Ding Wei was like Kou Zhun at the time. After he settled both civil and military sides, he spread his temper to the two most holy people at that time - Song Renzong Zhao Zhen and Empress Dowager Liu E.

It happened that one day, 13-year-old little Zhao Zhen suddenly felt very uncomfortable and said he would not get up. But the morning court time came, and he had to go out to see people, because the ministers would wait in the front hall to summon him on time. Once this matter was spread, all the subjects would lose respect for the young emperor who had not taken power. So Empress Dowager Liu issued an order, asking the ministers and ministers to come to her to discuss matters first. And let everyone not worry, the emperor was just too young and was a little sleeping today.

But when this matter was reported to the Political Affairs Hall, the prime ministers were silent. Everyone thought it was very difficult. Because the little emperor and the queen mother lived separately. At this time, the queen mother asked the ministers to come to her to work. What is this? The queen mother did not have to rule the government behind the curtain, but to do so alone!

Things were not complicated at all. The top court officials of the Song Dynasty instantly interpreted what Empress Dowager Liu’s subtext was. But what should we do? They were silent. Because there was one person missing in the political affairs hall at that time: Prime Minister Ding Wei took sick leave that day and did not come to work.

After thinking about it, the second prime minister Feng Zheng told the eunuch who came to pass the order, please report to the empress dowager first, and Gong Ding will come later. We will discuss it after he comes. We will immediately send someone to inform Ding Wei about what to do, please give us instructions quickly.

Ding Wei appeared immediately. This man went straight to the palace, threw all his colleagues aside, and fought against the empress dowager one by one. His words were high-sounding and righteous. "I have only heard that the emperor has passed on treasures and received the inheritance. If the great power is transferred to other places, the country will be ignored and it is difficult to follow it." Ding Wei held high the family rules of his ancestors and the tablets of the previous emperor, and smashed Liu E, who was also in a speechless manner.

Afterwards, Ding Wei turned around and left the palace and came to the Political Affairs Hall, "How can you be like this? Why wait for me? You should have rejected it directly." All the prime ministers bowed their heads and listened to the training.

Ding Wei felt a little more happy and went to the locker room to change his clothes. It turned out that he was anxious and rushed into the palace for some reason. Behind him, Feng Zheng's face turned pale and he quietly said to the political affairs officer Lu Daozong of the Communist Party of China, "This man just wants to be Duke Zhou himself, but let us be Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo."

No matter what, Ding Wei had everything going well in the first period of the Renzong Dynasty. Next, as the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, he should do another important thing.

To build a tomb for the late emperor Zhao Heng. In feudal society, this was the top priority after the new emperor ascended the throne. But starting from Zhao Kuangyin, emperors of the Song Dynasty almost chose a cemetery for themselves and built a cemetery before they died. That was not enough. Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly. After choosing a cemetery, he would not know that there would be a "candlelight and axe shadow" Zhao Guangyi's arrow was injured for his life in less than a year. In the end, he was mentally perverted and he became a habit of avoiding medical treatment. Who dared to mention the word "death" with him? He also built a tomb in advance? Zhao Heng was determined to meet with the gods and demons of the nine heavens and ten earths, and was afraid that he would not be able to recover after death. Therefore, his tomb was never built.

So on February 21, two days after Zhao Heng's death, Ding Wei served as the privileged mission of the prime ministers of all dynasties - the Shanmaster Envoy. He decided that the tomb should be completed before the end of July. This problem arises: the tomb should be built in Gong County, Luoyang, which Zhao Kuangyin chose during his lifetime. However, the Kaifeng City cannot be separated from Ding Wei for a moment. Do you have to travel between him? It is too unkind and you have to find a substitute to be successful.

Ding Wei's nightmare made a grand appearance: the eunuch Lei Yungong! At this time, the eunuch Lei had become the only bridge between the palace and the outside world. Not only the emperor, but the empress dowager looked at him differently, even Ding Wei, who was at the peak, had "deep virtues" over him. Because without him, Ding Wei would lose control of the interior of the palace.

So Eunuch Lei felt that he was despised. The "Mountain Mausoleum Affairs" is a symbol of great glory and privilege. The cats and dogs all went to take charge of the overall situation. Why was the number one eunuch in my dignified palace isolated? This is not possible! So he directly found Empress Dowager Liu and strongly asked to stand the last post for the late emperor. Just let me dig a grave... But Liu E shook her head, "Lei, you have to think clearly. It's not that I don't let you go. But considering that you have entered the palace since childhood and have never been in foreign affairs. Once you get outside, you don't know too many things. Now you are in a high position and have a high position and the subordinates dare not disobey you. What if you make a mistake? That will hurt you." But Lei Yungong cried and howled, and he must go...

So he got what he wanted. Liu E gave him the identity of the Shanmath Superintendent and went to Luoyang to preside over the grand building. Behind his excited and rushing all the way, Ding Wei and Liu E must have both showed two completely different faces.

Ding: Damn it! It’s better to succeed than to defeat things! The emperor is important if he dies, or the emperor who is alive now. The empress dowager is threatened? What should I do if something happens when I run so far? Are you not the same as me now?

