Chapter 199 Uneven Distribution of Powers

Things went smoothly. After Guo Ruzhou reported the matter to Zhao Ruyu, Zhao Ruyu asked Guo Gao to recruit soldiers from his subordinates to guard the inner palaces in the north and south at night, and had to sew yellow robes overnight. Finally, Zhao Ruyu personally wrote the inner Zen edict.

The next day, after the Empress Dowager Wu came to court, Zhao Ruyu asked Zhao Kuo to be the crown prince, and the Empress Dowager Wu agreed. Zhao Ruyu then proposed to let Zhao Kuo ascend the throne immediately. The Empress Dowager Wu said: "Very good." In this way, Zhao Kuo went from prince to prince, and then from prince to emperor, and took the second level in one step, completing the decades of hard work of his father Zhao Dun.

However, Zhao Kuo, as the person involved, did not appreciate this kind of affection. If he only wanted him to be the crown prince, he would be happy. But now he was letting him become the emperor directly, and when Zhao Dun was alive, he would not do it. He refused to wear the imperial robe, so he ran around the pillars in the hall, saying, "My son can't do it!"

But even if he didn't want to do it, it would be impossible not to do it at this time. From the Empress Dowager to the Ministers in the court, Zhao Kuo was finally pressed on the dragon throne. King Jia was the Emperor Ningzong of Song, and changed the reign to Qingyuan.

It is also a satirical saying that the Song Dynasty was determined to guard against military generals, but who knew that civil officials could also engage in a coup. Moreover, this coup did not use swords and guns, and no one died. It was a successful coup, a successful coup, and a united coup.

The mentally ill emperor Zhao Dun, who made the political affairs of the Song Dynasty, was forced to abdicate, and the political life of the Song Dynasty should gradually get on the right track. Everyone works together to seek development and govern the country well. Should the Song Dynasty increase its national strength?

But things were not the case at all. After the coup, all the civil officials involved in the coup were thinking about fighting for power and excluding dissidents. In this coup, Zhao Ruyu and Han Ruzhou were the most critical figures. After the coup, Zhao Ruyu was quickly promoted to Privy Councilor, and then was named Right Prime Minister, with the highest position as the minister, almost alone in charge of the government affairs.

Zhao Ruyu's promotion was inevitable. After the coup, the new emperor ascended the throne, and once the emperor was a minister, he would never leave him behind. But it was not fair to reward other merits. At least in Han Luzhou's opinion, he made great contributions. For example, Empress Dowager Wu was convinced by him personally, and he also took back the jade seal of the new emperor Zhao Kuo.

After Zhao Kuo ascended the throne, Han Tuozhou accompanied him to meet Zhao Dun, who had automatically been upgraded to the Supreme Emperor. Zhao Dun was stunned when he heard that Zhao Kuo had ascended the throne and became the emperor. He was not aware of this at all. It was the first time he heard about it. He asked with his eyes straight: "Why don't you tell me about such a big thing in advance?"

A neurotic is a neurotic. This is a coup. Can you say hello to you in advance?

Li Fengniang was so open-minded that the throne had not been passed to others anyway, so she took out the jade seal from the head of the bed and handed it to Zhao Kuo. It is said that the jade seal should be kept by someone, but now Zhao Dun's jade seal was placed by Li Fengniang on the head of her bed, so it was very convenient to use it. No wonder she was able to promote nearly a hundred of her relatives and guards in a day. The reason was that this was the reason. The emperor's jade seal was kept by her. In this way, the emperor Zhao Dun was just a name. If he wanted to issue an imperial edict, he had to ask the queen for the jade seal.

Han Luzhou's ambition was actually not high. He just wanted to be a Jieyue, which was enough. Although the Jiedushi was not a senior official in the court, he was definitely a prince. However, even if he had this request, Zhao Ruyu did not satisfy him.

"I am a royal family of Emperor Song, and the king is a relative of the descendants. It is also a matter of supporting the king. How can I express my merits? Only the ministers with their minions should give me a favor and ask for rewards." Zhao Ruyu was still very polite to Han Ruzhou. When he saw him coming to his house, he personally poured tea for him. But when he talked about Han Ruzhou's official position, he became less happy.

In the end, Han Tuozhou was only moved to the Yizhou Observer and Privy Council, and the Jiedushi that Han Tuozhou liked the most was taken away by Guo Gao. The Yizhou Observer was just a false position, and Han Tuozhou could not take office. He actually served as the Privy Council.

