Qin Hui served as the Imperial Camp Department and organized the Imperial Camp Envoy Division, in addition to the deputy envoy Xu Sheng, with the support of the Empress and Zhi Yanzhi, he transferred some officials who were close to him to the Department and entrusted them with their posts. Qin Huizhi, who was in charge of military affairs during his tenure as governor of the Governor's Office, knew very well that he, the Imperial Battalion Division, was just an empty shell yamen, and he could not control the army of the whole country at all. He himself didn't plan to use chicken feathers as an arrow, he just wanted to pull up this banner and recruit troops.

For example, Wei Shixun, Tang Siwei, Lou Zhao and other officials, either part-time or full-time, are all listed in the Imperial Camp Division. Seeing this, Zheng Zhongxiong said to Shen Xue very proudly, Qin Hui is the right person. You see, as soon as he erected the banner of the Imperial Camp Division, he immediately gathered our people together, wouldn't it be as if he had been "marginalized" in the court before? Shen Ze also tried his best to praise Qin Hui's ability to Empress Liu.

However, although there are signboards and people, the Imperial Camp Division is an empty shelf and has no real power. All Qin Hui can do is to speak out in the court, that's all. He was naturally unwilling to do this, but in the court, there were either ministers who followed Xu Liang, or officials who flocked around Zhe Yanzhi, and the rest were either frivolous or pretentious. Qin Hui considered it all and thought that the best way for him was to help him and suppress Xu Liang.

The first thing to be done was to fill the void he had left behind. Participating in political affairs, he is actually a deputy prime minister, participating in confidential affairs, and has a lot of power. Now the remaining two people participating in politics, Li Ruopu and Zhu Zhuo, are both in the same party as Xu Liang, and one must be inserted. Empress Liu and Zhi Yanzhi both stared at this position.

King Lin has already found a cronie of his own, and is ready to choose the opportunity to make it clear to the emperor. It's a pity that it was a step too late, and under Qin Hui's reminder, Empress Liu quickly agreed with Shen Ze to prepare to put Hanlin Scholar Fan Tong on the throne of deputy prime minister. When Fan Tong was Empress Liu's grandfather Liu Yanqing as the "imperial envoy", he was his staff member, and he had an old relationship with the Liu family, so he naturally became a "rear party".

After deciding on the candidate, Liu Fengniang briefed the emperor, saying that there are still many ministers who follow Xu Liang in the court. Although Zheyan was supported by the official family, his people have great merit, and it is not easy to control. Your Majesty should promote a minister close to him to fill the vacancy of the governor's office. And looking at the DPRK and China, there is no more suitable than Fan Tong.

The emperor thought so, and when Zhe Yanzhi and Xu Liang both proposed to him as a new candidate for the governor's office, he suddenly lifted Fan Tong out and caught the two prime ministers off guard. The so-called sandpiper and clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits, which is exactly this reason. After Fan Tong was promoted to the position of Governor of the Political Affairs, he adhered to the meaning of the Middle Palace, and in case of trouble, he was consistent with Zheyan and specifically aimed at Xu Liang Group.

Xu Liang lost this, and when he was looking for an opportunity to fight back, his political enemies set their eyes on Li Ruopu again. Qin Hui proposed to Zhi Yanzhi that Li had reached the age of Zhishi when he participated in politics, and because of Xu Liu's cover-up, he had not retired, and the officials had not asked. Now, he can use this excuse to force him to retire and go to the next city.

Zhi Yan followed his words, and originally wanted to impeach Li Ruopu through the mouth of the official. However, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhiyuan are both controlled by Xu Liu, and Zhi Yanzhi couldn't find anyone at all, forcing him to come forward in person and impeach him, which is really a bit of a copy. As soon as the matter came out, Xu Liang reacted quickly, and immediately went to the book, saying that Li Ruopu had indeed reached the age of retirement, but because of his outstanding governance, the court could not lack him, so he did not report it, and he also asked the emperor to issue a special decree to make Li Ruopu special.

Where are Zhe Yanzhi, Qin Hui, and even Liu Fengniang in the harem? Each shows his powers, and he has to get Li Ruopu away. However, at this time, the emperor moved his mind.

That's right, he supported Zheyan to get up, it was indeed to restrain Xu Liang. But that doesn't mean he doesn't trust Xu Liang anymore. It's just that because Xu Liu's previous power was too great, to the point of monopolizing the government, someone must contain it. However, for this veteran of several dynasties and the minister who supported himself to ascend the throne, the emperor still has trust, and more importantly, there is a kind of dependence.

Since this period of time, Zhi Yanzhi and other ministers have been aggressive, and Xu Liu has been limited to passivity. If Li Ruopu is forced to Zhishi again, it will naturally hit Xu Liang hard, but this may not be what the emperor wants to see.

Zhao Jin, the emperor, has no ambitions, and does not want to be a hero, he only wishes that the world will be peaceful, not for merit, but for no fault. In addition, he is not very concerned about the government and politics, if he is asked to learn from his brother Zhao Chen and do everything himself, he is afraid that even the emperor will not want to do it. It is best to have a competent minister to share the burden for him. In his opinion, it is the most ideal situation for Zhi Yanzhi and Xu Liang to fight in the DPRK and China and contain each other. In this way, there is no need to worry about which side will sit big and form a situation where the tail is big.

