This kind of national event, Zhao Zhen, as the emperor, can't be the master of the specific procedures, and everything is in accordance with the rules. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The next day, he issued an edict to let the eight kings Zhao Yuan tell him to the Taimiao, and sent Yan Shu to tell the heaven and earth, Sheji, and the stone Zhongli of the Taichang Yuan to tell the tombs. Shi Quanbin, who has been working outside, was recalled to the palace to manage all the chores of Miao Cairen.

The prince was born, and the ministers were rewarded again, and Xu Ping was secretly given a golden combination. When he opened it and saw that it was full of melon seed gold, which was two or three hundred taels, Xu Ping's mood was very complicated. This treatment is very rare, and certainly not without purpose.

Miao Cairen's mother, Xu Shi, was originally Zhao Zhen's nursing mother, but she was released from the palace because she was accused of being rumored by the palace maid. After leaving the palace, he married Miao Jizong and gave birth to Miao Cairen. After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, in the second year of Tiansheng, Xu invited the car to drive, told him about his wrongs that year, and was named the county lady.

This kind of family background is very shabby among the harem concubines, and it is comparable to the current Empress Dowager Yang. If after giving birth to a prince, according to the previous rules, she was not raised by her biological mother, then she could get along well with Empress Cao and be safe. This is just like when Zhao Zhen was young, his nominal mother was Empress Dowager Liu, but it was Empress Dowager Yang who actually raised him. It is precisely because the Empress Dowager Yang's family does not have any power in the foreign dynasty, and the only relative, Yang Jingzong, is not yet successful, that the Empress Dowager Liu is relieved enough for her. But now that Zhao Zhen listened to Xu Ping's opinion, changed the old rules, and let the prince be raised by his biological mother, things have become complicated.

Although Empress Cao is the master of the inner palace, it is difficult to say what the status of Empress Cao will be if this child really becomes the emperor in the future. If it is one thing to be raised by oneself since childhood, it is another thing not to raise it by oneself and just to be a ceremonial mother. The Cao family has been a general, the top family in the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is considered to be a zero talent, and there are several people above the official to the assassin history, and their reputation in the army is extremely high. Compared with Queen Cao, Miao Cairen's family background is far from that of Queen Cao.

The things in the palace, Xu Ping's status, I don't know the details, I can only rely on guesses, and the so-called palace secrets in later generations are mostly speculations. The prince was born, the biological mother raised her, and the attitude of Empress Cao is unknown. Although Xu Ping didn't believe that she could do anything to harm the prince, she usually had a strict attitude in life, withheld money, and put pressure on the people around her, but no one could say anything. In the most extreme case, once Zhao Zhen has an accident, things are delicate.

In order to prevent these things from happening, Zhao Zhen wanted to find a backer for this child in the foreign court, and it should not be too obvious, so as not to appear again in Taizong's later years, when the ministers formed a party to fight for the crown prince. Zhao Zhen chose Xu Ping first, although he hasn't said it yet, but the meaning is there, and he and Xu Ping just know it. Originally, his best choice was Li Yonghe, but Li Yonghe was obviously not competent now, so he could only settle for the second.

The royal affairs have a great impact, and it is useful to bet on the right ones than how much work you make, but don't get too deep into the play. In the final analysis, it is someone else's child, and it is okay to assist from the side, but if you really take it as your own business, it will be self-defeating.

Afterwards, Xu Ping thought about it for a long time, but decided to take this matter to heart for the time being, and tacitly agreed with Zhao Zhen. Now that both are young, accidents don't have to happen. If everything is normal, it is best to help Li Yonghe and his family, and the most suitable person is Li Zhang, who will establish prestige in the army step by step and grasp military power. The most reliable guarantee of the throne is the army, and the important premise of the minister's opinion is also the stability of the army. Li Zhang's status as a relative is the most suitable for doing this kind of thing.

