May of the second year of Yuanyou (the second day of the lunar calendar).

Zhao Xu sat upright in front of the inner pond in the back garden, holding a fishing rod and looking at the water.

The two ministers wearing purple robes, fish bags, and foot-studded heads came to the inner pond under the guidance of Feng Jing.

"Hanlin Bachelor's Officer..."

"The scholar of Zizheng Palace is the magistrate of Bozhou minister Zong Meng..."

"I respectfully ask the Emperor and His Majesty for all blessings!"

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the two ministers kindly.

Today, he is wearing a flat-style turtle that is often worn by the people of the Song Dynasty.

Because this kind of matte is cheap and comfortable, it is widely worn from the official to the people.

The men and women in modern Song Dynasty historical TV series often wear this kind of matte.

As for the clothes he was wearing were light white linen clothes.

It looks like an ordinary teenager fishing.

Obviously, this is in cosplay!

Don’t think that only modern 2D young people play this.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, kings of all dynasties also love to play cosplay.

Moreover, the play is more exciting and attentive than the 2D young people.

Many people even immersively experience the role they play.

For example, the famous Emperor Wanshou and Zhenjun Feiyuan completely took over the role they played and even brought it to work.

For example, whenever the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng was free, he would play the role of Taoist priests and fishermen from the Tang and Song dynasties, playing in the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace.

As for the Song Dynasty...

True Temple and Ren Temple are all enthusiasts of this path.

Therefore, Qian Xie and Pu Zongmeng were not surprised by Zhao Xu's outfit.

"Two bachelors are exempt from gifts..." Zhao Xu smiled: "Let's come and fish with me, and have a heart-to-heart talk..."

Since summoning Shen Kuo here last time, Zhao Xu has discovered that talking about work while fishing will help enhance the relationship between the monarch and the ministers and bring closer relationships to each other.

So today, we summon two ministers here at once.

"promise!"

Qian Xie and Pu Zongmeng bowed again, then walked forward carefully and sat on the chair prepared for them.

The Inspector on the side delivered the prepared fishing rods, baits and nets to them.

Zhao Xu waited for them to sit down and said, "Two bachelors, don't be restrained..."

"It's time to get fish..."

"Yes..." the two of them replied in unison, and then they started to use the bait in a hurry, looking like they were fishing for a newbie.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he just smiled.

Acting skills still need to be polished!

But it doesn’t matter. Today’s focus is not on fishing.

“Bachelor Pu…”

"I am here!" Pu Zongmeng immediately cheered up and lowered his head to face the emperor beside him.

"I have read the documents from Bozhou..." Zhao Xu said leisurely: "The bachelor is in Bozhou, strictly enforce public security, crack down on bandits, make the people live in peace, and make the people feel at ease..."

Pu Zongmeng immediately lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty Miao Zan, I am ashamed of you..."

Zhao Xu smiled loudly and didn't answer his words.

Because it's hard to pick up!

In the Song Dynasty, every minister was like a modern traffic star and had a personality.

Pu Zongmeng’s character is to seize public security and fight against bandits.

This is the label that implements his career.

He has been consistent since the judge of Kuizhou Observation and has persisted until today.

Just like his luxury as an official, his utmost care.

However, anything will be overkill.

Pu Zongmeng's character is also average.

Strictly enforce public security and crack down on bandits with one-size-fits-all measures means that it is easy to have unjust, false and wrong cases and excessive punishments.

Therefore, Pu Zongmeng’s record in this area can only be said to be mixed.

I like him very much, and I hate him so much.

What Zhao Xu liked was Pu Zongmeng's achievements in public security.

The Song Dynasty now...

We must hurry up on the issue of public security!

Because if you want to develop capital, you need to have a good business environment.

How can you see a bunch of bandits leaving a big city, robbing the rich and helping the poor everywhere, and even the heroes of Liangshan appear?

Must strike!

Let the heroes go where they should go.

For example, Jiaozhou and Xihe!

But this is an offensive thing, and most people are unwilling to do it.

Only Pu Zongmeng is willing to do it and willingly.

As for Zhao Xu?

He is the benevolent emperor.

Of course you can't get involved with this!

Anyway, if Pu Zongmeng messes up, he will sacrifice him - I am still a child! I have been deceived by treacherous ministers!

So, Zhao Xu skipped Pu Zongmeng and looked at Qian Xie on the other side.

Qian Xie issued an order yesterday and was promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor from the Central Secretariat.

The sixth-generation grandson of King Wu Yue, before and after the Ye Kangzhi case, was rewarded with his correct position, firm position, and firm implementation of his intentions.

Bachelor of Hanlin!

Since Qian Weiyan and Qian Yi, the Qian family has produced another Hanlin bachelor’s degree!

That is, I wonder if he will slowly float up like Qian Weiyan, and then get involved in the struggle within the royal family, and eventually he can only leave Beijing sadly?

Zhao Xu thought, and said to Qian Xie: "I have read the bachelor's resignation yesterday..."

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court had to resign from important officials and those who were rejected as usual must resign symbolically.

Just like a dismissal, the emperor needs symbolic comfort.

For the past 150 years, only Wang Anshi has been the exception - Wang Anshi has been appointed as the prime minister, and he has accepted the order directly without refusal.

His words also left without waiting for comfort.

Qian Xie listened and immediately said, "I am not talented and knowledgeable, but I have little virtue. I am already in the Secretariat, and I have already found it difficult..."

"How dare you hope Hanlin Hua's election?"

"What's more, today's people are as numerous as ox-haired men, and those with extremely high talent are countless..."

"Therefore, Your Majesty loves you very much, I am really ashamed. I hope Your Majesty will take back your order and choose another wise man..."

Zhao Xu listened, although he knew that Qian Xie was responding to the story, he still nodded.

Because Qian Xie is right!

On articles and talents, money is in the Song Dynasty today. Not to mention the top ten, the top twenty is a big deal!

Not to mention the other person, the existence of Su Shi alone is enough to make others afraid.

Before Su Shi became a Hanlin Bachelor, anyone else who entered the Hanlin Bachelor had to consider whether he could withstand the torture of contemporary literati and the evaluation of future generations?

This is a trend that has emerged this year.

Because Su Shi's official rank has reached the minimum requirement for being a Hanlin bachelor.

In March, the court invited the Lang to the governor of Dengzhou Su Shi. Because of his outstanding political achievements, the court issued an edict to commend him. Su Shi invited the Lang to the Seventh Century from the court to move to the Fengfu Department of the Court [Sixth Century], and appointed a position in the Pavilion. Jixian Courtyard was the Zhilongtu Pavilion, and officially became the important minister of the Song Dynasty.

As a result, Su Shi became a roadblock for all those who wanted to become a Hanlin bachelor.
