After the arrest of Zhao Lingji and Yang Daoxuan, Lin Yi's first attack was the inside of the palace, and several big eunuchs who served on weekdays around Song Huizong were all arrested, and a new batch of newcomers were replaced, and there were seventy or eighty small eunuchs involved.

In fact, the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty were far less numerous than those of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of eunuchs at the peak of the Ming Dynasty was often seventy or eighty thousand, while the number of eunuchs in the Song Dynasty was only two or three thousand at most.

The eunuch institution of the Song Dynasty was called the Inner Servant Province, which was responsible for the daily life of the emperor and concubines, the management of the inner treasury, the imperial treasury, and the operation of the inner court.

Abroad, he was responsible for leading the army in battle, monitoring the army, spying on subjects, supervising the transportation of supplies, and participating in royal financial activities.

Tong Guan was a small yellow gate by Song Huizong's side at the beginning, and later became a privy envoy step by step, the privy envoy is the highest leader of the military, and can be said to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, responsible for the transfer and use of troops, and also responsible for the supervision of the army.

Suspicion of military generals was a basic national policy of the Song Dynasty, which was known from top to bottom, from Wenchen to the emperor was basically single, so there was a supervising army in every army.

Lin Yi didn't make a big move this time, but just dealt with those who were serving around the emperor, and the reason was naturally to accept bribes from Taoist priests and participate in the murder of the emperor.

Are they wronged?

It's quite wronged.

The net worth and lives of these people are pinned on Song Huizong, how can they murder him, but if they are not wronged, the dirty things that these people do on weekdays are not unjustly sentenced to death.

This time, these people were all implicated, and some were relegated to remote places for business, and some were directly imprisoned and awaited processing.

If you want to deal with these eunuchs, it is difficult to say that it is simple and simple, those big eunuchs are extremely high in the eyes of others, but their identity is the royal domestic slaves, and the emperor can deal with it with any order.

If the emperor wants to deal with the minister, he always has to find a reasonable reason, and he doesn't need any reason to deal with the eunuch at all.

In order to prevent the fake Song Huizong from being exposed, Lin Yi dealt with the people who were serving the original emperor as quickly as possible, these people were most familiar with Song Huizong, and even more familiar with everything about Song Huizong than the queen and concubines.

Those concubines are favored, and it is not bad to see Song Huizong three or five times a year, but these eunuchs are waiting by their side every day.

Just when people were trembling, thinking that Lin Yi would expand the processing and set off a bloody storm in the court, Lin Yi stopped.

For cleaning the court,

Lin Yi is not in a hurry.

There is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh", and now the Great Song Dynasty is far from the point where it is necessary to use thunderbolts to overturn and start over.

He can take it step by step, steadily, and handle things more smoothly without letting them appear uncontrollable.

Historically,

What really plunged the Great Song into a crisis was that after the Lianjin destroyed the Liao "Maritime Alliance", there was no Liao State to hinder the Jin State to attack the Great Song Dynasty with a backhand, and now there is no shadow of the Maritime Alliance, and it will be proposed after 3 years, and it will be reached after 5 years.

Lin Yi thought about it,

Whoever proposes it will be killed.

What a good barrier the Liao State has, after getting along for more than a hundred years, the two sides know the roots, and they can completely let the Liao State and the Jin State stumble to the end, and at the same time weaken the strength of the two countries, and reap the power of the fisherman themselves.

As for the rebellions in the country.

Shandong Songjiang, Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing.

In fact, most of them are ***.

Song Jiang was reversed because at that time, in order to collect money, the imperial court ordered to collect water for official use, and the surrounding people were not allowed to fish, so they couldn't survive.

Fang La was forced to rebel because of Huashigang.

Hebei Tianhu rebelled mainly because Hebei was affected by disasters, the court and the government were corrupt, oppressed the good, killed the good and risked merit, and so on, forcing the court to rebel.

As for Wang Qing, he is a disobedient son, and it is good to go back and kill him in advance.

To these people,

Lin Yi already had a plan in his heart, Shuibo Liangshan is now under his control, as for the others, it should be governed to avoid turmoil, if it can't change history and reappear, it is necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible

Won't let them make it big.

Actually, the current situation.

It's already a golden start.

As for the internal problems of the Great Song Dynasty, the defeat of the dynasty, the abolition of military equipment, the love of civil officials for money, the military generals are afraid of death, the soldiers have no combat power, and they eat empty salaries, Lin Yi has a lot of time to recuperate.

Three days passed.

Cai Jing finished introspecting.

