The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 480 Promotion
In the early summer, the capital city is extremely hot, with cicadas singing and noisy, and a rain is coming.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Guangyi was listening to the prison report of the Ministry of Criminal Justice about the massacre in Huayang Village.

"My lord, we asked everyone in the rebel army, and they all said that they had never been ordered to massacre people in Huayang Village. I thought they were trying to hide it. After all, massacring villagers is a serious crime, and they dare not admit it."

Zhao Guangyi frowned slightly after hearing this. There are many rebels. I just asked them to tell me if they had heard of the order to massacre the villagers, and they didn't say that they did the massacre. Why didn't they dare to admit it?

Things are weird, Zhao Guangyi believes in the words of those rebels even more.

"Since they said they didn't receive the order, it's someone else, and you can investigate."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guangyi said again: "If you can't find out through the investigation, you can hand it over to Detective Shen to investigate."

There was a hint of threat in this sentence, and the official of the Ministry of Punishment repeatedly said yes after hearing this sentence.

And just after the officials of the Ministry of Punishment left, Zhao Guangyi suddenly clapped his hands, and then there was an extra spy in the imperial study room.

"Go and investigate the people who appeared in Liuwei's siege to assist the siege, they are too suspicious."

In Zhao Guangyi's view, it is really strange that a village near the capital was massacred, and when Liu Wei attacked the city, there were common people in it to cater to them in a timely manner. Power exists.

After the spies took orders, they reported another piece of news to Zhao Guangyi.

"My lord, when Xia He's body was whipped yesterday, Liu Wei went, and he said some humane words, so the body was not whipped too many times. Later, after the body was transported to the free wind post, Xia He's body was transported. He was buried in a nice place."

Hearing this news, Zhao Guangyi was slightly taken aback, and said, "Liu Wei actually developed sympathy for Xia He?"

"It should be. According to our investigation, Liu Wei has a concubine named Dong Yu, who is sister with Xia He, and they are both from the academy."

"Academy Academy?"

Zhao Guangyi was a little surprised. If Xia He came out of the academy, then when Murong Bo was still alive, he should have thought about expanding his ambitions. Otherwise, why would he have given Xia He to the Martial King Zhao Dezhao?
But obviously, although Murong Bo was very ambitious, his skills and luck were too poor. Before he could realize his ambition, he died in prison because he offended Liu Wei.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Guangyi's mouth, and at this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then it began to rain.

Xia Yu came madly and urgently, the windows of the imperial study cracked, and Zhao Guangyi set off a memorial, which was written by Zhou Qi, the imperial historian. The prime minister will do.

For the prime minister, Zhao Guangyi is very jealous, because the prime minister has too much power, and many times his orders can only be issued after the review of these prime ministers, so he doesn't really want this prime minister.

But this system has existed for too many years, and he didn't withdraw it when he wanted to, and he knew very well that the prime minister was to help him, the emperor, handle things. If there was no prime minister, he would have to do everything by himself. How tiring is that?

He, Zhao Guangyi, is not a lazy monarch, but it is too scary for him to do everything by himself. He also wants to reserve some time for himself to hang out with women.

"It seems that it is indeed time to elect a new prime minister."
-
The matter of choosing a prime minister was quickly put on the agenda.

According to the rules, there are two people who are eligible to run for prime minister, one is Shen Yilun and the other is Liu Wei.

Relatively speaking, although Liu Wei has a wide reputation and great ability, his qualifications are not as high as Shen Yilun's. Therefore, relatively speaking, Shen Yilun has great hope of becoming the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and Shen Yilun has been this prime minister before. It can be said that he is familiar with the road when he comes to be the prime minister.

It's just that Liu Wei contributed a lot to uncovering the rebellion of King Wu Zhao Dezhao this time, and in this matter, Zhao Pu is very dirty, Shen Yilun and Zhao Pu are closely related, and it will inevitably be affected, so Liu Wei's voice is also very high.

This morning, when Zhao Guangyi told the story, the ministers of the court began to discuss who these two people should be prime ministers.

Whoever you support depends entirely on your personal preferences and interests, so there is a lot of trouble, and when everyone is making trouble like this, His Highness Liu Wei is very calm, calm and calm.

It's just that behind this calmness, there are full of doubts.

It is not surprising to choose a prime minister. What is strange is that Zhao Guangyi did not discuss with him and Shen Yilun for such a big matter. This is a bit strange. The prime minister has a lot of authority. They all have this qualification, but they should reveal something before, right?

Unless, Zhao Guangyi had no intention of letting the two of them be prime ministers at all.

Sure enough, when everyone was discussing, Zhao Guangyi suddenly said: "Shen Aiqing and Liu Aiqing are both suitable candidates for the prime ministers of my Song Dynasty, and no matter who is the prime minister, I believe that they can build my entire Song Dynasty." It's very good, but no matter who they are, they are a bit inappropriate, Shen Aiqing is not as capable as Liu Aiqing, and Liu Aiqing is slightly younger, I recommend someone, what do you think?"

As Zhao Guangyi said, he glanced at the ministers of His Royal Highness, and seeing their puzzled faces, he finally showed a slight smile, and then continued: "Zhao Defang, the son of the late emperor, was loyal to the country, and he was very heroic in the previous rebellion. I want him to be prime minister, what do you guys think?"

As soon as this remark came out, both the ministers of the court and the mentioned Zhao Defang were shocked. Why did Zhao Defang suddenly become the prime minister?
Although everyone was surprised, after looking at each other, they couldn't come up with any reason to object.

First of all, Zhao Defang is the son of the first emperor, and his status is noble. Moreover, his performance in the previous rebellion is indeed remarkable. If he is made prime minister, no one can give reasons for rebuttal. As for the age issue, it is for people outside the royal family. Some people say that for members of the royal family, no matter what position they hold, age does not matter.

Everyone didn't object, but people like Pan Mei who liked to cater to her quickly stood up and expressed their approval. In this way, the voices in the court were unanimous, and it was logical for Zhao Defang to become the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

It was only at this time that Zhao Defang suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. The post of Prime Minister is related to the stability and development of our Great Song Dynasty. My nephew is still inexperienced, and I am afraid that I cannot take on this important task."

After Zhao Defang stood up, the court officials looked at each other, not knowing what kind of tricks the uncle and nephew were playing.
