Chapter 33: I want to be an official of the court

Song Huizong fell silent, and now there were only Song Huizong, Empress Xiansu and Zhao Shu left in the entire room, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who were used to serve had retreated outside Empress Xiansu's bedroom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Without the interference of Cai Jing and others, Song Huizong was still able to weigh the pros and cons.

Empress Xiansu has never liked to ask about political affairs, so she can't talk about it. Zhao Shu didn't want to continue to say anything, although Liangshan was his own military hole card in the future, and he had to do his best to protect them under the imperial authority of Song Huizong, but Zhao Shu had already said that the so-called speed would not be reached, and it would only be counterproductive to continue talking.

"Ahem......" Seeing that the scene was becoming embarrassing, Queen Xiansu, who was sitting on the side, coughed and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day of Shu'er's expedition, although we are in the same imperial city, but our family is also rare to get together, and it is not bad for the emperor to discuss state affairs as the king of a country!" ”

Song Huizong was embarrassed, immediately changed his mind, and said, "Yes, yes, yes." What the queen said is very true, I have not eaten together with your mother and you for a long time, although we are all in the palace, but your mother is in charge of the harem, I am busy with state affairs, and you have your business to do! The day after tomorrow, you will set out on the expedition, and today, I and your queen mother will toast you with a glass of magnificent wine! ”

What are you busy with state affairs, most of your time chanting poems during the day, and going out of the palace to the Qinglou in the capital at night to find Master Li, Zhao Shu glanced at Song Huizong, of course, you can't say that.

"Then today, the son will have a drink with his father and queen mother!" Zhao Shu immediately catered to him.

Zhao Shu's words made Song Huizong very happy, and shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Liu Yuan ran in with his little feet holding Buddha Chen, and said, "Official! What do you command? ”

"Call the Imperial Chef! Prepare some meals, my family needs to get together! ”

"Obey the order!" After saying that, Liu Yuan quickly retreated.

First of all, Song Huizong, Zhao Shu and Empress Xiansu made some household chores, Zhao Shu used all the funny words in later generations to this, not only Song Huizong knew how to lean forward and lean back, but even Empress Xiansu, who has always been dignified and rigorous, smiled from ear to ear, and her right hand frequently blocked her mouth, she felt that her right hand was almost sore.

"Queen Mother, now the family is chatting about some family life, and there are no outsiders, why be so formal?" Looking at Empress Xiansu like this, she was amused, so troublesome, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Empress Xiansu closed her mouth, her face immediately became serious, and said, "Whether inside or outside, etiquette still needs to be paid attention to!" ”

"That's it! Shu'er is also an official of the imperial court now, and in a few years, he will be given the gift of a weak crown, how can you still educate him like a child! Besides, when a family talks, why should you be so formal? Regarding Empress Xiansu's words, Song Huizong was very unhappy.

Empress Xiansu didn't speak, and the scene suddenly fell into embarrassment again, Zhao Shu took advantage of this to come up and relieve the siege and said: "Father and Emperor said that he was joking, and his son is not an official of the court now!" ”

"You are the minister of the Qin mission who recruited the thieves of Anliang Mountain on behalf of me, how can you not be an official of the imperial court?" Song Huizong retorted.

Zhao Shu pursed his lips, thinking to himself, when the opportunity comes, he must not let it go, and said: "The minister of the Qin mission is exercising the power of recruiting the thieves of Liangshan Mountain!" After the Liangshan thief Kou Zhao'an, didn't I, the minister of the Qin Mission, have to be taken back by your father, the emperor? ”

"Shu'er! Don't be arrogant, you haven't dried up now, this Liangshan thief has always been arrogant! Did you say that you can recruit an if you go to recruit An? Empress Xiansu looked at Zhao Shu unhappily and said.

