The emperor was very distressed, it turned out that he was so happy to get the good news of Lubu, the party was annihilated, Xifan was driven away, and Huaixi was gone, he thought that the world would return to orthodoxy, but he was wrong, Wei Gao, Du You, Gao Yue The three giants began to go their own way, and a large number of small square towns followed behind and waved their flags and shouted, forcing me to seal Zen and be feudal.

But the emperor has almost no help now, and a few Shence military towns that can still be fought are far away in the west, and after the last "Pei Yanling Rebellion Incident", all matters of water transportation in the northwest Yingtian were sentenced by Lu Zhen, Guanzhong and Daibei Yingtian water transportation were sentenced by Du Huangshang, and Han Wei and Zheng Qi were in charge of personnel and selection. Also in that incident, a group of Shenwei and Shence generals who bribed Li Qiyun to try to serve as Fengxiang and Xingyuan were all killed with a rod, which had a great impact on the emperor's "credit" - now both the civil and military sides of the Jingshi know that the emperor is not good at speaking, and the emperor can't keep people, and no one wants to take on debts, and then ask the emperor's middle officials and close ministers to operate official positions.

After all, the lieutenant is an appendage of the imperial power, and when the imperial power shrinks, the arrogance of the lieutenant is also low.

Now it is the three divisions under the control of the prime minister, who are paying military salaries to the Shenwei and Shence armies.

As a result, the Zhongguan group represented by the supervising military envoys and the internal envoys was very resentful, and the generals in the forbidden army did not look good at this group of eunuchs, after all, if you don't take money from you, who will like the role of project supervisor?

Therefore, there are even calls in the court to abolish the lieutenant system and the military courtyards of each town, and restore the tradition of the imperial history platform to go out to supervise the army.

"The success of fighting Annan has all achieved Gao Yue and Du You...... And they will have an extra portion, and they will have a share of my flesh torn apart. The emperor thought so, and the whereabouts of the new jinshi in the past two years hit him even harder.

According to Zheng Qi's account, a total of 325 jinshi were obtained in the past two years, which was several times the scale of the previous one, but the central government was unable to grant official positions, so it asked most of them to go home to guard the election, but where would this group of people be lonely? Part of it was conquered by Du Huangshang and Lu Zhen, serving the camp fields and salt in the northwest and Shuofang, and most of them were directly dispersed to seek jobs in various shogunates, and Wei Gao and Gao Yue were one east and one west, the most elite: Gao Yue annexed the Yangzi Stay Backyard and Shoulu Patrol Yuan, and also prepared to set up a new patrol court to manage maritime trade, and there was a momentum of turning the Patrol Yuan into Huainan Jiedu to make the economic management department, and the three divisions of the imperial court began to become a simple audit department, and went to Gao Yue's Patrol Court as an official, with good rank and rank, and the treatment was also generous, everyone flocked to it, and some people even threatened:" The Jinshi of the Ministry of Rites and the protégé of the Son of Heaven are just the addition of Huai Xuan and Shu Xuan. ”

In order to be able to go to Huaiyang Patrol Academy, people can only come to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam first.

In the end, less than one-tenth of the Jinshi were awarded by the emperor as officials.

The emperor's pain, there is a prime minister in his eyes, resentment in the bottom of his heart.

"Don't let the senior enter the Hajj, otherwise I will stab this slave to death with a sharp blade!" After returning to the first, Zheng Qi, the servant of the door, was indignant.

Bi Sheng, who was weaving on the side, was not alarmed, and said to Zheng Qi: "Stabbing to death the third year of high school, don't forget to stab my brother-in-law to death." ”

The brother-in-law in her mouth is Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu.

Speaking of this, Zheng Qi could only sulk and not speak.

Bi Sheng sighed, "Husband, the general trend of the world is here, even I, a female streamer, can see it." ”

"The female generation can only cater to it, and the husband should be the mainstay and never give in!"

Bi Sheng snickered and said that Gao Yue came to reason with you, and he wrote you a letter from Yangzhou.

At this time, Zheng Qi saw his wife take out the letter from the bookcase.

