Chapter 277

Shortly after Zhou Ziliang left the palace, he heard about the emperor summoning three prime ministers. Then he learned about Yan Tingzhi being impeached by the Censorate, and a cold sweat broke out at that time!

If the emperor asked him about something, he showed a little bit of his intention to be Yan Tingzhi, and he would probably be in trouble this time.

Although Li Longji became disgusted with Yan Tingzhi because of the Wang Yuanyan case, he did not let him go to the cabinet, but did not beat him to death with one stick. Instead, he was temporarily demoted to another place to be the governor.

After looking at Xiao Jing, who was reinstated, he knew that Yan Tingzhi still had hope to return to the court in the future.

The personnel adjustments in the court seemed to be in danger, but in fact they were undercurrents. When the specific news was delivered to Zhou Erzhu, far away in Qinghai, as fast as possible, everything was settled and could not be changed.

Zhou Er held a special secret document for the Zhou family that was sent by the ride-hailing horses as fast as possible, several times faster than the delivery speed of the imperial court's residence. He carefully considered the meaning of the letter his father wrote to him one by one.

"Oh, I have to do it all, but I didn't think that Li Linfu has this trick! I probably won't have a better life in Longyou now... His sister, it would be fine if she became the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, but the dog-good one actually replaced Li Yi and became the Minister of War. Wouldn't my every move in the future fall into the eyes of this old dog?"

Zhou Chengye shook his head while muttering to read the secret letter, completely ignoring the Zhang brothers, Lei Wanchun and others standing beside him.

Li Linfu, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, became a "dog day" and an "old dog" in Zhoutu. When Zhang Ying heard this, Zhang Xiu and Lei Wanchun had a look of approval and anger, as if they were empathetic and empathetic!

However, he was angry with his group of little brothers on Tuesday. This news really made people feel a little frustrated and depressed.

Yan Tingzhi, the prime minister who was originally promising, was defeated by Mingzhou because of his carelessness. He was temporarily unable to fight with Li Linfu. Zhang Jiuling, who had been taking care of Tuesday, also left the center of the Political Affairs Hall. What made Zhou Er even more alert was that Li Linfu served as the Minister of War since then, which was much more powerful than the Minister of Rites he had served as the Minister of Rites.

Although Li Yi, the Minister of War, was old, his mind was not necrotic. The orders he issued to various states were basically not instructed by outsiders. After all, Li Yi was a famous general who personally took charge of the battlefield.

But Li Linfu is not a good commander who knows military affairs and is good at fighting. This guy has never even really been on the battlefield. Li Linfu is good at engaging in conspiracies and tricks, and is a completely out of the way to use military strategies that combine strategic planning, victory thousands of miles away.

I remember Tuesday that during the more than ten years when Li Linfu controlled the government, he tried his best to suppress the generals guarding various places, so that a group of capable generals in the Tang Dynasty were either removed from the army or sued by him or sent to prison for various crimes. The most typical representative figure was Wang Zhongsi.

Of course, Li Linfu is not an incompetent mediocre person. He is still very capable and capable in assisting the emperor in governing internal affairs. Otherwise, he would not have been trusted and valued by Li Longji, so that he could have worked as prime minister for a full nineteen years!

Li Longji is prone to being confused when he is old, which is what he will do later, but now he is only over fifty years old, and he has remained sober enough for a long time and can make correct decisions about state affairs and major policies.

Tuesday's concerns focused on two aspects.

First, he was worried that Li Linfu would take revenge if he could send Shenwei Army into dangerous situations from the Ministry of War, such as asking him to lead his army deep into Tubo to launch a surprise attack, such as mobilizing Shenwei Army to stay away from the base camp to fight the Turks in the north, or allowing Shenwei Army to follow Gao Xianzhi's army to expedition to Hengluo and Tochar, etc.

Secondly, he was worried that Xiao Jing, who returned to the Ministry of Revenue, would continue to stumbling against the Shenwei Army and the Zhou family under the secret instruction of Li Linfu, such as deliberately delaying and deducting the Shenwei Army's military pay, adding various taxes to various industries operated by the Zhou family, and secretly inciting other big families to compete with the Zhou family, and to run the Chen family and Zhou family's operations in business.

At that time, a small Wannian County Magistrate Cui Yimin could incite more than a dozen restaurants in the West City to join forces to deal with Si Jiyuan and Chengen Building. Now, Xiao Jing, the Minister of Revenue, who is supported by the prime minister, will deliberately attack the Zhou family, and the energy that can be mobilized must be amazing.

Although he was worried, Zhou Er was somewhat calm when he saw his father Zhou Ziliang being promoted again and he had already taken the position of chief of the Censorate.

Zhou Ziliang, the position of the Censor General of the Censor, is unusual. To put it bluntly, he is specialized in rectifying and supervising all officials for the emperor. In the future, even if Li Linfu and Xiao Jing want to deal with the Zhou family, they will have to rack their brains to think of some tricks that are not easy to be discovered.

This is like the later cabinet prime ministers want to deal with the top leaders in charge of justice and supervision, and one of them may not be able to do so, but he will instead get himself in.