Zhao Shu took a moment and said: "What the queen mother said is also true, if this Liangshan thief succeeds in recruiting An, he will become my Great Song Dynasty official army, and if Zhao'an fails, he will be attacked by my Great Song Dynasty official army, and the jade will be burned." No matter whether it succeeds or fails, the word thief will no longer exist, and won't the minister's position as a minister be taken back by his father? Therefore, Erchen is not a court official! ”

"......." Song Huizong was speechless for a moment, this kid obviously came to dismantle Lao Tzu's platform, but he seemed to think of something, and said: "You don't have to provoke me here, if you want to ask me for an official, just say it!" ”

Even if Song Huizong is mediocre, he is not stupid, he is used to seeing the old fritters in the court for so many years, he can't see Zhao Shu's tricks?

The purpose was discovered, and Zhao Shu was very embarrassed now, neither advancing nor retreating, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Zhao Shu's embarrassment, Song Huizong glanced at Empress Xiansu's flickering eyes again, he knew that Empress Xiansu didn't want people who had anything to do with him to participate in the court dispute, let alone his own son, Song Huizong thought for a moment and said, "That's it!" If you succeed in recruiting Liangshan thieves, I will worship you as the general of the right guard, if you can't recruit An, you will honestly return to the palace to be your king of Jian'an County, and never be knighted! ”

Hehe, General of the Right Guard? This official is in the Tang Dynasty, but he is a general with heavy troops and power! Anyone who has watched the series of TV series "Detective Di Renjie" knows that Li Yuanfang, the general of Qianniuwei, and Wang Xiaojie, the general of the right Weiwei, which is not Niu X, is very good, but this is the Song Dynasty! It's not the same! Zhao Shu understands this very well.

Now in front of his "parents", there are no annoying officials and ministers of imperial history in the imperial court, just his own queen mother, as long as he doesn't touch her scales, it's easy to say anything, so Zhao Shu took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, and said: "Father! What Erchen wants is not a sanitation officer with no real power in vain, if so, how different is it from Erchen now? What Erchen wants is a real official position, not for Yulu, not for fame, not for the storage position, but Erchen feels that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there are several generations of Huyan family and Yang family who will fight for the eternal existence of my Great Song Dynasty. to show his determination to resist to the death. The minister with a foreign surname can still be like this, and the son, as a member of the Zhao family, is ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors if he does not do something for the Zhao family. At the moment, the Western Xia provoked the border, and the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, and the Western Army should not act rashly; In the north, the Khitan Liao State is eyeing the tiger, and our Great Song Dynasty has no barrier of Youyun and Sixteen Prefectures, so the officials and troops of Hedong and Hebei Zhulu cannot easily go south. However, in the south, Liangshan and Fangla were in turmoil, so the sons and daughters asked Ying to recruit An Liangshan, and asked the father and emperor to continue to lead the troops of Liangshan to crusade against Fang La after the success of the sons and daughters of Liangshan! If it doesn't work, then as my father said, I will be my king of Jian'an from now on, and I will not be promoted! ”

Zhao Shu is now completely ruined, there is no other way, if he goes to Cai Jing, although Cai Jing and him feel like a grasshopper on a rope, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, so Zhao Shu has no choice but to do this.

Leading the troops to fight is not an official in the imperial court, and it does not involve party disputes, so there is no embarrassment on the face of Queen Xiansu, but there is a lot of worry between the eyebrows, after all, the leader of the army is outside, and he has been fighting for a long time in the east and west, and he may not have anything to do.

It's just that now everything depends on Song Huizong, and Empress Xiansu is just worried, and she can't say anything.

Song Huizong pondered for a while, and thought hard about what Zhao Shu said, since Zhao Shu had said everything to this point, and said that he would not set off a dispute for the prince, then he could rest assured! It is said that since Emperor Taizu founded the country, the Great Song Dynasty has used all means to prevent the military generals from supporting the army and self-respecting, which will lead to rebellion. Zhao Shu said this, if the royal family leads the troops and uses the royal family to contain other generals, then there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the generals. Don't worry that Zhao Shu will be the second Li Shimin, he himself said that he is not a reserve.

Thinking like this, Song Huizong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you succeed in recruiting An!" I will allow you to lead the troops of Liangshan to the south! Defeat Fang La! If this position does not violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, I will never take it back! ”
