Chapter 3: Out of the limelight
Prime Minister Han was surprised: "Your Majesty, among the ministers, especially Lord Lu, what he said is completely reasonable, I, the Great Song Dynasty, should seize the opportunity to train the troops, and take precautions."
Zhao Kuo shook his head, "You Aiqing don't need to say it, external worries and internal troubles, what I care more about is the corruption within my Great Song Dynasty, I have heard more than once that there are countless unjust, false and wrongful cases among the people, and the position of the director of the Criminal Prison Department is changed every three years, which leads to such things happening one after another." ”
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to talk more, Han Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Kuan was rehabilitated by Yue Fei and named King Yue, and he should be able to distinguish the truth from the false.
"Lord Lu, and Prime Minister Lord Han, I am not advocating peace with the Jin people, but I want you to pay attention to their movements at any time, if there are other actions, my Great Song cannot sit idly by."
The two of them took the order.
At the back of the crowd, when did Song Ci ever see such a scene? He had never seen the emperor, and he was excited at the moment.
Zhao Kuo saw him at a glance and bent his fingers, "Little friend in the back, are you Song Ci, the son of Song Lao's punishment?"
Song Ci immediately went forward and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the grass people are Song Ci, and I am very excited to see the emperor for the first time today."
Zhao Kuo said: "It's not so exciting, I am also driven by mortals, and I don't have an extra head and an extra arm, Song Ci doesn't need to praise, but you can take the lead in the work, so that I am impressed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was amazed, Song Ci didn't know it, but Song Gong knew that he had been an official in the same dynasty for decades, and he had only returned to his hometown not long ago.
This son is in his early twenties, and he knows everything about it, and the Criminal Department and the Great Song Dynasty are probably going to set off a ****.
Zhao Kuo continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the post of director of the prison is changed every three years, and now it happens to be vacant, I propose that Song Ci take the position, how about it?"
Prime Minister Han was surprised: "What the emperor said is extremely true, Song Lao has been an honest official all his life, and his son-in-law is in charge of the Criminal Prison Department, and the minister has no opinion."
Lu You said: "The minister and Lord Han have the same opinion, Song Ci is young and has little to do, and he can take on the post of criminal prison department."
In the Xuande Palace, there are different opinions at this moment, Wu Xi said: "Song Ci is not very old, he has no experience in raising punishment, the minister thinks that the emperor's move is inappropriate, Song Ci should start from the county, it is better to give him a county, how about it?"
Lord Cao said: "The minister agrees with Lord Wu's point of view, although Song Ci is familiar with the position, but he does not know how to be an official, how can he be asked to take on such a position as the director of the prison?" Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he might as well let Song Ci exercise for a few years, first distribute the two lakes and two Guangzhou, and seal him as a magistrate, if he doesn't make a mistake within two years, how about rewarding the criminal officer?"
Zhao Kuo thought about it, even if he was the emperor, he had to listen to the opinions of these civil and military officials, and said at this moment: "Song Ci, I appreciate you very much, but I have to listen to the words of these hundred officials, why don't you be like this, I will appoint you as a criminal prison officer to investigate my Song Dynasty's unjust, false and wrongful cases, how about it?"
Song Ci said: "The grass people are arranged by the emperor, and whatever the emperor arranges, the grass people will do."
Zhao Kuo laughed: "Don't look at this point, the prison officer has no position, but he has huge authority, and he can investigate any county government in my Great Song Dynasty, including the palace."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the Hall of Election had cold sweat on their foreheads, and they felt that something big was about to happen.
Song Ci knew that the emperor was attaching importance to himself, so he immediately knelt down: "Thank you, the emperor, the grass people will do their best to punish the traitors and eliminate evil for the Great Song Dynasty, and return all the wronged people in the world to their innocence."
Prime Minister Han Fuxuan said: "Song Ci, the emperor is attaching importance to you, don't let down the emperor's expectations, I and the ministers are waiting for you in the palace, and we will be officials together in the future."
Song Ci said: "Thank you Lord Han for reminding me, Song Ci will definitely do his best to make meritorious contributions to the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhao expanded his hand and ordered the eunuch from the table to hand over the official seal, the appointment document issued by the Ministry of History, and the official uniform.
"Song Ci, these items are proof that you are an official, as soon as this item comes out, any county order of my Great Song Dynasty, including the prefect, will have to listen to you, but I have to remind you of one thing, remember not to bend the law for personal gain, otherwise I will not spare you!"
Song Ci received the order and took these types of items, "Thank you for the emperor's information, and keep it in mind." ”
"Well, there is one more thing, as a prison officer, I will naturally offend many people, today I will send you two guards, Wencheng Wenwu, and you will not come out?"
After this voice fell, the two people walked out of the rear of the Xuande Palace, wearing armor, Kong Wu was powerful, and at first glance it was Lian Jiazi, the two came to the main hall to salute, Zhao Kuo said: "You two, from today onwards, you are responsible for Song Ci's safety, if you miss, I will ask you!"
"Yes!" The two of them took the order and came to Song Ci's side.
Song Ci said: "Thank you for the emperor's love, the ministers will definitely live up to their love, and the golden monkey will rise to the top of the golden monkey, and Yuyu will clarify thousands of miles." It's also a big song!"
Zhao Guangguang smiled, he loved Song Ci so much, and it was because of this.
At the end of the Xuande Palace, everyone left the palace, and when they were walking outside the palace, Wu Xi and Lord Cao chased after them and blocked Song Ci's way.
"Song Ci, I said that you were just in the court, but you were out of the limelight, have you ever thought about what Lord Cao and I think?"
Song Ci hugged his fists and said: "Two adults, I don't know where Song offended you, if there is anything wrong, I hope to be considerate, Song entered the palace for the first time, and it was also the first time to enter the palace of Electode, and I hope that the two adults will be more cool."
Cao Gang said: "Song Ci, what you said is serious, in fact, Lord Wu and I have not been offended by you, but I just think that your qualifications are not enough, I am afraid that you will not be able to serve as a criminal officer, or Cao, tell me in the emperor, how about giving you a prefect or prefect?"
Song Ci saw what they were thinking and explained: "It turns out that the two adults think so much, but I'm sorry for the two adults, Song has been learning from his father since he was a child, and now what is he doing as a prefect?" Isn't it all messed up?"
Wu Xi's expression changed slightly, "Song Ci, do you know that this position of criminal officer is not high, perhaps, you have been in this position for ten or twenty years, I am afraid you will not be promoted, today is the first time you have entered the Hall of Virtue, and it may be the last time, can you believe it?"
With a full view of the two of them, Song Ci could see the threat or warning.
On the side, Wen Cheng and Wenwu also felt the meaning of these words, they were the people around Emperor Zhao Kuo, but they were not afraid of Cao Gang and Wu Xi.
"Two adults, I'm sorry, Song Mou's life is only for the sake of serving, just to seek justice for the people, whether this official is promoted or not, it all depends on the emperor, of course, if he can enter the imperial court, Song Mou is naturally happy, but if he has served as a prison officer for the rest of his life, it is not bad, at least happy and happy, isn't it?"
