Ding Wei is just like Kou Zhun at the beginning. After both the civil and military sides were settled by him, he threw his temper on the two most sacred people at that time - Song Renzong Zhao Zhen and the Empress Dowager Liu E.

Coincidentally, one day, 13-year-old Xiao Zhao Zhen suddenly felt very uncomfortable and said that he couldn't get up for anything. But the time of the early dynasty came, and it was necessary to go out to meet the people, because the ministers would wait in the front hall on time to be summoned. Once this matter spreads, it will make all the subjects lose respect for the little emperor who has not yet been in power, and even lose confidence. So Empress Dowager Liu sent a decree to let the ministers go to her first to discuss matters. And let everyone not worry, the emperor is just too young, and today is just a little bedridden.

But when the news reached the political hall, the prime ministers were all silent. Everyone found it tricky. Because the little emperor and the queen mother lived separately. At this time, the Queen Mother asked the ministers to come to her to work, what is this? The Queen Mother is not going to listen to the government, but to listen to the government alone!

Things are not complicated at all, and the top courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty instantly interpreted what the subtext of Empress Dowager Liu was. But how? Be silent with each other. Because there was a lack of one person in the government hall at that time: Prime Minister Ding Wei took sick leave that day and did not come to work.

After thinking about it, the second prime minister Feng Zheng said to the attendant who came to deliver the decree, please return to the queen mother first, and Ding Xianggong will come in a while. Wait for him to come. And immediately send someone to urgently inform Ding Wei, what to do, please instruct quickly.

Ding Wei appeared immediately. This person went directly to the palace, threw all his colleagues aside, and went to single out the Queen Mother. The words spoken were high-sounding, righteous and stern, "The ministers and others have stopped hearing that the emperor has passed on the treasure and received the legacy, if the big government is moved elsewhere, then the society will ignore the reason, and it will be difficult to dare to obey it" Ding Wei held high the ancestral family law and the tablet of the emperor, and smashed the equally iron-fisted Liu E speechless.

After that, Ding Wei turned around and left the palace and came to the political affairs hall, "How can you be like this? Why wait for me? At that time, it should have been directly dismissed, and all the prime ministers bowed their heads and listened to the training.

Ding Wei felt a little cooler at this time, and went to the back dressing room to change clothes. He was also anxious to love him, and he rushed into the palace without knowing what clothes he was wearing. Behind him. Feng Zheng's face turned pale, and he quietly said to Lu Daozong, the governor of the political affairs, "This person only wants to be the Duke of Zhou, but let us be Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo."

In any case, Ding Wei was all the best in the very beginning of the Renzong Dynasty. Next, as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, it is time for him to do another serious thing.

To bury the first emperor Zhao Hengjian's mausoleum. In feudal society, this was the most important thing after the new emperor ascended the throne. Starting from Zhao Kuangyin, almost all the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty chose a cemetery for themselves before they died, and built a yin house. That's all self-indulgence. Zhao Kuangyin died an authentic violent death, and after he chose the cemetery, he would not know that there would be a "candlelight axe shadow" Zhao Guangyi in less than a year after choosing the cemetery, and he would be psychopathic at the end. It has become a habit to avoid medical treatment, who dares to mention a dead word to him? Also build a grave early? Zhao Heng was bent on meeting with the gods and demons of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and he was afraid that he would not have a good place after death? So his mausoleum has never been repaired.

So on February 21, 2 days after Zhao Heng's death, Ding Wei served as the privileged task of the prime ministers of the past dynasties - the envoy of the mountains. It was decided that the mausoleum should be completed by the end of July. This problem arises: the mausoleum was to be built in Luoyang Gong County, which Zhao Kuangyin chose during his lifetime. But Kaifeng City can't do without Ding Wei for a while, do you want him to run between the two places? It's so unkind, you have to find a stand-in.

