The emperor summoned the court ministers in the West Hall, and Qin Liang turned around and found out.
Lieutenant Colonel Yan Ying was Qin Liang's subordinate. He saw the situation clearly and immediately sent a secret report to the General's Mansion. The three ministers who were summoned overlapped with those who participated in the secret discussion last winter. But for a while, no one knew that they
What did I say today?
The idea of deposing this emperor appeared in Qin Liang's mind again!
Qin Liang had long wanted to depose the emperor and establish a new emperor. Especially after the Dongtang massacre, he and the emperor almost fell out! Pretending that the emperor was not involved was like pretending to be blind, so he could barely survive
superficial relationship.
It was only because Wang Ling was in power at the time that deposing the emperor was not a trivial matter and the responsibility had to be shouldered by Wang Ling. Therefore, the Wang family was not very willing and the matter was delayed.
But it was precisely because the Wang family was in power that the situation was better maintained. After all, Wang Ling had only represented the entire auxiliary government system before, and he and the emperor had not yet broken up.
Now that Qin Liang has become the general, he has fully come to the forefront. The balance between him and the emperor is already difficult to maintain for a long time!
Not long after returning to the General's Mansion, Jia Chong arrived first, which was a bit surprising. So Yang Hu took Jia Chong into the side hall, and the three of them
We greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Jia Chong also knew what happened after today's court meeting. I don't know where he got it from. He didn't go to the court to congratulate him. He probably heard it from the Wang family. Jia Chong suddenly leaned closer and suggested in a deep voice: "General
Why not find a reason and send Zheng Xiaotong..."
After saying this, he made a chopping gesture with his palm.
Yang Hu's eyes widened immediately, and he frowned and glanced at Jia Chong.
Jia Chong also looked sideways at Yang Hu: "If you don't kill Zheng Xiaotong, who will you kill?"
There must be a reason why Jia Chong came up with such an idea.
Guang Luxun and Zheng Chong are one of the nine ministers. Killing the minister directly will obviously attract the attention of the government and the public. The key is that Zheng Chong participated in the secret discussion last time and said that Qin Liang had no fault. Wouldn't it be unjust to kill him?
Xia Houxuan was not so unjustly accused, but Xia Houxuan had a higher status and reputation, and was a relative of Yang Hu. Jia Chong probably couldn't advise him. In Qin Liang's view, Xia Houxuan had a good friend Guan Qiu Jian who died, and another good friend.
Zhuge Dan still had difficulty handling the relationship. After all, Zhuge Dan was the father-in-law of Qin Liang's father-in-law.
Only Zheng Xiaotong has little involvement with the three families, he just comes from a famous family.
However, none of this is what Qin Liang wants. What he really wants to do is to directly engage Emperor Yuan!
At this time, Yang Hu said: "The previous dynasty had to deal with the gentry's friendship and cliques, and they flaunted each other, which caused the disaster of the party's imprisonment. Now Zheng Xiaotong has no wings. If he is killed casually because of this, it may not be good for the general public."
Jia Chong turned around and said, "Is there any friendship between Chang Shi and Zheng Xiaotong?"
Yang Hu said: "We didn't have much contact before."
Qin Liang said: "I understand, let's discuss it later."
Jia Chongxing bowed his head and said, "Please excuse me first."
Qin Liang returned the gift and said to Yang Hu, "Please go and see Gonglu off."
Yang Hu said: "Here."
The two of them walked to the door. Jia Chong turned to look at Qin Liang again and met Qin Liang's eyes. Jia Chong bowed again and disappeared outside the door.
Jia Chong first moved from Sima Shi to Wang Ling's house, and now he seems to have the intention to actively get closer to Qin Liang. However, because the two parties have not yet established enough trust and have not had many contacts, Jia Chong dare not directly talk about abolishing Li.
The biggest function of killing those who participated in the secret discussion should be to intimidate and warn the courtiers. But if the emperor is not touched, it will ultimately treat the symptoms but not the root cause!
And intimidating ministers is not necessarily useful, it is worth noting. When you meet some stubborn scholars, the more you intimidate him, the more energetic he may be! If someone goes around clamoring for the emperor to take charge of the government, Qin Liang will definitely have a headache, at least not It’s impossible to maintain a good-looking eating appearance.
Qin Liang got up from the banquet and walked back and forth in the side hall alone.
In fact, his personal likes, dislikes and feelings about the emperor are not important; and Cao Fang is not very reliable in his work. From the perspective of ability, the threat does not seem to be too great. The key is that the balance between the emperor and his ministers has become worse because of the rift. It is very fragile and reminds people of various hidden dangers.
Not to mention the Dongtang Yi murder case, it was what Cao Fang did in Luoyang last winter. More than one or two people knew how to conspire to recall Qin Liang and kill him. It is not easy for Qin Liang to act in such a relationship between monarch and minister. Really.

He first cursed secretly in his heart, "Your Majesty." Then he weighed the pros and cons, and still tended to maintain it for the time being. First, stabilize the internal situation, and then try to create an opportunity. !
Without thinking about it, Grand Secretary Nong Huan Fan, Zhongshu Ling Chen An, and several officials from Shangshu Province had arrived one after another. Qin Liang had to calm down and entertain the ministers who came to visit.
In the afternoon, Yang Wei, Xiong Shou and other Chinese generals came to the house, and Qin Liang met with the generals again in the side hall.
