One Piece of Song Dynasty

Wu Shaofen's face darkened and she said: "One faction protects Zhang Bangchang, and the other faction wants to kill him. Isn't this a party struggle?"

Zhao Gou said: "Isn't it just party struggle? I have a long history of party struggle in the Song Dynasty. Cheng Yi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Su Dongpo have repeatedly banned it."

Wu Shaofen asked: "Your Majesty has just established the dynasty, and the ministers are fighting among themselves. How is this good?"

Zhao Gou sighed and said: "There were internal conflicts in the party in the past, there are now, and there will be again in the future."

Wu Shaofen said: "Shaofen doesn't understand state affairs, but he still understands the difference between close relatives and virtuous ministers and distant villains."

Zhao Gou asked: "Wise ministers and villains are both cruel words. Do you think it's the villain who wants to kill Bangchang, or the villain who protects Bangchang?"

Wu Shaofen didn't know how to answer: "Then what will your Majesty do?"

Zhao Gou turned around and threw the memorial aside, sat down and sneered: "If you don't deal with it, just ignore it."

Wu Shaofen asked: "Your Majesty sat back and ignored it and allowed it to develop."

Zhao Gou said: "In the family law of my ancestors of the Zhao family, there is a clause called "disagreement with each other."

Wu Shaofen said doubtfully: "Different opinions are confusing."

Zhao Gou explained: "The civil servants and military generals are all intertwined and have their own power. A monarch must be good at exploiting the contradictions among ministers in order to draw chestnuts from the fire."

"This kind of ancestral family law is called the art of governing human rights, but it is actually a serious drawback to governing the country." Shaofen was just halfway through her sentence. Seeing Zhao Gou glare at her, she asked unconvincedly, "Isn't Shaofen right?"

Zhao Gou said: "It is a big disadvantage. Everyone knows it is a big disadvantage, but this is forced out by them. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Gentlemen and villains must use it and beware of it."

Wu Shaofen sarcastically said: "Your Majesty has a really insightful understanding of the imperial control skills that confuse different opinions."

Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. The more I talk about it, the more upset I get."

Zhang Bangchang was not without consideration for his future. After thinking about it, he came to Huang Qian's garden and brought his graceful adopted daughter Gillian.

At this time, Huang Qianshan was reading a memorial with his eyes squinted under the lamp: "Your Majesty has ascended to the great treasure, Li Yuan has returned, and the country has its owner, which is enough to defeat the enemy. King Qin's troops in the imperial camp are gathering day by day, and the military strength is getting stronger. But Li Gang and Huang Qian cannot abide by His Majesty's will to restore their homeland and welcome back the Second Saint, who is Lang Yuefei?"

Zhang Bangchang stood beside him with his hands folded in fear. When he heard the sound, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Yue Fei has never heard of it. Chengxin Lang is the military attache of Mung Bean. Why should the Prime Minister care?"

"The senior official of Sesame Grain dared to leapfrog to the next level, and even put me on the same level as Li Gang. You are really arrogant and ignorant." Huang Qianshan's frowned brows unfurled, he shook his head with a smile, and wrote in the letter, "Leaving a higher level and violating discipline will be dismissed." Military position.”

So Yue Fei's third military experience came to an abrupt end.

When the graceful Gillian saw Zhang Bangchang pursed her lips, she handed over the tea with both hands in a sweet voice: "Gillian, please give me some tea, please."

Huang Qianshan secretly marveled, how could Zhang Bangchang give birth to such a fairy-like daughter? He looked at Gillian and took the tea in his hand: "How old is your name?"

Gillian answered truthfully: "Gillian has just turned one during the Chinese New Year."

Huang Qianshan said: "Prince Zhang, the emperor has great ambitions, does not sleep or eat, and does not even eat meat, how can he be deceived by the beauty trap?"

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "Is there any man in the world who is not lewd?"

"Yes, it's so-called, but what time is it now?" Huang Qianshan shook his head, "The prince can still save his life if he doesn't offer his beauty at this time. If he offers Gillian instead, tsk tsk."

