Li Tingzhi didn't like Zhao Jiaren, and he also found that most people from Jinshi didn't like Zhao Jiaren. Zhang Shijie was not born as a Jinshi, so Li Tingzhi wanted to test Zhang Shijie's attitude. Drinking with Zhang Shijie and listening to Zhang Shijie's criticism of Zhao Jiaren, a powerful minister, Li Tingzhi felt that there was a drama.

When Zhang Shijie was silent, Li Tingzhi continued to look for a point of convergence between the two sides, and he said: "Commander Zhang, now only the military salary of the Imperial Forest Army is as much as that of our Privy Council. I don't know, you know. ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Shijie disagreed.

Returning to Lin'an this time, Taiwei Zhao said that everyone should experience difficulties when the country is in danger. Everyone's money has been cut, your Imperial Guards have only been cut by half, and we have all cut them by eighty. It's just a meal ticket for the canteen, and something is sent during the New Year's holidays. The meals on our table were bought with meal tickets, and these wines were distributed during the Chinese New Year. If I had to ask for it, I wouldn't be able to afford it. Li Tingzhi showed up to point out the difficulties of the Privy Council.

Zhang Shijie couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this. Wine is good wine, and Zhang Shijie himself can get benefits like Li Tingzhi. Compared to the two-pot head and rum provided by Welfare, the ones he had drunk before could only be called 'water'. As for this dish, there is nothing wrong with the dish of two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Not to mention the beef jerky and lion's head, it is fried leeks with eggs and garlic and wheat vegetables, which are full of oil and flavor, and taste very fragrant. Zhang Shijie felt that this reason was not very tenable.

Seeing Zhang Shijie's reaction, Li Tingzhi immediately felt that this meal was a loss. However, Li Tingzhi did not give up, he smiled: "I didn't know Taiwei Zhao's ability, but now I finally know." I admire Taiwei Zhao himself very much. But now Zhao Taiwei Weifu uses it for his own use, and completely treats the court as an ornament. I don't think that's right. ”

Even Fang Cai couldn't help but laugh at Li Tingzhi's enjoyment standard a little, Zhang Shijie couldn't help but nod slightly. Zhao Taiwei is indeed Weifu for his own use, and the official queen mother and court officials can only snort in front of Zhao Taiwei. That's a bit too much.

Li Tingzhi was optimistic that it was not easy to get some progress, and hurriedly continued: "I know that Taiwei is a minister of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no Taiwei, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand the Mongol onslaught, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold Yangzhou." Therefore, even if the Queen Mother is in the court, we and others resolutely support the Taiwei. I think Commander Zhang also thinks the same way. ”

"If it is proposed by Vice Envoy Li when it is discussed in the imperial court, I will support Vice Envoy Li." Zhang Shijie also expressed his attitude.

"This ...... I think it's better for the Queen Mother to raise this matter herself. Li Tingzhi said what he thought.

After eating, Zhang Shijie said goodbye and returned to the palace. Li Tingzhi returned to the Privy Council. The money is not only given to the Guards on the 25th of every month, but also to the Privy Council. The Privy Council officials also had to make watches and send them to the household with the Guards. Now Xu Yuanzhi, the head of the household department, is Zhao Jiaren's cronies, although Xu Yuanzhi is also a Jinshi, but because he did not hand over the power to manage money at all, he is now considered by the Jinshi officials in Lin'an to be Zhao Jiaren's personal minister. However, Li Tingzhi still took this opportunity to meet Xu Yuanzhi.

Since it was the privy deputy envoy who came to ask for a meeting in person, Xu Yuanzhi also had to see him. Knowing that Li Tingzhi was actually here to hand over the watch, Xu Yuanzhi knew that there must be something else in it. So Xu Yuanzhi simply said directly: "Deputy Envoy Li, I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I can't talk to you today." ”

Li Tingzhi had to hurriedly respond: "Xu Shangshu, I heard that the state has not been able to collect taxes now?" ”

"This is a matter for our household, and the Privy Council shouldn't ask about it." Xu Yuanzhi blocked Li Tingzhi's problem without leaking.

was hit back by such a powerful response, Li Tingzhi could only change the question, "I'm wondering if it's because of insufficient money, so the forbidden army has not been reorganized." ”

Xu Yuanzhi still said in a businesslike tone, "When to reorganize the forbidden army is a matter for the privy envoy and Prime Minister Zuo." If Deputy Envoy Li has any questions, please ask Taiwei Zhao. ”

After listening to this, Li Tingzhi was able to determine that Xu Yuanzhi was Zhao Jiaren's hardcore. If he was a person with his own ideas like Zhang Shijie, Xu Yuanzhi would not answer like this anyway.

After going out, Li Tingzhi calculated in his heart that Sima Kao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was reactivated because of Zhao Jiaren, and his position did not need to be asked. Although the Ministry of Rites is a Jinshi, although the Ministry of Rites has no real power, that is, it can speak. Li Boyu, the head of the household department, had offended Jia Yidao before, and when he was the governor of Qingyuan Mansion, he and Zhao Jiaren worked together to carry out the flexible public land reform, and the results were good. It is obviously impossible to expect him to oppose Zhao Jiaren, and it will be very good for this person to be neutral at that time. Zhao Jiaren arranged a temporary replacement for a cadre.

