Li Xianzhong's envoy did not attract too many people's attention. There are not many people who know the inside story, and the pride of the Song people is not enough for the emperor's decision to bring foreign cavalry to help in the war. And in order to be ashamed of His Holiness, he had to be silent about Zhao Huan's decision.

And the ministers who really knew Zhao Huan's intentions naturally wouldn't take their net worth as a joke.

In the silence of the dynasty, Li Xianzhong waved goodbye to Zhang Xian and embarked on the journey. And Zhang Xian also returned to the camp and continued to train his recruits.

Soon after, another major event attracted people's attention, making Li Xianzhong's envoy soon more forgotten.

In February of the seventh year of Jingkang, the emperor issued an edict, ordering the governor Zhang to be dismissed as a bachelor of the Ruiming Palace, the court, and the governor Xie Liang was dismissed as the governor of Tanzhou, and the two loyal ministers were dismissed together, and the successor Yu Ping, who was known for being a cool official, in recent years, under his control, the Department of Integrity has been effective in suppressing corruption, and countless corrupt officials have been dismissed, and the study classes under the jurisdiction of the department have made many officials change their style.

Unlike the previous dynasties, which had no way to deal with the talkative scholars and officials, Zhao Huan's study class was used by future generations to make the officials more afraid than any derogatory and dismissal. If you don't beat or scold, it is not considered abuse, but it makes you lose your personal freedom, and endless meetings, preaching, studying, writing materials, and reporting your learning experience make all the officials who enter the class to study very annoying, and they do not realize their mistakes in the so-called spirit and body, and it is impossible to graduate from the class.

In this way, this kind of study class has suppressed different opinions and cowardly and incompetent officials, and has caused a considerable number of officials to really change their way of thinking, and after they come out, most of them will become good officials.

Yu Ping has made great contributions, but he also has a lot of grievances. In addition, he is really cold and mean, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he has indeed made a lot of mistakes. The seal of impeachment of him has not ceased for several years, and this person has become a governor and at the same time still promoted to the Department of Integrity, and the improvement of his status will inevitably make this person more and more powerful in his hands, and more and more officials can be rectified.

Zhang Shou's appointment caused very little controversy, and most of them even applauded. Compared with Zhang Suo and Xie Liang, this person is not famous. In fact, he is a rare organizational cadre who knows the big things and forgets small interests, is humble and easy, and is quite ethical, and is better at adjusting the relationship between the chief officer and his subordinates, and separating responsibilities and powers.

Zhao Huan used him to leave a prime minister who was honest and honest and had a peaceful personality in the governor's political affairs, so that the pattern of the political affairs hall would not be too unbalanced, and the so-called imperial mind was nothing more than that.

At the beginning of their tenure. The responsibilities are clear. Yu Ping's energy is still on the rule of officials. Zhang Shou is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the organization and promotion of officials in the entire imperial court, and Zhao Kai is also in charge of the three divisions. Qin Hui began the construction of Chang'an Taixue Zhushe and the recruitment of school teachers.

In February, Qin Hui and Yu Ping connected the recital, please set up a school, please establish a farmland water conservancy law, please resume the green seedling law, please resume the law of square land average tax.

As soon as everyone was sparse, not only the officialdom of Chang'an was shaken, but also all parts of the country were shocked.

Xiangyang Li Gang continued to sparse. opposed the laws, and even said that he would return to Chang'an in person to meet the emperor to explain the matter.

Many local officials have also written a series of letters opposing the re-enactment of the law.

Different from Cai Jing's fake model and fake re-implementation of the new law, everyone in the world knows the emperor Zhao Huan's mental scheming and resourcefulness at this time, as well as his resolute character. Not only Cai Jing can't be compared, but even the Divine Sect of the year can't be compared.

Except for a few insiders, the officialdom of Chang'an was in turmoil. Compared with the mood of the entire officialdom worried about changing the law, such as the continuous transfer of materials, the deployment of new soldiers to the frontline battlefield, and the deployment of many reserve excellent generals from the far frontiers of the empire to the battlefields in various places.

Zhao Kai was the prime minister, and the entire three divisions, that is, the degree branch, salt and iron, and the household department, were all under his control, and the financial affairs of the entire Song Dynasty were prepared by him.

In the past few years, the imperial court has saved many unnecessary expenses, and last year it was a big reduction in the number of prefectures, counties and central officials, and even the number of people in the inner court was dozens of times less than in the Xuanhe period, and the reduction of the forbidden army saved a lot of military spending. Most of this money was used to replace army equipment, strengthen the treatment of the main force of the forbidden army, build and develop new equipment, and then Xinge farmland and water conservancy, roads and bridges, in fact, most of them were used to prepare for the entire battlefield.

Not long after the New Year, the financial planning for the entire Jingkang seven-year period was also urgently relocated, and this kind of financial system of calculating income at the beginning of the year and then formulating plans according to income is more complicated and complicated than the original simple financial method of first determining income and then collecting taxes according to income, and it also requires more specialized and excellent financial personnel.

