Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 560 The Empress Recommends!

Song Huizong's words were heard by Wu Zhi, and he did not make a decision immediately.

This time he punished a large number of corrupt officials in the Central Plains, which is already an extremely important matter, and many people are staring at the many high positions that have been vacated.

If Wu Zhi promotes his own people, the suppression of corrupt officials this time has become an opportunity for him to cultivate his party members, and it is inevitable that he will lose his mouth.

Wu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty will still be selected by His Majesty himself, and the humble officials will not interfere."

This vacancy is also an opportunity to regain control of the court situation.

If Wu Zhi uses it, he can recommend most officials to his people.

It doesn't make it clear that he wants to be a minister of power and make a statement, and all officials are his people.

Isn't Song Huizong, who is an official like this, going to be empty?

At least for now, Wu Zhi doesn't want to embarrass this brother Zhao who is nice to him.

No matter how you say it, the two have some friendship. Although their identities are different, Wu Zhi was promoted by Song Huizong after all.It is a bit unreasonable to put Song Huizong on the shelf.

In all fairness, Zhao Ji treated him well, and married his favorite daughter, Zhao Fujin, to him. Wu Zhi is now a member of the royal family.

He really had no reason to do so.

So this time, Wu Zhi insisted on rejecting the candidate.

Seeing this, Song Huizong persisted for a while, but Wu Zhi was very firm, so Song Huizong didn't say anything else.

This time I see what the queen has to say?
Song Huizong nodded secretly, he had no doubts at all.

Song Huizong paused, and then said: "Since this is the case, I will handle the officials this time.

However, when Cai Jing, the left minister of the court, changed the money for the construction of Longevity Mountain because of corruption and accepting bribes, now he deserves his crime and has been dismissed from his post and exiled, resulting in the loss of the position of prime minister. I think Wu Aiqing is very suitable. "

"I have decided to let you, Wu Aiqing, be the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty. I don't know what Wu Aiqing wants!"

Yue Fei, Song Jiang, Li Gefei and others who were present were shocked, and their hearts were ecstatic.

The military minister is going to promote the left minister?

This is really a great thing!
The power of the left prime minister is enormous, controlling many departments!

Wu Zhi was taken aback for a moment. He had agreed that the promotion would be handled by Song Huizong, but in a blink of an eye he promoted himself to be the prime minister?
You know, Zuo Xiang is the head of all civil and military officials.

Song Huizong smiled and said: "Wu Aiqing, there is no one more suitable than you in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so don't delay this time!"

Song Huizong didn't give Wu Zhi a chance to refuse, and immediately asked people to draft an order to do it.

At the same time, the position of prime minister to the right was vacant.

Due to the important position of the right phase, it is temporarily undecided, and the rest are still to be determined.

As for Wu Zhi's promotion to the left minister of the court, no one in the court had any objections, and those who had objections were afraid to speak up, and most of the rest were dismissed by Wu Zhi.

After retreating.

Many civil and military officials came to get close to Wu Zhi.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Zuo!"

"Haha, Prime Minister Wu will be the left prime minister of Song Dynasty from now on, congratulations!"

"Yeah, looking at my position as the left minister of the imperial court, it should have been yours a long time ago. Then Cai Jing occupied the position of the left minister without making any credit, but took bribes instead. Only you can take this position."

Many courtiers gathered around Wu Zhi, all smiling.

The remaining officials are either from Wu Zhi's own side, or are not serious officials of the Song Dynasty, or are relatively clean.

Even so, with regard to the power of the military prime minister, they also know the way of officialdom, and they still have to curry favor with them.

After all, the new law is still in effect now, Wu Zhi can be a sharp sword hanging over their heads at any time, even if there are some people who are not corrupt, they dare not say that they have nothing to fear.

Wu Zhi greeted everyone politely, and then dispersed.

"Now that the Chaotang Cai Jing and Shen Wei are gone, they are much cleaner!" Wu Zhi shook his head with emotion.

In the past, when there was something in the court, these people called it a joy, but now that they are gone, Wu Zhi is more relaxed.

In this way, he improved the national policy of the Song Dynasty, reformed the economy, and developed all walks of life in the Song Dynasty, and there was less resistance.

This is a good thing.

Wu Zhi relaxed all over, and went back slowly.

But halfway through, he was stopped by a young eunuch, saying that His Majesty wanted to discuss matters with him.

Yanfu Palace.

At this moment Song Huizong was fishing in the garden.

Empress Xiansu came to find her.

Empress Xiansu was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, graceful and luxurious, wearing a treasure hairpin, and walked slowly.

I have to say that this queen's temperament, figure, and appearance are also excellent. Although she is a little older, she is actually not yet forty.

She is a charming queen.

It's just that his abdomen is slightly swollen, obviously he has been pregnant for a long time.

She walked to Song Huizong's side. Song Huizong said, "Here you are! Empress, you should have a good rest recently. You are pregnant, so you should not move around."

"Your Majesty! The concubine's health is fine!"

"Have you heard about the court?"

"Hmm! Prime Minister Wu didn't insist on promoting officials, and he didn't seem to care much about cultivating his own people. Maybe he's making progress by retreating!"

Empress Xiansu said slowly.

Song Huizong heard the words, but he smiled dumbly: "You! A woman's opinion, Wu Zhi is both my brother and my son-in-law. You think too much about some things! Is it true that I can have the reputation of being a sage today? Relying on Wu Zhi?"

"Without him, there would be no Da Song today. I am assured of him."

"Queen, don't think too much about it. It's important to raise a baby."

The queen didn't say much, she really had nothing to say, she believed that Wu Zhi would train her own people before, but the news came that Wu Zhi had no idea about this at all, and insisted on throwing the matter to His Majesty to deal with .

This was beyond the queen's expectation. She felt that Wu Zhi was advancing by retreating, but thinking about it, maybe she really thought too much?
Who knows.

But this time Empress Xiansu came to Song Huizong not for this matter.

Sitting next to her, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you promoted Wu Zhi to the position of left minister, replacing Cai Jing!"

"Well, Cai Jing is exiled, and the position is vacant. No one is more suitable than Wu Zhi. Why, do you object?"

"The concubine dare not, but the concubine is thinking, Wu Zhi has been promoted, and his position is vacant, whether it is possible to find a suitable candidate. The position of the right minister of the court is also very important, and it is necessary to find someone who is extremely trustworthy!"

"Oh? Who can choose for the queen?"

Song Huizong was worried about this matter.

Empress Xiansu: "Now that there is a vacancy in the imperial court, a group of people are urgently needed to consolidate His Majesty's power. All important positions require His Majesty's people in charge. The ministers think that the Privy Council envoy has this qualification."

"Hehe, this is your mother's family, right?" Song Huizong was not angry when he heard the words.

Now the imperial court needs some trustworthy people around them, so it is also possible for the Privy Council envoy to be promoted to the right minister.

And no one is more qualified than the Privy Council Envoy.

"This quota is set."

Song Huizong was straightforward.

Empress Xiansu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In fact, Empress Xiansu wanted to recommend his father Zheng Shen, an older man who had been robbed of the position of Grand Master by Wu Zhi before.

She was still brooding about it.

It's just that her father's official position is not that high after all, and he is not capable enough, and he can't be promoted, so after much deliberation, she can only let the Privy Council make it easier to be a prime minister.

Empress Xiansu is more scheming.

She is very loyal to Song Huizong, but there is nothing wrong with it. Her position as queen depends on Song Huizong.

If Song Huizong lost her rights, she would be finished.

So she worked hard to plan and consolidate her own position.

　Wu Dalang: Thank you for tipping the tail number 1929, 100 starting coins. .
