Chapter 201 I will use the available ones among the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion
Chapter 201: I will reuse those who are available among the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion
Zhao Ji has decided that the official positions vacated by the begging, fleeing, and surrendering faction members who have been demoted or exiled must be filled by the loyal ministers of the main war faction that I know. Zhao Ji already has suitable candidates in mind.
List.
Zhao Ji, a time traveler who is a top student in the history department, certainly knows that in the second year of Baoqing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1226 AD), Song Lizong ordered the painter to paint portraits of the twenty-four heroes from the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and hung them in Zhaoxun Pavilion.
middle.
The twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion are:
Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai,
Pan Mei, Li Hang, Wang Dan, Li Jilong,
Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi,
Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan,
Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun,
Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Bi, Zhao Ruyu.
Although, the title of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion may not necessarily convince future generations.
For example, the famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun is missing, Wang Anshi who carried out the reform is missing, Li Gang who fought in the first defense battle of Tokyo is missing, Zongze, the Confucian general who stayed behind in Tokyo to resist the Jin Dynasty after the Jingkang Revolution, and Yue Fei who served the country loyally are missing
Waiting for those virtuous ministers and generals who can help the Song Dynasty to collapse.
However, those who can be included in the list of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion can be said to be loyal ministers and good generals who have made great contributions to the country and the country during the hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.
Of course, Zhao Ji also knows that the heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Hang, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, and Sima
Guang, Han Zhongyan,
These sixteen heroes are no longer alive.
Among them, the oldest deceased was Zhao Pu, the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty who passed away in 992 AD. Zhao Pu, the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, claimed to have read half of the Analects and ruled the world.
Among them, the latest to pass away in the second year of Xuanhe this year was Han Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who passed away in September 1109 AD. It has been eleven years since his death.
Among the remaining eight heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, there are Ge Bi, who will be born in eleven years, and Zhao Ruyu, who will be born in twenty years. Of course, Zhao Ji cannot use them now.
However, Shi Hao, who was born in the fifth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty (1106 AD), is only fourteen years old this year and cannot serve the country for the time being.
Chen Kangbo, who is twenty-three years old this year, is still studying. He will have to wait until next year in a few months, which is the third year of Xuanhe, when the triennial imperial examination is held. According to historical development, he will be admitted to the Jinshi Ranking.
, and then rose up in the official career...
I cannot reuse Chen Kangbo who is preparing for the imperial examination for the time being.
I want to provide a good environment for fair competition for scholars all over the world, and I am not in a hurry to use Chen Kangbo who is preparing for the imperial examination.
In his mind, Zhao Ji was sifting through the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion to see which ones were available now. The only ones left were Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun, who were already in officialdom and were still alive and well.
.
Han Shizhong performed extremely bravely in the battle against Fangla. He has been put into great use in the army by me, and I have given him the power to privately recruit soldiers and generals and train them strictly.
Among the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, in addition to Han Shizhong who has been promoted and reused, there are still three people who are alive and have become officials and can be reused immediately, namely Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Jun.
Lu Yihao is forty-one years old this year. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Shaosheng (1094) of Zhezong Dynasty of Song Dynasty. He first served as Mizhou Sihu and joined the army. Later, he was recommended by Li Qingchen as a professor in Binzhou. Now he is a transfer envoy to Hebei Capital.
Zhao Ji announced at the court meeting:
"Diaohe~Beidu transfer envoy Lu Yihao returned to Beijing and took over as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"
As soon as Zhao Ji said this, the officials were shocked. Especially the two ministers of the Ministry of official affairs. They originally thought that after Zhao Ye, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, was exiled to the distant Danzhou by Zhao Guan's family for his crime,
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been vacant, and the opportunity has come for me to change from deputy to official Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
However, they never expected that Zhao Guanjia actually recalled Lu Yihao to the capital and asked him to take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel...
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, transfer and other matters of officials across the country.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, as the highest official of the Ministry of Personnel, has great power.
