I studied in modern times

Chapter 515 The best way to overcome fear is... (Happy New Year)

Jia Zhongmin's appointment process went very quickly.

Within three days, the official appointment letter was completed and sent to the Ministry of Interior Affairs.

Immediately, Liu Youfang, the warden who was on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, assigned a young man to read the edict.

Jia Zhongmin was able to take office with lightning speed.

The whole process was so smooth that Yushitai didn't even react.

With a snap, Jia Zhongmin, the "treacherous villain", had already infiltrated the "official affairs of the inner and outer roads of Bianjing" presided over by the emperor himself, and became the "recording street".

Qingliu like Cheng Yi, Su Che and Sun Jue all felt a little disgusted after reacting, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Because this is in line with the ancestral system.

The big and small are in harmony with each other, and the different opinions are in conflict!

Among the officials, those with a keen sense of politics have even begun to make preparations.

He was an important minister of Xixia, and his status was roughly equivalent to that of the Six Ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, adding sand is imperative.

And this Chun Yue Luoyu who appeared on the certificate of credence was one of the few people in Zhao Xu's youth who could not hold back and got angry and scolded him in front of the palace.

Shaanxi sent the Xixia credential.

It is also something that both the government and the opposition agree to.

There is no problem if you say a few words about the wise officials and the benevolence of the emperor, and praise the virtues of government.

maybe!

But does anyone dare to bet?

A typical example is that after Zhenmiao signed the Chanyuan Alliance, he was very proud and had great trust in Kou Laigong (Kou Zhun).

If you don’t believe it, you can read the history of the country.

A small thing can be magnified infinitely by them.

How many people can have confidence?

I really have a cow at home!

They are all transliterated names.

If you don't do this, it will be abnormal, and you have to be careful about being listed in the future - the hearts of Zhao officials are always sensitive and suspicious.

Dinghai in June (the first day of the lunar month).

Cai was indeed demoted, but he remained silent.

After entering Beijing, three copies of the credentials were copied immediately, and one of them was delivered to Zhao Xu.

the reason is simple.

Chun Yue is the official name of Xixia, and can also be called: Chuang You.

It would be good to go to Jiying Hall for lectures once a month.

Spring is about to happen.

Even Renmiao, who is famous for his "kindness", is like this.

As a result, all the ministers of the old party came to the Jiying Palace.

No force can be all-powerful around the emperor.

In preparation for the future, one or two new party ministers were added to the group of banquet officials.

However, the treacherous Prime Minister Wang Qinruo saw the right moment and said something: Official, have you ever heard of 'all in one'?

I lost the bet, but it is possible to go to Lingnan to eat lychees, or even go fishing in Yazhou like Kou Laigong.

Kou Laigong's achievements in Chanzhou were completely offset by such a light word!

In fact, it has been under suspicion ever since!

This is Zhao Guan's family!

Will today be an exception?

Zhang Dun was scolded, but he just watched quietly.

Look at Zhao Guan's family, are they all like this?

It was the second ruler of Xixia, Li Liangzuo, the British leader of Xixia, who was shot by an arrow from the guard of Dashun City in the Great Song Dynasty and died of infection from the arrow wound. This was also the name of the Tibetan official introduced during the so-called Xia Yizong restructuring.

In such a court atmosphere, time flies by.

To know!

At this time in his previous life, Zhao Xu had completely learned to control his temper.

Now, among the officials who give lectures, secondary lectures and assistant lectures in Jiying Hall, after Deng Runfu was appointed as the governor, there are no new party ministers worthy of giving lectures - in power, they should be busy with state affairs.

Moreover, this is not the case for one generation, it should be the case for generations!

But it was really his turn, his turn to bet.

This is not in line with the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty at all.

May of the first year of Yuanyou came to an end soon, and June of Jixia came in the blink of an eye.

Do you dare to risk your entire wealth and the future of your descendants on whether this official family will be 'different from the ancestors'?

Zhao Xu saw a familiar name on this letter of credence.

Even though Lu Huiqing was humiliated by Su Shi, he pretended not to know.

However, on the day when he entered the court, he couldn't hold back. In front of the ministers of the government and the opposition and the empress dowager, he became furious and slapped the table and glared angrily.

So, although this matter has passed many years.

But Zhao Xu always remembered it clearly.

This is something unforgettable.

Now, I see this familiar name again.

Zhao Xu's mind was in a trance, and he couldn't help but recall the nightmare in his previous life.

His mind seemed to have returned to the time when the Empress Dowager listened to politics behind the curtain, and he could only look at the minister's buttocks, sitting on the throne like a puppet.

At that time, he was much thinner than he is now, and his health was not in good shape.

He remembered that he coughed and wheezed for a long time before going to court that day.

However, no one in this cold palace cared about him.

Therefore, he could only endure his physical discomfort and was coerced by Lao Zongyuan to appear in Chongzheng Hall.

Many details from that time are now blurred.

