Zhao Xin didn't wait too long when she heard a burst of noise coming from outside. "Your Majesty is welcome..."
"Welcome to the official family..."
The sounds of greeting came one after another, from far to near.
In just a moment, the sound of footsteps outside the hall sounded in my ears.
With a creak, the palace door was pushed open.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace immediately turned around and knelt down: "Welcome to the official family..."
Zhao Xin heard the sound, raised his head, and looked outside the bead curtain with excitement.
Under the light of an oil lamp, a middle-aged man wearing a Chu robe and a turban came into view.
He was about thirty, with a haggard look, but bright eyes and a long beard. He looked amiable, like the uncle next door, and had almost no aggression.
Zhao Xin's eyes suddenly became moist as she looked at this man.
"Father..." He hesitated, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help shouting in a low voice.
The person who came was none other than his father, Zhao Zhen, who was an official of the Song Dynasty. His latest official title was: Emperor Titianfadao Qinwencongwushengshenxiaode.
That’s a long title, isn’t it?
But in the Tang and Song Dynasties, this title was relatively short.
The title given to the late Emperor Zhenzong by his ministers during his lifetime was as long as twenty characters. It was like a tongue twister, and just looking at it gave people a headache.
"Erlang..." Zhao Zhen rushed to Zhao Xin's bed with a quick step. He looked excitedly at Zhao Xin who was sitting behind the bead curtain, and immediately asked Xu Xi who was in front of the bed: "Xu Hanlin, Shou Guo
How is your father?" His voice was slightly distorted by excitement.
No wonder he is.
After all, there are three ways to be unfilial and the worst is not having children! This is something that all the old farmers in the countryside know!
And this official has been established for many years, and he has only one son who can inherit the great power, inherit the country, and pass on the incense. Of course, he regards it as more precious and cherishes it than anything else.
"Everything is fine with the Duke..." Xu Xi replied cautiously: "I just checked the Duke's pulse and found that his pulse was stable, his breathing was normal and his face was rosy..."
"Congratulations to the official family! Congratulations to the world!" Xu Xi bowed his head in congratulations.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt as if a big stone had dropped from his heart, and said with great joy: "Reward! Reward!"
"Xu Xi, the Hanlin medical officer, has served the Duke of Shou for meritorious service. In addition to the Hanlin medical officer envoy, he will be given Fei uniform! The rest of the palace will each receive a reward!"
When everyone in the palace heard this, they all looked happy and kowtowed quickly to thank him.
Xu Xi was even more delighted!
Hanlin Medical Officer, this is the mission that all imperial doctors dream of, and it is also the pinnacle of officialdom for the imperial physicians of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen had already focused his attention on the small figure sitting behind the bead curtain.
"Erlang..." He called his nickname softly.
"Aye..." Suddenly, a childish figure emerged from behind the bead curtain. The little person opened his arms and broke into his arms: "Aye... Aye..."
The tender milky voice reached my ears, and I felt the warmth of a small body in my arms.
The official then burst into tears, hugged his beloved son, and said softly: "Hey! I'm here! I'm here..."
For him, as long as his beloved son is still there, everything is worth it.
Everyone watched this scene quietly, and no one made a sound to disturb them.
Zhao Xin also clung to her father's arms, feeling the warmth and tranquility of this moment.
In his previous life, the person he felt most sorry for was this man, the father of his body.
Thinking back to his previous life, his father's earnest teachings, all the things he taught in person, as well as all the pampering and care, he burst into tears unsatisfied.
In his later years, his father, like him, became a machine and puppet of the civil servants.
So much so that Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others were able to overtake their servants and administer the government on their behalf.
However, at that time, he was still immersed in the dream of having the world bow to him when he became king, and he was immersed in the so-called "people's pig" dream jointly woven by civil servants and later generations of public intellectuals.
It was not until his later years, when he looked back on the past, that he realized that his father had already reminded him countless times.
But he misunderstood his father's hints every time.
So that I ended up in that situation, so I had to pay for my naivety myself.
Now that he came back, Zhao Xin hugged his father tightly and swore in his heart: "Father, in this life, I will never let you down again!"
"I will be Yao and Shun!"
