March Yimao (twenty-two).
The ministers of the two palaces recommended the ministers who were good at caring for the people, especially those who were able to take charge of one side.
On the same day, under the instruction of the Queen Mother.
The conversation between her and Zhao Xu in the Funing Palace was quickly spread throughout Bianjing through her own dictation to the ministers of the three provinces, the ministers of the six ministries, and the soldiers under Shi De.
Suddenly, everyone in Bianjing was praising him.
Everyone began to imagine the wonderful life that a small official would have in the future when he grew up and took charge!
At such a young age, he already knew that the people are the foundation of the country. The principle of "building national security".
He actually set an example.
Even if we talk about abolishing the market change law and losing money, the emperor's will will still be carried out.
Then, the Department of Purchasing the Embankment intends to stop Jingdong from questioning the law, and proposes that the horses of Jingdong horse farmers be taken back by the government, and those who are willing to continue to raise them will be converted into private horses and sold to the horse breeders at a price of 27,000. household……
Putting these things together, it is easy for the people of Bianjing to build an image of a kind and smart young official in their minds.
However, they don't need to use their own brains to think.
Just reawaken the memory of the same young man who came to the throne decades ago, the same kind and smart official.
And it just so happens that the official is also ranked sixth!
As a result, Zhao Xu's reputation and popularity began to rise, both at the top and bottom.
The small merchants and hawkers recalled the memory of the Renmiao era, when they could do business casually without the government taking care of it. They all felt relieved and felt that they had hope for life!
The big merchants and nobles are even more satisfied.
These people all set their sights on the capital halls of the three provinces.
The emperor is so benevolent, why do the three provinces have ministers and act so slowly?
Relatives and clan members began to enter the palace in an endless stream.
The Gao family and the Xiang family were held in high esteem by all the stars.
Therefore, under the pressure exerted by relatives and clan members, and also under the pressure of public opinion that Beke harmed the people on Jingdong Road, on Bingchen day (23rd), the capital meeting finally decided to abolish the market change law and change the market. The tax affairs were merged into the Metropolitan Taxation Bureau on the spot, but the exemption law was still retained (the result hinted by Zhao Xu).
Although the law of equal loss has not been abolished, no measures have been taken to deal with the loans and interest owed to the market over the years.
But when the news came out, the whole city cheered!
Because the market transaction law was struck down, it meant that the purchase of the stacking yards, yard services, and warehouses of the Embankment Department was imminent.
Money is expensive in Bianjing for a while!
As a result, prices plummeted!
Because all the powerful merchants are trying their best to clear out their accumulated goods in exchange for cash flow so that they can buy more stacking yards.
Accumulating a large amount of supplies and flooding the market in a short period of time will naturally lead to falling prices.
For this reason, people in Bianjing praised Zhao Xu more and more.
Because whether it is public opinion or legend, it is believed that it is precisely because of the kindness of the young master that the good situation is now!
In the court hall, on Bingchen day, ministers from the three provinces jointly presented the court etiquette during the emperor's filial piety - during the emperor's state funeral, ministers can change the day and month, but the heirs, princes, princesses and concubines who are filial sons cannot.
The three-year filial piety period still needs to be observed.
Therefore, in the next three years, both Zhao Xu and Queen Mother Xiang will still have to observe filial piety.
There should be no singing and dancing in the palace. On the death and birthday of the great emperor, fasting, memorial service and mourning are required.
At the same time, courtiers are not allowed to dance to express their congratulations on any occasion.
All that's left is the hearing process.
After discussions with Yusi, the etiquette for listening to government was finally settled.
First of all, the ministers respectfully requested Zhao Xu to move his throne from the east of the palace to the north of the palace.
Then, considering that the Empress Dowager needed to take care of the heir, the ministers respectfully asked the two palaces to sit on both sides of the curtain behind the Emperor's throne, with the Empress Dowager's throne on the left and the Empress Dowager's throne on the right.
The ministers also submitted their documents at the same time and began to restore the normal etiquette process of government affairs.
Basically, it means lowering the tone or changing the etiquette based on the past system.
Generally speaking, normal listening to government affairs and deliberation are maintained.
Of course, as a filial son, you are not allowed to participate in the monthly Shuoshen and Wangshen festivals from now on. This is called not sitting.
But the ministers still had to go to Chongzheng Hall and Zichen Hall in separate groups to salute the empty emperor's throne.
The two palaces saw the book and replied: Yes.
So the next day, Wuwu Day (24th), all the ministers entered the palace hand in hand and went to the Yingyang Gate to respectfully invite the emperor to enter the main hall and the imperial palaces of the two palaces to listen to the government.
Naturally, he was rejected on the spot.
But the ministers persevered and submitted three petitions before the two palaces agreed.
March Yiwei day (twenty-fifth).
With the support of the two palaces, Zhao Xu listened to politics in the imperial palace of Chongzheng Palace for the first time.
This time in the imperial palace, almost all the new kings came to the throne and granted rewards, favors, posthumous titles, and additional titles.
First of all, of course, the prime minister must be promoted to a higher position!
Then the two imperial uncles were granted the title of King Yong, King Hao of Yong, King of Yang, and King Jia, King of Jing.
Then Gao Zunfu, the biological father of the Empress Dowager, gave it to King Lu posthumously and avoided the name of King Lu.
The Empress Dowager Xiang's biological father Xiang Jing posthumously presented it to the Prince of Xingyang County. Some officials asked him to avoid it, but the Empress Dowager refused.
Immediately afterwards came the titles and favors given to the senior ministers.
There were so many titles, favors, and posthumous gifts that the court meeting lasted until the afternoon before everything was finally read out one by one.
At this time, a serious matter was finally brought to the court.
