On this day, Liu Xie had been inspecting the palace as usual, and happened to meet the ancestral record of the same patrol guard.

"His Majesty."

"Well, how is the recruitment of the Guard?"

Most of the guards in the past were released to be officials. The original rank of nearly 2,000 people is now less than 1,000 people.

"Every family in Yingchuan signed up enthusiastically, and almost all sent were legitimate sons, and many of them brought their own horses and even armor."

"Oh, that's great."

"But Your Majesty... Do you really need to use Yingchuan people as guards?"

"Well...? Zhong Ji, what do you mean is interesting. Why, what else do you have? "

"Your Majesty, if you can become your guard, as long as you make a little contribution, you will be at least 400 stones in the future. Most of the guards in the previous guards were originally from Yingchuan. Is this... Is the ruler too much power in the court now?"

Liu Xie paused when he heard this, glanced at Zhong Ji with his eyes slightly squinted.

Zhong Ji hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "I only have the intention of respecting Lingjun, and have no other dirty thoughts, nor have any personal grudges. However... to be honest, Lingjun's current authority has actually surpassed that of the Taiwei. I think that the world is the world of the world, not the world of Yingchuan."

"Of course, the scholars of Yingchuan have worked hard and made great contributions for many years. The scholars of Yingchuan have made great contributions to the great rule of the world today, and the scholars of Yingchuan have made great contributions. I also think that the scholars of Yingchuan can have their current status. But... Besides, Xun Yong, the master of the traitor Yuan Shao, is also from Yingchuan."

"Um."

Liu Xie agreed and his mind began to turn.

This is already a bit heartbroken. You must know that Xun Zheng is not only from Yingchuan, but also the brother of Xun Yu, his father. Yuan Shao's Yingchuan counselors were more than Xun Zheng.

You should know that after the abdication storm and the party and corruption storm, the focus is on whether loyalty is absolutely or not. Which famous scholar in the world can have a greater reputation as the famous scholars of the Xun family?

The Xun family is the most backbone of the party members in the Han Dynasty!

If it weren't for the fact that the Xun family's political status was too high and too special, it would be impossible for them to be alone in this political storm or even to the level.

So even Liu Xie could see that Zhong Ji said this, at least he was heading for his political enemies.

When did these two break up?

In fact, Zong Ji is a Jingzhao person. His personal relationship with Xun Yu has always been pretty good because of Xun You. However, now Zong Ji has naturally risen with the increasing power of Suwei.

Although Zong Ji will not lead troops to fight, Su Wei is now increasingly like the preparatory class of the Imperial Academy and the training class of grassroots officials of the Han Dynasty. In fact, Zong Ji, who holds the power of selection, actually has a certain power to priests, so naturally he became the leader of the Jingzhao people in the court.

The Jingzhao faction and the Yingchuan faction have always been very close. Because the two places are relatively close, there are many marriages between them, and many people are related to each other.

However, with the recent resumption of the Party and the deportation of Suwei, the people of Yingchuan have indeed established a relatively transcendent position in the court, somewhat similar to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and the Guanlong gentry of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

These two were actually the political groups that were the basic political groups of the court at this time, so they naturally inevitably had a rift.

To put it bluntly, Jingzhao people are jealous.

Then when it comes to the top level of the court, it is naturally between Zong Ji and Xun Yu, and it is inevitable that it will go differently.

Politics, the butt always determines the head, not the head determines the butt.

Objectively speaking, what Zhong Ji said is right.

The court relied too much on Yingchuan people, and it would inevitably be constrained in the future.

However, the imperial court had offended the people of the world a few days ago. If the people of Yingchuan were not valued, who else could they use? Of course, they were Jingzhao people who were originally close ally of the people of Yingchuan.

Even Liu Xie could understand these.

To put it bluntly, this is a sign of the new party struggle between the DPRK and China.

This kind of repertoire is a bit too far, and I dare to act as a constraint on Xun Yu.

You don't even see how miserable Mao Jie died.

Of course, all these calculations are for a normal emperor.

A normal emperor thinks that the country is forever and that he is arbitrary, but Liu Xie is not a normal emperor, he is thinking of abdicating.

Although this goal seems to be unlikely now.

He also counts on constitutional monarchy as he wants to settle for the second best.

To achieve constitutional monarchy, there must be several powerful ministers who can compete with the imperial power.

Xun Yu is becoming more and more powerful, and he is about to become a powerful minister?

This is a good thing!

However, Xun Yu is too loyal to him, and the people of Yingchuan are too loyal to him at present.

Is this good? This is not good.

Are you from Jingzhao?

Liu Xie keenly felt that there was a bit of operational space here, but his IQ was limited and he didn't dare to mess around.

"I already know this. I will never doubt Lingjun's loyalty. I even think that his authority is less. Don't say such things again in the future. I will pass on my clear edict. If anyone in the court dares to discuss Xun Chen's affairs, he will be dismissed from his official position and will never be hired."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ji quickly knelt down and apologized.

"I know, you want Jingzhao people to be the guard. This matter is, well, it's important, I have to think about it carefully."

But you have to think it through carefully.

All the civil and military officials in the court are all thinking about it. If you don’t think clearly, you can easily be unclear about it. These things can give me a back prick at any time.

However, when Zhong Ji heard this, he was quite happy. Thinking about it, there was a chance!

The scholars of Yingchuan are the foundation of the court at present, and Xun Yu is even a pillar of the court. Of course, we must consider this kind of matter that shakes the foundation of the country.

So, Zhong Ji happily left.

But what Liu Xie didn't know was that after Zhong Ji retired, he ran directly to Xun Mansion. Xun Yu, Xun You and Xun Yue had known that he was coming for a long time and had ordered his servants to prepare wine and food.

As soon as he saw him, Xun couldn't wait to ask, "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor really trusts Lingjun very much. He said that some people in the court dare to argue with Xun Chen again and will never be hired if they are dismissed."

When Xun Yu heard this, he saw no joy on his face. Instead, he sighed worriedly and asked, "Where is the matter of Suwei? Did the emperor agree to let Jingzhao people serve as Suwei?"

"This... the emperor said he would think about it again."

"Um."

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Gongda, as planned, you can make some trouble."

Xun You nodded and said, "Okay."
