Whenever and wherever there are people, there will be strife. (nen` In the palace, it is a struggle for imperial power; in the court, it is a struggle between parties; in the army, it is a battle of killing and killing; in the countryside, it is a struggle between rivers and lakes; it is nothing more than what Mr. Jin Yong often said in his martial arts novels, where there are people There are rivers and lakes, and no one can stay out of the world. At the same time as the Song Dynasty's army expanded, the undercurrents in Bianjing were already tense. Since the appointment of King Zhao Bin of Chu as the prince, the weather vane in the court has slowly begun to shift. Originally, Jin Wang Chai Shuxia had the slight upper hand, but due to the appointment of the crown prince, it was gradually suppressed by Jiang Fu, Yue Lin and others. But as one of the ministers who also oversees the country, Chai Shuxia naturally will not sit still and wait for death. He has always been with him. Jiang Fu fought openly and secretly in the court to suppress each other. Chai Shuxia, who lost the battle for the throne, later fought back. After the crown prince was appointed, Chai Shuxia took the initiative to remonstrate with Ye Yu, who was seriously ill, claiming that the crown prince was young and ignorant of government affairs. , and if he and Jiang Fu were in trouble to decide on a major military matter, someone would have to step in to decide the overall situation. This proposal was reasonable and reasonable. After several discussions, it was agreed that in the current harem, someone with the weight to preside over the overall situation would be needed. Only the Empress Dowager Chai Wanyue is not allowed to interfere in politics. This has been a royal taboo since ancient times. Therefore, even though the current Queen Su Yueyun is the master of the Sixth Palace, she only rules the harem. As Ye Yu's mother, she is also in the court. People outside the harem are also the most qualified and important candidates at present. (In fact, apart from the Empress Dowager Chai Wanyue, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Hao should have been the most suitable. Unfortunately, since the capital was moved to Bianjing, Zhao Hao was absent. He wore a Taoist robe and became a monk, and decided to guard the imperial mausoleum of Gong County for the rest of his life and never interfere with the affairs of the court. Even when Ye Yu was seriously ill, Zhao Hao only sent his attendants to the palace to visit him once, but he did not. The reason for not stepping out of the imperial mausoleum seemed unusual, but it was actually reasonable. A father watched his children die one by one, but as an emperor, he could only let it go. A man with white hair gives a man with black hair. This is nothing for young people. Abandoning and killing children has not been uncommon since ancient times, but the most unsightly thing for people in old age is to lose their children in just a few years. During the period, the Prince, Prince Qing and Prince Gong were successively killed in the conspiracy. Although Ye Yu, the youngest son, finally succeeded in ascending the throne, the old Zhao family finally had no descendants, and showed courage that the descendants of the Zhao family had not had in the past, but indirect killings. The scenes of brother's intrigues had already chilled his heart as a father, and made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. Besides, with an outstanding child like Ye Yu, he believed in the power of the Song Dynasty. There is no need for him to look after her. However, the main reason why Zhao Min chose to become a monk and stay in the imperial mausoleum was actually the fact that the current empress dowager Chai Wanyue's years of grievances had not gone away. Zhao Min had tried to resolve the grievances between the two for many years, but in the end. Unable to gain forgiveness from the other party, although the two were in the same palace, they were like enemies. He knew very well that his life's guilt could not be compensated for, and he was tired of the power tactics, so he finally chose to be permanently imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum. ??And from the time Chai Shuxia suggested that someone should sit in charge of the court, to the fact that the Empress Dowager successfully took over, this was actually a trick that Chai Shuxia used invisibly. Jiang Fu has the crown prince as his flag, and the empress dowager Chai Wanyue is in charge, which undoubtedly increases the bargaining chip for his Jin Dynasty party. Even in a sense, the regency of the Empress Dowager Chai Wanyue has slightly tilted the balance. Because the prince can be deposed and established, why have I ever heard that the queen mother can be deposed easily? Therefore, the importance of Chai Wanyue is not unimportant, and Chai Wanyue and Chai Shuxia are biological siblings. Behind closed doors, it is a family matter, which invisibly adds pressure to Jiang Fei and others who are surrounding the prince. With the balance of power, there will be endless disputes. You and I will compete for power in the court. In the end, after the fight became red and thick, the matter was handed over to the Empress Dowager Chai Wanyue. Nowadays, Chai Wanyue lives in Wanyue Palace. Due to her change of status, she cannot show herself as the leader of the Fire Lotus Sect in the past. Therefore, she takes off the dark mask of the past and uses a veil to cover her face and a bead curtain as a screen to receive the ministers. Because the Queen Mother Chai Wanyue was concerned about the illness of the emperor Ye Yu, she naturally dealt with the disputes and impeachments between the two parties in the court absentmindedly. So Chai Shuxia took the opportunity to show his strength and claimed that all matters could be handled by his brother.?, the queen mother can just take care of the emperor's nephew's dragon body with peace of mind. After all, we are a family. The elder brother had already spoken like this, and Chai Wanyue was indeed concerned about the emperor's condition, so she took advantage of the situation and simply became a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all matters to her elder brother for easy handling. This way, it gave Chai Shuxia room to play. The black materials collected over a long period of time, whether they were real black materials or fake black materials, were able to defeat several civil servants around Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu personally asked to see the Queen Mother for this matter, but received no response. In this way, Chai Shuxia's black courage was further strengthened. In just one month, Chai Shuxia, Kong Defang and others in the court prepared endless black materials, and they all pointed the finger at Jiang Fu, a civil servant in the court. group. Chai Shuxia's behavior has a vague tendency to cover up the sky with one hand. However, in this court dispute, in addition to the two parties competing, some courtiers naturally chose a neutral attitude. They are neither willing to rely on the party led by Jiang Fei, and jointly resist Chai Shuxia's overwhelming power. Nor was he willing to stand on Chai Shuxia's side and compete with the prince's civil servants. Among them are Wu Qingzhong, Meng Tong, Pan Zhisuo and others. These people form a small group and are unwilling to help anyone. And the two parties are not willing to forcefully force these people. After all, these are His Majesty's close ministers. If His Majesty cannot leave the Hexian for a day, then these people are their taboos in the court. Faced with the crazy suppression by Chai Shuxia, Kong Defang and others, Jiang Fei, Yue Lin and others will naturally not sit still and wait for death. Since the current Queen Mother is partial to her brother, King Jin, then they will go to Funing Palace collectively to ask His Majesty to deliver justice. . Outside Funing Palace, Jiang Fu and a group of ministers were waiting outside, waiting for Ye Yu, who was terminally ill, to be summoned. But after waiting for a long time and not seeing Ye Yu's verbal summons, Jiang Fu felt a little uneasy, so after giving a few instructions to the ministers behind him, he climbed up the steps and prepared to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. "His Majesty's palace is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter without being summoned!" Jiang Fu was just about to enter Funing Palace when he was blocked by a guard outside the palace. "I am the chief assistant of the current dynasty, and there was a special order from His Majesty" "You are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. Sir Jiang, please come back!" Jiang Fu was about to explain that he had the permission from His Majesty to enter without being summoned. It is the privilege of the Palace Face Saint. He never thought that as soon as he spoke his words, he would be blocked by the guards guarding the palace gate.
