Chapter 717: Chase the Bad Guys Away
No one can resist aging, after this toss, Zhao Zhen is very, very tired, his energy is declining, there are always mosquitoes flashing in front of him, his eyesight is decaying greatly, and at night, even if he is full of candles, he can't read the excerpts and deal with government affairs. After only a few months of hard work, the dragon body was overwhelmed.
Zhao Zhen also knew that he didn't have much time and had to make some arrangements.
First of all, it is necessary to close the case.
Chen Lin was old and frail, and after being arrested, he did not eat or drink, and died three days ago.
The old dog that has been raised for decades, even if he bites himself at the last moment, Zhao Zhen can't really be ruthless, he asked people to find a place and bury Chen Lin.
As for Shen Duan and Tan Xian, they were all decided.
The original hard-established secret spy department was abolished, and all personnel were assigned to Kaifeng to guard the tomb for Taizu and Taizong.
Zhao Zhen learned from experience and replaced a new batch of eunuchs.
These eunuchs were not recruited near the capital as before, but from Lingnan, Northwest, Youzhou, and even Qingtang and other places, they drew some prisoners, found some feudal youths, and entered the palace.
Many of them are literate, they can't even speak Chinese, and they come from all over the world, gathered together, and in a short period of time, they can't make waves at all.
And Zhao Zhen also compressed their power to the limit, only responsible for sprinkling and sweeping and serving people, and when it comes to government affairs, Zhao Zhen will let the Hanlin Academy and the Zhongshu people be responsible.
This, of course, increases the power of the civil service.
But the lesser of two evils, civil officials are still much better than eunuchs, at least they have families, have children and grandchildren, and will not be as mad as eunuchs.
In fact, this time, it was Chen Lin and Shen Duan who really decided to send troops and gamble.
As for Fu Bi and them, they just wanted to send Qin Cha, wait for the opportunity to seize military power, and then divide Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an, Fu Bi said that he was not the mastermind, but he didn't report it, and it was not a lie.
But to put it again, without the Qiying Society, without the huge conservative force, give Chen Lin and Shen Duan 10,000 guts, they don't dare to argue with Wang Ning'an, let alone mobilize the army.
Therefore, Wang Ningan said that this is not a dispute between right and wrong, but a battle of interests!
If you want to promote the reform, you must get rid of Fubi and cut down the biggest banner of the conservatives!
Otherwise, even if Fu Bi runs away to the Western Regions, he can still control the conservative forces remotely and deal with Wang Ningan to the end, this is their fate!
……
The inner court was cleaned up, and the next one was Zhao Dayi, after repeated weighing, Zhao Zhen did not kill, he just gave Zhao Shimai to death, and deprived Zhao Conggu of all posthumous titles and mourning, and at the same time removed them from the clan's roster.
However, Zhao Zhen did not stop, he named Zhao Congyu as the king of Hami, and at the same time sent all the descendants of Zhao Da to the Western Regions, and the rest were also deprived of their royal status in accordance with the clan regulations, so that they would forever lose the qualification to inherit the throne.
Zhao Zhen also issued a decree to tell the world that in order to protect the Zhao family, Taizu passed the throne to Emperor Taizong, which was a wise move to respond to the heavens and people. The so-called axe sound and candle shadow are nonsense at all, and they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, ill-intentioned people, and slanderous words.
If anyone dares to act, and dares to spread rumors everywhere, they will not tolerate it!
In addition to ordering a ban on performances, Zhao Zhen also took Zhao Shu to Taimiao to worship Taizu and Taizong.
Obviously, as the founding monarch, Zhao Da's contribution must be better than Zhao Er's.
In fact, Zhao Zhen has never seen Zhao Er, let alone Zhao Da, as for Zhao Shu, it is even more distant, in his eyes, it is just two spiritual positions.
Anyway, they are all their ancestors and ancestors, who created the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and they should be worshiped as one, so there is really no need to make trouble for themselves.
It is not uncommon for ancestors to have feuds and fade over time...... For example, after Ming Yingzong was captured, the Ming Dynasty supported Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, and later the change of seizing the door, Yingzong was reinstated, he hated his brother to death, and Emperor Jingtai got everything.
But when Yingzong's son Xianzong Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne, he still gave his uncle the nickname Emperor Jing, and later when he came to Nanming, Zhu Qiyu officially got the temple name Daizong!
All in all, Zhao Zhen finished dealing with the part of the clan again.
Here's the gate.
The legendary roster, most of the generals are in it, and they also conspire against Taizong.
Zhao Zhen cares very much, he is not worried that Jiangmen will be in chaos, but once he pokes it out and has to deal with Jiangmen, the originally unbalanced court situation will be even more turbulent.
Because of this, Zhao Zhen hesitated and wanted to let Fu Bi go, but the problem was that Wang Ningan forced Fu Bi to death, and it turned out later that the so-called roster did not appear, everyone was just a rumor, and perhaps the person holding the roster also knew that Chen Sesame Rotten Grain, which was almost a hundred years old, had long lost its power, so simply don't poke it out, so as not to burn yourself.
Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but it was impossible to completely let go of Jiangmen.
He has already issued an edict to the Shi family, the Pan family, and even the Cao family and the Yang family, asking them to pick half of their own children and tribes and send them to the Western Regions, and Zhao Zhen also stipulated that if you want to inherit the title in the future, you must have military merits!
