This is all Zhao Zhen’s evaluation of Yunzheng’s book.
With this evaluation, he then gave Yun Zheng a request that he was not allowed to return to Beijing unless he had an order!
Seeing the leaves outside the window gradually turning yellow and falling off, Zhao Zhen felt strong confidence once again. He had successfully survived more than half a year, so he had the confidence to survive another year or several years. A few days ago, because of
Neglecting to let go of the power, he feels the need to take it back again.
So an edict was written word by word on the yellow imperial edict by Zou Tong in front of Prime Minister Pang Ji, as well as the civil and military ministers and the queen.
Seeing this imperial edict, Queen Cao's face turned pale. She knelt in front of Zhao Zhen's bed and gritted her teeth as she stared at the emperor on the bed without blinking. The emperor glanced at the queen with an angry expression that even a slave like Zou Tong felt terrified.
.
Pang Ji took a long breath, and then stamped his Pingzhangshi seal. Seeing that Huang Jie also endorsed the imperial edict, he said to Liu Yuanshao, the Minister of Punishment: "This is the imperial pen system."
Investigate the case and supervise it quickly!"
"Please have mercy on Your Majesty!" Queen Cao finally said these words.
The emperor looked at Zou Tong and started to blink again. Zou Tong quickly found the corresponding text from Shuowen Jiezi and asked the emperor to read it for confirmation before turning it to the empress and the civil and military officials.
"Cao Rong's crime is unforgivable! Queen Yi decrees that she cannot leave the palace easily!"
Queen Cao closed her eyes in pain, and big tears fell from her face. The emperor's will could not be shaken. Cao Rong's family of more than 60 people could only be sent to Lingnan without mercy!
Empress Cao kept accusing Yun Zheng of refusing to save her, but later she even intensified, believing that it was Yun Zheng who made too much noise in the western Yunnan grasslands that caused Cao Rong's defeat and death in Jianchang Prefecture, and strongly requested the Privy Council to punish Yun Zheng for trapping friendly forces in Yunnan.
It was the crime of refusing to save Cao Rong, so he did not hesitate to use two gold medals to urge Yun Zheng to return to the capital. Now, the emperor's words made the commotion that had just started slowly fall down. He made the final determination of Cao Rong's behavior.
People can overturn it.
When Zou Tong saw the emperor looking at him again, he immediately picked up a brocade box from the table with understanding and said to Wen Yanbo: "Your Majesty has ordered the Secretary of Internal Affairs to copy the sixteen volumes of this book and place it under seal for internal examination.
mistaken."
Wen Yanbo took the brocade box and took a look. There was no writing on the brocade box. He knew that he had no right to read this book. Since the emperor ordered the palace secretary to copy it by hand, it meant that this was an important secret of the Song Dynasty.
, there are some eunuchs under the Secretary who are not allowed to leave the palace for life, and they specialize in doing these confidential things.
Naturally, Wen Yanbo, who was sophisticated in the world, would not ask too many questions. This was an order issued by the emperor himself and he could just carry it out. Thinking too much could easily lead to trouble. Han Qi was angry because he was dissatisfied with the empress's decree and repeatedly interfered with the political affairs office.
And he invited the queen to come and take part in political affairs, which caused a great sensation in Tokyo.
The emperor, who has not been seen for many days, has now personally issued an order to restrict the queen's authority. This is a good thing, and we dare not cause any more trouble.
He didn't care, but the queen was staring at the brocade box. She didn't know what was inside. As a frightened bird, she wanted to know what kind of book was in the brocade box...
When Pang Ji saw the emperor closing his eyes tiredly, he led the ministers out of the newly built Tianshou Palace. He was very glad that the emperor still had the ability to adjust the political situation. This was very important to the Song Dynasty. It was very important.
I don't know why, in just two months when the emperor was resting, countless signs of chaos had appeared. He was like a tinker, trying to plug leaks everywhere. When he saw that they could no longer be plugged, the emperor cut them off with a decree.
Cut off the roots of trouble.
In the great Song Dynasty, the official positions were stacked on top of each other, supervising and restricting each other, whether it was the Prime Minister Gate, the Pingzhang Army State Affairs Gate, the Shangshu Neishang Gate, the Privy Council Gate, the Bachelor's College Gate, or the Jingyan Gate.
Officials, envoys, prime ministers, Zhongshumen, and the three divisions cannot make mistakes anywhere. Once they make mistakes, the entire Song Dynasty will become chaotic. When the emperor lacks the ability to adjust the balance between left and right, the mutual constraints among officials will become
If they make things difficult for each other, mutual supervision will turn into mutual criticism.
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were proud. No one could cover the sky with one hand. Even in the era of Lu Yijian's iron fist, he still had countless political opponents who were constantly attacking him.
Pang Ji knew that he was not as capable as Lu Yijian and could not control this huge bureaucracy. So after Han Qi left, he urgently needed someone to help him stabilize the court. After the selection, he thought Wang Anshi was a very good candidate.
.
After leaving the palace gate, he went directly to the yamen of the commanding envoy in front of the palace. The person holding this position now is Di Qing. He controls an army of 400,000 guards in the capital. Almost all the soldiers in Bianliang City in Tokyo are under his jurisdiction.
under.
