Not long after, Zhao Kuangyi discussed with Song Qi and clearly divided the three departments into three departments. Wang Ming was responsible for the salt envoy, Chen Congxin was the envoy of the ministry, Hao Zheng was the envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, and Song Qi was transferred to the Chief Political Affairs Office for his merits.

Like Li Fang, he was suppressed by Zhao Pu for a while, and Song Qi became a sarcastic figure and officially turned to Zhao Pu.

This time, the three departments each gave their own responsibilities, not only did they lose Hou Zhi's share, but they promoted Song Qi to an official position.

But it cannot be said that it does not work. After this change, whether it is from the Zhao Pu school or the Song Jiu school, it will be honest.

There was a fight again.

There are now four prime ministers in the Western Prefecture, Cao Bin, Song Jiu, Shi Xizai, and Chai Yuxi.

Cao Bin is indeed not very capable, but he has a deep experience and Song Jiu is conscientious and no one can say. Shi Xizai is not bad either, but Chai Yuxi is a problem.

But it's okay. Song Jiu and Shi Xizai are very capable, and Shi Xizai dares to speak out. If others say things, it would offend others. But he speaks fairly and recommends people's strengths. The latter is very similar to Song Jiu. These two people had dealt with Zhao Kuangyi when he was the prefect of Kaifeng, so they cooperated more happily. They still ran fast with two turtles.

But one person was dissatisfied. Why can Shi Xizai Chai Yuxi be promoted? I can't be promoted. We are both old ministers of the vassal palaces, and my ability is above him. What can Cao Bin do in the Western Palace?

That is Midechao.

So Midechao made a secret comment.

At first, the Song Dynasty paid silver to border guards at the beginning of each month, known as the month-to-month silver and the starting money, which was a compensation for the soldiers of the garrison.

Midechao said that the Privy Councilor Cao Bin had been in power for a long time and had gained the morale of the army. I had just come from the border and heard from the border guards that Cao Gong would give us moon-head silver again. If it weren't for Cao Gong, we would have starved to death long ago.

Is this true? Surely not.

Song Jiu was careful and did not dare to win people's hearts, and Cao Bin was even more afraid, and it was money from the court.

But enough.

With Chai Yuxi, he fanned the flames.

This made Song Jiu very puzzled. He and Pan Lian'er had also said before that Zhao Kuangyi would not attack Pan Mei and Cao Bin, and that the country was in the north and could not do without these two bigwigs.

Moreover, Cao Bin is also worthy of Zhao Kuangyi's trust because of the Chai family.

Could it be that Zhao Kuangyi was unhappy because Cao Bin saw him off for Zhao Tingmei?

Or maybe Cao Bin has been in the Western Prefecture for a long time. Zhao Kuangyi is a little taboo and wants to temporarily suppress it?

He couldn't figure out Zhao Kuangyi's thoughts and would definitely not make any suggestions. It seemed that Cao Bin was missing in the Western Palace, and there was nothing to say. But there was only one person speaking for Cao Bin, that was the chief political official Guo Zhi, the top scholar during the Qiande period. He had also served in the Zhao Kuangyi's mansion before and was also an old minister of the vassal residence.

However, the persuasion was ineffective.

Guo Zhi had no choice but to say in a speech to the palace in depressed manner: "Your Majesty, your kindness to me is deeper than the sea, I can only repay you directly."

Zhao Kuangyi simply rolled his eyes: "Can you eat straightforwardness?"

Guo Zhi was not showing any weakness and said, "It is useless to be straightforward, but it is much better than evil people to harm others."

It is reasonable that Guo Zhi did not say it wrong, but he really did not say it wrong? Just like Zhao Kuangyi asked Song Jiu and Xiao Jiu what is black, what is white, what is right, and what is wrong?

Just like Zhao Kuangyi was wrong with Zhao Pu?

If Zhao Pu had not fought shamelessly, how could Zhao Song Jiangshan gradually become stable?

As for this, Guo Zhi's persuasion will definitely lose its effect.