A few days later, after all the ritualistic things were done, Zhao Zhen specially summoned Xu Ping in the Yanhe Palace.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen gave him a seat, and said to Xu Ping happily: "You once said that the nature of mother and son is that children cannot leave their mothers, but I didn't believe it much before. In the past few days, the second brother has followed his biological mother, and he is very strong and lively, and everyone in the palace said that the prince had never seen such a thing, so he believed that what you said really made sense. Although there are all kinds of troubles in changing the old rules, as long as the prince is safe, everything is worth it! ”

Xu Ping hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty has six brothers, and only His Majesty is the only one who has grown up healthy, even if it is a poor people's home, it is rare. It can be seen that even though the clothes and food are beautiful, it is still not as good as the affection between mother and son. ”

Zhao Zhen even said that the eldest of his five elder brothers was only nine years old, and it would be unreasonable to say that there was no reason for leaving his mother's weak health. Although Zhao Zhen also left his biological mother as soon as he was born, it can be seen from his later experience that this child has a wide heart and can think of everything, but it is easy to support.

Turning the corner, Zhao Zhen said to Xu Ping: "The talented father is now promoted in the Jingcang grassland, and the ministry is too hard, you can choose a light ministry for him in the three divisions." The prince is still young, and it is not good to be promoted suddenly, so he should be promoted calmly. ”

The meaning of this is that the grandfather of the newborn prince had better be promoted to the official, but he should not let the foreign court say that his relatives became officials because of fate, and it was best to have merit, so that others could not say anything. How to do it appropriately, Xu Ping has experience, and of course Zhao Zhen will leave it to him.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said: "Wait for the minister to go back and think about this matter carefully, and then reply to Your Majesty." - However, since Your Majesty has mentioned this matter, the minister happens to have something related to it, but it has not yet been considered safely, so I will ask Your Majesty for details today. ”

Zhao Zhen is on the rise, and let Xu Ping just speak.

"Now there are many companies under the three divisions, and a few days ago, the minister calculated that there are more than 300 large and small. These companies vary in size, with nearly 100 companies earning more than 100,000 yuan a year, more than 30 companies earning more than 100,000 yuan, and the three largest companies all earning more than 2 million yuan a year, excluding sugar cane business, field business, and banks. The commercial tax of more than 10,000 guan is already Shangzhou, and the country with more than 100,000 guan is only two or three state capitals, and 2 million guan is more than all roads in the world. Such a large company is still managed by officials, and there are no officials, which is unreasonable. According to the company's annual income grade, the officials will be promoted and their classes will be examined. If it is suitable, it will arrange for the talented father to manage the company, and choose the right person as the deputy. ”

Zhao Zhen listened, and said with a deep sigh: "If this is the case, there are so many official vacancies in the world, will there be a suspicion of redundant officials?" ”

"There are large sums of money in the accounts every year, how can they be considered redundant officials? According to the old practice of field affairs in previous years, if there is no input, it will be bought by the people. However, in previous years, most of the officials in charge of field affairs were low-level military attaches and were not familiar with affairs. Those large companies should set up some civilian official positions, and really select officials who can do practical things. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was undecided, Xu Ping said again: "If the minister wants to come, the biggest advantage of doing this is that you can arrange for your relatives and close ministers to these official positions, and don't choose competent personnel as your deputy." Now most of the children of relatives and ministers are in military positions, which is nothing more than being greedy for military positions. The company is full of money exchanges, and they can be given generous gifts to let them take office, so as not to mistake the army in the army. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "If you do this, if there are unscrupulous people, won't you damage these companies again?" Lose money and food in vain! ”

Xu Ping said in his heart that he was still heartbroken about money and food, why didn't he feel heartbroken that the army had become a puddle of mud? Those people always have to find a way to raise them, and they want everyone to be holy, but human beings have not yet found a way. When I went to the company of the three divisions, it was nothing more than a little more to give them a little more, and it was already good not to toss the army and the people. As for the company's operation, it can only make them worry less and get more money.

"Your Majesty, just like the local governor has a general judgment, just don't set up officials to manage affairs, and strictly test their palaces."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said to Xu Ping: "How to make the specific charter, you write a chapter and come out, and the minister will discuss it in detail." If this method is feasible, it is not a bad way to benefit the country and the people, but I am afraid that the three divisions will not be able to control these people. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "It's okay, there is also the Audit Department." As long as they check strictly, there is always a way. ”
