In the Ruisheng Garden, the imperial garden of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Daoshi, who was favored by Zhao Ji, performed a profound Taoist method, which suddenly made Zhao Jilong's heart happy and praised.

"Zhang Qing's family, he is really a master in the mountains!" Zhao Ji looked at Daoist Zhang, who was becoming more and more immortal, and praised him sincerely: "I have a heavy reward!" I plan to build a Taoist temple in the Ruisheng Garden, how about you raise it? After the Taoist temple is repaired, I have to come often to listen to the preaching of the Qing family. ”

"Thank you, Daojun!" Daoist Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked.

What does Zhao Ji's move indicate? It shows that Zhao Ji is more and more favored by Daoist Zhang, and at the same time builds a Taoist temple in the royal garden, which is rare.

At the same time, Daoist Zhang was overjoyed, and he was more and more grateful to Li Sanjian, because Li Sanjian once gave Daoist Zhang a strange book, which was of great help to Daoist Zhang's Taoist refinement.

"The official family, the concubine also wants to be a Taoist temple, and the concubine also wants to be a female Taoist priest." The new concubine Zheng laughed jokingly.

Zhao Ji is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he calls himself the "Emperor of the Daojun", so if his concubines are not interested, then it will be a big event, so at this time, Taoism began to be popular in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty. . .

Concubine Zheng is more than 20 years old this year, three years older than Zhao Ji, the daughter of Zheng Shen, when Zhao Ji was the king of Duan, Zheng was the second concubine of the palace.

Zheng was originally the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager Xiang, and was later given to Zhao Ji by the Empress Dowager Xiang.

At this time, although Zhao Ji is still in the mourning period, so he can't accept a new concubine, but the mourning period will pass one day, once the mourning period passes, Zhao Ji will definitely accept a new concubine, so it is an extremely important thing to fix the favor at this time.

"Haha, just build it." Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this: "But I don't have any money, when I have money, I will build a Taoist temple for my mother." ”

"The official family is sitting on the world, how can you say that there is no money? The official family is teasing the concubines again... Concubine Zheng Xian pouted.

"Haha, I really don't have any money!" Zhao Ji said with a smile.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the war in the northwest, the confrontation with the Khitan Liao State and the Western Xia cost the imperial court a lot of money, plus various natural and man-made disasters, all kinds of expenses, such as the cost of the palace, officials, etc., can be said to be huge, and the internal money is about to be exhausted at this time.

The so-called inner treasury refers to the inner storehouse.

The imperial court treasury is mainly composed of three parts, namely the imperial front, the household department and the imperial court treasury, and the imperial treasury is mainly the inner treasury, and the other has the left Tibetan south library, the left Tibetan pile library and the reward library, etc., used for the daily expenses of the royal family and to deal with military affairs or emergencies, which contains a lot of money, silk, grain and grass, etc., which can be said to be the main treasury of the Great Song Dynasty. The Inner Treasury was under the direct control of the Emperor and was managed on a day-to-day basis by appointing mainly the Cabinet Ministers.

If the inner treasury is about to be exhausted, then it can be said that the entire Great Song Dynasty's treasury is exhausted.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has a plan to dedicate to Your Majesty." Deng Xunwu, a casual living housekeeper, saw that the opportunity had come, so he spoke.

Deng Xunwu was the son of Deng Xuan, the right man of Song Shangshu. Deng Ju was born as a scholar, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi was in power, and the power was tilted for a while, so Deng Juan took refuge in Wang Anshi for the first time, in a high position, and contributed a lot to the change, after Wang Anshi was demoted, replaced by Lu Huiqing, so Deng Juan immediately turned the rudder and took refuge in Lu Huiqing, and then the court used Wang Anshi, Deng Juan immediately changed his course and took refuge in Wang Anshi.

Deng Juan was very shameless and had a very inferior character, which was despised by everyone.

However, in any case, Deng Juan was a capable leader of the "Yuanfeng" reform faction, and contributed a lot to the implementation of the new law and the crackdown on conservatives.

Deng Xunwu's son inherited his father's business, of course, he hoped that Zhao Ji would inherit his father's and brother's great cause and crack down on "Yuanyou's people".

And Zhao Ji likes painting, but it is a well-known thing, so Deng Xunwu lured him with pictures at this time.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Deng Xunwu: "Oh? The Dunshes also painted pictures? Take it out and let me see it. ”

"Your Majesty, please hold your back." After Deng Xunwu took out a picture scroll from his sleeve, he said to Zhao Ji mysteriously.

"You all go over there and play, I'll be here in a moment." When Zhao Ji saw Deng Xunwu's mysterious appearance, he became more and more curious, so he ordered the concubine and others.

Everyone retreated when they heard this, and Deng Xunwu was the only one left by Zhao Ji's side.

"Your Majesty, please look!" Deng Xunwu then unfolded the scroll on a stone table.

"The Picture of Love? What is it? Zhao Ji stared at the gradually unfolding picture scroll and asked curiously.

The picture of "The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu" is like the chronology of the "Historical Records", which is divided into seven layers, with the prime minister, the consul, the attendant, the Taiwan admonition, the Lang official, the pavilion, and the school each occupying one layer.

Deng Xunwu classified the names of the main officials of the imperial court according to their official positions or ranks, and painted them all on the "Map of Ai Mo Zhu".

On the left of the picture of "Ai Mo Zhu's Map" is the "Yuanfeng Party Member", and the right head is the "Yuanyou Party Member", which means that the names of those who support the reform are on the left, and the names of those who oppose the reform are on the right.

