Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 535

Zhao Pu took his sister-in-law Wei Wei's hand and walked quickly in the Daning Palace.

Tired, the sweetness of first love mixed with admiration for her brother-in-law in sister-in-law Wei's heart, as well as her curiosity about the not-so-large Daning Palace, all disappeared without a trace, leaving only her breathless panting.

After only passing a few checkpoints, the two arrived at the Chongde Hall where the emperor handled general government affairs.

Zhao Pu and Wei Shi were about to bow down when they entered the door, but the emperor's teasing voice came from inside.

"Okay, you don't bow down on weekdays. Today, the little lady of the Wei family is following, why don't you know how to show off? Come in and talk."

Wei's mouth became O-shaped in surprise, and his big eyes flickered at his brother-in-law Zhao Pu, full of shock and admiration.

She knew that her brother-in-law had become a senior official in the household department, but she didn't expect that she had become so acquainted with the emperor.

Zhao Pu's eyes were hot, and tears instantly filled the entire eye sockets, almost falling down immediately.

These days can be said to be the most beautiful moments in Zhao Pu's life for more than [-] years.

The sage treats him as if he were a friend who has known him for many years, and he trusts his abilities even more.

Under this favor, Zhao Pu seemed to have reawakened. The subset of classics and history that he thought was difficult to read and boring to read before seemed to have a special attraction.

As soon as Zhao Pu was free these days, he read books eagerly, because he was afraid that his knowledge and ability would not be worthy of the saint's trust.

Excited, Zhao Pu respectfully stood at the entrance of the main hall, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in accordance with the rituals used by great courts, paid homage to Zhang Zhao, and shouted with a sob in his mouth.

"I have nothing to repay the favor of the saint, Zhao Pu, I only hope that I can follow His Majesty forever in this life."

Zhang Zhao came out of the hall a little strangely, he still didn't quite understand why Zhao Pu became so excited all of a sudden.

However, this is not a bad thing. This Zhao Pu may still be a little immature now, but his ability is not a problem. If you cultivate it, you will be a useful minister of state affairs in the future.

"If you have this kind of heart, then do it well. You and my monarch and ministers will get along well, and there will be a good story in history in the future."

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Pu bowed down again, and then stood up together with his sister-in-law Wei.

Zhang Zhao looked at the Wei family beside Zhao Pu, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, as Zhang Lieming said, she was gorgeous and delicate.

Zhao Pu saw Zhang Zhao's shining eyes looking up and down, and clearly felt a kind of admiration and amazement from men to women.

He was so upset that he gritted his teeth and was about to speak.

But I, Zhang Shengren, can be said to have been tempted for a long time in these aspects.

He immediately sensed what Zhao Pu wanted to say, and suddenly looked at him with frowning eyes.

"You are a minister, how can you do something lucky? The reason why I trust you is because of your talent and learning. Why should you be contemptuous?"

What a knockout opportunity!Zhang Shengren is extremely skilled in using it, and he can't be found like an antelope's horns.

So, his quick reaction immediately made Zhao Pu dumbfounded. After a few seconds of being stunned, the historical founding prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty bowed down for the third time.

"Your Majesty, the true Lord! I was born in a poor family, and I am used to seeing the dogs of the Shi family's two emperors, and now I offend Your Majesty, a death penalty! A death penalty!"

Only then did Zhang Zhao snort angrily, "Get up! I treat people only on their talents. Just keep in mind that you should use your talents on the right path."

Wei Shi, who was frightened by the emperor's sudden anger, fell into a daze after being stunned for a while.

She looked around confusedly, wondering what Zhang Zhao and her brother-in-law Zhao Pu were talking about?She didn't even know that she was almost changed hands just now.

After a small episode, Zhang Zhao waved to the guards who came from Ning Yuan and said, "Go and bring that woman over and let Yuanwailang recognize her."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu asked Wei Shi to stand beside him, that's why he brought his sister-in-law into the palace today.

That was their neighbor, the Zhen Baoer who inspired Zhao Pu's kind thoughts was still alive, and there was also a relationship that made Zhang Zhao's head ache.

. . . .

At the entrance of the main hall, a thin figure with a big belly was getting closer and closer.

