I studied in modern times

Chapter 74
Behind the screen, Queen Mother Xiang has been listening to the conversation between Sixth Brother, Gao Gongji and her younger brother Xiang Zonghui in the palace.

I am quite proud!

Because, Sixth Brother speaks very well and doesn't have any stage fright.

Explain everything she taught clearly.

He even played a part of it himself.

It makes her so proud!

However, listening to it, things seem to be a little different.

"Why does Sixth Brother suddenly want to confer a beauty official on the country?" The Queen Mother Xiang didn't even react immediately.

When she realized it, she saw Brother Six's eyes full of hope from behind the screen.

This made the Empress Dowager Xiang feel soft.

"Sixth Brother, do you know what an official is a beautiful official?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile behind the screen.

In the hall, Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui got down on the knees after hearing the Queen Mother's voice.

"Empress Dowager..."

"You're here too..."

"Isn't there a queen mother here?" Zhao Xu looked at the queen mother eagerly: "If my son doesn't understand, the queen mother can teach me!"

I thought about it to the queen mother, although I felt that it seemed a little wrong to do so.

But since the sixth brother begged her.

Moreover, she also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Sixth Brother had any talent in government affairs?

Can he be as smart as he is in reading?
Compared with this, whether it is to confer an official on Gao Gongji or her younger brother, it is a trivial matter!

To put it bluntly, as long as the sixth brother is as smart as he is in reading in this matter, then, Queen Mother Xiang feels that whether it is Gao Gongji or Xiang Zonghui, even if he is dead now, he will still have meritorious service to the country and the world, and he can smile happily.

Therefore, the little matter of the ruling and opposition parties was directly ignored by the Queen Mother.

Is there anything more important than letting officials try to hold power, select officials, and promote ministers?
These thoughts turned around in the Queen Mother's mind, and she said dotingly: "Since Sixth Brother wants to be an official, then let's do it!"

"Shi Deyi!" called out to the Queen Mother.

As soon as Shi De left, he appeared from behind the screen: "Your Majesty, listen to your mother's will!"

"Go to the capital hall and see who is in charge today, invite him here, and ask him to bring the hall book along with you..."

"Wei!" Shi De saluted again.

……

Shangshu Xinxing, Dutang Lingting Hall.

Nothing to do today, Zhang Dun is flipping through his past works.

His gaze was on a poem called: Purple Pavilion written many years ago.

The past happened one after another, emerging in my heart.

The voice and appearance of an old friend from many years ago seems to be still in front of my eyes.

"Su Zizhan!" He chuckled, then raised a glass of wine, and greeted him in the direction of Changzhou.

He knew that there was one emperor and one courtier.

Maybe, Su Shi and Su Zizhan will recover soon.

At that time, the two may still be ministers in the same palace.

Just as he was thinking about the past, an old official pushed the door open and came in, and said: "Provincial Assistant, the Empress Dowager has sent Shi Duzhi to serve in the Imperial Palace to deliver the decree!"

Zhang Dun got up immediately and asked, "Do you know what happened to the Empress Dowager?"

"I don't know!"

"Please Shi Duzhi come in and talk!" Zhang Dun said.

Not long after, Shi Deyi arrived in Zhang Dun's command hall.

Zhang Dun was still very afraid of Shi Deyi.

The big Diao Dang of the Daxing Emperor has been in charge of the Investigation Department for more than ten years.

Participated in the conclusion of countless major cases.

When Emperor Daxing was alive, when encountering a case or a matter of controversy between the government and the opposition, he would always send Shi Deyi's pawns first to collect information.

Chen Shiru's mother-killing case, Chen Anmin's bribery case, Taixue fraud case, Wutai poetry case...

Shi Deyi and his pawns were all active in it.

And repeatedly provided reliable information for the final ruling of Emperor Daxing.

Therefore, Zhang Dun has a natural fear of Shi Deyi.