The first place on the right, the name filled in the prime minister's column is Song Zuo's prime minister Han Zhongyan, and the first place on the left, the prime minister's column is covered with a small piece of white yarn.

The names of those who oppose the reform of the law are densely packed, with hundreds of people, but the number of people who support the reform is very few, only a few dozen, and among those who support the reform, there are even fewer famous people, only Wen Yi, Zhao Tingzhi, Fan Zhixu, Wang Nengfu, Qian Shizhi and a few others.

The name of Zeng Bu, the right minister of the Song Dynasty, is not on the map of "The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu", perhaps because Zeng Bu "holds the center" view.

"The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu" is clear at a glance, and who in the court supports the change of the law and who opposes the change of the law is drawn on the map.

"The Map of Ai Mo Zhu" includes almost all the current officials of the DPRK and China, covering the DPRK and leaving no stone behind! At a glance, it can be seen that Deng Xunwu spent a lot of effort and a lot of time to draw this picture, which can be described as dedication and exhaustion, which can be described as "doing his best and dying". . . .

At the same time, this map also clearly told Zhao Ji that Zhao Ji wanted to inherit the will of his father and brother and do things to change the law and try to become stronger, and there were very few people who supported it, and those who opposed it would be overwhelming.

"The Picture of Love" means that Love is not helpable...

"Who's under the white veil?" Zhao Ji asked with a solemn expression after reading "The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu".

"Your Majesty, please look!" Deng Xunwu slowly removed the white veil with some pride...

So, Cai Jing made his debut。。。。。。。

"Your Majesty is the son of the first emperor, and the present minister is the son of Qi. The first emperor practiced a new law to benefit the people, Qi tasted right and wrong, and now Zhongyan is the phase, and the law of the first emperor is that Zhongyan can succeed his father, and His Majesty can't. If you want to follow the chronicles, you have to use Cai Jing. Deng Xunwu then said slowly.

Deng Xunwu's few short sentences contain three meanings.

The first meaning is to provoke the relationship between Han Zhongyan and Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji wants to inherit the will of his father and brother, and change the law to become strong, then Han Zhongyan will inherit his father's business, will oppose the change, and will become a huge stumbling block for Zhao Ji, and must be kicked away.

The second meaning is to guide Zhao Ji to the road of changing the law and becoming strong, inheriting the ambition of his father and brother.

The third meaning is clear at a glance, that is, to tell Zhao Ji that if he wants to change the law and inherit the will of his father and brother, then he must use Cai Jing and take Cai Jing as the phase.

And Cai Jing was kind to Deng Xunwu, who was the editor of the National Academy of History during the reign of Emperor Zhezong, and was recommended by Cai Jing.

Deng Xunwu's move can be regarded as a reward for Cai Jing's acquaintance.

In fact, repaying the favor is secondary, and the most important thing is that if Cai Jing is really promoted to the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty by Zhao Ji, then Deng Xunwu will definitely be soaring, and the future is immeasurable, Deng Xunwu has long been aware of Cai Jing's resurgence.

Deng Xunwu is also one of the people who has remained in favor of Cai Jing since he was demoted to Hangzhou.

"Deng Qing's family, you missed someone." Zhao Ji nodded and said.

Using Cai Jing as the prime minister, Zhao Ji at this time already took it for granted, the reason was that Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu were old, and it was already a little difficult to deal with the government, and Zhao Ji was in urgent need of a young and powerful official to act as the government. The key is that Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu's concepts are incompatible with Zhao Ji at this time.

And the most important thing is that Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu have been together for a long time, and they have gradually become a climate, so the emperor must take them down at this time, otherwise it will cause an unstable situation on the throne.

Cai Jing, who is about fifty-four years old this year, is known as a "capable minister", and his financial management skills have long been like thunder through Zhao Ji's ears...

For Cai Jing, Zhao Ji's ears have already heard calluses, and the concubines, ministers, eunuchs, palace maids and others around him remind Zhao Ji all the time that he needs to reuse this person...

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Ji unconsciously thought that it was a matter of course to promote Cai Jing as the prime minister.

However, Zhao Ji still did not forget Li Sanjian at this time, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, who is it?" Deng Xunwu asked in surprise when he heard this.

"The current Quanzhou Zhizhou, Li Sanjian and Li Hanren, where should he be ranked, left or right?" Zhao Ji asked after closing the "Picture of Ai Mo Zhu".

Deng Xunwu was speechless when he heard this, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a strong sense of jealousy.

Deng Xunwu's "Picture of Ai Mo Zhu" is all court officials, that is, "court officials", while Li Sanjian is a local state official in a remote place.

Which onion is he? What qualifications does he have to be on the official's "Map of Ai Mo Help"? Deng Xunwu said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Ji opened his mouth to inquire, which showed that Li Sanjian's position in Zhao Ji's mind made Deng Xunwu have a strong sense of jealousy, and he wanted to strangle Li Sanjian to death, so as not to compete with him for favor in the future...

"Li Zhizhou is a retainer of His Majesty, and Weichen does not dare to discuss it." Deng Xunwu replied after thinking for a moment.

In any case, Li Sanjian is the minister of Zhao Ji's hidden mansion, so Deng Xunwu did not dare to comment on Li Sanjian, otherwise once Zhao Ji was disgusted, his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Li Sanjian is a disciple of Su Shi!" After a while, Deng Xunwu couldn't help the disgust in his heart, so he reminded Zhao Jidao.
