Shi Bufan knew that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and if he did not solve it as soon as possible, he was afraid that he could easily become a victim in this kind of political struggle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This kind of political power struggle, especially such a high-level power struggle, is certainly not an ordinary trivial matter. It is a terrible phenomenon that often leads to an all-out struggle between two huge political blocs. And anyone would have avoided this phenomenon, Li Shimin would have avoided it, and at the same time the two political blocs were afraid of an all-out struggle. In this case, it is also very normal to sacrifice some small people as a way to ease the conflict between the two sides. Although he is an extraordinary six-rank official, but at such a high level, he is obviously still a small person, if he is involved at this time, he is likely to get into something. At that time, even if you are extraordinary and immortal, you will have to face the result of being idle for a long time.

The career is like this, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Maybe some people think that life is long and they can afford to wait. However, there are times when it is true that you should wait, but that does not mean that you should be unlucky. Sometimes a year or two is enough to determine your future. Why is there so much competition for promotion so often? Because some people really can't afford to wait, once they miss this almost, when they get older, their future development will be greatly affected. A few years behind, perhaps it is the result of a bright future and a bleak future. Shi Bufan didn't want to be involved, let alone become a victim, he didn't want to wait a few more years to waste a few more years.

"I must understand this as soon as possible, otherwise once the two political blocs fight, maybe I will become a victim!" Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan began to draw on Wei Zheng's network as soon as possible, preparing to find the possibility of breaking the game. Although on the surface, this has nothing to do with him, but if it really caused a fight between the two groups, then I am afraid that in order to balance the two groups, then in the end, Shi Bufan will become a victim.

This is not impossible, but very likely. Shi Bufan once heard a story in later generations, in a crazy era, a road was built, but the construction party cut corners and caused the road to be narrower by two meters. But when it came time to be held accountable in the end, it was the design that was shot. This thing is so funny, the construction party cut corners and narrowed two meters, but in the end, the unrelated designer was held accountable and shot, which shows that in crazy times, anything can happen. What's more, in ancient times, there was no concept of governing the country according to law at all, and it was completely a practice where power was greater than the law, and this kind of bad thing was more likely to happen.

Shi Bufan must break the game as soon as possible, and there are no more than two ways. One is to get them to end the fight as soon as possible, and stop fighting. Of course, there is another way, which is to push them to fight quickly, as long as they do it quickly, without delay, so as to avoid the result of sacrificing Shi Bufan in order to defuse the conflict. However, whether it is for them to end the conflict, or to push for a quick solution behind the back, it is necessary to figure out why Wei Zheng is engaged in this Shi Lian. Wei Zheng and Lu Shilian actually have no grudges, why did they suddenly fire at Lu Shilian? This is not logical, so Shi Bufan must plan this Wei Zheng's relationship network again to see where the intersection of his relationship network with Lu Shilian is.

"Wei Zheng represents the interests of the Pei family, it seems that the Pei family and the Gao family have no grudges! The Pei family is from Hedong, while the Gao family is from Bohai. The Pei family belongs to the Hedong Shi clan, but the Gao family belongs to the Shandong Shi clan, and they don't seem to be able to fight each other! Shi Bufan thought.

But then Shi Bufan suddenly thought of a question, saying: "If according to the general practice of 'criminology', whoever benefits from this, or who benefits the most, is likely to be the perpetrator." If you follow this inference, according to the original history, after Lu Shilian was kicked out, it was Wang Qi, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who succeeded him. ”

"Wang Qi used to be Li Jiancheng's person, and Wei Zheng was also Li Jiancheng's person, so will there be any connection between them. Moreover, Wang Jue is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and both Taiyuan and the Pei family belong to the Hedong area, and both belong to the Hedong Shi clan. Since Wei Zheng represents the interests of the Pei family, maybe there is some deal between the Pei family and the Taiyuan Wang family behind it. In addition, Wei Zheng and Wang Qi were both subordinates of Li Jiancheng before, so this means that they also have a basis for cooperation. Quite possibly! ”

Shi Bufan then speculated on the sources of the current prime ministers, among which Zhongshu Ling Yu Wenshi and was from the Guanlong Group, but Yu Wenshi and not Li Shimin's cronies, but Li Yuan served as it. The Yuwen family is also an important family of the Guanlong Group, and even the Yuwen family is also the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but it was usurped by the Sui Dynasty. And Zhongshu Province represents the interests of the emperor, so it is obviously not appropriate for Yu Wenshi to serve in the future. Most of the Yu Wenshi are going to be kicked out, not to mention that Yu Wenshi and none of them are Li Shimin's absolute cronies.

