When Zhao Xin woke up, he found a female official standing in front of his bed. She was about twenty years old and looked quite decent. When he looked up carefully, he recognized her.
It was Miao Feng, the daughter of his mother's side, Tong Shi. The so-called Tong Shi was a female official in the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty.
The poem goes: The quiet girl is promiscuous, and I am troubled by the trouble.
Therefore, starting from the Tang Dynasty, the imperial concubines and concubines were all appointed as officials of Tongshi to take charge of their affairs.
To put it simply, it is to arrange a close best friend for the lonely concubine in the palace.
Generally, good housewives are chosen to serve, and there is also a rank. Tong Shi is a seventh-rank official. Just like the civil servants in foreign dynasties, she has a salary, a title, and even a chance for promotion!
The female officials of the Imperial City can reach the highest level of the fifth rank, and can be appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Education.
If you can achieve this position, that would be incredible.
The power of a female official at this level may not be much worse than that of a consul.
I think back then, when the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu was in power, the people around her who knew things well and advised the palace affairs department, the Shao family, were very majestic.
And the Miao Tongshi in front of Zhao Xin now was the personal maid that Zhao Xin's mother brought in when she entered the palace.
If Zhao Xin remembers it correctly, next year, Miao Tongshi will get married. Since she is close to the Duke's biological mother, she will marry well, and her husband is a commander in the front department of the palace.
When she got married, Zhao Xin's biological mother gave her a lot of dowry.
Later, after giving birth to a child, Miao Tongshi returned to the palace and continued to serve Zhao Xin's mother until her death.
Overall, the life of this female official was almost the same as that of Zhao Xin's mother.
If you are a wife, you should be submissive, and if you are a minister, you should be submissive in everything. Even if you are old and occupy a high position, you should be cautious.
In the end, he was free from illness and disaster, and died in good health.
"Bless the Duke..." When Miao Feng saw Zhao Xin waking up, she immediately came forward to pay homage: "The talent heard that the Duke is very kind, and specially ordered my concubine to come and visit the Duke..."
Zhao Xin looked at her for a long time and finally asked: "How is mother?"
"Cairen recently caught a cold, so he couldn't come to visit the Duke in time. He felt guilty, so he ordered my concubine to apologize to the Duke..." Miao Feng bowed again and said.
Zhao Xin moved his lips, but did not speak after all.
That's what his biological mother was like.
Timid, fearful, cautious, obedient.
I have never been willing to fight for anything, nor have I dared to fight for anything.
Therefore, in Zhao Xin's previous life, even though she was the emperor's biological mother, she had almost no sense of presence in the imperial city and Bianjing City.
However, Miao Feng was trembling with fear. After Duke Shou woke up, everyone in the palace said that the Duke had received the blessing of his ancestors, gained wisdom, and had the appearance of a holy king in his childhood.
Many people came to Baoqing Hall to congratulate her and her mistress.
However, she and her master were trembling with fear.
because……
Although they were born in humble circumstances, they were not ignorant of palace affairs.
Even before entering the palace, Miao Feng and her young lady had already heard and heard many secrets in the palace.
Therefore, after entering the palace, I was cautious, lest I make any mistakes and bring disaster to my family.
Now that the Duke is so wise and powerful, although Miao Feng and his young lady are happy in their hearts, they are far more afraid and fearful than happy.
no way!
Concubine Li Chen's lesson is right in front of her. How could their master and servant dare to have the slightest thought of overstepping their bounds?
Back then, Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu made it clear - Concubine Chen? Where is the Concubine Chen? Wasn't the person who died just a broken palace maid?
If you die, you will die, why bother me?
Cuo Fei, the prime minister at the time, Lu Yijian, argued hard and won the posthumous honors and treatment of the current official's biological mother.
I'm afraid that this official lady who gave birth to an official family may not even have a funeral after her death.
Maybe no one even knows where it is buried.
