At this time, Zhao Jing couldn't care about being modest, and immediately expressed his willingness to take over the burden of the prime minister at the time of the country's crisis.

The emperor was very satisfied, his eyes were also full of trust and expectation, and encouraged Zhao Jing to say, you do it well, I will watch it.

However, just a few days after Zhao Jing was in the prime minister's office, Wei Gao, Wei Gao, the envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu, Gao Gu, the envoy of the Xingyuan Jiedu, Wang Li, and Liu Changqing, the envoy of the Ba Kui Section, also collectively played a concert to protest against the dismissal of Gao Yuepingzhang, and the rhetoric was very intense.

Gao Gu begged the imperial court to allow him to give up the position of the envoy of Jiedu and let Gao Yue sit in Xingyuan Mansion again;

And Wei Gao said, the imperial court is not afraid of Huaixi Cai thief so, as long as His Majesty nods, Gao is willing to lead an army, from Shu to the river road, out of Jingnan, Eyue, to conquer Wu Shaocheng, will cut off the head of Cai thief, hanging above the sky.

In the end, even Zheng Qi, the Fujian observer, also went to the recital, saying that if Gao Yue committed illegal things, he should be blamed for being deposed, but the imperial court now deposed him, but there is no suitable reason, so to tolerate Fang Zhen's domineering, the minister is deeply worried, and the minister is willing to offer Quanzhou's money to help the court to ask for the needs of the thief, and implore His Majesty to reinstate Gao Yueguan.

Soon in the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, the emperor summoned all the ruling ministers, and arranged the recitals presented by Jiannan, Xingyuan, Fengxiang, and Fujian, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Zhao Jing immediately understood that these Fang towns were dissatisfied with him replacing Gao Yue as the prime minister! So he got up in his seat and asked the emperor again that he was willing to resign from the Zhongshu Shilang and ask His Majesty to reinstate Gao Yue.

"Don't be like this, ministers, I don't doubt it." The emperor hurriedly comforted Zhao Jing, and then he put forward an idea, why not issue an edict to forgive Huaixi, Ziqing, and Weibo, in order to seek peace in the world, how about it?

"......" Zhao Jing didn't have time to say anything.

Over there, Lu Zhen and Du Huangshang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ziqing Li Shigu and Wei Bo Tianxu can still be lenient, but Wu Shaocheng in Huaixi is the most rebellious and ferocious, if the imperial court increases leniency without principle, it will definitely lose its prestige." ”

At this time, the emperor thought about it, and asked Pei Yanling in a loud voice, can the three divisions of the imperial court still support the war against Huaixi?

Pei Yanling blinked his eyes, he wanted to lie, saying that the treasury had no money, but Du Huangsheng of the sub-household department stood majestically on the side, where could he fake it in front of everyone? He could only be honest with the emperor: last year's pacification of Yuanyi in Zhaozhou, coupled with the consumption of the Uighurs, the three divisions still had a surplus.

In this way, for Wei Bo and Ziqing, the imperial court will make a system to collect snow and forgiveness; As for Huaixi, the army did not withdraw, and Dong Jin was used as a solicitor to fight Wu Shaocheng. ”

At this time, the emperor also said that every time there is a war in the world, he will let the Zhongshu Shilang carry the pen Jinluan Palace, command the military affairs, and the other prime ministers will divide the Shangshu Province, and form a rule since the time of Gaoyue, I think it is very convenient, and from now on, I will also invite Zhao Jing to come to the Jinluan Palace to implement the story.

Zhao Jing had no choice, so he could only stay that night and be on duty in the West Hall of the Jinluan Palace.

In the hall, the Hanlin scholars, privy envoys, and many scholars from the Zhongshu Province were all busy, and the emperor in the East Hall also sent the lieutenants from time to time to inquire about the news of the various provinces, and instructed how to deal with it.

The bell rang endlessly, but Zhao Jing, who was sitting in the center, was dizzy, because the emperor didn't consult him about everything, and he didn't know what everyone was busy with and what they were doing, so he could only turn into a "wordless tablet" and stay in the west hall silently.