Liu: Hehe. This is what you asked for... Everything in the Ai family satisfyes you...

On March 6, Eunuch Lei rushed to the coolest grave digging site at that time and immediately entered the role. At this time, Xing Zhonghe, the top Feng Shui master of the Song Dynasty, suddenly made a new discovery. He found Eunuch Lei and solemnly reported that "according to the latest Feng Shui research, if the tomb of the late emperor's tomb is 100 steps up, it will be great benefits for future generations like the Qin King's tomb in Ruzhou." Lei Yungong immediately shone with his eyes, "What are you waiting for? Dig quickly?" "But..." Xing Zhonghe became hesitant, "I'm afraid there are too many stones there, and there will be groundwater." That is the most taboo thing in the construction of a tomb. When the shady house enters the water, the dead are uneasy,

The living is unfilial. This is a huge crime. But Lei Yungongji completely couldn't hear any negative warnings, "Don't talk nonsense! The last emperor had only one descendant today. If it was really beneficial to descendants like the tomb of the King of Qin, then change the place immediately and dig it immediately." Xing Zhonghe continued to shake his head. "Change the emperor's grave, which requires more than one procedure. It will never be completed in July. Please think twice." But Lei Yungong asked him to shut up completely, "I'll go to meet the queen mother now. What procedures will be taken for this small matter? As long as I speak, there will be nothing wrong. You start work immediately and move the grave immediately! If it is delayed, we only ask."

Liu E couldn't understand. Just a few days after Lei Yungong left the palace, he suddenly jumped back and told her that her man's grave has now risen by 100 steps, and many emperors will have great benefits from it... What are the benefits? Are you there any share of me, Liu E?

Liu E said lightly, "This is a big thing. Why is this easy to do so?" This is very powerful. How can you do the big thing in the emperor's tomb? You, an eunuch, do whatever you want? You think things too simple and take the royal family too easily? But Lei Yungong's answer has lost the minimum awareness and the eunuch's obedience. "What should we do if we make the last emperor suitable for his descendants?" He forced Empress Liu back. Liu E endured it and said, "You go to find the Shanmao envoy to see what he said."

But the Shanming Envoy Ding Wei made the biggest and only mistake in his life for some reason. He knew that it was impossible, but did not object to it in person, but did not argue and vaguely. Lei Yungong immediately turned around and rushed back to the empress dowager. "The Shanming Envoy did not object." Liu E had nothing to say. Then listen to you, dig...

But immediately afterwards, everything made Xing Zhonghe understand. The new tomb was built with big stones and groundwater rolling. Lei Yungong was stunned, and the groundwater made him feel cold.

Xia Shouen is the general contractor for the construction of the tomb. If the construction cannot be completed as scheduled in July, he will be in trouble. On May 23, he reported the project situation to the court truthfully and requested to change the location of the tomb, otherwise it would be difficult to complete. Prime Minister Ding Wei could only make mistakes again and again to cover up Lei Yungong.

But the paper cannot keep the fire. On the 25th, Mao Changda came back from the construction site. He was a little eunuch, able to go straight to the palace and meet the emperor and the empress dowager. So Liu E knew everything. Ding Wei also knew that something was wrong, so he ordered Lan Jizong and Wang Chengxun to inspect the construction site. On the 27th, Liu E ordered Yang Huaiyu, and on the 28th, Luo Chongxun and Li Weixin went to investigate. Ding Wei's personnel arrangements had lost trust in the empress dowager...

Lei Yungong wanted to go back to the court with the construction drawings to see the queen mother in person. The queen mother refused to allow it. She ordered Luo Chongxun and others to interrogate the local area. On June 3, Ma Renjun was sent to interrogate together.

The case became increasingly serious. On the 5th, Lu Yijian, Lu Zongdao, and on the 6th, the deputy governor Wang Zeng went to Gong County to check. Everyone agreed that the tomb should be changed. Lei Yungong was unwilling to move the imperial tomb without forgiveness!

At the same time, Eunuch Lei's other crimes were also revealed: theft of 3110 taels of gold, 4630 taels of silver, 1800 pieces of brocade, 43600 beads, 56 taels of jade, and a rhino belt originally intended to be used for burial and 70 taels of medicine... On June 22, Lei Yungong was beaten to death by sticks and his family was sent to his family.

This was just an opportunity. The unswerving move of the imperial tomb quickly turned into a fuse and blew up another person. The first famous minister of the Renzong Dynasty began his own journey of fame and fortune...

Wang Zeng instantly put together several things. Lei Yungong, Luoyang and Shanming Deputy Envoy, was seriously dereliction of duty; Ding Wei, Kaifeng and Shanming Official Envoy, were not on the scene... But he instructed Lei Yungong to do so.

In order to make this idea come true, Wang Zeng played another trick. One day, he said to other ministers like a chat, "It's so sad, I don't have a son yet..." Everyone agreed. It's so sad... But Wang Zeng continued, "But luckily, my younger brother has a lot of sons, and he agreed. He divided me one, and after he retired from the court tomorrow, I will ask the Queen Mother alone." Everyone agreed again, and their eyes seemed very happy and ambiguous. I didn't expect that you, Wang Zeng, also today, and you have to seek favors for your future "son" like us (the children of officials do not need to have a background in the imperial examination). This is very good. In the future, everyone is usually ill-mouthed, so you can't nag us with this.

