A mansion in the capital.

Ye Wushuang, who is a year old, is becoming more and more beautiful, and he looks quiet in the courtyard to watch the snow.

Many things are still in the clouds, but the child can flash in his heart from time to time, Ye Wushuang can't help but think: I wonder if he has grown taller again this year? How is he doing in the Great Northwest this winter?

It wasn't until the squeaking sound of people's feet on the snow interrupted the train of thought that Ye Wushuang came back to his senses and felt a little blushing, this is not spring, young lady, am I not the legendary estrus?

Shaking his head, seeing that it was Ye Qinghua who hurriedly came, Ye Wushuang subconsciously asked, "Is there big news about children?" ”

Ye Qinghua shook his head slightly with a solemn look: "This time it has nothing to do with him." Shuang'er, our Great Song Dynasty has officially entered an eventful season, and the news a quarter of an hour ago said: Wen Yanbo pays homage to the prime minister, and the year name is Jiayou. ”

"Ahh

The cup of warm wine in Ye Wu's hands spilled on the ground, and he said incredulously: "Half a year ago, Wen Yanbo made a lot of nonsense, angered the emperor, and insisted on resigning and being idle at home, not to mention that he quit without warning this time?" ”

Ye Qinghua sat down, drank a glass of wine and calmed down, and said: "A few days ago, there were some signs that something was wrong, and there were rumors in the imperial city that the emperor occasionally danced with his hands and feet, and he couldn't help but have saliva flowing out of his mouth, and his words were incoherent, and his condition became worse and worse for a few days, so in a trance, the emperor was always chanting 'The queen and Zhang Mao are plotting rebellion'." ”

"Ahh Ye Wushuang was shocked again, this time the wine jug was removed.

Ye Qinghua shook his head slightly: "Shuang'er, there is no need to guess on this issue. The emperor and the empress are at odds, and the reasons for this are complicated, as early as the palace rebellion in the eighth year of Qingli, the emperor and the empress had heart disease. Therefore, this time the emperor is critically ill, and people will inevitably talk nonsense when they are confused, which is a lie, and it is really unacceptable. Seriously, the political changes that have come with this. ”

Ye Wushuang thought for a while and said, "What the third uncle said is true. If the rumors are true, in the eighth year of Qingli, the emperor and the empress had a heart disease, and suspected that they were plotting rebellion, but it has not been abolished or investigated for so many years, it is definitely impossible. The emperor is merciful, but he will not be merciful to this point. So theoretically, these should really be treated as inaccurate rumors. ”

"That's what smart people are." Ye Qinghua smiled and nodded.

"Then uncle, the era name you said Jiayou, Wen Yanbo worships the prime minister, is it related to these?" Ye Wushuang said.

"Quite a deal." Ye Qinghua said lightly: "Now that the Great Song Dynasty has officially entered an eventful season, many problems are imminent. The emperor's 'critical illness' made him feel that time might not be running out, and many things in the Great Song Dynasty had not been sorted out or even more chaotic, so he was anxious. Especially on the first day of the new year, the Liao envoy came to visit and asked to increase the cost of the New Year's currency under the framework of the Yuanyuan Alliance, and the emperor was unable to meet the Liao envoy because he could not take care of himself. But Chen Zhizhong handled this matter very badly, neither refused nor compromised, no assertiveness and chaos, Chen Zhizhong's reason was that he could not consult the emperor, and the emperor was in a state of unconsciousness, which finally caused the Liao envoy to leave in anger. ”

After a pause, he continued: "In the past, Chen Zhizhong and the mud could be endured, but in this period of concurrent national disasters, it is still like this, that is a matter of people and ability. So when the emperor came to his senses, he was very dissatisfied, and he didn't even see Chen Zhizhong's face, and he issued an edict to Chen Zhizhong to dismiss the prime minister without consulting anyone. In fact, this is also right, Chen Zhizhong's coming to power was excessive, and now, he has completed his historical mission. ”

"Why Wen Yanbo?" Ye Wushuang said curiously.

