"Master Prime Minister?"

The servant next to him looked at the prime minister and frowned slightly.

When did this happen?

If the Prime Minister doesn't make a decision.

They may be in a passive position.

Wang Feng is not an easy person to get along with.

Once they get a hold of us, the fight will never stop.

Moreover, Your Majesty trusted Wang Feng very much. Not only did he confer the title of Marquis on him, he also made him the Grand Marshal, in charge of all the military forces in the world.

This is enough to show Your Majesty's trust in the Wang family.

In the eyes of these retainers.

Your Majesty is too confused.

In order to restrain their family's head, they actually supported their in-laws.

And the person who supports them also has a wolfish ambition.

Because the other party's sister is the Empress Dowager, and they are Your Majesty's uncles.

Under such circumstances, Your Majesty will definitely get close to the royal family.

Once Your Majesty gets close to Wang Feng and others, Your Majesty and their side will be in danger.

If you can't find a solution.

Their lives may be in danger.

It was for this reason that after hearing the news, he couldn't wait to appear in the adults' mansion.

Then tell the adults about it.

I just want adults to prepare early.

But when he saw the adults' current appearance, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

You guys don't want to do this, do you?

Just when he was confused.

The Prime Minister looked at him and said, "Have you found any clues?"

"Wang Feng has been entering the Imperial City quite frequently recently. Ask the people in the Imperial City to pay attention and report any unusual movements immediately."

"Also, let our people be more careful and restrained, and don't commit crimes during this period of time."

"Don't let them fall into Wang Feng's hands."

"Here!"

The doorman nodded.

He has his own conclusion on this matter.

He had arranged all these things before coming here.

Although it seemed like he was overstepping his authority, he had no other choice.

If there were any other way, we wouldn't have to go to this point.

The prestige of Wang Feng and his brothers in the court grew day by day.

If Wang Feng and the Zhang family are involved again, it will be extremely difficult for them to turn things around.

This matter must be planned early.

After dealing with this matter properly, the prime minister followed the previous process.

Act like nothing happened.

Go to court on time.

However, after several confrontations between him and Wang Feng.

Wang Feng's position in the court became increasingly stable.

In addition, His Majesty also stands on Wang Feng's side, which makes Wang Feng even more powerful.

After Wang Feng gained the support of His Majesty, he began to form factions in the court, and these people are now even undermining his own power.

After his left and right arms are cut off by Wang Feng, the other party will definitely attack him.

The prime minister had almost guessed his own ending.

But he said almost nothing.

Instead, he quietly did what he was supposed to do in the court.

He is a kind and honest person.

He was loyal to the Han Dynasty and Liu Ao and never harbored any rebellious thoughts.

He disdained Wang Feng's rebellious behavior and his ability to gather a large number of followers in the court.

He had already explained everything clearly to His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't care.

Since His Majesty doesn't care, there is nothing to say. He can only wait and see. If he can find Wang Feng's fault, he will definitely strike back.

25 BC.

Wang Feng and the prime minister had different opinions.

Especially in politics.

The two people have different ideas.

In addition, the prime minister had been rising steadily in the political arena, and the other party was also a relative of the emperor, and his political talent was not inferior to Wang Feng.

The two had different opinions on many issues and their relationship gradually became tense.

Wang Feng saw that something was wrong.

Plus the memorial that the Zhang family had given him before.

There is a lot of evidence about the prime minister's crimes.

After finding the evidence to prove his guilt, Wang Feng began to openly target the prime minister.

But Wang Feng is also an extremely smart person.

There was no blatant targeting of the Prime Minister.

Instead, they joined forces with court officials.

Send someone to secretly investigate the prime minister's privacy.

After confirming that the prime minister had indeed done what was reported in the memorial, he instigated Shangshu Geng Ding from Pinyang to frame the prime minister.

The prime minister had no way to defend himself.

Originally, Liu Ao wanted to handle it with care.

After all, it was he who fostered Wang Feng to balance the power in the court.

But he never thought of letting Wang Feng's family dominate the market.

Therefore, after hearing about this matter, he originally planned to take it lightly and not do anything to the prime minister.
But Wang Feng was the one who escaped his control.

The evidence presented convinced all the civil and military officials in the court.

Even he had no chance to speak.

Originally, Liu Ao felt that the matter was difficult to verify, but Wang Feng insisted on investigating it, so Liu Ao had no choice but to resign from his position as prime minister.

The Prime Minister has just been dismissed.

Three days later, he vomited blood and died of grief and anger.

After the Prime Minister died.

His family had no one to protect it.

