Jinghe Chao Shoufu Zhang Ruoyu slowly walked to the top of the class, and felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. The years are unforgiving, and his sick body probably won't last long.

Watching the Shoufu Lord who had been killed out of thin air in the crowd return to his position, Li You's handsome face with the youngest in the hall gradually became serious, and there was a hint of gloom.

In recent months, he has relied on the support of foreign courts, the connivance of the Queen Mother, and Chitose's private affairs, and has only done his ministry unscrupulously. During this period, there were not too many conflicts and contradictions between his backers, so there was almost no need to choose a side.

Looking at this today, he may need to make some choices. If the Shoufu boss was moved from the hospital bed by the Queen Mother, then his thoughts would be revealed... Things are not so simple, Li You shifted his gaze from Zhang Shoufu diagonally to Scholar Xu. Xu Ge Lao is a very weak scholar in the cabinet, and he usually looks at Peng Ge Lao as the leader, but today he is obviously more exposed than Peng Ge Lao, which is abnormal.

After Shousuke arrived, Master Li suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard. Xu Yue is Zhang Shoufu's protégé, although his qualifications were almost there, but he was cited by Shoufu and entered the cabinet by the Queen Mother. And because he is not very convincing to the public, he has little right to speak, and he is often attached to Peng Gelao.

That's where it comes in... Lord Li was thinking about it here, but over there, he saw Zhang Shoufu open his mouth and said, "How can Weifu be in the air?" This omission should be refuted! ”

This kind of tone of imitating the king's words can only be said by Shoufu, and others cannot learn it.

Empress Dowager Qian was silent on the throne, her eyes patrolling the ministers back and forth. If she nodded immediately, it would be too premeditated and impatient, and under normal circumstances, she always had to make a show to give everyone time to speak. Wait for Zhu Qing to say a few words, and then make a decision, it will look better on the face, and there will be no criticism of not being good at accepting advice.

At this kind of sensitive time, the big guy is generally very cautious, so as not to be caught. Therefore, according to the convention, lower-ranking officials often go into battle first to express their opinions, but today the officials of science and technology are collectively dumbfounded.

No one on either side can afford to provoke, one side is the famous Shoufu, who has been a big country for more than ten years, and the Queen Mother of Heaven must be honored as an old gentleman. Although the other party is weaker, he is the current official of the Ministry of Heaven who upholds the Quanzheng government, and there is also the head of the Kedao Zuodu Yushi behind him, and it is during the Jingcha period, as the saying goes, the Yunxian officials are not as good as the current management, and it is still possible to initiate a ruthless dismissal of a few people.

The more mixed this thing is, the faster it will die, so it's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb... The needle drop in the Wuying Hall can be heard, like a silent night, if it is silent like this, of course, it will be beneficial to Shousuke. Again, no one can oppose it is a victory.

Zhang Ruoyu, who stood with his body strong, was slightly complacent, even if he didn't go to court for two years, he still kept his word, and the ministers were here, what more could they ask for!

At this time, more than a dozen eyes fell on a young six-grade official in the first middle school under the train. The powerful combat power of this temple star in the court has been unanimously recognized by the Manchu Dynasty, and it is the sharpest spokesperson for Xu Shangshu when it is inconvenient to speak.

At the moment, everyone seems to take it for granted that he should sacrifice his life to come out, including Lord Xu. It's a bit of a long-awaited meaning, Lord Li doesn't go out to stir and stir up, I'm sorry for the audience who are full of expectations... Of course, he could choose to remain silent and explain helplessly afterwards, but he still secretly gritted his teeth and moved out of the ranks after making up his mind.

