Su Chi walked into the Chuigong Hall with a dark face. The Chuigong Hall was the main hall where the Changsan Hall was held. After the restructuring of the Shenzong, it was stipulated that civil officials in Beijing would go from Tongzhilang to Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the military officials would go from Xiuwu to Taiwei to be promoted to the court. Among them, officials at the attendant and above (excluding the days when the six sects and the rituals were held) to visit the Chuigong Hall every day (excluding the days when the six sects and the rituals of the court) would go to the Zichen Hall to attend the meeting every five days, which was called the "Six sects" (six times a month); there was also a kind of Wangsong Dasen (the first day of the 1st and the fifteenth day), which was also held in the Zichen Hall, and all officials in the Beijing would attend the meeting.

However, after the Grand View, Zhao Ji gradually became lazy in his administration. The regular and six temples have not been held for many years. Only the first and second sessions will be held occasionally, not twice a month, but several times a year. It’s all.

So after the new king ascended the throne, he held regular attendance early every morning, which made Su Chi, who was aged and used to sleeping in, feel a little uncomfortable.

But no matter how unaccustomed I have to go out early in the morning and brave the spring cold to go to court to see you.

What is even more painful is that not only the court officials were not used to going out so early, but even the small merchants and vendors in Kaifeng Prefecture did not adjust. Early in the morning, there were not many people setting up breakfast stalls on both sides of the Imperial Street, which was known as the "Thousand-Board Gallery". During the diligent Shenzong and Zhezong, the breakfast meals in the Thousand-Board Gallery were dazzling and there were everything they wanted to eat.

But now, the court officials in Beijing can only collect some food at home in the morning and go to court. And it’s so early, it’s really hard!

However, what really made Su Chi feel depressed was not the hard work of going to the morning court, but the current stormy situation.

Su Chi knew very well that the Song Dynasty, who once made him feel extremely proud, used literature to control martial arts and ruled the world with scholars and officials, and his family law was better than the panic of previous dynasties. It no longer exists!

Although the Song Dynasty's signature is still there, the official who replaced the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and accepted the worship of the ministers on the imperial throne in the Chuigong Hall is still the surname Zhao, and is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, and the legal heir to the throne.

But the soul of the Song Dynasty and the spirit of the Song Dynasty no longer exist!

When Dazai Ji Yi was assassinated by the New Army warriors with a bed crossbow, when tens of thousands of New Army troops in Moutuogang were mobilized by a group of battalions and teams, they drove outside Wansheng Gate, the soul of the Song Dynasty was lost, and the spirit of the Song Dynasty no longer existed.

The Song Dynasty has now become a dynasty like the Tang Dynasty where courts are subject to vassal states and emperors are subject to martial arts.

Thinking of the new army's warrior, Su Chi sighed heavily. In fact, he had known that this group of people was difficult to control!

In the past, the Song Dynasty used literature to control martial arts and martial arts not only relied on the will of the officials, but also the crushing of martial arts by the elites of scholars in terms of knowledge and quality. The elites of the Song Dynasty were all learning literature, and the quality and knowledge of literati were of course higher than that of warriors.

This crushing in knowledge and quality has made the scribe elite monopolize the truth.

Right and wrong, good and bad, are all in the words of the Qingliu scribe!

However, when the empirical school and rational school emerged in knowledge and began to challenge traditional Confucianism with new learning, the monopoly of literati elites over truth was broken.

The rise of new martial arts, which belongs to the rational and empirical school, has given the new military officers of the Song Dynasty no less than that, and should be more knowledge than traditional Confucian elites...at least they themselves think so.

While he was aware of his knowledge, the new military officer who was knowledgeable no longer recognized the Qingliu scribe's control over public opinion and truth...

The retro party’s master of Zhou and “suppressing annexation and exchanging land” joined forces with this group of warriors who were dissatisfied with the elite of scholars and finally formed a force that could overturn the family rules of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty!

Although Ji Yi and Su Chi both realized the danger of the difficulty of new military officers in control and the retro party thoughts.

However, due to the existence of an aggressive military citizen country in the north, Ji Yi, Su Chi and Zhao Ji, who had already abdicated, did not dare to purify the new military officers and the retro party.

In fact, the so-called "reformist" behind Ji Yi is similar to the Retro Party. In some aspects, it is even more radical - behind the reformist are the industry and commerce in the Southeast Eighth Weekly, the rational university, and the officers of the Song Dynasty Navy.

In contrast, the retro party is actually more moderate, but they did not expect that they would use the new army officers to launch a coup...

Although the situation facing the Song Dynasty is indeed at a time when it has to make drastic changes.

But does the power seized by the new army mutiny really belong to Zhao Huan, the new official of the Retro Party and the Song Dynasty?

When Su Chi thought of this, the sound of a whip sounded and there was a movement behind the palace. First, two living sects walked out, and then a group of eunuchs in the yellow gate holding fans, swords and other ritual instruments. When the yellow gate stood at the position, the solemn ritual music suddenly sounded to welcome the emperor to appear.

Twenty-six-year-old Zhao Huan walked out slowly from the back of the palace, wearing a yellow robe and a flat-footed head, which was the wardrobe of the emperor. This freshly released official family was quite strong and rarely got sick, just like his father, the Supreme Emperor.

His brows were frowning, and there was no smile on his face, and he looked worried.

Of course the emperor wanted to do it, and he even dreamed of it. But the emperor in his dream was not as difficult as the real emperor!

