The news of Zhao Gou's death from illness and Linguo's participation in the war came at the same time.

And obviously the bureaucrats of the Three Kingdoms did not expect that they would all collide, and each of them was quite confused——

Tang Situi originally executed Zhao Gou, and planned to bring the young emperor to the throne and promote the system of prime minister. Originally, the script had been corrected many times with all the actors, and the new play would start after the Linguo head of state came to pay his respects.

Who would have thought that as soon as the news of Zhao Gou's death was released, spies from Linguo came to report the news that afternoon, saying that Linguo had dispatched troops to the north and conquered several cities from Linyi to Qingzhou!

What's even more frightening is that the former legend of the dragon and the ghost bird have been widely spread again!

As the mastermind, Tang Situi originally wanted to win the position of head of state. He even ran a small private group for a long time, waiting for the funeral to be over before starting to handle important counseling matters. Let's do it—after cleaning up the Kingdom of Jin, isn't it time to start the Kingdom of Song?

According to the original plan of the Mingqiu Party, the royal family members and many important ministers unanimously passed the constitutional monarchy, and then directly passed the proposal to move the capital.

But Linguo is now going straight to Jinguo Zhongjing, maybe he will go to Mongolia——

Do you want to live against Lin Guo? !

But the problem is that Zhao Gou is cold now, and the dead body will stink if he doesn't restrain himself, and the funeral must follow the time.

Tang Si Tui was in a daze when his head was full of the changes of the Three Kingdoms, and he cooperated with the powerful officials to organize the national funeral, weeping together, almost crying out with bile.

Lu You knelt at the front of the team, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

What he is loyal to is not the king, but the country.

He did not obstruct Tang Situi's plan, and as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, he did not break away from these rebellious parties. It is because he gradually began to believe in these years that the current Song Dynasty also needs a political system that can keep up with the new economy and productivity.

Zhao Kuangyin started as a rebel. The so-called royal blood has nothing to do with Zhou Tianzi. Only when the parliament and the prime minister are harmonious enough can the country fight and fight, and no longer be afraid of one person's words.

The howls of the ministers and concubines resounded before and after, and the sharp voice of the eunuch pierced the sky: "Report—the head of state of Lin is here!"

The head of state is here? !

He is here at this time too? !

Everyone hurriedly turned around at the same time, looking against the light at the head of state Liu who was wearing a crane feather cloak.

The man had a stern face, his steps were steady and powerful, and there was an antler medal hanging on his black uniform.

Even if you just walked quickly into the mourning hall, the sound of the footsteps knocked into everyone's heart like a nail.

His skin is pale and his stature is thin, but no matter his eyebrows or his back, he is awe-inspiring but inviolable.

Tang Situ thought that everything had been smashed, and led a group of high-ranking officials to salute again, and said loudly: "The Song Dynasty has no time to welcome guests from far away. I hope Mr. Liu will understand."

On the way here, Liu Xi had already figured out the etiquette, and only compromising the rules between Lin and Song, took the three sticks of incense sticks from the ritual officer's hand, and bowed three times to the golden nanmu coffin.

But the eyes of others looking at him are full of wariness and vigilance.

You Linguo head of state is here now, do you also want to take advantage of Zhao Gou's death to make a fortune? !

"My Linguo expresses deep sympathy for the old emperor's funeral, and I have no intention of interfering with Song's domestic affairs." Liu Zi stood beside the coffin, glanced sideways at the kneeling courtiers, and directly ignored the overly loud wailing , looked at the hunched Tang Situi and said, "Prime Minister Tang."

"Here!" Tang Situi shuddered at the call, and subconsciously tensed up, for fear of being made things difficult by him.

"My country's celestial master has recently left the customs and made a fortune for you, Song Dynasty."

Liu Xi stared into his eyes, there was no emotion in those jade-like pupils.

"A virtuous minister emerges, the empire is established, and the world is in harmony."

"After the funeral, if there is a new political system, I will naturally present a generous gift to the new person in charge as a sign of respect."

Tang Si was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say, but his teeth started to fight.

He suddenly realized something that he hadn't considered.

When I stood in front of Liu Xi, I was like a pheasant with its wings bound, no matter how coercive it was, I couldn't keep pace with him.

This sense of oppression comes from the depths, and has nothing to do with official status.

All the knowledge, talent, knowledge, and city government are all silently fused in the breath around Liu Xun. Even if Prime Minister Tang has just killed Zhao Gou, when he is face to face at close range, he can't help shivering. .

He has never wanted to escape from this position so much, to pull any courtier out to top the vat.

"Linguo is busy with political affairs, so I won't bother you here."

Liu Xi greeted the coffin from a distance, and without waiting for him to say any more nonsense, he directly led the group of people out of here.

When he turned around, even the wind was chilling.

Tang Situi stood there in a daze, but suddenly changed his mind.

Regardless of whether Lin Guo found out about this matter through a celestial master or an insider, and no matter how much Lin Guo knew and whether he could really listen to people's hearts, the constitutional monarchy and the House of Commons system must be reformed, but he will never sit on this location.

The position of prime minister must be given to someone else.

It will take nearly a month for the entire funeral ceremony to go from crying spirits to leveling the earth, but the situation of the battle changes rapidly, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

Only when the inner court is stable can we continue to play this game of chess.

At night, the entire villa was brightly lit.

This time, there were so many people that the servants had to clean out the largest courtyard next to the hot spring, spread out cushioned cloth and a small silver charcoal stove, and pulled out the electrical outlets to facilitate the arrangement of lights and microphones.

The royal family, nobles, representatives of civil servants, representatives of military officials, wealthy businessmen, and the core members of Mingqiu, add up to five or sixty people.

And the people from Linguo also came here overnight - most of them have already bought courtyards in Chuzhou and Haizhou, and it only takes a few hours to drive here.

