It is said that Chen Tianzhao, the king of the new Song Dynasty, was proud in his heart, and suddenly Empress Dowager Sun angrily broke into the Longde Palace.

Chen Tianzhao knew that Empress Sun had come to him to ask him about his guilt, but he unhurriedly tidied up his imperial clothes with his hands, and then respectfully asked Empress Dowager Sun to say goodbye.

Empress Dowager Sun looked at Chen Tianzhao's deferential appearance, and she really couldn't think of anything he could do.

After Chen Tianzhao saluted, he stood up, his eyes full of treachery.

Empress Dowager Sun, supported by Ye Tianhua, sat on the throne and asked the palace maids and eunuchs beside Chen Tianzhao, "Who deliberately spread the firewood prisoner to return to Beijing?" Just say it! The mourning family guarantees that the past will not be corrected! But if you don't tell it! Then you can only lose your head! ”

After hearing this, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly begged Empress Dowager Sun and Chen Tianzhao to spare their lives.

Chen Tianzhao had a solemn face, and said to the palace maids and eunuchs: "Lone has long been admonished, you must be cautious in your words and deeds!" But you don't listen! Rumor message! It's more than innocent!"

"Queen Mother! Kill if you want! Lonely people who don't have long tongues! ”

Empress Dowager Sun looked at Chen Tianzhao, and then at the palace maids and eunuchs who kept begging her for mercy, and thought to herself: "It's not appropriate to kill at this time!" If you kill too many people! Instead of Liwei! It's counterproductive! Now is the time to buy hearts and minds! Love your family, why not be favored by them! ”

Empress Dowager Sun thought about it, and a smile appeared on her face, like an iceberg rising a round of warm sun.

She stepped down from the throne and said to the palace maids and eunuchs, "In the future, you must listen to the king, and be careful about what he says and does!" Don't spread any more rumors! ”

"This time, the mourning family will spare you, if there is a next time, I will not spare you!"

After hearing this, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed.

Chen Tianzhao saw that Empress Dowager Sun wanted to buy people's hearts, but it was not good to expose her in person, so he stood aside and echoed it.

Besides, Song Junsheng's side, after rescuing the Du Mansion, he was afraid that something would happen, and immediately asked He Feiyun to lead his family, under the escort of a team of Huoyun riders, to the Du family's courtyard outside the city.

Song Junsheng, under the escort of the Huoyun Cavalry, came to Fengchi, the highest institution of the New Song Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Shunzhi was receiving congratulations in the phoenix pond, and after seeing Song Junsheng walk in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said, "King Song! Obey the king's order to serve as the secretary of the Zhongshu Order! ”

Song Junsheng looked up and saw that the Fengchi, which was the only one in the past, had been hung up with three plaques in an instant.

These plaques are written in turn as Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and Menxia Province.

Song Junsheng looked at it, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that the king has restored the three-province system!" Not bad! In the future, everyone will support each other and make a small profit for the court! The king's reuse has been repaid! ”

Zhang Huaitian, a provincial servant under the door, said to Song Junsheng with a smile: "In the past, the first king cut the power of the three provinces!" Make a phoenix pond! Select talents to lead all government affairs, called Shaocheng! Now King Song is still shouldering a heavy burden! The lower officials and others really can't bear it! The king restored the system of the three provinces, but he was also afraid that the king of Song would be tired! ”

Song Junsheng listened, and said with a smile on his face: "What Zhang Shizhong said is extremely true! Now you and Lord Wang are handling government affairs together with this king! This king is happy! ”

Wang Shunzhi said respectfully to Song Junsheng: "King Song! Kind-hearted! How can the lower officials not drive! It's just that Wang really doesn't understand that the provinces of Chinese books in the past dynasties are all around the court! Why is the Chinese book in charge of the contemptible people important to the king of Song? ”

After hearing this, Zhang Huaitian, the provincial servant, also wondered: "Yes! Zhongshu Province should be near the palace! It is indeed a bit inappropriate to set up a Zhongshu province in Fengchi!"

"What Zhang Shi said is not right! The king's meaning is to let us surround King Song's side, and we are just doing our duty! ”

Zhang Huaitian, a provincial servant under the door, heard that Wang Shunzhi's words were wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What Lord Wang said is wrong! The so-called each yamen has its own yamen's affairs! Well water does not interfere with river water! ”

"But the systems of the three provinces are mutually reinforcing! How can they all be commanded by one man? What is the purpose of setting up a three-province system? ”

Song Junsheng watched the two fight, and suddenly applauded and said, "Don't forget!" This king is not just a Shang Shuling! is still the prime minister and captain of the new Song Dynasty! All the military and political affairs in the world are under the control of this king! ”

"Three-province system! can cut the right of Shang Shuling, the right of King Song! But he can't help the rights of the prime minister and the captain! ”

After hearing this, Wang Shunzhi bowed and said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true! The prime minister is the first of the hundred officials, and the ministers only have to obey orders! ”

Zhang Huaitian, the provincial servant under the door, smiled awkwardly, and then said with a somewhat obscene face: "The head of the subordinate is not good!" The prime minister is not strange! The three provinces really can't help a powerful prime minister like you! ”

Song Junsheng listened, laughed and said, "Look at the two of you!" This king is joking with you! What is a big prime minister and a big prime minister, isn't it all for the king's worries? ”

"As long as the king gives an order, won't the three provinces still seize the power of the prime minister?"

Wang Shunzhi stood aside, looked at Zhang Huaitian with a puzzled face, and suddenly laughed.

Song Junsheng walked in front of Zhang Huaitian, the provincial servant under the door, and said with a smile: "Don't blame Lord Zhang! This king hopes to get the support of Lord Zhang in the future! Let's work together for the king's world!"

