When Li Xun arrived at the You family, he was taken into the big study room. When he went in, he saw that there were not many people, but they were all heavyweights.

Sitting at the top are the two oldest men, Liu Jie and You Yuanfeng, and on both sides are four seats each. On the right are You Mingyuan, who is idle at home, Liu Guanghui and Xie Shiyuan, the prime minister of the dynasty, and on the left are Pei Shichang, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Luo Yuanjie, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Gong Biemao, the Hongluo Minister of the Rites, and Xu Ruotang.

Among them are those who are familiar with Li Xun, those who are not familiar with him, and those who meet for the first time, such as Gong Biemao, the minister of the Honglu, but regardless of these, all the people who sit there, except Li Xun, are from families and are all core figures with the right to decide the family.

"Li Xiangguo!"

Pei Shichang, Luo Yuanjie, Gong Biemo, including Xu Ruotang, who is very experienced, all of them stood up to make a living when they saw Li Xun coming. The others were fine, but they just maintained a kind of respect and politeness of subordinates to their superiors, with a polite smile on their faces. However, Li Xun felt a hint of enthusiasm and eagerness on the smile on Xu Ruotang's face.

Li Xun looked at Xu Ruotang, smiled and bowed to them, then walked forward and walked to the middle, bowed to You Yuanfeng above, Liu Jie bowed and said, "I have met the old man, the old prime minister Liu."

Liu Jie laughed and said, "You and I are considered old friends, so there is no need to be too polite."

The Zhengshi Hall was in the palace. After Li Xun recognized his aunt Li Yi in the 15th year of Guangyuan, he quickly followed Zhao Xun, the King of Qi at that time, and often went in and out of the palace. Therefore, although this was the first time he and Liu Jie were facing words in a real sense, the two did meet each other often by chance before, and they were considered old acquaintances.

You Yuanfeng hummed twice, his expression gloomy, and Li Xun felt a little strange. He had known this old man for several years and had met many times. No matter when or what happened, You Yuanfeng always had an indifferent attitude and expression, as if nothing in this world could affect his mood. But now, You Yuanfeng's face is very bad, straightforward and without any concealment. It is really rare for people like him.

Li Xun didn't ask much, then greeted You Mingyuan and others again. Liu Guanghui and Xie Shiyuan nodded with a smile, saying hello, and You Mingyuan said softly: "Sit down and start discussing things."

Li Xun nodded and sat on the last empty seat on the right.

Xie Shiyuan said softly: "Everyone, today the two old prime ministers summon us..."

"Don't talk about those useless ones, I don't have that patience."

You Yuanfeng waved impatiently and interrupted Xie Shiyuan's words.

Xie Shiyuan glanced at You Yuanfeng, nodded and smiled, stopped talking, his face remained the same, without any dissatisfaction, because he knew that You Yuanfeng was such a person, and such a personality had no other meaning.

"You Yuanfeng, now is not the time to worry."

Liu Jie laughed indifferently.

You Yuanfeng rolled his eyes and ignored Liu Jie. The conversation between the two today seemed ordinary, but in fact they were all competing in secret, and they wanted to be superior to each other. But the final result was obviously that You Yuanfeng was at a disadvantage, which made him feel very disgusted. He hadn't met for decades, and Liu Jie took advantage of him as soon as he met. You Yuanfeng's mentality suddenly became a little explosive.

You Yuanfeng looked at Liu Guanghui and said in a deep voice: "Liu Guanghui, you are most familiar with the situation in the court in recent years. What is the situation? Let me tell you about it."

Liu Guanghui said softly: "I wonder what aspect of the situation the old man wants to know?"

You Yuanfeng said: "What is your old man's purpose here today? Do you have to say more?"

Liu Jie also said indifferently: "Guanghui, show your honesty and you can tell everything."

Each family has its own source of information and methods. In the past twenty years, since You Yuanfeng retreated from the position of prime minister, no one in the You family can stand up and reach the peak of the political level. If you can't reach that level, you will not be able to accurately obtain and know the subtle changes in the information and situation at this level. However, the Liu family is different. Liu Jie has been working as the position of the left prime minister for more than 20 years. After he retreated, his son Liu Guanghui immediately rushed forward. Although the party of the left prime minister was disbanded and declined, the Liu family has always stood at the core of politics. The information they know is obviously much more and more abundant than any person and family present.

Liu Guanghui nodded, made up his mind, and then said slowly: "After my father retired, the party of the Left Prime Minister was completely disbanded, so that Yang Daosi died unexpectedly..."

Liu Jie retired and the party of the Left Prime Minister was completely disbanded. This was done by artificial and deliberate means, and it was not caused by strong external blows. Therefore, although the party of the Left Prime Minister was disintegrated, the political power of this party was not destroyed or disappeared, but was mostly accepted and gathered by Zhao Xun, and soon formed a new political force group, the prince party.

Yang Daosi died, and his successor was Yang Daolin. Many people thought that he was just a transition and would be replaced soon. However, with Zhao Zhi's strong support, Yang Daolin's position as right prime minister was not short-lived, but his status became more stable. Of course, Zhao Zhi did this for political purposes. Compared with Yang Binglin's ambitiousness, Yang Daolin was obviously much more gentle.

Zhao Zhi's greater consideration was that the situation in the court must be stable, maintain the previous established direction, and support two powerful but relatively mild political groups, so as to exclude all the chaotic families and ambitious people from the court.

Zhao Zhi supported Li Zhong and Yang Daolin and took over Liu Jie and Yang Daolin as the position and role of Liu Jie and Yang Daolin. The two major political groups continued to maintain the two sides. The formation of this situation continued to maintain the existing overall situation. It was originally very good, but Zhao Zhi might not have expected that Li Zhong and Yang Daolin, both prestige and qualifications, were no less than Liu Jie and Yang Daolin's former political abilities and means. Compared with Liu Jie and Yang Daolin, Li Zhong and Yang Daolin were far behind. Faced with such a complex and dark situation in the court, Li Zhong and Yang Daolin did their best, and could only maintain relative stability, not chaos, and could not change or break through. When Zhao Zhi was there, it was nothing. Now that Zhao Zhi has passed away, Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, a new dynasty, a new situation, Li Zhong and Yang Daolin are obviously unable to keep up with the overall situation.