Cao Bin was dismissed from the governor of Tianping and Shizhong. Wang Xian was promoted from the envoy of the East Shanghemen of the sixth rank to the envoy of the second rank Xuanwei South Court and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Midechao was promoted from the seventh rank to the envoy of the North Court and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Wang Xian is a little better. Michai and the others will be framed. What else can they do if they write a report?

Guo Zhi was even more unhappy.

At this time, another old man in the palace, Zhao Rong came to the door, hoping to get convenience for his relatives and friends. Guo Zhi looked down on the actions of Chai Mi and others. Zhao Rong also relied on reporting and exposing Zhao Tingmei's rebellion, or simply defaming Zhao Tingmei to the throne. Yu and private, Guo Zhi despised Zhao Rong very much, so he immediately refused.

Zhao Rong was so angry that he collected a lot of materials to expose Guo Zhi's crime of inspectoration. Guo Zhi was also popular. I was open and honest and not afraid of you, a shameless person, so he reported Zhao Rong's private request to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi summoned the two to confront each other, and Zhao Rong quickly defeated in the face of facts. Zhao Kuangyi had to release Zhao Rong.

But things are not that simple.

Soon Guo Zhi paid a heavy price for his "unawareness".

First, Song Qi joined the Secretariat as the Chief Minister, and then Li Fang also served as the Chief Minister. Although these two people were not as shameless as Midechao, they were still inextricably linked to Zhao Pu. Guo Zhi looked down on Midechao and others, and even more so on Zhao Pu.

However, he was Zhao Kuangyi's old minister, and Zhao Pu was not very easy to start.

The dispute between Zhao and Guo gave Zhao Pu an opportunity.

Guo Zhi liked to drink, but he drank high that day and fell asleep on the bed. However, in the middle of the night, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly summoned him to the palace. He was holding his breath in his heart, but he was straightforward. After drinking too much, the king and his ministers started to argue. Outsiders don’t know what the specific dispute was. Why was Zhao Kuangyi so late? He also didn’t know. Anyway, the matter was very serious that day, and Zhao Kuangyi demoted Guo Zhi to the secretary-general's junior supervisor the next day.

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit.

The Secretariat once again became Zhao Pu's one-man show.

But the West Mansion gave Song Jiu a headache.

Cao Bin is there, and Song Jiu thinks that Cao Bin is a corpse and a bargain. But after leaving, he knows the role of Cao Bin. With him, he can calm the scene. Now that Cao Bin goes down, Wang Xian is a little better. Although he is mediocre, he is not troublesome and can fight. But both Chai and Mi are not easy to mess with, and almost makes the Western Palace become chaotic.

But fortunately, Midechao himself was stupid.

He originally hoped to get the position of Privy Councilor through this frame-up, even if he was under Song Jiu's class. But there was no, but he was under Midechao and Wang Xian's class. Wang Xian said nothing, how could He De be in his class? What skills did Chai Yuxi have in his class?

In a rage, he took a month's sick leave.

Zhao Kuang was crazy about his loyalty. I just promoted you as the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor just because you were talking nonsense. Are you not satisfied? Ignoring him, Song Jiu was happy to see him.

After a month, Midechao saw that Zhao Kuangyi did not respond, so he "was sick" to work. However, every time he went to court, Song Jiu, Shi Xizai, Chai Yuxi and Wang Xian stood in front of him, and he could not bear it. Finally, he roared in the Western Prefecture: "I advised for national affairs and had the contribution to peace of the country. Who do you have to take the lead in me? I will let me imitate you to harm others. I am really ashamed of it!"

Song Jiu was stunned.

He knew that Midechao was scolding Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi. But if he scolded like this, wouldn’t he even scolded himself and Shi Xizai?

That's the madman?

No matter what Zhao Er thought about Cao Bin, he could not stuff his cat and dog into the Western Palace together.

He was so angry that he wanted to go to Zhao Kuangyi to make a statement. Finally, he thought about it but still didn't take action. Without any hesitation, Zhao Pu ordered Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture Li Fu to detain Zhao Tingmei and brought Zhao Tingmei to Fangzhou. Zhao Pu was worried that Li Fu would leak the matter, so he found an excuse to demote Li Fu to Sima of Ningguo.

