Bingchen, the twelfth month of the fifth month of the first year of Yuanyou.

The imperial edict was given to Sima Guang, one of his servants, who suffered from foot sores and was prevented from worshiping and kneeling. Since Sima Guang was an old minister of the late emperor and a teacher of the emperor, it was specially ordered to exempt Sima Guang from going to court and kneeling until he recovered.

He also issued an edict: Huainan suffered from a severe drought, and ordered Benlu to be punished, and officials in Changping conducted a detailed investigation and consideration, and exempted Huainan from the two additional taxes this year.

Lin Xi, the person who lives in the living room, is the living room manager, and Zeng Zhao, the doctor Zuo Si who is also the author of the book, is the living room manager.

Zeng Zhao, the annotation of Guhuangzige, was written by Zeng Gongzi from Zhongshushe.

Zuo Zhengyan advised Sun Sheng, the senior official, to stop learning about Taizhou. Zuo Zhengyan advised Liu Fengshi to stop learning about Suizhou.

Obviously, this is the result of the officials who continued to enter the palace in the past two days, especially Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu, who were active in front of the two palaces.

Zhao Xu didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter, but in fact every night, Liang Weijian and Liang Congzheng would quietly report relevant matters to Feng Jing in the imperial kitchen, and then Feng Jing would tell Zhao Xu.

Therefore, Zhao Xu knew that Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu had been lobbying the Qingshou Palace for a long time these days, and the attitudes of the two palaces finally softened.

That's why these measures were taken.

The former magistrate of Suizhou, King Yidao, was dismissed from his post because of corruption and perversion of the law, and went to Dali Temple.

This unlucky guy was retaliated against because he offended Shen Kuo - Shen Kuo was a good player in politics, and he was definitely an expert in retaliating against others.

On this morning, Zhao Xu came to Jing'an Square to inspect the wall that Cai Jing had just built.

There are blue bricks and green tiles on the walls, and there are paintings and images, and the colors used are bright, which is contrary to the contemporary mainstream aesthetics of civil servants and officials - it is very ostentatious and exaggerated.

However, Zhao Xu believes that he can definitely conquer the local tycoons!

In front of the gates that have not yet been built, there are even two huge stones that are as tall as one person.

I don’t know where Cai Jing got it from?

Definitely not Bianjing, at least they are all in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Maybe it's better to get it from Luoyang or West Beijing.

The shipping cost for these large stones alone is probably one to two thousand guan each.

Fortunately, someone will pay for it.

Zhao Xu took advantage of the imperial ban and looked around with great interest.

Then he called Yao Xiong, the commander of the Divine Guards Army who was responsible for supervising the construction here, and asked about the progress of the demolition work in Jing'an Square.

After learning that the residential houses in Jing'anfang have basically been demolished.

After only transporting the construction waste out of the city, he praised Yao Xiong greatly and urged Yao Xiong to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to build the exhibition area before the Kuncheng Festival.

This will make it easier to sell the house.

Yao Xiong saw Zhao Xu for the first time and seemed a little excited.

Therefore, when speaking, it is inevitable to stumble - of course it may be due to acting.

But Zhao Xu has a good impression of Yao Xiong.

Yao Xiong's grandfather was Yao Bao, who died heroically in Dingchuan Village. His father was Yao Si, a famous general in the Western Army. His uncle was Yao Lin, and his younger brother Yao Gu were all famous generals in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the old Yao family, like the old Zhong family, are both general families who have dedicated their youth to the old Zhao family and dedicated their descendants.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, brothers Yao Xiong and Yao Gu were his generals who pioneered Lingxia.

The uncle of these two men, Yao Lin, was Zhao Xu's most trusted military minister during the Shaosheng era - the envoy of the Wukang Army and the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace before entering the palace.

His status is the same as that of Yanda, Miao Shuo and Liu Changzuo today.

"Yao Qing, how is your father's health?" After Yao Xiong finished his report, Zhao Xu began to make daily arrangements.

Yao Xiong was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "I am an official, my father has always been in good health, and he can still shoot the magic arm bow."

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded: "When Huang Kao was here, he told me about your father-in-law."

"Huang Kao said that there is a general Yao Si in Huanqing who is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. On his armor and sword are inscriptions: The enemy has not been avenged, but he is encouraged day and night..."

