In March, the last heavenly book of Emperor Zhenzong appeared. This is a complete political trick. Let’s start with one person - the eunuch Zhou Huaizheng.

This name appeared when the Book of Heaven first came, when he climbed up the ladder and picked the yellow silk. After that, whenever Zhao Heng worshiped God, he would walk the closest position to the Book of Heaven. So he became successful. At this time, his position was "Administer of the Inner" and this was the person closest to the Emperor and Empress, and was destined to be able to summon the wind and rain. At this time, Zhou Huaizheng also had the Master of Heaven, and then he was the Master of the Deputy Master, and there were also the Master of the Deputy Master, and there were also the Master of the Underworld. So he was a role of the head and the general. Want to climb up? The method he came up with was both internal and external, and mixed the Song Dynasty with both inside and outside.

In the first step, he first found a military officer named Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng was originally a diner of Tian Min, a powerful general at the border. As a diner, he must have extraordinary abilities. Zhu Neng's strength is Taoism. So Tian Min satisfies his preferences and recommended him to the emperor. In this way, Tian Min made the emperor happy, and Zhu Neng quickly became famous in the palace and became the imperial medicine envoy. Later, he was released as an inspector of Yongxing Army and the governor of Jiezhou, and became a famous military officer outside the capital.

Through Zhu Neng, Zhou Huaizheng carefully implemented his plan. This was very difficult. First, he wanted to overthrow Wang Qinruo. This required a precise grasp of the time. Wang Qinruo had a process from falling out of favor to falling. If it was launched after the fall, it would be meaningless. But this could be completely overcome because Zhou Huaizheng's information in the palace was extremely sensitive. Second, he wanted to push Kou Zhun, the governor of the East Road of Shandong and the governor of Yongxing Army, to the front office again. Third, he had to deal with the emperor. Zhao Heng was upset with Kou Zhun, which is known to the whole world. How can Zhao Heng be willing to reward the position of prime minister?

For Kou Zhun, Zhou Huaizheng seized the biggest flaw of this person - the love for power. A real man should not be powerless for a day, and he also spends money like flowing water, which must be achieved by high officials and generous salaries. And one thing is that for Kou Zhun, there is only one goal in the officialdom, that is, the prime minister. In addition, any position is an insult to him! Then tempting him to the prime minister will definitely succeed... Kou Zhun has good power, so what is the emperor good? Zhou Huaizheng used his brain and thought about it. With his years of experience working with the emperor, he finally came up with a solution...

Zhou Huaizheng's method is commonly known as "counter-to-squat". The main method is that he is C and wanders between A and B. He said to A: B agreed, and at the same time, he said to B: A asked him to come. The image metaphor is an upgraded version of "Fox-fake Tiger Power". 2 tigers pinching each other face the same fox, but in their eyes, they all think that the fox is too big and must not be messed with...

The specific operation is as follows: First, Zhu Neng "discovered" the Heavenly Book in Qianyou County, within the territory of Yongxing Army. This is very convenient. Zhu Neng is the local inspector. This will push Kou Zhun, the highest commander of Yongxing Army, to the forefront. What should I do? Agree? But Kou Zhun is the representative of integrity and the incarnation of toughness, and has been criticizing the God-making movement! So oppose? This is seeking death! In the past 10 years, the "Sky Book Story" has become the first national policy of the Song Dynasty. A demoted minister dares to kill the Heavenly Book in the cradle? Then you are not only deceiving the king, but you are deceiving the heavenly!

So Kou Zhun pretended to be deaf and dumb, and I didn't care about the whole thing, right? But at the same time, Zhou Huaizheng found the emperor: The Book of Heaven is coming again, and God will bless him again, and this time it is different, and the landing point is in Kou Zhun's territory!

Just imagine Zhao Heng's mood at this time. The locust plague had just ended. He was seriously ill, mentally distorted, and mentally abnormal. As a result, he suddenly got the Heavenly Book again... Oh my God! It wasn't God forgave me, I really wrote a letter, right? So the emperor was moved and privately summoned a minister (some say it was Wang Dan, but Wang Dan was dead at this time) and asked if this matter was reliable? The minister replied, "Since he is in the jurisdiction of Kou Zhun, let Kou Zhun report to the court. He has always not believed in Heavenly Books. If he came to offer Heavenly Books, only the people in the world would believe it."

Everything is done! This sentence was passed into Kou Zhun's ears intact. The person who spoke changed slightly and became Emperor Zhao Heng.

But don’t worry, Kou Zhun refused the first time: I don’t believe in the heavenly book, I have to check this matter. Even if it is true, I don’t care about it!

Zhou Huaizheng had expected that he went around the house called Wang Shu. Then a letter signed by Wang Shu was sent to Yongxing Army, and Kou Zhun was dealt with.

Wang Shu was Kou Zhun's son-in-law. He told his father-in-law the message that Wang Qinruoji would soon stop his prefecture. He also hinted that as long as you obey the emperor's will, who else can be the prime minister?

