A few days have passed since Wang Yanling and Empress Dowager Liu jointly coup and took control of the court.

Although he was busy and exhausted, because of the stimulation of power, his face was red every day, and his spirit was abnormal.

Most of the important officials of the Pan family have been demoted or investigated, and the military and political power is in their hands, which can be described as complacent, and now he is thinking about what reason to transfer Di Qing to the border town.

As long as there are no henchmen in charge of the army, Cao Bin will not be in any danger......

Inside the government hall.

Seeing that it was past noon, Wang Yanling was eating with his colleagues with dishes and chopsticks, and saw Bao Zheng with anger in his eyes, striding forward with a wat board in his hand:

"Prime Minister Wang, please enter the palace with the lower officials to advise the Empress Dowager and remove the post of commander of the former commander of Liu Meidian, Marquis of Gaole!"

Wang Yanling was stunned for a moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks unhappily and said:

"What happened to make Xiren so impatient?"

Seeing a few grains of rice on his beard, He Jianzhang next to him hurriedly stepped forward to carefully smooth his beard, and said with a sincere smile:

"Wang Xiangri has a lot of opportunities, and he has no leisure time for meals, which is really admirable......"

Seeing this, Bao Zheng couldn't help frowning, he understood why He Jianzhang had not been demoted out of Beijing for a long time.

The dignified ruler is so flattering, where is what Kou Zhun said will be the situation of "all the people are in the court"? This is clearly still a "villain's power".

Wang Yanling didn't care, just smiled and waved his hand to stop He Jianzhang, and then asked:

"Xiren, Gao Lehou is humble and upright, why do you want to impeach him?"

Bao Zheng's face was sinking like water at this time, and he raised the wat board and said:

"The number of knights is a national public weapon, especially the position of the commander of the front division of the palace, which is related to the stability of the Beijing division, how can it be handed over to a mediocre and incompetent person like Liu Mei?"

"Now that the soldiers are rampant in the market, the people are suffering, Liu Mei can't be restrained, and he dares to come to my Kaifeng Mansion to ask for people, his brazenness is rare in the world......"

Liu Mei is indeed not an arrogant and domineering person, and he is relatively low-key, but he was suddenly appointed by the Empress Dowager Liu as the commander of the front division of the palace, and he also has a task, that is, to buy the hearts of the army.

He has never led soldiers, and he does not have the ability to convince his subordinates, and he is reluctant to spend too much money, so he can only draw a big pie and cultivate feelings to win over his subordinates.

This practice did allow him to attract some military generals, but it also made those people lose their restraint, and they just thought that they could do whatever they wanted if they were brothers and sisters with Uncle Guo.

Liu Mei saw that the soldiers she had tried her best to win over were imprisoned by Bao Zheng, so naturally she couldn't show weakness and let them look down on her, so she ran to Kaifeng Mansion to get an important person, which made Bao Zheng furious.

Hearing this, Wang Yanling also understood Bao Zheng's mood, but this was the key condition he discussed with Empress Dowager Liu, the basis for cooperation.

Without the support of Empress Dowager Liu, it would be difficult for him, the prime minister, to sit firmly now, so he was silent for a while and persuaded:

"Xiren, hand over the law-violating soldiers to Gao Lehou, and leave the affairs of the army to the army, the old man believes that Gao Lehou will give you a satisfactory explanation."

He Jianzhang also nodded and agreed:

"Prime Minister Wang is right, the local affairs of the prefecture and county can be the master, so don't meddle in military affairs, it's not good to anger the empress dowager."

Hearing them say this, Bao Zheng's temper also came up, and he flicked his sleeves and said:

"The law of the country is still there, why is Bao afraid? Since the two of them don't care about each other, I went into the palace by myself to ask to see the Empress Dowager. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the harem.

Seeing this, Wang Yanling only felt that his brain hurt, and he was quite helpless.

Although the political level of the partner of the Empress Dowager Liu is good, she has been away from the court for a long time and lacks henchmen, and there are not many relatives who have power, so she can't even pick out a decent talent, so she can only use Liu Mei, the "brother" general.

Knowing that Wang Yanling was in a bad mood, He Jianzhang hurriedly persuaded:

"The prime minister doesn't have to worry, Lord Bao doesn't understand the prime minister's painstaking efforts, it's just a fuss, and the prime minister is still in charge of the court."

He Jianzhang's support made Wang Yanling's mood improve a lot, and he was about to continue eating, when he saw an official of the Jinjuan Yuan hurriedly running into the political hall and reported:

"Prime Minister, Shaanxi Urgent News."

"Qingtang Tubo, Dong Yu, the son of Jiaoluo, killed the marriage envoy of Liao, and the Liao Emperor was furious and wanted to use the Western Xia to conquer Qingtang."

"Western Xia also seems to have the intention of sending troops to help, and Jiao Guluo sent people to the Great Song Dynasty for help......"

Hearing this news, Wang Yanling was no longer in the mood to eat, and said with some annoyance:

"Since it is a marriage, why did Dong Yu kill the envoy of the Liao State?"

Jiaowuluo occupies the Hehuang area east of Qinghai Lake, and is the iron-clad ally of the Great Song Dynasty to suppress the Western Xia.

It's no wonder that Wang Yanling was annoyed, save it, Da Song has just recovered a little bit of vitality, he really doesn't want to go to war, if he doesn't save it, he can't explain it to his allies.

The official smiled bitterly:

"The daughter of the clan that Liao wants to marry seems to have something to do with the Marquis of Zhongjing, and Prince Dong Yu thinks that this is the Liao State provoking his relationship with the Great Song Dynasty."

"In addition, the Liao envoy's words are inappropriate and arrogant, so there is such a thing."

Wang Yanling was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily:

"It's Cao Bin again, the bastard, the three envoys of the dignified hall are so ridiculous and indiscriminate, they will only cause trouble for the court."

"Tell the Tibetan envoys that the troubles caused by his prince will be dealt with by themselves."

Seeing that the official was about to retreat, he had to hold back his anger and said:

"Let the Tibetan envoy wait again, and wait for the old man to discuss with the empress dowager and the ministers, maybe fund them with some ordnance, money and food, so it makes sense."

It was also the sea trade in Jiangnan that gave the imperial court a little extra money, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to say this, after all, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court was almost so poor that it sold pants.

When the official of the concert hall heard this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, feeling that this prime minister seemed to be asking for food...... What does this do?

But that's not something he can handle.

On this day, the Empress Dowager Pan was sleeping in the palace, but she was awakened by a faint noise, and suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly asked the palace maid:

"Xiao Tao, what happened, did Marquis Zhongjing return to Beijing?"

In the past few days that she was imprisoned, in addition to being sad and sad, she didn't even dare to eat, for fear of being poisoned and assassinated, and she died in no apparent way.

She also has a secret decree in her hand, and a glimmer of hope to turn over with the help of Cao Bin's power.

In the past few days, she has thought a lot, regretted that her intestines were blue, and she didn't understand why she listened to her father's words and transferred Cao Bin out of the capital.

Although that person is ridiculous, he has always been on his side since the first emperor was seriously ill, but as long as he is there, who dares to make trouble easily?

At this moment, she desperately hoped that Cao Bin would return to Beijing sooner.

Hearing the question, the palace maid said with some excitement:

"It's Pang Niangniang who came to see you, but the eunuchs outside won't let you in."

Empress Dowager Pan was disappointed for a moment, and immediately cheered up again, leaning on the bed and saying:

"Quick, fast...... I must not let Pang Niangniang leave, just say that I have important things to say to her. ”
