Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The Northern Song Dynasty was a magical dynasty, and the house price in Tokyo City fluctuated above 5000 guan (about 250 million yuan).

A slightly better location is more than 500 Guan (about [-] million yuan).

Many officials, even high-ranking officials, could not afford houses, and Su Shi had been a renter for most of his life.

Later, during the reign of Shenzong, even the emperor couldn't stand it, and some prime ministers actually rented houses, which made the country lose face.

Therefore, a group of luxurious mansions were built in the Zuoyemen area, specially for officials at the prime minister level to live in.

Of course, due to the frequent change of prime ministers in the Song Dynasty, the owners of this area also changed frequently.

He Li, the No. [-] scholar in the fifth year of Zhenghe.

By the way, there was another historical celebrity, Qin Hui, who took the exam in the same year as him.

Qin Hui was the Jinshi of that year, not the number one scholar, He Li was the number one scholar.

He Li's position at this time is Shangshu Youpushe and Zhongshu Shilang.

Shangshu Youpushe (ye) is equivalent to the deputy prime minister of the Zhengshitang, the second in command, if Shangshu Zuopushe is not appointed, then he is the top in command, a veritable prime minister, and Shen Zhishi is the deputy prime minister.

At this time, Qin Hui was still serving as Yushi Zhongcheng at Yushitai.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that was extremely fancy about test scores.

He Li, what should I say?

It's useless in the right place, he has no ability to be a prime minister.

From an objective point of view, Qin Hui's ability is much stronger than him, but Qin Hui doesn't even have the basic integrity.

Why is it said that He Li is not suitable to be a prime minister?

He and Sun Fu found Guo Jing together!

Jingkang's court situation is very complicated, and there are two main factions in the court.

One faction is the main war faction, and the other is the main peace faction.

The Zhuhe faction has not changed, the group of Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang, and Mo Yu.

But the main combat faction has been changing. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the main combat faction has almost changed a group of people.

The main fighters at the beginning of the year were truly capable people like Li Gang and Zhong Shidao.

But at the end of the year, Li Gang resigned, Zhong Shidao died of illness, and the main fighters became idiots like He Li and Sun Fu.

Fortunately, there are people like Zhang Shuye who have really fought tough battles in the main combat faction in the city.

At this time, Xu Bingzhe, the governor of Kaifeng, who came to He Li's mansion, acted in a hurry and was very anxious.

Xu Bingzhe was really an extremely shameless person in history. When the Jin army entered the city, he was the first to help the Jin army collect beauties, gold and silver in the city. He was a standard traitor.

Xu Bingzhe's tone was terrified: "He Xianggong, it's not good! It's not good!"

He Li picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it: "What's the fuss?"

"Fu Sun was arrested! Guo Jing was executed!"

He Li shook his hand, then suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically: "What did you say!"

"Sun Fu was arrested, and Guo Daxian was executed! What should we do!"

"Who did it!"

As soon as He Li asked this question, he realized that he had asked too much.

Sun Fu was the privy secretary and guardian envoy of Tongzhi, and Guo Jing was the commander in chief who he recommended to the emperor to defend against the enemy.

Besides the emperor, who else would dare to execute Guo Jing?

But this is not in line with common sense!

Why did the emperor execute Guo Jing?

Wasn't it fine before?

Could it be that the peace faction blew wind in the emperor's ears again, and the emperor changed his mind?

Xu Bingzhe said: "It's the official family. The official family went to the city gate in the evening. After going there, they executed Guo Daxian and arrested Sun Fu. Sun Fu is now in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"It's broken! It's broken!" He Li hurriedly put down his teacup, stood up, and said to the servants, "Change, change quickly."

"Where is Mr. He going?"

"Enter the palace to face the saint!" The emperor suddenly arrested Sun Fu and killed Guo Jing.

Is He Li a staunch fighter?

Not really.

The main battle is his political opinion, for the sake of superiority, nothing more.

How could he have any specific tactics for the main battle?

Now that the situation has changed suddenly, what he smelled first was the smell of political struggle, instead of reflecting on his own behavior,

He thought it must be Geng Nanzhong's group who said something in front of the emperor again.

Putting on his official robe, He Li went out and hurried to the palace.

The Zuoye Gate was not far from the palace gate, and when he went to the palace gate to ask to enter the palace to meet the saint, he was told that the official family had rested and no one was there.

In the end, He Li used some contacts and met Wang Huaiji. Wang Huaiji told him: "Mr. He, the officials are really resting. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Is there an early morning tomorrow?"

"Yes, there will be morning court tomorrow, and I'm about to send someone to notify the officials of the various ministries."

He Li left helplessly.

At this time, the news that Sun Fu was arrested and Guo Jing was executed had already spread in Tokyo.

Especially in official circles.

In the Tokyo city at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, various factions struggled complicatedly, monitoring each other, collecting intelligence, and listening to the wind often happened.

This is the legacy of party struggles during Wang Anshi's reform era. The New Deal faction and the conservative faction each held up their banners to safeguard their own interests, making the political atmosphere a mess.