"You all know you're here, what's the important thing?" Zhang Dun asked.

"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, the provincial assistant and Du Tangbo are invited to obey orders under the Yingyang Gate!" Zhang Dun was astonished when Shi De said it.

"Everything is dignified? The emperor obeys orders?" Zhang Dun grasped the point, and immediately asked, "I know why the empress dowager has such a decree?"

"But everyone summoned Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui today, and heard that the relatives of the country had never sent an official position, so they wanted to extend their grace to appoint an official!" Shi Deyi said calmly: "Therefore, the empress dowager ordered the provincial assistant and the minister to stand by the imperial court!"

After Zhang Dun heard this, his chest immediately heaved violently.

"It's your Majesty who wants to send the two relatives of the country, so Your Highness the Empress Dowager invited you all to come to the capital hall to deliver the decree?" Zhang Dun asked excitedly, grabbing Shi Deyi's hand.

Shi Deyi still nodded calmly: "It is exactly as the provincial assistant said!"

Zhang Dun took a deep breath.

He, Shangshu Zuocheng and door servant, did not come here casually.

He started from the selection of candidates, step by step, and slowly climbed to the top of the hall.

He has been a local official close to the people and also a shogunate official.

When I was young, I was appreciated, pushed out, and hit by others.

He has not only been a civil servant like a Hanlin scholar.

He also presided over specific reforms and implementations in the Military Weapons Supervision.

He also served as the third envoy and personally took charge of the world's economy and finance.

He has killed people, but also spared people, he has established temple schools, and destroyed temples of prostitution and evil.

Therefore, he was acutely aware of something almost immediately!
Zhang Dun forced himself to calm down, then looked at Shi Deyi, cupped his hands and said, "Please wait here for a while, I'm going to fetch the Tang Bo!"

Then Zhang Dun walked to the main hall of Lingting Hall with trembling steps.

Then, from Cai Que's order hall in the past, he took out the thin booklet that symbolized the power of the chief ministers of the Song Dynasty.

This is Tang Bo.

Since Taizu, the country employs people, although it is not limited to one or two methods.

But generally speaking, there are only two ways.

One: Grinding, surveying and selecting, waiting for ordinary people and talents of the mean.

Two: The selection and removal of all halls (political affairs halls) to use extraordinary talents and treat exceptionally advanced scholars is a no-brainer.

Therefore, hall selection and hall elimination are called "Shengong Fortune" by people all over the world, and "Tao Zhu" by those who are selected by halls.

And this thin hall book records all the generous dispatches from the capital to the localities in the Song Dynasty today.

The Ministry of Officials cannot or is difficult to intervene in these dispatches.

It is up to the chief ministers of the Dutang (Zhengshitang) to decide!
Therefore, officials all over the world are proud of being elected, and are proud of being elected.

This is the road to Qingyun for promotion, and it is also the shortcut to Nanshan to the two prefectures.

Therefore, foreign relatives, nobles, elders and ministers are all trying their best to stuff the names of their children into the list selected by Dutangtang.

As a result, many dispatches and official positions that were not originally part of Du Tangtang's selection had to be included in Du Tangtang's bo.

In order to deal with this changing situation, someone soon came up with a countermeasure.

That is to create several halls.

Separate the general sending official positions from those real national strengths and weaknesses and important social positions.

In this way, we can grasp the selection of candidates without offending others.

Since then, no matter how the situation changes, this rule has always existed.

What Zhang Dun is holding in his hand at this moment is the real book.

It records the true strengths and weaknesses and the status of important positions among the world's most important divisions in the Song Dynasty.

He carefully held it in his hand, then returned to Shi Deyi's side, and said as calmly as possible: "Please lead the way!"

"Please!"

　Note: Before Yuanfeng was restructured, he was in power as a member of the political affairs committee, known as Dashen.

　　After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the ruling minister of the three provinces was called "Shengzuo"

　　Well, I'll have to think about that next chapter.
