At dusk, Yan Shu slowly walked into the door of his house.

Several of Yan Juhou's brothers, who had been waiting for a long time, surrounded him, and Yan Juhou took the lead and asked, "Father, how is the situation?" Are we really moving? ”

Yan Shu was still bowing his head in contemplation, shook his head silently and continued to move forward.

Yan Juhou asked again: "Father, didn't the Holy One embarrass you?" ”

Yan Shu still shook his head silently, he didn't bother to look at his sons, so he walked to the door of the study with a group of sons before suddenly turning back and saying to Yan Chengyu: "Go and find your brother-in-law, you have something important to discuss for your father!" ”

Yan Chengyu: "Father, my brother-in-law came to resign this afternoon, saying that he would rush back to Luoyang tomorrow for the New Year......

Yan Shu interrupted: "What time is it, I still want to celebrate the New Year, go and call him!" ”

"Ugh! All right! Yan Chengyu pursed his lips before pulling one of the younger brothers and walking out together.

Yan Juhou asked, "Father, what happened?" Look at your frowning, tell the child! ”

"Chongrang, take my brother to play! Father and your brother have something to say. Yan Shu sent away a few younger sons before pulling the eldest son into the study.

Yan Juhou: "Father, what did the saint say when he came to you?" ”

Yan Shu: "Don't be impatient, wait until your brother-in-law comes!" ”

After half a pillar of incense, Fu Bi followed Yan Chengyu to Yan's mansion in a hurry, and came to the study without stopping, and saluted Yan Shu: "Son-in-law to meet Master Yue, I don't know what you are looking for your son-in-law?" ”

Yan Shu: "Xianxu, please take a seat, I heard that you are going back to Luoyang tomorrow, right?" ”

Fu Bi: "Yes, Lord Taishan! The son-in-law has not been home for a long time, and plans to take his wife home tomorrow for the New Year. ”

Yan Shu: "Hmm! It's the right thing to do when you go home. But something has happened for my father, and I may need Xianxu to do it! ”

Fu Bi: "Please tell Taishan, my son-in-law will do his best." ”

Yan Shu: "Okay! Here's the thing, just now, the Holy Lord summoned his father to the palace and decided to depose the old man from his post as prime minister......"

"Huh!?" Three surprised voices came out in unison.

Yan Shu: "Don't look at your father with those eyes, be calm, and listen to your father's words." has been the prime minister for his father for so many years, which really makes many people blush, and it's time to be virtuous. Although the saint said that he deposed his father as prime minister this time, he still let his father serve as the secretary of the criminal department, and also gave his father a big surprise. Therefore, my father has been thinking about this matter, but he still has no clue, so he asked Xianxu to discuss it together. ”

Fu Bi: "Lord Taishan, can you tell me more about what is going on?" ”

Yan Shu: "Of course! Here's the thing......"

Subsequently, Yan Shu told his two sons and sons-in-law exactly what they had discussed in the palace this afternoon.

Fu Bi listened to Yan Shu's words, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, before he said slowly: "Lord Taishan, the little son-in-law still doesn't understand, what is the real intention of the saint's actions?" ”

Yan Shu sighed: "This is also the place where my father has been anxious, if we can't guess the intention of the saint, our party will naturally fall into disadvantage!" ”

Yan Juhou: "Father, do you think this is a ploy by the Holy Lord's civil officials?" The civil official power of our dynasty is too huge, and the current saint likes to be arbitrary, perhaps the saint feels that the civil official has many constraints, and deliberately throws such a bait to let the civil officials pinch themselves? ”

Yan Shu bowed slightly: "Today's father seems to care too much about reputation, but I didn't expect this problem, listening to Hou'er say this, it seems that there is really this possibility!" ”

Fu Bi: "Lord Taishan, my son-in-law thinks that my brother may be thinking a little too much. ”

Yan Shu: "How do you say this?" ”

Fu Bi: "Back to Lord Taishan, to say a big disrespectful word, when my son-in-law first entered the Royal Academy to study, he had specialized in studying the current saint. According to the information collected by the son-in-law, the saint seems to have been gifted since he was a child, and he consciously cultivated his own power when he was a child, especially when the first emperor died, he obtained the power of the government with lightning speed, and won the strong support of a force in the court, presumably he was also prepared.

