Bianjing, imperial city, capital hall, capital hall, and capital hall should be called the 1st State Council in later generations.

Unfortunately, during this period, the subordinates of the Song Dynasty's Zhongshu were left with residual blood, and the rights of the State Council are now mostly in the hands of Zhang Fangping, the three envoys. Chen Zhizhong, the new subordinate of the Zhongshu, was a half-blooded organization minister and president of the Supreme Court. This is probably the case.

However, in theory, Chen Zhizhong was the highest-level prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, according to the rules, as March approaches, to prepare for the annual summary of the Song Dynasty, many materials need to be collected and sorted into documents.

This document needs to be read out by Chen Zhizhong at the annual grand ceremony just like a government work report and submitted to Emperor Zhao Zhen.

This is basically the rule, but most of the information that needs to be summarized is in the hands of Zhang Fangping. In the past, when Pang Ji was there, of course, Zhang Fangping sent it to the central hall. But now, Chen Zhizhong, a half-blooded good man, how could he let Zhang Fangping come to report?

"If you go to see him, it will be a bit cheaper, but the rules are wrong. If you don't go, you will pretend to be stupid and don't send it here. Now the grand court meeting is about to begin. Without him, the three officials will report to me how I went to the court to make a summary?"

Chen Zhizhong said to himself in the middle hall, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is also Liang Shi, and he didn't take the initiative to send the report from the Privy Council. Zhang Fangping wouldn't talk about him anymore. Will Liang Shi pretend to be a cow in front of me?"

The trusted subordinates had a sweat. It was a natural fight between the East Mansion and the West Mansion. Once Pang Ji stepped down, the shopkeepers of the two governments were divided into two people. Old Chen's prestige was not enough, so it was inevitable that the situation was disarray.

"My husband, it seems that the situation is intentional for Your Majesty. The so-called high places are too cold and there is a constant riot. If there is a problem with the report work of the Central Hall, it will be your responsibility after all. The Privy Council will not say it. Mr. Liang seems to want to report it alone, and he is also talking about the system and laws. However, the report on the Three Departments cannot be delayed, so it is better for you to take the initiative to meet Zhang Xiang." said a confidant adviser.

"That's all."

Old Chen was not convinced, and it was impossible for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to be a master, so how could the prime minister be easy? No matter how stupid Lao Chen was, he understood that during this period, I was obviously taking the blame, so I did not do things. These people were vulgar. When it comes to doing things, there was obviously a large group of people who were crueler than me...

When he arrived at Zhang Fangping, Chen Zhizhong was shocked. He didn't know what the wind was blowing. The emperor happened to be in this place. Before Lao Zhang or Lao Chen went to see him, Zhao Zhen ran over anxiously. The emperor seemed to be particularly anxious to see the "insider data" before the grand ceremony, so that he knew it.

"The old minister has met the official family." Chen Zhizhong hurriedly saluted.

At this age, Zhao Zhen was not in good health and obviously did not have enough energy, so he didn't talk much, so he nodded slightly and signaled to sit down.

Old Chen sat down obediently.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Fangping and said, "Zhang Qing, don't keep it a secret. Let me tell you about the general situation of Huangyou for five years in advance. It's not that good that I know so many things happened last year. I want to be mentally prepared in advance so as not to catch the court off guard."

“It’s not very good indeed.”

Zhang Fangping said this, but his expression was not worried. He picked up a newspaper in his hand, looked down and said: "Kaifeng Prefecture is still the first in fiscal and tax revenue, which is slightly higher than the previous year, but the growth rate is limited."

This was nothing wrong, and it was also expected by Zhao Zhen, so the emperor nodded slightly.

Zhang Fangping continued: "Daming Mansion ranks second, but the growth rate was more gratifying than the previous year, more than 10%.

When Zhao Zhen and Chen Zhizhong heard this, they smiled because this was beyond their expectations.

Of course, Zhao Zhen could not respond to Chen Zhizhong, so he lowered his head without any sense of existence.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Zhang Xianggong wants to keep an eye on his leave, tell me the inside story quickly, why does it increase so much?"

Zhang Fangping said truthfully: "It is because Hebei Dudu Transportation Fu Bi's agricultural and animal husbandry policy has begun to show results, and the land revitalization has not been low. When the people are relatively full, there will be new demand. As the center of the northern commodity economy, the demand for Hebei two roads has increased, and Daming Mansion's fiscal and tax revenue will naturally surge."

Zhao Zhen high-five and exclaimed: "It's really a pillar of the country. It seems that the first transferee of the Song Dynasty this time is His Fu Bi."

Zhang Fangping shook his head and said, "The government is not in a hurry to say something to death. He is rebellious and treats many imperial decrees as waste paper. He has many problems. He mainly relies on the unique Daming Mansion, and the size of Daming Mansion is destined to make him most conspicuous. But in fact..."

