Back home.

Everyone is still waiting for Wang Chen to eat together.

Wang Chen, who had just cleaned up the three people of Xu Du's commander, Ma deputy marshal and foot deputy marshal, was in a good mood, but he could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief, if he hadn't broken into the Longtan tiger's den and kidnapped Zhao Guangyi at that time, maybe he would be unlucky now.

During a meal.

The rules are stricter on Wang Jien's side, not as casual as Wang Chen in Tongzhou, people can eat together, here, only Wang Yuncang has some advantages, even Yun'er can't serve together, no way, Wang Yuncang, this old boy, shoots Wang Jien well.

Wang Jien asked, "Why did you go to the palace?"

Wang Chen said with a smile: "Commander Xu Du, Deputy Marshal Ma and Deputy Marshal Infantry have arranged to clean the house." ”

"Hey, did you enter the palace for this?" Wang Jien said a little crying and laughing.

"But isn't it, I sent the three of them to the dragon before, they don't want to work against me, how can they serve the public after they don't clean up? Wang Chen was in a very high mood, picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a dumpling and ate it.

Liu Qihong didn't eat it either, "Official, who is in charge of the world's military power, have you become a privy envoy?"

"Just a privy deputy. Wang Chen said casually.

Wang Jien explained hesitantly: "It is said that he is talking about the privy deputy envoy, but Cao Xiang will soon lead troops to attack Taiyuan, in the future, the Privy Council will be under the control of Brother Chen, and when Cao Xiangping and Taiyuan come back, the entire Privy Council must be our people, do you think Cao Xiang still has the heart to be a privy envoy in name only? Besides, the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards are now under the command of Brother Chen, which is much more majestic than being a bare privy envoy." ”

"Ouch, Brother Chen is so powerful. Wang Yuncang's eyes lit up, and his eyes hurriedly flattered: "Can you give me an official?" There hasn't been an official in our family for eight generations, Brother Chen, give me an official." ”

Wang Chen blinked and said, "How about letting you be the head of the house?"

Wang Yuncang didn't quite understand, and asked, "Is the chief manager of Ouchi majestic?"

"Majestic. Wang Chen said.

Wang Yuncang was overjoyed and said: "When, when, when." ”

Wang Jien and Yun'er, who were standing and waiting for them, held back a smile.

On the contrary, Liu Qihong smiled and said: "Official, don't play with him." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Yuncang didn't react.

Wang Jien laughed hesitantly, "Our Great Song Dynasty, there is no such thing as the chief of the Great Interior, but the eunuchs are all known to be the highest grade, that is, the grade of our family, commonly known as the chief of the Great Interior, do you want to be the one? ”

Wang Yuncang trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't." ”

Everyone laughed at his funny appearance.

Wang Chen immediately asked seriously: "Do you really want to be an official?"

"Hmm!" Wang Yuncang nodded vigorously, "I just want to be a little more majestic." ”

Speaking of coming from a child to the Northern Song Dynasty, the first follower was Wang Yuncang, Wang Chen naturally had to take care of a little, besides, this old boy was not only literate, but also made a good account, he pondered for a while, and felt that he could arrange to go to the household department, but he had no one at hand for the time being, so Wang Chen said: "Okay, I will first arrange for you to go to the household department of Shangshu Province as a order history, and then find a way to turn it into a household department later." ”

The Song Dynasty had two household departments, one was the nominal household department, and the other was the household department of Shangshu Province, and in fact, it was the household department of Shangshu Province that was really in power.

Wang Yuncang said excitedly: "Okay, good, thank you Brother Chen." ”

……

Next.

It's less than six in the morning.

Looking at the court, Wang Chen stood in the front row early, and beside him there were a series of bigwigs such as Xue Juzheng, Shen Yilun, King Jin, King Wugong County, and Cao Bin.

Nominally speaking, Wang Chen's grade is already the pinnacle of the Song Dynasty's substantive position, and it is all a post above, not to mention it for the time being.

Today he was a little excited.

Why?

Because I can clean up my political enemies!

The most important point is that to clean up these people, Wang Chen doesn't need to take the initiative, those people will send them to the door by themselves.

Some people may not quite understand what that means.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, generally speaking, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the old minister will take the initiative to resign, and then the new emperor will retain, and finally the old minister will say some loyal words to continue to perform his duties, and everyone is happy.

