Sima Guang completely suppressed Lao Wen. Zhao Shu was very satisfied and personally led the army through the arch. This arch was poured in advance using cement, decorated with colorful silk, decorated with flowers and herbs, facing the outside, writing the word "Sheng" and facing the inside, writing the word "Still".

Go out to win, return to the country and remain stable!

It was indeed interesting. Zhao Shu issued an edict that whenever he went to war in the future, he would have to go through this gate.

"Your Majesty, all the wars have been exchanged for their lives. To commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their country, they engrave their names on this door and keep them in the world for the military, civilians and the people to pay homage to them!" Wang Ning'an suggested.

"This method is good!" Zhao Shu agreed immediately, and the people cheered again.

Wen Yanbo's face looked very ugly... He worked so hard that the limelight was snatched away, and his preparations became a foil. The background was so annoying!

Grandma, it would be fine if she lost to Wang Ning'an. Anyway, she has never won even if she fought so many times... But if she lost to Sima Guang, she is intolerable!

Is I really that weak?

Can't even fight a junior?

If not, absolutely not!

Wen Yanbo is Jiang Gui's nature. He is so old that he becomes more and more stingy. He will never speak of failure easily.

It is just an urgent task. We must figure out the situation in front of us and we cannot fail again, otherwise there will be no hope.

This time, Zhao Shu returned victoriously, and the praise and support he received was beyond words... From top to bottom, no one dared to underestimate the emperor.

Thirty thousand soldiers destroyed the Liao Kingdom, captured the Liao Lord, and expanded the land thousands of miles... Such a brilliant record, even if the Qin Emperor and Han Wu were worse than that!

Zhao Shu is no longer the little emperor who relies on his master's protection. He has become truly mature and can shoulder the burden of the country. People are worried about the suspicion of the country, and the powerful ministers in the court have also resolved a lot.

If before this battle, many people were unwilling to retreat, worried that the turmoil in the court would be wasted, but at this moment, the worries were a little unnecessary.

If the emperor is strong, officials don’t have that much thought.

Lao Wen showed a contemplative look... This time the war started by increasing the issuance of currency, followed by the increase in grain prices, and the Liao Kingdom was in chaos. Only then did the Song Dynasty have the opportunity to quickly destroy Liao!

You should know that Taizong brought 200,000 people in two northern expeditions, but he returned in a defeat. To the general public, it was impossible to destroy a giant like the Liao Kingdom without millions of soldiers.

But it sounds nice, how much national and civilian money will be consumed if one million troops are sent?

It's not easy!

How can you succeed without several years of preparation?

But this time, the investment was so small and the reward was so great. When I think about it, it was just like a dream... Oh! Wen Kuanfu's face finally changed. Perhaps it was all set by Wang Ning'an from beginning to end!

He deliberately messed with the Khitan, and made it easy to get it. Zhao Shu was naturally very happy with merits and commanded the emperor in person, and then gave Zhao Shu an unprecedented victory, so he allowed the emperor to accumulate enough prestige to rule the world and achieve a peaceful transition of power...

The military and civilians were still cheering, and the sound of drums and music was shocking the world. There were flowers everywhere, and long live the whole life... Everyone was infatuated and proud of their emperor.

But even Mr. Wen couldn't listen to these things, and only one thought was left in his mind... It was all set by Wang Ning'an, and it was all arranged by him, grandma! He is too awesome!

I am afraid of thinking about everything. The more Wen Kuanfu examined it, the more he felt a little nervous. He looked at Wang Ning'an and saw this person with a faint smile on his face, looking excited and restrained... You are definitely not for this victory, you are proud, everyone in the world has been plotted against by you!

The strategy must be reviewed. In the past, he thought about trying to please the emperor, accumulate enough capital, and return to the political affairs hall... But now it seems that Wang Ning'an's calculation methods are unfathomable.

Even if he doesn't become the prime minister, his authority will not be much weaker!

"well!"

Wen Yanbo shook his head and sighed in anger, Grandma, can't he beat Wang Ning'an?

I'm not willing to give up!

...

After welcoming the triumph, Yelu Hongji officially paid the letter of state outside Xuande Gate and asked for surrender to the Song Dynasty. He led the civil and military officials of the Khitan and crawled on the ground, as humble as an ant... Countless people of the Song Dynasty were in tears.

Ouyang Xiu, Jia Changchao, and the remaining old ministers all burst into tears and were excited and trembling.

Think about it, when they were young, they also dreamed of this day, but the officialdom has been ups and downs for decades, and seeing the Song Dynasty full of diseases and it is difficult to save it, who would not feel sad!

Just when the Western Xia rebelled, the Qingli New Deal failed, and the national fortune fell to the bottom, some people began to work hard. After twenty years of hard work, the Song Dynasty was completely renewed, destroying the Western Xia, destroying the Great Liao, and conquering the Western Regions... Even though the Han and the Tang dynasties were strong, they were just like this!

Worth a happy event!

No regrets in this life!

Several old ministers were very satisfied, but they still felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

It has always been prosperous and declining. No one can say whether the Song Dynasty can jump out... Especially the promoter of all this, Wang Ning'an wants to get off the position of prime minister. Does the successor have the ability to make the Song Dynasty better?

