October is also a relatively important month for the Song people, because October 15 is the Xia Yuan Festival.

But even before October, the city is lit up and filled with festive atmosphere. Why? Because the sky has changed.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, except for the first few days when the whole city wore filial piety to mourn the dead emperor, in the next half month, almost the whole city celebrated the new emperor's ascension.

In the past, such a thing would not have happened. The reason why this happened was that Zhao Ji was taking revenge on his brother for suppressing him.

God knows how badly he was oppressed when Zhao Xu was still alive, and since his defeat in that battle made him lose face, he has been controlled at every turn.

The New Party did everything it could to squeeze out the ministers who supported him, and his henchmen withered day by day.

Fortunately, there are mainstays such as Cai Jing, who have always stood tenaciously above the court. There are also many officials who support him, and they have scattered their wealth to dredge up for him.

He himself was also under Cai Jing's suggestion, and he persevered to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Xiang.

As a result, in the battle for the prince, Zhao Ji received the support of the Empress Dowager Xiang and ascended the throne as the new emperor.

This man may have thought of being a Holy Lord at first, but after a week, his true nature was revealed.

He first deposed Zhang Dan, because every time he saw Zhang Dian, he could think of what Zhang Dian said at the beginning: 'King Duan is frivolous, and he cannot rule the world'.

However, now that he has become the new emperor, he slapped him in the face hard, but he still looked down on himself.

Zhao Xu is generous-minded and may choose to be probationed, but Zhao Ji can't bear it.

Literary and artistic young people like him have always been sensitive, and they want to play one play. So one day, after he couldn't bear it anymore, he told himself that he didn't have to endure it anymore.

On top of the court, with a wave of his hand, he deposed Zhang Dun.

As the leader of the New Party, Zhang Dan's loss of power represents the loss of power of the New Party.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, it is the old party, not the new party, that has the merit of supporting the dragon. When Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, many people were enlightened.

The dismissal of Zhangton was like a signal, and a large number of New Party officials were either removed or relegated to distant places.

Zeng Bu didn't object as bluntly as Zhang Dian, but it also fulfilled him. Zhao Ji needs an experienced minister to preside over the overall situation, and Zeng Bu is naturally the best candidate.

So Zhao Ji worshiped him as the right minister, but within a few days, he had a conflict with the left minister Han Zhongyan. And I don't know where to get Han Zhongyan's scandal, so I just squeezed Han Zhongyan out.

Judging from the later situation, it is very likely that Han Zhongyan's scandal was provided by Cai Jing. Because this old guy replaced Han Zhongyan and served as the left minister.

But a few days later, Zeng Bu had a conflict with Cai Jing again.

If you choose between Cai Jing and Zeng Bu, then Zhao Ji will definitely choose Cai Jing. After all, Cai Jing unswervingly supported him at the beginning, and Zeng Bu was at most halfway out

The monk of the family is not as good as Cai Jing when he accompanies his baldness.

It was at this time that the Zhenguo Army returned to the city of Tokyo.

What is the image of the Zhenguo Army in the eyes of the Song people, that is, an invincible army that has won a hundred battles. Since the Zhenguo Army set out on the expedition, basically no bad news has been heard about them.

Therefore, the people of Tokyo City welcomed the Zhenguo Army very much, and even after hearing the news, they spontaneously went to the city gate to greet them.

What they didn't know, however, was that the Zhenguo Army would not enter Tokyo City at all.

Thirty miles outside the city, an official sent by the Privy Council read out the latest decree of the Privy Council, temporarily removing Tang Ning from his post and transferring him to the custody of the Criminal Department, and at the same time Zhao Tong took over Tang Ning's post and replaced Tang Ning to coordinate the Zhenguo army.

When the news reached the ears of the officers and men of the Zhenguo Army, there was an uproar. Of course, there are some people who think this is to be expected. After all, the marshal openly disobeyed the holy order at that time, and he was so angry that the eunuch even said the word rebellion.

But the marshal personally returned to Kaifeng Mansion with the Zhenguo army, which also shows that he has no disobedience. It should just be a process, and there should be no other problems.

But another part of the people think that Tang Ning is the core figure of the Zhenguo Army, these people are not many in number, but most of them are veterans of the Zhenguo Army who came from the Battle of Xiaoguan with Tang Ning, and the proportion of the Zhenguo Army is very high.

They felt that if Tang Ning was dismissed, then the Zhenguo Army would no longer be the Zhenguo Army.

However, they did not raise any objections for the time being, after all, the Privy Council was talking about temporary dismissal. It's better to observe for a while, and if something goes wrong, then make another plan.

