Chapter 28
Zhao Jiu specially summoned Liang Su not because he was still worried about Shi Gao's affairs, but to confirm his position. After all, Han Shizhong had gone too far near Yanjing last time, and it was urgent to get those uneasy Yanyun Han'er back. , Liang Su, who was born in Hebei and had a good reputation as an official for many years, is very suitable for this job, provided that he understands what is righteousness and what is small kindness.

Now it seems that the problem should not be big. As for Wang Sheng, leave it to Han Shizhong to take care of him. He doesn't have the skills of King Han Qin and has only learned his bullying methods. Who will give you face?Even for Han Shizhong, it was because Xin Xingzong took his credit, which was an act of revenge after becoming rich.What do you, Wang Sheng, mean to you, do you only dare to bare your teeth at the weak?

September is the best season in Tokyo, with smooth wind and pleasant weather.Sitting in the water pavilion of Yujin Garden, Zhao Jiu looked at the busy palace people from a distance, feeling relaxed for a rare moment.

Yujin Garden is located in the southwest of Ouchi, also known as Nanyu Garden. It was built during the Xiande period of the later Zhou Dynasty. Outside Nanxun Gate, there is a square pond in the garden with an island in the pond, trees beside the pond, and beautiful flowers and trees in the river.Although it is not as beautiful as the Alpang Palace in the Qin Dynasty, it can be regarded as a fairy island with green hills.There are hundreds of pavilions and pavilions, among the forests and the waterside.Rare fruits are offered in summer, and rare flowers are in spring. It is the time of Mengqiu, but it is also yellow and green alternately, and the sweet osmanthus is fragrant. It is no better than that in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, under the painstaking management of Emperor Taishang Daojun for more than 20 years, the number of royal buildings in Tokyo increased rapidly, and the garden gradually declined. It was only used to raise rare and rare animals. As a result, it was a blessing and a misfortune that the Jin army besieged the city. Although they were robbed of some extravagant money, they did not cause any damage.During the Jianyan period, the officials spent all their time developing various royal buildings, playing games, playing lottery, and even building houses for the heroes, but they actually missed it.

Of course, this may be because no one dared to pay tribute to Emperor Jianyan for fear that he would fill the fishpond.

Zhao Jiu turned his head and looked at the painting table not far away. Ma Xingzu was fearfully instructing Princess Shouchun Shenyou to paint, while Princess Foyou of Nanyang was grinding her sister on the side and comforting her in a low voice. The deer princess Yiyou was fishing, but couldn't sit still and went to play ball again. For a moment, she really felt like she had some quiet time.

As a middle-aged man in his 30s, why don’t we just look forward to our children?

As for my son, don’t be an eyesore and go to school!
The "official" Yang Yizhong bit the bullet and broke this beauty, because he really couldn't shirk it, "Mr. Liu, please see me."

Zhao Jiu suddenly felt like a frost-beaten eggplant and said: "What's the matter? Yesterday I approved hundreds of memorials. What happened today? After all, he is also the provincial minister. He has to ask me for everything. What else do you want him to do?" "

That’s what you said. What was said two days ago about the Shuimu clique that frightened the two great ministers to the point where they still dare not go out? Isn’t it you?It has only been a few days since this happened. Not to mention that Liu Xianggong does not have that much decisiveness, he would not dare to take power even if he were there.Don’t you see that Fan Zongyin, the censor Zhongcheng who also came from the Nanyang sect, dare not say a word for this political big brother?
Not to mention that what he got before the imperial court was really a big deal. He had to solve many specific problems first, and he was almost exhausted for this.Don't even think about it, the two provinces (the capital province and the Privy Council) hold six prime ministers in full, each with one chief and two vice-deputies, but Hu Yin and Chen Gui are busy building in Yanjing, and the two powerful prime ministers are forced to write at home. Repentance.What?There is also Han Shizhong, the deputy Han Shu has been in the Privy Council for less than two days, and he feels that life is impossible. You must know that Po Han has spent half his life in the army. Glory, Zhang Jun realized that Shang Yi usually only took him for a formality, but suddenly all the military deployment, arms storage, military-civilian relations and ordnance progress were piled on him. No matter how unparalleled he was, he couldn't handle it!He quickly asked the officials for orders to go to Dingzhou to deal with Wang Sheng.

In this way, it turned out that the entire Secret Pavilion matter was entirely on Liu Ji's head.It's not that others bullied him, but that there really was nothing he could do.Zhai Ruwen, the Minister of Rites, has just written a demerit and is actively preparing for the princess and hairpin affairs to make amends. When he returns home, he has to take care of his dying mother.Chen Gongfu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, is in charge of the matter, but the appointment and dismissal plan for officials in Lianghe is such a big matter that he can devote all his energy to it. He also has to implement the personnel transfer that the official personally arranged some time ago, so how can he care about anything else?Lin Jingmo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, is even busier. It is the autumn harvest and the Ministry of Revenue has to take care of the national tax, especially since the capitation tax was exempted in front of the land last year. At this time, he can't concentrate.The Minister of Industry went to Yanjing himself and took away more than half of his staff. What use could the rest be used for?Quan Bangyan, the Minister of War, had just taken office and had to be arrested to fill a hole for Han Shizhong.As for the Ministry of Punishment, Ma Shangshu said that he would be executed after the fall. We in the Ministry of Punishment also have to verify death penalty cases across the country, plus manage Jurchen prisoners of war, so we are very busy.

