The so-called capital province essentially refers to the province of ministers.
Since the emergence of the three provinces and six ministries system, Shangshu Province has been the well-deserved boss.
Here in Dazang, the ministerial affairs department is divided between the left and right servants, who are in charge of assisting the emperor in discussing major affairs, and what they do is the prime minister's affairs. The two servants are naturally the ministers of both provinces.
In addition to the Privy Council, the highest military institution, the Privy Council, and the Deputy Privy Council.
These people can all be called ministers, and they can also be called ministers in the true sense.
For example, although those who participate in political affairs are also called "Xianggong", they are always inferior to the ones above.
The seat of the Shangshu Province is also called the Yizheng Hall, which is considered a holy temple that the scholar-bureaucrats here yearn for.
Anyone who can work here must at least be a political advisor, which is the so-called senior advisor.
When Qin Hui walked into the political hall, he paused.
Looking around this small courtyard, Qin Huizhi took a deep breath, "One day, I will sit here too!"
The atmosphere in the political hall was very strange, and many of the ministers were staring at each other.
When Qin Hui came in, he saw Cai Jing, who rarely came here due to health reasons.
The former powerful prime minister was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. Although he did not say a word, his demeanor and power did not drop at all.
The prime minister of twenty years has never been angry and proud!
"I have met all the ministers." Qin Hui, who was secretly envious, stepped forward to salute the ministers and ministers.
The reason why so many people gathered here today is because there was a big battle during the court meeting.
Zhao Huan successfully mobilized public opinion and kicked out Zhao Ji's Tong Guan.
Among them, the one who performed most brilliantly was Qin Hui.
When all the ministers saw him, they all had different expressions.
You must know that Tong Guan is the godfather of his wife Qin Hui. This boy is really cruel.
At this time, the boss of the province was Zuo Cheng, the minister, and Geng Nanzhong, the minister.
Even last year, he, Geng Nanzhong, was just the prince Zhan Shi, a lowly official who could not even see the gate of the political hall.
But as Zhao Huan ascended the throne, Geng Nanzhong also ascended to heaven, and became the Prime Minister of the province as the emperor's master.
His abilities were mediocre, and he was almost out of breath after being suppressed in the struggle with Cai Jing and others.
After all, I was just a teacher before, so how could I compete with someone like Cai Jing?
"Here comes the meeting." Seeing Qin Hui coming, Geng Nanzhong, who had been suppressed by Cai Jing's aura before, smiled and said, "Sit down and have tea."
Under the gazes of all the ministers with different expressions, Qin Hui saluted respectfully, "I don't dare, I have been ordered to convey the decree."
Upon hearing the decree, the princes immediately sat upright, and even Cai Jing opened his eyes.
Qin Hui had blatantly surrendered to Zhao Huan, so the decree he brought could only come from that official.
After he finished reading Zhao Huan's imperial edict and handed it over to Geng Nanzhong, there was an uproar in the political hall.
Wang Fu immediately yelled, "This is a random fate! We can't stand it!"
Wu Min, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, immediately retorted, "The officials have their orders, and we obey them. There is no need for you to yell and scream here."
Wang Fu was furious, "This is to give the prince military power. This is the most taboo thing in the country. Of course it will lead to chaos in life!"
Geng Nanzhong and others are also dissatisfied. After all, giving the prince military power is the way to cause chaos. The country has become such a mess. What the hell are the officials doing?
But this is the case in the court now. As long as the other party objects to something, they must support it.
There is no talk of taboos, logic, or ancestral laws, let alone right or wrong.
Just say you and me, I will oppose what you agree with, and I will approve of what you oppose!
Even though they were dissatisfied, Geng Nanzhong and other members of Zhao Huan's party supported this matter at this time.
Wang Fu, Cai You and others argued vigorously and eloquently, but they almost described Li Yunze as if he would start a rebellion tomorrow.
Qin Hui, who had been watching with cold eyes, didn't care at all about the fight between these minions. Instead, he quietly watched Cai Jing.
In his opinion, everyone in front of him is a rat, and only Cai Jing can be regarded as his opponent.
After another long and useless quarrel, everyone, whose voices were almost hoarse, finally calmed down for a rare moment and began to drink tea.
At this time, Zhao Ji's followers all looked at Cai Jing, who was silent.
It's time for the boss to step up.
‘Cough cough~~~’ Cai Jing coughed, making Geng Nanzhong and others instantly nervous.
After all, the gap in rank is too big.
However, to everyone's surprise, Cai Jing actually said, "Let's handle this matter according to the official's wishes."
The political hall suddenly fell silent.
No one expected that Cai Jing would say such words at this time. Could it be that he wanted to jump off the ship?
Only Qin Hui suddenly woke up after frowning at the beginning.
"Dad." Cai You couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him, "How can a prince lead an army in the country?"
"Kang Kang is brave and courageous." Cai Jing coughed a few times and slowly stood up. "Even the Jin people admired him when he heard that he joined the Jin camp as an envoy. Why can't such a prince with both talents and virtues share the worries of the official family?
No need to say anything more, just follow me to see the Supreme Emperor."
When Cai You and others left with unwilling expressions, Geng Nanzhong and others had not yet realized what they were doing.
In the end, he could only nod his head in a dignified manner, "Then just sign and seal it."
