I studied in modern times

Chapter 509 I am injured and need to be coaxed to get up.

Bingchen (twelfth month) in May of the first year of Yuanyou.

The imperial edict was issued to the emperor. Sima Guang, one of his ministers, suffered from foot sores and was unable to kneel down. Since Sima Guang was an old minister of the late emperor and a teacher of the emperor, it was specially ordered to exempt Sima Guang from going to the court to worship and kneel until he recovered.

He also issued an edict: Huainan suffered from a severe drought, so Benlu was ordered to be punished and officials from Changping conducted detailed investigation and consideration. He also exempted Huainan from the two additional taxes imposed by the prefecture and county this year.

Lin Xi, the person who lives in the living room, is the living room manager, and Zuo Si, the doctor who is also the author of the book, Zuo Lang, Zeng Zhao, is the living room manager.

Zeng Zhao, the emperor's pavilion annotation, Zeng Gongzi from Zhongshushe.

Zuo Zhengyan advised Sun Sheng, the senior official, to stop learning about Taizhou. Zuo Zhengyan Liu Fengshi decided to stop learning about Suizhou.

Obviously, this was the result of the officials' constant entry into the palace in the past two days, especially Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu's activities in front of the two palaces.

Zhao Xu didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter, but in fact, every night, Liang Weijian and Liang Congzheng would quietly report relevant matters to Feng Jing in the imperial kitchen, and then Feng Jing would tell Zhao Xu.

Therefore, Zhao Xu knew that Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu had been lobbying the Qingshou Palace for a long time these days, and the attitudes of the two palaces finally softened.

That's why these measures were taken.

"Yao Qing, how is your father's health?" After Yao Xiong finished his report, Zhao Xu began to make daily arrangements.

However, Zhao Xu believes that he can definitely conquer the local tycoons!

Yao Xiong saw Zhao Xu for the first time and seemed a little excited.

In front of the gates that have not yet been built, there are even two huge stones that are as tall as one person.

The shipping cost for these big rocks alone is probably one to two thousand guan each.

On this morning, Zhao Xu came to Jing'an Square to inspect the wall that Cai Jing had just built.

If you use it frequently, it won't be worth the money.

Regardless of whether they are civil servants or military generals, once the imperial examination card is played, they will quickly draw closer to each other.

But Zhao Xu has a good impression of Yao Xiong.

Therefore, he kept it away and only used it in front of people he really wanted to win over.

I don’t know where Cai Jing got it from?

Definitely not Bianjing, at least they are all in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The former magistrate of Suizhou, King Yidao, was dismissed from his post because of corruption and perversion of the law, and went to Dali Temple.

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded: "When Huang Kao was here, he told me about your father-in-law."

Zhao Xu waved his hand. He now found that his imperial examination card was very effective.

Yao Xiong was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "I am an official, my father has always been in good health, and he can still shoot the magic arm bow."

This unlucky guy was retaliated against because he offended Shen Kuo - Shen Kuo was a good player in politics, and he was definitely an expert in retaliating against others.

After only transporting the construction waste out of the city, he praised Yao Xiong highly and urged Yao Xiong to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to build the exhibition area before the Kuncheng Festival.

The status is the same as that of Yanda, Miao Shuo and Liu Changzuo today.

Yao Xiong's grandfather was Yao Bao, who died heroically in Dingchuan Village. His father was Yao Si, a famous general in the Western Army. His uncle was Yao Lin, and his younger brother Yao Gu were all famous generals in the Song Dynasty.

"It's a pity that my father came to Beijing last year and I couldn't meet him. I'm very sorry!"

Then he called Yao Xiong, the captain of the Divine Guards Army who was responsible for supervising the construction here, and asked about the progress of the demolition work in Jing'an Square.

"Huang Kao said that there is a general named Yao Si in Huanqing who is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. On his armor and sword, there are inscriptions: The enemy has not been avenged, but he is encouraged day and night..."

Zhao Xu took advantage of the imperial ban and looked around with great interest.

Yao Si was now taken to Xihe by Zhao Xi, and served as the deputy general manager of the troops and horses of Xihe Road as the Dongshang Hemen envoy and the Zhongzhou regiment training envoy.

After learning that the residential houses in Jing'anfang have basically been demolished.

Looking at it now, the effect is still outstanding.

Fortunately, someone will pay for it.

He participated in putting down the Qingzhou mutiny, followed Yanda southward, and fought in Jiaozhi. Under Wang Guangzu's command, he put down the Luzhou barbarians and expelled his begging brothers.

Moreover, Yao Si's role as an unruly official was created by himself with one blow and one shot - he had fought all the major wars inside and outside the Song Dynasty since Xining.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, brothers Yao Xiong and Yao Gu were his generals who pioneered Lingxia.

On all roads along the border, he also fought in more than ten places. He was the kind of fierce general who charged forward.

Therefore, when speaking, it is inevitable to stumble - of course it may be due to acting.

Yao Xiong suddenly became excited, shed tears, and worshiped: "My father, the late emperor has favored me so much. I must shed tears of gratitude and die in repayment!"

