When the capital's familiar notes were delivered to the palace, Zhao Xu was accompanying the two palaces and returning from an inspection of Qingshou Palace.
The Qingshou Palace project has been basically completed.
The Queen Mother can probably move in before the New Year.
On the Queen Mother's side, the renovation of Baoci Palace will begin immediately.
After the two palaces saw the familiar situation, they thought about it to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Mother, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion should be Sixth Brother's family affairs. It is better to let Sixth Brother handle the matters related to Kaifeng Mansion in the future. Bar?"
The Queen Mother naturally knew what the Queen Mother meant - they had discussed it privately in the past few days.
Kaifeng Mansion, since Taizu, has been the place where the prince manages government and studies when he comes of age.
Both Taizong and Zhenmiao were Yin of Kaifeng. They thought they were close to the people and personally handled matters inside and outside Kaifeng, accumulating experience and team members.
However, after Zhenmiao, there was no adult crown prince anymore - Renmiao was only thirteen years old before he ascended the throne and was unable to handle government affairs at all. Yingmiao and the late emperor both hurriedly appointed crown princes before they ascended the throne.
Today's situation is similar to that of Renmiao, both of them are Emperor Yunchong, but they are different.
Today's officials have won the respect and trust of both the government and the public through their performance in the past six months since they took office.
No one doubts the level of government affairs of this young emperor.
Therefore, leaving matters related to Kaifeng Mansion completely to his disposal is a good thing for both palaces!
First, it can express to the government and the public that when the emperor comes of age, he will return to power.
Lest some people down there gossip, even doubt and speculate, and even some people will use this to drive a wedge between the heavenly family in the future!
The second is to hand over the Kaifeng Mansion to him, so that he can gradually become familiar with state affairs, and slowly accumulate a group of trusted officials and team, so that when he takes office in the future, he can use his trusted ministers as soon as possible.
We don’t have to start from scratch like Yingmiao and the late Emperor.
So much so that some ministers dared to say bluntly in front of the king: I can handle the affairs of Yi and Huo!
The third is that even if something goes wrong, the harm will only be in Kaifeng Mansion and can be corrected in time.
These principles have already been hinted to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
The people around the Empress Dowager, especially the ladies of the Gao family, also said a few words in front of her.
Therefore, the Queen Mother just smiled and said: "What the Queen Mother said is very suitable for me!"
Then he looked at Zhao Xu and said: "From now on, in the Kaifeng Mansion, all matters, big and small, will be reported to the officials first, and let the officials make decisions. If the officials are unsure, they will discuss it with me and the Queen Mother... The officials feel May I?"
Zhao Xu immediately stood up, thanked him and said, "Sun Chen respectfully obeys the loving orders of the great mother and the empress!"
Both palaces laughed.
He smiled happily at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager's laughter was somewhat bitter.
She knew it and understood it in her heart.
As this grandson gets older, he behaves more and more maturely.
The hearts of people in both the government and the public have gradually returned to the country.
A few days ago, on the official festival, the relatives and subordinates of the Imperial City Division came to congratulate him one after another.
The palace commander Yanda, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army Miao Shuo, and the commanders of the bodyguards also sent congratulations.
Even Liu Changzuo, the strategic pacifier of Yanzhou who was far away in Yanzhou, Yao Si, the military commander of Jingyuan Road, Wang Wenyu, the military commander of Xihe Road, etc., all came forward one after another to express their congratulations.
This means that the emperor’s wings are full!
The military spirit is attached!
As for the scholar-bureaucrats?
The Empress Dowager knew that even those scholars in the opposition had long been praising the virtuous, intelligent, benevolent and filial officials.
The only thing that pleased the Queen Mother was that her grandson was really filial.
For many things, even if she didn't ask, the other party would take the initiative to report and ask for instructions. Only after asking her and the Queen Mother would they actually issue an edict.
This kind of detail processing really made her feel comfortable and respected.
as expected!
Just listen to the official saying: "However, Sun Chen is still young, and I am afraid that for many important matters in Kaifeng Mansion, I have to ask my mother-in-law and queen mother to protect, support, teach and guide him!"
The Queen Mother finally smiled happily and said: "If the official family has something to do in the future, you can directly come to the Mother and Queen Mother to discuss it!"
The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded.
Therefore, the two palaces immediately took Zhao Xu to the Jiying Hall and summoned Deng Runfu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to accept the order.
Deng Runfu was ordered to draw up the imperial edict. The emperor was known to be intelligent and virtuous, and the story of his ancestors was known as the prince and Kaifeng pastor. There is nothing better than letting the emperor start from Kaifeng Mansion.