Kou Zhun was confused. The contrast between power and ethics, beliefs and desires is so strong. How can we be the "Kou Zhun" in people's minds... As a result, he failed to surpass his historical limitations. After all, Kou Zhun's profession was to be an official in the Song Dynasty. Is it wrong to be more dedicated?

The last heavenly book of Zhenzong Dynasty was reported to the court by Kou Zhun. On April 4, the heavenly book was welcomed into Kaifeng. At that time, it was obvious that this was a complete political trick and many people opposed it for various purposes. People from both sides of the good and evil jumped out.

Including Sun Shi, Lu Daozong, and the boss of Tianshu Wang Qinruo. The first two people have been opposed by them. The one behind them has suffered self-esteem. Tianshu has always been my patent, but it has been infringed and has been a mortal enemy for many years. No! We must object!

But the situation was out of control at this time, and it was too late for Kou Zhun to repent...

On May 28, Kou Zhun came to Kaifeng. Before coming, a guest of his visit had warned him that "this trip is dangerous. The best strategy: When you walk to Heyang, you claim to be sick and will never enter the court, but only be a local official. The first strategy: Even if you enter the court, you must expose the falsehood of the Qianyou Heavenly Book in public places above the hall, so as to preserve your life's innocence. If you must be the prime minister, that is a bad strategy."

Kou Zhun was furious, how do you know the ambition of the Prime Minister! You can kill Wang Qinruo here, a palace of great maps, and the book of heaven is just a temporary stopgap. I will go to power with this, but I am still me, how can the people in the world despise my reputation? But everything that has developed has long exceeded Kou Zhun's expectations...

On June 3, Ding Wei also returned to the court. This is a huge disaster! Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Qinruo... All the heroes in a personal world were beaten by Ding Dazhi's traitor. "Ding Wei Zhizhi" was officially staged!

Wang Qinruo's fate confirmed a very ruthless and especially boring old saying: it is a kind of sadness to try hard to grab something but can't get it. But if you try hard to grab it, you find that the thing is meaningless at all, it is double the sadness...

On the 9th, Wang Qinruo stopped his preface. The reason was that someone sued him for taking bribes. Wang Qinruo was furious. In order to prove his innocence, he asked to use the national professional review agency Censorate to investigate the matter. He must have been in a daze that day and did not see Zhao Heng's expression becoming worse and worse. Finally, the emperor said coldly, "Is the state setting up Censorate to investigate private affairs for others?" Wang Qinruo was stunned. When he understood, he wanted to despise himself to death. This mistake was like Kou Zhun back then, and he was anxious to confess his love in front of the emperor, but even the minimum official body was lost. That day he escaped from the palace, probably in a mess, even the sarcoma on his neck was trembling...

On the 13th, Kou Zhun and Ding Wei returned to the prime minister. Now let’s take a look at the heads of the East and West Prefectures: Prime Minister of the Secretariat of the Eastern Prefecture: Xiang Minzhong, Kou Zhun (Xiang Minzhong died on March 28 of the following year, Kou Zhun will become the prime minister) General Secretary: Li Di, Ding Wei. Privy Councilor of the Western Prefecture: Cao Yong.

Another person would also like to introduce: Qian Weiyan, the second son of King Qian Chu of Wu Yue, and the Hanlin scholar Qian Weiyan. He would become the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor on August 6 of the following year (on the same day, the king was appointed as the political affairs officer of the government). The big bitch is used to surprise others on his birthday. So like Li Yu, Qian Chu had already died at his birthday party. Qian Weiyan learned his lesson, was cautious, consolidated his status with nepotism, and was friendly to everyone. He married Ding Wei's daughter as his daughter-in-law, and then married his sister to Gong Mei, the ex-husband of Queen Liu E. Such a small act of exchanging kinship naturally formed a very private circle, and outsiders could not even insert it. The harem began to lean towards Ding Wei's group, but it was still a little sway because Kou Zhun had not made His Majesty the Queen despair...

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's husband being insane, "Wu Zetian of the Northern Song Dynasty" Liu E and Empress Liu officially came out! Her ex-husband Gong Mei is now named Liu Mei, and she changed her surname to the queen's brother-in-law and the emperor's brother-in-law. Liu E appointed Liu Mei as the guard Sima Jundu Yuhou, and was actually in charge of the affairs of the company. She captured half of the military power in the capital, and then went to find helpers with her, but she ended up hitting a series of walls...

She first rushed to Liu Zong, Kaifeng Prefecture, implying that they were all surnamed Liu and we were relatives. As a result, Liu Zong retreated: No, Queen, I am from Hezhong Prefecture, I am too far from you... There is no way, she rushed to summon another minister Liu Ye. This time the strategy changed, and she said directly - Liu Qing's family, bring your family tree, we are probably the same clan. Liu Ye's reply was very humble, "I dare not, I really dare..." As for why I didn't dare, why didn't I dare but say nothing, Liu E was tacit, shy, and there was no following...