Ye Qinghua said: "One of the advantages of Wen Yanbo is that he always protects the interests of the dynasty, scholars, and emperors. Half a year ago, it seemed that Lao Wen was stubborn and had a lot of trouble with the emperor, but in fact, we wouldn't care about that little thing with the emperor's temperament. In particular, this process reflects Wen Yanbo's backbone and integrity, he may not have much ability but dare to carry it, can carry it, these are exactly what the emperor needs when he feels that his body is not as good as before. At this point, the most prominent performance at that time were three people: Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng, and Wang Anshi. ”

"Bao Zheng's style is destined to be unable to dominate and coordinate the court. And Wang Anshi is the first representative of the Shaozhuang faction, but his qualifications are still shallow, he has no team, and he cannot convince the public. So Wen Yanbo left the deepest impression on the emperor at that time, as a veteran minister of Qingli, he had enough team, strategy, and prestige, which is why he came to the front this time. ”

"Second sake. It seems that the emperor is determined to protect Wang Yan's reforms in the northwest. The use of Wen Yanbo and the resignation of Chen Zhizhong are actually to prevent and protect Wang Yan to a certain extent. The biggest situation facing Wang Yan in the northwest is civil and military discord, and Wen Yanbo will unconditionally protect Wang Yan on this issue and will not allow the queen's family to overindulge. So under these comprehensive factors, this morning Wen Yanbo paid homage to the prime minister, and officially entered the Zhongshu Gate to preside over the work, the first decree: revoke the year name to He, and change it to Jiayou. ”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang suddenly said, "What about the privy envoy Liang Shi?" Is Hiroshi Bunko also a privy councilor? ”

Ye Qinghua shook his head and said, "No." Liang Shi's belongs to the same as Chen Zhizhong, he is a set of teams, and he and Wang Anshi do not cooperate well. This time it was a succession of several holy decrees, Liang Shi dismissed the privy envoy due to the appropriate military handling of the northwest, and Jia Changchao took over as the privy envoy. He also urgently summoned Fubi from the Daimyo's office to return to the court and serve as the deputy prime minister. Wang Anshi went to the first level to pay homage to the Privy Council, and continued to serve as the envoy of the herd priesthood. Ouyang repaired it, and Ren Quan Yu Shi Zhongcheng. ”

At this point, because of the emperor's "critical illness" incident, the harmonious political pattern of the Great Song Dynasty was completely subverted. This is a defensive-type squad.

The large-scale use of Qingli old ministers means that the emperor has a certain desire to reform, so Wen Yanbo is the commander-in-chief. Fu Bi's entry into the ruling leadership heralded a complete change in the supervision of the gatekeepers and the Great Song Dynasty's policy toward Liao.

Obviously, Fu Bi, a person who has never given face to the Liao people, has entered the ruling team, so the Liao State's request to increase the New Year's currency must be yellow.

The reason why it is called defensive is because the setup of this team is not aggressive. is also an old minister of Qingli, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan are obviously more angry than anyone else. If Han Qi is not enabled to return to Beijing, maybe the emperor doesn't want to be too aggressive and just defensive, and maybe it's because Funing County, a prodigy, is now inseparable from Han Qi's support.

Another defense, perhaps the queen's house.

The emperor said that the queen's rebellion may not be true in the case of confusion, the queen's family has not been purged, obviously she has not done anything to death, but she has thought about it, and the emperor must have a reason to guard against the queen's family, perhaps to protect Zhao Zongshi.

Zhao Zongshi is Zhao Zhen's adopted son, but the queen's family is the least to see Zhao Zongshi. The emperor has no heirs, so now there are more "heirs" available in the Great Song Dynasty, and the system of the Great Song Dynasty allows the awesome ministers to even ask about the heirs.

Therefore, there is no doubt that after the emperor was critically ill and came to his senses again, he dismissed Chen Zhizhong's team as soon as possible, which should be to prevent this group of people from inaction after the emperor could not be on the council, and inaction would inevitably lead to chaos and control by people with intentions. At that time, the heir of the Great Song Dynasty should be the queen's family. Perhaps, what did the emperor mean when he was sick, "the queen conspired to rebel"?

