"Zhongjia?" Guo Zhongxiao swallowed. After hearing this question, his palms were sweaty.
Because he didn't know how to answer this His Majesty!
I am afraid that if I give the wrong answer, my political life will end.
Because the problems faced by farmers are very complicated.
He could only carefully ask for instructions again: "The unknown official wants to ask about someone from the Zhong family who is in the military?"
"Are you from the Zhong family in Beijing?"
The Zhong family, since Zhong Shiheng, has been deeply rooted in the Western Army along the border and has a high prestige.
Zhong'e was once almost synonymous with Yanyan Road.
While he was still alive, he was appreciated by the late emperor for his military exploits.
Relying on his military exploits, the late emperor tolerated his domineering time and time again.
However, in the end, the late emperor could not bear it any longer.
Because before Zhong E died, a big scandal broke out.
Before his death, he continued to list and recommended a large number of people to the late emperor.
When he died and his testament was sent to Bianjing City, the late emperor immediately became vigilant - since Zhong'e was already seriously ill, who wrote the officials he recommended and the military ministers he wrote about?
Therefore, the late emperor sent Fan Chunchun to Yanzhou to conduct a thorough investigation!
Then it was found out that it was Ji Yiwen who was close to Zhong'e. Taking advantage of Zhong'e's serious illness, he imitated his handwriting, stole his official seal, and wrote it privately.
Now I've stirred a hornet's nest.
The late emperor was furious!
He personally issued an edict and ordered Fan Chun to conduct a strict investigation and set a deadline of "ten days to close the case."
At the same time, Liu Changzuo was urgently transferred to Yanzhou.
In the edict to Liu Changzuo, he expressed his anger unceremoniously: All matters big and small were ruined by Zhong E... Qing was promoted from the generals to the commander-in-chief. He looked at the matter from the beginning and punished his predecessor. The only way to succeed is to succeed!
As a result, the entire Fuyan Road was cleaned once.
All people related to the Zhong family were put into another register.
All the generals of the Zhong family were transferred away.
As a result, the entire Zhong clan was severely damaged!
Only Zhong Yi, Zhong Pu, Zhong and three others are still in the army.
Among them, Zhong Yi is the youngest son of Zhong Shiheng, Zhong Pu is the son of Zhong E, and Zhong He is Zhong Shiheng's cousin.
They all belong to the second generation of the Zhong family, and they are also the second generation that is under suspicion.
The third generation of the Zhong family is still young, and they are all studying in the capital.
It seems that he has already decided to give up his career as a warrior.
Zhao Xu asked with a smile: "What about those who are in the army? What about those who are in the capital?"
Guo Zhongxiao's forehead began to sweat.
He lowered his head, bowed and said: "If we say that the person with the highest status in the army now was the envoy of the Sifang Pavilion, he knew Taozhou's ethnic customs..."
"This is the youngest son of Zhong Gong Shiheng, and he is also a veteran with many years of experience!"
Zhao Xu nodded.
Of course he knew Zhong Yi, You Shixiong's good partner and the Tubo people's nightmare.
Capturing Qingyi alive was the most outstanding battle in the entire Yuanyou era, and it was one of the few external highlights of the Empress Dowager.
It's a pity that in Zhao Xu's previous life, before he came to power, Zhong Yi had already died of illness in Yanzhou, and it was a happy ending.
"As for Zhongpu, he is the son of the former military commander Ta'e..."
"To be an official under Xihelu Zhongyi now, he should be at the rank of ambassador..."
Zhao Xu nodded, this was his acquaintance.
He is also a fierce general under his command!
Unfortunately, in the second year of Yuanfu, Zhong Pu was framed by civil officials and forced to fight. He fell into the siege of the Western bandits and died fighting.
When Zhong Pu died in battle, Zhao Xu was already in poor health and could no longer do justice to him.
This is what Zhao Xu owes him.
If there is a chance in the future, I must return it to others!
Moreover, it must be returned to others with interest!
The Zhao family owes the Zhong family a lot!
"And Zhonghe is also a veteran general. Now he will serve as the military commander on Jingyuan Road..."
After Guo Zhongxiao finished speaking, he carefully raised his head again and found that the official didn't have any bad looks.
Only then did he dare to continue: "And now, the Zhong family in Beijing is the third generation descendant of the Zhong family..."
"From what I have heard and heard, the most outstanding of the Zhong family's children of this generation are undoubtedly Zhong Jianzhong and Zhong Shizhong Kunzhong..."
Zhao Xu smiled and looked at Guo Zhongxiao: "Please, my beloved, please speak in detail for me..."
This is exactly what he wants!
