Chapter 4 My rivers and lakes, my world

In the second year of the Song State Baoqing, when the chūn day was about to pass, a major event occurred in the imperial court, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan, wrote to the emperor Xià, and asked His Majesty to return to his hometown on the grounds of illness, and the emperor tried his best to keep it many times, but the prime minister had already decided, and the emperor had no choice but to allow Shi Miyuan's resignation, and a generation of ministers left the imperial city of Lin'an and returned to Dongqian Lake in Mingzhou for retirement.

This is just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, it is just a response strategy discussed by Shi Miyuan and the Empress Dowager, Shi Miyuan's departure can calm the public opinion in the Song Kingdom, and the Prime Minister transferred power to the Empress Dowager, and after a year or two of the turmoil subsides, he can also come back and continue to control the power of the Song State.

In order to express his respect for the Prime Minister, His Majesty personally led the civil and military officials to send the Prime Minister out of Lin'an City, looking at Shi Mi's distant back, Yang Kang crossed out this name in his heart, since you have left this imperial city, then you will never want to come back.

With Shi Miyuan's departure, the power of the Song Kingdom was concentrated in the hands of a woman named Yang Guizhi, the fifty-nine-year-old empress dowager who was known for her beauty when she was young, and started in the palace as a low-ranking lady of Pingle County, and was later named Jieyu, Wanyi, and Guifei, and finally became the queen of the world.

At that time, the queen of the Song Emperor Zhao Kuo was the Han family, after the death of Empress Han, Yang Guizhi and a Cao beauty were favored by Zhao Kuo, Prime Minister Xie Shenfu supported Yang Guizhi, Han Yanxuan supported Cao Meiren, Cao Meiren xìng Ge was supple, Yang Guizhi dabbled in history books, xìng Geji jǐng, knew how to power, and successfully took charge of the harem under Xie Shenfu's strong recommendation, which is the reason why Yang Guizhi took care of the Xie family.

Because of this, when Yang Kang proposed to let Xie Yili serve as the governor, Yang Guizhi did not object, the governor is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, and there are also the left prime minister and the right prime minister, which is an official position to handle chores for the two prime ministers, but once the two prime ministers have a vacancy, the governor can be substituted and successfully turned into a regular.

Xie Yili's promotion is just a microcosm of the turmoil in the entire Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager installed a lot of her cronies in this transfer of power, and the children of the Yang family were rewarded, this undercurrent spread throughout the Song Dynasty officialdom, and His Majesty the Emperor watched coldly and wrote down these names in his heart.

In order to calm the criticism of the government and the opposition, the empress dowager re-summoned the main war faction of the Song State who had been deposed to various places, and these ministers did not repent, and just came back to ask the emperor to let his majesty be in power, wanting to force the empress dowager to remove the curtain and no longer interfere in the government, the empress dowager Yang Guizhi asked the emperor in front of the ministers of the court if he wanted to be in power, and the emperor stretched his waist, yawned, and sighed.

"I was so tired last night!"

Yang Kang left from the dragon chair in a big way, leaving behind the ministers who looked at each other and the satisfied queen mother, the emperor's majesty had already heard about the robbery of the people's daughters, and it was not enough to describe the emperor, these ministers had no choice but to sigh, it was really the misfortune of the Song State to have such an emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor returned to the harem, chatted and laughed with his only concubine Mu Nianci, then changed into civilian clothes and quietly left the palace.

In a deep mansion compound in Lin'an Mansion, Lou Shidao, who returned from the Jin Kingdom, was waiting for the arrival of the Emperor Xià, Lou Shidao's identity was even more tricky than Mu Nianci, this Mingjiao Guangming Left Envoy had been an envoy to Mongolia, and he had also been a prime minister in the Jin State, unless he wore a mask like Yang Kang, it was difficult to appear in the court of the Song State, and he could only hide behind the scenes to plan.

There is also Murong Yan, the master of the Western Xia Yipintang, in this mansion, as long as Yang Kang's identity is not leaked, and he is still the emperor of the Song Kingdom, he has no intention of letting this woman leave, in case the puppet emperor Li Chengzhen of the Western Xia knows his identity and threatens the emperor to send Song soldiers into the Western Xia Kingdom to fight the Mongols, it will be too sad.

There is also the Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianqi captured from the Valley of Despair, one of her two brothers died in the prison of the Song Kingdom, and the other died under Yang Kang's sword, the Iron Palm Gang and the Valley of Despair have disappeared, she can be said to be alone, Qiu Qianqi still doesn't know the death of the two elder brothers, but she knows that it was the army of the Song State that destroyed the Iron Palm Gang and the Valley of Despair, and she hated the Emperor of the Song State to the core, and it was difficult to control.

The other is Lu Zhanyuan, a young man who has just surrendered, and the emperor has launched the official forces of Jiaxing Mansion to find Lujiazhuang, Lu Zhanyuan is famous in Jiaxing Wulin, and it is rumored that there are two Lujiazhuangs in the south of the Yangtze River, one is located in Taihu Lake, and the other is located in Lujiazhuang in Jiaxing.

Lujiazhuang on Taihu Lake was created by Lu Chengfeng, a disciple of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, Lu Zhanyuan can be as famous as the lame Lu Chengfeng, and his martial arts are close to the realm of first-class masters.

When he rushed back to Lujiazhuang, he saw that the officials were arresting the people everywhere, and then he realized that there was a price to be paid for doing chivalrous deeds, and the faint monarch actually wanted to use the lives of the entire Lujiazhuang people to force him to surrender, looking at the pitiful appearance of his younger brother Lu Liding and the people in the village, Lu Zhanyuan resolutely stood up.

Emperor Majesty observed this young man in the dark, and he didn't see it, Lu Zhanyuan was a lot haggard, and he no longer had the same radiant appearance as before, which made Yang Kang very satisfied, for those who offended him, Emperor Majesty believed in a principle, that is, he would not let go of any of them.

Of course, this is just an excuse, he just hates Lu Zhanyuan from the bottom of his heart, it is enough to have him Yang Shaoxia in this Jianghu, to hell with all Lu Shaoxia and Guo Shaoxia, this is his Yang Shaoxia's rivers and lakes, this is his Yang Kang's world, and others can only be supporting roles, no exceptions.

"Your Majesty, this person is just an ordinary master in the martial arts, I don't know what the use of catching it?" Lou Shidao wondered.

"Fate is sometimes elusive. His Majesty the Emperor said with a mysterious aura.

That's right, who would have thought that this Lu Shaoxia would meet Li Mochou of the Tomb Sect a few years later and change the life of the Chilian Fairy, and this unexpected encounter was more than ten years later Li Mochou bloodied Lujiazhuang and completely changed the fate of the two children, those two children are called Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.

But since he Yang Shaoxia intervened, the wheel of fate is about to change in one direction, maybe for the better, of course it may be worse, the result can not be predicted, this is the most interesting part of life, it will always scare you when you don't expect it. (To be continued.) )
