topics, chatting and chatting, and talking about the major event of Chu State's annexation of Li Tang, Su Fengji said a few words, this Li Tang died so quickly, and the imperial court just stood on Li Tang's side again, I am afraid that the relationship between the imperial court and Chu State may be a little problematic in the future. He said it very tactfully, but there was always a sense of accusing Yang Wei of mishandling things in and out of his words. Of course, Yang Wei refused to think that he had done wrong, and in order to make up for the relationship between the imperial court and the Chu State, this time the imperial court rewarded the world with a lot of rewards to the Chu State, and even recognized the nondescript "eight thousand years old". So, these two factions of people argued, as the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and there is a bit of a righteous dispute when they talk about it. But Yang Wei and the others finally maintained their prime minister's city government, and they didn't tear their faces immediately.

But Shi Hongzhao is a straight man, he stood up angrily, picked up the wine glass with a stern expression, and said to Guo Wei: "Yesterday, there was Brother Qu Guo Xian, and today Brother will do his best, and talk about it as a consolation." ”

This holy decree has come down, and Su Fengji is not willing to offend Guo Wei for these already factual things, so he also stood up, took the wine glass and toasted Guo Wei and said: "Yesterday Fengji was also a public discussion, not against Guo Dashuai, fortunately, don't mind!" ”

Guo Wei had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was about to say a few polite words to fool him, who knew that Shi Hongzhao rolled his eyes, and said loudly: "This calms the world and levelles the chaos, relying on spears and big swords, what's the use of a bad pen?" Can you draw a bird? Shi Hongzhao originally looked at Su Fengji unpleasantly, and he also used the topic to wave.

But this is Dou Zhengu's house, if it is really noisy, Dou Zhengu's face may not look good. Based on this psychology, Wang Zhang refuted Shi Hongzhao: "Even if there are spears and swords, if there is no such pole, where will the money, grain, and grass for the army come from?" Shi Hongzhao was silent when he heard this, Wang Zhang was his buddy, and it was nothing to say a few words to him, but the resentment in his heart was not vented. After such a fuss, several people were not in a good mood, sat for a while, and dispersed.

Although Wang Zhang's words refuted Shi Hongzhao and raised the literati from a "bad pen" to a new historical height of "pen", but when he heard these words in the ears of Su Fengji and Su Yuqi, he always felt that these words were not good. Just like a college graduate, don't look at what he usually says about how it is useless to go to college, but if you say "college is waste" in front of him, he will not say much on his face, and he will always be very awkward in his heart. Su Fengji and the others were extremely unhappy about this, and they didn't know how much saliva they spat on these three behind their backs.

Guo Wei saw this scene, his heart was also very uneasy, he caught up with the three of them, and told them about the benefits of intellectuals, but these three people obviously did not listen, just like during the Westernization Movement, you went to the mountains to find a few landlords, and desperately told them, how good it is to invest in industry, let's sell the land, run industry, industry, I'm afraid few people will listen. The personal experience of Wang Zhang and others made them unaware of the power and benefits of literati, and what they saw and heard was the bad side of literati, what intrigues, what words were spineless, and what procrastination, and it was difficult to change their views for a while. But the three of them still listened to Guo Wei's words and were ready to find another opportunity to reconcile with Su Fengji.

With such a nervous mood, Guo Wei left Bianjing and went to Yecheng to garrison!

Not long after he left, Wang Zhang, the envoy of the third division, set up a banquet in his own home, and invited Yang Wei, Su Fengji, Dou Zhengu, Shi Hongzhao, Su Yuqi, and Yan Jinqing, the envoy of the Inner Guest Province. This Yan Jinqing was also born in Hedong and followed Liu Zhiyuan into Bianjing City. This person is very active and very good at creating an atmosphere, and Wang Zhang's intention to invite him is to enliven the atmosphere at the banquet, so as not to have any embarrassing situations when the time comes. After all, let them, the characters with heads and faces, to create an atmosphere, it will definitely be a little difficult to lose face, right? Although Yan Jinqing's official position is not small, in front of Yang Wei and others, he is still a small official with the size of sesame mung beans.

