Chapter 216 Sect Decree

I have to say that Zhao Yu chose a good time to jointly play the "Zongju Order". Li Di was demoted, and Lu Yijian, in order to establish his authority, suppressed officials close to Fan Yan, and even officials who were appreciated by Fan Yan did not let go. Although he established his prestige, he also made ordinary scholars and doctors feel related and secretly resentful of Lu Yijian.

If it's the past, it's nothing, time will wear everything. Not now, most officials are quite secretive about this matter, and even if they write a book, they have a somewhat ineffective attitude. And Lu Yijian has not yet been able to integrate the opinions of other prime ministers, and because of the framing of Li Di, Lu Yijian has a very bad reputation with the prime minister, who is not afraid of following in the footsteps of Li Di?

In case Lu Yijian, the old fox, pushes himself out to bear the wrath of the clan, then who will he find to cry?

On the 17th of March, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a rare sunshine that sprinkled on the earth. The spring rain has just passed, and the streets are filled with small pools of water, and the sun falls on them, like patches of golden scales, dazzling people's eyes.

Zhao Yu silently got down from the Que Yue black horse, and the guards next to him hurriedly stepped forward and took off the wet wind cloak outside for Zhao Yu. There is no need to step forward, Wang Jue has already gone up, arched his hand towards the gatekeeper, and said solemnly: "The king of Changsha asks to see the official!" ”

The guard Ban Zhi hurriedly agreed, and the man on duty invited Zhao Yu to sit in the house where the forbidden army on duty rested, and sent the fast-paced Ban Zhi to report to Song Renzong.

It didn't take long for the fast-paced Ban Zhi who went to report the news to come back, and Song Renzong summoned Zhao Yu without accident.

Everything was not much different from the usual summons, but Zhao Yu didn't know why, looking at the palace shining in the sun not far away, the finely carved rockery, the carefully cared for flower beds and trees, cleaned cleanly, and there was not a single fallen leaf of the royal road. There was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he felt that between himself and Song Renzong, I don't know why, there was a crack suddenly.

Walking up, Song Renzong was in the Yanhe Palace, thinking that he was discussing with a certain minister about an important government affairs.

When he arrived at the Yanhe Palace, Zhao Yu found that he had thought a little wrong, Song Renzong was not discussing government affairs with a certain minister, but was caught by the old man of the clan.

Zhao Dewen and several other clan elders begged and half coerced in the Yanhe Hall to ask Song Renzong to agree to the "Sect Decree". In this, it is inevitable to take Zhao Yu as an example, and it can be said that Zhao Yu is a very good breakthrough. Your emperor's younger brother can be in power, and he still supports it! Why don't you give it to our children? We don't want any high-ranking officials to appease the envoys, it's good to give a county, county, and master bookkeeper!

After seeing Zhao Yu enter the Yanhe Palace, these old men were even more happy, you see this example is here. Song Renzong was even more passive, and in the past, Zhao Yu may be a little embarrassed, but now it is different, Song Renzong began to deliberately cut off Zhao Yu's left and right arms. Zhao Yu already knew that Song Renzong didn't know if he was persuaded by Lu Yijian, an old fox, or someone, and began to suspect himself.

In this case, no matter what Zhao Yu does, he is afraid that he will give Song Renzong a suspicious neighbor stealing an axe. Anyway, it will be suspected, so let's ask for the surname to promote the "Zongju Order" openly.

"Sixth brother, if you are afraid that the clan will shake the country, then the simplest, the clan is not allowed to take charge of the army, isn't it? Otherwise, would the sixth brother rather trust outsiders than trust his relatives? Sixth brother, don't you want to think about it, if Jingdong East Road wasn't there at the beginning, what would it be like to make a fuss? Otherwise, it wouldn't be that after you changed a batch of ministers, you would have to change to a batch of ministers! As soon as Zhao Yu came, he was sharp.

Zhao Dewen, Zhao Chengqing, Zhao Zongge, and several other clan elders immediately opened their mouths to echo, especially Zhao Degong, don't look at it as just a county duke, his seniority is terrifyingly high, he is Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, Zhao Tingmei's eighth son, and Song Renzong is uncle.

Seeing this situation, Song Renzong had to reluctantly agree, but he didn't pack the ticket. Song Renzong still knew that in this matter, although the resistance of the scholars would become weaker due to the recent changes in the situation in the imperial court, the weakness was limited. Not to mention anything else, there are now scholars outside the noon gate to oppose the "Zongju Order".

It's just that the "Zongju Order" has not yet passed the court discussion, so it is not too intense, so as not to make things too big, and when the time comes, the current saints will come to each fight fifty boards, and the clan will certainly be unhappy, and these scholars themselves will not be any better.