After three days of not eating or drinking, the whole person looked extremely haggard, in fact, no one asked him not to eat or drink, and the self-reflection was just self-reflection in the study, not eating or drinking was a bitter meat play played by Cai Jing himself.

Lin Yi also knows this.

Cai Jing walked out of the study, Cai You, Cai Bian, Cai Yi and the rest of the Cai family were waiting outside the door, and it was very heartbroken to see Cai Jing's appearance, after all, he was already an old man of almost seventy.

"Big brother, how are you~!"

"Dad, let's drink some porridge first, right?"

Cai Jing waved his hand, "Send me to the palace, thank the emperor, and ask to see Your Majesty."

Immediately a palanquin driver came.

Others want to follow.

Cai Jing waved his hand and said sternly: "You all have passed, do you seem to be overwhelmed, do you apologize or force the palace?"

The crowd hastened to their feet.

Cai Jing came to the Xuande Gate in a sedan chair, was helped out of the sedan chair, bowed to the palace gate and said, "Minister, Cai Jing, come to apologize to Your Majesty."

After saying that, he bowed there motionless.

Many people around saw this scene and began to discuss, and the news soon spread throughout Bianjing.

Cai Jing Xuande's apology outside the door naturally soon spread to the palace.

The doppelganger actually woke up early, and after eating the antidote soup on the first day, Lin Yi woke up the doppelganger, he couldn't always be dizzy, and many things still had this doppelganger nod, such as dealing with the big eunuch in the palace, which was Song Huizong's personal will, and others would not suspect that Lin Yi was good at making claims, but now the doppelganger was still lying on the bed, looking a little weak.

Lin Yi heard that Cai Jing was coming, and knew that another big scene was about to start.

Song Huizong said to Lin Yi, "Lin Qing, you go and call Cai Xiang in."

"Yes, official."

......

The gate of Xuandemen Palace opened, Lin Yi walked out, Cai Jing looked up and saw this young and handsome young man, and sighed in his heart, a generation of new people replaced the old, originally he had a lot of ideas about this Lin Zhuangyuan, but things changed too quickly, and before he could do anything, this young man had grown up rapidly.

There is nothing higher than saving the driver, and there is no more medicine than starvation.

This Lin Yi was the first to go into the water to save His Majesty when His Majesty was poisoned and jumped into the lake, and it was he who took the responsibility to order the arrest of Zhao Lingji and let the imperial doctor who did not dare to do it be drugged, which saved the emperor's life in time.

Such a merit,

It is impossible to overstate how much grace you give.

"I've seen Cai Xiangguo." Lin Yi greeted with a smile on his face.

"I've seen the Grove people."

"Your Majesty invites Cai Xiangguo in."

"Sherinsh notice."

Cai Jing followed behind Lin Yi with some vain steps, and the two came to the inner hall, Cai Jing saw Song Huizong, who was still a little pale lying on the bed, and knelt down.

In the past, when ministers saw Song Huizong, they rarely bowed down, not to mention the prime minister, but today Cai Jing paid a big salute and said with sadness: "Your Majesty, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay."

Song Huizong looked at Cai Jing and waved his hand, "Cai Xiang, get up."

Cai Jing wanted to get up, but his body was too weak to get up for a while, Lin Yi went over to help, and Cai Jing got up with his strength.

"The Sherinscha helps."

Song Huizong looked at Cai Jing and said, "I heard that you locked yourself in the study for three days without eating or drinking, I let you introspect, and I haven't asked you to cut yourself."

Cai Jing bowed.

"The minister has been praying for His Majesty for the past three days, and he dare not slack off in the slightest."

Song Huizong nodded,

"You also have a heart, and you can't be blamed entirely for this matter."

Speaking of which,

Song Huizong's tone became stern, "That Zhao Lingji deceived me, and even gave me the pill that he had refined indiscriminately, and almost poisoned me to death, Lin Qing asked him for a confession, and Zhao Lingji had already confessed everything, it turned out that he had been deceiving me from the beginning, he would not refine the Immortal Pill at all, he was a complete liar."

After speaking, he looked at Cai Jing, "I punished Cai You like this, do you think there is a problem?"

Cai Jing hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty has handled it correctly, you are indeed to blame in this matter, and it is already Your Majesty's grace to remove him from his official position."

Song Huizong nodded.

He looked at Cai Jingdao again: "Through this thorough investigation of Zhao Lingji, Yang Daoxuan, and Li Shanlei, Lin Qing also found a lot of things, these three people actually accepted bribes, formed a party for personal gain, and colluded with officials, Cai Xiang, what do you say should be done?"

Cai Jing's body shook slightly.

