Chapter 322 The Unification of the World 16 When Zhao Hong was almost going crazy waiting in Wansui Lane, he was finally summoned to the palace. But after entering the palace, he was arranged to stand in the same place where he used to stand with all the civil and military officials to listen to the reading of the imperial edict. Zhao Hong already felt something was wrong at this time, so he asked Xia Zhen, the palace commander standing next to him: "Why am I still standing here at this time?" "You stand here before reading out the edict, and you can't arrive until after the reading. Go sit up there." Xia Zhen laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he said it seriously. After hearing Xia Zhen¡¯s advice, Zhao Hong felt a little relieved. But soon, he discovered through the light that someone was already sitting on the dragon throne. But by this time, it was too late. Zhao Yun¡¯s accession to the throne was already a certainty. How could Zhao Hong accept this fact? When it came time to pay homage to the new emperor, he stood upright and refused to bow. At such a grand ceremony, how could Xia Zhen, who was standing aside, allow him to disturb him? He was smiling just now , grabbed Zhao Hong's hair and forced him to kneel on the ground. At this time, Zhao Hong's status was almost that of a prisoner. After Zhao Yun ascended the throne, he was named King Ji and was driven out of Lin'an to live in Huzhou. People have to bow their heads under the low eaves. This is the situation Zhao Hong is in now. Originally, he was still dreaming about how he would carry out drastic reforms after ascending to the throne, and how he would kill all the villains and powerful officials in the court. But I never thought that now I would be the one being driven out and killed. Zhao Hong left Lin'an sadly, and Jiangnan District ushered in the real Shi Mi'an era. When Zhao Kuo was in power, Shi Miyuan had all the power, but now that he personally supported Zhao Yun to the throne, it was even more convenient for him to control him. Shi Miyuan was in charge of the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council. He had already lost the supervision of Tai Jian. Now that he had lost the checks and balances of the monarchy, he was able to control the government like a fish in water, which was very convenient. He can turn his hands into clouds, and he can turn his hands into rain. Originally, Empress Yang, who was promoted to the Empress Dowager, was supposed to listen to government affairs behind the curtain. However, after listening to the government affairs for several months, she found that the momentum was not right. Now Shi Miyuan has the final say in the court. She, the empress dowager, and Zhao Yun, the emperor, are nothing like each other. In order to maintain her current status, she ordered the withdrawal of the curtain and returned to power, and no longer visited Shi Miyuan. water. Zhao Yun, on the one hand, had no foundation, and on the other hand, he was grateful to Shi Miyuan for his great transformation, turning him from a commoner into the nominal master of Jiangnan District. And he also witnessed Zhao Hong's fate with his own eyes. Although Zhao Hong was a prince now, he was actually worse than an ordinary citizen. Apart from having no worries about food and clothing, it was impossible for Zhao Hong to leave his residence in Huzhou. Therefore, he simply said nothing, didn't care about anything, and left everything at the mercy of Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan was very scheming. He completely took back the power of appointing and removing officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and directly let the Prime Minister's Office take charge of dispatching and dispatching in the name of "exclusion". He spread his party members all over the court and built a huge network of power. From the government officials to the lower state and county officials, and even the army generals, there are people from the Shi faction everywhere. Although Zhao Yun is now in charge of Jiangnan District, in fact, it has completely fallen into the control of Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan was very satisfied with Zhao Yun's performance, but accordingly, Empress Yang, now Empress Dowager Yang, was a little dissatisfied. Her desire for power was already great. In the Zhao Kuo era, she could still influence part of the court situation, but now, she has been completely reduced to a marginalized person. She can only hide in the harem every day, and she cannot even leave her palace due to government orders. . And Empress Dowager Yang knew that although Shi Miyuan had spread his tentacles throughout the court, just as the powerful emperor could not completely control everyone, there were still people who opposed Shi Miyuan in Jiangnan District. Because Shi Miyuan manipulated the abolition of Li, Neo-Confucianism, which has now risen and become an official school, is very dissatisfied with him. People like Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others are all master-level figures who truly believe in Neo-Confucianism. Zhen Dexiu once submitted his resignation report four times within a month, and later asked for demotion three times. However, Shi Miyuan also knew that some people were Can't be offended. Shi Miyuan appointed him just to please the Neo-Confucian people. Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being slandered by the Neo-Confucian people, he resolutely rejected Zhen Dexiu's request. Zhen Dexiu even went to the palace several times to propose to Empress Dowager Yang that Zhao Hong should be brought back to replace Zhao Yun. This Zhao Yun was just a commoner. Although he received a very strict education, a short period of education could not change his ideas. Although Zhao Hong was young and vigorous, what he said and thought played into the hands of Zhen Dexiu and Queen Mother Yang. If Shi Miyuan could be exiled to another place, the government would be back in his own hands, or at least in the hands of the officials. Although their idea is good, it is very difficult to put it into practice. First of all, Zhao Hong has been driven to Huzhou, where he is basically no different from being under house arrest. Secondly, even if you can help Zhao Hong escape, it is not easy to help him rise to power. At least there must be a way to deal with Shi Miyuan. Otherwise, if Zhao Hong fails to rise to power, he and others will end up in trouble.Going down. "There is only one way to do this." Queen Mother Yang gritted her teeth and said slowly. "What can I do?" Zhen Dexiu knew that all he had was a false reputation. If he wanted to fight Shi Miyuan, he would be inferior to a woman like Queen Mother Yang. "Please bring justice to Han Zhongwei," said Empress Dowager Yang. "This is the internal affairs of Jiangnan District. Will Han Zhongwei interfere?" Zhen Dexiu thought. Even if Shi Miyuan dominates the world in Jiangnan District, compared with Han Zhongwei, he is like the difference between an ant and an elephant. Han Zhongwei has to deal with it. He didn't even need to send troops, as long as he showed support for Zhao Hong, he could scare the shit out of Shi Miyuan. "As long as Zhao Hong asks him for help, this will become a problem. This is an official family matter. Zhao Hong can completely ask Han Zhongwei to uphold justice for him and oust Zhao Yun, the son of a county captain." Empress Dowager Yang said firmly. With the renewed support of Empress Dowager Yang, Zhao Hong did not even have to leave Huzhou, and his chances immediately became very great. Zhao Hong, who arrived in Huzhou, actually knew that if he wanted to sit in Zhao Yun's position again in this life, there was only one way, and that was to get closer to Han Zhongwei. As long as he puts it forward and asks China to intervene in Jiangnan District, Han Zhongwei will definitely agree. Now, Zhao Hong has reached the end of his rope. If there is no miracle, he will end up in Huzhou in this life. But Zhao Hong was only twenty this year, and he still had decades to live until he died. Not to mention that Zhao Hong was impulsive. As soon as Empress Dowager Yang sent someone to contact him, he immediately wanted to see Han Zhongwei immediately, completely forgetting that of course he still He boldly said that he would kill Han Zhongwei. Han Zhongwei's reply was quick. It was no problem for Zhao Hong to replace Zhao Yun. After all, now that Zhao Hong had the support of Empress Dowager Yang, it could be proved that Shi Miyuan was the one who did it in the first place. Moreover, the entire Jiangnan District knew about Zhao Yun's position. what is going on. Without Han Zhongwei and the China he founded, perhaps Zhao Yun would have continued on his throne, but it is different now. Han Zhongwei could even dispatch the emperors of Jin and Xixia at will, let alone those who were not as powerful as them. Song Dynasty? And now Song State has become his Jiangnan District. "Your Highness, do you really want to agree to Han Zhongwei's conditions?" Zhen Dexiu went to Huzhou in person to conspire with Zhao Hong. In fact, conspiracy can't be counted. Zhen Dexiu's words and deeds have already been monitored by Shi Miyuan, but Shi Miyuan Unexpectedly, Zhen Dexiu would discuss the reset with Zhao Hong. "The official family has long ceased to be a real official family. What's