What are you kidding, the children of the clan will be demoted, what do you have to do with the door?
Is it more noble than the old Zhao family?
If you don't have military merits, you can be an ordinary person honestly!
Zhao Zhen showed his iron-fisted and ruthless side, and he could only touch his nose to recognize the door.
From beginning to end, Zhao Zhen disposed of all the forces.
But there were no civil officials.
In fact, as the eunuchs, clans, and generals were all suppressed, the dominance of the civil official family was revealed. Especially Wen Yanbo, after the fall of the Qiying Society, he was the top figure in the Great Song Dynasty regardless of qualifications, skills, or status, and almost no one could compete with him.
Especially after Wang Ning'an was crowned king, the court situation inside and outside had to obey Wen Yanbo's arrangement alone.
This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen was hesitant to dispose of Fu Bi at the beginning.
It's easy to kill someone, but killing doesn't solve all problems!
Messing around, everything he did has fulfilled Wen Yanbo, isn't that lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!
If Wen Yanbo is an upright person and a minister worthy of trust, it will be fine.
But after so many years, Zhao Zhen has already seen through it, Wen Yanbo, an old man, is really unreliable, he has a bad stomach, he is more shrewd than anyone else, and he has no shame.
Let him take power, and it is very likely that the change will be abolished, and the entire country and society will be in danger.
Just when the emperor was in a hurry, Su Shi was in charge, Wang Ning'an instructed, and an impeachment seal was sent to Zhao Zhen.
Wen Yanbo built a mansion in his hometown, beyond the regulations of the courtiers, and the selected address, surrounded by dragon energy, the nearby villagers have witnessed with their own eyes, there are auspicious clouds, like lotus flowers, falling from the sky, falling into the Wenfu, lingering for a long time, flying away. Some local Taoists said that this is the spirit of the dragon and tiger, which is unspeakably expensive, and there will be a supreme appearance in the future......
Su Shi wrote at the end that Wen Yanbo built a house in such a place, with ill intentions, and it was obvious that if he was not severely punished, it would be simply intolerable!
……
"Your Majesty!"
Wen Yanbo cried, "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, he is really wronged, Wang Ningan is framing the old minister, he, he wants the old minister to go to the Western Regions, he is not good!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled faintly, "Kuanfu, I still believe in your character, but the recent chaos in the court, some things are messy, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors, as the prime minister, you have suffered for me, I understand it in my heart!" ”
"Thank you for the saint's understanding, it's all the fault of the old minister for being incompetent, and he can't share his worries for His Majesty!" Wen Yanbo cried again, "The old minister is willing to return to his hometown and ask for His Majesty's permission!" ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Kuanfu, you are an old minister in the court, how can I be willing to give it up!" ”
Wen Yanbo was overjoyed in his heart and was about to be polite, but Zhao Zhen changed his words, "But because of this, I cherish our friendship more and more." I really can't bear it, you have been in the position of prime minister for a long time, you have been criticized by all sides, and you are physically and mentally exhausted - so let's go to the northwest for me, if you are not in charge, relying on some young people alone, may not be able to take such a large territory well! Saying that, Zhao Zhen was full of ardent hope, and said with a smile: "Wen Qing, are you willing to share my worries?" ”
The corners of Wen Yanbo's mouth twitched, and his heart was dripping blood!
The surname is Wang!
You're not a thing!
What kind of grudge does the old man have with you, what kind of grudge?
You're leaving, why are you going to fool me!
What else can Wen Yanbo say, if he insists on refusing, the next time Wang Ningan goes to the book, it will not be these nonsense charges!
In this case, the two ministers of the political hall were involved, and you, Wen Yanbo, as the prime minister, have no responsibility at all?
If it really starts up, I don't know what the consequences will be!
Lao Wen is a smart person, he thinks about it a little, and he understands, he calculates Wang Ning'an, calculates Fubi, calculates this, calculates that!
Only one thing was forgotten, when everyone else was counted, he would be left as a giant in the court. Will Zhao Zhen rest assured that he will hand over all the government to him?
This is called the clever calculation of the mechanism!
Wen Yanbo had no choice but to receive the order.
On the second day after Wen Yanbo was transferred, Zhao Zhen quickly issued an edict, and the new political affairs hall personnel were released.
To everyone's surprise, it was not Wang Anshi who took over the position of prime minister, but Bao Zheng!
Lao Bao is not in good health, he has been sick, and recently he has faded out of the court for a year or two. Away from the political world, Bao Zheng's body has recovered a little, and this time let him take over as prime minister, Wang Anshi was promoted to a level and became the second minister.
There are also two deputy ministers, who are replaced by Sima Guang and Han Jiang.
In addition, Zhang Fangping was transferred to the secretary of the military department, Di Qing took over the secretary of the staff department, Su Xun took over the imperial history Zhongcheng, Chen Xiliang was promoted to the head of the household department, and Sun Gu took over the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials...... The entire Great Song Dynasty has undergone a big blood change.
Through this adjustment, the original conservative forces have almost been swept away.
The position of prime minister was also handed over to Bao Zheng, who was honest and steady, loyal and reliable!
Zhao Zhen's meaning couldn't be clearer, he needs to change the law, but what he needs is a controllable change! In the last stage of his life, the old emperor longed for stability and stability...... And the new political hall and the six departments are exactly what he wants!
As for the other immortals, the demons who can be tossed, they all go to the Western Regions......
