was very strictly controlled by Gao Tao before, and the palace maids around him were either old or not good-looking.

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor, who was still young, had an extremely strong rebellious mentality.

This also laid the groundwork for Zhao Xu's untimely death, but at this time, who will care about this matter, who dares to care about this matter, even if the bold Cai Dao sees it, he only thinks it is watching a play.

In Cai Dao's concept, what kind of concubine the emperor favors, a few wolves a night, that is his own family matter. If he dies young, it will help him to control the government.

After Lu Dafang was demoted out of Beijing, Fan Chunren was returned home by Zhishi.

Zhao Xu did this for three reasons,

First, Fan Zhongyan's fame is too great.

In fact, so far in the Great Song Dynasty, there were five families with the greatest strength and fame, Erlu and Erhan, as well as the Fan family.

Second, compared with other conservative officials, Zhao Xu also understands that Fan Chunren's crime is relatively small. In the year of Yuan Younian, before and after he became prime minister, he also said a few fair words about the new law. For example, he persuaded Sima Guang not to abolish the exemption law so quickly.

Third, the Fan family is from Suzhou, and it is not involved in the issue of land replacement.

Su Song was unexpectedly demoted to Chang'an Mansion as the prefect, as well as Yongxing Military Road, compared to the previous Sun Jue and Han Jin, his official position was only one less Yongxing Military Road pacification envoy. This official position is actually not degrading, but compared to the political ecology of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it is an official who goes out of Beijing, it can be regarded as derogatory, not to mention, he also sat in the position of the prime minister before.

The chief officials of the six departments have also been settled, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are Li Qingchen and Zeng Zhao respectively, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department Zeng Bu, and the Shangshu of the Military Department Cai Dao his father Cai Bian,

And the head of the household is Fan Chunren's younger brother Fan Chunli. The rest of the Ministry of Industry was unexpectedly given to Shen Kuo. These two candidates were recommended by Zeng Zhao to Zhao Xu, or Fan Zhongyan's fame was too great, Zhao Xu could not use his son, and Shen Kuo was indeed the most suitable candidate to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which Zhao Xu himself knew very well. But what Zhao Xu didn't know was that in fact, these two candidates were also from Cai Dao's mouth.

It was he who suggested it to Zeng Zhao.

However, Zhao Xu did not treat Cai Jing badly, and he took up an official position that was not part of the Sixth Department, but his rights were not small at all-Yushi Zhongcheng. His subsequent work was not light at all, that is, to investigate the shocking case of participating in the resale of grain in the treasury in the last years of Yuanfeng and the past few years of Yuanyou.

Just after the Imperial City Division had inspected the Gyeonggi region, the information he got had already made Zhao Xu furious. Therefore, he personally gave Cai Jing an order, that is, to strictly investigate the actual situation of reselling grain in various prefectures and counties across the country.

Even if he can't kill them, he can't kill them, Zhao Xu vowed to ban these rats for life. What's more, once the case is solved, Zhao Xu will have a reason to steal the family wealth of these corrupt officials and make up for the inner treasury and the national treasury that have only been unable to enter and exit for the past eight years.

In fact, according to Cai Dao's conservative estimate, once this big case is confirmed, it will be no less than the money obtained by Emperor Jiaqing's confiscation of He Shen.

Although Zhao Xu can't kill any civil officials who are not rebellious because of the ancestral system, how could he spare these moths of the Great Song Dynasty in such a large-scale corruption case?

However, Cai Dao is not too optimistic about this appointment and whether Cai Jing can be competent.

You must know that Cai Jing in history was not an honest official, he was delicious, greedy for money, and as self-respecting as Wen Yanbo. Whether this uncle can withstand the erosion of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, no one can say right now.

The privy envoy is still Han Zhongyan's, and many old but experienced veterans have been recruited into Bianliang City to serve as deputy privy envoys. In principle, in the future, civil servants will no longer serve as privy envoys, except for those who are in full office.

However, Zhao Xu further strengthened the real power of the military department. Cai Bian was able to become this official position, or when he was the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, he did a good job, so he overwhelmed Cai Jing and served as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Locally, after accepting Cai Dao's suggestion, Zhao Xu did not adopt the same one-size-fits-all approach as during the reigns of Xining, Yuanfeng, and Yuanyou.

The northern routes used officials of different factions as transit envoys.

This is still Cai Dao's words, which touched all the ministers of the law-changing faction, including Zhao Xu.

There is no harm without contrast.

Yes, it's just that there is no harm without contrast.

Just like before, if Cai Dao hadn't tempted Song Shenzong to implement the plan to hide the wealth from the people, if the Seven Color Collar Organization hadn't secretly implemented Cai Dao's Shuo Rat Plan. Even if in the eighth year of Yuanfeng and the first few years of Yuanyou, the Central Plains encountered relatively large-scale natural disasters one after another, but Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu only needed to do anything, they only needed to use the food and huge wealth that Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi and Cai Qu had gathered together, which was enough to make up for the shortfall.

If, when Wang Anshi changed the law, he used the method of comparison to assign the conservatives and the reformers to different places of governance, he would immediately peel off the ugly faces of those hypocrites.

As a result, Wang Yansuo and Liu Anshi, two important members of the Shuo Party, successively took office as the transfer envoys of Huainan West Road and Huainan East Road.

The Huainan Road is already a place of ointment compared to other roads in the north, and at this time, the Huai River has not yet experienced the large-scale invasion of the Yellow River, and the flood is not too serious.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to govern these two places.

Fan Chunren's fourth brother Fan Chun took up the post of Jingnan Road, which is equivalent to Nanyang, Xiangyang and the surrounding places of Shiyan City in later generations, and the situation is roughly the same as that of Huainan and other places.

The remaining roads in the north were occupied by the reformers and middle-level officials of the centrists.

For example, Qin Guan, Chen Shidao and Li Diao have successively replaced the original positions of Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and Cai Xuan, on the one hand, they can learn from the advanced experience of those three high-ranking talents, and on the other hand, they can assist Su Song to manage the Yongxing Military Road and provide sufficient food supply for the entire northwest.

In fact, people of insight in the court understood that there was no possibility of peace between the Song and Xia at all, unless one of them was completely subdued and subordinated, and only then could a short period of peace be ushered in.

As for the Western Xia Kingdom, Cai Dao was not like the other traversers, so he had to destroy it.

Speaking of which, the Great Song Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom are absolute enemies, but from another aspect, the Western Xia Kingdom has always been a barrier to the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Tangut people blocking it, and the Liao State not being able to control the west of the Yellow River, the nomads in Mobei would have no obstacle and would definitely speed up the pace of southern invasion. The Great Song Kingdom had to face the threat of Tatar cavalry and bows and arrows directly.

Later, if it weren't for the fact that the Western Xia Kingdom had been hindering the Mongols' efforts to unify the Central Plains, the rule of the Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains would have been destroyed long ago.

Cai Dao's cousin Cai Xuan was also transferred to Chengdu Fulu, and he was the fastest official student under Old Man Sun Jue. Even Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze are only a place to know now.

However, Cai Xuan went to such a rich place to serve this time, and he also went with a mission.