However, Wang Chen and Zhao Defang have already passed the anger, and some people will directly allow it to resign, rather than keep it.

Honglu Temple has just presided over the ceremony.

Zhao Defang, who was sitting on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, looked extremely grand, and said: "I have just ascended the throne, so naturally I want to give amnesty to the world, Xue Xiang, you read the edict I wrote last night to everyone, is there any problem?" ”

"Wow. Xue Juzheng was born.

The officials of Honglu Temple took the holy decree down, and the two unfolded it.

Xue Juzheng stood in front of the holy decree and said in a frustrated manner: "Emperor Chenfang, dare to use Xuanmu to announce to the Emperor and Empress: Song Dynasty has six out of ten, six out of nine hundred and seventy years, the life of the four seas, Wang Gang should stand, there are lines in the five latitudes, Lingxiang and see, the number of deductions, the ancient road of consideration, the number of salty days, the prosperity of the world, all the Jiaxiang people and gods are the talismans of the Zhao family's order...... The hope of the people is only in the Song Dynasty. ”

Some pretty conventional words.

Wang Chen knew that this thing was definitely not written by Zhao Defang himself, and it was estimated that it was written by Zhongshu Province or someone.

After reading it, everyone had no opinion.

Thus the decree of the edict to the world was confirmed.

Then there were some routine processes, such as reporting where there was something going on, and what happened to the secretary.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning.

The court meeting is coming to an end.

Wang Chen perked up all of a sudden, and the time he had been waiting for a long time to clean up people had come!

Sure enough, at this time, Xue Juzheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and God is incapable of doing it, so I beg to let me return to my hometown." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Defang stood up, walked down quickly, took Xue Juzheng's hand and persuaded him: "I just ascended the throne, I am in the Great Song Dynasty, and I need Xue Xiang's guidance, how can you resign?"

Xue Juzheng insisted: "The old minister is already sixty-four this year, and he should have enjoyed the joy of family a long time ago, and I ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Zhao Defang said some words of consolation.

But Xue Juzheng insisted on resigning.

Wang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and he said that he could persuade him once, why did Lao Xue insist on resigning again and again? Do you really not want to be the prime minister?

Zhao Defang was still persuading, "Xue Xiang, if you resign, who in Zhongshu Province can still serve the public?"

Xue Juzheng smiled and said: "Naturally, there are capable people to live in, if Your Majesty does not have a suitable candidate, you can ask the king to check, he is in the immortal class, and he is an extraordinary person, presumably he has a sharp eye, and I ask Your Majesty to allow me to return to my hometown." ”

Let me propose?

This time Wang Chen understood, Xue Juzheng was really ready to resign and quit, obviously, this old guy saw it very clearly, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the King of Jin and the King of Wugong County have many dissatisfactions, and the political storm is about to be born, Xue Juzheng doesn't want to be caught in the middle, it's nothing to stand on the right team, if you stand on the wrong team, it will be a lot of fun if you don't have a good night.

And if Lao Xue resigns now, he will not only be able to protect himself, but also sell his personal favor to everyone, because once he resigns, Zhongshu Province will definitely experience a big purge, and whether it is Zhao Defang's people entering, or Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao's people entering, they will all inherit Xue Juzheng's love.

However, Wang Chen is only ready to accept Xue Juzheng's love by himself, and is not prepared to let others.

Zhao Defang couldn't persuade Xue Juzheng, so he had to say: "Then I'll ask Wang Du to check first, if he has the right personnel, I will allow you to tell the old man to return to his hometown, if he doesn't, I can only ask Xue Xiang to work hard for a few more years." ”

"Good. "Xue Ju is right.

Zhao Defang looked at Wang Chen, "Wang Du checked, who do you think is better for the prime minister?"

Of course Wang Chen wants to say that he is, but it is not possible for the time being, if he really does this, I am afraid that the entire court will make a fuss when he looks back, although he nominally controls the military power of the world, but in fact he only controls half of it in the real sense, and the people on the Privy Council have not been in contact, it is better to keep a low profile, and it is not too late to fly after he really masters all the military power.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to get that person back to contain Zhao Guangyi as Zhao Kuangyin said before he died, so he said, "Zhao Pu." ”

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still, and said: "Zhao Pu was degraded by the first emperor, and now the first emperor will call him back soon after his death, isn't it good?"

