Zhao Zhen is not stupid, and diligent in government affairs, this is in the implementation of the emperor's rights, there is nothing wrong, but there will be friction between the ministers and the ministers, this friction is inevitable, in any dynasty, the friction between the monarch and the ministers exists, but the intensity is different.

Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled, he really cared too much about certain things, what imperial power supremacy, what imperial prestige, these things were given by others! Haven't Wenchen been defending imperial power with such slogans for thousands of years? The flip side of maintaining imperial power is defending oneself.

The relationship between these literati and themselves is to rely on each other, and neither side can do without anyone, Zhao Zhen believes that if he does not rely on Wenchen, he will not even be able to manage the city of Beijing under his feet, let alone the Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty?

These ministers are testing the suppression of the imperial power on the relative power, that is, they are testing the extent to which the relative power can go without causing a backlash from the imperial power, just like a friendly match, neither side can let themselves lose, nor can they let the opponent lose too ugly.

From the Qin and Han dynasties, to the current Great Song Dynasty, except for a few special periods, the contest between the prime minister and the imperial power is no longer carried out all the time, the so-called phase power is general, it is the collective embodiment of civil power, it is much more moderate than military power, which is also the reason why the emperors of the past dynasties like Wenchen and reuse Wenchen.

Since Zhao Zhen was in power, everything he has done can bring benefits to the Great Song Dynasty, and he has also reused Wenchen, which has brought new hope to Wenchen, but gradually Zhao Zhen himself has not felt that he is becoming more and more arbitrary, and he really does the so-called Chrysostom Yuyan and exports it into a constitution.

Although this is what Wenchen likes to talk about the most, it is the most frightening and worrying thing, once this happens, it will make the imperial power can control the country at will, and the imperial power will far surpass the power in the hands of civil officials, and it cannot be restrained.

The ministers of the Great Song Dynasty knew very well that once there was no restriction on the imperial power, the prime minister's power would become an ornament, and the same would become an ornament for these civil officials, no, it was just something slightly better than the ornament.

They can feel that the reason why they planned to make trouble for the students who failed to make the list this time, and finally caused a stampede, was not to criticize Zhao Zhen's imperial examination reform, but to attack the imperial power, but the result was very ugly.

Zhao Zhen can feel the changes in these metaphors, this undercurrent hidden under the harmony of the monarch and the minister, if he was originally bound to compromise slightly, but now he can't do it, a person has been the emperor for a long time, he will be a little bent on going his own way, and he will always feel that what he is doing is for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is right, and the courtiers should implement it.

The palace candles in the Qinzheng Hall were slightly swayed by the wind, and the swaying of this small flame made the drinks on the wall dance wildly.

Sancai saw the official staring at the dancing shadows in a daze, and immediately stepped forward to light another gilded crane lamp, and after lighting it, finally the shadows in the hall were not so shaking.

Zhao Zhen had a flash of inspiration, stretched out his hand to extinguish the candle that Sancai had just lit, and the room continued to "dance wildly" Zhao Zhen couldn't help muttering: "Only when the two forces are balanced with each other, will the environment be stable?" I'm wrong......"

The two candlesticks in front of him made Zhao Zhen understand something, there should not be hostility between the imperial power and the prime minister's power, nor should it be completely calm, it is normal to rub against each other, and the balance of power between the two sides is the best, just like the two candles in front of him, only after they are lit, will the whole palace be bright.

And a good emperor can make these two rights complement each other, and finally become his own use, serving the whole country, Zhao Zhen suddenly found that he has always stood above the emperor to manage the country from the perspective of a savior, not from the perspective of an emperor.

Perhaps he had an accumulation of knowledge that the ancients did not know, which made him quickly lost in the essential difference between the emperor and the god, and now he suddenly found that although he was very disgusted with others to deify him, he had been unconsciously deifying himself.

It was the courtiers who suddenly pulled him back to the world, letting him know that he was not omnipotent, and he also needed the assistance of the ministers, and the two candlesticks in front of him represented the imperial power and the other represented the prime minister's power, but they did not represent the military power, because the rights in the hands of the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty were greatly restricted.

Even after Zhao Zhen himself became pro-government, he did not let go of military power, but only slightly relaxed the use of military power, and only limited to people whom Zhao Zhen himself trusted, and the privy envoy Di Qing is an excellent example.

Zhao Zhen, who had figured everything out, suddenly felt that he should rush to rejoice, if he ran wild on the road of "becoming a god", who knew what the Great Song Dynasty would become in the future?

Pick up the gourd leaf soup sent by the queen, this thing is a rare delicacy, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Qi Min Yaoshu" has a record of it: with five catties of gourd, three catties of mutton, two liters of green onions, salt ants and five he, the taste of the mouth.

The mutton stew is very bad, the smell of the gourd filter almost disappears, only the deliciousness of the mutton remains, and the bright red wolfberry has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, Zhao Zhen looked at Sancai and said, "This is sent by the queen?" ”

Sancai replied with a smile: "Yes! Official, this is the queen specially ordered the imperial kitchen to make it, and asked the slave maid to send it, look at it tonight......"

Zhao Zhen smiled: "What's the matter, I don't even have a little privacy now?" Who else in this palace doesn't know that I am sitting in this palace of diligence? If you move the rescue troops to the harem in the future, I will not spare it! Mouthing too much is also a taboo for palace people, be careful of making a mistake! ”

Sancai nodded again and again and said aggrievedly: "The slave and maid are wrong, but the slave and maid are for the sake of the official family, even if they commit a verbal karma, the king of Hades will not blame them, at least the slaves and maids are the same as the ministers, and they have done their duty as courtiers!" ”

How could Zhao Zhen not hear the voice? Waved his hand again and again: "Get out!" Summoned Tongping Zhangshi Pang Ji, participated in the political affairs Xia Zhu, and Yan Shu came to meet him! ”

Since the emperor is laughing and scolding himself, it is a turn of the peak, as the capital in the palace, he should have been on the emperor's side, but things are far more complicated than he imagined, and even the queen has a relationship, and in the end, it is the one in the middle palace who understands how to behave himself, which makes the official family let go of their knots.

Sancai lowered his head and kept staring at the two gilded crane candlesticks and slowly left, this is the wonderful method that the queen mother taught herself, Sancai didn't know why the official family could understand the relationship after seeing their simple two wax actions.

But the three only knew that the people who knew the official family had the entire palace and the entire Great Song Dynasty, and they had not passed the queen's mother......
