Zhao Zhen repeated Wang Ning'an's memorials five times. Every time he read them, he was frightened and shuddered. Speaking of which, Tan Xian was just a eunuch, and Gao Zunyu was also an outdated martial artist.

Not to mention Di Qing and Wang Ning'an, the two of them are still different from the three.

But because they were imperial envoys, they could do whatever they wanted, and mess up the overall situation in the northwest with Zhao Zhen's will and under the banner of the emperor.

In the final analysis, this is my fault!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen kept coughing, his throat became salty, and he almost fainted.

He was old, was stimulated and vomited blood again. Zhao Zhen's condition was very bad. Even the imperial doctor suggested that he rest immediately and not care about anything.

But can Zhao Zhen ignore this situation?

If you want to rest, you have to pay back the debt you owe!

His responsibility was put aside from beginning to end, including the secret spy department who deceived Shengting and misled Zhao Zhen, and the Political Affairs Hall issued a random order, and the two imperial envoys were willing to do whatever they wanted... These things must be investigated!

A little careless is to let down the dead soldiers!

"Cheer the officials, they are all here." Su Gui whispered: "Sage, why don't you summon me tomorrow?"

Zhao Zhen glared at his eyes and angrily scolded: "What, do you want to learn from Tan Xian too?"

"I dare not!"

Su Gui was so scared that he rolled in and crawled out and called out. Soon, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Gui, and Eunuch Shen Duan, three people walked in one after another.

After the ceremony, they looked up together and saw Zhao Zhen leaning against the bed. There was a faint smell of blood and medicine in the room. The emperor's face turned pale like rice paper.

Wen Yanbo's eyes were sore and he hurriedly said, "It's all unfaithful to the ministers and fathers. I'm sorry for the death sentence!"

"Don't say it." Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "I don't want to hear the messy things. At present, there are only two ends, the situation of the Northwest War, and the big case of deceiving the emperor. Mr. Wen, as the Prime Minister, come up with a strategy!"

"Abide by the order."

Old Wen calmed down and was worthy of being a wandering world for many years. At the critical moment, Wen Yanbo was able to stabilize. He knew very well that this was the beginning of a storm. Wen Yanbo didn’t know how big the wind would blow, but he didn’t get involved. As long as he could hold up the overall situation, when the storm was heard, Wen Yanbo would be a tumbler and evergreen again.

"Your Majesty, the prince has just entered the Political Affairs Hall to write a document. Xixia is about to counterattack. The old minister dared to ask Your Majesty for the decree. On the line of Hengshan... do you still want it?" Wen Yanbo secretly looked at Zhao Zhen.

"Of course!"

The emperor almost did not hesitate, "Destroying Xixia and restoring Hetao was the one I patted my chest and assured my ancestors that I must do it! Cough cough... no matter how much the price it costs!"

Wen Yanbo nodded, "The old minister followed the will of the saints. The Political Affairs Hall immediately allocated 4 million jin of military expenses, and the Privy Council was presided over by the Privy Council to replenish the two imperial guards of Shenwei and Longwei to restore their troops. In addition, 20,000 troops were transferred from Hebei, 15,000 troops were transferred from Bashu, and Qingtang, as well as Qingtang, gathered all troops and made every effort to protect Hengshan. The old minister would ask Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road to recruit 00,000 civilians, allocate military salaries and rations as soon as possible, boost morale and supplement materials..."

Lao Wen kept talking about what he needed to do.

Zhao Zhen nodded and looked at Wen Yanbo with praise.

He is indeed an old minister, but he is experienced.

"Man, horse, money and grain are of course important. But the most important thing is that the military orders in the northwest must be unified. I decided to give Wang Ning'an the title of Duke of Qin, the Secretariat, and the Shaanxi Provincial Government to appease and recruit recruit envoys, take charge of all military and political power, and also hold the household registration of money and grain, and rank above the transshipment envoys."

This decree scared everyone, which was equivalent to handing over the northwest to Wang Ning'an. Whether it was military affairs or civil affairs, he could monopolize the power. Compared with the previous one, he had been in charge of military affairs with Di Qing, which has been more than several times more than before!

In normal times, there must be some objections, but no one dares to get into trouble at this time.

No one can deal with the mess in the northwest except Wang Ning'an. I hope he can stop the counterattack of Xixia. Otherwise, the years of work in the Song Dynasty would be wasted and tens of millions of military spending would be wasted. By that time, no matter how thick Wen Yanbo was, he would not be able to stay in the Political Affairs Hall.

Thinking of this, Lao Wen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, at this time of crisis, you need to turn the tide. Wang Xianggong is the best choice. The old minister thinks it is very appropriate and can be executed immediately."

After the first thing was over, there was naturally the second one left. Zhao Zhen first looked at the eunuch Chen Duan, and saw him standing with his hands down, his waist straight, his head down, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and focused on Wang Gui again.

As a famous minister of the Three Imperials, Wang Gui is a very unpresented priest.

But it was just such a guy who caused such a big storm, and I don’t know what to say!

"Wang Gui!"

"The criminal is here!"

Wang Gui couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans. He sent the imperial envoy to the northwest to prevent accidents, to give the imperial envoy a document to order the army.

