1512. Resignation

"I remember it in my heart!"

A moment later, Zhang Polu knelt on the ground and said solemnly to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Get up, don't kneel down at any time, just remember my words in your heart."

After Zhang Tingen left the imperial study, he hurried to the central cabinet.

It is said that it is the central cabinet, but in fact it is the most of the yamen that were originally in the palace. Lu Xiufu and others still work in their respective yamen.

After Zhang Tingen entered the central cabinet, he went straight to Lu Xiufu's State Council yamen.

As a state order, Lu Xiufu is nominally on par with Su Liuyi, Zhao Yuluo, Wang Wenfu and others, but his real power among the people should be the greatest.

The two pillars of civil and military in the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang is the Wuzhu, and he is the Wenzhu.

Zhao Dongting never stings with his trust in the ministers below. After the central cabinet of the city, he also gave Lu Xiufu the title of executive deputy cabinet leader.

In addition, more than ten officials, Lu Xiufu, were sent to be his secretary, for fear that this old minister who had worked hard for the Song Dynasty would be tired.

Zhang Tingen's grandfather Zhang Shijie turned out to be on par with Lu Xiufu and had many years of friendship. In private, he was also familiar with Lu Xiufu.

When he went to Lu Xiufu's office in the State Council yamen, he knocked in the door and shouted with a smile: "Grandpa Lu!"

Lu Xiufu raised his head after the desk, gently lowered the brush in his hand, and said, "The Emperor sent you here?"

Zhang Tingen said very dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa Lu sees what you said. Can't I come to see you?"

Lu Xiufu chuckled, "You kid are not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing! Now is the time for duty, will you dare to sneak out? And if you want to see me, why don't you see me and visit my house?"

Zhang Tingen only smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, it's really the Emperor who asked me to come. Grandpa Lu, the Emperor wants you to set up a Ministry of Science and Technology again, and let the Central Cabinet issue an edict to grant Li Zhaoen the Minister of Science and Technology."

"who?"

Even Lu Xiufu was slightly stunned.

Zhang Tingen said: "Li Zhaoen, a Jinshi in Xiangxing for the eleventh year."

Lu Xiufu opened his mouth and murmured: "This is really soaring to the sky... That old guy Chen Wenlong is probably going to be very happy."

Li Goudan was a high school Jinshi at the age of ten, and then Zhao Dongting went straight to the imperial study to work as a small yellow gate. Even Lu Xiufu knew him a little.

The kindness between Chen Wenlong and Li Goudan is not a secret in the court.

Chen Wenlong had great expectations for Li Goudan, and he had said in front of Lu Xiufu and others that Li Goudan's future achievements will definitely not be small.

Lu Xiufu and others also thought this was for granted. After all, the emperor was the first to summon Zhu Haiwang to the palace as the small yellow sect, and the Zhu Hecong brothers achieved remarkable achievements. One was the chief general of the Tianjue Army, and the other was the Minister of Finance of the Ministry of State.

But Lu Xiufu never thought that Li Zhaoen could make a name for himself so quickly. He became an official and became a minister of the Shangshu as soon as he became an official.

This is just on par with Zhu Hecong, and it is a real second-rank official title in the court.

After being stunned for a long time, Lu Xiufu said to Zhang Polu: "If I remember correctly, Li Zhaoen is only fifteen years old this year, right?"

Zhang Polu nodded and said, "That's right."

Lu Xiufu suddenly burst into laughter, "Fifteen-year-old Shangshu, haha, it can be seen that I am now full of talents in the Song Dynasty!"

Then he picked up the brush and said, "You go back and report to the emperor, and you will say that I will draft an order."

"Okay!"

Zhang Polu nodded and walked out the door.

"etc!"

But Lu Xiufu suddenly called him down again.

Zhang Polu paused his feet and turned around, "Grandpa Lu, do you have anything to give?"

Lu Xiufu glanced at him gently and said, "My little girl has been talking about you several times recently. Don't you really go see her?"

Zhang Polu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm not working in the imperial study room, don't have time!"

"snort!"

Lu Xiufu snorted softly, "The Emperor did not ask you to serve in the imperial study room at night. Although the girl in my family is not beautiful, she is well-educated and well-educated, which is not considered as insulting your Zhang family, right? If you really don't look down on her, go and explain to her as soon as possible, so that she won't bother me and ask me every day."

"without."

Zhang Polu thought for a while and said, "I don't like Yaoyao."

Lu Xiufu put down his pen and said, "Why have you deliberately alienated her in the past two years? Is it because I feel that my little yellow party has a bright future and I look down on my girl?"

