On the second day, the two palaces embraced Zhao Xu and received Zhao Xing, Lu Bing, Lu Dafang and others who had entered the capital in the Yanhe Hall.
This time, Zhao Xu said nothing.
Everything was left to the two palaces. He was just in the palace, watching the declarations of the generals and civil servants who had accompanied them to the capital handed over by Zhao Xi and Lu Bing.
Among the reports of these people, Zhao Xu found a familiar name - Uncle You Shixiong and You Jing!
Do you know why Zhao Xu insists on trying to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the brain-dead Hengqu School?
It's all because of this person!
"You Shixiong!" Zhao Xu sat upright and looked at the name.
Memories from a previous life flashed in his mind.
That was when he had just taken charge.
"Your Majesty!" The old minister, who had gray hair hanging down from his temples, stepped forward with his hands in hand: "This is the old minister's strategy for peace in the border area. I hope your Majesty will read it in total with 16 policies!"
Zhao Xu took the statement and read it carefully, feeling that it made sense.
Therefore, he was appointed as the magistrate of Hezhong Prefecture, and immediately he was appointed as the governor of Longtuge. He was promoted to the magistrate of Qinzhou and concurrently served as the general manager of the horse and infantry capital of Qinfeng Road.
And he did not live up to Zhao Xu's expectations and did an outstanding job in office.
However, it was not a holiday, and Shaosheng died in Shaanzhou in the fourth year of his tenure.
Throughout the Shaosheng-Yuanfu era, You Shixiong was the only border official appointed by Zhao Xu who had a strong color of the old party.
This is because this person is a bit too capable!
Moreover, he is hard-working and willing to do any dirty and hard work.
So much so that he became ill due to overwork and died of illness before taking office in Shaanzhou.
At one point, Zhao Xu was left muttering—what was he trying to do?
It wasn't until You Shixiong's suicide note was delivered to Zhao Xu that Zhao Xu knew that he was after the knowledge of Guangda Nai Shi Zhang Zai!
However, it was impossible for Zhao Xu to agree to him at that time.
Wang Anshi's new learning was the true learning of a saint and the way to govern the country in the eyes of Zhao Xu at that time!
Any other school of thought must be subordinate to Wang Anshi's new school.
Besides, at that time, Zhao Xu had no idea who Zhang Zai was!
Now, Zhao Xu returns to his youth and meets his old friends again.
He laughed inwardly.
"You Shixiong..."
He looked at You Shixiong's current official position: Judge of the Economic Strategy Department of Huanqing Road!
This assignment belongs to the senior staff of the Economic and Strategy Department, which is roughly similar to modern senior staff officers and full-time secretaries.
Generally speaking, it is up to the military envoys to recruit new people on their own, and neither the capital nor the officials will interfere - unless the economic envoy himself expresses that he really cannot find a suitable candidate, then the imperial court will appoint him.
Of course, not just any cat or dog can serve.
At least he must be a civil servant and an official in the capital to be able to force him to dispatch.
If you want to be a official, you have to be a court official.
You Shixiong's official salary officer now happens to be Tongzhilang, the eighth-grade official, the lowest rank in the imperial court.
Zhao Xu looked at Gao Shen, who was promoted through Zhao Xunzhuo last year.
In addition, one of the letters of recommendation for You Shixiong's promotion to the capital was also written by Zhao Xi.
Therefore, the relationship between You Shixiong and Zhao Xi is very unusual!
Seeing this, Zhao Xu already had an idea.
He looked towards the corner of the crowd in the hall, the strong man who looked like Hei Buliuqiu and Wu Chen.
The pen in his hand has been lifted.
He added a line below You Shixiong's confession.
Then put it away and put it away,
…
After retreating from the court, Zhao Xu followed the two palaces back to Baoci Palace.
The Empress Dowager saw that Zhao Xu was holding a piece of Zhongshu paper specially made by Zhongshu. This kind of paper had only one purpose - to write the official's personal confession.
Generally speaking, each official's personal confession consists of seven pieces of medium silk paper.