Only when Zhao Ji puts Lu Yihao, one of the future twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, in this important position can he rest assured!
Zhao Ji knew that Lu Yihao was recorded in history books. He grew up in the northwest and was proficient in military affairs. In response to the imperial edict, he reported war and defense strategies, and his plans were quite complete. When Xuanhe conquered the Liao Dynasty, Lu Yihao reported the Five Critical Issues in Hebei and asked the Speaker to discuss it for a long time.
Ce, for a while he called this statement "cut and straight"...
General Guo Yaoshi, who had earlier rebelled against Liao and surrendered to Song, rebelled against Song again and surrendered to Jin in the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125 AD). Therefore, Guo Yaoshi, who served in three dynasties (equivalent to a domestic slave with three surnames), escorted Lu Yihao to Jin.
military.
Afterwards, Lu Yihao was taken captive to the Kingdom of Jin. He was unyielding and never surrendered to the golden chariot, showing his loyalty.
In the first month of the first year of Jingkang (1126), Lu Yihao was released by the Jin Kingdom and returned to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty...
Later, during the rebellion of Miao Liu and Liu Zhengyan, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was forced to abdicate. Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and other generals led the army to Qinwang, quelled the rebellion of Miao Liu and welcomed the restoration of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, which made great contributions.
Therefore, Lu Yihao was first worshiped as Shangshu Right Pushe, and then moved to Zuopushe again...
However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that even Lu Yihao, one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, was not a perfect person.
It is recorded in the history books: When Lu Yihao was prime minister, he was domineering and overbearing, and tried to exclude Li Gang, Li Guang and others; in order to meet military needs, he also created monthly stakes, which made the people in the southeast a heavy burden...
And Zhao Ji felt that it was okay for a loyal minister like Lu Yihao, who was not a perfect person, to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at the time of employment, but just don't let him become the prime minister in the future.
What's more, by re-employing Lu Yihao, I can also check and balance the possible monopoly power of Li Gang, who will be promoted to prime minister in the future.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Isn’t it the art of controlling people that the emperor plays by allowing his ministers to check and balance each other?
After Zhao Ji promoted Lu Yihao to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, seeing that no one in the civil and military officials dared to object, he issued another decree:
"I summon Zhao Ding, the magistrate of Anyi County in Jiezhou, to return to the capital and assume the position of Minister of Household Affairs."
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were shocked and looked suspicious...
They didn't dare to utter a word of rebuttal, just because they didn't dare to contradict the Zhao Guan family who had a huge change of heart and a completely different employment style.
However, all the ministers were secretly thinking: Why is Zhao Ding, a small county magistrate, so highly regarded by Zhao Guan's family? Being promoted from a small county magistrate to the acting minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is almost a step up to the sky!
Even many of the officials who attended the court meeting did not know that there was a county magistrate named Zhao Ding in Anyi County, Jiezhou!
However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that among the famous officials in the early Southern Song Dynasty recorded in history books, Zhao Ding's name was included.
Zhao Ding was not only one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, he was also known as the four officials of the Southern Song Dynasty together with Li Gang, Hu Quan and Li Guang.
This year (the second year of Xuanhe), Zhao Ding is thirty-five years old. He is from Yuan Town and Wenxi County, Jiezhou.
Zhao Ding lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother Fan. He studied poetry and books diligently since he was a child, and his writing was good and his writing was smooth and natural.
As early as fourteen years ago, Zhao Ding, who was only 21 years old, passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Chongning (1106 AD) and entered the official career...
Because Zhao Ding was an upright official and did not like to curry favor with the powerful, therefore, with the qualifications of being a Jinshi, he was only a small seventh-grade county magistrate in the fourteen years after he entered the official career.
However, Zhao Ji, who is familiar with the history of the two Song Dynasties, will never let his virtuous and loyal ministers be buried in my dynasty.
Of course, gold always shines.
The history books read by Zhao Ji record that after crossing to the south, Zhao Ding began to rise in his official career.