It was written by Wang Gui at that time. The normal order should be to control the horse and camp in order to prepare for emergencies. As a result, Wang Gui added another sentence on it, "Each army must respect the imperial envoy's orders and obey the dispatch... It was precisely because of this sentence that the Shenwei and Longwei were transferred away, and Zhong Gu had to follow the north to Lingzhou.

"Say, why do you add this sentence? Who asked you to add it?" Although Zhao Zhen was weak, the more he was, the more scary he became. Judging from the emperor's hair and hair, he could eat people at any time!

Wang Gui's clothes were soaked in cold sweat and kowtowed desperately.

"I'll call you to Your Majesty. This order of the government affairs hall was just a model of the previous imperial envoy's decree. The old minister thought it was a normal decree, so he asked the clerk below to draft it. The old minister had a mistake of being in absent-minded and was willing to take the crime!"

He lay on the ground, trembling all over.

Zhao Zhen glanced at him and sneered, "Doesn't supervise? Do you dare to miss the military and national affairs?"

"ah!"

Wang Gui passed away and cried bitterly: "The old minister is indeed just a mistake. The old minister is not a talented person. He is willing to retire and return home. Please ask Your Majesty for your kindness."

As he said that, he took off the black veil and placed it on the ground. When he thought that the travels to Chang'an would end, Wang Gui was still very sad. But Zhao Zhen's words then made him fall directly to the eighteenth level of hell!

"Want to leave?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled, "No way! Someone is here!"

The emperor cried out and someone rushed in.

"Take him to the Imperial City Department to be detained and wait for investigation!"

Wang Gui was stunned all of a sudden. He knew that things were not small, but at most he would just be dismissed from office. Why did he need to arrest people? No, I don’t have such a serious crime?

He wanted to argue, but the guards in the palace did not give him any chance and dragged him away.

After taking Wang Gui down, Zhao Zhen gasped for a long time and finally recovered a little energy.

"Mr. Wen, from now on, you will be in charge of the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall. All decrees and orders must be approved by you before they can be implemented. This is a permanent system and no changes are allowed!"

After saying this, Wen Yanbo's heart almost jumped out!

Good, my official family, you are so interesting!

As we all know, the official system of the Song Dynasty was to restrict each other, and to form a house, and it was messy.

Especially the Political Affairs Hall, it was even more chaotic.

At first, the Song Dynasty imitated the Tang Dynasty and generally arranged two to three prime ministers. Later, the deputy prime minister was added, that is, the political affairs officer. The initial political affairs officer had no authority, and did not promulgate the system, did not hold the ranks, did not know the seal, and was not promoted to the political affairs hall... To put it bluntly, it was just the ministers and staff of the prime minister.

Later, the authority to participate in politics became greater and greater, and gradually erased all the words "no" and became almost the same as the prime minister.

A strong assistant to the government affairs can even underestimate the prime minister. For example, Fan Zhongyan in the Qingli New Deal, if he discusses with the emperor, and then publishes it in the name of the Political Affairs Hall, it becomes a government order.

In the original history, Wang Anshi's reform began with participation in politics, and he was a typical deputy who bullied the official position.

From this we can see that although the ranks of the Political Affairs Hall of the Song Dynasty vary, in the final analysis, it depends on the degree of friendship between the emperor and his ministers.

As long as the emperor appreciates it, the deputy prime minister can also challenge the prime minister.

The advantage of doing this is very obvious, that is, it can safeguard the imperial power and weaken the minister's power.

But the harm is also obvious.

It makes people go out with many doors, without rules, and too casual.

For example, this time, the imperial envoy was given a handwritten order, because neither Wen Yanbo nor Wang Anshi were willing to offend Wang Ning'an, so they distributed the matter to Wang Gui.

Wang Gui, as the deputy prime minister, could add something to it, and give Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu more power. As a result, after arriving at the local area, they could take chicken feathers as command arrows.

Zhao Zhen learned from his mistakes and could not continue to be confused and confusing.

The above mistake will be infinitely magnified when you arrive at the place. The cost of 100,000 people is too heavy!

Wen Yanbo was overjoyed. He could have jumped up if he hadn't been due to the bedroom.

With Zhao Zhen's words, the Prime Minister was legitimate and overwhelmed his ranks. Compared with the prime ministers of the Han and Tang dynasties, they were even more majestic.

Wen Yanbo is a mature man. This is the emperor delegating power, not only delegating power to Wang Ning'an, but also to himself.

Since there is a release, there is a retention. Some people are destined to be unlucky... Wen Yanbo put his eyes on the eunuch Shen Duan. You eunuchs, retribution has come!

Our husband Wen has never been a good person, he really wants to watch the fun.

"Shen Duan!"

"I'm here!"

"I ask you, who told Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu about Yu Zang's surrender?"

"It's a slave!"

"Then why did you tell them?"

"To seize the merits!" Shen Duan replied very simply, "When I saw Xixia's great defeat, I thought victory was right in front of me. I was unwilling to give up all the credits by Wang Xianggong and Di, so I instructed Tan Xian to send troops first, take down Lingzhou, and cook the raw rice into a cooked rice. But I didn't expect that this was a trap. I was guilty, and I would rather give the heads on it and ask the saint to punish me!"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and suddenly sneered: "Wang Gui blames his subordinates. You are more heroic than him and want to bear it yourself! I tell you! Don't think about it! I must investigate thoroughly to the end. No one behind the person can escape!"
Chapter completed!
