In this preparation, there is also a problem, according to Zhao Zhen's edict, the mourning clothes are changed by the sun and the moon, and the mountain tomb system is thrifty.

But when it's really time to do things, who dares to really do things thriftily, especially in this situation now.

The successor emperor is young, he can't take charge, and he is not his own blood, and there is no justifiable queen mother in the palace, but it is presided over by Concubine Miao's concubine.

But the Miao clan has never been a queen after all, and they really don't have much say in this matter, so everything basically falls on the courtiers led by Ouyang Xiu.

Zhao Zhen has been in power for decades, and he has a good reputation in the hearts of the people of the world, whether it is from his own consideration or for the sake of Zhao Zonghan's reputation, Ouyang Xiu does not dare to act really thrifty, otherwise he is afraid that he will be scolded by others.

Therefore, the specific process can only be determined according to the old practice of Emperor Zhenzong, and then continue to increase on it.

Roughly calculated, the overall cost is almost equivalent to two years of taxes in the Great Song Dynasty, and the treasury is almost emptied.

Li Hao and the others naturally knew that this was not appropriate, but they could only do it head-on.

Although there are a lot of things to do, and the time is quite tight, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty is not like the Han and Tang dynasties, which will start to build mausoleums before the emperor's death.

However, it is stipulated that the emperor's burial must be completed within seven months, otherwise the soul cannot enter the temple smoothly.

Compared with such a large project as the construction of the mausoleum, the seven-month time is obviously extremely tight, so the mausoleum builders headed by Shen Tugang for the mountain mausoleum and Yuan Wenshao for the protection of the mountain mausoleum left Bianjing early to choose a suitable location.

In addition, most of the other procedures are routine, and they can be followed once the personnel are in place.

Anyway, this time Li Hao helped his group find a position, and he had to earn a wave of qualifications on it.

The rest of the people who need to work together is to establish a nickname for Zhao Zhen, and no one dares to stumble on this point, so it is smooth.

In the end, the six characters of Shenwen Shengwu Ming and filial piety were determined, Anren Lizheng said God, Emperor Deyun Guang said Wen, Wise Tianzong said Sheng, An Min and the people said Wu, Zhao Lin Quartet said Ming, and benevolence and love the people said filial piety, and with these six words helped Zhao Zhen make the final conclusion on the coffin.

Then, as soon as they had selected the site and submitted the plan, they began to build.

At this point, the busiest stage has passed, and everyone has begun to have time to turn their attention back to the government.

Although the large-scale purge of erring officials will not begin for the time being, after all, the main task so far is to maintain the stability of the DPRK.

But for a few important people, it is natural that it cannot be delayed, otherwise the rewards for meritorious people outside will not be carried out, and someone will have to make room for them.

You must know that only Ouyang Xiu and the British Duke have been promoted according to Zhao Zhen's edict, and the others have not moved.

Ouyang Xiu now has a large list of official titles, such as the loyalty and conspiracy of Tongde Zuoli Meritorious Hero, Special Jin, Ministry of Officials, Zhaowenguan University Scholar, and Tongpingzhang Military Affairs.

Among them, the meritorious heroes of loyalty and conspiracy are meritorious heroes, but they are only used to show the role of meritorious heroes; Tejin is the same as the official rank of the second rank of the official and the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, which is used to receive salaries and benefits, and only the Zhaowenguan University Scholar and the Tongpingzhang Military State are dispatched, that is, the real position.

At this point, Ouyang Xiu can be regarded as a legitimate prime minister, and before the next privy envoy has not served, he can be in charge of both the government hall and the privy council.

The official positions of the British Duke are to promote the loyalty and protection of the Jieyi Dai meritorious heroes, the loyalty of the military Jiedu, the observation and disposal of the Xuzhou Guan, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the inspection of the school captain, the envoy of the Xuzhou military, the Xuzhou Assassin History, the Shangzhu State, the British Gong, 8,700 households of Shiyi, and 3,000 households of Shishifeng.

In terms of official rank, the rank of the British Duke is higher than that of Ouyang Xiu, and he is a subordinate rank, but he has no actual authority in his official position.

Even if it is to supervise the camp in the western suburbs, it is also an edict, which is equivalent to the emperor's clear decree that you can take care of it, otherwise you will not have this responsibility.