I'm afraid that's what the defensive team really defends.

The team that does these things needs backbone, just like Wen Yanbo's obsession with the emperor at that time.

So now that Ye Qinghua and Ye Wushuang have discussed it in detail, these should be the reasons why Wen Yanbo's team came to power.

Theoretically, Han Qi is more awesome at doing these things, but Han Qi is a tiger, completely offensive rather than defensive. Therefore, Han Qi did not come forward this time, in addition to the reason of Funing County, it also shows that the emperor has always been benevolent and not angry, and he does not want to overly force the queen's family to cause more problems.

"It's strange that in terms of word-of-mouth, Liang Shi, Chen Zhizhong, and Jia Changchao are actually completely the same kind of people. Since the emperor suddenly changed blood due to physical reasons, why did he get rid of Liang Shi and come to Jia Changchao, who had similar attributes? Ye Wushuang said curiously.

Ye Qinghua said: "Judging from the team setting, Wen Yanbo is used to guard the goal, not to attack. Wen Yanbo will also be Wang Yan's opponent at some times, which shows that the emperor's trust in Lao Wen is also limited, and if he is not also a privy envoy, the overall national policy will not be formed. However, Wen Yanbo, who can carry, and Jia Changchao, who can match and thin mud, are dominated by Wen Yanbo. In fact, your uncle thinks that this time the emperor's reform will focus on the military, which is why Wang Anshijia knows the affairs of the Privy Council. ”

"In the past, Liang Shi and Wang Anshi were not in harmony, and Lao Liang knew some privy matters. And now there is a newcomer Jia Changchao who does not act, has nothing to do with Wang Anshi, and does not know about privy councils at all, which is equivalent to saying that Wang Anshi is fully in charge of privy councils. This is tantamount to starting with a military change. ”

Only then did Ye Wushuang understand.

Tongzhi Privy Council is actually the "Privy Councillor", but the name is different, and the two positions will not exist at the same time. It's the same as some people's prefects with the word power, which is considered an internship, and usually if there is no moth, the word "right" will be removed after a year.

But the governing power is the same, in the past, Wang Anshi could only implement but not make decisions. But now the Privy Council is the same as the deputy military minister, and this is a decision-making position. provided that it is not vetoed by the privy councillor.

The ambiguity of this setting lies in the fact that Wang Anshi has already become familiar with the Privy Council and has entered the state, and has also been promoted to a decision-making position. To say that it is ugly, it is used to top the pot, just like Liang Shi in the previous Chen Zhizhong. This unspoken rule has been used both in ancient and modern times.

Such a setting means that the emperor is still the obscene and benevolent news control, who wants to reform and balance. Jia Changchao is used to pull hatred and protect the reformist Wang Anshi, because once there is a problem with the military system, the responsibility of the privy envoy is greater than that of the Privy Council, which can be thought of with his toes.

By the way, Wang Anshi's political foundation is still weaker, and his young prestige is not enough, so getting the title of "Tongzhi Privy Secret" is not so hateful.

In short, after the uncle explained this, Ye Wushuang was very speechless to Dayan, I really don't know if he is a kid or has the ability of ghosts and gods?

Not only has he done many miraculous feats, but under the emperor's mind, his kid seemed to be a brainless move in the capital at that time, but it would undoubtedly make the emperor like it in his heart. When everyone has always despised Zhao Zongshi's fight on the street, Wang Yan was his iron buddy.

These things are more or less lucky, but they are also the resources and strength of the little kids. At this point, it is completely certain politically: anyone can fall, but the gods will never fall.

Whether the northwest will really become popular, no one knows, but as long as the bad boy is not caught by the Xixia people and hanged in Xingqing Mansion, he will definitely soar into the sky one day, and he will be even more awesome than his father, this is almost certain.

"I miss him a little bit and want to go to the Northwest to see it." Ye Wushuang drank the last sip of wine.

"There's nothing to see now, and all you can see is the cold northwest wind and the chaos of the soldiers. Wait a little longer, and you'll go again when he needs money again. Ye Qinghua got up and left......
