It's about to be the third watch, but Wang Zeng didn't have the slightest sleep, yesterday morning Cheng Lin presented the "Picture of the Martial Empress Linchao", plus before Fang Zhonggong blatantly asked Liu E to be the emperor, which detonated the court, although many people scolded Fang Zhonggong and Cheng Lin for being sycophants, but scolding people can't scold people to death, since Cheng Lin dared to do this, they were naturally ready to be scolded.

Wang Zeng, as the prime minister, doesn't care much about Cheng Lin, what he cares about is Liu E's attitude, in recent years, he obviously feels that Liu E's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, the last time he went to Cixiao Temple, Liu E has already tested the attitude of the ministers once, this time it is more explicit, and directly put the matter of the emperor on the table, of course, thanks to Lu Zongdao, he has always been known for his loyalty, and he is his deputy, some things are inconvenient for him to come forward directly, just by Lu Zongdao to speak for him.

However, although Liu E's idea was temporarily dispelled this time, Wang Zeng still did not dare to relax, because Liu E's temptation of the ministers became more and more frequent, and many ministers who resolutely opposed Liu E were also relegated to other places one after another, and most of the people who were promoted were Liu E's henchmen, so that there were fewer and fewer people who could be used in the hands of him, the prime minister, and now what he was most afraid of was that Liu E would attack him and Lu Zongdao and others, in case they were also demoted out of Beijing, then no one in the entire court would be able to stop Liu E from becoming emperor.

Thinking of the above, Wang Zeng couldn't help but show a little wry smile, when Wang Qinruo died, he once recommended him to Liu E as the prime minister, the real purpose was to let him contain Liu E, although he didn't have a good impression of Wang Qinruo, but I have to say that in this matter, Wang Qinruo is still loyal to the royal Zhao family, but Wang Zeng is now feeling more and more powerless, and even he regrets taking this phase.

"Knock knock~" Just when Wang Zeng regretted and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect a knock on the door suddenly, which made him stunned, because he had already instructed the family that no one was allowed to disturb him when he was in the study, not even his wife.

"Who?" Wang Zeng asked very unhappily at the moment.

"Cough~, the lower officials took the liberty to visit, and asked the prime minister not to blame!" Li Zhang coughed dryly at the moment and tried his best to make his voice appear very peaceful, after all, he jumped over the wall in the middle of the night and ran to the house of the prime minister of the current dynasty, which was no longer rude, but presumptuous.

"Li Zhang?" Wang Zeng also immediately recognized Li Zhang's voice, and was even more stunned for a while, probably not expecting Li Zhang to appear outside his study, but he was worthy of being the prime minister, and he did not panic when he encountered this kind of thing, but stood up very calmly and opened the door for Li Zhang, and then looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Wang Xiang's forgiveness is really helpless, so I can only make this decision, let people take me quietly into your mansion, and I hope you will never blame you!" When Li Zhang saw Wang Zeng, he immediately apologized first, after all, he broke into someone's house, and it was quite good that Wang Zeng didn't let people beat him out directly.

Wang Zeng was very calm, looked at Li Zhang a few times at the moment, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid that Captain Li is here for Your Majesty, right?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the prime minister, the day before yesterday, His Majesty summoned me to the palace, and he was also very worried about the affairs in the court, I can only persuade him to relax, for the next situation, I still need the guidance of the prime minister!" Li Zhang immediately saluted Wang Zeng again.

Wang Zeng did not blame Li Zhang, but invited Li Zhang into the room, the wild dog was guarding the door, this is Wang Zeng's study, and no one dares to disturb him, and after Li Zhang and Wang Zeng sat down, I saw Wang Zeng speak: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but he was more and more worried about the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Wang, as the head of a hundred officials, I don't know what you think about the Queen Mother's affairs?" Li Zhang replied again at the moment, but he still saved some face for Zhao Zhen, and did not say that he only knew tears and was completely panicked to tell what scared him.

Wang Zeng also pondered for a moment when he heard Li Zhang's answer, and then said slowly: "You can tell Your Majesty, so that he doesn't have to worry, although the Queen Mother has ideas, and even has some small actions, she may not dare to really risk the world, as long as I and Guanzhi are in the court for a day, the Queen Mother will never dare to move!" ”

Wang Zeng's answer was similar to Li Zhang's judgment, and he nodded at the moment, but then he hesitated for a moment before he spoke again: "With Wang Xiang and Lu participating in politics, the Queen Mother really doesn't dare to make any big moves, but I'm worried that with the Queen Mother's temper, in case she ......."

Li Zhang also deliberately stopped when he said this, and Wang Zeng also guessed what he was going to say, and he couldn't help frowning at the moment, and only said again after a while: "If the Queen Mother really can't tolerate us, it is very likely that she will find a reason to demote us out of the capital, but you don't have to worry too much, even if we leave, but there are other people in the court, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to demote everyone out of Beijing, and there will always be other people to restrain her!" ”

Although Wang Zeng said so, but when it came to the end, his voice did not have any confidence, after all, now that Liu E is in charge of the court, his power as the prime minister has also been compressed a lot, even if he can still contain Liu E now, but in case he is also demoted, I am afraid that even if the successor in the future has the intention, I am afraid that he will not be able to contain it.

Li Zhang looked at Wang Zeng's appearance and sighed secretly, the dignified prime minister of the dynasty has nothing to do with Liu E now, and he also remembers that in the original history, Wang Zeng was casually demoted out of the capital by Liu E, but no one in the court dared to oppose it at that time, but Liu E didn't expect to degrade a Wang Zeng, but promoted a more sleek enemy, and this person was Lu Yijian.

That night, Li Zhang and Wang Zeng chatted until late at night before leaving, but after Li Zhang left, Wang Zeng reprimanded the nursing home fiercely, and then strengthened the guards at home.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang entered the palace again to see Zhao Zhen, and told him what Wang Zeng meant, of course, he also made some beautification, it seems that Wang Zeng has already prepared, which makes Zhao Zhen finally feel a lot more at ease, at least no longer fidgeting like the previous two days.

Time flies quickly, seeing that this year is about to pass, but no one expected that not long after this year entered the winter, another major event suddenly happened in the court, Lu Zongdao, who was known as the prime minister of the fish head and prevented Liu E from doing things many times, suddenly fell ill and was about to die.
