The first month of the lunar month marks the beginning of the first lunar month, which is originally a very festive day.
But the new year has just begun, and the officials have dismissed a prime minister, and the one who was dismissed was not the controversial Prime Minister Kou Zhun.
It was the Second Prime Minister Wang Qinruo.
Now that things have developed, even people with a dull sense of smell understand one thing.
Kou Zhun received strong support from the officials!
At the end of the first month, as two edicts were issued one after another, the opposition further confirmed this guess.
The first edict was to worship Wang Zeng, the political advisor, as prime minister.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shu was recalled and reinstated as a minister to pay homage to the magistrate.
As a result, the situation between North Korea and China has changed drastically.
Prime Minister Kou Zhun, Second Prime Minister Wang Zeng, Counselor for Political Affairs Ren Zhongzheng, and Wang Shu. Among the four crucial positions, only Ren Zhongzheng is one, and he is not considered a member of the Kou party.
Kou Zhun’s series dominates the third place!
Seeing this situation, many people don't understand that with the Kou party expanding to this extent, aren't the officials afraid of the Kou Zhun's ulterior motives?
After all, Kou Zhun has learned from past mistakes.
During the Tianxi period, Kou Zhun had the courage to depose the queen and welcome the prince. At that time, the power of Kou Zhun's family was not comparable to what it is now.
Aren’t the officials afraid of being ostracized by Kou Zhun?
However, Li Jie is not in the habit of explaining things to others, and the external disturbances have no effect on him at all.
He is not Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, nor is he the God of War of the Song Dynasty.
At the beginning, the strategy of balancing was just a temporary measure.
Now that he has achieved great success, he is not afraid of those little tricks in the audience.
Do you expect civil servants to rebel?
Nothing can be done in ten years.
As long as he firmly holds military power, Li Jie is not afraid of any challenge.
Besides, he himself had some knowledge of people. Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, Wang Shu and others would not rebel no matter what.
Compared with these, Li Jie is more concerned about the impact of Wang Qinruo's resignation.
Facts have proven that most of the impacts of Wang Qinruo's resignation have been positive.
Wang Qinruo's downfall severely shocked the opposition.
The opposition's methods may seem mindless, but this group of people often have a very keen sense of smell.
Once they saw the unprecedented strength of support, the smart people in the opposition began to think about retreating.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Not retreating?
You can't just end it in person, right?
Haven't you seen that the prime minister is being manipulated by the officials?
What was the reason why Wang Qinruo was dismissed as prime minister?
My son is corrupt!
Is this the first day Wang Congyi has done this kind of thing?
Obviously not.
But it happened that at this juncture, Wang Congyi's corruption was revealed.
If there is no deep meaning in it, who would believe it?
Dogs don’t believe it!
The removal of a current prime minister brought about a temporary lull in public opinion. The opposition quietly retreated into their shells, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to counterattack.
In other words, the confrontation in the court has temporarily subsided.
But outside the court, the tide of local public opinion was far from subdued.
In this era when imperial power did not go to the countryside, local powerful people were the group of people closest to the people at the bottom.
Although the Yinbu system has little to do with local powerful people, the relationship between local powerful people and the scholar-bureaucrats is not an either/or relationship.
These two groups are included in the relationship of being included.
Many groups of scholar-bureaucrats are often among the local wealthy families.
Although the local wealthy families do not dare to openly oppose it, it is not a problem to secretly create obstacles.

The capital is the center of power and has always been a place where storms gather.
It didn't take long for the major events that happened in the first month to spread to various places, especially to various government offices.
In just one week, Ding Wei, who was far away in Hangzhou, learned of the news that Wang Qinruo had been dismissed as prime minister.
After learning about this, Ding Wei called a group of subordinates to celebrate.
He was happier to see Wang Qinruo dismissed as prime minister than to see Kou Zhun dismissed as prime minister.
However, although Ding Wei was happy, he only celebrated once and devoted himself to political affairs the next day.
We can’t let that old guy Kou Zhun monopolize the limelight!
He also had to show his face in front of his colleagues in the capital, to be precise, in front of the officials.
At the end of last year, the Hangzhou shipping company case was officially concluded.
This case can be said to be the largest case since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The amount of money involved and the number of people involved in the case were so high that no one could match it for hundreds of years.
As the primary person in charge of supervising the case, Ding Wei also gained great credit for this.
Now, he can accept others calling him Xiangye calmly.
Because he was given the title of "envoy". Although the envoy is not a serious prime minister, he is still a prime minister in name!
The impact of the Shihai Division case goes far beyond that.
As soon as Ding Wei took office, he eliminated more than a dozen big families without hesitation. In this way, he severely shocked the local wealthy families.
Can a powerful dragon overwhelm a local snake?
That's because that dragon is not strong enough.
A real strong dragon doesn't care about those things hiding in the gutter.
And Ding Wei is undoubtedly a truly powerful dragon.
As soon as the results of the Shibo Division case came out, the forces that had restrained Ding Wei retreated one after another.
VIP?
Give!
Charter a boat?
Hurry up and rent!
Route map?
I handed it over with both hands, fearing that it would be too late to keep it warm.
With the "strong support" from the local wealthy family, the matter of going to sea was quickly put on the agenda.
February 2nd.
Ding said that he had received the imperial edict, and after full discussion between the two ministers, they agreed in principle to the plan to go to sea in June.
Moreover, this matter also received official approval.
Of course, before officially going to sea, the government will send important officials to Hangzhou to personally verify the preparations before going to sea.
In the same month, Li Deming's two sons also arrived in the capital as scheduled, and at the same time they arrived with a team of envoys.
On the one hand, the envoy team escorted the two young masters, and on the other hand, they also brought credentials to accept the land and declare themselves as vassals.
The content of the credentials has already been decided, and arriving in Beijing this time is just to make up for the process.
Although the envoys of the Li family of Xiazhou arrived in Bianliang, the Lu Yijian bamboo slips in the far northwest were not idle either.
During this time, he had many official duties.
The first task is to patrol the border.
Although the Xiazhou Li family expressed their surrender, they also began to prepare to retreat.
But Xiazhou Dangxiang was capricious, not once or twice. Even if Li Deming sent his two sons to the capital, Lu Yijian did not dare to take it lightly.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, according to reports from the Malay Telegraph, Dangxiang's army has withdrawn from Tiandu Stronghold. Today, there are only 500 defenders left in Tiandu Stronghold."
After hearing the military report coming from the front, Lu Yijian stood up and walked to the map.
"Can we detect the movement of the enemy's main force?"
"The enemy's main force is retreating to the northeast."
northeast?
Lu Yijian glanced at the map. Xiao Pass was located in the northeast of Tiandu Village, although Xiao Pass was the only way for the party members to retreat.
But we still have to be wary of the Xiazhou party members making noises in the east and west.
"Is Xiao Guan ready to resist the invasion of the army?"
"Return to the prime minister."
"General Yang Wenguang of Xiaoguan reported that he has made all preparations to meet the enemy!"
