Zhao Zhen set off to return to Beijing in the afternoon of the same day, Su Jin appeared in the crowd to see him off, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the boiling Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were not in agreement, and now it seems that it is indeed a thing, but it is already a thing of the past.

Su Jin had to stay for a few days before leaving, because he still had a lot of things to arrange, and Su Jin would never believe Zhao Zhen's promise, but because of another big plan in his heart, Su Jin had to prepare for this plan for a year and a half, so he also used the plan to delay the army and promised Zhao Zhen first.

Li Zhong and the Su family are very worried about Su Jin's decision, throughout the ages, they have not turned their faces with the emperor but can retreat with their whole body, Zhao Zhen is so enduring, but because of the current situation, he will settle accounts afterwards.

Su Jin only ordered two things, Yan Biyun stayed in Mingzhou from now on to supervise the progress of the twenty large ships set by the Mingzhou Shipyard, and these twenty large ships must be completed and launched this year; The second is to order Li Zhong to increase the intensity of importing saltpeter from the city, and make all of them into gunpowder bags according to the ratio for proper preservation.

As for why he did this, Su Jin didn't say a word, he couldn't reveal his purpose prematurely, in the current situation, everything can only be carried out quietly, and if he is not careful, the plan may fail.

In March of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, Su Jin officially succeeded Yan Shu of Zhishi as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, Zhao Zhen changed the name of the year to He, which naturally hid the new atmosphere of Su Jin's coming to power and changing the Yuan, as well as the meaning of harmony between the monarch and the minister.

Su Jin returned to power, and the chaotic situation was immediately reversed, which was originally his own secret means, and the person who tied the bell untied the bell by himself was not able to catch it, Su Jin was promoted to prime minister, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty celebrated with their foreheads, and the people spontaneously set off firecrackers and hung lanterns to celebrate, and Su Jin also issued a letter of apology through the Pearl Daily, apologizing for the delay in official business and the many chaos caused by the previous 'poor health', and ordered the development and reform department to set up subordinate departments in the country to verify the losses, and give appropriate compensation to the people who have suffered losses.

But for those who took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire after Su Jin's illness retreated, Su Jin also ruthlessly announced the list of businessmen, explicitly prohibiting these businesses and individuals from getting involved in the infrastructure of the Great Song Dynasty and the rights of the preferential policies of the Development and Reform Division.

In the imperial court, Su Jin's explanation for this is that the policy is the policy of a country, and it must have continuity when it is decided, and it cannot be changed overnight; Unless it is a major mistake that must be stopped immediately, it should never be changed by personnel changes; The fact that these businessmen made a fuss because of their illness was a misreading and contempt for the state's policy, and they must be severely punished.

Zhao Zhen knew that Su Jin was doing it for himself, and Su Jin's subtext was that even if I left in the future, with this lesson, no one would be confused because of my departure; In fact, Su Jin understood that the source of the chaos was actually a panic about the changes in the policies of the imperial court, and if Zhao Zhen did not understand this, he would never be able to stop this panic.

Zhao Zhencai no matter what gesture Su Jin makes, the game between him and Su Jin has fallen behind completely, although the attitude of the hundred officials is the same as always, but he knows that his status in their minds has been greatly reduced, how can he regain his prestige, there is only one way, to get rid of Su Jin under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the imperial court; After the complete showdown on the day of Shazhou, Zhao Zhen understood Su Jin's terribleness, Su Jin's terrible thing is not the size of his ability, the number of contacts and the amount of family wealth, but because of his enlightened people's wisdom, he has no halo at all in Su Jin's eyes, he is just an ordinary person, if this layer of window paper is pierced, how can he keep the throne and keep this eternal supreme honor.

But everything needs to be carried out slowly, not too explicitly, and the price of angering Su Jin is also in the eyes, especially Su Jin's sentence 'The generals in the northwest will rebel, and I have five thousand fire guns on hand', which has become the reason why Zhao Zhen did not dare to move. This also became the reason why Zhao Zhen hated Su Jin, almost all the heroes after the destruction of Liao were under the command of Su Jin of the Northwest Army, and Su Jin had secretly made five thousand firecrackers at hand, which showed that he had premeditated, and this alone could be killed hundreds of times.

In May of the first year of Zhihe, Zhao Zhen appointed Wang Dynasty Ma Han as the squire of the military department, and removed the position of deputy commander of the two Praetorian Guards, which seemed to be promoted by one level, but it was to strip the two of them of their military power. After doing this, for a few days, Zhao Zhen didn't dare to look at Su Jin head-on, he was waiting for Su Jin's reaction, he didn't believe that Su Jin couldn't understand his intentions; But Su Jin didn't react, he was still busy every day, and he didn't seem to notice it.

