[Ran^文^Library][]. []. [com] The border of the Great Song Dynasty was in constant trouble, but the court in Bianjing City was not at all more peaceful than the border. 【For more exciting, please visit】

After the beginning of winter, the Zhiyuan and the Imperial Historical Observatory suddenly had several speech officials jointly impeach Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty, that is, Li Qingzhao's father-in-law, and there were a lot of reasons for impeachment.

The speech official is a specially set up official by the imperial court to pick and scold people, not only often find trouble with the prime minister and officials, but even the emperor dares to write directly if he doesn't like it.

This kind of official is equivalent to the trolls of later generations, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, the trolls of the Song Dynasty are really sprays, no matter what you do, they can also pick out and scold you. The most famous of the trolls of the Song Dynasty is the famous Bao Qingtian, Bao Zheng.

At the beginning, Bao Zheng was a scholar of Longtuge University, and he was the boss of all trolls (speech officials), once Emperor Renzong argued with him about something, and Emperor Renzong, who was sprayed directly by Bao Zheng's old man, was wet and foaming, until Emperor Renzong wiped his face full of Lao Bao's spit several times, and Lao Bao did not collect it...... In the end, it was Renzong who apologized to him, and he stopped.

Fortunately, Emperor Renzong respected Lao Bao very much and did not blame him. In fact, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty were very indulgent to speech officials, and would not engage in the court staff of the Ming Dynasty to insult officials, and the privilege of speech officials was to scold people, and they would not be convicted for their words.

This is the so-called "criticism is meaningless if it is not free"!

Almost any prime minister of the Song Dynasty has been impeached by the officials for various reasons.

Originally, Zhao Xianggong just thought that this impeachment was the same as before, after he submitted his resignation, and then the official family approved the retention, and he was not allowed to resign, and he twisted his bottom and pretended to be in the past, even if this matter was over, he would still be his prime minister.

But this time, to Zhao Tingzhi's surprise, the official not only agreed to his resignation, but also demoted himself to the field very angrily!

This made Zhao Tingzhi dumbfounded, but when he learned that the person who took over his position as prime minister was Cai Jing, he immediately understood.

All of this is Cai Jing making trouble behind his back, I am afraid that the official family he has already provoked will lose his trust, so the official family will ruthlessly remove him.

But Zhao Tingzhi realized that it was too late, it was his own negligence, and now he could only pack up his baggage and leave Bianjing obediently, in order to make a comeback.

Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi was finally replaced by Cai Jing, the new prime minister took the throne, and the next court inevitably had a big purge, all officials who were close to Zhao Tingzhi were demoted to other places, and some officials with ambiguous attitudes were also demoted, and the remaining vacant seats and important positions were naturally left to their own people.

Tong Guan and Cai Jing are also in the same camp, and this time Cai Jing took the position, thanks to Tong Guan's constant good words for him in front of the officials, and in return, Tong Guan won the position of generalissimo of the three armies of the Great Song Dynasty as he wished.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan, these two traitorous ministers, controlled the government with one article and one martial arts, and for a time the court was dark, and the people's opinions on this were also very large, and the Bianjing Daily had published articles criticizing Cai Jing and Tong Guan for several days in a row, and the two had to promote a group of neutral officials under the pressure of public opinion.

Among these officials, there was a new branch jinshi named Qin Hui, who was favored by Cai Jing because of his good handwriting, so when he was assigned to various places as a local petty official in the same year, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites as the chief secretary of a certain department.

It's a promising future.

In addition to the original few high-powered deputy ministers, all the ministries have been replaced, but there is a department of Shangshu, which is still vacant until the end.

The vacant is the household Shangshu, Shangshu is equivalent to the ministerial-level high-ranking officials in later generations, although the position of this Shangshu is vacant, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to fight the idea of this position, because everyone knows that this position is reserved by the official family for someone in advance.

No one dared to touch it.

Everyone is waiting, they are not waiting for the legendary Shangshu to take office, they are waiting for a major event in the palace.