Ding Wei's nightmare is here: the great eunuch Lei Yungong! At this time, Eunuch Lei had become the only bridge between the palace and the outside world. Not only did the emperor and the queen mother look at him differently, but even Ding Wei, who was at the peak, was "deeply virtuous" to him, because without him, Ding Wei would lose control over the inside of the palace.

So the eunuch Lei felt that he was being despised. The "mountain affair" is a symbol of great glory and privilege, and the cats and dogs are all in charge of the overall situation, why is my first eunuch in the palace isolated? This will not work! So he directly found Empress Dowager Liu. I strongly ask to stand up for the emperor, and you will let me dig the grave... But Liu E shook her head, "Lei, you have to think clearly." It's not that I won't let you go. Rather, considering that you have been in the palace since you were a child, you have never served as a foreign minister. Once you go outside, you don't understand too many things, and now you are in a high position, and the subordinates dare not disobey you. What if you make a mistake? That's going to hurt you," but Lei Yungong cried and howled, he must go...

So he got his wish. Liu E gave him the identity of the eunuch of the mountain tomb and went to Luoyang to preside over the major affairs of the mausoleum. Behind the smoke and dust that he rushed all the way to the air. Presumably, Ding Wei and Liu E both showed two completely different faces.

Ding: Damn! Worse than useless! Is it important to die the emperor, or is there a threat to the emperor and the queen mother who are alive now? What if something really happens when you run so far? Aren't you in my league now?

Liu: Hehe. You brought it on yourself... The mourning family has satisfied you with everything...

On March 6, Eunuch Lei rushed to the most popular grave digging site at that time, and immediately entered the role. At this time, Xing Zhonghe, the top feng shui master of the Great Song Dynasty and Si Tianjian, suddenly made a new discovery, found the great eunuch Lei, and solemnly reported, "According to the latest feng shui research, if the tomb of the first emperor is moved up 100 steps, it will be like the tomb of King Qin in Ruzhou, which will be of great benefit to future generations" Lei Yungong's eyes immediately lit up, "So what are you waiting for?" Dig quickly" "But..."Xing Zhonghe became spitting, "I'm afraid that there are too many stones there, and there will be underground water," that is the most taboo thing for building a mausoleum. When the yin house enters the water, the dead are uneasy, and the living are unfilial. This is a great crime. But Lei Yungong couldn't hear any negative warnings at all: "Don't talk nonsense!" The first emperor only had one heir. If it can really be beneficial to future generations like the tomb of King Qin, then immediately change the place, and immediately dig "Xing Zhonghe continued to shake his head" to change the cemetery for the emperor, which would have to go through many procedures. It will never be completed in July. Please think twice," but Lei Yungong told him to shut up completely, "I'll go meet the Queen Mother now." What kind of procedure do you have to go through for this little thing? As long as I speak, there's nothing wrong with that. Start work now, move the grave immediately! If it's delayed, you're the only one who asks."

Liu E couldn't figure it out, this Lei Yungong had just left the palace a few days ago, and suddenly jumped back again, and told her that her man's grave had now risen 100 steps, and that more than N emperors would be very good in the future... What's the benefit? Is there a share of my Liu E?

Liu E said lightly: "This is a big deal." How easy is this?" The major event of the emperor's mausoleum, is it that you as a eunuch can do whatever you want, and do whatever you want? You're thinking too simply, you're taking royalty too lightly, aren't you? But Lei Yungong's answer has lost the minimum consciousness and the deference that a eunuch should have, "Let the first emperor be a descendant, what is not possible" and forced the words of the Empress Dowager Liu back. Liu E endured and endured, "You go to the mountain envoy and see what he says"

But Ding Wei didn't know what to do, and he actually made the biggest and only mistake in his life. Knowing that it was impossible, he did not oppose it face-to-face, but did not say no. Double-talk. Lei Yungong immediately turned around and rushed back to the Queen Mother, "The mountain envoy has no objection," Liu E had nothing to say. Then listen to you guys and dig ...

But then, everything made Xing Zhonghe right. In the new tomb, there are large stone barriers, and the groundwater is rolling. Lei Yungong was dumbfounded, and the groundwater poured his whole body cold.

