Chapter 692: One Can't Run
Wang Ning'an's recital, Zhao Zhen watched it over and over again, five times, and every time he watched it, he was shocked and shuddered. Speaking of which, Tan Xian is just a eunuch, and Gao Zunyu is also an outdated martial artist.
Not to mention that the two of them are compared to Di Qing and Wang Ning'an, even compared to the three, they are still inferior.
But because they are Qincha, with Zhao Zhen's will and under the banner of the emperor, they can be unscrupulous, do whatever they want, and make a mess of the overall situation in the northwest.
At the end of the day, it's my fault!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen kept coughing, his throat was salty, and he almost fainted.
When he was old, he was stimulated, and he vomited blood, Zhao Zhen's condition was very bad, and even the imperial doctor recommended that he rest immediately and leave nothing alone.
But in the face of this situation, can Zhao Zhen ignore it?
If you want to rest, you have to pay off your debts!
His responsibility was put aside first, from beginning to end, including the secret spy division to deceive the saint and mislead Zhao Zhen, the political affairs hall gave orders casually, and the two Qincha acted wantonly...... These things should be checked the same!
is a little sloppy, but I can't stand the dead soldiers!
"Kick off the official's house, they're all here." Su Gui persuaded in a low voice: "Sage, why don't you summon you again tomorrow?" ”
Zhao Zhen glared at him and scolded angrily: "What, do you also want to learn from Tan Xian?" ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
Su Gui was so frightened that he crawled and went out to call someone, and after a while, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Qi, and the great eunuch Shen Duan walked in one after another.
After seeing the ceremony, they looked up together and saw Zhao Zhen leaning on the bed, there was a faint smell of blood and medicine in the room, and the emperor's face was as white as rice paper.
Wen Yanbo's eyes were sour, and he hurriedly said: "It's all the disloyalty of the ministers, the worries of the bereaved father, and the death penalty of the ministers!" ”
"Don't say it." Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "I don't want to listen to messy things, at the moment it is nothing more than two ends, the northwest war situation, and the big case of bullying the king, Wen Xianggong, as the prime minister, come up with a strategy!" ”
"Yes."
Lao Wen settled down, worthy of being the old rivers and lakes that have been wandering for many years, at the critical moment, Wen Yanbo is very stable, he knows very well that this is the beginning of a storm, how big the wind will blow, Wen Yanbo is not clear, but he is not involved, as long as he can support the overall situation, when the time comes, he Wen Yanbo is a tumbler, evergreen.
"Your Majesty, just now the prince has entered the political hall to write, the Western Xia counterattack is imminent, the old minister has the courage to implore His Majesty's will, Hengshan line...... Do you want more? Wen Yanbo peeked at Zhao Zhen.
"Of course!"
The emperor almost did not hesitate, "Destroying the Western Xia and recovering the Hetao is what I patted my chest and assured the ancestors and ancestors that it will definitely be done!" Ahem...... No matter what the cost! ”
Wen Yanbo nodded, "The old minister will obey the will of the saint. The government hall immediately allocated 4 million yuan for military expenses, which was presided over by the Privy Council, and replenished the two forbidden armies of Shenwei and Longwei to restore the strength. In addition, another 20,000 horses were transferred from Hebei, 15,000 horses were transferred from Bashu, and Qingtang was also transferred to gather soldiers and horses from all walks of life to protect Hengshan. The old minister will ask Qin Fenglu and Yongxing Military Road to requisition 200,000 people, allocate military salaries and rations as soon as possible, boost morale, and replenish supplies......"
Lao Wen kept talking about what needed to be done.
Zhao Zhen bowed his head and looked at Wen Yanbo with approving eyes.
is worthy of being an old minister, that is, he has experience.
"Money and food are important. However, the most important thing is that the military orders in the northwest should be unified, and I decided to crown Wang Ning'an as the Duke of Qin, and the Zhongshu Order, Shaanxi Zhulu Jingluo appeased and recruited envoys, and took over all military and political powers, and was also in charge of money and grain accounts, ranking above the various transit envoys. ”
This will frightened the big guy, which is equivalent to handing over the northwest to Wang Ningan at once. Whether it is military affairs or civil affairs, he can monopolize power, compared to before, he and Di Qing are in charge of military affairs, which has increased more than several times!
In normal times, there must be people who oppose it, but at this time, no one dares to touch the mold.
The mess in the northwest, except for Wang Ningan, no one can deal with it, I hope he can block the counterattack of Western Xia, otherwise, the efforts of the Great Song Dynasty for several years will be in vain, and tens of millions of military expenses will be wasted, and at that time, no matter how thick-skinned Wen Yanbo is, he will not be able to stay in the political hall.
Thinking of this, Lao Wen bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, at this time of crisis, you need someone to turn the tide, Wang Xianggong is the best choice, and Lao Chen thinks it is very appropriate and can be implemented immediately." ”
After the first thing was discussed, naturally there was only the second thing left, Zhao Zhen first looked at the great eunuch Shen Duan, and saw him standing with his hands down, his waist straight, his head kept down, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and focused his attention on Wang Qi again.
As a well-known prince of the Three Decrees, Wang Qi is a very non-existent ruler.
But it's just such a guy, he has caused such a big storm, and he doesn't know what to say!
"Wang Qi!"
"The sinner is here!"
Wang Jue couldn't bear the pressure, and knelt directly on the ground, crying bitterly, he was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and said everything. When the Qincha was sent to the northwest, in order to prevent accidents, it was to give the Qincha an official document that could order the troops.