Gao Yue's thoughts, plans, and goals for the direction of the world, detailed and detailed, were written on the letter as they were, and he was frank to Zheng Qi: I think this plan is the best, he didn't even tell Wei Gao, Du You, etc., just when you came to a private message to scold me before, I will take the opportunity to confide in you my true thoughts, everything is in the reply, whether you agree with civilization or disagree, I will follow my own goals, push the wheels of the world to rumble forward, through this letter I am here to seek like-minded friends, to you, to Lu Jiu, This is the case for Du Zunsu and Han Youshen, and I look forward to replying.

Under the moonlight, the fragrance of the laurel tree permeated the courtyard, Zheng Qi pinched the letter of thousands of words long to Gao Yue with his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth, "The best solution, the best solution......

The next day, when the prime minister of Zhongshu met for dinner, Zheng Qi hesitated, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food uncertainly, he put the food chopstick on the small cup of blue-gray porcelain, and then he was distracted, as if he was hesitating about something.

The other three prime ministers were stunned, this kind of scene was simply rare for Zheng Qi, he was simple and powerful on weekdays, and he sat down to eat after eating seven minutes full.

"Civilization, do you have any ideas, you might as well say it, and everyone will refer to it together?" Du Huangshang asked with concern.

"Regarding the candidate for the protector of Annam, whether it was sent out by the imperial court or selected by the Duyou shogunate itself, this is not just a simple little dispute, the servant feels that the current national court should indeed reach the point of 'determining the country'." When these words came out of Zheng Qi's mouth, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

In fact, Zheng Qi was crying in his heart, he felt that he had been tied to other people's chariots, and he was drifting away, in the future historical commentary, would he still be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty?

To determine the country, it is necessary to continue to reform the system as soon as possible and put forward new major policies before the drastic changes in the situation, so as to maintain the political leadership of the country, otherwise the country is really in danger of falling apart.

"It's not for anyone, it's for the world." Zheng Qi concluded, "If you can't agree on the state as soon as possible, blindly be passive and passive, and only seek to be well-off, then you will be responsible for the sentient beings of Yuan Yuan." ”

After saying this, Zheng Qi became relaxed.

Du Huangshang, Lu Zhen and Han Wei all agreed with this.

They won't let Zheng Qi carry it alone, "The political hall is the government, and there is no doubt that the country is where the country is agreed, how can we be a vegetarian meal and be willing to sit in the hall without a word?" Now Feng Chan and feudalism are the focus of the dispute between His Majesty and the marshal, and they are also the opportunity for the prime ministers of the political hall to arbitrate. Du Huangshang and Lu Zhen said that Zheng Wenming has a strategy, and it doesn't hurt to be outspoken.

"I have a friend who is extremely talented, and he has a unique opinion on this controversy, that is, ......" Zheng Qi learned from his own teacher, opened the skill of "making friends out of nothing", and then talked to you.

As a result, there was a lot of discussion, corrections and additions, so that the dine-in meal lasted almost for a full hour and a half.

"First, or last?" After the end, Du Huangshang asked like this, meaning that our prime minister will come first, or will the situation be the last to decide.

Lu Zhen touched his beard and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It's better to be late." ”

Everyone else agreed, and a tacit understanding was reached.

The first striker is the passive emperor.

Half a month later, Lingnan's fast horse galloped, Du You said that the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate could not be ruled for too long, and had directly asked the soldiers and horses to make Zhang Zhou the new Metropolitan Protector, and asked the imperial court to grant Zhang Zhou the official title of Imperial History Zhongcheng.

In addition, there are several captured elephants, which will be sent to Jingshi immediately.

"Bastard......" The emperor trembled with anger.

This Du You is tantamount to setting himself up as an official and an autocratic party.

The emperor had no choice, and when he went back, he thought of Liu Zongyuan, so he asked him to go to Shaoyang Academy, to inform the prince, and immediately let Liu Qifu as the head of the Ministry of Rites Wailang and the bachelor of Jixian Academy, and launch a counterattack on the public opinion front!
