Bianjing.

The imperial city has also been taken over by Lao Bao according to the Great Song Law. With one exception: the Shangqing Palace.

It is the dojo of the twenty-eighth generation of heavenly masters canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a landmark building of the imperial city, representing the prosperity of Taoism in the Great Song Dynasty.

During this period, the emperor did not care about affairs, and had been studying the so-called Dan Dao technique in an attempt to prolong his life. The reason why this place is special is because it is guarded by Chief Manager Chen, and Ouyang Xiu came to Shangqing Palace to see the emperor before, and some people believe what Old Ouyang said, which is why everyone can't confirm what happened to the emperor.

But Bao Zheng only believed in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and only believed in himself, so in the end he still made a mistake.

This evening, the Shangqing Palace has also been surrounded, Lao Chen pretended to be strong in martial arts, stopped at the door and said that no one was allowed to move, and also held an embroidery needle to show off.

However, after Bao Zheng, who had long wanted to invite Mr. Chen to drink tea, gave an order, in view of the fact that Lao Chen had offended Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao before, Lao Chen, who claimed to be the first in the world, was miserable this time, and his nose and face were swollen by the three peerless masters of Lao Liao Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, and the embroidery needle was also confiscated as a murder weapon.

Without waiting to break in, suddenly, the gate of the antique Shangqing Palace made of mahogany opened, and Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a yellow robe and was not in good spirits, walked out slowly and held the door, silently looking at everyone.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ...... "Everyone changed color when they saw it, and they suddenly knelt on the ground."

Bao Zheng was also taken aback, he decided in advance that the emperor had an accident or was kidnapped by a villain, so he made a mistake, but now he saw Zhao Zhen appear with his own eyes, so Lao Bao was stunned and said: "Why is the official family making such a fuss?" ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand lazily, didn't answer, and looked up at the afterglow of the sunset to think, it seems that the world is still my world, and it hasn't been messed up yet.

It's just that Zhao Zhen, who has a hunch that his body is not as good as before, doesn't know how much time he still has, some memories and reluctance, he has been in power for so many years, and he used to be very passionate about making great efforts, but now, the afterglow he sees is not the light of the empire, and the Great Song Dynasty is still groping in the dark, and the politics are relatively chaotic.

Bao Zheng has been standing beside the emperor for a while, but seeing that Lao Zhao has not spoken, Bao Zheng couldn't help but say: "The official family said something, the old minister is not complaining about the official family's Qing Xiu, just because the emperor's affairs are not private affairs, but state affairs." ”

"Did anyone die during this time?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked with a strange expression.

Bao Zhengleng said: "The people that the minister knows are not dead, and the people who the minister doesn't know are hard to say." ”

"That's good, what about the queen, is she polite?" Zhao Zhen asked again.

Bao Zheng was flustered again, and he didn't know what Lao Zhao meant, so he had to shake his head and say: "The minister doesn't know what the official family means, but the old minister didn't find out that the queen had violated the law." ”

"What about Tongtian Sect Master Lu Chunyang?" Zhao Zhen asked again.

"He and the queen mother are close, but this doesn't mean anything, Lu Chunyang is the master of the queen's brother Cao Tong, and he did this a long time ago." Bao Zheng said rigorously.

"What else is going on?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"The emperor of Liao has died, and there is no news of the new emperor ascending the throne so far, the direction of the hegemony is still confusing, and there is no official letter of state to our dynasty to ask for condolences." Bao Zheng told the truth.

In this regard, Zhao Zhen's color changed slightly, and he muttered: "It's really a star change...... There is something big going on in the royal family...... Could it be that Lu Chunyang's prophecy is really ......?"

Bao Zheng interrupted: "What the official family said is too chasing after the wind, although the old minister had also heard about the star change earlier. ”

"It's so good." Zhao Zhen said with a strange expression, "Now Lu Chunyang has really become a half-immortal, my Great Song Dynasty has always advocated Taoism, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital are basically having affairs with Taoist priests, is Lu Chunyang considered a success in entering Beijing?" ”

"It seems...... Can't say they have a problem either? Bao Zheng said.

"Did I say there was something wrong with them?" Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically.