If Lu Duosun heard it in Hainan, he would definitely regret it even more. When Song Jiu refused to let Zhao Pu enter the capital, he would not listen. Zhao Pu was very smart, not only letting Li Fu be sent away, but also far away from the capital.

However, Midechao and Li Fu are kind, and they are like a bad person. They are a pair of good friends. After entering the Western Palace, they repeatedly called for injustice for Li Fu.

So Song Jiu was reluctant.

If you don’t have to take action yourself, Zhao Pu will take action for him.

Song Jiu did not speak, but Wang Xian was angry. When he was a minor official in front of the palace, he was cautious in his nature, not obsessed with his peers, and did not swear a mercy in the restaurant, which made Zhao Kuangyi see it. Therefore, this time, the Western Palace changed, and transferred Wang Xian to the Western Palace. He also personally summoned Wang Xian and said to him: "You are not a Confucian family in the world. If you encounter military chaos at a young age, you will have less knowledge. Now you are in charge of thousands of tricks, and you will have no time to read a lot of books." So he ordered his left and right to take three military orders and give them to Wang Xian. Reading this can help you avoid facing the wall.

I'm not on my position because of my talent, but because of my character.

Maybe I am not as talented as you, but my character is thousands of times better than you. Why do you, a villain who slanders Cao Bin, say this?

Seeing that Wang Xian was popular, Midechao became even more popular, he shouted again: "You should be beheaded. I guess Your Majesty can't control himself and will be confused by you."

Grandma, who was confusing the emperor? Wang Xian was so angry that he ran into the palace and appealed in person.

Zhao Kuangyi was furious and called Song Jiu to ask.

Song Jiu said: "I dare not guess my heart wildly, but the two governments choose people, so cautiously. Now, I am almost crying every day."

Even if you bring Wang Xian to the Western Prefecture, you can't get a lunatic to the Western Prefecture. What does this become?

Zhao Kuangyi then asked the censor Teng Zhongzheng to interrogate. Midechao had to admit that he was saying this. Zhao Kuangyi was furious and demoted him to Qiongzhou with his family. His son-in-law, the right-hand man, was demoted to Dantu magistrate. Zhao Pu promoted the fire. When he demoted Lu Duosun, Li Fu said, although Zhu Ya was in the sea, the land was quite good. Chunzhou was slightly close and the miasma was very poisonous. Those who were at the end would die. It would be better to let Lu Duosun get in it. In fact, Chunzhou was so dangerous? However, it was not the same thing that people were transmitted to the capital.

So Zhao Pu demoted Chunzhou in the name of Li Fu and Midechao's clique.

It turned into a farce, and Song Jiu was injured, and Zhao Pu was benefiting.

Song Jiu returned home exhausted.

Pan Lian'er said: "Officials, it may be that His Majesty wants to slowly replace the original minister with his men."

A very simple truth. If you use people, can you use the old ministers of the royal palace to make Zhao Kuangyi feel more at ease?

But it is certain that Zhao Kuangyi was crying in secret. Maybe he wanted to use his old ministers, but after Guo Zhi, Zhao Rong, Wang Xian, Chai Yuxi, and Midechao, Zhao Kuangyi wanted to cry too.

However, Song Jiu suddenly thought of something and said, "No, Your Majesty is paving the way."

"paving?"

"Paving the way for Zhao Pu to go down the current political situation."

"Will Zhao Pu go down?" Pan Lian'er asked in confusion. Of course, she was the happiest to go down, but how could Zhao Pu go down now?

Song Jiu said in Pan Lian'er's ear: "The Great... Emperor... son."

"So that's it, no wonder my husband is confident."

"That's it, this is my trump card."

"What should I do if His Majesty fails to pave the road now?"

Yes, the old man is Zhao Da’s man, and Zhao Kuangyi dares not use it. His old ministers in the royal family dare to use it, but they are not very successful. Guo Zhi is okay in his integrity, but he doesn’t know how to adapt. So he has to use Zhao Pu.

Song Jiu shook his head: "No, a new era is here."
