The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 277
Zhao Tun entered the inner court under the guidance of Zhang Di, then walked through the Chenhui Gate and entered Yanfu Palace.

Emperor Daojun is currently in Yanfu Hall, the main hall of Yanfu Palace.

With cat-like gentle movements, Zhang Di gently opened the beaded curtain of the palace door, and Zhao Tian walked in.

A strong aroma wafted from the hall, and the misty green smoke from the two beast furnaces permeated the entire hall.

Zhao Tun saw the emperor Daojun's imperial book table in front of him, and there were two maids waiting beside him holding fans.

Zhang Di led Zhao Tun over, and sang in a low voice: "Officials, King Qi has arrived."

Emperor Daojun lowered his body, as if he was drawing up an imperial edict, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, but said softly, "Give me a seat."

Zhao Tun replied "Thank you, Daddy", and sat on a stool that Zhang Di brought over, observing the Daojun Emperor.

Emperor Daojun was rare today not wearing his light blue Taoist robe that looked like blue and white, and even the whisk could not be seen behind him. He was wearing a light orange casual robe with a gauze collar outside, looking very casual and unrestrained.

Emperor Daojun didn't show any surprises, he was rather calm and indifferent, which was in stark contrast to the eagerness and nervousness before the army set off.

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and smiled inwardly. The officials were going to treat him like a normal courtier, instead of treating him more or less like a prince before, not paying too much attention to him, but now they have complicated thoughts.

Emperor Daojun wrote halfway at this moment, suddenly stopped writing, seemed to think of something, frowned and then relaxed, and then said again: "Second brother has made great achievements this time, what kind of reward do you want?"

Zhao Tang stood up when he heard the words, bowed slightly and said: "Father, the child does not want rewards, it is the duty of the child to contribute to the country and share the worries of the father, how dare the child talk about rewards?"

Emperor Daojun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this answer, and said, "Second brother, I heard that you were injured?"

Zhao Tang didn't know whether Emperor Daojun got the news from the battle report, or Jiang You secretly sent a letter back to the palace, and said in a superficial way: "Father is worried, but the minor injury is not a problem, and he has recovered now."

Emperor Daojun glanced at him, with a slightly thoughtful look on his face, but then he concealed it without a trace, and he was a little puzzled. This statement seems not to be the style of the second brother. This son is used to exaggerating and asking for benefits. He who retreated to advance, why has he changed his temper now?

He was silent for a while, and said: "I've thought about it, this time you not only have meritorious service in begging the thief, but also paid millions of taels of the thief's dirt for the imperial court, so I will reward you with 10 taels of money. "

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Tang hurriedly said: "I don't want money, even the jewels and jades I bring are filial to my father, and I don't want it either."

Emperor Daojun looked at him, all expressions disappeared from his face, and he said lightly: "Second brother, don't you want money?"

Zhao Tong said: "My boy doesn't want money. The treasury wasted a lot after several campaigns against Wang Qing. The money is just to replenish the treasury. Besides, Dad's Genyue has not yet been built. It is the time when money is needed. My daily spending is very little. Don't use these."

The Emperor Daojun began to look carefully at Zhao Tun. Among the princes, Zhao Tun and Zhao Kai were handsome, with extraordinary demeanor and personable demeanor.

But Zhao Tun is more like Empress Zheng, and more handsome, while Zhao Kai is more like him, with a refined temperament.

Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Tun for a while, his expression gradually changed, and he smiled and said, "Second brother still has a heart."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the pen again and looked at the edict on the imperial case.

Zhao Tang thought that the edict was only half written, but looking at it from below, it seemed that the Emperor Daojun had only filled in two words, and then put down his pen again, as if the edict had been written.

Afterwards, the Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother, recovering Huaixi is a great achievement. Although you don't want gold and silver, it is difficult to be promoted to an official position. After all, you have to take into account the words of the court, but... I will give you a prince." .”

Move to the prince?This was something Zhao Ting didn't expect.

In fact, the Emperor Daojun was a bit reluctant to give up gold and silver money. After all, as he said, the treasury is not profitable now, and the Emperor Daojun still needs money. Although he offered to reward 10 taels just now, it was definitely not willing.

As for promotion, it is even more impossible. In his position, there is almost no way to advance.

The prince of a first-class country has reached the peak of his title.

As for the rank officials, in the second year of Emperor Daojun's reign, the third master was changed to the third master, and he became the grand master, and Zhao Kai was also the rank grand master, and this Jilu rank has reached the top. Naturally, after the three masters were changed to the third master, they are not the emperor. The teacher meant it.

Now that the rank of officials has reached the top, it is meaningless to open the government ceremony and the third department.

As for the dispatch, that is, the officer, he promoted the bodyguard to the military commander, the military position reached the top, and if he wanted to transfer to a civilian position, then only the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, and the privy envoy were the only ones.

The privy envoys of the Song Dynasty are different from the previous dynasties. The privy envoys of the previous dynasties were all military posts, but after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the privy secretaries were changed to civilian posts.

It is impossible for a deputy prime minister to participate in political affairs, and it is impossible for a first-class prince to serve as a deputy. As for the affairs of the same level, it is a bit of a joke to shoot left and right. Central.

As for leading the Privy Council, it is the Privy Council Envoy. This will only be given to the Emperor Daojun if his head is twitched. In fact, even if his head is twitched, he probably won’t be able to give it to him. .

Therefore, the titles, ranks, and ranks of officials have all reached their peaks. As for posting official bachelors and the like, it is meaningless for him to be promoted at this moment.

Originally, Zhao Tong thought that the Emperor Daojun would give him an honorary officer. After all, what he made this time was military merit. The honorary officer of the Song Dynasty has no practical use. It is just an honorary title, which will not increase his power, so It shouldn't hurt to give him an honorary officer.

There are twelve ranks of honorary officers, one rank is higher and the other rank is higher. The No.12 rank is the Shangzhu Kingdom. He estimated that the Emperor Daojun would grant him the Shangzhu Kingdom, but the Emperor Daojun unexpectedly wanted to move his prince.

In fact, this kind of thing is quite common, Zhao Kai was originally granted the title of King Jia, and later he was granted the title of King Yun, that is, moved to King Jue.

Among all the princes right now, only he is the prince of the country, with all the titles.

In fact, Zhao Kai's King Jia changed to King Yun, which is not considered to be moved. After all, the word Yun is considered a state, but a first-class prince is a first-class prince, and it doesn't mean that there are more food because of the distinction between states and countries. Yap and right, it's just that the name sounds bigger.

There were not many princes with national characters in each dynasty of the Song Dynasty. This dynasty was only Zhao Tuo, which was related to the Zheng family's succession, after all, he was the second son.

Looking back, Zhezong had no sons, and Shenzong granted two princes with the national character, one King Yan and the other King Yue.

But the title of Prince with the national character has nothing to do with the throne. Emperor Zhezong was the crown prince of Yan'an County, and Emperor Daojun was the throne inherited by King Duan, so it is probably a title, but Zhao Tuo is curious, he is already King Qi. Well, what kind of king can Emperor Daojun move out for him?
King Qi's name is already very big. Among the single-character princes of the country, King Qi ranks first.

The prince of the single-character country has always been honored by the four titles of Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu. Even down to the titles of the county king and the king of the country, these four characters are also respected.

Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu, Emperor Taizong once named Jin Wang, so if it is taboo, it is impossible to give him the title of Jin Wang.

If you don't move to King Jin, that's...

Thinking of this, Zhao Tun couldn't help but feel moved, and looked up at Emperor Daojun.
