After that, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong made another adjustment to the superstructure. On October 4, Shangshu's right servant shot Han Zhongyan was promoted to Shangshu's left servant and his subordinate servant. On the 9th, Zeng Bu, a member of the Privy Council, was transferred to the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu. On November 16, the Privy Council was appointed by An Tao. On the 18th, Shangshu Youcheng Huang Lu was dismissed. On the 29th, Fan Chunli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the right secretary of the book.

On November 26, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun sent an envoy to Liao to ask for marriage.

At the same time, on November 8, Zhao Ji promulgated an edict, expounding his ruling spirit: From now on, there will be no difference between Yuanfeng and Yuanyou in terms of military affairs and employment standards, let alone the old and new parties. Do things only to see whether it is feasible and appropriate. Distinguish between loyalty and treachery, use sacrifice to advance and retreat, just to see if it is reasonable... In a word, comrades, we must unite! Work quietly and hard to build the country! For this reason, next year's New Year's name is set as the slogan of "building Yasukuni in China"! Many people were trembling with excitement, and finally stopped engaging in political campaigns!

Up to this, this history has been sung by the history books of the past dynasties, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to highlight the achievements at this time, it was nicknamed "Xiao Yuanyou" is very appropriate! It's so much like it at every point! For example, the image project is extremely perfect, successfully shaping Zhao Ji's glorious image, and even raising the prestige of celebrities such as Fan Chunren and Su Shi to a new height. But on the other hand, these things are exactly the same as the period when the 'female Zhong Yao Shun' was in power: only fame, not the slightest benefit to the national economy and people's livelihood!

This kind of good days are very short, the life of the old party is too bitter, it is easy to look forward to the emergence of a new and powerful empress dowager, but it has not been as strong as the empress dowager Gao, on January 13, the first year of the Yasukuni (1101), Song Zhezong died exactly 1 year later, and the Empress Dowager Xiang actually died of illness!

She died, and the political weather vane immediately wavered. For more than ten years, the political situation of the Great Song Dynasty has been changing-Song Shenzong has changed the law. Change it once. Empress Dowager Gao was in power, and it changed once. Song Zhezong was pro-government and changed once. Zhezong is dead, and he has changed again... It's been 4 times before and after, and these people who are still left in the top officialdom have long since become deformed gold and steel! According to the needs of the situation, everyone has N multiple forms to transform at will!

Then turn your eyes to the Great Liao Kingdom. On the same day that Empress Dowager Xiang died, on January 13, 1101, the 70-year-old Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, who had successfully survived the death of the four generations of Emperor Ren, Ying, Shen and Zhe, finally died, and was succeeded by his eldest grandson, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, the eldest son of the most genius and wronged prince Yelu Jun. Both Song and Liao ushered in their respective kings of the dead country. In the new era, the new strong man dominates everything! The traditional three powerhouses of Song, Liao, and Xia had to be reduced to supporting roles!

On February 1, along with the amnesty edict of the Yuan Reform, it was promulgated the holy decree of Yelu Yanxi to redress the unjust case of that year. The edict "for those who were framed by Yelu Yixin, their official titles will be restored." But on the 14th, Yelu Yanxi drove out the great benefactor, the great loyal minister, and Taifu Xiao Wuna, who saved him at the most critical juncture, and appointed him as the envoy of the Liaoxing Army. On June 13, Yelu Yanxi named his clan uncle, the grandson of Liao Xingzong, Yelu and Lu Hu, as the generalissimos of the world's soldiers and horses.

This time, the person who wants to change is Zeng Bu. By attributes, he is the new party. But when you do things, you will always like the old party in their hearts. Wang Anshi was in power. He was the first to dismantle the new party from within. When Zhang Dian was in power, he was simply the spokesman for the interests of the old party, openly opposing and secretly stumbling up. The use of various tricks made Zhang Dian quite depressed.

But then it was his turn to be depressed, and in any case, he was the new party. But he only brought down an old party on June 2 - Shangshu Youcheng Fan Chunli. With the dismissal of two members of the New Party, the Privy Councillor An Tao on July 26 and Li Qingchen, the servant of his disciple on October 6. In the blink of an eye, among the rulers. He is the only one left in the New Party. And he is still the second prime minister, and there is a big prime minister above him - Han Zhongyan, the second son of the veteran minister Han Qi.

Even this position of deputy prime minister was obtained by him when Song Zhezong died, fell to the old party, helped Empress Dowager Xiang suppress Zhang Dan, and supported Zhao Ji. Now the Empress Dowager Xiang is dead. There is no need to pretend to be a grandson, the first step is to bring down Han Zhongyan and grab the position of prime minister!

To this end, Zeng Bu had to do two things: 1. Let Song Huizong re-lean towards the new party; 2 We must support a person in the new party and use this person to bring down Han Zhongyan!