Looking at the power structure in the imperial court, Li Tingzhi found that he could not see the possibility of the success of the Empress Dowager's decision. If the Queen Mother can't come to the court, Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei can do things according to their own ideas. The situation of Zhao Taiwei Weifu's own use will continue. Thinking while walking, Li Tingzhi even considered whether he was gambling on his future, publicly connected with the personnel, and forcibly forced Zhao Jiaren to express his position.

In any case, Zhao Jiaren is a courtier. If he does not allow the Empress Dowager to come to the court, it is tantamount to openly expressing his attitude of seizing power, and such political pressure is by no means something that Zhao Jiaren can ignore. Li Tingzhi just thought about it, and then retreated. Back then, Jia Rudao spared no effort to crack down on dissidents. Taiwei Zhao is not inferior to Jia Yidao in terms of power and tactics. At that time, Li Tingzhi was afraid that he would be killed if he couldn't see the result.

Thinking about things in his heart, Li Tingzhi didn't notice that he was being watched. Watching in the back are the staff of the Anti-Rape Committee, who, after internal discussions, have recently concluded that they have reached the point of closing the net and killing all the traitors. The report has been sent to Mrs. Zhao, and he is waiting for Mrs. Zhao to make a decision.

During this period, the Anti-Rape Committee was not idle. They continued their work, and the Song traitor was like a river that flowed endlessly, the previous batch died, and the new batch got up. For example, in Fuzhou, Dong Yongnian, who is the backbone of the Anti-Traitor Committee, once thought that after the spy network of the Great Cannibal was destroyed, the Great Cannibal would stop.

In fact, the result was that the Great Cannibal felt even more panic. With that gang of people who didn't think they were Song people at all, when the Song people attacked the guys who colluded with Mongolia in the Great Cannibals, the entire Great Cannibal Group became nervous. They thought it meant that the Great Song was cracking down on the entire cannibal group.

was able to rise in the anti-traitor committee, that is, when others wishfully thought that the big cannibal would stop, Ding Fei thought that the big cannibal would never stop. After an intensified investigation, it was finally discovered that the Great Cannibal was about to riot at that time. In the end, it was not only the big cannibals who participated in the rebellion, but also the people of Fujian who believed in the True God Cult.

Ding Fei has the same attitude this time, he thinks that the scale of Song traitor will not become smaller. As long as there are external forces, many people have the desire to collude with external forces to make profits for them. has such thoughts, so including the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Li Tingzhi, has also become the target of surveillance. Because there are already seven Song traitors in the Privy Council who can be determined, the entire Privy Council is focusing on the target of surveillance.

And Li Tingzhi's actions were naturally recorded and sent back to the Anti-Rape Committee, and the analysis team headed by Dong Yongnian analyzed it for real people.

Dong Yongnian didn't think that Zhang Shijie would rebel, "Lao Ding, what the Mongolians are most worried about now is that something happens to the official family and the queen mother." Do you think that if something happens, who will become an official? ”

"Of course it's Captain Zhao." Ding Fei replied without hesitation. Although it involved the issue of the official family's accession to the throne, this answer did not make the members of the Anti-Adultery Committee feel arrogant. In the eyes of Jinshi or anyone else, Zhao Jiaren's clan needs to overcome many problems if he wants to ascend the throne. In the eyes of Zhao Jiaren's subordinates, since Zhao Jiaren is the real Zhao family, of course he should be the emperor.

"Is it good news for Mongolia that Taiwei Zhao became an official?" Dong Yongnian said with a smile.

Ding Fei nodded, "You're right, if the Mongols send someone to kill the official family and the Queen Mother, then there is also Zhang Shijie, who has protected the official family and the Queen Mother from the beginning, to carry it." But if you think about it differently, what do they want to do with the Queen Mother? For example, if the Queen Mother suddenly ordered to kill Zhao Taiwei, or to send Zhao Taiwei. ”

"How is that possible!" Dong Yongnian felt that Ding Fei's words were too alarmist.

Ding Fei Zhengse said: "Whether she dares to do it or not is different from whether she has the right to do it." Have you read the title of this year's imperial examination? Shi Miyuan colluded with Empress Yang, and they dared to kill Prime Minister Han Yanxuan. The end result? It was not the same as changing the policy at that time. ”

Dong Yongnian did not speak. Ding Fei's earnestness is very famous in the anti-rape committee, and many people, including Dong Yongnian, think that Ding Fei has done something wrong. However, it turned out that many people, including Dong Yongnian, were wrong. Ding Fei couldn't predict exactly who Song Traitor was, but Ding Fei could see that Song Traitor would appear in that vote.

From the perspective of the Anti-Traitor Committee, Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang are both Song traitors, but those Song traitors did seize power through actions. In addition to killing Han Yanxuan, Shi Miyuan also forced to kill the crown prince established by the official family Ningzong and established Song Lizong.

Once power is in its hands, it is no longer moved by reason. Like Zhao Taiwei, a ruler who openly speaks the truth that everyone accepts and acts according to the reason, Dong Yongnian has only seen Zhao Taiwei.

"Then the people Li Tingzhi has seen are they going to be monitored?" Dong Yongnian asked.

"Record time. If we are people, we have all kinds of meeting records, and even conversation records. Ding Fei replied.

"What if it weren't for our people? We don't have that many people. Dong Yongnian expressed his opinion.

"I don't think Li Tingzhi is a traitor. But Li Tingzhi must be trying to do something. Let's send someone to keep an eye on Li Tingzhi alone, and keep it secret. Ding Fei gave a clear idea. More content, Ding Fei didn't want to say too clearly. Because this involves the definition of Song traitor.
