A few pots of cloudy wine, a plate of side dishes.

Lu Zhi sat quietly in his study, pouring and drinking.

As an old friend who has a good relationship with Li Shushi, he no longer has to drink those bitter things, and the wine produced in the state can be said to have everything whether it is cold or mellow, Su Xiaololi can always find a suitable way to brew an irresistible cup of superb, and then let those who want to die in the wine vat of alcoholism rush to help.

It's just that today Lu Zhi didn't intend to taste the mellow sweetness in the wine, but instead tasted the roughness and bitterness hidden in the turbid wine, just like his sad state of mind at this time.

And behind him, Du Ji stood silently on the side.

The turbid wine in the cup was taken by Du Yi from a wine house in a corner of Chang'an City according to Lu Zhi's request, and various impurities were suspended in the wine, and the spicy smell from formaldehyde and methanol made Du Ji, who had tasted the wine, couldn't help frowning.

But Lu Zhi didn't seem to be aware of it, pouring cup after cup into his stomach, even if he was choked and coughed loudly, even if he drank and his body was poisoned, he still didn't care about it, and his depressed appearance made his already haggard face even more sad.

But even in the face of such Lu Zhi, Du Ji, as his staunch supporter, did not show the slightest desire to admonish.

Because Du Ji knew very well in his heart that Lu Zhi was in pain at this time.

It stems from the heartache and sorrow caused by the changes in the court in the past few days.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

In a hazy moment, Lu Zhi seemed to have returned to the court. I saw the impassioned courtiers.

Pointing at the country and scolding Fang Xuan, this kind of happy feeling has not been experienced for a long time. Since the general Dou Wu was killed, the court has always been full of thousands of horses, either becoming the marionettes of the eunuchs, or the palace of the powerful ministers who wantonly spread their dominance.

Even if the mood of these courtiers who are extremely noble in the eyes of the people at this time is compared to "turning over the serfs and singing", it is not an exaggeration, after all, they finally have the feeling of "being the master of the house".

But what?

Perhaps it was precisely because this feeling was so high that their expressions seemed to be a little overdone.

"Please ask Captain Lu to lead the troops to attack the remnants of the Xiliang Army in Wudu, Hanyang, and Longxi."

"Order and state pastor Li Xue to hand over the Dong thief rebel party Li Ru and Zhang Xiu, and lead the army to annihilate the Dong thief rebel party Zhang Ji to be innocent."

"Yuan Shao was appointed as the general of the expedition to the north, leading the military of Youji and Shuo four states. Gongsun Chan was appointed as the assassin of Shuozhou. Deprived Lü Buwei of his post as the Taishou of Wei County, and Xin of Yingchuan was rated as the new Taishou of Wei County. With the Bohai people Gao Lan as the Taishou of Hedong. ”

Although Lu Zhi struggled to resist, more and more similar voices seemed to have formed some kind of consensus among the courtiers.

And as Lu Zhi continued to use his prestige to maneuver, slowly. He now seems to be part of the consensus.

Although Lu Zhi was indeed an impulsive guy when he was young. It is very in line with the style of the Northland boy, but after so many years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, the current Lu Zhi not only has his temper been restrained a lot, but also has considerable experience in political wisdom.

It can be said that what those courtiers who think about Wang Yun are thinking, Lu Zhi doesn't need to think much to think clearly.

Although on the surface, the heaviest loss is naturally Li Shushi, who was deprived of a large amount of land, and even needed to unjustly kill his own trusted generals on unreliable charges. But in fact, looking at the courtiers, there are several relatively unanimous opinions. The person behind each one is actually one. That is the thorn in the flesh of those courtiers, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan!

Isn't it strange and cruel?

It's not unusual, because that's how cruel it is!

In fact, what Wang Yun could see would not be unaware of with Lu Zhi's wisdom and vision. It's just that Lu Zhi, who doesn't have much ambition in his pursuit of power, has no intention of using all the "advantageous shapes" to seek benefits for himself.