As a result, the entire Chongwen Academy couldn't wait to work overtime every day. Feng Erguan said that candles were consumed twice as much as usual, and our Zhao Guan family couldn't even think of leisure time.Without the pressure of the two great ministers, Liu Ji was not qualified enough and asked for instructions every day, but they were unreasonable, so he could only complain in private and then politely invite people over.

At the same time, I can't help but regret that if I had known it would be so hard, I would have used another method to beat Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun. They took a month's paid leave at home, which exhausted me half to death.

But the first thing he said today made Zhao Guan's family very angry, "What do you mean that the princess of the country will have a title when she comes down? I am willing to give my daughter a seal for the country that I have conquered by myself. Can others control it?"

Liu Ji, who had gotten more wrinkles in a month, smiled bitterly when he heard this.Zhao Guan's family is not a fool either. He thought about it and said, "It must have been my great-aunt who said something else!"

Liu Ji lowered his head, saying nothing.It is said that the Zhao Guan family has this attitude towards their father and brother. How can you find the courage to make irresponsible remarks about an aunt who has been separated by so many generations?
First of all, of course, it was because of her seniority and age. The eldest princess of Lu State was Renzong's only living child.Her consort Qian Jingzhen is a descendant of Qian Liu, the founder of the Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the grandson of the famous minister Qian Weiyan.

As we all know, Renzong had no son to adopt Yingzong as the heir of the emperor, but Yingzong still insisted on the Song Dynasty version of "Daliyi". You are more unreasonable than Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, because you are officially adopted. If you are not willing to kiss your father, don't you I want this throne!

Therefore, later on, the Yingzong family knew that they were in the wrong, and naturally treated Princess Renzong more favorably.And this old lady is also a rare longevity person. She has survived six generations of emperors and now, when the Jin army went south, they clearly found the royal family tree, but no one thought that she was still alive and made it safely to the south of the Yangtze River.If placed in an ordinary dynasty, it would definitely be Renrui. She would have everything she wanted. She felt that she didn't want much, so she wanted to give her only surviving biological son Qian Chen an official position, preferably a secret pavilion official.If it were not this official who was in power, it would not be a big problem.

But it's a pity that our Zhao official family hates all those who try to follow the old path, and ruthlessly cleans up all those who can't contribute to the fight against gold and still occupy official positions. They have been chasing after Yaoshan for their indiscriminate kindness.And you said that the feud between Renzong and Yingzong happened a few lifetimes ago. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t even pay attention to the Second Sage. If I have any objections, go to ask the ancestors.

Ordinarily, most people would not dare to be verbose with the emperor, but the old lady is over 80 years old and is not afraid of what the emperor's great-nephew might do to her. In the past two years, she did not dare to go too far. Now that the Northern Expedition has been victorious, she has not relented. Now she understands that if she does not She had to save her face, because once she closed her eyes, her son would have to live as a government official for the rest of his life, so he simply used the matter of the princess and hairpin to rely on his elders and make irresponsible remarks.

This is very annoying for civil and military officials who are promoted based on their ability. Qu Duan once ridiculed that Qian Chen, who is in his 50s, still relies on his mother to get an official position. He will not seek an official career on his own. I can't tell if there is something wrong with him. He is sick. He is willing to help with the cost of the medicine, but if he can't, he can ask the Eighteenth King to help him get it together.The angry Qian family almost came to the door, but of course, just thinking about it, you didn't need Zhao Guan's family to deflect, you knew you couldn't beat him.

The Qian family is located in the area of ​​Hangzhou, and has deep roots among officials and merchants, as well as among ordinary people.Zhao Guan's family also donated most of their family wealth as military expenses during their stay in Bagong Mountain.It was a big relief to the little imperial court in exile at that time, otherwise, although the Zhao official family respected the old and loved the young, they would not be able to bear her to this day.

But I'm afraid I can only endure it until today.

No father, least of all a father with a lot of power, can allow other people to gossip about his precious daughter.

"Come here, summon Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Lu."

 Because of Qian Xuesen and other seniors, I still have great respect for the Qian family of Wuyue, but what I wrote is true. The history of Princess Lu was even more extreme than this.Wanyan Jiumei, who has no bottom line, can't stand it anymore.

  At that time, the Lord had four sons and one daughter. Su and Kai were not born to him, and they were stunned to death, so they were only richer than Chen.Shang Jie said: "The longevity test of the long master is like this. It is because Emperor Renzong has been deeply benevolent and generous for 42 years, so he is grateful to the elder. The elder's treatment of all the disciples should be consistent with Renzong's intentions."

  Her mentality is to risk everything for her son, but she doesn't want to think that her daughter is also a treasure.
