"Pivotal!"

"Go away, the old man is fine!"

Li Qingchen pushed his subordinates, and at this time he came to care, just now the old man was almost harmed by the traitor Zhang Dian, where are you? He leaned against the Nanmu pillar in the main hall, panting in shock, secretly annoyed: "The old man almost died!" ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhang Dian left angrily, and Li Qingchen covered his chest with a look of fear.

Fortunately, Zhang Dian didn't dare to fight in the court, otherwise, he, the prime minister, would have fallen into a notorious reputation for misconduct. However, there is a great terror between life and death, and Li Qingchen was just before that, and he exactly felt the despair of terror hitting like destroying a city.

Where is the old man's gold medal guard!

If An Tao wasn't there, An could have made Zhang Duan so arrogant?

It was impossible to fight, but Li Qingchen was also choked by Zhang Dun. If An Tao was here, there would be no need for Li Qingchen to stand up, An Tao would stand in front of Zhang Dian and despise Zhang Dian with eyes that look at the world, as if to say: "Come on! Kill me! The old man is dead to show you! ”

An Tao is definitely not Zhang Dian's opponent, but An Tao dares to die, so he asks Zhang Tao if he is afraid!

An Tao is a ruthless person from Yushitai, a villain in this place, but the most mass-produced person is stunned, and he doesn't take his life seriously at all, An Tao is such a character. Sex is like fire, but the weak force is like a chicken, if he is relied on, he will not shed his skin, and he will not want to get out.

Li Qingchen is much worse than An Tao, his momentum is not as good as An Tao, and Zhang Dan came suddenly, his mentality collapsed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost a big face in the court.

Of course, Zhang Dian is not comfortable, Li Qingchen is not an opponent in a fight, and Zhang Dian is far from being able to scold Huai. The two are evenly matched. Especially this old puppeteer's method of writing articles and scolding people is really clever? Looking at how many Cai Bian have the best literary talents in the Fa Changing School? is not Lao Li's opponent.

Imperial City, Metropolitan Hall.

Yang Wei followed behind Zhang Dan? smiled bitterly: "Xiangye? Before you were impulsive. ”

"The old man was also mad, I didn't expect Li Qingchen to be so hateful? In order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to bring in Lu Dafang. "Zhang Dun is indignant? Then he shook his head and doubted: "Isn't it?" The officials should also know about this matter, and they should have reached a tacit understanding. ”

"Xiangye, do you mean that both the Imperial City Division and the Staff Division have obtained the flying pigeon express sent from Qingtang? And then deliberately pressed it so that I could wait to hit my head on it? Yang Wei was surprised? To say that Li Qingchen did this? Totally possible.

Zhang Dian sighed: "The official family is dissatisfied with the distribution of power. ”

Yang Wei frowned, and couldn't hide his uneasiness in his heart: "In this way, there will be problems with the implementation of the law change." Although he said this, he thought more in his heart, is the emperor not slow to Zhang Dun?

"Out of the way? Lu Dafang is still a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He can endure in front of the prince, and naturally he can endure in front of the old man. As long as the old man does a better job than him. Besides? Now that all the changes have been implemented, Lu Dafang? I can't lift the wind wolf. Zhang Dan's tone was quite disdainful, and he made the mistake of looking down on people again. What fueled his temper flare? And the Great Song Dynasty's successive victories over Western Xia and the land of Hehuang? So that Zhang Duan will not be guilty of small mistakes in the short term? and was impeached.

However, Zhang Dian looked down on Lu Dafang's reaction, which made Yang Wei complain.

This makes Yang Wei very worried, Lu Dafang became the prime minister earlier than you, why do you look down on others?

But these words can only be buried in my heart, the treacherous and cunning Yang Wei is not an impulsive Xing Shu, and he jumps forward at every turn. He was sandwiched between the reformers and the conservatives, showing favor at both ends, but he was repeatedly promoted, he was originally a reed faction, and he didn't know if he could go back when the conservatives were strong?

