Guo Shao still works in the east hall of the Jinxiang Palace, and his daily routine is to review the chapters. It was the main means of communication between the emperor and his ministers, the central and local governments at this time, and in Guo Shao's view, it was a bit like the e-mail system of a company in later generations; Of course, the efficiency of the recitals is much slower.

After he returned to Tokyo, he maintained a very regular activity, and on the first and fifteenth days of each month, he met with officials above the fifth rank in Beijing at the Jinxiang Palace; As long as it is an office day, almost in the morning I have to meet with the most important dozen civil and military officers in the east hall; Then he will deal with the recital on weekdays, or summon ministers to discuss matters.

These activities have a practical purpose. The courtiers may have selfish motives and friends, causing some injustice; But theoretically, the emperor will not have too much selfishness, the country belongs to the emperor, and the emperor is reasonably unwilling to dismantle his own platform. It was easy for the ministers to see that the emperor and the Beijing officials could go to the court every month, so they were given a channel, and if the conflict was too intense, there was a way to let the emperor know and let the emperor administer justice...... This is probably called "unimpeded speech", but it is actually very simple to do.

Therefore, Guo Shao does not think that he has done a good job in etiquette and other aspects, but he considers himself a qualified emperor.

But he wasn't always open-minded, and now he was almost swayed by the emotions of irritation! The person he is dissatisfied with in his heart is Fan Zhen.

Guo Shaoqing knows that it is not a good thing to deal with things based on subjective emotions, so he rarely uses people according to his likes and dislikes. But this time, he really had the urge to kill Fan Zhen!

Damn, he didn't fight the country, I let whoever I want to be in power! Even the privy envoy Wang Pu didn't have much to do, Fan Zhen came out and jumped a bird! The most disgusting thing is that people who seem to be loyal and good, and look like a gentleman at every turn, are actually specialized in things, and they are extremely stubborn. What are the real benefits to the imperial court of that guy who came out to stir up the storm?

Before being in the council hall, Guo Shao wanted to ask the guards to drag Fan Zhen out and cut him on the spot!

But fortunately, Guo Shao is still a little sensible, he understands that he can't do that, and even scolds Shi Yanchao to maintain Fan Zhen's face...... This is not Guo Shao's personal will.

Because, Fan Zhen was the prime minister in the previous dynasty, and any attitude of the emperor towards him would make many officials wait and see; Most of the civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were former ministers of the previous dynasty, and Guo Shao had to pay attention to his influence. Moreover, Na Fan Zhen is now the prime minister of this dynasty, and Guo Shao is undermining the authority of the imperial court by allowing his prime minister to be humiliated.

Therefore, he scolded Shi Yanchao secretly in his heart, but he expressed another gesture of duplicity.

…… At this time, Shi Yanchao's recital had already arrived in the east hall and was in front of Zuo You.

Zuo Yau and Wong Binglian were responsible for reading the contents of the movement, and then summarizing the concise outline on a yellow slip of paper and pasting it on the cover of the movement. Therefore, usually, the cabinet assistant sees the content of the chapter before the emperor.

Zuo You saw the content of the secret confession of himself in the recital, and the feeling was really indescribable.

He immediately realized the gravity of the piece.

He went to Luo Yanhuan's house to drink last night, and who knows what he said in private? This morning, however, most people did not express their attitude towards Fan Zhen's recital, but Zuo You supported Fan Zhen's proposition...... That has to make people guess what Zuo You discussed with Li Chuyun, and then Zuo You was speaking for Li Chuyun this morning.

And why does Li Chuyun support Fan Qian? It is nothing more than Empress Duanci being in power, which can affect the powerful position of the Fu family. If Li Chuyun intends to help his daughter give birth to a prince, then it is definitely not all the way with the Fu family, and of course he does not want to see the Fu family continue to grow up.

If you think a little deeper, you can also suspect that Li Chuyun, Fan Zhen, and Zuo You are colluding with the civil and military, forming a party and camping!

Zuo You sat on pins and needles for a while, and turned his head to look at Huang Binglian. Huang Binglian held the pen without squinting and wrote something, as if nothing happened...... The whole study room in the east hall was quiet, dead silence!

Zuo You really wanted to tear up this piece at this time! However, he understood that it did not work at all. Even if Huang Binglian didn't see it, the concertans were first classified and numbered by the Privy Council (after Fu Jinzhan took power on the west side of the Jinxiang Palace, all the concertos had to be classified and then sent to the east and west halls respectively). Moreover, Shi Yanchao can continue to read books.

Shi Yanchao of Dog Day! Zuo You scolded in his heart.

Zuo You was helpless, and still put Shi Yanchao's recitals in the pile, only hoping that Guo Shao would not see it when the time came...... Guo Shao did not approve every piece of music, and if he was unwilling to do something, he would mark it and send it back to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall for the ministers to deal with it as appropriate.

For the next half a day, Zuo You's whole person was in a trance and restless. It is not easy for him to have today's status and future, and it is too uncomfortable to be estranged from the emperor in this kind of matter.

…… However, when Guo Shao looked at the yellow paste on the concerto, he soon found Shi Yanchao's recital. And he is very concerned, because people like Shi Yanchao basically don't write concertans.

