No one can resist aging. After experiencing this trouble, Zhao Zhen was very tired and his energy declined. He always seemed to have mosquitoes flashed by in front of him, and his vision was severely declining. At night, even if he was lighted with candles, he could not read the memorials and handle government affairs. In just a few months, the dragon body was overwhelmed.

Zhao Zhen also knew that he didn't have much time and had to make some arrangements.

First, we must settle the case.

Chen Lin was old and weak, and after being arrested, she did not eat or drink water. She was already dead three days ago.

Even if the old dog that had been raising for decades, even if he bit himself at the last moment, Zhao Zhen could not be truly ruthless. He asked someone to find a place to bury Chen Lin.

As for Chen Duan and Tan Xian, they were all killed and decided.

It turned out that the Secret Spies Division, which was originally formed with great difficulty, was abolished, and all personnel were sent to Kaifeng to guard the tombs for Taizu and Taizong.

Zhao Zhen learned from his experience and replaced a group of eunuchs again.

These eunuchs were not recruited near the capital as before, but were recruited from Lingnan, northwest, Youzhou, and even Qingtang and other places, and found some young men from the vassal states to enter the palace.

Many of them don’t even know how to speak Chinese, but they come from all over the world and gather together, and in a short time, they can’t make trouble.

Moreover, Zhao Zhen also compressed their power to the limit and was only responsible for cleaning and serving people. When it comes to government affairs documents, Zhao Zhen would put the Hanlin Academy and the Zhongshu Sheren in charge.

Of course, this will increase the power of civil servants.

However, the two evils are the least, and civil servants are still much better than eunuchs. At least they have families and descendants, and they will not be as crazy as eunuchs.

In fact, this time, it was Chen Lin and Shen Duan who really decided to send troops to take the gamble.

As for Fu Bi and his friends, they just hoped to send imperial envoys to seize military power, and then divide Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an. Fu Bi said that he was not the mastermind, but just knew the truth and did not report it, which was not a lie.

But to be honest, without Qiyingshe and huge conservative forces, Chen Lin and Shen Duan had ten thousand courage, they would not dare to challenge Wang Ning'an, and it would be even more impossible to mobilize the army.

So Wang Ning'an said that this is not a dispute between right and wrong, but a dispute between interests!

To promote reform, Fu Bi must be eliminated and the biggest banner of the conservatives must be cut off!

Otherwise, even if Fu Bi ran to the Western Regions, he could still control the conservative forces remotely and deal with Wang Ning'an to the end. This is their fate!

...

The inner court was cleaned up, and the next one was the Zhao Dayi clan. After repeated weighing, Zhao Zhen did not start a massacre. He just gave Zhao Shimai to death, and deprived Zhao Conggu of all the posthumous titles and abdications, and at the same time deleted them from the royal family's roster.

However, Zhao Zhen did not stop. He appointed Zhao Congyu as King of Hami, and at the same time, he sent all the descendants of Zhao Da to the Western Regions. The rest were deprived of the royal status in accordance with the royal family regulations, causing them to lose the qualification to inherit the throne forever.

Zhao Zhen also issued an order to inform the world that in order to protect the Zhao family, Taizu passed the throne to Emperor Taizong, which was a wise move to obey the heavens and respond to others. The so-called sounds of axes and candles are nonsense, and they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, ulterior motives, and slanderous words.

If anyone dares to act, he will still dare to rumor everywhere, he will never tolerate it!

In addition to ordering the ban on performances, Zhao Zhen also took Zhao Shu to Taimiao to worship Taizu and Taizong. Whether it was for sacrifices or sacrifices, Zhao Da's specifications were slightly better than Zhao Er.

Obviously, as the founding monarch, Zhao Da's contribution was definitely better than Zhao Er.

In fact, Zhao Zhen had never seen Zhao Er, let alone Zhao Da. As for Zhao Shu, it was even more distant. In his eyes, they were just two spiritual positions.

Anyway, they were all their ancestors and ancestors who created the foundation of the Song Dynasty and should be worshipped together. There is really no need to cause trouble for themselves.

The ancestors made enemies gradually faded over time, and this kind of example was not uncommon... For example, after Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured, the Ming Dynasty supported Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. Later, the change of sect was caused by Yingzong's re-establishment. He hated his brothers to death, and Emperor Jingtai got everything.

However, when Emperor Yingzong's son Xianzong Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne, he still gave his uncle a posthumous title of Emperor Jing. Later, when he arrived in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu officially obtained the temple name Daizong!

In short, Zhao Zhen finished dealing with the part of the royal family.

Below is the gate.

The legendary roster was included in most of the generals and conspired to oppose Taizong.

Zhao Zhen cared very much. He was not worried that the generals would cause trouble, but once they were exposed, they had to deal with the generals. The originally unbalanced state would be even more turbulent.

Because of this, Zhao Zhen was hesitant and wanted to let Fu Bi go, but the problem was that Wang Ning'an forced Fu Bi to death. Afterwards, it was proved that the so-called roster did not appear. Everyone was just a rumor. Perhaps the person holding the roster also knew that Chen Zhimao, which had been almost a hundred years old, had long lost its power. Why not just expose it to avoid causing trouble.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but it was impossible for him to let the general go completely.

He had issued an edict to the Shi family, Pan family, and even the Cao family and Yang family, requiring them to pick half of their children and troops to send them to the Western Regions. Zhao Zhen also stipulated that if he wanted to inherit his title in the future, he must have military achievements!

