Just when Prince Li Shi and his close ministers felt chilled by Zhao Ziliang's methods, a boy ran in and said to Li Shi: "Your Highness, Mr.
Wang Yi, the Minister of Punishment, has just passed away."
Wang Yi has been seriously ill for a long time and has not improved for several months.
Moreover, his condition has been kept at home.
Everyone knows that he is afraid that he will die soon.
Upon hearing this, Li Shi turned to look at Wang Yi's younger brother, Jing Zhaoyin and secretary, Young Superintendent Wang Hong, and said, "Hong Hu" When Wang Hong heard the news of his brother's death, he looked a little sad.
He stood up and clasped his fists at Li Shi and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to say hello these days.
Please don't blame me."
Li Shi nodded in a reasonable manner and said: "You go and deal with your brother's funeral with peace of mind.
I will go to pay homage to your brother in two days."
"Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll take my leave now."
Wang Hong said and turned to leave.
Wang Hong's departure made Li Shi and others feel even heavier.
The two brothers Wang Hong were both Li Shi's right-hand men.
One was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other was Jing Zhaoyin and Secretary, the Young Supervisor.
They both had great powers.
He is someone who can get things done.
Now that Wang Yi has passed away and Wang Hong is also tied up in his brother's funeral, there are even fewer people Li Shi can use.
Wu Shude, the minister of Dali Temple, asked: "Your Highness, what should I do?
How should we deal with the changes in the court and the regent's series of methods now?"
Li Shi looked at Chang Gun, another member of Zhongshushe, and asked, "Chang Gun, what do you think?"
Chang Gun thought for a while, then said to Li Shi: "Your Highness, the regent is in great momentum.
If we confront him now, we will suffer a heavy blow.
Master Wu can only deal with it impartially.
No matter what happens to the eunuchs, we must first Let’s keep Mr.
Wu’s right to speak in Dali Temple.
If we lose Dali Temple, it will be even more troublesome in the future.”
Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme Court of later generations.
Although in the era of supremacy of imperial power, the power of Dali Temple was greatly restricted and restricted, no one can ignore its energy.
Hearing this, Li Shi asked about a possibility that he had been considering for the past few days.
He asked: "Can we temporarily turn enemies into friends with the eunuchs and prime ministers?"
Chang Gun was stunned and asked: "Your Highness wants to unite the prime minister faction and the eunuch faction to fight against the regent's palace."
Li Shi didn't say anything, just nodded.
He has already thought about it.
Zhao Ziliang now holds the position of regent and is in charge of the military and political affairs of the court.
His power is almost equal to that of the emperor.
Except for a few yamen among the nine ministers, all other military and political yamen agencies of the court are under his control.
Under its control, under such circumstances, if any faction in the DPRK wants to confront it, it will almost always end in complete defeat.
This is a needless thought.
And if the three factions unite, they will be able to check and balance the regent's palace to a certain extent.
At least Zhao Ziliang needs the consent of the three factions on many military and political decisions and personnel appointments.
If the three factions do not agree, the three factions will never sit still and wait for death, and they will not even hesitate to launch an attack.
It is possible for a coup to oust Zhao Ziliang from power.
Under the current circumstances, the Tang court could never withstand such great turmoil.

He believed that Zhao Ziliang was not without scruples.
If the Regent's Palace and the three factions wanted to continue playing in the playground of rights, they must first It is guaranteed that the boat of Datang cannot capsize.
If the boat capsizes, no one will have to play anymore.
Li Shi's idea was good, but he ignored the thoughts of his confidants and ministers.
Chang Gun objected on the spot: "Your Highness, this matter must not be castrated.
What kind of people are there?
Those people are all deceivers."
Evil slaves, we unite with them, One day they will bite you from the back.
Who are those people sent by the prime minister?
Although this old thief Yuan Zai has some talents, what is the difference between him and Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others?
Joining forces with such people is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Ah, please think twice, Your Highness.”
Yang Wan also stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I am also opposed to joining forces with the Prime Minister's Faction and the Eunuch Party.
Most of the people in the Prime Minister's Faction and the Eunuch Party are fagots and losers.
If we unite with such people, maybe we can unite with them."
They unknowingly sold us for glory, wealth, eunuchs and prime ministers There is nothing good about sending those people to do anything.
Even if His Highness has this wish, the Prime Minister Faction and the Eunuch Party have agreed, but how do you know whether they are sincere or fake?
His Highness, the camp in the officialdom must not be ambiguous, this is There are rules.
If you mess up the rules, everyone will be alienated."
Yang Wan's last sentence is right.
There are rules for playing politics.
You must not change your political opinions easily.
Two camps with completely different political opinions can only unite under the invasion of foreign enemies.
Even so. , they will also play tricks on each other secretly, but the Prince Regent's Palace is not an external enemy.
Even if the political opinions and ideas are different, it is just an internal conflict.
This has not yet reached the point where the three parties can unite to fight against the Prince Regent's Palace.
Except for Chang Gun, whose family background is slightly worse, Yang Wan and Cui Youfu are all descendants of aristocratic families.
They are also Jinshi and have climbed to their current position by relying on their strength.
Of course, they look down on those who are sent by the prime minister to flatter others. , The people in the prime minister's faction who are trying to flatter themselves, look down even more on those rootless and heirless people in the eunuch party.
How can they put aside their status and join forces with these people?
Cui Youfu said to Li Shi: "Your Highness, I understand your Highness's thoughts.
No matter which of the three parties is in power now, it cannot change the decadent situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Now it seems that only the regent has this ability.
First of all, the regent has great influence in the court and the military." has a high prestige; secondly, you have also seen the regent’s methods.
May I ask your highness?
People like Yuan Zai, Yuan Zai and Ju Wenzhen have such ability.
Once again, the regent has the backing of the entire Western Qin.
If the three of us unite, we can check the power of the regent and even drive him back to the Western Qin.
But in this way, Come on, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty?
What will the court do?
What will happen to the feudal towns outside?
Your Majesty will ask the regent to come back.
We want to use his talents and strength to save the Tang Dynasty.
If we confront the regent, we will not be doing it for the Tang Dynasty, but harming the Tang Dynasty.
Your Highness does not need to worry about problems with his rights and inheritance.

