Gengwu (the tenth day of the lunar month) in the twelfth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

Therefore, Prime Minister Wu Chong's wife, Li, wrote a letter begging to be forgiven the money Wu Chong owed the court during his lifetime.

He ordered Wu Chong, the prime minister, to release the money owed.

When the imperial court invited him to serve as a minister, he learned that Tang Shuwen of Qianzhou was the left minister's admonisher, and the imperial minister Zhu Guangting was the right minister's admonisher.

Su Zhe, the school secretary and the storyteller of Jiying Palace, is also the Zhengyan of the left, the secretary is Sheng Zhengzi, and Fan Zuyu, the storyteller of Jiying Palace, is the Zhengyan of the right.

As a court official, he served as the Minister of Jiying Palace. Fan Chunren Pavilion of Zhilong Tuge was promoted to Tianzhang Pavilion and was appointed as Minister of Household Affairs.

Chao Fenglang, Zhilong Tuge Fan Chunchuan knew Qingzhou, and Quan sent an envoy to appease Huanqing Road.

Xian Yuqian, the official of the imperial court, was the deputy envoy of Jingdong Road.

This series of personnel appointments and dismissals has been uneventful.

Because they are all the result of discussions among the prime ministers in the capital, no one dares to give or take them privately.

Therefore, Zhang Dun and others did not cause any trouble.

Zhao Xu put down the Dutang Provincial Letter in his hand and asked Shi Deyi next to him: "The Dutang still hasn't decided, who to send to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Shi Deyi replied: "The left prime minister and the right prime minister have different opinions..."

"It is said that the left prime minister wants to recommend Quan Ti, who has just arrived in Beijing, to appoint Huang Shi, the official of Changping, Huainan East Road, while the right prime minister prefers to recommend Lang Kong Wenzhong as the leader..."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded.

"Kong Wenzhong, after Confucius?" Zhao Xu asked.

Shi De nodded.

Zhao Xu flicked the provincial notes in his hand, deliberately pretending not to know.

In fact, he was very familiar with Kong Wenzhong.

In the Yuanyou era of the previous life, there was a saying of "Three Kongs and Two Sus". The three Kongs were the three brothers Kong Wenzhong, Kong Wuzhong and Kong Zhongping, and the two Sus were of course the brothers Su Shi and Su Che.

It goes without saying that San Kong's articles, poems and poems can be mentioned together with Ersu.

It’s just that Zhao Xu doesn’t like it!

Because, in Zhao Xu's previous life, he remembered very clearly that when he was twelve years old, those people in the palace were taking advantage of the opportunity of choosing a wet nurse to choose a woman for him. Among the civil servants was Kong Wenzhong.

!

As a result, everyone around Zhao Xu was purged.

Feng Jing died in another place, and Guo's mother-in-law died of illness in Bianjing.

Therefore, after Zhao Xu came to power, even though Kong Wenzhong had already died, he still did not let him go - he was chased and demoted to Meizhou Biejia.

Shi Deyi quietly observed Zhao Xu's expression and found nothing strange, so he continued to introduce: "As for Huang Shi, he was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Xining..."

"He is the son-in-law of the ruling Zhang Dun..."

Zhao Xu continued to remain expressionless.

Shi Deyi continued quietly: "At the same time, the minister's daughter is said to be discussing an engagement with the third son of the school secretary Su Che. If nothing unexpected happens, the engagement may be made in the spring of next year..."

Zhao Xu nodded, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were like this, they had intricate relationships.

Zhao Xu stood up and told Shi Deyi: "If there are results from the capital hall, just tell me..."

"only!"

Zhao Xu took Shi Deyi to the Jingxi Road sand table that had just been dedicated to the palace by Shen Kuo, and looked at the geographical situation of Jingxi.

Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "By the way, since Xian Yuqian has been transferred to Jingdong, does Shen Xiyan, the former deputy transport envoy of Jingdong Road, have a new assignment?"

"Shen Xiyan has entered the country and is waiting for you!" Shi Deyi replied.

"Oh..." Zhao Xu was just concerned. He had never met Shen Xiyan, so naturally he couldn't talk about his likes and dislikes.

"Please sort out Xian Yuqian's resume and identity for me..."

"I obey the decree!"

Shi Deyi remembered something and reported: "Everyone, it seems that today the Supervisory Yushi Wang wrote a letter to impeach Fan Xun, an official in the counties and towns in the Kaifeng Prefecture..."