As for the provincial servant of the door, he was born in Bohai, and he is actually one of the spokespersons of the Shandong Shi Group. Fang Xuanling is also the spokesperson of the Shandong Shi clan and occupies the position of servant. Du Ruhui is the spokesperson jointly promoted by the Guanlong Group and the Guan Sergeant Clan, and he is also a servant.

"In this way, the Shandong Shi clan actually has two spokespersons, so this is really interesting. Fang Xuanling and Lu Shilian are both spokespersons of the Shandong Shi clan, which means that the strength of the Shandong Shi clan will rise sharply in the future. In this way, the strength of the Shandong scholars in this court is too strong, and they not only occupy Menxia Province, but also Shangshu Province, and it is easy to lose balance. As for Du Ruhui, the spokesperson of the Guanlong Group and the Guanzhong Clan, he obviously felt a lot of pressure. This is certainly not in the interests of Li Shimin and does not conform to the balanced approach that has always been practiced. In such a situation, finding a way to maintain balance is also an important tool. Could it be that this Wei Zheng went to sue Lu Shilian and was instructed by Li Shimin behind his back? Of course, it may not be an instruction, or it may be Li Shimin's hint, or it may be that Wei Zheng or the Pei family behind him guessed some of Li Shimin's thoughts, so they were so relieved and bold to sue? Shi Bufan continued to speculate.

This is indeed possible, the current situation in the imperial court is indeed a little unbalanced, and it is impossible for Li Shimin not to see it. Even the Hedong Shi clan is the same, they should be able to see the situation behind this. Li Shimin may have the idea of suppressing the Shandong Shi clan, and in this case, Fang Xuanling or Lu Shilian must be kicked out. And since Pei Lin got out of the Hedong clan and Pei Ju died, there has been no spokesperson at the top level. Not only does the Pei family have no spokesperson, but the entire Hedong clan also has no spokesperson. The Hedong Shi clan must be on top, and this candidate may be Wang Qi.

Wang Qi is currently the squire of the Yellow Gate, and if he is kicked out of the Yellow Gate, he has a natural advantage as the authority to act as the agent of the province. Even Wang Ju is a member of the Hedong Shi clan, maybe the Wang family and the Pei family reached some agreement, after Pei Ju died, let the Wang family be the spokesperson of the Hedong Shi clan. As for Wei Zheng, although he is the spokesperson of the Pei family, after the Pei family compromised, he had no choice. What's more, Wei Zheng does not have the qualifications to become the prime minister at present, so it may be normal to wait for a while.

If that's the case, then the explanation passes. The Hedong Shi clan lacks a spokesperson, and Li Shimin may not know whether he has hinted at it openly and secretly, and does not want the Shandong Shi clan to continue to occupy the position of two prime ministers, which will easily cause an imbalance in strength. Therefore, Fang Xuanling and Lu Shilian will inevitably kick one away. After Pei Ju's death, the Hedong Shi clan lacked a high-level spokesperson, and at this time they must support Wang Jue to go up. Whether it is the normal order of succession or the relationship transaction behind it, Wang Qi may also be the most suitable successor to the Hedong Shi clan. In this way, the Hedong Shi clan occupied Menxia Province, and Fang Xuanling and Guanlong Group of Shandong Shi clan, as well as Du Ruhui, the joint spokesperson of the Guanlong Group, occupied Shangshu Province, and this pattern was basically three-legged. Not only Li Shimin can rest assured, but the Hedong Shi clan can also take the opportunity to support their spokesperson. ”

Shi Bufan scratched his hair, and then he realized that there were so many articles behind it. Shi Bufan felt fortunate to know that it was Wang Qi who took over after Lu Shilian left in the original history, and even Wei Zheng was the spokesperson of the Pei family, so it was easy for Shi Bufan to "reverse deduce" this result from the results in the original history. Otherwise, if he didn't know history, and he wanted to deduce it like this, it would be a headache for his brain. No one thought that a thing that seemed to be unrelated on the surface would have so many articles behind it. Although it may not be directly instructed by Li Shimin, it may also be in line with Li Shimin's ideas and maintain the balance of various factions in the imperial court. Therefore, the Hedong Shi clan may see this and take the initiative to engage in high morale, and Li Shimin may not refuse.