The people of Zhao Er's faction also stood up one by one to speak out, such as Wang You, Lu Duoxun and Pan Mei.

"Never. ”

"King Jin is right. ”

"The first emperor degraded Zhao Pu, Your Majesty, we can't reuse him, otherwise we won't be filial. ”

A group of people began to talk nonsense.

Even the word unfilial piety was moved out.

You must know that the ancients attached the most importance to filial piety, even if Zhao Defang became the emperor, he really couldn't bear the big hat of filial piety.

Fortunately, Wang Chen argued with reason: "In extraordinary times, Xue Xiang resigned, and only Zhao Pu was left who was familiar with Zhongshu, why can't he be reused? The first emperor spent 16 years to develop my Great Song Dynasty to the peak of national strength, presumably I don't want to see the problems under the door of the Chinese book after the death, resulting in the development of national strength is unsustainable, I think His Majesty reinstated Zhao Pu is to protect the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, if the first emperor has knowledge, he must be gratified, this is filial piety. ”

At the beginning, Zhao Pu was done by Lu Duoxun, he definitely didn't want Zhao Pu to come back, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to what Wang Du said, Zhao Pu is greedy for money, and the emperor expelled him from Beijing, if His Majesty really wants to take Zhao Pu, the minister would rather resign than do it!"

Yes, Ludosun is threatening to resign.

Generally speaking, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the old minister will not allow it to resign, even if it is a threat, otherwise it will leave people with a handle, Lu Duosun is playing this wishful thinking, he feels that Zhao Defang must be retained, and then, Zhao Pu will not come back.

Wang Chen, who was standing in the front row, smiled, thinking that he would have to deal with the prime minister's matter before he could clean it up, but he didn't expect Lu Duosun to jump out first.

At the beginning, Wang Chen asked Lu Duoxun to seek refuge with Zhao Defang, but this product refused faster than anyone else, and when Zhao Kuangyin was alive, he scolded him again and again, so it would be strange to say that Wang Chen did not hold a grudge against this person.

Now dare to use the threat of resignation to prevent Zhao Pu from returning to Beijing?

Okay!

Then you will resign.

The corners of Wang Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he glanced at Zhao Defang.

Zhao Defang understood, sighed and said, "Lu Shilang, why are you doing this?"

Lu Duoxun was happy, and he knew that you would not let me resign, and he said: "The minister is determined to do this, for the sake of the emperor, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, and must not restore Zhao Pu, even if I am not the official servant!"

"Oh well. Zhao Defang said helplessly: "Since Lu Shilang is determined to do this, I can't dismiss your intentions and resign." ”

Zhao Guangyi was stunned!

Wang You and the others from Zhao Er's faction were also stunned!

The rest of the ministers were all stunned, no one expected Zhao Defang to resign!

Especially Lu Duoxun, his face was full of astonishment, Nima, what is the situation? Shouldn't he be retained? How can he allow it? He was completely confused, damn, his own mouth, the official was lost?

"It's not. Lu Duosun was anxious and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhao Defang waved his hand and said: "Okay, I know Lu Shilang's thoughts, needless to say, since you have resigned, it is inconvenient to participate in the affairs of the country, so let's tell me first." ”

Ludoson: "......"

His face is all green, he doesn't play like this.

But the words of resignation were said by Lu Duosun himself, even if he didn't want to be cheeky and said that he would not resign, because Emperor Chrysostom approved it!

At this moment, Lu Duoxun was in the mood to die, especially when he saw Wang Chen turning his head and looking at him with a smile that seemed to be smiling, he understood, this was obviously calculated, if he guessed correctly, I am afraid that Wang Chen and Zhao Defang have been waiting for him to take the initiative to resign!

Lu Duoxun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he felt that Zhao Defang was young and had just ascended the throne, so he couldn't do this kind of thing, and it was Wang Chen's idea to be a ghost who lacked morality, but now, not only did he have nothing to do with Wang Chen, but he was also worried that he would be retaliated against by various political enemies after resigning, and the whole person was messy for a while.

Wang Chen also added fuel to the fire and said: "Eh, Lu Shilang, Your Majesty asked you to go down first, why are you still standing here? Are you going to disobey the Holy Order?"

Disobey your sister!

You stinky rascal!