After crossing south, Zhao Ding was promoted to Quan (acting) Hubu Yuan Wai Lang.
In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty worshiped Zhao Ding as the imperial censor Zhongcheng. In the following year, he was appointed as a Privy Council member, and soon he was successively appointed as the prefect of Jiankang and the prefect of Hongzhou.
During the Shaoxing period, Zhao Ding served as prime minister twice, serving as Shangshu Zuopushe, Tongzhongshu Menxiapingzhangshi, and serving as Privy Council envoy.
Zhao Ding once recommended Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other well-known generals to effectively assist the Southern Song Dynasty court in organizing military forces to resist the Jin army's invasion southward.
When Zhao Ding was the prime minister, he praised Luo Xue, "valuing people's livelihood and restraining military commanders, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could consolidate its roots and stabilize the country." This consolidated the political power of the Southern Song Dynasty and enabled the rapid development of social economy in the Southern Song Dynasty. People's lives were prosperous and the government was clear and clear.
During this period when he was the prime minister, he was praised as "Xiao Yuanyou"...
Zhao Ding strongly opposed negotiating peace with Jin. Therefore, he was framed by the peacemaker Qin Hui and was forced to resign. He served as the prefect of Shaoxing and the prefect of Quanzhou. He was immediately exiled to the Xinghua Army, moved to Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, and then to Ji.
Yang Jun.
In the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), Zhao Ding was seriously framed by Qin Hui again...
Therefore, Zhao Ding went on a hunger strike to show his loyalty to Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, and to fight against the crimes framed by Qin Hui.
Before Zhao Ding died, he wrote an inscription on his tombstone:
"Returning to the sky riding on Jiwei, making mountains and rivers strong with strength..."
Zhao Ding used this to express that even after his death, he will never forget the Song Dynasty, let alone the great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty and saving the country!"
In August of the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), Zhao Ding died at the age of sixty-three after going on a hunger strike for several days.
After Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he posthumously awarded Zhao Ding the title of Grand Tutor, Feng Guogong, and the posthumous title of "Zhongjian".
In the fifteenth year of Chunxi (i.e. 1188 AD), Zhao Ding was allowed to enjoy the temple court of Emperor Gaozong.
Zhao Ding is also one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion.
Zhao Ji also remembered the "History of the Song Dynasty" that he had read before traveling through time, and what was recorded in it was:
"(Zhao) Ding is the famous prime minister of Nandu, and he is as famous as Li Gang. His poem "The Qing Dynasty just arrived, and it is an outstanding famous master"..."
Zhao Ji secretly thought: After I summoned Zhao Ding, the magistrate of Anyi County in Jiezhou (later Shanxi region), to return to Beijing and appointed him as the Minister of Household Affairs, after my observation and assessment,
If Zhao Ding's political ability is really consistent with what is recorded in history books,
So, if I promote Zhao Ding, who has the power to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and find an opportunity to promote him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, what is the difficulty?
As long as Zhao Ding's political ability is worthy of his reputation, even if I worship Zhao Ding as prime minister, it may be a matter of time.
In the Song Dynasty, the system of group prime ministers was implemented. Could it be that Zhao Ding, the famous prime minister of Nandu who was as famous as Li Gang, was missing?
At this time, Zhao Ji looked around the ministers in the hall. He could see the confusion on their faces. He probably didn't understand that Zhao Ding, the little magistrate of Anyi County, could be appreciated by me and promoted to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Power and Households at a rapid pace. job.
However, Zhao Ji did not explain anything to the ministers.
Just because I act, why do I need to explain?
Zhao Ji added: "Bai Shizhong, the former servant of Zhongshu, was demoted to Huangzhou as the deputy envoy of Tuanlian due to his crimes. The position of servant of Zhongshu is now vacant..."
Before Zhao Guanjia finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall had their eyes shining brightly and their ears pricked up, trying their best to hear clearly who Zhao Guanjia was going to announce to be promoted to the position of Minister of the Zhongshu Men. Who could it be?
