In the seventh month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Guisi Shuo was the day when hundreds of officials lived together.
Zhao Xu did not go as usual and slept in the Funing Hall.
When I woke up, the sun was almost hitting my butt.
Quickly wash up, have breakfast, and then go for a jog in the garden.
Yes, now Zhao Xu has gradually started running in the morning, of course, in order to take care of his body and give his lungs enough time to buffer, repair and develop.
Generally speaking, it takes about five minutes, which is about jogging around the imperial garden corridor behind Funing Hall.
After running, Zhao Xu sat on a stone bench and panted.
He could feel that his body was getting healthier.
Subcutaneous fat and muscles are slowly increasing. Compared with when he woke up in Qingning Palace, he has now gained thirteen pounds and is no longer thin. There is obviously flesh on his face and body.
My height has also grown by almost three inches (about 10CM), and I am now close to four feet (about 126cm)!
However, it's not enough!
Zhao Xu knows that many eight-year-old children in modern times can grow to 1.4 meters.
Therefore, nutrition cannot be stopped, nor can calcium supplementation be stopped.
While Zhao Xu was resting, Feng Jing came to him and wiped Zhao Xu's sweat with a silk cloth while saying: "Everyone, many people in the daily life are impeaching the Central Secretary today..."
Zhao Xu maintained his usual silence.
Feng Jing continued to report: "The Jiaozhi tribute envoy from Dutingyi left Beijing yesterday!"
"I heard that Yang Jingwen, deputy envoy of Jiaozhi, had some conflicts with the doctor of the Ministry of Rites when he left Beijing..."
"Oh!" Zhao Xu finally said: "The deputy envoy of the vassal state dares to bark in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the superior state?"
"What does the Ministry of Rites do for food? Why don't you go to the memorial?!"
Feng Jing lowered his head and said: "It is said that Mr. Han, the Minister of Rites, does not want to cause trouble..."
Zhao Xu chuckled.
This is indeed what officials of the Song Dynasty would do. When in trouble, they would shrink their heads and bury them in the sand and pretend that nothing happened!
However, everyone knows that doing so will only embolden the enemy!
but……
What is strong is the courage of the Cochin people! ?
That’s okay!
Zhao Xu hoped that the Jiaozhi people would take the initiative to provoke and even send troops to invade!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "The deputy envoy's name is Yang Jingwen, right?"
Feng Dingding nodded.
"Good!" Zhao Xu commented.
The Yang family is a wealthy family in northern Jiaozhi!
If Zhao Xu remembers correctly, in the north of Jiaozhi, Yang Jingtong, who is almost like a vassal town, once robbed Guangxi border residents during the Yuanyou era.
Then during the Shaosheng era, Zhao Xu sent troops to violently beat him in revenge.
So, that Yang Jingwen is Yang Jingtong’s clansman, or even his brother?
More fun!
"Tell Shi Deyi!" Zhao Xu ordered: "Select warriors from the Detective Department and go to Guihua Prefecture on Guangnan West Road to get information. If there are any Jiaozhi bandits, report them to Bianjing!"
"Yes!" Feng Jing accepted the order and was about to do it.
Zhao Xu stopped him: "Tell Shi Deyi that the reward must be enough!"
"Warriors who are willing to go will receive a monthly salary plus twenty guan feet!"
"If he dies unfortunately, he can be given an official position and his descendants can be appointed as personal followers of the imperial army!"
This is the iron rice bowl!
The Great Song Dynasty kept the Imperial City's Imperial Army well. Even if the Imperial Army was old, lost their labor force, and had no relatives to support them, Zhao Xu would support them.
The imperial city's marriage officials, personal servants, and dragon-controllers all had a residual army command structure to accommodate these people.
Almost complete welfare coverage from cradle to grave!
Therefore, after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he no longer worried about anyone who could threaten his position.
All the relatives, subordinates, and dragon officials in the entire imperial city are his people!
Absolutely obey orders and follow orders!
In his previous life, as soon as Zhao Xu came into power, he carried out a purge of the entire empire.