Of course, such an easy-to-play card can only be used occasionally.

There are blue bricks and green tiles, and there are paintings and images on the walls, and the colors used are bright, which is contrary to the contemporary mainstream aesthetics of civil servants and officials - it is very ostentatious and exaggerated.

This is the standard horizontal officer.

This proves that his approach is correct.

The uncle of these two men, Yao Lin, was Zhao Xu's most trusted military official during the Shaosheng era - the envoy of the Wukang Army Jiedushi and the deputy commander of the Qianjin Palace Division.

This will make it easier to sell the house.

Maybe it's better to get it from Luoyang or Jingxi.

Therefore, the old Yao family, like the old Zhong family, is a general family that has dedicated its youth to the old Zhao family and dedicated its descendants.

"I heard that your father is determined to take revenge. He has engraved on his armor and weapons: The revenge has not been avenged, but you are encouraging him day and night?" Zhao Xu then asked.

"Your Majesty, my father lost his father when he was young, and he was raised by my grandmother. My grandmother taught my father and uncle the principles of loyalty and filial piety since they were young. Therefore, everyone in my family wants to serve my father and is determined to take revenge!"

Zhao Xu listened and nodded seriously: "Good!"

"If all the military ministers in the world are like the Qing family, why worry about the Western bandits not being destroyed and the Northern bandits not being destroyed?"

Yao Xiong was so excited when he heard this. He was so drunk by Zhao Xu's chicken soup that he almost forgot what his last name was?

……

After Zhao Xu finished his inspection of Jing'anfang, he took Cai Jing with him.

Let Cai Jing ride a horse and follow Yu Hu.

At the same time, letting Yan Yuan lead the people created a space for secret discussions between the monarch and his ministers.

"Cai Qing, do you know what the capital court did to Sun Sheng and Liu Fengshi this morning?"

"I have heard a little bit about it." Cai Jing lowered his head and replied: "These two ministers are so bold and reckless that they should be demoted."

This was also the crime sentenced to Sun Sheng and Liu Anshi in the edict.

A very vague, not even definite charge.

"The minister of Dali Temple, Wang Xiaoxian, is about to leave." Zhao Xu said softly: "Sir, are you ready to temporarily stay in Dali Temple?"

Cai Jing quickly expressed his position: "I am working hard and sleeping all night, just waiting for His Majesty's order!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Xu nodded.

"Get ready!"

"No!" Of course Cai Jing knew, what did Zhao Xu mean?

But he didn't have any psychological pressure.

This is the way this world is.

Now that you have decided to become an official and become a high official, you cannot not only want to be promoted, but also want to be famous, and you also want to be simple in the heart of the emperor.

This is impossible.

And the thirty-nine-year-old Cai Jing has long since sold his conscience and morality.

He just wants to make progress now!

He is as progressive as his clan uncle Cai Que!

……

Zhao Xu had just washed up after returning to the palace.

Then I received a post from Tongjian Division.

The imperial censor Zhongcheng Fu Yaoyu asked to see him.

Zhao Xu read it once, took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and replaced himself with a weak, helpless, and pitiful little emperor.

Then he said to Guo Zhongxiao: "Please invite Master Fu to come to the east pavilion of Funing Hall."

Guo Zhongxiao took the order and left.

After Zhao Xu changed his clothes, he was escorted by Yan Yuan and entered the quiet room in the east pavilion of Funing Palace. He sat under the curtain and waited quietly for Fu Yaoyu.

He now enjoys summoning ministers in this quiet room.

Not only is there a sense of security here, it's also very private.

So far, no news has leaked out in this quiet room.

This is great!

In this large sieve-like space, there is no better place for discussion than this quiet room.

A quarter of an hour later, Fu Yaoyu was brought to this quiet room. When the monarch and his ministers saw each other across the curtain, Zhao Xu choked with sobs and said, "Here is the Commander-in-Chief?"

When Fu Yaoyu heard Xiao Guanjia's voice, his heart skipped a beat, and then he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Guanjia's figure inside the curtain.

The feelings of love and guilt in my heart suddenly arose spontaneously.

So, he held the potion and bowed: "Old minister...Old minister...I am ashamed of your majesty's entrustment..."

The Li Yong case has now encountered unprecedented resistance.

The capital and the two palaces did not want him to continue investigating.

At the same time, Li Yong, the plaintiff in this case, withdrew the lawsuit yesterday.

Yes, this businessman who was still fighting until now suddenly withdrew the lawsuit.

He even threatened that he was 'falsely accusing' Duan Jilong.

What he meant was that he would rather be assassinated than continue to complain.

black!

too dark!

This made Fu Yaoyu panic in his heart.

I saw the voice of the little official behind the curtain again, and heard the official's slightly choked voice of grievance.

Fu Yaoyu was even more blocked.

He had the feeling that he had desecrated something sacred.

So, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

The adult world is so cruel!

However, he came to the palace today with a mission.

The governors of the capital, as well as the two palaces, all gave him missions.

