Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty's intention is self-evident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info envelops the kings surnamed Liu, and wins over the family, His Majesty wants to take over the power in person! ”

Du Ruhui's analysis is exactly the same as Li Hongzhang's.

The little emperor Liu Xie has been making frequent moves recently, and his ultimate goal is nothing more than to regain the power of the court from the hands of the three auxiliary ministers!

And its main target is naturally the head of the three princes, Taiwei Liu Mang!

Liu Mang smiled helplessly: "Son of Heaven, grow up ......"

Liu Bowen was still shaking the fan unhurriedly. "People have a time to grow up. is bold, but not necessarily knowledgeable. ”

Although there was no one else, Liu Mang still interrupted Liu Bowen. "Lao Liu, don't be so mean. After all, the Son of Heaven has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has only experienced few things outside. ”

Du Ruhui said: "The lord has a heart of forgiveness, and we are fortunate to be among the staff." For the sake of the overall situation, the lord wants the court to be stable, but he also has to think about his subordinates. Not to mention those of us who live in the midst of the curtains, let's just say that the soldiers on the front line, which one is not fighting for the sake of the lord? If the lord always has a heart of forgiveness, his subordinates have no way of knowing whether the court can be stable, but the front-line soldiers are afraid that they will complain! ”

Liu Mang sighed: "Alas, General Xu Zijiang is right, I am missing the domineering spirit of King Xiang." ”

Liu Bowen rarely lowered his face and said, "Although the Son of Heaven thinks a lot, he may not be able to succeed. The kings surnamed Liu have been passed down for several generations. Now the reigning king has no soldiers in his hands and no talent in his chest, so he has no name! ”

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement and added: "Among the Huainan clansmen, there is only one person who is quite talented. If it can't be used by the Lord, it is better to ......"

"What Keming is talking about, Chengde Liu Ziyang?"

Du Ruhui nodded.

Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, the son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, followed Liu Yan, King of Fuling. Liu Ye became famous as a teenager and was quite talented. This time, instead of Liu Yu, the king of Fuling, he came to Songshan to meet the Son of Heaven.

Zhanzhao sent a message that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had met Liu Ye for the longest time!

Liu Mang said: "I came to you two to come here, just to analyze Your Majesty's intentions and then make a decision." ”

The little emperor Liu Xiehe and his close attendants, although racking their brains, came up with ideas that they thought were clever. But how can they compare with Liu Bowen and Du Ruhui, who are powerful in later generations.

Liu and Du had already gained insight into the little emperor's careful thinking.

Du Ruhui said: "The person who gives advice to His Majesty, although he is scheming, but he forgets it. At present, I do not dare to lightly say that the three princes have delegated power, and His Majesty is in power. Its purpose is nothing more than to win over and cultivate people who are close to him, give them official positions, wait for the right time, and seize power. ”

Liu Mang nodded. "It's easy to stop this matter, but at present, Yuan Rebellion has not been eliminated, the situation in Xiliang is unpredictable, and Yuan Benchu is eyeing him, ensuring the stability of the imperial court is the first priority. What does Mr. Berwyn think? ”

"My lord is right. I thought ......" Liu Bowen reappeared on the side of the old slippery head and smiled slickly, "Since the lord has been in power, dissidents in the DPRK and China, Xiliang and Yuan have been gradually eradicated. Now the people who are restrained in the DPRK are mainly the Hongnong Yang family. Since Your Majesty wants to install cronies, why don't we follow the trend? ”

Liu Mang's eyes lit up!

That's right!

The power of the court is the cake.

It's only that big in total, and the forces of all sides share it.

The little emperor wants to share a part of the power, so it's good to follow him!

is worried about the constraints of dissident forces in the court, why not take advantage of the little emperor's struggle for power to weaken the power of Hongnong Yang's faction in the court!

In this way, it can not only maintain a harmonious relationship with the little emperor, maintain the stability of the court, but also take the opportunity to weaken the dissident forces. Even, if planned properly, you can even strengthen your own power in the imperial court!