However, this is understandable, after all, it is not suitable for the British Duke to take charge of the third time now

Ya, there are no other seats to arrange.

Anyway, these two are now firmly on their feet, and it will be much easier to deal with the corresponding officials.

Its Chinese ministers were handled by Ouyang Xiu, and the military generals and nobles were handled by the British duke.

But in terms of overall difficulty, Wenchen's handling is even more difficult, especially Han Qi's house.

This guy's relationship between the DPRK and China is intertwined, and this time he did not directly participate in Zhao Zongquan's palace change.

Although human evidence can be found to prove that Han Qi and Zhao Zongquan are connected, there is no substantial physical evidence to corroborate.

Han Qi, the old woman, is cunning, Li Hao and they are in Zhao Zongquan's princely position, and they rummaged back and forth, but they didn't find the correspondence between Han Qi and Zhao Zongquan.

In this case, it is not easy to convict Han Qi of treason.

Moreover, civil officials have always been accustomed to protecting each other, although many people want to see Han Qi unlucky, but if the punishment is too severe, I am afraid that they will have something to say.

After all, people always make mistakes, and they still hope that when they make mistakes, they will not be punished too severely, so they are naturally unwilling to break this unspoken rule.

So in this case, Ouyang Xiu came to Daxiangguo Temple to talk to Han Qi in person.

Speaking of which, Han Qi has been living here for more than a month since he started praying for Zhao Zhen.

Han Qi was naturally dissatisfied with this, and began to be furious with the soldiers sent by the British government, and made things difficult in every way.

It wasn't until the situation in Kaifeng Mansion became clear later that the task of guarding was handed over to Kaifeng Mansion, and Zeng Gongliang sent someone to come, and then Han Qi stopped.

After all, there is a difference between civil and military, and Han Qi is very sure that the British Duke will not do it to himself, but will carefully protect it, so as not to cause a confrontation between civil and military.

But when it came to Zeng Gongliang's hands, he would not have these concerns, and naturally Han Qi would stop a lot.

However, as time passed, Han Qi's heart became more and more steady, and the longer the time dragged on, the less evidence there was in the other party's hands.

Otherwise, for themselves, the other party will definitely deal with the mess quickly, instead of leaving so much time for themselves.

So in the face of Ouyang Xiu's arrival, Han Qi didn't feel much strange in his heart, and even said very calmly, "It's been a long time since we've had tea together, and when was the last time we drank tea."

Ouyang Xiu replied, "It's been quite a long time, it should be that since you joined Zhao Zongquan's sect, we haven't had tea together."

Han Qi smiled after hearing this, and retorted without falling into words: "What you said is not right, when did I vote for Zhao Zongquan, why don't I remember this.

If you want to say that the connection above in official affairs is to take refuge, then Zhao Zongquan or the two of us went to Yuzhou to pick it up, is it possible that you also took refuge in Zhao Zongquan."

Facing Han Qi's answer, Ouyang Xiu replied, "You and I both know the cause and effect of this matter, there is really no need to argue about anything, and I didn't come today to investigate this matter in detail."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Han Qi naturally understood this truth, but Han Qi couldn't let go of this fame and fortune in his heart after all.

In the end, Han Qi still wanted to work hard, even if he was demoted and exiled, as long as he could stay in the officialdom, then at least there was a possibility of returning to the center.

Moreover, Han Qi boasts that he has many friends outside the party, and thinks that as long as he insists, there will always be someone to help him speak.

So he said firmly, "Then let's take a look at what will happen after that."

Seeing that Han Qi was determined to struggle, Ouyang Xiu only left a sentence, so he left for himself, and left.

Originally, Ouyang Xiu wanted to give Han Qi a decent one after thinking about his friendship for so many years, but he didn't expect Han Qi to want it.

Since this is the case, then Ouyang Xiu can only do those things that should have been done a long time ago.

In fact, Ouyang Xiu could roughly understand the reason why Han Qi was so stubborn, it was nothing more than that he felt that he still had something to rely on.

After all, Han Qi has been in charge of the center for seven years and has a good reputation all over the world, so this protégé naturally has many henchmen.

Han Qi thought that these people could help him get through this difficulty, but Ouyang Xiu didn't think so.

If the imperial court plans to make a big deal this time, then maybe these people will huddle together to keep warm and work together to protect Han Qi.

