Chapter 72 Li Zhan is the Prime Minister

It was also the first time that Gu Tingye felt Li Zhan's strength so intuitively, he lowered his head and whispered.

"Zi Qing once practiced the ancestral martial arts of my Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. His martial arts are exquisite and deeply hidden!!"

Zhao Zongquan was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Zhan would have such a relationship with Gu Tingye, and he would definitely be able to win him over and rely on him as his arm in the future.

The official sat on the dragon chair, looked at Zhao Zongquan, and announced that he would prepare a grand ceremony for him to be crowned prince tomorrow. This was a complete appeasement to the Yuzhou group, and they all expressed their submission to the official.

The official took a look at Li Zhan who was covered in blood and didn't say much. He just asked him to go back to his house to rest and then pay him the reward tomorrow morning.

Li Zhan didn't care and left the palace directly, feeling quite relaxed and relaxed.

In the early morning of the next day, all the officials had serious faces. It was unknown how many people were involved in the rebellion last night, and they walked towards the palace in fear.

Li Zhan looked relaxed. He changed into a clean purple robe and walked briskly, forming a sharp contrast with the people around him.

Now King Yan has been beheaded by Li Zhan himself. King Yong had already been ordered to execute all his family members when King Yan was in rebellion. So now the situation is very clear. Only Zhao Zongquan, who has contributed to the rescue, is left.

The family had no other choice. In front of all the civil and military officials, Zhao Zongquan was canonized as the crown prince and would inherit the throne in the future. In this way, Zhao Zongquan became the official's heir. He was called father to the official family and mother to the queen.

In addition to conferring crown princes, the officials also lavished rewards on the generals of Yuzhou, including promotions and titles, silks, silks, gold, silver and jewels. The generals of Yuzhou were smiling from ear to ear.

Gu Tingye was even appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace, and became a fourth-grade military commander. Moreover, the position of commander was still vacant. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the official's plan at a glance. This was for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Leaving room for mercy, when the prince ascends the throne, the position of commander will inevitably fall on Gu Tingye. He will have purple robes and goldfish bags, and he will become a second-grade high-ranking general in one fell swoop.

After all the Yuzhou generals had finished awarding rewards, the official stood up, walked down the steps, and came to Li Zhan. His old palms supported Li Zhan's shoulders, and his charitable face was full of affection.

, patted Li Zhan on the shoulder, turned to look at the ministers, and then announced the decree.

"Promote Hanlin bachelor, Yushi Zhongcheng Li Zhan to be the Privy Council envoy, and also the minister of Zhongshu!"

The Privy Council and the Zhongshu Gate are collectively called the Second House. The Zhongshu Gate is the government, and the Privy Council is the Privy Office, both of which are central government agencies. The Privy Council has twelve rooms to handle affairs, namely: the North Room, the Hexi Room, and the Branch Office in Beijing.

Room, review room, Guangxi room, military registration room, militia room, official room, zhizao room, stable room, minor official room. Privy Council President, Privy Envoy, and Privy Council officials are filled by scholars, which are respectively the first rank and the second rank.

In the early Song Dynasty, the Central Secretary and the Privy Council were in charge of civil and military affairs. The prime minister was not allowed to prepare military affairs because he did not have the title of Privy Council. During the Qingli period, when troops were used in Xixia, the prime minister was also the Privy Council envoy. The Privy Council envoy was the highest military officer in the court.

The chief is called the prime minister.

As for the Minister of Zhongshu, he is the second rank, the chief of the Zhongshu Province, and the deputy Zhongshu Ling, who helps Zhongshu Ling manage the affairs of the Zhongshu Province. He is a fixed prime minister of the Zhongshu Province and is still the deputy prime minister in this dynasty.

Li Zhan could be said to have reached the sky in one step and became a very important person in the court. Even the Grand Prime Minister Han Qi had to be courteous to him.

All civil and military officials in the court turned their attention to Li Zhan, who showed no signs of surprise or surprise. This young man suddenly became someone they needed to look up to.

Even though Prince Zhao Zongquan knew that the officials would treat Li Zhan favorably, he never expected that he would treat Li Zhan so favorably. Even if he ascended the throne as emperor in the future, he would have to rely more on Li Zhan and treat him with caution.

Li Zhan glanced at His Majesty who was full of encouragement, bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sheng Hong looked at Li Zhan in the front, beaming with joy, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed, and he was even trembling with excitement.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, the official family specially kept Li Zhan.

Funing Hall is the emperor's sleeping quarters. It is the main bedroom and is used as a sleeping palace and dining place. It is the inner court of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Generally, the emperor would get up from Funing Hall two hours before dawn, dress up, and prepare to handle state affairs.

In addition, the emperor would also receive urgent ministers here.

The official sat upright, leaning slightly against the back of the chair, his face was pale, and he could not hide his sick look. In front of the official stood the prince Zhao Zongquan, standing respectfully aside, looking at the official with a worried look from time to time, showing his filial piety.

and respectful.

The official looked weakly at Li Zhan, who was sitting at the bottom, coughed twice, and said to Zhao Zongquan next to him.

"I regard Ziqing as my nephew, who is full of ideas and can be called a pillar. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask Ziqing!"

Zhao Zongquan agreed respectfully. Seeing that Guan Jia was coughing, he quickly took two steps forward and gently tapped Guan Jia's back to calm his lungs.

The official grabbed Zhao Zongquan's hand, stopped his move, and continued.

"Although Ziqing was born in the imperial examination, he was particularly good at military affairs. He always asked me to transfer troops from outside to defend the enemy from outside. I was reluctant to let go of his talent and never let him go, making it difficult for him to fulfill his ambition. Later, the kings of Yong and Yan fought.

, he suffered a lot of grievances for me, and when King Yan was in rebellion, he protected me and the Queen Zhou Quan alone. You must not let him down in the future!"

Zhao Zongquan had tears in his eyes and nodded, looking like a loyal minister and filial son.

Li Zhan just kept silent. He actually understood that when Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne as emperor, he might rely on him, but he would never regard himself as a confidant. His confidants could only be Gu Tingye and the generals of Yuzhou, and at most they would be able to win over him.

The British treat themselves like princes.

However, Li Zhan didn't care at all. In the past dynasties, there were many battles between the prime minister's power and the imperial power, and they were full of games. Now that he is the prime minister, he is equivalent to the Taiwei among the three princes in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he does not need to go there anymore.

Currying favor with the new emperor was more about balancing political disputes.

Li Zhan thanked the officials, got to know the prince Zhao Zongquan, left the palace and returned to the mansion.

A few days later, the official family passed away, and his posthumous title was: Emperor Renzong, Titian, Dharma, Dao, Supreme Gong, Divine Wen, Saint Wu Ruizhe, Mingxiao.

The capital city went on strike and cried in the streets for several days. Even beggars and children burned paper money and cried in front of the palace. After the news of his death reached the Liao Kingdom in the north, Yelu Hongji, the Taoist sect of the Liao Kingdom, was also very sad. He faced

The envoy of the Song Dynasty cried bitterly: "I haven't seen war for forty-two years." Then he said to the envoy of the Song Dynasty: "I want to build a tomb for your emperor to express his grief." Daozong of the Liao Dynasty established a tomb for Renzong of the Song Dynasty.