All of his clan members and relatives who worked in the palace were driven out of the imperial city.

After the prime minister was removed, Wang Feng ruled the country in a monopolistic manner and had no rivals at all.

When Liu Ao saw this, it was too late to regret.

Originally, the prime minister was a particularly honest and loyal person. As long as Liu Ao truly trusted the prime minister, such a thing would never have happened.

However, the eunuchs' monopoly of power left a deep impression on Liu Ao's mind. After he used his relatives to break up the eunuchs' monopoly of power, he wanted to balance the power in the court.

He wanted to use the two groups of relatives to check and balance each other in order to achieve political balance.

His plan was originally perfect.

But his ability to control it is not good enough.

Plus the talents of Wang Feng and his team.

When Liu Ao was unable to manage the situation, Wang Feng's family became the dominant force.

Now that the prime minister has been eliminated, Wang Feng has become the first foreign relative of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Wei heard about this.

There was no unnecessary expression on his face.

This matter was already within his expectations.

When Liu Ao supported his relatives by marriage and balanced power, he had expected that such a day would come.

But I didn't expect that Liu Ao would do this matter so badly.

Liu Ao's policy of checks and balances was not successful. The power of Queen Mother Wang's family continued to grow and they became the final winners.

Today, Wang Feng's family is growing stronger and stronger.

Even the Lord can never contend with it.

They could only watch as Wang Feng and his group's position in the court became increasingly secure.

Originally, Liu Ao wanted to form an alliance with the Zhang family and make someone from the Zhang family a marquis.

This is to curb the development of the Wang Feng clan.

But Zhang Shengcheng refused.

Since Zhang Shengcheng refused to accept the challenge, Liu Ao was helpless.

They could only watch Wang Feng’s family become the dominant force.

Time flies, the days and months pass by like a shuttle.

22 BC.

Wang Feng is seriously ill.

When Wang Feng was seriously ill, his nephew Wang Mang was always by his side to serve him.

This deeply moved Wang Feng, who was seriously ill.

When he died, he asked the empress dowager Wang Zhengjun to take care of Wang Mang.

Wang Feng’s sudden death shocked Zhang Wei greatly.

But it was also within expectations.

After all, Wang Feng is still not young.

Being able to live to this day is considered a gift from them.

When Wang Feng died, he recommended his younger brother.

He wanted Wang Yin to take his place.

That day, Wang Feng talked with Liu Ao for a long time in the Weiyang Palace.

No one knows what the king and his minister talked about.

All we know is that after Wang Feng left Weiyang Palace.

Liu Ao then issued an edict, letting Wang Yin take over Wang Feng's position.

As soon as this news came out.

Everyone in the court was in an uproar.

They looked at His Majesty in shock.

Well known.

Your Majesty has long been wary of the Wang Feng clan.

Since he was wary of Wang Feng's family, why did he let his brother become the Grand Marshal and take charge of the affairs of the Shangshu before Wang Feng's death?

This didn't make any sense. But they had no way to verify it.

Just follow orders.

After Wang Feng passed away.

Liu Ao naturally went to the mansion in person to express his condolences.

Zhang Wei was naturally among them.

Seeing Liu Ao’s sad and angry look, Zhang Wei didn’t know what to say.

And the other party is in a bad mood.

Naturally, Zhang Wei wouldn't say much to Liu Ao.

to their position.

The most important thing to do now is to protect yourself.

Do not get involved in any political party's governance.

Don’t even get involved in the fight for imperial power.

They just need to do their own thing well, and the right way is to develop the Zhang family steadily.

At this time, he had already talked to Zhang Shengcheng.

After Zhang Shengcheng finished his mourning period, he entered the court and was ranked as one of the Nine Ministers.

He and Zhang Shengcheng stand together in the court, so naturally there will be countless people following them.

What these people care about is the Zhang family behind them.

There is also Zhang Shengcheng’s identity as the head of the Zhang family.

Zhang Shengcheng accepted all those who wanted to join him.

If you don't want to be isolated and helpless, you have no choice but to go along with them.

There is no one in the court who is untainted by the mud.

Even the censor.

Not everyone is honest and upright.

Although this position can greatly help them go down in history.

But almost always after death.

If the censor does not die, there is no possibility for his name to be recorded in history.

Zhang Wei inquired about the situation of the Wang family.

After confirming that the Wang family had become the first foreign relative of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Wei then began to make follow-up plans.

Wang Mang already had a foundation to gain a foothold in the court.

There will be almost no change in what happens next.

He will not interfere with the changes in history.

