Behind the screen, Empress Dowager Xiang had been listening to the conversation between Sixth Brother in the palace, Gao Gongji and her younger brother Xiang Zonghui.
I feel quite proud!
Because Sixth Brother speaks very well and doesn't have any stage fright.
Everything she taught was explained clearly.
He even played a part himself.
This makes her very proud!
However, as I listened, things seemed to be a little different.
"Why did Sixth Brother suddenly want to confer a beauty officer to a relative of the country?" Empress Dowager Xiang didn't even react immediately.
When she reacted, she saw Sixth Brother's hopeful eyes from behind the screen.
This made Empress Dowager Xiang feel soft in her heart.
"Brother Six, do you know which official is a beautiful official?" Queen Mother Xiang asked from behind the screen with a smile.
In the palace, Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui had already fallen down after hearing the Queen Mother Xiang's voice.
"The Empress Dowager..."
"You are here too..."
"Isn't the Queen Mother here?" Zhao Xu looked at the Queen Mother eagerly: "If I don't understand, the Queen Mother can teach me!"
The Empress Dowager thought about it, although it felt like something was wrong.
But since Brother Six has begged her.
Moreover, she also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Brother Six had any talent in government affairs?
Can he be as smart as he is in reading?
Compared with this, whether it is conferring an official to Gao Gongji or conferring an official to her younger brother, it is a trivial matter!
To put it bluntly, as long as Sixth Brother shows the same intelligence in this matter as he does in studying, then the Empress Dowager Xiang feels that whether it is Gao Gongji or Xiang Zonghui, even if he dies now, he will still have contributed to the country. With meritorious deeds, the world can smile.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager simply ignored the little things that the government and the public discussed.
Is there anything more important than letting officials try to hold power, select officials, and promote ministers?
These thoughts swirled around in Queen Mother Xiang's mind, and she said dotingly: "If Brother Six wants to be conferred an official position, then let's do it!"
"Shi Deyi!" he called to the Queen Mother.
As soon as Shi De left, he appeared from behind the screen: "I respectfully listen to your Majesty's wishes!"
"You go to the capital hall to see which governor is on duty today, invite him here, and ask him to bring the hall documents with him..."
"Wei!" Shi De bowed before bowing.
Shangshu Xinsheng, Dutang Lingtang.
Nothing to do today, Zhang Dun is looking through his past works.
His eyes were on a poem called: Purple Pavilion that he wrote many years ago.
Past events emerge one after another in my mind.
The voice and appearance of an old friend from many years ago seemed to be still before me.
"Su Zizhan!" He chuckled, then raised a glass of wine and wished in the direction of Changzhou.
He knows that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers.
Maybe Su Shi and Su Zizhan will make a comeback soon.
When the time comes, the two of them may still serve as ministers in the same palace.
Just as he was thinking about the past, an old official opened the door and came in and said: "Sheng Zuo, the Empress Dowager has sent the minister Shi Douzhi to the capital hall to convey the decree!"
Zhang Dun immediately stood up and asked, "Do you know what's going on with the Empress Dowager?"
"I don't know!"
"Please Shi Douzhi come in and talk!" Zhang Dun said.
Not long after, Shi Deyi arrived at Zhang Dun's palace.
Zhang Dun was still very afraid of Shi Deyi.
This big Diao Dang of the Daxing Emperor has been in charge of the Detective Department for more than ten years.
Participated in the investigation and conclusion of numerous major cases.
When Emperor Daxing was alive, when he encountered a case or something controversial between the government and the public, he would always send Shi Deyi's soldiers out to collect intelligence first.
Chen Shiru's matricide case, Chen Anmin's bribery case, Taixue fraud case, Wutai poetry case...
Shi Deyi and his followers were all active in it.
and repeatedly
Provided reliable information for Emperor Daxing's final decision.
Therefore, Zhang Dun was naturally afraid of Shi Deyi.
"You all know what's important here?" Zhang Dun asked.
"According to the decree of the Empress Dowager, I would like to ask the ministers and ministers to lead the capital to be dignified and to obey orders from the Yingyang Gate!" Zhang Dun was shocked as soon as Shi De said this.
"You are all dignified? Do you obey orders from the emperor?" Zhang Dun grasped the key point and immediately asked: "May I ask you, why does the empress dowager have such an edict?"
"But today we summoned the two national relatives Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui. We heard that the national relatives had not been sent to official positions, so we wanted to offer them official posts!" Shi Deyi said calmly: "So the Empress Dowager ordered ministers to serve as assistants. Take me with you and wait for your orders!"
After Zhang Dun heard this, his chest immediately rose violently.
"Is it because Your Majesty wanted to remove the two ministers from the country, so Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager invited Dou Zhi to come to the capital hall to convey the decree?" Zhang Dun excitedly grabbed Shi Deyi's hand and asked.
Shi Deyi still nodded calmly: "It's exactly what Sheng Zuo said!"
Zhang Dun took a deep breath.
He, Zuo Cheng, the minister, and the minister under the sect, did not come just casually.
He started by selecting people, step by step, and slowly climbed to the top of the capital.
He served as a local people-friendly official and a shogunate official.
When I was young, I was appreciated by others, rejected by others, and even beaten down by others.
He not only served as a scholar of Hanlin, but also as a poet.
He also presided over specific reforms and implementation in the Ordnance Prison.
He also served as the Third Secretary-General and was personally responsible for the world's economy and finance.
He killed and spared people, he built temples and schools, and destroyed evil temples for worship.
Therefore, he was acutely aware of something almost immediately!
Zhang Dun forced himself to calm down, then looked at Shi Deyi, cupped his hands and said, "Please wait here for a moment, I'll go get Tang Bo!"
Then Zhang Dun walked to the main hall of the imperial hall with trembling steps.
Then from Cai Que's palace, he took out the thin booklet that symbolized the power of the Song Dynasty governors.
This is Tang Bo.
Since Taizu, the country's employment of people has not been limited to one or two methods.
But generally speaking, there are two ways.
1: Careful research and selection, looking for people with mediocre talents and mediocre talents.
2: The selection and removal of the Dutang (Government Hall) halls to use extraordinary talents and to wait for those who are particularly promising is an indispensable move.
Therefore, Tangxuan and Tangzhu are called "magical creations" by people all over the world, and those who are selected by the hall are called "Taozhu".
And this thin book records the generous missions in the Song Dynasty, from the capital to the local areas.
The officials cannot or cannot interfere with these tasks.
It is decided by the governors of the Capital Hall (Government Hall)!
Therefore, officials all over the world are proud to be elected.
This is the road to promotion and the shortcut to the two mansions.
Therefore, relatives, nobles, and senior ministers are all trying their best to insert the names of their heirs into the list of candidates.
This resulted in many errands and official positions that were not originally selected by the capital, but also had to enter the capital.
In order to deal with this change, some people quickly came up with solutions.
That is to create several halls.
Separate general dispatched official positions from those that are truly national and important.
In this way, we can make good choices in selecting people without offending others.
Since then, no matter how the situation changes, this rule has always existed.
What Zhang Dun was holding in his hand now was the real book.
It records the real strengths, weaknesses and important positions among the officials in the Song Dynasty.
He held it carefully in his hand, then returned to Shi Deyi, trying to be as calm as possible
Said: "Please, Dou Zhi, lead the way!"
"please!"
