"Since Lord Sun is so confident, I will go and see how Lord Sun fights this battle." Qin Liangyu said with a smile.

"Then please wait and see, old general." Sun Chuanting said with a smile.

The density of war clouds in Chongqing is such that a war is about to break out.

However, the capital was peaceful, and all the government offices were busy settling accounts at the end of the year, fearing that His Majesty would discover any mistakes.

At the same time, some people in the court were also worried because someone had submitted a petition a few days ago, saying that he wanted to be examined in Beijing.

Not only other things, but just the mention of the two words "Jingcha" makes many people panic.

Although the political situation seems stable now, everyone knows that it is not stable at all.

Now in the court, there are two people, Han Yu, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Huang Kexun, the cabinet minister and minister of justice, who are colluding with each other to form a party. Although they do not say so to the outside world, in fact everyone knows what is going on.

Xu Guangqi, the second assistant to the cabinet and the minister of works, and Shen Tingyun, the minister of revenue, also colluded with each other and formed a powerful party.

In addition, there were Cabinet Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong and Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, who were also having an affair.

Add to that Wei Zhongxian from the East Factory and Cui Chengxiu from the Censorate, and the situation becomes even more turbulent.

The court is so stable now because it has been busy before.

Now that everyone has some free time, the struggle for power and profit will naturally arise.

The imperial court's Jingcha has always been a means for officials to fight with each other. Once someone brought up this matter, no one would be immune to tension, and everyone was waiting for the palace's response.

Once someone from the palace is sent to the capital for inspection, the other factions will probably be in a panic.

In the Western Garden.

Zhu Youxiao threw the question book on the table with a gloomy expression on his face.

Leaning back in the rocking chair and rocking gently, Zhu Youxiao had a rather unpleasant expression on his face.

It is obvious that these ministers are restless again.

Now Zhu Youxiao also understood one thing, that is, if he was not careful, these people would start fighting.

But think about it, you will understand that this struggle for power and profit will never stop.

Moreover, these bigwigs in the court all have their own ideas and policies. With their status and years of service, what have they not seen in the officialdom?

Money and women have long been out of their sight. Having achieved such a high position, their only desire might be to leave a name in history, and at most to gain some benefits for themselves, but that was only incidental.

They were thinking about how to monopolize power and realize their ambitions.

They were busy some time ago and couldn't take care of this; now it's different, everyone is thinking about how to defeat others and take the position themselves.

Not to mention other things, just take the Liaodong affairs in the previous life. Although there were corruption and party struggles, you say that the struggle was so fierce just because of the corruption?

That's not the case either.

You want to do this, I want to do that; I think you can't do it, and you think I can't do it. So you hold me back, and I hold you back. What's the result?

The result is that no one can do their job well, and people get angry as they argue with each other?

Since I can't convince you, I'll kill you. If I can't solve the problem, I'll kill the person who raised the problem.

Although the court seems to be stable now, it is not the case. Once the court is stable, these people will think about starting a struggle.

Now these people in the court are all big shots, so if they really start fighting, it will be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of that, Zhu Youxiao felt a bit of a headache. Bringing all the big guys together was not a good idea. If these people were to make trouble day and night, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.

We have to find a way to keep them from worrying about these things.

But what should we do about this?

Push Wei Zhongxian out as a target?

As civil officials, Zhu Youxiao had already felt their pulse. When there was an external enemy, they would be relatively united.

For example, when Yan Song was in power, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng formed a group! All disputes were put aside, and they gathered around Emperor Longqing, fighting Yan Song to the death.

But once Yan Song was finished, you see how they fought among themselves, it was like people beating heads out of dogs.

First, Gao Gong defeated Xu Jie, and then Zhang Juzheng killed Gao Gong.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly figured it out. He decided to find them a common goal so they wouldn't have time to mess around. Who would be the most suitable person to find?

We must first make them aware of the crisis and ensure that they are scared when this person is brought out.

From this perspective, Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun are not suitable.

Xu Xianchun is too young. He has just taken over as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. He hasn't even had time to warm up to the position yet. The interpersonal relationships within the Jinyiwei have not been sorted out yet. It is not appropriate to let him be a target.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he was not worthy of being fought against. What could a head of the East Factory do?

It is not appropriate to tie Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun together. You must know that the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard have always been divided and ruled. In order to prevent Wei Zhongxian from becoming too powerful in the palace, he also promoted Chen Hong.

If it was just Wei Zhongxian alone, Zhu Youxiao felt that he might not be able to win.

He drank a bowl of tea and looked at the sky in the distance. Zhu Youxiao really couldn't figure it out.

With Wei Zhongxian's current strength, he is no match for the bigwigs in the court.
