Bianjing.

The imperial city has also been taken over by Lao Bao Yida Song Dynasty. Except for one place: Shangqing Palace.

It was the temple of the 28th generation of Tianshi, the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a landmark building of the imperial city, representing the prosperity and prosperity of Taoism in the Song Dynasty.

During this period, the emperor did not care about affairs and had been studying the so-called alchemy techniques in an attempt to prolong his life. The reason why this place is special is that it is controlled by General Manager Chen, and Ouyang Xiu had met the emperor in Shangqing Palace before. Someone believed the old Ouyang's words, which is why everyone could not confirm what was wrong with the emperor.

But Bao Zheng only believed in the Song Dynasty and only believed in himself, so he eventually became a mess.

At this evening, Shangqing Palace was surrounded. Old Chen was a man of martial arts and was so powerful that he stood up at the door and said that no one was allowed to move. He even showed off with an embroidery needle.

However, Bao Zheng, who had long wanted to invite General Manager Chen to have tea, gave an order, considering that Old Chen had offended Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao before, Old Chen, who claimed to be the best in the world, was in trouble this time. He was beaten by Old Liao Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, three peerless masters, and his nose was bruised and swollen under the attention of everyone, and the embroidery needle was also confiscated as a weapon.

Before he could break in, suddenly, the gate of the Shangqing Palace made of mahogany opened. He was wearing a yellow robe and was not very energetic. Zhao Zhen walked out slowly to support the door and looked at everyone silently.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Everyone changed their colors at a glance, and they immediately knelt on the ground.

Bao Zheng was also shocked. He determined in advance that the emperor had an accident or was kidnapped by a villain, so he was so confused. But now he saw Zhao Zhen appear with his own eyes, so Old Bao said in surprise: "Why is the official family going to make such a mysterious thing?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand lazily, without answering, and looked up at the afterglow of the sunset, thinking, it seemed that the world was still my world, and it was not messy yet.

But he felt more and more premonition that Zhao Zhen, who was not as big as before, didn't know how long he had left, and he was somewhat souvenir and reluctant to leave. He was in power for so many years and had been very passionate about his efforts to govern, but now he saw the afterglow not the light of the empire. The Song Dynasty was still groping forward in the darkness, and the politics was relatively chaotic.

Bao Zheng had been standing by the emperor for a while, but seeing that Lao Zhao had not spoken, Bao Zheng couldn't help but say, "The official family said something. The old ministers were not going to complain about the official family's cultivation, just because the emperor's affairs were not private affairs, but state affairs."

"Who died during this period?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked with a strange look.

Bao Zheng was stunned and said, "No one I know has died, but it is hard to say if I don't know."

"That's good, what about the queen, did she respect her polite?" Zhao Zhen asked again.

Bao Zheng was stunned again, not knowing what Lao Zhao meant, so he had to shake his head and said, "I don't know what the official family means, but the old minister did not find out that the queen had committed any illegal acts."

"Where is the leader of Tongtian Sect Lu Chunyang?" Zhao Zhen asked again.

"He got close to the Queen, but this didn't mean anything. Lu Chunyang is the master of the Queen's brother Cao Qi, and he was like this a long time ago." Bao Zheng said sternly.

"What else is there except these?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"The Emperor of Liao has passed away. There is no news of the new emperor ascending the throne yet. The direction of hegemony is still confusing, and there is no official letter of state to our dynasty to ask for condolences." Bao Zheng told the truth.

Zhao Zhen changed his expression slightly and murmured: "It's really a star change... The royal family may have something big... Could it be that Lu Chunyang's prophecy is really..."

Bao Zheng interrupted: "What the officials said is too confusing, although the old minister had heard about the star change earlier."

"It's so cruel." Zhao Zhen said with a strange expression, "Now Lu Chunyang has become a half-immortal. I, the Song Dynasty, have always advocated Taoism. The officials and nobles in the capital have basically had an affair with Taoist priests. Is Lu Chunyang successful in entering Beijing?"

"This seems...can't we say they have a problem?" Bao Zheng said.

"Do I say they have any problems?" Zhao Zhen asked back.

Bao Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "The old minister is not here to argue with the official family, but to clarify the facts. The old minister is concerned about the safety of the Song Dynasty. You do not need to target the old ministers."

"You..." Zhao Zhen was so angry that hesitated for a moment, "I originally wanted to scold you, but after thinking about it, I would seem stingy. And now it seems that you, Bao Zheng, are doing well, you have played your role."

