I studied in modern times

Chapter 12 Liu Weijian
"The old slave Liu Weijian respectfully asked the young master that he is all right!"

Wearing a narrow-sleeved purple robe, with a sword on his waist, and with graying temple hair, the courtier respectfully knelt in front of Zhao Xu and kowtowed vigorously.

Zhao Xu sat upright, quietly looking at the old courtier who was kneeling in front of him.

Calmly and calmly accepted the gift from the other party!

This old courtier is indeed qualified to call himself an 'old slave' in front of Zhao Xu.

Because he was left to Zhao Xu's father by the first emperor, and Zhao Xu's father left him to his courtiers.

Looking at this old courtier, Zhao Xu remembered the time when he saw him again in his previous life.

At that time, this old courtier was already very old.

The hunchback is bent over, and the teeth are already loose.

But after he returned to Bianjing, he insisted on paying respects to Zhao Xu every morning and evening.

At the beginning of Zhao Xu's administration, he didn't know who would be loyal to him and who was trustworthy.

It was the old minister in front of him who was the first to provide Zhao Xu with a list of trustworthy ministers.

This laid the foundation for Shao Sheng Shao Shu.

It's a pity that this old minister passed away after Zhao Xu took power.

He did not see Zhao Xu's achievements, nor did he see the day when the Song Dynasty's military flag was planted across Hengshan Mountain and Tiandu Mountain, turning the [-]-mile vast sea into the Song Dynasty's natural danger.

With a sigh in his heart, Zhao Xu told Feng Jing beside him: "Help Lao Qian up quickly!"

On behalf of the Son of Heaven, Liu Weijian followed Guo Kui in the Southern Expedition and took on official duties for the Southern Expedition Army. He was also ordered to meet the retreating army after the defeat in Yongle City.

Therefore, it is okay to call him a sentence.

Liu Weijian kowtowed and bowed again, without asking Feng Jing for help, she stood up and said to Zhao Xu: "The old slave has been sent by the sage recently to run around the Defei Pavilion, and failed to come to the young master to pay his respects, a death penalty! A death penalty!"

Zhao Xu smiled and asked, "How is Wu Niang?"

"His Royal Highness Qizuo, the princess is already recovering. Doctor Qian said that after taking the medicine for three days, she will recover!"

Zhao Xu felt relieved and said, "That's good!"

"Old Qianji came from Funing Palace, can you go and see the emperor's holy body?" Zhao Xu asked again.

"Zouzhi Your Highness! After the old slave left the Defei Pavilion, I wanted to go to the imperial court to ask the Lord Shangsheng, but at the door of Youzhaoqing, I met the imperial medicine Liang Congzheng. Liang Congzheng told the old slave: Zai Zhi has entered the Funing Palace! The old slave did not dare to disturb Zai Zhi's affairs, so he waited outside the Zhaoqing Gate for Zai Zhi to leave the hall. At this moment, Zai Zhi and others did not come out of the hall..."

"The old slave asked Liang Congzheng, only to find out that the chief executives handed over the letter, begging to see the queen mother and the empress!"

Liu Weijian was respectful, and answered Zhao Xu's questions seriously, without the slightest bit, because Zhao Xu despised him and belittled his questions at a young age.

"Liang Congzheng..." Zhao Xu chewed on the name and shook his head in his heart.

Compared with Liu Weijian who died after Zhao Xu took office.

Liang Congzheng lived much longer.

But he is also unlucky here.

In the history books 900 years later, Zhao Xu has seen the ending of the big Diao Dang beside him in the future.

After Zhao Xu's sudden death, Liang Congzheng tried to join forces with Zhang Dun to support Zhao Xu's younger brother, but he did not pass over to Queen Xiang.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Ji to let him go after he ascended the throne.

Zhang Dun fled to Leizhou, and Liang Congzheng was demoted from the capital.

Even Zhao Xu's stupid younger brother was unlucky, causing the so-called 'King Cai's Rebellion Case'.

"Idiot!" Zhao Xu commented in his heart.

The inner minister and the prime minister teamed up, but they were easily subdued by a queen dowager who lived in the deep palace.

This can only show that Liang Congzheng and Zhang Dun have no secret plans.

It must have leaked the wind and made people aware of the abnormality.

Therefore, Liang Congzheng and Zhang Dun must have been controlled before they were pre-empted.

Thinking about it carefully, the personalities of the two of them seemed to determine their fate.

Just like Zhang Dun, he likes to show off and is very high-profile.

He has a big temper and a reckless temper.

The prime minister in his decades is still as passionate as a young man.

After decades of being an official, he has offended people for decades.

The old party, the new party, anyone who could be offended was offended by him.

That is to say, if Zhao Xu could use him and replace him with someone else, he would have thrown this stubborn husband from Fujian to Yazhou for fishing.

As for Liang Congzheng, he has been in the deep palace and has no experience of going out. Apart from being full of Gongdou skills, he has no other talents.

It would be strange if these two people could make things happen.

Leaving Liang Congzheng behind, Zhao Xu asked, "Do you want to report the fire at Kaibao Temple?"

Liu Weijian still nodded respectfully.

He may be lacking in ability.

That's why, even though he is an old courtier of Zhao Xu's lineage, he has never been alone.

However, the good thing about him is that he is loyal enough to the Lord, and the good thing is that he is respectful enough to the Lord.

Be it the past, the present, or the future.

Liu Weijian is always like this, it hasn't changed.

"Have you heard any discussions, Lao Qian?" Zhao Xu still asked calmly.

A trace of surprise finally flashed in Liu Weijian's eyes.

The young master who is more than eight years old, is so special today!

He was too calm, too calm.

Not childlike at all.

On the contrary, he looks like an adult who has been immersed in power for many years, a king who wields power and kills and seizes.

