Five of them are old foxes, none of them are simple. If you want to pick on the weak ones, you are just dreaming.
The fight between Wang En and Gao Qiang is true, but they actually stick to a certain bottom line and work very tacitly to cover each other.
"With Gao Qiang's temperament, it is not surprising at all that he would do such a thing. He is an extremely selfish person. Even if he has betrayed the world, he will be happy as long as he alone achieves enlightenment. But Wang En... ·Why is he so cooperative? This is not like his character. If my previous analysis of him was not wrong, it is because he is under great pressure."
"This pressure forces him to maintain this 'unkind' tacit understanding with Gao Qiang. So where does his pressure come from? It can't be me. Although I have certain rights now, it's not enough. So is it Cheng Penghai or Cheng Penghai? Huo Quyi?" Feng Linmo excluded Zhao Kaicheng.
Although Zhao Kaicheng's power is not weak and he is a member of the royal family, most of his power lies in the Jianghu, and what he gathers is reckless.
Individually, these people can indeed do some great things, but when they are gathered together, they are just like a mess. Before they can accomplish anything, they are afraid of fighting among themselves and becoming a mess.
As for the right to control the imperial city's troops, it is actually not as glamorous as it is said.
Compared with the border army controlled by Huo Quyi, the military power held by Zhao Kaicheng was both sparse in number and low in combat effectiveness. Hundreds of years of separation from the world had long since transformed this elite of the country who originally guarded the imperial court into a powerful and powerful force. A nursery that distributes unfilial children and grandchildren.
The so-called small temple demons and strong winds describe this team.
Even Feng Lin, the cheap emperor, did not think twice about taking back this team. Instead, he thought about starting a new business and letting Dongchang recruit more people, even if it meant gathering the gangsters on the street and training them for a period of time. , and it is more reliable than the glossy silver gun wax head.
To sum up, unless Zhao Kaicheng really sits on the dragon throne and grasps the 'righteousness', he will not be able to suppress an alternative 'loyal minister' like Wang En, so he has to give up some principles and join forces with Gao Qiang.
Sima Liang, the governor of the East Factory, was furious in the government office, but the news spread pervasively throughout the capital.
For a time, everyone in the officialdom was in panic and suspicion, and it was difficult to calm down.
Not only the residences of Wang En and Gao Qiang, but also the residence of academician Cheng Penghai, there was also a long queue.
The Five Great Guos have power over the government and the opposition, but in fact, the forces under their command are not really so clearly divided.
Except for those staunch core supporters, most ordinary officials are on the fence.
To put it simply, the five great masters... no one can be offended, and no one's orders are comparable to imperial edicts. If there is a conflict between the two, they will pretend to be ill, delay and shirk.
This is the normal state of official life.
Don't be afraid of knowing everything, or simply not knowing.
I'm afraid that if I only have a half-understanding, I can't solve the problem in my mind, and I will struggle with it every day, thinking about it all the time, and I can't sleep or eat well.
These officials visited the residences of several ministers who took care of their lives, just to get some accurate information from these people, to get some so-called inside information that would make them feel at ease, and then continue to immerse themselves in being ostriches and serve as officials for one term, within the scope of their authority. Within, do some things that officials basically do.
But the morning of this day came extremely early.
Many officials were still having trouble sleeping and eating when they heard the ringing of the big bell from the palace.
"Listen! How many knocks were there in total?" An old official woke up the concubine in the sixteenth room beside him who was still confused and asked in a low voice.
The couple, who were as old as their grandfather and grandson, sat at the corner of the bed, listening carefully with their ears raised.
"Nine rings! And three times in a row, with intervals of half a stick of incense. Is this... the emperor going to court?" This old official, who is over sixty years old but still remembers the pear blossoms pressing against the begonias, and the winding path leading to the secluded place, He jumped up from the bed in an instant, as if this moment briefly restored the boy's vitality...if he hadn't covered his lower back immediately!
"Quick! Prepare court clothes for me, sir. I want to go to court!" The old official's tone was filled with unconcealable fear.
Although he has never been at the center of the whirlpool, as a Beijing official, he still has an instinctive political sense.
He detected a hint of storm.
Since the last court meeting, the emperor tried to take back the power of the ministers who were destined to return to power, but failed to take charge of the government. Today, the little emperor who has just grown up has not been in court for more than half a year.
Then the emperor was assassinated by his attendants, the name of the mad emperor spread throughout the world, the Longxiao Army was established, the Dongchang was established... Even now, the royal party and the high party are fighting, but they are covering each other and structuring the world, with unclear intentions.
All signs indicate that today's meeting will inevitably become the trigger for a truly big storm... or even the storm itself.
"Sir! If something is wrong... why don't you just call it sick?" The concubine looked worried. She was once the daughter of a poor official and was raised in a boudoir when she was young. She was carefree. Later, due to party disputes, her father was implicated and imprisoned, and his mansion was raided. She was supposed to be sent to a church. It was also thanks to the rescue of her father's colleague...that is, her current husband that she married into the mansion and became a concubine.
Precisely because she had experienced the prosperity and the pain of everything disappearing in the blink of an eye, she also had some feelings about this upcoming change.
"Women's words... At this time, we can't hide. The farther we hide, the faster we will be eliminated. In the past, we didn't need to really stand in line. That's because no matter which side we are, we need more A buffer zone to avoid the outbreak of conflicts. But now... it's different. If you want to stand by and watch, you're probably the first to be kicked out." The old official said, and under the concubine's service, he put on his clothes and hats. After tidying up his appearance, he patted his concubine's hand and gave her a forced smile. Then he turned around and strode out of the room, riding in a carriage towards the palace.
At this time, there were a large number of official residences in the capital. Although the details were different, they were generally similar.
Almost everyone knew that this would be a turning point.
As for where to go, they are like duckweeds, with no clue or purpose.
It was just past five o'clock, and almost all the officials, big and small, in the capital were already fighting under the palace walls.
None of the five major ministers had shown up yet, and in the entire square, officials were talking in groups.
Although the voices they spoke to each other were not loud, they were buzzing together... like swarms of flies hovering over the carrion. Since they wanted to fall down, they were afraid that it was a trap. Poisonous.
Crunch...!
The guards at the city gate gave orders and the palace gate was opened.
At a glance, there are already a large number of Dongchang fans standing on both sides of the avenue.
The guards in the palace were replaced by people from Dongchang... Although this message was not big, it was meaningful enough.