Lu Duoxun's eyes were red, and he had the heart to kill Wang Chen, but reality forced him to squeeze out a smile on his face that was difficult to see, "What's that...... The minister retired first. With that, he turned around and walked out of the hall with a sad face.

Seeing that Lu Duosun was really allowed to resign.

For a while, many officials who were originally going to play a set of courtesies and courtesies jumped in shock, and no one was silent.

They were silent, but Wang Chen said loudly: "It is my family's words to reuse Zhao Puwei, and anyone who has any opinions will put it forward and tell it to His Majesty." ”

Say your mom!

Learn from Ludoson's threat of resignation, and then is it really allowed?

A group of ministers who had opinions scolded in their hearts, and they all pinched their noses and admitted the matter.

"No, no comment. ”

"Haha, Wang Du checked and laughed. ”

"Yes, the candidate you proposed couldn't be more suitable, how can we have an opinion?"

In the end, this matter was decided, and Zhao Pu was taken as a phase.

Wang Chen smiled slightly, knowing that this group of people had accepted their fate, Zhao Pu proposed to reuse it as a phase, and now that he is in charge of the world's military power, Zhao Pu will be grateful when he comes back, and the Zhongshu Sect has been infiltrated by himself Some forces.

Well, that's not the end of the story.

Subsequently, Shen Yilun, Cao Bin and others did not have any ill intentions, and they all took the initiative to resign in accordance with the process.

These people Zhao Defang could not directly allow them as he did with Lu Duoxun, so he opened his mouth and kept them.

Wang Chen never spoke.

Some of the previously neutral officials saw that Shen Yilun and the others were fine, and they became emboldened, and they also acted according to the process, but as a result, Lu Duoxun's similar things did not happen again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But a few people didn't speak.

Basically, they are all Zhao Guangyi's people, such as Wang You, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, and was not ready to resign at all, after all, Lu Duoxun had learned from the past.

Wang You is silent, but it doesn't mean that someone just let it go.

Wang Chen blinked and said, "Wang You, Wang Sima, do you have anything to say?"

Depend on!

You're still approaching?

Wang You is Zhao Guangyi's person, of course he understands what Wang Chen means, he smiled and waved his hand: "No, there is nothing to say, whatever Your Majesty decides to be a minister supports." ”

Wang Chen saw that this goods did not accept, so he took the initiative to say: "Well, Wang Sima is really loyal." After a pause, he continued to Zhao Defang, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a loyal minister like Wang Sima should add more officials to the knighthood. ”

What do you mean?

Added to the ranks?

Not only Wang You was stunned, but also Zhao Guangyi, Pan Mei and other officials, they even wondered if Wang Chen had taken the wrong medicine, who didn't know that Wang You was Zhao Guangyi's person, and now being promoted to the rank of knight is not equivalent to weakening Zhao Defang's power.

However, the next moment they knew why Wang Chen said this.

Zhao Defang asked: "Then according to the meaning of the king's inspection, what kind of official should I add to Wang Sima?"

Wang You's official position Zuo Si Lang only from the six products, the reason why it is called Wang Sima, is because he also has an official position is the town ** marching Sima, like the Zuo Si member Wai Lang is not big, but the actual power is very large, under the book of Shangshu Province, and Zuo Shilang is the same as the deputy of Shangshu Zuo Cheng, supervising the government affairs of the officials, households, and the Ministry of Rites.

It can be said that there is a lot of oil and water in this position.

Wang Chen said slowly: "Jun Rongzhi still lacks a commander in the front division of my palace, although it is only from the fifth grade, it is better than Wang Sima as a member of the left division from the sixth grade." ”

Hearing this, Wang You almost fell headlong, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that he has been feeling a little unwell over the years, and he is just about to resign. ”

Why did he resign as soon as he heard Wang Chen's proposal?

It's very simple, the power of the front division of the palace is in the hands of Wang Chen, if he enters the front division of the palace, then Wang Chen will not be able to rectify Wang You as much as he wants!

Besides, Jun Rong bluntly said that he was one of the classes in front of the palace, and he was actually in charge of singing and dancing performances.

Naturally, Wang You would rather resign than be sent to the front of the palace to be rectified by Wang Chen.

But how could Wang Chen let go of the other party, and said righteously: "Wang Sima is young and strong, how can he resign when he is working for my Great Song Dynasty?"

