Chapter 25: New Officials Take Charge

It is not often that people send charcoal in the snow, but people who fall into the well are often there.

Zhao Huan came to fall into the well, because he suddenly found that Empress Zheng has been a little too concerned about the little fifth son recently, although neither of them is biological, but Queen Zheng doesn't care much about him, the prince, but instead cares about the little fifth son who is not even a prince, isn't this insulting?

Hearing that Zhao Huan was coming, Empress Zheng was also a little surprised, but she still ordered someone to pass him in.

Then he turned his head and said softly to Zhao Rui: "The mourning family has a general look, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Dingnan, regardless of appearance and temperament, is more compatible with the emperor, if you are satisfied, the mourning family will order someone to prepare."

As he spoke, he beckoned to the palace maid, and then saw the palace maid take a pair from many paintings.

Zhao Rui stared at it, and saw the girl in the painting looking back, her eyebrows were picturesque, shy and timid, and she looked like I was pitiful.

I don't know if it's a preconceived idea, or if I already have Xiao Xian'er's shadow in my heart, no matter how much I see that girl now, I will subconsciously compare it with her.

Compared with Xiao Xian'er, the girl in front of her is beautiful enough, but she lacks a little aura and heroism, she looks like a good girl, such a girl may be good as a wife, but she definitely lacks interest...

"Sons see queen mother"

Zhao Huan's voice interrupted Zhao Rui's reverie, and he looked at it in a flash, and just happened to see Zhao Huan's gaze sweeping towards him.

"Brother has seen the prince!"

The ceremony cannot be abolished, no matter where it is, after Zhao Rui gave Zhao Huan a salute, Queen Zheng slowly spoke.

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, come to the mourning family, but is there anything wrong?"

"It's true that there is something wrong with the son, but..."

When Zhao Huan said this, his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhao Rui, obviously what he was about to say didn't want Zhao Rui to hear.

Without waiting for Empress Zheng's reaction, Zhao Rui hurriedly turned his head to Empress Zheng and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, my father has just appointed my son as the young minister of Bianjing Mansion, and there are still many things to do, so I won't accompany my mother today, but the affairs of my son are up to the queen mother, and my son must obey it."

Empress Zheng actually had a lot to say to Zhao Rui, but since she was interrupted by Zhao Huan, she couldn't say anything more, so she said: "If you come out to do things, you will no longer be a child, you must be clean and enforce the law impartially, go!" ”

"The retainers obey the order, and the retainers retire!"

After Zhao Rui walked out of the hall, Empress Zheng turned her head and said lightly to Zhao Huan: "Can you say it now?" ”

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the reason why her son has something to say behind his back is because this matter is related to him"

Without Zhao Huan's explanation, Empress Zheng had already thought of it, but she didn't like Zhao Huan's way of making small reports.

frowned slightly, and said with a little displeasure: "You are the crown prince, the eldest brother of the princes, if they are really wrong, you can preach directly, do you need to be sneaky like this?" ”

Zhao Huan was like a boiled shrimp, and the whole person turned red.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said: "Because it is about the queen mother's name, the son is the minister, and I ask the queen mother to forgive her sins."

Seeing that Zhao Huan was more and more outrageous, Empress Zheng was really a little angry, but Empress Zheng usually had excellent self-cultivation, and although she was angry in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.

"Why do you still get the name of the mourning family?"

"That's the case, a few days ago, the princess of Liao Kingdom arrived in Bianjing, and she was supposed to be a concubine for her son, but somehow, she secretly hooked up with the fifth brother, and not only refused to marry her son afterwards, but also returned to Liao, as far as her son knows, Liao will soon send an envoy to discuss the marriage with the fifth brother, and the son knows that the queen mother is giving the fifth brother Zhang Luo's marriage, so he specially informed the queen mother of this matter in advance, and asked the queen mother to know the truth."

After saying this in one breath, Zhao Huan couldn't help but sigh, the taste of making a small report behind someone's back was really uncomfortable.