Xia Shouen is the general contractor of the mausoleum construction. If it doesn't meet the deadline in July, he won't be able to eat and walk around. On May 23, he truthfully reported the situation of the project to the imperial court, requesting that the location of the tomb be changed, otherwise it would be difficult to complete the work. Prime Minister Ding said that in order to cover up his mistakes, he can only make mistakes again and again. Cover it up for Lei Yungong.

But the paper couldn't contain the fire, and on the 25th, Mao Changda came back from the construction site. He is a little eunuch who can go straight to the palace and see the emperor and the queen mother. So Liu E knew everything. Ding Wei also knew that something was wrong, and ordered Lan Jizong and Wang Chengxun to inspect the construction site. On the 27th, Liu E ordered Yang Huaiyu, and on the 28th, Luo Chongxun and Li Weixin were ordered to investigate. Ding Wei's personnel arrangements have lost trust with the Queen Mother...

Lei Yungong wanted to take the construction drawings and go back to the court to see the Queen Mother in person. The Queen Mother did not allow it. Luo Chongxun and others were ordered to be interrogated on the spot. On June 3, Ma Renjun was sent to interrogate together.

The case is getting worse day by day. On the 5th, Lu Yijian and Lu Zongdao. On the 6th, Governor Wang Zeng went to Gong County to check. It was unanimously agreed that the tomb should be changed. Lei Yungong moved the imperial tomb without permission, and the sin is unforgivable!

At the same time, other crimes of the Great Eunuch Lei were also exposed: the embezzlement of 3,110 taels of gold, 4,630 taels of silver, 1,800 pieces of brocade silk, 43,600 beads, and 56 taels of jade. There is also 1 rhino belt originally scheduled for burial, 70 taels of medicine... On June 22, Lei Yungong was beaten to death with a stick, and the whole family was distributed.

This was just an opportunity, and the unauthorized removal of the imperial tomb quickly became a fuse. Blown up another person. And the first famous minister of the Renzong Dynasty began his own path to fame...

Wang Zeng pinched several things together in an instant. Lei Yungong, Luoyang, deputy envoy of Shanling, serious dereliction of duty; Ding Wei, Kaifeng, Shanling Zheng, not at the scene... But he instructed Lei Yungong to do so.

In order to make this idea a reality, Wang Zeng played another trick. Someday. He said to the other ministers as if chattering, "How sad it is, I still don't have a son..." It's sad... But Wang Zeng continued, "But fortunately, my brother and son have a lot of them, and they have already said it. He divided one with me, and after he retired from the court tomorrow, I asked the Queen Mother for instructions alone, "Everyone agreed again, and their eyes looked very joyful and ambiguous." I can't imagine that you, Wang Zeng, also have today, and you will have to ask for favor for your future "son" like us (the son of an official eunuch, you don't have to be born in a scientific examination). This is good. In the future, everyone will be dark, and you won't be able to talk to us about this anymore.

So after retiring from the court the next day, Wang Zeng justifiably met with the Queen Mother alone. When he carefully said the unique idea of bundling Lei Yungong and Ding Wei together for sale, I believe Liu E was very excited... She finally hoped that someone would dare to take the initiative to help her deal with Ding Wei! You must know that no matter how powerful the emperor is, he also needs the assistance of his courtiers. Besides, she was just a widow of a man who had just died. The situation is stronger than people, if all the courtiers are silent to the end, even if she is really Wu Zetian, she can only choose to endure it.

And Wang Zeng took the risk to find out the sincerity of the Empress Dowager Liu, and he had to confirm another crucial matter. If this thing is not done well, he and Liu E are both looking for death. If you want the other ministers to show their identity, whether your surname is Ding or Liu, stand in line immediately!