However, Lord Li unexpectedly did not have a direct conversation with the old Shoufu, or did not pay attention to the Shoufu, and did not even make a gesture as a courtesy, and went directly to the side and said to the Queen Mother: "Li You, the scholar of the minister, is careful to play, Xu Shangshu's Jingcha Shu has not yet been agreed and disturbed, I don't know how the Holy Mother wants to answer?" Whether it is accurate and clear to the world! ”

As a book in the sub-vote, he is naturally qualified to ask how to deal with it. But as soon as this remark came out, everyone knew that Lord Li meant to force the palace to the Queen Mother, and the first assistant said that it should be rejected, but Li Zhongshu asked if it was accurate, each with its own meaning, and they were-for-tat with each other.

So far, the Queen Mother's attitude is still very vague on the surface, and she has not clearly said what she wants, which can be regarded as the way of the king. Lord Li's invitation is to force the Queen Mother to make a public statement.

Zhang Shoufu was a little stunned, and he couldn't imagine that someone would completely ignore him, as if what he had said did not exist. In fact, he hasn't been out for two years, and others are still afraid of his aftermath. But Li You, a newcomer to the imperial court, had never seen him before, so he didn't feel it personally, and he couldn't talk about being afraid or not.

"Who are you? Dare to speak presumptuously! Zhang Shoufu reprimanded.

When it comes to this, you still have to face it... Li You turned to Lao Shoufu, and his mouth became aggressive, "Who is talking nonsense?" If you are not in your position, you will not seek politics, although the boss is in power, but he has not asked about political affairs for two years, but he does not know that the mountain side has been in the world for a thousand years? So at this time, it is better to listen and see more, to know is to know, and not to know is not to know! Don't speak rashly, disrupt the court and public discussion, be the laughing stock of the world, and the lower officials will not be taken by the boss! ”

The dignified Shoufu was accused by Li You, a young character who had never seen it from nowhere, and laughed instead of being angry: "In your opinion, the old man can't talk here?" ”

Who is more afraid of Li You, "If the boss is indifferent to the world, recuperates from illness, and closes his doors, he does not forget to secretly worry about the society and quietly care about the current situation, and when he suddenly goes to the palace, he can be called the heart of the country and a model for my generation!" ”

It's a positive word, but it is ironic when combined. Not only for Shousuke, but also for everyone in the temple.

Zhang Ruoyu is worthy of being a national veteran who has seen countless storms, and when Lord Li thought he was going to provoke the other party, he saw that the old man and the old man passed Li You lightly, and said to the Empress Dowager Qian: "Please judge the saint." ”

The Empress Dowager Cisheng didn't want to continue to drag her feet in this matter, so she simply made it clear: "Xu Zhishu Jingcha is sparse... There are many implications, suspicion of cheats, rejection of re-verification, and identification of re-enactment. ”

She finally clearly picked out her attitude and gave the ministers a weather vane - now is the time to suppress Xu Tianguan.

Li You's goal of forcing Empress Dowager Qian to express her position seems to have been achieved, but the calculation of dragging the old Shoufu into the quagmire with ridicule must have failed... This result is a failure, and even Master Li can't save the situation?

didn't care about Li You, the clown who jumped the beam, and let him stand there in a daze thinking about something, although many people wondered why Li You didn't retreat, but no one drove him away. The Queen Mother continued to inquire about Shoufu and said: "The old gentleman is coming to alarm the court with his illness today, but what does it matter? ”

The old Shoufu then said: "The cabinet system has not been complete for a long time, and it is all foolish and wrong, and it is said that entering the palace is for this matter today." ”

A low exclamation sounded in the hall, it turned out that this was the highlight of the day!

Hearing that all the ministers in the palace quickly calculated, Li You also thought about the four scholars in addition to the current cabinet chief assistant in his mind - Yuan Lide, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, was promoted into the cabinet by the first emperor and other important ministers of the foreign dynasty.

In terms of the order of official positions, of course, Yuan, Peng, Xu, and Yang. But when it comes to actual influence and power, it is Peng, Yuan, Yang, and Xu, and the Xu Ge Lao with the worst qualifications should be the last to accompany him, and even the Yang Ge Lao who is lower than him is not as good. From this point of view, Xu Ge Lao and the most powerful Peng Ge Lao have formed an alliance, and the combination of one strong and one weak is still relatively complementary and stable.