Now, Your Majesty is still here.
The Tang clan is still here, and many ministers loyal to the royal family and the court are still there.
As long as the palace Unless you make a big mistake, the Regent cannot and does not dare to do anything to His Highness.
The Regent is a person who wants to save face.
How could he not cherish his own feathers?
At most, he can only be a Cao Cao, but he is more affectionate than Cao Cao.
This is something the world Everyone knows that if he wanted to be emperor, the world would no longer have the surname Li.
Your Highness, think about it."
After hearing this, Yang Wan became furious and pointed at Cui Youfu and cursed: "Whose surname is Yang, which side are you from?
You actually spoke for Zhao Ziliang.
It is in vain that His Highness values and supports you so much."
"I'm telling the truth."
After Cui Youfu finished speaking, he bowed to Li Shi and said, "Your Highness, your loyalty to Your Highness can be seen in the sun and the moon.
Your Highness, please learn from it."
Li Shi looked at Cui Youfu, stood up and helped him up, sighing: "Get up, you are right, but even if I don't do anything, I'm afraid there are people who don't want me to live a stable life.
Back then, the emperor My grandfather was always careful when he was the prince, did Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong let him go?"
At this time, Chang Gun said: "Your Highness, Wei Chen feels that what Mr.
Cui said is not unreasonable.
From now on, His Highness and his ministers will move closer to the Regent's Palace and openly support the Regent's administrative measures and military deployment in the court."
Since we can't fight with the Prime Minister's faction Collaborating with the eunuchs and preserving their own strength, the only way now is to stand on the side of the regent.
The regent can't attack his own people.
If the regent's palace makes any attempt to seize the country of Datang in the future, we will wait for it.
You can take action suddenly.”
This expedient measure made Li Shi feel a little aggrieved.
After all, he is the prince and the son of the emperor.
Apart from the emperor, he is the most important person in the entire Tang Empire.
But now he is required to rely on Zhao Ziliang, which makes him a little embarrassed and unable to let go of his dignity.
But Cui Youfu and Chang Gun said This method seems to be the only way at present that can preserve one's own strength, not be used in direct confrontation with Zhao Ziliang, and allow the court to maintain its status.
Cui Youfu advised: "Your Highness, we must continue to resist the rebellion.
It has not been a month, and the regent has already attacked the eunuchs and the prime ministers one after another, causing great damage to their power.
If we do nothing, , I’m afraid the bow and arrow in the hands of the regent will be aimed at us next time.”
Li Shi thought for a long time and finally made up his mind: "Okay, we're afraid this is the only way we can deal with it now."
Li Shi knew in his heart that Zhao Ziliang had already taken action against the Eunuch Party and the Prime Minister Faction.
These two factions would never compromise with Zhao Ziliang.
Now that he had surrendered to Zhao Ziliang, there was a high possibility that Zhao Ziliang would accept him.
After all, Zhao Ziliang also needed help.
October 26th.
Early in the morning, Zhao Ziliang finished his martial arts practice and asked Du Fu who was standing aside during breakfast: "How is Sha Zhali doing?"
Du Fu bowed and replied: "Shazhali is a Tubo man.
When Ge Shuhan was the governor of Longyou, he defeated a Tubo attack.
He found this person among the Tubo prisoners.
He saw that Shazhali was tall and powerful. , the combat power is not Fan, who loved talents, pardoned Sha Zhali's crimes and accepted him as a general.
Geshuhan was still alive and could suppress him.
After Geshuhan was captured, Shazhali's troops fled back to Chang'an, burning and killing him along the way.
Captured and later made into servants Under the command of Gu Huai'en, he was transferred to Lingwu after the Anshi Rebellion.

When Pu Gu Huai'en rebelled, Sha Zhali waved flags and cheered for him.
After Pu Gu Huai'en died, he led his troops to surrender to the court and was appointed as Fengxiang Army Soldier.
Horse envoy, in He made military exploits during the counter-rebellion and was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Fengxiang Army.
He had a violent personality and often allowed soldiers to rob the people.
Many times he even led troops to plunder.
The local government was extremely troubled by this, but there was nothing they could do about him