In fact, if Lu Zhi really had such a plan, maybe the outcome of the Battle of Qinghe would have changed.

However, even if Lu Zhi's thoughts are said out loud in public, many people will never believe it.

With themselves and others, those people brought themselves into Lu Zhi's position, and basically couldn't refuse the light of temptation emitted by the peak of power that was close at hand, so even if Lu Zhi dug out his heart to others like Bigan, I believe that the vast majority of the evaluations in exchange are definitely not good words such as "this person is loyal and courageous", but "show" and "hypocrisy".

Not to mention that under the impetus of some people, the guidance of public opinion towards Lu Zhi has been formed, and it seems that the top and bottom have been swayed by preconceived impressions, and it will take ten times more energy to reverse it.

After all, it seems that the side that does not have much real power in its hands is the weak, and it is more worthy of people's sympathy, just like those big Vs who face the state machine, no matter whether their remarks are right or wrong, as long as they are working against the government, they can always get a lot of praise, encouragement and support - as long as you think about your daily experience of being pitted by various functional departments and some of the things you have experienced, you will naturally tend to those "Don Quixote" who "dare to challenge the windmill" in the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, Lu Zhi, who has always regarded the reputation festival as the highest pursuit, can imagine the depression in his heart at this time.

Of course, the reason why Lu Zhi is depressed to this kind of Cheng Dù is actually Li Shushi's children's shoes are definitely to blame.

As mentioned before, Lu Zhi's current situation is partly caused by his defense and defense of Li Shushi in the court, and it is his actions that have drawn some ministers who were originally neutral into the camp of the hostile side.

After all, in the eyes of the courtiers, Li Shushi is definitely the second Dong Zhuo's reserve, and he and Dong Zhuo have too many similarities in terms of background, growth experience, and attitude and means towards the powerful family.

Although Li Shushi's reputation in Shilin was not as bad as Dong Zhuo's after the Luoyang Massacre, his actions under his rule still dissatisfied the family of gatekeepers, who were at the top of public opinion and who believed that they should be the sole controllers of the country. Although certain compromises were then made. However, because of the existence of the imperial examination system with Li Shushi's characteristics, Li Shushi's actions such as establishing official schools and popularizing children's education have become conspiracy to replace the gate valve system.

Well, in fact, there is not too much mistake in saying this, Li Shushi's actions were indeed measures taken against the gate valve family, who made those people resist him in every way. Later, although the relationship eased, and even some families began to actively integrate into Li Shushi's official education system, the dominant power of this system was still in Li Shushi's hands.

But such a person who has a rather arrogant attitude towards the gate lord family has soldiers and generals, and has inextricable links with the Xiliang Army, if this person stands up and raises his arms and shouts, the courtiers believe that the Xiliang Army will not ignore the voice of this person, not to mention that Dong Zhuo also asked Li Ru to defect to Li Shushi with his granddaughter before he died. The political meaning of this is ......

It can be said that the courtiers may be incompetent in other respects. But when it comes to court battles and attacks against the enemy, they never mind speculating on the enemy's purpose with the most malicious ideas, and taking it as the criterion for their actions.

And those neutrals also believe that as an important minister of the court promoted by the first emperor Liu Hong, Li Shushi did not drive away Dong Zhuo, who was the traitor of the country. Moreover, they formed an alliance with them to fight against the hope of the imperial court's recovery, the alliance of the Kwantung princes. This is absolutely a big rebellion.

So. Maintaining such a Lu Zhi, who is also a traitor, is also a storage zài who should be defeated.

As for whether Li Shushi struck at the ambitious alien races on the grassland and once again showed the national prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, those courtiers would selectively ignore it, after all, as long as the political line was wrong. Then those credits are just the rebel thieves' show off of their strength, maybe in their eyes, the Xianbei people are the obedient people of the Han Dynasty, even if they enter the state and kill 180,000 people, it is just an unavoidable casualty in the process of crusading against the rebels.