As soon as Guo Shao looked at the content, he couldn't help but observe Zuo You from behind the screen, and through the thin silk surface, Zuo You's face seemed to be very pale.

At this moment, the sound of bells and drums outside the Xuande Gate came, and the time had arrived.

Guo Shao took the piece in his hand and muttered for a moment, then stood up: "After you finish today's work, you will be on duty by yourself." ”

Zuo You, Huang Binglian and the others stood up, bowed down and bowed, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The eunuch sang: "The emperor is driving!" ”

…… Zuo You walked out of the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City with a heavy heart, and couldn't help but look back at the majestic palace city in front of his own carriage, and seemed to have a feeling for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

He got into the carriage, took out a pen and paper from the carriage, licked the tip of the pen with his tongue, and wanted to write a letter to tell Li Chuyun about today's incident.

But Zuo You picked up the pen, but he couldn't put it down on the rickety carriage...... If this matter is known again, wouldn't it be more confirmatory of collusion?

There is a group of people in the Imperial City Division, who are secretly investigating spies internally. I have never heard of Guo Shao instructing the Imperial City Department to monitor the ministers inside, and it should not be. But I'm afraid of what happens.

Zuo You has never felt so anxious as he does now.

He finally gave up and gave up his plan to tell Li Chuyun. There are some things that you simply don't do when you're not sure, and that's probably how it should be.

……

On that day, Li Chuyun didn't know about Shi Yanchao's book, but he smelled a very inexplicable sense of crisis. Probably a person who has been fighting for many years, if he has no intuition about danger, it is difficult not to suffer a big loss.

After returning home, his brother Li Liangshi came to see Li Chuyun again.

Li Liangshi regarded himself as a resourceful Confucian scholar and believed that Li Chuyun was a military general who was not good enough in strategy. In fact, Li Chuyun rarely listened to this person's advice, but he just felt that the clan brother was quite smart, and at least he could remind himself of some negligence.

The road I have walked personally, those ups and downs of experience and intuition, can not be compared by reasoning.

Li Liangshi came in and said: "I didn't expect Fan Zhen to come out, I really didn't want to insert willows, and I helped the lord a lot." Fan Zhen is the prime minister, not to mention that there are a bunch of henchmen, at least he has friendships with many people in the officialdom; He came forward to say that (against Fu Jinzhan for a long time), and the officials had to think carefully. From the words of the lord, the court should want to do great things recently, and the official family also wants the courtiers below to do their best to help him implement the strategy, and if he wants to get the support of the courtiers, he is definitely not willing to do anything else at this time. ”

Li Chuyun said quietly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Li Liangshi said: "I'm here to congratulate you, I think Empress Duanci can't continue to be in power." ”

Li Chuyun stroked his black and thick beard, shook his head, and muttered: "Check the ...... in front of the palace."

"My lord?" Li Liangshi looked at him puzzled.

Li Chuyun was still pacing around, a little uneasy.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Li Liangshi's words, and Li Chuyun also wants his grandson to be the prince, which is too good for the future of the Li family. However, the higher you are, the more you can't take it lightly.

What's the point of greedy more if you can't keep what you've already gotten and greed more?

He silently recited the word "check in front of the palace" again in his heart, and in addition to honor, he also felt that the chair was really a little hot! In the line of military generals, the highest position is the inspection in front of the palace, and he is the most senior military general in the entire Great Zhou.

The position in the forbidden army is already the highest, above is the sky, there is no road, and there is only the abyss below the clouds. But this does not prevent others from thinking that he is as high as the sky, which is why Li Chuyun smells danger.

The more he pondered, the quicker his steps became. After a while, he sat down in his chair, but immediately stood up again.

Li Liangshi asked suspiciously, "What is the lord worried about?" ”

Li Chuyun said: "I have nothing to do with Fan Zhen!" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed out the window again: "I just want the portrait of death to be in that Xuanren Merit Pavilion, and the descendants can glorify the lintel, and put my tablet in the main house." ”

Li Liangshi said: "The lord is right......

Li Chuyun stroked his beard vigorously and said, "Empress Duanci was driven away from the West Palace, and others think that it is the thing I want to see the most. You can think of it, the civil and military forces in the court are not stupid! Fan Zhen jumped out at this time and said, why did he say it? It's his business. ”

Li Liangshi was thoughtful, but he couldn't speak at this moment.

"So, could Fan Zhen be instructed by me?" Li Chuyun said in a deep voice, "I'm a military general, my ability is really great, even the prime minister commands to move, so can I pay it back?" ”

Li Liangshi suddenly slapped his head and said, "It's really wrong to go down!" ”

Li Chuyun glanced at him angrily.

Liangshi said: "When it comes to the position of the lord, gaining the trust of the official family is the most important thing, if you are suspicious, I am afraid it will be really troublesome." ”

Li Chuyun sighed, he joined the army during the (later) Jin Dynasty, he had never seen anything, and the Jin, Han, and Zhou dynasties were killed and wounded, and almost all of them were the end of the suspicion of the monarchs and ministers...... Even the Great Zhou Taizu was killed, and the whole family was killed. And in these dynasties, only those who possessed military power were suspicious.

It just so happens that Li Chuyun is now the most powerful person under the emperor!
