Chapter 504: The decree asks for a female official
Yang Lin returned to the inner courtyard happily, and suddenly thought, how could he meet people like this?
With a red nose, it was hard to imagine whether he was going to play the role of a clown. He moved to the bronze mirror. Although he had become a lot lighter, it was still a bit unsightly.
Behind him, Zheng Yunyao saw him sighing in front of the mirror, covering his mouth and snickering. She walked quietly behind him, put her arms around Yang Lin's shoulders and shook him gently: "Officials who sigh often sometimes look at themselves in the mirror and pity themselves."
Because in the back house, Zheng Yunyao was dressed casually, wearing only a cardigan of the same color over a goose-yellow satin tube top. Yang Lin was sitting there, looking directly at the two hemispherical masses of snow in the mirror.
The rich and greasy meat makes my mouth feel dry.
Zheng Yunyao saw her husband's appearance in the mirror and twisted her waist proudly: "Does it look good?"
Yang Lin thought that it was good-looking, and he had already succeeded. He could play whatever he wanted, how could he compare to Little Concubine Liu. He coughed dryly and defended: "You don't understand me, so you don't know how depressed I am. Am I doing it for myself?"
I sigh for the people of Jingchu. The local government wrote bluntly that there is no snow in the middle of winter in Jingchu, and spring sowing is about to begin. The crops are short of water and there are many pests, and the people are suffering."
Zheng Yunyao reached out and hit him, and said angrily: "Just pretend."
Yang Lin laughed sheepishly, and then Jin'er's voice came from outside: "Young Master, Senior Officer Yang from the palace is here, saying that he has something urgent to see the Young Master."
When Yang Lin heard this, he screamed secretly. He agreed to go to the imperial palace to appease the officials and let him be a good emperor. How could he forget this...
He stood up in a hurry and said urgently: "Quickly, change into an official robe for me. Our official family is probably going to have to give up his job again."
In the flower hall, Yang Jian was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, circling around.
I looked towards the inner courtyard from time to time and finally saw Yang Lin running out while wearing his belt.
"Oh, brother, you are finally here, hurry up and take a look at the palace." Yang Jian clapped his hands and said, "Our official family is determined to get the Zen position."
The people of the old Zhao family really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. The emperor has only been emperor for half a year, why can't he think about how to get a Zen position.
The two people got into the carriage and ran all the way to the ban. The guards recognized Yang Jian's carriage, so no one stopped them.
After getting off the car, I walked into Yanfu Palace and heard Zhao Si's voice from afar.
Yang Lin straightened his clothes, entered the palace, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Lin, has seen the official family."
Zhao Si raised his head, with a hint of joy on his face, and said: "Yang Aiqing came just in time. You helped me get the throne. Now that I want the Zen throne, you should do it."
Yang Lin's face darkened, and he said seriously: "What did the officials say? Your throne is the one that everyone hopes for, and is supported by all the people in the world. I am just one of thousands of people."
"I was originally an idle prince. What merit did I have for the people? I was given the high position for no reason. I really feel uneasy." Zhao Si had two lines of tears on his face. When the emotion came to him, he burst into tears.
When Yang Lin saw that it was okay, he quickly waved his hand and signaled Eunuch Gong'e to retreat.
After the others left, Yang Lin stepped forward gently and asked: "Guan family, there are no outsiders in the palace at this time. Who is slandering you? Guan family, don't be afraid. I and Yang Daguan will swear allegiance to the official even to the death."
Family, I understand that those young people are not very capable of causing chaos."
Zhao Si looked around and said: "My love, please save me. The servants in this palace often talk behind their backs about the kindness of the old emperor brother. I have a weak virtue but a high position. I often dream of the emperor at night."
Brother, just say that you have been killed and scream for your life."
After hearing this, Yang Lin held Zhao Si's shoulders and said: "Don't worry about the official family. I will dismiss all the palace maids and let the Ministry of Rites select new people to join the palace. Your Majesty can also issue an order to go to surrounding countries to offer female officials.
As for the Emperor, he is practicing Taoism in the Duiyu Tower. If the officials feel uneasy, I can take His Majesty to visit him. As long as the Emperor nods, we can see him today."
Zhao Si's crying gradually became quieter and he hesitated to speak. Yang Lin thought to himself that you are really scared. You have no courage. You are just Zhao Ji. You are not the person like Zhao Kuangyin who replaced Zhao Ji. After Zhao Ji goes down, can you
What can he do? He has won the hearts of these palace maids and chamberlains. Do you think he is the most popular person in the world? The world has been suffering from this foolish king for a long time.
Yang Lin lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Guan, let me tell you something that will hurt your heart. If you take the Zen throne and the emperor returns to power, we will be all over. The one who takes our lives then will not be the ghost in the dream.
It’s Nanya’s swordsman.”
Zhao Si trembled with fright, stroked Yang Lin's hand, and said: "My beloved, please start as soon as possible to replace the imprisoned servants. Don't let me hear about the old palace affairs again."
"The officials can rest assured..."
After leaving Yanfu Hall in the Forbidden City, Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief, turned to Yang Jian and said, "I think we really need to start replacing the internal servants in the Forbidden City, otherwise the officials will always hear about the emperor and have to be afraid."
Yang Jian felt very contemptuous in his heart. The emperor was so timid. Even if he allowed you to take charge of the government, he was pinched by the civil servants in three to five days. You are not as good as your brother.
As the two of them walked, they discussed the newly selected palace maids. At this time, many people wanted to enter the palace. Many of the palace maids in the Song Dynasty came in through backdoor connections. After all, palace maids also have grades. The female officials in the Song Dynasty had grades.
Relatively high, the salary is also high. The eunuch rank is generally relatively low, but the salary is relatively good. According to regulations, eunuchs in the Song Dynasty can marry wives, take concubines, and organize family life.
Every few years, the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs recruits palace servants from the private sector. Those who are willing can sign up and enter the palace only after being selected. However, there are quotas for recruitment in the imperial palace, and it depends on the number of vacancies.
Eunuchs are also officials, not to mention that many eunuchs in the Song Dynasty have indeed become successful in recent years, and Liang Shicheng is one of the best. Therefore, those who are poor and cannot survive, or those who want to stand out, will be selected into the palace.
Changing your life comes with high hopes, and there is nothing that can stop you from going to the palace. However, the number of places in the palace is limited. Even if you are moved by the enthusiasm of the people for cutting birds, and adding more places, it will be a drop in the bucket.
Some of them had self-mutilated and were still unable to be selected into the palace, so they were eagerly waiting for a spot. Zhao Ji was a generous person in the prison, and his personality was full of charm. He was supported and loved by these chambermaids and maids, so he had to be replaced.
Otherwise, it is inevitable that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come forward and reverse the case for Zhao Ji in the future, which will be bad for him.
You know, Zhao Ji's life is tough enough. He can live for that long in Five Kingdoms City, let alone the delicious food and drinks at Duiyu Tower. He can't live until he is ten years old.
"Let Zhongshu Sheng issue an order to Korea, Japan, Tianzhu, and Bagan. Each country will send a hundred virgins to the palace to serve the officials."
Yang Jian nodded. In recent years, through the continuous efforts of his brother, the number of vassal states of the Song Dynasty has become fewer and fewer, and they have all been integrated into the country.
Yang Lin suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "Give it to the Khitan, Jiaozhi and Jurchen as well."