"Your Majesty, if anyone accepts bribes or forms a party for personal gain, he must not be spared, and he should be punished according to the law of the land." Cai Jing hurriedly expressed his attitude.

Song Huizong stared at Cai Jing, his eyes became sharp, and he said in a stern tone: "Cai Xiang, I ask you, you are sincere to me, can you have the ulterior intention to help me govern the country, can you accept bribes, sell official positions, and form a party for personal gain?"

Cai Jing looked at Song Huizong, and suddenly felt a little scared, thinking in his heart that His Majesty had experienced life and death this time, as if he had a feeling that his temperament had changed drastically.

Plop down on your knees again.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to His Majesty, and he will never dare to do anything that exceeds the law of the country, and the sun and the moon can be seen from the world."

Lin Yi was amused in his heart.

This Cai Jing really dared to lick his face and say that the sun and the moon are clear.

Tell your mother!

As for the money and treasures he stole from his treasury, he is definitely not a clean official.

"Well, you swear now that you will always be loyal to me, and you will never do anything that harms my interests." Song Huizong said in a stern tone.

Cai Jing's heart trembled,

But he didn't dare to refuse, and if he refused, he would show that he was going to do something harmful to the emperor, and he didn't dare to admit this kind of thing.

Cai Jing was already kneeling, stretching out three fingers,

Refers to the heavenly oath.

"Minister Cai Jing, hereby swear to the heavens, always follow and be loyal to Your Majesty, never do anything harmful to Your Majesty's interests, do your best to do things for Your Majesty, the gods of heaven and earth testify, if Cai Jing violates today's oath, he is willing to be punished by everything, and the sky will thunder."

Cai Jing's vow has just ended.

A system prompt sounded in Lin Yi's mind.

This worship is complete.

Lin Yi looked at Cai Jing with a smile on his face.

Although there is a doppelganger doll stand-in lying on the bed, there is a wisp of Lin Yi's soul in it, so swearing to Song Huizong has the same effect as swearing to him.

Yesterday, Lin Yi also deliberately did an experiment.

Let all the eunuchs who were newly transferred kneel and swear together, all of them have an effect, so I started calling Cai Jing over today.

He didn't plan to deal with Cai Jing for the time being.

Cai Jing is a big tree, it has been deeply rooted and flourishing, he has been the prime minister for so many years, and there are too many of his henchmen in the court, of course, this is not what Lin Yi is most worried about, the current Song Huizong completely controls the military power, so it is not difficult to get Cai Jing.

He left Cai Jing for another purpose.

If you want to leave the country in a mess, Lin Yi doesn't agree, he wants Cai Jing to help him clean up this mess, and he wants to make him a bad guy, he wants to use him, squeeze his surplus value dry, and find a reason to deal with him in the future.

for the above.

The most important thing is to know how to use people.

There are no worthless people, and Cai Jing is very valuable, Lin Yi must make the best use of it and play his role.

Including others too.

After Cai Jing swore an oath, Song Huizong nodded, "Get up, you are also so old, don't kowtow at every turn."

Cai Jingxin said,

I didn't kneel in that situation just now, do you think it's appropriate?

Cai Jing got up for the second time.

It was still Lin Yi who helped him up.

Song Huizong

glanced at Lin Yi and said to Cai Jing: "This time, I have to continue to investigate, I have ordered Lin Yi to be the minister of the Qincha, and he is fully responsible for this matter, as the prime minister of the capital, you must cooperate well."

"Your Majesty." Cai Jing hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, in the recent past, my body still needs to be cultivated, you are responsible for handling the affairs of the court, don't slack off, and send me important things to see." Song Huizong instructed Cai Jing.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, these old ministers will take care of it."

In the past, Song Huizong didn't manage much government, and Cai Jing was all in charge.

Song Huizong showed fatigue and waved his hand to let Cai Jing leave, Cai Jing bowed and said goodbye, walked out of the Xuande Gate and got into his sedan chair, in the sedan chair, Cai Jing thought of the oath, his old woman was cunning, and he wondered in his heart that the oath was to make a lake to get His Majesty.

If he doesn't take bribes, what does he rely on to make his fortune.

If he doesn't sell his official beard, what does he rely on to make money.

If he does not form a party for personal gain, what does he rely on to cultivate his own power?

He will continue to do these things in the future.

But as soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, Cai Jing grabbed his heart, and couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Ah, it hurts me to death!"

At the same time, a series of thoughts came to his mind, that he would be punished for breaking his oath, that he would be punished for breaking his oath, that he would be punished for breaking his oath......

