Ye An's plan to reform the Xiang army was supported by most of the courtiers, but Zhongshu Province never used the imperial seal to issue decrees. The imperial decrees of the Song Dynasty were the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. They had to be stamped with the official seal of the prime minister to be considered a real imperial decree. Otherwise, they were just
Zhao Zhen's central purpose.
The Central Edict is also an imperial edict, but it is much inferior in comparison, especially regarding the reform of the Jianghuai Xiang Army.
What's more, not only did the Zhongshu Ministry of Education fail to stamp it, it even withheld the imperial edict.
Isn't Zhang Shixun worried that Zhao Zhen will pursue this matter? Worried, but this rarely happens.
Compared with the complicated state affairs and vast official documents of the Song Dynasty, Ye An's reform of the Xiang Army in Jianghuai Prefecture was ultimately due to the fact that he had no troops at his disposal and could not wipe out the Bailian Society in Jianghuai. Therefore, the focus was not on the reform of the Xiang Army, but on the reform of the Xiang Army.
Is there any white lotus monster causing trouble in the Jianghuai state capitals?
As long as no news reaches the court, no one will care whether Ye An's reform of the Xiang Army is successful or not, let alone whether the document is still lying in the Wenjuan Pavilion of Zhongshu Province...
But Zhang Shixun thought carefully, but he forgot that he had been targeted for a long time. He thought he was a hunter, but in fact he was also a prey.
In the complicated officialdom, no one is always the winner, let alone the people in the Song Dynasty who were replaced faster than the Qinghuan in the hook column!
On this day, Zhang Shixun was drinking in the garden with Yang Chongxun, the deputy envoy to the privy council. Unexpectedly, he drank too much and forgot that he was leading the officials to stand on duty today. Generally speaking, the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty did not have to stand on duty in person, but every time at the beginning of the month
But he must lead hundreds of officials to stand in class to show respect for the officials.
Rules are rules, and even the prime minister cannot make exceptions. As a deputy privy envoy, Yang Chongxun did not have to go to the Zichen Palace to stand on duty. As a result, neither of them realized the seriousness of the matter.
Originally, even if Zhang Shixun forgot, he would not miss it. After all, the servants around him would remind him. But what a coincidence, his servants were greedy for the benefits given by others, and the elected official asked him to tell Zhang Shixun what he wanted to do.
, he got drunk in a restaurant, so Zhang Shixun perfectly missed his shift at the beginning of the month.
The chamberlains in the palace and the officials in Zhongshu went crazy looking for him but couldn't find him. Everyone thought he might be in the palace, but in fact he was always outside the palace.
Afterwards, Zhang Shixun was shocked when he learned the whole story, but he gradually calmed down and planned to send someone to the palace to cover up the matter on the pretext of being ill.
But who would have expected that the censor, Fan Xi, wrote down the whole story in the memorial and impeached him.
The matter is not a big deal, but after being exposed, it is considered a complete loss of face. Not only that, it also makes Zhao Zhen very dissatisfied. Even if it is a face-saving project, as the father-in-law of the dynasty, you should set an example!
For a time, there was an endless stream of memorials to impeach Zhang Shixun, and some even singled out his weaknesses for "attack" and criticized his incompetence in his position. Although this was true, it ultimately prevented Zhang Shixun from coming to power.
"Shixun is the prime minister and has nothing to offer. He should abdicate in favor of talents and select capable ministers to assist the government!" The impeachment memorial was written very directly. Even Zhao Zhen felt it was too much after reading it. This is true, but Zhang Shixun was at least
He is also the husband-in-law of the Song Dynasty, and he should be given the dignity he deserves.
The most important thing is that Zhang Shixun played a very important transitional role after Zhao Zhen took office. During this period, Lu Yijian went abroad, Zhang Qi went abroad, Xia Song went abroad, Chen Yaozuo went abroad, and Fan Yong was also demoted.
What is the purpose of reshuffling the cards above?
Naturally, in order to regain control of the power of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen knew that he could not do without the courtiers, but the rights had to be decided by himself. Thunder, rain and dew were all the king's favor. Even if the rights were to be divided, Zhao Zhen had to distribute them himself.
This is a very clever method, but it is also not very clever. Even Ye An can see that Zhao Zhen's move is clumsy, let alone the courtiers in the court.
Just like when the boss of a company changes in later generations, the original senior management will inevitably be replaced. Even if they cannot be separated, these people need to be beaten before reuse.
But there are many ways to use both kindness and power, and Zhao Zhen undoubtedly chose the least clever one.
In contrast, Lu Yijian's method was much more clever. He used Fan Xi, the imperial censor, to impeach Zhang Shixun's behavior, which was just right and a fatal blow.

In Xinlingfang, the mansion of the Marquis of Yunzhong County, a fat little girl was chasing and playing with a smaller girl. Two picturesque beauties were sitting next to them, looking at them with doting looks on their faces.
Only the boy in the arms of the woman wearing Fengchai looked dissatisfied, and after a long time of brewing, he let out a series of farts...
"Sister, I went to Shiweitian yesterday to check the accounts. I overheard that the court was not peaceful. Mr. Zhang was impeached by Fan Yushi. I'm afraid he will go down. Now it's better. No one will stop the Marquis anymore."
Er spoke while teasing Ye Lin.
Qin Mumu smiled slightly and said: "The husband-in-law of the country is always diligent. Let alone the husband, how many officials in the Beijing Dynasty go out to other states to take office every two days? Ye Lang is busy in the south, is there any?
Everyone's obstacles are the same. It's just that our family doesn't want to get involved. You also don't want to see Wang Yingniang and Li Duanyi again. Our family is not from the same family as the Wang family. The relationship with the Li family is also due to the relationship between the Marquis and the consort.
It’s just a relationship..."
To some extent, the marriage between the Wang family and the Li family is the best choice. After all, the Wang family is a family of civil servants. Sooner or later, Wang Zeng will still hold an official position in the court. As for the Li family, a relative who wants to be in the court
To gain a firm foothold and have a place of its own, marrying into the Wang family is the best choice.
Ye An had a good relationship with the Wang family and the Li family, so they naturally had some contacts. As the eldest lady of the Hou family, Qin Mumu couldn't refuse others, so those people approached Xuan'er, the second lady.
Of course Qin Mumu knew what happened in the court. Some time ago, she took Ye Ling to the palace to play. After learning that Zhang Shixun was making things difficult for Ye An, she never left the house.
Now Ye An seems to have nothing to do with the disputes between Jianghuai and the court, but in fact it is inevitable that he will be involved in the limelight, or be used as a pawn that can be exploited.
Although Qin Mumu hasn't gone out recently, she has received a lot of news. Puhui Store and Lan Kwai Fong both have a special information collection department, which Ye An had secretly prepared when he started running the store.
In the past, I had been collecting all kinds of gossip in the city of Tokyo, mostly using servants and stewards as a breakthrough. But now it is different. The clerks of Puhui Company can even collect information directly from officials. Their every word, deed, and move will be recorded.
Xiaosi recorded the incident and sent it to a specialized news analysis department for analysis.
Both Puhui Company and Lan Kwai Fong are secretly collecting information. To be honest, this is not the first time that Puhui Company was involved, but Puhui Company has unique conditions. It is pervasive in all walks of life and blooms all over the city of Tokyo.
Xuan'er nodded in agreement. After following Qin Mumu for many years, she was accustomed to obeying the arrangements of the lady in charge. As long as Ye An was away, she would only follow Qin Mumu's orders.