What made Tuesday more gratifying was that after the third-ranked new prime minister Chen Xilie and he joined Luoyang, he had been in good private relationships over the past two years. I believe that if Li Linfu wanted to deal with him, Old Chen would at least secretly inform him and reveal some inside information about the Political Affairs Hall to him in a timely manner.

In addition, although the second-ranked prime minister Niu Xianke dared not disobey Li Linfu's intention, this person has a good character. He is a steadfast and good man who works hard. Moreover, Niu Xianke is a person who knows the army and the army. It may be impossible for him to help him blatantly, but it is difficult for others to secretly stumbling on Zhou Tuesday and Shenwei's army.

Lao Niu's position as Minister of Works seems to be less popular than the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, but it is exactly the right appetite for Tuesday!

What does the Ministry of Industry do? That is the central department of the later Academy of Engineering, the Ministry of Science and Technology, water conservancy and construction industries, and that is, the core department that truly promotes the development of science and technology.

If Tuesday wants to grow and grow in the future, it will inevitably open the time traveler's golden fingers that are strong in technology and technology power. As long as Niu Xianke does not make trouble with Tuesday or even occasionally has some support, Tuesday will be invincible.

After thinking through this, I immediately picked up a pen to write a secret letter to my father on Tuesday.

In this secret letter, Zhou Chengye was full of joy and congratulations, and did not show any concern or anxiety. He strongly encouraged Zhou Ziliang to continue to fight steadily, and not to make things difficult for all officials or to compete with the influential Li Linfu. Just do the things that the emperor gave him safely.

The central meaning of this letter on Tuesday is: Dad, please feel free to be promoted, try not to mess around in Chang'an City. Leave it to your son to deal with Li Linfu!

In other words, I wanted to move the home court of the struggle from Chang'an City to Longyou on Tuesday.

The position of the Censor Zhongcheng is really sensitive. In the future, Zhou Ziliang's every move will fall into the eyes of the emperor and the government and the people. Although it is indeed scary to clean up and rectify some officials, it will also arouse jealousy and defense from many people.

Based on the principle of "do more mistakes, do less mistakes, do less mistakes, and do not do well", Tuesday suggested that my father keep a low profile after taking office and keep his edge, but it also conforms to the enemy's strategy of advancing and retreating.

Even if Li Linfu has been making all kinds of tricks to persecute people, it is not that easy for him to suppress Tuesday immediately. Regardless of the fact that Tuesday is now deeply trusted and favored by the emperor, Chang'an City is more than 2,000 miles away from Fuqi City, and Tuesday is now a senior officer who leads a single army. His ordinary tricks and methods are just tickling for him. Unless he himself makes people catch the handle, the contest is far from over.

That winter, Zhou Chengye did not return to Chang'an for the New Year, but just stayed at the west of Qinghai Lake where the cold weather was cold, so that many princes and princes in Chang'an City were about to forget the once leading Zhou family Erlang.

During the Chinese New Year, on Tuesday, through Gao Lishi, he handed over a total of up to three million yuan of "filial piety" to the major shareholder of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there were thousands of good horses from Qinghai Lake and some rare treasures from countries in the Western Regions.

The reason why Tuesday was so sensible and capable made Li Longji happy again. He once again praised Zhou Jia Erlang in front of Gao Lishi, feeling that there were too few ministers who were so loyal to the country and could understand the sacred intentions. If all the ministers in the court could be like Zhou Jia Erlang, what an exciting scene would be!

Given that Zhou Ziliang was promoted to the post of the year before, and that his current official position on Tuesday was already a stunning high vocation among military generals, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty temporarily suppressed his joy and only promoted the Zhou family's Dalang Chengzhi to a little.

What official did Li Longji grant Zhou Chengzhi a title? That is, a small official of the Ministry of Personnel who was from the eighth rank.

Of course, this official who is indeed as big as a small sesame and mung bean among the emperors from the eighth rank, but it is an jealous position among the scholars who are busy with the imperial examinations.

The Ministry of Personnel is the first of the six ministries, and the Minister of Personnel has always been on par with the prime minister. If officials in the world want to be promoted and transferred, don’t do it through the Ministry of Personnel. Zhou Chengzhi was worried about a place to enter the Four-Sectar Museum a few years ago, but now he has easily entered the most powerful key department of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as Tuesday continues to make His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty happy every year and every month, then in time, Zhou Chengzhi will naturally rise in the Ministry of Personnel. It will not be difficult to be a real lack of master-in-law at that time.

On Tuesday, far away in Longyou, in addition to offering filial piety to His Majesty the Emperor, of course, he will not forget those elders and peers who silently helped, cared for and loved him.

King Guang Li Ju, King Shou Li Mao, King Zhong Li Heng, King Runan Li Jun, King Runan Li Jun, Zhang Jiuling, Li Yi, He Zhizhang, Gao Lishi, Yan Tingzhi, Wang Fen, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Wu Zhong, and other royal relatives and senior officials and nobles received annual gifts and money gifts given in the name of Tuesday. The quantity and weight did not decrease at all, but instead became richer.
