Although Zhao Gonglian has not been in the capital in recent years, as a favored minister and the most promising official of the Great Song Dynasty, he has also formed a powerful political force in the court for more than ten years, but this force is dumbbell-shaped, one is a high-ranking official, the other is a low-grade Beijing official, and there are few middle-level real power officials, and the position is mainly held by Cai Jing and others.

Now that the emperor has hated Zhao Gonglian, Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan and other high-level power allies have decisively abandoned Cangzhao, and are ready to help the emperor bite Cangzhao a few times if necessary, and step Cangzhao into hell. Su Yuanjing, Su Taiwei and some more upright officials in the court who have always supported Zhao Gonglian, seeing that the perverted emperor has made up their minds, it is in vain to defend Zhao Gonglian, and they will also harm the emperor himself, so they also shut up with humor and let the thieves bite Cangzhao madly. This is equivalent to the loss of Zhao Gonglian's power in the middle and high-level of the DPRK.

Most of the remaining middle and low-grade officials are young and young Zhuang faction, and they support and follow Zhao Gonglian, which is nothing more than two kinds:

One is sincere.

Ambitious, when he was studying, he deeply admired and learned Zhao Gonglian's ambition, ability, and discipline, and wanted to do practical things with Zhao Gonglian, make achievements, reverse the corruption of the tomb of the Great Song Dynasty, and help the Great Song Dynasty seize the rare opportunity of the Jin Qi Liao Revolution to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and change the cramped and embarrassing passive situation of the Northern Song Dynasty without favorable defensive terrain to resist the Northern Barbarians, improve the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and also hold the thigh of Zhao Gonglian, the prime minister in the near future, in his own interests, and have a bright and lofty future, and be a famous minister through the ages.

The other is political opportunists.

They may also deeply admire Zhao Gonglian, who is ambitious, has a long-term political vision, and is not in a hurry to soar to Huang Tengda, or is too young and humble, and wants to take refuge in Cai Jing, etc., but people don't look down on him, and he can't get a rapid climb, so he simply patiently boils his qualifications and mixes with the future prime minister, looking for a bright future in a few years.

Now, the situation has changed abruptly, Zhao Gonglian is strong now, and he can continue to be strong for a while, but he is already a grasshopper after the autumn of officialdom.

The time has come to test people's hearts. But people's hearts are not examined.

For a time, the younger brothers of the officials who followed Zhao Gonglian in the capital were busy clearing up their relationship with Cangzhao, and rushed around urgently to tie up with Cai and other officials to keep their careers. In the blink of an eye, Tokyo's Bunnari Marquis Mansion has become crowded with visitors.

However, Confucian education still taught some true gentlemen with backbone and great ambitions. It's just too little.

The vast majority of the former pro-corruption faction who were qualified to go to the court to listen to the government shrank their heads and betrayed, but a few officials supported Zhao Gonglian regardless of the direction of the wind, and fought fiercely with the group/traitors.

In fact, it is really impossible to find Zhao Gonglian's fault from the words of the fold alone.

Emperor, you don't like people, there are so many officials who hate people, people don't do it anymore, please resign and go home to honor your elders, what is the sin of satisfying your wishes? People don't want to do it, it's not in your way, do you want people to die?

Is this still fair?

Is there still a law of order that a dynasty should have?

This is the end of the heroes who suffered and suffered?

Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, traitors, villains, and mediocre people, but they have merit and a future, and they are powerful?

It's chilling.

Zhao Ji also knew that what he did was not authentic, but the emperor was never wrong.

The country is my country, and I have the final say on everything. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. This is the law of kings through the ages, the law of supreme power.

No matter how meritorious you are, no matter how capable you are, if you don't go my way and make me unhappy, it will be in vain. You're going to be punished.

Zhao Ji himself is not a sharp-edged emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his overall style is that of an art politician who is elegant, soft-eared, and indecisive, but now he is psychopathic, different from the past, and has completely become feminine, vicious and domineering.

He also needs Zhao Gonglian to work hard for him, and he can't help Zhao for a while, but the anger in his heart is about to come out.

As a result, these officials who firmly supported Zhao Gonglian and did not have long eyes became a punching bag.

However, it is not a demotion, a demotion or a crime.

The intention of targeting Zhao Gonglian is too obvious, and it is very likely to provoke Zhao Gonglian to be more discouraged and stop doing it directly, and it is easy to provoke the public opinion of the people in the world to be angry. The majority of officials in the world will also be chilled, and they will become unwilling to seek merit but only no fault, and safety comes first in their lives.

The phenomenon of the bloated number of officials in the Great Song Dynasty and the laziness of their work has become extremely serious, and the situation will continue to deteriorate. The court can't stand it.

Zhao Ji played the most effective means of the emperors of the past dynasties to rectify the backbone of the famous ministers - Ming Sheng, and under the tacit cooperation and advice of Cai Jing and other powerful ministers who understood the gods, these promotions were transferred to the northwest, Shuzhong, East and West Liangguang Road or Fujian Road to serve as the prefect of Zhizhou.