Zhong Jianzhong is Zhong Shidao - he later changed his name to avoid taboo.
During the Jingkang crisis, these two brothers were loyal to Zhao Ji and his son and gave everything they had!
However, there are too many pig teammates!
Therefore, one could only die of despair in Bianjing City, and the other died fighting in Taiyuan City.
With the death of these two veterans, and with the last fighting strength of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji and his son were buried in vain.
The Song Dynasty finally came to an end.
The shame of Jingkang also originated from this.
In modern times, Zhao Xu has seen people's comments - the Zhong family is worthy of the Zhao family, but the Zhao family is not worthy of the Zhong family's loyalty!
Just like Wanyan Gou, he doesn't deserve Yue Wumu!
After reading these comments, Zhao Xu could only lower his head in shame.
Because he knows that modern people are not wrong.
Not to mention brothers Zhong Jianzhong and Zhong Shidao - after all, it has nothing to do with him.
But Zhongpu was killed during his reign.
Before Zhong Pu, Zhong Yong, the leader of the second generation of the Zhong family, was also framed by a civil servant named Li Fugui and died in prison.
This incident occurred during the Xining era.
It is precisely because of these guilts that Zhao Xu will compensate the Zhong family.
For example, when Zhao Xu gave Sima Guang a house, he specifically chose Zhaoqingfang in the south of the city.
Zhaoqingfang is the ancestral home of the Zhong family and the residence of brothers Zhong Jianzhong and Zhong Shizhong in the capital.
This was a clear back door - if these two brothers were smarter, they would have taken the initiative to visit Sima Guang to greet him.
If he gets favored by Sima Guang, he will be accepted as his disciple.
Aren’t these political resources just rolling in?
Even if you can't, being friendly with Sima Guang can still make you look familiar in front of people like Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang.
From now on, it will be easier for Zhao Xu to be promoted!
Therefore, Zhao Xu was really worried about his brothers!
It's just that no one will know.
Guo Zhongxiao became even more uneasy.
He lowered his head and reported what he knew to Zhao Xu.
Zhong Jianzhong is an acquaintance of his.
During the Xining period, Guo Zhongxiao studied under Cheng Yi, while Zhong Jianzhong was a disciple of Zhang Zai.
As for the breeder, because he is too young, he has only met a few times - the two brothers are eight or nine years apart!
Therefore, Zhong Jianzhong is now married and has a business, and his children can all take care of themselves.
Zhong Shizhong has just gotten married.
But the two brothers are currently preparing for the exam in the capital.
Um……
In last year's imperial examination, both their brothers failed.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu asked with a smile: "Since we are from a family of generals, why do you suddenly want to take the imperial examination?"
"This kind of Kunzhong doesn't want to be looked down upon by others?"
Guo Zhongxiao nodded.
In the Song Dynasty, everything was inferior, but reading was the only one who was superior!
Therefore, even if they are from a family of military commanders, they will try their best to get a Jinshi whenever possible.
In this way, when facing civil servants, you can stand upright and even argue with reason.
At least you can guarantee that you will not be unscrupulously targeted by civil servants or even framed without any scruples when someone speaks lightly.
However, as far as Guo Zhongxiao knew, Brother Zhong Jianzhong not only wanted to become a Jinshi for self-defense, but he really didn't want to follow the old path of his father and ancestors.
They really intend to take the Jinshi exam, even if they are the last Jinshi, and then start to grow their family and become civil servants.
How dare Guo Zhongxiao say anything like this?
Zhao Xu looked at Guo Zhongxiao and ordered: "Can you go to Kunzhong, a family like this, for me and ask if he is willing to come into the palace and teach martial arts for me and all my companions?"
Guo Zhongxiao blinked.
"Has His Majesty already chosen his family members?" He guessed: "He even came directly for brother Zhong Jianzhong?"
As a member of the general family, Guo Zhongxiao has only been in office for a short period of time.
But he had long discovered that people from the Detective Department were reporting all kinds of Bianjing affairs to Funing Palace every day.
Naturally, he didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter.
He didn't even tell his wife.
But he knew it in his heart.
Today, even though he is young and has been in the palace, he doesn't know much about the outside world as much as others!
Think about Bianjing Xinbao, which publishes Bianjing commodity prices in every issue.
And this Majesty must know more and more comprehensively than what is revealed!
Therefore, the people from the Detective Department should report to him about the situation of the family members. Is there any problem?
no problem!
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Guo Zhongxiao can only bow: "I respectfully obey your will!"
Note: The Zhao family is really sorry, they don’t even deserve to have such a loyal family like the Zhong family!
