Zhao Xun looked at Lu Zhongxun with a gloomy expression. Before he could speak, he stood up as a minister. Is there any rules?

Lu Zhongxun is 63 years old this year. He is smart and cunning and eloquent. He was a Jinshi at the age of 20. He was once a high-ranking official of the Left Minister of Personnel in the Pingzong Dynasty. However, this person was too ambitious and had too tough political attitude. He often left no room for fighting with others. His methods were very cruel. However, such people were often very decisive and courageous in doing things. He was once trusted and valued by Emperor Pingzong and had the opportunity to win the position of prime minister. However, after Zhao Zhi took the position of crown prince, he joined forces with Yang Daosi, Hong Zhi and You Yuanfeng. The two sides fought fiercely several times, and eventually drove Lu Zhongxun out of the court and out of Fengjing. He left for more than 30 years.

For so many years, Lu Zhongxun has been working at home. He was born in poverty, but his personal abilities are very strong. In his early years, he was the previous clan leader of the Wang family in Huainan, and was also the prime minister of Pingzong at that time. He was recruited as a son-in-law. The current clan leader of the Wang family in Huainan was named Wang Chongshu. This person has a mediocre ability. When he was young, he passed his father's family's family, and briefly served for several years. In his later years, the political situation was extremely complicated and he was competing with many parties. If Wang Chongshu and Lu Zhongxun were both in the court, it would definitely lead to the dispersion of family power. Therefore, after his father, Wang Chongshu simply resigned from his official position and returned to the position of successor clan leader in Huainan, focusing on managing family affairs. The court was fully managed by Lu Zhongxun.

Zhao Zhi's dynasty has created the strength of the Yang clan and the land of Shuzhou has become the owner of the Yang clan, but with the strong help of Yang Daosi and the entire Yang clan, most of the aristocratic families were expelled from the core of political rights. Without too many factional disputes, the dynasty has maintained a relatively stable situation for more than 20 years.

However, with Zhao Zhi's death and Zhao Xun ascended the throne, the situation in the entire court began to change. Once outside the core of political rights, those aristocratic families made a comeback. As the political leader of the Wang family in Huainan, Lu Zhongxun stood on the stage of political rights again with the full support and promotion of the entire family.

Zhao Xun looked at Lu Zhongxun and said in a cold voice: "What's the matter with Mr. Lu?"

Lu Zhongxun took out the memorial and said loudly: "I impeach the prime minister, He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie. The two are close friends, form cliques for personal gain, crack down on court officials, eliminate dissidents, and accept corruption and bribes."

As soon as Lu Zhongxun said this, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.

It is a common occurrence for ministers to impeach the Prime Minister of the State Council. No one is perfect. Although the Prime Minister has a high position and power, he also concentrates everyone's attention. Once any faults and shortcomings occur, someone will definitely take the opportunity to report and impeach him. Once successful, this person will surely become famous all over the world and be famous. Of course, the chance of success of the ministers is very low, because he has achieved the high position of the Prime Minister of the State Council. This is the common will of the emperor to many court officials and most people, so it is not a single person or a small faction that can be easily defeated.

During the Zhao Zhi period, officials impeached the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall. As long as it was not a complete false accusation, even if the proceedings were not true, they would not be punished in most cases. This is also a kind of suppression and restraint of the prime minister. However, one thing is that in the court, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, it rarely happens, because the consequences of doing so, both sides have no way out.

When Zhao Xun heard Lu Zhongxun’s comments, his expression was also shocked.

Xiao Lezi hurriedly walked down, took the memorial, and then returned and handed it to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun opened the memorial to watch.

Lu Zhongxun's words were very intense in the memorial.

Zheng Renjie and He Zhongkai have been in the position of prime minister for thirteen years. Their prefectures last for a long time, second only to Yang Daosi and Liu Jie.

He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie both came from a family of officials. Their respective families were in. Because they had been a prime minister for a long time and their family strength had greatly increased. For the sake of the family's development, it was impossible not to do anything to use power for personal gain.

Zheng Renjie is not greedy for money, but greedy for power. However, his greed for power is not in the faction and court, but in the family. During the past ten years when he was a prime minister, he took advantage of the convenience of his personnel power in the Ministry of Personnel. With his strong promotion and help, there were as many as thirty tribes in the family who entered the officialdom through various abnormal and normal means.

He Zhongkai is just the opposite. He is not greedy for power, but greedy for money. He once said a very interesting thing: If you have no children or daughters, once you die of old age, what's the use of power? Who can you pass it on to? So it's better to get more money, at least after you die, you can bury yourself with me.

He Zhongkai's nephew He Ming-tung holds an official position in the Ministry of Revenue. Although his rank is not high, it is a core position. He is corruption in the Ministry of Revenue. What he does is just under his nose. Does He Zhongkai know nothing and cannot see anything? This can only be said that He Zhongkai intends to indulge, or that he is corruption through He Ming-tung's hands.

But He Zhongkai has one thing different from others. He is never greedy for big money, but only greedy for small money. He thinks that greed is too big. Once something happens, it is a big thing, and greed for small money is different. Even if something goes wrong, it is just a small problem and will not hurt the bones. However, he forgot a little bit, and if too many small problems accumulate, it will become a big problem.

He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie both have minor problems, but they are not very bad. They are also talented, which is why Zhao Zhi can tolerate and will use them.

However, if a person stays in a certain environment for a long time, he will often become numb. Before becoming prime ministers, He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie did dare to fight and fight, and made many achievements. Otherwise, Zhao Zhi would not have reused it. But now, the spirit and thoughts of He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie and his early years have obviously changed a lot.

Of course, the majority of the superior and inferior positions of a prime minister are mostly political factors.

In the memorial, Lu Zhongxun almost brought up all the old things between He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie.

Zhao Xun closed the memorial, frowned and thoughtless.

Many people know the background of He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie, but even though they know, they know that they are even more in the court. The meaning is very different.

Li Xun also attended the court meeting today. He looked at the censors. After Lu Zhongxun’s report, the censors did not do anything. This shows that today’s impeachment of He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie may have no idea about it. Lu Zhongxun obviously bypassed the Censors and broke out directly in the court.
