Xia Song's marriage confused many people in the court who wanted to get involved with him.
Taking advantage of opportunities to make money is inherently an extremely bad behavior, but this has often been an unspoken rule in officialdom for thousands of years. When a leader has a happy event in his family, giving gifts openly is better than giving bribes in private!
Unexpectedly, Xia Song didn't give anyone a chance, and the sky-high bride price he received didn't even blink, and he donated it directly to those institutions that support idle people without even covering his hands!
Although no one knew that Xia Song really didn't donate, once the words were spoken, it had to be done!
Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Cheng Lin had already reported the three private public welfare organizations in the west of the city to the Zhao Guan family. The Zhao Guan family felt strange when they heard about it. Apart from other things, they thought Anjifang was selling countless free medicines every day. Who is so capable and able to manage money?
Cheng Lin also disclosed Miss Chen's identity to the public on the spot. Cheng Lin didn't know much about it. She only knew that she was a businessman from Shouzhou and the daughter of Xia Song's family friend. She had made enough money in her early years and now wanted to do some good deeds, so she made an appointment with Xia Song's Daughter Xia Xue and the two of them opened three institutions in the west of the city!
Chen Xichun! When Zhao Zhen heard the name, he couldn't help but move his head slightly. His face was unwavering. When he heard Xia Song's name again, his breathing became slightly disordered. Cheng Lin didn't need to say more. He already knew that this was Xia Song's arrangement. !
He even bluntly praised Chen Xichun's good deeds in the court, and at the same time ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to do the corresponding logistics work.
Zhao Zhen solemnly stated that although this is a voluntary organization among the people, what it does is a great benevolence. Moreover, this is what the government should do, but they just do it for them. They must not only provide support in all aspects and angles, but also Take the initiative to strive for more such institutions! We must not chill the hearts of these kind people, let alone the hearts of the people in the world!
Some people originally wanted to scold Xia Song for being the instigator behind this, pretending to be a public servant in order to earn his own official reputation. But then they thought about it, Xia Song was spending his own money and doing public affairs. There is really no way to attack him. point! If you have the ability, go get one yourself, and no one will scold you!
Xia Song's operation is really incomprehensible. Marrying his precious daughter to a businessman with such a strong smell of copper is not just for other people's money. He just donated so much money!
Xia Song married a girl, and she married a businessman! Zhao Zhen was so excited that he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Xia Song!
Xia Song's operation changed Lu Yi's identity from a hook-up fireworks girl to the daughter of a Shouzhou merchant. Although her status improved a lot, she still could not catch the eye of these scholar-bureaucrats. They could not tolerate the nobility of the royal family being treated like this by a businessman. He was tainted by his humble profession, but Xia Song himself was a scholar-bureaucrat. He married his daughter to a businessman. I wonder how many people could be silenced by such a righteous act!
Everyone just thought that Xia Song was seriously ill, but Zhao Zhen took the initiative to ask about it at the court meeting!
Zichen Palace.
Zhao Zhen was in a good mood. Finally, the country was peaceful and the people were at peace. The chaos in the northwest was settled. The Khitan in the north also sent a congratulatory letter to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Since he took office, it is rare to have such peaceful days. It is indeed Not easy.
The ministers below are considered obedient, and if they find Xia Song, an obedient and capable minister who is also very important in the court, it feels like everything they want to do recently comes naturally!
And in the end, the queen mother seemed to be more and more unwilling to show up, and the government affairs that she had always cared about were completely left to her to take care of. Zhao Zhen suddenly felt happy and cheerful!
The next and most important thing is to solve the problem of his own heirs for him! Take advantage of your youth and strength to cultivate it properly. In a few years, your body will not be as good as it is now. I'm afraid you have the will but the inability!
Zhao Zongshi, the adopted child, didn’t know how to express it!
This child is really too mature. He doesn't like to express himself or show up in public. His words and actions are much more stable than ordinary clan children. His behavior is completely that of an adult. There is a faint trace of The aura of the future emperor!
Moreover, what surprised him the most about this child was his speech. He had tested him several times with state affairs and political policies. The little child could actually say that the people are the country and the people! Not only that, there are also some theories that he has never heard of, such as the idea that the masses must be mobilized and from the masses to the masses. At first hearing, it is a bit novel, but upon closer inspection, it is actually a method of governing the country that has been tempered over time. !
Zhao Zhen was shocked and asked about the origin of these ideas. He responded calmly and said that he learned them from his teacher, and his teacher was just a scholar without any fame. .
The better Zhao Zongshi behaves and the more he behaves like a prince, the more Zhao Zhen dislikes Zhao Zongshi!
This is the greatest sorrow of the imperial family.
Zhao Yunrang does not want his son to go to the East Palace as a reserve. The official family is now in its prime, and there are several nobles in the harem who accept the official's rain and dew day and night. His Majesty's current position as a reserve is entirely due to the verbal and written criticism of those civil servants. It's just a compromise. Once a child is born in the future, what status will his child be in?
A prince who has not become the emperor is a thorn in the side of the official family, isn't it?
