The Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty is a slightly square palace city. There are seven doors on all sides, three doors in the south (Xuande, Zuoye, and Right), two doors in the east (Donghua, sliding door), Xihua in the west, and Gongchen in the north.

Among them, the Donghua Gate and the Xihua Gate are opposite, opening a wide east-west horizontal street, dividing the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty into two parts: north and south.

The south is the outer court, and the north is the forbidden middle.

In the north of Hengjie, there is Xuanyou Gate and Gongchen Gate opposite, opening an equally spacious north-south straight street, so this palace city forbidden is divided into east and west two areas.

The east is the place where the king, concubines, and princes live and listen to the government, and the west is the place where the inner court institutions and life services are located.

As a result, this majestic imperial city is divided into three independent areas by two avenues that run through it: the southern district, the northwest district, and the northeast district.

Among these three regions, the northwest region is the most core and important.

Because, this area is distributed with Zichen, vertical arch, Chongzheng, Yan and four halls.

In particular, the Chongzheng Hall and the Yanhe Hall are the brain and heart of the Great Song Empire.

Today's Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Zhen's daily listening to politics and summoning ministers are all carried out in these two halls.

As usual, Zhao Zhen has been frequently summoning the ministers since he got up in the morning, listening to the affairs arrangements of the various divisions, and handling the personnel appointments and dismissals of the relevant prefectures and counties.

was busy until the evening, and Zhao Zhen could finally take a breath.

Therefore, the ministers who had been standing behind him immediately brought all kinds of meals and all kinds of soups for the official to choose from.

Zhao Zhen looked at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked: "In today's Spring Fang, can all the life of Shou Guogong be smooth?" ”

"Back to the official's house, the minister heard Yang Huaimin's report, the prince is in Chunfang, everything is safe, and life is fine!" As the most powerful minister by Zhao Zhen's side, Zhang Weiji immediately stepped forward to report, and he also gave Zhao Zhen a living record taken from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhao Zhen then took it and looked at it hastily.

Then, the official's brows furrowed.

"Nonsense!" He threw the book that recorded his son's daily life to Zhang Weiji: "What's the matter with the queen?" Zhang Qing, tell me about it! ”

Although there are only words on this diary, there is no specific description.

But in Zhao Zhen's opinion, she is her own queen, and she is deliberately competing with his concubine.

Zhang Weiji hurriedly lay on the ground, motionless: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the queen may have something to ...... happened."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen knocked on the table in front of him, thoughtfully.

He knew that Zhang Weiji was a minister who was only loyal to him.

Moreover, he is upright and backbone, full of economy, and has a furrow in his chest.

Even the ministers of the foreign dynasty also said, 'Zhang Du knows that he has the style of an ancient gentleman'.

This is an extremely rare and rare evaluation of the ministers!

And Zhang Weiji is also worthy of the evaluation of him by the courtiers!

From a small yellow gate, to the current entry into the inner province of the province, and the promotion of the treasury in Beijing, Zhang Weiji has taken one step at a time, walked steadily, and has done a very good job in every position.

Let him take charge of the tea tax, and he exceeded the three-year tax quota in one year, and the public opinion also spoke highly of him, and did not think that he had anything to do with wanton expropriation or corruption.

Let him be imprisoned in the locality, and in three years, more than a dozen corrupt officials and corrupt officials were arrested.

Among them, there are even big people like Zhizhou.

asked him to serve as Yuan Hao's official envoy, send Yuan Hao, and when he came back, Zhang Weiji immediately reported that Yuan Hao wanted to rebel, and asked to immediately rectify the border defense and strengthen the military deployment along the border!

And that was still three years of Jingyou.

What's even more commendable is that this minister has military merits!

Last year, Zhang Weiji was ordered to go to Bingzhou and Fenzhou to recruit soldiers to support Fan Zhongyan's Qiyan Road.

When he rushed to Qiyan Road with the army recruited by Merge and Fen, he happened to encounter Yuan Hao's attack. After carefully examining the situation of the enemy and us, Zhang Weiji ordered the soldiers not to advance lightly and fight steadily, so he successfully forced Yuan Hao back.

That's incredible!

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty have always liked to use ministers with military merits.

Therefore, after Zhang Weiji came back, he was appointed as the governor of the province of Inner Service, and promoted the treasury affairs in Beijing as his own official.

In short, let him take care of Zhao Zhen's money bag.

The trust and love for Zhang Weiji is beyond words.

"The minister may think that the queen may know something......" Zhang Weiji lay on the ground and said: "The minister heard that on Xin Si Day, after the prince woke up, he chased the king of the inner hall to obey the rules......"

"Later, the rule-abiding brother is loyal to the Guogong, and he invites himself to know Jingdong Road......"

"Today, the rules are abided by, but they suddenly move to Ninghua Palace......"

Zhao Zhen listened, and his expression gradually became solemn.

After a long time, the official suddenly laughed: "Zhang Cairen is really messing around......"

"Talented people like to abide by the rules, loyalty, and meticulousness, and if you want to obey the rules and serve, you can talk to me directly......"

"...... like this" The official stood up and ordered: "Zhang Qing, you go to Ninghua Hall for me, tell Zhang Cairen what I mean, and say, the affairs of Chunfang, the talented people will not take care of it in the future, and the talented people will raise the princess in the palace with peace of mind......"

"Zhang Qing will go to Baoqing Hall for me again, and ask Miao Cairen to move to Chunfang tomorrow to take care of and raise Shou Guogong!"

Zhang Weiji immediately received the order and bowed: "The minister respects the will of the official!" ”

"Zhang Qing wait first!" Zhao Zhen stopped Zhang Weiji, who was about to say goodbye, and ordered someone to find a piece of rice paper, then took pen and ink, wrote a paragraph in flying white font on this rice paper, and then handed it to Zhang Weiji: "Qing left the palace overnight, go and hand over this edict to Shen Guogong, and let Shen Guogong do it according to my requirements......"

This is to send down the text inward, so as to confer on the minister, and order the minister to obey it.

Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he has rarely intervened in the administration of the two governments.

So, Zhang Weiji took a deep breath and bowed: "Respect the edict!" ”

This one knows that things may be going to be big.

Because, the official family can't hide the words from people, and sooner or later they will be known.

Why does the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty have such a semi-derogatory title as 'Chitose'?

It was because of the official family that the text was lowered, and when the then Prime Minister Zhang Shixun was ordered to open the back door for Zhang Cairen's uncle Zhang Yaozuo, he was called 'Chitose' on the paper.

So, all of a sudden, the whole of Bianjing knew.

Zhang Shixun had no choice, so he had to quickly build a mansion for himself, called 'Chitose Hall' from the black, so that he could pass the danger.

From then on, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty would be ridiculed by his main enemy with 'Chitose'.

Therefore, Zhang Weiji did not dare to slack off, with the decree of the Son of Heaven, except for the Yanhe Palace, he quietly opened it and took a look.

Just this glance, this Du Zhi shrunk his neck, then shook his head and sighed: "People are all the best Liu San has become a romantic character, but ...... Now it seems that today's officials are the real ......"

For a favorite concubine, he spoke good words and interceded with the prime minister.

This official is already the second time!
