In Lin'an City, in a restaurant near the Imperial College, Zhao Tai, dressed as a scholar, sat with Chengde in the middle of the lobby. There were several dishes and a pot of rice wine on the table.

Zhao Tai is a man of talent. He looks like anything he wears. He wears a round-collar robe, a Zhan scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He is extremely elegant, and his talent is no less than that of a high-ranking official from Ximen.

Chengde, who was sitting opposite him, had a worse image, but was better than Chenghu.

"Sir, I really can't eat anymore." Chengde looked at Yizhuo Cai. They changed several restaurants and ate from morning to evening.

Zhao Tai said: "Eat as much as you can, otherwise the dishes on the table will not be touched, which will arouse people's suspicion."

Having said that, Zhao Tai held the chopsticks but did not move. When he saw Chengde starting to eat, he said to Chengde in a voice that could be heard from the table: "Brother Jin, have you heard about Li Yushi's death remonstrance?"

Chengde said: "How come I haven't heard that Li Yushi is really a loyal minister. But it's a pity that his sacrifice was in vain. The government is controlled by the prime minister. The imperial court will definitely join forces to destroy the gold."

Zhao Taidao: "I don't think so. Prime Minister Shi agrees to unite with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty, but Prime Minister Zheng does not agree. Now that something like this has happened, I don't think the imperial court will unite with Mongolia again."

"Brother Zhao, are you kidding? Mr. Zheng was sent to Zhongshu Province by Mr. Shi. Who in Lin'an doesn't know that Prime Minister Zheng follows Mr. Shi's lead in everything he does? How could he oppose Mr. Shi?" After several scenes, Chengde

His acting skills and line skills have improved significantly.

Zhao Tai lowered his voice and said, "You don't know this. I'll tell you quietly that Mr. Zheng may have arranged for Li Yushi's remonstrance this time."

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Chengde's face was frightened and panicked.

Zhao Tai said mysteriously: "How could I say such nonsense? To tell you the truth, just two days ago, I saw Mr. Zheng and Li Yushi meeting privately."

The two of them spoke louder and quieter. Several Imperial College students at the next table pricked up their ears and leaned sideways to eavesdrop.

The matter of Li Yushi was aroused in Lin'an City. The students of Taixue were quite interested in politics, so naturally they discussed it.

The matter was getting heated, and Zhao Tai's words immediately caught the attention of a student. He pricked up his ears but couldn't hear clearly, so he suddenly stood up and came to Zhao Tai's table to bow, "Brothers, I just heard you talk about it.

I wonder if you can tell me something about Li Yushi?"

Zhao Tai and Chengde looked panicked, and they stood up in unison. Zhao Tai waved his hands and said, "This brother must have heard wrong, we didn't say anything~"

Zhao Tai took out a banquet and put it on the table, then hurriedly fled the restaurant, leaving the people inside talking and thinking.

~~~~~~~

Zheng Qingzhi did not know that Zhao Tai was spreading the news that he was the one who ordered Li Yushi.

That day he returned to the mansion and called the doorman to inquire. When he learned that Zhao Tai did not show up, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The next day Zheng Qingzhi came to Zhongshu Province to work early, but found that Shi Miyuan, who had not come to work for many days, actually arrived at Zhongshu Province before him.

"Why did Shi Xiang come here today?" Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Shi Miyuan, "Shi Xiang, you have to take care of yourself!"

Shi Miyuan snorted coldly, "I am in very good health! Does Zheng Shenzheng particularly hope that I am not feeling well so that I can abdicate as soon as possible and make way for someone worthy of me?"

Zheng Qingzhi was stunned, with a look of horror on his face, "Why did the Prime Minister say this? How could a subordinate have such an idea!"

Shi Miyuan said coldly: "People's hearts are separated from each other. Only you know whether it is true or not."

After speaking, Shi Miyuan went to his official residence and ordered the officials of Zhongshu Province to send all the memorials and official documents to him.

Zheng Qingzhi was shocked. He stood blankly on the spot, not understanding what went wrong.

Shi Miyuan has not come to work in Zhongshu Province for a long time due to health reasons. Instead, he gives instructions remotely from home. Now that he suddenly came here and asked for official documents to be sent to him, it shows that he no longer trusts Zheng Qingzhi.

This made Zheng Qingzhi start to panic, and soon Shi Miyuan gave Zheng Qingzhi another critical blow.

In Shi Miyuan's eyes, Li Bin was just a small censor, who usually had little sense of existence. His sudden appearance when Song Meng was about to sign a treaty must have been instigated by someone.

Just when he was doubting and thinking hard about who was against him, he heard the news from his subordinates that Zheng Qingzhi was the mastermind behind the scenes.

This shocked Shi Miyuan extremely. He didn't expect that Zheng Qingzhi, who he was guiding, was actually the mastermind behind it.

Of course, Shi Miyuan also had doubts, whether someone wanted to get rid of Zheng Qingzhi and replace Zheng Qingzhi's position.

In fact, Shi Miyuan's suspicion was correct. The fact that the news spread by Zhao Tai reached Shi Miyuan's ears so quickly was because someone wanted to add fuel to the flames and take the opportunity to bring down Zheng Qingzhi.

Shi Miyuan has controlled the government for more than 20 years and has many party members. There is also competition within the Shi Party.

Zheng Qingzhi had always been trained by Shi Miyuan as his successor. Shi Miyuan would help Zheng Qingzhi ascend to the position of prime minister before he retired.

This means that Zheng Qingzhi blocked the way of other Shi Party officials. After Li Zhixiao heard the news, he immediately informed Shi Miyuan, hoping to make Shi Miyuan doubt Zheng Qingzhi and replace him as Shi Miyuan's successor.

Shi Miyuan didn't completely believe the rumors in the city, but he couldn't take the risk.

Shi Miyuan knew clearly that he was not clean during the years he had been in power. If he had not been succeeded by a close confidant, he would probably have been liquidated after he retired.

Now he no longer trusts Zheng Qingzhi and has concerns in his heart, so he decides to choose a new successor and let the new successor take care of his family and protect his reputation.

As the prime minister, Shi Miyuan acted very quickly. After he came to the Zhongshu Province to take back his power, he immediately took action again. On the grounds that the Zhongshu Province was short of manpower, he recommended Li Zhixiao to the Zhongshu Province as a political advisor.

This immediately made Zheng Qingzhi feel a huge crisis.

At dusk, Zheng Qingzhi returned to his mansion and sat at the table to eat with his family. However, facing the table full of food, he had no appetite.

At this time, he put down his bowls and chopsticks, left the dining table and walked to the yard under the surprised eyes of his family members, thinking deeply about what happened today.

Shi Miyuan suddenly took action and knocked him unconscious with a combination of punches. He still doesn't understand why Shi Miyuan suddenly turned against him.

At this time, he was walking in the garden, and the housekeeper suddenly came over and said, "My lord, I just heard the news that my lord is opposed to the Mongolian-Song alliance, and has ordered Li Yushi to remonstrate with him to fight against Shi Xiang!"