In my dream, there were no "million-dollar East thieves" who crossed the river in the Zhengzhou River, nor did there be a new military man who dared to assassinate the Dazai on the street, nor did anyone give up the throne and run away, but had ulterior motives... Oh, there was also a younger brother who was entrenched in the East China Kingdom and was praised by the reformists as the "Sage King of the East China Sea".

The chair under his butt is simply a biting thing!

The regular attendance is more of a court meeting of etiquette. After the visit, Zhao Huan went directly to Chongzheng Hall to handle government affairs. It was different from the "lazy government" style in the middle and late period of his father Zhao Ji's rule. Zhao Huan, who had just come to power, was quite diligent and would not obey the discussions between the two governments, but had to personally manage government affairs. Therefore, his Chongzheng Hall was very hard to manage government affairs and often had to work until the afternoon to finish.

Today, the main content of Chongzheng Hall’s political discussions made Zhao Huan a little speechless.

The first thing to discuss today is the issue of holding a Ministry of Rites Examination!

This is really... Zhao Huan's brother-in-law Wu Yiyong has crossed the Yellow River and will soon reach Kaifeng Prefecture. The Song Dynasty court was still seriously discussing the imperial examination!

But when a group of students entered the examination room of the Biyong Academy, it was the Song Dynasty. After the exam, it became the Great Zhou Republic!

However, Zhao Huan did not dare to cancel this Ministry of Rites test. Didn’t the “February Coup” that overthrew his father from writing to the public?

Don't do it again... Although the throne under Zhao Huan's butt would bite people, he still couldn't bear to hand it over.

Pinching his nose with Cai You and Su Chi, the two weak prime ministers discussed the candidates for the tribute and the date of the Ministry of Rites. Zhao Huan asked about his father Zhao Ji again.

"Report to Your Majesty," the reply was Geng Nanzhong, the new head of the Privy Council. "The Emperor's carriage has arrived at Yingchang Mansion and will arrive at Xiangyang Mansion in another 10 days."

"Oh." Zhao Huan responded.

He asks Zhao Ji's whereabouts more than twice a day!

Because Zhao Ji was walking east or south, it was a matter of life and death!

If Zhao Ji went east to Xuzhou, he would be very likely to be restored and ascended the throne with the support of the rationalists, King Zhao Kai of Donghai, and the Song Bank.

By then, the Song Dynasty will be divided into two.

"The Supreme Emperor was in a hurry, and even the concubines and maids in the palace were too late to take them away." Zhao Huan said, "You can send Gao Yaofu and Zhou Yunqing to each bring a battalion of troops and horses to escort the concubines, maids, female officials, and some of the property in the palace to Xiangyang Prefecture."

Gao Yaofu and Zhou Yunqing are Zhao Ji's confidants. Zhao Huan dared not keep them by his side, nor did he dare to get rid of them - they all have soldiers in their hands! Moreover, Gao Yaofu is Gao Yaokang's younger brother in Lingzhou. If he kills him, will there be any change in Lingzhou?

Zhou Yunqing has served as the chief martial arts coach for many years and has a high prestige in the army. If he touched him, the new army in Moutuogang might be furious again.

Just find an excuse to let them go...

Zhao Huan also said: "Yue He has made contributions to protecting the emperor, so he asked him to serve as the position of Xiangyang Prefecture as a strategic appeasement envoy in the southwest route of Jingxi Road."

Yue He's official fortune is really beyond words. Now he has become a military governor, and his official position has become a pacifier... and he has never won a battle since he joined the army!

However, the prime ministers of the two prefectures had no objection, because Yue He protected Zhao Ji... As long as he sent Zhao Ji safely to Xiangyang instead of Xuzhou, he could be regarded as a military governor and a pacifier.

After arranging the matter for his father, Zhao Huan still has no time to take care of his brother-in-law Wu Yiyong because he has a baby brother Zhao Kai to deal with.

He shook his eyes at the leader of the Retro Party, He Li, who had just become the Chief Censor of the Censor.

He Li immediately went out to work and submitted a memorial: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Donghai, and the Prince of Jiaozhi were born as princes to govern the vassal states, which violated the family rules of the ancestors. It is advisable to summon the two kings to return them and revoke the vassal states and counties."

"What do you think?" Zhao Huan looked at the ministers in the hall with bright eyes.

Su Chi came out to report: "Jiazhi Kingdom is far away from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the imperial court is beyond reach. It is necessary to establish a vassal state. However, the Donghai Kingdom is close to the Central Plains, so it is indeed not necessary to establish a vassal state. I think the prince of Donghai can be transferred to Xingzhou and the king of Nanyang."

"Transfer the seal?" Zhao Huan thought for a while, "Will the Prince of Donghai go?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister can go to the East China Kingdom." Su Chi said, "maybe I can convince the Prince of Donghai to agree to the transfer of the title."

"What if he doesn't want to?" Zhao Huan asked.

Su Chi was speechless.

Donghai Country has an armed force! JD.com has a business group, and Donghai Country itself also has a strong fleet.

If the court wants to move hard, I really don't know how to end...

However, if Zhao Kai did not take down Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan's throne would not be stable. Even if Zhao Kai did not rebel, his wife Wu Meiniang, the wealthy merchants in the eight southeastern states, and rational scholars would most likely incite Zhao Kai to rebel.

Zhao Huan said coldly: "Su Qing, then I'll have to go to the East China Kingdom... I always have to be polite first and then soldiers!"
