Chapter 117: Piercing the Mist

Before the reform of Yuanfeng, the power of the imperial court was concentrated in Zhongshu Province; Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang is a collection of the power of the three provinces; In order to prevent the prime minister from exercising too much power, he added a number of posts of vice-ministers to participate in political affairs, and sometimes there were as many as seven or eight vice-ministers.

After the restructuring, the Great Song Dynasty restored the administrative system of the three provinces in which Zhongshu Province took the decree, Menxia Province sealed and refuted, and Shangshu Province implemented it; In this way, the actual power is transferred to Shangshu Province, which has the power to execute.

Today's Great Song Shangshu Province is in charge of the orders of the Son of Heaven and accepts Chinese and foreign affairs.

Shangshu Province has ten rooms, including household rooms, workshops, officials' rooms, ceremonial rooms, military rooms, torture rooms, etc., which are in charge of the official documents and government affairs of the six departments; Under the left and right servants, there are official positions such as left and right Cheng, Langzhong, and Wailang.

All the affairs of the world, which cannot be decided by the six divisions and cannot be decided by the prison lawsuit and the imperial history platform, are ultimately judged and implemented by the Shangshu Province.

Therefore, today's Shangshu Province is full of people coming and going every day, and official documents and government affairs are complicated; As the left servant of Shangshu, the prime minister of the empire, the affairs to be dealt with every day are like a sea of smoke, and since he became the prime minister, there have been constant storms in the court; Now that Yang Yi has gone to Liao to negotiate, if he does not come back, it is still unknown whether the two countries of Song and Liao will have another war;

There is also the uncertain factor of Zhao Xu's body, which makes all kinds of hidden worries urgently need to be solved, and in less than a year, the frost flowers on Zhang's sideburns have doubled.

Zhang Dian may not have known the difficulties of Jingkang and the tragedy of the Song Dynasty's southward migration, but history has proved that his keen eyes can penetrate the fog of time and have accurate foresight of the future.

Everything he did after coming to power, even if it was a grave whip, had a profound meaning;

If he listens to him, Zhao Ji will not be the emperor;

If they listened to him, Sima Guang and the others would be beaten into ghosts, the spiritual backbone of the old school would be completely broken, the innovation would be able to continue, and China might not have fallen for the first time.

And all of this is now tied to Zhao Xu's condition, Zhao Xu's health is getting worse and worse, if he dies of illness at this time, everything may go back to the old road of history; Zhang Dian did not know the direction of history, but he knew that if the layout could not be completed before Zhao Xu appeared, the reformists would be knocked to the ground, trampled into mud, and the New Deal would die in the bud.

Therefore, the current Zhang Dian can be said to have been released, and after being reminded by Yang Yi, he sent people to the south as soon as possible;

He also had a detailed understanding of the two eunuchs, Chen Yan and Zhang Shiliang, who was a diehard loyalist of Gao Tao, and it was unlikely that he would be forced to bow his head and confess his guilt, so Zhang Yan first sent someone to kill Chen Yan in order to deter Zhang Shiliang, according to his subordinates, Zhang Shiliang had now been escorted across the Yangtze River and would arrive in Tokyo in a few days.

At this time, Zhang Dian received a secret recital from an official in Zhongshan, this official is called Xingshu, and the background of Xingshu is more complicated, he not only supports the new policy, but also makes friends with the people in the old party, so it can be said that he is in the middle of the new and old parties, and there is no disadvantage.

And the secret note of torture and forgiveness is also very special, it is a letter from a few years ago; The writer of the letter is called Wen Jifu, and the recipient of the letter is the torture.

The general situation of the matter is like this, Wen Yanbo, one of the bigwigs of the old party, has eight sons, all of whom have been important officials. Wen Jifu is the sixth son of Wen Yanbo;

There is such a fierce father as Wen Yanbo, Wen Jifu was very prosperous in the capital back then, and he served as the editor of the National History Museum, Guanglu Shaoqing and other officials.

At that time, it was still high-talking, the old party was in charge, and after the split of the Shuo, Luo, and Shu parties, they ate dogs in the court, and Liu Zhi, the leader of the Shuo party, was an official of Han Qi's department.

