The five big ones are old foxes, none of them are simple goods, and the persimmon wants to pick a soft pinch, which is a dream.

The fight between Wang En and Gao Yi is true, but they actually abide by each other at a certain bottom line, and they cover each other very tacitly.

"With Gao Zhen's temperament, it is not surprising to do such a thing, he is an extremely selfish person, even if he loses the world, as long as he is the only one who achieves the Tao, he will be happy. But Wang En... Why is he so cooperative? It's not like his character, if it's not that I've misanalyzed him before, it's that he's under a lot of pressure. ”

"This pressure forced him to maintain this 'unkind' tacit understanding with Gao Yi. So where is the pressure coming from? It can't be me, and now I have some power, but it's not enough. So is it Cheng Penghai or Huo Quyi?" Feng Linwan excluded Zhao Kaicheng.

Although Zhao Kaicheng's power is not weak, and he is a member of the royal family, his power is mostly in the rivers and lakes, and he is reckless.

Those people can indeed do some great things when they take it out alone, but when they are gathered together, they are just a plate of scattered sand, and before they have done any meritorious deeds, they are afraid that they will first fight into a mess.

As for the right to control the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City, it is actually not as beautiful as it is said.

Compared with the border army controlled by Huo Quyi, the little military power held by Zhao Kaicheng is not only scarce in number but also low in combat effectiveness, and the hundreds of years of leaving the world have long made this elite of the country that originally guarded the imperial court become a nursery for the magnates to distribute unfilial children and grandchildren.

The so-called temple demon is windy, which describes this team.

Even Feng Linwan, the cheap emperor, didn't think about taking this team back, but wanted to start anew and let Dongchang recruit some more fans, even if it was to gather the ruffians on the street and train for a period of time, it was more reliable than the shiny silver gun wax head.

To sum up, unless Zhao Kaicheng really sits on the dragon chair and grasps the 'righteousness', he will not be able to suppress an alternative 'loyal minister' like Wang En, so that he has to give up some principles and join forces with Gao Yi.

Sima Liang, the governor of Dongchang, was furious in the palace, but the news spread to the entire capital.

For a time, the people in the officialdom were panicked, each had their own suspicions, and it was difficult to calm down.

Not only the mansions of Wang En and Gao Yan, but also the door of the mansion of university scholar Cheng Penghai was also lined up.

The five major powers of caring for their lives leaned towards the government and the opposition, but in fact, the forces under them were not really so clearly divided.

With the exception of those who are staunch core supporters, most of the ordinary officials belong to the wall-riding faction.

To put it simply, the five big masters... No one can be offended, and anyone's orders are comparable to holy decrees, and if there is a conflict between the two, they will pretend to be sick and procrastinate, and prevaricate.

This is the normal state of officialdom survival.

In all things, they are not afraid to know, or they simply do not know.

I'm afraid that I don't know half of it, and I exist in my heart, but I can't solve it, I am entangled every day, and I think about it all the time, which is difficult to sleep and eat.

These officials have visited the mansions of several ministers who care for their lives, just to get some letters from these people, to get some so-called insider information that can make them feel at ease, and then continue to bury their heads in ostriches, serve as officials for one term, and do some things that officials basically do within the scope of their authority.

And the early morning of this day came exceptionally early.

Many officials, still in the midst of sleeping, heard the ringing of the big bell from the palace.

"Listen! How many knocks have you made?" asked an old official, pushing the sixteenth concubine who was still confused next to him, and asked in a low voice.

The two sons, who are as different in age as grandchildren, sit on the edge of the bed and prick up their ears to listen carefully.

"Nine rings! And at intervals of small half-pillars of incense, three times in a row. It's... The Son of Heaven wants to go to court?" If it weren't for the back of the waist again!

"Quick! Prepare court clothes for Master Ben, I want to go to court!" The old official's tone was mixed with unconcealable trepidation.

Although he has not been in the center of the whirlpool, as a Beijing official, he still has an instinctive political sense.

He sensed a hint of a storm.

Since the last court meeting, the Son of Heaven intended to take back the power of the minister, and after the pro-government failed. Today, the little emperor who has just come of age for a long time has not been in court for more than half a year.

Then the Son of Heaven was assassinated by his close attendants, and the name of the Son of Madness spread all over the world, the Longxiao Army was established, and the East Factory was established... So much so that now the Wang Party and the Gao Party are fighting each other, but they are covering each other and laying out the world, with unclear intentions.

All kinds of signs are on the surface, today's court meeting will inevitably become the fuse of the real big storm... Or even directly the storm itself.

"Sir, if things are not right... Why don't you call yourself sick and don't go?" The concubine looked worried, she was once the daughter of a broken official, and she was also raised in a deep boudoir when she was a child, carefree. Later, due to party disputes, her father was implicated and imprisoned, and her mansion was raided, and she should have been confiscated into the church. It's also thanks to my father's colleagues... That is, her current husband rescued her, so she married into the house and became a concubine.

It is precisely because of the prosperity of all the experiences and the pain that is empty in the blink of an eye, that she also has some feelings about this upcoming change.

"The Woman's Words... At this time, there is no way to hide. The farther we hide, the faster we will be eliminated, and we didn't need to really take sides before, because no matter which side we are, we need to have more buffer zones to avoid the outbreak of contradictions. But now... It's different, if you want to watch coldly, you're afraid that you'll be swept out first. The old official said, under the service of the concubine, put on his coat and hat, tidied up his appearance, and then patted the concubine's hand, gave her a reluctant smile, and then turned around and strode out of the door, riding in the carriage, and heading in the direction of the palace.

At this time, in the capital, there were many official residences, and although the details were different, they were generally similar.

It was clear to almost everyone that this would be a turning point.

As for where to go, they are like duckweed, with no clue or purpose.

After the fifth watch, almost all the officials, large and small, in the capital, have already fought under the palace walls.

The five major Gu Fates have not yet appeared, and in the entire square, officials are talking in groups.

Although the voices of each other are not loud, they gather together, but they are buzzing... It's like a swarm of flies, hovering over the carrion, and since they want to fall, they are afraid that it will be a trap, and the flesh is poisonous.

Crunch··· ！

The guards at the gates gave orders, and the gates of the palace were opened.

At a glance, there are already a large number of Dongchang fans standing on both sides of the avenue.

The people of the East Factory replaced the guards in the palace... This message, although not big, is meaningful enough.