Song Yongchen, Liu Weijian and others took Zhao Xu's edict and read it to these people. They all immediately defected and obeyed the emperor's edict.
Even now, to be honest, as long as Zhao Xu issues an edict, these people will obey!
Because they have been completely tamed by the imperial power, and only their loyalty to Zhao Guan's family remains!
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these people may be the worst in the entire Song Dynasty.
no way.
You can't make a feudal army achieve these three things at the same time: absolute loyalty, strong combat effectiveness, and strict military discipline.
At most, you can only do two of them.
The Imperial City Forbidden Army gave up their combat effectiveness in exchange for absolute loyalty and strict military discipline.
…
In the next few days, a big split began within Yushitai.
Almost all the censors began to criticize Huang Lu.
This put Huang Lu under great pressure!
Huang Lu's close confidant, the censor Huang Jiang, was deposed as an official in Shouzhou on the seventh day of the seventh month (the third day of the lunar month).
Huang Jiang was sent to inspect the Salt Law on Jiangxi Road and was replaced by Zhang Ruxian, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.
At the same time, another minister joined the Yushitai.
On the fourth day of Bingshen (the fourth day of the lunar month), Sun Juejia, the doctor and secretary of the imperial eunuch, served as a lecturer.
This also comes from the recommendation of Lu Gongzhu.
As soon as Sun Jue took office, he immediately impeached Huang Lu.
The new party censors who were originally in the censor's office also began to rebel and impeach Huang Lulian.
Huang Lu had no choice but to impeach himself and express his loyalty: I am not reluctant to leave, but I care about the kindness of Emperor Daxing and beg to stay in Beijing until the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing is completed before resigning.
At the same time, he announced that he was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, which was considered as bowing his head and admitting defeat.
Huang Lu felt that if he did this, he should be praised, right?
Facts have proved that he thought too much!
Dingyou (the fifth day of the lunar month).
The right prime minister, Han Jiang, led the governors of the capital, officials above the imperial court, clan members, and military officials to the southern suburbs of the social altar to pray to God.
So, Deng Runfu immediately reported: I asked Heaven to give him a posthumous title, and God gave me the title: English Liewu Shengxiao, and the emperor's temple said: Shenzong.
The edict of the two palaces: I respectfully obey it!
Just like that, on the main tablet of the Zan Palace God in Jinling Palace, there were suddenly more words: Emperor Song Ying Ying Lie Wu Sheng Xiao Emperor's God's Table.
Don’t ask, it’s a gift from God!
I, the Great Song Dynasty, have truly received the destiny and become the orthodoxy of the world!
However, unfortunately, the emperors of Daliao also felt that they were the orthodox ones destined by destiny.
If you don’t believe it, you can go and see the skeleton of the black dragon that Taizu himself shot and killed enshrined in Emperor Taizu’s underground palace!
You can also look through the various auspicious records of Taizu's birth: divine light belongs to the sky, strange fragrance fills the air, dreams are inspired by gods, and dragons and xijin are worn!
These are all things everyone knows.
Of course, both the Liao and Song dynasties would basically not mention these things in their diplomatic exchanges to avoid causing trouble.
The people in power in both countries now want to rely on the wisdom of future generations.
Only Zhao Xu didn't want to rely on the wisdom of future generations.
After the Ying Liwu Shengxiao Emperor returned to the throne, the next day on Wuxu Day (the sixth day of the Lunar New Year), the Yushitai once again concentrated on impeaching the Yushi Zhongcheng Huang Lu.
Zuo Si admonished Liu Zhi, and even publicly called Huang Lu a "treacherous and rebellious minister", believing that his continued love affair was entirely because he had "unpredictable intentions" in his heart.
Other censors followed suit.
Huang Lu finally couldn't bear the pressure and went to court to appeal to the county.
Note: Zhongcheng, the censor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was also known as Zhongsi.
Note 2: Yang Jingtong was the governor of Liangzhou in the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi and the Jiedu envoy of Guangyuan Silang and other states. He was a veritable vassal town! He was also the frontline military leader facing the Northern Song Dynasty.
The official positions and systems in Jiaozhi at this time basically followed the Tang system.
