Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and in the study, Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, stood by the window, standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the night sky.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin'an City is brightly lit, a joyful and lively scene.

Shifu is no exception. From the winter solstice, the front of the Shifu is full of crowns, and the doors of the Shifu crowded by sedan chairs and carriages are impassable, and all kinds of people who come to visit and give gifts are endless. Especially on Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many guests, and the mansion is overcrowded. It wasn't until the end of the day that the Shi Mansion quieted down a little.

Eighteen years ago, that is, in the third year of Kaixi, the Northern Expedition of Kaixi presided over by Han Yanxuan, the minister of power in the Southern Song Dynasty, failed. At that time, Shi Miyuan, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Yishan of Zishantang, and Yang Guizhi, the empress, conspired to send Xia Zhen, the official of the former secretary of the palace, to kill Han Yanxuan in Yujin Garden, and sent a letter to his head to ask for peace, and signed the Jiading Peace Agreement, and the Song and Jin armistice were signed.

Shi Miyuan was promoted to the right prime minister the following year after Han Yanzhou's death, and then held power for fifteen years.

Jiading peace talks!

Shi Miyuan's brows furrowed unconsciously.

It was this "Jiading Peace Proposal", which was considered the most humiliating in the history of the Song Jin Discussion and the Song Dynasty, that made him infamous and dissatisfied with the government and the opposition, and also became a sting in his heart.

"Jiading Peace Conference", Jin Song changed from the country of uncles and nephews to the country of uncles and nephews, and the annual coin was increased from 200,000 to 300,000; plus 3 million taels of "military silver".

But in any case, the empress Yang Guizhi and his student Zhao Xun, the prince of Jingxian, were supportive of him in killing Han Yanxuan and Jin Qiuhe, which also made his position in the court as stable as Mount Tai, and he monopolized power, which was hot.

It wasn't until three years ago, that is, in the thirteenth year of Jiading, that his student, Zhao Xun, the 27-year-old prince of Jingxian of the Great Song Dynasty, died of illness, and Zhao Hong, the heir of the king of the clan, was made the prince, that he felt threatened.

This idiot, a little bullshit prince, dares to pick his nose and eyes at himself, the prime minister of the dynasty, he is really bold and presumptuous!

In addition to writing the words "Mi Yuan should be matched with eight thousand miles", he also called himself "Xin'en", which means that he will ascend the throne one day and exile himself to Xinzhou or Enzhou.

This ignorant and arrogant waste, does he really think that he is like dough, and can be kneaded by him, a powerless prince?

Han Yan is a dignified minister of the country, with monstrous power, and the emperor doesn't pay attention to it, and he doesn't say that he will kill it. He is a powerless prince who dares to ride on his head and. He didn't want to be this prince.

"Dad, why don't you go to the front to drink?"

Shi Miyuan's eldest son, Shi Zhaizhi, entered the study and asked softly.

"Why don't you say hello when you come in, don't you know the etiquette?"

Shi Mi didn't look back, and said softly.

Shi Zhai's heart was startled, he didn't dare to tell the difference, and was about to withdraw, Shi Miyuan turned his head, waved his hand, and walked to the table.

"Forget it! Make a note next time! Shut the door! ”

"Yes, the boy remembers!"

Shi Zhaizhi said respectfully, closed the door, walked to the desk, and stood with his hands tied.

Although he dared to come in because the study door was open, he didn't dare to tell the difference.

Although he is over thirty years old, in front of his fierce father, Shi Zhaizhi is still respectful, like a child.

Shi Miyuan has three sons and several daughters, except for the eldest son Shi Zhaizhi's flexible mind, the other two sons are mediocre in qualifications. One daughter married the Zhao Song clan, and the other daughter married the military department Shangshu Xuanxuan. Shi Miyuan's family education is very strict, and his children are not out of line.

"Dad, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a day of great joy. Why do you look a little ......"

Shi Zhaizhi observed his words and looks, and found clues from his father's frowning eyebrows.

"Look at this!"

Shi Miyuan picked up the paper on the table and handed it to his son.

Shi Zhaizhi took the paper and looked at it in confusion.

“…… Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle eagle......"

Shi Zhaizhi looked at it with a heartbeat, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice:

"Dad, who wrote this? This person's talent is unfathomable. This is Liu ......"