Empress Zheng often lives in the deep palace, and she really doesn't know about it, if what Zhao Huan said is true, then Zhao Rui's kid is too bad, and it can also be said that he has committed the crime of bullying the king.

However, now Zhao Rui's impression in the eyes of Queen Zheng is obviously higher than Zhao Huan, so just Zhao Huan's words will not play a role at all.

Nodding and saying, "The mourning family knows, you can go!" ”

Zhao Huan couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart I have worked so hard, my mouth is dry in the vernacular, you old man I know it's over?

"The Queen Mother?"

"I'm tired of mourning, step down!"

Empress Zheng said, ignored Zhao Huan anymore, and got up and walked back directly.

Zhao Huan had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Back in her bedroom, Empress Zheng still couldn't calm down, muttered for a moment, and said, "Someone! Biography Li Yan "...

Out of the palace, Zhao Rui really went straight to the palace, and said that the new official took office with three fires, the first fire had been burned to Lu Qian, and the next was the second fire.

Hearing that Zhao Rui had arrived, Chen Hanliang was very happy, and immediately led everyone in the government to line up to greet him, if he wasn't afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history, he planned to beat the gongs and drums, and then set off a few firecrackers.

Public housing, official uniforms, ribbons, etc., have long been prepared.

Zhao Rui was not polite, and after changing into the official uniform in the back hall, he immediately asked Chen Hanliang to be promoted.

According to the Song system, Yin of Bianjing Mansion was a high-ranking official of the third grade, while Shao Yin was just a minor official of the sixth grade.

But Chen Hanliang, a third-grade high-ranking official, obviously didn't dare to put up a stand in front of Zhao Rui, a six-grade official, not only that, when Zhao Rui was dressed up, he also planned to give up the position to Zhao Rui, but Zhao Rui sternly refused.

Cleaning up the mess for you is enough to give you face, if you give up the main seat again, isn't it equivalent to roasting Lao Tzu on the fire?

Chen Hanliang couldn't give in when he saw Qian, so he had to sit on the main seat by himself, and then set up a table for Zhao Rui on the side.

It was the first time that two tables were placed in the hall of the government office, and for a while, the civil and military officials at all levels, such as pushers, judges, and chief arresters, who were standing in the hall, could not say what it was like in their hearts.

Although some people can understand Chen Hanliang's difficulties, many people also sneered secretly, a gentleman is just a prince, how can He De be in such an important position? I'm afraid that after the gold plating, let's go! ...

"Ladies and gentlemen, Bianjing has had a series of accidents recently, and His Majesty feels that the power of the government is insufficient, so His Royal Highness the King of the County is hereby appointed to the post of Shaoyin, and I hope that all your lordships will work together to fully assist Your Highness in governing Bianjing."

After Chen Hanliang finished speaking with a dignified face, when he turned to Zhao Rui, he immediately changed his smiling face and said with a smile: "What should I do next, please show Your Highness"

Zhao Rui smiled slightly, did not shirk, got up and hugged his fists to everyone in the hall and said: "This king adheres to the order of his father and serves as the post of Shaoyin, and he will rely on everyone in the future, this king announced that from now on, Bianjing will begin to implement a 30-day crackdown, during the crackdown, all those who commit adultery, whether high-ranking officials or ordinary people, will be dealt with severely and quickly, and several major cases that have recently occurred in Bianjing must be cracked as soon as possible..."

After listening to Zhao Rui's words, the officials at all levels of the government were blindsided, although the word "strike hard" is quite fresh, but anyone can understand it, and a thought welled up in everyone's hearts at the same time, could it be that this is the legendary new official with three fires? But the question is, if you are cracking down hard in the capital, have you offended those high-ranking officials and dignitaries?

"Your Highness, what do you think of Lord Chen?"

With a stunned voice shouting, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Hanliang, who was sitting in the middle.

I saw Chen Fuyin as if he had sheep madness, foaming at the mouth, his body stiffened, and he was slowly falling backwards...
