In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 173 The emperor of the year really chose the right one

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang smiled and said, "It's good to go to see Mrs. Zhong with Rui, but you are an official now, and there are many maids and servants in the cold palace, so you must pay attention to your words and deeds."

She meant, don't humiliate Mrs. Zhong too much, she is also your nominal mother now.

"Yu Rui knows." Zhao Yurui walked out of the Hall of Compassion with a proud expression.

Empress Dowager Yang smiled and shook her head, Mrs. Zhong, do you still have today?
After leaving the main hall, Hu Song outside followed immediately.

"Go to Lenggong." Zhao Yurui said triumphantly, and said loudly as they walked, "Then Mrs. Zhong, didn't you enjoy scolding me last year? Hahaha, there is also today."

Hu Song looked around calmly, and not far away were the servants and maids of the Ciming Hall, who must have heard His Majesty's loud words.

He quickly followed Zhao Yurui, walked out of the courtyard and said, "Your Majesty, the servant Dong Songchen wants to join His Majesty."

Dong Songchen is a member of Murongying, an official in the Inner East Palace, and used to be Hu Song's boss.

During the palace change in August, Shi Miyuan and Yao Bichu killed many of Murongying's confidantes, but they didn't kill Dong Songchen.

Because Dong Songchen is quite active, he never offends Yao Bizhi, and he belongs to the kind of person who manipulates the source to please all parties.

Once this kind of person has something to do, he must be a fool.

He had been Hu Song's boss and treated Hu Song well, so Hu Song dared to say this in front of Zhao Yurui.

"I see." Zhao Yurui responded lightly.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yurui said again: "You use him first, but you can't trust him for important things."

"I understand." Hu Song nodded quickly.

Zhao Yurui glanced at him meaningfully: "You are different from Dong Songchen. Dong Songchen is a double-sided person. Today, if I gain power, he can stand by my side. If Zhao Mian gains power, he can stand firm. On Zhao Mian's side."

"Since ancient times, this kind of two-sided wall-riding faction will never end well."

Hu Song's heart trembled, and he nodded heavily: "The little one understands that everything about the little one is given by His Majesty, and he will only be loyal to His Majesty forever."

Zhao Yurui immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm not talking about you. Last time you ran out desperately to warn me and made great contributions to me. I treat you like a brother. What's more, you and I are a family."

Hu Song was moved, and his expression was a little moved. The emperor really treated him kindly. Not only was he directly promoted to Duzhi, but he also privately gave him [-] copper coins, a large amount of jewelry, and cotton silk. He also gave his mother an extra monthly subsidy. With his sister, it is equivalent to supplementing him in disguise. This is the treatment that no eunuch can enjoy in the palace of the Song Dynasty.

His mother gave birth to a son for the county magistrate last year. Hu Song is now a family member with the county magistrate, and of course he is also a family member with the emperor.

That's right, the former chief of security is now the county magistrate of Dinghai County in Qingyuan Prefecture.

Quan Baochang is a bought official, and he is not a Beijing official. He cannot know Dinghai County, so he is only a county magistrate.

Li Zongmian, the former magistrate of the county, is now the magistrate of Xiangshan County, and also the deputy envoy of the Eastern Zhejiang Coastal System Department.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at Yaohua Palace.

It was also the first time for Zhao Yurui to come to Lenggong of the Southern Song Dynasty, and she was dumbfounded when she saw the scene.

Yaohua Palace is said to be a palace, but it is actually a small courtyard surrounded by a few simple dilapidated houses. The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and is about half the height of a person.

When he came to the yard, he happened to see Huang Shang and Nuo'er pulling weeds in the yard.

This is probably the coldest palace with the worst conditions in the imperial palaces of all dynasties.

"Your Majesty, greet Your Majesty." Huang Chang and Nuo'er knelt down quickly when they saw the emperor coming.

Zhao Yurui was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where is Mrs. Zhong?"

The two turned their heads at the same time and looked at a dilapidated house.

Hu Song and Huang Chang stood outside, and Zhao Yurui walked over directly.

He had just come all the way from the harem, and he hardly saw any sergeants.

The people of the Imperial City Division only guarded the important entrances and exits of the harem, and after entering the harem, there were no sergeants to be seen.

There are a few servants and maids in the harem, and they rarely appear near the cold palace.

So there are only a few of them in Yaohua Palace.

I haven't seen Mrs. Zhong for more than a year. Mrs. Zhong has changed a lot. Her original radiant beauty is also a little dull.

She was wearing a plain white dress, sitting quietly in the room reading a book.

Seeing Zhao Yurui enter the room, she put down the book in her hand, and when she turned around, her face was peaceful, and she was not as surprised as before.

Zhao Yurui felt that she seemed to be a different person, or was this the real Mrs. Zhong?
Zhao Yurui stepped forward and called out respectfully: "And Rui pay my respects to Mrs. Zhong."

Mrs. Zhong looked at him with a half-smile, and asked after a while, "What's the difference from Rui being the emperor?"

"I'm so anxious."

"Oh, what's the hurry with Rui?"

"Some things I promised others, but I haven't been able to do it yet."

"What did Yu Rui promise to others?"

Mrs. Zhong didn't say what she wanted back then, but Zhao Yurui had already guessed it.

When the two of them said this, they didn't speak any more.

The house suddenly fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Zhong sighed, "Go out first, you can't stay here for long."

"I understand what you mean, but I also know that it doesn't matter what you say now."

"When you really have the final say, come to Yaohua Palace again."

Zhao Yurui had no choice but to turn around and go out.

He came to Yaohua Palace today, in fact, to express his heart, I am not the kind of person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges, if you help me, I will definitely repay you, but now, what I say doesn't count.

