Chapter 432 Wu Zhi Promoted to Prime Minister!

Zeng Bu was also a little excited when he heard Wu Zhi's idea: "Anyway, I don't have a schedule. If I can really become Yanyun's teacher and educate the younger generations there, it will be a blessing in my later years!"

Wu Zhi nodded: "That's the decision! When Zeng Xiang leaves, I will send someone to escort him, and give Zeng Xiang the best treatment!"

"Hey, King Yan, you don't have to be polite, this old man doesn't value these things anymore!"

Zeng Bu shook his head with a smile on his face.

He sometimes feels that if he didn't know Wu Zhi at the beginning, he might not have such a good vision for his old age.

One day when Yan Yun took it back, he might not be able to see it!
It was also very pleasant for the two of them to chat together.

As time passed slowly...

Zeng Bu was very happy and talked about some interesting things in the past.

Open up the chatterbox and say a few words about everything.

The two chatted and forgot the time.

It was late at night that Wu Zhi left the mansion...

When going to court the next day.

Because Wu Zhi's wife was pregnant, he hadn't arrived at the court hall yet. Officials in the outer square saw Wu Zhi one after another, and they all came to express their congratulations.

When Mrs. Wu Zhi was pregnant, officials in Bianjing were very concerned.

They line up to congratulate Moo-sik.

These people are very interesting. When I was with Zhang Lingduo and others in the court, many people stood up and wanted to kill Wu Zhi.

Now congratulate Wu Zhi as if nothing happened, as if it wasn't Wu Zhi who they opened their mouths to kill a few days ago.

Now congratulations are more diligent than one.

As if they were all Wu Zhi's relatives, they were extremely enthusiastic, with smiles on their faces, making you think they were really your friends.

In fact, these guys are all superficial, and their inner thoughts and behaviors are inconsistent.Don't look at their smiling faces, they're all acting according to the wind, as long as you can't do it, you can directly trample your character to death.

Of course, if this were not the case, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the court. This is all a group of intrigues, and Wu Zhi does not reject these.

It's an indelible part of being human.

Wu Zhi let him die a few days ago, and now those who congratulate him will not be cold-faced, a smiling face is always on his face.

now.

Everyone went to court.

Song Huizong has been very happy recently, so his complexion is relatively good.

After everyone experienced Zhang Lingduo's case, many courtiers were very quiet.

They were also worried that King Yan would pursue those who had spoken that day afterwards.

In fact, they were thinking too much, and Wu Zhi didn't have the time to deal with them one by one.

As long as he doesn't jump out to trouble him, he doesn't want to clean up anyone.

But his new law cannot be stopped under any circumstances.

It is impossible to say that this affected the interests of some people. Wu Zhi was a courtier of the Song Dynasty and an official of the people all over the world, rather than living for scholar-bureaucrats.

Some time ago, when Wu Zhi was not in the court, the debate here was extremely fierce.

It's no big deal now.

at this time.

Zeng Bu came forward.

Suddenly saluted and knelt before His Majesty.

Song Huizong: "Master Zeng does not need to perform this grand ceremony, is there anything to play?"

Zeng Bu: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have something very important to tell Your Majesty!"

Song Huizong: "Oh? Zeng Xiang has something to say, please tell me quickly!"

Zeng preached: "Your Majesty, today is the last time I will go to court. I have already handed in the memorial about my retirement. I am almost seventy this year. I have been an official in the court for more than 50 years.

I thought I did my best during the official period and had no regrets in my heart. However, in recent years, Weichen has become more and more unwell. Weichen occupies such an important position in the Song Dynasty, but his health is getting worse every day, so it is more appropriate to give up his position. people. "

"Of course, after I retired, I still hope to work for the Great Song Dynasty. I plan to go to Yanyun to be a teacher and educate the young people there so that they can work for the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Today, I will see His Majesty for the last time, and I hope His Majesty will make it happen... Now that Yanyun has recovered, it is my wish to visit Yanyun for so many years! I hope His Majesty will grant you!"

Zeng Bu's words shocked the entire court.

When Song Huizong heard this, his face was stunned, and he instinctively didn't want to agree, but seeing Zeng Bu's face today, it was as old as the surface of a walnut.

If Zeng Bu really wanted to retire, and Song Huizong insisted on refusing, I'm afraid he couldn't bear it!
Zeng Bu still played a great role in the court. With him, Song Huizong would have one more useful person. If Zeng Bu was suddenly missing, Song Huizong would still be a little uncomfortable.

Hey!
Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty glanced at Zeng Bu and said, "Since Zeng Xiang has made a plan, if I try to persuade him to stay, it may seem unrighteous. Since it is Zeng Xiang's wish to go to Yanyun, I agree... let's go now." Afterwards, Zeng Xiang has to take care of his health!"

"Zeng Xiang has worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for so many years. Now that I have retired, I have nothing to help you. I can only promise that one day with my presence, your descendants of the Zeng family will be able to benefit from the court..."

In fact, for Zeng Bu, this was extremely fancy.

