According to the requirements of Emperor Gaozong, Zhang Jun fought at night and had to prepare Zhao Ding's worship system overnight.

In the Governor's Mansion, there was another person who accompanied Zhang Jun all night.

He is Qin Hui.

Qin Hui's news was well-informed, and his mind was even more cautious, and he guessed that Gaozong would definitely consult Zhang Jun about who would succeed him as the prime minister of the empire.

Therefore, Qin Hui waited in the capital hall after getting off work, and accompanied Zhang Jun all night long, so that the old chief could feel the warmth of the last moment, so as to establish his position as prime minister.

Although Zhang Jun is careless, he is not a stupid person after all, and he is just watching Qin Hui's hypocrisy with a cold eye, which makes Qin Hui stay up all night in vain

Zhao Ding took office and regained his position as prime minister.

Judging from the situation at that time, Zhao Ding's return was also expected. It's just that the first thing he did when he took office stunned the whole court.

Zhao Ding actually wanted to keep Zhang Jun and Qin Hui at the same time.

In volume 115 of the "Records of the Years since the Establishment of Yan" written by Li Xinchuan, a long conversation between Zhao Ding and Emperor Gaozong was recorded at that time:

Emperor Gaozong instructed Zhao Ding: "Aiqing must reduce Zhang Jun to the people as soon as possible, drive him out of the capital, and report it to the world, so that the people of the world will know about the sins he has committed." ”

It seems that Emperor Gaozong really has a lot of grievances against Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding said to Emperor Gaozong: "Weichen is already ready to demote Zhang Jun. However, Weichen thought that it was best not to beat Zhang Jun to death with a stick, and it was best to stay by his side and participate in national affairs at any time. ”

Emperor Gaozong was a little stunned and said, "Zhang Jun mistook the country and the king. Is removal alone enough to atonement for guilt? He should be exiled far away. I don't want to see him again. ”

Zhao Ding persuaded with some bitterness: "Zhang Jun's old mother is very old. He had great achievements in King Qin before, could it be that Your Majesty could bear to let their mother and son be separated from each other and not be able to see each other? ”

Emperor Gaozong didn't expect Zhao Ding to bring up the old matter again, his face sank, and he explained: "King Qin has merit, and I have rewarded him with the phase, which is enough to resist." Merit is merit, and transgression is excess. The two do not hide each other. ”

When it comes to this, it is reasonable for Zhao Ding to shut up.

But no, Zhao Ding has just shaken out two burdens, and the show has just begun.

He reminded Emperor Gaozong: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to recover the losses of the Huaixi Mutiny and confirm the person responsible for the accident, so that the people of the world can be convinced." ”

Emperor Gaozong nodded and agreed: "Yes, this is what Aiqing wants to do." ”

Zhao Ding said with a straight face: "According to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, no matter what decision the emperor makes. The armed forces must obey 100 percent unconditionally, and this is the fundamental law of the state. Right? ”

Emperor Gaozong was full of cows, and thought to himself: "Zhao Ding is really my intimate little padded jacket." ”

Zhao Ding saw Emperor Gaozong nodding again and again, so he continued: "But Li Qiong and his gang rebelled just for trivial things such as personal treatment and job transfer, is this the fault of the imperial court, or is it their fault?" Therefore, Weichen believes that the fundamental mistake of the Huaixi Mutiny lies with the military, and it is a manifestation of the army's excessive arrogance. ”

Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Emperor Gaozong was so excited that he almost wanted to get up from the dragon bed, and said to Zhao Ding in a trembling voice: "Aiqing is so right. If everyone in the world is as the Qing family said, why worry about the great cause of ZTE. ”

Seeing that Emperor Gaozong had agreed with his statement, Zhao Ding changed his words and said: "Since it is a mistake of the army, there will be two serious consequences if Zhang Jun is severely punished at this time. ”

"Which two serious consequences?" At this time, Emperor Gaozong had been led by Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding raised two fingers and said: "Zhang Jun was severely punished for official business, which must have hit the power of people of insight in the world, who dares to come to the emperor in the future, this is one of them; Second, if Zhang Jun is severely punished, it will inevitably encourage the unhealthy tendencies of the army. At this time, the army of the whole country is looking at the imperial court, and the imperial court must not show weakness, otherwise it will be kicked in the face by the army in the future.

"Although it is not the words of the generals, it is also the intention of the generals." This is Zhao Ding's original words.

After figuring out Zhao Ding's thoughts, Emperor Gaozong couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion: "Aiqing really won my heart!" This matter was decided, Zhang Jun did not have to go to Lingnan, and the new position was "to assign Zuo Chaofeng Doctor, Secretary and Young Eunuch, and Branch Division to live in Yongzhou, Nanjing"

Zhao Ding's statement seems to be reasonable, and it also fooled Emperor Gaozong into a mess. However, if we analyze it with modern logic, we can find the ridiculous and absurd.

Zhao Ding's logic is that Zhang Jun lost one-fifth of the country's troops because of his unfavorable control of the army, but in order to continue to effectively control the army, he had to give a light sentence.

In other words, no matter how fucked up the civil officials and how many mistakes they made, at the end of the day, the responsibility had to be borne by the generals.

This was the mainstream consciousness of the Song Dynasty.

The wretched will have something to hate. It is not unreasonable that the Song Dynasty was weak in national strength.

