Seven hundred and eighteenth, burying his head for ten years, and meeting the Ming Kingdom

Zhao Xing understood what Shi Hao meant.

While Zhao Gou is away, he can do things around, build the court, and build the army, but he must have a certain degree and keep the most basic safety bottom line for Zhao Gou.

This bottom line is Yang Cunzhong.

As Zhao Gou's absolute confidant, Yang Cunzhong continued to exist in the Three Imperial Army system and mastered an army, which was of great significance to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou abdicated the throne of Zhao Gou. If he took advantage of Zhao Gou's absence and left all power without leaving it to Zhao Gou, although Zhao Gou would not say anything, it may affect Zhao Gou's reputation and give him an evaluation of "unfilial piety".

That would have been a bit too big for Zhao Xing.

Even Zhao Gou may use not to return to Lin'an as a bargaining chip to threaten Zhao Sheng to do something that he is unwilling to do. At that time, Zhao Sheng will lose the initiative and it will be difficult to accomplish things.

This is what is called "eating people with short mouths and short hands" and "being a superficial relative who has no direct and indirect blood relationship with Zhao Gou many times, Zhao Xing still has congenital deficiencies.

Therefore, the army of the Palace Front Office must be handed over to Commander Yang Cunzhong as the source of Zhao Gou's sense of security.

The other two troops, the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Department, can be recruited again by Zhao Xing and reorganized and trained. What they trained in this way is of course his own soldiers, so listen to his words.

With Yang Cunzhong and the army of the Palace Front Office as the bottom line of security, Zhao Gou is likely to not interfere with Zhao Xing's direct control of the Guards' Horse Army and the Guards' Infantry Army, and will allow him to develop his own strength.

With such a set of procedures, within two or three years, Zhao Xing will be able to have the dignity of a real emperor and have a basic military and political foundation to avenge his previous shame.

The three troops of the Chief Command and two armed troops of the imperial guards directly obeyed his command. At that time, even if Zhao Gouxiang wanted to do something, some villains would not be able to stop Zhao Sheng.

He has his own basic plan.

After listening to Shi Hao's overall plan, Zhao Xing was overjoyed and thanked Shi Hao for his plan.

Shi Hao finally set a goal for Zhao Xing to avenge his shame, hoping that Zhao Xing could [bury his head for ten years and meet Ming Dynasty] and [bearing humiliation for ten years and exalting one day].

Although Zhao Xing felt that ten years had been a bit long, it was not the time to argue about this. He was eager to find a feasible plan to avenge his shame, so he expressed his willingness to accept this plan.

Even in order to express his determination, he hung a bitter gall on the head of his bed to imitate Goujian.

Of course, it is a bit difficult to sleep on firewood.

Zhao Xing likes soft beds very much, but not hard beds.

In the first few days, he forced himself to sleep on the wooden bed to sharpen his mind, but after sleeping for a few days, he couldn't sleep well. Not only did he feel sore back pain, but he also made dark circles of eyes. He felt that this would even affect the handling of state affairs, which was too delayed, so he changed the hard bed back to the soft bed.

The bitter gallbladder has been hanging on his bed. He wakes up early every day and licks it to taste the extremely bitter taste to remind himself not to forget the shame Ming Guo forced him.

In the first few days, he really did this, reflecting on himself with bitterness, and making plans with Shi Hao, imagining how to implement plans in the future and how to solve the problems that are in front of him.

But after tasting bitter gallbladder several times, he felt that the bitter gallbladder was really bitter and really uncomfortable, so Zhao Xing felt that it would be enough to taste the bitter taste. The bitterness at that time could also remind him that there was no need to continue to suffer.

Thinking of this, he quickly convinced himself, and then asked the eunuchs around him to prepare malt sugar. After tasting the bitter gallbladder, he quickly rinsed his mouth, then put a piece of malt sugar in his mouth, making him feel happy and happy.

This is what is called bitter first and sweet later.

After the plan to avenge the shame was concluded, Zhao Xing had another goal and hope. He rose up again, not as depressed as some court officials thought.

He was very brave enough to start governing again after seven days, start his own rule again, and fulfill his responsibilities as an emperor.

Zhao Xing is still determined.

He not only recalled Zhang Jun, but also recalled the coefficient of the war-fixing ministers who had been rejected by Zhao Gou, Tang Situi and others.

