Zhao Xu was sitting on a special small mattress, looking at his two relatives crawling in the hall.
They are all acquaintances from previous lives!
During the reign of Xiang Zonghui and Yuanyou, he began to serve as an official and was quite good at local management.
After Zhao Xu took office, he was promoted to the position of magistrate of Caizhou - this was actually used to bribe Empress Dowager Xiang to stop her from messing around in the palace.
Who knew that Xiang Zonghui actually did a good job!
As for Gao Gongji...
During the Shaosheng era, people who cut off their tails to survive, sold Gao Shichong, Wang Gui and Xing Shu.
If it weren't for Gao Gongji and Gao Gonghui's brothers who made the first report, Zhao Xu would still not be able to find out many things.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xu has a good understanding of the characters of these two people.
"Please get up, two relatives of the country!" Zhao Xu ordered softly: "Feng Jing, give a seat to the two relatives of the country!"
"Your Majesty is so kind to me, I will deeply appreciate it!"
Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji hurriedly bowed again, and then they dared to sit on the chairs brought by Feng Jing.
"Are the two ladies in good health?" Zhao Xu asked after they sat down.
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness. Your Majesty, your Majesty, has always been happy at home. Recently, I heard that Your Majesty is coming to visit the great treasure. So she often teaches us descendants of the Gao family: The official family has newly ascended the throne. As a relative of the country, I, the Gao family, should set an example. You should study hard at home and don't cause trouble outside!" Gao Gongji answered first.
Xiang Zonghui also replied: "Thanks to your majesty for your kindness, our ancestors are at home, only eating vegetarian food and chanting sutras, and often teaching us Xiang family descendants: As relatives of the emperor, you are the official arm, have few talents and limited knowledge, and cannot help the official family to bring peace to the world, so just You should live a good life at home and cultivate your character. If anyone dares to cause trouble outside and violate the laws of the country, even if the emperor is merciful, I will not forgive him according to the laws of the family!"
Zhao Xu nodded: "The two ladies understand the righteousness well. It is a great blessing for the country to have such virtuous ladies!"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui both stood up quickly and bowed again.
Then, the two of them each took out a written list of words from their sleeves, respectfully presented it in their hands, and then bowed: "Your Majesty, out of pure filial piety, uses your most holy deeds to show favor to your ministers..."
"I am so frightened that I really don't dare to accept this grace. I hope your majesty will take back my order!"
After saying that, he prostrate himself deeply to the ground.
When Zhao Xu saw it, he winked at Feng Jing and asked Feng Jing to collect the speech form.
Then he put it directly in front of the case without looking at it and said: "You two dear friends, please don't refuse. This is my filial piety to my great mother and my mother's wishes!"
Under Confucian values, the flow of three words and three orders, which is a virtual response to the story, should be followed.
Gao Gongji, Xiang Zong returned to pay homage again: "I and others are frightened!"
I won't mention it anymore. As long as they express their attitude, the next thing will be handled by the company.
"My two dear friends, do you have any official duties?" Zhao Xu asked again.
Xiang Zong replied: "I reported to the official family that I am favored by Emperor Daxing. I was once promoted to a minister and served as a judge of the group of animal husbandry. Recently, I have been idle at home..."
Zhao Xu nodded.
Qunmusi, before the Xining Reform, was a place specially used in the Song Dynasty to house foreign relatives and noble officials.
Why?
More oil and water, less things to do!
There is a saying: the group of herds eats dung, and the third group eats the favour.
This is not a derogatory term, but envy!
The Department of Animal Husbandry, who is responsible for raising horses, fills the small treasury of the Yamen every year just by selling bricks of dung.
What's more, the Animal Husbandry Department originally had a lot of funds and allocations, so the officials were very happy to help them.
In the past, even a low-ranking official from the ninth rank of Qunmu could live in Bianjing City from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Every meal is meaty and every meal is delicious!
After the Xining Reform, this situation became more prominent.
Because the implementation of the Horse Protection Law has allowed the Department of Animal Husbandry to extend its hands into local civil affairs.
Yuanfeng's restructuring, the dismissal of the pastoral ministers and officials, and the transfer of powers to Taipu Temple did not prevent the spread of this situation.
In short, in the Song Dynasty, if someone said that he was an official in Qunmusi (Taipu Temple), he must be very rich.
If you hang out with him, you will never go hungry!
"Where is Gao Aiqing?" Zhao Xu looked at Gao Gongji again.
The latter immediately paid his respects and said: "I was registered by the official family. Because of my father's influence, I was appointed as the only marquis of the same family by Emperor Daxing. However, I like to study, and I have failed to live up to the love of Emperor Daxing..."
The title of "Hemen Zhihou" and "Hemen Tongshi Shiren" are among the ranks of military ministers, and they have always been considered to be noble and important positions of beautiful officials.
Therefore, it is often used as a consolation prize for relatives and clan members.
Because if there is no actual assignment, this is just an honorary title.
But once you are given actual assignments, it will be terrible.
Because Hemen Zhihou is a seventh-grade imperial guard and military official who is sent to local prefectures and counties, and can at least serve as the commander of the army and horses along the way.
With a little merit, you can directly skip the rank of ambassador and jump to the rank of horizontal rank.
This is a real job, not a fake job like those in the clan who just sit at home and work hard.
Therefore, if the relatives of the Song Dynasty want to become high-ranking officials, it is more than a hundred times easier than others!
Gao Zunyu had successfully captured Lingzhou City if he had not stopped Liu Changzuo.
Now, I am afraid that he has long been appointed as the official Jiedushi.
After death, the king of a big country cannot escape.
"That's it..." Zhao Xu pretended to think for a moment, then turned his head and looked behind the curtain behind him.
There sat Queen Mother Xiang, who had accompanied him here.
"Queen mother, I want to give the two compatriots a beautiful official..."
"I wonder if I can ask the ministers of the capital to bring Tang Bo to the front of the palace?"
Zhao Xu spoke softly, but his heart was already beating loudly.
The power of the emperor lies in life and death!
Only the gift of a piece of white linen paper can allow a minister to enter the three provinces and two governments. The emperor is called the emperor.
As long as an imperial edict is sent, a senior minister thousands of miles away can be demoted to a remote military state. The emperor is the emperor.
As long as a golden talisman is sent to the edge, a general can obediently hand over his military power. The emperor will be the emperor who follows the emperor's envoy back to Beijing to plead guilty.
But he is too young, and no ministers believe that he can handle state affairs well.
Moreover, physical limitations also forced him to temporarily cooperate with the two palaces.
Let the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang handle most of the state affairs on his behalf.
This will allow his currently thin body and brain to get enough rest and development time.
However, as the emperor, Zhao Xu was always looking for every possible opportunity to contaminate and grasp power.
Personnel rights are the most critical thing among them.
He needs to prove that he understands this matter.
Today's opportunity is the best opportunity.
As soon as Zhao Xu's words came out, the brains of Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji in the small hall shut down at this moment.
Mother?
The Queen Mother is here?
American official?
The officials want to confer official positions on us?!
They swallowed, and their hearts jumped.
Tang Bo?!
Officials are serious!
The two took a deep breath.
Who doesn’t want to be an official, a high official, a noble and beautiful official?
For a moment, the two royal relatives felt their mouths were dry and their throats seemed to be smoking.
This chapter took a long time to write and revise!
Well, there will be more later. Unless something unexpected happens in the future, it should be updated three times a day!
