Zhang Yi smiled at Xiaoliu. She was particularly beautiful in military uniform, which was more in line with her character. But there was no need for the princess to be nervous. This was above the court, and no one dared to make a mistake.

Besides, there are also five brothers, Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Niu Ben, Shi Gandang and Wang Zheng. From the perspective of personal strength alone, they are all top-notch existences in China, so there is no need to worry.

The girl's family just worries too much.

Princess Xiaoliu knew what Zhang Yi was thinking, smiled and nodded, encouraging him with her eyes.

Zhang Yi's heart suddenly aroused pride. With the support of his lover, the backing of his father-in-law, and the full help of his brothers, he will definitely overcome all difficulties and completely reverse the decline of old China.

Prime Minister Wu Rui walked out of the queue and spoke seemingly excitedly.

"Today, when the king comes to court, I see the king's heroic appearance, which is no less than that of the past. I am overjoyed in my heart. This is the blessing of the kingdom and the blessing of the subjects. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the king and the dragon are healthy, the kingdom will surely take off, like the sun in the sky! "

Prime Minister Wu sang a high-profile song, complimented the king and at the same time showed his political achievements, spoke tactfully, and cultivated himself to perfection.

All civil and military officials echoed and praised the song, but only those who knew about it remained silent.

"Thank you for your hard work, sirs," King Liu Kai said, and the court suddenly fell silent. "During my recuperation period, all your ministers worked hard, and I know that. Although the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is still a few steps away from prosperity. I have decided to appoint Zhang Yi is the chief scholar and a first-grade general, presiding over the reform as the chief assistant."

King Liu Kai has always been vigorous and resolute in his words and deeds, and he directly refutes Prime Minister Wu Rui's theory of peace and prosperity for the country and the people, makes appointments, and decides on reforms.

Officials from the three families of Wang, Zhang and Liu praised the decision and supported the king's decision. Others looked around to see Prime Minister Wu Rui's face.

Prime Minister Wu Rui bowed his head and expressed his position, saying falsely: "Any decision made by the king will be supported by the veteran, and the veteran is willing to assist Zhang Shoufu to complete the reform."

At this time, a civil servant came out and said: "The king has given an order, and the ministers will go all out. However, Zhang Shoufu has just arrived and does not understand the situation of our dynasty. We hope that Zhang Shoufu will pay more attention to the people's sentiments and not rush to change, so as not to cause a civil unrest." .”

Zhang Yi immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder. His mind was like a clear mirror and he could see clearly. Prime Minister Wu Rui had clearly made arrangements in advance. He only said nice things and let others say bad things.

Zhang Yi glanced at General Wang Zheng. Among his brothers, only General Wang could speak in front of him.

General Wang strode out of the queue with his head held high and said displeased: "Master Yang, what you said is wrong! General Zhang Shoufu knows best. He is both wise and brave, and extremely intelligent. In just a few months, he got rid of the overlord General Cao and gained the people of Mopan City." Everyone regards him as a great hero sent by God. Zhang Shoufu has been in Chang'an for more than a month and has conducted in-depth inspections among the people. He knows everything about the situation in our country. Please stop being alarmist, Mr. Yang!"

Good guy, General Wang spoke sharply and without politeness. However, these words were not what Zhang Yi asked him to say. They were words from General Wang's heart.

Zhang Yi smiled gratefully, King Liu Kai nodded in approval, and officials from the three families of Wang, Zhang, and Liu applauded.

Master Yang blushed and had a thick neck. He was a civil servant. He glared at General Wang with a blank look, and returned to the queue with an expression of disdain for arguing with the warrior.

Another General Zhao came out and shouted like a roar: "In our hearts, the king is a hero sent from heaven. We don't recognize Zhang Shoufang, only the king. The king is very important to Zhang Shoufang, but Zhang Shoufang must not be replaced by the king." Ambition!"

Suddenly the crowd was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

In Zhang Yi's view, this General Zhao is by no means an idle person. He has a ferocious face and a very thief-minded mind. On the surface, he respects the king, but in fact he is referring to Sang and Huai, implying that Zhang Yi has the ambition to usurp the throne.

. To put it simply, they will not support Zhang Yi ascending to the throne.

Obviously, Prime Minister Wu Rui was not idle when Zhang Yi was preparing for the reform. He secretly summoned his party members to discuss ways to deal with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi saw that King Liu Kai's face turned pale and he was trying to control his anger. Princess Xiao Liu behind the curtain was so angry that she jumped up and ran out if the sisters hadn't held her back.

The current situation is that we are outnumbered. Prime Minister Wu Rui has been operating for many years and has the support of most families and officials. King Liu Kai has tried it out. Among the seven major families of Li, Yang, Wuma, Zhao, Chen and Guo, the Chen and Guo families have a wait-and-see attitude.

The five families of Li Yang, Wu Ma and Zhao stood on the side of Prime Minister Wu Rui.

Although King Liu Kai is angry, he can't force it. If today's affairs are not handled well, it will cause the kingdom to split. That guy Wu Rui has nothing to fear!

Zhang Yi was certainly aware of this situation. Seeing that General Wang was about to quarrel with General Zhao, he spoke.

"General, what you and I have in common is that we regard the king as an unparalleled hero. There is no doubt that the person who can create a kingdom must be a dragon among men. I, Zhang Yi, still know myself. I am only here to serve as the king.

The icing on the cake, there is no ambition at all. Your Majesty’s ambition is to unify China, we should put aside our prejudices and unite sincerely!”

At this time, another civil servant, Mr. Ma, came out and said angrily.

"Your Majesty has great ambitions, and we are all willing to follow you through fire and water. However, when we heard that Zhang Shoufu wanted to take away the lands of the major families, we were puzzled. While Zhang Shoufu said that we must unite sincerely,

But you want to destroy my job and your life, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, the officials of the seven major families started to argue.

This has never happened before. Zhang Yi is well aware of the seriousness of the situation. Wu Rui single-handedly controls the government and stirs up trouble in private. Relying on the powerful power of the seven major families, he really dares to do whatever he wants.

King Liu Kai was about to get angry, but was dissuaded by Zhang Yi. Once the king spoke, there was no room for maneuver. The king could just wait and see. At this time, Zhang Yi needed to rush forward.

Xiaoliu and Zhang Yi's brothers were furious, but Zhang Yi calmed them down with his eyes. He smiled loudly, stepped off the platform, and walked in the hall, while the civil and military officials on both sides looked at him in surprise.

"Everyone, you just heard about the reform. How can you easily conclude that it is a bad thing? Quite the contrary! The prosperity that the king mentioned is to let everyone live a good life. Ordinary people, we should keep it in mind, and even more

What about all the heroes? Don’t worry, after the reform, you will only be richer than before!"

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were stunned.

Mr. Ma looked at Prime Minister Wu and Zhang Yi, and said doubtfully: "We really don't know the details of the reform, but is it true that Zhang Shoufu wants to take away the land? Even the land is gone, how can we make a living, and what are we going to do?

What’s the talk of wealth?”

The civil and military officials also had the same question. They could not afford to support a large family with the imperial salary. A few days ago, Prime Minister Wu summoned them and revealed that he wanted to take away the land. They became angry with shame.

Seeing Zhang Yi speaking these words calmly and with a smile, everyone was very curious and pricked up their ears to hear Zhang Yi's explanation.
