Although Ouyang Bian despised Zhao Shu for his so-called governance was actually just doing the simplest work, he had to admit that Zhao Shu seemed to have recovered.

Zhao Shu's official appearance in Xiangguo Temple, Tianqing Temple and Liquan Temple made the entire capital excited, and people ran around to tell each other and cheered and celebrated.

After resigning from the court that day, Han Qi and other prime ministers gathered together to discuss, believing that the time for Zhao Shu to take power was ripe.

So the prime ministers of the two prefectures came to the empress dowager's curtain and reported the matter Zhao Shu had handled, and the empress dowager nodded and said yes.

“……… Later, after I withdrew from the other people, Mr. Han stayed alone, and I don’t know what happened after that.

But the next day, the empress dowager formally issued an edict to return power. As for how Grandpa Han persuaded the empress dowager, I don’t know much about it.”

Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Bian recalled.

Ouyang Bian nodded. It is said that Han Qi took retreat as an advance and asked for retreat first. The Empress Dowager understood what Han Qi meant and pretended to say something like "I want to retreat even if I am old."

In fact, this was originally a polite word, but Han Qi immediately grabbed it and asked the empress dowager when he would leave. When the empress dowager was annoyed, she immediately got up and left.

Han Qi immediately asked Yiluansi to remove the curtain, and the empress dowager stepped back in panic, and even saw it.

Ouyang Bian was not very interested in Han Qi, but he admired his actions this time. This old guy is a cruel person.

Subsequently, Ouyang Xiu was ordered to write the "Edict of the Empress Dowager's Return to the Government and Combined the Constitution" and issued it to the whole country.

On May 13, the court held a grand celebration and Zhao Shu took power.

From this day on, the Empress Dowager will no longer participate in handling military and national affairs.

At this time, it had been one year and two months since he ascended the throne.

The people in Kaifeng are the most well-informed, and the sales of lamb wine in Rendian increased significantly;

The Qingfeng Tower in Nancheng is full of guests, and the supply of green apricots and wine is in short supply;

The sound of firecrackers did not stop all night, making people unable to sleep;

When the guys at the Zhangjia Hucai Shop in Qianhaizhou, Wucheng King Temple, got up early to work, they were all yawning and full of excitement.

Three days after the empress dowager returned to power, on May 16, Ouyang Bian carefully wrote down the daily notes.

[The emperor asked the prime minister and minister: "There are so many malpractices, how can we rescue them?"]

This is Emperor Yingzong's first question.

The political information contained in this question is rich.

It immediately reminded many people of the unfinished reform under the Qingli New Deal, as well as the active efforts of Fu Bi, Han Qi and others during the Jiayou period.

It seems that the spare prince who has been suppressed for a long time and is cautious in his words and actions has finally gained confidence and will do a big deal, eliminate the accumulated ills and innovate politics!

The people of Song all over the world were looking forward to it.

However, the crack between the slaughter is expanding.

The relationship between Prime Minister Han Qi and Privy Councilor Fu Bi deteriorated.

Fu Bi and Ouyang Bian complained: "...I am also the emperor's assistant minister. The Secretariat and the Privy Council have their own division of labor. I dare not inquire about other matters, but can't Han Gong discuss such a major matter with me?"

Ouyang Bian heard Fu Bi's implication and asked someone to bring the words to Han Qi.

Han Qi and the person in charge said, "The empress dowager's intention to remove the curtain was temporarily. How could he tell everyone clearly?"

After this was passed back, Ouyang Bian hesitated for a moment before telling Fu Bi that Fu Bi's anger was simply irrelevant. At that time, the whole person was like a cooked prawn.

Ouyang Bian understood Fu Bi's anger and despised Han Qi's inappropriateness in doing things.

Fu Bi and Han Qi were friends for many years. Even though they were in friendship, in terms of qualifications, one was the Privy Councilor and the other was the prime minister. They were also ministers of the same level. How could they become everyone?

In the past, when he was Renzong, Fu Bi was the prime minister and Han Qi was the Privy Councilor. Fu Bi was very respectful to Han Qi. As long as there was a big thing, he would definitely communicate with the Privy Council. Why is Han Qi arbitrarily in big things and small things now?

Fu Bi felt very uncomfortable and normal.

And there is another thing: Han Qi's position as prime minister was vacated when Fu Bi was in trouble.

Generally speaking, the prime minister Ding You, if state affairs are in need, the emperor can issue an order to regain his feelings.

Renzong did issue orders repeatedly to seize the love, but Fu Bi did not accept it and was determined to be Dingyou.

The reason is not because Fu Bi is so filial, but because Han Qi had already announced to the public that the capture of love was not a grand ceremony of the court, and it was suitable for wartime, but not for peace.

This is true, but at that time, Han Qi, who was the second minister, openly said such words, wasn’t this just forcing Fu Bi to return to his hometown to mourn?

Han Qi's approach made Fu Bi feel heartbroken.

Fu Bi was thinking about something Ouyang Bian was very clear about, but he could only comfort him a little. No matter what, his settlement with Han Qi was created.

Zhao Shu took power, and Han Qi made great contributions to Zhao Shu's succession and rule, so Zhao Shu trusted him very much, and Han Qi was able to monopolize the regime.

In order to show his filial piety to Renzong, Zhao Shu decided to compare Renzong's tomb to build the tomb of Zhenzong.

The luxury scale of Dingling was the most luxurious among the three emperors of the Song Dynasty. Because during the Zhenzong Dynasty, the national strength was very strong, the national treasury was abundant, and the financial resources were abundant, Dingling was built very luxuriously.

Many officials expressed concerns about this decision.

Su Xun, who had already gone to the Liyuan as an editor, had a lot of opinions on this.

He believed that if Han Qi insisted on burying Renzong with great care, he would want to die in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the eyes of a gentleman, he would be a sign of being unjust.

After hearing this, Ouyang Bian smirked for a long time. He probably turned Han Qi's face turned pale, but the matter of burying Renzong was persisted.

In order to build the tomb of Renzong, a total of 46,780 soldiers were mobilized, and 500,000 stags of grain and stone were mobilized.

Although Zhao Shu issued an edict saying: "The money and goods used in the mountain tomb will be given to the officials, so as not to disturb the people."

But the actual situation is, "Although the imperial edict was issued, the commission was transferred but the military service was transferred but it was never donated."

The third department appointed Zhang Fangping as the property manager of the Dingling Project. According to his budget, the entire project would cost 500,000 yuan.

Ouyang Bian just watched all this calmly, just 500,000 coins.

If it were in the past, it would be quite a lot of money for the treasury of the Song Dynasty, but now, 500,000 jin is just a tax for half a quarter of Fuyu Road.

However, Sima Guang jumped out.

Sima Guang submitted a memorial, and he wrote a letter to the court to allow ministers to voluntarily donate money to help the mountain tomb.

In this way, the late emperor was able to show his remaining love and his close ministers were able to fulfill his loyalty.

After Ouyang Bian learned about this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Sima Guang's innocence and loveliness are fully reflected in this memorial.

First, Sima Guang did not understand the economy of the court, and second, this promotion was ridiculous.

Zhao Shu, Han Qi and others naturally would not accept this suggestion.

Then Sima Guang actually took a group of censors to the relevant departments to donate money.

Ouyang Bian: “…”
