I will never be Renzong

Chapter 20 Fighting for Power
On March [-]th, the first year of Qianxing, there was a court meeting in Chongde Palace.

The king of political affairs once said: "National affairs should be handled by the officials and ministers together, but now the officials are young, so it is a last resort for the empress dowager to come to the court, and now the villains in the court are making trouble and colluding with the servants. Going forward with slanderous rumors in front of the Queen Mother and the officials, so that the officials and the Queen Mother only go to court twice a month. One day at a time!"

As soon as Wang Zeng's words fell behind, Ding Wei said: "Since the queen mother and the officials have agreed to go to court on the first and fifteenth day of each month, why does Wang Shenzheng pursue this matter?"

Ding said that looking at Wang Zeng at this time, the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became. Thinking about Wang Zeng, who was submissive in front of him, dared to challenge him openly. I have to say that Wang Zeng was really good at the beginning.

Wang Zeng said confidently: "Since the Queen Mother and the officials have agreed to this matter, a formal edict should be issued. But why haven't the ministers in the court seen it so far?"

Liu E only agreed to Lei Yungong verbally, but Lei Yungong disclosed the matter to Ding Wei, so there was no official edict issued. Although Zhao Zhen was too young to be in charge of political affairs, all edicts, large and small, had to be issued by him. It needs to be stamped with a jade seal.

"Official family! Lei Yungong did convey the matter to Ai's family, and Ai's family agreed verbally, but they haven't had time to tell the official family. I don't know what the official family means about this?"

In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu E still cared more or less about Zhao Zhen's feelings.

Zhao Zhen thought to himself that if he refused this matter, he would be openly disobeying Liu E's decree, but if he did nothing and only went to the court twice a month, he would be idle and moldy, and Liu E had been in power for 11 years. During these 11 years of suffering, Zhao Zhen shuddered.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while before saying: "As the aunt said, if only the first and fifteenth day of the month are the only time for me to go to the court to listen to the government, then it would be too easy for me as an official? If the late emperor If there is a soul in heaven, if they know that I am so lazy, they will definitely punish me severely."

Zhao Zhen knew very well that if he wanted not to offend Liu E and win more court hearings, he had to blame Song Zhenzong for this matter. To put it bluntly, Liu E might not take his opinion seriously, but If Song Zhenzong is pulled out, then no matter how authoritarian Liu E is, he has to think carefully.

Seeing this, Liu E said: "There is no need for the officials to always be the first emperor or something. Although the Ai family is listening to the government behind the curtain, sooner or later the government will need to be handled by the officials themselves, so you might as well speak out directly if you have any opinions. If it makes sense, the Ai family and the ministers of the court will not refuse to adopt it just because the official family is young!"

"What the aunt said is true, the son has been educated!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly stood up and bowed to Liu E who was inside the curtain.

"Emperor Zeng"

"Return to the late emperor!"

Liu E hurriedly gave Zhao Zhen a look.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Well! I think that everything in this world cannot escape a word of reason. The reason why Ding Xianggong proposed to go to court only on the first and fifteenth day of each month is also for the sake of my health and the eldest lady's health. Therefore, Ding Xianggong did not Wrong, Ding Xianggong can still take care of me and the queen mother when performing the duties of the prime minister, it is even more commendable, it is really an example for the officials!"

Seeing what Zhao Zhen said, Ding Wei couldn't help but straighten his waist, and then looked at Wang Zeng very proudly.

Zhao Zhen said again: "The words of the king's participation in politics are not unreasonable. They are also words from the heart that are worried about the government. I have been on the throne for less than a month, but I also understand the truth. Only when I participate more in the government can I know how the government is. To deal with it, I will be able to manage the government in an orderly and meticulous manner until I become an adult and take charge of the government. This requires the accumulation of experience, and the experience comes from listening to the government at the court."

Seeing this, Liu E said: "Ding Xianggong said that it is a good intention to go to court on the first and fifteenth day of each month, but the frequency is a little less. Wang Canzheng said that the previous visit to the court every five days is a bit frequent. Not only the official year The young body can't bear it, and the Ai family may not be able to withstand such a long period of government affairs, so according to the Ai family's meaning, since once every five days is too much, and once every fifteen days is too little, it is better to make a compromise. What do you think about the last court in seven days?"

The reason why Liu E wants to go to court only twice a month is because she is a woman, and a woman always has a few days of physical discomfort every month. If she goes to court every five days, it will be difficult for her to avoid menstruation. The day of coming.

If Zhao Zhen knew that Liu E was the reason, he would obviously be shocked, because this old woman couldn't even conceive a child.Menstruation still occurs, and she is 53 years old now.

"Big lady is wise!"

Zhao Zhen thought to himself that he finally won two more chances to listen to the government.

"The Queen Mother is wise! I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"

Seeing this, all the officials agreed one after another.

Wang Zeng said again: "Officials! Queen Mother! In order to prevent the emergence of eunuchs, I think that the government affairs of the court cannot be conveyed by Lei Yungong alone!"

Liu E didn't expect that Wang Zeng would hold on to this matter, and she was a little displeased because of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who didn't know that Lei Yungong belonged to her.

But I didn't want Lu Yijian, a direct scholar of LongTuge, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, and governor of Quankaifeng, to say: "Officials! Madam! The words of the king's participation in politics are not unreasonable. If something happened to power officials, we are all sinners of the Song Dynasty, so In order to prevent the gradual progress, the minister thought that several eunuchs could be appointed to convey the political affairs of the court to the officials and the queen mother."

"Is there a suitable candidate in the official's mind?"

Liu E asked Zhao Zhen coldly.

Zhao Zhen had just moved to the Palace of Funing, and there were personal maids and eunuchs by his side, but Zhao Zhen was not familiar with these eunuchs, Zhou Huaizheng, whom he was most familiar with, had already been executed.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Ma'am! I think the guards inside all know that Zhang Jingzong is cautious and responsible, so he can take on this errand with Lei Yungong!"

Zhang Jingzong was a trusted eunuch around Song Zhenzong, and he was also very kind to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen had seen his attributes in private. His loyalty was as high as 96, while his ambition was only [-]. Such a loyal and honest person was used to convey the government affairs of the court. It could not be better.

"Hmm! Zhang Jingzong is really good, but only Lei Yungong and Zhang Jingzong are a little less. In this way, with the enshrined Ren Shouzhong in Xitou, these three people take turns to convey the government affairs of the court. Is there any meaning for the ministers?"

"It's meaningless to wait!"

Seeing this, the officials couldn't say anything, Dan Dingwei was a little disappointed because he didn't achieve his expected goal, but since the Queen Mother had set the tone, he couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he could only present The matter was suppressed.
