Chen Xun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is not Emperor Yang of Sui.

"The greatest enemy of centralizing power and ultimately strengthening imperial power is the family gatekeepers.

"Your Majesty's most taboo is undoubtedly the family to counterattack the imperial power and subvert the emperor's rule over the world. With the bloody experience of Emperor Yang of Sui, His Majesty will of course have a complete and far-reaching layout and plan when dealing with the family.

"In a word, the reason why Your Majesty dares to use the charge of rebellion to coerce the Chen family is only because now is the time when Your Majesty should and can make a big move to the family!"

Chen Anzhi's expression froze.

Chen Xun's next words made him fall into the abyss.

Chen Xun and Chen Anzhi sorted out the emperor's plan to take over power from the beginning.

The core of the emperor's plan is to divide the family and let the family fall into a dead end of fighting each other, and at the same time strengthen the strength of the Hanmen and make his strength increase rapidly.

First of all, the emperor made Xu Minglang, a teacher who had a teacher-student friendship with him and trusted him very much, become the prime minister of the imperial court.

Every emperor who has made a difference, after ascending the throne, must have a policy program, the prime minister wants to leave a name in history, but also has his own ideas and achievements, and when Song Zhi became the emperor Xu Minglang became the prime minister, Daqi has been peaceful for a hundred years, is at the peak of the prosperous era, there is no strong enemy outside, no worries inside.

In this case, if Song Zhi and Xu Minglang want to make a difference, they have to find another way. So Song Zhi and Xu Minglang formulated a national policy of collecting the military power of the generals and controlling the military generals by civilian officials.

There are eighteen generals in Daqi, and there are only thirteen in the scholars, and the difference between civil and military strength can be seen at a glance.

This situation was formed at the beginning of the dynasty, when Taizu swept the world, of course, he relied more on the gate, so the gate was powerful, but in the peaceful and prosperous era, this relationship had to be changed. The object holding the soldiers and horses in his hand must be the first object that the emperor fears, both ancient and modern.

Xu Minglang made a deal with the emperor and was ambitious to show his ambitions.

As a result, the emperor single-handedly provoked the dispute between the civil and military families.

With his secret support, Xu Minglang soon made great progress, and the Jiangmen family was suppressed a lot, with the dismissal of many Jiangmen officials, the military ** is now a civilian official supervising the army, and the soldiers are in the hands of civilian officials, and the Wu and Yang clans were demoted, and the power of the Jiangmen family was greatly weakened.

In this process, the Xu family became the first family, Xu Minglang himself became the first powerful minister of the dynasty, and his prestige was unmatched for a while, and Song Zhi also gave Xu Minglang enough benefits. In exchange, Xu Minglang acquiesced to Song Zhi's expansion of the scale of the imperial examination, and supervised the army and the military department.

In order to help Xu Minglang succeed and successfully collect military power, Song Zhi also divided the generals.

He took advantage of the fact that the Sun family had more handsome men in these generations, and the clan ** appeared in the realm of two kings, his ambitions were inflated, and he coveted the position of the governor of the capital, and supported the Sun family to set up another mountain inside the Jiangmen, and the Zhao family fought against the Zhao family, destroying the unity of the Jiangmen, so that Zhao Xuanji could not concentrate the strength of the Jiangmen to compete with Xu Minglang.

But after all, the Zhao family is the first family and has a deep prestige in the army, if the Zhao family is dissatisfied with Song Zhi's actions, it will be difficult for Song Zhi to distinguish them.

In order to prevent the Zhao family from hating the imperial family, Song Zhi has been trying his best to appease the Zhao family over the years, rewarding Zhao Ning with an eagle bow on the autumn hunting ground, giving him a high **, and then giving him the Golden Silkworm Pill, adding 30,000 troops to Yanmen Pass.

In the second step, when the Zhao family and other generals were dissatisfied with the suppression of the civil officials of the sect and accumulated to a certain extent, it would cause internal political instability and it was possible to unite to make a rebellion, the emperor temporarily abandoned the sect and secretly supported the Zhao clan and other generals to fight back against the scholars, and guided them to vent their anger on the men.

As a result, the Liu family and the Pang family overturned one after another, the Zheng family and the Lu family declined greatly, and the power of the family was dealt a heavy blow.

At first, when suppressing the generals, the emperor did not move the Zhao family, and he also suppressed the other generals, but when it came to dealing with the door, as the time was ripe, the emperor's power to collect the family increased, which led to the entire collapse of the door.

