After leaving the Chugong Hall, Wang Zeng took a deep breath in front of Beifeng, closing his eyes. . After a while of update, he let out a heavy breath and looked up and walked towards the opposite side.

In the past six months, Lu Yijian has been suppressed everywhere. Wang Zeng felt that he could not stay in the Political Affairs Hall. Today, he finally let out a sigh of anger and caught Lu Yijian off guard, feeling extremely happy.

The two prime ministers, Lu Yijian, were busy cultivating party members and placing people, and gradually manipulating the government affairs in his own hands. Wang Zengze, because Zhao Zhenchu ​​was in power and was young, was afraid that young people would make impulsive and bad things, so he advocated steady and steady everywhere. As a result, in one or two years, Wang Zeng, who advocated being mature and persistent, gradually became the political affairs hall of Lu Yijian.

Wang Zeng had his own opinions on the affairs of the court, but the more he went, the more he found that he was restricted by Lu Yijian and was almost unable to move forward. Moreover, he was a kind gentleman who did not make personal gains all his life, and he was even more disgusted with Lu Yijian's formation of gangs and private affairs. The close comrades who once supported each other when Empress Dowager Liu was in power eventually drifted away, and Wang Zeng stood opposite Lu Yijian.

If it was a year ago when Xu Ping was still in the capital, Wang Zeng would be the first to oppose the new policy. But once and for a while, the result of his hard work was to hand over the power to Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng's mind began to change slowly. Since he could not stop Lu Yijian from controlling the government, why not let Xu Ping, a naughty young man, rush? Lu Yijian, who has become a powerful net, fears the most now is change. Once it changes, it is easy to lose control, and many layouts are useless.

However, in a year, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng's attitude towards Xu Ping was gone. Things are impermanent, but that's it.

Back in the political affairs hall, Lu Yijian sat by the brazier and closed his eyes to rest, without saying anything. Song Shou and Cai Qi were obviously absent-minded when handling some official duties. Wang Zeng was in a relaxed mood. While watching Song Shou and Cai Qi handle official duties, he picked up the official documents on the table and looked at them all over the place.

It was short winter, and as soon as the court officials passed noon, officials went home one after noon. At noon, Song Shou asked to give up some trivial matters at home and left first.

Cai Qi looked at the sky and said to Wang Zeng: "My husband, it's gloomy outside, and it may snow at any time. It's better to go home early. There is no urgent matter on the left and right, so you don't have to stay here."

"Okay, I'll go back first." Wang Zeng stood up, turned around and looked at Lu Yijian, and smiled, "It's not good, Tanfu should go home with me. Just leave the chores to Zisi in the city."

Lu Yijian slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "I won't be anxious for now. It's not too late to deal with the accumulated official documents here. Xiaoxian's mansion is a little far away from the imperial city, so take a step first."

If there are no urgent business affairs in the Political Affairs Hall, you can go home after you leave the house. There is no reason to sit in the yamen every day when you reach this position. There is a priest on duty every day in the Political Affairs Hall, and the matters that are not important can be handled directly. Today, Cai Qi is on duty, and everyone else can go home after get off work.

At this time, Wang Zeng was really worried about Lu Yijian. The two of them had been dealing with each other for many years, from friends to hostility, and knew each other very well. Wang Zeng knew that Lu Yijian was a person, selfish and good fortune, but it would not be abolished by the public because of personal gain. He had a strong desire for power in his heart, but he was sleek and skillful, so he would never catch any handle. In fact, the court knew that Lu Yijian formed a party for personal gain, but no one could tell who was the one who was Lu Yijian's party. This was Lu Yijian's cleverness and Wang Zeng's helplessness. He knew that Lu Yijian's fault was there, but he was like the wind, unable to see or catch it, and could only do nothing. Compared with Ding Wei, a powerful minister, Lu Yijian really didn't know how much clever he was.

When he walked to the door, Wang Zeng turned around again, looked at Lu Yijian, who was sitting there, and looked at Cai Qi again, and finally left the Political Affairs Hall. With Cai Qi here, Lu Yijian couldn't do anything, right?

The wind outside was getting heavier and louder, whistling and manic, making the window rustle.

Lu Yijian opened his eyes and sighed: "What can I do with such a cold weather? There is a fire in Xuping's Yongning Marquis' Mansion. I heard that the room is as warm as spring in the cold winter. When will I get free time? It's better to install it in the political affairs hall, so that it will be impossible to sit in the place when winter comes."

Cai Qi said: "Although I say this, it's just not good to do it really. When the emperor met the minister, he still didn't produce any charcoal. Why do we, as ministers, pretend to be those in the yamen? It was passed on to the great house, and everyone looked bad."

"I heard that Xu Ping pretended a lot back then, but he didn't say anything."

Cai Qi shook his head: "Young Master only knows one thing, not the other. Xu Ping pretended to be in the Sansi Yamen where officials were doing things, and there were also those big rooms where classes were taught, and his own chief officials' hall was not in place. However, I heard that the Sansi Yamen had someone pretended to be fire, and several generals in charge of the army were not left behind."

Lu Yi simply stood up, shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it, how can we argue with a few martial artists? If you don't pretend in the political affairs hall, don't pretend. You haven't been in the fire for so many years, you've come here. By the way, are there any important documents today?"

"No, it's all daily trivial matters. By the way, the Xijing Left-behind Office sent a memorial to him, and the servant Li Shu drafted the edict to them. I have put it on my husband's case table. You can return it to them after signing it."

Lu Yijian nodded, and took up Li Shu's imperial edict on the table with expressionless expression.

The Hanlin Bachelor of the Academy of Sciences is internal, and he is responsible for drafting edicts and is responsible to the emperor. The outside court has no right to inquire about it. Of course, the scope of the internal system is strictly limited. In addition to the ritual words such as offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors, as well as words that show the great grace of the emperor, such as the great etiquette of the emperor, and the status of the emperor as appointing or promotion to the governor, etc., the status of the position of the prime minister is equivalent to the appointment and removal of the prime minister. The Sherenyuan's Zhizhi is external, belonging to the outside court and is responsible to the prime minister. Generally, the court official affairs are drafted by the Sherenyuan's Zhizhizhi, approved by the prime minister. Although the imperial edict is also issued in the name of the emperor, it is actually handled by the prime minister.

At this time, the Sherenyuan could not talk about any independence. When the prime minister felt unsatisfied, he could send it back and revise it again, or even not send it back, and it was normal for him to directly revise it. In history, Cai Xiang directed the Sherenyuan, and insisted on not allowing the prime minister to modify the edict he drafted, either refuting it or publishing it directly. The Sherenyuan had a certain independent status compared to the Secretariat, forming another force that restrained the prime minister.