They all say that I don't water, look, isn't this a lot of water, hahahaha.

These thoughts swirled in his mind like a spell, and Cai Jing's eyes widened in fright.

What's going on?

Had the oath really been fulfilled, but he had never heard of anyone whose oath could be fulfilled so quickly.

At this moment,

Cai Jing was really scared.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare, the old minister doesn't dare~~." Cai Jing clutched his chest and muttered pleading.

From the gate of the palace to Cai Jingxiang's mansion, this way Cai Jing felt that he had experienced the process from life to death and from death to life, and the thoughts in his mind made him dare not have any doubts, he knew that his heartache was the effect of the oath.

It really scared the hell out of him this time.

He knows

If you don't beg for mercy in time and change your mind quickly, you will really die in a sedan chair.

The sedan chair fell, and when the housekeeper came to lift the curtain, he found that Cai Jing was sweating profusely and his face was as pale as paper, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly called someone, and everyone carried Cai Jing off the sedan chair, moved to the house and lay down, and let the doctor see it, the doctor said that he was prostration, but Cai Jing knew what had happened to him.

After he drank a bowl of millet porridge, he called his younger brother Cai Bian's son Cai You and Cai Cheng all the others, and instructed: "Your Majesty wants to check the 'elixir', I am afraid that many people will be involved, this matter, the Cai family must fully support, there must be no hindrance, remember to remember."

If you want to say that Cai Jing has a rebellious heart and plots to kill Song Huizong, it must be not, at most he just wants to make more money and hold more power.

It's a big moth lying on Da Song's body to suck blood.

But this time,

It really scared Cai Jing.

......

After renovating Cai Jing.

Song Huizong issued an order the next day to summon Tong Guan and Gao to meet him.

The two hurried to the palace to wait for being summoned.

The political, military, and economic systems of the Great Song Dynasty, if expressed in the simplest way, can be divided into three parts, similar to the division of powers.

A piece of administration is in charge of the province under the Zhongshu Gate, and the highest leader is the prime minister, and below there are deputy prime ministers, ministers, local officials, etc.

For an economy, the main financial management institutions of the Song Dynasty were the three divisions of salt and iron, the household department, and the degree branch, and the three envoys were directly responsible to the emperor, and the prime minister had no right to manage them.

A piece of military affairs is divided into the Privy Council and the three ya, the privy council is responsible for the deployment of troops, and the three yamen are responsible for raising troops.

Tong Guan is the Privy Councillor Privy Envoy, the former secretary of the Sanya Branch, the Guards Pro-Army Ma Jun Division, the Guards Pro-Army Infantry Division, Gao Qiu is actually the commander of the front division of the palace, and the Tai Lieutenant is a false title.

The position of the palace marshal is the same level as the step marshal and the horse handsome, but Gao Qiu is completely suppressed as a confidant and favorite minister of Huizong

He is now in charge of all military and political affairs such as personnel, training, and equipment of the Sanya.

To put it simply, Gao Qiu is the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, and the commander-in-chief is naturally Song Huizong, who is also the commander of the Beijing garrison, indirectly managing the guards and horse troops and infantry troops, Tong Guan is in charge of the right to transfer troops and send troops, and Gao Qiu is in charge of the training, promotion, rewards and punishments, replenishment, logistics, etc. of all the forbidden troops in the Great Song Dynasty.

The two of them,

Tong Guan is from the first grade, Gao Qiu is the second grade, and it can be said that he is the highest military chief of the Great Song Dynasty.

And at this moment,

These two supreme military officials of the Great Song Dynasty have been kneeling outside the Song Huizong Hall for a full hour, and today the sun is very full, and the two of them are sweating, and the sweat droplets are dripping down the sideburns of their cheeks, but they dare not wipe it.

their rights,

All from the Emperor,

Tong Guan is a eunuch, a domestic slave, Gao Qiu is a favored minister, and he was promoted by Song Huizong.

If you don't have the emperor's favor,

They're not.

These days, I heard that His Majesty was almost poisoned by a Taoist priest, and both of them were so scared that they couldn't sleep at night, but they didn't dare to move without the emperor summoning them, and they were called into the palace today, and the two of them were punished to kneel outside the palace.

The few big eunuchs who were originally serving by Song Huizong's side, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu also had good friends on weekdays, but they could be locked up.

The more I think about it, the more scared I get, the more I sweat, the more I think about it, the more timid I become.

That's when it happened.

Lin Yi walked out of the main hall,

Xuantong went to see him.

Song Huizong had already sat up, sitting on the bed in a yellow robe, Tong Guan came in and saw Song Huizong, and knelt down.