"What King Song said is extremely true! Xiaguan just talked about the system of the three provinces, which is indeed a bit reckless, and I ask King Song not to be like Xiaguan! ”

Song Junsheng listened, his eyes were sharp, but he replied with a smile on his face: "How can it!" I feel that the two of you just made a big argument really opened my eyes and broadened my horizons! ”

"Don't say much! I'll be honest with you! Since the king was awarded an important position by the king, it has been sleepless nights! I am afraid that I will not be able to govern wholeheartedly, so as to live up to the great kindness of the king's righteous brother! ”

Zhang Huaitian, the provincial servant under the door, rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said flatteringly: "King Song is dedicated to the king, and he is really a model for me as an official!" The lower officials will be like the king of Song, sharing the worries of the king!"

At this time, a group of eunuchs came in from the gate of Fengchi and proclaimed: "The lonely boy has succeeded to the throne and has experienced many things in the world!" Read history

Book, to explore the importance of the system of the three provinces, then decided to sue the temple, abolish the first king set up a phoenix pond in the world, called the system of the world to one, and re-change to the system of three provinces, the previous Shaocheng was abolished, and the power of the prime minister was restored, and the original young minister Song Junsheng served as the prime minister, and from then on, the prime minister was in charge of the three provinces, up to Tiancong, and under the command of hundreds of officials! Isn't it easy to rule the world? Before Song Junsheng, all the titles except for Shaocheng were the same, so as to inform the hundred officials! ”

After Song Junsheng led the Fengchi officials to receive the edict and thank him, he couldn't help but think: "What does Chen Tianzhao mean?" Didn't I set up three provinces to divide my rights? Why did he resume the power of the prime minister? Put me in charge of the three provinces? ”

Zhang Huaitian, the provincial servant under the door, listened to it, and some didn't believe his ears, so he hurriedly came to the holy decree to read it again.

Zhang Huaitian looked at Song Junsheng with strange eyes, then walked up to him and said respectfully: "Congratulations to King Song!" Take charge of all government affairs in the world! ”

Although Wang Shunzhi also congratulated Song Jun on his ascension, he always felt that something was wrong.

Song Junsheng remembered the note sent by Li Xiangyun, combined with the holy decree in front of him, which seemed to be completely in line with Chen Tianzhao's conspiracy to harm himself.

Song Junsheng thought about it, hurriedly snatched the holy decree, and said to the eunuchs in the palace: "Please ask my father-in-law to take me into the palace!" This king has something important to say to the king! ”

Zhang Huaitian, a provincial servant under the door, looked at Song Junsheng's actions and was puzzled for a while.

Wang Shunzhi saw Song Junsheng's intentions and acquiesced to his decision in his heart.

Song Junsheng then followed the eunuch to the Longde Palace, and after he respectfully saluted Chen Tianzhao, he stepped forward and said: "The minister is here this time!" I'm here to ask the king to abolish my position as prime minister! ”

After Chen Tianzhao heard this, his face was full of weirdness, but he stepped forward and helped him up with a smile and said, "Second brother! Don't you want to keep this country for your big brother? ”

After hearing this, Song Junsheng hurriedly made a timid look, and said with a cower: "How dare the minister not drive for the eldest brother!"

"It's just that the eldest brother is too favored by his ministers! It has caused the ministers to stay awake at night! I am afraid that I have done something wrong and hurt the wisdom of the king! ”

"It's just a gentleman! How dare you speak up to help the king rule the world? But bathe in the king's grace! The fox is just a fake tiger! ”

"The king is gifted and intelligent! 10,000 ministers are invincible! Since the king has re-established the system of the three provinces! Then the position of the prime minister should be false! How can it be set as real power! Besides, Your Majesty is heroic and unparalleled! He should personally govern the three provinces. ”

"Although the minister can relieve the king's worries! But how can good fortune be compared to the king! Your Majesty conferred the post of prime minister on the minister, but did you really want to harm the minister? If the minister accepts this position! will be scolded by hundreds of officials! Scold the heart of the traitor! Until then! Everyone in the world wants to kill their ministers and do it quickly! ”

After listening to Song Junsheng's words, Chen Tianzhao thought to himself: "Song Junsheng is not accepted as the prime minister for this matter? Before, it was a false name, but I suffered it! Give him real power now! I'm too scared to ask for it! ”

Song Junsheng looked at Chen Tianzhao in a daze, and seemed to confirm the statement that he was going to kill him.

Chen Tianzhao was afraid that Song Junsheng would see through his plan, so he had to abolish the prime minister

but handed over another important ministry to him, that is, the Ministry of Prison, which had been abandoned for ten years.

After Song Junsheng heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and he was surprised that this matter was probably another conspiracy, and he was happy that the prison province was the minions of the new Song king, who were responsible for supervising all the yamen and hundred officials of the new Song Dynasty, and were only ordered by the new Song king, and even the royal family was under its supervision at the peak, and no institution in the imperial court could interfere with the actions of the province.

"Why did Chen Tianzhao restore the prison province? And why let him manage it? ”

Song Junsheng was puzzled, stepped forward and said again: "Your Majesty! The province is the important government of the country, and the ministers really can't control it! Please also ask the king to take back his fate! ”

Chen Tianzhao listened to it and said with a smile: "Second brother can't refute it again!" After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that only the second brother could be up to the task! Second brother, you also know that the government has been controlled by the queen mother's henchmen for a long time, and when the princess is alive, he can still win a few times! Now that the Taishi is gone, the power must not fall into the hands of his henchmen! So please take care of the second brother! ”

After Chen Tianzhao finished speaking, he turned around and his face immediately became cold, and said, "Someone! Send King Song out of the palace! ”
