Comprehensive martial arts: starting from the leader of the clan

This is a very ordinary day. The morning light is slightly cold, and the air is filled with the coolness of early spring!

The imperial guards are standing on the walls of the Song Dynasty palace, standing straight like javelins, looking straight ahead!

The commander of the imperial guards is bored patrolling the city. As an imperial guard, it is the most stable job unless it is a special period. No one is stupid enough to risk losing their heads and break into the city gate.

Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared from a distance, and they came to the imperial city gate as if no one was around! .

"Who is coming?"

The commander of the imperial guards asked as usual!

Jiang Ziyan took Jiang Feng's hand, blinked her black eyes, and said, "Dad, are we going to break in directly?"

"If we don't break in, are we going to wait for the emperor to pick us up?"

Jiang Feng brought his daughter here specifically to let her vent.

As they talked, the two arrived at the city gate.

"Stop!"

The commander of the imperial guards shouted, and looked at the two people with good temperament in front of him in confusion!

Jiang Feng's mind covered the entire palace, and finally landed in a direction, saying: "Let's go, enter the palace!"

The two figures soared into the air, ignored this person, and went straight over the high wall.

The commander of the imperial guards finally realized that something was wrong, his face was horrified, and he shouted in a sad voice: "Enemy attack!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The gongs and drums on the city wall were loud, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded. A large group of soldiers came down from the city wall and chased after the two people!

Chuigong Hall!

The place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty handled government affairs and summoned ministers.

It was the morning court, and Zhao Ji sat on the throne, full of vigor and vigor!

Yang Li was in the first place on the left, with an old face and a lifeless look!

Thinking of the situation in the court, he could not help but sigh. The imperial power of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong. The position of the Prime Minister existed in name only, and the cabinet became a mouthpiece for the 290th emperor.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think about the Fengshan matter that Mr. Luo just mentioned?"

When Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he personally supported Luo Rong to serve as the Second Assistant, replacing Shen Tian.

Luo Rong's ability was mediocre, but his flattery skills were at the peak, and he was deeply favored by Zhao Ji!

"Your Majesty's achievements surpassed those of the Three Emperors, and you should announce it to the world. What do you think, Lord Yang?"

A calculating light flashed in the depths of Luo Rong's eyes.

Yang Li was extremely power-hungry, but he had a lot of literary character, so he would not easily agree.

If he opposed it openly, maybe His Majesty would be angry and the position of the Prime Minister would fall to someone else.

Sure enough, Yang Li frowned slightly.

The history of Fengshan is extremely long!

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, only emperors who have made great achievements dared to perform Fengshan.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, only three emperors performed Fengshan.

The first was Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who conquered the Xiongnu, attacked Nanyue, expanded the southwest, opened the canal, and made a name for himself in history. No one questioned the Fengshan ceremony!

The second was Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu. When the Han Dynasty was about to fall, Liu Xiu suddenly appeared and supported the collapsing building.Turn the tide. Let the decadent Han Dynasty regain vitality, sweep away the decline, and present the situation of Guangwu's revival. With this achievement, everyone in the world agrees.

The most recent Fengshan was Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, who unified the six kingdoms, unified the writing system, and the military was ranked first among the seven kingdoms. Fengshan was also undisputed!

Li Shimin had talents comparable to Ying Zheng. When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin was the undisputed first meritorious official. However, the Tang Dynasty was full of talents, and there were too many people who had the merit of founding the country, which made his achievements less legendary.

In the end, Li Shimin took the initiative to give up Fengshan. A respected martial arts giant once said: The achievements of the emperor were no more than Li Shimin, and he was not qualified to hold the Fengshan ceremony.

Li Shimin became the standard line for Fengshan, making the threshold of Fengshan higher and more authoritative.

What does Zhao Ji have?

If he held the Fengshan ceremony, he would become a laughing stock, and the Song Dynasty would be drowned in spit!

When it comes to matters of right and wrong, Yang Li would never give in. He held a tablet in his hand and said, "I oppose it. Even Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to hold the Fengshan ceremony. Your Majesty must not do that!"

The court was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. All the ministers were worried for Yang Li!

"Does Lord Yang mean that your Majesty's achievements are not as good as Li Shimin's?"

Luo Rong immediately started to attack, with a hidden smile in his eyes!

With his example, the lackeys behind him began to denounce him!

Yang Li's face was sad. There was no longer the character of the previous emperor in the court. Everyone had become a flatterer.

What the superior likes, the subordinates will be even more like it!

Zhao Ji was ambitious and arrogant!

The only thing worth praising was the art of power and strategy.

An emperor cannot be without political schemes, but if there is only political schemes left, the country will almost be finished!

Zhao Ji's face turned liver-colored: I have restored the imperial power, and the power is concentrated in one person. Is it possible that I am still not as good as Li Shimin?

As a veteran of three dynasties, Yang Li did not do anything treasonous, Zhao Ji really couldn't do anything to him, otherwise he couldn't stop the world from talking nonsense!