Thirty miles outside of Tokyo, it was not only the Privy Council that greeted them, but also the people of the Criminal Department.

is the first person, Tang Ning is quite familiar. When he was tortured in the Criminal Department, Tang Ning had seen him.

"Danyang Hou." The man stepped forward and arched his hand towards Tangning, pursed his lips and said, "Although I don't want to do this, you know it."

Disobeying the Holy Order and beating angels is a serious crime according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Our criminal department is also acting in accordance with the law, if there is any offense, please don't be surprised by Danyang Hou. ”

Tang Ning didn't say anything else, just nodded.

When the man saw Tang Ning cooperating, he didn't say anything. stopped the behavior of the people next to him who wanted to step forward to restrain Tang Ning, turned the horse's head and said, "Then please ask Danyang Hou to come with us!" ”

After that, he snorted and took the lead.

Tang Ning also shook the reins and chased after him. Lin Wei and Qi Fu followed, and when Fang La saw this, he shouted anxiously: "Family master! ”

Then he was about to chase after him, but was stopped by a small rock.

"What are you doing!" Fang La glared at the little stone and gritted his teeth: "You know that the head of the family must be dangerous and abnormal when he goes on this trip, why do you want to stop me!" ”

"Think long-term." Xiao Shi was surprisingly calm at this time, and he seemed to take Fang La's place: "I know your feelings, and I feel the same way as you."

But impulsiveness does not relieve the head of the house now

crisis, we still have to discuss a suitable solution. ”

"......" Fang La took a deep look at the direction in which Tang Ning left, then turned his head to look at the small stone, and finally just nodded reluctantly.

Then he pushed away the small stone and said: "I've been hugging it for a long time, it's weird and disgusting." ”

“……”

The people from the Criminal Department escorted Tang Ning directly into Tokyo City from the other side, and they also had to consider the impact.

Anyway, Tang Ning is also the commander of the Zhenguo Army, and he is a general who is very important to the first emperor. Now that the bones of the first emperor are not cold, they can't wait to transfer the Zhenguo army back from the front line, which has already made some of the people whisper.

And now, they are going to arrest Tang Ning in prison, how does this make those people who are themselves quite complaining? Even if you are a fool, you can guess that there must be something greasy in this.

Therefore, the Criminal Department did not dare to escort Tang Ning to swagger through the city, and it was already too much to not let the Zhenguo Army enter the city, and then escort Tang Ning into the city in front of many people, would this government still have a reputation?

So in this case, Tang Ning was quietly taken to the Criminal Department.

Yan Shangshu had not yet retired, and after seeing Tang Ning, he first shook his head and sighed, and then said to Tang Ning: "You, you are confused." Even if you don't want to keep doing it, you can't do it. ”

After that, he walked into Tang Ning's ear and whispered: "Aren't you pouring cold water on the official family!" ”

Tang Ning didn't make any reply to Yan Shangshu's words, but pursed his lips and said, "Tang is guilty, and I ask Yan Shangshu to deal with it." ”

Yan Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then sighed and ordered his subordinates to put Tang Ning in prison pending trial.

At this time in the palace, Zhao Ji was painting and having fun with his concubines in the expanded Yanfu Palace.

This palace, which did not occupy a large area before him, was built as a place for the emperor and queen to enjoy from the beginning, but Zhao Xu had never been here. Most of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were so busy with government affairs that they didn't have time to visit this place.

Usually, except for the palace people who are in charge of cleaning the palace, basically no one comes.

But Zhao Ji had a soft spot for this place, and after he succeeded to the throne, he found it small and dissatisfied. So with a wave of his hand, he expanded on a large scale.

Although the expansion has not yet been completed, the place where Zhao Ji frequents has a new look. Spacious and comfortable, it is the style that Zhao Ji likes very much.

"Official, Danyang Hou has been taken to the prison of the Criminal Department." Tong Guan stood beside Zhao Ji respectfully and said in a low voice.

Zhao Ji turned his head and glanced at him and said, "I heard that the surnamed Tang ordered people to beat you up, but is there such a thing?" ”

Tong Guan hurriedly shook his head and said: "Danyang Hou wants to beat the slave maid, and that is also the slave maid's mistake first." Danyang Hou understands the righteousness and will never make a move on the slave for no reason......"

Zhao Ji said with emotion: "Okay! You were obviously beaten by the guy surnamed Tang and still helped him speak, Tong Guan, I really didn't misunderstand you!

Hum! This surnamed Tang, isn't he too indifferent to me? It also depends on the owner to beat the dog! ”
