Zhao Ji's Adam's apple shook slightly.

The expression on his face was even more filled with astonishment.

Fifty canes?

With that girl's small body, she probably wouldn't be able to survive even five blows, let alone fifty cane punishments.

If she really hits fifty, her life will probably be gone.

What's more, the cause of this incident is also me:

"Queen, why don't you just leave this matter alone and leave it all to me."

"That Liu Meiren was born into a poor family and is very young. If such a punishment comes suddenly, I'm afraid her life will be lost."

"If the Queen feels that half a year is too little, then she will fine her a salary of three years."

Liu Tanxin had been looking at Zhao Ji with an inexplicable and complicated look since he just said those words.

After looking at Zhao Ji, his heart went crazy, and his face gradually became feverish:

"Queen, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is there something wrong with my face?"

A rather helpless smile gradually appeared on Liu Tanxin's face.

While slowly shaking his head:

"I really didn't expect that such a fledgling little girl could win the favor of the officials."

"That's fine, but to the outside world, we can't talk about the official punishment of three years' salary."

"If we really tell the truth, we can only be fined for life and her rank will be reduced to the first level of a beautiful girl."

"This can also serve as a warning."

"To make those who dare to be rude to officials fearful."

"If not, I'm afraid things like this will happen again."

"Guan Jia, what do you think?"

The Liu Tanxin in front of her was not only rational and logical in her words.

Even more rare is a heart that takes the overall situation into consideration.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Ji take a high look at him in his heart:

"What the Queen said is very reasonable, so let's handle this matter according to the Queen's words."

"Oh, by the way, Queen, if we count from the beginning, I have entrusted you with the official task of approving memorials for some time."

"I wonder, Queen, what thoughts do you have in your mind about the civil and military power of the Song Dynasty?"

"In other words, what are the factions in the court?"

"Which faction is stronger and which faction is weaker?"

"I saw that what you just said was logical and polite, but I don't know how much you can analyze these things?"

"After all, some state affairs require more consideration in this regard when handling them."

Liu Tanxin's sweet smile was really endearing.

The slight twists of the delicate body always give people a feeling of gentleness:

"It seems that the official's injury is almost healed."

"If this were not the case, I would not have come here specifically to question my concubine today."

"But this problem is hard for me to deal with."

"Although there are many officials in our Song Dynasty, if they are broken down, they can be organized into these factions."

"One is the faction headed by Cai Jing, followed by Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Yang Jian."

"Underneath it, there were still dozens of officers."

"It can be said that its power is spread inside and outside the court."

"Here, I won't let the officials do more enumeration. I will only talk about the four above."

"As far as Cai Jing's faction is concerned, not only does it include many officials, but more than half of the power in the court is also under the control of this faction."

"Its influence is the most powerful in the imperial court."

"Even in Suzhou and other places where my father is located, the minions of Cai Jing's faction are everywhere."

"It is said that many officials in the Song Dynasty were extremely flattering to Cai Jing."

"Even many local tyrants and gentry regard him as a god."

"Every holiday or on his birthday, I will do my best to give him gifts."

"As for Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and others under his command, they are either in charge of military power or in charge of the promotion of more than half of the officials in the court."

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the faction led by these people is number one."

"Of course, the above-mentioned things are both known to me and analyzed by me through the contents of the memorial."

"If the officials feel that what I say is wrong, they can also reprimand me sternly, and I will definitely bend down and listen."

Zhao Ji understood why Liu Tanxin was like this.

The bottom line is that the reason why Cai Jing and others have been able to develop their power to this point has a lot to do with that old boy Zhao Ji?

If it weren't for his unclear understanding of people, if it weren't for his wanton delegation of power.

How could it have resulted in today's situation if the power distribution of Cai Jing and others has not been curbed?

How could Cai Jing and his subordinates establish such a huge network of authority relationships?

At this moment, if Cai Jing and others are said to be at fault, wouldn't that be equivalent to blaming Zhao Ji himself?

But Zhao Ji, who came through time travel, was very satisfied with what Liu Tanxin said above.

Because what Liu Tanxin said happened to coincide with what Zhao Ji had guessed.

Zhao Ji gave Liu Tanxin a reassuring look and motioned for her to continue.

And when Liu Tanxin saw that Zhao Ji didn't express any intention of blaming him outright, a rather reassuring smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, she looked at Zhao Ji's eyes, and their eyes became brighter:

"The other force is the one led by two generals, Zhongshi Dao and Zhongshi Zhong, Su Yuanjing."

"In the past, this force has never been able to understand what Cai Jing and others did."

"I don't know how much I sent to the official family for participating in the memorial of Cai Jing and others."

"But every time this happens, those memorials are like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news."

"This faction has always advocated that officials stop building Gen Yue and stop obsessing over flowers, stone gangs and other objects."

"Repair the government internally and pacify the people externally. Clean water conservancy and benefit the people."

"But in recent days, this faction has reached the edge of existence in name only."

As soon as Liu Tanxin finished speaking, she sighed helplessly.

When his eyes were silent, it was like the fragrant tea in his hand had lost its flavor at that moment.

Zhao Ji's eyes blinked several times in succession.

The two rather thick eyebrows came together at this moment:

"Queen, why is this?"

"As far as I know, that Su Yuanjing is the Taiwei of the current dynasty, and the two veteran generals are also veterans of the battlefield who hold military power and have great military exploits."

"Such a person, even if he is not called the mainstay of the Song Dynasty, can still be regarded as a capable minister in governing the world."

"How can such three wise ministers be together in name only?"

Liu Tanxin's eyebrows were furrowed, and her smooth jade cheeks were filled with questions.

As she bit her red lips, a series of questions came out of her mouth one after another:

"Although I have never been able to have the opportunity to attend court with the official family."

"But for so long, I have also learned about many important events in the court from those memorials."

"Do the officials really think that I don't know about this?"

"Or are you talking about the official family, and they are interested in taking the exam as a concubine?"
