The Three Kingdoms

"Colleagues, don't be polite. The old man is here today to replace the cabinet ministers and visit the various departments of the Military Machine Pavilion. Please remember your duty!"

Zhang Zhao's visit today is not official, but it also means that the relationship between the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department is about to ease.

"Cheng Shouzun, the Military Aircraft Department has a strict bearing, I admire you!"

"Zhang Shoufu, please come in!"

The two were polite, and then walked hand in hand at the front, step by step into the fortified military pavilion.

After Zhang Zhao observed each department, he was quite satisfied with the system of the Military Aircraft Department.

In a solemn hall, Cheng Puping withdrew everyone, and sat alone opposite Zhang Zhao, and a very young military staff officer was serving tea beside him.

"Zhang Shoufu didn't come here today just to visit my dilapidated military aircraft department, right?" Cheng Pu actually understood why Zhang Zhao came here, but he had to hold his breath, because it was the cabinet and Zhang who couldn't hold back now. Zhao.

The second assistant of the cabinet, Kuai Liang, will return to his hometown soon. Once Kuai Liang withdraws from the power system of the court, the cabinet will lack a seat in the court council.

If the Military Aircraft Department breaks in at this time, the cabinet will face a weak position in the court council.

The position of the thirteen seats in the Imperial Council is the key to determining the main policy of the imperial court.

Kuai Liang left the court council, and his second assistant, the Military Aircraft Department, was speechless, and was filled by someone from the cabinet, but the position of court councilors was not decided by the cabinet, and the cabinet could not be at a disadvantage at this time.

"Since Cheng Shouzun already understands what I want, why bother to ask here knowingly!"

Zhang Zhao took a sip of his tea lightly, and he also acted calmly. Although he said that this time he came to ask for help, everyone was just half-hearted. The cabinet has difficulties, but Cheng Pu is also facing Cheng Pu's danger now. , He took a step back, not to let Cheng Pu go further.

"In December last year, the king of Lu opened his ancestral hall in the newly established city of King Lu, and passed on the position of king to his son Lu Zhong, who was above the general position, and regained control of the second war zone. It is rumored that he I am ready to return to Jinling, and I will show up in Jinling City within ten days!"

Zhang Zhao added lightly, with an indifferent smile on his lips.

Everyone knows what Lu Bu did when he came back this time.

His title has reached its peak. As the first king of the Great Wu Dynasty, he was also conferred the title of prince. After several years of establishment, the state of Lu has initially stabilized. He gave it to his son, Lu Zhong, and returned to Jinling City as a soldier of the Wu Dynasty.

At this time, he naturally came back to fight for the last glory of his life.

The head of the Military Aircraft Department.

It was a position he had always dreamed of.

It stands to reason that he is already the king of Lu, a prince of one side. The current state of Lu occupies [-]% of the territory of Armenia in the past, with a population of more than one million. It stands to reason that he can sit on one side independently, and there is no need to continue to assist the Great Wu court.

But people are always greedy.

What he can't get is what he wants most.

He fought countless battles for the Great Wu court, and missed the position of the first military aircraft twice, which is nothing more than his unwillingness.

For the first time, the imperial court reformed, Cheng Pu, the leader of the military, was obsessed with the old system and opposed the new policy. In the end, Pan Feng came to power and took the position of leader of the army.

The second time, Pan Feng suffered a big defeat in Runan and was demoted to stabilize the hearts of the people. He was originally the most hopeful to be the head of the military aircraft, but in the end the court let Cheng Pu out of the mountain, which led to another missed opportunity.

This time he made a comeback, carrying the strength of the second war zone, relying on his already stable advantage in the imperial court council, it was only natural that he wanted to seize the position of the head of the military aircraft.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu's pupils dimmed, and although his expression didn't change, his fists could not help clenching, and he snorted coldly: "So what if Lu Fengxian comes back, I'm already firmly on Mount Tai, and he alone can't shake me. "

"The power of Lu Fengxian alone cannot shake you, but Lu Fengxian plus Zhao Zilong and Zhou Gongjin and Sun Bofu's support, you will be defeated in the court council!"

Zhang Zhao said indifferently: "Last October, the fourth war zone was established in the western battlefield, and Zhao Zilong was promoted to the commander in chief of the war zone. He had already returned to the capital in March, but now he has not returned to the west for a long time. Why? Don't you know it in your mind?"

It has been a while since Zhao Yun came back to the capital, but Zhao Guogong's mansion has always kept a low profile, so many people didn't feel anything.

"Zhao Zilong?"

Cheng Pu was taken aback for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a trace of haze in his eyes: "Why him?"

For a long time, he felt that Zhao Yun should be detached from the battle between him and Pan Fenglu Bu.

In the struggle for power in the military, age is sometimes very important.

He, Cheng Pu, Pan Feng from the first war zone, and Lu Bu from the second war zone are all quite old now, and even if they hold the power of the chief, they won't be able to hold it for long.

However, both Zhao Guogong and Jiang Guogong belong to the young and strong generation.

They are the second generation.

Now that the first generation of power has not completely receded, no matter how hard it is for Sun Ce, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, etc., Sun Quan will not let them take the position, and they will not be able to sit in his position.

He couldn't understand why Zhao Yun suddenly helped Lu Bu.

"Like-minded people can be allies!"

Zhang Zhao glanced at Cheng Pu and sighed lightly: "Cheng Shouzun, you have been walking too slowly these years. The Central Plains has stopped fighting for several consecutive years. Those who want to build military exploits in the army have no control over you." They are all disappointed, Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong are both staunch main factions, and if they want to send troops to Rome immediately, they hit it off right away!"

"Bastard!"

Cheng Pu protested, "Stop fighting, slow down the war, accumulate strength, and expand troops. This is not a decision made by the head of the government alone, but a decision made by the court council. What does it have to do with the head of the head!"

"You are the head of the military aircraft, and it has nothing to do with you, who has something to do with it, Your Majesty?" Zhang Zhao said coldly.

Cheng Pu has been the head of the military aircraft for so many years, and now he is really a little naive. If it weren't for his seniority and stability, he might have been beaten to the end by Sun Quan.

"They're fighting against dissidents. It's factionalism. Damn it!" Cheng Pu's face became a little gloomy.

"No matter what, they have already started a war. If you want to continue to sit firmly on the top position, you must fight!" Zhang Zhao said: "I don't want you to go down. The cabinet can be your friend, not your enemy!"

"What's the best plan for that chief assistant?" Cheng Pu calmed down and asked.

"East Palace!"

Zhang Zhao was silent for a while, and spit out two words.

This is an opportunity.

The faction of their Jiangdong veterans is about to be forced to leave the imperial court.

Facing the pressure of Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong, Lu Su and others, he probably won't be able to hold the position of chief assistant for a long time. Before that, he has to do something.

When the world is at peace that day, when he sits in this position for a long time.

He couldn't let go of some rights.

"East Palace?" Cheng Pu's face changed when he heard the words, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, stared at him with wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Zibu, you are playing with fire. Don't meddle in the East Palace dispute, if we do, His Majesty will let us go!"

Since the memorial of "Establishing the Prince" in the clan's mansion, in the past half a month, there has been an undercurrent in the court, but on the bright side, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the three carriages of Yushitai have not responded. .