Lu Xiufu's granddaughter Lu Yaoyao is only two years younger than Zhang Polu. It was still the time when the Song Dynasty was not in a bumpy way, and Lu and Zhang families had a lot of contact. Zhang Polu and Lu Yaoyao grew up together with their butts. They were childhood sweethearts and had no guesses. This is not a secret in a certain circle in the court.

The two had an intention, and Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu had no intention of objecting. They just thought that after Zhang Polu entered the palace, he rarely went to Lu Yaoyao again.

Lu Xiufu probably felt more and more unhappy when he thought about it, and said, "There are many people who come to my Lu family to propose marriage. Don't think that my girl must marry you."

Zhang Polu immediately became a little anxious when he heard this and said, "Grandpa Lu, listen to me..."

I lowered my head slightly and said, "I...I want to wait until the emperor sends me to the lower yamen to serve as a servant before going to your house to propose marriage. Now I..."

When Lu Xiufu heard this, he was stunned and his face calmed down a lot, "A man is determined to be in all directions, so I will say a few words to the girl when I go back today."

Zhang Polu nodded, "Thank you Grandpa Lu."

Then walk out of the room.

Zhang Shijie's two sons, the eldest son, was appointed as the deputy inspector of Guangnan East Road, while Zhang Polu's father was only a fifth-rank official under the State Council.

Perhaps, this made Zhang Polu lack some confidence after all!

After Zhang Polu left, Lu Xiufu said to himself with a smile in the room, "I still know how to be enterprising, but the little girl in my family didn't miss it."

But Zhang Polu, who returned to the imperial study room, knelt down in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Polu looked up and said, "Emperor, I ask for an order to join the army and go to the border to serve the country!"

Even Zhang Tingen was stunned now.

Zhao Dongting was silent for a while and asked, "How come you suddenly had such an idea?"

Zhang Polu said: "Actually, I have already had this idea, but... I have never made up my mind."

Zhao Dongting said again: "Then why have you made up your mind now?"

Zhang Polu smiled bitterly, "The emperor asked me to learn more knowledge, but I... I feel that I really don't have that talent. Those numbers and formulas recognize me, but I don't recognize me. I think I am more suitable to follow the army to fight."

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows slightly.

In fact, he also saw that Zhang Polu's interest in martial arts and military tactics was far greater than his interest in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Perhaps with Zhang Polu's talent, it will be difficult for him to pass the Jinshi exam in his entire life.

When he asked Zhang Polu to enter the palace, he was also sympathetic to the Zhang family and wanted to find another way for Zhang Polu. As long as he stayed in the imperial study for a few years, he could barely learn all the knowledge he had learned and sent him to the local government as a prefect or something, it would be enough. Compared to joining the army to accumulate military merits, such a path is obviously safer and safer.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Polu would propose to go to the frontier to fight.

Zhao Dongting did not agree directly, but said, "But your Zhang family, whether it is your grandfather, your uncle or father, are all Chinese officials in the court, you..."

"I think that if I am not a grandfather, I am a civil servant, so I have to be a civil servant. Civil servants and military generals all serve the country. I think I am more suitable for joining the army!" Zhang Polu said heavily.

Zhao Dongting could hear the firmness from his words.

This also made him smile.

It may not be a good thing that Zhang Polu has such an idea. If the descendants of the entire court officials think about Meng's ancestors Mengyin, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

He waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, I'm sure. When you go back, discuss with your grandpa and the others first. If they agree, I will send you to the northern border."

"I, thank you, the emperor!"

Zhang Polu kowtowed to Zhao Dongting and stood up, as if he was much more relaxed and confident at this moment. He glanced at Zhang Tingen and walked out of the imperial study room with great strides.

"emperor……"

Zhang Tingen also looked at Zhao Dongting.

Just as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhao Dongting scolding: "Shut up and stay in the imperial study honestly!"

Zhang Tingen was slightly stunned, and with aggrieved face, he retreated back to the corner to read a book.

Zhao Dongting looked at him, sighed softly, and said nothing.

Zhang Polu can go because there are other juniors in the Zhang Shijie family, but Zhang Xi is the only one who is Zhang Tingen at home...

Zhang Xi spent his whole life working for the Song Dynasty, and finally died of old injuries and even his son died in the army early. Zhao Dongting didn't want him to have no successor.

He brought Zhang Tingenxuan to the imperial study room to be a small yellow gate, and made up his mind to train Zhang Tingen into a talent. Even if Zhang Tingen really had no ability in the end, he would never let the Zhang family decline completely.
