Zhang Hong has been running around throughout Kaifeng Mansion recently.
Mainly in accordance with the wishes of the Right Prime Minister Han Jiang, he sent his officials to the homes of those households and asked door to door - what do the elders think about the draft law/exemption law?
Highlight a person who is cautious and courteous to others.
Finally, we visited hundreds of households in the Gyeonggi area.
Received responses from various households.
Most people speak very nicely.
It's just that once money matters are involved, they start to complain about poverty.
In particular, the heads of the major guilds in Bianjing city wanted to tell Zhang Hong - we are all going to eat chaffy vegetables!
Zhang Hong naturally didn’t believe any of them!
Because, not long ago, someone in these families married the county lord and returned home.
That gift money is so generous!
A county head is willing to give two thousand guan as a betrothal gift! Some county heads even asked for a betrothal gift of three thousand guan!
You know, last year it was only about 1,500 yuan!
The clan members all made a fortune as a result!
However, these people have great influence!
The relationship with the clan members is also very close - in this Gyeonggi province, which family does not have a county horse?
Those top Shezhe families can even kneel down the county horse in the ancestral hall every year when they worship their ancestors.
Therefore, Zhang Hong knew that he was still busy!
It was finally possible to go back to the capital hall to rest today, but he didn't have time to breathe yet.
A declaration of identity was delivered to him from the palace.
"What is this?" Zhang Hong looked at it in confusion.
"The Emperor specially decrees that this official should be exempted!" Liang Congzheng, the big figure next to the Empress Dowager, said with a smile: "The Cishengs of the two palaces are also correct! Please ignore Zoe's decree and act!"
Zhang Hong blinked and then looked at Gao Shen in front of him.
The text written by the emperor himself is still easy to identify.
Zhang Hong bowed his hands in the direction of Da Nei Funing Palace: "I respectfully obey your will!"
Then, he asked Liang Congzheng in a low voice: "Liang Yaban... what's going on...?"
There are natural procedures for the emperor's special decree to be issued, and it will never be a casual writing of the decree on the official's official body.
There is special paper for special purposes, which is special silk paper with dragon patterns woven with gold threads on it.
Liang Congzheng said: "You don't need to ask too many questions, just obey the order!"
Zhang Hong nodded thoughtfully and sent Liang Congzheng away. He looked at the official who was complaining.
"You Shixiong..."
"A Tong Nao-ro..."
"What good luck!"
He could almost make some guesses.
Tongzhilang was the magistrate of Xizhou, and he was the magistrate of Xizhou where the Xihe Road Administration Office was located. Even if Quan was sent, it would be very reluctant!
After thinking about it, Zhang Hong took this complaint and went to Right Minister Han Jiang to tell Han Jiang about the matter.
After Han Jiang listened, he looked at the official handwriting on the suit.
He narrowed his eyes: "You Shixiong..."
"I remember, this boy is Zhang Hengqu's student, right?"
Zhang Hong's brows twitched, and he remembered that the officials once said good things about Lu Dafang in front of the two palaces.
The original words seem to be - this great Confucian disciple must be a gentleman and an upright person.
so……
Do the officials have a special affection for Hengqu's disciples?
Zhang Hong didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.
He could only raise his hands and ask, "Mr. sir, what should I do about this matter?"
"This You Shixiong is just Tongzhilang, and Quan Faqian can't know how to go through the Si Zhizong all the way!"
Generally speaking, if you want to serve as the magistrate of the military state where the economic and strategic administration is located, even if it is Quanfa sent, one Tongzhilang is not enough, far from enough, at least two more levels!
Han Jiang suddenly laughed and said to Zhang Hong: "The emperor's special purpose is to eliminate the awards. This is the method of selecting talents through superior selection! How can we follow the rules?!"
A few days ago, the young master gave Lu Xizhe a special decree to give him a Jinshi background, and gave his secretary the title of Shengzheng, the title of Chengwu Lang.
When someone becomes an official, he becomes a Beijing official!
Who can compare?
Moreover, You Shixiong is already forty-eight years old, and he knows his destiny immediately.
Looking at his resume, he has held various positions at local, county, military, and state levels, and he has performed very well!
The emperor specially decreed that such a person should be exalted, and no one would gossip.
Han Jiang then said: "Send me a letter and ask him to be promoted to court minister!"
Zhang Hong thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so he asked him to be promoted to Shi Xiongwei and Feng Lang.
The two palaces naturally have edicts.
On the same day, the relevant documents were delivered to Yang Jinglue, the official of Zhongshu. After Yang Jinglue drafted the official edict, he sent it to Menxia Province, where Lu Dian saw that it was the emperor's special order and signed it directly.