Qin Hui, who was watching with cold eyes, sneered in his heart, this kind of useless snack can be compared to the Xianggong of Chengdu Province, not even one of my toes.
Because the father and son had such a bad relationship that each other could fall to death while walking, Zhao Ji did not live in the palace at all, but in Gen Yue.
In order to build Genyue, Cai Mo Fang La was directly forced to rebel, and almost half of the country in Jiangnan was destroyed.
Genyue, which was definitely built with the help of the people and the people, can be regarded as a masterpiece in gardening and mountain building. It can be said that it "encompasses the beauty of the world and hides the beauty of the past and the present".
This garden built on the basis of the Huashi Gang looks east to west, continuous from front to back, with mountains on the left and water on the right, and streams on the back and ridges beside it. It is continuous and full, swallowing the mountains and embracing the valleys.
Nuoda's garden is planted with exotic flowers and trees, rare birds and animals are raised, and the flying towers are spectacular. In terms of scenery and enjoyment, it is absolutely luxurious.
Zhao Ji lived in Jiangxiao Tower. When Cai Jing and others came over, he was breathing heavily in his golden silk robe, sitting on a futon stuffed with agate and practicing Taoism.
There’s not much to say, it’s just a traditional project of ancient emperors seeking longevity.
"Meet the official~~~" Cai Jing led everyone to salute Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji, who had extremely beautiful eyebrows and an air of immortality, didn't say anything and just sat on the futon like a statue.
Cai Jing and others were unable to speak, so they could only wait silently.
After burning the incense, Zhao Ji finally slowly opened his eyes, "Do you still have the nerve to come here?"
Tong Guan's demotion was a major failure for Zhao Ji, and he naturally wanted to vent his anger on these confidants.
"Official family."
At this time, it was Cai Jing who could only take the lead. "In the case of the Prince of Guangyang, it was because of one of our mistakes that we instigated the imperial students first and set off a wave of public opinion."
Cai Jing only talked about the appearance. In fact, it was because Zhao Ji and his followers had a bad reputation in the streets. They were the kind of people who wanted to beat them up, and they had no confidence.
"snort."
Zhao Ji, who can be said to have pushed the imperial power of the Northern Song Dynasty to its peak, besides painting, the most capable thing he did was fight for power.
He knew the reasons both overt and covert, but he just needed someone to take the blame.
Now that Cai Jing and the others have taken the blame, then this matter is in the past, and the next step is to find a way to fight back.
"You came to disturb my Qingxiu just for this reason?" Zhao Ji was also a little confused.
All the confidants came over, and even Cai Jing, who didn't move much, came too. It was obvious that there was something else going on.
"Official family."
Before Cai Jing could speak, Cai You, who had long been unable to hold himself back, hurriedly recounted what had happened in the Political Hall.
After finishing speaking, he also expressed angrily, "The prince is in charge of the army, and there is no such thing in the country except Taizong! This is a recipe for disaster!"
Over there, Zhao Ji said coldly, "Whose way of causing trouble?"
Cai You was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
Zhao Ji motioned to the eunuch, "Give Cai Qing a futon."
Cai You subconsciously wanted to say thank you, but suddenly realized that he was here, how could it be his turn.
When Cai Jing sat down on the futon, Zhao Ji sneered again and again, "That traitor is seeking death on his own, why should I stop him?"
As soon as this was said, Wang Fu and the others understood it.
"That's right." Cai You clapped his hands vigorously, "If something happens, he will be unlucky too."
Zhao Ji was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who relied solely on blood connections and had no real ability. He looked directly at Cai Jing, "Cai Qing, I heard that Lao Jiu often gives advice to that traitor?"
"Yes." Cai Jing nodded and said, "Veteran ministers have heard it many times. Officials often say that King Kang is their Zhuge. This matter about the imperial student may also be the work of King Kang."
"It must be so!"
Zhao Ji frowned and twirled his beard, "That traitor has always been submissive and mediocre. How could he have thought of such a subtle means of taking advantage of the situation? I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. I have been wrong in the past, Lao Jiu."
Cai You, who was eager to express himself, couldn't help but said again, "Guan family, why not take action first to suppress this right-hand man of Guan family?"
Zhao Ji glanced at him, his eyes full of sarcasm.
As for Cai Jing, he lightly scolded, "Shut up."
Cai You was not angry, but he did not dare to refute.
Wang Fu, who was still his ally in the past and who together ousted his father, Cai Jing, couldn't stand it. He quietly explained in his ear, "Now is a good opportunity to drive a wedge between their brothers. If we take action, wouldn't we be helping that person?"
busy?"
Only then did Cai You suddenly realize.
Considering his ability to unite with outsiders to drive him out of office, it is not surprising that he was the last one to realize it.
Pure good-for-nothing son of a bitch.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ji quickly made a decision: "Master Li."
Li Yan, who was ranked among the Six Thieves in the Provincial Department of Internal Affairs, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Official."
"Write an imperial edict and send it to Lao Jiu, saying that I fully agree with him in taking charge of the Shengjie Army. Write more vaguely that I am optimistic about him, and he has the potential to be a king."
"Yes." Li Yan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly accepted the order.
"Also." Zhao Ji thought with some pain, "Take out 200,000 yuan and give it to Lao Jiu!"