Cixi Lafayette probably didn't want to come with such a mentality.

Of course, Li Shushi, who indulged in the Yellow Turban Army and exterminated those powerful families who gave himself eye medicine, did not have much position to blame others.

This is all the darkest side of politics.

But this makes Lu Zhi, who has just killed Dong Zhuozheng full of ambition and wants to burn the last bit of strength for the big man, how can he stand it, he has the intention to kill the enemy but has no power to return to the sky, and now he can only drink at home, and continue his dream in a drunken dream.

By the way, I also completely forgot all the things born in the real world.

It's just that the qiē born in the real world obviously does not depend on the will of the individual.

The disputes in the court naturally spread through various channels and spread to the tables of the princes from all walks of life.

"It seems that there is no 'fly swatter' from Dong Zhongying, and the flies have started to make noise again."

"Didn't the lord have expected the current situation, and didn't the prince have already made a conclusion."

"I just feel a little sorry for Lu Gong. But those flies are so deceitful, do you really think you can control a qiē? Well, I was thinking about whether to give my old friend a heads-up, but now it seems that it is necessary. ”

Wang Yun's actions really made Li Shushi feel angry, after all, the emperor was far away in Chang'an and was not under the nose of Bingzhou, and when Lu Zhi was unwilling to turn his face with Wang Yunqing, who was still a comrade-in-arms a while ago, he was indeed powerless.

However, what Wang Yun can do to the state is only to add blockage.

It must be known that the current Li Shushi is no longer the hairy boy of the past, as he continues to win victories in the southern and northern wars and the eastern and western expeditions, his prestige has gradually been established under the help of some well-intentioned people. At least until a major defeat is undertaken, his deterrent power will not be diminished, and anyone who is hostile to him in his area will have to weigh his own strength first.

At the same time, today, a few years after entering the state, Li Shushi's control over the state is far from being comparable to that day, and his reputation in the state is no less than that of those scholars, and even in the minds of the people, Li Shushi, who strives to develop the economy of the state and let the people of the state get a better life, and has the ability to protect this life, has a higher reputation than those ethereal Confucians.

Especially for those aliens who have gradually integrated into the state, Li Shushi's prestige has reached an unprecedented level, so that they have obtained a good life that they could not imagine before. In particular, Li Shushi's fair, just and open-minded attitude has especially added to this process. Even though some Han Chinese people were incomprehensible to the constant influx of displaced people and aliens, it is precisely because of Li Shushi's justice and the power to guarantee justice that they are now familiar with such a new environment and are proud of it.

Of course, such behavior will naturally damage the interests of those local families at first, but when the two sides gradually compromise and reach a fusion dominated by Li Shushi, those who are willing to take the initiative to get closer to the powerful families have obtained far past benefits, and those families who are unwilling to confront Li Shushi have gradually adapted to the new changes.

Especially after the gradual transformation of the merger of states into an expansion policy, these families who initially followed could expect more benefits, which naturally strengthened their position and aroused their enthusiasm to cooperate with Li Shushi more.

As for those families who are unwilling to cooperate or even disobey the yin and yang, they are secretly provoked by Jia Xu. Even if the elders of the family can do it alone. But the young people kept falling into the trap that had been prepared for a long time. And these families who don't know the current affairs have naturally become the meal on the plate of the new interest group with Li Shushi as the core.

It is precisely because of such confidence that Li Shushi can face the suppression from Chang'an so indifferently.

After all, even the children of Wang Yun's own family, the Wang family of Qi County, faced the call of Chang'an, and they all broke up their relationship and rushed to express their loyalty to Li Shushi, and the rest of the families couldn't make any waves even if they really didn't open their eyes.

Jia Xu, who has Li Ru's help in this regard. That's definitely a big deal. The ability is growing exponentially.

