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

Shi Miyuan never reported to the emperor for orders, nor did he send relevant agencies to conduct investigation and research, but went ahead directly. At that time, he was called "Shang Xianxing". At this time, all matters in the court were directly implemented after his decision.

The emperor's "painting edict" was then reported to the emperor afterwards, which meant that the emperor's "painting edict" was supplemented after the fact. This practice actually bypassed the emperor's decision-making process.

Controlling the central government officials was his main means. During the entire Jiading period, those who served as governors successively included: Lei Xiaoyou, Lou Ji, Lou Yao, Zhang Liangneng, Yuwen Shaojie, Zheng Zhaoxian, Zeng Conglong, Ren Xiyi, Xuan Zhen, and Yu.

There are twelve people including Ying Fu, Cheng Zhuo, and Xue Ji. Among them, except Yu Yingfu, Cheng Zhuo was in power for a short time, and the rest are either Shi Miyuan's confidants or Shi Miyuan's allies.

They were able to effectively carry out Shi Miyuan's instructions, directly outperforming the emperor.

In addition to the above two means, the realization of Shi Miyuan's exclusive power also relied on a group of subordinate officials who were directly responsible for military and state document affairs, namely, prosecutors, governors and governors.

Dusi refers to the left and right si of the Shangshu Province, also known as the left and right cao. The permanent official positions are the left and right silang of the Shangshu Province, Langzhong and Yuanwailang. These generals are collectively called Dusiguan, also referred to as Dusi. The so-called "all affairs in the world are related to the government and the province."

"Dusi" shows its important position in the government affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty. The main function of Dusi is to assist the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister to manage the affairs of the Six Cao and conduct inspection and supervision.

In addition, when documents arrive at the provincial level, they must be divided into the Provincial Department of Justice and the Dusi Department to prepare a submission. In the daily handling of government affairs, the Procuratorate Department is superior to the six ministries and departments, so these important departments in charge are basically all Shimi.

Distant confidants, including Simu and Sanji, have held these important positions for a long time.

That is to say, under Shi Miyuan's various methods, many large and small matters in the Southern Song Dynasty were handled directly at the Prime Minister's Mansion, bypassing Emperor Ning Zong.

Therefore, later Wei Liaoweng said: "The power has been established, and then the decision is made in the door of the house, and the power is exercised in the bed, and no one knows its survival."

This means that Shi Miyuan already had all the power in the world, and all matters of the Southern Song Dynasty could be decided in his room, or even on his bed.

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

Of course, such centralization of power still has side effects, that is, Shi Miyuan is too busy, and as of now after nine o'clock in the evening, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still busy.

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

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

The document said that King Yi wanted to transfer military attachés Li Pingbao and Li Pingshan to the Palace of the King of Wei.

The matter involved King Yi and the mobilization of military attachés. The two of them did not dare to neglect and immediately took it to Shi Miyuan.

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

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

"They bought Chengxin Lang, a ninth-grade man from Hanzhou on Chengdu Road. He probably didn't want to go to Sichuan, so he asked King Yi to transfer him to the palace."

This means that they have to be assigned actual duties in the Imperial City Department.

"Who is Li Pingxia?" Shi Miyuan has never heard of such a small character.

Xue Ji then raised his head and glanced at Zhao Rushu. After all, Zhao Rushu had the title of Minister of War, so he should know better than him.

Zhao Rushu understood the idea and stepped forward and said: "Li Pingxia is the grandson of Li Xianzhong. He was promoted to Jinwu Yiwei before and was later promoted to Chengxinlang. This guy himself was also a military attache in Yinbu. The imperial court arranged for him to evaluate the Yinbu personnel, but he was disowned by his relatives.

, the assessment was extremely strict, causing outrage and resentment. There were a total of 208 assessments that year, but only 18 passed. The trouble was evil to everyone."

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

This matter is quite big, because before the Southern Song Dynasty Yin supplementary examination was just a formality. I mean, they are all the descendants of officials. Don't you know it? Your son may also go through this scene another day.

Therefore, before Li Pingxia became an examiner, the pass rate was almost 100%, and it was rare for one or two people to fail.

Unexpectedly, when Li Pingxia was the examiner, he went on a killing spree. Only a dozen of the more than 200 people passed, and the officials were alarmed.

After this incident, Li Pingxia was completely blacklisted by the military. You must know that most of the people on the military attache's supplementary list are descendants of the military.

Li Pingxia has offended the entire military, so until now, he has not even been sent out, and he only gets Cheng Xinlang's basic salary.

Shi Miyuan's mind was spinning rapidly. Cheng Xinlang was just the lowest-ranking military envoy in the Southern Song Dynasty. In future generations, he would be a company and platoon-level cadre. With his status, he would not even look at him.

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 to know them? Why did he need to be transferred?"

Zhao Rushu smiled and said: "I heard that King Yi is rich in money. Will the Li family give money to King Yi?"

There is this possibility. Shi Miyuan thought about how King Yi loved money, and it was really possible to do this.

Xue Ji thought for a while and said slowly: "Wei Liaoweng, a friend of the Prince of Wei, once studied in a martial arts school. He is familiar with several people in the Li family and has a good relationship. Wei Liaoweng also recommended Li Pingshan as a capital official.

Is it possible that Wei Liaoweng helped to say that he was involved in Yinbu in front of King Yi?"

Shi Miyuan was silent for a while, thinking about Wei Liaoweng.

Wei Liaoweng specifically opposed Shi Miyuan in the later period, but this time it was fortunate that Wei Liaoweng's official position was still low and he had no chance to speak in the court, so a head-on confrontation with Shi Miyuan had not happened yet.

Otherwise, Zhao and Rui would not dare to be transferred into the Wei Palace.

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

Zhao Rushu said: "Prince Yi has been busy doing business recently. There are many craftsmen in the palace, creating a smoky atmosphere every day. It is said that he has rented a hook outside to open some kind of shop."

".." Xue Ji looked dumbfounded. If King Yi doesn't study hard, why should he open a shop? And he still hangs out with people from Goulan?

King Yi's mind was still on making money. The Li brothers must have been introduced to him by Wei Liaoweng. They were just two Chengxinlangs who had temporary posts in the Imperial City Department and were not in charge of the army.

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

The Prince of Wei's Mansion does not have its own soldiers and horses, and the guards are all dispatched by the Imperial City Department. The Li brothers were transferred to the Imperial City Department, and they are just two ordinary guards in the palace. They do not have their own soldiers and horses, but they have extra on-the-job money to send them.

.

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

Xue Ji and Zhao Rushu nodded quickly.

Especially Zhao Rushu, knowing that the last time King Yi went to the mansion to pay a special visit, he was not there, and even gave him a gift. He felt that this King Yi was more on the road.

"However, Mingke (Zhao Rushu) should remind Deyuan (Zheng Qingzhi) to carefully supervise King Yi's homework and advise King Yi to associate with people like Wei Liaoweng."

"Yes, Prime Minister, I understand." Zhao Rushu lowered his head and said.

Xue Ji immediately said: "Should we transfer Wei Liaoweng away?"

Shi Miyuan thought for a moment, and Zhao Yurui transferred two platoon-level cadres. If he was frightened and transferred Wei Liaoweng, what would King Yi think?

He wanted to make King Yi the emperor, and tried not to cause any unpleasantness with Zhao Yurui.
