Chapter 479 Cai Jinghe, who plans to file a lawsuit, will be rewarded

In Kaifeng Mansion, Cai Jing is busy building the wall of Jing'anfang.

Without warning, he took the following report.

"What?" Cai Jing was surprised at first: "Wu Anchi beat the newsboy in the street and was caught by the Kaifeng Prefectural Army Inspection Department?"

Immediately, he fell into ecstasy.

So much so that his face, which was already expressionless with emotion and anger, was somewhat deformed.

Who is Wu Anchi?

The second son of Prime Minister Wu Chong and the son-in-law of Wang Anshi.

Especially the latter identity made Cai Jing ecstatic.

As we all know, Anshi, the Duke of Jing Kingdom, only had two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Wang Yu, died young, and the second son, Wang Pang, was mentally ill and looked like a disabled person.

As a result, Wang Anshi was left with two apples in his eye.

The eldest daughter married Wu Andi, while the second daughter happened to marry Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian.

The relationship between husband and wife can be described as harmonious, and it is a recognized model of love in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Cai Jing has been thinking of ways to get rid of Wu Anchi.

In this way, in the future, a hundred years later, apart from his heir and grandson Wang Di, the only people who are eligible to wear mourning at the funeral of Duke Jing are his brother, sister-in-law, and the children of the couple.

In this way, Duke Jing's connections and popularity can be partially used by the Cai family.

In addition, brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian are the nephews of another former prime minister, Cai Que.

A hundred years after Cai Que, their brothers can also borrow from Cai Que's legacy.

In this way, among the New Party, their brothers are qualified to compete with the old backbones of the New Party such as Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, and Zeng Bu.

His position in front of today's emperor will not be weaker than others.

Cai Jing spent a lot of effort to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"What's going on?" Cai Jing calmly asked Wang Min, the director of the Kaifeng Prefecture who came to report.

Wang Min lowered his head and said: "I informed the Ming Dynasty that according to the inspection report of the left army and the right wing of the capital, today when Xu An and others were patrolling the streets, they saw an official leading a crowd to beat a newsboy, so he stepped forward to intervene. After the newsboy The evidence was brought back to the government office for review, and it turned out that the person who led the men to beat the newsboy was none other than Duke Wu of Huazhou..."

Cai Jing licked his tongue and confirmed: "Did Wu Anchi admit that he beat the newsboy?"

Wang Min bowed: "He has indeed admitted it. What he said is that the newsboy harassed him first, and he was just punishing..."

Cai Jing didn't listen to Wang Min's last words at all.

"Admit it? That's good!"

"Bring the confession!"

Others may not know, but how can Cai Jing not know?

Those newsboys newly adopted by Bianjing are called newsboys, and they are actually the Yulin Guards and Qimen Army of today's emperor.

People's food, clothing, and shelter all belong to today's society.

The teachers and teaching staff in the schools where people study are all drawn from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Astronomy Bureau, the Imperial Medical Bureau, and the Imperial Medicine Institute.

In other words, where did this Wu Anchi hit two newsboys?

It’s clearly a slap in the face of today’s officials!

Thinking of this, Cai Jing's eyes showed a fierce light.

He looked at Wang Min, who was about to take a confession, and asked: "Gangbu (another name for Kaifeng Prefecture Secretary Lu who participated in the military - with the government of one government, Ji Gangzhi), Quan Zhi Huazhou Wu Anzhi, have you ever When mentioning the newsboy’s life experience, was there ever any slander in his words?”

This is just wishing Wu Anzhi would not die.

Because today's officials have a negative trend - bullying orphans and widowed mothers.

Affected by the official family, the two palaces are also very sensitive in this aspect.

Especially to the Queen Mother!

She hates bullying the orphans and widows the most. Since taking office, whenever similar cases fall into her hands, she will deal with them strictly, quickly and severely, without any ambiguity.

Li Ding violated this rule and was directly exiled to Yingzhou, where he lived under the supervision of a military official.

The important minister who was once expected to be in charge was beaten to the end so easily.

I heard that he was not stripped because of the tradition of his ancestors.