The only thing that makes Zhang Dian uncomfortable is that his performance as prime minister does not seem to be very good. Except for the success of the Western Xia and the land of the river, he achieved nothing.

Once the Western Army relieves the two major troubles of Western Xia and Qingtang, the northwest, which occupies about 40% of the taxes, will not need a large amount of military spending and materials at all. The government was naturally released, and the court did not need to change the law at all, because the taxes would not be used at all. At that time, the conservatives will have the confidence to confront the reformers head-on.

The financial crisis of the Great Song Dynasty was solved, and there was no need for the reformers.

Unless the Great Song Dynasty encounters a greater crisis at that time. Excluding Western Xia and Qingtang, the only one who can be called the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty is the Liao State. But the question is, in the war with the Liao State, does the Great Song Dynasty have a chance to win? At that time, it will no longer matter whether Zhang Dian will be able to control the government or not, and it will be good not to be a scapegoat.

Besides, is the emperor willing to make enemies with Liao?

Compared with means, Li Qingchen is not much worse than Zhang Dan, but the emperor is different.

Lu Dafang wants to return to the dynasty, so naturally there is no reason to hinder him. After all, Lu Dafang left the court to escort the coffin of the Empress Dowager Xuanren to be buried, and it stands to reason that after the funeral, he should return to the court.

But the matter of his return to the dynasty was deliberately suppressed by Zhang Dan, otherwise, Fan Chunren, Su Zhe, and Lu Dafang were all there at that time, how could the New Party move to the conservatives?

And the emperor, who had just been in power, was very displeased with Lu Dafang at that time. Because although Lu Dafang did not treat the emperor slowly, he was a close confidant of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, and the gap between the emperor and the Empress Dowager was getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Dafang naturally would not be liked by the emperor.

But at this time, after the emperor became pro-government, he wanted to control the court more and more. But at this time, it was too late, Shangshu Province was controlled by Cai Bian, and the six departments were all people from the Fa Changers. The Dushitang is naturally the hall of Zhang Dan's words, and Li Qingchen is also an important figure in the reform faction, so naturally he will not allow the conservative bigwigs to return to the court.

When everyone was against it, the emperor was helpless.

If Li Qingchen hadn't sensed something bad this time, he wouldn't have been in the same breath with the emperor, and once Lu Dafang returned to the court, Zhang Dian would have a headache again.

He also knew that the emperor was dissatisfied.

The reason for the dissatisfaction was that the emperor did not feel that he had enough right to speak.

But the emperor can be overthrown, which is exactly the idea of Zhang Dian and others. It's not that I want him to be arbitrary, Zhang Dun is still a scholar in his bones, and he has the pride of a scholar. At the same time, he also reads people and wants to be famous through the ages. This had to make him have a game between him and the imperial power. This game was not to suppress Zhao Xu, but to allow Zhao Xu to manage the Great Song Dynasty according to Zhang Xuan's ideas.

In addition, the officialdom system of the Great Song Dynasty is already very mature, and it has little influence on whether the emperor is in court or not. In this case, the civil officials naturally want the emperor to stop a little, but Zhao Xu is the emperor and the co-ruler of the world, how can he bear to live as an auspicious man?

But Emperor Zhao Xu was not willing to do this.

Historically, Chapters really almost succeeded. Emperor Zhao Xu ruled the Great Song Dynasty in full accordance with the ideas of the Reform School. It's a pity that Zhao Xu was short-lived and died within a few years. And Zhang Dan's such a prominent prestige was lost to a woman, the Queen Mother.

After the defeat, Zhang Dian left a reputation as a traitor, and he was not rehabilitated until the end of the Two Song Dynasty. Even his family was dragged down.

Judging from the current situation, it is definitely unrealistic for Zhang Dian to achieve the level he expects.

Lu Dafang has not yet returned to Beijing, but the reformers are already in mourning. This does not include Li Qingchen and others. The alliance between Zhang Dian and Li Qingchen had broken down because of the controversy over the implementation of the City Change Law and other laws.