In any case, Zhao Ding still succeeded in saving Zhang Jun.

As for what to protect Zhang Jun for Lu, Zhao Ding's explanation at the time was: "Ding lives up to virtue and deyuan loses Ding." ”

The Deyuan mentioned here refers to Zhang Jun.

Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun turned out to be a pair of good friends who cherished each other. And Zhang Jun was also re-promoted by Zhao Ding in the abyss after the defeat of the Battle of Futian, but later Zhang Jun was too utilitarian, and he took revenge and took advantage of Zhao Ding's mistakes in the Battle of Huaixi to force Zhao Ding out of the core decision-making circle of the imperial court.

Now Zhao Ding repays his grievances with virtue, which fully shows Zhao Ding's broad-mindedness and generosity

The dialogue between Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Ding did not end there, but continued.

The two of them asked and answered, sang and harmonized, understood and trusted each other, and talked happily, as if they were husband and wife reunited after a long absence.

After the last, Emperor Gaozong said to Zhao Ding: "Qing is still in phase, and the current ruling party will stay in Weiqing." ”

In this way, Emperor Gaozong granted Zhao Ding the right to form a cabinet at his discretion. In other words, the list of candidates for the new prime minister's cabinet is decided by Zhao Ding alone.

In the face of this trust. Zhao Ding did not get carried away. Still humble.

He only applied to Emperor Gaozong for a place as a work partner. This partner must be retained, and the rest of the candidates are still up to the emperor himself.

This candidate is - Qin Hui.

Zhao Ding's original words were: "Qin Hui can't be ordered to go." ”

Things have come to this point, what else is there to say?

Qin Hui is still the same Qin Hui, what he carries in his arms is still the idea that southerners return from the south and northerners return to the north, and the topic of peace is still unswervingly hanging in his mouth, and his background and origin are still suspicious.

The strange thing is that since Qin Hui returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, no matter who will be the prime minister. They all like to ask him to be their deputy; Whether it is Lu Yihao and Zhang Jun of the main battle faction, or Fan Zongyin and Zhao Ding of the main peace faction, this is the case.

And that's not even the weirdest of all.

The strangest thing is that these adults who are looking for Qin Hui to be their deputy, they can see Qin Hui's various actions and pushes when they step down. They also know the insidiousness and viciousness of Qin Hui, such as Zhang Jun; Even they themselves don't have a good impression of Qin Hui, such as Zhao Ding.

Even so, they still want to find Qin Hui as their deputy prime minister, and they are happy to do so.

Where exactly is the problem?

After deceiving Lu Yihao, he continued to deceive Zhang Jun. Then it was Zhao Ding's turn, and he had been lying under the nose of Emperor Gaozong. In the case that everyone has long known that his nature is bad, endless deception succeeds.

What does this mean, are these people above too easy to deceive, or is this liar too clever?

This may be the weirdness of history

Zhao Ding took up his new post, and according to the practice of the imperial court, ministers from all walks of life from other places needed to "enter the Hajj" and meet with the new prime minister by the way. As the supreme commander of the largest theater of operations, Yue Fei is also among the emperors.

On the way, Yue Fei said to his staff officer Xue Bi: "When I go to the imperial court this time, I will also play a great plan related to the country. ”

Xue Bi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yue Fei replied: "I would like to ask the emperor to appoint the Jianguo Gong, who studied in Zishantang, as the crown prince. ”

Xue Bi was taken aback, and hurriedly reminded: "As a general, it seems that you should not interfere in the government affairs.

Yue Fei's answer was: "The monarch and the minister are one, and they should not worry about the appearance. ”

So Yue flew into the court and made his suggestion.

In history, when Yue Fei was reading the movement, a cold wind suddenly blew, causing the movement in his hand to sway, and his voice was also nervous and trembling.

Yue Fei's political simplicity and naivety are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

After a long time, Emperor Gaozong replied in an extremely calm tone: "Yue Qing's family, I don't doubt your loyalty, but with troops outside, this kind of thing is not something you should care about. ”

Emperor Gaozong's answer directly hit Yue Fei's vital point.

No matter in which dynasty, the generals who support the army cannot be involved in the government, which is a very taboo topic.

Yue Fei retreated, his face pale, as white as ashes.

Maybe he regretted it a little, but as the heir of Zong Ze's concept, Yue Fei was never able to restrain himself.

What he is doing is to ask Gaozong to return the imperial power to the descendants of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Going a little deeper, Yue Fei was asking an emperor in his early thirties to appoint a foreigner as the crown prince.

Could it be that Emperor Gaozong, who was in his thirties, was very old? Is it old enough to have to give up the Emperor's position so urgently?

Yue Fei's actions not only made Emperor Gaozong, who was eager to seek his son, very angry, but even made the new prime minister Zhao Ding, who had always admired Yue Fei very much, very dissatisfied.

Therefore, Zhao Ding openly said in the court: "Flying does not follow the guard, and even this." ”

Not only that, Zhao Ding also specially found Yue Fei's staff officer Xue Bi and admonished him:

"The general is outside, how can he do major things with the court, and he would rather avoid suspicion. Feiwuren, I don't know why, Nakamura Hidecai taught him. The public returns, and there is no order to do this in the curtain, which is not the reason for preserving the fame and fame. ”。 (To be continued......)
