Chapter 301 Tianhu’s Beginning(1/2)

Early the next morning, Su Song got up, took a pen, and wrote on the imperial edict a summary of what he wanted to say today.

He is already sixty-five years old and his memory is no longer as good as when he was young.

Therefore, he needs to record many things on the Chaohu.

His Xuxian, Xin, was by his side, tying the fish bag for him and putting it straight on his head.

Su Song checked the Chaohut once before putting it on his body.

Then he went out surrounded by his whole family.

The house Su Song rented in Bianjing was close to Maxing Street and west of Zhouqiao, very close to the fruit store in Bianjing City.

Even though it is already the middle of winter, there are still more than a dozen pacific trucks on the streets near the fruit shop every day, braving the rain and snow, transporting large quantities of dried fruits and other items brought into the capital from various places to the fruit shop for distribution.

When Su Song went out, he happened to see a police car pulling dozens of bags of dried fruits and struggling to walk on the road.

Because it snowed last night, in order to prevent the emergency vehicle from slipping.

Behind the body, there are three draft horses acting as brakes.

The heavy train slowly passed by Su Song. As Su Song looked at it, he was thinking about the structure of the train.

So much so that he forgot to move forward. It wasn't until Yuan Sui reminded him that he smiled: "I'll have to find an opportunity to borrow a peace car to come back and have a look..."

The Taiping Wagon was the main force for land transportation of bulk goods in the Song Dynasty. Although it was clumsy and slow, its cargo carrying capacity far exceeded all other land vehicles.

A flat car can carry thousands of kilograms of cargo and travel hundreds of miles at a time.

Of course, the animal power used for such a huge vehicle is also exaggerated. It is usually pulled by five horses in parallel, and three horses must be prepared as brakes for pulling backwards to prevent slipping in rain or snow or going too fast when going downhill.

The car crashed and people died.

At the same time, those who can drive a Taiping car must be elderly.

Su Song rode his horse through Maxing Street and turned into Yu Street via Zhouqiao.

Go all the way along Yujie and you will arrive at Xuandemen.

After getting off Ma Yuan in front of Xuande Gate, they led the horses to rest. Su Song tidied up his official uniform and futou, then took the imperial hut and walked into the imperial city.

When Su Song entered the city from Xuande Gate, Shi Deyi saw him from a distance.

He looked at the old minister and had various thoughts in his mind.

"I'm afraid the late Emperor and everyone entrusted Su Zirong..."

As for why?

The reason is very simple. Su Song is the minister in the Song Dynasty who knows the most about the transportation and mountains and rivers geography in the Northern Territory.

Xining, Yuanfengzhong, and Su Song sent envoys to the northern captives many times.

After returning home, he kept reporting the internal details of the Beilu to the late emperor. The late emperor greatly appreciated it and ordered Su Song to write it into a book.

That is "The Letters of Huarong and Luwei". This book is on Shi Deyi's desk.

It is the best book in the Song Dynasty for studying the Northern Banshee.

Because this book not only provides a detailed description of the geography, mountains, rivers, roads and environment of Beilu, but also details the replacement and changes of Beilu in the past dynasties.

In addition, Su Song was also one of the most important reform promoters during Yuanfeng's restructuring.

Today's four selection methods for officials are Su Song's masterpiece.

The late emperor had great respect for Su Song because of this. The fault was not because last year the late emperor felt that his health was not as good as before, so he had to make preparations early and appointed Zeng Xiaokuan as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel to appease the elders.

Otherwise, Su Song should have been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs long ago!

only……

Shi Deyi frowned as he recalled everyone's expressions yesterday.

"Even if the late emperor entrusted him, everyone should not pay so much attention to Su Zirong..."

He is the first person who comes to mind as the official of Kaifeng Prefecture.

He also said: "If I want to govern Kaifeng, I must look for good officials! But in the current court, the person who is suitable to assist me and has the right official position, after thinking about it, is probably Su Song!"

This is unusual!