So Zeng Bu began to chant in the ears of Song Huizong like Tang Seng: We want to explain, we want to explain... Finally, Song Huizong was moved. On November 22, an edict was issued: change the name of next year's year to Chongning! It means: we must advocate the Xining period (Song Shenzong year name) everything should be done according to the rules of the Xining period!

At the end of the dynasty on the 24th, Zeng Bu stayed alone and presented a picture to Song Huizong. Deng Xunwu's son Deng Xunwu's painting "The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu"

Deng Xunwu, a genuine Jinshi background, well-read and strong, proficient in history, Song Zhezong served as the secretary of the provincial orthography, school scrivener, and the National History Academy editor, and the specific work was to recompile the "Shenzong Record". It's ideal! With the hatred of him and his father for the Empress Dowager Gao, it is conceivable what the Empress Dowager Gao can become in his book. She is an old witch, and she is not allowed to grow horns on her head and hair on the back of her head, and eat 3 children for supper every night? It's written a little harder, but the sequelae have also appeared! After Song Zhezong's death, he was targeted by the Empress Dowager Xiang and her gang and taught him a hard lesson!

Deng Xunwu was very disappointed, and at the critical moment, a heavy minister who was about to be unlucky helped him! Cai Jing supported Deng Xunwu before he was demoted and kept him back to the National Academy of History. This seems to be an idle move, but it is crucial to the fate of Cai Jing's life! What is a smart person? Cai Jing's most brilliant point lies in kindness! There is no one who comes into contact with Cai Jing who does not say that he is kind! No matter what he did, everyone who saw him would be like a spring breeze. From the beginning when he was in a lower position, he had zero rejection of his leaders and colleagues, and he was always prosperous in the future, no matter when and where, even if he was hurting the heavens and harming the world, he was smiling...

This is the so-called "attitude determines everything", even if you say good words, even if you say it with scolding, no one will accept it, and you may even have a grudge. And with a three-point smile, even if it hurts anyone, it is "accidental"...

Now the payoff is here! Deng Xunwu wants to get Cai Jing back to Kaifeng City, how crazy is this idea. In order to achieve the goal, Deng Xunwu made a lot of preparations. There are so many numerical theories and perfect shocking effects, he believes that as long as he throws it, it will definitely make Zhao Ji's blood boil and he can't control himself. But he was still careful. Because these have to be built on a premise - does Zhao Ji have the same soul as his father and brother? What once made Zhao Xu's heart move, will it also make Zhao Ji nostalgic? This is really inaccurate, since Zhao Ji ascended the throne for most of the first half a year, how "old party" he was... But who can forget: Zhao Xu endured from the age of 10 to the age of 19. During this period, the Empress Dowager Gao was allowed to do whatever she wanted, and her perseverance was extremely rare among the emperors of the past dynasties!

After thinking about it, maybe the younger brother is a little similar to the older brother? But even if it's not like it, you have to do what you have to do, especially now that the Queen Mother Xiang is dead! On this day, Deng Xunwu finally found an opportunity to approach the new emperor alone, and the opening remarks of "Congratulations to Your Majesty" were very formal.

Zhao Ji's "Where does the joy come from" The emperor is also very used to it, after all, he has to be congratulated many times every day.

Deng Xunwu: "Your Majesty has chosen a good number of assistants. Han Xianggong and Zeng Xianggong are expected to return to the public"

Zhao Ji was silent, someone had already said this two days ago, it was Xu Tao, a member of the Zhongshu House. It is likely that this will be remembered in the history books. But now Deng Xunwu is here, and there is no red envelope for the second time!

But I heard Deng Xunwu sigh and say, "It's a pity..."

"It's a pity," Zhao Ji was immediately alert.

Deng Xunwu said the following paragraph: "Your Majesty is the son of the first emperor, and Prime Minister Han Zhongyan is the son of the late ruler Han Qi. The first emperor reformed and implemented the new law, but Han Qi opposed it, and now Han Zhongyan is in power and continues to oppose the new law. From this point of view, it is Han Zhongyan who can inherit his father's will, but His Majesty can't."

Zhao Ji's expression changed greatly, this is an insult! He who is the son of man succeeds his father. This is the minimum duty, the pride of continuing the bloodline, and the recognition of the father! If not, it is not an acknowledgment that the parents are at fault. It's your own incompetence! How can this make a young man who has just turned 21 years old endure it? But what can you say? Everything he did before really betrayed his father and brother!

In the embarrassing silence, Deng Xunwu insisted, of course he didn't come to deliberately insult the emperor. Now the situation is good, everything is under control, the emperor's mood is fluctuating ... He then said, "Do you want to tell the story of your father and brother?"