Without the presence of Supervisor Li Chang, Di Qing's power in Tokyo would be almost unrivaled. Even Pang Ji would need to consult him anytime and anywhere.
This is not because Di Qing became more powerful and set his sights higher, so he stopped giving face to people like Pang Ji. Now he doesn't even give face to his wife.
A man lives alone in the Commander's Office in front of the palace, with no one else around except an old servant. Since he took over the military power in Tokyo, he has never returned home. The door of the Commander's Office in front of the temple is open all day long.
Passers-by can see Di Qing's lobby as long as they pass by the door.
He never closes the door when seeing guests, so the guests lose the opportunity to come to him to talk secretly. He wants to use this method to let everyone in the world know that Di Qing is selfless in his heart!
Pang Ji walked into the door and was welcomed by Di Qing to sit down in the lobby. He took a sip of tea and said: "This is imitating Li Jing's old wisdom. He was highly suspected back then and had no choice but to open the door to show his innocence. The Song Dynasty was not
In the past, why did you suffer so much?"
Di Qing shook his head and said: "I am innocent and not a person who is obsessed with power. Your Majesty knows it, Prime Minister Pang knows it, but others don't know it. It is too easy for three people to become tigers in this world, so I opened the door and asked
Xiaoxiao, shut up and let the benevolent rest assured."
Pang Ji smiled and said: "I always feel that this method has Yun Zheng's rogue vibe. The queen gave him two gold medals to summon him back to the capital. Do you know what his answer was? There are too few gold medals and not enough travel expenses. Wait for the gold medal.
The amount is enough to support his travel expenses back to Beijing. He is the only person in the world who dares to make fun of His Majesty's gold medal."
Di Qing frowned and said, "This is not good. Where did it lead to Your Majesty?"
Pang Ji laughed and said: "His Majesty is still following his tricks. Today, Your Majesty summoned the queen and took away the queen's authority in front of us. From then on, Yi decreed that she could not leave the palace. He also ordered that all Cao Rong's family be sent to Lingnan, and he would not be pardoned.
.
As for Yunzheng taking in King Xin, Your Majesty did not mention a word about framing Cao Rong in Shu."
Di Qing became angry after snapping the case and said: "Why did Yunzheng frame Cao Rong? Did he block his rations or his weapons? Or did he secretly send troops to attack Cao Rong? Cao Rong had a lot of troops stationed in the building. Changfu is a small place, with superior military strength and superior equipment, but it is not a pity to die if his head is cut off by bandits from the Dali Kingdom!"
After Jianchang Prefecture was lost, the Western Army under Di Qing suffered the most. The ancient Tang-Tibet Road was severely blocked. Not only him, but also Fubi, Zhonge, and the Zhejia stationed in Fuzhou also suffered heavy losses. These emerging generals, Cao Rong, had very strong opinions. Zhong Er and Zhe Kexing both wrote to the emperor requesting to unite the troops to conquer the Dali bandits who occupied Jianchang Mansion. However, the emperor ruthlessly rejected the task. The little-known Zhao Min and Zhao Yannian.
Di Qing, Zhong E, and Zhe Kexing calmed down their thoughts of going to Dali after learning that Zhao Min and Zhao Yannian were generals of the Western Jingxi Army. In their view, as long as the troops and generals who went there were those who dared to fight. Sooner or later, the Jianchangfu Commercial Road will be opened up.
Pang Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry about Yun Huhu. This person may seem reckless in his actions, but in fact he is watertight. Moreover, he is the most accurate judge of people and knows clearly what His Majesty wants. As long as he gives His Majesty what he wants, , he will naturally sit back and relax."
Di Qing saw that Pang Ji said it easily, so he smiled and said: "Yes, people are so infuriating. I live in fear in the capital, and I am afraid of breaking my head when the dust falls. He is at the top of the limelight, but he has time to do academic work." .
The knowledge of a warrior is extremely difficult. Without a stable mind, there is no hope at all. Look at this "Military Theory", he wrote it so carefully, even I have benefited a lot from this book.
I am good at summarizing previous war cases, but he is looking forward to the development direction of future wars. He has become a master of firearms!"
Pang Ji took the book handed over by Di Qing. He just glanced at it and immediately connected the book with the contents in the brocade box. After thinking about it for a moment, he resisted opening the book and rubbed the blue cover. : "Military books and strategies have always been taboo. If treated inhumanely, it will cause endless harm. Since Yun Huhu gave this book to Di Shuai, Di Shuai had better keep it carefully and not let others use it to use it. .”
Di Qing took the book from Pang Ji with a smile and carefully placed it on his bookshelf. Before he could turn around, Pang Ji said decisively: "Shuai Di, Wang Anshi must return to the capital. The capital is now full of demons. We We need someone who can sort out this mess in the capital."
Di Qing said in shock: "Pang Xiang is the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. Since recalling Wang Anshi is a must, just do it. Why do you tell me?"
Pang Ji stood up and looked at Di Qing and said solemnly: "Since we want to employ people, we must give Wang Anshi great power. Recalling Wang Anshi can naturally be done, but to give him great power, Di Shuai must co-sign on my memorial." No!" (To be continued)
