Chapter five hundred and nineteenth intrigue

Song Shou recommended Wang Zeng, but Li Zhang found that Zhao Zhen did not show any surprise expression, which made him understand immediately. It seemed that this was a scene played by Zhao Zhen and Song Shou. It was simply because after Li Di was eliminated, Zhao Zhen hoped that someone could restrain Lu Yijian in the court, so he thought of Wang Zeng, the great Buddha.

Li Zhang could guess the above, and Lu Yijian, the old foxes in the officialdom, could naturally guess it, so at this time, everyone else was looking at Lu Yijian, waiting to see his reaction, but Lu Yijian smiled calmly at this time, "Your Majesty, I think that the prince is far better than me in terms of qualifications and prestige. If the prince is willing to return to the capital, I am willing to give up the position of prime minister and be willing to be under the prince!"

Li Zhang couldn't help but secretly shouted at Lu Yijian's on-the-spot reaction. This move was so wonderful. On the surface, Zhao Zhen just wanted to summon Wang Zeng to replace Xue Kui, but with Wang Zeng's qualifications, maybe Zhao Zhen really wanted to replace Lu Yijian with Wang Zeng, but now Lu Yijian takes the initiative to give way, which makes Zhao Zhen embarrassed to start.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen smiled awkwardly at this time and said, "Lu Aiqing, don't have to be too humble. I have seen you all the hard work as the prime minister over the years and will definitely not forget your Aiqing's contribution!"

Zhao Zhen's words not only affirmed Lu Yijian's contribution, but also stabilized his position as prime minister. Some people who wanted to watch the fun also showed disappointment, while Li Zhang next to him showed a faint smile. Wang Zeng is not Li Di. If he returns to Beijing, Lu Yijian will have an extra strong rival. I just don't know what attitude Lu Yijian should use to face Wang Zeng?

Lu Yijian did not object, and Wang Zeng's entry into the court was almost a foregone conclusion. Zhao Zhen immediately asked someone to draft an order, and today's discussion was finally over. Lu Yijian and others also surrendered one after another. Li Zhang originally wanted to leave, but found that Zhao Zhen winked at him, which made him understand immediately, so he stayed in the end and did not leave.

After everyone else left, Zhao Zhen asked the eunuchs around him to retreat, and then he seemed to be completely relaxed. He suddenly collapsed on the dragon throne and smiled bitterly at Li Zhang, saying, "It's so tiring. I used to think the most tiring thing was handling government affairs, but now I realize that the most tiring thing was to fight with these ministers. It's so difficult to be an emperor!"

"Those who can work harder. I think Your Majesty has learned very quickly. Even Lu Xiang privately praised Your Majesty for making rapid progress." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time. Zhao Zhen complained to him that he was tired of being an emperor, but he was born with the emperor's destiny, and no one could change this.

"This time, the prince and the prince entered the capital, and I'm afraid they were not very happy. I heard that he and the prince had some unhappiness." Zhao Zhen smiled again at this time. Lu Yijian had a smooth personality, while Wang Zeng and Li Di were both square-minded people and had their own principles in doing things. This also led to them not very much liking for Lu Yijian, but when Liu E was in power, Lu Yijian laughed to the end.

"Your Majesty wants to arrange a person in the court who can restrain Lu Xiang. Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely not like him, and may even do some things. Although the prince is highly prestige, he has been away from the court for many years. I am worried that he will follow in the footsteps of Li Shaofu." Li Zhang thought about it at this time and said clearly.

"The Young Master Li did disappoint me, but the prince is not the Young Master Li. He could beat Ding Wei down and wouldn't have easily fallen into Lu Xiang's plan, right?" Zhao Zhen frowned when he heard Li Zhang's words, but he was a little unconfident when he said it at the end. After all, he had seen Lu Yijian's methods. Wang Zeng is old now, and he has no idea whether he can still balance Lu Yijian.

"It's hard to say that this may end up being both sides of the loss." Li Zhang suddenly sighed at last and said, "Where are people, there are worlds, and where there are worlds, there are worlds, there are worlds, and where there are worlds, there are worlds, there are worlds, and where there are worlds, there are worlds of struggles. This is something that cannot be avoided in any era.

"This is not possible. Lu Yijian is indeed a prime minister. I need him to help me manage the court. The prince has also made great contributions to the state. I have transferred him back to Beijing this time and wanted to entrust important tasks, not to let them fight to death." Zhao Zhen immediately spoke again when he heard Li Zhang's words. Although he wanted to use the king to restrain Lu Yijian, he was just restraining. If the two fight to death, it would go against his original intention.

"This..." Li Zhang smiled bitterly when he heard this. As long as the battle in the court began, he could no longer stop. Moreover, this was not a party struggle. It was just a struggle between two ministers. If it developed into later party struggles, it would be even more terrifying. The entire empire would exhaust its strength in party struggles. In the end, others only needed to push it gently from the outside, and the seemingly huge empire would collapse.

"Cousin, I think the prince is a person with a view of the overall situation and should not take the initiative to provoke a fight with Lu Xiang. On the contrary, Lu Xiang seems generous, but in fact he doesn't like being restrained, so I'm also worried about him the most. Cousin, you have some friendship with Lu Xiang, so why not advise him at that time, so you won't be out of control." Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and spoke again.

"This is a solution. It depends on whether Lu Xiang and Prince and others can restrain their tempers!" Li Zhang nodded when he heard this, but it would be a bit too risky to rely on the ministers' personal ethics.

"By the way, Miaoyuan has moved to her princess's mansion and rarely comes back during this period. How is her life now? In addition, there is also Li'er, who lives in your place and does not return to the palace. The queen of mother has asked about Li'er more than once." After talking about business, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked about his two sisters' situation.

"Miaoyuan is pretty good. Most of them stay in the mansion. Sometimes they go to my place to sit. As for Li'er, she goes around her princess's mansion every day. Now the buildings in the mansion have almost been built, and she probably wants to move in early." Li Zhang replied immediately, but when he talks about Miaoyuan, his face also seemed a little unnatural.

"Cousin, please remind Li'er and let her go back to the palace occasionally so that her mother would not worry about her." Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this. He was too busy and had no time to take care of these two sisters at all, so he had to let Li Zhang do it for him.

"Haha, actually Li'er also complained to me, saying that my aunt is only thinking about the child in the queen's belly and doesn't remember her daughter anymore." Li Zhang also smiled at this time.

When talking about his upcoming child, Zhao Zhen immediately became interested. He immediately pulled Li Zhang to talk for a long time, and even learned from Li Zhang. After all, he had no experience in taking care of the child. Although he didn't need him to take care of the child himself, Zhao Zhen, who was a father for the first time, was still very nervous.