Nor will they fight desperately to prolong its life as they did in the past.

Now he just needs to make the Zhang family the number one family.

Save the land of China.

Apart from that, he won't interfere in anything.

After Zhang Wei paid his condolences to Wang Feng.

Then he returned to the mansion.

Then continue writing books.

at the same time.

In the imperial city.

After Liu Ao returned to Weiyang Palace.

He was furious and knocked over everything on the table.

The eunuch next to him looked at the furious Liu Ao, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he knelt on the ground.

Your Majesty has been cultivating your character over the years.

I have never seen His Majesty so angry.

Your Majesty just visited the Wang family.

Why are you so angry when you come back?
No one around dared to step forward.

I could only kneel on the ground silently.

After Liu Ao swept all these things to the ground, he looked coldly at the eunuch next to him.

"Useless things, get out of here!"

The eunuchs on the ground responded.

Then he ran out in a hurry.

After seeing these people leave.

Liu Ao sat heavily on his seat.

His eyes were full of anger.

Wang Feng is really going too far.

He's just an old man who's about to die.

He even threatened him.

Thinking about what happened that day.

Liu Ao wanted to exterminate Wang Feng's entire family.

If Wang Feng didn’t say it.

He will hand over the power in Wang Feng's hands to someone from the Wang family.

Although not all will be given.

But he will not let the Wang family down.

But what did Wang Feng do?
He actually threatened the Emperor of Han.

Who gave him the courage?

Thinking of what happened that day, Liu Ao trembled all over.

Then he asked someone to invite Zhang Wei into the palace.

Zhang Wei just returned to the mansion.

The seats aren't even warm yet.

He was invited into the imperial city.

After entering the imperial city.

Zhang Wei then saw Liu Ao sitting not far away.

The moment Liu Ao saw Zhang Wei, a smile appeared on his face.

As if he had seen a life-saving straw, he quickly walked towards Zhang Wei.

"My dear, you are finally here!"

"Please take a seat, my dear!"

Liu Ao was very polite to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was a little confused.

Following Liu Ao's instructions, Zhang Wei sat on the chair next to him.

Liu Ao looked at Zhang Wei sitting on his seat, nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to his seat.

After both of them were seated.

Liu Ao asked someone to make them a cup of tea.

"This is the fine tea I had someone bring back from the extreme south."

"My dear, you are the first one to taste it!"

"Try it and see how this goes!"

Zhang Wei: "..."

He suddenly doesn't want to drink. What's going on?

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Moreover, he is the king of a country and is courteous to me.

There is definitely something wrong with this.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Ao and did not touch the teacup in front of him. Instead, he said to Liu Ao, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help Your Majesty!"

Liu Ao heard this.

The expression on his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Then he said: "If a minister threatens me, how should you respond?"

Zhang Wei heard this.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said without hesitation: "Anyone who offends the emperor's dignity will be killed without mercy!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After listening to this, Liu Ao laughed heartily.

He looked at Zhang Wei steadily and told him everything about his conversation with Wang Feng.

After Zhang Wei listened to the conversation between Liu Ao and Wang Feng.

Everyone was confused.

Wang Feng is so bold.

He actually threatened the emperor directly in the imperial city.

The most important thing is that Liu Ao agreed.

Let Wang Feng's younger brother Wang Yin become the next Grand Marshal.

Are you crazy?

"Why did Your Majesty agree?" Zhang Wei asked the question in his mind.

Liu Ao looked at him and saw a trace of melancholy on Zhang Wei's face.

Then he said: "I have no choice!"

"I have thought about cooperating with the Zhang family before, but the Zhang family ignored me and didn't even plan to interfere in the affairs of the court."

"I know that before me, some emperors did irreparable things to the Zhang family. These things have nothing to do with me."

"But now I just want to be a wise ruler and make the Han Dynasty a better place. What's wrong with me?"

"Since you are a member of the Zhang family's side branch, could you please convey a message to the head of the Zhang family for me?"

Liu Ao looked at Zhang Wei dimly and said calmly: "It's not in vain. If you have any needs, I will definitely do everything I can to meet your needs!"

Zhang Wei saw Liu Ao's anxiety.

He shook his head helplessly.

Is this a desperate attempt to find a cure?
Liu Ao was indeed a little careless this time.

And I'm particularly anxious.

There is absolutely no need to rush this matter.

There's no need to push yourself so hard.

They still have plenty of time to take their time, so why make things like this?

But when he saw Liu Ao's expression, Zhang Wei nodded.

Such a great bargain, it would be a waste if you don't pick it up. (End of this chapter)