Otherwise, it will definitely be stripped of hemp, or even destroyed since birth.

But Wu Anchi doesn't have Li Ding's background.

As long as you encounter this one, hum!

Wang Min understood Cai Jing's hint. He was very thief. He lowered his head and said, "It seems that he has cursed a few words like 'a bastard without a father and a mother'..."

When Cai Jing heard this, he sighed: "Quan knows Huazhou, how can he be so open-minded about his words?"

"Gong Wu Zhengxian (Wu Chong, posthumously named Zhengxian) has a very unfortunate family!"

After saying that, he stood up and said: "This matter involves the son of the prime minister. It would be better for me to become a report official."

Wang Min swallowed, he finally saw it.

This Mingfu man was about to overturn the table and directly launched his killing move at Wu Anzhi.

But in this matter, after the captain brought Wu Anchi back to the Yamen, he had actually been kidnapped.

After all, it was his subordinates who took people back to the government office.

If this matter was overturned by Wu Anchi, it would be hard for him, the Kaifeng Prefecture Chief, to join the military.

If you don't do it well, you might even get a stain on your resume, or even be written down by the officials.

It would be a big loss if you were fined copper and had to pay extra fines.

Therefore, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

It's best to let Wu Anchi die.

The son of the former prime minister? Yanei?

This status may be powerful in the prefectures and counties, but in Bianjing City, it will only be a stimulant for many ministers.

It is better to bring down the son of a former prime minister than to work hard for three to five years.

Why was the Han Jie case such a big fuss some time ago?

Half of the reason lies in his identity as the grandson of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of the crows at Yushitai, the status of the grandson of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is the same as that of Sangjiawazi who pushed the contemporary Xu Poxi and Wang Jingnu to compete in sumo competition last year.

How can the gentlemen of Bianjing City stand up to this?

Shouting, everyone went to buy tickets to watch the game.

Wang Min can't stand it either!

……

Qingshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager held the memorial jointly signed by Zhang Dun and others and was happy from morning to now.

It doesn't matter if she is happy herself, she even invites others to share it.

First, I found a few concubines.

Listening to the concubines blowing rainbow farts all morning.

Even when I walk, I feel relaxed.

As for the small incident of Zhang Dun killing a scholar, she had forgotten about it, at least for today.

Just kill!

A group of Jiaozhi people thousands of miles away from the capital, really think that the Empress Dowager will empathize with them?

Save it!

What kind of Holy Mother could a queen mother in power from a feudal dynasty be?

The Empress Dowager, who had finished pretending to be in the Houyuan, would naturally not let Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu go.

After returning to Qingshou Palace, they invited the Queen Mother and Zhao Xu over.

Then he listened to the Queen Mother and Zhao Xu and played for a long time.

It wasn't until she felt comfortable and relaxed that she gave up and started discussing business.

"Li Taide, the younger brother of the King of Jiaozhi County, is coming to court to apologize..."

"We are guests from afar, and we must treat them well." The Empress Dowager said to the Empress Dowager Xiang: "We cannot let all the countries in the world look down upon our dynasty, lest outsiders think that the Song Dynasty is the kind of country that bullies the weak and does not respect morality. "

Empress Dowager Xiang was on the side and said with a smile: "What the empress said is that it's time for Qing Honglu to be prepared..."

Zhao Xu lowered his head. He knew this would be the case early on.

"Fortunately, I asked Zhang Dun to deal with Li Changjie early... Otherwise, this Li Changjie will definitely get a Grand Mercure, live in Bianjing City and... even be sent back home with gifts!"

This was something the Song Dynasty court could do.

For the sake of face, you can pretend to be fat.

"By the way, how should meritorious ministers be rewarded?" The Queen Mother sat up straight and asked the Queen Mother Xiang: "Does the Queen Mother have any ideas?"

He said to the Queen Mother: "It's all up to the Queen Mother to make the bride's decision."

In this matter, Queen Mother Xiang really had no desires or desires. “Where are the officials?” The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu raised his head and showed a cute smile: "Just make up your mind."

Zhao Xu has already approved all the key rewards that should be given.