So on that day, Ding Wei was called to the palace by Empress Dowager Liu. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were questioned by the curtain and asked Ding Wei to explain the situation. Ding Wei tried to defend himself and distinguish himself from Lei Yungong's pig-headed behavior. And since he started to speak, behind the curtain has been quiet, never interrupting him from beginning to end, let alone scolding and accusing. So he kept talking again and again, and suddenly a small chamberlain appeared, "Who is the prime minister talking to?" The Queen Mother and the Emperor have long since left, "This is not a reprimand, it is contempt, it is not an accusation, it is an insult!" When he was the prime minister of the dynasty and was invincible in the country, he was actually played by someone to give a speech in front of a cloud of air.

On that day, Ding Wei only held the wat board in his hand and kowtowed and retreated. The news quickly spread throughout the officialdom, and everyone knew what kind of foreign appearance Ding Wei Ding Xianggong had just appeared.

The alliance was formed in an instant. Liu E, Wang Zeng, Feng Zheng, and Cao used a few brains to contact each other, and the plan was introduced.

On March 8, the Great Song Dynasty envoy Xue Yikuo came to the Great Khitan to report the news of Zhao Heng's death and Zhao Zhen's accession to the throne. On June 21, the Song envoy Xue Tian sent the relics of Song Zhenzong to the Great Khitan. The 52-year-old Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu personally paid tribute to the funeral and summoned all the ministers of the Han Dynasty to mourn for Zhao Heng. And said to his prime minister Lu Demao, "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is too young, if this child doesn't know what kind of war and peace happened back then, and he was told with ulterior motives, it would be really unimaginable" At this time, the Song Dynasty mourning messenger arrived. After a period of collusion between the two sides, Liao Shengzong felt better. It turns out that my imperial sister-in-law is so good. He turned to his Empress Xiao and said, "It's up to you to write to the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, so that you can be famous in China", and then ordered to set up a mourning hall for Zhao Heng in Fanyang Minzhong Temple and build a 100-day dojo. And ordered the whole country not to allow any place names or names to offend Zhao Heng's secrets.

On June 25th, during the lunch break, all the ministers had lunch together at Zishantang. Suddenly, the harem was called, and everyone had a share, except for Ding. He was left alone at the dinner table.

Ding Wei's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood what was going to happen. For the first time in his life, he showed his timidity in front of others, and asked his colleagues, hoping to say a few good words for him in front of the Queen Mother. All the high-ranking officials had different expressions, but they all just smiled gracefully at him... Only Qian Weiyan responded to him, "Do your best, don't worry about it" Feng Zheng next to him immediately glared at him, Qian Weiyan immediately shut up, and the group walked out of Zishantang without delay, leaving Ding Wei alone to face the cold scorching of the scraps...

Chengming Palace, Empress Dowager Liu had a serious face, "Ding Wei is the prime minister, but he is in contact with Lei Yungong, what crime should he be" Feng Zheng immediately echoed "Since the death of the first emperor, all political affairs are Ding Wei and Lei Yungong discussed and then told us, saying that it was a holy decree." We didn't know if it was true or not, so we had to do it. Now fortunately, his treacherous plot has been exposed, which is really the blessing of the Heavenly Sect Society" Immediately, the ministers, you and I said a word, and Ding Wei's sins became more and more said, and Empress Dowager Liu even wanted to eliminate harm for the people and kill Ding Wei. But this matter is not easy to do, Emperor Taizu has an ancestral family law of not killing ministers, which is related to everyone's vital interests, and this head must not be opened! Feng Zheng immediately asked the empress dowager for mercy on the grounds that the new emperor had only been on the throne for 4 months. Liu E's anger calmed down a little, and ordered Feng Zheng and the others to immediately discuss how to deal with it.

Ren Zhongzheng, the governor of the political affairs, asked Ding Wei for a sentence, please convict according to the 'eight discussions', Wang Zeng immediately retorted, "Ding Wei is disloyal and offends the temple." has been included in the 'heinous', what 'eight discussions' are there' to speak of" After the most Lu decided to dismiss the prime minister, the prince and the Taibao guarded Xijing. On the 28th, Ren Zhongzheng was also dismissed. (To be continued......)