The most important piece of paper will be written on the assignment, the date of conferring the official position, the person who conferred the title, and the person who signed the document (if the person is selected to change the official position in the capital, the official positions, names, and times of the five leaders will also be written).
Obviously, Zhao Xu was holding such a piece of paper.
"Why did the official come back with an official's suicide note?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
The Queen Mother also looked over curiously.
Zhao Xu put the paper in his hand in front of the two palaces and said: "My grandson was bored, so he tried to learn the format of the Zhongshu and imitated the formalities of the petition..."
"Oh..." Queen Mother Xiang smiled, took the piece of paper and looked at it.
Then, she knew that this was the confession of a minor official named You Shixiong.
The last assignment he sent was the Huanqing Road Economic and Strategy Judge Zhao Xingpi.
The official who sent the salary was just a Tongzhilang.
In terms of age, he is a bit older, already forty-eight years old!
The forty-eight-year-old court minister has no hope of being promoted to the waiter system in his life just by grinding and surveying.
As for civil servants who are not at the level of waiting to be appointed, it is basically impossible for them to have the opportunity to act in front of the emperor.
Therefore, she didn't take it to heart, and even read the words Zhao Xu wrote on the notice with appreciation.
Zhao Xu's handwriting is easy to recognize.
Because he always writes in Guange regular script, his writing is regular but his handwriting is very shallow.
"Your Majesty, Sixth Brother's handwriting is getting better and better!" After reading it, Empress Dowager Xiang said to the Empress Dowager: "Even the format of the official documents of Zhongshu Province is very good!"
The Queen Mother took it and read the last paragraph of text on the paper.
I couldn’t help but nod, the format is indeed impeccable!
Then she smiled and read softly: "Report: Tongzhilang, You Shixiong, the military judge of Huanqing Road, has the power to send Xihe Lanhui Road official business, and also knows Xizhou!"
The words that Zhao Xu wrote next made the Empress Dowager burst into laughter: "I entrust Zhang Xuan, the Minister of Public Affairs, to the letter, and I will carry it out to the letter!"
Queen Mother Xiang also laughed.
After the two palaces finished laughing, they both realized the same problem.
What should I do if I sue myself?
Empress Dowager Xiang took Zhao Xu's hand and asked, "Why did Sixth Brother suddenly remember that he wanted to write a confession to the officials?"
Zhao Xu replied: "I'm just curious...and...after looking at You Shixiong's confession resume, I thought it was pretty good, so I just wanted to write it down for fun..."
The two palaces looked at each other.
Then, Empress Dowager Xiang said to Zhao Xu: "Sixth brother, from now on, you can no longer write casually on official reports!"
"It should be noted that the emperor is not allowed to make jokes, let alone words written on paper!"
Zhao Xu nodded and said obediently: "Mother, my son has remembered it!"
He turned back to the Empress Dowager and said, "My dear, Sixth Brother is the Emperor, so you have no words to say, let alone the words that fall on Gao."
"Why not, how about appointing this official as the magistrate of Xizhou according to Sixth Brother's approval?"
The Empress Dowager held the petition in her hand and looked at it carefully. She found that this official had a rich resume and was selected from the sea of elections!
There is no such thing as a simple person!
There are tens of thousands of candidates in the Song Dynasty!
But every year, only twenty or thirty people can escape from the election!
These people, if they are still young, can basically make a career.
The most famous one is Fan Wenzhenggong from the Renmiao era!
So, he had no objection, nodded and said: "Just follow the Queen Mother's advice!"
The two palaces then ordered people to send this petition to the Zhongshu Province, and handed it into the hands of Zhang Hong, who was instructed by Zhao Xu. Remove the edict to complete the emperor's special order to remove the award!
Note: When a candidate in the Northern Song Dynasty reaches the pinnacle of the so-called court officials, such as the Three Capital Judges and the Jiedu Observation and Recommendation Officers, there is an impediment law that prohibits him from continuing to advance. He needs to collect recommendation letters from five chiefs or obtain Only with the emperor's special decree can one change his official position. After changing his official position, he becomes a Beijing official. A special decree is required for a Beijing official to be promoted to a court official, and the same is true for the promotion of a court official.
