Kong Daofu and others took the right move to ask for the right thing, which brought them a catastrophe, and the fifty or sixty Taiwanese officials in front of Xuanyou Gate, except for a few people who were fined and punished, the others were demoted from Bianjing by the angry official Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Lei stood there with a wry smile on his face, waiting for the will of the official Zhao Zhen, but to his surprise, the official will had not been written yet, and another thing was born.

"Official! The imperial envoy Zhao Lu presented the book, and Zhao Lei, the prince and the prince, the founder of the county, and the two cases of salt and iron, changed the ancestral system in vain, causing changes in the harem. An attendant cautiously came to the Zichen Hall and said respectfully to Zhao Zhen, an official who was writing an edict.

The words of the inner servant made everyone in the palace happy and worried, and the joy was naturally Lu Yijian and Li Di, who were hostile to Zhao Lei, and the worries were Song Shou, Cai Qi and other ministers who were also eager to reform the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, Zhao Lei's reform was regarded as pulling up the curtain of the Great Song Dynasty reform, if it failed like this, it would be difficult for the reformers to find a chance to come out, after all, the imperial court had just copied a huge amount of money of 300 million yuan, so much money, enough to cover up all the shortcomings of the imperial court.

"Official! The suggestions put forward by Lord Zhao are all feasible, but the people who implement them in the middle have deviated, which led to today's events, and the fault is not at all Lord Zhao. Song Shou couldn't stop talking at this time, and hurriedly stood up and excused Zhao Lei.

"Qiqi official, the minister thinks that the imperial envoy Lord Zhao is right, without Zhao Lei, there will be no reform of the imperial city, and there will not be so many things now, and someone must take responsibility for these things. And Zhao Lei is the culprit. Li Di, the elderly prime minister, immediately retorted loudly, and was bent on putting Zhao Lei to death.

The official Zhao Zhen looked at Song Shou and Li Di, and hesitated in his heart, Zhao Lei's reform was originally agreed by Zhao Zhen. If Zhao Lei is demoted out of Bianjing like this, he can't bear it, but if Zhao Lei is not punished, it will be an unfair thing for both Empress Guo and the courtiers.

What to do! The official Zhao Zhen looked at all the people in the palace with a headache, and when he saw the privy envoy Wang Shu, he suddenly remembered Zhao Lei's proposal for military reform, maybe take this opportunity to send Zhao Lei to the army for a small reform to see the results, which is also a good thing!

……

It's getting late. The Taiwanese officials who had been waiting in front of the Xuanyou Gate for a long time were all a little confused, and at this moment, the Xuanyou Gate suddenly opened, and an attendant walked out. said loudly: "The official family has a purpose!" The imperial envoy Kong Daofu, the counselor of the Yuan advised Sun Zude, and the right secretary of the counselor Fan Zhongyan and others received the order......"

Kong Daofu and the others, who were in a daze, heard the words of the inner servant and had their first thought. It is to bow down and receive the decree and say, "The minister receives the decree!" ”

The chamberlain looked at Kong Daofu and other Taiwanese officials who were bowing, and coldly read out the will of the official Zhao Zhendi.

Among the holy decrees, more than 50 officials participated in the invitation of the Futai this time. Except for Sun Zude, everyone else was demoted from Bianjing.

Zuo Si Zhi Gao Ruone, who was watching from afar, saw the shocked looks of Kong Daofu and the others, sneered twice, turned around and left, since the holy decree was issued, there was no possibility of taking it back, Kong Daofu and them were already powerless. Destined to leave Bianjing.

……

Zhao Lei walked out of the imperial city in despair, he didn't expect that the small imperial city reform would involve such a big thing, Empress Guo was deposed, Kong Daofu and others were demoted, and he himself was sent to Gyeongju and became the Gyeongju defense envoy of the five-rank martial arts, in charge of the 6,000-horse army of Gyeongju.

In this matter, Zhao Lei has no chance to turn over at all, because fundamentally speaking, he is not wrong at all, but unfortunately he was implicated in the matter after the abolition, and Zhao Lei, who was not prepared for this, was dragged into it by the black hand behind the abolition, and was overshadowed by Lu Yijian and Yan Wenying and others who fell into the well.

Outside the Xuande Building of the Imperial City, the carriage of Zhaofudi was quietly parked in the dark, and on the carriage, Wang Su looked at the gate of the imperial city with a pair of keen eyes.

As soon as Zhao Lei came out of the Xuande Building, Wang Su appeared at him, commanded in a low voice, and the carriage drove slowly, picked up Zhao Lei into the carriage, and galloped towards Zhao's mansion.

"How? What to find? As soon as Zhao Lei got into the carriage, he saw that Wang Su was also present, and asked without the slightest surprise, in fact, when he was announced by the official Zhao Zhen, he had already asked the official family to go to inform Wang Su.

When Wang Su heard Zhao Lei's words, he smiled bitterly and said: "I found something, but it's definitely not good news!" ”

"What's the news?" Zhao Lei saw Wang Su's expression and asked in surprise, he really couldn't guess which force was the one that made Wang Su, who has always been exquisite and traveled around the major forces in Bianjing, so distressed.

"It's the military generals, I found out that half a month ago, the four generals each selected a beautiful daughter of the family to send to the imperial city, and they were all canonized as talented people by the official family, and the officials of the imperial city department are all connected with the four generals, and the most important thing is that Bianjing can influence the forces in the forbidden middle, except for the clan, there are only those people from the military generals." Wang Su said with a wry smile.