Judging from this series of things, the saint seems to be very concerned and sensitive to power. However, since the ascendation of the throne, the style of painting seems to have changed all at once. Lord Taishan has been in the position of prime minister almost since the ascendation of the throne, and should be most familiar with the changes in our court. The reorganization of the cabinet, the formation of the Supervisory Yuan, and other changes made the son-in-law have a hazy feeling. Especially when I heard you talk about this party just now, this is something that other dynasties can't hide, and the saint actually blatantly put it on the table, and the son-in-law feels even stronger! ”

Yan Shu stared at him and asked, "What do you feel?" Tell me about it! ”

"Lazy! The saint wants to be lazy! Fu Bi said slowly, word by word.

"Lazy?" Yan Shu said softly, lost in thought.

Yan Chengyu: "Brother-in-law, this can't be!" I think the saint is very diligent today! If the saint wants to be lazy, why don't you have to come up with so many fresh rules? ”

Fu Bi: "Chengyu, have you heard an idiom called once and for all!" ”

Yan Chengyu: "Brother-in-law, are you saying that the saint is doing so much in order to be lazy in the future?" ”

Fu Bi nodded: "I think so. ”

Yan Shu: "The holy will is unpredictable, and we can only gamble!" Hikoku, let's talk about your thoughts! ”

Fu Bi: "Yes, Lord Taishan! The son-in-law believes that after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he reshuffled the cabinet and released some powers, so that the cabinet could handle government affairs more flexibly, and at the same time reduce the workload of the Holy One. However, the Holy Authority may be worried about the exclusive power of the cabinet, and has stripped out the supervisory power and set up a special supervisory yuan, the purpose of which is self-evident. In the final analysis, the meaning of the son-in-law is that the saint wants to be lazy, but he is afraid of chaos! ”

Yan Shu: "Listening to Xianxu say this, it's really like that, since my father became the prime minister, he has done a lot more work than the previous prime ministers, and he has to convene cabinet members every day to discuss the situation, and the saint has a lot of time to linger in the Royal Academy." ”

"No wonder my father's hair has turned gray so quickly over the years!" Yan Chengyu suddenly interjected and quipped.

Yan Shu: "Yu'er, don't interrupt!" Yanguo, tell me more, what do you think we should do? ”

Fu Bi: "Lord Taishan, there are no outsiders here, the son-in-law dares to ask, who is the country of the Great Song Dynasty?" Do you want to be a loyal vassal or a ......?"

Yan Shu arched his hand towards the void: "Of course, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are holy today!" As for being a father, I don't want to be poked in the back! ”

Fu Bi: "My son-in-law understands! In that case, it's simple, let's just do a good job of the role that the Holy Lord needs. ”

Yan Shu: "What's the explanation?" ”

Fu Bi: "Since the saint wants to be lazy with peace of mind, then let's let the saint get his wish." The reason why the Holy One chose you and the two adults to set up three parties is that the little son-in-law thinks that it is nothing more than to stand on three legs, to contain each other without affecting the stability of the country, so that the Holy Lord can really rest assured, right? ”

Fu Bi nodded slightly: "What Xianxu said is reasonable!" So let's briefly discuss the whole charter? ”

"Please command, Father (Tarzan)!" The three of them answered together.

Yan Shu: "First of all, what we need to do is to determine the purpose and name of the party. Second, determine the party structure and the corresponding rules and regulations. The last one is the question of recruitment. Let's first discuss the issue of the purpose and name of the party, judging from our conversation just now, what does the father think of his intention to take 'loyalty' as the purpose of his faction? ”

Fu Bi: "Loyalty, loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the court, loyalty to the country!" The son-in-law thought that using it as the core should be able to pass through the saint, and at the same time, it would be easy to attract loyal people, and the son-in-law felt that it could! ”

Yan Shu: "Well, that's what my father thinks too!" Then the three of you think about it, what name should we use? ”

"I'm the best at choosing a name!" Yan Chengyu jumped out, and without thinking about it, he shouted: "Since we will be loyal, let's call it the loyal party!" ”

"Vulgar! It's vulgar! Yan Juhou took the lead in releasing contempt.