Zhao Ji was even more silent... How could he not want to! It's something you don't have to think about at all. As a 21-year-old youth. He was only born in the last years of Shenzong, and he was too young in the era of Shenzong, so he didn't have an impression and didn't comment on it. But what the Empress Dowager Gao and Song Zhezong did, he witnessed with his own eyes. Who provoked the national party struggle and who fought for the national interests, as long as there is a little sense, it will be clear!

Zhao Ji is a new party, and Zhao Ji's heart is working hard! That's absolutely right! Even in the future sea alliance, Zhao Ji's starting point is still because he is working hard to reach the city!

Zhao Ji was excited, but hesitated. Because he is cautious, why did he endure Xiang Xiang's Queen Mother for so long before? It's just to sit on the throne first! Now even if you are tempted, you can't say anything... Joke, whoever comes to the excitement wants to let this emperor take the single-plank bridge? How easy is the new law to implement? My father and brother died so early, they were all tired of changing the law!

What he thought of, Deng Xunwu had also thought about before he came. At this time, he decided to show the biggest hole cards that he had carefully prepared, whether it was success or failure, in one fell swoop! Deng Xunwu carefully took out a scroll and handed it to Song Huizong Zhao Ji! This scroll draws a list, similar in form to the chronology of the "Historical Records", divided into 7 categories according to the prime minister, the consul, the attendant, the taiji, the langguan, the pavilion, and the school, and each category is divided into two columns on the left and right - the new party on the left and the old party on the right!

On the side of the old party, the names of the people are like dense ants, from the chief minister to the attendants, the Manchu Dynasty is full of civil and military personnel, and there are more than 100 people! The new party on the other side is very pitiful, in the column of Zaizhi, there is only 1 person, it is Wen Yi, who has just been promoted!

That's how it was! The new party has been completely devalued, and only one Wen Yi remains! Who is Wen Yi? Do you know this little-known person, dear reader? As for Zengbu, is he a new party? He is the most shameless wall-riding faction in the Song Dynasty in the past 20 years, and he is two-faced!

This paper scroll, which swept the entire imperial court and divided the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, very accurately reflected Zhao Ji's mood at this time. Sad! Who will help you if you want to change the law? An emperor without wings is worse than a chicken! To have one’s hands tied... Yes, this is the famous "Map of Aimohelp" in history!

But if this "Picture of Love Mo Help" just shows despair, of course it is not Deng Xunwu's purpose! Zhao Ji soon discovered a secret, he saw that under the name of the new party on the left, in addition to Wen Yi, there was another place that was covered - there seemed to be something underneath, what was it?

At this time, Deng Xunwu walked up, took away the covered things, and revealed two words: "Your Majesty, if you want to inherit the will of your father and brother and revitalize the Song Dynasty, only this person can help you, and he must - Cai Jing"

Seeing this name, Zhao Ji was very hesitant. He thought about it for a while, and asked Zeng Bu, "Some people say that the country is prosperous, and Cai Jing must be the same." What do you think?"

The question is very subtle, and the answer is very classic. Zeng Bu said, "It is inconvenient for ministers to participate in discussions", which is really a subtle and elegant answer. It is not explicit, but also clearly expresses its opinion.

From the beginning of asking Zeng Bu, Zhao Ji had a plan in his heart. Otherwise, why didn't you ask Han Zhongyan? The next day, he went to ask another member of the new party, Wen Yi, Shangshu Youcheng, "Wen Qing, it's up to you to operate this matter" Wen Yi happily accepted the order, this is really something that all the new party likes, if nothing else, no one is unhappy that someone can sing against the old party...

In fact, Cai Jing is also super in line with Zeng Bu's interests, he just wants to support Cai Jing to destroy Han Zhongyan! And Cai Jing was selected by Zeng Bu for the following reasons:

1 This person must have a certain identity, otherwise he will not be able to enter the top officialdom and will not be able to fight against the prime minister; 2 This person must be a new party, and the old party can not be commanded; 3 This person's foundation is worse than Zeng Bu's, even if he knows that he is used as a gun, he can't refuse, let alone retaliate; 4 This man must be at the low ebb of officialdom at this moment, so that when he has given this man an opportunity, he cannot fail to grasp it; 5This man must have a good temperament, and be able to stir up trouble and cause disputes. But at the critical moment, he can still be obedient and not let the contradiction expand... Looking at the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there are really not too many people who meet the above 5 points, and Cai Jing can be said to be the only one!

Cai Jing is obedient and has zero refusal of service to all superiors. Cai Jing was able to fight, and personally concocted the unjust case of Tongwenguan, and threw the old party and the Empress Dowager Gao to the forefront. Cai Jing is talented, and he is a first-class elegant person in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and in some respects he is not comparable to the chief writer Su Shi. Cai Jing was also very unlucky, he had been working hard for decades, and at this time he was affected by Zhang Dian and was demoted to the southern city of Hangzhou as an idle official... (To be continued......)