He ordered Cai Jing, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Shiliang, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, Hu Ji, the promotion officer of Kaifeng Prefecture, Fan Xun, the official affairs officer of the counties and towns in the borders of Kaifeng Prefecture, to be inspected by Quan Ti, and inspect the left and right sides of Kaifeng Prefecture. Son of Heaven.
At the same time, Yan Chen, the commander of Yulong Zuozhi, Di Yong, the commander of Yulong Guduozhi, and others were ordered to be the emperor's royal envoys.
According to the edict, spring will begin next year, and after the weather warms up, the emperor will visit Kaifeng Mansion on the fifth day to inspect the government.
In other words, after the spring of next year, Zhao Xu can leave the palace and inspect the Kaifeng mansion every five days.
Maybe, he could even decide some cases personally - this is the tradition of Zhao officials.
Taizong had adjudicated a case of throwing a pig by a commoner, and had personally handled many cases. Zhenmiao had adjudicated several property disputes.
Of course, these cases are actually carefully selected cases with strong political implications. To put it simply, they are just for show.
…
The edict was quickly drafted and sent to the capital.
After seeing the edict, the governors in the capital hall immediately went to court and unanimously praised the kindness of the two palaces.
After the news spread, in Bianjing City, the ministers who had already written the memorials to the emperor to take charge of the government quietly hid the memorials they had written.
Both palaces have already been dealt with by the emperor himself in Kaifeng Mansion.
If they submit a letter at this time and request the emperor to take charge of the government, in the eyes of outsiders, they will alienate the Tian family.
As for Kaifeng Mansion?
Cai Jing and others were stunned at first when they learned about this.
Immediately, celebrate!
Cai Jing even ran directly back to the inner house of the government office, locked himself in the study room first, covered his face with his sleeves, and started breathing heavily in his chest.
After barely calming down, he put down his sleeves.
Then, he began to write a memorial to praise the wise decisions of the two empresses.
What kind of women are too similar to Yao and Shun, the Song Dynasty, too Ren, and the virtuous empress of the ages...
In short, it’s just flattery!
After finishing writing the memorial, Cai Jing put it in his sleeve, then slowly walked out of the study, then summoned the whole family and announced his decision to start moving immediately!
The emperor wanted to personally handle all matters in Kaifeng Mansion.
Naturally, this Kaifeng Mansion is no longer the territory of the ministers.
It is the place where the emperor's chariot is located and where the dragon's chariot comes.
The ministers are not allowed and can no longer live in Kaifeng Fuyamen, otherwise they will be overstepping their bounds!
Finding a place to move out quickly is what the minister should do.
After doing this, Cai Jing walked out of the government office.
…
Cai Jing can still be calm and hold back.
Other officials in Kaifeng Mansion are already going crazy!
Hu Ji, Li Shiliang, Fan Xun and others were even in the government office and no longer even thought about doing anything.
Their minds were buzzing. Countless thoughts are constantly emerging, and countless thoughts are swaying back and forth. I can't calm down at all! I have no energy to do anything anymore.
The words I looked down at seemed to have been distorted.
There are only four words on the paper: The emperor is close to you!
Officials are close to Kaifeng Prefecture and oversee the government. Aren't they, the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, close ministers of the emperor?
And what kind of treatment will the emperor's ministers receive in the future?
All fools know!
You can be promoted to standby even with your eyes closed! Three provinces and two prefectures may not be impossible to count on!
Not to mention the other officials of Kaifeng Mansion, big and small.
For them, this is pie in the sky!
In Bianjing City, the already lively recruitment process for Kaifeng Prefecture's Senglu Division officials has become even more popular.
Now, even those scholars who were originally in Beijing and preparing for the exam have set their sights on this opportunity.
After all, why do we all work so hard to pass the Jinshi Examination?
In the morning he was a farmer, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall!
Now, there is an opportunity to work directly for the emperor, and even have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the emperor.
To some people, this may be more delicious than Jinshi!
Because if you can't get into the top ten for Jinshi, then when you confer an official, the starting point is actually a state or county official.
Those at the bottom may even have to choose between ups and downs throughout their lives.
And what about this official in Kaifeng Mansion?
First of all, the Song Dynasty did not prohibit people who had already served as officials from taking the imperial examination again.
Then, even the official himself could not see the emperor.
But this is also a golden body!
In the future, if I can get a Jinshi degree, I'm afraid I can get rid of him just because of my status as a close official of the emperor.