Immediately, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up and fell on Shen Tian, ​​who had been silent all the time!

Shen Tian served as the Grand Master, with a high position but little power. He always showed no desires and no demands, which gave Zhao Ji the impression that he was easy to control.

He turned his head and looked at Shen Tian and said, "What do you think, Shen Qing?"

Shen Tian has a special status and his influence is no less than Luo Rong.

With his support, even if Yang Li disagrees, Zhao Ji can stop the world from talking nonsense.

Shen Tian lowered his head and cursed Zhao Ji in his heart!

Do you have any idea whether you are qualified or not?

Shen Tian would definitely disagree.

When the time comes for Fengshan, what happened in the court today will definitely be spread.

By then, he will become a sycophantic and fawning villain!

It is normal to have ups and downs in the officialdom, but one must not have a bad reputation.

If one has a bad reputation, it is equivalent to cutting off one's own retreat!

Luo Rong relied on currying favor with Zhao Ji to get to the top. Once he loses power, he will be liquidated immediately.

He is where he is today because of his achievements and his ability to refute ZhaoJi, at most he would be demoted, but he would have a good reputation and a chance to make a comeback.

After a short period of consideration, Shen Tian stepped out and said, "You can't be enthroned without the approval of the people of the world!"

He didn't say no directly, but the implication was: little brother, you're still a little short!

Zhao Ji's face darkened and his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that Shen Tian, ​​who had never had any desires in the past, would also speak out in opposition.

The court was not completely controlled as he expected!

These old ministers were self-respecting and experienced, so they had to make room for newcomers.

Yang Li showed a look of relief on his face: the court was not full of yes-men at last.

Thinking back then, how harmonious the two of them were when they worked together.

There was competition, compromise, and tacit control within a certain range, and there was a sense of propriety!

The affairs of the Song Dynasty were well organized. It was not like now, where the court was full of people who were busy scheming and no one was doing practical things. The country was gradually showing signs of decline.

"Your Majesty, Yang Li and Shen Tian relied on their deep experience to control the government and repeatedly sang against the court's major policies. I request to dismiss them and select other capable people!"

Luo Rong jumped out with great righteousness.

The court officials were silent, some frowned, and finally shook their heads helplessly, unable to help!

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Ji did not comment, did not agree but did not refuse.

"I think what Lord Luo said makes sense. Lord Yang is old and can't keep up with the development of the times. Lord Shen is young and in a high position. He climbed too fast and lacked some experience after all!"

Some people say that being too old or too young is a sin!

Yang Li smiled bitterly, took off his official hat, and staggered: "I am old and have planned to return to my hometown to retire. Please grant me your approval, Your Majesty!"

The situation is gone and he has become an empty shell.

If he doesn't take the initiative to abdicate, I'm afraid it will be a luxury to leave peacefully in the future!

Zhao Ji did not try to keep him, and sighed: "Yang Qing's contribution to the Song Dynasty cannot be erased. Well, since you are determined to leave, I won't force you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Li's momentum collapsed and he aged a few years in an instant.

Luo Rong was ecstatic. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of Prime Minister would be his.

He took advantage of the situation to drag Shen Tian into the water, and also to ensure that the position of Prime Minister would be foolproof.

Shen Tian's qualifications and abilities were there. If Yang Li vacated the position of Prime Minister, he would be the biggest threat.

Luo Rong did not expect that Shen Tian would ruin his chance himself.

He knew Zhao Ji very well. If he disobeyed him, he would forget about the position of Prime Minister, and it was hard to say whether he could keep the position of Grand Master.

After a short pause, Shen Tian wanted to retreat and resigned!

The Prime Minister just resigned. If the Grand Master resigned, it would surely cause speculation from the outside world and shake the court and the public.

With Zhao Ji's political tactics, he would not fail to see this!

Just as he was about to step out, the rapid sound of gongs and drums on the city wall reached the Chuigong Hall!

"What's going on?"

Luo Rong looked out the door.

The gongs and drums on the palace cannot be beaten randomly, they will only sound when the enemy attacks.

Who is so bold as to attack the palace?

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the general guarding the Chuigong Palace vomited blood and flew backwards into the palace.

"Enemy attack!"

Blood flowed out of his mouth, his head tilted, and he fainted!

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

Zhao Ji panicked, and two unfathomable figures appeared behind the bead curtain, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding him in the middle.

Everyone was shocked. These two were the personal guards arranged by the royal family for the emperor, both of them were at the peak of the Grand Master level!

With the protection of these two people, it would be difficult to assassinate the emperor!

The personal guard appeared, and Zhao Ji was relieved.

"Da Da Da!"

Footsteps sounded from outside the palace.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two figures in white, a man and a woman, walking into the Chuigong Palace slowly.

The man was elegant and the woman was beautiful!

Seeing the woman's lively eyes, she looked around the palace curiously, as if she was traveling around, and didn't take the palace, which was like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, seriously at all!

"Feng'er!"

Shen Tian was stunned and stood there!
