Jingshi City, Lu Zongcheng's mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Like Xu Hongqian's mansion, Lu Zongcheng's mansion gathered Zhejiang party officials today. Lu Zongcheng is widely regarded as the only political opponent qualified to compete with Xu Hongqian.

The Qin Party is an emerging party that has only risen since the Three Dynasties, while the Zhejiang Party has a long history. Since the beginning of the country, the Zhejiang Party has been a very strong party in the center. For a time, it continues to this day, and the Zhejiang Party is still the second largest party in this dynasty.

The reason for this phenomenon is related to the number of jinshi in various places. The proportion of Jinshi in the northwest has always been very low, and the probability of people in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places being able to get the Jinshi is very low.

Therefore, there was no Qin Party at all before, and it was only after Xu Hongqian came to power that the Qin Party began to raise its head. Incidentally, in the past few decades, the number of Jinshi among the people raised in Qin has increased significantly compared with before, and there have also been powerful ministers like Peng Chaodong. Since then, the Qin Party has established a dominant position in the DPRK.

As for the Zhejiang Party, due to the strong literary style in Nanzhili and Zhejiang Fujian, the probability of Jinshi in these places is much higher than that in other regions.

In addition, the officials of the dynasty pay attention to regional relations, and officials from the same region can easily unite and form a party. As a result, the Zhejiang Party was formed and lasted for nearly 300 years.

In many cases, due to the large number of Zhejiang officials in the DPRK and China. The Zhejiang Party was once the most powerful party in the DPRK. It is a shame for the Zhejiang Party to be in second place.

As the leader of this generation of the Zhejiang Party, Lu Zongcheng has always taken the revitalization of the Zhejiang Party as his own responsibility. Let the Zhejiang Party replace the Qin Party and re-emerge as the largest party in the DPRK.

In order to realize this dream, Lu Zongcheng can do whatever it takes.

"Peng Chaodong has entered Beijing, and the emperor still trusts Peng Chaodong very much." Yi Tian, one of the core figures of the Zhejiang Party, was the first to speak. Aim your fire at Peng Chaodong.

Song Yuren still trusted Peng Chaodong when Peng Chaodong was suspected of collaborating with the enemy to negotiate peace, and even went out of the city gate to personally greet Peng Chaodong and the Qin army. The people of Jingshi City all knew about it.

Now, in the eyes of Zhejiang Party officials, the overthrow of Peng Chaodong has been equated with the overthrow of the Qin Party. Party struggle has entered a state of blindness and unrestrainedness. All for the sake of bringing down political opponents.

National interests have been put on the back burner.

"This time the Liao army was able to enter the customs, it seems that the Liao army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qin army to break through the border and enter the customs, but in fact, Peng Chaodong collaborated with the enemy, and raised thieves to cause this captive mutiny." As the leader of the Zhejiang Party, Lu Zongcheng was sharp, and pointed all the spearheads of the Liao army's entry into the customs at Peng Chaodong.

Ten years ago, Lu Zongcheng once followed the old path of emulating Xu Hongqian, Xu Hongqian controlled the power in the center, and Peng Chaodong stabilized the frontier in the local area. Maintain the stability of the ruling order of the empire, and at the same time maintain the stability of its own position.

Lü Zongcheng's Peng Chaodong was Gao Guang, the former governor of Liaodong. During Gao Guang's tenure, he did quite a beautiful job of stabilizing Huguang, solving the problem of Huguang that had been a headache for a long time after leaving the imperial court, and even won the praise of the local people.

Gao Guang's achievements in Huguang made Gao Guang once a feudal official comparable to Peng Chaodong. Lu Zongcheng, who recommended Gao Guang as the governor of Huguang, also had a bright face.

It is precisely because of this that after Gao Guang returned to Beijing, Lu Zongcheng once again recommended Gao Guang to be the governor of Liaodong, and Gao Guang agreed to Lu Zongcheng's suggestion after some consideration because of his political achievements when he became the governor of Huguang. Gao Guang was able to successfully serve as the governor of Liaodong.

The rise of Lu Zongcheng and Gao Guang made Xu Hongqian faintly aware of the crisis. Of course, Xu Hongqian couldn't allow Lu Zongcheng and Gao Guang to gradually gain momentum, and finally rode on his head. Xu Hongqian will do whatever it takes to keep his achievements for many years, and once the Zhejiang Party rises its head, it will be difficult for the Qin Party to get a chance to rise in the DPRK and China.

Lu Zongcheng's targeting of Peng Chaodong today, in addition to the party strife, another very important reason is that in the Zhao Liao War in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, due to Xu Hongqian's framing, his protégé, Gao Guang, was defeated and sentenced to death.

There is another reason why Lu Zongcheng wants to kill Peng Chaodong by any means today: he wants to avenge Gao Guang's one-arrow revenge for being framed by Xu Hongqian. Xu Hongqian cut off his left and right arms, and he also wanted to cut off Xu Hongqian's left and right arms.

"Shaowen (Lu Zongcheng character Shaowen)." Su Ke saw that Lu Zongcheng was emotional, and stood up and said, Su Ke himself is very disgusted with party disputes, if Su Ke is the reason for the Zhejiang Party is due to his unavoidable identity from Zhejiang, Su Ke has been branded by the Zhejiang Party since he was a child, Su Ke's enlightenment mentor is an official of the Zhejiang Party who has returned to his hometown, Su Ke's teachers, colleagues, and even later protégés are all Zhejiang Party officials without exception, in this case, no one will believe Su Ke even if Su Ke tries his best to defend himself that he is not a Zhejiang Party official.

"The Liao army has not retreated yet, it is still outside the city, the Jingshi City is in danger, and now is not the time to talk about this issue." The biggest difference between Su Ke and the Zhejiang Party officials and the Qin Party officials is that Su Ke was not blinded by the party struggle, and in the face of the party struggle, Su Ke still maintained a sense of sanity.

Now that Jingshi City is the most capable of repelling the Liao army, it is obviously unwise to dig up Peng Chaodong now. There are still rational officials in the Zhejiang Party, but after all, these rational officials are only a minority, and they cannot change the overall situation.

"I also agree with Su Ke's point of view." Liang Bangjie, the imperial history of the left capital, stood up to Su Ke, and Liang Bangjie's life trajectory was about the same as Su Ke. Liang Bangjie knows very well that the Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party are incompatible, this is a fact that no one can change, but the party struggle also depends on the situation. The final beneficiary was not the Qin Party, nor did he say the Zhejiang Party, but the Liao army outside the city.

"Now that the war is imminent, the safety of Jingshi City, the safety of the emperor is important, and the Jiangshan Sheji of Dazhao is important!" Liang Bangjie said, "Even if Qin Dang and Peng Chaodong are tens of millions of differences, we can't start at this time." ”

Liang Bangjie and Su Ke are both officials who hate party strife, but their backgrounds have doomed them to be unable to break away from the barrier of party strife. This is their last dying struggle in the face of nearly 300 years of party struggle.

Not surprisingly, Liang Bangjie and Su Ke's statements were attacked by most Zhejiang party officials. Not all Zhejiang party officials are as sober as they are, including Lu Zongcheng.

"Bang Jie, Shaowen, have you forgotten how Xu Hongqian treated Gao Guangsheng a year ago?"

Xu Hongqian said coldly. (To be continued.) )