First, we talked about specific military affairs. The generals described various situations to Qin Liang orally, and Qin Liang made decisions verbally on the spot. Some people also made suggestions for discussion. This method of face-to-face verbal communication is also the habit of various government offices.
However, if you have a secretary nearby, you will briefly record what you said as a memo. Now that we have Deheng paper that can be stored for a long time and is lightweight, various documents will not pile up like mountains.
Qin Liang also asked people to bring the wine from the cellar, and everyone drank and talked about things.
After the business talk was almost done, everyone was in a state of drunkenness, and then they started chatting. The military generals were joking among themselves, and the topic was probably about war and beautiful women, and there was a commotion in the side hall.
So that when Qin Liang returned to the inner house in the evening, he was already drunk. Everyone drank in the front hall just to adjust the atmosphere, mainly because Qin Liang's drinking capacity was indeed not good.
Wang Lingjun had already asked people to prepare food. Seeing Qin Liang's appearance, he thought he had already had dinner. After a few explanations, he went to the attic hall to sit down.
At this time, Wang Lingjun also knelt down and sat down at another table. She immediately reached out to get the honey jar. Because she had to reach far away, she bent to one side. Qin Liang suddenly looked a little lost in thought.
Her kneeling posture is pleasing to the eye, because the contours of her waist are excellent; now her body is bent to the side, instantly showing a graceful S-curve, which is simply graceful and beautiful.
But your behavior is very upright and steady, and your temperament shows no trace of deliberate showboating. Her beautiful face is even slightly arrogant and stubborn, and there is an aura that is not stained by the dust. In addition, she is wearing simple linen mourning clothes, which makes her charming and dignified. They were actually one and the same on the same person. Qin Liang looked in his eyes and seemed to smell the fragrant scent of her body.
Lingjun noticed Qin Liang's distracted gaze and reminded him in a clear voice: "I have been observing the ceremony for so long, and the mourning period is almost over."
Qin Liang pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, before I knew it, my grandfather had passed away five months ago."
Lingjun sighed softly "Alas".
Qin Liang glanced at Ling Jun's beautiful lips, and the scene where she and Xuan Ji were together emerged in his mind. But the Ling Jun in front of him was dignified and beautiful, with strict etiquette, and a sad expression.
A kind of temperament that cannot be blasphemed, or even not friendly.
If he were not an acquaintance, Qin Liang's feelings would be easily confused.
Recently, she ordered you to sleep in separate rooms just to observe the funeral. She also stopped hinting about having sex, and said after a while: "You can get along with many people. You can discuss things with scholars as well as military generals.
They drank and had fun."
"Those generals are my vassals." Qin Liang looked at Mo Xie who had just come in with a plate. He suddenly remembered what Mo Xie said, I am the girl's person, the girl is out of the palace, and the concubine is also the king's person, how can I betray the king?
?
He then continued to say to Lingjun: "Cao Zhaobo and Sima Yi successively changed a group of people in the Chinese army. After King Qin, we changed many generals. Now the generals in the Chinese army are no longer those from Qiao County. Like Yang Wei????
????????????Xiong Shou, Pan Zhong and others were born in a humble background and had no local power or reputation. However, in the name of military merit, I continued to increase their food estates and allocated them excessive benefits. The generals
We can only rely on our power, otherwise everything we gain will be taken away by the nobles immediately! At least now we will be both prosperous and deprived."
When Ling Jun heard this, he also glanced at Mo Xie. There seemed to be a smile on his face, but he didn't smile. "You are quite straightforward."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "There is nothing I can't say in front of you."
Ling Jun's bright eyes flicked across Qin Liang's face, and he pursed his lips slightly.
Mo Xie went out, and Qin Liang said again: "But in the end, I still can't escape the stereotype of forming an alliance with the distinguished military figures."
Your Majesty actually said softly: "My husband's family is not as good as the Cao family and the Xiahou family, that's all."
Qin Liang couldn't help but look sideways, but Lingjun looked as if nothing had happened. He put the sweet soup in front of him, then raised his head and looked at Qin Liang with a slight smile. Probably because of his delicate face and delicate features, the smile was
It actually feels a bit pure and innocent.
Qin Liang thought for a while and became a little distracted.
He was originally a warlord, so of course he had to rely on the resources controlled by the army to compete with the powerful nobles. Otherwise, with his background, if he wanted to obtain the support of the nobles just by bribery, the price would be sky-high! Everywhere
Regardless of the restrictions, whether you can afford the price is a big question.
The Sima family was so powerful before, but in order to win over the nobles, they had to pay a high price. Can Qin Liang's bid be higher than that of the Sima family?
At this time, Qin Liang thought of two more people, clan brother Qin Lang and general Wen Qin.
In fact, Wen Qin had no foundation and was a warrior who defected to Qin Liang. However, the Wen family was Cao Cao's fellow villager in Qiao County, so he was different from those of Yang Wei and Xiong Shou.
The same problem applies to his clan brother Qin Lang, the adopted son of Wei Taizu, and already has some manor power in his hometown in Bingzhou. However, Qin Lang is still very different from those real nobles, and the source of their strength is different.
After a while, Qin Liang came to his senses, and then he picked up the chopsticks and said, "Why don't you eat, sir? It will get cold in a while."