Bao Zheng said unconvinced: "The old minister is not here to raise the bar with the official, but to clarify the facts, the old minister cares about the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family does not need to target the old minister." ”

"You ......" Zhao Zhen was angry again, and hesitated for a moment and said, "I wanted to scold you, but after thinking about it, it would seem stingy." And now it seems that you have done a good job, you have played your part. ”

"As a hand-picked Tokyo guard appointed by the official family, the old minister should be, and the official family does not need to say anything special." Bao Zheng said.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Except for the queen, who does Lu Chunyang come into contact with?" ”

Bao Zheng said truthfully: "As far as the minister knows, he has had contact with Wen Yanbo, but that doesn't explain anything. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't want to raise the bar with him, and asked again: "Bao Zheng, you answer me, did Yan Bo give you advice on taking over the capital and the imperial city?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "No, this is the old minister's own judgment, and then execute." However, Wen Yanbo persuaded the minister to lift the state several times, and also said that the minister was possessed by Han Qi, and the minister ignored him. The minister also arrested Zhang Congxun, he is the person of the rich minister, although the rich minister is dissatisfied, he has not blamed the minister. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned a little when he heard Wen Yanbo's matter, and when he heard Fu Bi's complexion softened slightly, he secretly thought: It is worthy of me to protect this guy at that time, although Fu Bi is concerned with interests, he is still sober.

Bao Zheng said again: "Zhang Cong trained him ......"

Zhao Zhen interrupted lightly: "I don't care, what did Wang Anshi and Jia Changchao do?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Jia Changchao didn't show up, Wang Anshi confirmed the authority of the left-behind division after listening to the minister's statement, and sent his henchman Lao Liao to supervise the left-behind division throughout the process. He had some disagreements with the minister, but he generally supported the minister's entry into the Shangqing Palace. ”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "What about Han Jiang?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "At that time, the queen did not agree with the old minister's approach, and asked Han Jiang to intervene in the investigation as the mother of the country, but after Han Jianghui discussed with the old minister and Wang Anshi, he supported the jurisdiction of the Left-behind Division and maintained the national martial law of the Privy Council. ”

Zhao Zhen was silent and muttered: "It's all okay, Wen Yanbo can't be mixed up......"

Bao Zheng said: "Please make it clear to the official, what is the confusion?" ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but say dejectedly: "Why haven't you seen Wang Yan?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "The old minister doesn't look at Xiao Baiwen. ”

"Learning is endless, don't you understand that you keep pace with the times?" Zhao Zhen said.

Bao Zheng said unashamedly: "Back to the official's house, the old minister has completed his studies, and when he is old, he can't continue to do so, so he doesn't need to learn other methods." ”

"You ......" Zhao Zhen was depressed again, and finally didn't want to raise the bar with him, so he had to order: "Bao Zheng passed on my will on behalf of him, and avoided Wen Yanbo's Zhongshu Pingzhang." ”

Bao Zheng couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly admonished: "Please be cautious, there is nothing wrong with Wen Yanbo's husbandry, and it is absolutely unfavorable to the political stability of our dynasty to resign for no reason at this critical time." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't want to say that he didn't play a role, in fact, the prodigy and Wang Anshi have already had a strategy in advance: just because he doesn't do things, he won't make mistakes." ”

Bao Zheng said: "The old minister admonishes again, this is not a reason to dismiss the prime minister." ”

"What about the stars? Isn't he a believer, the star change really happened, Lu Chunyang was right. Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"This ......"

Bao Zheng is stupid, the emperor is a bit of a hooligan Long Aotian posture, but this is really a reason to dismiss the prime minister in the Great Song tradition, or it should be called "avoidance". The emperor didn't say that Wen Yanbo was wrong, but now that everyone believes in Taoist Feng Shui, the Great Song Dynasty has this tradition, so after the star change, Wen Yanbo avoided suspicion, and no one refuted it.

"Old minister...... Compliance. Bao Zheng looked even older, and agreed in a low voice, "Then who can lead the dynasty in this critical period to the right place?" ”

"Jia Chang dismissed the privy envoy. Fu Bi was appointed as the Pingzhang Affairs of Zhongshu Menxia, Han Jiang was appointed as the Governor of the Political Affairs, and Wang Anshi was transferred to the Privy Council, and Han Qi was urgently summoned back to Beijing to serve as the Privy Envoy. So be it. Zhao Zhen looked sleepy after speaking.

Bao Zheng's eyes were full of stars when he heard this, such a big high-level personnel change was an earthquake, but unfortunately it had its logic and reasons.

There is no doubt that Wen Yanbo and Jia Chang have been shot by Xingchang. Fu Bi is a man of steel and softness, and he can be regarded as upright, and there is an excess, and his promotion from vice minister to prime minister is completely in line with the logic of officialdom.

Wang Anshi was originally the same as the Privy Council, and the governing power is equivalent to an apprenticeship, and there will be no moths after the apprenticeship, and it is a matter of time before "turning positive", which is also considered a normal excess.