There are too many variables in the future, which is really worrying and uneasy!

"Drunk, why don't you go and persuade Erlang?" Jia Changchao tried.

Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Ziming, it's more appropriate for you to go than me!"

"Me? Forget it!" Jia Changchao said helplessly: "I have no intention. I am just a decayed person. I just don't know what to do next!"

Even the two old ministers could not guess the future court, and the others were even more confused.

However, Wang Ning'an did not ask everyone to wait too long. On the third day after returning to Beijing, he presided over the Political Affairs Hall meeting, and at the beginning of the matter, he made it clear.

"Since I was ordered to take over the political affairs hall, I was so nervous that I was awake and sleeping all night, for fear that I would hurt the saints and hope that I would let down the people... I have been trembling with fear, and I have been 5 years old, and now I have been successful and retired, so it is natural!"

This is not something that can be said for a day or two, but it is still very difficult to reach this moment. Not to mention his students, including Han Wei, Chen Shengzhi, and even Feng Jing, Lu Hui, many people are unwilling to Wang Ning'an delegate power so quickly, but Wang Ning'an's attitude is firm and cannot be negotiated at all.

"The alternation of old and new is a natural principle, and there is no need to hesitate... However, the government cannot be abolished, and the front and back must be connected... Several important government affairs at present must be implemented... The first thing to bear is the candidate for the next term of the prime minister. I have submitted a report to Your Majesty that the new prime minister is recommended by the Ministry of Personnel, and the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing will be recommended and announced to the world. After your Majesty, you can finally become the prime minister of the current dynasty, assist the saints, and revitalize the Song Dynasty."

After Wang Ning'an finished speaking, he looked around and said slowly: "The prime minister, especially the prime minister, must have both moral integrity and ability, outstanding abilities, recognized by saints, accepted by officials, and able to stand the test of all people in the world... After the meeting, the candidates can be elected, and after the discussion, they will be handed over to the votes of all officials."

After Wang Ning'an finished talking about this, he continued to mention the finances. He fought the Khitan and spent a lot of money. How to clear the remnants of the Khitan forces and fill the financial deficits? How to strengthen control over the Khitan area? Is it necessary to build roads? How to solve the cost of building roads? Immigration will implement borders, adjust the administration of officials, and military system... "

These things are also very important, but everyone has no time to listen to them, and all their attention is focused on the prime minister. In the past, the real power of the selection of prime ministers in the Song Dynasty was in the hands of the emperor.

Of course, all officials and the prime minister have the power to recommend, but whoever uses it must listen to the emperor. Similarly, the removal of the prime minister is also a sentence from the emperor.

But this time the situation was different. Wang Ning'an said clearly that the prime minister needs to be recognized by all officials and can only be given to the emperor for final approval after voting by all officials.

In other words, the Prime Minister can be changed to justice and command all officials, and the power of the minister is countless times heavier than before!

Similarly, the throne of the prime minister is even more coveted.

Who can sit on it? It’s so much of an idea... After Wang Ning'an finished speaking, he looked at the people who were in deep thought and said nothing. He just asked everyone to go back, think carefully, and recommend the right candidates to take on the heavy responsibility in the spirit of promoting the country.

"I can't figure it out!"

Wen Yanbo finally had a time to be confused. If his guess was good and Wang Ning'an had already set up the game, then the candidate for the prime minister should be about to come out. At least Wang Ning'an had to show his tendency, or simply specify it directly. He didn't say anything now. Should he really ask everyone to recommend it or have other plans?

There are also several people who are also in the process of thinking, and they are still unable to hold on.

"Brother Jifu, don't hesitate anymore."

Zhang Dun said: "Since the master said he wanted to recommend it publicly, you are our leader, everyone supports you, I have contacted Zeng Bu and Su Che."

Lu Huiqing shook his head repeatedly, "Zihou, don't give me a ecstasy soup. When it comes to credit, you are not inferior to me at all. What if I support you?"

"Don't harm me!"

Zhang Dun kept wavering. He knew that he was doing something positive and had a bad reputation. Now he was still far from attacking the Prime Minister.

"Brother Jifu, I don't hide it from you. Even Su Che didn't hear any slightest voice. Master is going to be a Bodhisattva this time."

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said slowly: "Zihou, do you think Master will let go on purpose and let everyone rely on their abilities to win a position. After all, the Prime Minister is not easy to do and does not have enough ability, so he cannot sit firmly."

Zhang Dun nodded, "That's the case... Ji Fu, since that's the case, we are not bad in terms of number of people. Why not just fight for it and let the master see our abilities!"

"Yeah, that's fine!"

Lu Huiqing finally made up his mind, and Zhang Dun was overjoyed, "Brother Ji Fu, leave this matter to me, I'll go find Fan Chunren."

Zhang Dun arrived at the Ministry of Personnel happily, but who knew that it had been extremely lively here. Feng Jing, Cai Que, and several officials were waiting here, and they each had people to recommend.

Zhang Dun was about to say hello to everyone, but suddenly someone came again, which stunned everyone.

Deputy Prime Minister Han Wei!

He came to the Ministry of Personnel with his status, wasn’t he going to recommend himself?
Chapter completed!
