The Three Kingdoms

That being the case, he stopped struggling.

The country of Great Wu belonged to Sun Quan. Sun Quan conquered the north and the south, and established a huge prestige in the court and among the people.

It was useless for him to struggle.

It is better to take a step back.

Thinking of this, Cheng Pu felt a lot better immediately.

The sun is starting to set, and the meeting continues.

The next things and issues are not very important, they are all small and scattered things, but the issues that can be discussed in the court council are all related to national policy decisions and matters related to the common people in the world.

So they talk very carefully.

The evening passed quietly, the light of the sunset was gradually fading, and the light of the night began to cover the world. In the hall, oil lamps were lit, and under the reflection of the lights, the voices of the ministers remained the same Buoyed.

There are only three topics left in this meeting.

The penultimate topic is the impeachment of Zhang Zhao, the chief assistant of the current cabinet.

Sun Quan put a memorial on the table: "Zhang Shoufu, this memorial is an impeachment letter jointly signed by Yushitai and the cabinet. It impeaches you for employing people as relatives and conniving at your second son, Zhang Xiu. look!"

Zhang Zhao has two sons.

The eldest son, Zhang Cheng, is a relatively well-known young talent. He was born as a student of Jiangdong Academy. He is very young, but with his own ability, he traveled far to the borderlands and is now the deputy governor of Liaozhou in the northeast.

But his second son, Zhang Xiu, is a playboy in Jinling City.

This is his only handle.

"Your Majesty, I teach my son Wufang, and I am convicted!" Zhang Zhao's pupils changed color slightly, but he calmed down soon, and he cupped his hands.

"If one room is dead, why do the country and the world do it!"

Zhu Zhi began to show his fangs, pointing at Zhang Zhao.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his face was expressionless, and he sneered in his heart: "If you want to bring me down, you'd better be tender!"

He is not Cheng Pu.

His foundation in the cabinet is much deeper than that of Cheng Pu, and Zhu Zhi is not capable enough to replace it.

"Today is really lively. First, the chief of the military plane was impeached, and then it was the turn of the chief minister of the cabinet. Very good, someone can propose impeachment, which is also a good thing for the court. As an official, one must be supervised all the time. Prepare to be impeached!"

Sun Quan smiled: "I am a very fair person. Since someone proposed impeachment, I can't ignore it. The old rules, voting, seven votes in favor, the impeachment motion was established, and began to enter the investigation stage, nine votes in favor, immediately strike!"

"I agree!"

"I object!"

"I object!"

"I agree!"

"I object!"

"..."

A group of ministers voted quickly, but Zhu Zhi couldn't help but feel disappointed in the final result of the vote.

Twelve votes.

Four votes were in favor and eight votes were against.

Less than seven votes in favor, that is to say, even the innate conditions for the establishment of the impeachment motion are insufficient.

Those who are in favor are Lu Bu, Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce, and the others are all negative votes, opposing the impeachment motion. That is to say, the cabinet basically does not support him in this regard.

There was no need to cast Sun Quan's vote at all.

Zhang Zhao continued to be re-elected as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Zhu Zhi's face was gloomy, and he was a little puzzled. He looked at Lu Bu with his eyes, but Lu Bu spread his hands helplessly, expressing that he had already voted for you, but you didn't have enough ability to reverse the situation. Assault on the top, how is it possible.

Zhang Zhao did not feel elated after the victory, but took a deep look at Sun Quan who was smiling brightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Your Majesty has such a powerful method!"

He was only confident that he could keep five votes, between the establishment of the impeachment bill and the temporary retention of the position of the chief assistant.

However, Lu Su, Li Ru and others rebelled against the water, instead allowing him to lay the fruits of the battle all at once.

This is not because of his efforts, but because of Sun Quan.

Sun Quan exhausted all his strength, even went into battle shirtless himself, and wanted to dismiss Cheng Pu, the leader of the military aircraft at any cost, but in the end he wanted to keep himself, which surprised him a little.

"Is this the result you want?"

Zhang Zhao's heart sank slightly.

Turn over your hands to make clouds, and cover your hands to make rain!

Sun Quan did not use absolute domineering and overbearing dictatorship, but used soft methods to play with the entire imperial court and council to the applause.

The sophistication of the means made them terrified.

In fact, Zhang Zhao guessed correctly. This result is the result Sun Quan wants now. He asked Cheng Pu to step down because he was about to do his best to conquer the Roman Empire. He didn't want anyone to hold him back. It can make the court more stable.

He is warlike in order to achieve his ideals, but he is not militaristic.

The basis of war is always economics.

To fight a war, the Central Plains must have a good economic foundation.

So when he insisted on going to war with the Roman Empire, there must be someone to stabilize the rear for him.

This person can only be Zhang Zhao.

Only Zhang Zhao can do it in the entire imperial court, Zhu Zhi can’t, Kuai Liang can’t, Gu Yong can’t, and Lu Su can’t do it either. They are far behind Zhang Zhao in terms of ability and prestige. If you don’t rush to fight this battle , he would rather let Zhu Zhi go.

But now he has to let Zhang Zhao continue to sit in the position of chief assistant of the cabinet.

In today's meeting, some people are happy and some are worried.

Up to the current position, several factions of the imperial court have already made moves, and the result is a tie.

Cheng Pu lost, but Zhang Zhao stayed on.

The Jiangdong Veteran faction still controls the power of the court, and the vassal faction headed by Lu Bu has gradually begun to control the power. The power is changing between the new generation and the old generation.