Han Jiang was the same, it was considered meritorious, so he was promoted one level to fill the vacancy.

Han Qi's matter will be controversial and backlash, but Han Qi's head is quite iron, his prestige is not ordinarily high, and he belongs to the type that may be refrigerated forever, but it will not be strange for everyone to suddenly take on any position.

Bao Zheng didn't do anything about this, the real offensive team has been formed by the emperor, and starting from Chen Zhizhong's resignation, there is time to ferment, and there is the transition of Wen Yanbo and Jia Chang Dynasty, so politically, this cannot be regarded as abrupt.

Chen Zhizhong's looseness was excessive to the semi-looseness of Wen Yanbo's period, and now it is used as a reason for star change, and then the excessive tightening of Fubi, coupled with Han Qi's hawkish thinking assistance, it is not too sharp to say that this is not too sharp a turn, and the centrifugal force is not small, but it is not enough to cause wrestling.

Bao Zheng frowned and thought that the emperor was leaving, and said, "The official family stays." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't want the old man to nag anymore, so he asked first: "Bao Zheng, what is the basis for you to take over the capital and the imperial city this time?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "It is some things that happened during Wang Yan's envoy to Western Xia, he sorted it out and wrote a letter to Zhanzhao to take it to the capital to ask the old minister to intervene." ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said: "In addition to being a prodigy, he is also a lucky general, he can always deal with and expose some problems in a timely manner...... Passing on my will, Wang Yan added the official title of Chao Sanlang, and added Dr. Guozijian. ”

Bao Zheng suddenly expressed disbelief with a black line on his face: "The official said that he had merit, said that he was a good general, and the minister did not object...... However, judging by the wording and calligraphy of the letters he wrote to his ministers, he ...... Why can't he be the doctor of Guozijian? ”

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said, "I also think what you said makes sense, so ...... Let's talk about the story of the Chongzheng Palace. ”

Bao Zheng said: "This seems to be half a level higher than Dr. Guozijian?" If the old minister is not mistaken. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, Guozijian doesn't want him, I want him, Fukang Diji and I like to listen to him tell stories." ”

"This ...... Fearing that he will not be able to convince the public, he has not yet returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he has not seen any diplomatic achievements? Bao Zheng said.

"I don't say that he has diplomatic merits, but in the two years since he took office, he has turned the impoverished Funing County into the second county in the world, and his income is second only to Kaifeng County, is this fake? I feel that his training is over, and there is no need to wait for the three-year assessment of Zhongshu to summon him back to Beijing to take up his post. Zhao Zhen sighed.

Lao Bao thought that this was the only way, Wen Yanbo, who was most opposed to the child's promotion too quickly, had stepped down due to the star change, and so many positions had changed greatly this time, and there was a Wang Yan fishing in troubled waters, so it would not attract too much attention.

After YY was finished, seeing that the emperor was going in again, Bao Zheng said again: "The official family should not be addicted, and the government affairs that have been abandoned for a long time should be taken a look and sorted out." ”

"I'm very tired, leaving this Shangqing Palace, Lao Jue is restless, his thinking is not clear, as if his thoughts will follow someone, his mind is full of lustful thoughts and his body can't bear it, I don't want to leave now, otherwise I won't live long." Zhao Zhen said.

Bao Zheng looked at Lao Chen, but saw that Manager Chen nodded slightly, but he was serious. Bao Zheng couldn't help but be frightened and wondered, could it be that there were really demons in the imperial city?

Thinking so, Bao Zheng felt that the birthmark on his forehead seemed to be faintly shining.

Khan, Lao Bao is nicknamed Bao Longxin, I remember when I was a child, there was an old grandfather who said that Lao Bao had a dragon heart, and all evils would not invade anything, and what could he say that he could dream of a magic machine to solve strange cases, and he didn't know if it was true or false?

Shaking his head, Bao Zheng couldn't say anything, he was not a master or a prime minister, and it was inconvenient to twist with the emperor too much. If the emperor doesn't come out to govern, he wants to hide in the Shangqing Palace to engage in feudal superstitious activities and pray for longevity, which no one can do about him.

Bao Zheng didn't believe in these, but almost the entire Great Song Dynasty believed in it, especially after Lu Chunyang's star change prophecy was fulfilled, Taoist priests became more active in Bianjing. It seems that the homes of those dignitaries and nobles seem to be popular, and almost all of them have a mage town, which is a fact.

Bao Zheng had to leave for the time being, and since the emperor had already appeared, and Bao Zheng had confirmed it with his own eyes in the presence of everyone, the state of emergency in the Tokyo Left-behind Division would naturally be automatically lifted......