After the turning point, Zhang Fangping said: "There is one person's increase that is more eye-catching than his, which is Han Qi, the Hedong Transportation Commander. Taiyuan Prefecture's growth rate is better than Daming Prefecture, nearly half of it."

"Han Qi..." Zhao Zhen frowned when he heard the name popping up again.

The emperor had an expression, and as a minister, he had to cooperate and say something. But he had no choice but to be a coward, the prime minister Chen Zhizhong was a coward. He didn't even know what the emperor was thinking now, so he could not cooperate. So he had to look at Zhang Fangping as if he had to ask for help.

Lao Zhang was quite satisfied with Chen Zhizhong's attitude, so he continued: "The official must have remembered that it was the defeat of the Good Shuichuan in the past. In addition, the matter between Chen Shun was not completely concluded, so Han Qi's problem made the official embarrassed?"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang understands my intention more. Then Chen Shu is a trouble now. If Han Qi has done something, it will embarrass Han Qi. If he doesn't deal with it, Di Qing, who has had trouble with him, is now so miserable, and I always feel that this bowl of water is not even enough."

Zhang Fangping said: "The kind heart of the official family is my blessing for the Song Dynasty, but there is no need to think about it. The bowl of water in your heart will never be upright. If you are obsessed with these things, I, the Secretary of the Central Committee, will never be able to do anything again. For example, Han Qi has made contributions and made mistakes this time. How did you think his significant increase come about?"

"I'm waiting to listen." Zhao Zhen said.

Zhang Fangping said: "It's because he was challenging the bottom line of the Liao Kingdom, and in the disputed land on the Song and Liao border, he pushed for land and immigrated to open up land and farm. This matter was originally kept in the dark. Fu Bi wrote a letter to former prime minister Pang Ji, who privately impeached Han Qi to play the straits and acted blindly, so I realized it. Later, Pang Ji discussed with me, in order not to worry the officials and not to publicly anger Liao Kingdom, he privately scolded Han Qi for not doing it, and could not destroy the result of Kou Zhun's game of the Chanyuan Alliance."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen was really shocked by the extremely unrestrained Han Qi, and his heart was so cold.

Damn, although this is equivalent to increasing arable land and resources for our Han family, it is also a danger of triggering national war. Zhang Fangping's evaluation is correct, and it is normal for Fu Bi to dislike him. This is indeed a bit of a big loss due to small things.

However, Han Qi has such virtues, he likes radical practices. It can be seen from the fact that he supervised Shaanxi to preside over the battle between Song Xia. At that time, the young and energetic emperor would be deceived by Han Qi's proactive attack method. However, after Haoshuichuan's failure, coupled with his years of precipitation and calmness, it is obvious that Zhao Zhen also understood that Fan Zhongyan's trick was right. Even if he made money, he had to share the opportunity and talk about strategies.

What made Zhao Zhen the most headache is that although Han Qi was a little unrestrained, Fu Bi was not a good person either. A while ago, Fu Bi personally wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen, accusing Han Qi of being the "killing".

Yes, Fu Bi said that Han Qi was more resentful than Di Qing. When Han Qi was in the Hebei Army, he cut too many soldiers and officers, which made the Hebei Army very excited. Later, Han Qi patted his butt and went east to get hatred. He handed over the mess in Hebei to Fu Bi.

Fu Bi is not a scammer, so if Fu Bi wants to settle the mess left by his ex, it will of course be difficult for Fu Bi to settle it.

This is the conflict between Fu Bi and Han Qi. In Zhao Zhen's eyes, their elder brother, let alone the second brother, was as pure as Fu Bi. In fact, the officers he cut down were not necessarily less than Han Qi.

These guys are more unrestrained than the other, and they can't even say anything. When they say it, they will make all kinds of advice, resign from office, and are discouraged. Zhao Zhen was really afraid that they would be like this. This is why Zhao Zhen was more and more dissatisfied with the moral integrity of these literati at this age, and then he especially loved Di Qing, who was surprised to protect his bones.

Unfortunately, according to Zhao Zhen's intention, he originally planned to promote Di Qing to Privy Councilor after the victory in Guirenpu. However, although he won, Zhang Fangping was not a good guy, so he went to rub Di Qing, and Bao Zheng jumped out as soon as the news leaked.

Now Di Qing, who was supposed to be the Privy Councilor, was beaten up by them, and the work of the Privy Council was also handed over to Bangmai Liangshi, who knew nothing.

In this way, the good news that had originally grown everywhere became a political problem in Zhao Zhen's mind, which was a little boring. He became less interested in the future and felt a little tired.