If Xu Liang is continuously suppressed, if the quality of Zheyan grows to the point where Xu Liang was at the beginning, won't it lose the meaning of "decentralization"? It was based on this consideration that he rarely ignored the opinions of the queen and the prime minister, and issued a special decree, highly appraising Li Ruopu's merits in the Zhongshu, and made it clear that he would continue to serve without age restrictions.

In addition, there is another reason why the emperor is like this because it is not humane. That is, in the past, he put all his thoughts on the queen, and the two of them talked to me all day long, like glue. Now, he naturally favors Liu Fengniang very much, but his wife is in charge and has selected many beauties for him to enter the palace, which is not for showing.

Among them, especially the Zhu family and the Xu family are the most popular with him. As soon as Zhu entered the palace, he was named a "good person" by leapfrogging, and within a few months, he was named "Wanrong", and the emperor often stayed with her, talking about poetry, and was very appetizing. As for the Xu family, Zhao Jin also loves it very much, although she is not as family-educated as the Zhu family, but the elves are eccentric and extremely beautiful, and when the emperor is with her, he always laughs, and he has never been unhappy. The two beauties broke Liu Fengniang's monopoly in the harem, which naturally made the emperor no longer focus his attention on one woman. Naturally, the fathers of these two new favorites have been promoted.

This time, the plan was frustrated and failed to hit Qin Hui. He judged the hour and sized up the situation, and analyzed that three forces have now been faintly formed in the DPRK and China. One is Xu Liang, the second is Zheyan, and the third is the Liu family. Xu Liang, as an old and powerful faction, aroused the suspicion of the emperor, so he had Zheyan to take the position. Therefore, Xu Liang must have been the first to be defeated!

As for which faction he belonged to, he didn't really care. Depending on the situation, if Xu Liang falls, and Zhe Yanzhi controls the government, he is the faction of Zhe Yanzhi, and if Zhe Yanzhi also falls, he is the faction of the Liu family. However, these can be talked about later, and what matters now is to defeat Xu Liang!

And to defeat Xu Liang, you cut off his wings one by one, that is the next strategy. Attacking his governance philosophy is the best policy! What is Xu Liang's philosophy of governance? It is the main battle, and it advocates the Northern Expedition, the recovery of Hebei, and the recovery of Yanyun! As long as he destroys this proposition, Xu Liang will naturally not be able to gain a foothold in the imperial court, and no one will need to suppress it, and he will resign himself!

With this goal in mind, he proposed it to both the queen and Orihiko. A peace treaty was re-concluded with the Jin State and the boundaries were demarcated as a sign of mutual non-aggression. In this way, Xu Liang's plan to go north to Yanyun was naturally declared bankrupt!

This proposal was strongly endorsed by Liu Fengniang and Shen Ze, and they also believed that there was no problem with the emperor, because the official family did not want to fight! It is only necessary to jointly fold the quality of the matter and promote this matter in the DPRK and China.

But Qin Hui jumped up and down, but forgot one thing. That's right, Zhe Yanzhi is not on the same page with Xu Liu, and the two sides are inextricably linked. But no matter how hard it is, Zheyan is also the main battle faction!

When Qin Hui made this claim to him, King Lin made it clear that this matter could not be decided. Hebei is still under the control of the Jurchens, and that is my inherent territory. If the peace treaty is re-concluded and the boundaries are demarcated, it is a de jure recognition that Hebei and other areas that have not been recovered are the territory of the Jin State, which is absolutely not possible!

Zhe Zhonggu still has principles in the end, Qin Hui touched a nail, and he didn't dare to offend Zhe Tie, so he temporarily dispelled this idea. However, Liu Fengniang didn't know the height of the sky, and thought that Zhi Yanzhi did not agree, so let Qin Hui take the lead and promote this matter in the court, she hated Xu Liang. Qin Hui was not stunned, he knew that there was no support from Zheyan, and this matter was absolutely yellow, so he persuaded the palace.

Xu Liu also really felt that this time was different from the past, and he had a deep understanding of the fact that Zhe Yanzhi and the Liu family were sitting in the middle of the court. It is true that Xu Liu does not want to be a "power traitor". He was deeply influenced by his father Xu Shao, and longed to be a generation of Zhongxing virtuous ministers, hoping to complete the Zhongxing and unification of the Great Song Dynasty in his own hands, and do what his predecessors had not done. However, those who engage in politics basically should not expect anything high-spirited. Power can deceive people's hearts, and when you are in power, you naturally regard it as your private thing, and you can't allow others to fight for it or take it away!

At the moment, it can be said that it is very difficult to gain the upper hand in the internal competition. Zheyan was originally supported by the emperor to restrain himself, and the queen in the palace was the emperor's wife, so she couldn't help her. Xu Liang thought about it again and again, and could only borrow from the outside.

Where does this "power" come from? That's the country of gold. Wave the Northern Expedition and stabilize your position with military victories!

Coincidentally, last year, there was a "big minor" in various places, there was an abundance of grain and grass, and the money in the treasury was enough to support a war. Whether it is the Song army in the northwest or the south, they have already rested, and they have just come down from the battlefield, and the morale of the army is high! Moreover, if the army is used this time, there is no need to mobilize hundreds of thousands of elites as before, and spend a lot of money and food. With the old 9.20 million Western Army by his side, the Jin Army had to be on guard at all times, and only a limited-scale campaign was needed to take Hebei. In this way, the risk is small, the cost is low, and it is really worth the try!
