One of Cao Yong and Wang Zeng is going to be unlucky! This is a conclusion that Li Zhang came to after hearing the news from Zhao Zhen, and he was thinking about this matter along the way after saying goodbye to Zhao Zhen and leaving Gyeongbokgun Palace.

Liu E's most hated thing is that the ministers form gangs and factions, forming parties for personal gain, so after she listened to the government, the first thing she did was to ask the minister to offer the relationship between her relatives and friends, and then list it as a chart and hang it next to her bookcase.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Zeng and Cao will definitely win over forces to fight each other, which also violates the biggest taboo in Liu E's heart, she trusted Wang Qinruo so much at the beginning, but she still arranged Wang Zeng, Lu Zongdao and others for Wang Qinruo, in order to prevent Wang Qinruo from forming a party, even Wang Qinruo was so guarded by Liu E, not to mention Wang Zeng and Cao used.

However, Wang Zeng and Cao Yong, one is the prime minister, and the other is the privy envoy, which is equivalent to the two giants in the Great Song Dynasty, and Liu E cannot replace both of them for the sake of stability in the court, so Li Zhang judged that one of them must be unlucky, as for who is unlucky, it is impossible to say.

Originally, Cao Yong was Liu E's person, but Wang Zeng was too loyal and upright, and he had opposed Liu E in many things, so it stands to reason that Wang Zeng should be unlucky, but Cao Yong has been in a high position for too long, and people are becoming more and more arrogant, and he has offended many people in the court, and even Liu E can't stand his temper, and now Liu E has sat firmly in the court, and there is no need for Cao Yu to help her stabilize the situation, so Li Zhang is also a little uncertain, and in the end it is likely to depend on Liu E's mood.

It was still early, and Li Zhang also had some things to deal with with in the firearms superintendent, so he walked through the imperial city and prepared to go to the firearms superintendent, but when he walked to the Duanli Gate, he suddenly saw Wang Zeng walking out of the door, and the two were quite embarrassed to see each other, mainly because Wang Zeng was embarrassed, because he was now blue and swollen, and it looked really insulting.

"Xiaguan see Wang Xiang!" Li Zhang couldn't help laughing when he saw Wang Zeng's appearance, and then stepped forward and saluted, inside the Duanli Gate is the political affairs hall, and it is not strange to see him here, of course, he didn't expect Wang Zeng to be injured like this, and he didn't leave the political affairs hall, and he really fulfilled his duties.

"No need to be polite, Li Duwei is going to see the Queen Mother?" Wang Zeng sighed to relieve his embarrassment, and then asked.

"No, I went to His Majesty's place to talk for a while, is the king going back?" Li Zhang tried his best to control his face without showing a smile, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the other party, but looking at Wang Zeng's appearance, Cao Yu really deserves to be a person from a palace guard, and this attack is really ruthless.

"Well, the affairs of the political hall have been dealt with, and I am a little unwell, so I want to go back early and rest!" Wang Zeng nodded at this time and said, speaking of his unwellness, his face was a little embarrassed again, after all, as a prime minister, fighting is really not a glorious thing.

"I also happen to have something to go to the firearms supervisor to deal with, so that the lower officials will not delay the king!" Li Zhang really couldn't stand this embarrassing atmosphere, and took the initiative to say goodbye at the moment, and for some reason, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Wang Zeng's face.

Wang Zeng also didn't want to see people like this, and just wanted to nod and say goodbye to Li Zhang, but at this time, he suddenly thought of something, so he hesitated for a moment before he spoke again: "Li Duwei, you know the Queen Mother best, in your opinion, what will the Queen Mother think about the events of the early dynasty today?" ”

"This ...... Didn't the Queen Mother already let Cao Shumi stand according to the rules? So I think as long as there is nothing else to do in the future, the Queen Mother should not care about this kind of thing. Li Zhang hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Captain Li, you seem to be referring to other things?" Wang Zeng was very keen to grasp the key point of Li Zhang's words, and asked again at the moment.

Li Zhang didn't want to express any opinion on this matter, after all, he was not very familiar with Wang Zeng and Cao You, so there was no need to take sides, but since Wang Zeng asked here, and if he counted it seriously, he and Wang Zeng had more intersections, and even Wang Zeng wanted to kiss him at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang finally sighed secretly, and looked at Wang Zeng with blazing eyes at the moment: "Wang Xiang, I shouldn't have talked too much about this matter, but I want to remind Wang Xiang that on the wall next to the eldest lady's bookcase, there is a picture of all the ministers' relatives and friends, I hope you can understand the intention of the eldest lady's move!" ”

After Li Zhang finished speaking, he arched his hand to Wang Zeng, then turned around and left, all he said, Wang Zeng can understand that the joints are the best, if he doesn't understand, then he can't be blamed, after all, the friendship between the two is only worth so much.

