The next few days.

The whole of Bianjing is in mourning.

Every household has hung a white stripe, and people in Beijing have to wear mourning clothes, and they have to send people to convey this matter to the small countries that they have befriended around them, what old emperor has died, when will the new emperor ascend the throne, you must send people to attend the ceremony, and so on.

Of course, the busiest of them is to cry for Zhao Kuangyin.

A group of ministers, harems, and the like all gathered in front of the coffin and cried.

Even Wang Chen was no exception, there was no way, he didn't control all the situation for the time being, so he had to shed a few crocodile tears in front of Zhao Kuangyinling.

Mourning is not a matter of one or two days.

Like the words of the Song Dynasty, it is recorded in history that all the emperors died on the day or within three days, the big funeral costumes, the small Daxiang, the expulsion, the Shuowang, the crying, the Qiqi Palace, and the Qidian, the ministers will come and enter the name to consol. Beginning on the 27th or 37th day from the day of his death, every 7th day the retainers are to enter and end on the 49th.

However, Zhao Kuangyin's widow took the initiative to ask for 27 days, which could save a lot of trouble.

Of course, the major affairs of the court still have to be dealt with, and it is impossible to cry and mourn every day.

On this day, the eastern suburbs.

Zhao Kuangyin's coffin has been transported to the Zhao family's temple.

The mound is announced, the ceremony is completed, and the captain is sent to set up a golden chair in front of the suburban altar to the east and south, and set up a crown dress in front of the golden chair.

Wang Chen, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shen Yilun, Zhao Guangyi and others led the ministers and hundreds of officials to run from their seats and said: "The memorial ceremony is completed, please take the emperor's throne." ”

A group of ministers supported Zhao Defang to sit on the golden chair.

Subsequently, the civil and military officials were arranged according to the court, and the deacons raised the crown and the treasure case to the front.

Honglu Temple sang in praise: "Arrange shifts!"

Wang Chen, like everyone, arranged shifts and bowed with everyone.

At this moment, the sound of music sounded.

The ministers bowed three times, flattened, and stopped, and then bowed three times, flattened, and happy.

Tongzan led Xue Juzheng to the emperor's throne, and Tongzan sang: "Kneel, wat and wat".

Xue Juzheng was holding the wat, and all the officials knelt when they sang it.

The treasure official opened the box and took the jade seal to Xue Juzheng, and Xue Juzheng held the treasure and said: "The emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure." ”

Zhao Defang said without saying a word: "It's hard work." "Take the jade seal.

Tongzan Guan sang: "Be in place, worship, and be flat." ”

Hundreds of officials worship and level down according to the guidance of Tongzan.

Tong Zanguan sang again: "Reset." ”

The usher in Xue Juzheng returned to his original position from the west.

Then the Tongzan official sang a lot, what bowing, worshipping, flattening, wat, bowing, three dances, and so on.

Wang Chen followed behind the hundred officials and did the steps sung by the Tongzan officials.

After doing it, there are still some steps, such as the Tai Temple, offering the treasure, chasing the four generations of exams, concubines, saying etiquette to the society, and congratulating the hundred officials.

Finally, the official was appointed as the queen.

At this point, the emperor's ascension ceremony was completed.

However, the matter is not over yet, Wang Chen still has to settle accounts with some people, such as Lu Duoxun, Wang You and others who refused to support Zhao Defang to ascend the throne together.

Of course, it can't be today, but tomorrow morning.

These people can't clean up today, it doesn't mean that Wang Chen can't clean up the others, for example, the commander of the front division of the palace, and the two deputy commanders of the guards and pro-army, now, these people are under his command, and it's not up to him to decide how to clean up?

……

Midday.

The sun is shining.

Back in Wang Jien's house, today the family is reunited, the family is here, Wang Chen has not come back for a long time, he appeared, Liu Qihong, Yun'er, Wang Yuncang and others are very busy, especially Liu Qihong, who is four or five months pregnant, and has to make soup cakes for Wang Chen to eat in person.

What are Soup Cakes?

To put it simply, it is a dumpling without filling.

In the kitchen, Wang Chen took a look, "No stuffing?"

