Anfeng's sky has changed.

The fourth old man walked on the narrow road, and the wind whizzed past. From autumn to winter, even wearing a jacket cannot withstand the invasion of the cold wind.

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed yet.

The people took advantage of the fact that it was not too cold now, so they all went up the mountain to gather firewood.

Old Sihe sighed, and white mist had appeared.

He is now able to discuss politics in the dynasty. Although he is in the last position and has no right to speak, it means that he is close to the emperor.

Liu Liu is not stupid. He knows that Hong Xiu is favored now. Some things he said to Han Lin'er might be useless, but as soon as the pillow breeze blew, he couldn't tell.

Therefore, he step by step promoted the Fourth Elderly into his own cronies. He gave the Fourth Elder a huge benefit, and there is no need to worry about the Fourth Elderly betraying him.

If the fourth child betrays him, when he is over, the fourth child will be over.

The fourth child was not so stupid, and he couldn't figure out the truth, so he didn't keep his hand when promoting the fourth child.

Liu Futong holds the military power tightly, Liu Liu must find a way to hold the prestige in the court, otherwise he will not be able to fight against Liu Futong.

Han Lin'er was suffering from Liu Liu's quarrel recently.

"Who are you going to seal again?" Han Lin'er said angrily, "I will give you the jade seal, and you will seal it!"

Liu Liu knelt down with a "puff", his face was pale, and he didn't dare to go straight. He walked forward on his knees and said to Han Lin'er: "The emperor, now the Taishi holds the military power. If even the court is all his people, then this Is the world still the emperor's world?"

Han Lin'er sneered: "I see, you just want to get rid of his people and use your own people on top. Let me ask you, how much of the people in the hall are toward me?"

Liu Liu quickly said: "The emperor is the true emperor of the dragon! All the adults in the court are naturally facing the emperor, only because of the prestige of the Taishi..."

He didn't speak, and Han Lin'er threw the jade paperweight on the side.

Liu Liu dare not speak anymore.

Han Lin'er: "Do you all think I can't understand?"

"Liu Liu, do your job well, don't think about things you shouldn't think, if I know..."

Liu Liu knocked his head fiercely before he was blasted out of the study by Han Liner.

Liu Liu walked in the palace in disorderly clothes. The servants in the palace didn't dare to look at him. They all bowed their heads and buried their heads. Everyone knows that Master Liu is quite a favorite now, and even the Taishi must avoid his edge. , If you offend such a high official, you don't know how to die.

Liu Liu gritted his teeth, he knocked his head torn, and blood flowed down his forehead.

He thought that Liu Futong would kill him, and he was always prepared to deal with it. The Anzi he had placed next to Liu Futong also reported that Liu Futong would act in the upper court, but he waited again and again without waiting for the opponent to start.

Not only that, Liu Futong hadn't played against him, so he retreated without a fight.

Liu Liu is like a well-prepared warrior. When he was about to fight the enemy to death, the enemy suddenly stopped fighting and was going home to eat. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than losing.

I don't know when An Feng had rumors.

The streets are everywhere.

"I heard that Master Liu is presiding over the court meeting now!"

"Which Master Liu? Is it Taishi?"

"Which is Taishi, it is Liu Yuan's business."

"he?"

"What is he?"

"The Taishi was also the person who assisted the first emperor at the time, and he did his best to support the new emperor. How can he be compared with the Taishi?"

"Exactly! Although the Taishi is domineering, but the achievements of the Taishi are also there, how can Liu Yuanshi compare with the Taishi?"

"I heard that Liu Yuan was domineering, and no one dared to say that the deer was a horse before the court. Although the Taishi was more domineering, he never made any mistakes in the big right and wrong."

"Hey, the emperor is blinded!"

"The emperor was blinded by the evil villain!"

There were more and more memorials to impeach Liu Liu, piled up like a mountain, Liu Liu's face was gloomy, and he asked the servants to burn all these memorials.

"It's a good move to retreat!" Liu Liu sat in his yard and finally couldn't help but said to Old Fourth, "Where is he retreating? He is pushing me out!"

"He has become a good official who is loyal and patriotic?"

Liu Liu: "Slipping the world!"

People used to dislike Liu Futong and felt that the emperor was pitiful.

Now that Liu Liu is introduced, people feel that Liu Futong is actually quite good compared to Liu Liu.

At least Liu Futong's achievements are great!

Liu Liu was beaten into a traitorous official, so the emperor's decree was also a decree issued after being confused by the traitorous official. Once Liu Liu lost power, Liu Futong could easily rejoin the forces and change Liu Liugai's back.

And he succeeded this time, and his reputation will be even better in the future.

At that time, even if Han Lin'er still wanted to fight him, he would no longer have that ability.

Liu Liu knew that he had stepped into the trap, but he had already reached this point and he could not go back anyway.

He said to the fourth Anniversary: ​​"From tomorrow, I will say I am seriously ill."

The fourth Anniversary asked thoughtfully: "How long is the sickness? It is not good if it grows longer or shorter."

