Jiachen, the twelfth month of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
The imperial edict of the two palaces: the imperial examination place favors, can be based on the story of the four years of Zhiping, when the imperial edict was to name the Jinshi in various subjects, and the Ministry of officials gave the imperial edict of excellence; when the special imperial edict was to name the Jinshi, the Zhongshu gave the edict the best (Xining Reform, the Jinshi was dismissed and the imperial edict was given)
Excellent certificate system).
The imperial court invited Lang, and the Taifu Shaoqing Song Pengnian sent him to the prison on Jiangnan West Road.
Well, this is a fool.
Last month I was so brave that I actually wrote a letter to discuss the issue of military officers in charge of the three yamen, and also proposed setting up seven or eight military officers.
Then there is no more.
No matter how slow the two palaces are, it is impossible for the civil servants outside the Privy Council to interfere in the personnel affairs of the imperial army, especially the front office.
Therefore, Song Pengnian was fined copper and reprimanded.
He himself understood that he seemed to have touched something he shouldn't have touched, so he quickly asked the county to go out and avoid the limelight.
After learning about Guan Qi in Shaozhou, he finally reported a complete list of meritorious Ming people and local squires, a total of 332 people.
There are officials in the two palaces, who can reward people with favors, money, and silk as appropriate based on the story. Those who have an official position will be reduced or transferred to another official position.
At the same time, the newly attached leaders of various ministries were granted the rank of military senior officer on loan of the third class.
Today, I consecrate Wu Juhou, the senior official, to the Yanhe Hall.
Both palaces reprimanded him and warned him face to face: When you go to Luzhou, you should take Jingdongdu Road as a warning!
Zhao Xu was silent throughout the whole process and did not speak.
However, Wu Juhou still thanked him again and again, kowtowed and left.
In Wu Juhou's heart, he always felt that if the young master had not been in power, he would have been demoted to Lingnan even if he had not died.
Now, he can still go to Luzhou to serve as the magistrate.
This can only be the grace that the young master and the two palaces seek.
Otherwise, is it possible that the two palaces who have never met him and are full of hostility to the new law are still here?
…
After returning to Da Nei, Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang were still in Baoci Palace. After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, Zhao Xu left and returned to Funing Palace to rest.
As soon as Zhao Xu left, the Empress Dowager suddenly said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, didn't the Privy Council report last month that they had found Empress Zhaoxian's biological brother?"
He nodded to the Queen Mother.
Empress Zhaoxiandu was Taizu, the biological mother of Emperor Taizong, and the founder of the legendary Golden Chamber Alliance.
However, Du's maternal relations had already disappeared in Bianjing.
At least, since the beginning of the true temple, there has been no shadow of the Du family in Bianjing.
Until last month, the Du family surfaced again.
There are only three brothers left in the Du family.
Moreover, the official positions were reduced to low-level military ministers like Zuo Shijin and You Dianzhi, and the youngest brother was even a commoner.
They surfaced because the two elder brothers begged the court to share their military exploits with their younger brother in order to give him an official status.
It is impossible for such trivial matters to come to the imperial court and be resolved in the Ministry of Personnel or the Privy Council.
But as soon as their request was sent to Bianjing, the relevant officials checked their roles in the Ministry of Personnel according to the system. After finding out that they were relatives, they did not dare to neglect and sent them directly to the imperial court.
"A hundred years later, Empress Zhaoxian's relatives are already commoners..." The Empress Dowager sighed: "My Gao family and your Ru Xiang family, where will they be in a hundred years?"
Listening to the Queen Mother, she knew what the Queen Mother was going to say, so she bowed Yingying and said: "Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings..."
"What's more, in the old days, the king of Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. It was the law of heaven... that could not be stopped by force!"
The Empress Dowager said: "After all, you have to do your best to obey the destiny..."
Then he bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I am a concubine who only obeys your Majesty's will!"
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed. She helped her up and said to the Empress Dowager: "I am also planning for the long term!"
Gao family, Xiang Jing, it would be good to be richer and more prosperous for one day.
…
In the afternoon, after Zhao Xu woke up from his nap, he found that Queen Mother Xiang was already in front of his bed.
"Why is the Queen here?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.
"Mother, look at Sixth Brother..." Xiang smiled and said, "Sixth Brother seems to have gained some weight!"
After saying that, he reached out and touched Zhao Xu's face.
Xiao Guanjia's face is indeed much rounder than last month.
He was no longer the thin little prince who held her in his arms and cried helplessly begging for her protection in the Qingning Palace.
Now he is an official.
I have gained a lot of weight, my face is thicker, and my body is heavier.
"In another two years, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to hold my sixth brother!"