Wang Yuncang looked over with a smile, "Brother Chen, where did the soup cake come from?"

"Hey, I'm going to teach you how to make a new soup cake today. Wang Chen was in high spirits, rolled up his sleeves, and ordered: "That little water essence and minced beef." ”

Wang Yuncang immediately went and asked his subordinates to get baby cabbage and minced beef.

I have to mention here that in Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, there is no Chinese cabbage, only small Chinese cabbage, the cabbage varieties bred in the Song Dynasty are different from modern society, the leaves are very thin, there is no wrapping, crystal clear, like the crystal stone in the mine, so it is called "water essence vegetable".

The materials are well prepared.

Wang Chen was just about to get started.

Liu Qihong held his hand with a big belly, and smiled gently, "Official, this kind of work is here for our women's family, you are waiting to eat." ”

Wang Chen smiled, "I'm afraid you won't get it." ”

"Hey, Brother Chen, what are we not going to do with the soup cakes? I just don't know what you're going to do with these water vegetables and minced beef. Wang Yuncang said with a puzzled expression.

Wang Chen laughed, "Just say you don't understand, this one I made is called dumplings." He explained it in detail.

Although the prototype of dumplings was invented by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, the real dumplings were born in the Song Dynasty.

After hearing this, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Tangpan to be able to do this.

The family here is happily learning to make dumplings with Wang Chen.

Suddenly, Wang Jien ran in from outside, he saw Wang Chen making dumplings, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Chen, my good brother Chen, why are you still doing this kind of rough work? And your daughter-in-law, you too, you have been pregnant for several months, why did you come to the East Kitchen? Quickly, go back and rest, my Wang family will have a future It's all up to you." ”

"Ah Weng, I have to worry about it, I'm fine, I haven't seen the official come back for a long time, I see it today, I am happy, and I want to make something for him to eat. Liu Qihong saluted and said with a smile: "The officials are teaching us rare things." ”

Wang Jien was curious: "What rare thing?"

Wang Chen took over the conversation and explained the dumplings.

After hearing this, Wang Jien was also amazed, but he still said: "No matter how magical it is, you can't cook it yourself, these are all the work of the subordinates, you are now a dragon hero, it's different!"

Recently, everyone has been busy with Zhao Kuangyin's death and Zhao Defang's accession to the throne, and Zhao Defang has just completed the enthronement ceremony today, and he hasn't had time to call on the world, Liu Qihong, Wang Yuncang and others naturally don't know the slightest situation.

Hearing this, Yun'er was taken aback and said, "Ahh

Wang Yuncang was also overjoyed and said: "Haha, Brother Chen followed the right person, this time we are developed, completely developed." ”

With the right person?

People who don't know may think so, including some ministers in the court who don't know the dangerous situation that night, but as long as people who have experienced the war on the night of the battle for the throne, they all understand that to be precise, it should be the new emperor with the right person, if there is no Wang Chen, Zhao Defang wants to be the emperor?

Don't even dream about it!

Wang Chen smiled but did not speak.

Wang Jien was also inconvenient to talk about these things, he also shook his head with a smile and said: "There are some things that I can't say directly, but I can tell you that the new emperor has made great contributions to the throne, but it is not as simple as the right person." ”

Yun'er looked at Wang Chen with adoring eyes, "I know, it must be Ah Lang who has shown his might again." ”

Liu Qi's red eyes also revealed joy, and she didn't say anything, but anyone could see pride from her expression.

Wang Yuncang couldn't wait to ask: "Then did the emperor make Brother Chen'er a big official? ”

Yun'er chirped: "Yes, yes, what kind of official did the emperor crown Ah Lang?

Wang Chen smiled and said: "How can it be the prime minister, okay, don't ask too much about your little girl, hurry up and make dumplings to eat." ”

Yun'er let out an "oh" with some disappointment, and said, "It's not the prime minister, the emperor is stingy enough." ”

"Yun'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Qihong reprimanded, "Is the emperor also something we can discuss casually?"

Yun'er quickly stuck out her tongue and didn't speak again.