When the gate suffered heavy losses and the gate was on the verge of raising its head, the emperor began to stand on Xu Minglang's side again.

This time, the emperor no longer excluded the Zhao clan from the scope of suppression, and his previous layout also played a role, and An Siming successfully entered Yanmen Pass with 60,000 soldiers.

And Zhao Yujie's entry into the harem will become the emperor's knife against the queen, which is an unexpected joy.

In this process, the emperor saw the seams and took advantage of the situation, so that the power of the poor officials successfully grew.

At this point, the struggle between the scholars and the generals has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, and it is almost impossible for the Great Qi Wenwu family to come together to unite against the imperial power!

In addition, the internal division of the Jiangmen has greatly reduced its strength, and the Hanmen forces in Song Zhi's hands are enough to compete with the Men and the Jans, so Song Zhi began to implement the third step.

The third step is to set up a magistrate's house.

Let Tang Xing, Zhou Junchen and others snare and create various charges against officials, make a big move against the officials of the family, depose the officials of the family one by one, and then replace them with officials from the poor family, further encroach on the power of the family and expand the power of the officials of the cold family!

At the same time, the old technique was repeated, supporting the second mountain inside the door, further dividing the power of the door, and triggering the infighting of the door. Because the imperial power was already very strong at this time, the emperor was able to make the supported men completely obey his orders and become vassals of the imperial power.

And the sect force that the emperor chose to support was the Chen family!

Song Zhi's road to strengthening imperial power has come to this point at present, and it is not yet known what means he will have in the future.

After listening to Chen Xun's analysis, Chen Anzhi was stunned and stunned for a long time.

Looking at his depressed appearance, his outlook on life must have collapsed.

This is not surprising.

The bright and majestic emperor is so faced, he can't do it if he wants him to be loyal to such a person. The power struggle of the dynasty is as dark and ugly as it is, and he can't even give birth to the idea of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country!

Chen Xun didn't disturb Chen Anzhi's daze, and drank a cup of tea by himself.

For a long time, Chen Anzhi, who had no face, said with difficulty: "Why...... Why Chen? Why did Your Majesty choose to let Chen do this role that is not human inside and out? Why did you put Chen on the fire and roast it?"

Chen Xun put down the tea bowl and looked sad: "There is naturally only one reason, the persimmon is soft and pinched."

"The Chen family is weak, so there is no choice, otherwise under the revenge of His Majesty and Xu Xiang, the Chen family will inevitably become the next family to be removed; ”

Chen Anzhi got up suddenly, kicked off the desk with a sad and angry kick, and yelled violently: "This is not fair! Chen's poetry and books are heirlooms, specializing in etiquette and law, and are full of loyal and righteous people, who have never committed adultery or violated laws and disciplines, how can the emperor treat Chen like this?

Chen Xun didn't stop Chen Anzhi from going crazy, but just looked at him with sad and sad eyes.

Touching the extension of Chen Xun, Chen Anzhi seemed to have been drained of his soul and suddenly stopped moving.

Just because the Chen family specializes in etiquette and has always had principles and positions, the Chen family is completely dependent on the imperial power, which is more impactful and can play a leading role for other families.

Chen Anyi sat down on the ground with tears pouring out!27KK

He knew that from now on, the Chen family would become the laughing stock of the family and the street rat that everyone shouted at. No matter what the emperor wanted Chen to do, whether it was Xu or Zhao, Chen could not refuse.

Chen Anzhi couldn't imagine that if one day, the emperor asked him to arrest Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian and enter the magistrate's court for torture, how would he face these two siblings.

But Chen had no choice.

He didn't have a choice either.

Chen Xun got up from behind the desk and walked slowly to the door, looking up at the gloomy sky with a vicissitudes of life, and remained silent for a long time.

At the end, he let out a long sigh, "The little cold has passed, and the big cold is coming." ”

The Great Cold, the coldest and hardest time of the year.

Many poor people who are poorly clothed and hungry will not survive this season and will die in this cold winter.

What about Chan?

......

The next day, at the court meeting, the head of the Chen family retracted his previous admonition against the emperor's promotion of Shuyi Wu Mei to the throne of Concubine Yipinli. In order to make his attitude convincing, the head of the Chen family proposed that from now on, the courtiers would no longer interfere in the affairs of the harem, and it would all be up to the emperor's word.

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly became angry, and the important ministers of the civil and military factions all accused the head of the Chen family of being shameless. In just a moment, the head of the Chen family was sprayed with spit all over his face.