Door! When Zhao Lei heard Wang Su's words, he suddenly realized that he understood at this time that he had ignored one of the most powerful forces in Bianjing, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty Jiangmen.

The Northern Song Dynasty is the peak period of the Jiangmen Exhibition, after the Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, in order to win over those military ministers, he retained the privileges of the founding generals in many aspects, especially the treatment of the sons and daughters to fill the military positions and give priority to transfer, and it was happy to sort out and even give it the courtesy of marriage with the royal family, and this practice was inherited by the heirs of later generations, therefore, it created a group of Jiangmen families, which stretched for several generations and were generals for several generations.

In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and few people were willing to practice martial arts as generals, even if there were not many Wenchen who were willing to lead troops, so the role of Jiangmen was more prominent.

Up to now, the military Jiangmen's power is even larger, the Song Dynasty 72 Jiedu envoys, the Jiangmen control more than one-third, the thirty-six defense envoys, and more than half, although the military is in an embarrassing situation, the power is in the hands of the privy envoy, and it is despised by the civil ministers, and is suspicious of the officials, but the influence of the Jiangmen and the hidden strength in the forbidden are still not to be underestimated.

"They actually planned the post-abolition turmoil, what do they want to do?" Zhao Lei said angrily.

"What else can they do, the Great Song Dynasty has been in peace for decades, the generals have declined, the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion is now almost reduced to the point of asking for food, in order to keep their power, they can only elect their daughters and send them to the palace, once you become the queen, you can blow the wind around the official family, it is best to provoke wars between the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Liao and other countries, if there is no war, what do they use to raise hundreds of slaves and miscellaneous servants!" Wang Su pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Isn't the Northwest already preparing for war with Western Xia! Why do they still want to engage in this post-abolition turmoil, isn't it an extra move! Zhao Lei asked suspiciously, he couldn't see what benefits Jiangmen could get after the turmoil.

"Queen Guo is not abolished, those daughters of the generals who entered the palace will not be able to be queens at any time! Isn't the queen's throne a great benefit! Wang Su said with a sneer.

"The people of Jiangmen are so confident, after Queen Guo is deposed, those daughters of Jiangmen will be able to sit in the position of the queen, and the court stipulates that relatives cannot interfere in politics, no matter that the daughter of Jiangmen sits on the throne of the queen, her family may not be able to continue to stay in the military." Zhao Lei still asked very incomprehensibly.

"It seems that Sanshi has been in Bianjing for a short time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the imperial court! Zhang Yaozuo, the waiter of the three divisions of the household department, is the uncle of today's Zhang Guifei! Wang Su indifferently threw out something that Zhao Lei didn't know.

"How is this possible, relatives can't be really lacking, since Zhang Yaozuo is Zhang Guifei's uncle, how can he serve as a household servant! Didn't the officials of the Imperial Embassy and the Imperial Court impeach Zhang Yaozuo! Zhao Lei asked with a shocked face.

"Of course he was impeached, how could he not be impeached! But does it work! The official family doesn't pay attention to the scripts of the officials in Taiwan, and there are people in the harem who are good officials! What ancestors stipulated, the laws of the imperial court, isn't it the official family who has the final say! Wang Su said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

I see! It seems that there is still a lack of a certain understanding of the official Zhao Zhen, and the relatives are really lacking, this kind of thing can be done, no wonder those people in Jiangmen are not afraid that after Jiangmen's daughter becomes the queen, Jiangmen will be affected. Zhao Lei sighed and thought.

"By the way, I saw you come out in despair just now, Queen Guo was deposed, Lu Yijian and them will definitely fall into the ground, is it implicated in you." Wang Su suddenly asked Zhao Lei at this time.

"Don't mention it, Lu Yijian and Yan Wenying will unite to fall into the well for me, and the officials will be soft-eared, so they will listen to their subordinates." Zhao Lei heard Wang Su's words and said listlessly.

"Below! Where is it down there? Wang Su was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

"Gyeongju! Five-grade martial arts, Yongxing Military Road Gyeongju Defense Envoy! Zhao Lei shook his head and said with a wry smile.

When Wang Su heard Zhao Lei's words, he lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and suddenly said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "Congratulations to Sanshi, it seems that the official family is still taking care of you, and they actually let you go to Gyeongju." ”

"Take care! What do you mean? Zhao Lei asked with a slight stunned moment.

"Sam Seok knows what Gyeongju is! That is the rear of the three sides, the second barrier to resist the Western Xia, and also the alternate route for the Western Xia to invade the Great Song Dynasty, from the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty after the discord, the defense of Gyeongju has risen very fast, as long as the Western Xia invades the three sides, Gyeongju will have to rescue, no matter whether it wins or loses, the rescue is always meritorious, if you encounter a big victory, you will soon be transferred back by the official family because of the military merits, and the official family will send you to Gyeongju when the relationship with the Western Xia is so tense, this is a heavy responsibility, maybe the official family will give you a holy decree, Maybe you can reform the Gyeongju army! Wang Su said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

Zhao Lei pondered for a while, and felt that this possibility was very big, although now the imperial court has lifted the problem of lack of money in the household department, but the military's combat effectiveness is not high, but the official Zhao Zhen is very dissatisfied, and it is logical to take this opportunity to transfer Zhao Lei to Gyeongju for reform.