So the next day after resigning from the court, Wang Zeng met with the empress dowager alone. When he carefully said the unique creativity of tying Lei Yungong and Ding Wei together, he believed that Liu E was very excited... She finally hoped that someone would dare to take the initiative to help her deal with Ding Wei! You must know that even the strongest emperor needed the assistance of his ministers. Moreover, she was just a widow who had just died. The situation was stronger than that of others. If all the court officials were silent to the end, even if she was Wu Zetian, she could only choose to endure it.

Wang Zeng took the risk to find out the sincerity of Empress Dowager Liu, and he had to confirm another crucial thing. If this matter was not done well, he and Liu E were both seeking death. If other ministers of the prime minister showed their identity and position, whether your surname is Ding or Liu, stand in the team immediately!

So that day, Ding Wei was called to the palace by Empress Dowager Liu. The empress dowager and the emperor asked Ding Wei to explain the situation. Ding Wei tried hard to defend himself and distinguish himself from Lei Yungong's pig-headed behavior. Since he started his speech, the curtain was quiet, without interrupting him from beginning to end, and without scolding or accusing him. So he kept saying repeatedly, suddenly a small eunuch appeared, "Who is the husband talking to? The empress dowager and the emperor have left long ago." This is not reprimanding or contempt, nor accusing or insulting! The prime minister of the dynasty was invincible in the whole country, but he was fooled by others in the face of a cloud of air.

On that day, Ding Wei had no choice but to hold a tablet in his hand and kowtowed and retreated. The news quickly spread throughout the officialdom, and everyone knew what kind of fool Ding Wei had just made.

The alliance was formed instantly. Liu E, Wang Zeng, Feng Zheng and Cao used several heads to contact each other, and the plan to defeat D was introduced.

On March 8, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, Xue Yikuo, came to the Great Khitan to inform the news that Zhao Heng had passed away and Zhao Zhen ascended the throne. On June 21, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, Xue Tian, ​​sent the relics of Song Zhenzong to the Great Khitan. The 52-year-old Liao Shengzong, Yelu Longxu, personally delivered a lecture and summoned all the ministers of the Fan and Han dynasties to mourn Zhao Heng. He also told his prime minister, Mi Demao, that "the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was too young, and if this child did not know what kind of war and peace happened back then, he had ulterior motives.

That's really unimaginable." At this moment, the envoy of the Song Dynasty's mourning arrived. After the two sides colluded, the Emperor Shengzong of Liao felt a little better. It turned out that my sister-in-law was so amazing. He turned around and said to his Empress Xiao, "You can write a letter to the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, so that you can spread your name to China." Then he ordered the establishment of a mourning hall for Zhao Heng at the Minzhong Temple in Fanyang and a 100-day temple. He also ordered that no place names or names in the country were allowed to violate Zhao Heng's taboo.

On June 25th, all the ministers of the prime minister had lunch at Zishan Hall. Suddenly, the harem was summoned and everyone had a share, except Ding Wei. He was left alone at the dining table.

Ding Wei's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood what was going to happen. For the first time in his life, he showed his timidity in front of others, asking his colleagues, hoping to speak a few good words for him in front of the empress dowager. The senior officials looked different, but they just smiled gracefully at him... Only Qian Weiyan responded to his "do his best, no big worries." Feng Zheng, next to him, immediately glared at him fiercely, Qian Weiyan shut up immediately, and the group did not delay, walked out of the Zishan Hall, leaving Ding Wei alone to face the remaining soup...

In Chengming Palace, Empress Dowager Liu looked serious, "Ding Wei, as the prime minister, but he had communicated with Lei Yungong, what crime should he be punished?" Feng Zheng immediately agreed, "Since the death of the late emperor, Ding Wei and Lei Yungong have agreed to tell us that they had received the imperial edict. We don't know whether it is true or false, so we have to do it. Fortunately, his evil intentions are exposed, which is really a blessing for the heavenly clan society." Then the ministers said one by one, and Ding Wei's crimes became more and more. Empress Dowager Liu even wanted to eliminate harm for the people and killed Ding Wei. But this matter was difficult to do. Emperor Taizu had the family law of his ancestors who did not kill ministers, which was related to everyone's personal interests. This must not be opened! Feng Zheng immediately asked the empress dowager to be kind to the grounds that the new emperor had only been 4 months after he ascended the throne. Liu E was slightly calmed down and ordered Feng Zheng and others to discuss immediately what to do.

The deputy minister of the government affairs, Ren Zhongzheng, asked Ding Wei for a letter of love, and asked to convict him according to the "Eight Discussions". Wang Zeng immediately refuted that "Ding Wei was unfaithful and offended the ancestral temple. He has been included in the "Ten Evil Discussions", and what "Eight Discussions" can be said?" Finally, Ding Wei decided to abolish the prime minister and to use the prince Taibao to guard Xijing. On the 28th, Ren Zhongzheng was also dismissed. (To be continued)
