Chapter 668 Prime Minister!

The news was announced in the hall.

In the court hall, Song Huizong dragged his tired body, glanced at the ministers wearing official uniforms on both sides, and announced the matter in a weak voice.

Wu Zhi, as well as the newly appointed six ministers and some princes were present.

When Song Huizong mentioned the canonization of the prince, Zhao Shu was the most excited. After all, he was older than Zhao Gou.

On the other hand, Zhao Kai likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has no intention of being an official. He also said that he is unwilling to take this position, so he should be excluded.

Since ancient times, the elders are not the young ones. Although Zhao Shu made some mistakes, he always imagined that His Majesty would make him the crown prince.

Of course, due to Zhao Jian's meritorious service, this made him somewhat uneasy, but he was unwilling to compromise until the last moment.

During this period of time, Zhao Shu still wanted to serve Song Huizong closely, and there was no problem with the conversation between father and son.

however.

When the tall Tong Guan, who didn't look like a eunuch's strong voice resounded through the court, announcing the content of the imperial decree, Zhao Shu's face turned pale.

It was Zhao Zuo who was conferred the crown prince by imperial decree, not Zhao Shu.

His legs were weak, and his face was unbelievable, the prince is not him?
But Zhao Gou was in a different mood from him. Zhao Gou had always wanted to become a prince and an official.

However, there was Prince Zhao Heng in power before, so he just thought about it, and sometimes even thought it was impossible.

I also persuaded myself to be more honest, the position of the crown prince has been fixed since I was a child, and it belongs to Zhao Heng. He has had such thoughts many times and dispelled such thoughts many times.

However, when Zhao Heng was abolished, his mind became active, so he also thought about wooing Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi didn't pay much attention to him at all.

Until later, Wu Zhi asked him to go out to fight, and gave him advice and advice, allowing him to establish a certain amount of military merit.

Only then did he feel that he had hope, but when he really wanted to announce the canonization edict, Zhao Gou was still not sure if it would work or not.

Now that the content of the imperial decree was read out, Zhao Gou's active mind was completely boiling.

For a moment, he wanted to roar excitedly and tell everyone in the world that he, a little prince, Zhao Gou, who could never become a prince, actually became a prince!
What an exciting moment this is!

After confirming that it was him, Zhao Gou knelt on the ground without hesitation: "My son, I thank my father for the canonization. My son must be a good prince and live up to my father's trust in my son!"

The reason why Song Huizong canonized Zhao Gou was because Zhao Shu failed too much in the war last time, and he was shaken by himself. Now that the queen made such a fuss, he hoped that a capable prince would take the official position.

Although Zhao Gou went out with Yue Fei, it was Yue Fei who commanded him.But no matter what the process is, the result is that he has made a contribution, which is a good promotion capital.

Even if the ministers have the principle of setting up the elders but not the young, they will be dismissed because of his meritorious deeds.

But in fact, everyone looked at Wu Zhi about this matter, Wu Zhi did not refute, obviously acquiesced.

They also knew that this matter must have been discussed by the officials and Wu Zhi. Since it had been read out, there was no court meeting, and the rebuttal was useless.

The six ministers who came up just now are all officials from below. After much deliberation, they dare not openly refute the crown prince.

After all, Zhao Gou is at a high-spirited time at this moment, and if he doesn't say that refutation may be invalid, once he refutes, even if it is a sentence, he will be hated by the prince.

After that, my future will be ruined.

They are not like Wu Zhi, if Wu Zhi refuted, there must be nothing wrong, but Wu Zhi didn't refute, how dare they.

After Song Huizong announced this incident, he also announced another incident.

That is, Wu Zhi became the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the system of prime ministers left and right was abolished, and there will only be prime ministers in the future.

Manage the officials of the six ministries and assist the prince as a concurrent state.

As for Song Huizong himself, he knew that his health was no longer good, and he was relieved to have Wu Zhi's assistance.

He also knew that if he weakened Wu Zhi's rights for the sake of the prince, or even sent him away, then the consequence would be that once Wu Zhi felt that he no longer trusted and feared him, it would be counterproductive.

Song Huizong simply used Wu Zhi's capture of the Dashi Kingdom and the Byzantine Empire as an excuse, and canonized him as prime minister.

As for the right minister, it has already been abolished, and there is no one to replace it. In the future, this system will disappear, only the prime minister.

None of the courtiers refuted.

Song Huizong knew the consequences of doing so, but Wu Zhi was not something he could deal with if he wanted to be canonized or not.