Privy Council was in charge of internal affairs of the Privy Council, similar to the current Director of the General Office of the Military Commission and Director of the Personnel Department. The main responsibility was to inspect the merits and demerits of officials below the Privy Council and their relocations. When the emperor was dealing with government affairs in Chongzheng Hall, he stood by his side, followed the matters and reported, or obtained the order to be given to the relevant institutions.

Han Ruzhou was full of resentment. Although he didn't have to do anything about the knowledge of the Hemen, this job was not much better than the original one. Moreover, because he had not met his wish, he was promoted to a higher level, which made him unable to accept it at all. Moreover, Zhu Xi, who was neglected in the previous two dynasties and was hitting a wall everywhere, was invited back by Zhao Ruyu to serve as the Huanzhang Pavilion, which was the attendant, which made Han Ruzhou even more unable to stand it.

In addition, when Han Ruzhou heard that Zhao Ruyu wanted to invite the original escaped prime minister Liu Zheng back, he couldn't stand it. So when Han Ruzhou returned home, he wanted to complain to Han Zhongwei, but since the coup, Han Zhongwei had not lived in the mansion for a while, which made Han Ruzhou want to find someone to tell him.

"Father, it's time to go to court." Han Zhongyi saw Han Ruozhou coming home and hurriedly met him.

"Well, where is Zhongwei?" Han Luzhou snorted and said with a gloomy face. It has been three or four days since he saw Han Zhongwei's shadow. I feel a little nervous when I can't see him.

"The third brother is back." Han Zhongyi has been rolling his eyes from Han Fuzhou in the past few days. Every time he comes back, he asks his third brother if he has returned. If he heard that he has not returned home, his face will suddenly become gloomy. Now Han Zhongyi only dares to walk around Han Fuzhou. Fortunately, Han Zhongwei has returned to his house today, so Han Zhongyi is so confident that he dares to talk to Han Fuzhou. Otherwise, he would have been like a mouse who saw a cat and doesn't know where to go.

"Hurry, please ask him to the study." Han Luzhou said in his heart. He actually used the word "please" to Han Zhongwei, which shows how eager he was to see Han Zhongwei.

"Zhongwei, where have you been these days? I am very worried about my father." When Han Luzhou saw Han Zhongwei, he seemed to have seen a savior, and walked forward and grabbed his arm with a big step.

Of course, Han Luzhou's concerns did not mean that Han Zhongwei went out, but that he himself. During this period, he was so ruthless that he looked for Zhao Ruyu. The other party broke the bridge across the river and ignored him. Even if Han Luzhou told him clearly, there would be no change in his official position.

"Is my father because of his official position?" Han Zhongwei smiled. Although he was not in the Han Mansion these days, he was very familiar with the political situation of the entire court, and of course he knew very well about Han Luzhou's small promotion.

"But I have worked hard for the emperor to ascend the throne, but Zhao Ruyu, an old man, broke the bridge across the river. It is really hateful." Han Tuozhou said gritting his teeth. Only in front of Han Zhongwei could he take off all his disguises and have something to say.

"Actually, my father doesn't have to be sad. Your position is the most suitable one now. It would be unbeautiful if he was transferred to another place to serve as a military governor like Guo Gao." Han Zhongwei said. In fact, Han Tuozhou was in a blessing and did not know how to be blessed. As long as he pointed him through, he might even exchanged the military governor for him.

"Where do you start with this?" Han Tuozhou said in surprise. Why is he the most suitable position for him if he has no power?

"How did the emperor treat you during this period?" Han Zhongwei asked with a chuckling.

"The emperor trusts me more." Han Tuozhou said, perhaps this only thing can make him talk. Zhao Kuo first ascended the treasure, and at first he worked diligently with the mountains of memorials, but he was tired of it soon after. Now he actually pushed some memorials to Han Tuozhou to help him handle them, and Zhao Kuo was only responsible for stamping them.

"Isn't this good? The emperor trusts you very much, what else do you have to worry about?" Han Zhongwei felt that Han Luzhou was begging with a golden rice bowl now.

"But I..." Han Tuozhou ignored Han Zhongwei's intention.

"Father, come here with your ears." Han Zhongwei shook his head and said quietly in Han Luzhou's ear...

The next morning, Han Rizhou appeared in the Privy Council with a refreshing spirit, as if he had changed his own person. Even Zhao Kuo was surprised to see him. But this was fine. Han Rizhou was full of energy and Zhao Kuo was relieved. Basically, all matters of all sizes were left to him.

Today, Han Luzhou has another thing to do in addition to doing everything he must do. This is not only what Han Zhongwei told him last night, but also what he wanted to try to see if his invisible Shangfang sword is not sharp.