The little emperor wants to be clever, Liu Bowen and Du Ruhui are powerful in later generations, but they have great wisdom to deal with it!

After careful deliberation, Liu Mang made a decision.

Since the little emperor wants to weaken the power of the auxiliary three dukes, then follow his thoughts!

Hongnong Yang's faction once played Liu Mang's position as prime minister, so as to take the opportunity to gain real power. Liu Mang did the opposite and took the initiative to give up part of his power, so that the family faction had no chance to rely on!

The family wants to fight for power, and the little emperor also wants to fight for power, so give them power!

Power is the goal of the other two parties, but it is the trump card held by Liu Mang!

Liu Mang can give up all power, except military power!

And the military power, the little emperor and the family have no possibility and opportunity to get involved at all!

For Liu Mang, as long as he has military power, other powers are dispensable.

Moreover, with the wisdom of Liu Mang and his subordinate elite staff, it is easy to transform the contradiction between Liu Mang and the little emperor and the family into the contradiction between the little emperor and the family, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!

……

The specific countermeasure is to obey the will of the little emperor and take the initiative to express his position, and the third prince will no longer lead Jiuqing.

And disperse the power in the hands of the three princes to Shangshutai and Yushitai.

Shang Shutai is the central body of decision-making.

The Imperial Historical Observatory oversees all affairs.

Although Shangshutai and Yushitai do not have high status, they hold real power.

In this way, the original three princes led Jiuqing, and the power of the dynasty controlled by them was dispersed to Jiuqing and Ertai. Taiwei, Situ and Sikong became high-ranking positions.

In this way, the goals of all parties must be concentrated on Jiuqing and Ertai.

In order to divert the opponent's idea, Liu Mang decided to lower the rank and salary of Shangshutai and Yushitai.

For the time being, there will be no second chief officer. There is no Shangshu Order, and there is no Imperial Historian in the Imperial Observatory.

In this way, the two factions of the little emperor and Yang Biao will definitely strive for the position of Jiuqing.

Among the nine qing, Liu Mang holds the second, namely the guard captain served by the eldest grandson Wuji and the young secretary served by Li Hongzhang.

The position of the rest of the seven kings, let the opponents fight for it!

Liu Mang only needs to fight for the lower rank, but he holds the real power, and the deputy positions of the two stations - Shangshutai's left and right servants, and the three positions of Yushi Zhongcheng.

The little emperor can arrange cronies in Jiuqing, and he can be satisfied.

And the cronies of the little emperor are bound to seize the position of the family group.

The Saga Group lost the position of Jiuqing, Zhong Miao became a vacant position, and Yang Biao must be dissatisfied. will definitely try to compete with Liu Mang for the second deputy position.

If the external troubles are not eliminated, the court cannot be chaotic.

In order to simplify the contradiction, Liu Mang took the initiative to give up the post of lieutenant.

Si Li, the third division of the Kaifu Yibi, is in charge of the Sili counties, which currently include Henan Yin, Hongnong County, Hedong County, Hanoi County and other places.

And the county guards of these four counties are all served by Liu Mang's cronies. And the military affairs of the division are all in the hands of Liu Mang, and even if Yang Biao Group obtains the position of lieutenant of the division, it can only fake his name and have no real power.

After careful consideration, Liu Mang decided to transfer Li Hongzhang and Jing Xiang back from Bingzhou.

Li Hongzhang was appointed as the secretary of the Shaofu, and Jing Xiang succeeded Fan Zhongyan as the secretary of the Taichang Shaoqing. And Fan Zhongyan replaced Li Hongzhang as the assassin of Bingzhou.

Fang Xuanling and Zhang Juzheng served as the left and right servants of Shangshutai.

Kou Zhun served as the middle of the imperial history. Because the war in Xiliang may break out at any time, Kou Zhun temporarily served as Anyi Yin, and Jia Kui served as Hedong County Cheng to assist Kou Zhun in acting Hedong political affairs.

After discussion, Liu Mang returned to Songshan and met the little emperor Liu Xie. (To be continued.) )