This is the situation when a generation of female heroes first appeared on the stage of history. She hoped that a powerful old minister would be her backer. As long as Kou Zhun expressed his friendship with him, he would immediately win the friendship of His Majesty the Queen. From then on, the world is invincible...

But all these advantages were completely destroyed by Kou Zhun in a very short time, forcing everyone to the opposite side, and they will die together in the end... In theory, this is not simple, not everyone can do it, right?

It is said that for work needs, the Dongfu Group of the Song Dynasty had to solve lunch on the spot in the Political Affairs Hall. This day, I drank vegetable soup. Kou Zhun ate and drank heavily, but when he looked up, he found that his beard was full. He saw that the deputy prime minister of the Political Affairs, Mr. Ding suddenly started and rushed to Kou Zhun's table before all the waiters. Then he took out his handkerchief and carefully stroked the superior.

Very considerate, but Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Is the assistant to the government to take care of the superiors?" It is said that the word "flattering" was born from then on and spread to all directions, and at the same time, it also made Lord Ding's behavior immortal...

Official history books of the Song Dynasty confirmed that this was the beginning of Ding Wei's resentment against Kou Zhun and the formation of a clique to frame Kou Zhun. This should be true, but this is Ding Wei's side, and Kou Zhun's side? I think he just wanted to humiliate Ding Wei, but he was really just exhaling his anger. He never thought that Ding Wei would dare to become his enemy...

Ding Wei was also very sober. He still went to and from get off work every day, greeting people with a smile, just pretending that what happened that day had never happened. But he was intensifying his activities secretly, mainly to find forces that could overwhelm Kou Zhun. This was difficult, but the goal was extremely accurate, and he pointed directly at Empress Liu in the harem. Apart from her, no one in the empire was the opponent of Kou Zhun anymore. Liu E needed help, so anxious that she was a little hungry and was willing to work together to get rid of the prime minister who was ten thousand times more prestige than her power. Why did His Majesty the Queen do this? To build relationships, why didn't he directly pull the prime minister? Since ancient times, the queen has been plotted by her ministers to be disgraced. Liu E didn't have to go to this mess. So Ding Wei had to wait...

Besides, Cao Yong. Kou Zhun always acted according to the superiors and subordinates of the two people in the Chanyuan Alliance. At that time, Cao Yong was just a soldier, but he came out of Chengzhou City. Liaoying ran like a flat ground, and was the coolest one at that time. It was probably the coolest one at that time. But Cao Dabing is now the Privy Councilor and the top leader of the Western Prefecture. Kou Zhun also yelled at others from time to time, "What do you know about national affairs?"

There is no need to endure it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore! Cao Yong and Qian Weiyan's Privy Council also stood on Ding Wei's side.

In April of the fourth year of Tianxi (1020), Kou Zhun made the biggest mistake in his life. Qiongzhou reported that local official Wang Mengzheng occupied the salt well and cut off his life. Kou Zhun sent someone to investigate, and it was true, so he punished according to law!

But have you checked Wang Mengzheng's background? That is the father-in-law of the queen's ex-husband Liu Mei's son! The relationship is twisted, but after all, he is the only "direct relative" that His Majesty can trust. In the face of huge unspoken officialdom rules, is it important to maintain the subtle justice? Or is it better to make some adjustments and give a warning?

Kou Zhun chose justice, and the salt well returned to the original owner, at the cost of His Majesty the Queen's anger...

On May 14, Yelu Zizhong, who had been detained by Goryeo for more than 6 years, returned to the Great Khitan and brought back the above statement of King Wang Xun of Goryeo to pay tribute to another Liao envoy, Jerali, who was roughly the same as his detention time. On the 15th, the Liao emperor issued an edict to forgive Wang Xun for his crime and allow him to ask... The Great Khitan and Goryeo finally reconciled.

One day in June, Zhao Heng, who was sick, rested his head on the thigh of the caring eunuch Zhou Huaizheng, suddenly sighed and said how good it would be if the prince could supervise the country...

On that day, the emperor fell asleep in a drowsy (historical proved that Zhao Hengshi's memory of good and bad is the most terrifying time in this period). Zhou Huaizheng stood up gently and immediately went out of the palace to find Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun was shocked! The matter was too sudden. The emperor was not dead yet, but the prince wanted to supervise the country, and it was the eunuch in the palace who came to pass on it. Time went back 20 years ago, and he himself said in person, "Your Majesty chose a king for the world, and you should not plot against women. You should not plot against the official..." This was his response to Zhao Guangyi's words back then. Such things would turn into coups or conspiracies at any time. So is Zhou Huaizheng trustworthy at this time? Kou Zhun chose to be cautious and chose an opportunity to meet Zhao Heng alone. The monarch and ministers looked at each other, and the law was not passed on to six ears. At this time, he solemnly asked: Should the prince be supervised and demoted Ding Wei? The emperor nodded in a true way and ensured that it was true.
Chapter completed!