So far, everyone seems to have made such a firm judgment only when dealing with Shen Kuo - Shen Kuo must be the one to focus on manufacturing the weapons bureau!

Nowadays, the government of Kaifeng Mansion has the attitude of "it must be Su Song".

It’s really thought-provoking!

However, Shi De was just thinking about it.

He would not reveal a word of these things to the outside world.

Under the watchful eye of Shi Deyi, Su Song walked to Zuo Zhaoqing's gate, and then entered the palace under the guidance of Di Yong, the general manager of the gate.

Shi Deyi also walked down from the tower of Xuandemen.

Head-on, he met Liang Congzheng.

"Everyone knows how elegant it is!" Liang Congzheng said with a smile.

Shi De once said with a formulaic smile: "The imperial medicine is not in the imperial medicine hospital, why did it come to Xuandemen?"

"Look at the scenery!" Liang Congzheng said concisely and to the point.

"Oh!" Shi Deyi didn't say much. This big Diao Dang beside the Empress Dowager was the one who personally poured the poisoned wine into Zhang Maoze.

He has proven his loyalty to everyone through his actions!

"That's right!" Shi De suddenly turned around and said as soon as he was halfway there: "Liang Junyou has returned to Beijing from Xihe and met with everyone in Funing Hall this morning!"

"Thank you!" Liang Congzheng nodded.

Liang Junyou is Liang Congji, and Junyou is his cousin.

As for Liang Congji, you can tell from his name that he has a close relationship with Liang Congzheng.

The two of them can be said to be uncles and nephews - of course, not related by blood.

But among the ministers in this palace, blood ties are the least important.

Inheritance is the key!

Liang Congzheng was immediately full of confidence.



Su Song walked into the Chongzheng Hall step by step.

The huge Chongzheng Hall was very empty.

Apart from Yuryu Nao who was on guard, there were only figures on the right side behind the screen.

That is the text in which Qi Julang prepared to record the unique relationship between the king and his ministers.

The officials had not yet arrived at the palace, so the throne was empty.

Su Song originally thought that he would have to wait for a while, but not long after he entered the palace, he heard the sound of ritual music.

Then, the officials, dressed in Chu-yellow uniforms, walked into the Chongzheng Hall from the corridor at the back, surrounded by female officials, ministers and people with royal equipment.

Su Song hurriedly held the fluorine to welcome him: "Chen Song, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, welcome your majesty to the palace!"

The official walked to the throne and sat down. His body was straight, and he sat upright and in a dignified manner.

This is the most proud thing for both the government and the public - most of the ministers have no chance to talk to His Majesty at close range. All they can see is the manner in which he ascends to the court, and what they can hear is the conversation with the Prime Minister.

And these two things, he perfectly satisfied the fantasies of both the government and the public.

He walks and sits in a measured manner, speaks in a proper manner, is pure, filial and wise, and is familiar with all affairs of state affairs, unlike a child.

It is said that even the two palaces need to ask his opinion on many matters - because 'officials often know the evil and the loyal and the traitor at a glance'.

And those things finally proved the official's judgment.

Therefore, everyone in the government and the public said: This is how I became the king of the Song Dynasty!

The initial evaluation of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty has quietly disappeared.

First, because the courtiers were afraid, they talked and talked, and finally they really cultivated an Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty!

Not so when you become a king!

Secondly, of course it’s to flatter me! It’s also to show that I, the Song Dynasty, have God’s blessing in front of the Northern and Western thieves!

Thinking about these things in his heart, Su Song bowed respectfully again: "I wish your majesty all the blessings!"

"I am blessed!" the official replied, "I will spare you the courtesy and grant you a seat!"

Su Song thanked him again. A chair had been moved behind him, and a cup of tea was also delivered to him.

Su Song took the tea cup, sat down carefully, and held Chaohu in his arms.

Then he listened to the official saying: "You are indeed as Huang Kao said, you are a loyal and loyal elder in our court!"

Su Song immediately said: "I don't dare!"