Northern Shaanxi and other northwest regions are always facing the Western Xia troops, the environment is extremely difficult and dangerous, not to mention, the Western Army and the Cangbei Army led by Zhao Gonglian is a competitive balance relationship, before Zhao Gonglian was favored and had a promising future, and the Western Army has a certain friendship with the Western Army, the main generals of the Western Army are all tied to the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty in the near future, the two sides are naturally friendly competition, now Zhao Gonglian is going to be finished, who is still friendly with the Cangzhao Department, who is not only useless but also dangerous, how can the philistine bureaucrats read what kind of friendship, the relationship between the two sides immediately became invisible hostility and hatred, The officials who supported Zhao Gonglian went to the northwest and became officials in the sphere of influence of the Western Army, and the situation can be imagined.

Shuzhong is known as the country of abundance, is the Great Song Dynasty second only to the south of the Yangtze River tax base, said to be a good place, but the terrain there is complex and treacherous, there are many barbarians, the people are fierce, robbers and bandits and thieves have been corrupted over the years, and they are also threatened by the Tufan tribe and the Dali country.

Dali is also relatively strong now, and the king of Dali is the infatuated boy Duan Yu in (Tianlong Babu).

This person is indeed amorous and has many wives, more children, and the number of sons is in tens of units, but he is a rare promising king in the history of Dali, and reorganizes the decay and chaos of Dali, and is friendly and tough to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately now he is old and decayed, and there are many sons but none of them are outstanding, and the struggle for the succession to the throne is fierce and dangerous, and the Dali Kingdom is in political turmoil, but it is particularly tough on the Great Song Dynasty to prevent the Great Song Dynasty conspiracy politicians from taking advantage of the situation to make trouble, and the border armies of the two sides have friction and fighting from time to time.

To be an official in Shuzhong with such a complicated situation, if he can serve in Chengdu, it will naturally be a beautiful difference, but unfortunately it is not.

Zhao Ji and Cai Jing and others are naturally chaotic and dangerous in Shuzhong, so they will transfer those who are honest and honest.

If you have the ability, you survive and govern it well. If you don't have the ability, you'll die. If you don't die, there are no unexpected opportunities in this life, and you can't think of getting out of Shu.

Talented and promising officials in the Great Song Dynasty did not like to serve in Shuzhong.

If you want to be promoted quickly, you have to show your face in front of the leader often, so that the leader is familiar with you, gets used to you, and understands and trusts you.

This is the customary rule of officialdom, which can be called the power theorem. As long as there is a division of official power in human beings, it applies.

Shuzhong is far away from the center, and information is blocked.

As an official there, you can't show yourself in front of the emperor, you can't grasp the situation, you can't keep up with the political situation, you will quickly fall behind, you will be farther and farther away from the core of political power, it will be difficult to become a core official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the ambition of the scholar will come to naught. Shu Dao is difficult, and whether you can come back alive is a question.

Therefore, even if he goes to serve as the highest governor in Shuzhong, he is in power, and in the eyes of officialdom, he is also degraded, his future is not bright, and his career is basically at the top, so that's it. If you don't perform well, or even if you are a little careless, you are very likely to cut off your career and work for several years.

As for Liangguang and Fujian Road.

First of all, that place is far away from the central government, the geographical and climatic environment is complex and sinister, the fierce and uncivilized barbarians are widely spread, the people's livelihood is difficult and dangerous, and there are the same problems as Shuzhong. Because there is an Annan monkey Xiaoba threatening southern Xinjiang, it is more difficult and dangerous than Shuzhong

Secondly, now that piracy is rampant in the southeast, robbing people and property, the Great Song Dynasty is unable to clear and prevent it. It is difficult to have political achievements in any official, not to mention that his life hangs on the blade.

Before, Zheng Juzhong's mastery of Cangzhou was unfavorable, and he asked for an adjustment of the officials of the prefecture, but the following five counties were in violation of the yang and yin, and they could not be moved, which was greatly unfavorable to Zheng Juzhong's search for Cangzhou, and it was not conducive to strangling Cangzhao's business.

Today, the five counties of Cangzhou, from the magistrate, the main officer, the chief officer, the head of the arrest fast to the temporary workers of the yamen, are all people and subordinates from Zheng Juzhong. The original staff, soon after the arrival of Xinzhi County, took the initiative to resign with interest and without grades.

After three engages and five engagements, the political power established by Zhao Gonglian during his time in Cangzhou collapsed. The Cangzhao family's control and influence over the Cangzhou government is gone.

This is exactly what Zhao Ji and Cai Jing and others want to see the most, and their suspicion has been reduced a lot.