"You can't guess, this is written by Zhao Hong!"

Shi Miyuan rudely interrupted his son's words, his face full of impatience.

"Zhao Hong? That Zhao Hong? ”

Shi Zhaizhi was confused, and he didn't think of Zhao Hong.

"Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong, the book of Fengle Building, and the people of Lin'an City, almost all know it!"

Shi Miyuan sat down on the chair with a cold gaze.

Good days, happy days, all let this prodigal man disturb.

"Zhao Hong? That wreck! ”

Shi Zhai was surprised, and suddenly realized.

It turned out that his father was angry because of Zhao Hong's matter, no wonder he didn't have a good face for a day.

"Dad, this can't be true, can it? Zhao Hong has this talent! If he had, he would have offered favor to the official family a long time ago, so why wait until now? Is this really Dexiu, or is it Wei Liaoweng who did it, let Zhao Hong come out to grandstand, right? ”

Shi Zhaizhi analyzed and said.

Zhao Hong is a few pounds and a few taels, and he still knows that eight or nine is not far from ten. With that waste of dim sum, he can make such a masterpiece that is worthy of eternity, he really doesn't believe it.

"Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng don't have that ability, even Liu Kezhuang is far behind."

Shi Miyuan shook his head and snorted coldly.

"However, there is one thing you are right. The official family must have also seen these poems, and they must be appreciating his emperor's masterpieces at this moment! ”

Shi Miyuan's brows tightened, Shi Zhai's eyes rolled, and he comforted Shi Miyuan softly.

"Dad, it's okay for the official family to see it. Except for cultivating the Tao and cultivating qi, alchemy and meditation, the official family will not care about these. ”

In his opinion, it's just a few poems, no matter how well they are done, what is the effect?

Don't say that Zhao Hong is just a prince, even if he is the prince of this dynasty and the emperor of this dynasty, what can he do?

"Confused!"

Shi Miyuan glanced at his son dissatisfied, and the latter immediately stood up straight, respectful.

"As an official of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how slack off the government, there is always a group of loyal ministers and filial sons behind him, and his strength cannot be underestimated. The prime minister of the two dynasties of my historian family, full of scholars, has long been a big fan. Do you think that your father will not be hated? Won't the historian be suspicious of the officials? ”

He conspired with Empress Yang Guizhi to kill Han Yanxuan; disobeyed the holy decree and assassinated his ministers in the court; Not to mention the monopoly of power, the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Kuo is like a puppet.

Even if it is speculated by common sense, Zhao Kuo may also hate him to the core, and he wants to get rid of him quickly.

"Dad, in that case, why don't you dismiss Wu Jing and Wei Liaoweng? In this way, there will be much fewer obstacles in the court! ”

Shi Zhaizhi was a little puzzled and said softly.

Zhao Kuo is weak and loves to eat Jindan, so he doesn't know how long he can live. Deposing Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng is not a one-and-done thing.

"You, you are still not deeply involved in the world, you have to temper it well."

Shi Miyuan glanced at his son coldly and said patiently:

"If Dad blindly suppresses these Confucians, can Daddy, the prime minister, still sit firmly? Are there still so many scholars who support it? Do everything with grace and power, and blindly suppressing will only embarrass yourself more. ”

He advocated science, abolished the ban on learning, reinstated the ministers Zhao Ruyu and Lu Zuqian who were reprimanded when Han Yanxuan was in power, and posthumously awarded Zhu Xi the official title, summoned Lin Dazhong, Lou Jian and other old men into the court, and hired Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Yang Jian, Li Xinchuan and many other science people, nothing more than to win the support of science people.

It is precisely because he treats physicists well and wins the hearts of the people that his position as prime minister sits firmly and steadily, and even the emperor can't help him.

"What Daddy said is, the child understands!"

Shi Zhai's heart was convinced, and he hurriedly responded.

My father has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, and his cultivation is profound, how can he compare with himself!

"You go down and check carefully, whether these poems were made by Zhao Hong. Xu Ji, why hasn't she reported this matter all the time? ”

Shi Miyuan stroked his beard and thought.

"Xu Ji, you won't be moved by Zhao Hong and sell us, right?"

Shi Zhaizhi immediately became nervous.

"Never! If she dares to make a mistake, hum! ”

Shi Miyuan raised his head and looked at his son with a cold gaze.