"The courtiers pay their respects to Your Majesty."

This Tong Guan was born very burly, and his appearance was heroic, especially the thick beard under his cheeks did not look like a eunuch, which had something to do with the fact that he was in his twenties before castration.

The evaluation of him in the history books is that he is charming and flattering, in fact, to be fair, in the final analysis, the problem lies with Song Huizong, Tong Guan is Song Huizong's servant and eunuch, and he naturally wants to welcome him what the emperor likes.

During the twenty years that he was a privy envoy in charge of the military, he still made a lot of achievements, countless large and small military achievements, and he was also the only eunuch in history who was crowned king, and it can only be said that in the end, Song Huizong failed, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame.

And his biggest mistake in the history books was the "Sea Alliance", uniting the Jin army to defeat the Liao State, and then letting the Jin State become bigger and destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

can only say that he made a strategic mistake, and it can't be said that he has much of a problem as a person, and his loyalty and ability to Song Huizong are no problem.

is similar to Cai Jing, a quite capable courtier.

Song Huizong looked at Tong Guan and snorted coldly, facing Tong Guan's slack of armament and slackening of armaments, Tong Guan knelt on the ground and listened to cold sweat.

Song Huizong's last sentence made Tong Guan pee his pants in fright, "I heard that you colluded with Cai Jing and became friends, and you were called a princess and a concubine outside, why, I don't think the power is big enough, Tong Guan, what do you want?"

Tong Guan was so frightened that he trembled like chaff.

What does Song Huizong mean by this?

You are all made by the Privy Council, the first person in the Great Song Dynasty military, you are not satisfied, the only thing left is to be the emperor, do you want to rebel?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no such thing, there is no such thing, Tong Guan is loyal to His Majesty and has no second heart..."

As he spoke, he couldn't stop kowtowing, and his head slammed on the ground.

Good for a while.

Song Huizong spoke.

"When I asked you to manage the army, I wanted you to be a pure minister, to help me take care of the army, help me fight wars, and help me maintain the country, not for you to form gangs, form factions, form parties for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and sell official positions."

That's too much.

Tong Guan was called an iron man, but he was already so frightened that his face turned pale.

He himself knows,

Many of the things the emperor said, he had really done.

Now that it has been pointed out by Song Huizong, it is only non-stop

Kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy.

At this moment there is a pool of blood on the ground,

Tong Guan knocked blood out of his forehead.

Blood flowed down his face, making him embarrassed.

"Alright, don't knock down, you're dead, and I'll have to find a new Privy Councillor."

Tong Guan's body stiffened, and he heard the meaning of the emperor's words, this is still preparing to make himself a privy councilor.

Those words just now were just beating themselves.

Song Huizong beckoned to Tong Guan, Tong Guan understood, knelt and walked a few steps forward to Song Huizong's bed, looking up at Song Huizong.

Song Huizong looked at Tong Guan condescendingly, and said in a serious tone: "I will tell you again today, I asked you to be this privy councillor, I asked you to be a pure minister, and everything you have is given by me, not Cai Jing, not anyone else."

"Your Majesty, slave understands."

"Swear, huh?" Song Huizong said.

Tong Guan was stunned, but immediately reacted and raised his hand to swear, Tong Guan must do his best for His Majesty, and he will only have two hearts for His Majesty.

Lin Yi received a system prompt again.

"Okay, Tong Guan, go out, go back and think about it yourself, Lin Yi, call Gao Qiu in." Song Huizong said.

Lin Yi went out to call Gao Qiu.

At the door,

Gao Qiu met Tong Guan.

Tong Guan's forehead was smashed, and blood flowed all over his face, startling Gao Qiu, he just wanted to ask, but he held back again.

I think I know that I must have angered Your Majesty.

Gao Qiu's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Walk into the main hall.

Gao Qiu saw Song Huizong sitting cross-legged on the bed, and saw the blood on the ground, so he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister asks for an audience."

Song Huizong's face was full of gloom, and he scolded Gao Qiu: "The army personnel are sloppy, the training is wasted, the military discipline is lax, the armament is lax, and the empty salary is serious, saying that it is 800,000 forbidden troops, I'm afraid there is not even half of it?!"

"Such a forbidden army, in the face of domestic bandits, in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies in Liaojin, can you win the battle, Gao Qiu, this is how you help me manage the army, the army is like this, you can't escape the blame!"

Gao Qiu trembled with fright.

PS：

More than 6,000 words, no less than two chapters.

Brothers, you don't need to vote for me anymore, it's useless for my current situation.

It's better to tip, hahaha.
