"Brother Shitong, you should give us an explanation."

Xiao Hui spoke out and questioned Shengshitong.

Sheng Shitong frowned and said in a low voice: "The weapons and equipment in Anbei, Longyou and other places, as well as military facilities in some important cities, have been used for more than ten years and are dilapidated and need to be replaced and rebuilt. These matters need to be completed through the Ministry of War. Therefore, in the fiscal budgets of various departments, I give priority to the Ministry of War, so that it can have sufficient money and food, which can further expand the scale of craftsmen, purchase a large amount of required materials, enrich weapon resources and inventory, and then improve the military and military facilities in various places."

Xiao Hui laughed and said, "Sir, you said so much, I just want to ask, what does this have to do with you? What are the benefits for us?"

The Ministry of War is Zhao Xun's sphere of influence, which is the opposite force of the aristocratic families. If it is good, it will not benefit itself, but if it is bad, it will definitely be beneficial to itself. As long as there is a chance, Li Xun can be taken down and then the aristocratic families will take over the Ministry of War.

As soon as Xiao Hui said this.

Lu Zhongxun, Yu Jin, Wang Chong and others frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Hui inexplicably.

Shengshitong asked coldly: "What is the country in your heart, Xiao Hui?"

Yu Jin took over the conversation and said in a low voice: "The country cannot be in chaos now. It will be of no benefit to all of us. You, Xiao Hui, will still be restrained. Don't just think about struggle and interests. In addition to these, there are many things worth thinking about."

When Xiao Hui saw that he was targeted by everyone, his face suddenly looked ugly. He looked at Chen Hu, and asked for help in his eyes.

"Xiao Hui is also considering everyone. After all, our interests are consistent."

Chen Hu laughed and made a sound to smooth things over.

An Jian said: "Master Chen, let's get to the topic."

"We should make some clear statements."

Chen Hu nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The Emperor found me yesterday and asked again about the position of Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall and gave some opinions."

After Yang Daolin retired, there are only six prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall and there are three vacant seats.

Last year, after the Minister of Revenue He Zhongkai and the Right Minister of Personnel Zheng Renjie, the two were forced to resign from the ministers, not long after, Zhao Xun had found several representatives of the aristocratic family group and put forward some opinions, namely, two vacant seats, one on your side, one on my side, one on my side, and no one on one on one side suffered a loss, but the aristocratic family kept silent on this opinion, and this attitude meant that they did not agree.

Things have been delayed until now. With the retirement of the right prime minister Yang Daolin, there are three missing in the Nine Princesses of the Political Affairs Hall. This situation is naturally not what Zhao Xun wants to see, but for the aristocratic family group, it is time to wait for this. Now, they are ready to take action.

Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "Who is the candidate the emperor wants?"

Chen Hu said: "The emperor didn't say it clearly, but I've guessed something."

Regarding the distribution of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Xun had talked with the Aristocratic Family Group several times, but he had always deliberately hidden who it was because he was afraid that the aristocratic family would take action.

Without waiting for Chen Hu to speak, Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "Kou Shuhuai?"

Kou Shuhuai is Kou Xiong's father and the contemporary patriarch of the Kou family. He is not in Fengjing now, but is the governor of the prefectures and is in charge of the place, which is also the foundation of the Kou family.

Chen Hu glanced at Lu Zhongxun, nodded and smiled, "You guessed it's right. The emperor intends to let Kou Shuhuai succeed to the position of left prime minister."

After Yang Daolin retired, Li Zhong succeeded him and his position would go smoothly. The two sides had reached a consensus on this result, and no one fought with him, but the vacant position of the left prime minister also became the focus of everyone's attention.

Yu Jin asked at this time: "The emperor wants to exchange the seats of the two ministers of the Political Affairs Hall for the Left Prime Minister?"

Chen Hu smiled and said, "That's exactly what it means."

"I think this deal is worth the deal and can be completed."

Xiao Hui immediately expressed his support. If there were two prime ministers, he would have a chance, but if it was the other way around, he would not even think about the position of left prime minister.

Most of the people here agree with this distribution of benefits.

After all, Li Xun is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Xun has now established a new army, with a total force of up to 180,000, and the other armies in the city are also in the hands of Zhao Xun. With Li Zhong's lofty prestige in the army, even if the aristocratic families compete for the position of Left Prime Minister, they are just empty and have little practical significance.

Zhao Xun actually has another choice, which is to take the initiative to give up the position of the left prime minister to the aristocratic families. In this way, even if the position of the left prime minister is held by the aristocratic families, the actual power is still in his own hands, and the other two prime ministers can be taken over to his own position. Such interests are actually maximized. This proposal was suggested by Qian Mingdu to Zhao Xun.

Qian Mingdu's suggestion was rejected by Lu Bojiang. He told Zhao Xun that whether it is Li Xun, Li Zhong, and all the people and troops of Xinjun, they need a hub and core to dispatch and control. This core is the Zuo Prime Minister. If you give this position to the Aristocratic Family Group, they will definitely not be able to do anything good, but they can definitely be bad. It is better to take the Zuo Prime in your hands and continue to improve your political power system. Only by improving yourself can you improve yourself and then resist the challenges from the Aristocratic Family Group.

Lu Bojiang's advice was understood and supported by Zhao Xun.

Chen Hu whispered: "Actually, I'm thinking that Li Zhong's position remains unchanged, and we don't want the other two prime ministers, so we will fight for the right prime minister. In fact, there is a chance."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhongxun shook his head and said affirmatively: "Impossible."

Everyone looked at Lu Zhongxun.

Chen Hu asked, "Why is it impossible?"

"We can fight, but the final result is that no matter whether we fight or not, we will definitely break up."

Lu Zhongxun said in a deep voice: "The right prime minister is the leader of all officials. If we get it, the entire government will be dominated by us. The emperor will never allow this result and will definitely stop it with all his strength. Fengjing, whose military power and dominance are in the hands of the emperor, will really tear the face and make a life-and-death situation. What do you think the emperor will do?"

After hearing Lu Zhongxun's words, everyone was silent. If they really made a fuss to that point, the emperor had military power in his hands, he would have possible to take that step. Although this possibility is extremely low, it is not impossible. After all, if a person is forced into a desperate situation, anything can be done.