In addition, there is also Xu Tianguan, what he wants is to rely on Tingtui to cross the scholars in the cabinet, and directly advance to the vacant Jianji Hall scholars, that is, the second assistant, and it will be convenient to replace the first assistant in the future. Kyocha is just a means of building momentum to achieve this goal.

Xu Tianguan still needs to plan and plan with great effort, but Zhang Shoufu, a generation of national elders and ministers, does not need to be so roundabout, he only needs to be upright and upright.

Therefore, the old first assistant was not vain, and directly proposed to fill the vacancy, and it is estimated that the next candidate will be introduced to rule out the possible surname of Xu Tianguan's second assistant, which can be regarded as a direct point.

This situation makes Li Zhongshu very worried, Xu Tianguan is unlucky, and he will definitely follow the bad luck, which is the sequelae of hugging his thighs. If Xu Tianguan kept the real key position of the Ministry of Officials, it would be fine, and there would be no loss if he didn't enter the cabinet. But the matter has come to this point, will the Queen Mother continue to let Xu Tianguan control the power of selecting and evaluating officials?

Of course, it is too difficult to dismiss the official directly, and it can be regarded as a complete tear of the face, and it is expected that the Queen Mother will not do this, but for this situation, there have been solutions in the officialdom for thousands of years.

But Master Li stayed in the inner court for half a year, and he also understood some of the operating mechanisms in the imperial court. Even he could guess that if the Queen Mother joined forces with the first assistant and pushed Peng Chunshi or Xu Yue to the position of the second assistant, the other scholars would be carried forward in turn, and finally the last Dongge scholar would be vacated. Then Jian Ba or the court to promote the adults to enter the cabinet, it is equivalent to rising and descending.

At that time, how much real power can Lord Xu, the last scholar who is not trusted by the inner court, the first assistant, and the second assistant, have? I'm afraid it's not as good as the current Xu Ge Lao.

Xu Shangshu had mixed feelings in his heart, he claimed to have no last resort, and calculated step by step to this day, not wanting to be caught off guard by the Queen Mother. I have always cooperated very well with the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and we are happy with each other, how did it become like this? Even if he enters the cabinet and sorts out state affairs in charge of the dynasty, isn't it the same subject to the king's criticism? The cabinet always needs someone to call the shots, and he, a collaborator, is worse than others?

There is always some reason for this, Xu Tianguan suddenly remembered one thing... Empress Dowager Qian has two elder brothers, the eldest brother inherited the title of Marquis of Xinning, but the second brother has never been knighted. Last year, Empress Dowager Qian wanted to confer the title of second brother, and he, a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, considered his own prestige and resisted this will on the grounds that a national relative should not have two titles. The female middle Yao Shun is just talking?

In today's plan, this is the only way, Xu Tianguan secretly has a countermeasure. If you don't have your own share in the selection of the second assistant, then find a way to push Yuan Ge Lao, who is backed by the eldest princess, to push it up! The reasons are not explained.

Just as Xu Shangshu raised his head, he saw Li You, who was still standing in front of His Majesty, glared at him, what the hell did this guy want to do? Out of trust in Li You's brilliant achievements, Xu Shangshu stabilized his mind and waited for the changes.

Zhang Shoufu felt that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and when he coughed and was about to speak, Li Zhongshu took a step forward and said loudly to the Queen Mother: "The minister has another matter!" The Son of Heaven is old, and there is no master in the harem, please get married this year! ”

Fang Shoufu's recital only provoked a few low exclamations, and this time Master Li's recital can be called an uproar in the hall.

Lao Shoufu's face froze, he had been through turmoil for a long time, he was old and old, he understood what Li You was thinking like lightning, and scolded shameless people in his heart!

