Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 104 Confirmation of the list of left and right prime ministers

It has become a common practice to keep the old officials from the previous dynasty and wait until after the new division, and then depose the previous officials. Almost all the new emperors overdo their rights in this way.

Zhao Huan also studied a lot, and he still has some understanding of it.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Shen Cong, remove Li Bangyan's shackles. From today onwards, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he can only live in Bianjing City and listen to the instructions at any time."

The reasons for killing him are very good, and the reasons for not killing him are also very good.

Li Gang was almost assassinated today. If Li Gang died, where would I find a replacement in such a hurry?
During the time when Shen Cong was injured, Cheng Chu could take over, because the previous commander had no heavy burden and was only responsible for the palace.
But the prime minister, especially Shangshu Zuocheng, is not as simple as the previous commander, the palace guards.

I would rather leave the Shangshu empty than left and right. I would rather approve so many papers a day than just accept it casually.

Keep this old man, in case something happens to Li Gang, and he catches himself blind.

Waiting for the war to settle down, naturally everything is easy to talk about.If you win, you will rule the court arbitrarily, if you lose, you will have nothing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The guilty ministers will be grateful and make a grass ring, and they will never forget it until they die." Li Bangyan cried bitterly in the Wende Hall.

He felt that his worst outcome would be beheading, and the best outcome would be exile in Wuzhou.

As a result, there was no exile, only relegation to common people.

This result really exceeded my expectations.

Xindi is more benevolent than imagined.

"I didn't kill you today because I didn't want to kill you. Stealing the country for selfishness should be punished. It was your talents that saved you. I hope you can put your talents to the right place in the future. Go down first."

Zhao Huan looked upset at Li Bangyan and asked him to leave his sight.

Li Bangyan thanked him again, bent down, walked out of the gate of Wende Palace, and walked out of the gate of the imperial city. In front of Xuande Building, on the arch bridge outside the moat, he patted the dust on his body and knelt down slowly.

He kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, knelt for a while, and left the palace tremblingly.

The old butler of the prime minister's mansion had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing Li Bangyan walk out of the imperial city intact, his eyes were full of surprises. Bang Yan.

The two slowly left the imperial city, and Li Bangyan said with emotion: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your benevolence."

But the old housekeeper looked around and found no conspicuous figures, and asked: "Master, the chariots and horses are ready, let's go south now? Or wait until the new emperor's personal conquest?"

"Nonsense! Your Majesty ordered me not to go out of the city. I live in Bianjing, so I live in Bianjing! Going south?" Li Bangyan also looked around, and continued in a low voice: "Looking at what the new emperor has done, the Supreme Emperor will undoubtedly lose In less than three years, it will be cleaned up by the new emperor."

"What are we going to do? Going to the Supreme Emperor now is as absurd as going to Yelu Yanxi when Jin Bing broke into Linhuang Mansion in Beijing. You go, you go. I won't go." Li Bangyan said in a low voice.

This new emperor's benevolence and righteousness will be enough once, so expect him to be benevolent and righteous a second time?

He decided to stay in Bianjing City honestly, as long as he didn't make a fuss, his life would be saved.

This involves the rules of the Great Song Dynasty. How can it be so easy to be a prime minister?If something goes wrong and the prime minister is killed, who will be the prime minister?

The prime minister who is in charge of Shangshu Province and the government affairs of the entire country, sometimes, for the greater benefit, makes some decisions, and will definitely make mistakes. If the prime minister is killed casually, no one will be willing to be an extreme minister.

In other words, most of the time, the position of the prime minister is blamed on the emperor, exile is nothing more than that, if he is cut off directly, who will blame you?
"Go home and write a book. I have been Zuo Cheng for more than ten years anyway, and it is more than enough to write a book on how to be a prime minister."

"The book is completed and dedicated to His Majesty. If you can't, you can still get an official position. If you are taken again, go to the Supreme Emperor, that is, the old birthday star will hang himself. It will be a long life. If you don't go, you won't go even if you are killed." Li Bangyan after the robbery The joy of the rest of my life has not dissipated, and I have mixed feelings in my heart.

But he knew an established fact, that is, if he didn't show that he was very talented, the new emperor would not spare him.

If you stay mediocre, you will have no capital to make a comeback.

And what can he do?
Contribute your talents to the emperor.

As for the emperor Zhao Ji, who is mediocre and only knows himself to be corrupt and enjoy himself, it's fine not to go.

Li Gang watched Zhao Huan spare Li Bangyan, but he didn't express his opinion, and he didn't know whether his Zuo Cheng was right for the first time and whether he passed the test.

He didn't dare to ask.

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "Li Shaoqing, that's the deal with acting Shangshu Zuo Cheng."

Li Gang let go of a big stone in his heart. Although his answer was not perfect, it was considered a pass.

Zhao Huan continued: "The affairs of the Military Weapons Supervisor can be left to Wang Chongyang and the Shaochengs for the time being."

Li Gang nodded, this is cutting his authority, Zuo Cheng's position is big enough.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War and the position of the military inspector and the junior supervisor, I have done it all.

He felt sorry for this position. In fact, in terms of facts, he still liked the military inspector the most.Tossing those ironware and accessories is more fun than being an official.

But now is not the time to talk about conditions, wait until there is a suitable person in the future, and then hand over the position of prime minister.

After what happened today, he also discovered that he is not suitable to be a prime minister.

There are too many things to consider in this position.Where are there ironware and rod wheels to play with to make yourself comfortable?

This prime minister will resign when he can resign in the future.

He still felt in his heart that he was a craftsman, not a prime minister.

Zhao Huan said as needed: "For the time being, you will take on the errands of the Four Wall Guards. You can also leave military affairs to Yao Pingzhong."

"If you don't understand anything about government affairs, you can also ask the old man Li Bangyan who went out just now! Although this guy is not a thing, he is still a national thief, but he really has a lot of things in his stomach."

"But don't do everything yourself, and be careful not to tire yourself out."

Li Gang bent down and said: "I would like to follow the teachings of the officials."

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, sighed and said: "If you are like Li Bangyan, you have been the prime minister for ten years, and you must be more sensible than what he said. Don't be discouraged, this old man is only worth so little."

The grasshopper after autumn will not be able to jump for a few days.

When I free up my hands, I have passed the official examination, and if there is someone, if this Li Bangyan has nothing to do, he will be cut off.

As he said to Li Bangyan, he kept this guy just for the goods in his stomach.

"I'll bring up Sun Bo to be your right-hand man. Let's discuss anything." Zhao Huan thought for a while and said.

checks and balances.

Li Gang thought of this word in an instant, Wu Min had been dead for a month, and this You Cheng finally had it.

Zhao Huan left a lot of traitors behind, but he had no choice but to use the lives of these people to exchange the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister with the old military leaders in Bianjing and the scholar-bureaucrats in the court.

At the very least, you must ensure that the court is safe and sound when your own royal conquest is in person.

Don't delay the plan to drive out the Tartars!A temporary expedient.

Isn't that what politics is all about?Compromise and helplessness coexist.

It's just that Zhao Huan always felt that he had forgotten something, which made him a little uneasy, but there were too many things, and he quickly put his doubts behind him.
