It was still dark.

The bell, which had not been ringed for two days, rang throughout Bianjing.

Although he slept late, Zhao Guangyi jumped up from the bed when he heard the bell, and even startled his concubine.

Zhao Guangyi didn't explain anything, and excitedly changed into court clothes and entered the palace to participate in the morning court, he said in his heart that the young man was in a hurry, he just promised to hand over some of the powers of the Privy Council yesterday, and his eldest nephew couldn't help it, haha, in this way, the kid surnamed Wang will definitely have a gap with Zhao Defang.

He even saw the situation in the future where Wang Chen and Zhao Defang would compete with each other, and he Zhao Guangyi would benefit from the fisherman.

I waited in the east room for nearly half an hour.

Zhao Guangyi led a few people from his faction to talk and laugh and walked towards the Vertical Arch Hall.

As soon as he entered the room, he found Wang Chen standing there calmly, and Zhao Guangyi smiled and nodded in greeting, as if the treacherous plan had succeeded.

After waiting for about half a while, Zhao Defang walked out with a tired face and kept yawning.

The people of Honglu Temple presided over the ceremony, and then the early dynasty officially began.

Zhao Pu, who was restored to the position of prime minister, stood up and said several important things, and Wang Chen, who was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, also told the latest news about Cao Bin's recent war in the north.

It's just that Zhao Defang seemed absent-minded, or rather, kept dozing off.

Zhao Guangyi thought that the emperor got up too early, so he didn't think much about it.

Important matters have been talked about almost completely, and Zhao Defang, who had played a game all night, was sleepy, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to do with Zhuqing?" ”

Many people can see that the emperor is really tired, and some trivial things are not ready to be said, after all, the new emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and he can't hit the muzzle.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't think so, he felt that this was a signal from Zhao Defang to himself, so he hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Zhao Defang's head was very confused, but the other party was his imperial uncle, so he couldn't help but give face, so he cheered up and said, "King Jin, please speak." ”

The old god Wang Chen next to him was at ease, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at it, feeling quite proud in his heart, thinking that Wang Chen didn't know what would happen next, and even he was ready to see Wang Chen's stunned and surprised expression, "Cao Xiang led his troops to attack Taiyuan, the Privy Council is short of manpower, and there are two or three vacancies in the twelve rooms, and Wang Xian, the Privy Council, is old, and has the idea of returning to his hometown, and hopes that His Majesty will send new people to the Privy Council to assist the palace marshal in presiding over the daily life." ”

At this time, a forty-five or sixteen-year-old thin man walked out of the crowd, he is the current Privy Council member Wang Xian, in fact, this age is not old at all, and it has not reached the point of returning to his hometown, but in order to cooperate with Zhao Guangyi's plan, he took the initiative to say: "The minister is getting older, and the position of the Privy Council is weak, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve me to return to my hometown." ”

"Huh?"

"The royal court actually wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown?"

The ministers of the DPRK and China were in an uproar.

Some people saw it more clearly, knowing that Zhao Guangyi was competing with Wang Chen, so they simply didn't say a word.

Before Wang Chen could speak, Zhao Pu, who was a friendly soldier, was anxious, and he could also understand what Zhao Guangyi had in mind, and argued: "The royal court is not yet fifty, how can you say that you are old?"

Wang Xian pretended to be sick, "I am weak and sick, and Shangyao Feng Wang Huaiyin can testify." ”

Wang Huaiyin stood up and said: "Yes, Wang Yuan's affairs have become ill and need to be carefully regulated, so it is indeed not suitable to continue to serve as an important task." ”

This Shang Yao Fengyu has just taken office, but many people in the court know that Wang Huaiyin is Zhao Guangyi's person.

It's just that the reason is sufficient, and Zhao Pu can't think of any reason to refute it for a while.

Everyone looked at Wang Chen, wanting to see how he fought back.

But what surprised everyone was that Wang Chen didn't move at all, and the old god was still standing there comfortably.

Zhao Guangyi had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything to do, so he had to force it down, ready to continue the plan, and turned his head sideways to the other two privy councillors.

Cao Si from the errand room stood up and said: "The minister is also unwell, and I hope Your Majesty can approve the cultivation for a year and a half." ”

The errand room is the place responsible for the money of the entire Privy Council, and I have to say that Zhao Guangyi has made a lot of money.

That's not all, Cao Si of the military registration room also said: "The old mother of the minister's family is very old, and I am afraid that she will die soon, I want to accompany her to have a happy family." ”

Wang Chen still didn't react.

Zhao Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the plan had succeeded.