Everyone hopes that he, Fu Yaoyu, will bring this case to an end in front of you.

Let the emperor believe the lie that everyone has made up together now.

This made Fu Yaoyu even more uncomfortable.

He is an upright person, and he has never done such a thing in his life.

But unfortunately, the situation forced him to do this.

The reason is very simple - the emperor is smart, kind, and adheres to the teachings of saints, the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and the heart of an innocent child, which originates from his nature.

If because of this case, the Sacred Heart becomes dusty and darkened.

Then everyone will leave.

Therefore, Fu Yaoyu entered the palace today because he was morally kidnapped and tied up.

He had actually been brainwashed for a long time before coming here.

But when I arrived in front of you, I heard the official choking sound.

Fu Yaoyu immediately broke his guard.

He prostrates himself on the ground, feeling deeply that he has sinned deeply!

I couldn't say a single word of the words I had originally thought of.

Then he just listened to the officials behind the curtain and sniffed slightly: "Zhongsi, there is no need to say more."

"I know it!"

"State affairs are the most important thing, and the stability of the country is the top priority."

"There is no need to comfort me, Lieutenant Commander... I understand the truth..."

Zhao Xu was choking as he spoke, playing the role of a young emperor who, although sad, was willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the world and the country.

This was the choice Zhao Xu made after thinking for a long time in the past two days.

Acting innocent was originally his option.

But the problem is that once the persona of 'holy nature and simplicity' is established, it may have many sequelae.

Moreover, it does not conform to the character Zhao Xu has always set for himself.

A young emperor who was smart, kind, filial, could draw inferences from one instance, and had a superhuman ability to learn about state affairs.

Zhao Xu was told about his experience studying abroad in modern times.

In this world, good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others.

Good people will definitely be held at gunpoint.

A good emperor will definitely be played as a fool by his ministers.

The old emperor of the Liao Kingdom is a typical case.

How many people have Yelu Hongji been tricked by in his life?

Even his son and queen were killed!

Has anyone ever sympathized with him?

No!

On the contrary, what most people think is - the emperor is so easy to deceive, and if he doesn't deceive him, he will lose!

This is the root of Liao's current problems!

Therefore, Zhao Xu chose to show his cards directly - I actually understand what you are doing.

But I am willing to wrong myself for the sake of the world and the country!

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Fu Yaoyu felt even more guilty. He lay on the ground and bowed his head again: "I'm punished by death! I'm punished by death!"

"I won't do anything about loving you..." Zhao Xu sniffed again and said sincerely: "I know, you did your best!"

"At least we found out the truth!"

"Hu Ji, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, must not be retained!" Zhao Xu said coldly.

Fu Yaoyu swallowed and raised his head: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xu let out a breath and said to Fu Yaoyu: "Zhongsi, I know..."

"What role did Hu Ji play in this case?"

"This person is evil and sinister. He framed ministers and coerced his colleagues..."

The role played by Hu Ji in Li Yong's case is very clear.

He didn't want money - most of the money Duan Jilong gave him was used to manage officials in Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion.

He doesn't seem to be seeking fame - if the case hadn't been brought into Zhao Xu's hands, and Zhao Xu was particularly concerned about Kaifeng Mansion.

Then when this case is completely fermented, Cai Jing becomes the target of criticism from the government and the public, and Hu Ji will inevitably be driven out of Bianjing along with Cai Jing and beaten as a criminal.

So, here comes the problem.

An official needs neither money nor fame, and may even be demoted.

So what is he planning?

He can't be a masochist, right?

The answer is already obvious.

He is handing in his name!

He was using Cai Jing to express his loyalty to the people he wanted to serve.

He is planning for the future!

Can Zhao Xu spare him?

Apart from anything else, there is just one thing - I personally lead the Kaifeng Mansion, but you are still thinking about taking refuge with others?

Am I not worthy of your loyalty?

Or should I say that in your heart, I, the emperor, was a person who died young and was not a long-lasting king?

That’s why you would sacrifice the near and seek the far away to embrace other people’s laps?

This stepped on Zhao Xu's fault!

You can be blind or incompetent.

But you can't be blind and incompetent at the same time, and you can't tell the difference between the king and the king!

Fu Yaoyu was shocked and asked: "Your Majesty, does everyone know?"

Zhao Xu sighed: "Although I am young, I have read history books, and I have been influenced and taught by Huang Kao day and night..."

"It's not that I don't understand those dirty tricks and those shameful and evil deeds!"

"I just... believe in the teachings of saints!"

"Confucius taught me how to be kind and forgive my relatives, Mencius taught me how to love and be close to the people..."

"Mr. Mingdao, before his death, he gave me the book "Knowing Benevolence" and taught me the way to be sincere and respect benevolence..."

"I also read Hengqu's books and Guan Xujiang's articles..."

Zhao Xu shed tears as he spoke.

I was injured and couldn't get up from the ground.

You have to think of a way to coax me!

As Zhao Xu spoke, his eyes began to drift towards Fan Bailu, the sitting man sitting behind the screen at the other end of the quiet room.
