Shortly after Liu Chengxun's death, a sudden blizzard fell in Kaifeng Prefecture, the temperature dropped sharply, and the number of people suffering from the epidemic decreased sharply. People at that time said that Liu Chengxun's heroes did not disperse after Liu Chengxun's death and protected the people. Some temples even had statues of Liu Chengxun and placed them in the side halls. The people worshiped them one after another, and the incense was very strong.

Perhaps Liu Chengxun really had spirits in heaven. In late December, the Kaifeng Prefecture's epidemic alarm was successfully lifted, and the work of fighting diseases and preventing plagues was finally successful. Compared with the deaths of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in history, this time the epidemic caused less than two thousand deaths, and the work of fighting diseases and preventing plagues was considered a complete achievement. However, because of the death of King Wei, the historians felt that this success was greatly reduced. The incident that should have been written in a big way was also mentioned by the historians in the Spring and Autumn style.

Emperor Liu Zhiyuan was overly saddened by the loss of his beloved son, which led to a recurrence of his old illness and was unable to deal with political affairs for the time being. Considering the future heirs, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly appointed his second son Liu Chengyou as the general of the Right Guard, and the Da Nei Prefecture was investigated. At the same time, Liu Zhiyuan ordered the Privy Councilor Yang Bin to work with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat to deal with military and political affairs together, and ordered Liu Chengyou to follow Yang Bin and Su Fengji to learn to handle political affairs.

As a result, the first thing Yang Bin and Su Fengji dealt with was the issue of the candidate for Kaifeng Prefecture. With Liu Chengxun's death, the most popular position of Kaifeng Prefecture was vacant. I heard that this time it was not the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart, but was elected by the ministers. Many officials with idle positions began to run for office, and the one who was most passionate was Hou Yi.

A real man should not be without power for a day. Hou Yi was the governor of Fengxiang Army in the past, and he ordered ten thousand people to serve. Now he is trapped in Kaifeng. Although he has the title of Zhongshu Ling, he has no power in his hands. He is fined 200 when he goes to the street to spit! How could he bear the loneliness without power?!

Anyway, Hou Yi brought a lot of money when he left Fengxiang Mansion. Now it's time to spend money! Hou Yi didn't care about his heartache and bribed the powerful high-ranking officials without hesitation. The confidant of the emperor like Shi Hongzhao, the commander of the guards' personal army, or the Minister of the Secretariat, and the minister of the Secretariat, and the important officials of the court like Su Fengji, was the main target of Hou Yi's bribery.

Everyone was soft-hearted and short-handed, and praised Hou Yi's virtues. Su Fengji, who received Hou Yi's heavy gift, also praised Hou Yi. Even Liu Chengyou received Hou Yi's congratulations and said a lot of good things to Hou Yi. However, money is not omnipotent. Yang Bing is in charge of Jian Jing and does not accept bribes. Hou Yi gave him a lot of money three times in a row, but he was transferred to the emperor by Yang Bing, and he did not accept any penny. Moreover, Yang Bing was very displeased with Hou Yi's bribery of his ministers and clearly opposed Hou Yi being elected.

Yang Bin and Su Fengji had different opinions and each had supporters, so they reported the opinions of the officials to Liu Zhiyuan, which gave the emperor a headache. At the end of December, Liu Zhiyuan considered repeatedly and appointed Hou Yi as the acting prefect. If his political achievements were outstanding, he would become a regular person in the future. Of course, if he had no political achievements, he might be removed from office.

Hou Yi did not expect that he spent most of his life savings, but in the end he only received a temporary position. However, since he had reached this point and spent so much money, he could not retreat. So he took office immediately and gritted his teeth and took out a lot of money to repay everyone's recommendations. Especially to Su Fengji, Liu Chengyou and Hou Yi, and of course, he would have to say a few bad words from Yang Bin.

Su Fengji heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart, and he was even more displeased with Yang Bing.

Especially recently, Liu Zhiyuan considered that Yang Bin was honest and serious in his work, appointed talented people, and dared to advise him, and even appointed him as Privy Councilor, Minister of Personnel, and Tong Pingzhangshi. These positions were amazing, and in later generations, it was equivalent to: Minister of National Defense, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, and Vice Premier of the State Council! Su Fengji was very jealous of this. His current position is that although he is also the Secretariat of the Secretariat, Tong Pingzhangshi, although he also has the title of Deputy Legislative Yuan and Vice Premier of the State Council, he ranked below Yang Bin.

Moreover, the two have different styles of work. Even if they are in public, they have a lot of disputes over state affairs. Moreover, Su Fengji often abuses the power for personal gain!

Anyway, the emperor was seriously ill and could not take matters. Su Fengji relied on his favor from the emperor, doing things very casually, and was quite greedy for money and doing things without principles. Many people who wanted to be officials came to Su Fengji's mansion with money, and Su Fengji would not refuse anyone. As long as you give him enough money, no matter what your background or ability, he would dare to write a memorial to promote you.

However, Yang Bing attaches great importance to the ability of officials. Every time Su Fengji wants to promote people, Yang Bing will always interview the person to be promoted. If he feels that the other party does not have the corresponding ability, Yang Bing will suppress Su Fengji's memorial and even refute it.

After a while, the conflict between the two became increasingly greater. Yang Bing also became increasingly disgusted with Su Fengji. He once said to Shi Hongzhao and other military generals: These civil servants who were born in pens know that brushing and ink is useless, and it is just a waste of the country's funds! Su Fengji also complained to the people around him: Those martial artists are arbitrary, and if this continues, it may be a disaster in the future!

On this day, as usual, the two of them were discussing matters in the hall. Yang Bin said to Su Fengji: "Mr. Su, the Kaifeng Prefecture has made a lot of efforts to prevent and treat epidemics some time ago, especially Dong Zunhui and Jie Hui. Although they were seconded from the personal army of the guards, they have also made a lot of contributions. Now the crisis of epidemics has been lifted, and they should be rewarded to avoid the soldiers being disheartened."

Su Fengji was very dissatisfied with Yang Bing's refutation of his memorials during this period, so he naturally did not want Yang Bing to be satisfied. He sneered and said, "What contribution did they make? Didn't the King of Wei die because of the epidemic? If they are not held accountable for their dereliction of duty, even if I am a great man!"

Su Fengji's words made Yang Bing very helpless. The death of King Wei is a taboo topic in the court today, and no one dares to mention it now!

It is said that the concubine who caused him to be sick was not a simple background. Someone continued to investigate and she was actually related to the younger brother of Queen Li, Li Ye, and was said to be the daughter of Li Ye. If we look into it in depth, Li Ye was also responsible for the death of the King of Wei. Who asked him to give such a woman with bad moral character? What's more, did she have a bad moral character or had a premeditation?!

The queen Li had only one son, Liu Chengyou. Liu Chengxun was not the queen's biological son. Whether the concubine was deliberately placed by Li Ye to Liu Chengxun was still a mystery. No one dared to think about it. In order to calm the people's hearts, Emperor Liu Zhiyuan directly killed the three tribes of the concubine without interrogation.

Su Fengji smiled and said to Yang Bin: "Did Lord Yang accept the benefits of Dong Zunhui and others to do his best to him?"