Not only Zhao Guangyi, but even Zhao Pu, Song Wu and others were secretly anxious, and they all wondered if Wang Chen had admitted defeat.

It was nothing here.

However, at this moment, another heavyweight of the Privy Council stepped forward - another Privy Councillor, Chai Yuxi, also stood up.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Privy Council is generally divided into two, even the Privy Council has a military and civil service, naturally, the same is true of the Privy Council, when Zhao Kuangyin was still alive, the military Privy Envoy sealed Cao Bin, the civil service was held by Zhao Pu at the beginning, and then Zhao Pu became the prime minister has not been arranged, so Cao Bin is the largest official in the Privy Council.

The same is true for the privy deputy envoy, divided into civilian and military positions, Wang Chen was replaced by Chu Zhaofu after his death, and served as the privy deputy envoy of the military position, and before that Shen Yilun served as the civilian privy deputy envoy, and later Shen Yilun returned to his hometown, Zhao Guangyi tried his best to let his henchman Chai Yuxi compete for this position, and now in order to provoke the relationship between Wang Chen and Zhao Defang, he is actually willing to let it out, it is conceivable how ruthless Zhao Guangyi is.

You must know that Chai Yuxi is only thirty-four or five years old now, just when he is young and strong.

Everyone was stunned, and said in their hearts, what are you doing here? Besides, you have no reason, you are young, and the old parents at home are not very old.

Hey, don't say it, Chai Yuxi really found a reason, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am an important minister of the imperial court, and now Cao Xiang is fighting a decisive battle in Taiyuan in the north, although his subordinates are civilians, but they still want to serve the imperial court, and they must have sent me to assist Cao Xiang in attacking Taiyuan, even if I resign as a small pawn, as long as I can go to the battlefield to make contributions to the imperial court, the minister will not regret it!"

Good high-sounding reasons!

Ordinary people are absolutely moved to hear it!

It's just that everyone understands that the emperor will not do this, and the resignation of these privy council bigwigs is also part of Zhao Guangyi's plan, and they have no emotions.

Zhao Defang was very sleepy, his mind was full of the game plot of "Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" The mysterious general beheaded Yan Liang, and he didn't know how to play it later, after all, the mysterious general was not joking, he said casually: "It's all right." ”

Zhao Guangyi's heart was full of joy, he felt that it was done, and he almost laughed out loud!

Zhao Pu, Song Wu and the others couldn't see Wang Chen's actions for a long time, and they all sighed softly in disappointment.

The eyes of the other neutrals also changed when they looked at Zhao Guangyi, they knew that this time Zhao Guangyi looked at the strong man on the surface and broke his wrist, but in fact he stabilized Wang Chen's head, and they who originally wanted to fall to Wang Chen hesitated again at this time.

Wang Chen still didn't speak.

Zhao Guangyi was victorious, and pretended to say: "As for who to transfer to these positions, it is all arranged by Your Majesty." ”

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Defang should mention a few names, and then choose them for the ministers, and finally confirm that the proposed names are his people anyway.

Many of the people present thought the same way.

It's just that no one expected Zhao Defang to say amazingly: "Wang Dianshuai is in charge of the manpower arrangement, after all, he is now presiding over the Privy Council!"

Yes?

Manpower arrangement Wang Chen is responsible?

Zhao Guangyi was completely dumbfounded!

The ministers present were also stunned one by one!

Especially the few who took the initiative to resign, such as the Privy Deputy Chai Yuxi, for example, the Privy Council member Wang Huaiyin, and the two Cao Si, at this moment they were all sitting on wax, and they felt that Wang Chen's way!

Zhao Guangyi doubted whether he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are not wrong, are you?

Zhao Defang said as a matter of course: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes darkened, and he said in his heart that your mother can't help Adou, why did you give up such a good opportunity for labor and management?

Wang Chen, who had been silent before, smiled slightly, glanced at Zhao Guangyi, and said in his heart, how do you know, yesterday I acted in front of Zhao Defang and acted better than you, besides, Zhao Defang was addicted to games and didn't sleep all night, how could he have the heart to think about anything else, I'm afraid I want to end it early now and go to bed early, so the work arrangement of the Privy Council is naturally handed over to Zhao Defang's most trusted person, for example, the loyalty shown yesterday seems to be the minister and emperor Wang Chen who is dedicated to Zhao Defang.

It can be said that Zhao Guangyi stole chickens this time and made it impossible to lose rice!

Wang Chen's smile gradually became brighter, and Zhao Guangyi's face on the side had turned blue!