In February, a fire in Gongyuan burned most of the test papers, and the Ministry of Rites requested to try again at a different date.
This matter is actually just a formality, because it has been decided in several previous political hearings.
Therefore, the two palaces issued an edict and agreed to conduct another rites examination in April.
At the same time, a new Gongju leadership team was appointed.
General Xu, the minister of the Ministry of War, replaced Li Ding and took the post of Zhi Gong Ju. He was assigned to Lu Dian, the secretary and young eunuch Sun Jue, who was also the Zhi Gong Ju.
The ministers whose names were called naturally went out to take orders.
At this time, Zhao Xu finally looked intently at the palace.
His eyes stayed on Lu Dian for a moment.
Lu Dian has a great grandson!
Lu You Lu Fang Weng!
What a pity!
However, there should be a chance to meet in this life!
Now that the tribute matter is over, it's time to move on to military affairs.
Yousi requested that in the name of Emperor Daxing, Dong Fei, a vassal of the Song Dynasty in the northwest, be rewarded with an official title.
The two palaces naturally agreed and issued an edict to put Li Xian in charge of this matter. There were not many people in the Song Dynasty who were proficient in Tubo writing, and Li Xian was one of them.
After this incident, the lengthy court meeting came to an end.
After hinting to the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu stood up and, in the name of the emperor, gave meals to the ministers participating in the court meeting.
…
After giving the food, Zhao Xu returned to the palace with the two palaces.
As soon as he returned to Funing Hall, Zhao Xu, who was tired for a day, could no longer hold on. Under the service of the female officer, he went to the royal bed to rest.
It was already night when I woke up.
And in front of his bed, Shi Deyi's figure appeared in front of him.
This is what Zhao Xu ordered Feng Jing to do after the incident on Jingdong Road broke out.
Every night, he would see Shi Deyi.
this is very simple!
Because Shi Deyi is now the most trusted minister around the Empress Dowager.
There is no problem for him in entering and exiting Funing Hall and Kunning Hall.
As a spy leader, Shi Deyi is good at avoiding the attention of others.
"Everyone..." Seeing Zhao Xu wake up, Shi De immediately squatted in front of Zhao Xu's bed.
"How's it going?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Yesterday, the people led by Shilang Li arrived at the Jingdong Road Dujian Envoy Office..."
"When Shilang Li arrived, the miners from Laiwu Prison on Jingdong Road had already surrounded the transfer envoy's office..."
"Thousands of miners are shouting: Mr. Wu Dun will be thrown into the furnace!"
"Thanks to the timely arrival of Minister Li, no accident occurred... Otherwise, the country would have had its first envoy killed by civil riots..."
Zhao Xu listened quietly without any surprise.
What Wu Juhou did on Jingdong Road was worth it!
"What's the discussion about Li Ding in Bianjing City?" Zhao Xu asked.
"There are people in the tiles, Goulan and night markets in the city who say: Minister Li is a loyal and outspoken person in the dynasty!"
"Some people are even saying: Senior Li, Bao Longtu is resurrected!"
Zhao Xu finally laughed after listening.
"Bao Longtu?"
"He deserves it!"
Bao Zheng and Bao Longtu lived a life of integrity and integrity, with a breeze on their sleeves.
He can criticize the emperor when he is above, but he can scold the prime minister when he is below.
The key point is that his scoldings are justified. Those who have been criticized by him can only bow their heads in shame and reflect on themselves.
In the early stages of his life, Li Ding was probably still a capable official.
But the Wutai Poetry Case fascinated his eyes and made him path dependent.
From then on, it was on the road of no return.
Now, regardless of Wang Anshi's kindness, he was the first to lift the lid on Jingdong Road.
Do you really think others don’t know about Jingdong Road?
Zhang Dun and Li Qingchen had known it for a long time, but they just saw through it without saying anything.
In Zhao Xu's previous life, Zhang Dun cited the example of Jingdong Road many times, reminding Zhao Xu that every copper plate paid by some local officials was likely to be stained with blood!
Therefore, people who make a lot of money are not the most powerful.
It also depends on the person's means of making money.
"Add some fire!" Zhao Xu said softly: "Fire cooks oil to make people crazy!"
"Wei!" Shi Deyi bowed his head deeply.
He looked at the young emperor who had just woken up less than three steps in front of him.
He knew that after meeting the young master for the first time that day, Shi Deyi could smell it.
It tastes almost like Emperor Daxing!
He knew that this master was by no means the benevolent official and the Son of Heaven as imagined by outsiders.
…
As a result, that night, the discussion about Li Ding suddenly increased in Bianjing City.
Many people compare him to Bao Zheng in the Renmiao era, or even to a figure like Fan Wenzhenggong.
The five hundred soldiers in the Detective Department are like five hundred mosquitoes flying into those tiles, theaters and night markets.
They buzzed with stories about Li Ding's defiance of the powerful, and told stories about Li Ding's petitions for the people.
Although people in Bianjing are doubtful, after all, Li Ding's behavior of jumping up and down over the Wutai Poetry Case for fear of Su Shi's death is still fresh in everyone's memory.
However, public opinion is like this sometimes.
It’s not that justice prevails in people’s minds, but whoever has the loudest voice will have the advantage!
Therefore, by dawn, Li Ding's name has been completely known in Bianjing!
As a result, the Li family was shocked to find that the male head of their family seemed to have suddenly become a world-famous upright official, a representative of integrity and service to the people, and a representative of the people.
Honest officials admit it.
But what does serving the public and asking for orders for the people mean?
However, this does not prevent the Li family from being complacent about this, nor does it prevent the government and the public from following public opinion and praising Li Ding.
I will post the list, order and rewards of those who will be promoted to rank or title on Yiwei Day.
