I will never be Renzong

In Chengming Palace, Liu E fell behind, and the ministers below did not reply.

After a long time, Feng Zheng got up and worshiped: "Since the first emperor ascended to heaven, Ding Wei and Lei Yungong have jointly discussed the country's major affairs, claiming to have the will of the middle palace, and the ministers can't distinguish the truth from the truth. This is the blessing of the ancestral temple and the country!"

With one sentence, Feng Zheng not only chose himself out, but also charged Ding Wei with "coercion".

"Ding said that for such a crime, not killing is not enough to anger the people!"

After Liu E heard Feng Zheng's words, he couldn't help being furious, and wanted to cut the mess straight away, which was called a death penalty for treason.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Feng Zheng to speak, but said directly: "I have just been enthroned for less than half a year, and I killed the minister Tuogu appointed by the late emperor. If it spreads, wouldn't it make people in the world say that I am not? According to my opinion Come on, Ding said that there was really a conspiracy? He just didn't report the situation in the mountain in time. Since the emperor Taizu, I have treated scholar-bureaucrats preferentially and never executed a scholar-bureaucrat. Great Empress Mingjian!"

Although Liu E is in charge of all political affairs at the moment, it is the edict of this official when it is spread in the Song Dynasty. Liu E wants him to take the blame, and Zhao Zhen is not stupid, how can he be happy?

"Then how should Ding Wei's crime be determined according to the officials' words?"

Liu E frowned, but she didn't expect the officials to dismantle her in public.

"Let's be dismissed first, and then dispatched to investigate the case. If it is true, then convict!"

Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"Feng Zheng, what do you think?"

Liu E asked Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng glanced at Zhao Zhen, then at Liu E, thinking that the atmosphere today is a bit wrong!The officials are playing against the Queen Mother!
"This"

Whether he agrees or disagrees with it.Beads of sweat involuntarily slipped from his forehead.

For a moment, the entire court was silent.

When things got to this point, Qian Weiyan didn't dare to say a word of nonsense. Shen Zhizheng Shiren really received Ding Wei's favor in his early years. Seeing this, he said: "After all, Ding Wei is a minister entrusted by the late emperor. If you are guilty, you are guilty. It should also be credited!"

What he means is that merit and demerit cancel each other out.

Wang Zeng replied directly: "Ding said that he offended the ancestral temple because of his infidelity, so what merit is there?"

Seeing this, Liu E made a decision and said: "Luo Ding said that Tong Pingzhangshi, Situ, and servant were demoted to the prince Shaobao, and the Xijing (Luoyang) Ai family was punished like this. The officials will see if it is fair!"

"My aunt is wise, my son has nothing to say!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen replied respectfully.

Ding Wei's downfall must be "pull out the carrots and bring out the mud!", Ding Wei has a high position and power, and has many party members. Ren Zhongzheng, who spoke for him, was demoted to the prince's guest and knew Huizhou. All the middle school teachers were implicated and were relegated.

But Qian Weiyan, who slipped through the net, escaped by luck. Instead of being demoted, he was promoted from deputy privy envoy to privy envoy, on an equal footing with Cao Lili.

With the support of Zhao Zhen, all the servants knew that Zhang Jingzong was ordered to search Ding Wei's mansion and found a letter of push or flattery or entrustment. Many people were involved, but Zhang Jingzong did not hand it over to Liu E. It was all given to Zhao Zhen.

Although Zhao Zhen can't use the handle of these ministers right now, it's better to keep it just in case.

After the downfall of Ding Wei, Wang Zeng added the official Zhongshu Shilang and Pingzhangshi, and Lu Yijian, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, was in charge of giving things, and Lu Zongdao was the right admonishing doctor.

As the saying goes, once the ruling team has a system, the previous system established by Ding Wei should also be abolished, but Feng Zheng hopes to continue to maintain this system, because the system established by Ding Wei is conducive to the prime minister's grasp of power, and Feng Zheng obviously wants to Ding Wei wants to be the second monopoly.

