"Cousin, you're finally back, I'm almost annoyed by these twists and turns!" As soon as Li Zhang entered the Vertical Arch Palace, he saw Zhao Zhen pushing the mountains of twists and turns in front of him and said with a wry smile, although he usually has endless twists and turns, it is rare for him to pile up so much at once like now.

"These can't be the twists and turns of Song Qi and Han Qi, right?" Li Zhang looked at the folds on the table and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"It's not just Song Qi and these people, but also the ministers who oppose it led by Xia Zhu are also playing every day, and now the two gangs are arguing in the court, and I'm almost annoyed to death now!" Zhao Zhen finally said bitterly again, as soon as they met, he said twice that he was "annoyed", and obviously this matter also gave him a headache.

Li Zhang was not in a hurry to express his opinion at this time, and immediately picked up the top one, only to see that the name of the fold was "Cheng Bi's Ren Unworthy Performance", and the handwriting on the fold was also recognized by him at a glance, which was written by his friend Han Qi.

Han Qi is now an official who worships the right minister, and the grade of the official is generally not high, but no one dares to mess with them in the court, because these people can write to impeach the minister at any time, and Han Qi's performance is even more sharp, and Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi, Shi Zhongli, and Wang Sui are unceremoniously scolded as mediocre officials, you must know that these four people are all in power, and their official positions are only under Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian.

With Li Zhang's understanding of Han Qi, he is smart and sleek, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he will rarely criticize people with such fierce words, but in this twist and turn, he drenched Chen Yaozuo's four people with blood, leaving no emotion, which made Li Zhang a little surprised.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Zhang also understood what Han Qi meant, after Chen Yaozuo and the four of them took office, their performance was indeed very mediocre, but they were all veteran ministers, so they were able to sit in their current positions, which naturally caused Han Qi to be dissatisfied with these rising stars, after all, they occupied the seats, and the people below could not be promoted.

Of course, the most important thing is that Han Qi hopes to carry out a big change in the Great Song Dynasty, so the high position cannot play a role in mediocre ministers like Chen Yaozuo, and he must choose ministers with both ability and political integrity to govern, so from this reason, he must also drive Chen Yaozuo and the four people down.

"Chen Xianggong, they seem to have been impeached by many people recently, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" Li Zhang smiled and put down Han Qi's recital, and then asked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen also had a headache on his face at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "Although Chen Xianggong and his old ministers do not have outstanding political achievements, they are usually conscientious and have helped the Great Song Dynasty overcome many difficulties, but now Han Qi and others are holding on to the four of them, which makes me very embarrassed!" ”

With Li Zhang's understanding of Zhao Zhen, he guessed his mind as soon as he opened his mouth, although Zhao Zhen didn't say it, but in fact, he was also a little dissatisfied with Chen Yaozuo and others in his heart, just because these people were all senior ministers, so he was embarrassed to dismiss him directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Wang Xianggong is sick, Chen Xianggong and these people are not younger than Wang Xianggong, if they are tired and sick, it will also be a loss for our Great Song Dynasty!" Li Zhang smiled and said at the moment, since he understood Zhao Zhen's thoughts, he also made an excuse for Zhao Zhen.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang's words and immediately nodded: "Cousin, what you said is right, Chen Xianggong is older, and his energy is not as good as before, it is true that they can't work too hard, it is better to let them go to the local office, so that it can be easier!" ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words came out, he almost announced the fact that Chen Yaozuo and others were about to be ousted. If Li Zhang is not mistaken, it is with this twist and turn in history that Han Qi made Chen Yaozuo and the four of them quit in one fell swoop, thus making a name for himself in the capital, and also paving the way for him to ascend to the stage in the future.

However, just removing Chen Yaozuo and the four can't solve the current problem, Zhao Zhen's biggest headache is the quarrel caused by whether the country is changing, and he is a little undecided about this matter now, so he wants to hear Li Zhang's opinion.

"Cousin, what do you think of Song Qi's remarks criticizing current politics, has our Great Song really reached the point where it will not change?" Zhao Zhen asked Li Zhang with some uncertainty at the moment.

"There are many ills in the country, but Your Majesty has just solved the external threat, and with the power of a great victory, it can temporarily suppress all kinds of contradictions in the country......"

"Really?" Before Li Zhang finished speaking, Zhao Zhen interrupted excitedly.

"I'm just talking about temporary suppression, but it can't be completely solved, and even because of the suppression, the contradictions will become more acute, of course, in a country as big as our Great Song Dynasty, these contradictions will not completely break out for a while, but maybe when your son is in power, these contradictions will be on the verge of breaking out, and then he will either make up his mind to carry out a greater change, or watch the Great Song Dynasty repeat various problems in the last years of the previous dynasties, or even ......"

Li Zhang didn't say anything more in the end, and Zhao Zhen also understood what he meant, a dynasty also has cycles, and in the last years of the dynasty, it was not that there were no wise monarchs, but at that time, manpower could no longer recover the situation at that time, even the emperor could not.

"In that case, I have only two choices, either to solve the country's ills now, or to leave these things to my son, and he may have to pay a greater price to solve them?" Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment before he spoke.

Li Zhang nodded, his eyes were always staring at Zhao Zhen, he seemed to give Zhao Zhen two choices, but in fact, with his understanding of Zhao Zhen, there was actually only one choice, and Zhao Zhen really did not disappoint him, and said firmly at the moment: "Since this is the case, then I can only choose the first one, I can't leave these things to my children and grandchildren to solve!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, in fact, in my opinion, now is a good time for Your Majesty to sweep away all kinds of ills in the country, first, Your Majesty has won a series of victories abroad, so that Your Majesty's prestige has also reached its peak, no one in the Great Song Dynasty dares to disobey Your Majesty's will, and secondly, to solve external threats, and can also concentrate on solving internal problems, so as long as you make a decision, maybe it won't be long before the entire Great Song Dynasty will take on a new look!" Li Zhang immediately put a high hat on Zhao Zhen, and by the way, he also helped him strengthen his confidence.

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then he said distressedly: "But this matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, the depth of the ills within the Great Song Dynasty is not a day's work, and I don't know where to start?" ”
