The Three Kingdoms

……

Soon the second imperial decree was issued.

Zhou Yu succeeded Sun Ce as Minister of War.

This decree has been incomprehensible to many people.

Zhou Yu is the acting commander-in-chief of the second war zone, and he can become a full-time official within half a step. His position may not be comparable to that of the Minister of the Ministry of War, one of the eight departments of the imperial court, but in terms of real power, he is much more solid than the Minister of the Ministry of War.

After all, the commander-in-chief of a war zone commands hundreds of thousands of troops.

I don't know if this imperial decree was a promotion, or if it was a promotion.

But the decree has been issued, and no one can defy it.

It is inevitable that Zhou Yu will take office.

……

Whether it is Xun Yu entering the cabinet, or Zhou Yu taking over the position of minister of the Ministry of War, this is just the beginning for the court. A big reshuffle of the court council, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the Yushitai is underway... …

[Text 570 Chapter Nine Great Reshuffle [-]]

"Xun Wenruo!" Zhang Zhao stood on the pavilion with his hands on his back, looking far away, looking in the direction of the Forbidden City, opened his mouth and said the name lightly, with a bitter smile slightly raised at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect it to be Xun Wenruo. No wonder His Majesty has the confidence to make a big change. Your Majesty's method is really powerful!" He muttered to himself.

Xun Yu, whose name is Wenruo, is a name that has begun to fade out of his memory.

But he never dared to despise this person in his heart.

The prime minister of Cao Wei back then, the number one counselor under Cao Cao's command, was born in a Yingchuan family, well-read poetry and books, and became famous at a young age. He was known as Zhang Liang at that time, a generation of Wang Zuozhi.

It's just that with the demise of the Cao Wei Dynasty, he also became a minister of subjugation.

After the fall of Cao Wei, Xun Yu lived in Yingchuan and spent the rest of his life teaching and educating people. He never wanted to show up to help. As a courtier of Cao Wei, he hated the Wu court in his bones.

Even if because of Cao Wei, he had no choice but to enter the court of Great Wu, he could only live in the Western Regions.

So all along, Zhang Zhao never put him in the business.

However, Sun Quan invited Xun Yu back at this time. For Zhang Zhao, it was undoubtedly a sign of losing power.

"master!"

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Kuai Liang, please see me!"

"Kuai Liang?"

Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Please come in!"

"promise!"

The servant walked out quickly, and took Kuai Liang up to the pavilion.

"Kuai Liang pays homage to Lord Shoufu!"

Kuai Liang's white hair seemed to be completely white overnight, and his spirit suffered a serious blow, at least he felt like an old teenager.

"Zirou, this is not an official pavilion, no need to be polite!"

Zhang Zhao sat down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and said with a smile, "Why do you have the time to see me today!"

The capital's mansion, which used to be full of people, is now empty.

At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly came to the door, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Liang came to the door this time to ask for something!"

Kuai Liang said softly.

The Chu faction tried their best to support Sun Ce this time, but in the end they were on the wrong team. Faced with Sun Quan's purge, the Chu faction would inevitably have to pay a heavy price.

Political games are always a bloodless war, and if you lose, you will accept your fate.

He has nothing else to ask for now, even if he sacrifices his life and bears all the responsibilities, he still wants to keep his younger brother Kuai Yue. As long as Kuai Yue is still in the court, the Chu family will still have a chance to make a comeback.

"Zirou, today is different, your majesty is not the majesty of the past, I am doomed, is there anything else I can do to help you?" Zhang Zhao asked very calmly, the entire court knew that he was about to lose power, he is now a mud bodhisattva The river cannot protect itself.

This time he was the first to bear the brunt, and it was inevitable that Sun Quan would be purged.

Worst outcome...

Based on what he knew about Sun Quan, it would not be enough to raid his family and exterminate his family. After all, he believed that Sun Quan could understand his original intentions, but it was undeniable that he had lost Sun Quan's trust in him, and it was impossible for Sun Quan to hand over the cabinet to him.

It will be a matter of time before he abdicates.

The most likely is to leave the court and return to the fief.

"Master Shoufu must not be disheartened, His Majesty is still His Majesty, he has never changed!"

Kuai Liang said softly: "Your Majesty is a person who cares about the overall situation. Even if he is dissatisfied with you, he will not be able to do anything to you in a short period of time. After all, you are the chief minister of the cabinet. After experiencing civil strife, His Majesty will definitely not let the court be in chaos again..."

"Do you know about Xun Yu?" Zhang Zhao suddenly interrupted him.

"Of course I know, that's why I came to you!" Kuai Liang said.

"tell me the story!"

Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Kuai Liang thought for a while and said softly: "Master Shoufu, it is irresistible for Xun Yu to enter the cabinet now. This is a move taken by His Majesty. In the next step, he will support Xun Yu to replace you step by step. , but in order to stabilize the world, it will take time!"

"What else do you think we can do within this time?"

Zhang Zhao took a sip of his tea and said softly.

He was also disheartened.

After all, as the first minister of the cabinet, losing the trust of the emperor means losing everything.

"Your Majesty's heart is already irreversible!" Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Zhao deeply: "But we can advance by retreating. Our generation will eventually withdraw from the imperial court. It is only a matter of time, but we You can’t hand over the power of the imperial court to the Cao Wei faction, do you think so?”

"It makes sense, keep talking!"

Zhang Zhao's face was calm and his eyes were shining.