He only remembered that he was sitting on the mattress.

Xixia envoys filed in. In the Chongzheng Hall, they talked about the Song Dynasty's breach of contracts and breach of contract. They dressed the party members as white lotus flowers and looked innocent.

Zhao Xu listened to this without reacting.

Because his heart was not in the court, he also knew that there was nothing he could do.

Until Zhao Xu heard something.

The party member who was standing in the court and eloquently criticized the Song Dynasty said something.

"Song Shenzong knew he was wrong!"

A party member stood in the court hall of the Song Dynasty, talking to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty about Xixia white lotus. Xixia had no fault, and the fault lay entirely with the Song Dynasty.

No one in the court could object.

As a result, the party members took advantage of the situation and got on the head of the Song Dynasty.

He actually uttered arrogant words - Shenzong of the Song Dynasty knew that he was wrong!

You know - Xixia is just a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

At least in name, who gave him the courage to call the late emperor by his temple name, or at least add his honorary title, right? !

He dared to say to the Lord of Liao in Shangjing: How can Liao rejuvenate its clan?

Secondly, who gave him the courage to declare in the palace that Song Shenzong knew he was wrong?

Zhao Xu remembered it very clearly.

At that time, he was shaking with anger and immediately stood up, furious.

He pointed at the party man.

The spring appointment official named Youluoyu, his face turned red and he was furious.

But the civil servants in the palace just knelt down.

Since ancient times, the Lord has humiliated his subjects and died.

The party members insulted and slandered their king and father in public.

They just kneeled down.

The Empress Dowager in the curtain did not say a word.

None of the military officials in the palace stood up to support Zhao Xu.

Finally, in silence, in deathly stillness.

Zhang Mao, who was beside the Queen Mother, walked up to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu remembered clearly that at that time Zhang Mao said to him in a very gentle manner: "The officials should calm down!"

Then he pursed his lips and said to Chen Yan, the chamberlain's provincial guard who was beside Zhao Xu: "Let's talk to the guard!"

Chen Yan then led his men and forcibly took Zhao Xu away from Chongzheng Hall.

It was also because of this incident that later, when Zhao Xu became so seriously ill, Chen Yan and Zhang Mao Ze were indifferent and watched helplessly.

Until Cheng Yi found out, he pierced the basket at the Sutra Banquet and pierced it in the court hall.

He used his own political future to buy medicine for Zhao Xu.

It was these things that made Zhao Xu understand.

As long as the Empress Dowager lives, he will never get ahead. Since then, he has become more reserved, quieter, and less talkative.

Afterwards, whether Cai Que was demoted to death or Deng Wan was demoted to death, he remained silent.

He didn't say a word or comment on what the Queen Mother had chosen for him to do on the wedding day.

Until the Empress Dowager went to heaven!

Until, Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren succumbed to his pressure and recalled Deng Runfu and Li Qingchen.

Until Liang Congzheng and Liang Weijian rebelled in the court, Liu Weijian and Song Yongchen returned to him.

He finally has enough power!

Therefore, first with the help of Liu Weijian and Song Yongchen, and also with the help of Liang Congzheng and Liang Weijian, the purge of the inner court was completed!

That night, the ministers of the Imperial City Department who belonged to the Empress Dowager were arrested one by one by the heavily armed marriage officer, Yu Longzhi.

That night, there were cries of wolves and howls of ghosts in countless government offices in the city.

When the light of dawn appeared in the sky, the shuffling of the cards in the forbidden area had been completed.

In one day, six high-ranking ministers who had entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were sent to jail.

Also in one day, six great Diao Dang from the Xi and Feng eras regained control of the Imperial City Division.

Recalling these past events, Zhao Xu smiled and looked at the credentials in front of him.

He now has enough confidence and confidence to face this nightmare that was his last life.

Because, now, Zhang Maoze has been promoted by Zhang Shiliang under the supervision of Liang Congzheng!

As for Chen Yan?

This minister who came from Zhao Xu's dearest uncle, I heard that he had been killed with a stick in Qinxian's house a long time ago, and his whole buttocks was rotten when he died.

And in this palace that once made Zhao Xu feel cold.

There is warmth everywhere now, and everyone in the Imperial City Division is good.

Da Nei's relatives and officials, Yulong's officials, all loyal to Zhao Xu in various ways.

Zhao Xu could also call out the name of every commander on Yulong's left and right.

He also recognized every personal officer and personal subordinate officer of the Imperial City Division.

The commander-in-chief of the Sanya Palace, Yanda, was originally one of his people.

Deputy Commander Miao Professor is now his.

Guanjun Liu Changzuo, a loyal minister of the late emperor, would definitely follow him.

To put it bluntly, as long as Zhao Xu wants to.

Tomorrow morning, news will come out in the palace - the Empress Dowager is ill and cannot stay in the palace to oversee government affairs. The Empress Dowager temporarily takes full power.