"As the official left-behind Tokyo, the old minister should, there is no need to say anything about the official," said Bao Zheng.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Who do Lu Chunyang contact with except for the queen?"

Bao Zheng said the truth: "As far as I know, I have had contact with Wen Yanbo's husband, but that doesn't mean anything."

Zhao Zhen didn't want to argue with him, and asked again: "Bao Zheng, please answer me, did Wen Yanbo give you advice on your takeover of the capital and the imperial city?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "No, this is the old minister's own judgment, and then execute it. However, Wen Yanbo's husband persuaded me to relieve my state several times, and said that I was possessed by Han Qi, but I ignored him. I also arrested Zhang Congxun, who was the one of Fu Bi's husband. Although Fu Bi's husband was dissatisfied, he did not blame me for the wrongdoing."

Zhao Zhen frowned when he heard about Wen Yanbo. When he heard Fu Bi's expression, he felt a little relieved and thought to himself: I am worthy of protecting this guy at that time. Although Fu Bi is related to interests, he is still quite sober.

Bao Zheng said again: "Zhang Congxun him..."

Zhao Zhen interrupted lightly: "I don't care, how did Wang Anshi and Jia Changchao do it?"

Bao Zheng said: "Jia Changchao did not show up. After listening to my statement, Wang Anshi confirmed the authority of the left-behind department, and sent his confidant Lao Liao to the left-behind department to supervise the left-behind department throughout the process. He had some differences with me, but overall support me to enter the Shangqing Palace."

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Where is Han Jiang?"

Bao Zheng said: "At that time, the queen disagreed with the old minister's actions and asked Han Jiang to intervene in the investigation in the manner of the mother of the country. However, after discussing with the old minister and Wang Anshi, Han Jianghui supported the jurisdiction of the left-behind department and maintained the national military martial law order of the Privy Council."

Zhao Zhen murmured for a while, "It's okay, Wen Yanbo can't get over..."

Bao Zheng said: "Please explain clearly, what does it mean to be confused?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but say deflatedly: "Why haven't you seen Wang Rong before?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "The old minister doesn't read Xiaobaiwen."

"Learning is endless, and you don't understand whether you keep up with the times?" Zhao Zhen said.

Bao Zheng said shamelessly: "When he returned to the official family, the old minister has achieved great success in his studies. When he is old, he will not continue his efforts. There is no need to learn other methods anymore."

"You..." Zhao Zhen was depressed again, and in the end he didn't want to argue with him, so he had to instruct: "Bao Zheng passed on my will and relieve the affairs of Wen Yanbo's subordinate from Pingzhang."

Bao Zheng was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Please be cautious. There is nothing wrong with Wen Yanbo's husband. At this critical moment, it will definitely be unfavorable to the political stability of our dynasty."

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't want to say that he has not played a role. In fact, the prodigy and Wang Anshi have long made a point of view: because they don't do things, they won't make mistakes."

Bao Zheng said: "The old minister advised him again, this is not a reason to stop the prefect."

"How about the star change? Didn't he believe in it? The star change really happened, Lu Chunyang was right." Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"this……"

Bao Zheng was stupid. The emperor was a bit of a hooligan Long Aotian attitude, but this was really a reason to stop in the Song Dynasty tradition, or it should be called "avoidance". The emperor did not say that Wen Yanbo was wrong, but everyone believed in Taoist priests and Feng Shui now, and the Song Dynasty had this tradition, so after the star change, Wen Yanbo avoided suspicion, and no one had any refutation.

"Old minister... obey the order." Bao Zheng seemed a little older and whispered, "Who can be the prime minister and lead the court to the right direction at this critical period?"

"Jia Chang's resignation of Privy Councilor. Fu Bi was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat. Han Jiang served as the Chief Minister's Officer. Wang Anshi was transferred to the Deputy Privy Councilor and urgently summoned Han Qi back to Beijing to serve as Privy Councilor. That's it." Zhao Zhen finished speaking, looking tired.

Bao Zheng was so surprised that such a large personnel change at the top was an earthquake, but unfortunately he had his own logic and reasons.

Undoubtedly, Wen Yanbo and Jia Chang were shot into the star-changing gun. Fu Bi was a man with a strong and gentle man, and he was considered a central ruler, and he was overdoing it. It was completely in line with the logic of the officialdom when he was promoted from deputy prime minister to prime minister.

