With the support of the army, Song Qingshu began to counterattack in an all-round way.
First cleanse the rest of King Yi's party, and a series of officials involved in King Yi's rebellion were purged. Because King Yi had always been closely related to the four major families, many officials from the Jia family, historians, and Xue family were also involved.
Of course, Song Qingshu still had room for it, and didn't touch the people in the innermost circle of these companies, lest they come to death and the net is broken, it would not be worthwhile.
Even so, many branches of several families were cleaned up, and a large number of positions were vacated. Song Qingshu took the opportunity to promote the former ministers of the Han family.
Of course, in order to avoid Han Tuozhou's mistakes in the past, he followed Li Shouzhong's suggestion of "recommending all sages" and wooed people from the Jianshan Academy.
First of all, the ban on studying was removed, and the ministers Zhao Ruyu and Lu Zuqian who were dismissed when Han Tuozhou was in power were restored to office, and Zhu Xi was posthumously appointed as an official, and fifteen old people such as Lin Dazhong and Lou Yao were called into the court, and Yang Jian, Li Xinchuan, etc. were appointed. Many Neo Confucianists, even Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, who had impeached him, wantonly rewarded and promoted him.
Then, Zhu Xi, Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, and Zhang Zai, the Confucianists who did not meet the conditions for posthumous posthumous titles, were given the posthumous titles of Wen, Yuan, Chun, Zheng, and Ming respectively, so as to improve the status of Neo-Confucianism and win over Neo-Confucianists. support.
Therefore, even though Song Qingshu married two princesses at the same time, and all kinds of behaviors were contrary to the philosophy of Neo-Confucianism, but as the so-called cannibalism is soft and short-handed, Neo-Confucianism has enjoyed unprecedented treatment, and the impression of him is much better, although still some Daru often impeached him, but in the end it was only a minority. He succeeded in winning the friendship of most people in Jianshan Academy.
Of course, in addition to this, Song Qingshu puts a lot of energy on the control of the army. Now he is holding the emperor to order the princes, holding the tiger charm, and at the same time he is still in charge of state affairs and has the authority to deploy troops. With the system of the Song Dynasty, theoretically the army will listen to him. However, the power structure of the Song Dynasty in this world has changed. The power of the four major families is too deep-rooted. Many people in the army are their protégés and old officials. If something really happens, he may not be able to mobilize the army.
Coming from later generations, he deeply understands the principle that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, so he attaches great importance to it. Fortunately, Han Yuzhou was quite powerful in the army before, and with these people as his team, it was much easier for him to rebuild the system.
Luo Riyuan, Yang Ming, Zhang Xing, Huayue and others, Han Yuzhou's former military center, were also transferred back from the Golden Snake Camp by him this time. Although they had committed the felony of assassinating Jia Sidao before, Jia Sidao is now dead. He is the top leader of the imperial court, so it is not too difficult to find a reason to clear them of their charges.
These people had a lot of contacts in the army, and they were familiar with Han Tuozhou's former team. With their help, Song Qingshu quickly took control of the army near the capital.
Coupled with the surrender of Gundam, Xiang Shibi and others in the region before, and the fact that Sichuan was originally under his control, now he is no longer as worried as before, and the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty has temporarily stabilized.
Of course, the influence of Shi Miyuan, Xue Ji, and the remnants of the Jia family in the army should not be underestimated. Song Qingshu will not be able to control all the troops in a short period of time, but at least it has ensured that they cannot use the army to "Qingjun side" What.
Ren Yingying has also been taken to the palace by him. During this period of time, she will be trained to learn her behavior habits, voice, etc., and at the same time, let her get in touch with the "confidantes" whom he has promoted in the court during this period.
Song Qingshu originally thought about not being so troublesome, but it is clear that the peace of Lin'an City is based on his strong force and prestige. If everyone knows that he has left Lin'an, all parties will definitely take action. Relying on Ren Yingying may not be able to suppress it, maybe the "team" that I have worked so hard to build during this period of time may also turn against me.
So he can only let Ren Yingying pretend to be himself, and sit in the capital. In Lin'an, no one is more suitable than her. Whether it is Chen Yuanyuan or Li Qingluo, each has its own shortcomings. Song Qingshu dare not easily put this As for sisters A Ke and Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huer, they didn't think about it at all.
Only Ren Yingying is the most trustworthy, smart and quick-witted, the key is that she used to be a high-ranking saint, she naturally has the temperament of a high-ranking person, and she was in charge of the Qi Palace some time ago, and has accumulated a certain amount of experience and prestige.
Moreover, behind Ren Yingying is the Sun Moon God Sect. Although the Sun Moon God Sect has good and bad members, it has indeed gathered a large number of talents. In addition, Song Qingshu is worried that the palace will not have enough force to suppress him after he leaves. After all, the historian still has an emperor. Shi Hao, the Xue family also has a sword god Xue Yiren, no matter who it is, it may not be able to stop it only with the masters of the Vulture Palace and the Golden Snake Camp.
As for Li Qingluo, the relationship between the two is very subtle. They are a couple, but they always feel that the relationship is a little bit worse. Simply speaking, they are friends. Maybe staying in the palace all day to assist Ren Yingying, and she alone may not be the opponent of Shi Hao, Xue Yiren and others.