He can't even guard against a queen, so why should he fight against Wu Zhi?
So this is also the result of Song Huizong's careful consideration.Most importantly, Song Huizong still trusted Wu Zhi quite a lot.

His title and reputation of the Holy King are all due to Wu Zhi.Otherwise, it is still unknown what the situation in Song Dynasty is now.

Two major events happened in a few days in succession, and after they were reported to the entire Great Song Dynasty, people all over the world were in a state of excitement.

One is the position of prince, and the other is Wu Zhi canonized as prime minister.

At this moment, Zhao Gou was not afraid of Wu Zhi's canonization as the prime minister. He knew that Wu Zhi must have done something in it if he could be canonized as the prince.

For example, Wu Zhi recommended, or Wu Zhi did not refute.

As long as Wu Zhi does not refute, it is equal to support in disguise.

Only the father can give him this position, but whenever Wu Zhi refutes and lists all the reasons, the father has to seriously consider this matter.

Because the father himself obeyed Wu Zhi's opinion very much.

After all, the things analyzed by capable people will affect the final decision.

Wu Xiang is supporting himself.Zhao Gou thought to himself.

The so-called prime minister is actually the person who manages the six ministers and really holds the power.

Wu Zhi is the son-in-law of Song Huizong and a hero of the Song Dynasty. Song Huizong knew that his health was not good, and Zhao Gou did not have the ability to rule the Song Dynasty, so he asked Wu Zhi to jointly manage the Song Dynasty.

And it shows that any imperial decree issued without Wu Zhi's signature cannot take effect.

For this reason, new laws were promulgated.

In other words, Wu Zhi is a very important part of whether the imperial decree is effective.

In fact, during the Song Dynasty.It is not so easy to issue any imperial decree.

The Song Dynasty implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries. The Zhongshu Province drafted the imperial edict, the Menxia Province reviewed it, and the Shangshu Province implemented it.It is a system of three provinces and six ministries.

The imperial decree is formally a draft document written by Zhongshu Province to Menxia Province for review.

After the approval of Menxia Province, the signature of Menxia Pingzhangshi in Zhengshitang, the signature of Shenzhi Zhengshi, and the emperor's affixed jade seal.This draft document has the force of law and turns into an imperial decree.

If one of the above-mentioned departments and personnel has objections to the draft document, then this is still a draft document, not an imperial decree.may not take effect.

In the past, Wu Zhi was the prime minister, and there was also a link to participate, but the right prime minister is also feasible in Wu Zhi's absence, and the imperial edict is still issued.

Now that Wu Zhi has become the prime minister, the imperial decree must have his part, without his signature, it cannot take effect.

Of course, this is something that happened after Song Huizong died and Zhao Shu ascended the throne.

It can also be said that Song Huizong arranged it in advance.

Song Huizong's health is already failing, and it may be too late if we don't make arrangements.With his instructions, everyone only needs to execute them.

Regarding Song Huizong's condition, Wu Zhi was also helpless. After taking the poison, his depleted body had already formed a serious strain.

After discussing with the doctor, Wu Zhi could only prescribe some life-saving medicine for him.

The canonization of the prime minister and the control of the imperial decree were just to prevent Zhao Gou from being too young to grasp the situation of the Song Dynasty after he died.

Only then did Wu Zhi preside over it.

This incident also had a great impact on the entire Great Song Dynasty. Countless people were discussing it, but not many people thought there was any problem with it.

Even if Wu Zhi did not become the prime minister, he was a very influential minister in Song Dynasty.

Now Song Huizong is so trusting, in the eyes of the common people, this is definitely a good thing.

Some people even cheered, as long as Prime Minister Wu is there, they will have a good life, and it would be better if Prime Minister Wu was there all the time.

His ability to supervise the country means that the next generation of officials will also manage the government together with Wu Zhi, which is also beneficial to the people of the world.

now.

Wu Zhi went to see Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Now he can't stand for a long time, so he usually lies down. When he went to court, he was supported by others, and his body was already very weak.

Wu Zhi came to Song Huizong's couch and saw that the middle-aged man in the past had physical problems and his face was pale. Although he was drinking traditional Chinese medicine, his body was damaged due to poisoning for too long. There is also some sigh in the eyes.

Song Huizong is definitely a king who takes care of Wu Zhi very much and trusts him very much.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hand over the state affairs after the crown prince ascended the throne to Wu Zhi.

As a minister, Wu Zhi did not feel sorry for Song Huizong. The Great Song Dynasty is developing very well in all aspects.

But time has passed, the world has changed, and Song Huizong became ill like this, so what can Wu Zhi do?