the harm in becoming the head of Jiangnan District." Zhao Hong smiled bitterly. This is Han Zhongwei's condition. If Zhao Hong takes the position, he can only use the district chief of Jiangnan District. With the name, not the title of emperor, even Han Zhongwei did not become emperor, how can there be an emperor in Jiangnan District? This condition seems very harsh, but in fact it is dispensable for Zhao Hong. Anyway, he can no longer be the emperor in this life. He has only one wish, to regain power from Shi Miyuan. As for distribution or exile, it doesn't matter. It's up to you to decide. But now, as long as he gives up not taking the throne and changes Lin'an to the capital of Jiangnan District, Jiangnan District will have the final say in the future. "Besides this, Han Zhongwei will really not interfere in the internal affairs of Jiangnan District again?" Zhen Dexiu felt that instead of letting Shi Miyuan make Jiangnan District full of holes, it would be better to hand over Jiangnan District to Zhao Hong, at least he would have his own With the help of these people, the future of Jiangnan District will definitely be much better than it is now. Shi Miyuan was a truly powerful minister. Apart from exercising power, he could be said to be useless in other aspects. He had no authority in military and national defense, economic construction, official administration, water conservancy, etc. He continued to give emperors Zhao Kuo and Zhao Yun scriptures and conferences. That's all his political achievements. It was not easy to comment on Shi Miyuan at the time, but in modern times there is a noun that best describes him: "inaction." Shi Miyuan can be said to be a typical example of inaction. "Of course, although Han Zhongwei is treacherous, as long as it is something he has promised, it seems that he has never failed to do it." Zhao Hong has become a lot more mature after deposing Li, and at least he has a relatively objective attitude toward Han Zhongwei. Unlike in the past, he always wanted to kill Han Zhongwei, as if Han Zhongwei owed him hundreds of dollars and hadn't paid him back. "How will the Queen Mother arrange it?" Zhen Dexiu asked again. If this matter could not bring substantial benefits to the Queen Mother, she would not stand on Zhao Hong's side. What did the Queen Mother like most? Not gold and silver, but power. "Let her be the deputy district chief, and the power will be under me." Zhao Hong said. If Jiangnan District abandons the imperial system, it will truly implement the various systems formulated by Han Zhongwei. Jiangnan District has a district chief and three deputy chiefs, who are responsible for urban construction, public security, internal affairs, etc. Below the district chief are the governors of each province. Jiangnan District will be divided into five provinces, each of which is composed of cities and counties. The current imperial court will be dissolved and become various district agencies or lower county agencies. In Jiangnan District, the district level is the largest industry?Institution. Queen Mother Yang exchanged the name of the Queen Mother for an actual deputy district chief, and the deputy district chief could be passed on to future generations, which made her very happy to accept the conditions of Han Zhongwei and Zhao Hong. In order to turn the imperial court into a real Jiangnan District, Han Zhongwei allowed the positions of one chief, three deputy and four district heads of Jiangnan District to be designated by themselves as successors. Of course, the successor must first pass the assessment of Zhongdu, as long as the results are good , can definitely be passed down from generation to generation. In 1208 AD, Han Zhongwei's escort suddenly entered Lin'an and captured Shi Miyuan's family and all his cronies, including Zhao Yun. Zhao Hong, who was driven to Huzhou, was welcomed back and became the head of Jiangnan District officially appointed by Zhongdu. Empress Dowager Yang was appointed as the deputy district head. At the same time, Zhen Dexiu, who had played a great role in the process, was also appointed as the deputy district head. . The remaining deputy district chief was appointed by the original left prime minister Liu Zheng. Zhao Hong, Empress Dowager Yang, and Zhen Dexiu all had no objections to Liu Zheng's appointment. The monarchy in Jiangnan District was abolished. This was a major progress made by Han Zhongwei in Jiangnan. Now Jiangnan District will be governed according to his will. Although there are no close associates among them, Han Zhongwei believes that the date when Jiangnan District will truly return to the embrace of the motherland is uncertain. Far. Collect()