However, Wang Jien was in a good mood and answered, "Although I am not the prime minister, I don't want to go far." ”

While he was talking here, the old housekeeper outside came to shout, saying that the palace had issued a holy decree and asked Wang Chen and Wang Jien to receive the decree.

Wang Chen hummed and walked out.

Wang Jien followed from behind, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Zhang has been detained." ”

Before he wanted to use Gonggong Zhang, Wang Chen didn't start immediately, but now that he has used it up, the other party is a spy of the Liao State, of course he has to take it, he said: "Who is in charge of the Wudesi side now?"

Wang Jien laughed hesitantly, "I was a martial envoy before, and now that Gonggong Zhang has been taken down, of course Your Majesty arranged for me to go." ”

Wang Chen said: "He has no one else to arrange." ”

"The whole palace is now our people. Wang Jien said meaningfully, "Brother Chen, if you have the heart to covet it, the world will have it at your fingertips." ”

The throne is at your fingertips.

But the world is not, and now that he is usurping the throne at this juncture, I am afraid that it will cause the world to rise up and attack him.

Wang Chen is not so stupid, besides, he doesn't want to be an emperor, once he becomes an emperor, he has to be locked up in the palace all day long, what is the difference between being in prison and going to prison, if you want to go out of the palace, you have to go through the permission of the ministers.

Soon the two came outside.

The content of the holy decree is as expected, one is for Wang Chen, so that he can go to the front of the palace and the guard and the military department today, although it has been explained in the previous edict, but the official appointment has not come down, he has not gone to the front of the palace and the guard and the military department, as for the Privy Council, Cao Bin is still there for the time being, so there is no need for Wang Chen to bother.

The second holy decree is naturally for Wang Jien, and the position of the martial envoy belongs to him again.

Two decrees at once.

Wang Chen smiled, he knew that Zhao Defang actually didn't want Wang Jien to be a martial arts envoy, and he also didn't want the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards to be under his own control, but there was no way, now Zhao Defang can only trust Wang Chen, and these are the edicts left by Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Defang can't listen to them.

In any case, Wang Chen is already in power.

After receiving the holy decree, Wang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Daddy, I'll go to the palace once, if you don't come back at noon, you can eat first." ”

Wang Jien was stunned, "What are you doing in the palace now?"

The corners of Wang Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, "Clean up a few disobedient people!"

The appointment of the buddy is finally down!

You can clean up those three bastards today!

Wang Chen has been thinking about it for a long time, before his mother asked the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards to send people to resist Zhao Kuangyin's army, and the three bastards actually shirked it, okay, don't you want to do it from the dragon's work, right? Then buddy will give you some big gifts!

……

Half an hour later.

The temple division, the hall.

All the senior officials of the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guard have been called over, and now Wang Chen is the commander of the front division of the palace and the commander of the pro-military department of the guard, the top commander of the two divisions, and no one dares not disobey the orders he issued.

"Palace!"

"All commanders!"

Twenty or thirty officials saluted in unison, and the names were different, the people in front of the palace called Wang Chen the palace marshal, and the guards and pro-military divisions called him the commander.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office.

Now everyone saw that Wang Chen rushed over as soon as he received the appointment, and knew that something big was going to happen today, and they were all very nervous, for fear that this fire would burn them.

In fact, the vast majority of people are okay, after all, they have not had any dealings with Wang Chen, and there are Li Huaizhong, Zhang Gan, Lu Qin and others, who are his cronies, with a beaming face.

But there are three people who sighed in their hearts, thinking that they may not be able to please today, these three people are the commander of Xu Du of the front division of the palace, the deputy commander of the guard pro-army horse army, and the deputy commander of the guard pro-army infantry army, after all, they rejected Wang Chen that day, and now that Wang Chen is on the throne, how can he not trouble them?

At the beginning, the three of them thought like this, their palace front division and the guard pro-military department were the emperor's first cronies, even if the political storm turned upside down, and the new emperor ascended the throne, they had to be reused.

What I didn't expect was that the emperor's edict actually appointed Wang Chen as the commander of the front division of the palace and the commander of the pro-army division of the guards!