After that, the two did not give in to each other, so that they were on the same page.

Some people mourn, and of course some people rejoice.

Liu Shi'an and Su Zhe drank a little wine together, they couldn't imagine that as the emperor's former thorn in the side, not only did he stand firm in the changing court, even if Fan Chunren left the center, he had a great influence on the conservatives. But Lu Dafang's return was definitely an unexpected joy.

"Brother Ziyou, this time Duke Lu was able to return to the dynasty smoothly, and Brother Zizhan's apprentice grandson has helped a lot." Liu Anshi put down the wine cup, thinking that he was too harsh on Li Kui before, and suddenly found that he was narrow-minded. If you have the ability, why can't he look down on him? Even if he can't see Li Kui's level of governance, who can compare to the level of war in the Great Song Dynasty?

Liu Anshi said sincerely: "I have to take care of him." ”

The tiger in the palace wants to take care of people, which makes Su Zhe very surprised. Generally speaking, Liu Anshi wants to take care of people, and he basically scares to death.

But Li Kui is different, Zhang Kui didn't dare to beat people in the palace, but Li Kui couldn't keep it. Su Zhe said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to Li Kui to my brother?" ”

Liu Anshi felt that Su Zhe was prejudiced against him, and said aggrievedly: "I am kind! ”

"Grinding him?"

"No, I want to recommend Li Kui."

Liu Anshi was very dissatisfied with Su Zhe's reaction, and said with a stiff neck: "I used to think that Li Kui was too snobbish, and he was also a member of the imperial party, and he might fall into the battle for the harem. Such a person, the younger brother naturally can't look down on it. But recently, the younger brother has also been examining himself, and found that he has too little understanding of military politics in addition to being heroic and upright. is like An Tao, he was in the Privy Council before, and he couldn't live forever, but he knew the Privy Council, but he didn't know anything about military affairs. ”

"If the younger brother follows in An Tao's footsteps in the future, if there is no one to help, maybe he will be planted!"

"That's true."

Su Zhe remembered his short military career in Yan'an Mansion, if Li Kui hadn't gone to Western Xia alone and turned the entire Western Xia upside down, he would have been disgraced on Yanyan Road. Not to mention, after the great victory of the Western Army on the northern front, because Li Kui's merits were not immediately rewarded, he was even wiped out a lot.

But Su Zhe was very puzzled, Liu Anshi was in the court, his official position was the Imperial History, and his management was the Imperial History Tower. He wants to recommend Li Kui, where can he go?

As far as he knows about Li Kui, this guy is very picky about official positions. He doesn't like to be a Lang official in the ministry, and he doesn't like to do it, if he is really raised in the imperial city like before, he is even more lazy. Wandering around the Imperial City all day, and then thinking about doing something big, such as demolishing Tianzhang Pavilion or something, is a headache.

"Qizhi, you said that you want to recommend Li Kui, is it possible that you want Li Kui to promote Qin Fenglu?"

"Underestimate me?"

Don't look at official positions such as Xuanfu envoys, it's a bit like a feudal official. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, due to the many obstacles set up between official positions, the Xuanfu envoy could only meet in war zones or areas where border wars were frequent. Of course, Qin Fenglu's propaganda envoy is very important, the Qingtang that has just been beaten down needs to be pacified, and the local government needs to be suppressed, and this official position can be regarded as full of real power.

But for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the local officials are all scum. Unless you are like Fan Chunren, who is treated like the prime minister, as a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, and is in charge of the border all the way, he can be regarded as a bigwig.

But in terms of influence, it is far from the Beijing official.

Liu Anshi said with a smile: "I'm going to pull him down Yushitai, Li Kui will let him cause trouble if he likes to make trouble, Yushitai My words can still work, I will carry him if he causes a lot of trouble." ”

Liu Anshi is very confident in himself, thinking that a newcomer to officialdom like Li Kui is not a matter for him to cause some small trouble.