A month later, Zhao Zhen, who succeeded in the trial, adjusted the position of Jingtai, the general of the Northwest, and transferred him to the position of the Fujian Road Transfer Envoy, but Su Jin still did not respond.

Immediately after Zhao Zhen had the courage to adjust the positions of the former generals of the Northwest Army one by one, they had been promoted or deprived of their military rights in the form of transfer, and by the end of July, Zhao Zhen had completed the change of military power, and Su Jin was still busy handling what he thought was the most important thing, what pension and medical system, what unemployment relief system, what water conservancy dam, what road to Wanxian and the like, Zhao Zhen promised one by one never to make a sudden attack, and even Su Jin asked him to make a decree to announce to the world that these policies will not change for at least ten years. He also did not hesitate to make an order.

On the surface, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is harmonious and peaceful, but many people are beginning to worry, and even outsiders have seen the abnormality of Zhao Zhen's various behaviors, and they also secretly reminded Su Jin to be more careful.

Su Jin angrily reprimanded them for many things, these people had good intentions, but they were scolded back by Su Jin, and they all shook their heads and sighed secretly, the disaster was approaching, but Su Jin didn't know anything, how could this be good.

When the news reached Zhao Zhen's ears, Zhao Zhen felt a sense of relief, he thought that Su Jin didn't know that his arrangements were aimed at him, but that Su Jin believed too much in his promises, Su Jin thought that the agreement on the sandbank could be relieved even if it was supported by a letter of guarantee written by himself, but in fact, how could those things tie his hands and feet? Just like the Taimiao testament, obeying him is the testament, and not obeying it is a bunch of nonsense.

In August, Su Jin began to promote a large number of new recruits to enter the imperial examination into the key departments of the Development and Reform Department and the Third Division, and began to give them detailed training on the operation of the Development and Reform Department and the purpose and means of all the policies implemented, which was Su Jin's promise to Zhao Zhen; Two months later, at the end of October, Su Jin had already handed over several of Su Ji's large mines, including Pearl City, to the imperial court as promised.

There are still four months before the agreed deadline, Su Jin is making the final preparations before leaving, in the selection of the prime minister, Su Jin has already proposed one person to Zhao Zhen, that is Fu Bi, as for whether to use it or not, it is not up to Su Jin to decide.

Zhao Zhen had already made up his mind, he could not let Su Jin retreat, he instructed Zhang Yaozuo to close the four cities during the New Year of the second year of Zhihe, and sent forbidden troops to various places, and captured Su Jin and his family members on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Zhen sternly warned Zhang Yaozuo that this matter must be done beautifully without the slightest rumor revealed, and let him become the coveted privy envoy, and once he failed, he would curse his entire clan to calm the situation.

Zhang Yaozuo knew that this was an action related to fate, so he carefully selected tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers to inspect the defense of the Great Song Dynasty states and sent them to various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, preparing to make a sudden move at that time, so that Su Jin and his henchmen would have no chance to fight back.

On November 13, heavy snow fell in the capital, and Su Jin set up a banquet in the house to feast hundreds of officials, because the concubine Rou Niang gave birth to a third son for Su Jin, named Su Li; Zhao Zhen also came to congratulate him in person, raised a glass and drank with Su Jin, congratulated the Su family on adding a new Ding, and awarded the official position of the newborn child Tiger Wing Lieutenant on the spot; During the banquet, Su Jin talked and laughed and scolded, and changed to a cautious and boring image since the phase, flying all over the room with yellow jokes, and even joking about Zhao Zhen's face, jokingly saying that the emperor's face is getting longer and longer, big and small, but it is a bit like that. Speech. son, let the officials both tremble and secretly despise him for not changing his vulgar nature.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about Su Jin's verbal insults, only looked at Su Jin quietly, and sighed in his heart: such an outstanding character, but he had to destroy him with his own hands, it was really a little unbearable, now that the net has been completed, Su Jin has become a rabbit, so he can go crazy and sell stupid nonsense, anyway, he can't survive Chinese New Year's Eve.

Su Jin shouted in his heart, from the day he woke up from the sickbed in the Su family's house in Luzhou fifteen years ago, how could he have thought that fifteen years later, he could reach this height, even Song Renzong had to endure his own ridicule, but he still had to force a smile.

Fifteen years ago, he was the son of a small businessman, and he was bullied by the little bugs of the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou. It's a world of difference.

Fifteen years ago, I came alone, frightened, and careful; Now his wives and concubines are in groups, the family property is the enemy country, Su Ji industry employees nearly 10,000, each carefully selected to stand alone, Su Ji is already the first business empire of the Great Song Dynasty, involving mines, roads, overseas trade, urban real estate, financial exchange and other giant industries, each financial road is a way to enter thousands of gold, just like a dream of yellow sorghum as splendid.

Su Jin was satisfied, drunk and unconscious.