You know, you can't even think of such a thing.

Why?

For example, in the Later Han Dynasty, the guards and pro-army commanded Shi Hongzhao to specialize in military and political power, and the power of the Guards Department was unprecedentedly expanded.

The guard department has set up a guard department prison, not only in charge of military law, but also involved in civil affairs, encroaching on judicial power, "the Han law is strict, and the guards are all commanding Shi Hongzhao to be especially cruel, favoring the Confucian official Xie Hui, who is in military prison, so that they can exercise at will, all of them are false...... Hongzhao is in charge of the forbidden soldiers, patrolling the capital, offending people, regardless of the severity of the situation, what the law is, they are all killed. or break the tongue, cut the tendons, and break the shins, and there is no void in the sun. Although there are traces of rape and thieves, and there are many unjust deaths, they dare not defend themselves. ”

The weight of his authority can be seen.

The complete rights of just one guard division can be so big, you can imagine how terrifying the power of the guard division is, since then, basically the commanders of the guard division are vacant, and the emperor himself grasps it.

In addition, the rights of the front division of the palace are no worse than those of the guard division, which can be compared.

How did Zhao Kuangyin become the emperor in the first place? He was the highest commander of the Guards Division, and later he became the front secretary of the palace to inspect the capital, so he had the strength to launch the Chenqiao Mutiny!

You must know that when Zhao Kuangyin was in power, he never set up three positions: the capital inspector, the deputy commander and the guard department.

And now, Wang Chen is also the commander of the guard department, and the front secretary of the palace is checking two heinous positions, and soon Cao Bin will lead the troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Privy Council will also fall into his hands, so to speak, all the military power of the Great Song Dynasty is in his hands, and then it will be more terrifying than the guards and pro-army commanders in the Later Han Dynasty!

Something bad!

This time it's time to finish the calf!

Commander Xu Du, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Infantry were panicked in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly spoke: "Today I officially took up the post of two departments and three officials, and I will ask my colleagues to help me in the future." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Wang Chen looked down and said unhurriedly: "The front division of the palace has been inspected, and the guards and pro-military divisions have commanded and made the two positions vacant for a long time, fortunately, the emperor and His Majesty trust me to hand over these two positions, and I don't want to live up to their high expectations, so some positions in the two divisions will be transferred." ”

When Commander Xu Du, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Bu heard this, they all frowned, and they didn't know where they would transfer the three of them.

Who knew that Wang Chen didn't mention the three of them at all, but said: "The post of deputy of the front of the palace is also vacant, and I am a little too busy to manage the two departments alone, in this way, Li Huaizhong, I will make a proposal to Your Majesty and mention you to be the deputy of the front of the palace." ”

Li Huaizhong was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a flattering face: "Thank you for the promotion." ”

Wang Chen smiled at him and nodded, and then said: "The positions of Sima Shuai and Bu Shuai of the guards are vacant as well, I am not very familiar with the Guards and Pro-Military Division, in order to facilitate management, I specially transferred Zhang Qian, the commander of the golden gun squad of the front division of the palace, and Lu Qin, the direct commander of the inner hall, to the guard division, and served as Ma Shuai and Bu Shuai respectively. ”

Zhang Qian and Lu Qin were both Wang Chen's cronies, and when they heard that they were all overjoyed when they heard that they were all on the rise, they stepped forward to thank them.

Commander Xu Du, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Bu turned pale, yes, Wang Chen didn't mention anything about cleaning them up, let alone transferring them to other departments or demoting them, etc., but they had already heard the meaning!

Before, the three of them were all the highest officials of the Sanya, and now Wang Chen has appointed Li Huaizhong, Zhang Qian, and Lu Qin as their top bosses, what does this mean?

It's clear that I want to give them small shoes to wear!

It's even worse than killing them outright!

Commander Xu Du's face changed, and he immediately made a decision in his heart, and said loudly: "Palace Marshal, my subordinates have something to tell you." ”

Wang Chen looked over and said, "Oh, what does Commander Xu Du have to say?"

