Zhao Shuo clearly expressed dissatisfaction with this answer: "Why is this?"

Wei Xiang thought about it and felt that telling Zhao Shuo directly, "You are too far behind your father" might lead to serious consequences, so he decided to change to a more tactful way: "Now the strength of Zhao's family is not enough to do this."

Zhao Shuo had obviously thought about it for a long time and said directly: "Shibo, Luan Bo and me, there are already three of the five ministers. Isn't it enough? Moreover, Xian Bo is not something that cannot be fought for."

Wei Xiang said: "If Wei Xiang expected it was not bad, Zhongxing Bo must have won over Xian Bo and would also lose to Junhou, and also consider the position of Que Ke after he inherited the position of Qing. As for us, my uncle is not Que Bo. With his character, he probably would not agree to go directly to Shangqing to pass Zhongxing Bo."

Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment and said, "There are people in this world who really don't want to be a noble?"

Wei Xiang said: "This is not the case, but my uncle would rather be in office as the Shangqing minister in accordance with the previous rules."

"Rules, rules, damn rules!" Zhao Shuo suddenly broke out and said unhappily: "Is it the rules of others that only have the final say, but the rules of my Zhao family cannot be calculated?"

Wei Xiang looked at Zhao Shuo, and it was not surprising that Zhao Shuo's performance was like this.

Since Zhao Shuo's grandfather Zhao Shuo, the Zhao family has always been famous for breaking the rules.

Wei Xiang said calmly: "The rules are final or not, it mainly depends on strength."

Zhao Shuo knocked on the table and said coldly: "The strength of Zhao is not just the part you see."

Wei Xiang said: "But if Zhao cannot affect Jun Hou and Shi Bo, we will have no chance of winning against Shangqing this time."

Zhao Shuo was silent for a while and said, "I will visit Shibo first."

Wei Xiang said: "I will go to the side of the servant to ask for a meeting."

Zhao Shuo visited the Scholars that day.

The next day, Zhao Shuo's expression was not good, so he convened Yuan Tong, Ping Kuo and Lou Ying to hold an internal meeting of the Zhao family's senior management.

Although the Zhao clan clearly showed a huge internal rift after the deprivation of the original clan leader, the four of them naturally needed to discuss this major event that determined the fate of the country and the future of the Zhao clan.

But this was just the idea of ​​the three brothers of the original, because Zhao Shuo did not think about discussing with them at all, but announced his decision as soon as he came up: "Three uncles, I have made up my mind that Zhao will not participate in the battle for the position of Shangqing this time."

The subtle meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Since Zhao does not participate, Lin’s father in the Central Bank will inevitably become the one who inherits but lacks a position.

Yuan Tong and Ping Kuo looked at each other and saw a little bit of gratitude in each other's eyes.

These two people were actually colluding with Lin's father in the Bank of China in secret, and this time, Lin's father in the Bank of China also gave them a very important promise in exchange for their efforts to keep Zhao out of trouble.

Originally, the two thought this matter would be quite difficult, but they never expected that Zhao Shuo's decision would be so gratifying.

The discussion ended very quickly this time, and Yuan Tong and Ping Kuo left in the same car.

The matter was successfully completed, but the two brothers were still a little unhappy.

Ping Kuo said, "Brother, although the matter has been achieved, this time that boy Zhao Shuo made a decision without even asking about our opinions. Does he think that the Zhao clan is really something he can decide with one word?"

Yuan Tong said with a cold expression: "Do you think it's not?"

Ping Kuo was stunned and after a while, he said, "It's all that Wei Xiang! If he hadn't done this and that for Zhao Shuo, he wouldn't have made Zhao Shuo so big now, and he wouldn't have been able to control it."

Yuan Tong touched the beard under his jaw and said lightly: "The reason why Zhao Shuo made up his mind so simply this time is that he might have nothing to do with Wei Xiang."

Ping Kuo took a deep breath and said softly: "If you want to seize the power of the Zhao family, this Wei Prime Minister must be eliminated!"

Yuan Tong nodded, and suddenly smiled on his face: "From the current situation, it is almost certain that Zhongxing Bo inherited the position of Shangqing. Everyone knows the grudges between Zhongxing Bo and Wei Xiang. After Zhongxing Bo takes office, there will naturally be good fruits from Wei Xiang!"

The two of them laughed gloatingly.

Just like entering the lower palace, Wei Xiang entered the palace city very smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Xiang found that many people on the way were quite nervous, and there was a tense atmosphere in the entire palace, which was a bit like the feeling of a war coming.

Speaking of which, isn’t this battle for power and profit also a battlefield without gunpowder?

Wei Xiang saw Tu Anjia standing at the entrance of the hall.

Tu Anjia's nostrils were facing the sky, pretending not to see Wei Xiang.

Wei Xiang smiled, ignored Tu Anjia and walked into the hall.

The young Jin Hou Ji Ju sat in the hall, concentrating on what he was writing.

Wei Prime Minister saluted to Ji Ju and said, "I have seen you."

Ji Ju raised his head and said to Wei Xiang happily: "Come on, let's see how my husband's calligraphy is?"

Ji Ju was originally a calligraphy enthusiast.

Wei Xiang pinched his chin and looked at Ji Ju's calligraphy for a while, and said calmly: "Your Madam's calligraphy is as graceful as a stunning geese, as gentle as a dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemums, lush spring pine. It seems like the light clouds covering the moon, and the floating pine is like the flowing wind returning to the snow. I really admire it."

Ji Ju was stunned at first when he heard this, then couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be talking in a mess."

As the saying goes, "I don't wear it all the time, so although I haven't seen you for several months, the atmosphere between the monarch and the ministers quickly became warmer."

Ji Ji asked, "I heard that you have been very active these days after you came back."

Wei Xiang said: "That's right. I first went to Xi Bo's mansion to pay condolences, and then went to the lower palace to pay homage to Zhao Meng."

Ji Ju's face slightly darkened and said, "Why don't you come to see me first?"

Wei Xiang said: "Actually, I asked Doctor Tu'an Jia to bring back my plan to Junhou a few months ago. The reason I went to other places this time was to better control the new situation and think that Junhou would give me some advice."

Ji Ji's face became calmer and said, "This is the same. You said in your letter that everything only needs to follow the old rules, so what you mean is to let Xi Ke enter the Six Ministers, and then let Zhongxing Bo inherit the position of Shangqing?"

Wei Xiang said: "It's true."

Ji Yu took a deep breath and then said slowly after a while: "But if so, what does it have to do with this marquis?"

Wei Xiang said: "Of course there is. This time the change of Shangqing is a great opportunity for Jun Hou to regain power from the clan."