Wen Jifu, the second-generation official, or the second-generation official, lost the shade of his father's big tree, and was immediately kicked out of the capital by Liu Zhi and went to the grassroots level to hone his training.

Wen Daya was accustomed to the wind and snow in the capital, and when he arrived in those poor and remote places, where could he endure that hardship, he was depressed all day long, so he wrote a letter to his friend Xingshu, and kept complaining and complaining in the letter.

The highlight of the whole letter is the following sentences: "Today's court is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, Luo Jie's henchmen, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, and it is a cold heart." ”

Now what Zhang Dian has in his hands is the letter written by Wen Dayan to the criminal forgiveness, although the highlights are only a few sentences, but the information revealed is amazing.

What does Sima Zhao's heart mean? Abolish Emperor Wei Ming is also.

Who is Sima Zhao?

Then look who was the prime minister at that time! Lu Dafang has been the prime minister for so many years, very good, who else can Sima Zhao refer to?

What does Fan Kun mean?

The fan refers to the 'Fan Hou', and the Great Song Dynasty used to call the Horse Duwei the Fan Hou, and the Kun Zhi means 'brother'! Together, Fan Kun means the elder brother of the Captain of the Horse.

Very good, Han Zhongyan's second brother Han Jiayan is married to Princess Shushou, the third daughter of Yingzong.

Combined with the words 'above the court' in the text and the letter, it is none other than you Han Zhongyan who can meet the two conditions of being both 'above the court' and 'Fan Kun'!

It's really good, a 'Sima Zhao', plus a 'Fan Kun', to abolish the 'Emperor Song Ming', such heavy ingredients are enough to make a big dish.

And this matter is not fabricated by the new party, it is poked out by your old party itself, Wen Daya is in the roots, the 'old' can no longer be 'old', is there anything more convincing than this?

It's hard to forgive, and I still keep this letter for so many years. Zhang Dian took this letter, and compared it with the things of Chen Yan and Zhang Shiliang mentioned by Yang Yi, a more perfect plan was quickly formed in his heart.

With this letter, Zhang Dian did not hesitate any longer, and immediately sent someone to 'invite' Wen Dayane to enter Beijing, 10,000 years is too long, let's seize the day.

After Yang Yi returned to the palace in Lotus Silk Lake, he only expressed his protest, and did not pay much attention to the matter of Xiao Temo, and after successfully signing the peace treaty between Song and Liao, he immediately set off to oppose the Song Dynasty the next day.

When Song and Liao sent envoys to each other, from the date of handing over the credentials, the general allowed period of stay was ten days, and Yang Yi arrived at Lotus Silk Lake for only five days. The main fighting faction of the Liao State, headed by Xiao Temo, did not want to see this peace treaty implemented, and tried in every possible way to provoke disputes between the two countries.

And the Great Song Dynasty was actually not ready for a war with the Liao State.

The Liao State is not having a good time now, and the Great Song Dynasty is also having a hard time; In terms of internal affairs, the reforms of the Great Song Dynasty have just been rolled out and have not yet achieved results, not only failed to increase the revenue of the national treasury, but also spent a lot of money;

In terms of military affairs, after nine years of abolition of the old party, the forbidden army is rotten, and the ordnance is old, so it is urgent to reorganize and prepare for training;

The situation in the court is not stable, Zhao Xu's body will collapse at any time, and it is very unwise to fight Liao in this situation.

Yang Yi promoted peace this time, which can be said to be a big gamble, and now the bet has won! Naturally, it is better to try to avoid further branches.

Previously, Yang Yi had asked Ma Hanqing and them to rebuke the news of the Western Xia mission, but they didn't find anything valuable about the Western Xia, but they unexpectedly got a message from the Western Xia mission: There were tribal rebellions in Shangjing and Xijing in Liao.

Yang Yi then proposed to return to China by Datong Mansion on the western route, and Yelu Hongji thought that he was afraid of passing through Nanjing Road, which was under the jurisdiction of Xiao Temo, and did not think much about it, so he agreed!

In this way, Yang Yi took ninety-eight horsemen, as well as five hundred Liao cavalry led by Mo Sang, passed through Beijing, walked Raole, and then entered the vast prairie in the west.