Therefore, last night, when the government sent Zhang Weiji to inform their master and servants, Miao Feng and her young lady were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried all night.
Do they have the guts to move into Chunfang?
Is it because the queen's sword is not fast?
Or is Zhang Cairen's pillow style not sharp enough?
Naturally, the Miao Cai people immediately fell ill, and their illness was quite serious.
So, I immediately went to the table and shied away from coming to Chunfang.
But how could Miao Feng dare to say these things in front of Zhao Xin?
Naturally, he could only bow his head and worship again: "Since I saw that the holy body of the Duke is in good health, I will go back and ask the Duke to take care of the holy body!"
Zhao Xin sighed and shook his head in his heart.
His mother and uncles all have the same temperament.
Timid, afraid of things, cautious in everything, walking on thin ice.
The contrast with other relatives and uncles of the Song Dynasty was so sharp that Zhao Xin even complained about it. In his previous life, he had scolded several uncles for this - you can be more courageous.
It's a pity that the uncles were all frightened. They knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise their heads. They just kowtowed and apologized, saying, "I am waiting for my sin in the palace. I have been favored by the officials, promoted to officials, and given wealth and honor. How can I dare to do so?"
Looking for others?'.
Therefore, as early as in her previous life, Zhao Xin had been extremely disappointed with her maternal family.
It is impossible for them to help themselves in any way.
Of course, his uncles would not harm him in any way.
Eating and waiting to die is the Miao family's greatest hope and hope.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said: "Envoy Xu Yuan, send Miao Tong's history for the orphan!"
After thinking about it, Zhao Xin added: "Aren't there some pieces of brocade in Chunfang? The envoy of the hospital went to get it and gave it to Tong Shi. He asked Tong Shi to take it and make some clothes!"
Therefore, Miao Feng thanked him profusely.
After seeing Miao Feng off, Zhao Xin was ready to get up.
At this time, an official wearing scarlet clothes and a fish bag on his waist walked quickly with quick hands and eyes. He came to Zhao Xin's bed, knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I have been ordered to serve the Duke of the State Yongnian. From now on, the Duke of the State will have
Whatever the mission is, please feel free to give it!"
When Zhao Xin heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the official carefully.
I found that he had a beard, he was about 20 years old, fair-skinned, and he should be a civil servant.
"Where is Yang Huaimin?" Zhao Xin asked suspiciously.
"Reporting to the Duke, Yang Congfeng has returned to the Imperial City Division..." The official named Yongnian bowed and said, "The official family and Duke Shen specially arranged for ministers to serve and take care of the Duke. I am not talented. I am willing to die for the country."
I just hope that the Duke of the country will not despise the humble and humble body of a humble minister!"
Zhao Xin listened and almost understood in her heart. It should be the fermentation of yesterday's incident.
Therefore, Yang Huaimin was transferred, his mother sent someone to see him, and this serious civil servant came to the palace.
only……
Civil servants entering the palace?
Is this Yongnian famous?
Why haven’t I heard of it in my previous life?
It should be noted that the civil servants who can enter the prison and serve as the prince's attendants must be people with extremely high literary names.
so……
"Which family do you belong to?" Zhao Xin asked softly.
"My father was not abandoned by the officials and was rewarded as a proud Duke..." Yongnian paid his respects.
Zhao Xin immediately thought of it and said with a smile: "Liu Yongnian, one pillar holding the sky?"
After hearing this, the latter was in awe, and bowed again full of awe and admiration: "The Duke of the country is a sage, and the minister is sincere and fearful when he is punished by sin!"
In Liu Yongnian's view, the Duke in front of him perfectly matched the deeds of the Holy King that he knew from books and legends.
Cuteness is used to understand the far-reaching, and understanding is used to detect the subtle. This sentence seems to be tailor-made for the Duke of the country.
Therefore, he swore in his heart that even if he died, he would not allow anyone or anything to endanger or harm the young Holy King.