Kaifeng Mansion is now the place where the emperor governs, so of course this matter must be reported.

"uh-huh?"

"It is said that it was because of Fan Xun that he wrote a letter begging to be dismissed from Shanling Official..."

Zhao Xu snorted: "Is he so unwilling to be loyal to the late emperor's mausoleum?"

Shi Deyi lowered his head and said: "It seems that Fan Xun has already written a letter to apologize and has closed his mind to think about it..."

Zhao Xu continued to snort coldly: "Just now you think about it, are you pretending to be a loyal minister and a filial son?"

Although he knew in his heart that there must be something behind this matter.

However, Fan Xun was openly unwilling to serve as the official tomb of the late emperor.

No matter what the reason is, for Zhao Xu, who claims to be the most filial son in the world throughout the ages, even if it is just a performance, this guy should be thrown to the local place to reflect and reflect.

However, if Zhao Xu remembers correctly, this Fan Xun should be Wang Anshi's disciple.

Therefore, Zhao Xu didn't want to interfere too much in this matter, so he just expressed his stance.

To avoid being used as an excuse to criticize Wang Anshi.

For Zhao Xu, since Fan Xun wanted to plead guilty, the selection of new candidates for official duties in the counties and towns within the Kaifeng Prefecture would begin.

This candidate needs to be chosen carefully.

Kaifeng Prefecture is a very large city with a high political status.

In addition to the two Chi counties of Kaifeng and Xiangfu, there are also 14 Ji counties.

County magistrates were all officials from the Beijing Dynasty, and the population within the territory was also large.

The official affairs of the counties and towns within the boundaries of Kaifeng Prefecture are responsible for the main affairs of the other fourteen counties except Kaifeng and Xiangfu, and their status is only under the prefect.

Therefore, you have to choose someone who is trustworthy and capable to do this.

Without hesitation, Zhao Xu ordered: "Shi Deyi, go to the Ministry of Personnel to convey my oral instructions, and ask Su Song, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to come to the palace to answer the question alone!"

"What do you mean?"

"If I want to govern Kaifeng, I must seek good officials! As for the person in the dynasty who is suitable to assist me and has the right official position, after thinking about it, Su Song is probably the only one!" When saying these words, Zhao Xu couldn't wait. .

In his previous life, the minister he trusted most, besides Zhang Dun, was Su Song!

Su Song was also the only minister in Shaosheng's era who served as prime minister in Yuanyou's era but never suffered any political turmoil or even the slightest harassment.

Zhao Xu showed great favor to him and took good care of him.

Why?

It was definitely not because of the Yuanyou Water Transport Instrument Station, nor could it be his part-time job as a scientist - at that time, Zhao Xu had no idea about the value of Su Song and his inventions.

There is only one reason why Zhao Xu favored Su Song - in the entire Yuanyou era, Su Song was the only prime minister who insisted on repeating his report to Zhao Xu after telling the Empress Dowager.

He was also the only prime minister who did not turn his butt towards him in the court, but was respectful and constantly asking for instructions!

Therefore, after Zhao Xu took office, he affectionately called him: Mr. Su Xianggong.

After Su Song invited him to go out, he continued to show kindness.

Later, Su Song's mother passed away, and he specially ordered Su Song to be known to Yangzhou.

It is a great honor for him to return to his hometown in glory and preside over his mother's funeral as his parents' official!

Even when Su Song became an official, he would always send envoys to give him gifts on his birthday.

Since waking up in Qingning Palace, Zhao Xu has been deliberately avoiding contact with Zhang Dun and Su Song.

Not only to protect them, but also to prevent these two people from becoming the target of public criticism.

Any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

But now, Zhao Xu has the ability to protect them.

So, let’s stop pretending and let’s show off!

Once the power is in hand, Su Song will be transferred!

…

Su Song was at his home at this time, talking to his new friends.

This man's name was Han Gonglian, and he was just an official in the Ministry of Personnel. His official position was low, and he had nothing to do with Su Song.

However, Su Song accidentally discovered that this official was proficient in mathematics, astronomy and various instruments.

Immediately, I felt the desire to make friends - for Su Song, such a confidant was so difficult to find!

There are even fewer ministers in the entire court who like these things like him.

As a result, Su Song quickly became good friends with Han Gonglian, and within a few months they talked about everything.