For meritorious soldiers, Zhang Dun had already been given full powers by Zhao Xu to reward him with money, silk, and official positions, allowing him to act arbitrarily.

The Privy Council and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are responsible for the rewards and promotions of middle and low-level officers, and they can reward them how they want.

Everything has systems, rules and stories to follow.

What Zhao Xu did was to urge the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Privy Council to ask them to work faster and work more overtime.

The effect is remarkable.

Under Zhao Xu's direct intervention, the efficiency of the Ministry of Personnel and the Privy Council was unprecedentedly high.

Those who have reported merit will be approved immediately after checking the statements of the person reporting the merit and the military judge.

The only thing that Zhao Xu needs to decide is the reward for Yan Chen and Yu Longzhi led by him.

Zhao Xu also completed the reward early.

Yanchen took over the Guangxi Wounded Soldiers' and Tea-Horse's Affairs, and moved them to Guangxi's Bingma Qian. The military minister was an envoy from a young age, and jumped directly into the inner hall of the ambassador to take over the system, becoming a seventh-grade military minister.

And Yan Chen is only twenty-eight years old this year.

A twenty-eight-year-old seventh-grade military minister has an unlimited future!

The officers and soldiers of Yulongzhi were transferred according to their merits, and almost everyone got an official position, although most of them were Gongzhi, Jiatou and Shouque generals who were not of high rank.

But this is also an official!

Moreover, the financial and silk rewards were very generous, with the average person receiving more than a hundred guan.

The military doctors who followed the army south were graded by Yan Chen according to the KPI assessment system that Zhao Xu had formulated early.

Generally speaking, the assessment is based on the number of wounded soldiers treated, their injuries, and their recovery rate.

Then, the chief and deputy envoys of the various departments of the East Ban were used to determine the official ranks of these people, and then they were included in the grinding sequence.

Of course, there are very few people who can be graded.

Most of them received some reward money and were then hired as officials in the Imperial Medical Bureau or Imperial Pharmacy.

But this is also equivalent to getting a career editor.

For those trainee military doctors who were just white men a year ago and belonged to the ruled class, this can be regarded as a class leap.

Not to mention everyone is happy, at least most people are satisfied.

Therefore, what the two palaces can actually do now is to determine the rewards and promotions of senior civil and military ministers.

The two palaces didn't pay attention to Zhao Xu's little actions.

It's just trivial matters, nothing more.

Even if they were asked to make a decision, they would not bother to take care of it, leaving it to the Ministry of Personnel and the Privy Council.

Little do they know that these seemingly trivial and small things are the real key.

In this way, Zhao Xu completely stretched his hand into the first dragon general.

The rewards, promotions, and transfers of middle and low-level officers and soldiers were all the result of his personal instructions and intervention as the emperor.

The kindness of being promoted and the kindness of knowing and encountering have always been the most important since ancient times.

In other words, this unit will have Zhao Xu's name on its forehead from now on.

The two palaces may know, but one of them doesn't want to care about it, and the other hopes that Zhao Xu will take power soon. It is best to grow up quickly and give birth to seventeen or eight princes and princesses so that she can become the mother-in-law early.

Therefore, Zhao Xu not only had no resistance when doing these things, but was extremely smooth.

The Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu, who had no intention of competing with her for the right to reward meritorious ministers and generals, and was very satisfied.

So he began to make his own decision.

"Guangxi's transshipment envoys transport seedlings, transport grain and grass, organize young people, and transport money and silk. They are never negligent and can be moved to an official position."

"My great mother is wise..."

"The empress is wise..."

"Cen Ziting, the inspector of the Youjiang capital, and Su Ziyuan, the magistrate of Yongzhou, both have military merits. They can order the Privy Council to transfer them according to the special order of military merits. Those who should be promoted to Yaojun can be promoted to Yaojun..."

"What the Queen said is true."

"My mother's decision is very good."

"Sizhou Tianshiru, who was ordered by the king to fight thousands of miles away, served as a scout for the army, and cleared the battlefield. If he has meritorious service, he can be awarded the title of "Yaojun".

There is no objection to this.

Tian Shiru has brought his own dry food to the Song Dynasty for so many years, which can indeed inspire a remote county.