"It's a pity that my father came to Beijing last year and I couldn't meet him. I'm very sorry!"

Yao Xiong suddenly became excited, shed tears, and worshiped: "My father, the late emperor has favored me so much. I must shed tears of gratitude and die in repayment!"

Yao Si was now taken to Xihe by Zhao Xi, and served as the deputy general manager of the troops and horses of Xihe Road as the Dongshanghemen envoy and the Zhongzhou regiment training envoy.

This is the standard horizontal officer.

Moreover, Yao Si's role as an unruly official was created by him with one blow and one shot - he had fought all the major wars inside and outside the Song Dynasty since Xining.

He participated in putting down the Qingzhou mutiny, followed Yanda to the south, and fought against Jiaozhi. Under Wang Guangzu's command, he put down the Luzhou barbarians and expelled his begging brothers.

On all roads along the border, he also fought in more than ten places. He was the kind of fierce general who charged forward.

Zhao Xu waved his hand. He now found that playing the emperor's test card was very effective.

Whether it is for civil servants or military generals, once the imperial examination card is played, they will quickly close the relationship with each other.

Of course, such an easy-to-play card can only be used occasionally.

If you use it frequently, it won't be worth the money.

Therefore, he kept it and only used it in front of people he really wanted to win over.

Looking at it now, the effect is still outstanding.

This proves that his approach is correct.

"I heard that Qingfu is determined to take revenge. He has engraved on his armor and weapons: The revenge has not been avenged, but he is encouraged day and night?" Zhao Xu then asked.

"Your Majesty, my father lost his father when he was young, and he was raised by my grandmother. My grandmother taught my father and uncle the principles of loyalty and filial piety since they were young. Therefore, everyone in my family wants to serve my father and is determined to take revenge!"

Zhao Xu listened and nodded seriously: "Good!"

"If all the military ministers in the world are like the Qing family, why worry about the Western bandits not being destroyed and the Northern barbarians not being destroyed?"

Yao Xiong was so excited when he heard this that he was so drunk by Zhao Xu's chicken soup that he almost forgot his last name?

…

After Zhao Xu finished his inspection of Jing'anfang, he took Cai Jing with him.

Let Cai Jing ride a horse and follow Yu Hu.

At the same time, letting Yan Yuan lead the people created a space for secret discussions between the monarch and his ministers.

"Cai Qing, do you know what happened to Sun Sheng and Liu Fengshi this morning?"

"I have heard a little bit about it." Cai Jing lowered his head and replied: "These two ministers are so bold and reckless that they are beyond measure and should be demoted."

This was also the crime sentenced to Sun Sheng and Liu Anshi in the edict.

A very vague charge that doesn't even have a definite character.

"Prince Wang Xiaoxian of Dali Temple is about to leave." Zhao Xu said softly: "Sir, are you ready to temporarily stay in Dali Temple?"

Cai Jing quickly expressed his position: "I am working hard and sleeping all night, just waiting for His Majesty's order!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Xu nodded.

"Get ready!"

"No!" Of course Cai Jing knew what Zhao Xu meant.

But he doesn't have any psychological pressure.

This is the way this world is.

Now that you have decided to become an official and become a high official, you cannot not only want to be promoted, but also want to be famous, and you also want to be simple in the heart of the emperor.

This is impossible.

And the thirty-nine-year-old Cai Jing has long since sold his conscience and morality.

He just wants to make progress now!

He is as progressive as his clan uncle Cai Que!

…

Zhao Xu had just washed up after returning to the palace.

Then I received a message from the Tongjian Division.

The imperial censor Zhongcheng Fu Yaoyu asked to see him.

Zhao Xu read it once, took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and replaced himself with a weak, helpless, and pitiful little emperor.

Then he said to Guo Zhongxiao: "Please invite Master Fu to come to the east pavilion of Funing Hall."

Guo Zhongxiao took the order and left.

After Zhao Xu changed his clothes, he was escorted by Yan Yuan and entered the quiet room in the east pavilion of Funing Palace. He sat under the curtain and waited quietly for Fu Yaoyu.

He now enjoys summoning ministers in this quiet room.

Not only does it feel safe here, it also offers great privacy.

So far, no news has leaked out in this quiet room.