As the days passed, the emperor soon ushered in the birthday of the emperor, so he summoned the important ministers to a banquet in the Lin De Palace, and at the same time announced an amnesty to the world, persuaded Ziqing Li Shigu and Chengde Wang Wujun to stop the war and make peace, and at the same time asked Wei Bo Tianxu to withdraw his troops from Zhaozhou and return to the town.

Soon, Li Shigu shook hands with Wang Wujun on the side of the Yellow River on the condition of destroying Sanyang City, but retaining the possession of the Clam Salt Pond, and then led their respective armies to strike.

After Wei Bo Tianxu made a small fuss, he saw that the soldiers and horses of Fang Hun Xuan and Wang Qianxiu of the imperial court had arrived in Linwei, so he also accepted the court's Deyin and forgiveness, and ordered Nie Feng and Xing Caojun to withdraw their troops.

However, the emperor only did not pardon Wu Shaocheng of Huaixi.

Not only that, the emperor also ordered that Liu Chang, the old general of Xuanwu, together with Zhang Wanfu and Ling Hujian, lead 10,000 Shenwei Palace's rear army to Xuzhou to assist Quhuan in dealing with Wu Shaocheng.

Wu Shaocheng of Caizhou City was very angry, and he said that he would go all out to join forces to deal with the imperial court, but the emperor's edict of pardon, whether you Wei Bo or Ziqing, were all helpless?

"Tian Xu and Li Shigu are both house guards, and when they saw that the imperial court had deposed Gao Yue and the situation was no longer urgent, they relaxed again." Li Yuanping explained to Wu Shaocheng.

Wu Shaocheng asked angrily, what should I do if I am still alone on the stove in Huaixi?

Li Yuanping said don't worry, now is the time for me to play my strategy!

During the emperor's birthday banquet, the prince sent a pure gold Buddha statue to his father as a congratulatory gift in the Shaoyang Courtyard, and when the celebration was over, the emperor called Wei Zhiyi, who was on duty in the East Academy, "Zhiyi, this Buddha statue is still missing a praise, you can write it for me." ”

Wei Zhiyi didn't dare to slack off, splashed ink on the spot, and wrote praise.

The emperor was very satisfied with it, and said that the bachelor should be rewarded, but this reward should not be given by me, the Buddha statue was sent by the prince, and the bachelor should go to the Shaoyang Academy, so that the prince could reward the bachelor.

"How dare you." Wei Zhiyi was sincerely frightened and hurriedly refused.

The emperor laughed, stretched out his hand, stroked Wei Zhiyi's back very gently, and whispered: "You Taishan is now serving as a servant in the court, and you are a bachelor of Hanyuan, after the future prince ascends the throne, he will have to rely on your father and son, and now the prince can become friends with a young man like you, which is where my hard work lies!" ”

So Wei Zhiyi could only hold the praise in his hand and came to the building of Shaoyang Academy.

Hearing the visit of the Hanlin Chengzhi Scholar, the prince was also very happy, first asked Wang Zhongyan, the envoy of the Shaoyang Academy, to take 30 pieces of fine splendid cloth to thank Wei Zhiyi, and then the prince personally sat in the middle hall and talked with Wei Zhiyi.

At first, both of them were a little restrained, sitting opposite each other, and there was silence for a long time.

The crown prince has lived in seclusion in Shaoyang Courtyard for a long time, and it is difficult to see real courtiers.

As for Wei Zhiyi, he knew that the prince couldn't interfere in the government at all, and he didn't know what to talk about with the prince.

So naturally, the topic turned to Gao Yue, the guest of the new crown prince.

After all, Wei Zhiyi is half of Gao Yue's protégé.

As a result, when Gao Yue was mentioned, the prince's tears fell, and he said, "Ji Gong dismissed the prime minister, how could it be Your Majesty's heart, but he was forced by the situation and endured the pain." ”

Wei Zhiyi also shook his head and sighed silently.

At this moment, behind the curtain in the middle hall, a hearty and passionate voice suddenly sounded, "Your Highness, Prime Minister, is it time to sit and sigh?" If His Royal Highness is really worried, he should play the Holy Lord and let Ji Gong be the prime minister for the second time! ”

Wei Zhiyi was surprised and wondered, who was this person who had no etiquette at all in the Shaoyang Courtyard where the prince lived, and openly made such remarks......
