When Zhu Zilong stepped off the sedan chair, he still felt so sleepy. If it weren't for the fact that there was something really going on today, I really didn't want to come to the court. In front of Inspector Yushi, he yawned, but the other party seemed to be invisible, but instead stepped forward to curry favor with Zhu Zilong.

This is the magic of favor and power, rules are dead, but people are alive. Along the way, all the officials bowed to Zhu Zilong, and the voices of greetings were endless, after all, Zhu Zilong was the prince. By rank, they are all greater than their officials.

Only those real ministers who have real power in their hands just nod slightly, even if they ask Zhu Zilong to do something. Among them, Zhao Tingzhi nodded slightly, and the hostility was obvious.

Hmph, let you be proud, your good days are over today.

Zhu Zilong thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time looked at Ma Zhengli and the others from a distance. But at this moment, the prince also came over from the East Palace, and when he saw Zhu Zilong, his face suddenly turned a little dark.

This is another guy who likes to go against Zhu Zilong, Zhu Zilong looked at it a few times with a smile on his face. I wanted to go up and say hello to the prince, but when I saw that people didn't respond at all, I had to do it.

When I turned my head, I saw a group of people surrounding Cai Jing and walking over from far and near.

For Cai Jingneng to come on time every time, Zhu Zilong is not surprised. Because it is said that he has such a cautious personality, he came to wait outside the noon gate before the time came, and this habit has not changed even when people are old.

Cai Jing saw Zhu Zilong's gaze coming at him, and responded with a smile on his face from afar. After getting closer, he suddenly walked up to Zhu Zilong alone and said, "The prince rarely comes to the court, today is really rare." I guess it must be that the Ten Thousand Beasts and the Chamber of Commerce are too busy, right? Hehe, the old man is in charge of the Huashi Gang, and the prince is in charge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang, which is really a double gang in the DPRK and China, and one old and one young rule is holy. ”

"Xiangye is too humble, how can Xiao Wang compare with you!" The corners of Zhu Zilong's mouth twitched, the matter of the Ten Thousand Beasts is really not a good thing. The other party used this matter to exchange goodwill with him, which really made Zhu Zilong not know how to say it.

The prince and Zhao Tingzhi in the distance, the two factions saw Zhu Zilong and Cai Jing talking very well, and their faces were even more unhappy.

Seeing that Cai Jing didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he kept wanting to turn around on the topic of the Ten Thousand Beasts. Zhu Zilong decided to change the topic immediately, and immediately arched his hand and said: "This king used to be debauched, ignorant and shallow, and often offended the master. Please also ask the elderly and the young to not take it to heart. ”

Faced with Zhu Zilong's low profile, Cai Jingxian was very surprised. Hurriedly helped Zhu Zilong up and said: "The prince is too worried, who doesn't have a time when he is young and frivolous?" Now that the prodigal son of the prince has turned back, the holy grace is flourishing, and his words and deeds have a great impact, but he has not carried away, which really makes the old man look at him differently. In the past, it should be regarded as a light smoke, and it should be dissipated long ago, so you don't have to take it to heart. You and I are in the same hall and are a country, you don't have to divide the elder and the younger, just look at it with equal courtesy! ”

Zhu Zilong was very polite and complimented a few words, and then stopped. In this way, it is also seen that the other party is an old qualification, and it is always good to regain authority, and to have fewer strong enemies in the DPRK.

The most important thing is that there is no deep enmity between the two sides, and there is the possibility of cooperation. And like Zhao Tingzhi, the prince and others, even if Zhu Zilong is willing to lower his figure, it is estimated that it is impossible to really get together, so there is no need to be embarrassed.

Cai Jing on the side suddenly seemed to be talking to himself, and said as if reminding: "Now that I have a prime minister, a secondary minister, and two auxiliary ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, a total of four people, according to the practice of the imperial court, it is okay to add another auxiliary minister." From the time of Zhenzong, our dynasty only treated the members of the royal family with leniency, and the imperial examination could be an official, and the range of candidates for the prime minister was different from before! ”

Zhu Zilong's eyes widened, and he looked at Cai Jing in disbelief, is this a hint?

Really, it's incredible?

Is this a hint that you want me to take refuge in you, and then help me enter the court as a supplementary minister?

I have to say, your brain hole is even more open than that of a traverser. Zhu Zilong looked at Cai Jing and thought to himself, no wonder you have the reputation of being a determined person in disguise and a genius in disguise by Wang Anshi.

However, it can also be seen. That's an interesting idea!

In any case, hereditary monarchs—whether emperors or kings—have clans, close branches and sparse clans. However, as far as I know, the Song dynasty clan is unique in the world, they are a patrilineal family with no limit on generations, and the imperial power grants them privileges and funding!

Of course, it is also clearly defined? Beyond the fifth class is not considered a relative? (Over the fifth grade is not a parent). Just because you are not a relative, you can enter the court as an official, and it is not too much to be a prime minister.

It's just that if you let the prince of the dynasty, even if there is a Taoist official, it is a very special existence. Is it really possible to get into a complementary position?

If it is a prince, no matter what kind of official he is, it is an internship before becoming an emperor, and there is a precedent to be found. It seems to be said in the past, for example, Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, who was successively crowned King of Han, King Xiang and King Shou, once served as Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.

Another example is Song Shenzong, who was awarded the deputy rate of the government, and was promoted to the general of the right Qianniuwei three times. Later, he was crowned as the envoy of the loyal army, and the same book was under the Pingzhang. And almost when the last phase or something!

But after all, Zhu Zilong is not the prince now, well, wait, is there a deeper hint in this implication?

At this moment, Zhu Zilong's heart beat deeply. His eyes were slit, looking at Cai Jing, who had walked away, and he was silent for a long time.

-

It's just that I don't wait for Zhu Zilong to think about it. Above the noon gate, the bell rang, and the noon gate slowly opened.

The pilgrimage has begun!

Looking up at the three words "Jiying Palace" on the palace, Zhu Zilong let go of the cranky thoughts just now and temporarily suppressed them. Following the prince and the others, he walked in.

Jiying Hall was built in the early years of Zhao Kuangyin, formerly known as Guangzheng Palace, and was renamed Jiying Hall in 1032. It is the place where the emperor plans to try the jinshi and holds the spring and autumn banquet every year, which is not the location of the early dynasty, but who made the emperor now, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who is the least like the emperor?

People just want to engage in personality and not take the usual path!

In the palace, the military generals stand on the right, and the civil officials stand on the left. An internal official stepped forward to remind Zhu Zilong to stand at the front, okay, this is the privilege of the prince and the prince, and it can be judged regardless of the size of the official position.

After waiting for a while, it was obvious that the emperor had bounced again. Just when everyone was speechless, they heard a eunuch shouting: "The emperor has arrived~~~ The ministers greet you!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!" "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!" "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"

In the midst of everyone's shouting long live, Zhu Zilong's cheap emperor father walked over slowly and frivolously and sat on the dragon chair.

Zhu Zilong, who raised his head and waisted, still had a good impression of the Song Dynasty. After all, no one likes to kneel at every turn, and the Song Dynasty didn't have to kneel when he saw the emperor, so he had the feeling of human rights!

Of course, compared with earlier dynasties, there is still a gap between the hundred officials who can sit in the court. Alas!

(In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that the three dukes sat down and talked about the Tao, so in the previous dynasties, the hundred officials could sit on the court like the emperor.) After Song Taizu, the ministers could only stand in the court, but in the Ming Dynasty, not only were they not allowed to sit, they couldn't stand, they had to kneel and talk. And in the Qing Dynasty, it was really kneeling to death, and the bones were broken! ）
