At this time, the Great Song Wenchen, Cai Jing ranked first, and Liu Zhengfu ranked second.

Liu Zhengfu once attached himself to Cai Jing and helped Cai Jing regain his phase for the second time, and also helped Cai Jing bring down Zhang Shangying.

However, Cai Jing had a sworn enemy named Liu Kui before, and Liu Zhengfu had a close personal relationship with Liu Kui, so there was a rift between the two.

Song Huizong deliberately promoted Liu Zhengfu, the meaning is already very obvious, that is, to let the two prime ministers fight back and forth!

"Father, the official family issued an order today, from the Ministry of Rites to the Guozi Prison, all the main and second officials will be demoted and punished!" The second son, Liu Fumin, ran back to report the news.

Liu Fumin's position is to wait for the system, that is, the emperor's library clerk, who specializes in serving the emperor to read and write, and can obtain information at the first time.

The eldest son, Liu Soomin, is a squire in the military department, and said with a smile: "This is a great joy." The punishment of those officials of the Ministry of Rites, although it did not shake Cai Jing's foundation, meant that the officials were more and more dissatisfied with him. In time, Cai Jing will inevitably fall! ”

Liu Zhengfu sighed: "This is the official family and the ministers, roasting me on the fire!" ”

Liu Zhengfu didn't want to fight with Cai Jing, he had always regarded himself as Cai Jing's henchman. Inexplicably, the emperor pushed him to the forefront, and Cai Jing's opponents also came to attach themselves to him and forced him to sing against Cai Jing.

This time the ministers impeached Cai Jing's henchmen, Liu Zhengfu did nothing, but Cai Jing's anger would definitely be sprinkled on him.

"Well, I'd better resign." Liu Zhengfu actually began to study ink and prepared to write a resignation letter to go home for retirement.

Liu Soomin was shocked: "Why is my father like this? ”

Liu Zhengfu said: "Cai Jing has no bottom line, I can't fight him." I am old and sick, and at most I will return to my hometown. But you two brothers, I am afraid of their revenge! The matter of Liu Highway is not far away. ”

Liu Highway is Liu Kui, Cai Jing attacked his brother, the case implicated thousands of people, and dozens of people were executed (most of the dead were Xu officials, but also Liu Kui's relatives).

"Father doesn't have to worry, there is a mother (queen) in the palace to support him, can Cai Jing please the official family more than the mother?" Liu Fumin said.

"You are confused, the queen has not seen Zheng Juzhong for a long time!" Liu Zhengfu said.

Zheng Juzhong is the one who is related to Empress Zheng, and he is Li Qingzhao's own uncle in terms of seniority, and he used to belong to Cai Jing's henchmen. Now that the "clan sister" has become the queen, Zheng Juzhong's ambition has also increased, and Song Huizong took the opportunity to promote this person and let Zheng Juzhong contain Cai Jing's forces.

Liu Zhengfu and Zheng Juzhong became the core of the "anti-Cai Jing Alliance" in a daze, but in fact, it was arranged by the emperor.

Empress Zheng obviously felt that the wind was not right, forced her father to resign, and no longer contacted her brother Zheng Juzhong.

Liu Soomin was still reluctant to be prosperous and rich, and persuaded around the bend: "Father, the official family will not allow you to resign if you want to fight Cai Jing." ”

Liu Zhengfu thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, I have to let the official take the initiative to let me go." ”

So, Liu Zhengfu rewrote the letter of advice.

Song Huizong has been complacent recently, and plans to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces did not dare to advise.

Liu Zhengfu has excellent writing and has written thousands of words.

He knew Song Huizong's temper, and whoever dared to advise would make him unhappy, especially after the persuasion was successful!

This exhortation will definitely be successful, just wake up, and Song Huizong, who wants to save face, will give up - since Song Zhenzong's commotion operation, Feng Chan Taishan has become a joke.

Liu Zhengfu only has one thought left now, the emperor is disgusted with me, let me resign early and go back to my hometown.

……

"This Liu Zhengfu is just old and confused!"

After reading Song Huizong's exhortation, he was really angry.

Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't plan to let Liu Zhengfu go.

When Cai Jing resigned for the second time, there was already a rift between the monarch and the minister. Even Cai Jing's dismissal of the prime minister was arranged by Song Huizong, and he also used the star change incident to imply that Cai Jing had a heart that was not conducive to society.

But Song Huizong couldn't do without Cai Jing, and while he was dismissed, he gave a house and was ready to reactivate it at any time.

You have to use it, Cai Jing makes a lot of money.

Then promote officials to check and balance Cai Jing, and promote two in a row, both of which were carried down by Cai Jing, and Song Huizong decided to start from within it, dividing the Cai Party and making them fight endlessly.

Liu Zhengfu is the key chess piece, and Zheng Juzhong belongs to the reserve force.

"Official, Master Cai asks to see you." The chamberlain came to report.

Song Huizong immediately smiled: "Let him wait, I'll go." ”

This emperor is a master of playing with people's hearts, and he is writing a very outrageous script: promote and reuse Cai You, and let Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son compete!

Historically, Huizong of the Song Dynasty succeeded.

The father and son of the Cai family were turned against each other, and Cai You repeatedly asked to kill his fourth brother.

At the beginning, Cai Jing may have been acting with his son, so that the emperor could rest assured. But while acting, the fake becomes real, and Cai You even forced his father to quit for the third time.

Song Huizong sat on the imperial chariot and went to the outside of the Cloud Palace, and Cai You had been waiting for a long time.

"Come up!" Song Huizong beckoned and shouted.

Cai You really ran over, got into the imperial chariot with a smile, and rode in the same carriage with the emperor.

The monarch and the minister went to the large construction site in the northeast corner, where the Shangqing Treasure Palace was being built. After it was completed, it was specially used for Taoist Jiaozhai, and the emperor summoned Taoist priests in the future to be here.

In addition to the Shangqing Treasure Palace in the Imperial Palace, a number of Taoist temples were also built in and around Tokyo at the same time, some of which were directly rebuilt from Buddhist temples.

said that this palace, since the fight against Song Huizong's pro-government, civil affairs have not stopped.

Liu Mingkang, a Taoist priest who is good at feng shui, was standing on the construction site at the moment and hurriedly greeted him when he saw the royal chariot coming.

Song Huizong asked: "Can real people get something?" ”

Liu Mingkang said: "Back to Your Majesty, Tokyo is located in a gentle position, and the situation in the northeast of the imperial family is slightly lower, and the yin qi is extremely strong, which is not conducive to the birth of a prince. It is necessary to raise the ground and build a palace to calm the yin qi. ”

"I see," Song Huizong finally understood the previous emperors, why the princess gave birth to a bunch, but the prince was very scarce, "so he demolished the palace in the northeast corner, raised the terrain, and rebuilt the palace." When the Shangqing Treasure Palace is built, it will be built there, and it will be called ...... It's called Banzai Mountain. ”

Banzai Mountain, that is, Gen Yue, is the root of the growing intensity of the Huashi class.

Cai You hurriedly flattered: "The official family is wise, once the terrain is changed and the yin qi is suppressed, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely last for a thousand years!" ”

Song Huizong returned to the carriage and said to the lieutenant officer: "Let Liang Shicheng be responsible for supervising the construction of Wansui Mountain, and then send an order to Zhu Mian to let him transport more strange stones from the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly ran to deliver the decree.

Song Huizong said again: "Real people also came over and went to watch the play together." ”

Liu Mingkang cautiously got into the car and sat beside Song Huizong.

This old Taoist priest actually did not want to serve the emperor, he resigned several expeditions, and was almost tied to Tokyo by the eunuchs. During this period, he also resigned many times, and each time he was rewarded, and Song Huizong even wanted to crown him as "Sanmao Zhenjun"!

Liu Mingkang has completely laid down, and the emperor will do whatever he asks him to do, and he has never participated in court battles.

He thought that nothing would happen in this way, but he didn't know that what he had just said was about to provoke a huge Fangla uprising.

A gentleman and a minister together, took a carriage back to the Cloud Palace.

