The Great Song Dynasty Political Affairs Hall is located west of Wende Hall, on the left hand side of the Privy Council, and is closer to the ban than the Privy Council. Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall is also called "Left Mansion" or "East Mansion".

From the outside, the central administrative location of the Song Empire is almost no different from the surrounding palaces.

The only difference is probably that there is a plaque at the entrance of the Political Affairs Hall.

The word "Zhongshu" is written on it.

This is also the origin of the name of the Secretariat.

In the evening, Lu Yijian took his Yuan Cong and drove from Xuande Gate to the palace, crossed Hengjie, and headed straight to the Zhengshi Hall.

"Father!" His son Lu Gongchuo immediately came out and helped Lu Yijian get out of the carriage. Lu Gongchuo immediately reported what he had discovered: "Half an hour ago, my soldier and two deputy envoys had already arrived at the Political Affairs Hall!"

When Lu Yijian heard this, he immediately sneered: "Zhang Dexiang seems to be bound to win!"

"What do you think of several participating in politics?" Lu Yijian asked with a clue.

"My son went to pay homage to Song Yang, Wang Yiyong and Cheng Lin..." Lu Gongchuo wanted to speak but stopped.

"What?" Lu Yijian raised his eyebrows: "What did they say?"

"They said nothing..." Lu Gongchuo lowered his head and said, "Cheng Lin was fine, but he saw his son... But Song Yang and Wang Yiyong both sent someone to say something, "There is a gathering discussion before, I dare not meet each other, I hope Yun Haihan..."

When Lu Yijian heard this, his face turned pale. After a long time, he said, "So, Fu Yanguo and Fan Xiwen were not wrong. This country should indeed strengthen the authority of the prime minister!"

But there was a thought of changing generals in my heart.

But this thought flashed through his heart and disappeared.

Because he knew that the time was not ripe now.

Because the official palace just changed blood last year!

Not only were the leaders of the two governments replaced, but the deputy envoys and political participants also replaced.

Now, the four people in the official government participated in politics, and they were all assigned to politics only after July.

Especially Wang Yiyong, he was going to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

However, in December, Song Shou, the deputy general manager who had just been in office for three months, passed away and could not find a candidate to replace him for a while. The official had to let Wang Yiyong get rid of the general manager.

If he suddenly changes his general, the official might be suspicious.

It doesn't matter if the official is suspicious, but he is afraid that some people in the garbage dump in Luoyang, Xijing, came out to lead the rhythm, saying that Lu Yijian is stubborn and monopolizes the power, and wants to be the contemporary Li Linfu.

This is not beautiful!

"Father, you..." Lu Gongchuo looked at his father and advised carefully: "Don't bother with them too much. The conclusion of the two governments' discussions is just a conclusion after all..."

"What do you know?" Lu Yijian glanced at his son and said, "The customization of ancestors is eight words - to prevent things and to control them!"

"Since the government has already made a document, the three provinces have also been obeyed the imperial edict and decided to make military and national affairs. The two governments will discuss, the prime minister, the ruler, and then sign it together to submit the imperial ruling. Then this is the system, the national law, the family law!"

"Even if I am the prime minister, I have the trust of the officials and I have entrusted them with full authority, I must respect and recognize and implement the results of the joint discussion between the two governments! Unless the officials overturn the conclusions of the two governments, the conclusions of the joint discussion between the two governments are the consensus of the center!"

Lu Yijian looked at his son deeply and warned: "My son, you must remember what you said for your father today in the future!"

"The system that has been set must not be desecrated, even if it is temporarily wronged, you must learn to accept it!"

"This will help you to be an official and work in the future!"

"Son can't save it!" Lu Gongchuo immediately bowed.

However, Lu Yijian looked at his son and understood in his heart that this young man would not know the beauty of the ancestral system now.

When he matures a little more and experiences more, he will know that everything in the Song Dynasty can be abandoned, but the ancestral system cannot be shaken!

Because it not only protects the officials, but also protects the ministers!

Therefore, the prime ministers and rulings can speak freely and do things with their hearts, without having to worry about being worn by others or being casually accused of being accused of, and the whole family has to go to the execution ground together.

Therefore, after Cao Yi committed suicide, all the civil servants and officials in the world wanted to help him shout for justice and rehabilitate him.

While talking, the father and son were surrounded by Yuan Cong and entered the political affairs hall.

The interior of the Zhengshi Hall is a rather simple courtyard.

The corridors, doors, windows and floors are painted with yellow paint.

This is a tradition since the Han Dynasty. When the prime minister treats matters, he must use yellow lacquer. Therefore, the Zhengshi Hall is also called "Huang Gu" and "Huang Door".

Today, Chao Zongxu, the deputy general of the imperial court, brought the other three participating officials out from the Houya to welcome him, and came to Lu Yijian and said, "You are welcome to the Yuantai and the next door!"

At the front of the back yamen, Zhang Dexiang, the official of the Privy Council, led his two Privy Council deputy envoys to greet him slightly at the side of the door.

"I'm sorry, my colleagues come out to greet you..." Lu Yijian smiled and walked up to everyone, "I'm old, my legs and feet are inconvenient. I came a quarter of an hour late. I'm going to wait for a long time. This is my fault!"

"Yuantai was joking..." Chao Zongxu naturally knew that Lu Yijian would not bow his head easily.

His head down now is probably to take the initiative in the capital hall later.

If you want to promote it, you should suppress it first. It’s a routine that literati know!

So, with each thought, everyone walked into the back of the political affairs hall in front of them.

With the bell ringing, the two governments gatherings in Guiwei, February of the first year of Qingmeng officially began.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Zhao Xin heard the bells of the Political Affairs Hall, she opened her eyes.

"Has the two governments started the gathering agreement?" He asked Xu Xi next to his bed.

"It should be!" Xu Xi replied.

"Whoever is the one who is here to listen to the Ministry of Eunuch today?" Zhao Xin asked again.

In May last year, his father decided to organize the system of the main government and the Privy Council to discuss and decide major matters together, and at the same time he also issued a patch - the two governments to discuss and discuss, and the eunuchs and provincial officials should send people to listen.

This is an attempt to prevent the two governments from connecting together to make big news.

Although, this possibility is slim.

However, out of the instinct of the emperor, this matter must be done.

Xu Xi shook his head and said, "This is not something that Weichen can know... Why don't Weichen go and ask Yang Gongfeng?"

Zhao Xin nodded.

Xu Xi turned around and left the hall, looked for Yang Huaimin and asked, and then came back to report: "Reporting to the Duke, Yang Gongfeng said that today's system should be Zhang Duzhi's rotation, so... the one who listened should be Zhang Duzhi..."

"Zhang Weiji?" Zhao Xin asked.

"It should be!" Xu Xi nodded.

Zhao Xin then felt relieved that Zhang Weiji was the eunuch whom he trusted the most in front of his father and the eunuch who was most respected in the Song Dynasty.

With him here, Lu Yijian would not dare to be too aggressive, so the result of the collective discussion might be biased towards his expectations.

Of course, Zhao Xin knew very well that even if the results of the two governments' joint discussions were biased towards his expectations, it would not mean that everything would be fine.

Because Lu Yijian will not admit defeat!

He would definitely go to his father to make trouble. The excuse was nothing more than sayings such as "Duke Shouguo is only two years old, so he never knew so much. I thought it must be someone who taught the Duke to say these things...'.

So, Zhao Xin knew that he had to be prepared.

If it is too late, tomorrow, and tonight, the ministers of the two governments and his father will come to him and ask him about something.

His answer not only determines the conclusion of today's two governments' discussions, but also determines whether his future speech counts and whether others will listen!