Zhao Xu gently snuggled into the Empress Dowager Xiang's arms and said, "No matter how much my son grows up, he will still be the son of the Empress Dowager..."
Empress Dowager Xiang's eyes turned red when she was moved: "The Queen Mother has six brothers, she is really blessed by the Bodhisattva!"
She turned to Shi Deyi, who was standing behind the curtain, and ordered: "Shi Deyi, go and show the officials the side reports and memorials from various places that were sent by the General Office today!"
"yes!"
After a while, Shi Deyi came in with a copy of the side reports and memorials transcribed by Tongjian Si.
The first memorial was from Kumamoto, the transfer envoy to the capital of Kyoto.
Kumamoto reported on the measures to be taken after taking office.
First, in response to the repeal of the Bao Jia Bao Ma Law, fine-tuning was made to raise the price for horse collection by private horse breeders.
For horses above four feet that can be used in battle, the purchase price will be increased to fifty thousand. For horses below four feet, the system will still be followed and the people will be ordered to do what they want.
In fact, the people were forced to sell war horses over four feet to the government at a price of fifty thousand, and then the government sent them to Hedong.
Zhao Xu knew that this must be Lu Huiqing's letter to Xiong Ben!
Lu Huiqing always knows how to do such things.
Then there is Jingdongdu Road, and other methods have been adjusted.
Question the Salt Law, question the Iron Law, they harm the people too much, so abolish them all!
Baofeng of Xuzhou went to supervise the money-casting place and begged to stop it, because the iron was brittle and difficult to cast.
But let's talk about the drinking method... Kumamoto said: The people in Jingdong are all happy, and if they beg to stay, they can earn millions of dollars every year...
Zhao Xu looked at these words, listened to the explanation to the Queen Mother, and nodded from time to time.
A memorial can be explained in about a quarter of an hour.
At the end of this memorial, Kumamoto impeached a person.
Xinzhi Zizhou Zhao Ziji Xiongben said that this person is already in his seventies and can't hear other people's words clearly, but he can still move to Zhizhou. It is really incomprehensible!
Zhao Xu watched and admired Xiong Ben's courage!
You know, when ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they will definitely ignore it if they can, so as not to offend others and sow trouble for their descendants.
How many years has passed since the story of Cai Que’s successful revenge?
Even Empress Dowager Xiang knew this story when she was in the palace.
So after explaining it to Zhao Xu, he said with emotion: "Xiong Ben is working hard for the country, regardless of his own safety!"
“But it’s not difficult to make Kumamoto do it!”
Therefore, Ming Shi De entered the writing and wrote to the Empress Dowager in front of Zhao Xu: Zhao Zi can be specially appointed as a palace and ancestral official. This means forcing him to become an official, but still giving him dignity.
Palace and ancestral officials have a certain salary.
It's no problem to feed a family.
It won’t lead to the emergence of a new Cai Que!
After reading Kumamoto’s memorial, this is the side report.
From Fuyan Road, Zhang Zhi, the Superintendent of the Military and Horses of Fuyan Road, wrote a remonstrance to impeach Lu Huiqing, a bachelor of Zizheng Palace, Hedong Economic Envoy, and an informant of Taiyuan Prefecture. He raised troops without authorization, mobilized troops and troops, and even overstepped his authority to command the soldiers and horses of Fuyan Road.
I have an unpredictable heart and ask the court to investigate strictly!
Looking at the Queen Mother, her face turned pale.
Her chest was panting violently, obviously she was angry.
That is to say, it was in front of Zhao Xu that he did not have an attack!
She took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Xu, and said, "Brother Six, remember..."
"In the future, Sixth Brother, if you encounter such memorials about military officials coming up to impeach important civil servants, don't read it, and don't ask about it!"
"Just send people to escort these domineering generals back to Bianjing for interrogation!"
Zhao Xu nodded and said obediently: "You know, it is the ancestral system to control martial arts with culture!"
Zhao Xu also sneered in his heart.
Of course he knew that Zhang Zhijian was the culprit for Lu Huiqing's demotion in his previous life.
He was also the person who succeeded in speculation in Yuanyou's early years.
With a military minister jumping back, a bachelor from the Zizheng Palace overturned!
He is famous all over the world!
But... this is the way to die!
How could Lu Huiqing let him go?
Therefore, in the first year of Shaosheng's reign, Lu Huiqing took up the post of Fu Yan Road as the governor and pacifier. As soon as he took office, he called Zhang Zhijian by name. Then, in the White Tiger Festival Hall, he found a random reason and used military law to confiscate and deliver Zhang Zhijian. Bianjing.
From top to bottom, no one cares about whether Zhang Zhijian was wronged?
Yushitai quickly closed the case and threw it away on Guangnan West Road.
