With the fall of the Prince of Beihai, the power of the royal family of the Song Dynasty completely collapsed. Lao Wen was no longer able to bully a prince so badly.

But Wen Yanbo is not satisfied yet, he has a bigger goal.

"It's time to deal with Empress Dowager Cao!"

Wen Yanbo said this.

His words scared his son Wen and Fu silly.

"Dad, that's the queen mother. She has retreated. Why are you still not willing to let go? Think about it for our family and don't offend others!"

"Hahaha, silly boy, just your little knowledge, how can you be able to survive in the Western Regions?" Lao Wen said contemptuously: "I see, those barbarians are just uncivilized and have too stupid brains. This is called Shi Wu Hero. Do you believe it or not? If you go to the Western Regions, you can only stand aside!"

Can Wen Jifu not believe it?

"Dad, your old ability is convinced, but how should you do it when dealing with Empress Dowager Cao, she lives in the palace?"

Wen Jifu really couldn't think of a solution. After all, there was a difference between the king and the minister, and he was still the emperor's mother. This was something that could never be changed.

"You, don't understand yet!" Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Who can stop Empress Dowager Cao this time, who can do the most?"

"Who? Of course you are old!"

"Pooh!"

Wen Yanbo spat at him, "You can say this to outsiders, let's tell the truth. For my father, I am the one who charges in the battle, and Wang Ning'an is the real coach!"

Wen Jifu smiled embarrassedly, "The child thinks so too. Am I afraid that my father will get angry!"

"Hmph, if your father had such a little bit of mind, he would not be alive today." Wen Yanbo smiled proudly and said, "For so many years, Wang Ning'an has been bullying me, and has always made my father a villain and take the blame. This time, my father also gave him a blame!"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Wen Jifu seemed to have some idea, but he didn't quite understand.

"For the sake of his father, outsiders will only regard it as Wang Ning'an's instruction. In the future, Wang Ning'an will be the culprit, and he cannot escape!"

Wen Jifu was overjoyed, "Dad, do you want to use the punishment of Empress Dowager Cao to provoke conflicts between Wang Ning'an and His Majesty? If that were the case, it would be really interesting."

Wen Yanbo shook his head repeatedly, "You think beautifully! Your Majesty decided to go to Youzhou, but he no longer cared about Empress Dowager Cao's affairs... Although they are mothers and sons, don't forget that the Tian family is ruthless... And since this time, the emperor has never been able to do anything anymore. The heavens in the Song Dynasty have changed!"

"Changed?" Wen Jifu asked in surprise: "Who is the heaven of the Song Dynasty?"

Lao Wen smiled, "Wanmin!"

"I don't believe it! This is empty talk. How can the people control the bureau?"

"So there is the Minister of Political Consultative Affairs and Political Consultative Affairs Council, and being a father is the foreman of the Political Consultative Affairs Council!" Lao Wen narrowed his eyes and said proudly: "Boy, you know your father is amazing!"

...

Everything is focused on the big picture and you must have a big picture so that you can see the context of development clearly.

In fact, why did Zhao Shu fall into the water? Why was he so confused and seriously ill? Even if the whole case cannot be investigated, it is still a mess? Is it just that the financial group dislikes Zhao Shu?

Of course it is not that simple. Wang Ning'an's subordinates have powerful forces, opposing the emperor's rule alone... In other words, it is precisely because of this public opinion that the emperor can plot against him and succeed in one fell swoop.

In this conflict, whether Wang Ning'an wins or Empress Dowager Cao wins, the result will be the same, and the imperial power will inevitably decline. Needless to say, Wang Ning'an can gather so many people, how can there be no shadow of a financial group behind it?

They pushed Empress Dowager Cao, Zhao Yunbi, Zhang Fangping and others to the front and fought against Wang Ning'an. It would be better to have both sides and get a loss to control the entire court... You know it's dangerous! Even if you are the Empress Dowager and the Prince, you don't have enough power, you are just a pawn. Not only can you not dominate your own destiny, but you don't even know that you are controlled by others!

Are you afraid of death? What you are afraid of is that you don’t know how to die!

"The world is getting bigger and bigger, the situation is getting more and more complicated, and the bureaucratic system is getting better and better... Even if a talented person is unable to govern the world by relying on a single person, it is inevitable that the decline of imperial power will be inevitable. But this moment comes a little too fast, so fast that people can't adapt to it." Chen Shunzhi sighed: "Prince, it seems that some of our previous deductions seem to be taken for granted."

As Wang Ning'an's confidant adviser, Chen Shunzhi knew that the prince had long been determined to limit the imperial power, but don't get me wrong. He did not plot against Zhao Shu. On the contrary, he carefully cultivated it to pave the way for Zhao Shu and establish authority... Wang Ning'an thought of letting Zhao Shu work for decades, and using the emperor's authority to eliminate many hidden dangers, and then wait for Zhao Shu to realize that the manpower is limited, and then promote legislation will come naturally.

Wang Ning'an was very confident in his disciples. He knew that Zhao Shu was a rare and good emperor. He valued the world and the people more than the Zhao family! Wang Ning'an had no doubts about his ability to make sacrifices for long-term stability and prosperity.

But this time the incident disrupted Wang Ning'an's steps.