At that time, it was written by Wang Jue, and the normal instruction should be to control the horses and infantry of the armies, in case of emergency, but Wang Jue added an extra sentence to it, all armies should respect the instructions of the Qincha and obey the dispatch...... It was precisely because of this sentence that Shenwei and Longwei were transferred, and Chong Yu had to follow north to Lingzhou.
"Say, why did you add this sentence, and who asked you to add it?" Although Zhao Zhen is weak, the more this is the case, the more terrifying it is, looking at the emperor's beard, he can eat people at any time!
Wang Jue was soaked with cold sweat and kowtowed desperately.
"Your Majesty, this decree of the government hall is just modeled after the will of the previous Qincha, the old minister thought it was an ordinary will, so he asked the following Zhongshu people to draft it, the old minister has a negligence, and the old minister is willing to accept the guilt!"
He lay on the ground, trembling.
Zhao Zhen glanced at him and sneered, "Neglect? Do you dare to overlook military affairs? ”
"Ahh
Wang Jue was directly paralyzed, crying bitterly and said: "The old minister is indeed just negligent, the old minister is not a talent to be the ruler, he is willing to return to his hometown, and ask His Majesty for permission." ”
As he spoke, he took off the black yarn and put it on the ground, thinking of the Chang'an eunuch tour, which was going to end here, Wang Qi was still very sad. But then Zhao Zhen's words made him fall directly to the eighteenth layer of hell!
"Want to go?"
Zhao Zhen chuckled, "No way!" Come! ”
The emperor snapped, and someone rushed in.
"Take him to the Imperial City Division and wait for the investigation!"
Wang Jue was stunned all of a sudden, he knew that the matter was not small, but at most it was just a dismissal, how could he arrest someone? No, I'm not that guilty, am I?
He wanted to argue, but the palace guards didn't give him a chance at all, and just dragged him away.
Taking down Wang Jue, Zhao Zhen gasped for a long time, and finally recovered a trace of vitality.
"Minister Wen, from now on, all the decrees and orders of your Consul General's Hall must be approved by you before they can be executed, this is a permanent system, and it is not allowed to be changed!"
After saying this, Wen Yanbo's heart almost jumped out!
Good girl, my official, you are so interesting!
As we all know, the official system of the Great Song Dynasty is to restrain each other, stack beds and frame houses, and be messy.
In particular, the political hall is a mess.
At first, the Great Song Dynasty imitated the Tang Dynasty, generally arranging two or three prime ministers, and later added a deputy minister, that is, to participate in the governor's affairs...... To put it bluntly, it's just the prime minister's subordinates and staff.
Later, the authority to participate in politics became bigger and bigger, and gradually all the words "no" were erased, and it became similar to the prime minister.
A strong governor can even set aside the prime minister, such as Fan Zhongyan in the Qingli New Deal, what government affairs he discusses with the emperor, and then issues it in the name of the political affairs hall, which becomes a decree.
In the original history, Wang Anshi's reform of the law also began with political participation, which was a typical deputy bullying the main position.
It can be seen from here that although there are differences in rank in the political affairs hall of the Great Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, it depends on the degree of affinity between the emperor and the courtiers.
As long as the emperor appreciates it, the deputy prime minister can also be called the prime minister.
The advantage of this is obvious, that is, it can maintain the imperial power and weaken the relative power.
But the harm is just as obvious.
There are many doors, there are no rules, and there is too much arbitrariness.
For example, this time Qin sent a warrant, because whether it was Wen Yanbo or Wang Anshi, they didn't want to offend Wang Ning'an, so they gave the matter to Wang Qi.
With the respect of the deputy prime minister, Wang Qi can add some things to it, move a little bit of hands and feet, and give Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu more power, but after arriving at the place, they can use chicken feathers as arrows.
Zhao Zhen learned from the pain, and he couldn't continue to be vague and confused.
A little mistake above, when it arrives at the place, it will be infinitely magnified, 100,000 horses, the price is too heavy!
Wen Yanbo was simply overjoyed, if it weren't for the dormitory, he would have been able to jump.
With Zhao Zhen's words, the prime minister will be justified in the future, and he will be more majestic than the prime ministers of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Wen Yanbo is an old man, this is the emperor delegating power, not only to Wang Ning'an, but also to himself.
Since there is a release and a harvest, some people are doomed to bad luck...... Wen Yanbo fell his eyes on the great eunuch Shen Duan, you eunuchs, retribution is coming!
Our Wen Xianggong has never been a good person, he really wants to see the excitement.
"Shen Duan!"
"The slave is here!"
"I ask you, who told Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu the news of Yuzang Huama's surrender."
"It's a slave!"
"Then why did you tell them?"
"To grab the credit!" Shen Duan replied very simply, "When the slave maid saw the defeat of Western Xia, she thought that victory was just around the corner, and the slave maid was unwilling to take away the credit from Wang Xianggong and Di Xianggong, so the slave maid instructed Tan Xian to send troops first, take Lingzhou, and cook raw rice into rice." It's just that the slave didn't expect that this turned out to be a trap, the slave and the maid are guilty, and the slave and maid are willing to give the head and ask the saint to punish it! ”
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Wang Jue put the blame on his subordinates, you are more heroic than him, and you want to carry it yourself!" I tell you! Don't! I must investigate thoroughly to the end, the people behind it, none of them can escape! ”
