Zhao Ding did not lead any troops, although he openly took over the military power of the imperial army from Zhao Chen.
However, he had no intention of using his power to overwhelm others. He did not even leave any Forbidden Army members except the veteran Ma Zhong.
On the contrary, the soldiers and horses that had rushed in before were also withdrawn.
The momentum immediately relaxed.
But after relaxing, his orders were extremely explosive.
Standing here was a group of officials that made both Zhao Chen and Zhang Yong tremble. Although none of them were the six ministers, not even one of them was the deputy of the six ministers.
But they firmly control the middle and lower levels of the Song Dynasty.
And a considerable number of them are noble officials. These people are the legendary people with little ability and great reputation.
He has been honest and upright throughout his life, which is not of great benefit to the current situation or the government, but he is loyal and dares to remonstrate, and anyone dares to impeach him.
The only function of raising them is to tell scholars all over the world where the bottom line is.
If all these people are arrested, not to mention that the center will almost be paralyzed. The most important thing is the reputation...
"Dong Gong, is it a little bit if everyone is imprisoned..." Zhao Chen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Ding Gourd, but he still took the initiative to stand up and ask for some room for maneuver.
But Zhao Ding had no intention of agreeing. Instead, he gave Zhao Chen a solution directly in front of these people.
"Our Song Dynasty Central Committee is mainly composed of six departments, supplemented by other branches. At the same time, central officials will reduce their local experience every once in a while, and then re-appoint them based on their political performance.
Now these officials are roaring in court and disrespecting His Highness, which shows that they no longer have much loyalty in their hearts.
We will once again transfer officials from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Yongliang Prefectures to temporarily fill the positions with local officials from Guanzhong.
In this way, some officials can be transferred from Guanzhong within one day to ensure that the court can barely operate, three days can be rebuilt, and half a month can be enough to restore the court to its original state.
After all, the main body is still there, and none of the central officials of our Song Dynasty seem to have appeared.
Send these guys to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment so that Wan Qixi can inquire about who is secretly planning this! "
Not only were these people sent to the Ministry of Punishment, but the crimes they had committed were also determined.
I have to say that Zhao Ding frightened many people at this moment...
Even the old man who just threatened to let Chong Yong kill him is now a little dumbfounded.
Zhao Ding didn't say it, he really did it.
"General Ma Zhong, what are you waiting for?" After Zhao Ding snorted coldly, Ma Zhong on the side also bowed to accept the order, and then a large number of soldiers came in again.
This time they didn't surround them and do anything fancy.
Working in groups of two, they greeted each other with hemp ropes, and the soldiers cooperated, quickly twisting the officials one by one and sending them all to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
There they will also meet Geng Nanzhong, the veteran minister they miss.
Of course, there they will also see for the first time the shocked expression of Wan Qixi, a cruel official of the Song Dynasty, for the first time in his life.
"There are so many surprises today, so I have to greet you well..."
When Wan Qixi saw these North Korean and Chinese officials who were turned in front of him, a look of astonishment appeared, followed by a look of uncontrollable surprise.
Finally, I couldn't help but say this sentence.
Later, the one who is afraid will not be Wanqixuo, but the Gonggun princes in the court.
"Wan Qixiu, you dare to torture me..." This time the old man's words did not earn him respect, but only unbridled ridicule.
"Come, look over there. Geng Nanzhong, Duke Geng, said the same thing when he first came here. Now he has even explained clearly what is in his ancestral tomb.
Don't scare a certain family, just... unless you have never done anything bad since childhood, a certain family will definitely make your life worse than death and ruin your reputation! "
Wan Qixi's words made them feel cold all over for the first time.
At this time, in the palace, Zhang Yong and the troops of the Imperial City Division were also controlled. Since he did not dare and could not rebel, Zhang Yong did not dare to resist Zhao Ding's order even if he had all kinds of helplessness.
At this time, Zhao Ding represents Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen represents the official family.
If he doesn't resist, at most he will be punished, and if his rights are in question, he will just put his tail between his legs in the future.
But if he resisted today, and if one of his family members ran away the moment Zhao Huan came back, it would be all for nothing.
After everything was settled, Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Ding, who was looking down at him, and showed a helpless smile.
"Ding Gong is worthy of being the minister recognized by my father. To solve all this neatly and neatly is really... the style of a famous minister!"
Looking at Zhao Chen who couldn't hide his disappointment, Zhao Ding, the Minister of Household Affairs, shook his head.
