The people were killed, the rain was still falling, and the ministers at the entrance of the palace had already fled.

On this rainy day, who would get caught in the rain?

If you really want to resist Zhao Guan's family, you will never waste your body. After all, everyone is wealthy, the Jin army retreats, the good days are coming again, and they are walking outside Donghua Gate!

Wouldn’t it be great to chat about life with girls?

On the second day, Zhang Jun's edict on the appointment of secret minister came down.

Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council is equivalent to being an envoy to the Privy Council, which is referred to as the Zhiyuan.

Knowledge, affairs, these represent that this official position is a dispatching officer. In the Song Dynasty, dispatching officers had real power.

This official position is the boss of the Privy Council, which is equivalent to the Privy Council envoy and is in charge of the country's military affairs.

He also gave him the position of envoy to the Shaanxi General Organization and asked him to go to Shaanxi.

Obviously, Zhang Jun is nominally the boss of the Privy Council, but in fact he is mainly in charge of Shaanxi, that is, the Western Front.

Yesterday's murder had caused a stir, and today another chief clerk was promoted to the Privy Council, which shocked all the officials so much that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

After receiving the news, the first thing many people said was: "Who is Zhang Jun?"

After Tang Ke, the right servant of Shangshu, heard the news, his first words were also like this: "Who is Zhang Jun?"

Chen Jieran, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "Tang Xianggong, this person was still serving as editor of the Privy Council last year, and he once impeached Li Gang."

"Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be him." Tang Ke was shocked, "He is a small editor, but he was promoted to the Imperial Academy. What did the officials see in him?"

Which faction does Zhang Jun belong to?

Is he a reformer or a conservative?

Why did the officials promote him to be the head of Xifu?

A series of doubts swirled in my mind.

Chen Jieran said: "I thought before that the position of the Imperial Academy was reserved for Li Gang. Didn't it mean that the officials had sent people to recall Li Gang? Who would have expected that Zhang Jun would come out in the middle of the process!"

He shook his head, expressing great confusion.

To be honest, many people are very happy that Li Gang is returning to the Privy Council.

Why?

Because that buddy Li Gang has a very old-fashioned character and can't change his ways. He will definitely offend a lot of people when he comes back. Everyone likes this kind of person to be in power.

After you get on top, you can start squirting. After you squirt, you will most likely be jerked off. After being jerked off, you will most likely put your own person on top.

This is how it was done in the first year of Jingkang.

But now the person in charge is Zhang Jun. Everyone is blank about Zhang Jun's character, what methods he has, and what his philosophy is in governing the military and government.

With this blank space, there is no way to start.

"Now I understand less and less what the officials think. 37 heads can be chopped off at will. There has never been such a murderous person in the history of the country! The officials... they are all that Gao Qiu, and they can do that.

Qin Hui, these two people are traitors!"

"It seems that I have underestimated Gao Qiu." Tang Ke stroked his beard, "Didn't the people at Yushitai impeach Gao Qiu?"

"Yes, the impeachment memorial was submitted early this morning, but there has been no movement."

Tang Ke sighed and said, "Then just wait."

Chen Jieran added: "Ms. Tang, many people have told me that they are ready to resign. Officials have been blinded by treacherous ministers. Now people are in panic. If this continues, who will want to be an official!"

Tang Ke was disdainful, so they resigned?

Do they have this species?

Although those people are already extremely rich, becoming an official will make them even richer!

Who is willing to give up the power in their hands?

No one wants to!

They just came to you, Chen Jieran, to vomit their bitterness and asked you to be a forward, so as to put pressure on Zhao Guan's family.

Tang Ke knew it in his heart, but if he didn't say it out loud, those people would do whatever they wanted. Anyway, Tang Ke was a sinecure now.

Shangshu Youpushe is the first-rank official second only to the Grand Master.

The changes in the court situation were unpredictable to everyone for a while.

The candidates to participate in political affairs have not yet been decided, and the recommended memorials are still being submitted.

Within a few days, there was a mountain of recommendation memorials, but Zhao Ning did not read any of them.

Why?

Because the recommendation system of the Song Dynasty is the same as the court recommendation of the Ming Dynasty, which is nonsense.

A group of bureaucrats recommend their own people according to their own ideas. If something goes wrong after the recommended person takes office, the recommender does not have to bear any responsibility.

There is no need to take responsibility, so many people either come with their mouths or seek personal gain.

Therefore, there is no need to read those recommendation memorials.

This recommendation system also needs to be changed, but not now. Everything has priorities.

On May 2, just after a group of people were killed, news from Hebei finally came again.

Zhao Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Zong Ze was withdrawing his troops from Cizhou, that the crisis in Daming Prefecture was resolved, and that the Jin soldiers were withdrawing from all fronts.

Gao Qiu and his henchmen continued to raid homes.

The reporting documents from various prefectures in Hebei have been sent to the capital at great speed.

One memorial after another fell in front of Zhao Ning like snowflakes during this period.

News slowly spread in the capital that the Jin people had withdrawn from the north of Cizhou.

Even on May 4th, some news came that the main force of the Jin army might have retreated to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Now, the imperial court has truly confirmed that the Jin army has really withdrawn to the north.

But as for where to evacuate, we are still at a loss.

What is the current situation in Kaide Mansion?

After Taiyuan fell, wouldn't the subsequent situation be worse than ever before?

On the eighth day of May, Gao Qiu and his lackeys were still busy.

Not only were they searching their homes, but they were also searching for businessmen who had dealings with those officials.

As for how to deal with the families of those officials who were killed, they have also thought about it.

Send to the frontier!

What? The current border is near Handan?

Then we’ll send them there, and then don’t we need to establish strategic depth there?

To do hard work.

How many family members are there among the 37 officials?

3050 people in total!

There are almost eighty people in the family.

This illustrates another problem. The Northern Song Dynasty was the beginning of the population explosion of the ancient feudal dynasty, with the population exceeding 100 million for the first time. However, by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, bureaucrats were corrupt and the poor were unable to get married, let alone have children.

This is called being a forced bachelor, with no future.

On the contrary, rich people can marry a lot of people and have many children in their families.

This still reflects the problem of extreme wealth and poverty.

If this problem is not solved, the Song Dynasty will be hopeless!

On May 9, the envoy sent by Zhao Guan's family arrived in Cizhou and summoned Zongze to Beijing.

On May 10th, Generalissimo Zhao Gou led his army of King Qin and arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River in the name of King Qin.

At this time, Zhao Gou had also confirmed that the Jin army had really retreated, and his pressure suddenly decreased.

Zhao Gou's army, with banners like clouds, looked as powerful as a rainbow.

Those who didn’t know better thought they had just gone to the north and pressed the Jin army to the ground and rubbed it a hundred times.

On the morning of May 10th, Zhao Gou's memorial was delivered to the capital.

He still knows the rules very well. After all, he has led an army of 100,000 King Qin, and now the Jin army has retreated. If he directly approaches the city, it would be an act of trespass.