Wang Anshi was originally a member of the Tongzhi Privy Council, and his governance was equivalent to an intern. After the internship, no trouble occurred, and "turning into a regular basis" was a matter of time, which was considered a normal excessive.

Han Jiang was the same as this, and he was promoted to make up for the vacancies.

Han Qi's affairs will be controversial and rebound, but Han Qi is a man with a very strong mind and prestige is extraordinary. He is the type that may be refrigerated forever, but no one will be surprised when he suddenly takes up any position.

Bao Zheng had no choice but to do this. The real offensive team had been formed by the emperor, and he started from Chen Zhizhong's rescinding. With time to ferment, Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao's excessiveness, so in politics, this cannot be considered abrupt.

Chen Zhizhong's looseness was too much to the half looseness of Wen Yanbo's period. Now he used the reason for star change, and then the tightening of Fu Bi, coupled with Han Qi's hawkish thinking assistance, this is not too fast to say, and the centrifugal force is not small, but it is not enough to cause wrestling.

Bao Zheng frowned and thought to see the emperor leaving, and said, "Stay at the official family."

Zhao Zhen didn't want the old man to nag anymore, so he asked first: "What is the basis for you to take over the capital and the imperial city this time?"

Bao Zheng said: "It was something that happened during Wang Rong's mission to Xixia. He sorted it out and wrote a letter to ask Zhan Zhao to take him to the capital to ask the old minister to intervene."

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Besides being a prodigy, he is also a lucky general. He can always deal with it in time and expose some problems... He passed my order, and Wang Rong was appointed as the Chaosanlang and the Imperial College Doctor."

Bao Zheng suddenly expressed dissatisfaction with a dark face: "The official said he had made merits and said he was a blessing, and the minister did not object... However, just by using the words and sentences he wrote to the minister, as well as the font and calligraphy, he... could not be a doctor of the Imperial College?"

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said, "I also think what you said makes sense, so... add Chongzheng Palace to the storyteller."

Bao Zheng said: "This seems to be half a level higher than the doctor of the Imperial College? If the old minister remembers correctly."

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, the Imperial College wants him, I want him, Emperor Fukang and I like to listen to him tell stories."

"This... I am afraid that I will not be convinced. He has not returned to Beijing to report his work, nor has he seen any diplomatic results?" Bao Zheng said.

"I didn't say that he had made contributions in diplomacy, but two years since he took office, he turned the poor Funing County into the second county in the world, with his income second only to Kaifeng County. Is this fake? I feel that his experience has ended, and there is no need to wait for the three-year assessment under the Secretary of the Central Committee to call him back to Beijing to work." Zhao Zhen sighed.

When Lao Bao thought that this was the only way. Wen Yanbo, who most opposed the rapid promotion of children, has stepped down due to star change. So many positions have changed a lot. A Wang Rong is taking advantage of the troubled waters, so it will not attract too much attention.

After yy finished, seeing that the emperor was about to go in again, Bao Zheng said again: "The official should not be addicted to it. It is time to go and take a look at the government affairs that have been abandoned for so long. I will sort it out."

"I am very tired. I feel restless and confused when I leave this Shangqing Palace. It is as if my thoughts will follow someone. I am full of evil thoughts and my body cannot bear it. I don't want to leave now, otherwise I will not live long." Zhao Zhen said.

Bao Zheng looked at Old Chen, but saw that General Manager Chen nodded slightly and was serious. Bao Zheng couldn't help but feel horrified and wondered, is there really a monster in the imperial city causing trouble?

Thinking of this, Bao Zheng felt that the birthmark on his forehead seemed to be illuminating slightly.

Khan, Lao Bao was nicknamed Bao Longxin. I remember that when I was a child, an old man said that Lao Bao had a dragon heart, and that all evil would not invade anything. He also said that he could dream of being in a magical way to solve strange cases, but he didn't know whether it was true or not?

Shaking his head, Bao Zheng could not say anything anymore. He was not a grand tutor or a prime minister, so it was not convenient to overturn the emperor. If the emperor did not come out to manage politics, he would just hide in the Shangqing Palace to engage in feudal superstitious activities and pray for prolonging his life. No one could do anything about this.

Bao Zheng didn't believe this, but almost the entire Song Dynasty believed it, especially after Lu Chunyang's prophecy was fulfilled, Taoist priests became more active in Bianjing. It seemed as if it were popular in the families of those dignitaries, and almost all there were mages to keep the house. This is a fact.