At this time, the main peace faction immediately sensed the political trend from Guo Jing's murder.

A month ago, Tang Ke, the leader of the Zhuhe faction, was dismissed, the emperor's teacher Geng Nanzhong also stepped down, and the prodigal prime minister Li Bangyan was exiled to Mingdao Palace in Bozhou.

The main peace faction was temporarily suppressed, and the main combat faction came to power.

But everyone knows that the Zhao official family is not a staunch advocate for the war, and the reason for the main battle is a temporary helpless move. The official family has been vacillating between the main battle and the main peace.

Suddenly arrested the backbone of the main combat faction and killed Guo Jing, which shows that the officials may want to make peace!

Chapter 9

In the snowy night, a person was knocking on the rich door in front of him.

Not long after, the person inside said: "It's so late, who is it?"

"It's me, Wang Shiyong!"

The door was opened, and Wang Shiyong walked in quickly.

"Tang Xianggong, Tang Xianggong! Something big happened! Something big happened!"

Tang Ke was reading in the study, and the people below said that Wang Shiyong came to him for something urgent.

Tang Ke put on his clothes and went out.

Although he was dismissed from the position of prime minister, Tang Ke's official position is still there (the position and official position in the Song Dynasty were separated), and his connections and prestige are still there.

"It's Bolai, why are you looking for me so late?"

"Mr. Tang, something serious happened. Guo Jing was executed, and Sun Fu was thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

Tang Ke's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but said, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true, it was the officials who personally went to the tower to execute Guo Jing and personally ordered Sun Fu to be arrested!"

Tang Ke frowned and began to think.

"Mr. Tang, Guo Jing was recommended by He Li and Sun Fu. By killing Guo Jing, the officials have denied He Li and Sun Fu."

"what do you mean?"

"The lower official thinks that the officials may want to negotiate a peace. There are not a few people in the court who want to negotiate a peace. The Jin army has been besieging the city for a while. There is no way to retreat the enemy. The only way is to negotiate a peace. The next step is probably..."

Having said that, Wang Shiyong paused for a moment.

"You go on talking."

"In the next step, the government may raise funds in the city, start peace talks with the Jin army again, and give the Jin people a sum of money. This matter obviously needs someone to coordinate and handle it."

Having said that, Wang Shiyong glanced at Tang Ke.

He continued: "Before the next official came, I received news that the court will be called early tomorrow."

"Morning morning tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"It seems that the officials are going to change again." Tang Ke's eyes lit up with hope.

Twenty-five days ago, Tang Ke was still the young master. He Li, who was still the governor of Kaifeng at that time, threatened to lead the battle.

He thought that He Li had something to say, that he could unite the hearts of the people like Li Gang did at the beginning of the year, and defend the city against the enemy together, but this girl found a magic stick.

Even Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong of the Zhuhe faction couldn't stand it anymore.

Tang Ke's political idea was to discuss peace, and then moved the capital to Chang'an.

You can't say that Tang Ke's peacemakers are shameless, after all, the difference in force between Song and Jin is really not 01:30.

Tang Ke is still very qualified to be an official in history. Whether it was local governance when he was young, or the Yellow River disaster relief later, he was very responsible.

Definitely a good official who loves the people.

But this person is really not suitable to be a minister in the center, or not suitable to get involved in the military, and he is so mad at him that he is a teacher.

"Tang Xianggong, everyone expects you to come out and preside over the overall situation!"

Tang Ke said: "Tomorrow morning, you all wait and see what happens. If He Li is dismissed, then..."

Having said that, Tang Ke stopped.

"Your Majesty knows what to say."

The snow is falling slowly, covering the bustling capital city.

Zhao Ning's sudden arrival broke the original pattern, and all forces were ready to move.

Holding Zhu Lian in his arms, Zhao Ning spent his first night at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty with peace of mind.

He knew that the next situation would be extremely difficult, so he had to ensure the minimum amount of sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ning changed into a dragon robe.

The Song Dynasty belonged to Huode, also known as Yansong, so the dragon robes of the Song Dynasty were red.

Of course, in ancient times, "red" was not used to describe it, and it was called crimson.

The dragon robe is a crimson gauze robe.

In order to reflect majesty and hierarchy, there are black borders, with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns on it.

After Zhao Ning finished changing, he strode towards the Chui Gong Hall.

The original owner Zhao Huan's body was very weak, Zhao Ning thought in his heart, how could this body carry great responsibilities in the future?

There will be more exercise in the future!

At this time, it was three o'clock in the fifth watch (at 04:30), before dawn, and the early court regulations of the Song Dynasty were held at this time.

Although Zhao Ning is a person of the 21st century, he has never had the habit of sleeping late since he was a child, so he doesn't mind it.

After entering the Chuigong Hall, the officials were already waiting outside the hall.

Zhao Ning also had a preliminary idea in his mind, mainly in two points:

[-]. Declare to everyone that you are determined to take the lead in the war, and suppress the main peace faction first, so as not to prevent the main peace faction from making trouble in the future.

Second, raise money.
