Early in the morning, Gao Yu hurried to the gate of Yanfu Palace, he seemed very interested, since he beheaded the commander of the Jingzhao army in the capital, Tong Guan's arrogance was completely suppressed.

In particular, the official family has lost patience with Tong Guan's repeated troubles, and finally dismissed Tong Guan from his position as privy councillor ten days ago, and appointed himself as the head of the Privy Council, so that he can go to the next level in terms of military power.

It has always been a common practice for the privy envoy to be concurrently served by the deputy minister, but because the official family had a compressed phase ten years ago, the two positive and four deputy were compressed into two positive and two deputies, and the Privy Council was decoupled from the phase, and now the official family seems to have decided to restore the two main and four deputies, and there are already countless pairs of eyes staring at the two new deputy ministers, and Gao Yu is of course no exception.

Today, Gao Yu is here to report to the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji about the victory in Gyeongju, Li Yanqing has quelled the rebellion of the Black Party, and the report was handed over to the imperial court in duplicate, one was handed over to the military department as the same governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and then the military department submitted it to the Zhizheng Hall, and the other report was handed over to the Privy Council as the commander of the Jingzhao army.

But in order to win over Gao Yu, Cai Jing hinted that the Privy Council would report to the Son of Heaven first, and he pressed this report in the Zhizheng Hall, of course, there is also the meaning of containing Wang Huang, Wang Huang is in charge of the border aliens, this report should be reported to the Son of Heaven, but it must be reported after the Zhizheng Hall is approved, Cai Jing delayed for half a day and gave this opportunity to the Privy Council.

How could Gao Yu not understand Cai Jing's overtures, as a reciprocat, he had to properly protect Linde, the governor of Qingzhou, fortunately, Li Yanqing gave Linde a lot of good words in the report, and he could also be a favor.

Gao Yu is especially satisfied with Li Yanqing, after Liu Yanqing was deposed, he lacked capable cadres, Li Yanqing was originally a person who planted the master's way, and the planter completely retired, and there was no one above Li Yanqing, and Gao Yu also knew that Yao Pingzhong, the head of Hedong Road, was a person who was Tong Guan, and the relationship with Li Yanqing had been poor.

Although Gao Yu also knows that the relationship between Li Yanqing and Liang Shicheng is not ordinary, but Gao Yu understands Liang Shicheng, with Liang Shicheng's coldness, he will not regard anything as his henchmen, he and Li Yanqing are just using each other's relationship, and he and Li Yanqing are not the same, even if Li Yanqing can't be his confidant, it's not bad to be pulled to a front, in the final analysis, Li Yanqing is the prince's person, how can such a person lie dormant under him, and it's almost the same to form an alliance.

Especially after the Yanshan Mansion and Guo Yaoshi took refuge in Tong Guan, Gao Yu also felt that he had to exert his strength in the outer state capitals.

After waiting in front of the palace gate for a while, an old eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Captain Gao, the official family has summoned, please come with me!" ”

"Trouble the princess!"

Gao Yu followed the old eunuch named Wang An into the palace, and walked to a place with few people, Gao Yu slipped his hand and stuffed a pearl into the old eunuch's hand, the old eunuch knew it, and with a turn of his finger, the pearl disappeared.

"Captain Gao is lucky, the official family has been in a good mood in the past two days, but I ate an ice drink yesterday, and my stomach was a little cold, and the ginseng tea two days ago was a little lighter, and the official family was a little dissatisfied."

The old eunuch Wang An is the personal eunuch of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, and knows Zhao Ji's diet well.

Gao Yu immediately understood, "Princess, there is a thousand-year-old ginseng tree in my house, since the official family is a little weak, it is better for me to honor the official family!" ”

"Huh! Taiwei cares so much about the official's body, the official family will be very happy when he knows it, and Taiwei has a heart. ”

"Where, my father-in-law is taking care of me."

Of course, Gao Yu will not offer ginseng to the Son of Heaven in person, that will be counterproductive, this kind of thing must be done tactfully, and the people around the official family will speak for themselves, so that it will have an effect, it is best to add a sentence, 'Taiwei told us not to say', the effect will come out, as for whether the eunuch is willing to say this, it depends on the role of the pearl.

Not long after, Gao Yu was led to the study in the Qilin Palace, this is the place where Zhao Ji rests and recuperates, he waited at the door for a while, Wang An came out and smiled: "Taiwei, please!" ”

Gao Yu walked into the study quickly, only to see Zhao Ji holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at a Buddhist scripture with all his attention, Gao Yu didn't dare to disturb, so he had to stand aside.

After a while, Zhao Ji glanced up at Gao Yu, and when he saw the excitement on Gao Yu's face, he smiled and said, "Does the Taiwei want to bring me any good news?" ”

"Your Majesty, Shaanxi Road Express, the riot of the black party has been completely quelled!"