Su Zhe hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated: "Qizhi, I suggest you think about it more, this matter is not simple." ”

He can't say that in Yan'an Mansion, he can't stop Li Kui, right?

If he said this, would he still have the face of his dignified vice-chancellor?

But Liu Anshi thought that there was something in Su Zhe's words: "Brother Ziyou, you shouldn't rob me, right?" ”

"No!"

Su Zhe hid his embarrassment and hurriedly brushed himself off. He didn't want a talent like Li Kui in his subordinates, for fear that the gates would be demolished.

Liu Anshi made up for a while, feeling that someone would rob Li Kui from him, and he was determined to strike first.

But he couldn't say this to Su Zhe, in case......

Su Zhe also has this idea, he can't rob others. After all, Li Kui is also a disciple of Su Men, if he is really more favorable, Su Zhe has a lot more advantages than him. Liu Anshi felt that he had to act secretly, so as not to let people see it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weizhou.

You Shixiong hurried and hurried, and finally saw the city wall of Weizhou.

Knocking on his back with a sore body, it felt like his body bones were going to fall apart, and he was tired.

"Flag, cavalry clean streets!"

This is about to enter the city, and You Shixiong is also a Zhizhou, and now he is leading troops to fight, and he still returns with a big victory. Although winning the battle has nothing to do with him, he is a representative of the army anyway.

As soon as the banner was played, a large group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, black helmets and black armor, and war horses kicked on the hard bullet stone pavement, sending out a drum-like killing intention.

"My lord, it looks like the frame of a university scholar has come out."

"Impossible, right?"

You Shixiong opened the curtain of the car while speaking, and took a closer look, it was really. In the entire Qinfeng Road, except for An Tao, no one will drive a car above the top three grades.

Although Liu Yannian is also a third-rank official, he is a general, and it is enough for him to travel on weekdays to be a cavalry guard, unlike a civilian official who travels and sets up a whole set of honor guards at every turn. Especially An Tao came to Qin Fenglu this time, and he had the right to open the mansion, that is to say, if he didn't care about it, he could fight the honor guard of a first-class official.

It's just that An Tao is a civil official, and he knows how to keep his light and keep his eyes dirty, so he won't do too much.

"Hard work, hard work!"

"Lord An's hard work!"

"For the Great Song He!"

"Wan Sheng!"

In the face of the triumphant man, the smile on An Tao's face never closed. It wasn't until General You Shixiong's thick military report was handed to An Tao that he seemed to relax.

Pulling You Shixiong, he asked softly, "Where is Renjie?" ”

"He didn't come, he was in Qingtang. The city has not yet been settled, and there is a lot of hatred in Qingtang, if he leaves, I am afraid that Qingtang will change. ”

An Tao bowed his head and said: "It's a pity! ”

You Shixiong thought that he was very important in Li Kui's mind, and after half a month on the road, he was turned upside down by the car board every day like iron broad beans in a pot. In the end, he really made a reason: "Because he was the most useless, he was sent to Qinzhou." ”

Li Kui can't leave, but what about the planting?

Can't he go away?

Weizhou suffered the disaster of Qingtang last year, and now the people heard that Qingtang City was broken, and immediately the merchants in the city organized a lively celebration banquet, and the people, soldiers, and businessmen all celebrated the victory.

But An Tao couldn't wait to pull You Shixiong down from the official residence and asked about the battle of Qingtang.

While reading the military newspaper, he asked about the battle situation.

Although You Shixiong has not experienced much, he has not experienced the process of Li Kui winning over the slaves of various tribes, and he still has little understanding of why he suddenly besieged Qingtang City.

But An Tao listened quite happily, especially when he saw that the former Qingtang King Ali Gu became a prisoner, and he was even more heroic in his heart, but after he read the military report, An Tao raised his eyelids and stared at You Shixiong for a long time, and complained: "This is an old man who can't be trusted!" ”

When You Shixiong heard this, he was terrified, but he didn't know why An Tao said that?
