Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 17 Political EQ is too low

Liu Ming knelt down behind the imperial court and pretended to read the memorial.

The so-called memorial is to write down the things to be reported on the slips and submit them to the emperor in advance, so that the emperor can be aware of the main matters before the court meeting. Important matters will also be discussed in an internal court meeting, which is similar to that of later generations. brewing before the meeting.

In this way, the emperor will not have to make on-the-spot decisions every time he goes to court, and it can also improve the efficiency of the court meeting.

From time to time, he looked up to see the performances and games among the courtiers in the audience.

Why did Yuan Wei take the initiative to refute Gai Xun? It's not that the Yuan family has any grudges against Gai Xun, it's mainly because Dong Zhuo is an old official of the Yuan family.

As a great noble family, the Yuan family was firmly in the court, but its power was not only in the court, nor among the civil servants. A large number of military generals were also students and former officials of the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo is one of them.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he served as a captain in the Western Regions, but he was dismissed for committing crimes. Yuan Wei recruited him as an official again, and became the governor of Bingzhou, paving the way for his subsequent rise.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Wei was Dong Zhuo's benefactor in the officialdom. Now Dong Zhuo is the commanding general of the Weizhen side at the border. As a border general with military power, Dong Zhuo is naturally an important assistant in maintaining the stability of the Yuan family's status. At critical moments, Can be of great use.

How could Yuan Wei be willing to watch such an important chess piece being abandoned? Therefore, you were the first to stand up and oppose the punishment of Dong Zhuo.

At this time, another person walked out of the civil service train and knelt down. Everyone saw that he was a gray-haired veteran, but he was upright. It was Shangshu Lu Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is a man that I know very well. He has always been arrogant and domineering, and he has no real talent or learning. He should not be entrusted with important responsibilities." Lu Zhi said loudly, "I suggest that even if Dong Zhuo is not recalled and punished, he should be Another good general was sent to supervise Dong Zhuo and prevent him from acting rashly. Huangfu Song is a famous general in the world. He has many military exploits and is knowledgeable about military matters. It is a pity that he is idle at home now. It would be better..."

Jian Shuo suddenly interrupted Lu Zhi and said: "Huangfu Song is a guilty person. Your Majesty has already concluded that removing him from office is a mercy. How can he be re-employed? There is no need to raise this issue again."

Huangfu Song originally had great military exploits, but he couldn't deal with Shi Changshi. As a result, Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and others conspired to fabricate a crime, and he was almost beheaded. In the end, the ministers begged for mercy, and he was dismissed from office and returned home. end.

Now how can Jian Shuo let Huangfu Song come back again? It is even less possible to give it military power.

What's more, when they were planning to deal with Gai Xun's memorial, they never considered sending someone else to control Dong Zhuo.

"Humph, you are an eunuch who has no roots, deceives the emperor and neglects his superiors, and brings trouble to the court. How can you understand military affairs?" Lu Zhi scolded.

Lu Zhi's insults were already heavy, so it's no wonder he was angry. In his early years, when he was fighting the Yellow Turban rebellion, he was almost killed by Dong Zhuo and the eunuchs. Now when I see the eunuchs colluding with the foreign generals and stirring up trouble, I immediately get angry.

"I propose that we conduct a thorough investigation of the ten permanent servants to see if anyone is colluding with the party and intending to commit rebellion!" Lu Zhi said loudly, his white beard raised up from his head, which made the Qufei Hall buzz.

Yuan Wei saw that Dong Zhuo's matter had been transferred to another focus. He was determined and stood aside to watch the changes.

He Jinze's eyes lit up. Originally, he wanted to use the power of the Yuan family to provoke a battle against the Shi Changshi, especially Jian Shuo. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi appeared halfway. Anyone who goes up will go up. If someone starts, he will Easy to handle.

He glanced sideways at Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, and saw that they were standing there with no intention of moving, so he took a step forward and said loudly: "What Lu Shangshu said is absolutely true. How can an eunuch know military affairs? I suggest Che Investigate the ten permanent servants, first remove Jian Shuo from the rank of military captain, and then thoroughly investigate whether he is colluding with foreign enemies."

He Jin's purpose was very clear, and that was Jian Shuo. On the one hand, he did not want Jian Shuo to participate in the crown prince's dethronement. On the other hand, Jian Shuo's military commander had great pressure on him as a general, which affected his position in Kyoto. The military power of the land.

So it must be eliminated.

Gai Xun, who was the first to report to the court today, rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo and the Shi Changshi colluded internally and externally to support the troops and respect themselves. I suggest that Dong Zhuo and the Shi Changshi should be thoroughly investigated together." , many of them were bribed by the eunuchs and Dong Zhuo, but there were also many who hated these two groups of people. Gai Xun was one of them. He could attack the servants in front of Jian Shuo in front of the emperor. How could he think of him? How much I hate these people.

Liu Ming watched all this happily, as if he was watching a wonderful drama performance. Battles in the court would happen every time, but the fundamental thing was still a struggle for interests.

He is just a stand-in now, and he has only been in the job for a short time. He has just settled down and cannot make drastic changes, otherwise Jian Shuo and Ling Emperor will make him disappear in a minute.

What he can do, and has already started to do, is to use his strength to fight.

"Bold, my military power was granted by His Majesty. Are you questioning His Majesty's lack of understanding of the personnel he employs?" Jian Shuo's face turned red and he argued loudly.

Although Zhang Rang next to him was also nervous and looked around, he was much more steady than Jian Shuo. He was looking for opportunities to counterattack, but he didn't want to help Jian Shuo. He was extremely entangled in his heart. His face twitched every now and then, showing that he was quite uneasy.

Liu Ming looked at the quarrel in the court and gently picked out his ears. He thought to himself that Jian Shuo was really a dead eunuch who only had muscles but no brains. He was obviously the one in charge of the situation, but he ended up ruining himself. He fell into the center of the storm and became the target of many courtiers.

Things have settled down so well, why do you still need me to remind you?
  This guy's political EQ is really low and he is not a good political ally. However, if this kind of person is good at using him, he can accomplish a lot of things as a gunman.

Liu Ming winked at Zhao Zhong, who immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Quiet!"

After shouting three times in a row, the hall became quiet.

Liu Ming said seductively: "I know that Jian Qing is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and is definitely not a treasonous person, but..."

As he spoke, Liu Ming glanced at the people in the audience. The courtiers all focused their attention on the stage, waiting for the next turn.

When Jian Shuo heard Liu Ming come out to rescue him, he let out a long breath, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He didn't know what he was going to say after his "but". There was often nothing good behind this turn of events.

"You kid, please don't do anything without permission." Jian Shuo prayed secretly in his heart. It is the first time for a substitute to go to court. Even if he behaves more stupidly and incompetently, it doesn't matter. His Majesty has the whole story in front of him. How can he be worse? Just don’t act bad!

"Are all the Shichang servants as loyal as Jian Qing?" Liu Ming continued, "Not necessarily! Although I favor them, I will never allow anyone who colludes with foreign enemies or surrenders to the enemy to treason!"

Speaking of the latter part, his voice could not help but rise a bit, causing the hall to buzz.

A few keen courtiers quickly noticed this. His Majesty was very energetic. This was not just a recovery, but a great victory.

I couldn't help but think carefully about my next operation.

"What do you think Jian Qing said?" Liu Ming prompted. All he had to do was hold his ear and tell him to quickly push Guo Sheng out and take the blame.

"Uh!" Jian Shuo finally came to his senses and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "Your Majesty is wise, there are indeed collaborators among the Ten Constant Attendants!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.