Yan Chengyu didn't dare to do it, and immediately-for-tat: "What a vulgarity!" What a vulgarity! Do you want to be a good one? ”

Fu Bi: "Brother Yu, don't make trouble!" Brother Fool thinks that since our purpose is to be loyal to the country, why don't we call it the Patriotic Party? ”

"This is good! Brother-in-law, this is good! Yan Juhou immediately gave a thumbs up, and glanced at his brother defiantly!

"Humph!" Yan Chengyu gave him a nostril and said, "Sycophant!" ”

Yan Shu: "Don't make trouble, just use the name Yanguo for my father's sake!" As for this framework, the Father intends to refer to the meaning of the Holy Lord, and the highest is the head of the party, and there is a chief deacon and a number of deputy deacons, who are respectively responsible for managing the party's copywriting, maintaining discipline, developing members, and presiding over meetings. That's basically it, as for the details, we are all big girls on the sedan chair once, and only in the future will we continue to improve. ”

Yan Chengyu roared again: "Father, the child should be the chief deacon!" ”

Yan Shu: "Go aside!" This is a major matter related to the country, not child's play, you are too young, wait until you have been sharpened for a while. O Yan Guo, how about my father deliberately let you be this deputy deacon in charge of discipline? ”

Fu Bi: "Me? Lord Taishan, isn't the son-in-law too young? ”

Yan Shu: "You also know the meaning of the saint, if we want the party to develop well, the quality and quantity of party members are very important, in addition, the party program is also very important, once there is a violation, it is very likely to ruin our patriotic party." The Holy One also said that this is an attempt, and if it doesn't work, he will take back all his rights, this is the only opportunity in the ages, and the Father must not let it be destroyed in his own hands! Therefore, this position can only be relieved if the father hands it over to you! ”

Fu Bi: "That...... Then Xiao Xu do his best! ”

……

At the same time, Li Di and Fan Zhongyan were not idle, they were busy discussing the tasks assigned by Zhao Zhen with their respective cronies or trusted friends. If this is a normal thing, it is not uncommon for everyone to gang up in private, but when they really put these things on the table, they suddenly become at a loss.

Not only that, but there is another problem that no one including Zhao Zhen expected, that is, these three people have hit a wall one after another. Even though they all held the holy decree issued by Zhao Zhen, it still made many ministers feel that it was a conspiracy, thinking that the emperor was digging a trap, and they all refused.

In broad daylight, he actually blatantly formed a party, isn't this tired and crooked?

The three of you want to die, don't pull us in!

The three of them were forced to be helpless, so they had to complain to Zhao Zhen. The beginning was so unsmooth, which also hit Zhao Zhen's self-confidence. Zhao Zhen had no other way, so he had to convene a meeting of cabinet ministers, explain it to them face to face, and promised that as long as they did things according to the rules, they would never find fault with the matter of forming a party, so that the matter of forming a party would be carried out.

Although the partisan matter was deliberately arranged by Zhao Zhen to open the valve for progress, this matter was not an overnight matter. It was not until many years later that the three major parties, the Patriotic Party led by Yan Shu, the Qingguo Party led by Li Di, and the Xingguo Party led by Fan Zhongyan, began to slowly emerge in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty.

Under Zhao Zhen's deliberate choice, because the backgrounds of these three people are different, the parties they established are also very different styles. Not to mention the Patriotic Party, it is mainly a concentration camp for conservative forces. Qingguo Party, the reason why Li Di took this name is because he claims to be the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, so the people he selected are naturally some elegant people who move the world, although the number is relatively small, but his influence in the government and the opposition is not small. As for this Rejuvenation Party! Hehe!

Of course, at the moment, all this is just a framework, after Zhao Zhen found three "scapegoats" for himself, he sent secret saucers around, but he sat in the palace and watched the world surge...... (To be continued.) )