Zhang Bangchang was anxious and dejected: "Then Gillian is useless."

"Who said that?" Huang Qianshan stared at Gillian, "If you can't do it head-on, you can do it in a roundabout way."

Zhang Bangchang then showed a smile and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your support."

The banquet to see off Zongze was about to begin, but Zhao Gou still stayed in bed and refused to get up. While Wu Shaofen was changing Zhao Gou's clothes, she also explained why Li Gang's opinions should not be ignored. Kang Lu came in angrily and reported: "Li Gang said he was ill and could not pay a farewell farewell to Zongze. Prime Minister Huang was busy with official duties and could not come."

Zhao Gou became even more angry after hearing this, and all the party disputes were blamed on himself. What does this mean? It means that your emperor is still a bare man. He was a bare marshal before, but now he is a bare emperor. Wu Shaofen was also secretly shocked, thinking that this time the two prime ministers were facing each other tit for tat, and they were fighting hand to hand. She unconsciously muttered: "It seems that Zhang Bangchang's abscess must be squeezed tonight."

Zhao Gou said angrily: "If you ask me to kill Zhang Bangchang, I will violate the inscription on Taizu's oath not to kill scholar-bureaucrats."

Wu Shaofen said: "Zhang Bangchang is no longer a scholar-official, he is a traitor. Only by killing him can we urge the people to abandon their illusions and unite to resist the Jin Dynasty."

Zhao Gou said: "Bangchang is not qualified to be a traitor. He is just a villain at best. How can I bear to kill a villain?"

Wu Shaofen said: "In the face of strong public opinion, His Majesty must put away his compassion."

Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "Killing Bangchang is not conducive to uniting against the Jin Dynasty."

Wu Shaofen said: "No matter what, the anger of the war minister against the rebellion must be released."

Zhao Gou said helplessly: "Can this matter only end with Li Gang winning?"

Wu Shaofen advised: "As an emperor, you can't act on impulse, you can only compromise."

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, threw his hat crown to the ground and said angrily: "If I obey them, I might as well not be the emperor anymore."

"Your Majesty must be decisive when dealing with matters, and you must not act like a child." Shaofen picked up the hat and crown and put it on him. Zhao Gou calmed down, thought for a long time, and said to Kang Lu: "Go tell Li Gang and Huang Qianshan that I have made a decision."

Kang Lu knew that Zhao Gou had already decided Zhang Bangchang's fate, and couldn't help but shake his head and go out. Zhao Gou frowned and looked at Shaofen, who nodded approvingly.

When Kang Lu led Zhao Gou to the banquet hall, all the officials were already there. Zhao Gou sat down and scanned the crowd. He saw Huang Qianshan and Zhang Bangchang sitting together, Zhu Shengfei, Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding sitting together, and Li Gang and Zong Ze sitting together. They were really distinct. Everyone looked at Zhao Gou nervously, waiting for him to make a decision. Zhang Bangchang still smiled flatteringly at Zhao Gou, looking even more pitiful. Only Zongze saw Zhao Gou's livid face, lowered his head and frowned, and couldn't bear to look any further. It was a good farewell party, but now it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhao Gou finally spoke: "Now there are rebellions everywhere and Hunan is unstable. Bangchang, you go to Zhitanzhou and take up your post immediately."

Huang Qianshan was furious after hearing this. Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun were secretly shocked. Zhu Shengfei shook his head secretly. Although Li Gang remained calm, he let out a sigh of relief. Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shed tears: "The guilty minister Zhang Bangchang has received the order and resigned."

Kang Lu couldn't help but shake his head. Zhao Gou helplessly looked at Zhang Bangchang's figure as he kowtowed and went out, then turned his eyes to Li Gang: "Now Mr. Li can accept the order, right?"

Li Gang stood up, bowed deeply and said: "The way of Yao and Shun is nothing more than filial piety and brotherhood. Today in the court hall, your majesty's filial piety and brotherhood for the two saints can be compared to the gods, which makes the ministers moved to tears. The two emperors will not welcome him back, and the ministers will be tens of thousands." I will die in repayment to Your Majesty.”
