The next day, that is, the fifth day of February. Zhao Xin had just eaten lunch milk when he got the news: the two governments had prepared the ripe state of the painting yellow and sent it to Zhongshu Province, where it was handed over to the Zhongshu people and the subordinate province for review.

Zhao Xin was overjoyed when he heard this.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the rulers would copy the prepared edicts and pardons on yellow paper.

This is called painting yellow.

Edicts that have been drafted with the king's consent are called familiar.

As for the audit of the Ministry of Men and the Province of Zhongshu, it is just a routine matter.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the institution that really held the power to refute the edict and pardon the order was called Tongjian Yintai Division.

That is the real power department that can make the prime minister bow his head and make the state and county officials of the world tremble.

However, now, this is a virtual reality.

Prime Minister Lu Yijian monopolized the power and left the Tongjian Yintai Division aside, so the people of the time jokingly said that 'the official has the name of refutation, but there is no correction'.

This has also become a focus of Lu Yijian and several prime ministers after him, who have been widely criticized.

The old ministers and ministers of Luoyang, Xijing, did not talk about this matter.

Therefore, in the Jiayou period, the Great Song Dynasty finally restored the right to refute the Yintai Division.

As a result, He Yan, who was a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion at the time, and He Yan, who was a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion and a subordinate of Yintai, and a subordinate of the sect, refuted more than 200 pardons, edicts and dismissal orders that did not conform to the system and law.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but take his hands and paced lightly.

He set himself a small goal - in the near future, to promote and appoint a man of his own to take charge of the current nominal Tongjian Yintai Division.

Prepare for the future and beyond!

In his previous life, at the beginning of his reign, the biggest obstacle came from the Tongjian Yintai Division, who was in charge of the edicts and orders.

As a result, he had no choice but to repeatedly issue edicts and send eunuchs or attendants to carry out his will.

This is certainly possible, but it is very ugly on the face, and it is easy to gossip.

And, when he matured, he realized the benefits of seeing the silver taiji.

That is, this is the sword of Dacles hanging over the heads of the two mansions.

Disobedient, right?

Aiqing's personnel appointments and dismissals, don't even think about passing them!

What's more, the deacons can't say anything yet.

See that the Yintai Division refutes any unreasonable and unorthodox pardon and dismissal orders, this is the ancestral system, the ancestral law!

It is also something that is recognized and accepted by the government and the opposition of the Great Song Dynasty.

And when a deacon can't even use one of his own people, he has no choice but to bow his head and submit to softness, and he has only one way to go.

And this is the fastest and most convenient way for the Great Song Dynasty to grasp power.

It's a pity that since Zhenzong, two successive generations of emperors have lingered on the sickbed.

Seeing the Yintai Division, it has become a dispensable institution.

But this also gave Zhao Xin a chance.

It's just that......

"Who's better to use?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel worried.

He is really poor and white now, empty-handed.

The name is Guogong, but there is no one available.

Xu Xi? It's just a medical officer, his medical skills are really good, and his apprenticeship is also very good, but he can't be an official.

Yang Huaimin? Come on! What's more, he's just a eunuch and a minister.

Fubi?

He is the son-in-law of Yan Shu, the third envoy, and he is also the right Zhengyan Zhiyuan.

Zhao Xin knew in his heart that Fu Bi would respect him and fear him, but he would not listen to him in everything.

Fu Bi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang...... Each of these famous ministers he was familiar with in his previous life was a very characterful, very temperamental, and very principled person.

Such people can be used and cooperated, but they want to be tamed and turn them into a Vino man who obeys everything.

How can it be?

Even if they die, they won't become like that.

Therefore, Zhao Xin has to find someone who has no principles, no position, no character, and no temper.

But at the same time, they must also be capable, can do things, and can cope with various situations.

In addition, the qualifications and official ranks must also be met, at least not to gossip.

That's a bit of a stretch.

This is like the green tea of later generations, who want their spare tire to be tall and handsome, rich and capricious, and always on call, never taking off the order.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Xin did not find a suitable candidate.

In fact, those few people he thinks may be available are basically the same as him now, wearing open crotch pants!

And now the ministers in the court, to be honest, except for those future famous ministers and important ministers, there are few that he knows and is familiar with.

As a result, Zhao Xin was also helpless, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being, waiting for the future to slowly find a suitable candidate.

And just when Zhao Xin was thinking, a dressed beauty came to Chunfang in front of the hug.

When Zhao Xin saw her, he was a little stunned.

"Empress Wencheng Zhang......" Zhao Xin whispered in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, revealing a smiling face: "Hello Zhang Niangniang!" ”

"Hey!" The beauty smiled tactfully, and her pretty face was like a flower, which made the palace maids in this hall bow their heads in shame.

The person who came is the most favored concubine of the Great Song Dynasty today, and it is also the heart of today's official family, so that in the future, after the favorite concubine died of illness, Zhao Xin's father disregarded the law and system, and posthumously named her the queen, and buried it in the future.

As a result, there was a lot of uproar, saliva and gossip flew together.

The famous Bao Gong Baolong diagram almost didn't get sick.

However, the moment he saw this Zhang Cairen, Zhao Xin suddenly remembered.

Isn't there just one person who is perfect for being his marionette?

Zhang Yaozuo, the uncle of Zhang Niangniang, was the future envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui of the Great Song Dynasty.

First of all, Zhang Yaozuo's qualifications are sufficient.

He is a jinshi, although Zhang Yaozuo's jinshi is a bit unworthy of the name - his jinshi belongs to the special science jinshi.

It's roughly the difference between Berkeley and Berkeley's California Branch.

The former is a world-famous school, and the latter can give money.

But, no matter what, Jinshi is Jinshi!

Secondly, Zhang Yaozuo is very interesting, knows how to advance and retreat, and is measured.

For example, in his previous life, Zhang Yaozuo wanted to learn from other Bianjing magnates and catch a real Jinshi son-in-law for himself.

So when the imperial examination was held during the reign of Emperor You, he went to catch his son-in-law under the list, and caught Feng Jing.

Where is Feng Jing willing to do it?

I resolutely refuse!

Zhang Yaozuo had no choice but to let Feng Jing go.

After Feng Jing went back, he was afraid that he was the national abbot, so when he was in the palace test, he played a trick and moved the two points of water in front of his name back and changed it to Ma Liang.

This is the source of the famous allusion to mistaking Feng Jing for Ma Liang.

After that, Feng Jing rose to prominence and rose step by step, and this story became more and more outrageous.

But in fact, Zhang Yaozuo is really going to be iron-hearted, Feng Jing is afraid that he is really going to become Ma Liang, cool and cool!

In the end, Zhang Yaozuo has good ability, he has been a magistrate, he has also served as a power governor in Kaifeng Mansion, and he has also served as a third envoy.

When he was an official, not to mention his outstanding political achievements, at least he didn't make any trouble, but he rehabilitated many people.

It's just that......

Zhao Xin still has some scruples and fears.

It is Queen Cao who is jealous, and what she is afraid of is the Zhang Niangniang in front of her.

Therefore, after weighing it in his heart, he planned not to be in a hurry for the first time, but to test and test it first.