But the lack of financial talent has been the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty, the style of scholars and doctors without saying profits, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past hundred years, compared with the Tang Dynasty that can serve as an important minister with high finance, the Song Dynasty science has gradually risen, and many disadvantages of Confucianism have begun to appear. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer specialized financial talents, not to mention lower-level arithmetic and financial masters, all kinds of disadvantages, plus this year's financial expenditures are becoming more and more numerous, the entire three divisions mobilized thousands of officials and officials to work together, and they were busy for a New Year, and only under the emperor's repeated urging, the calculation was hurriedly completed.

Unlike ordinary Wenchen, Zhao Kai is the prime minister, Zhao Huan and the cardinal council made a plan to make a war can not be hidden in front of him, as soon as the plan is completed, he will retreat from everyone, simply summarize by himself, carefully put it in his sleeve, and come to the palace to invite the emperor.

He is the most trusted and the least involved in political affairs, and like later generations, a technical bureaucrat can indeed reduce a lot of open guns and hidden arrows.

The weather was gradually getting warmer, and when Zhao Kai arrived in the palace, he knew that the emperor was riding a horse. Although the area of the palace is not large, fortunately, there are not many people, compared with the general official office, it is still a lot more spacious, Zhao Huan rides and shoots every day, and it is always inconvenient to go out, so the subordinates have built a horse road in the palace, which is winding and long, which is enough for galloping.

Zhao Kai glanced at the sun, knowing that he had come too early today, he smiled to himself, and waited outside the palace where Zhao Huan did his daily work.

Who knew that when they arrived at the main hall, when the waiter moved the chair, they saw that Qin Hui and Yu Ping were also there, and the two were talking and laughing, watching the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the palace, whispering and discussing, and it was obvious that the friendship was extraordinary.

He was bored for a while, these two people have joined forces to make trouble recently, although Zhao Kai concentrates on the matter of wealth and wealth, and basically ignores other things, but he still feels that the so-called change of the law is too dangerous, and it is not suitable to put forward it at this time, and the two people in front of him only focus on interests, and they bewitch the Holy Monarch to mess with themselves, which is really disgusting.

According to the rules left by the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister worked in the government hall until noon, and the emperor still gave a banquet, called the hall food, and the prime ministers ate together, and the banquet could also discuss government affairs, unify views, and avoid disputes.

Since Yu Ping's visit to the city last month, Zhao Xingzhong is really displeased, and often abandons the hall under the pretext of being busy with affairs, so that everyone also knows his thoughts, Yu Ping is a person who has revenge and wants to rectify Zhao Kai, but because this person is responsible for the entire financial power, the emperor has a very heavy responsibility for him, and he doesn't dare to start for a while.

Although everyone didn't like each other, in the end, as the prime minister, they refused to lose their ministerly demeanor, as soon as Yu Ping and Qin Hui heard the movement, they both turned around, and saw that it was Zhao Kai who was here, the two nodded and smiled together, and bowed their hands to Zhao Kai and said: "Zhao Gong is also here, is it Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Kai returned the salute and said with a smile: "This is not it, but the third division has already calculated this year's expenses, and a certain person has come to inform Your Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Hui and Yu Ping understood each other, and said together: "This matter is important, Your Majesty has been very anxious recently, and has been urging again and again." ”

Yu Ping said: "I don't know how the envoy fee is this year, how is the income?" ”

Zhao Kai smiled indifferently and said to him: "Yu Gong Meng Lang, the Son of Heaven has not heard of this matter, how can the minister dare to ask himself!" ”

Yu Ping is indeed a little Meng Lang, but after Zhao Huan comes over, Zhao Kai will inevitably talk about it, at this time, it is just a small embarrassment for this new counselor.

Yu Ping secretly hated in his heart, and his face was also sneering, Qin Hui hurriedly turned around and said: "Zhao Gong is cautious, but my generation is in charge of the three divisions, although the public is responsible for the financial endowment of the three divisions, but I and Yu Gong are also consulted, it is a premeditated plan, what can we do?" ”

Zhao Kai said coldly: "Counsellors have their own duties, this is Your Majesty's words, is Prime Minister Qin dissatisfied with Your Majesty's punishment?" ”

Qin Hui secretly hated in his heart, knowing that this person was in charge of finance, and he was really far behind in being an official, so he had to endure it and back down at the moment.

Zhao Kai smiled again: "If Li Xianggong is here, he can naturally say it." Li Xiang's fair chapter military and state affairs, what things in the world can't be predicted? I heard that he was going to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty, and it was even possible that he would preside over the overall situation in Chang'an, so that many things would be more convenient. ”

Yu Ping and Qin Hui looked at each other silently, for an old minister like Li Gang, their qualifications and prestige are too far apart, and Li Gang, as a military and state affairs of Pingzhang, has never been entrusted with the important task of being a minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can also be seen how much the emperor trusts and relies on Li Gang. If this person really came to Chang'an, the political hall is naturally responsible to him first, and he will deal with all the things, this person is different from the prime ministers of the previous dynasties, who are only about sixty years old, energetic, dare to take responsibility, and it is both political and military, if he really comes, the future days will naturally be sad and tight.

was speechless, but Zhao Huan laughed outside: "Li Gang will not come here, I will naturally have a decision about his coming to Chang'an." ”

"Your Majesty......"