Liu Liu: "I was ill for half a month, the emperor came up to invite me, and I will go back again."

Isn't Liu Futong's idea to get him up first?After holding it up, the people below would naturally want to pull him down, but now that he has come down by himself, what can Liu Futong do next?

"Tell you sister, let her remember to start with me before the emperor. If the emperor doesn't come to pick me up after half a month, I'm really shameless to see people!" Liu Liu said sincerely looking at the elderly.

The fourth old man naturally agreed.

After all, Liu Liu and Liu Fu are not big enough to fight each other, and it is really useless for their plan to fight and make trouble.

Liu Liu, a member of the Pingzhang hospital, was seriously ill and could not serve the emperor. The news suddenly flew to Anfeng.

Rumors say that because some people spread his rumors, he fell ill in anger.

Then he gave a memorial to resign.

The main idea is to say: "Although I know that you love me very much, the emperor, but I have to let you down. It is because my virtue and talent are not worthy to be maliciously slandered. It is nothing to slander me. As for the slanderous emperor, I am an official appointed by the emperor, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog! In order not to shame the emperor, I voluntarily resigned, but although I resigned, I am still the emperor.

I don't know why the content of this memorial has been circulated, all readers know it.

Liu Liu's memorial is very well written, sincere, and very easy to empathize. The image of a poor persecuted loyal minister is vividly on paper.

Yes, you Liu Futong has been in charge of the government for so long, and you still hold the military power in your hand. How could you be bullied by a civil servant?

The imperial court may not care about the ideas of farmers or businessmen, but it will certainly care about the ideas of scholars.

If the scholar's voice is loud, courtiers will be affected.

The "people's mind" that officials must strive for refers to the minds of scholars.

Lin Yuan also got this memorial. After reading it carefully, he sighed to Yang Shaowei: "This man who catches a knife is very literary, and he is very hard to see."

Yang Shaowei took a look, and was also a little surprised. It seems that Anfeng also has amazing talents.

This kind of memorial is just right to sell badly. One more point is tyrannical, and one less is weak.

The character of the literati is fully interpreted by this memorial.

"He wanted to..." Yang Shaowei swallowed. He didn't quite believe that someone would do such a thing. "I want civil, ministers and generals to disagree and split the government."

Civil servants and generals seem to be inherently hostile, but they are not.

This is not a confrontation between two powers, but a mutual control of two powers.

Pay attention to balance.

In peacetime, whoever overpowers whoever can have a stronger voice, but this is not a peacetime, playing this hand, the risk is also high, but as long as the risk can be overcome, the benefits are huge.

Yang Shaowei said with some excitement: "For them, it is a bad thing, but for us, it is a great thing! They are in a mess inside, and it will be much easier for us to fight over."

Lin Yuan thought of the letter from them.

It took several years and now finally saw the results, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What we have to do now is to wait." Lin Yuan said softly, dropping a black on the chessboard, "When the time is right, we can take Anfeng at the least cost."

Yang Shaowei couldn't help his heart surge when he thought that after taking Anfeng, there was no government that could rival the Nan Bodhisattva!

How many people in this world are as ambitious as him, and how many people have the same opportunities as him?

Adore Song Shizhao as a teacher and play against Nan Bodhisattva. The world is on their chessboard.

Yang Shaowei really wanted to go out and run a lap.

After half a month, Liu Liu was invited back to the court by the emperor himself. The emperor came to the door himself. After two invitations, Liu Liu responded.

His face was saved, and his life was saved.

The wind direction on the court also changed.

Because Liu Liu at this time represents not just a power unit, but a group. He represents a scholar-a clear-cut figure who is not afraid of power.

If someone opposes him at this time, doesn't it mean to stand on the opposite side of the scholar?

The difference between civil servants and military attaches is becoming more and more obvious.

With more and more contradictions, the friction in the court will naturally increase.

Han Lin'er's head is big.

Wenchen believed that the generals can lead the army to fight, but after the class and division return to the court, they should hand in the talisman, and a general cannot command the same army for more than three years.

Han Lin'er thinks this request is right, no problem.

After all, there will be some tolerance in foreign military orders, and if something happens, it will be too late.

It cannot be understood for more than three years. After all, after three years, this army is surnamed Han or another surname, but it is uncertain.

But the military attache also has something to say.

Soldiers need to rehearse. The formations are practiced again and again. They are replaced by generals in three years. Each general has a different method of leading his troops. How to ensure that soldiers can adapt to changing generals every three years?

Besides, the soldier's talisman is returned and handed in. If there is an accident, even if the general is unable to command in front of the soldier, who will bear the risk?

Han Lin'er felt that what the military attache said also made sense.

The result is that every day the court began to noisy, and there was no quarrel.

Liu Futong has completely controlled the court, and Liu Futong will naturally not relax his control over military power.

Wrestling on both sides, Anfeng was in a miserable atmosphere, and the officials below wanted to take this opportunity to climb up and form cliques in the officialdom.

Liu Futong and Liu Liu competed with each other, and no one wanted to bow their heads first.

Whoever lowers his head first will not be able to raise this head from now on.