"The old minister just suppressed this messy matter. This is the old minister's true nature as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Officials once said that in wartime, the Ministry of War is the main authority, in peace talks, the Ministry of Rites is the main authority, in people's livelihood, the Ministry of Household Affairs is the main authority, and the Ministry of Industry and Justice is the supplementary one.
Although it is wartime now, things are peaceful on the home front. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I was given the post of Grand Master by the government.
Naturally, I want to help His Highness stabilize the court.
These guys dare to threaten His Highness. I absolutely cannot sit idly by and ignore such a bastard thing. "
After Zhao Ding finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Chen, who was nodding his head above, and smiled lightly on his face.
"I have done my job well, and then it will be Your Highness's job.
How to stabilize this court, how many people to deploy, and how to deal with those people all need to be decided by Your Highness. "
"I heard that Wan Qixi is the most cruel person under my father's command. Will he take action..." After nodding his head, Zhao Chen's first thing was to care about these guys who were taken away. “The main reason is that there are indeed many veterans among them, and their health is not as good as before.
These people were supposed to enjoy their old age, but now they continue to teach and fight for the sake of the Song Dynasty.
Even though they were reckless about what happened today, they were a little ignorant of the importance.
But just because of this incident, they are like this... Doesn't this mean that I have become the person who kills the donkey? "
Zhao Ding listened quietly to Zhao Chen finishing all the words, then smiled and nodded.
"How to deal with these people is His Highness's business. Whether to let them go, keep them, kill them or punish them is all His Highness's decision.
They were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment by me. In the final analysis, it was just because they did not know the depth and respect for His Highness.
If your subordinates are willing to let them go, then I naturally have no objections. "
"But..." Zhao Chen still hesitated, "But if they are released, then I will recruit officials from all over the country..."
"The old minister just proposed a solution, but how to use it specifically is not something that His Highness should consider.
His Highness only needs to do his own thing and do what he wants to do well.
We will do the rest. Your Highness only needs to supervise us. "
Zhao Ding's words finally enlightened Zhao Chen completely, and finally made him understand what he should do, and at the same time, he showed a smile.
"In that case, I understand."
"Then, I will not disturb His Highness!"
"What else does Mr. Ding have to do?"
"There are still many things to do. The Imperial City Division's men have been captured, so the various secret agents in the supervisory area are naturally of no use.
If an army of soldiers and horses appears from Chaoge at this time, they can cross the Yellow River and attack near Luoyang.
At that time... Luoyang is in danger! "
Chao Ge goes south to Muye, then west to Hanoi, where he can reach Hulao, cross the Si River, and break Hulao. Then he can drive straight in and directly attack the city of Luoyang.
This route is no longer a secret.
However, Zhao Chen still feels that this is unlikely, or that it is not possible at all...
"Ding Gong may not know yet, but the war report came from the Ministry of War yesterday. The Jin people commander Nianhan tried to turn defeat into victory in a desperate situation, occupy Yecheng and defend it from danger.
As a result, my father had already prepared and left his general Yao Pingzhong to guard Yecheng.
The Jin people were unable to break through the gate after several days of fierce attack. Now General Yue Fei has personally led his army towards Yecheng.
The army is about to encircle, and Nianhan is now unable to escape! "
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he was still a little excited, as the young man from Jinren had heard of Yue Fei since he was a child.
The young men of the Song Dynasty naturally knew that there was one among the Jin people who could be compared with their number one general Yue Fei, or even the famous general Nianhan.
As the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Chen indeed felt bursts of excitement, and he knew it better than others.
If Nianhan dies, no one in the Jin Kingdom will be able to stop his father. When the time comes, several armies will attack him together, and the world will be settled!
Seeing such excited Zhao Chen, Zhao Ding once again lamented that Zhao Huan's vision was indeed good.
He actually opposed Zhao Huan to attack again with all his strength. After all, the Kingdom of Jin was already reckless enough. On his side, he said that the Kingdom of Jin was just a group of reckless men fighting.
What they did on the other side was even more reckless than the people in the Kingdom of Jin.
However, Zhao Huan also had his reasons.
It is not that the Song Dynasty has no famous generals, but the prince of the Song Dynasty is not suitable for expansion.
The world is settled in his hands, that is the best.
If not, it will be difficult to get rid of this matter. This prince is too kind and generous, as if he is like the light of the rising sun above the nine heavens, shining all over the world and reviving all things.
But being too kind also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is not enough to convince the public and can easily be taken advantage of.
Therefore, he needs a dark shadow to help him solve all the dirty things in the world.