Wei Shi had already received Zhao Pu's half-spoken advice, he stood on tiptoe and looked carefully, only to see that the woman who came over was Zhen Bao'er, who was one year younger than her.

Zhen Bao'er is not tall, with big eyes and cute eyes. She is currently in the seventh month of pregnancy, and her belly is so big that it makes people a little scared to look at it.

She didn't look very panicked, but her eyes didn't have the agility that a 15 years old girl should have. It looked as if her soul had left her body and flew away.

The Wei family is still young, and doesn't have as many scruples as adults. At this moment, looking at the sister who has disappeared for more than a year, he couldn't help crying, and burst into tears.

She ran over and grabbed Zhen Bao'er's hand, shouting 'sister! ''younger sister! '

Zhang Zhao quickly asked people to bring over the reclining chairs behind him, let Zhen Baoer sit down, and then asked someone to hand over the gold medal with her name engraved on it to Zhao Pu.

Wei's side was already crying, and Zhen Bao'er was shaking all over.

It wasn't until Zhao Pu passed by with the gold medal that the poor woman's closed inner defense was suddenly broken, and the two girls burst into tears in the Chongde Hall.

Many palace people around also felt the same and wiped away their tears, Zhao Pu's eyes were moist again.

Even Zhang Shengren, who has been a feudal emperor for nearly ten years and has already cultivated his heart like a stone, couldn't help but sighed.

After a while, the two girls were tired from crying, so Zhang Zhaocai asked Zhen Bao'er himself, "Since I have no home, would you like to go to Zhao's house?"

Zhen Bao'er didn't say much, and after glancing at Zhao Pu and Wei Shi, she nodded lightly.

Zhang Zhao also showed some relief on his face, "Then the child in your stomach should be named Zhao. If you don't want to raise it, you can send it to the palace after the age of five."

But before Zhen Baoer could speak, Zhao Pu knelt down first.

"The minister's family is really difficult to bear this kind of flesh and blood. Although Yao's bone is a barbarian chieftain, he has a bit of royal air. Since His Majesty intends to train them, it is better to take them for his own use!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then nodded slowly, the child in Zhen Bao'er's womb was a little unusual.

Because this woman became one of Yelu Deguang's maidservants after being taken away by the Khitan people, and the child in her womb was basically Yelu Deguang's.

Zhao Pu also knew Zhang Zhao's intentions, so he said so.

Since it is about benevolence, how can there be a woman who is pregnant with the son of Yelu Deguang, the Lord of Khitan, who can comfort her and embody benevolence more.

Moreover, almost all of these born or unborn children are evil, if Zhang Zhao does not accept them, one can imagine their fate.

Once it is taken over, it will be a great grace for regeneration. If it can be cultivated properly, it will be a sharp knife in your hand in the future.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhao agreed, and then summoned Li Xiaojie and Zhang Lieming.

"Set the rules, these children will be called beggars from now on, and those who no one wants to raise will be sent to the comfort bureau. Even if they are slaves, they must always be given a way to survive.

Yintong, the envoy of Yongxun Palace, will handle the matter of returning the looted gold and silver to the common people. "

Yongxun Palace is the main palace of Liangzhou, when Zhang Zhao raised his army to Zhongyuan, he brought some of his Yongxun Palace attendants with him.

Palace envoy Yin Tong is the grandson of Zhang Zhao's grandmother Yin's younger brother. He is cautious and prudent, handling the affairs of Yongxun Palace, which is equivalent to the secret of later generations. It is the right time for him to handle the refund of the people's robbed gold and silver.

Outside the Daning Palace, more than a dozen carts were filled with gold and silver jewelry and brocades stamped with the imprints of each family, and they piled up like a mountain from a distance.

The regrettable warriors in white cloth armor held guns and held bows, and a large number of Yongxun Palace servants and guards in silver-white round collar robes were busy.

Today, the people in Tokyo who came to receive milk and go back to feed their children were so stunned that no one could believe it was true when the envoy Yin Tong of Yongxun Palace announced that the sage would return the looted gold and silver.

But it didn't take long for the people who came back to their senses to cheer loudly outside the Daning Palace, and the news spread throughout the city as if they had grown wings.