Zhao Shu did withdraw and handed over the power of the court, but he handed over it too early and too hastily... There are too many things in the Song Dynasty that have not been sorted out, too many hidden dangers have not been resolved, and the disappearance of the imperial power, how can we fill the huge power vacuum left? Can the court in the Song Dynasty bear this burden!

Don’t think that with capitalism, you can develop an industrial power naturally, and don’t think about it. If you establish a constitution, everything is easy to say. No matter how many problems you have, you can overcome it... This is simply a delusion and daydreaming.

Although there are only a few models of power struggle, if you look closely, you will find that under almost every model, each country has many differences. Of course, there are countries with good performance, but there are even more poor performance...

In Wang Ning'an's view, a relatively stable structure must be formed after a long period of running-in and various forces constantly colliding and compromising!

Take Britain as an example, that is the origin and example of modern politics? But, sorry, there is no written constitutional provision, everything follows empiricism.

Many vocabulary and concepts were invented by scholars for the sake of convenience of explanation. The gap between them and facts is very large and even goes in the opposite direction!

These insights were obtained by Wang Ning'an when he was promoting industry. As he imagined, the beautiful and perfect industrial development actually brought a lot of problems, almost ruining the entire reform, and the lessons must be learned.

The Song Dynasty has reached its last step, but this step is just a short distance away, and it is the most dangerous!

"We have not completed the running-in yet, and all kinds of forces have not yet learned to balance and control..." Wang Ning'an said: "This Political Consultative Conference blocked Empress Dowager Cao and made great contributions. In addition, the right time, place, and people, it is inevitable that the Political Consultative Conference will be expanded... I did not have any calculations at the beginning. Putting Wen Yanbo into the Political Consultative Conference was equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. This person is good at fighting for power and power. He will definitely be able to exert the power of the Political Consultative Conference to the extreme, and this is exactly what I am worried about!"

Chen Shunzhi also echoed: "Yes, the Political Consultative Conference has infringed on the power of the fiscal budget, and I received a secret report. Lao Wen left the Qiandi Palace and immediately went to Di Qing. They were still drinking together. If what they expected was good, Wen Yanbo should have joined forces with the military."

"Not it should, but it has."

"What?" Chen Shunzhi asked in surprise: "Di Qing was actually bribed?"

"It's not just Di Qing, but Lao Wen directly bribed the entire military." Wang Ning'an told him about Wen Yanbo's promise to the military to discuss political affairs, which Di Qing told him.

Although Prince Di is simple and honest, he actually has some calculations if he does.

He could not beat Wen Kuanfu and could only be led by the nose. Then tell the truth and the person who could deal with Lao Wen!

"ah!"

Chen Shunzhi's face became ugly, "The military is full of fighting spirit and strong combat power. Murong can suppress Neo-Confucianism with 10 people. If the military expands to 30 people, the entire political meeting will be controlled by the military. Wen Yanbo really dares to do anything!"

"He not only does these things, I think he has bigger actions." Wang Ning'an smiled, "Wen Kuanfu will not disappoint us... Old Chen, you go and be prepared. It's better to let Lao Wen clean up the battlefield now. If he exceeds control and takes it decisively, he can't be left to disturb the court!"

Wang Ning'an showed his ruthless and unrighteous side again, but Chen Shunzhi felt that the prince was too wise. He immediately arranged it himself to deal with Wen Yanbo, so he had to be careful!

It’s true that Lao Wen can always break through people’s imagination!

Didn’t it mean that the empress dowager was arrogant and could not deal with it?

People came up with a solution, and Lao Wen still started with the budget. Of course, he did not dare to cut the palace's budget directly, but Zhao Shu moved to Youzhou to recuperate, and Youzhou became the location of the palace.

Lao Wen naturally transferred half of the palace expenses to Youzhou... Now the budget for Luoyang Palace is missing half of the budget!

Although those palace maids, eunuchs and guards were loyal, no one could do without money. The budget was cut and the wages could not be paid. Who could still be loyal while being hungry?

If you can't do it, you can't do it!

Lao Wen even spread rumors that the budget expenditure was cut, which was caused by Empress Dowager Cao's rebellion. If anyone is still with Empress Dowager Cao, even the coffin book will be compensated.

Although Empress Dowager Cao has been in the palace for many years and has some confidants, most people don’t care at all. Empress Dowager Cao is just a statue of a god. Usually they don’t even have the qualifications to look up, let alone have any feelings.

Moreover, the palace is a snobbish place. If anyone loses his power, there will be a lot of people who bully you.

Even the Queen Mother is no exception!

Since Lao Wen reduced his budget, the imperial kitchen reduced Empress Dowager Cao's food, needlework, towels, hats, clothes and other inner court institutions, and also reduced worship.

There are fewer and fewer fresh vegetables and fruits, and fewer good clothing materials.

Even the silver charcoal used in the palace was gone, and it turned into ordinary coal. It was very dusty when burned, and it was choking. Even the oil lamp disappeared without whale oil and turned into rapeseed oil, which made the palace maid smell like rapeseed oil. Who could bear it?

The Empress Dowager, you are so troubled by this. How can you do it? The people in the Political Affairs Hall are all frightened, afraid that something will happen again!

"The Queen Mother's decree is to choose your husbands over!"

The little eunuch's sharp voice broke the silence.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, my face turned red, and finally Su Song was helpless, "Mr. Wen, do you think about this?"
