Cold All Over
Among the three provinces and nine temples in the imperial court, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Shangshu Province.
The six ministries of Shangshu, officials, rituals, soldiers, workers, criminals, and households, encompass all the power in the world, and all affairs of the state are controlled by the six ministries.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Shangshu Province now surpasses Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province and becomes Shang Province.
Now the Prime Minister of Song is in the court of Shrouding the Heavens, and the three ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Punishment of the six ministries are all from the Song dynasty.
Although Lu Ming, the minister of household, was born in the Lu clan, he was Song Xiu's brother-in-law and had always been an ally of the Song clan.
Four of the six ministries are partisans of the Song clan, which is why the Song clan is called the "Song Half Dynasty".