After Raole, there are basically no towns within a thousand miles, and the vast grasslands are scattered with many nomadic tribes such as Murowei, Zubu, and Tiger Bone, which live by the water and migrate with the seasons, and it is difficult to determine where to meet them.

Although Yang Yi has other plans in his heart, whether he can achieve it can only depend on luck! He walked slowly, firstly, as the wind and snow became heavier and heavier as the winter entered the middle of winter, and secondly, he did it intentionally.

In the carriage, Yang Yi was holding a piece of jade with carved double geese, a little distracted!

Qing Niang was wrapped like a red panda by Yang Yi, there is nothing in Liao, and there is no shortage of high-grade fur, in addition to buying some for his mother Yang and Su Qing and others, Qing Niang is not to mention, now she only has a pair of bright eyes on her body, and she is turning around;

"Brother Yang, this is a ...... given to you by Princess Yue"

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, this is a gadget I picked up from the stall in Lotus Silk Lake. ”

"It's so cute, can Brother Yang give it to me?" Qing Niang even had her mouth wrapped, and her speech was buzzing, not at all crisp and pleasant as before.

"Uh...... Well, this one! Qing Niang, this jade pendant is not suitable for you to wear, next time I will definitely buy you a better one, do you think it's okay? ”

For Qing Niang, Yang Yi has always been responsive and spoiled, and now he is a little embarrassed to say such a thing for the first time.

"Hee-hee! Hehe! Haha......"

"Qing Niang! Are you stupid? What to laugh at? ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

"I think you're in arrears!" After Yang Yi finished speaking, he lifted her over, but she was a little at a loss, this girl was wrapped too tightly, she couldn't even find her ass anywhere, and she was not afraid of beating at all!

Qing Niang really looked like a red panda, rolling at his feet, and finally waited for her to stop laughing, her bloated body knelt up with difficulty, and then lay down her fluffy scarf, revealing her delicate pink face, and leaned into Yang Yi's ear and said, "Thank you, Brother Yang!" ”

Yang Yi was a little stunned and asked, "Why?" Why thank me? ”

"Because Qing Niang found out that Brother Yang would only be so unnatural when he lied in front of Qing Niang, which shows that Brother Yang loves Qing Niang the most in his heart, and Qing Niang knows all of this!"

Yang Yi glared at her fiercely and said, "Huh? Who lied? What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"There's no nonsense! Hee-hee...... Qing Niang began to roll freely at his feet again, giggling and laughing non-stop.

"That's your nonsense, bring the nonsense, hahaha!"

"What is the?"

"That's right, come, Qingniang, Brother Yang will tell you a little joke."

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

"Sit down! One night, two thieves entered a house through the window to steal something, and when they rummaged through the box to find something, they woke up a couple who were sleeping, and the husband and wife saw through the hazy night that there were two thieves, and they did not dare to shout, for fear that the two thieves would commit murder and hurt people in a hurry.

The husband was in a hurry, and said to his wife, 'Quick, bring our bow and arrows.' ’

When the two thieves outside heard that their master had a bow and arrow, they were immediately frightened and were about to flee, but then they heard the lady reply, 'How can we have a bow and arrows in our house?' ’

When the husband saw that his wife did not react, he hurriedly said, "Aren't the bows and arrows hanging on the wall?" ’

'Where is there a bow and arrow on the wall?' Net nonsense! ’

'Yes, yes, nonsense is more harmful than bows and arrows, bring the nonsense quickly!' As soon as the husband finished shouting, he immediately covered his wife's mouth and prevented her from speaking.

The two thieves outside had heard that their master had bows and arrows, and they were already very afraid, but when they heard the 'nonsense' more than the bow and arrow, they immediately fled through the window, and told each other as they fled: 'Run! If you get shot by nonsense, you'll die! ’”

When Qing Niang heard this, she giggled non-stop, tears came out, and she began to roll around like a red panda in the car again;

Yang Yi didn't stop her, Qing Niang has both a demure and elegant side, and sometimes she doesn't lose the innocent nature of a girl, which is very good, Yang Yi feels very relieved in her heart.