Yan Jinqing also understood his mission, and after three rounds of drinking, Yan Jinqing proposed to play the drinking order. The big guys applauded, after all, they can only toast when they drink, and it is impossible to open their arms and make fists. But people who drink always like to be lively, always like to test their brainpower, and most people will not say: "Lao Tzu fought with you today, how much you drink, I will accompany you to drink." "Therefore, people who are up to the grade like to play a flower job and like this drinking order, but Shi Hongzhao can't!

This guy has always been "how much you drink, Lao Tzu will accompany you to drink, I don't believe that you can't climb if you drink!" I am always punished for drinking, others always don't drink, even if I am a wine barrel, I have to be the first to die today. People who like to drink are especially serious when it comes to drinking, and Shi Hongzhao is not a fool, of course he is not happy to be the first to die. So Yan Jinqing smiled and said, "If Shi Gong doesn't know, the next official will teach you." ”

Don't say it, Shi Hongzhao loves to learn, and he learned it with Yan Jinqing right away, but this wine order is an elegant job, I don't know what Shi Hongzhao can comprehend at this level of "lower riba person", he learned a few words clumsily, but his reaction is always slower, and sometimes he can't remember it at all, and he always has to be reminded by Yan Jinqing on the side.

This line of wine order is about improvisation, pay attention to the degree and time cooperation, every time I go to Shi Hongzhao, I get stuck, and this line of wine order is a little greasy. Su Fengji saw that Shi Hongzhao wanted Yan Jinqing to remind him every time, so he teased: "If you lose, you will only be fined two glasses of wine." As long as there is a person surnamed Yan by your side, it is nothing if you lose. ”

Whether Su Fengji's sentence is a matter of facts, or is it deliberately sarcastic, it's hard to say, and Su Fengji's character is not very good, so it's difficult to judge. However, when Shi Hongzhao heard this, he stood up and scolded "aaaxxx". Why is that? Because Shi Hongzhao has a bad background, his wife's surname is Yan, and she was originally a "escort lady" who accompanied her at the wine table. After Shi Hongzhao arrived, although he did not abandon his wife, he was very concerned about this matter, Su Fengji's words, to Shi Hongzhao's ears, meant to sarcastically mock his wife. He was furious.

But Su Fengji is a scholar after all, and reading makes his body empty, even if he wants to fight, he can't beat others. So, being scolded by Shi Hongzhao, Su Fengji just smiled and didn't care, showing that he was a high-quality talent.

This laugh made Shi Hongzhao even angrier, he turned over the table at that time, pulled out his sword, and prepared to slaughter Su Fengji. Su Fengji saw that things were not good, and he could no longer put on the posture of "he is strong, he is strong, and the bright moon shines on the river", so he ran away.

Shi Hongzhao chased after him, and scolded in his mouth: "You aaaaa, Lao Tzu killed you!" ”

At this time, Yang Wei rushed over and hugged Shi Hongzhao's thigh and said, "Brother, don't get excited. Duke Su is the prime minister of the imperial court, you killed him, what can you say in front of Your Majesty, and where does this put Your Majesty? You... You have to think about it! As he spoke, Yang Wei burst into tears.

Shi Hongzhao thought about it, helped Yang Wei up, didn't say anything, he was going to come to the horse, and he beat the horse and left. Shi Hongzhao is a big worm, fierce and fierce, no one recognizes it. Yang Wei was really afraid that Shi Hongzhao would rush over and slaughter Su Fengji. He also hurriedly rode a horse to catch up with Shi Hongzhao, and persuaded him all the way: "Brother Xian, Su Fengji is used to this stinky mouth, don't worry about such people... He said as he sent Shi Hongzhao home, and he was relieved to go back.

With such a fuss, the contradictions between Su and Yang's two parties have become incompatible.

-----

This news was soon learned by the secret agents in the Central Plains and reported to Ma Yun, who was far away in Jinling. Recently, Ma Yun has not been doing very well, Li Tang's land was occupied by the Chu State, but it is a little difficult to clean up people's hearts.