But. Always let this group of people in Chang'an can't do their business, and it's not a matter of worrying about themselves every day, there are Jia Xu and Li Ru, two old foxes from Xiliang. It's time to sober up the group of courtiers.

Well, don't forget that there is also the old man Yan Zhongyan, who is also famous in Xiliang, and this appeal in Xiliang is also extremely strong.

Li Shushi has such confidence that he has been made depressed by the group of courtiers in Chang'an who can't tell the reality, and you can imagine what kind of undercurrent is surging in Chang'an City now.

Although Lu Zhi did not intend to openly confront Wang Yun and his party in the interest of the overall situation and his friendship for many years, this did not mean that the subordinates he brought to Chang'an from Shuozhou would be as peaceful as him.

In fact, as the decisions made by Wang Yun in the court continued to spread through various channels, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of those young people from Shuozhou had accumulated more and more, so much so that Cheng Dù could be ignited with just one fuse.

And among this group of disgruntled young people, there is a group of people who are particularly dissatisfied.

This group of people are the children of the Xihe Li family who followed Lu Zhijing.

Of course, among some of the older generation, there are quite a few complaints about Tong Yuan's stubborn stuffing of a child who does not have the Xihe Li bloodline, not to mention that this child has also become the heir of the Xihe Li family, which makes people feel even more angry and even angry.

It's just that compared with the older generation's maintenance of the purity of the family bloodline, the younger generation's resistance is much smaller, because most of them watched Li Shushi fight wheel wars with various aliens in Xihe and win them one by one, and even destroyed the fox and fake tiger and killed the Xianbei king Shan Yu Helian, step by step to today's status.

Li Shushi and his fierce subordinates left a deep impression on these young people.

In a family like Xihe, which is located on the border and is greatly influenced by Hu Feng, the strength of the family has far greater weight in speech and decision-making than the Central Plains family, and Li Shushi is strong enough, he is the idol and direction of the young people of the Li family in Xihe.

By the way, the reason why it is said that the old stubbornness is only a small part is because Tong Yuan's heroic appearance back then also left a deep impression on their generation and even the next generation. And Tong Yuan's achievements are not as good as the current Li Shushi.

The most important thing is that with the gradual rise of Li Shushi and Lu Zhi's operation in Shuozhou, these children of families who were originally excluded from the mainstream circle of Shilin also have an easier chance to get ahead.

But now, both Lu Zhi and Li Shushi have been suppressed by the courtiers with Wang Yunwei, which is not only the oppression of their idols, but also an obstacle to their promotion.

A lot of people's money and blocking people's promotions is really a grudge like killing their parents, not to mention that the killing of Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi also made a lot of efforts, how can you let this group of young people swallow this breath?

So, they chose a similar way to Lu Zhi to express their emotions - drinking.

It's just that the only thing that is different from Lu Zhi, who drinks sullenly at home, is that Lu Zhi drinks to anesthetize his unhappiness of forgetting reality; But this group of young people who are not afraid of heaven and earth gather to drink, even if the purpose is simple, but the result......

In a liquor shop in the west city of Chang'an.

Although Chang'an in the late Eastern Han Dynasty has long been unable to be compared with Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty, and the once lively and glorious West Market has now become sparse, but with the return of the Western Liang Army with the people and wealth of Luoyang, the originally cold West Market has also become a little more lively. In particular, the liquor shop has become extremely popular with the influx of a large number of soldiers and a large amount of fresh materials provided by the "criminals" who have been exterminated.

Even now, when the Xiliang Army has been basically wiped out, this is still a place where residents living in Chang'an are happy to linger.

Because it is isolated from the outside world, you can completely relax your mind here, even if you are a wandering wreck, you don't have to be as well-dressed as the outside world, and you no longer have to follow the rules of conduct called "gentleman" like the outside.

Here, you can find your own world and dominate the world that belongs to you.

And on a cold evening, the restaurant welcomed a special group of guests. (To be continued......)