The speed of promotion is several times that of others.
Even if you don't pass the Jinshi exam, you can still be an official by relying on this golden body.
This future...
Everyone is tempted!
As a result, all the officials in Bianjing City were eyeing the dozen or more twenty Senglu officials.
At the same time, countless eyes in the court were also looking at Kaifeng Mansion.
"It seems that Quan promoted Fan Xun, an official in the counties and towns within the borders of Kaifeng Prefecture, to have been impeached before?" someone asked softly.
"Yes!" The person opposite him nodded lightly: "Fan Xun originally petitioned to be dismissed from the Shanling Official position... The Ministry of Household Affairs refused, so Fan Xun and the Ministry of Household Affairs argued endlessly, and finally Fan Xun took the initiative to ask for the position..."
Suddenly, both eyes turned red!
"What a thief!" Someone immediately said: "This Fan Xun dares to beg for removal from the Shanling Official... He is an unfaithful and unfilial minister!"
"He must be impeached! Impeach him severely!"
The official affairs of the counties and towns within the Kaifeng Prefecture are inherently important positions!
Generally, it is a selective system, and at least court officials with official offices are appointed.
Therefore, although Fan Xun's official official was already Chaosan Lang, he also had the post of Zhilong Tuge.
But he can only mention a few points.
What's more, now that the emperor wants to live in Kaifeng Mansion, this position becomes even more prestigious.
In the eyes of many people, it is even comparable to being a scholar and giving to others!
Therefore, this Fan Xun is too annoying.
By chance, he lost his mind and dared to write a letter begging to be dismissed from the Shanling Official.
This is the best excuse!
Get out of here and make way for a truly virtuous minister!
"And Hu Ji..."
"This person was once impeached and once dismissed from office. He is not suitable to be an official for Kaifeng Mansion at all!"
…
"Li Shiliang is a capable official in water control... He is in the Water Prison, isn't he now a Que official?"
"Can you think of a way to transfer him to the Capital Water Prison?"
…
"Cai Yuanchang of Kaifeng Mansion, don't be too impatient... He has already met the Emperor and received the decree..."
"It all depends on people, just give it a try...what if it succeeds?"
…
Amidst all the commotion, Dutang's familiar status has been approved.
Can!
Originally, Tangtang didn't take this matter to heart.
The original plan was to select a few low-level officials to go to Kaifeng Mansion to observe.
Dudo originally just wanted to observe.
However, with the imperial edicts of the two palaces, even this mission has become more popular.
All old relatives and friends sent people to visit the house to lobby.
And the minds of the governors in the capital also changed.
In the Song Dynasty, although the chief ministers liked to support young people, the real fat and beautiful jobs were always reserved for their own people.
At least the old disciples who have a close relationship with them - now, I support your nephew, and when you come to the capital in the future, you will naturally support my nephew.
Therefore, for a while, there was an endless dispute in the capital about who to send.
Zhang Dun was standing by, watching with cold eyes, and also sneered in his heart: "Look at Sui Yangyan, everyone has their own plans for rice!"
So, Zhang Dun drank tea slowly.
He has no position on this matter and will not recommend anyone.
So, you can watch the show with peace of mind.
In his eyes, the world-famous virtuous ministers in the capital are now like wild geese circling the rice fields, salivating!
If possible, Zhang Dun would like to fully draw his bow and scare them!
Note: People who had already served as officials in the Northern Song Dynasty could participate in the imperial examination, and their examination was separated from that of ordinary people, which was called the locking examination.
In addition, there are special examinations to take care of relatives and friends of various transit envoys, and caotou examinations to take care of the direct descendants of officials.
The admission rate is huge!
I, the Song Dynasty, and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, and this is not just talk!
Note 2: The children of Beijing officials in Beijing can directly participate in the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination. The admission quota is more and more relaxed! Therefore, usually a minister who is an official in Beijing may have more than a dozen family members seeking refuge...
Well, I believe readers all know what this is.
Note 3: Hu Ji mentioned in the previous article that he was impeached and dismissed from office, but because it was irrelevant to the plot, he did not mention Hu Ji’s reinstatement in August.
Note 4: At this time, Fan Xun should have been impeached and dismissed by Liu Zhi at a normal historical time point, and was sent to Linjiang Army.
Now because Liu Zhi has left, Fan Xun is still there.
But his guilt will not go away.
Note 5: In the third year of Yuanfeng, Li Shiliang was the director of Quandu Water Supervision. He presided over the reform of Du Water Supervision and eliminated more than a hundred officials who did not understand water conservancy at all.