This kind of commitment can almost guarantee that during Song Huizong's stay, the descendants of his Zengbu family will not be suppressed, and they can still have their own place in the court.

It can guarantee the longevity of the family.

This is also because Zeng Bu did a lot of things for the Song Dynasty, so that Song Huizong was so gracious.

Zeng Bu was speechless, he knelt down and kowtowed to Song Huizong a few times, and called Long live Long live, Long live long, long live long, tears came into his eyes.

Zeng Bu didn't just leave directly.

Before he left, he gave His Majesty advice and recommended the position to someone.

This person is naturally Wu Zhi.

And said a lot of words about how suitable Wu Zhi is for this position.

There were two prime ministers in the Song Dynasty, and the left and right assisted each other.

You can also share some cumbersome affairs, which can check and balance each other.

Hearing Zeng Bu's remonstrance, Song Huizong was quite happy.

He had always wanted to promote Wu Zhi.It's just Cai Jing and Zeng Bu. He is only willing to move Cai Jing for these two people, but if Cai Jing moves, the situation in the court will inevitably cause great turmoil.

So he didn't move for the time being, and Empress Xiansu also advised him not to move Cai Jing.

This matter is still in his heart.

Now that Zeng Bu retired and was recommended by Zeng Bu, Wu Zhi came up very well.

There is no need for him to say anything.

Song Huizong immediately agreed, and said: "I, yes, the king of Yan subdued Yanyun, pacified the Liao and Jin countries, made great contributions to our Song Dynasty, and was deeply supported by the people all over the world. The proposal is very good, I will immediately canonize Wu Zhi as the right minister of the Great Song Dynasty, a first-class one!"

Doctor Yushi next to you, hurry up and write down what His Majesty said.

Seeing this scene, Cai Jing's face changed slightly.

But back to normal soon.

Right side?

Cai Jing felt a little awkward in his heart, Wu Zhi had already reached this level at such a young age, and he had a handle in his hands, so he could only watch this kind of thing happen.

At this moment, Song Huizong suddenly looked at Cai Jing: "Master Cai, I canonize Wu Zhi as prime minister, do you have any objection?"

"My love, what do you think?"

Cai Jing was speechless in his heart, they had already been canonized, and it seemed redundant to ask them.

But it was just a matter of face, after all, everyone present had to agree.

Cai Jing said with a smile: "King Yan has made many achievements for the Song Dynasty, so it is no problem to be canonized as a prime minister, and the humble minister has no objection!"

"I have no objection!"

"My minister has no objection!"

Many courtiers stood up, but they had few objections.

First of all, it was recommended by Zeng Bu, and secondly, Wu Zhi did have a lot of credit. His Majesty probably already had this idea.

Objection is invalid, and there is no way to object.

Even if they have established meritorious service, it is no problem to confer a chancellor.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Wu!"

At this moment, Cai Jing said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Wu!"

The prime minister and the king, although the status of the king is higher than that of the prime minister, the actual rights are different.

The status is higher than that of the prince, and the power is higher than that of the prime minister.

Your lord, sometimes you are just a high-ranking prisoner.In your fief, all you have to do is eat and drink.

But if you leave the fief without permission or do something beyond your authority, just wait to be hacked.

Of course, King Yan is different from ordinary princes. Although he has a fief, he still has a position in the court. From this point of view, he is actually not inferior to Cai Jing.

But after all, the prime minister is a high position in the Song Dynasty and has real power.

So at this point, the prime minister has more influence.

With the addition of the position of prime minister, King Yan is undoubtedly even more powerful.

It was only when he heard everyone calling him Prime Minister Wu that Wu Zhi realized that he had just become the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty?

Although he is the king of Yan, if he entrusts himself with the land, he has so much power.The prime minister is different, he can influence the national policy of the entire Song Dynasty.

Although Song Huizong listens to Wu Zhi a lot now, but after all, his identity on the surface is still very compelling.

Wu Zhi was overjoyed.

I also became the prime minister once, which is pretty good.

However, in terms of the position of prime minister, he and Cai Jing are still different.

Because Cai Jing controls the Privy Council, and the Privy Council is a channel connecting officials and officials below.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Privy Council is in the hands of Cai Jing, and it can be said that his hands and eyes are in the sky.

Many officials are also Cai Jing's disciples, but with such a huge system, Cai Jing can't handle Wu Zhi who is cheating.

Now there is still a handle to be caught by Wu Zhi, so even so, Wu Zhi doesn't have to be afraid of Cai Jing targeting him.

Moreover, Wu Zhi's administrative affairs department in Yanyun has been preliminarily perfected. As long as his achievements get better and better, it will be implemented in Song Dynasty. Once this is the case, Dasong will have an administrative affairs department.

This is a new system, and the man at the helm is Wu Zhi.

At that time, I am afraid that it will be more powerful and influential than the Privy Council.

The Secretary for Administrative Affairs is the foundation of Wu Zhi's power.

As long as the Administrative Department is established in the Song Dynasty and widely used, nothing can be seen at first, but the more officials there are, the whole world will be Wu Zhi's disciples.That's different.
