Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 622 A new faction!

Empress Xiansu sneered and said: "Nowadays the officials only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and leave everything to Wu Zhi. Even if we do it, the officials will not do anything. Besides, we are fighting against Wu Zhi, Your Majesty may not be unhappy! "

"Wu Zhi's power is too great, shouldn't he be suppressed?"

Hearing that there was a chance to be prime minister, Zheng Shen's face changed:

"If the queen wants to win over the courtiers, it is not impossible to raise the status of our Zheng family.

But when it comes to wooing, there are Shangshu Wang Juan of the Ministry of Industry, Feng Gong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Li Tian, ​​Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.These are the objects we should win over.

As for Li Gefei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, these two are Wu Zhi's people, so let's not consider it for the time being.

We can win over other people first.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi is a self-proclaimed high-minded person, and he has no intention of wooing them. If we can unite so many ministers in the court, we can dominate the court, and the empress is behind the scenes, and I can handle everything.This matter must first be discussed with Zheng Juzhong. "

Empress Xiansu's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Well, you can do it, if Zheng Juzhong agrees, we still have an advantage."

"The Prime Minister Zheng Juzhong was promoted by me. If he disagrees, I will naturally have a way to get him down, but you can't say it so directly. You should discuss this matter carefully!"

Zheng Shen nodded.

Empress Xiansu went on to say: "Wu Xiang didn't win over anyone. I am a queen. He is strong and capable. He is only a courtier of the Song Dynasty, so I have certain advantages. If I win over more If people join our camp, Wu Xiang's situation in the court will be weakened!"

"And the official indulges in women every day, and his body will collapse after a long time. We have to be careful in advance!"

"What the queen said is, I'll go right away!"

Zheng Shen rolled his eyes. What his daughter said was not unreasonable. Now that the military minister is so powerful and powerful in the court, although it has brought great benefits to Song Dynasty.

Compared with these, what they prefer to see is that the power is on their side.

As for whether the Song Dynasty is good or not, there are no foreign enemies anyway, and it doesn't matter whether it needs Wuzhi or not for economic development.

Zheng Shen left after taking the order.

He found Zheng Juzhong and Zheng Gong first, because these two people belonged to the queen, it was best to persuade them.

Convince these two people first, and then win over other people such as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and others, then it will be easy to handle.

As far as Zheng Shen knew, Wu Zhi had never had the idea of ​​forming cliques since he became an official.

This is a good opportunity for them, and also a flaw for Wu Zhi.

Of course, Wu Zhi also has his own group of people, such as Li Shu, Yue Fei, and a group of people from Liangshan before him, but Wu Zhi, the few powerful ministers in the court, did not win over him.

Liangshan's group was at most Wu Zhi's followers, generals leading soldiers, useless.

There are 10,000+ soldiers in the Forbidden Army led by Wu Zhi, but many soldiers in the Forbidden Army are in the hands of Tong Guan and other generals.

In addition to the Forbidden Army, the Song Dynasty also had Xiang Army.

The Xiang army currently has hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom are in charge of it.

In other words, although Wu Zhi is powerful and has the right to speak, it is because of the trust of the officials, and his own power is not so absolute.

This is also the reason why Zheng Shen thinks he can try.

this day.

Zheng Shen found Zheng Juzhong and Zheng Gong, and the three discussed together.

Zheng Juzhong and Zheng Gong thought what Zheng Shen was going to say. They drank together and talked and laughed more relaxedly. When Zheng Shen proposed to fight Wu Zhi, their faces changed again and again.

But it's not that repulsive. They belong to the Queen's faction, which is understandable.

Wu Zhi is indeed strong in court.

The queen couldn't bear it, they knew it in their hearts.

Zheng Juzhong and Zheng Gong still hesitated if they really wanted to stand on the opposite side with Wu Zhi.

Zheng Shen directly took out the queen to suppress others, but they had no choice.

Zheng Shen generally meant that they were promoted by the queen, and they should be loyal to the queen, which is understandable.

And the queen wants to deal with Wu Zhi, or to defend herself, and form her own power, which is no problem. If they don't agree, the queen will support other people, and their positions may not be guaranteed.

So for their own benefit, they still agreed.

Now I don't want to do anything, just form my own party members.

They have no reason to refuse.

Not to mention Zheng Gong, he is a member of the queen's family, and he was also promoted by the queen, so it is certain that he is on the queen's side.

They have reached a consensus.

Then Zheng Juzhong, Zheng Shen, and Zheng Gong found Feng Gong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Tian, ​​Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Pan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

He hasn't looked for the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for the time being, but Wang Wei is from Wu Zhi, so they still avoid it a bit.

It took a lot of time to win over ministers like Wang Ping, Feng Gong, and Li Tian. It took them a month, giving gifts, promising benefits, and intimidating.

In short, take Feng Gong and Li Tian down.

By the way, there is also Liu Li, Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

They are not Wu Zhi's people. Before Wu Zhi's reform, many of these people stood up to oppose it.

In addition, Zheng Juzhong, the right minister, Zheng Shen, the official censor, and Zheng Gong, the envoy of the Privy Council, are not ordinary people, and they hold great power. These people form a rear force, not weaker than Wu Zhi.even stronger.

This is why they are willing to form an alliance.

What's more, Zheng Shen's words were implicated, if they disagreed, the consequences would be very serious.

There is one more important point.

That is Cai Jing!
They were originally from Cai Jing.

Itself is the opposite of Wu Zhi.

Cai Jing is gone, they have no leader, and now the queen has jumped out, even more powerful than the prime minister, why don't they.

Their fertile land was lost because of Wu Zhi's new law, and they felt a little resentful in their hearts.

So they huddled together.

After these people formed a camp, a new party appeared in the court, and that was the queen.

Of course, this matter must be kept secret, and the officials should not be allowed to know. They formed an alliance in private.

Before Wang Juan hesitated for a while, he thought that Wu Zhi was indeed very capable, but it was very true that he had harmed their interests. Seeing that everyone was unified, if he disagreed with it, he would not know how to praise him. He would definitely be alone and helpless in the future .

Wu Zhi doesn't woo people, he doesn't form a group, he may be kicked out.

So Wang Juan also agreed.

That is to say, of the six courts, the queen has already occupied four.

This is very scary.

Although Wu Zhi and Song Huizong discussed many things in the morning meeting, it was because the people in the court did not fully resist.

If the situation is consolidated, all the courtiers will unite to refute any suggestion put forward by Wu Zhi, or even the idea put forward by His Majesty. This invisible pressure will make it difficult for the officials to do so.

One or two times can be forced to follow the official's wishes. The more times, the civil and military officials can get together and give Song Huizong the name of a faint king.

At that time, due to pressure, Song Huizong could not listen to Wu Zhi in everything, and Wu Zhi's influence would naturally decrease.

It is a terrible thing to hold a group in court.