The ministers in the palace all knew that at the age of the Son of Heaven, it was indeed time to get married. But the marriage of the Son of Heaven is not only a matter of life, but also has a deep political meaning. It not only symbolizes the sincerity and benevolence of the Son of Heaven, but also extends the meaning that you can be pro-government... That's the most important part.

But everyone is not sure about the queen mother's thoughts, and they are still waiting to see this, the lesson of the six prisoners hanging up last year is still vivid, and the minister will not hang up but it is also very distressing to lose an official.

Unexpectedly, Lord Li threw out the topic at this moment, and soon most people realized that Li You was using this matter to suppress the issue of Shousuke's proposal to make up for the vacancy of the bachelor's seat, what other issue in the world could be more important than the marriage of the Son of Heaven?

Whoever dares to say that it is more important to make up for the lack of scholars, Master Li can reprimand him with a high-sounding sound that he only cares about fighting for power and profit, despising the Son of Heaven, neglecting the country, and being a courtier in vain, and his crime is unforgivable!

Of course, not only that, Xu Shangshu, who had already received a hint, suddenly stood up and echoed: "The ministers are invited to the Holy Lord to get married!" ”

Now almost everyone understands that Li You's move is to make a good bird choose a tree and rest! Since the Queen Mother abandoned Xu Shangshu's party, then they completely fell to the Son of Heaven, tied themselves to the Son of Heaven, and made a contribution to the dragon by urging the Son of Heaven to pro-government!

"The ministers are invited to the Holy Lord's wedding!" Zhao Liangren, the imperial history of the left capital, also stood up.

Yuan Lide, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, suddenly realized something, and the position of the first assistant or second assistant was beckoning to him. Immediately overjoyed, seeing Li You's unprecedentedly pleasing eyes, he immediately came out and said: "The ministers are invited to the Holy Lord's wedding!" ”

Even Yuan Ge Lao and his rival Li Zhongshu merged with each other? Others were both surprised and reasonable... Li Zhongshu came up with a stroke of genius and ingeniously tied up Lord Xu's side and the wedding of the Son of Heaven, not only suppressing the issue of the old Shoufu, but also connecting the old Yuan Ge on the spot... Yang Jin, a scholar of Dongge University, looked at Li You and smiled bitterly, and also said, "The ministers are invited to the Holy Lord to get married..."

Many people sighed in their hearts, the two scholars of the inner court plus the two giants of the outer court, the officials of the Ministry of Heaven and the imperial history of the Zuodu, this lineup can be called luxurious, and it is really possible to succeed. It's a pity that the first credit is that of Li Zhongshu again.

Thinking back to Li Zhongshu just now, he knew that he would be defeated, but he also forced the Queen Mother to express his position, was it deliberate? Now it seems that it is not to force the Queen Mother to express her position, but to force the Queen Mother to personally draw a line with Lord Xu and announce it to the public?

In other words, whoever dares to support the Queen Mother and Shoufu again is against Lord Xu, and whoever may be considered to be against the marriage of the Son of Heaven, who has reached the age of age. The consequences will probably not be too serious, but they will be remembered by the eldest princess and the Son of Heaven.

This man's scheming is truly unfathomable... Zhang Shoufu, who was the first to figure out Li You's thoughts, felt a little dizzy and scolded again, shameless!

After everyone couldn't see the bead curtain clearly, Empress Dowager Qian's face was already angry, she felt that she had shown countless favors to Li You, and she was like this today?

Lord Li didn't know that this would definitely anger the Queen Mother, who had always been good to him, but there was no way.

The Son of Heaven is sixteen or seventeen, Zhang Shoufu is more than seventy, and Peng Ge is sixty-four; And Xu Tianguan is only fifty-one, and Zhao Zongxian is only fifty-three... These ages are put together, and the contrast is too stark. If today's position is not firm and is considered to have fallen to the Queen Mother, if it is said that the first assistant is the first pawn in the future, and the Son of Heaven is in power, who should I find to cry?

Others who have nothing to do with each other may be able to be used as a wall grass, but Li You is definitely not good.