However, Liu Weijian knew that she should not express any opinions or comment on the matter of the Lord's family.

Therefore, he lowered his head, respectfully, as he did in front of the first emperor and officials in the past, slowly and plainly stated what he knew.

"Your Highness, the old slave listened to Liang Congzheng's words: Kaibao Temple caught fire, and the two Zishantang officials were buried in the sea of ​​flames. The governor dared not do anything special, nor did he dare to disturb the peace of the Lord, that's why he wanted to face the two palaces!"

"Before the old slave left, I heard people say that the two palaces were furious when they heard about it. They thought that the fire in Kaibao Temple was due to the lax discipline of the monks. He ordered the chancellor to recommend eminent monks, so that he could not be the presiding officer of Kaibao Temple, so as to strictly follow the Buddhist rules and precepts!"

Zhao Xu listened quietly, he didn't have any surprises.

This is indeed something that Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang can do.

In his previous life, although the Empress Dowager Gao had shrouded Zhao Xu's head, making him unable to breathe, he could not breathe, tossing and turning, restless day and night.

However, that is not how powerful and terrifying Empress Dowager Gao is.

Pure blessing of power!

It was also purely the psychological effect produced by Zhao Xu himself out of fear.

Zhao Xu now knows that Empress Dowager Gao is not Wu Zetian, nor Zhang Xian Mingsu, and even worse than the late Mercy Sheng Guangxian.

At the very least, benevolent and holy, have their own opinions.

What about Empress Dowager Gao?

Everything about Yuanyou flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.

Change from day to day!

Listen to the wind is rain!
This is Zhao Xu's evaluation of Empress Dowager Gao who had been promoted to Empress Dowager in the Yuanyou era.

It was also the reason why Zhao Xu was able to seize power quickly after taking charge in his previous life, wiped out Yuanyou's old party, and drove them all out of the court.

"So, which eminent monk did the mother and queen finally choose?" Zhao Xu asked in a slightly joking tone.

"The old slave heard that it seems to be a foreign monk from the court, called Mr. Jin..."

"President Jin?" Zhao Xu pursed his lips, and a picture flashed in his mind.

"Your Majesty, this is the scripture translated by the poor monk, please read it!"

The thick scriptures were introduced by the head of the army and sent to Zhao Xuyu.

Zhao Xu lowered his head and saw the name on the cover.

"Pinana Yeka Sutra"!
Look at the yellow sticker on the cover: This is the scripture of the secret method of the Great Sage Huanxitian!
Is this something for kids to watch?

Zhao Xu immediately withheld it, not allowing it to be spread outside, and took it back to the harem to study and comprehend it carefully.

Of course, that President Jin is indeed a good monk with profound Buddhist practice.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu shook his neck slightly.

He remembered something he had read in history books 900 years later.

Esoteric monks are also eminent monks!
In the future, it may be worth using!
So, Zhao Xu stood up, walked to the desk where the pen and ink were placed, picked up the pen, and dipped it in the ink.

Then, he walked to a screen in front of his bed, picked up a pen and wrote on the screen the first name: Fan Seng Jin Zongchi.

This is the habit of Zhao officials.

When encountering useful people or things, they would write their names or titles on the screen in their imperial living room.

Wait until that person's name or the name of something, when the screen appears for the third time.

You can promote him or order someone to investigate.

This is a tool used to select talents, or to understand local conditions.

It is also an expedient measure in desperation.

The emperor's energy is limited.

Take Zhao Xu as an example, in his previous life he was considered diligent.

But many times, he couldn't even remember the names of the officials in charge of the three provinces' departments.

In the Song Dynasty, there are 24 roads, 14 prefectures, 238 states, 37 armies, 4 prisons, and 1126 counties.

There are a total of nearly 2800 civil servants and court officials.There are more than 1100 military ministers, principals and deputy envoys.

Deducting the foreign relatives and the clan's temporary posts, it is still an extremely large group.

It is impossible to remember.

He can only be selective and remember those who are bright and interesting to him.

Liu Weijian and Feng Jing had already lowered their heads and looked at the floor of the inner bedroom when Zhao Xu was writing.

They didn't dare to look up until Zhao Xu finished writing and came back.

Zhao Xu walked back to Liu Weijian, looked at the old courtier, and said indifferently: "Kaibao Temple was burned, and the two direct lecturers unfortunately died in the fire. If Lao Qian is free, he will go to the two direct lecturers' homes for me. If they have difficulties in their families, please help them. Don't let the orphans and widows be bullied!"

This is the only thing Zhao Xu can do for those two straight talkers now.

He can't check, and he can't.

Not even this thought and idea should be there!

Some things, if you don't weigh two or two, you can't beat a thousand catties if you weigh them.

This is the case with the Kaibao Temple fire.

Either by accident or by arson.

This matter can only be handled in this way.

"The old slave knows!" Liu Weijian knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Zhao Xu.

Feng Jing, who was looking at Zhao Xu's side, was full of envy in his eyes.

In this world, even as a slave.

It is also about qualifications and ranking.

Feng Jing knew very well that in this inner imperial city, the number of ministers who are qualified to kowtow to the king of Yan'an County, call themselves old slaves, and call themselves young lords is probably no more than ten fingers!

……

Note: In front of Funing Hall, there are left and right Zhaoqing gates.

PS, don't think too much about the empress dowagers in the deep palace, not every empress dowager is Wu Zetian or Cixi.Gao Taotao is obviously not -0-, why do you say that, you can see that Cai was demoted -0-, it can be called the Northern Song Dynasty version of attacking and killing Soleimani, which plunged the situation into an irreconcilable vortex, and frightened the radicals in the old party to call it too radical.

This is still a record of the old party's position, and Zhezong will almost abolish her if he changes to the new party's position!