…
"Edict: I have an official tour and a military hero. In the administration of border counties, military and food are the first priority. The responsibilities of the county guard include both civil and military affairs. I have selected you for your talents and are famous for your reputation! Although I have recruited people from far away, I do not ask for merit from the frontier; you should accumulate When you train troops in the valley, you will always be like a bandit. If you lead them to surrender, you will go to Qin!"
"Yes! He was promoted to be a minister of the imperial court, and he was sent to Xihelanhui Road for official duties, and he was informed of Xizhou!"
You Shixiong was completely confused.
He knelt on the ground, listened to the minister's reading, and hurriedly thanked him again.
Until he received the imperial edict, he was still in a daze. He couldn't believe that this legendary story of the emperor's extraordinary promotion would happen to him!
Everyone around him came to congratulate him.
Not long after, his old boss Zhao Xi came in person to congratulate him and said, "Uncle Jing has been surpassed by the young master this time. It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"
"I've known for a long time that Uncle Jing's talent will definitely be put to use!"
Zhao Xi's arrival was naturally not just a congratulation.
I also came here to play front station.
The manager of Xihe Lanhui Road has been vacant for three months.
Zhao Xi really wants to compete for this position! He also thought that if he went to Xihe, he would take You Shixiong there and continue to be his strategic judge and assist him.
Unexpectedly, You Shixiong was specially promoted to Xihe Road by the emperor in the capital.
Moreover, he is an official of Xihe Lanhui Road and the magistrate of Xizhou!
This is an extremely critical position!
If he, Zhao Xi, is worshiped as the commander-in-chief of Xihe again, then Zhao Xi believes that with the help of You Shixiong, he will definitely achieve great things!
Maybe there will be a chance to enter three provinces and two prefectures!
You Shixiong was still confused, although he knew that this was the young master's special promotion.
But he had no idea why he was being looked at by the young master?
You Shixiong thought about it seriously. In his life, he and Emperor Daxing were only led to worship twice in the Zichen Hall during the year when they were transferred to the capital. They looked at the holy face from a distance and listened to the great news. The emperor said: I am safe.
Apart from this, he had no contact with Emperor Daxing.
Therefore, it cannot be the entrustment of Emperor Daxing...
So why did the young master specifically promote me? Is it really random? impossible! Absolutely impossible!
But what is the reason?
You Shixiong was puzzled.
Regardless of this, Zhao Xing took You Shixiong into the official residence and started talking to him about Xihe.
…
Zhao Xu was in Baoci Palace that day. After dinner with the two palaces, he was about to say goodbye and return to Funing Palace.
When he was saying goodbye, the Empress Dowager suddenly said: "Brother Six, come to Baoci Palace tomorrow afternoon!"
Zhao Xu nodded: "My grandson knows!"
He knew in his heart what he was being asked to do?
It's nothing more than witnessing the two palaces choosing their adopted daughters.
Zhao Xu doesn't really want to interfere in this kind of thing - unless he really sees someone who matches his aesthetics.
It's not that he was lustful - in his previous life and when he was studying abroad, he had tasted all kinds of beauties.
Now Zhao Xu's threshold is a bit high.
She is not the kind of beauty with unique charm and characteristics, so Zhao Xu is not interested.
Back in Funing Palace, Shi Deyi was already waiting for him.
When Zhao Xu saw him, he asked Feng Jing to guard him outside and led Shi Deyi into the curtain of the sleeping hall of Funing Hall.
"Everyone, I have ordered the soldiers to sneak into Dutingyi..." Shi Deyi reported in a low voice: "Through inquiring with the entourage of the Northern Envoys, we have basically obtained some information about the four Northern Envoys... …”
Then he put down the paper and respectfully presented it in his hand.
Zhao Xu reached out and took it, using the bright light in Funing Hall, to look at it carefully.
The rough details and rough experiences of Yeluju, Wang Shiru, Xiao Jie, and Guo Zhaoyuan in the Liao Kingdom were revealed in front of Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at it and smiled.
"Good!" He put down the paperwork and praised: "Detective Department, please keep up your efforts!"
"I understand!" Shi De bowed.
Zhao Xu said: "If there is an opportunity to develop one or two people from the mission who are willing to correspond and report to me... that would be the best!"
"I know!" Shi Deyi lowered his head and said.
Then, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Xu, and said: "Everyone, You Shixiong has received the decree, and he will be promoted to the imperial court!"
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
He deliberately didn't write promotion on You Shixiong's notice to see the capital's reaction.
Now it seems that the governors of the capital, especially Zhang Hong, are sensible and are indeed his loyal ministers. They know how to take the initiative to share the king's worries and fill in the gaps!
And the work was done very quickly, and the teaching was completed in half a day!
So Zhao Xu silently gave Zhang Hong an extra point in his heart.