"Keep an eye on Xu Ji. Also, don't get too close to her! It's a big deal, but you ask! ”

"Yes, yes, the child doesn't dare to make a mistake!"

Shi Zhaizhi's face turned red, and he hurriedly agreed.

Xu Ji's beauty, he has long coveted it, and the taste is not an ordinary ecstasy. It's just a pity that such a stunner is exclusively enjoyed by Zhao Hong.

Seeing that his father was silent, Shi Zhaizhi asked tentatively:

"Dad, the stones in Zhao Hong's thatched pit are smelly and hard. Why don't you give him ...... It's a hundred! ”

Shi Zhaizhi's eyes showed a hint of hideousness.

"Confused! The next step! ”

Shi Miyuan looked at the door nervously and lowered his voice to scold.

"If that's the case, don't talk about the official family, even the queen can't get by. To deal with Zhao Hong, a fool, you don't need such a means! ”

"The child is dull! That's what Daddy said! However, with Queen Yang, Dad still has to be careful. The Yang brothers may be able to use it in the future. ”

Shi Zhaizhi nodded again and again, still not forgetting to remind his father.

Although the father is domineering, if there is a good suggestion, the father will gladly adopt it, and even praise it.

"You're right! The Yang brothers are arrogant and lascivious, and they spend excessively, so they are indeed good moves. ”

Sure enough, Shi Miyuan spoke softly and said with relief.

"Dad, Chuzhou Li Quan's side, do you want to be tougher? Xu Guo is not tactful enough, if he goes to Chuzhou, will he have a stalemate with Li Quan? If that's the case, there will be chaos on the border of Huaidong. ”

Shi Zhaizhi returned to the warlord Li on Huainan East Road and returned to the theme.

Jia She, the former envoy of the Huainan East Road, died of illness when he stepped down, and Xu Guo, who was sent to take over as the envoy of the Huainan East Road, was originally a military general and could command the army. I just don't know, will there be a conflict between him and Li Quan?

Li Quan is domineering, shaped like a feudal town, sitting on the border of Chuzhou and Shandong, Li Quan's loyal and righteous army is strong and strong, in case of a break with the imperial court, the spearhead will be pointed at his father.

"Li Quan's side, it's better to be appeased. As long as there is no fighting, the status quo is maintained. Besides, Shandong is erosive, and the loyal and righteous army can only be maintained by relying on the money and grain of the imperial court. Although Li Quan is domineering, he should know the priorities and will not rebel easily. ”

When it comes to Li Quan, Shi Miyuan also has a headache.

Shi Miyuan frowned, and Shi Zhaizhi hurriedly reported another matter.

"Dad, Yangzhou Zhizhou Zheng Zheng just came here and gave two hundred taels of gold and a box of pearls."

"Sichuan is about to step down with Cui He, so Zheng Yi will take over."

Shi Miyuan thought for a moment and spoke softly.

Under Cui's rule, Sichuan's military and government were coordinated, the soldiers were well fed, and the local area was rich and stable. The new emperor of the Jin State ascended the throne and made peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no war on the border.

Zheng Zheng is diligent and exquisite, and he should be able to serve as the envoy of Sichuan.

In the Song Dynasty, the appointment of officials above the level was drafted by the chief executive, and could only be formally removed with the consent of the emperor. But Shi Miyuan is a solitary minister, the prime minister and privy envoy, and he only needs to tell the emperor the result of the appointment, and never takes the decree. In addition to the authorization of the Beijing officials and the electors, it was originally in the Ministry of Officials, known as the four elections of the Ministry of Officials; Only those with special meritorious service can be directly dispatched by the government affairs hall, and the dispatch obtained is better than the faster selection of the ministry of officials, and it is known as the removal of the court.

Shi Miyuan controlled the selection of officials in the name of Tang Division, and even the feudal officials such as the Sichuan System Envoy and the Huainan East Road System Envoy were also "decided by Fang Min and exercised power in the bed", and one person had the final say. The magnitude of its power can be seen.

"Dad, tomorrow is the big dynasty, let's rest early."

The matter was over, and Shi Zhaizhi gently retreated.

Only Shi Miyuan was left in the study, he returned to the table, picked up Zhao Hong's poems on the table and looked at them a few times, crumpled them in disgust, and threw them on the ground.
