"Hehe, what a joke. What security issues do I have now? Did the Jin State attack, or did the Western Xia attack? Prime Minister Zuo is worrying about the sky. After the right prime minister finished smiling, he said to Emperor Lizong: "Holy Lord, the views of the old minister and the left prime minister are just the opposite, and the old minister thinks that the current domestic problems are more important than external problems. The minister thought that the construction of the army would be suspended. ”

Emperor Lizong frowned and nodded.

Liu Yong's heart sank, and it seemed that his plan was about to come to naught.

"That's it, two prime ministers, let me think about it first. Wait for the morning court ten days later to discuss it again, Prime Minister Zuo also put aside the affairs of the army for the time being, and wait for the court to discuss it! Alright, stand down. ”

Liu Yong and Prime Minister Right both stepped back.

When he arrived outside the palace, Prime Minister Right smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, although the old man disagrees with your political views, are we still good colleagues!" ”

"Yes, yes, what the right prime minister said is extremely true! Colleagues, colleagues, together! Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Hehe, since he is a good colleague, what about the jade horse that Prime Minister Zuo promised the old man?" The right prime minister flickered.

It's been several years, and he hasn't asked for it, and today he began to ask Liu Yong for the jade horse as soon as he returned to the throne of the right prime minister.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Prime Minister You, how could Liu forget such a big thing?" No, it won't. Just wait! ”

"Okay, then the old man will wait for the good news from Prime Minister Zuo. The old man will not let Prime Minister Zuo work in vain, you just have to make a price when the time comes. The right prime minister said with a smile.

"Right Prime Minister, I'm afraid that you will surprise you with the price I offered!" Liu Yong said with a smile.

The right prime minister's small eyes turned and he smiled, and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, are you scaring the old man?" ”

"How dare I, Liu Yong? I, Liu Yong, am just a left prime minister, and I am lower than your right prime minister. Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, what kind of short is not half a level shorter, your reputation in the court is very high now!" The right prime minister smiled.

"No matter how high you are, it's not as tall as your right prime minister?" Liu Yong also quarreled with him.

The right prime minister smiled and said, "Well, your left prime minister is still self-aware of this." The old man has been crisscrossing the sea for decades, but it is not for nothing. ”

Liu Yong didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, the matter was important, and he had to hurry up and find his team to study countermeasures. said: "Right Prime Minister, Liu admires you very much, but Liu still has important things to do, so I won't accompany you." Leave. ”

"Prime Minister Zuo walks slowly." The right prime minister smiled slightly with his hands behind his back, as if he was already a victor.

Indeed, at this time, the right prime minister was already victorious, and with his influence in the court, and with the power of Emperor Lizong, it was no longer a problem to move to Liu Yong. Moreover, although he has been in the opposition in the past few years, he has not been involved in the affairs of the government at all, so to speak, his network of relations in the DPRK and China has not been affected at all.

Since Liu Yong took office, he has promoted some more people he likes, which has made the former right prime minister very dissatisfied. This is a political struggle, and Liu Yong can't hide from it. If you want to do something, you must not use people you trust. Thus offending some others. And those people will become your enemies, and they will only wait for you to make mistakes.

Liu Yong finally decided to go back to the house first and think about it.

Back at home, Liu Yong seemed to realize that his political life in the Great Song Dynasty was likely to end there.

But he decided to fight again, because he never gave up. But he was also prepared to fail. This time he was not for himself, but for the Great Song Dynasty.

When the ladies saw him sullen, they gave him relief. In the afternoon, he called Yue Peng. In this family, only Yue Peng can talk to him. Because their political views are the same.

Seeing that his father-in-law was not very happy, Yue Peng knew that Liu Yong's plan was resisted, because he had also heard about the return of the right prime minister. He also knew that his father-in-law and the right prime minister had political discord. But he was on his father-in-law's side. Not because he is Liu Yong's son-in-law, but because he agrees with Liu Yong's strong army's policies.

But the right prime minister is too selfish, and he will definitely let his father-in-law's plan be aborted.

"Yue Peng." Liu Yong sat in his chair and shouted.

"The son-in-law is here." Yue Peng arched his hand.

"The father's left prime minister may not be able to do it anymore." Liu Yong said, but he was not sad. He still has his ideals.

Yue Peng didn't say anything, because he also thought so, but he didn't think that his father-in-law could step down from the position of Prime Minister Zuo, after all, he was also a person who had contributed to the Great Song Dynasty. Since his father-in-law said so, it is very difficult for him to be disappointed in the government.

"Yue Peng, you have to do a good job." Liu Yong said again.

"Yes, the child will live up to the expectations of his father-in-law." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong nodded. After a moment of silence, he said: "Yue Peng, the right prime minister is too selfish, and he will only bring the Great Song Dynasty to the edge of the cliff as the prime minister." However, you have also been in this officialdom for almost two years. You should still know where the water is deep and where the water is shallow. ”

Liu Yong can be regarded as reminding his son-in-law. He knew that his son-in-law was dedicated to being an official, and he didn't want to delay his future because of himself, although there was no future as an official in the Great Song Dynasty at the moment.

"Yes, the boy knows." Yue Peng replied.

Liu Yong nodded, satisfied, he still believed in his son-in-law. He is an honest and diligent official, and ordinary people can't find fault with him.

"Yue Peng, if my father retreats bravely, it will be so as not to implicate you! Remember, you are not to be involved in the work of the Father. Liu Yong said.

Hearing this, Yue Peng was moved.

He immediately said, "Father, you don't have to do it for the sake of the child. Although the child is the prefect of Lin'an, his role in the court is not as good as that of your father. On the contrary, the child is willing not to be an official himself, and he also wants his father to continue to be the left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, because as long as there is a father in the court, there is hope for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Liu Yong didn't immediately respond to his son-in-law after hearing this, but just let out a long sigh. After a while, he said faintly: "Peng'er, it's not that I don't want to serve the court for my father, it's just that my father doesn't want to waste his life in the struggle with the right prime minister!" ”

Yue Peng understood, he had heard that his father-in-law was going to sea, and the boats had been bought.

"The child knows that his father-in-law has a bigger goal." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong nodded and said lightly: "It's good that you know." After a pause, he said: "Ten days later, the court will fight for my father." ”

"The child knows that the father is a man who never gives up." Yue Peng said.

"But this time, I'm afraid my father will be a defeated person." Liu Yong said.

"Father, can bend and stretch out his husband, the child does not think that his father is defeated, but his father wants to start a new journey." Yue Peng said.