Song Qingshu had always had a headache, but Ren Yingying solved the problem. It turned out that Ren Woxing felt sorry for his daughter to come to see her, so she stayed here as a bodyguard, which solved the problem of lack of high-end military force in the palace.
Over the years, the cooperation between Song Qingshu and Ren Woxing has gone deep into every aspect. In addition, the team of Lin'an Qi Palace was basically formed by people from the Sun Moon God Sect, so the relationship between the two parties has become the closest ally. It doesn't matter if the secret is properly revealed to him.
Originally, Ren Woxing and Lin'an were still very upset this time. After all, Ren Yingying was his only daughter, but the son-in-law was a philanderer, and married two more princesses in front of his daughter.
Ren Woxing even thought about giving this son-in-law a good lesson, but considering the gap in force between the two sides, he gave up the idea instantly. It's just that the dissatisfaction still exists in my heart, until I came to Lin'an and found that the other party had already controlled a country!
Ren Woxing was originally the kind with a great desire for power, otherwise he would not have planned to unify the martial arts world, but after he came to Lin'an, he found that his son-in-law was only one step away from the emperor, and instantly felt that those in the martial arts world were just small fights. Little trouble.
In the past, no matter how good Song Qingshu's martial arts were, he would complain about his daughter, but once he knew that the other party was really likely to become emperor, all his dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.
Being an imperial concubine or even becoming an empress would make him much more radiant than being a concubine, so when he heard his daughter's request, he immediately agreed, and was even more active than Ren Yingying in dealing with government affairs.
After arranging everything after he left, Song Qingshu knew that it was time to go to Xixia to recruit relatives, but now he was faced with a problem. Ren Yingying disguised himself as him and sat in Lin'an, so he himself could not show up in public. Of course, for Xixia, they It is also impossible to openly marry the princess to a man with many wives, so it doesn't matter much if Song Qingshu doesn't use his identity.
But this creates a problem, that is, in what capacity does he participate in Xixia's recruitment? After all, Li Qinglu was already his man, and he didn't want her to be taken away by other men. Even if he secretly manipulated the selection process to prevent the Mongolian prince from succeeding, there would be a winner in the end.
So after much deliberation, he has to become a candidate for recruiting relatives in order to ensure that he will embrace the beautiful woman. To be shortlisted for Xixia to recruit relatives, the candidates must be princes and grandsons, or they must be giants who dominate one side, and Song Qingshu cannot use his identity, which makes him extremely headache.
In the end, it was Li Qingluo's proposal that made him suddenly happy, that is to pretend to be Jia Baoyu!
First of all, Jia Baoyu is dead, only he and Zhou Zhiruo know that Jia Baoyu is missing, and everyone else only knows that Jia Baoyu is missing; Qualified to participate in Xixia recruitment.
The most important thing is that after Jia Sidao's death, Jia Baoyu is theoretically the heir of the Jia family. The huge Jia family group has been silent for a while. In the final analysis, the dragons have no leader, so they have to stay dormant for a while, but this does not mean that the crisis has been eliminated. , sooner or later, these people will explode.
Once Jia Baoyu returns to Jia's mansion, his status as the heir will naturally call on his confidants who are still loyal to Jia Sidao, people from Jia's group lurking everywhere will surround him, Shi Miyuan and Xue Ji may do whatever they want To win him over to cooperate.
In this way, Song Qingshu can know the enemy's overall plan in advance, and it will be difficult to lose at that time.
"Suddenly I feel a little sinister." Looking at the smile on the corner of the young master's mouth in the mirror, Song Qingshu couldn't help complaining.
After all, it took a few days of preparation work to return to Jia's mansion, and it was impossible to go to Xixia to recruit relatives immediately, so after making this plan, Song Qingshu immediately disguised himself as Jia Baoyu, so that he could leave for Xixia as soon as possible.
When Song Qingshu appeared at the gate of Jia's mansion, the concierge looked at him in disbelief, and then ran back to the mansion like crazy to report: "Second Master Bao is back, Second Master Bao is back!"
The entire Rongguo Mansion and the nearby Ningguo Mansion were all boiling. During this time, the Jia Mansion has experienced a transformation from heaven to hell. The glory of the Shangjia Mansion remains undiminished, but everyone has a feeling that the building is about to collapse.
Not only Jia Sidao died on Wudang Mountain, but also Jia Jing and Jia She, the most important men in the mansion. Now the Rongning and Ning mansions can be said to be full of yin and yang, and the remaining few houses are also for the sake of the patriarch. Now that Jia Baoyu, the most legitimate heir, has returned, it seems to have given everyone in the Jia family a shot in the arm.
The wives, ladies and maidservants of each house came out to see her one after another. The previously lifeless Jia's mansion instantly regained its vitality. Looking at the Yingying and Yanyan that filled the yard, Song Qingshu couldn't help but look weird because he thought of Li Qingluo's proposal to him: "One of the four great families It is so difficult because they have been connected with each other over the years. If you can divide and disintegrate their relationship, you can easily break them one by one. There are several ladies and wives of big families gathered in the Grand View Garden. You use Jia Baoyu's identity to mess around With one pass, it is likely that several families will be turned against each other."
