In Gu Zuo's plan, the prince, Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong were divided into three parties. Let Gao Lishi serve as Shangshu Ling, giving him real power to compete with the prince and Zhengshitang, and with the support of Longwu Army and Yulin Army

, he is truly a single party.

The prince has obtained two important positions. Wei Jiansu can still speak out in the political hall, and Li Fuguo has entered the inner palace. After gaining the power of Qianniu Guards in the future, the prince will be able to protect himself.

On Yang Guozhong's side, he once again reaffirmed his status as prime minister. With Fang Guan helping him in the political affairs hall, and Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and even Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi helping him in the military affairs, there was no need to worry that the new emperor would be unfavorable to him after he ascended the throne.

.

To be honest, the reason why Gu Zuo wants to transfer Li Siye to the Yulin Army by name is because the list of generals under Yang Guozhong is a bit too scary, and balance must be considered. If there is only one Chen Xuanli on Gao Lishi's side, it will be too thin.

Gao Lishi was very satisfied with such an arrangement, and Yang Guozhong was very satisfied, but Li Fuguo and Wei Jiansu were not satisfied. They were not dissatisfied. The fact that the prince could ascend the throne was the greatest satisfaction. The key was that Yang Guozhong had tricked the prince without knowing it.

How many times have you been able to sit in the prime minister's seat? How can you explain to the prince when you return?

"Sir!" Li Fuguo said with an apologetic smile: "Can we discuss the candidates for the political affairs hall with the prince again?"

Gu Zuo was surprised: "Discuss? Aren't I discussing with you? If you all agree, I will go to the prince to report."

Wei Jiansu was the crown prince's designated right-hand prime minister. If Yang Guozhong didn't resign, how could he ascend to the throne? The crown prince, Li Fuguo and others respected Gu Zuo so highly, but deep down he disapproved of it, so he didn't have the same awe as Li Fuguo from the bottom of his heart.

, when it comes to your own future, of course you have to fight hard.

"Gu Changshi, whoever enters the political affairs hall is the exclusive responsibility of the emperor. I am afraid that we and other ministers can't discuss it? Even if you are the grand master, you will have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne. I think, who can do this?

Prime Minister, you don’t need me to say more, just ask Li Zhai’s envoy to go to the East Palace and ask what the prince’s intention is.”

Gu Zuo frowned and said: "What Xiang Wei means is that our discussion today will not count?"

Wei Jiansu said: "As for the Zhengshitang, I think this is the responsibility of the emperor. You'd better not overstep it."

Gu Zuodao: "Then I'm surprised. It's the emperor's exclusive responsibility to choose the prime minister of the political affairs hall. We can't even make suggestions, but we can recommend the prince to the throne. What's the truth?"

Wei Jiansu said: "It is the duty of a minister to support the prince, and it is the duty of the prince to hold ministers accountable. Everyone should perform their duties, and the world will be safe."

Gu Zuo rolled his eyes, but before he could say anything, Fang Guan had already snatched him away: "Times are changing, and we can't stick to the rules. Today's thing is to be flexible. As Wei Xiang said, what should I do here? Why not?

Go back and rest."

Wei Jiansu asked: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

Fang Guan said: "If you don't know how to adapt and say that everyone should perform their own duties, then why don't we go into the palace, pay your respects to His Majesty, and support the prince here. Is this what Prime Minister Wei said is the duty of a minister?"

This sentence was so harsh that it immediately made Wei Jiansu unable to breathe. Not only was he breathless, but everyone else had stern expressions on their faces, only Gu Zuoan looked calm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Fuguo secretly complained hard to Wei Jiansu, saying in his heart what kind of tricks are you doing? If you do well, you can make the crown prince ascend the throne immediately. If you are not creating trouble here, you will be right prime minister against Yang Guozhong.

Not satisfied? Can't you wait until His Highness the Crown Prince sits on the throne before taking a long-term approach?

Immediately he praised: "What Mr. Fang said makes sense. As for Mr. Wei, there have been a lot of changes today. He has not thought well and made some mistakes. Please don't worry about it, Mr. Gu. We think Mr. Gu's plan is very appropriate."

Wei Jiansu held it in his heart and felt very uncomfortable. The long-awaited position of prime minister was thought to be obtained today. Who knew that Gu Zuo would not deal with Yang Guozhong, but would support Yang Guozhong to continue to be in power? How could this be?

But even Li Fuguo said this, what could he do? He could only swallow the bad breath in his chest without saying a word.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Gu Zuo didn't have time to discuss so much here, so he decided: "Do you have any objections?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, he asked Wei Jiansu: "What did Wei Xiang say?"

To be honest, Gu Zuo asked sincerely and did not deliberately make things difficult. Since Wei Jiansu had raised an objection just now, he naturally wanted to confirm. Who would have thought that this ordinary question made Wei Jiansu feel like he was being stepped on?

Tails was equally excited.

"How to say? What can I say? You have already made up your mind, what else can I say? I just advise Gu Changshi, ministers are not ministers, and kings are not kings. Unforeseen disasters will happen! If this is what happens to you, there is nothing I can do about it, but

I absolutely agree!"

Gu Zuo frowned, thinking that this guy really took the medicine, so he said: "Since Wei Xiang is unwilling to second the proposal, then please come back. If you have different opinions, you will not be in conflict with each other."

Wei Jiansu said sternly: "I am the Tongping Zhangshi appointed by His Majesty, and you have no right to remove me from my post!"

Gu Zuodao: "Why should I remove you from office? I'm not the emperor. You should still do your duties and do whatever you need to do. In short, today's discussion has nothing to do with you, so step down."

Wei Jiansu got up angrily and left on the spot. After leaving the Xihe Gym, he was still in a bad mood. For a moment, he had the idea of ​​going to the palace to inform. But as soon as the idea changed, he gave up. He really didn't dare to go.

I wanted to go to the Political Affairs Hall, but I saw nearly a hundred court officials gathered outside the Xihe Gymnasium. Most of the people who worked in the Political Affairs Hall were among them. At this moment, I knew that even if I went, I was afraid that no one would pay attention to me. Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Dao

A person came out of the hall, it was Li Fuguo.

Wei Jiansu snorted coldly and slowed down. His thoughts had reached this point. Could he still want to persuade him to go back? He was really wishful thinking!

He slowed down his steps and waited for Li Fuguo to come up and ask him if the things the prince had promised still count.

Then I heard Li Fuguo shout loudly from behind: "Yuan Gongfu! Yuan Langzhong! Who has seen Yuan Zai?"

Someone pushed Yuan Zai out from behind Baiguan. Yuan Zai asked, "Envoy Li Zhai, what's the matter? The official is here..."

Li Fuguo smiled and said, "Do you still remember the fortune-telling your husband gave you?"

Yuan Zai's cheeks were beating wildly, and his heart said no, no, no, no, no, no, he held his breath: "I am a low-ranking official, how dare you think..."

Li Fuguodao: "Mr. Gu suggested that Yuan Lang be moved to the position of Minister of Household Affairs, and Quan be admitted to the political affairs hall to participate in political affairs. The general, Yang Xiang and Fang Xiang all agreed."

Although there is no label of "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi" and no rank, participating in political affairs is equivalent to gaining the qualification to enter the political hall to discuss politics. Even if there is the word "quan" in front of it, I believe it will be removed soon.

.

Yuan Zai was so happy that he almost fainted. He was led hand in hand by Li Fuguo into the Xihe Gym. He didn't even know how his feet moved.