Wang Zeng was also stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, but looking at Li Zhang's distant back, he slowly fell into contemplation, and after a while, he was suddenly startled, and his face showed a little frightened, he had already figured out the meaning of Li Zhang's words.

After the fright, Wang Zeng showed a somewhat happy expression, and then turned his head again to look at the direction of Li Zhang's departure, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment: "What a Li Zhang!" This son will definitely be a great minister in the future! ”

Li Zhang had already gone far away at this time, of course, he couldn't hear Wang Zeng's praise for him, but even if he heard it, it didn't have much impact on him, after all, he heard too many similar words, but he still didn't dare to relax, although the firearms supervisor was on the right track, but as long as he had time, he would still come and go, and now Liu Shu can completely take his place, but Liu E doesn't let go, and he can't go.

He stayed in the firearms prison until it was getting late, and then Li Zhang returned home in a carriage, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Han Qi greeted him with a gossipy face and said: "Brother Li, I heard that the court court Wang Xiang and Cao Shumi fought, is this matter true?" ”

"You're really well-informed, you already know everything about this morning?" In the face of Han Qi's inquiry, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, the secrecy work of the various yamen in the Great Song Dynasty has not been done well, except for the yamen such as the firearms superintendent, which absolutely needs to be kept secret, the other yamen are like a fence that is permeable from all sides, and any kind of news may circulate.

"It's not that I'm well-informed, but this matter is too sensational, and now the whole capital is discussing this matter, today I held a poetry meeting with a group of friends, but I didn't expect the news to come, everyone is not writing poems, but discussing this matter, but there are many rumors about this matter, and we can't be sure whether it's true or not." Han Qi said excitedly again at this time, such a big gossip was simply too attractive to them young scholars.

"It's true, the two had a dispute over the ranking of the previous dynasty, and then they fought." Li Zhang nodded helplessly at the moment and said, the news that the prime minister is fighting so vigorously and has selling points is indeed easy to attract the attention of others.

"What is the situation, is the two injuries serious?" Han Qi asked gossip again, their group of scholars have nothing to do all day, and the imperial examination will have to wait until next year, so in addition to reading, they are looking for time to get together, saying that they are reciting poems, but in fact, most of the time is idle chatting.

"I haven't seen Cao Shumi, but Wang Xiang is not lightly injured, and he can't see anyone anymore." Li Zhang said honestly, since it has been spread all over the city, there is no need for him to keep it secret, anyway, there were so many people at that time, it is estimated that he can't hide it.

"Tsk~, the dignified prime minister actually did it himself, it's really insulting!" Han Qi couldn't help but want to sigh a few words when he heard this, by the way, criticize Wang Zeng and Cao for taking advantage of the two of them, just criticize it, you don't seem to be any better at gossiping?

"Brother Han, I think you can learn a little boxing and kicking, in case you get into a fight with someone in the court in the future, you can also take advantage of it." Li Zhang suddenly had an idea at this time and joked with Han Qi that Han Qi is also the prime minister, and he has been sitting in the prime minister's position for ten years, and he can be the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty for ten years without falling, which is enough to show his ability.

"Haha~, I also have this intention, I just hope I don't need it in the future!" Han Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Zhang's ridicule, the prime ministers above were all in a mess, and they, the scholars who were about to enter the officialdom, naturally had to prepare early.

But when he said this, Li Zhang suddenly thought of something, so he happily said to Han Qi again: "Brother Han, there is a great joy to tell you!" ”

"What's the happy event?" Han Qi also hurriedly asked at this time.

"The imperial court is likely to open a branch this year!" Li Zhang said with a smile on his face, he also heard the news from Zhao Zhen, usually he doesn't pay attention to the imperial examination at all, and it was because of Han Qi that he specially inquired, but he didn't expect to hear a good news.

"What? It's true? Han Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Li Zhang's words and grabbed Li Zhang's arm and said, he thought that he would only be able to participate in the imperial examination next year, if he could advance it by a year, of course he couldn't ask for it.

"The matter has not yet been decided, but I listened to His Majesty himself, because His Majesty got married last year, but because it was late, he couldn't open Enke, so he decided to open a Keenke this year." Li Zhang also smiled again at this time, the current imperial examination has no fixed time, and from time to time there will be more enkes and the like, so sometimes the imperial examination comes very suddenly, and even the scholars who travel far away cannot reach the capital in time.

"Great!" Han Qi shouted again in ecstasy at this time, since it was said by His Majesty the Emperor himself, it should not be wrong, but it also means that he has to prepare in advance, and he can't be as relaxed as before.