At this moment, almost all the remaining tens of thousands of people in Tokyo are running outside the Daning Palace.

. . . .

How to return these looted supplies?In fact, it is a technical activity.

For wealthy households with honorable ministers, of course, meaning is the main thing, and the main purpose is to return commemorative properties to them.

Because many of these families were blackmailed by the Khitan people, no matter how much you returned, it was impossible for them to be grateful, and Zhang Zhao couldn't afford it, so he just let it go.

The key point is to return it to the people of Tokyo. Even if they give three melons and two dates, they can get their great gratitude.

Now that Zhang Zhao has the military power, and with the support of the people, he can start to train the officials of the Later Jin Dynasty in the city.

And in order to avoid worrying about both the few and the uneven, Zhang Zhao will reward even the people who have no property worthy of being plundered.

The specific method is to use the excuse of destroying the family of his neighbors, and then buy the house and use it for the family members of the [-] troops under his command in the future.

Then the money for buying a house was given to these out-of-home neighbors' families in the form of dozens of pennies, which more or less made them feel a little oily.

This work can be described as highly technical and complex.

However, it was not difficult for Yintong, because under his command, there were dozens of righteous soldiers that Zhang Zhao had been supporting.

Most of them are proficient in arithmetic, and have learned statistics and even financial statements from Zhang Zhao. They are the seeds that Zhang Zhao plans to use to control the bank in the future. Now it is easy to dare to do this kind of work.

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of long live, and the cheerful atmosphere where everyone had money to take, Zhang Tianzi's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was completely confirmed.

From now on, these people in Tokyo have completely accepted the emperor from Hexi, and even the deeds of the Guiyi Army have been sung by them.

The activity of returning property has been going on for two days. Two days later, Zhang Zhao announced another virtuous policy.

It turns out that since Shi Chonggui came to the throne, he has searched all over the world for beautiful women who are good at singing and dancing, and placed them in Zide Palace and other palace buildings. They also used extravagant carpets to pave the floor in the palace, detained hundreds of weavers, and kept countless actors. by the hundreds.

Zhang Zhao ordered the release of more than [-] palace servants and weavers from the Daning Palace, Zide Palace and other palaces.

Let those who still have family members return home to reunite with their families, and those who have no family members or do not want to return home, all go out of the palace to marry middle and low-level officers or even warriors in the army.

Following the old example of Tang Taizong, the redundant palaces such as Zide Palace were demolished, and the people in Tokyo were allowed to take back these wood and stones to repair their homes that had been destroyed by military disasters.

In the end, the actors were dismissed, and those who were forced to take captive were allowed to do what they should do, and the treacherous people were sentenced if they were guilty.

Zhang Zhao only kept the Daning Palace, which was rebuilt from the original office of the Jiedushi of the Xuanwu Army, which can be described as extremely simple.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in Tokyo and even the entire area occupied by the Zhou Kingdom changed drastically. Everyone could see that this Zhou Tianzi really wanted to do something big, and he was a British lord who had the ability to end the troubled times.

After finishing all these, Zhang Zhao announced before the first day of 945 that on the first day of the year, the elderly over 55 years old in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and surrounding counties and counties would be entertained in the Daning Palace, which was called the banquet of thousands of old people.

Regardless of the original Jin Guoxun officials or ordinary people, as long as they are 55 years old, they can go to Daning Palace to eat the feast of Zhang Shengren. After the end, there will be gifts.

At this time, those who can live to be over 55 years old in this troubled world are all at the helm of various families, at least they are also highly respected spiritual leaders.

After the banquet, they were all grateful and respected Zhang Zhao incomparably, and these people spread the reputation of Zhang Zhao's benevolence even more widely.

After this set of tricks, led by Luoyang and Kaifeng, the lifeless land of Henan immediately returned to its prosperous appearance.

The common people safely transported surplus food from all over the place, merchants began to roam the streets and alleys, people who had no choice but to become bandits went down the mountain one after another, scholars who studied and aspiring warriors began to go to Tokyo to pay homage to the emperor.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Zhao could say that he had gained a firm foothold.

With the support of the people, he can finally clean up the bureaucratic system that has been corrupt for hundreds of years.
