Chapter 258: Retreat as Advance

Nie Jun's matter made Zhang Tang very angry, and after he came back, he lifted the table again, he was blocked from being the prime minister, and now he wants to meddle in the affairs of the Tingwei Mansion, Zhang Tang has a sense of crisis, Wei Qing will do it to himself.

"My lord, then Nie Jun just let it go?" Xu Fei was also very unconvinced, and Nie Jun usually didn't take him seriously.

Zhang Tang calmed down and asked Xu Fei: "Then what do you want?" Anger Wei Qing? ”

Zhang Tang said as he walked: "Xu Fei, this official feels that the matter is getting more and more serious, you immediately go to contact some ministers, and ask His Majesty to appoint and dismiss Imperial Doctor Shi at the next court meeting, and if you don't cooperate, you will write it down, and you must find a way to make them cooperate." ”

"I'll arrange it right away." After Xu Fei answered, he was ready to make a quick arrangement.

"Come back." Zhang Tang waved his hand to stop him and continued: "Also, some matters in the Tingwei Mansion still have to be reported to Li Cai for approval, and some official affairs are still handled by him." Zhang Tang felt that he still had to keep a low profile.

Xu Fei was not: "No, anyway, the prime minister doesn't ask about these things." ”

After all, Li Cai is the boss, and the official level crushes people to death, in case Li Cai's mind is hot, it will be troublesome to fight against himself: "It is not easy to set up more enemies at this time, so it is better to keep a low profile." ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away." After Xu Fei answered, he left the Tingwei Mansion.

Seven days later, the court convened a court meeting again.

"Your Majesty, the minister is sure that Your Majesty will appoint and dismiss Dr. Shi." Lord Yang once again stood up and gave his hand to admonish.

Liu Che's mood today is okay, seeing that Li Cai, the first prime minister in the first row, is indeed old, and some things have indeed not been done well, after thinking about it for the past two days, he is also planning to change the imperial doctor.

"Li Cai, you have been holding two positions for a year, tell me, who else in the imperial court can be qualified for the position of imperial historian?" After Liu Che finished asking, he looked at Wei Qing, who had not spoken.

Li Cai knew the current situation, and the Manchu Dynasty would definitely flock to support the court lieutenant Zhang Tang for a while, but Li Cai was really not interested in Zhang Tang, so he admonished: "The old minister feels that he will be selected among the nine kings according to the regulations." ”

After hearing this, Lord Yang actually mustered up the courage to stand up and resist: "Prime Minister, according to the regulations, it should be the promotion of Tingwei." ”

This slapped Li Cai's face loudenough that an ordinary official dared to resist his words for the sake of Zhang Tang, so he took two steps forward and said: "Your Majesty, the position of the third prince must come from Jiuqing and the liehou." ”

Li Cai can be said to have expanded the scope more and more, from Jiuqing to Liehou, indicating that Zhang Tang's hope is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Out of Li Cai's majesty, Lord Yang began to be a little jealous, and he looked at Zhang Tang, who was not speaking and was in a daze.

"General, what do you think?" Liu Che was a little wavering, so he asked Wei Qing.

Wei Qing slowly walked to the middle and reported: "Your Majesty, the position of Imperial Doctor is related to the construction of the entire official system, and the minister thinks that it is better to consider it carefully." Wei Qing's words were really vague, and he didn't want to get too involved in the struggle between the DPRK and China.

The general Wei Qing and the prime minister and imperial historian Li Cai all opposed Zhang Tang openly and secretly, which made Zhang Tang really embarrassed, and he didn't say a word and was thinking about what to do next.

The two bigwigs of the imperial court are openly and secretly opposed, which makes Lord Yang and his gang really a little jealous, and they all know that if these two start a fire, the imperial court is afraid that it will be possible to change a group of people.

This incident really made Liu Che's heart stop, and just like that, this matter was forced to stop, and no one mentioned it anymore.

And in Liu Che's heart, it is also clear that one faction supports Tingwei Zhang Tang, and the other faction opposes Tingwei Zhang Tang.

At night

Liu Che continued to study the affairs of Northern Xinjiang on the map, and the waiter came to report to Zhang Tang for a meeting, this was the seventh time that Zhang Tang had come to him, of course Liu Che knew why, but he still wanted to hear Zhang Tang's opinion.

"Xuan!"

Zhang Tang thought of a way to retreat into advance,

At the beginning, he thought that Wei Qing would seek the supreme military command of the Han Dynasty, so he instigated Liu Che to worship Wei Qing as a general in the Dragon Pavilion, but Wei Qing resigned, Liu Che was relieved, and as a result, Liu Che really worshiped Wei Qing as a general.

In Zhang Tang's opinion, Liu Che likes the kind of person who knows the current affairs, so he reported: "Your Majesty, the minister, is only shallow in learning, and is not qualified for this position." ”

Liu Che frowned, his facial expression stiffened for a while, and then he smiled happily: "Hahaha, Zhang Tang, Zhang Tang, it seems that Gongsun Hong also made mistakes back then." ”

Gongsun Hong! Zhang Tang was shocked in his heart, it seemed that it was really the dead Gongsun Hong who was playing ghosts.

Gongsun Hong was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Tang when he was in power, but he also gave Zhang Tang as one of Liu Che's four masterpieces that year, so he didn't deal with it without authorization, but when he went to Huainan Kingdom, he admonished Liu Che that Zhang Tang was seriously selfish and unusable.

Now Liu Che saw that Zhang Tang still backed down in the face of the ministers' admonitions, so he said happily: "It's rare that you still know how to back down, I have actually been thinking about you all along, but I am also waiting for you, and I really didn't disappoint me." ”

Zhang Tang's initiative to persuade Liu Che to retreat made Liu Che doubt Gongsun Hong's words, as mentioned earlier, Zhang Tang was Liu Che's book companion when he was young, and he was Liu Che's right-hand man when he was young.

Zhang Tang's heart was pounding, and it really worked to retreat, it seemed that someone really made this consequence.

Zhang Tang knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you for your Majesty's trust." ”

The next day,

Liu Che announced to the Manchu civil and military that Prime Minister Li Cai would no longer concurrently serve as the imperial historian and would be replaced by Zhang Tang.

As soon as the news came out, it really shocked Prime Minister Li Cai and General Wei Qing, why did they suddenly change?

But His Majesty's Divine Will neither of them speculated too much.

As a result, Zhang Tang went through various intrigues and tricks to kill the first two imperial historians (Zhang Ou and Fan), and after waiting for another two years, he finally reached the top of power and ranked as the third duke.

has become a modern high-ranking official and minister of public security who has the power of life and death worthy of the name, and Liu Che's decision also made the Tingwei Mansion full of people, and officials from all walks of life and death stepped on it one after another.

Even Nie Jun, who was initially protected by Wei Qing, took this opportunity to apologize to Zhang Tang and show goodwill.

Zhang Tang, who had just ascended to the throne, had a night of partying, and he liked this feeling.

"Fine-kun, fine-kun!" Zhang Tang walked into the house drunk, and dragged Liu Xijun, who was about to greet the guests, into the house: "I'm finally, I've finally achieved it, hahaha." ”

Liu Xijun did not resist, Zhang Tang's promotion is a good thing for him, at least his family should have a settlement.

Pushing the cup outside and changing the lamp, the house is warm and .......

Zhang Tang is actually a person who does not love money, but he is definitely a person who is very eager for power, and he is actually a very poor person, except for receiving money, he has no other income.