But he didn't expect to be opposed by Wang Zeng. Wang Zeng understood him with reason and moved him with emotion.

If you want to take over Ding Wei's position and authority, then Ding Wei's today is your Feng Zheng's tomorrow.

Feng Zheng gave up at this point.

Ding Wei fell, and the female Taoist priest Liu Demiao and Ding Wei's forgery of the heavenly scriptures was naturally revealed, so Ding Wei, who was still on the road, was relegated again, this time he was directly relegated to Yazhou Sihu to join the army, and his sons All the grace received has been withdrawn.

The court team is in the process of rectification, and the new system will be released soon. Liu E and Zhao Zhen will visit the Chengming Palace every five days. It can only be handed over to the relevant departments for execution, but in fact, Zhao Zhen can only see the imperial court's letter, and the final decision is still in the hands of Liu E.

Of course, if the executive team disagrees with the empress dowager's punishment, they can temporarily withhold it and renegotiate the decision.

In the first year of Qianxing, on the tenth day of the eighth month, Liu E and Zhao Zhen followed a brand-new procedure for the first time to "drape the curtain" in the Chengming Hall.

Prime Minister Feng Zheng led all the civil and military officials to "pay respects and congratulations!"

Liu E immediately said: "I am listening to the government behind the curtain. It is really a last resort. I have to come out here next time. When the official family grows up, I will return to the official family!"

"The Empress Dowager is coming to the court, and it is the entrustment of Emperor Gai Xian. The ministers must do their best to assist the officials to keep our country and society safe in the Song Dynasty!"

The civil and military ministers below worshiped together.

At first, Ding Wei proposed that the queen mother should call herself "Yu". After Ding Wei was dismissed, Zhongshumen and the Academy of Etiquette discussed together. Every time the queen mother issued an order, she called herself "Yu" and "Wu" in the side hall.

Liu E found it troublesome, and the imperial edict has always called himself "I".

After a series of personnel changes, although Zhao Zhen is still not in charge of the government, all major affairs in the court cannot be hidden from him at the moment, which means that he has the right to know. Compared with Liu E who handled political affairs alone before A big step forward.

From then on, the political affairs of the imperial court were determined by the two palaces, but Zhao Zhen was still in the stage of apprenticeship, and Zhao Zhen also knew that the time to turn against Liu E was not yet there, so whether it was listening to the government behind the curtain once every five days, or alone The one-day affairs of "opening a small stove" for him are basically going through the motions and putting on a show.

But it is still necessary to show up occasionally.

For example, Feng Zheng relegated Kou Zhun and Li Di out of the capital again as if he was taking advantage of Lei Yungong Dingwei's incident. In fact, he wanted to assassinate them, but was strongly rejected by Zhao Zhen.

In the end, Kou Zhun was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and went to the Liao Kingdom to celebrate the birthday of the Liao Queen.

And Li Di was appointed Doctor of Guozi and served as Guozijian.

In Funing Hall, Zhao Zhen was holding a book and looked at it absent-mindedly. The reason why he chose to keep things quiet was that he did not compete with Liu E. On the one hand, he was too young, and on the other hand, it was entirely because of his attitude towards Liu E. Chang'e worship.

Does the fact that women intervene in politics mean that the government is going into chaos?The last empress dowager in the feudal dynasty who listened to politics behind the curtain, Cixi can be said to have a bad record and a bad reputation for thousands of years in this respect, but in the Song Dynasty, where political civilization was at its peak, the situation was completely different.

From the first year of Qianxing to the second year of Mingdao, Liu E listened to the government behind the curtain for 11 years.

In the past 11 years, in addition to focusing on maintaining the mother-child relationship with Zhao Zhen, Liu E has devoted himself to preventing ministers from cultivating party members, which in turn threatens imperial power and political stability.

Song Zhenzong's method is to let the ministers check and balance each other and supervise each other, but Liu E's method is: those who follow me will prosper, and those who stand up will die.

Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently, the compromise in front of Zhao Zhen does not mean that he will struggle for 11 years, and this power game, the contest between mother and son, has just begun.
