Chapter Twenty-Eight: Self-inflicted

Zhao Jiu specially summoned Liang Su not because he was still worried about Shi Gao's affairs, but to confirm his position. After all, Han Shizhong had gone too far near Yanjing last time, and it was urgent to get those uneasy Yanyun Han'er back.

, Liang Su, who was born in Hebei and had a good reputation as an official for many years, is very suitable for this job, provided that he understands what is righteousness and what is small kindness.

Now it seems that the problem should not be big. As for Wang Sheng, leave it to Han Shizhong to take care of him. He doesn’t have the skills of King Han Qin and has only learned his bullying methods. Who gives you face? Even if it is Han Shizhong, it is because Xin Xingzong robbed him.

Credit is an act of revenge after becoming rich. What does this mean to you Wang Sheng? Do you only dare to show your teeth to the weak?

September is the best season in Tokyo, with smooth winds and pleasant temperatures. Zhao Jiu sat in the waterside pavilion of Yujin Garden, looking at the busy palace people from a distance, and felt a rare moment of relaxation in her heart.

Yujin Garden is located in the southwest of Ouchi, also known as Nanyu Garden. It was built during the Xiande period of the later Zhou Dynasty. Outside Nanxun Gate, there is a square pond in the garden, with an island in the pond, trees beside the pond, and beautiful flowers and trees in the river.

Although it is not as beautiful as the Ten Steps and One View of Alpan Palace in the Qin Dynasty, it can still be regarded as a fairy island with green hills, hundreds of pavilions and thousands of pavilions, and forest waterside. Treasures are offered in summer, and rare flowers are in spring. It is the time of Mengqiu, but it is also

The alternating colors of yellow and green, and the fragrance of osmanthus, are nothing compared to those in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, under the painstaking management of Emperor Taishang Daojun for more than 20 years, the number of royal buildings in Tokyo has increased dramatically, and the garden has gradually declined. It is only used to raise rare and exotic animals. As a result, it is a blessing and a misfortune.

Although the military siege of the city was robbed of extravagant wealth, it was not severely damaged. During the Jianyan period, the officials spent all their time developing various royal buildings, playing games, playing lottery, and even building houses for the heroes, but they actually missed it.

Of course, this may be because no one dared to pay tribute to Emperor Jianyan with auspicious animals, for fear that he would fill the fish pond.

Zhao Jiu turned his head and looked at the painting table not far away. Ma Xingzu was fearfully instructing Princess Shouchun Shenyou to paint, while Princess Foyou of Nanyang was grinding her sister on the side and comforting her in a low voice. Not far away, Huo You

The deer princess Yiyou was fishing, but couldn't sit still and went to play ball again. For a moment, she really felt that it was nice to have some quiet time.

As a middle-aged man in his thirties, why don’t we just look forward to our children?

As for my son, don’t be an eyesore and go to school!

"Official" Yang Yizhong bit the bullet and broke this beauty, because he really couldn't shirk it, "Ms. Liu wants to see you."

Zhao Jiu suddenly felt like a frost-beaten eggplant and said: "What's the matter? Yesterday I approved hundreds of discounts. What happened today? After all, he is also the father-in-law of the province. He has to ask me for everything. What else do you want him to do?"

"

What you are saying is, what was said two days ago about the Shuimu clique that frightened the two prime ministers to the point that they are still afraid to go out? Isn’t it you? This matter has only been in the past few days. Not to mention that Liu Xianggong is not that decisive, even if he is there,

You dare to seize power. Don’t you see that Fan Zongyin, the censor Zhongcheng who also came from the Nanyang sect, dare not say a word for this political big brother?

Not to mention that what he got before the imperial court was really a big deal. He solved many specific problems first, and he almost died of exhaustion. Don't think about it. The two provinces (the capital province and the Privy Council) had the full quota of six governors, each with six officials.

There were one prime minister and two deputies, but Hu Yin and Chen Gui were busy building in Yanjing, and the two powerful prime ministers were forced to write letters of repentance at home. What? There is also Han Shizhong, who has not yet done anything in the Privy Council.

After just two days, I felt like I couldn't live any longer. You have to know that Pohan has been working in the army for half of his life. Being a general or a prime minister is an honor given to him by the official family. Zhang Jun realized that Shangyi usually took him for a formality.

Suddenly, he was asked about army deployment, armament storage, military-civilian relations, and ordnance progress. He couldn't handle it even if he was unparalleled in the world! He quickly requested an order from the officials to go to Dingzhou to deal with Wang Sheng.

In this way, it turned out that the whole secret pavilion matter was entirely on Liu Ji's head. It was not that others bullied him, but that he really had no choice. The Minister of Rites, Zhai Ruwen, had just recorded a demerit and was actively preparing for the matter of the princess and hairpin to make amends. He still had to go home.

The minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chen Gongfu, was in charge of the matter, but the official appointment and dismissal plan in Lianghe was such a big matter that he could devote all his energy to it. He also had to implement the personnel transfer that the official personally arranged some time ago. Where?

Can he care about anything else? Lin Jingmo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is even busier. It is the autumn harvest and the Ministry of Revenue has to take care of the national taxation. Especially since the capitation tax was exempted just before the land was equalized last year, he can't concentrate at this time.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry went to Yanjing and took away more than half of the people. What use could the rest do? Quan Bangyan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had just taken office and had to be arrested to fill a hole for Han Shizhong. As for the Ministry of Punishment, Ma Shangshu said that Qiu

After the execution, our Criminal Department also has to verify death penalty cases across the country, and manage Jurchen prisoners of war, which is very busy.

As a result, the entire Chongwen Academy couldn't wait to work overtime every day. Feng Erguan said that candles were consumed twice as much as usual, and our Zhao Guan family couldn't even think of leisure. Without the pressure of the two great ministers, Liu Ji was not qualified enough and asked for instructions every day.

, but people didn't care, so he could only complain in private, and then politely invite people over.

At the same time, I can't help but regret that if I had known it would be so hard, I would have used another method to beat Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun. They took a month's paid leave at home, which exhausted me half to death.

But the first thing he said today made Zhao Guan's family very angry, "What does it mean that a princess from the imperial dynasty is entitled to a title after she surrenders? I have built a kingdom by myself, and I am willing to grant a title to my daughter. Can others control it?"

Liu Ji, who had gained a lot of wrinkles in a month, smiled bitterly when he heard this. Zhao Guan was not a fool, so he thought about it and said, "It must have been my great-aunt who said something else!"

Liu Ji lowered his head and said nothing.

By the way, the Zhao Guan family has this attitude towards their father and brother. How can you, an aunt who has been separated by so many generations, have the courage to make irresponsible remarks!

First of all, of course, it is because of her seniority and age. The eldest princess of Lu is the only living child of Renzong. Her consort Qian Jingzhen is a descendant of Qian Liu, the founder of the Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The famous minister Qian

Weiyan's grandson.

As we all know, when Renzong had no children and adopted Yingzong as the emperor, Yingzong still insisted on the Song Dynasty version of the "Great Ceremony". You are even more unreasonable than Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, because you are officially adopted. If you don't want to let go of your biological father, why don't you

I want this throne!

So later on, the Yingzong family knew that they were in the wrong, so they naturally treated Princess Renzong with kindness. And this old lady was also a rare longevity person. She managed to survive six generations of emperors. Now, when the Jin army went south, they clearly found the royal family tree.

It was because no one thought she was still alive that she made it safely to the south of the Yangtze River. If it were placed in an ordinary dynasty, it would definitely be Renrui. She would have whatever she wanted. She knew she didn’t want much, she just wanted to give money to her only surviving biological son.

If you want to be promoted to an official position, it is best to be an official from the secret palace. If the current official is not from this official family, it is really not a big problem.

But it's a pity that our Zhao official family hates all those who try to follow the old path, and ruthlessly cleans up all those who can't contribute to the fight against gold and still occupy official positions. As early as after Yaoshan, they chased after the indiscriminate favor. And you said

The feud between Renzong and Yingzong that happened several lifetimes ago has nothing to do with me. I don’t even pay attention to the Second Sage. If I have any objections, I will ask the ancestors.

Ordinarily, most people would not dare to be verbose with the emperor, but the old lady was over eighty and was not afraid of what the emperor's great-nephew might do to her. In the past two years, she did not dare to go too far. Now that the Northern Expedition was victorious, she has not relented. Only then did she understand that if she

If she doesn't show off her face, once she closes her eyes, her son will have no choice but to live as an official for the rest of his life, so he simply uses the matter of the princess and hairpin to rely on his elders and make irresponsible remarks.

This is very annoying for civil and military officials who are promoted based on their ability. Qu Duan once ridiculed that Qian Chen, who is in his fifties, still relies on his mother to get an official position. He will not seek an official career on his own. I can't tell if there is something wrong with him. He is sick.

It needs to be cured. He is willing to subsidize the cost of the medicine, but he can't find the Eighteen Kings to help him. The angry Qian's family almost came to the door. Of course, just thinking about it, there is no need for Zhao Guan's family to stand up, and you know you can't defeat it.

The Qian family had deep roots in the ranks of officials and merchants in the Hangzhou area, as well as among the common people. When the Zhao family was stationed in Bagong Mountain, they donated most of their wealth as military expenses. This gave the small court in exile a big sigh of relief.

Otherwise, even though the Zhao Guan family respects the elderly and loves the young, they would not be able to tolerate her until today.

But I'm afraid I can only endure it until today.

No father can allow others to make irresponsible remarks about his precious daughter, especially a powerful father.

"Come here, summon Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Lu."