Yao and Shun who held the Constitution of Heaven in their mouths!
Yao and Shun decided the affairs of the world with one word!
Within the four seas and the six heavens, all the gods, birds, beasts, humans and gods, all worshiped Yao and Shun!
But this short-term peace could not last long.
"Officials..." An old minister wearing a Five Liang Jinxian crown and a purple gold robe bowed closer and reminded in a low voice: "You should ask Duke Shou..."
Zhao Xin listened and glanced at the veteran.
He was an old man with kind eyes and a harmless look.
About sixty years old, he has the most common long beard of the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty. The beard is slightly white. Like most scholar-officials, he has a rich face and a big belly, but he is energetic and seems to be full of energy. However, he always seems to be used to squinting.
He closed his eyes so that Zhao Xin could not see his eyes at all.
Zhao Xin noticed that there were three small cicadas made of gold hanging on the left and right sides of the Wuliang Jinxian crown he wore on his head.
In the Song Dynasty, this was a symbol of the prime minister.
Only prime ministers and envoys can add this kind of ornament called cage scarf and Diao Chan on the Wuliang Jinxian crown.
However, the current head of the Privy Council, Zhang Dexiang, did not join Tong Zhongshu's family Ping Zhangshi.
Therefore, Zhang Dexiang cannot use the cage scarf Diao Chan.
Therefore, the identity of this old man is almost revealed.
"Shen Guogong Lu Yijian!" Zhao Xin recited the name secretly, and the written description and resume of Lu Yijian appeared in his mind.
Lu Yijian, named Tanfu, was born in Shouzhou, Huaixi Road. He was born in the third year of Emperor Taizong's Taiping Xingguo reign (978 AD). His father was Lu Mengheng, the former Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple. His uncle was the prime minister of Emperor Taizong, the prince's grand master, Xu Guogong, and Zhongshu.
Order Lu Mengzheng.
Lu Yijian passed the Jinshi title in the third year of Xianping of Zhenzong, and was promoted to Jiangzhou official. Later he learned about Binzhou and became a civil official.
It was when he took office in Binzhou that Lu Yijian became famous and was promoted like a rocket to be a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, and a member of the Imperial Censor.
He also performed well when he was on a mission to the Liao Kingdom and was promoted to Zhizhigao.
In his later years, Zhenzong moved from Zhi Zhi Gao to the Minister of Justice, Quan Zhi, of Kaifeng Prefecture. In the Song Dynasty, officials of Zhi Kaifeng Prefecture were always treated as prime ministers. Basically, as long as they did not die in the middle, they would definitely become prime ministers!
Sure enough, in the third year of Qianxing's reign, Zhenzong died, a new king came to the throne, and the Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain.
Seven years later, Lu Yijian became a bachelor from Longtuge. When he was appointed to Kaifeng Prefecture, he became a bachelor of Jixian Palace. He was appointed as Pingzhangshi under Zhongshu's family and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty!
In August of that year, a bachelor of the Zhaowen School was added as the prime minister!
Before that, Lu Yijian had served as a direct bachelor of Longtuge and his companion. Under the instruction of Zhao Xin's father, Zhao Zhen's teacher Li Di, he had been accompanying Zhao Zhen and escorting him for a long time.
Since the seventh year of Tiansheng's appointment as prime minister, Lu Yijian has been the prime minister for nine years for eleven years.
He only gave up his prime ministership briefly in the second year of Mingdao and the fourth year of Jingyou.
Thinking about these things recorded in his previous life, Zhao Xin looked at Lu Yijian's expression and became calm.
Because he knew that Lu Yijian was an absolute imperialist.
With him and his father, he is a grasshopper on a rope.
As long as the major issues are maintained, Lu Yijian will definitely turn a blind eye to small matters, and even help to make noise.
only……
Zhao Xin, who had been an official for more than thirty years in his previous life, knew it very well.
In the Great Song Dynasty, if there was an imperial party, there would inevitably be dissidents.
Just like there are reformists, there must be conservatives standing in the way.
This is the ancestral family law, which is called: small and large are controlled by each other, and different opinions are mixed.
Since the prime minister is an imperialist, it is obvious who the other head of the two governments is who knows the rules of the Privy Council!