You Zhengyan belongs to the subordinate officials of the Secretariat, also known as "Yu Sheng". The chief official is named Zhongshu Ling, and in fact he is also known as Wu Sheng. The deputy chief official is Zhongshu Shilang. Another appointed a Zhongshu Sheren as the "Judge Zhongshu Shishan" to truly take charge of the power of the province. The subordinate officials include the Right Sanqi Changshi, Zhongshu Sheren, Right Censor, Living House, Right Censor, Right Censor, Right Zhengyan, etc.

Huang Du was a Youzhengyan who was under the "Secretary of the Secretariat" under the Secretariat of the Secretariat. Simply put, this official position is a censor, but Huang Du now dislikes Han Tuozhou and wants to write a letter to impeach him. But Han Zhongwei got the news from nowhere. Now what Han Tuozhou has to do is to take action first.

Han Luzhou was not prepared to kill everyone, but just wrote an order to transfer Huang Du directly to five hundred miles away. As long as Han Luzhou stayed in Lin'an for one day, Huang Du would never be able to return to the capital.

Zhao Kuo didn't even read this decree. Although Han Buzhou casually told the matter of transferring Huang Du, Zhao Kuo directly stamped his seal before he even finished listening. This cooperation between Zhao Kuo made Han Buzhou very happy. As long as he cooperated with Zhao Kuo, what is Zhao Ruyu? Isn't he the right prime minister? As long as he has an internal criticism, he has to leave obediently.

Han Ruzhou's attempt to leave Huang Du did not arouse the ministers in the court. In their opinion, Han Ruzhou's behavior was despised by them, especially Zhao Ruyu. When he heard that Han Ruzhou actually used such a trick, he looked down on him.

But this made the Huanzhang Pavilion, which had just been invited back by Zhao Ruyu, alerted Zhu Xi, the Hongqing Palace in Nanjing, who was recommended by Zhao Ruyu, and he was also a Neo-Confucianist, so he had a natural closeness to Zhao Ruyu. As a firm supporter of the theory of "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires", he looked down on Han Ruyu very much, so he also found Zhao Ruyu and asked him that he would rather raise Han Ruyu two levels to satisfy his wishes than leave him in the court again, otherwise he would have a great trouble in the future.

But Han Ruzhou had no weight in Zhao Ruyu's heart. If Zhao Ruyu wanted to bow to Han Ruzhou, he felt that it was a self-deprecating person. Therefore, he sneered at Zhu Xi's reminder. In his eyes, Han Ruzhou was not an equal opponent at all. If he treated him as a green onion, his identity would be reduced a lot.

There has always been no airtight wall in the world. Zhu Xi's words soon reached Han Luzhou's ears, making Han Luzhou tremble all over. He wished he could exile Zhu Xi for 300 miles as if he had dealt with Huang Du, but Zhao Kuo did not agree to Han Luzhou's approach because Zhu Xi's reputation was too famous this time.

What Han Ruzhou couldn't stand was that the escaped prime minister Liu Zheng was actually the prime minister after he came back again. He could even restore his post like him, but he was excluded by Zhao Ruyu. He was really more annoying than others.

This made Han Luzhou depressed all afternoon, and the pleasure brought to him by exile Huang Du hundreds of miles away in the morning had long disappeared. Until he returned home, Han Luzhou was still frowning, and Zhu Xi and Zhao Ruyu simply ignored him directly. If they were not given good looks, he would not have the shame to stay in the court again in the future.

"Wei'er, you have to give me an idea. I'm so angry today." When Han Ruzhou came back, he didn't even have time to take off his official uniform, so he pulled Han Zhongwei to the study.

"Is my father so angry by that Zhu Xi?" Han Zhongwei couldn't help but smile when he saw Han Ruzhou's angry look.

In the Song Dynasty, Han Zhongwei had no impression of anyone, but he had been famous for Zhu Xi for a long time. He had heard of this person's reputation during class in middle school. Now that he came here, he heard that he had entered the palace, Han Zhongwei took a special opportunity to take a look and found that Zhu Xi was just an old man. It seems that historical celebrities are just like this, and Han Zhongwei also heard about him. An official went to prostitution and was found out that he almost committed suicide by his preaching. But as far as Han Zhongwei knew, Zhu Xi not only had a concubine, but also this concubine was a nun before. It seems that his desire to destroy people was to call the Xuzhou officials to set fire and not allow the people to light the lamp.

"This matter spread so quickly, even you know?" Han Luzhou really didn't expect such a rumor. Han Zhongwei was also very clear about the news about Huang Du and he told him that he wanted to impeach him. Han Zhongwei was very well-versed in Lin'an's news.