This is the crushing advantage of civil servants over military ministers!
Now, this Zhang Zhijian is even more confused!
Don't even look at it, what is the origin of Queen Mother Xiang, one of the two palaces?
She is the daughter of a scholar-bureaucrat!
No matter how much I hate Lu Huiqing, I will still sit with the scholar-bureaucrats!
Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?
Today the military minister dared to impeach the bachelor of Zizhengdian and accused him of raising troops without authorization.
Tomorrow, will the generals be able to follow the example of the vassal towns of the late Tang Dynasty and not listen to the central government's orders and do their own thing?
You know, Lu Huiqing is a bachelor of Zizheng Palace!
He is a handsome minister who governs abroad, represents the emperor, sits at the border, and defends the territory!
Empress Dowager Xiang remembered at this time that the right minister Han Jiang, who is now in the court, went out to control Shaanxi as prime minister to preside over the Hengshan strategy. It was progressing smoothly, but the military officials were domineering and did not listen to orders, and even caused a mutiny, resulting in a failure. .
She is getting angrier!
This kind of thing must not set a precedent!
However, that Zhang Zhijian was also a remote county official and was not easy to deal with directly.
You also need to discuss with Bao Ci Palace before making a decision.
That's why she suppressed her anger and didn't explode on the spot.
However, the next side report completely ignited the Queen Mother Xiang's anger.
Bachelor of the Zizheng Palace, Hedong Economic Envoy, Lu Huiqing of the Taiyuan Prefecture reported: In accordance with the decree of the Two Palaces, His Majesty the Emperor in April, Wuzi, personally led the Hedong army to patrol the border. Fortunately, thanks to the guidance of the Two Palaces, His Majesty the Emperor understood Seeing thousands of miles away, the scouts found out that the thieves gathered a large army in the left wing of their pseudo-left wing and the heroic supervisor Si Mingtangchuan and other places...
The thief minister Yan Yanlu, with his troops and horses in charge, was in charge of Zhang Zhi's advice. He did not listen to the general's orders, harbored ulterior motives, and had treacherous plans to undermine the military and national affairs...
Today, I have found out that the army of Western thieves wants to take advantage of my new mourning and send troops to invade Jialu Village...
If they succeed, the loss of our frontier village will be a small matter, but His Majesty the Emperor's contempt for the barbarians will be a big deal!
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was wise enough to teach me military and national strategies early on. I appointed Zi Hu, the first general in Hedong, to take charge of the military affairs of Goulin Prefecture, Xing Zuochen and other generals, and sent troops to the surroundings of Jialuzhai... I personally supervised the troops, horses and archers of Fu Prefecture. is behind……
This will definitely prevent thieves from taking advantage of it!
However, the remonstrance of the thief minister Zhang Zhi was detrimental to the affairs of the military and the country... The original intention of the minister was to use the east of the river, Yan Yan's troops and horses, to advance from east to west, and to encircle the invading army of the western thief at the foot of Jialu Village...
Today, the opportunity to fight has been lost, and my liver and gallbladder are split apart... I feel pain not because of my small achievements, but because of His Majesty's sage insight, which knew the enemy's opportunity in advance! I feel pain for the exquisite arrangements made by the two palaces, who devoted all their efforts and efforts!
When Queen Mother Xiang saw this, she couldn't bear it anymore!
She can tolerate everything else!
Lu Huiqing was the only one who said: His Majesty the Emperor is wise and wise, and has taught his ministers military and national strategies long ago, which made her heartbroken!
The sixth brother has newly ascended the throne, and the young master is suspicious of the country, and the barbarians are scornful of him.
She was already worried about this!
Especially the Liao envoys will arrive in Bianjing soon!
If at this time, Hedong Lu Huiqing, under the command of Sixth Brother, would win a great victory!
The Liao people must be cautious and fearless, and do not dare to be arrogant and domineering.
Sixth Brother's authority can also be established in front of everyone in the world!
Everyone in the world will know that although the emperor is young, he has a keen military and military skills. He has long been aware of the plot of the Western bandits, secretly instructed Lu Huiqing of Hedong to arrange it, and taught the thieves a severe lesson.
but now……
Judging from the text of Lu Huiqing's report, don't think about this victory.
How can she not be angry?
"The traitor Zhang Zhijian!" Even in front of Zhao Xu, Queen Mother Xiang finally cursed: "I will kill you!"
So, he picked up Zhao Xu and said: "Sixth brother, let's go to Baoci Palace with the Queen Mother to complain to the Mother!"
"My son's stroke of genius, arranged by the Holy Ming!"
"Empty because of a thief who disobeys orders!!"
"If we don't kill this thief, the world will be in trouble!"
