Prime Minister, the dust has settled on the Imperial Doctor, but the position of Da Sima is still vacant.

The position of Da Sima has plummeted since the time of Emperor Xuan, but he is still the nominal chief assistant in the imperial court, so naturally he can only be held by ministers with great weight.

Shi Xian also covets this position, he can't guarantee that this position must be his own person, but he must guarantee that he must not be his enemy.

His number one enemy, Guanglu Doctor Zhou Kan, is currently in the limelight, and after Xiao Wangzhi's death, Liu Zheng often feels guilty. In order to eliminate the uneasiness of conscience, he became more respectful to Zhou Kan, and rewarded him at every turn, and together with Zhou Kan's disciple Zhang Meng, he also got the opportunity.

Shi Xian naturally saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. However, he is a smart man, and he sees it very clearly, in this situation, it is not appropriate to deal with Old Man Zhou again, otherwise it will arouse Liu Zheng's vigilance.

He understands Liu Zheng, and after a while, when Liu Zheng's mood calms down, it will be convenient to find an opportunity to set up a sleeve for Zhou Zheng.

The top priority is to compete for the position of Da Sima, and to drag this chair into his hand seems simple, but in fact it is not easy. The ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the children of their relatives, and even the emperor all have their own plans, and on the surface the situation is calm, but secretly the competition between various forces has reached a white-hot level.

Otherwise, according to Liu Zheng's temperament of doing more and less things, the person in this position would have been released a long time ago.

Shi Xian skillfully listened to the news from all sides, and the most important thing was Liu Zheng's tone.

For him, as long as he is not a person who is Zhou Kan, he can put a hundred hearts at ease.

After some time, Liu Zheng finally made his own decision in the court, and the great Sima, the general of the chariot cavalry, was succeeded by the Marquis of Changping.

Shi Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Jie's person, he understands, this person is good at Jingyi, and Wei Xuancheng and others are the same kind of people, the difference is that Wang Jie is Liu Zheng's cousin, and Wei Xuancheng is grassroots.

In this way, taking down Zhou Kan and others is just around the corner.

In the first year of Yongguang (43 BC), Shi Xian was angered.

This time, it was Liu Gengsheng who caused trouble. Liu Gengsheng knew that Zhou Kan was not Shi Xian's opponent, so he decided to strike first, he obviously forgot the lesson of the last time.

Once again, he went to the book to show his dictatorship.

Just like last time, the fold came to Shi Xian's hands first, Shi Xian is also a smart person, and he has never let go of the enemy's articles, he doesn't care about any taboos, just open it and read it.

As soon as he finished reading the article, he jumped up from his chair and cursed, "I don't know whether I live or die." ”

The five Shangshu who were in the same office with him immediately knew that the boss had a job for them to do.

According to the general work process, several of them separately collected the accusations of Zhou Kan, Zhang Meng, and Liu Gengsheng, and then deliberately found someone to set them up when they were working, and then notified Xu and the Shi family to report to the emperor about these people's problems with him.

After such a process, Liu Zheng saw that so many people were dissatisfied with his master Zhou Kan, and he had to reconsider the problem of Zhou Kan and others.

Liu Zheng is not stupid, he knows that the ordinary gang is not in harmony, if you listen to their side of the story, it is easy to make the mistake of listening to the dark.

Therefore, he found a person, and this person often praised Zhou Kan.

This person is Chang'an Ling Yang Xing.

Yang Xing was summoned to Liu Zheng in a daze, originally it was difficult for a low-level official like him to see Long Yan to ascend to the sky, and it would be a great honor to see it once, but Yang Xing was very worried, because he was summoned for no reason, and it was conceivable that it was never a good thing.

Liu Zheng didn't make a detour, and asked Yang Xing what he thought of Dr. Guanglu.

Yang Xing thought through Liu Zheng's words in detail in a very short period of time, Zhou Kan is Liu Zheng's master, and they have been in contact for a long time, theoretically Liu Zheng's understanding of Zhou Zheng is no less than his, but he asked himself such a strange question today? And why don't you find other ministers, but just ask him Yang Xing to ask this question?

If Yang Xing's guess is right, it is because he often shoots Zhou Kan's sycophants in the recital. Now the emperor came up to ask him this question, which means that the emperor has doubts about Zhou Kan and needs him Yang Xing to confirm it.

He used to shoot Zhou Kan's sycophants because he felt that this person had a bright future, but now the emperor has doubts about him, which means that Zhou Kan's future is not good. Anyway, he Yang Xing doesn't have a deep friendship with him Zhou Kan, and now he should be wise to protect himself.

Liu Zheng saw that Yang Xing was thinking about something, and thought that he had something unspeakable, so he asked again, "The courtiers don't say more about Guangluxun, why is it?" ”

Yang Xing was shocked suddenly, and he was secretly happy in his heart, he was embarrassed just now that he betrayed Zhou Kan, would he incur Zhou Kan's jealousy, now that the emperor and all the ministers said so, then he can't be blamed, and looking at Liu Zheng's meaning, it seems that he has the intention of dismissing Zhou Kan.

"The minister thought that Zhou Kan was not only intolerable to the court, but also difficult to tolerate retreating to the township, and the minister saw that the previous courtiers participated in Zhou Kan, Liu Gengshen and others plotted to destroy the flesh and bones, and suggested that they be killed. However, His Majesty's efforts not to kill Zhou Kan are for the sake of the country, not for the sake of morality. ”

Liu Zheng sighed, "You're right, he is not guilty, how can he be punished?" What do you think you should do? ”

"The minister thinks that he can be given the marquis of Guannei and 300 households, but he cannot make it an auxiliary government, which can not only show His Majesty's leniency, but also calm the court disputes, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

Liu Zheng nodded again and again when he heard this, and when Yang Xing retreated, he was still very hesitant, after all, Zhou Kan had no merit and hard work over the years, Xiao Wangzhi died, if Zhou Kan was degraded again, the people of the whole world would probably have to scold him for being unconscious.

When I was having a headache, the Chinese calligraphy agency sent another copy of the Zhou Survey, and the payment for the fold was Zhuge Feng. This Zhuge Feng is the captain of the city gate, and Liu Zheng has a lot of impression of him, because this person is five big and three thick, and he is open-minded by nature.

He came to Zhou to investigate a book, which shows that his master is really not very good! In fact, how did he know that Zhuge Feng had a grudge with Zhou Kan because of a trivial matter, and this time he came to Zhou Kan completely to hear the news released by Shi Xian and come to settle the old account.

Liu Zheng did not hesitate anymore, and personally wrote an edict, degrading Zhou Kan to Hedong Taishou and Zhang Meng to Huaili Order.

The two left Chang'an in embarrassment, and the stone in Shi Xian's heart finally fell to the ground.

The two people he was afraid of were demoted, and the other opponents were small fish and shrimp in his eyes, and he was not even qualified to let him do it.