The fourth old man was responsible for fanning the flames. He had to make Liu Liu stand firm. Even if Liu Futong gave him a ladder, Liu Liu would never go down the slope.

He moved a lot of hands and feet, and Liu Futong didn't show his favor. After all, it would be no good to keep going like this, but he was blocked by the fourth person.

Liu Liu saw that Liu Futong did not show his favor, so he sent someone to show Liu Futong's good.

Send someone to show hello, not only did you not accept it, but you didn't even get an answer?Is this too much?

The two sides just stood firm to each other.

Anfeng was in chaos, acting and inferior, the officialdom was dirty, and the people were not doing much better.

As soon as the officialdom was in chaos, the officials showed up.

The people's life is even more sad, and the small officials pay from the people, and then go to the top.

The little official also has a heart that wants to climb up, which is normal.

But the people don’t understand. They just find that life is more difficult. The money they used to earn is enough to spend, but now the money they earn has to go to the officials. There are more people on the streets, and it’s hard to buy food after the winter. , The warmth is not enough, almost no one can go out to work in winter.

Those who wear cotton-padded clothes are all elders, and it is very important for ordinary people to have cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

Most of the family stay in the house in winter, and whoever wants to go out wears the only cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

Livelihood is more difficult.

Wealthy families must tighten their belts, and poor families are even more poor.

An's wife listened to the complaints of the neighbor's wife.

They did not move out of the original place. At first, they could not find a suitable house. Later, they were worried that they would be exposed if they moved away. They just lived in the original place. Besides, the fourth child was just a small house. Although officials can go to court, they have no real power. They live too well and are too conspicuous, and they can easily become targets.

The female relatives complained to his wife:

"Although the salary for one month was not much, but it was enough for the family to chew. Daily firewood, rice, oil, and salt cost not a few dollars, but now? I said back to Shangfeng, but now I have reduced food and clothing. What a good one."

"My family is also, and he still smells of alcohol when he comes back every day. If he is doing business, what is he doing business? He still pays for his own money when he goes out to eat every day. There is really no benefit except for a problem with drinking."

An's wife also said with them: "The same is true of my family. You are okay. He has not returned home for many days and nights. I don't know what he is doing outside. Now it seems to be like this. Please bear with me. Time will be fine."

The female relatives were originally resentful, but now all the family members of the small officials present here, only the wife and husband are not the small officials, but the female relatives all regard the wife as a person, and the wife is in their hearts, as the husband. The woman who couldn't talk in front of her thought her husband as the heaven.

She will not tell her husband.

What's more, their husbands have no conflict of interest with the fourth child.

Speaking of words, there is even more no scruples.

"This forbearance, forbearance, when is the head?" the woman whispered, "It's okay for our family to say, I have many men and brothers, and they all have strength, but I see my maiden sisters... now there is almost no rice in the house. Up."

"What's the way to do it, it's just our little bad luck."

An's wife embroidered the flowers without raising her head and said, "That's no way, we can only talk in private."

The female relatives sitting next to her winked at the others, and then said softly, "Mrs. An, we also have friendship for more than two years and three years. We all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and we are all acquaintances. You know more than we do. If you know anything, don't hide it from us. Everyone will discuss it."

An wife: "I'm a womanly family, what can I know? It's not the thing on the stove inside and outside the house."

The women cried around her, whispering.

An's wife sighed: "Don't cry anymore. This matter hasn't reached the point of exhaustion, and life can go on."

"What day is this day called now?" The women whispered, "It's useless to persuade us, saying that we are giving gifts and we are giving them all. We can't just not give them, but I don't know when this is the end. Mrs. Ann, you are the most well-informed among us. Tell us what you know. We will never say it."

"Seeing that life is going to be overwhelming, and if this happens, my family will have to drink northwest wind."

All the small officials are giving gifts to the top, and the appetite of some of the officials above who love to collect money has grown, so those who do not give gifts have become aliens, and the officials who bully them are not the officials who collect money, but the small officials like them. , Just because one party gave gifts and one party didn't give gifts, they suddenly became two rival camps.

Slowly, those who didn't give gifts were afraid of being bullied, so they started to give gifts.

Is there any point in these gifts? Did you get any benefits?

I am afraid that only the first group of people will benefit, but the atmosphere is already like this.

The salaries of the small officials are so small, where do they get so much money?It's not just people searching.

With such searches continued, Anfeng's previously not so stable regime became even more precarious.

An's wife could only whisper: "Then you can't tell the story."

All the female relatives barely slapped their chests to make sure, each of them said: "If anyone tells you, anyone will be struck by lightning!"

An’s wife lowered her voice mysteriously: “My family told me that gift-giving is really good, isn’t it right now? The adults above will see who is more sincere to them. Promote cronies."

"Look at my house, all the valuables are sold." An wife sighed. "It's because my family is too weak. My family is with Liu Yuanshi. Although he is a small official, he is well informed."

An's wife also said: "If you can give it, you can give it more. It's better than regretting it in the future. Don't you say it? I'll just tell you this. You can't spread it out."