What a joke, the children of the royal family have to surrender. What are your disciples?

Is it still more noble than the old Zhao family?

If you have no military achievements, just be an ordinary person!

Zhao Zhen showed his ruthless side, and he could only touch his nose and recognize him.

From beginning to end, Zhao Zhen dealt with all his forces.

But there was no civil servant.

In fact, with all the eunuchs, royal families and generals being suppressed, the trend of civil servants as the dominant family was revealed. Especially after the fall of the Qiyingshe, Wen Yanbo was the top figure in the Song Dynasty, regardless of his qualifications, skills, or status, and almost no one could compete with him.

Especially after Wang Ning'an was crowned king, the court affairs inside and outside had to obey Wen Yanbo's own arrangements.

This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen hesitated whether to deal with Fu Bi.

Killing is easy, but killing cannot solve all problems!

After all the work, everything done has fulfilled Wen Yanbo. Isn’t that shooting himself in the foot!

If Wen Yanbo is an upright person and a senior official worthy of entrusting it, it would be fine.

But after so many years, Zhao Zhen has seen through it. Wen Yanbo is really unreliable. He is a bad guy. He is smarter than anyone else and has no shame.

If he is in charge of power, the reform is likely to be abolished, and the entire country will be in danger.

Just when the emperor was anxious, Su Shi took the lead and Wang Ning'an instructed him to send an impeachment letter to Zhao Zhen.

Wen Yanbo built a mansion in his hometown, which exceeded the regulations of his ministers, and the address he chose was surrounded by dragon energy. Nearby villagers once witnessed with their own eyes that there were auspicious clouds, like lotus flowers, descending from the sky, falling into Wenfu, lingering for a long time, and flying away. Some local Taoists said that this was the energy of dragon and tiger, which was precious and unspeakable, and the supreme would appear in the future...

Su Shi finally wrote that Wen Yanbo built a house in this place with ulterior motives and obvious intentions. If he did not punish him severely, it would be impossible for nature to tolerate it!

...

"His Majesty!"

Wen Yanbo cried, "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, it is really wronged. Wang Ning'an is falsely accusing the old minister. He wants the old minister to go to the Western Regions, but he has no good intentions!"

Zhao Zhen smiled faintly, "Honey, I still believe in your character, but the situation in the court has been in chaos recently, and some things are messy, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors. As the Prime Minister, you have been for me, and I understand it in my heart!"

"Thank you for your understanding. It's all the fault of the old minister for being incompetent and unable to share the worries of Your Majesty!" Wen Yanbo cried again, "The old minister is willing to retire and return home, and ask Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Kuanfu, you are the only old minister in the court. How can I bear to let it go!"

Wen Yanbo was happy and was about to be polite, but Zhao Zhen changed his mind, "But because of this, I cherish our friendship with the king and the subject more and more. I really can't bear it. You have been in the position of prime minister for a long time and have been criticized by all parties. You should go to the northwest for me. If you don't have you, relying on some young people alone may not be able to favor such a large territory!" As he said, Zhao Zhen smiled with great hope, "Wenqing, are you willing to share my worries?"

Wen Yanbo's mouth twitched, and his heart was bleeding!

The surname is Wang!

You are really not a thing!

What kind of grudges do I have with you?

You are leaving, why are you trying to cheat me!

What else can Wen Yanbo say? If he insists on refusing, the next time Wang Ning'an writes a letter will not be the nonsense!

In this case, the two ministers from the Political Affairs Hall were involved. As the Prime Minister, Wen Yanbo, you, have no guilt at all?

If it really starts, I don’t know what the consequences will be!

Lao Wen is a smart man. After he thought about it for a moment, he understood that he had planned to plot against Wang Ning'an, Fu Bi, this, and that!

Only one thing he forgot: when everyone else was plotting into it, he was the only giant left in the court. Will Zhao Zhen feel at ease to hand over the government affairs to him?

This is called the mechanism calculating too smart!

Wen Yanbo had no choice but to receive the order.

Just the day after Wen Yanbo was transferred from the outside, Zhao Zhen quickly gave up the order and the new staff of the Political Affairs Hall were released.

What surprised everyone was that it was not Wang Anshi who took over the position of Prime Minister, but Bao Zheng!

Lao Bao was in poor health and had been sick all the time. Recently, he faded out of the court for a year or two. He was far away from the mundane affairs of the political arena, but Bao Zheng's health has recovered a little. This time he was asked to take over the Prime Minister, and Wang Anshi was promoted to the second prime minister.

Two deputy ministers were also vacant, and Sima Guang and Han Jiang took over.

In addition, Zhang Fangping was transferred to the position of Minister of War, Di Qing took over the position of General Staff, Su Xun took over the position of Chief Censor, Chen Xiliang was promoted to the position of Minister of Revenue, and Sun Gu took over the position of the Ministry of Personnel... The entire Song Dynasty had a major blood change.

Through this adjustment, the original conservative forces were almost wiped out.

The position of Prime Minister was also handed over to Bao Zheng, who was upright, steady, loyal and reliable!

Zhao Zhen couldn't understand what he meant. He needed reforms, but what he needed was controllable reforms! In the last stage of his life, the old emperor longed for stability and stability... and the new Political Affairs Hall and the Six Ministry were just in line with his hopes!

As for other gods and monsters who can torture, go to the Western Regions...