Because at that time, keeping Han Qi was to keep themselves.

But it's a pity that this time, in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, Ouyang Xiu just wants to make an example of the monkey, just vacate part of the official position to people with merit, and control some key positions by the way.

The participation of civil officials in the palace change this time is not high, so there are not many official positions that really need to be transferred, so naturally there is no need to expand the scope.

Without touching his own interests, Ouyang Xiu didn't think that these people would come forward to help Han Qi speak, after all, in the officialdom, those guys with a tendon in their heads are a minority after all, and most of them will weigh the pros and cons.

Ouyang Xiu then asked the people of the Imperial Court to start impeaching one by one in the court, and gave those who should be ordered.

Then talk to them one by one, the ones who should be co-opted, the ones who should be appeased, as for those that need to be dealt with, Ouyang Xiu will not care.

After this operation, the officials above the court naturally understood what Ouyang Xiu meant.

Based on the recognition of Ouyang Xiu's integrity, the group of people who originally planned to huddle together for warmth were quickly disintegrated by Ouyang Xiu.

And there are also people who want to show their loyalty to Ouyang Xiu, but also to be able to close the matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble, and even take the initiative to provide evidence to Ouyang Xiu, so that Ouyang Xiu can close the matter as soon as possible.

In addition, in front of everyone, Ouyang Xiu also vaguely mentioned that he wanted to give Han Qi a decent end, but was rejected by Han Qi in person.

Now the other guilty officials have already been dealt with, but if there is no result from Han Qi, I am afraid that this matter may make waves again.

So I want them to persuade Han Qi together, so that Han Qi will not be so stubborn and accept his kindness.

Hearing Ouyang Xiu's words, everyone said that Ouyang Xiu was a righteous man and a gentleman, and they all promised to persuade Han Qi.

Ouyang Xiu didn't think that they would definitely be able to move Han Qi, anyway, it was the best to move, and everyone could save trouble.

And if he didn't move, he thought that these people would take the initiative to find a way to help Ouyang Xiu solve Han Qi for their own interests.

This is indeed the case, after Han Qi made a wave in front of them, these people began to try to pour dirty water on Han Qi to find evidence.

Even if there are so many people in the court who whitewash Han Qi, they can't withstand the strong combat effectiveness of these people.

After the opinions above the court were unified, Ouyang Xiu asked Zhao Zonghan to agree, remove Han Qi, Chen Shengzhi and other important officials, chase down the writings since they were born, send them back to their hometowns, and hand them over to local officials for care.

And this is basically the most serious punishment for officials, after all, the Song Dynasty has never been very murderous for civil officials.

As for the other officials, there were also a number of exiles and degraders, and they were in a hurry for more than a month anyway, and they were all disposed of by those who were going to be disposed of.

afterwards

It is the moment that Li Hao and they are looking forward to the most, because with the official position being vacated, it means that their reward can be implemented.

Li Hao was promoted from the salt and iron envoy to the third envoy this time, took over the vacated position of Chen Shengzhi, and began to completely take over the financial power.

And the specific official positions have become Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Shangshu Youcheng, and Quan San's envoy, and he has become a member of the court from the three grades.

This is also a position that Sheng Hong felt that he could achieve when he was retired, and he was very satisfied.

Of course, now Sheng Hong's goal must be more ambitious, after all, he has indeed been promoted very quickly with Li Hao in the past few years.

For example, this time, although Sheng Hong did not catch up with the meritorious service, Li Hao still won him the opportunity to take over the post of salt and iron envoy.

After all, he really understands the affairs of the Salt and Iron Division, and he is also more obedient, plus this time he sent him to Bianjing, let him go around along the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no merit and hard work.

As for Gu Tingye, they don't have to worry about Li Hao, this time the affairs of the generals are presided over by the British public.

Naturally, they would not treat Gu Tingye badly, basically everyone's official rank was promoted, and Gu Tingye was pushed to the position of deputy commander of the guard's pro-army horse army.

Yang Wenyuan also took over the position of Bi Zhongyou and became the deputy commander of the palace.

Of course, part of the position of the two of them is the help of the British public, but more importantly, the two families themselves have made great efforts.

And the rest of Yuan Wenshao and Zhang Wen are much worse, and they can only fall into the armies below.