"Di Yong, the general manager of Guangxi's military and horse capital, the first commander of Yulong, and the deputy envoy of Dongshanghemen, led his army to march south, expanded the territory thousands of miles, and captured several states in Jiaozhi. He killed the traitors Taiwei, commanders, etc. He killed dozens of people and captured more than 100,000 people. He is a general with the most outstanding military achievements since the official came to the throne. He has been moved to the official position since he was appointed as a compliment!"

The Song Dynasty always gave preferential treatment to the second generation of officials and generals.

As long as something can be produced and accomplished, it will be a rocket-like promotion path.

The reason is simple - these people have been tested, are familiar with them in the palace, and are easy to use.

There is no doubt that Di Yong passed the assessment of Zhao officials.

The fact that his father, Di Qing, was able to serve as a privy envoy in the environment of Renmiao Dynasty is a clear proof.

The Empress Dowager had always had a good impression of the Di family, so she said without much thought: "We should appoint the two governors of the Xifu to discuss it carefully and see how many officials Di Yong should be moved to according to the rules? Is it enough to meet the conditions for a title?" How much food should be given?"

This is natural.

"As for Zhang Dun..." The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment, as if she was still hesitating.

However, Zhao Xu raised his head and asked, "How come my mother-in-law forgot that Gao Aiqing, who is responsible for official affairs in Guangxi, is here?"

Zhao Xu said: "Gao Aiqing is diligent in the royal affairs in Guangxi and travels all over the country. All parties in Guangxi say: Gao Aiqing is responsible for Gao's official affairs. As a relative of the emperor, he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money. He condescends to condescend and recruit local officials from Jiaozhi. , a wealthy family, show kindness to them, proclaim the kindness of the court, and make them sincerely follow you. It can be said that their hard work has made great achievements, and they deserve to be rewarded!"

The Empress Dowager smiled so hard that her mouth turned crooked.

Gao Zunhui really made her look good in Guangxi.

At least the people below said that Gao Zunhui had made a contribution this time.

And not only the ministers below, but also the local officials of Jiaozhi also emphatically praised the uncle of the Song Dynasty for his noble character and generosity in the form of gratitude.

The Queen Mother was so happy.

This morning, when talking to the concubines in the backyard, Gao Zunhui was mentioned at least seven or eight times.

no way!

It's not easy to produce talents in the Gao family.

In the past, Gao Zunyu seemed to be doing fine, but in the end he was so violent that he lost his mind and lost the face of the Gao family.

Fortunately, her uncle Gao Zunhui did not embarrass her.

However, the Empress Dowager is proud of herself.

She immediately shook her head: "Gao Zunhui is a relative of the emperor and my uncle."

"It's enough to reward some gold, silver and silk, but I won't be exempted from the title of national title."

"Otherwise, someone will have to chew on their tongue again."

She has not forgotten the faces of those civil servants when Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji went to Xihe last year.

Especially Sima Guang!

It seemed as if she, a relative of the Empress Dowager, would only destroy the country and bring disaster to the country and its people.

While he was talking, Feng Jing quietly walked up to Zhao Xu, knelt down and worshiped: "Everyone, I know that Cai Jing of Kaifeng Prefecture handed a letter under the inner east gate to beg for an audience..."

Zhao Xu hummed and said to Feng Jing, "Let him wait for now, and then go see him after I finish discussing Gao Gongshi's reward with my mother-in-law."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her heart felt as sweet as honey, and she said bluntly: "The official family will still feel sorry for my relatives."

How does he look like the late emperor?

Gao Zunyu made so many contributions to the Gao family, but he couldn't even bear to serve as a full-time military governor.

If this was not the case, how could Gao Zunyu become so stupid that he did such a stupid thing?

So, he said to Zhao Xu: "As an official, state affairs are the most important thing, so we should go see Kaifeng Mansion first."

"What if something big happens in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"As for other matters, they can be discussed slowly."

Naturally, such a big matter as a reward cannot be decided in one word in the palace. It has to be carefully discussed with the capital and the six ministers.

What the palace can do is to come up with a direction and set a scope.