Canonization of the Empress.

Although the official family of the court was uninhibited and romantic, after the biological mother of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, Queen Li, died of illness a few years ago, there was no queen in the palace, and all the affairs of the harem were taken care of by a few concubines.

It is said that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem cannot be without a queen for too long, sometimes a ceremony or something is held, and the emperor and the queen must be present together to be grand.

The matter of canonizing the queen, the courtiers persuaded the official family for several years, and every year the official family did everything possible to prevaricate, according to the official family's personal eunuch Tong Guan, the official family could not forget his Empress Li, so gradually the ministers had to give up.

It seems that the notorious Song Huizong in history also had times of infatuation.

Who knew that at the end of this autumn, the official family suddenly called a meeting of several ministers and told them that they were going to establish the queen!

Moreover, the official family has already decided on the candidate for the queen, who is one of the three major concubines in the palace, Murong Guifei.

Originally, Murong Guifei has always been quite virtuous, she has the best personnel in the harem, and she is the adoptive mother who raised Queen Li's daughter and the seventh princess, and you have no objection to Murong Guifei being the queen, after all, it is the emperor's family affair, if it is not violated, the emperor is happy.

Who knows, the official family is asking the princesses questions on the surface, but secretly they are hinting at the princesses, Queen Murong also has an elder brother who is the prefect of Qingzhou, and he has managed Qingzhou very well in recent years, not only exterminated the thieves several times, but also restored peace to the people. And Qingzhou's tax revenue this year is nearly double that of previous years!

With such a glorious political achievement, can he be promoted to the level of an official in the ministry exceptionally?

Regarding this hint from the official family, all the ministers expressed their opinions, and Murong Guifei's elder brother Murong Yanda's political achievements are obvious to all, and he is a capable official, which is recognized by everyone. But jumping directly from the position of Zhizhou to the six Shangshu, does it still need to be experienced?

Why don't you transfer to the household department to be a waiter first?

Of course, the ministers did not say anything to death, and there is still room for negotiation if they are directly promoted to Shangshu.

The imperial power of the Song Dynasty was actually not as invincible as in later generations, and it was very constrained by the prime minister and ministers, and there were some things that the emperor could not force if the prime minister did not agree. Therefore, a faint monarch like Song Huizong helped his brother-in-law go through the back door, and he had to discuss it with the prime ministers.

However, at this time, Zhao Tingzhi, who was still the prime minister, refused the request of the official family, he was an upright and unyielding person, and his reason was very simple, that is, he thought that Murong Yanda was not qualified enough, and the span from Zhizhou to Hubu Shangshu was too large.

There are nearly 100 state capitals in the Great Song Dynasty, and a state governor is equivalent to a prefecture-level city mayor in later generations, and the six Shangshu are not just as simple as the ministers of state departments in later generations, a Shangshu at least leads several state departments, and is directly promoted from Zhizhou to six Shangshu, which is equivalent to the direct promotion of bureau-level cadres to vice-state-level senior officials in later generations.

I have to say that Zhao Xianggong is a decent person, but it is precisely because of his decency that Cai Jing saw the opportunity, so he moved him down and replaced him.

After Cai Jing ascended the throne, he naturally vigorously catered to the official family to support Murong Yanda as the head of the household, so his position was specially reserved for Murong Yanda, and after he was officially canonized as the queen, he recruited Murong Yanda to come to Bianjing to serve.

For the doubters, Cai Jing's answer was very simple: "Uncle Tangguo, what happened to being the head of the household department?" What's wrong?! ”

Cai Jing is worthy of being an old fritter, and his remarks not only carried the black pot for the official family, but also brought along the way that the future uncle of the country could be justified as the head of the household department, and the official family and Murong Yanda will be grateful to him in the future.

"Murong Yanda has been promoted to the head of the household!"

This news was tied to the little red leg of the carrier pigeon, and it also drifted to Qingzhou with the wind.