But Liang Chuan vowed to tell him that no matter what, he must tell his child to persevere and have confidence in himself, just like when Liang Chuan introduced his teacher to him, he treated him as an emperor to keep him company!
Liang Chuan didn't dare to say that the throne must be his, even if there were twists and turns in the process, Liang Chuan would definitely not get any good results in the future!
Is there any way out for Zhao Yun and his son? The reason why he is willing to stand with Xia Song is precisely because of Liang Chuan, and especially for the future of his family! Whenever Zhao Zongshi couldn't hold on in the dark palace, he would encourage his children not to give up. If you give up, the whole family will die!
Zhao Zongshi has not developed any other character, but he only has two good points, calmness and tenacity. This position is really difficult. It is wrong to do too much, and it is even more wrong not to do anything. Mr. Meng said, since this is the case, then Just stick to your heart!
All this was seen by Zhao Zhen, but it was this excellent appearance that deeply hurt Zhao Zhen's heart!
Is this child so eager for the throne? He is so outstanding. If the ministers fully accept him in the future and he gives birth to a son in the future, will his child still have a chance to survive?
It's not that Zhao Zhen is cruel, this is a father's instinctive reaction! The battle for the royal family was extremely bloody. Not only did their Taizong lineage fight against Taizu's lineage, but also their own Taizong lineage was fighting with blood and swords. There was no kinship to discuss!
He really likes women!
But the concubines in the palace were not only unfeminine, but also intrigued all day long, which made him have no desire to get close to him. Now he was extremely relieved about the world's affairs, even if the fire in his own backyard started, it never stopped!
Now Zhao Zhen can only place his hope on Xia Song!
"Xia Qing heard that your daughter came out of the cabinet yesterday, but why didn't she even ask for a wedding drink?"
"I don't dare. My daughter is really reckless. I can't sleep at night because of the people's marriage. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married. When the ministers in the court heard that I came to propose marriage, they were all horrified and avoided the door to thank the guests!"
Xia Song's self-deprecation also made the court officials led by Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu burst into laughter. Many of the ministers who laughed at and rejected Xia Song were included in the laughter. However, this matter has been exposed, so Xia Song can still criticize them?
"The fact that your daughter is dedicated to the people is really a blessing to me, the Song Dynasty. I heard that you and your old friend's daughter jointly established these institutions to help the people?"
Xia Song said sternly: "A daughter of the people who lost her mother at a young age is better able to understand the pain of the widowed and lonely people in the world. It is precisely because of this that I also support my daughter's actions. My daughter met my son-in-law while helping people in need, and the two of them fell in love with each other. They share the same goals, and even though they are businessmen, I can still accept their decision!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly realized the truth: "So that's how it is. The man's love for his daughter is really in love with each other. They are a match made in heaven. According to the decree of the couple, Xia Song's son-in-law is given a rhinoceros belt, and Xia Song's daughter is given a pair of jade hairpins. Confer Xia Song’s daughter the title of sixth grade imperial edict!"
Seal the decree! This is a bit too much. Although Xia Song is qualified to give her descendants a seal, this kind of reward is usually given to direct descendants. After Xia Xue leaves the palace, she will no longer be a member of the Xia family. Is this okay?
This care seems a bit blatant!
However, if Sun Houpu's development trend is followed, he may not have a chance to achieve fame in his life, and he will have to rely on his son. Then he will have to wait until the year of the monkey? Although Zhao Zhen's approach is unprecedented, it is also reasonable!
It's just that Xia Xue got this treatment when she opened a free pharmacy. . Free is too much of a compliment!
When everyone saw it, Prime Minister Jia Chaochang was closing his eyes and concentrating, pretending to be a deaf-mute. The elders of the Sixth Ministry saw that they were obedient. Are you giving in because you don't express your stance at this time? Then who dares to be the first to say no?
Xia Song was shocked and immediately came out of the queue to kowtow: "I thank God for my son-in-law and his wife!"
"Without courtesy, Xia Qing is the bone of the country and the official minister of Lian. It is Lian's fault that Lian did not care about you in advance before your wedding. This is because Lian does not care enough for you. You don't need to be afraid. I hope that I can understand Lian. intention!"
Zhao Zhen spoke the word "intention" very clearly.
Zhao Zhen was so generous, which made all the other courtiers jealous. Xia Song married his daughter. Marrying a businessman was originally a joke, but Zhao Zhen actually valued Xia Song so much that he even named his daughter a imperial concubine! How many people have fought for their lives to be granted the title of wife and Yinzi, and he got it so easily?
Xia Songping was still in the queue, and Zhao Zhen said again: "Now that we have finished talking about the happy events of Xia Qing's family, let's talk about official business. A few days ago, you accused Xia Qing of sending his slaves to Jingdong Road to ask for bribes and kill officials. I will jointly hold you responsible for this matter." The three judicial departments are jointly investigating, can we get some clues?"
Zhao Zhen now not only wants to breathe out for Xia Song, but also wants to breathe out for himself. These bird-like civil servants are really hateful. They have been weighing on him for so many years. They don't regard themselves as a dish at all. They treat them badly. They are too indulgent, so that they have now reached the point of lawlessness, and it is just a good opportunity to kill them!