Commander Xu Du gritted his teeth and said: "In recent years, my subordinates have been unwell, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be qualified for the position of commander of the front of the palace, and I want to take leave to recuperate at home for a period of time." ”

Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Bu's eyes lit up, and their hearts said that this trick is wonderful, not only to keep their official positions, but also not to be put in small shoes all day long, they hurriedly stepped forward and said respectively:

"My subordinates have old injuries and want to take leave for a while. ”

"Alas, my old father is old and bedridden, and his subordinates want to accompany him through the last days, so I beg the commander to let me take leave. ”

After the three of them finished speaking, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said that you can't do anything about us after taking leave, right?

Who knew that Wang Chen looked at them with interest, "You two are not feeling well, and one has to accompany your father, and you both feel that the yamen is too busy to do it, right?"

Commander Xu Du vaguely felt a sense of something wrong, but he really couldn't think of what Wang Chen was going to say next, so he nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”

Vice Marshal Ma and Vice Marshal Bu glanced at each other and admitted the same.

Wang Chen smiled, "In that case, then you don't have to take leave, I'll arrange an easy job for the three of you." ”

"Huh?"

"Easy to live?"

The three of them didn't understand what it meant.

Li Huaizhong, Zhang Qian, Lu Qin, and the remaining dozens of officials present also looked confused, what do you mean?

The next moment, they understood what it meant!

I saw Wang Chen leaning on the Taishi chair and said slowly: "There are three clean rooms in the Sanyamen, I smelled very fishy when I came before, and I was negligent in management, so the three of you are each responsible for a clean room, as long as you clean it every day, you can do anything at other times, okay, it's decided." ”

After speaking, he got up and left, leaving the dozens of officials of the palace front division and the guard department present with stunned expressions.

Let Xu Du command the envoy, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Foot to clean the toilet?

, the three of them are from the second grade, and they actually let them clean the toilet?

What a humiliating thing this Nima is!

Of course, Xu Du's commander, Ma Deputy Marshal and Bu Deputy Marshal couldn't bear it, they blushed, and went to the emperor Zhao Defang to complain as soon as possible, but as a result, they were also reprimanded by Zhao Defang.

What Zhao Defang means is that since Wang Chen is the minister of the former emperor and the supreme official of the front department of the palace and the guard department, the people below have to listen to whatever they say.

It's okay now, Xu Du's commanding envoys, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Bu's faces are all green, even the emperor helps Wang Chen speak, they can really only clean the toilet in the future!

Thinking of the stinky scene of the three toilets of the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards, the three of them wanted to die, why did they offend Wang Chen in the first place? I knew this, and I followed behind maybe they would all be mixed up now, but there is no regret medicine in life, and what awaits them is only the long identity of the toilet administrator, and the most important thing is that according to the situation of them offending Wang Chen, the five words of the toilet administrator may accompany them for a lifetime......

……

From the inside of the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards, this is Wang Chen taking revenge on the three people, but when this matter spread outside, many court bigwigs changed their faces, and they all understood one thing!

Countless court officials exclaimed!

Countless court ministers exclaimed!

"What's going on?"

"I heard you right, right? Wang Chen arranged for three second-grade seniors to clean the house?"

"Yes, you heard it right, I guess the three of them offended Wang Chen, but no matter what, they are all from the second grade, Wang Chen really did it?"

"Hey, what about what he did?"

"Yes, Wang Chen is now in charge of the front division of the palace and the guard department, and then he will be in charge of the Privy Council, the military power in the world is in his hands, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, who dares to have an opinion if he does this?"

“…… It seems so. ”

"It's not like, but it's really like this, don't look at the current prime minister is Xue Xiang, the second minister is Shen Xiang, in fact, they together are not as big as Wang Chen's power, after all, he is in charge of the military power in the world!

"Impossible, right? We're not from the front of the palace or the guards. ”

"Don't believe me?"

"You can try. ”

On this day, the Northern Song Dynasty court shook!

In charge of the world's military power, Wang Chen is already lawless!

From this moment on, a thought popped up in the hearts of every member of the Great Song Dynasty - Wang Chen may now have more power than the emperor, and from tonight onwards, the vast majority of people will have to look at his face and act!
