Chapter 68
In the operation of major affairs of the imperial court, the ruling party played an important role in decision-making, and Shi Miyuan used various political means to make the ruling platform a tool of personal power.

Shi Miyuan never reported to the emperor to take orders, and did not issue surveys and studies to relevant institutions, but went directly to it. At that time, he was called "Shang Xian Xing".At this time, all matters in the imperial court were directly implemented after his ruling, and the emperor's "playing imperial painting decree" was played afterwards, that is, the process of supplementing the emperor's "painting decree" afterwards.This practice effectively bypassed the emperor's decision-making process.

And controlling the officials in power is his main method. Throughout the Jiading period, there were: Lei Xiaoyou, Lou Ji, Lou Yao, Zhang Liangneng, Yuwen Shaojie, Zheng Zhaoxian, Zeng Conglong, Ren Xiyi, Xuan Zong, Yu Among the 12 people including Ying Fu, Cheng Zhuo, and Xue Ji, except for Yu Yingfu and Cheng Zhuo who have been in power for a short time, the rest are either Shi Miyuan's confidantes or Shi Miyuan's allies.

They were able to effectively carry out Shi Miyuan's orders, and they directly overtook the emperor.

In addition to the above two methods, the realization of Shi Miyuan's monopoly also relied on a group of subordinate officials who were directly in charge of military and state document affairs, namely the Prosecutor, the Dusi and the Shuguan.

Dusi refers to the left and right divisions of Shangshu province, also known as left and right cao.The permanent official positions are Langzhong and Yuanwailang, the left and right divisions of Shangshu Province. These officials are collectively called Dusi officials, also referred to as Dusi.The so-called "all matters in the world are above the government and the province are all related to the capital department", which shows its important position in the operation of government affairs in the Southern Song Dynasty.The main function of the Dusi is to assist the prime minister and the prime minister in managing the affairs of the Liucao, and to conduct inspection and supervision.

In addition, all documents sent to the province must be divided into the inspection department and the capital department to draw up a document. In the daily handling of government affairs, the inspection department is above the six departments. Therefore, these important departments in power are basically Shi Mi. Yuan's confidants, including the four woods and three murderers, have held these important positions for a long time.

That is to say, under Shi Miyuan's various means, at this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, many affairs, large and small, were handled directly in the prime minister's mansion, bypassing Emperor Ningzong.

So later Wei Liaoweng said: "The prestige has been achieved, so the decision is made in the house door, and the power is in the bed. People don't know whether it will survive or die."

It means that Shi Miyuan already has the power over the world, all matters big and small in the Southern Song Dynasty can be decided in his room, even on the bed.

In the later period, Shi Miyuan's home was almost the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Of course, this kind of centralization still has adverse reactions, that is, Shi Miyuan is too busy, and now after nine o'clock in the evening, the prime minister's mansion is still busy.

Xue Ji is here today, as is Zhao Rushu, the Minister of War.

The two of them just brought a document to Shi Miyuan.

According to the document, King Yi wanted to transfer military officers Li Pingbao and Li Pingshan to Wei Wangfu.

This matter involved King Yi, and the military officer was mobilized, the two dared not neglect, and brought it to Shi Miyuan immediately.

Shi Miyuan looked at the list on the document, frowned and asked, "Who are Li Pingbao and Li Pingshan?"

Xue Ji smiled and said: "They are Li Pingxia's clan brothers, they are all just bought military officers."

"They bought Jiupin Chengxinlang from Hanzhou on Chengdu Fulu. They probably don't want to go to Sichuan, so please transfer Yiwang to Wangfu."

This means that they have to be assigned real positions in the Imperial City Division.

"Who is Li Pingxia?" Shi Miyuan had never heard of such a small role.

At this moment, Xue Ji looked up at Zhao Rushu. Zhao Rushu had the title of Minister of the Ministry of War anyway, so he should know better than him.

Zhao Rushu understood it, and stepped forward and said: "Li Pingxia is the grandson of Li Xianzhong. He was promoted to Wu Yiwei before, and he was promoted to Cheng Xinlang. This guy himself is also a military officer. , the assessment was extremely strict, and it caused outrage, and there were a total of [-] assessments that year, but only [-] passed, and everyone who caused trouble was evil."

