Chapter 105: The beginning of the turning point five

"What do those companies think?"

Wang Chongshu and Lu Zhongxun have a division of labor. Wang Chongshu has the final say in the family affairs, and Lu Zhongxun does the affairs in the officialdom.

Lu Zhongxun said: "Yang Daolin should retreat. If he doesn't retreat, we will help him retreat."

Wang Chongshu said: "It may not be easy for Yang Daolin to retreat from the right prime minister's position. It will be difficult for you to get through the emperor's level."

Lu Zhongxun smiled, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wang Chongshu, and then said, "If Yang Daolin retreated himself, what can the emperor say?"

Wang Chongshu's eyes narrowed, he picked up the teacup and drank water. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "What is the reason why Yang Daolin retreated?"

Lu Zhongxun shook his head and said with a deep look: "When today, the situation is getting more and more urgent, and for everyone, there are fewer and fewer ways to choose."

Wang Chongshu asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Lu Zhongxun looked at Wang Chongshu and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the major families have only two choices now, either retreat or go."

Wang Chongshu looked at Lu Zhongxun and waited for him to continue talking.

Lu Zhongxun took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, put down the teacup, and then continued: "The overall situation in the world has reached a limit. Either we change, or we are changed, the court is so big, and someone comes in, so naturally someone wants to go out. After this trouble, the Yang family has no place to stand in the court. The emperor has too deep a barrier for them and will never trust them. Emperor Xingzong has been excluding so many families for decades. This is the result of the Yang family's leadership. Therefore, they are resentful by many people. Yang Daolin has been hiding at home because he is afraid of being attacked by the crowd."

Wang Chongshu smiled and said, "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime."

Lu Zhongxun nodded: "Yang Daolin cannot hide forever, and we will not agree."

Yang Daolin occupies the right prime minister, which is beneficial to Zhao Xun, but this favorable situation will not continue. The overall situation of the court requires someone to take charge of the overall situation. As the left prime minister, Li Zhong, politics is not his strength, and Yang Daolin cannot play a corresponding role in the right. The two most important positions in the Political Affairs Hall have all failed. As time goes by, someone will definitely not be able to stand up and challenge this. The continuation of this situation cannot be controlled by Zhao Xun.

Wang Chongshu understood Lu Zhongxun’s meaning a little. Yang Daolin obviously had the intention to retreat. It was beneficial for Zhao Xun to stand in the right prime minister, but it was not beneficial for him and the Yang family. Instead, it became the target of everyone’s attention.

"No one can guess when Yang Daolin will withdraw."

Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "If you retreat, you have to talk about the timing. If the timing is wrong, it will cause trouble."

Wang Chongshu whispered: "Yang Run went to Lingnan this time, and this may be a good time."

As the patriarch of a family, Wang Chongshu still has basic political sensitivity. As an important figure in the Yang family, Yang Run has been in a semi-retired state in the past two years. This time he was suddenly assigned to Lingnan to handle subsequent matters. It is impossible for no reason. There must be some truths that outsiders do not know.

Lu Zhongxun pondered for a moment, then said, "Yang Run's out of the mountain may be the action of Liu Jie."

When it comes to the name Liu Jie, whether it is Wang Chongshu or Lu Zhongxun, his face has changed. This person, on the highest political stage, competed with Yang Daosi and jointly controlled the government for more than 20 years. There is no doubt about his political means and wisdom.

Wang Chongshu said: "What is Liu Jie's intention to launch Yang Run?"

Lu Zhongxun said in a deep voice: "Disrupt our plans and layout."

Wang Chongshu frowned and said, "Even if we take down Yang Daolin and the right prime minister, it will be difficult for us to take down."

The position of the right prime minister is so important. Zhao Xun definitely hopes that the people of his power group will sit on it. If others want to force him, he will definitely fight back.

Lu Zhongxun smiled and said, "I am not taking Yang Daolin for the position of right prime minister."

Wang Chongshu said inexplicably: "What is that for?"

There is no benefit, and thankless things are not something that can be done as long as you are not an idiot.

Lu Zhongxun said indifferently: "Yang Daolin retreats, the right prime minister is vacant, and we will do our best to promote Li Zhong's succession."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Chongshu was slightly shocked and he smiled and said, "This plan is good. Li Zhong is a good man in war, but politics is not good. He is the right prime minister and will not do anything to us."

Wang Chongshu now truly understood Lu Zhongxun and his plan. Yang Dao went on and tried his best to promote Li Zhong's succession. In this way, the position of the left prime minister was vacant. It was almost impossible for Zhao Xun to control both the positions of the left prime minister and the right prime minister in his own hands, and it was too difficult.

Lu Zhongxun shook his head slightly and sighed, "Liu Jie is not simple."

In the current Political Affairs Hall, with Zheng Renjie and He Zhongkai's two scholars, there were two vacancies, which was an opportunity for everyone.

Liu Jie obviously guessed Lu Zhongxun and his plan in advance, so he made efforts to push Yang Run out. The goal was very clear, that is, to prepare to gather all political resources, join forces with the Yang family, and promote Yang Run to enter the Political Affairs Hall as the prime minister. Yang Daolin's withdrawal has become a foregone conclusion, and it will not take too long. Retreat is to retreat, but Yang Daolin can make a choice how to retreat and what method to retreat. In this way, the initiative is in the hands of Liu Jie, which undoubtedly has a strong change and impact on the plans and layout of Lu Zhongxun and others.

Wang Chongshu said: "I have never understood that Liu Jie and his family have almost all retired from the court. Why is he back now? What else can he have to insist on?"

Lu Zhongxun said silently: "Liu Jie is a respectable person. The reason why he is still persisting is perhaps just hope that the Great Jin Dynasty can continue as long as possible, as long as it can."

After hearing Lu Zhongxun's words, Wang Chongshu's eyes flashed. There was never a shortage of ambitious people. Wang Chongshu knew about Lu Zhongxun's ambitions and letting go. He did not replace it, but restored to the political structure at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty. The aristocratic family group controlled the government. The emperor was just an empty ambition. Moreover, there were not only Lu Zhongxun, but many people. But will Zhao Xun agree to this goal?

Absolutely not, and will fight back to the death.