Except for those whose official positions were higher than those of Zhongshu's servants, all the ministers were thinking about how great it would be if they were promoted to Zhongshu's servants by Zhao Guan's family!
As everyone knows: In the early Song Dynasty, the [Zhongshu Menxia] was set up in the palace. As the head of the central department and the highest authority for the prime ministers and deputy prime ministers to collectively handle political affairs, it was also called the Political Affairs Hall. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the chiefs under the Zhongshu Men were called [Zhongshu Menxia]. Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi]. In order to decentralize the power of the prime minister, [Participate in Political Affairs] was added as the deputy prime minister.
During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the official system of Yuanfeng was reformed, and the [Zhongshu Menxia] was abolished, and its functions and powers were divided into three provinces, Zhongshu and Shangshu. Under the sect, there is one minister each of Zhongshu, and one of Shangshu Zuo and Youcheng is the deputy prime minister.
However, after Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, the current Zhao Guan family, who likes to restore ancient times, reset the "Zhongshu Menxia", and its powers are still the same as those in the early Song Dynasty. "Zhongshu Menxia" is the central department of Chaoyang...
Bai Shizhong, the former minister of Zhongshu's family, was demoted for a crime. The vacant position of minister of Zhongshu's family was naturally an important position that many ministers were competing for.
However, when Zhao Ji said, 'The position of minister under Zhongshu's sect is now vacant,' he changed the subject and said:
"I will evaluate all my dear friends over a period of three months. Therefore, from now on, all my dear friends must be self-denial, serve the public, work diligently and love the people. I will naturally create outstanding ones from them, and the vacancies will be vacant in the succession of the guilty ministers.
The position of minister under Zhongshu’s sect.”
As soon as Zhao Ji's words came out, many ministers who wanted to be promoted to this position were very excited, thinking that from now on, they really can no longer live as officials and do nothing as before, and they were full of motivation...
All the ministers shouted in unison: "Your majesty is wise, long live our emperor. I must be self-denial, serve the public, work diligently and love the people..."
The time traveler Zhao Ji drew a big cake for the ministers.
Of course, this pie can really be obtained by those who are virtuous, talented, loyal to the emperor, patriotic, diligent and caring for the people, and who make a difference.
Zhao Ji heard the unanimous voices of the ministers expressing their determination to work in politics and serve as officials, and watched the changes in the expressions of the ministers. He knew that his ability to draw cakes was quite strong.
Of course, the main reason is that the position of minister under Zhongshu's sect is too tempting.
Zhao Jisuoxing continued to paint a pie for the ministers and said: "The important official positions that are vacant in the court are temporarily vacant and will be replaced by the deputy ministers. After three months, they will be evaluated again and the qualified ones will be used!"
The ministers' eyes shone again, and they swore in their hearts that at least during the three months that Zhao Guan's family would personally assess them, they must be honest and upright, work hard in their positions, and make outstanding political achievements. Not only can they retain their current official positions,
Maybe after being appreciated by the Zhao Guan family, who are now working hard to govern, they can be promoted to a high position and rise to a high position from then on...
The ministers vowed and shouted again:
"Your majesty is wise, long live our emperor. I and my ministers must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, self-denying and dedicated to the public, diligent in government and loving the people..."
After Zhao Ji saw the performance of the ministers, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled slightly.
In fact, Zhao Ji wanted to help a young civil servant to the vacant high position, but this person is only twenty-three years old this year, and is still too young to convince the public...
I can recall this young talent to the capital first, and give him the position of Zhongshu Sheren, who although his official rank is not high, but has good development prospects...
Zhongshusheren were civil servants who could draft edicts for the emperor, equivalent to senior secretaries of important departments in later generations.
This person is the young man who showed his prominence in the imperial examination with my third prince, Prince Yun Zhao Kai, two and a half years ago in the eighth year of Zhenghe (i.e. 1118 AD). Later, he was also ranked as Zhaoxun.