When Shi Miyuan heard this, he immediately remembered the past.

This matter is quite serious, because the Southern Song Dynasty Yinbu assessment was just a cutscene, meaning that they are all descendants of officials and honors, don't you know?Your son might go through this scene another day.

So before Li Pingxia became an examiner, the pass rate was almost [-]%, and it was rare for one or two people to fail.

Unexpectedly, in the year when Li Pingxia was an examiner, only a dozen or so of the more than 200 people were killed, and the officials were alarmed.

After this incident, Li Pingxia was completely blocked by the military. You must know that most of the people who entered the list of military attaches are military descendants.

Li Pingxia has offended the entire military, so up to now, he has not even been dispatched, and has received Cheng Xinlang's basic salary.

Shi Miyuan's mind quickly circled, Cheng Xinlang was only the lowest-ranking military envoy in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he would be a platoon-level cadre in future generations.

But King Yi wants to transfer two platoon-level cadres to the palace, what do you want to do?Why do you want to do this?
"How did King Yi get acquainted with them? Why was he transferred?"

Zhao Rushu said with a smile: "I heard that King Yi has good money, will the Li family send money to King Yi?"

There is this possibility, Shi Miyuan thought of King Yi's appearance of loving money, it is really possible to do this.

Xue Ji thought for a while, and said slowly: "Wei Liaoweng, a friend of the Prince of Wei's residence, once stayed in martial arts, and was familiar with several members of the Li family, and had a good relationship. Wei Liaoweng also recommended Li Pingshan as a Beijing official. Is it possible to participate in Yinbu, Wei Liaoweng helped to say it in front of King Yi?"

Shi Miyuan was silent for a while, thinking of Wei Liaoweng in his mind.

Wei Liaoweng was a person who specifically opposed Shi Miyuan in the later stage, but this time it was okay, Wei Liaoweng was still a low official and had no chance to speak in the court, so the confrontation with Shi Miyuan head-on had not happened yet. Otherwise, Zhao Yurui would not dare to be transferred to Wei Wangfu.

"What is King Yi doing recently?" Shi Miyuan looked at Zhao Rushu.

Zhao Rushu said: "The king of Yi has been busy doing business recently. Many craftsmen are in the palace, creating a miasma every day. It is said that they rented a hook bar outside. What kind of shop do they want to open?"

"..." Xue Ji couldn't laugh or cry, this King Yi didn't study hard, what kind of shop did he open?Are you still with the people in Goulan?
King Yi's mind was still on making money, and the Li brothers must have been introduced to him by Wei Liaoweng, they were just two Chengxin Langs, and they were only in charge of the imperial city, and they were not in charge of the army.

Shi Miyuan thought about it quickly, and felt that this was a trivial matter.

Wei Wang's Mansion does not have its own soldiers and horses, and the guards are all dispatched by the Imperial City Division. The Li brothers transferred to the Imperial City Division are just two ordinary guards in the palace. .

Shi Miyuan quickly said: "We still have to support King Yi's matter."

Xue Ji and Zhao Rushu nodded quickly.

Especially Zhao Rushu, who knew that King Yi went to the mansion to pay a special visit last time, and he was not there, so he even gave him a gift. He felt that King Yi was more up-to-date.

"However, Mingke (Zhao Rushu) should remind Deyuan (Zheng Qingzhi) to carefully supervise Yiwang's homework, and advise Yiwang to have less contact with people like Wei Liaoweng."

"Yes, Prime Minister, I understand." Zhao Rushu bowed his head.

Xue Ji immediately said: "Do you want to transfer Wei Liaoweng away?"

Shi Miyuan thought for a while, and Zhao Yurui transferred two cadres at the platoon level. If he wanted to transfer Wei Liaoweng away like a frightened bird, what would King Yi think?
He wanted to make King Yi the emperor, and tried not to create any unpleasant things with Zhao Yurui.

"Don't act rashly for now." He finally said in a deep voice.