"I think I know how to break the game, and the only way to do it is to let them solve it quickly, so I can solve this problem well. Don't let this implicate me, that's the trouble. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan soon had the idea of cracking it, as long as the relationship network behind it was deduced, it was not difficult to think of the method of cracking, and even in the original history that Shi Bufan was familiar with, he also knew how to crack it. Shi Bufan chose to let this matter be resolved quickly, and did not continue to delay. Once it continues to delay, the two political groups will react, so that the two big groups on both sides will play a game, which will easily cause internal injuries in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Shimin wanted to avoid the game between the two groups, maybe the Hedong Shi clan and the Shandong Shi clan also did not want the two big groups to face each other so directly, and it was normal to sacrifice Shi Bufan as a means to ease the two sides at that time.

What Shi Bufan has to do is to cut through the mess quickly and directly solve this matter as soon as possible. At this time, Shi Bufan already had a plan, that is, to help the Hedong Shi clan and help the Hedong Shi clan to force Lu Shilian to leave. Although Wei Zheng, who represented the Hedong Shi clan this time, took the initiative to engage him, Shi Bufan had to choose to take the initiative to "cooperate" with the Hedong Shi clan to engage in Shi Lian. This is not the time to be rash, there are no eternal friends and enemies in politics, only eternal interests. Although in the long run, the interests of the poor family represented by Shi Bufan are in conflict with the interests of the scholars, but in the short term, he does not mind helping the Hedong scholars to get rid of the Shandong scholars. In short, everything is a compromise in the struggle, a struggle in the compromise, and the time is not so stupid and willful.

What's more, although this kicking out of Gao Shilian may not have been directly instructed or hinted at by Li Shimin, it is definitely something that Li Shimin does not oppose. Don't look at Lu Shilian as Li Shimin's matchmaker and the uncle of Empress Changsun, but he still has to kick him away when he should be kicked away, otherwise how can he be mixed up as an emperor! Supporting kicking out Shi Lian is to a certain extent catering to Li Shimin's ideas. The Hedong Shi clan may have seen this, so they wanted to engage in Shi Lian, and after kicking Lu Shilian away, he went up by himself, which was in line with Li Shimin's idea of maintaining balance on three legs. As for the Jiangnan wealthy clans, they also played soy sauce in the early Tang Dynasty, and they often had no status at the top.

Shi Bufan came directly to the Taiji Palace and directly showed the fish talisman given by Li Shimin to enter and leave the harem at any time.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, what are you doing in this harem?" Princess Runan asked.

"Oh? It's Princess Runan, where are you Concubine Gao Niangniang? Shi Bufan asked.

Princess Runan asked rhetorically: "You are here to find Gao Niangniang, what is the matter?" ”

"Hehe, it's something to find him." Shi Bufan said.

Princess Runan didn't have much suspicion, and took the initiative to inform Concubine Gao Huitong, saying that she was extraordinary and asked to see her. Shi Bufan waited in the reception place of the harem, and the meeting between the minister and the concubine was also in a special reception room, and they could not walk directly into the dormitory. Although the palace ban system in the Tang Dynasty was not so perverted, it did not mean that the foreign ministers could casually enter the concubine's bedroom, so even if they wanted to meet, they had to be in a special reception room. There are maids and eunuchs serving next to the reception room, of course, there is some surveillance, but in short, the court system of the Tang Dynasty is not very strict and perverted.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, this is my Gao Niangniang!" Princess Runan said.

Although Princess Runan was not born to Gao Huitong, she was adopted by Gao Huitong until now, so for Princess Runan, Gao Huitong is definitely closer than her mother. Princess Runan has no memory of her mother at all, and in her memory, Gao Huitong is also her mother, so she is naturally very intimate.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Gao Shufei Gao Huitong asked. (To be continued.) )
