Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

After the Great Expedition, Zhao Chen and Zhe Yueru's birthday horoscopes were sent to Qin Tianjian!

The officials of the Qin Tianjian will carefully calculate the auspicious day for the big wedding!

On February 3rd, it was rare for Zhao Chen to go to court! This is his first time going to court after the New Year!

Sitting on the throne, Zhao Chen kept yawning! Zhao Chen was holding a small piece of wood and a woodworking knife in his hand, and he was carving there casually!

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do!" Lin Bao stood up and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to announce!" Just as Lin Bao finished speaking, Han Ping stood up and said.

"What is it?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, after Li Gang was demoted, there has been no minister in the court! You can ask for it. Your Excellency is a privy envoy to protect His Majesty from Tongguan to Hanzhong, and support His Majesty's ascension to the throne. He has worked hard and made great achievements, so he can be a prime minister!" Han Ping said.

"What do you adults think?" Zhao Chen said.

"My minister also thinks that Mr. Zhe can be prime minister!" Wei Ming stood up and said.

"My minister also agrees to make you the prime minister!" Xue Rui said.

"The position of Prime Minister must belong to Mr. Zhe!"

"No one can be prime minister except Mr. Zhe!"

"Master Zhe must be the prime minister!"

...

One after another, the ministers stood up and said.

In the end, all the ministers except Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen stood up.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, and said: "In this case, I will issue an imperial decree to appoint Mr. Zhe as the prime minister!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhe Keqiu knelt down on the ground and said.

"Please hurry up Zhe Aiqing! From now on, I will leave all state affairs in your hands! You must not slack off, you must be diligent and diligent in handling state affairs!" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Although this Great Song Dynasty belongs to Your Majesty, it's something I can ask for! I won't waste state affairs if I ask for it!" Zhe Keqiu laughed.

His laughter is full of pride and excitement! Now he is the prime minister, the real one is under one person and above ten thousand people! And unlike that useless Prime Minister Li Gang, he has real power! None of the officials in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan dared to oppose him, and none of the civil and military ministers in the court dared to oppose him! There are more than 100,000 troops in his hands, which are enough to guarantee his status! Moreover, the prime minister is only the first step to realize his wish! He felt that sooner or later he would be able to completely control this country in his own hands!

"Your Majesty, after Mr. Zhe became prime minister, there is no one to take up the post of privy envoy. I think General Zhe Yanwen Zhe can be the privy envoy!" At this time, Han Ping stood up again and said.

"This..." Zhao Chen seemed to show a hesitant expression!

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Zhe Yanwen to serve as the privy envoy!" Wei Ming said.

"My minister also thinks that Lord Zhe Yanwen can be a privy envoy!" Xue Rui said.

"My minister also agrees!"

"My minister also thinks that only Mr. Orihiko can serve as the privy envoy!"

"My minister agrees!"

...

Those ministers stood up one by one, as if they had discussed it long ago, they all supported Zhe Yanwen as the privy envoy!

According to the political system of the Song Dynasty, the prime minister is the head of civil servants and controls the government! However, the prime minister has no right to interfere in the military, and the privy envoy is in charge of the national military! The prime minister and the privy envoy, one civil and one military, are the two positions with the highest power in the Song Dynasty! Generally speaking, the relationship between the prime minister and the privy envoy is not very good! Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been open and secret struggles between the prime minister and the privy envoys! At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the power of the privy envoy was relatively large! Later, after Zhao Pu became the prime minister, the power of the prime minister surpassed that of the privy envoy! Since then, the power of the prime minister has always been above the privy envoy!

But in any case, it is well known that the relationship between the two is not harmonious!

But today, when Zhao Chen is in power, the prime minister and the privy envoy have become father and son! The father is the head of civil servants in name, and the son is in charge of the country's military! This is also something that has never happened in Da Song's history!

"In this case, let Zhe Yanwen be the privy envoy!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"Congratulations to the general!"

"Congratulations, General Zhe!"

"In the future, I will have to support the generals a lot!"

At that moment, countless ministers came to Ori Yanwen and congratulated him one after another!

Zhe Yanwen laughed out loud, feeling very excited in his heart! Before, he was only the magistrate of Hanzhong, but now he has become a privy envoy, his status has increased several times at once, and he is naturally in a good mood!

