Chapter 222 The time comes to run the child to pick up the leak
Internal Affairs Ministry, Liang Shicheng's study room.
Liang Shicheng, who is known as the hidden prime minister, has a gloomy face. His biological father was listed as a traitor by Cai Jing and Yang Lin, and his uncle, Xiao Su Xianggong Su Zhe, was even more famous on the list.
Many old party bureaucrats who were attached to him in the yamen were swept out of Bianliang. An unprecedented purge suddenly came, and he was a little confused.
Once upon a time, it was not uncommon for the old and the new parties to compete for power, and it was not uncommon for both parties to be demoted after losing power.
The forces of the two parties are mutually stronger and weaker depending on the attitude of the supreme ruling power. Whenever there is a change in the supreme ruler, it is a good opportunity for the two parties to compete with each other.
But it was also after several games and mutual criticisms that the outcome of the old and new parties was decided based on the needs of the actual people in power in the palace.
Since the "Qingli New Deal" in the Renzong period of the Song Dynasty, reform and reform have become the consistent opinions of the emperors and monarchs. Since then, all kings of the past dynasties have insisted on reform and reform, and they have been inherited from the same origin.
Those who hindered the reform often introduced a queen mother, such as Empress Dowager Xiang in the early period of Huizong.
As long as he adheres to the New Deal, he is consistent with the political views of his father and brother, which will greatly help the legitimacy and legitimacy of Zhao Ji's succession.
Now that Zhao Ji's throne is becoming more and more stable, it stands to reason that it is indeed time to liquidate the old party, but there has never been any regulations on how to grasp this time.
Nowadays, Cai Jing and Yang Lin don't follow the rules at all. They directly grasp the emperor's desire to have a stable country, an orthodox position, and enjoy civil and martial arts. They flatter his superiors and directly attack.
Anyone who is not on the same side as them will be incorporated into the old party and cut off with one blow. Without the slightest reason, if the old party has obstructed the New Deal, it is a traitorous party.
Liang Shicheng said: "In the past, when we got together, my study was very crowded. Cai Jing and Yang Lin made such a fuss, but half of them were gone. Some of these people were demoted from the capital, some were stripped of their official positions, and some were anxious.
I want to change my family. Yang Lin has treated us as if we were nothing several times, but you guys should come up with an idea."
Wang Fu's previous plots against Yang Lin went nowhere. He was beaten severely by him, and Yuci's house was robbed. When he heard this, he even came up with ideas to deal with him. Not only did he remain silent.
Liang Shicheng glared at him with dissatisfaction. In the past, Wang Fu would always end up making suggestions, but now he is actually cowarded.
Looking at Gao Qiu again, Liang Shicheng was even more angry when the old god was there.
Gao Qiu relied on himself to be in charge of the Xifu, and the civil servants within the Imperial Guard and the outer court were not organized, so they acted like nothing happened.
Moreover, his third son, Gao Bing, was very close to Yang Lin, jumping up and down like one of his subordinates. Sooner or later, he would take over his position as palace commander and replace him with someone who obeyed him.
Sensing the unkind look from the old eunuch above, Gao Qiu felt uncomfortable for a while and quickly said: "Wang Fu, Enfu is asking you a question. Please think of a way to fight back."
Wang Fu secretly resented it. In the silence, he pondered for a long time before speaking: "Yang Lin is powerful and traitorous at the moment, just like the blazing sun in the sky. It is unwise to fight with him at this time. At present, Fangla, Xixia, and Dali have all three victories in the imperial court.
Yang Lin is involved, and even if we want to overthrow him, we have to wait for the opportunity."
Liang Shicheng nodded, and Wang Fu dared to continue: "When Zeng Bu falls, the officials in Kaifeng Mansion under him will definitely be replaced. If you want to control Cai Jing and Yang Lin, Lord En Mansion, it is better to support another one."
"Zeng Bu has been supporting someone for decades. How can he have such a strong network of connections to be worthy of his position?"
Wang Fu felt blessed and said with a smile: "Lord Enfu, have you forgotten Tong Guan?"
Liang Shicheng's eyes lit up. He had really forgotten about this person. Tong Guan deserved credit for his conquest of Hehuang and Tubo.
Even in the battle to exterminate Xia, Tong Guan was the main general, and it was he who led his troops into Xingqing Mansion.
The most important thing is that this person can speak well in front of the emperor and is also a close minister of the emperor.
He also has a close personal relationship with Cai Jing, and their interests are closely connected. With his own support, it is not difficult to rise to prominence in this society.
"Ask Tong Guan to come see me tonight."
After Liang Shicheng finished speaking, he stood up and left without even saying goodbye to those present.
Wang Fu chuckled, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Best regards, Lord Enfu."
Gao Qiu stepped forward, raised his thumb and said, "Wang Tejin has quick wits and is worthy of being a confidant of the En family."
The smile on Wang Fu's face suddenly disappeared, and he curled his lips and said: "Gao Dianshuai, your son is too close to Yang Lin. Enfu wants you to discipline him."
Gao Qiu chuckled and slowly walked out of the study, not caring at all about Wang Fu's threat.
I am in charge of 600,000 forbidden troops. What does it have to do with you to seek wealth among these soldiers? Why should I follow you and fight against Yang Lin?
No one in Bianliang knows that Yang Lin is not easy to mess with. I can just keep my position as the palace commander and enjoy my wealth, so why bother provoking that Tai Sui——
The deserted road is long and there are few traces of people.
In a wild shop beside the road, a tall middle-aged man was sitting alone drinking tea. There were more than a dozen beards under his chin, which were fluttering in the wind, which was a bit funny and did not match his strong and majestic appearance.
On the ancient road from Hejianfu to Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, thousands of military horses protected a line of carriages and horses slowly going south.
Qin Hui was sitting in the car with a somewhat relaxed look on his face. This time on his mission to Daliao, Qin Hui really felt the absurdity of the Khitan monarchs and ministers, and the state affairs were like child's play.
The dignified Khitan Emperor Yelu Yanxi only knew about hunting and beauties every day. Xiao Fengxian controlled the government and was so greedy that he directly asked Qin Hui for bribes.
As long as the Song Dynasty gave him money, the army on the border would retreat. In order to show his sincerity, Xiao Fengxian deliberately showed his power in front of himself.
The Khitan Prime Minister forced the chiefs of the tribes in the country to wear the costumes of palace dancers and dance. It can be said that they were full of ugliness. Only a little Jurchen refused and was beaten half to death.
Qin Hui saw this and was very happy in his heart. With the Khitan corrupted so far, Hebei had nothing to worry about.
After spending some money to bribe Xiao Fengxian, the border between Song and Liao would be worry-free. Thinking of this, Qin Hui opened the curtain of his car and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Two cavalrymen came from a distance and were stopped by the escort of the mission.
After a while, a school captain came forward and said: "Qin Xuezheng, the Shengjie Army has come to see you."
When Qin Hui heard that Sheng Jiejun belonged to Tong Guan, and Tong Guan was his deceased wife's godfather, he sent people to find what he was doing.
Qin Hui had been away from the Song Dynasty for several months and was still unaware of the great changes in the court. He said happily: "Invite people here quickly."
After the two primary schools of Shengjie Army came over, they clasped their fists on their horses and said, "Greetings to Qin Xuezheng. In the restaurant not far ahead, Commander Tong invites you."
Who was Tong Guan's identity? He was actually welcomed here to see him. Qin Hui was flattered and hurriedly said to the groom: "Follow the two young generals quickly. Don't keep Tong Guan waiting for a long time."
