Zhao Yun, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, looked calm and could not see any difference. After the ministers shouted long live and listed them one by one, he glanced at Dong Songchen who was standing in front of him. Dong Songchen, who had been waiting for the emperor's instructions, hurriedly stepped out and took out a roll of golden silk from his sleeve.

The ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony saw the roll of golden silk in Dong Songchen's hand and all looked solemn. Everyone knew that the incident that had been tormenting everyone for several days seemed to finally have a result today.

As the absolute protagonist, the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian also made an exception today and "dragged his sick body" to attend the court meeting. He was the last one to arrive, as if this was the tacit understanding between him and Zhao Yun. As soon as Qiao Xingjian entered the hall, Zhao Yun appeared immediately, so that the ministers, especially the ministers under Qiao Xingjian's disciples, had no chance to speak to the left Prime Minister, who seemed to be about to leave.

These days, Qiao Xingjian has not left her sick and has never seen guests. Even the students under her sect were rejected for their visit. This also increased the fear in the hearts of the ministers under Qiao Xingjian, but there was no way.

As soon as the court meeting began, Zhao Yun said anything, Dong Songchen directly gave up the imperial edict. Most of the court officials in the court couldn't help but focus their eyes on Qiao Xingjian.

Unfortunately, Qiao Xingjian always lowered his eyebrows and eyes, with a respectful look on his face, and he looked neither sad nor happy, and he could not see any abnormality at all.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian Shoupeng, the third year of Duanping (1236) inherited the sage's intention to rule..." Next was a long list of things Qiao Xingjian did in the ruling position over the years. Whether it was a contribution or a failure before, everything that appeared in the imperial edict at this moment was praised after being whitewashed.

There was a silence in the hall, and only Dong Songchen, with some sharp and feminine voices, was heard slowly.

"... The emperor is kind and kind, and he is kind and considers his ministers' heart. He is allowed to retire from the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian Shou Penggong..."

After hundreds of words, even though he had been mentally prepared, he was shocked when he heard the words in the imperial edict that all the things were settled. All the complex and difficult-to-understand eyes gathered on Qiao Xingjian, who was still like an old monk entering into meditation.

"By Qiao Xing, Jian Shou Peng, and the title of Young Master, Yi Guo Duke..." After reading this, Dong Songchen suddenly had a moment of stagnation, and it seemed that even he was shocked by the content behind him.

"…Yu Tianxichun's father is the left prime minister and privy envoy..."

"Wow!"

The officials in the palace who were shocked by Zhao Yun's title after Qiao Xingjian's retirement were all uproar when they heard this. Even Qiao Xingjian, Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Songzhi, Li Zongmian, Li Mingfu, Yuan Fu and others who had always been alive were stunned when they heard that the emperor had promoted Yu Tianxi, who had already left, to the left prime minister and Privy Councilor.

After this short daze, the expressions on each person's faces are naturally different.

Qiao Xingjian's face was dark, and he felt like he had been aged more than ten years old, and he no longer had the same vein as before. Zheng Qingzhi had a complicated expression, and was also very grateful and bitter. Li Zongmian, Li Mingfu and Yuan Fu had a very straightforward expression.

Among these people, Shi Songzhi's expression was the calmest, and even a little excited. Shi Songzhi had already lost his thoughts about the left prime minister when he was promoted to the right prime minister. In the history of the Song Dynasty, there was never any incident where the right prime minister was promoted to the left prime minister. He never thought that Zhao Yun would break these rules that had long been agreed upon in the Song Dynasty.

Qiao Xingjian resigned, and only Li Zongmian, Li Mingfu, Yu Tianxi and him were able to take up the position. He had automatically withdrawn, so the left prime minister could only choose among these three people.

Originally, Shi Songzhi thought that the candidate for the Left Prime Minister could only appear between Li Zongmian and Li Mingfu, and even most people in the government and the country thought so.

It would be better if Li Zongmian took over as the Left Prime Minister. Strictly speaking, Qiao Xingjian, who recommended Li Zongmian at the time, not only wanted to give Li Zongmian a fame, but also valued Li Zongmian as a centrist and had no obvious tendency. It was precisely because Li Zongmian had enough qualifications. This is the main reason why Qiao Xingjian recommended Li Zongmian to Zhao Yun as an assistant to political affairs.

If such a person who has no political tendency becomes the Left Prime Minister, it will not only be easier for Zhao Yun to accept it, but the rest, such as Shi Songzhi, Yuan Fu and others, will not rebound too much. Although the court officials did not have much interruption in the matter of Left Prime Minister, despite this, in determining the candidate for Left Prime Minister, Zhao Yun, as the emperor, still needs to comprehensively consider the reactions of all parties in the court.

Li Zongmian could still accept the succession of the left prime minister Shi Songzhi, but if Li Mingfu took over, then with Li Mingfu's vindictive character and the hatred he had made with Jia Sidao, he would probably be in peace in the court. Li Mingfu's power naturally cannot be compared with Qiao Xingjian, but once he becomes the left prime minister, there must be many people in the court who are willing to praise him.

Li Mingfu may not be able to do the big trouble for the time being, but it is still easy to disgust Shi Songzhi and Jia Sidao in some small matters.

Now that Yu Tianxi, who has left with a title, suddenly took over as the left prime minister, was really a great surprise for Shi Songzhi. At this moment, Shi Songzhi felt deeply what a correct decision to choose to form an alliance with Jia Sidao.

Obviously, when Zhao Yun was considering the candidate for the Left Prime Minister, he finally chose the person who leaned towards Jia Sidao. Apart from Jia Sidao, Shi Songzhi did not think that anyone in the Shi family could have a share to sit in that position again due to the complex mood that Zhao Yun was suspicious and had to use.

At the same time, many people saw some clues from Zhao Yun's addition of Qiao Xingjian. That is, Qiao Xingjian has indeed offended Zhao Yun a lot. Although he disgusted Jia Sidao, he lost more to Zhao Yun.

People who retreated from the position of the Left Prime Minister, especially those who retreated voluntarily, could it be so little? Since the Guangzong Dynasty, after the Left Prime Minister retired, in addition to a series of false titles, it has become a common practice to "Pingzhang Military and National Affairs" which is much more important than the Left Prime Minister. However, Zhao Yun did not add Qiao Xingjian to Qiao Xingjian. I think this is the main reason why Qiao Xingjian, who was originally a god, suddenly lost his parents after hearing the imperial edict.

The imperial edict of Dong Songchen had been chanting the tea for a long time before it came to an end. After the ministers shouted long live again, the Palace of Supreme Harmony fell into strange silence.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Yun, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, finally coughed impatiently, which made Dong Songchen shudder.

"My ministers and officials have something to do and report... and retreat to the court without any trouble!"

"Report!"

"Report!"

At this moment, starting from the distant south gate of the imperial city, a series of imperial guards with great roars, from Yonghe Gate to the Taihe Hall.

Hearing the lingering sound of "report!", the emperor and ministers in the Taihe Hall were stunned. The report that could be sent to the Taihe Hall during the court meeting was only eight hundred miles of urgent reports.

Could it be that something happened again?
