"We can no longer let Yang Shouyi be the first assistant."
Lu Yu said: "In a few days, I plan to appoint a new chief minister of the cabinet. Time is running out and I am not prepared to wait any longer."
"Since Your Majesty has already made a decision, I can't interfere, but there are a few things I need to explain to Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said with a faint smile.
Lu Yu nodded: "You say."
Zhao Gaodao: "No matter who you appoint, it will inevitably cause the other faction to rebel. Now there is a huge disparity in strength between the two factions. You must know how to check and balance."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Which two factions are you talking about?"
"Of course it's the Lu Party and the Dongsheng Party!"
Zhao Gao suddenly sighed and said: "I'm afraid your Majesty has never thought that the forces in front of you have actually started fighting each other a long time ago. There are many factions, and they only maintain peace on the surface, but in private, they have already launched a vigorous war.
Attack."
"The Mainland Party is headed by Li Si. They are young and energetic. Although they are large in number, their strength is not sufficient. There are few high-ranking officials among them."
"The Dongsheng Party is dominated by Tianwang and Qianlong Army. They elected Pei Tianguang as their leader. Because they have followed His Majesty for the longest time, many of them have outstanding achievements. In terms of qualifications, this is obviously unmatched by the Mainland Party."
Lu Yu frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Zhao Gao said with emotion: "Not only these two factions, there are more factions in the court, rich factions, Confucianists, conservative factions... Many forces are mixed together. Your Majesty, your current situation is that one move can affect the whole body.
, if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss."
Lu Yu nodded and said: "People have desires and gather together because of interests and harmony. This is a common thing and cannot be changed."
Suddenly, Lu Yu changed the topic and looked at Zhao Gao: "Actually, you missed one more, and that is the eunuch."
Zhao Gao's body trembled, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
"Wei Zhong, Liu Jin...I won't go into details. Now you control not only the inner palace, but also the dragon guards in splendid clothes, right? The largest Dayuan Bank in the Imperial City, and the largest input income every year, all fall into your hands.
Is it in your pocket?" Lu Yu's expression couldn't tell the sadness or joy, and he looked at the water of Taotao Lake and said calmly.
Zhao Gao stood up, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Do you think I don't understand what you're saying?"
"Or do you really think that I came to you to talk about this?"
Lu Yu continued, his voice calm, but filled with murderous intent.
Zhao Gao knelt on the ground, his head lowered, and his body was shaking constantly.
"To whom do you owe allegiance?"
Lu Yu's voice sounded like thunder in Zhao Gao's ears.
Suddenly, a pressure like a roaring mountain and a tsunami fell on the old eunuch's voice. At this moment, Zhao Gao felt as if he was being targeted by a vicious beast, and suddenly felt a chill.
"Old slave, I am loyal to Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said in a trembling voice.
Lu Yu didn't look at the old eunuch, his expression was cold, as if an immortal emperor had descended.
"you are lying."
"I know that you are only loyal to Zhao Tianyin. Even though I am his reincarnation, you are still loyal to Zhao Tianyin in your heart. I crushed Zhao Tianyin's soul, are you still thinking of forming an eunuch party to avenge me?"
"Don't you know why I didn't choose to live in the palace? The killing array in the harem has been kept until the end. Do you really think that just because you and Jing Kang are princes, you can kill me?"
Lu Yu said in a calm tone, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhao Gao's heart.
"Remember, there is only one person in this world who has the final say!"