It is also very good to feel that you can afford it! Although it doesn't matter whether it is a privy envoy or a prime minister, as long as he is in the court, he is the head of all officials! But after all, the prime minister is a head taller than the privy envoy, which is even more legitimate!

"If there is nothing else, let's disperse!" Zhao Chen said.

There were no more ministers below to play, and now Zhao Chen was heading for the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the protection of several guards!

After Zhao Chen left, none of the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony left!

"Let's continue discussing state affairs!" Zhe Keqiu looked at the ministers around him, showing satisfaction, and said!

When Zhao Chen was around, it was best not to discuss state affairs! Now that Zhao Chen is gone, he discusses state affairs with the ministers! He disdains Zhao Chen to the extreme in his heart, and he doesn't want Zhao Chen to participate in state affairs at all!

After a full hour, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen led the officials to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

After that, they left the palace and came to their home, and the officials followed them to their home!

Now the father and son, one is the prime minister and the other is the privy envoy, naturally they want to have a big banquet for all the ministers to celebrate! During the period, all the ministers came up to flatter and flatter the horse, needless to say! Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen and his son are also very useful!

*** ***

In the afternoon, the sun sets!

It's already the second month of the lunar calendar, and the snow in the palace has melted a lot, but the cold wind is blowing, and the weather is still very cold!

Zhao Chen was standing in his bedroom, and Kang An was standing behind him right now!

"Kang An, how many people in the imperial camp are willing to serve me now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Now there are more than 70 people who are willing to serve His Majesty! I have tattooed the words 'Sworn to Kill Thieves' on their backs! Don't worry, Your Majesty, they are absolutely loyal to you! As long as Your Majesty needs them, they are always available for you Go to death!" Kang An said.

"More than seventy people? Some are too few!" Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

There are tens of thousands of people in the imperial camp, and now there are only more than 70 people loyal to Zhao Chen. This number is too small, too small!

"Your Majesty, these seventy or so people are not ordinary guards, most of them are lieutenants! These people are the main people I can get in touch with on a daily basis! Only after confirming their thoughts, can I find a solution Recruit them! If they don't agree, I have no choice but to kill them! During this period of time, three people have died in the hands of I, and now I don't dare to recruit a large number of them, fearing that the traitor will find out!" Kang An said.

"You did a good job! You said that most of the seventy or so people are lieutenants and officers! Not bad! Not bad! When there is real chaos, they raise their arms and shout, and the soldiers below will follow them!" Zhao Chen After thinking about it, he said.

In the era of cold weapons, the communication conditions are extremely backward, and the small soldiers are only followed by the chief! As long as the officer is willing to be loyal to Zhao Chen, unless the soldiers are particularly loyal, they will rise up with the officer and be used by Zhao Chen!

"Your Majesty, apart from being in the imperial camp, I still have a few friends in the Zhejia Army! Those friends are already willing to be loyal to His Majesty, and they have already written the words "swear to kill Zhe Zhe" on their backs!" Ann said again.

"I don't know what positions they all have?" Zhao Chen said.

"There are a lieutenant general in the army outside, two partial generals, and a lieutenant guarding the north gate of Hanzhong!" Kang An said.

"The captain guarding the north gate of Hanzhong?" Zhao Chen suddenly noticed this sentence!

"Yes, his name is Meng Jun, and he also promised to serve His Majesty! However, there are three captains at the North City Gate, and he is only one of them!" Kang An said.

"This is already very good! Captain Chengmen, although his position is low, he has great power! In the future, this person will also have a great effect on us! Kang An, I want to thank you!"

"Where did your majesty say that? A humble minister is loyal to your majesty, that is the duty of a courtier!" Kang An said hastily.

"After I ascend the throne, I will never forget your contribution! And those in the Zhejia army who are willing to serve me, I will never forget their contribution! You go and tell them, and when the day is completed, everyone will be able to serve you!" Promoted to three levels! I am not lying!" Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Kang An said with great joy in his heart.

He had no choice but to take refuge in Zhao Chen, but if he could get promoted and make a fortune, then he would naturally wish for it! If the people he recruited who are loyal to Zhao Chen get this news, they must be very happy in their hearts!