The officials of the Hanmen family seconded the proposal one after another, agreeing with the opinion of the head of the Chen family, and for a while the court argued endlessly, and all kinds of voices were noisy.

In the end, the emperor did not agree to the proposal of the head of the Chen family on the affairs of the harem, the reason was that the royal family was selfless. In exchange, the courtiers could no longer stop Shuyi Wu Mei's decision to take the throne as Concubine Li.

After retiring from the dynasty, the Chen family seemed to have become a plague god, and everyone in the family avoided it. There are violent temperaments, and when they pass in front of the Chen officials, they spit viciously.

Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the overall situation of the imperial power and the family sharing the world, no matter how the family fought internally, the consistency of the position on restricting the unscrupulous expansion of the imperial power was declared broken with the Chen family's bottomless defection to the emperor.

This is the victory of the imperial power, the defeat of the family, and the general trend of the world created by the Song Dynasty inherited the legacy of several generations of the Song emperors!

......

Zhao Yujie learned that she was promoted to Concubine Li, and it was in the afternoon of the same day when she was waiting for Song Zhi to deal with government affairs in Chongwen Palace.

This made her overjoyed, and she hurriedly bowed down to thank her.

Over the past few days, her errand in Chongwen Hall has not been a simple sorting out, and occasionally being asked by Song Zhi for some opinions on a certain political matter, but she has her own small case next to Song Zhi, and she has begun to review some of the things that Song Zhi himself is not interested in dealing with and the matter is not big.

These are two completely different things, a huge change in identity!

Zhao Yujie is indeed incomparably smart, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, under the influence of Xu Minglang, she was exposed to government affairs and broadened her horizons, and learned what angle to think about national affairs.

Although Song Zhi will read Zhao Yujie's review again to review whether her handling is appropriate, this act itself already means that Song Zhi's extraordinary recognition of Zhao Yujie's ability and extreme trust in her as a person!

Let the concubines help review the chapters, even if they only involve trivial matters, this kind of thing does not appear in the Great Qi Dynasty for more than a hundred years, even if it is thousands of years old, it is unique!

No one knows what Song Zhi's intentions are in doing this.

Although the people who know about this matter are currently only a few of Song Zhi's henchmen and eunuchs.

But in the eyes of these people, this is Song Zhi's unstoppable favor for Zhao Yujie.

Did Song Zhi really favor Zhao Yujie?

It was hard to say before, but now, the answer is undoubtedly yes.

Because Zhao Yujie is pregnant, the doctor has diagnosed it!

This is also one of the reasons why Song Zhi asked his ministers to agree to his promotion of Zhao Yujie's rank in the court.

Zhao Yujie's appearance can be described as unique in the world, and she is also sensitive to people's hearts, and is good at greeting, in the past, Xu Minglang couldn't resist her charm, and she won it in a moment, and now under the long-term day and night relationship, how can Song Zhi not be emotional?

For Song Zhi, the world is his, he doesn't have to worry about what he wants to do and sleep with whomever he wants, whether he really likes it or just because of desire, he has no need to suppress himself.

In this way, Zhao Yujie once again completed the gorgeous transformation of her life.

"Get up, you don't have to be polite to me. ”

Song Zhi took Zhao Yujie's hand and pulled her up, hugged the other party in his arms, and let her sit on his lap, smiling at the corners of his mouth and playing with her green silk, and said meaningfully: "This world is ours, we naturally have to do something big, so that future generations will always remember our name."

"Wu Mei, are you ready?"

As long as it can make His Majesty a little happier, the concubine is willing to do anything. ”

......

Lizheng Palace.

Queen Zhao Qiyue, who was sitting behind the desk, couldn't help but droop her eyes after listening to her henchman's relays about today's court situation.

She hadn't seen the emperor in some time. When she went to Chongwen Palace, Jing Xinmo always told her that the emperor was reviewing the folds and ordered no one to disturb.

And now, the emperor did not hesitate to make such a disturbance in the court for the sake of a concubine! It can be seen from this that the cold reception she has suffered recently is directly related to this concubine named "Wu Mei."

Of course she has seen the other party, and many times, she is the queen after all, and she also knows that the other party is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't find anything abnormal. Now it seems that the emperor's favor for this man has reached an extraordinary level.

"Send someone to check, this palace wants to know all her details. From the time she came out of her mother's womb to the time she entered the palace, during this period, she had to turn it out to the palace! ”

"Yes!"