He recalled the war-fixing ministers of Zhang Jun's faction, including Wang Dabao, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Wang Yingchen, Chen Lianghan, and other officials of Zhang Jun's faction, and vigorously demoted the lords and even the surrendered officials of the lords in the dynasty.

In the previous storm, a group of people who were strongly surrendered and had a huge voice were retaliated by Zhao Xing.

The ministers who conspired to contact Zhao Tie and Zhao Wanen were also transferred from his post, transferred from Lin'an and even left the land of Lingnan.

He also changed his residence to Zhao Tiecheng and Zhao Wancheng, and since then he lived under Zhao Xing's close surveillance.

A political storm that is not a political storm began in Zhao Sheng's quiet personnel actions.

From the end of May to the beginning of June, Zhao Xing removed 17 officials from a total of 23 officials, transferred 27 officials from Lin'an, and expelled them to a difficult place in Lingnan to serve as county magistrates and other officials, which was like exile.

All the positions they had vacant were used by Zhao Xing to resettle officials from the war faction.

Among the removed officials, there is no shortage of senior officials.

For example, Tang Situi was dismissed. After he helped the Ming army complete his mission of cede land and returned to the court, he was impeached.

Zhao Sheng saw that Tang Situi was not happy with him and felt that although Tang Situi did not contact Zhao Tie, Zhao Wanjun, he was a pure peacemaker. When talking about peace talks, fighting was like dementia. What use does such a person want him?

How could the Prime Minister of the Empire allow such a person to be held?

Some officials promoted by Zhao Xingxin understood what Zhao Xing meant and never mentioned some of Tang Situi's contributions in this war. Instead, they took out some of the things that were stolen in Tang Situi's past, criticized him and attacked him.

Tang Situi inexplicably became the target of public criticism. Before he could fight back, he received the emperor's edict, giving him a decent name and a free agent who promoted the Taoist temple, so that he could go home to take care of his old age.

Tang Si's ominous premonition before retreating north was actually fulfilled, and he really became the first person among high-ranking officials to be eliminated.

Although the emperor and the ministers are said to be the emperor, Zhao Xing's actions are a bit too fast.

After Tang Situi, it was Shen Qiao. Shen Qiao and Tang Situi didn't wear a pair of pants, but they could be considered sleeping on a quilt. The two of them had the same intentions, and in Zhao Sheng's eyes, they were in love with each other.

When Lin'an was in danger, the two of them made no contributions. They only knew how to pretend to be mute and did nothing. Shi Hao was the only one who was holding on, and they were reluctantly unable to hold on to the situation.

What's the use of you?

So Shen Qiao was also impeached, saying that he had problems with his lifestyle. He was quite a big man and even took a 16-year-old concubine. He was disrespectful to the old man and was not worthy of being a prime minister and became an example for all officials.

This is purely a revenge for nothing.

But there is no way. The emperor is the one who wants to retaliate against him. He is the emperor who decides life and death with just one word. What else can Shen do?

So Chen Zhe also got into a leisurely life as a Taoist temple and returned to his hometown to retire.

The former interim heads of the Privy Council, Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi, were considered to be mediocre in such a failure, without military talent, and were not worthy of the important position of the Privy Council, so they were transferred to local administrative officials and no longer appeared in the central government.

Their vacant positions were filled by the pro-war officials who re-entered the Lin'an court.

During this period, the officials who had been excluded from the war who had rushed back to Lin'an one after another were also appointed as senior officials one after another, and had a lot of real power.

For example, Zhang Jun was appointed as the Minister of the Privy Council and became the military chief of the Song Dynasty.

Hu Quan, the famous war-firm minister, was appointed as the head of the Privy Council and became the second military officer of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Kangbo was appointed as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Then Shi Hao was appointed as the Minister of Shangshu, becoming the second prime minister after Chen Kangbo.

Then he appointed Wang Dabao, who was also the minister of the war, as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Lianghan was appointed as the Minister of War, Wang Yingchen was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and Chen Junqing was appointed as the Minister of Revenue.

Of course, Zhao Xing did not forget the three courageous young officials who still insisted on resisting at the last moment.

He decided to give them some opportunities to show their talents.

So he transferred Yu Yunwen, Lu You and Han Yuanji to the Privy Council and became editors of the Privy Council, and participated in the daily affairs of the Privy Council.