However, from a small Beijing official who has the qualifications of the court but does not have much real power to become the governor of the state government, this, no one can say that it is not the promotion and reuse of the imperial court, the officials and people of the world, who do not understand, still think that the emperor still favors Wen Chenghou, so he reuses these practical officials who follow the Hou Ye, and hands over the place that can test the ability and the most can show and prove his talents to the officials who have the same pursuit as Zhao Gonglian to govern.

Zhao Ji mobilized these officials, and the reasons given were also fair and high-sounding: Didn't Zhao Gonglian suggest in the middle of the twists and turns that talented and ambitious Beijing officials should be transferred to the border pass to hone their skills and become great talents, so as to prevent their self-motivation and fighting spirit from being corroded by wealth and prosperity in the capital for a long time?

You see, isn't that exactly following his advice?

Not only did he listen, but he also extended the meaning of his good advice?

Who dares to say that I, the emperor, don't pay attention to Zhao Gonglian and don't trust him?

Since you officials are talented and willing to work hard, since you firmly follow Zhao Gonglian and want to learn from Zhao Gonglian to endure great hardships and establish a great cause, I, the emperor, understand you, and trust your ability and loyalty, and give you a stage to show your ambitions.

I really want to see if you really have iron bones, and you are really hardworking and loyal to the country.

Cai Jing and other traitors were excited, and they all sang with the emperor tacitly, and tried their best to beautify the emperor's viciousness.

These honest officials dared to stand up to the emperor's intentions at this juncture, and they were really bold and fearless of danger, and in the face of the sinister intentions of the emperor and Cai Jing, they accepted the appointment with great regret, and thanked the emperor for giving this opportunity.

For them, the spiritual leader has lost power, if they do not change their will and join the traitorous ministers, then the future days in the capital will be terrible, the hopeless career is still a trivial matter, and they are afraid that their lives will be lost under the conspiracy at any time, at least the small shoes will not be able to wear out, and they will have to be disgusted to death, uncomfortable to death, and angry to death.

In this way, it is better to simply go to a remote area to be a governor, not only to stay away from the dangerous power center, but also to implement his talents and wishes in a down-to-earth manner, do some practical and good things for the people as much as possible, and strive to reverse the bad situation in the local area, so that the Great Song Dynasty has more good morals and righteousness, even if the emperor can't see his loyalty, at least he is worthy of more than ten years of hard study and ambition. I believe that history will also leave a fair judgment.

They're actually gambling, too.

They did not believe that the shrewd, capable, far-sighted, and extremely talented politician Wen Chenghou would suddenly offend the emperor and destroy his future would be a stupid trick of arrogance and youth, and they all firmly believed that Zhao Gonglian's reckless behavior must have profound meaning and must be of great benefit to the longer-term political goal.

None of them are true members of the Cangzhao Group. The Cangzhao clique will not risk revealing the truth to uncontrollable central officials in order to solicit them.

Naturally, they couldn't guess the true intention of Zhao Gonglian's heart, and only guessed all kinds of possibilities.

For example, is it that the emperor Zhao Ji's body collapsed and he couldn't live for a few years, the Hou Ye wanted to get rid of Zhao Ji's status as a favored minister, and set his sights on the successor, and then he could turn over and become the favored minister of the new emperor, and the position of prime minister could be more stable and long-lasting.

For example, is it that the Hou Ye and the emperor are tacitly staging a drama that tests people's hearts?

With the relationship between the marquis and the emperor, this possibility may not be impossible.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Zhao Ji is indeed a smart emperor, but now his personality has changed, and his mind is more unpredictable.

The emperor is good to you, not necessarily really good. What is evil to you is not necessarily true evil. Playing with and testing the hearts of officials is a political game that every emperor must play.

In any case, these officials made a choice and did not regret it.

disposed of these officials, Zhao Ji is a faint pervert, but he also understands that the officials who can still follow Zhao Gonglian on such a cusp are at least backbone and willing to work hard, and they can be used.

arranging for these people to rise to the head of the state capital step by step is also to believe that using these people is more conducive to governing the local area, and can also use distant isolation of Zhao Gonglian's influence and cut off Zhao Gonglian's political power. If these officials are capable and sober-minded and understand how to change, they can also consider being reappointed. If it is not transformed, it will be used as waste.

The Great Song Dynasty understands people, and can naturally see that this is the emperor who began to remove Zhao Gonglian's wings, and sooner or later he will poison Zhao Gonglian.

Subsequently, Cai Jing and the others naturally followed this wind and completely eliminated the other small officials of the Cangzhao family who refused to turn in the capital.

This kind of small role naturally does not work for them, they have a thought, and the thieves below will use their power to throw these petty officials into those border areas as well. This completely did what they wanted, which was conducive to their interests and satisfied the emperor's wishes. Harvest a lot.

The faint kings and traitors were together, and they were all happy for a while.

Only Quan Bangyan still continued to stay in the central government as his master of the three-grade education, still not asking about political affairs, only concerned about education, there is no threat, being ignored, and the emperor who attaches importance to education and makes merits and fame likes to use hard work and ability.