Then, within a few days, the Song Dynasty was about to experience another national mourning.

But Zhao Xu would not do such a thing.

For Zhao Xu now, the check and balance between the two palaces is the optimal solution.

Zhao Xu didn't want to ruin the hard-won relationship between mother and son, and he didn't want to leave a bad reputation in the history books.

His study abroad career in modern times has taught him that one should never test human nature.

Because human nature is so strange and unpredictable.

What's more...

Gao, there is still value for use!

There are some things that Zhao Xu cannot do.

It would be good for the Gao family to do it.

It is best to let the sky be angry and make people complain, to make the sea boil, but I am innocent.

……

He casually flipped through the credentials of the party members.

Zhao Xu sighed again: "There are indeed many good people in this world!"

Take a look!

Even the Dangxiang people have learned the righteousness of the saint's benevolence and generosity.

In the credential, he began to talk a lot about the friendship between the Song Dynasty and Xixia - although this thing has never existed.

But it didn't hinder it at all. The Dangxiang people shamelessly boasted about their loyalty to the Song Dynasty, and said that everything in the past was all misunderstandings, and someone (Beilu) was sowing discord.

In fact, our loyalty to the officials and the Song Dynasty can be expressed by the sun and the moon.

Of course, our loyalty also requires money.

Therefore, I beg the Song Dynasty to give me a little money to spend.

At the same time, I beg the Song Dynasty to open more business opportunities so that we can have the opportunity to make a little bit of money.

That stinky beggar came to Bianjing to beg again!

Zhao Xu knew very well that Qingshou Palace and Baoci Palace were probably thinking so at this time.

And based on the temperament of Qingshou Palace and Baoci Palace, Zhao Xu knew that they would most likely agree to the party member's request.

Isn't it just a little money?

Judging from Zhao Xu's understanding of the nature of Dangxiang people.

Usually, when party members have such a low profile.

There are only two possibilities.

First: They encountered unprecedented pressure from the Liao Kingdom, so they wanted to ease their relationship with the Song Dynasty.

But this is impossible!

Because, if the Liao Kingdom wants to adopt any major strategy against the party people.

Then, with the character of the Liao people, they would definitely test the Song Dynasty's reaction.

What's more, the relationship between Song and Liao is becoming increasingly close.

If the Liao people really want to take action, they will definitely coordinate the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and even agree to divide Xixia between the two countries.

But the Liao people did not do this.

Instead, I just kept buying, buying, buying.

Then there is only the second possibility left - they plan to make a one-shot deal!

This is the prelude to the war!

If you can lie, you can lie, if you can coax, you can coax.

If you cheat, you will earn!

Then think about the news and intelligence coming back from Xihe.

Zhao Xu licked his tongue: "This party member doesn't respect martial ethics!"

"You're actually trying to trick a ten-year-old like me into sneak attacks!"

"It seems that I have to practice the five lightning whips!"

After saying that, he stood up and called Shi Deyi, who had been waiting outside, in.

"Shi Deyi, where is the Liao envoy now?"

Shi Deyi said respectfully: "To inform you all, I learned from the Privy Council yesterday that Liao envoy Yeluju and others have arrived at Daming Mansion and are waiting for permission from the court..."

"The envoy of the Embassy, ​​Hanlin scholar Xing Shu, has been ordered to Baima County to wait."

Zhao Xu nodded.

Xingshu was now the de facto official envoy of the Song Dynasty.

Mainly because he is so popular!

The nobles and nobles inside and outside Bianjing, and even the families of many prime ministers, unanimously agreed that only a bachelor of punishment could deal with the wolves and tigers of the Northern prisoners.

Therefore, although Xing Shu repeatedly stated that I was tired of serving as an envoy, I firmly declined.

But both the government and the opposition have said it is better to ask the bachelor to work harder.

Without Xingshu's matchmaking, the big guy's business wouldn't be so easy!

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and then told Shi Deyi: "You all know how to go and bring a message to Xing Shu for me."

Shi Deyi immediately lowered his head.

Zhao Xu leaned into his ear and whispered something.

Shi Deyi was startled at first and then bowed and said: "No! I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

After sending Shi Deyi away, Zhao Xu's expression became cold.

The nightmare from his previous life lingered in his heart.

When he was studying abroad in modern times, he heard a saying - the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on!

However, Zhao Xu knew that there was another way.

That is to turn the fear you once had into the nightmare of those who created it.

Just like now, since Zhang Maoze, Chen Yan and others were all dead, Zhao Xu slept soundly, ate well every day, and never had nightmares again.

Then kill Yuluoyu.

Zhao Xu believes that his sleep quality will definitely be better.

So, how to kill him?

Kill him in Bianjing?

No, no!

Let the party members kill him, only then can the nightmare be truly transferred away!

Just like, he let Zhang Maoze die at the hands of Zhang Shiliang and Lao Zongyuan.

It's also like he let Chen Yan die in that 'dear' uncle's house.
