He did not ask why it was Li Di and not him, because it was useless to ask. This was an order from the Constitutional Council, or perhaps it was an order from Zhao Jun.

After the eunuch left, Xia Song's expression became serious.

Although he hid well last time and Liu Yuanyu's confession alone could not pose any threat to him, it was obvious that Zhao Jun was very dissatisfied.

This made Xia Song a little regretful about why he was so mean and had to mention it to Liu Yuanyu casually.

The main reason was that I didn't expect the emperor to trust Zhao Jun so much.

You must know that the current officials have always been suspicious and extremely wary of party struggles. Therefore, once someone holds great power, he will often be dismissed or demoted.

Even prime ministers like Lu Yijian, Li Di, and Wang Zeng only went in and out of the court several times and almost never held real power for a long time.

Therefore, when Zhao Jun suddenly came to power, it shocked the court. Countless people in the court did not want the emergence of a political system court with such great power, and also controlled law enforcement agencies such as the Imperial City Bureau, so there was a wave of opposition.

However, Xia Song was proud of his seniority, but he was only a deputy envoy of the Three Departments. Neither the Prime Minister, the Privy Minister, nor even the Vice Prime Minister had anything to do with him. Naturally, he was dissatisfied, so he wanted to see if he could put some pressure on others or create some obstacles.

It was originally thought that Liu Yuanyu would cause some trouble for the Constitutional Yuan, letting the government see the incompetence of the Constitutional Yuan and then depose him and promote him. However, it was unexpected that the power of the Constitutional Yuan was so terrifying.

It's terrible that a deputy envoy of the Three Departments and the entire department were dismissed.

Now Zhao Jun not only holds great power, but also has the strong support of the emperor and many prime ministers, and has established a huge force in the court.

Although he has not been exposed, Liu Yuanyu has already betrayed him. Obviously, whether Zhao Jun believes it or not, he will be wary of his existence.

It seems that I should be more reserved during this period and not act rashly.

Xia Song pondered.

At the same time, other departments also have different attitudes.

Cheng Lin, the Third Secretary, was naturally annoyed. He was a Third Secretary with a high position and power, but in the blink of an eye he was no longer the Prime Minister, and was expected to become the Minister of Finance.

Judging from the current situation, the status of each ministry is slightly lower than that of the previous Three Commissioners and Privy Councilors, and is similar to that of the Deputy Commissioners.

Cheng Lin was naturally unhappy about being suddenly demoted, so he planned to object at the court meeting the next day.

The officials of other government offices were different. Some of them complained that the court was looking for trouble this time and was forcing reforms on a good system.

Some were overjoyed, feeling that the opportunity had come.

Others take an indifferent attitude, thinking that they have been doing it before and will be doing it in the future anyway.

But they don’t know that many officials here will regret it in the future.