After walking out of the house, I saw Huang Chang.

Huang Chang was younger than him, and he also made a great contribution this time, saving Hu Song at the risk.

Afterwards, Yao Bizhi wanted to poison him to death, but Zhao Yurui dissuaded him.

"You two work hard, clean up the weeds here, clean it up, I don't want to see it so dilapidated."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two quickly knelt down again.

On the way back, Zhao Yurui felt a little irritable.

Although he became emperor this time, none of the civil servants around him could enter the capital. Shi Miyuan was very careful. Zhao Yurui's confidantes and civil servants in the Qingyuan Mansion were all important and promoted, but they were all still in the Qingyuan Mansion.

After entering Beijing, there was actually no one around Zhao Yurui to talk to and discuss with.

Among the military attaches, only Niu Bao was transferred to be the official of the imperial city, and the only military attache brought into Lin'an.

He now needs civil servants and generals who can be discussed in the capital.

But most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were from Shi Miyuan and Xia Zhen, so how to choose is a big problem.

After thinking about it, he could use Zhendexiu first, and in history, Lizong Zhao and Ju also reactivated Zhendexiu after they came to power.

When Zhen Dexiu learned about Quanzhou and was promoted to Quanzhou Shipping Department, he did some reforms, and he did quite well. Zhao and Rui's two Zhejiang Shipping Departments all learned from Zhen Dexiu.

Zhen Dexiu also impeached Zhao Yurui at the beginning, and using Zhendexiu can prove that Zhao Yurui's employment is selfless, regardless of past suspicions, and should be supported by some non-historical parties?
Zhao Yurui now urgently needs the support of some non-historical parties, because after Shi Miyuan abolished Zhao Mian and helped him take the throne, the North Korean Central African History Party dared not speak out, and privately did not agree with the new emperor.

If he defeats Shi Miyuan again, he will be full of enemies.

While thinking along the way, he came to the Donghuamen Palace on the north side of the imperial city. The main hall here is the Xuande Hall, where Niu Bao usually garrisons.

During Xiaozong's reign, this was the emperor's main activity hall. When Ningzong was here, the main activity hall was changed to Chuigong Hall.

Everyone is usually like this, and the emperor changes places every generation.

So after arriving in Zhao Yurui, the main office and the place where ministers were summoned were also changed to Xuande Hall.

He was not an emperor before, and he could carry Niu Bao around all day long, but now that he is going to the harem, it is not suitable for him to take Niu Bao with him, so he can only let Niu Bao be stationed in the Xuande Hall.

Yao Dingzhang was still at the gate of the main hall. Seeing the emperor's return, Yao Dingzhang trotted over immediately, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The prime minister asked to see His Majesty, and said that he has something important to announce."

"Quickly declare." Zhao Yurui said immediately.

But when he entered Xuande Hall, Shi Miyuan was already waiting in the hall.

It is really a powerful minister, Zhao Yurui was secretly dissatisfied, the emperor was not there, Shi Miyuan went straight into the imperial city, and was still sitting in the inner hall, it would be disrespectful to let him go to any court, but now he dare not show any dissatisfaction, Shi Miyuan may be testing him.

"The prime minister is here." Zhao Yurui smiled all over his face, and when he saw Shi Miyuan, his face was full of smiles.

Shi Miyuan stepped forward and wanted to kneel down: "I greet Your Majesty."

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be too polite." Zhao Yurui took the lead and helped him up again.

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but think of how they looked when they first met, and smiled at each other.

Shi Miyuan felt that there seemed to be no difference between Zhao Yurui and his two-year journey to Beijing, except that they had grown taller.

"Come here, give me a seat." Zhao Yurui shouted immediately without waiting for Shi Miyuan to speak.

Hu Song immediately ran over and moved a stool.

Shi Miyuan smiled openly, this was when Ningzong did not treat him well, and he was not polite, he sat down on the emperor's head.

After sitting down, Shi Miyuan said, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, Duke Xu Ding, has arrived in Lin'an and wants to see His Majesty.

It also said that Shi Miyuan himself had met Xu Ding first, what Xu Ding meant was that he wanted to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, open mutual business, and fight against Mongolia together.

Both Zhao and Rui didn't ask Shi Miyuan's opinion, and they had an absent-minded expression: "The prime minister can handle this kind of matter, and Rui and Rui want to leave the palace this afternoon."

"Your Majesty is leaving the palace?" Shi Miyuan was stunned.

"Yu Rui wants to go to the poker room and the sugar shop to see how the business is going."

"..." Shi Miyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought for a while, and said deliberately: "Your Majesty already owns the world, so you should focus on military affairs."

"I don't have enough experience with Rui, and I have to rely on the prime minister, the queen mother, and all the ministers for military affairs."

"To be honest, prime minister, don't laugh at Yu Rui, I'm really not used to staying in the imperial city every day, and Yu Rui still likes to run around."

"..." Shi Miyuan forced a smirk on his face, and his eyes almost narrowed into a line.

Then Shi Miyuan pretended to persuade a few more words, Zhao Yurui insisted on going out of the palace, and even wanted to change the court every five days to one court every ten days.

Shi Miyuan was a little startled and reminded him to take it easy.

Said that your new emperor has just ascended the throne, so you can't do this, next year or the year after, you can change it to go to court every ten days, Shi Miyuan even thought, then you can go to court once a month if you want, and the veteran will satisfy you.

Only then did Zhao Yurui express his satisfaction.

When the two talked about this, Shi Miyuan was quite relieved of the new emperor Zhao Yurui, and felt even more in his heart that he had chosen Zhao Yurui back then, and it was really the right choice.