"Ahh Zhao Ji's hand slipped and almost spilled the tea on the Buddhist scriptures, but he didn't care about the Buddhist scriptures, so he hurriedly put down the teacup and asked, "Where is the report?" ”

Gao Yu hurriedly handed the report to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji took the report and looked at it, and when he saw the end, he couldn't help but slap the table and praised: "Good handling!" ”

He smiled at Gao Yu again and said: "I got the news yesterday that the Western Xia sent an envoy to negotiate with us, wanting to sign a Song-Xia border Jing'an agreement, and at the same time promised to cancel the New Year's coin, I have been wondering, why did the Western Xia suddenly show favor to the Great Song Dynasty, now I understand, it was the riot of the black party that was quelled, and the Western Xia could not contain the Song army, so they had to give in on the New Year's coin." ”

"This is a former enemy soldier sharing the worries of His Majesty!"

"It's also your Privy Council that is in charge!"

Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and read the report carefully again, and said with a smile: "Li Yanqing is still interceding for Lin De?" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the black party Xiang riot is not all Lin Zhizhou's responsibility, for more than a hundred years, the black party has never used swords, as Zhizhou does not have this psychological preparation, it is reasonable, but after the riot, Lin De was able to timely collect hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou fugitives into Anhua County, and can withstand the black party Xiang more than a month of siege, he should still be a more conscientious parent official, as for the defeat of the 20,000 army, that has nothing to do with the state government, it is a matter of command, Weichen and Linde have no friendship, just a matter of facts."

Zhao Ji nodded, "You have some truth in what you said, Li Yanqing also said in the report that he actively participated in the negotiations and contributed to the complete admission of defeat in the end of the black party, so I won't pursue him this time, I just hope that he can clean up the mess in Gyeongju and learn a lesson." ”

"Your Majesty's magnanimity is a blessing for your courtiers!"

"You don't flatter here, I'm not a person without a bottom line!"

Despite saying this, Zhao Ji still had a smile on his face, and he groaned and asked, "What does Taiwei think of Li Yanqing?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen said something from his heart, this person is a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is very powerful in martial arts, especially in the capture of Yanshan Mansion and the defeat of Western Xia a few years ago, he has made great achievements, which can be of great use."

"But Wang Xiangguo thinks that he is ambitious and cannot be reused, and I am a little confused."

Gao Yu sneered in his heart, and said: "It is understandable that Wang Xiangguo said this, Li Yanqing is one of the thirteen members of the Fan Party case!" How could Wang Xiangguo say good things, and besides, Wang Xiangguo also had a little personal emotion towards Li Yanqing. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji asked curiously, "What personal grievances do they have?" ”

"It's not a grudge, Weichen heard that Wang Xiangguo's brother also wanted to do a rouge business, and opened fifty jade brocade buildings all over the world within a month, but the competition couldn't compete with Baoyan Zhai, the store collapsed, and Wang Xiangguo's brother lost more than 100,000 yuan, so he ......"

Zhao Ji nodded, "I understand, I actually opened fifty stores in a month, which is obviously choked to death, but Bao Yan Zhai's things are really good, I used Bao Yan Zhai's hair *** hair to wash very comfortably during this time, and the dander on my head is gone, I have to admit that other people's things are good." ”

"Then how should the Privy Council approve this report, please instruct Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute!" After the report of the Governor's Hall comes up, let Xiangguo discuss it, and the Taiwei can also participate in the discussion and express the opinion of the Privy Council! ”

Gao Yu's heart was 'pounding! What does it mean to participate in the deliberations of the prefect's hall, is it implying to yourself......

Zhao Ji quickly glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Go!" I'll take a closer look at this report. ”

"Wechen retires!"

Gao Yu retreated, Zhao Ji looked at his back and walked away, and he was also thinking about the matter of the Zhizheng Hall, the reason why he decided to restore the pattern of two positive and four deputy Xiangguo, to a large extent, was to divide the power of the Xiangguo, and also wanted to insert his henchmen into it, he originally planned to use Tong Guan as a privy envoy to serve as a phase, but the two fiascos of Tong Guan's Northern Expedition made him infamous in the court, and then let him be the prime minister is a damage to his reputation, although Tong Guan is still loyal, but Zhao Ji decided to take Tong Guan as an abandoned son after thinking about it for a few monthsAs for the Yang Lin incident, it was just the fuse for Tong Guan's abandonment.

Tong Guan was refrigerated, so who will replace Tong Guan into the Zhizheng Hall, Zhao Ji really took a lot of consideration, he originally considered Tan Zhi, but Tan Zhi was too feminine, far less rigid than Tong Guan, Zhao Ji's eyes turned to Gao Yu, Gao Yu is also his confidant, he also holds military power, and serves as a member of the Privy Council, after he took over Tong Guan's Privy Council, it is logical for him to enter the Zhizheng Hall as a deputy minister.