Although Shengyue Alloy and Jingzi Chemical had greatly weakened or even emptied their power in Linguo this year, they and the investors of the Jiangyin Chamber of Commerce had already fully infiltrated He Xuanchang, which hadn't even established a system in the beginning. The chemical industry, and now almost even Shaoxing Manufacturing has a lot of their people.

Because of this, almost 40 people with the original identity of Jiangyin came, representing nearly eight companies and investors.

Many common people think that power is status, and that by sitting on the dragon chair, taking away the scepter, and wearing the crown, one can become the person in power above ten thousand people.

But the truth is that any power is never an individual, but a group of forces.

Just like every US president stands behind three or four chaebols, using the president’s mouthpiece to seek their own interests, otherwise the American Rifle Association would not need to inject huge sums of money into both parties at the same time in each election.

The person standing in front of the stage is always just a puppet-like talker.

Whether the string behind the puppet is held in his own hands, or whether it is forcibly manipulated by a group of people is another matter.

Smart people will try their best to cultivate and expand their entire team, even based on fully penetrating the business world and military affairs, to grasp their right to speak.

If Liu Xi hadn't purchased the entire Shuyuan Group, hadn't invested in the arms industry, and hadn't doubled his old assets by taking advantage of the reform, his voice in the Senate would not have been much more important.

The first issue they will discuss tonight is who will play the puppet in front of the stage.

In fact, the House of Lords and Lower Houses have already drawn up, not only taking full care of the royal family and nobles, secretly compensating them for enough interests and reputations, so that they can continue to live and dream under the brilliance, but also giving merchants more rights to speak.

Even without the deduction by a fortune teller, almost anyone who opens their eyes can see that with the crazy development of the real industry, within ten years, the status of nobles who only rely on blood to survive will continue to be expelled from this circle, and intermarriage between classes will also be expelled. will become more and more frequent.

"Mr. Zhang and I mean that we don't participate in the discussion on this matter." Hu Pingyu still had exquisite makeup, only glanced at the men with different eyes, and said unhurriedly: "The so-called prime minister, It’s just a representative, so you don’t need to be too nervous.”

Tang Situi talked too much, but suppressed all his real thoughts.

This role should not have too much status and prestige.

Jiang Fu's family is talented in everything, and letting him be the prime minister is tantamount to supporting the power of the aristocratic family, and those businessmen categorically refuse.

Lu You holds the entire Ministry of Commerce in his hands. He has handled too many businesses and industries. If he adds more flowers to the cake at this time, he is very likely to change from the prime minister holding power to the regent. Even if he has no intention of seizing power, he will definitely give the businessman too It's so good that the power is out of balance again.

While he listened to other people spiel, he was always looking for new candidates.

The person who can make everyone wary is the person who can make everyone feel at ease.

Being baseless isn't enough to pose a threat, but it should be enough to have status.

Be able to flexibly coordinate the relationship between nobles and businessmen, and it is best to have interests involved with them.

"and many more."

He stood up suddenly.

Under everyone's gaze, this Tang Si staggered around the crowd, went straight to the podium, and took the microphone from the Zheshang's hand.

"I'm not talented enough, I want to recommend someone with my own body."

His eyes fell on Yun Qi.

Golden State.

Wan Yanyong has suffered from insomnia for the past two years, and has aged almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The good news is that he joined forces with the Mongolian Kelei tribe, the White Tatar tribe, and the Zhazhi tribe, which directly contributed to the union of an entire northern land.

And this large grassland is almost more than the entire territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the people of Kelei's tribe were rebellious, they couldn't understand that the southern emperor was domineering. They only negotiated an alliance with him and wantonly plundered many cities in the south, regardless of women's food.

The area of ​​the entire Mongolian grassland is several times larger than that of the Central Plains, but because of this, more than a dozen tribes have split up and have never been able to unite.

Also taking advantage of this opportunity, Wanyanyong was able to use the White Tatar tribe, which had long surrendered, to show friendship to several tribes. Various jewelry were also sent over, and he even designated a territory to say that as long as you snatch it, it will belong to you.

With the temperament of the Jurchen tribe, if they want to fully integrate with the southerners, they can only assimilate themselves internally.

Neither Jurchen nor Mongolia has its own education system and bureaucratic system.

They are hunters and nomads, born to be brave and good at fighting, and they are destined to secure their position in the north.

If we can stabilize the stable food supply in the east and raise more Mongolian horses in the north, things will only get better and better.

If Uncle Li Shi is still alive, I'm afraid he will feel quite relieved.

Wan Yanyong kept calculating the gains and losses of different areas on the map, only hoping to find more initiative.

A spies ran back in a daze, his legs almost trembling with overdrawn: "Officials! Officials!"

"Linguo captured the seven cities in the east in one day, and even Cangzhou has been breached. I'm afraid we'll be in Yingzhou tonight!"

"what--"

There was no movement in the seven years before Linguo, and the only time he took action was because the Jin and Song dynasties united nearly 20 troops to encircle and suppress them.

Why did you suddenly move your hand now? !

"All the battle reports are being mailed to the capital, and the officials came back after running to the death of three horses! It is said that they used gods, ghosts, birds, heavenly soldiers and generals in Linguo, and they fought all the way here. I don’t know what kind of magic was used! Six of the seven cities in the east surrendered without a fight, and only one city refused to express its opinion for nearly an hour, and the city gate was directly blown away by a cannonball!”

"what!!"

"There is also news from Lin'an that Zhao Gou has died of a sudden illness. After the funeral, because of the prince's young age, the State of Song established a constitutional monarchy and changed the Privy Council to the upper and lower houses. Respect the law and respect the emperor, and even changed a female prime minister!"

"what?!!!"