The Cloud Hall is the place where the emperor watched the play, and next door is the Jiying Hall where the palace test is held.

The three of them watched the play for a while, and Liang Shicheng also came to discuss with the emperor how to build Banzai Mountain.

After watching the show, Cai You suddenly said: "Official, the minister's drama skills have risen sharply recently, or Bojun may smile." ”

"Let's go and change my clothes." Song Huizong said.

Liang Shicheng said: "The officials and ministers are the same. ”

Song Huizong said, "You go too." ”

So, a scholar of the Xuanhe Palace and a great eunuch in the palace went together to make up and change clothes.

Not long after, they ran back, and before they started acting, they made Song Huizong laugh.

I saw that the great eunuch Liang Shicheng was stained with a beard, wearing an ill-fitting costume and armor, and his helmet was deliberately worn crookedly, which was very funny at first glance.

And Cai You was wearing shorts and shorts, smeared with grease and powder, and was dressed as a woman.

The two sang and played, and the performance was so lively.

Liang Shicheng is wooden-tongued and not good at words, and when he plays the general, he is like a fool, and he is played by the woman played by Cai You.

Song Huizong saw it and covered his stomach with a smile.

If Su Dongpo knew about it, it was estimated that he would kick the coffin board and beat Liang Shicheng so that he couldn't take care of himself.

Because Liang Shicheng is proficient in poetry and books, he likes to be vassal, and claims to be Su Shi's illegitimate son......

Yang Qiu, who often imitated the emperor's handwriting to send his will, was actually Liang Shicheng's subordinate. Liang Shicheng was deliberately cultivating eunuchs, imitating and practicing the calligraphy of Song Huizong, and in the future, there were more and more people who could forge the emperor's handwriting, and his "hidden appearance" became more and more worthy of his name.

The monarch and the ministers had a while, and the sky gradually darkened.

Cai You, Liang Shicheng and Liu Mingkang, seeing that the emperor had no idea of staying overnight, quit the palace one after another.

Song Huizong also got up to leave, caught a glimpse of Fu Dexiang, who was in charge of the troupe, and immediately beckoned him to ask: "What kind of Eight Elements Scholar is that......

"Zhu Chenggong." Fu Dexiang said.

"That's right, it's called Zhu Chenggong," Song Huizong said, "He resigned himself to the imperial examination, and went to see if this person had come to Tokyo to take the exam." ”

Fu Dexiang received the emperor's order and immediately went out of the palace to inquire in person.

He thought it would be very difficult, but he went to an inn casually, and only asked a few scholars, and found out that Zhu Chenggong had arrived in Beijing.

This person inquired carefully about the situation, hurriedly went back to report, and was jealous that Zhu Ming did not give him face, and added oil and vinegar to slander: "Official, Zhu Chenggong has gone to Tokyo and preached heresies and strange theories with Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan's nephew. Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Guozi Siye, and Guozi Jian Cheng went to stop it, but Zhu Chenggong actually instigated the scholars and humiliated Kaifeng Mansion Yin. This person has many disobedient words, but he claims to be a new heir, with ill intentions, and does not know what he wants. ”

Song Huizong was not angry when he heard this, but felt very interesting.

Kaifeng Mansion Yin is Zhu Mian's person, and he is also very close to Cai Jing. Guozi Siye and Guozi Jian Cheng are Cai Jing's hardcore henchmen.

A candidate for the exam, just came to Tokyo, and offended Cai Jing and Zhu Mian.

Song Huizong felt that this person could be promoted, just like throwing a stone into a pit, and the situation must be different. Over time, it can make Cai Jing and Zhu Mian disgusting enough.

This emperor deliberately left several old trolls specifically to impeach Cai Jing.

He decided to train Zhu Ming as a spokesperson and make a young troll with strong firepower.

The more I thought about it, the more interesting it became, Song Huizong called Deputy Prime Minister Hou Meng the next day and instructed: "There is an exam-taking person named Zhu Ming, the word is successful, you can mention it." If he fails to make the list, he will be recommended to enter Taixue. ”

Song Huizong still doesn't know that someone has already recommended Zhu Ming to study too much.