Have you ever seen a person in his fifties who is young and strong? Wang You's nose is about to be crooked, and in the Song Dynasty, he was already an old man at the age of fifty, and he hurriedly said, "I ...... it."

As soon as he said a word, Zhao Defang interrupted: "Well, Wang Dudian's words are reasonable, okay, and transfer Wang Sima to the front of the palace Si Junrong to be the commander." ”

Wang You was about to vomit blood, but the emperor said so, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, nominally to promote him, if he refused again, he didn't know how to lift, so he had to say helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Song Wei is a very bad person, and said with a smile: "Don't you thank Wang Du for the inspection? He took the initiative to ask you to go." ”

Wang You's eyes were black, his face was red, and he was reluctant, and said, "Thank you, Wang Du, for the inspection." ”

Wang Chenpi smiled and said, "No thanks, since you are the one I took the initiative to go over, I will definitely take care of it when I go back." ”

Wang You wailed in his heart, it's over, he is going to be killed, he doesn't know where he offended Wang Chen, and he thought that he was on the wrong team and was rectified, he was in a dark face for a while, did he not look at the yellow calendar when he went out today? Why is he so unlucky? I knew that Zhao Defang was already in a bad mood when he succeeded to the throne, after all, he was on the wrong team, and now he was transferred by Wang Chen to open the rectification, not to mention how uncomfortable! Damn, who am I recruiting to provoke whom?

Well, Wang Chen used time rewind before, and Wang You didn't know that it was because he rejected Wang Chen's wooing that he was calculated.

The other people from Zhao Guangyi's faction also had terrifying faces, and they thought that Zhao Defang and Wang Chen were going to bring them down today.

However, what happened next was unexpected.

Wang Chen and Zhao Defang didn't continue to rectify Zhao Guangyi's people at all, like Pan Mei and others, there was nothing at all, especially Pan Mei's resignation, and Zhao Defang took the initiative to keep it.

This is very confusing for everyone.

There were a few neutral officials who had rejected Wang Chen before, and they didn't contact themselves, so they took the initiative to resign according to the process, and Zhao Defang agreed!

For example, after Hou Zhi, who had previously refused to be wooed by Wang Chen, was allowed to resign, "Uh...... Your Majesty, do you really allow the old minister to resign?"

Zhao Defang nodded and said, "That's right!"

Hou Zhi shouted inwardly.

There was also an official who had rejected Wang Chen before and said with a stunned face: "Ah? I am also allowed to resign?"

Packed up five or six people at once, all of whom Wang Chen didn't agree to before, and from time to time he took the initiative to resign and was allowed, that is, he was arranged by Wang Chen to go to the front of the palace or the pro-military division of the guards, and then he could open the whole at any time!

The pilgrimage ends.

Many people whispered as they walked.

"The king can't be checked!"

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, although I don't know how those people offended Wang Du today, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is settling accounts after the autumn, and now, he has become a climate, and he can ignore many people!"

"You know he's the climate, huh?"

"Shut up and don't say anything, if we accidentally talk about something, someone will listen to him and sue him, and there will be no good life when I turn back." ”

Everyone's hearts sank.

Even the people from the Jin King faction were silent at the moment, at least on the surface, no one dared to say anything to Wang Chen anymore, everyone knew that Wang Chen was now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he was powerful, so it was better to be honest.

Even if someone has an opinion on Wang Chen, they dare not speak out!

This is the influence of absolute power, and this is Wang Chen's current status in the court!

……

The former division of the temple.

Wang Chen looked at Wang You, who had been standing in front of him for more than an hour, his legs were trembling, leaned back in the chair, and said slowly: "Come, sing a little song to the master." ”

Wang You said tightly: "It belongs to ...... My subordinates can't sing songs. ”

"No?" Wang Chen slapped the table and said, "No, how can you lead Jun Rongzhi? Are you going to live up to the trust that Your Majesty and I have placed in you?"

Wang You was about to cry, and hurriedly said, "I sing, I sing." Then he seemed to sing Wang Chen's butterfly love flowers: "Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is fine, looking at the extreme spring sorrow, and the sky is gloomy......"

The thief who sings in a broken brass voice is unpleasant.

But Wang Chen was happy to hear it, this account was finally settled with them, look, Wang You is trying to save his life to please this point, right, this thing brings people a feeling that is too wonderful, he is a little obsessed with this taste.