After these old men left, Song Renzong teased without complaints: "Ah, it seems that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today!" But all the bad luck has come to me! ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Sixth brother, it's not that I don't help you in this matter, but you really don't want to think about it, although the world seems to be peaceful now, how much chaos has happened?" Not to mention Xixia, a few years ago, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road were drought and locust plagues, and this year there is still waterlogging in Zhejiang. In terms of employing people, you need to use some people who are close to you. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued: "Besides, the sixth brother is afraid that there are children in the sect who should not have a position, so there is no need to think too much." How many of the children of the clan are literate now? Out of ten people, it would be nice to have five people who could write the article smoothly! said that it was good to write, and it is estimated that there are only one or two people, who can really participate in the imperial examination, only four or five out of a hundred, plus there are some unintentional careers. The first imperial examination had the largest number of people, but it was only about 20 people who got the first place! Can't the sixth brother even endure this? ”

Song Renzong shook his head and said, "Just your sharp teeth!" ”

After a pause, he said, "You can also talk to the doctors about this reason!" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Not only that, but it will take two years for the imperial examination to start from the state examination, then to the provincial examination, and then to the palace examination!" There is a two-year buffer, are the scholars and scholars not satisfied? Can't even the children of my Heavenly Family Sect have more than 20 officials? ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued: "And the children of the clan spend a lot every year!" Although the "Zongju Order" of the younger brother opened a door, it didn't give the court a chance to close another door? The sixth brother said that he could limit the Jilu officials, and there was no need for each clan disciple to have several Jilu officials hanging on his body, just one for each person. Although it is only enough to live a good life, it is necessary to have no talent. ”

Song Renzong didn't want Zhao Yu to take the initiative, so he said with a smile: "Ah Zhu, what you said is also reasonable, Mencius said 'invincible foreign patients will die forever', but you can use this place!" Lest something go wrong with the imperial court and fail to find a group of loyal but usable people! Spur the children of the clan to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded, but there was a little strange in his heart, what happened to Song Renzong? Suddenly so talkative?

Song Renzong hesitated for a while, and then said, "Ah, you also know that the pacification envoy is not always placed!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu chuckled in his heart, but Zhao Yu quickly reined in the negative emotions in his heart. He knew it was going to come eventually! Since Song Renzong began to be suspicious of himself, it was naturally impossible for him to leave such a big official position of pacification to himself, although Zhao Yu on Jingdong East Road could not talk about covering the sky with one hand, he was definitely overpowering the group of officials.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Fangzhi, who has always had the name and power of the second-in-command on Jingdong East Road, was pressed to death by Zhao Yu, and used an unpopular job as a prison errand to share most of the power. For this reason, Zhao Yu's subordinate official Zhou Qin is the highest official position of a county magistrate, but because of this prison errand, he is more prosperous than a state governor.

Chen Fangzhi is still like this, and there is no need for others to say more.

The biggest reason is not the identity of Zhao Yu, although the prince is noble, but it is like the statue in the temple, you can respect it, but you don't listen to him for everything. As for the Holy Family? Oh, it's easy for you Zhao Yu to rectify a person, but ordinary officials are afraid of you, and you stab this thing on the Jinluan Palace, it's just to make others laugh in vain!

The biggest reason is that Zhao Yu's appeasement made this send! The pacification envoy is used to deal with the disaster victims, and the disaster relief is the most efficient, so the pacification envoy is highly centralized. Zhao Yu was able to serve as a pacification envoy for three years, which was quite special in the eyes of ordinary officials.

Knowing is knowing, when this moment really comes, no one can be indifferent.

Glancing at Zhao Yu, Song Renzong said in a rare polite tone: "The prime minister of the court is very resentful of Ah Zheng for serving as a pacification envoy for so long. Although I am an official, I don't have the final say in everything. Besides, you are my younger brother after all, and I need to avoid some taboos in this matter! ”

Zhao Yu paused and asked, "Then I don't know where the sixth brother is going to transfer his younger brother?" ”

Hearing this, Song Renzong looked a little hesitant, with a touch of apology on his face, and said: "You mean that you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the ceremonial institute of Taichang Temple. ”

Even though Zhao Yu already had a certain amount of city government, after hearing Song Renzong's words, he couldn't help but feel a little cold. The Book of Rites doesn't seem to be very big, but now it's the Song Dynasty, not the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the Great Song Dynasty established the Ministry of Officials, it also set up the Taichang Temple Rite Temple, which is equivalent to dividing the power of the Ministry of Rites. When he arrived at Zhao Yu's cheap father Song Zhenzong, he set up a ceremonial institute to be in charge of etiquette. The Ministry of Rites only appoints a member of the "Ministry of Rites" to be in charge of the imperial examination, and to make up for Taizhou Sailang and other matters.

The official position of the Ministry of Rites is actually the official of Jilu. And the Taichang Temple Rite House is the above-mentioned Rite Yard, so I won't talk about the responsibilities. In the ceremonial courtyard, there are chief officials such as the envoy (the first leader), the same knowledge (the second leader), the courtyard, and the same officer. Zhao Yu went, but he was just the second-in-command.

However, whether it is the first or second in command, in Zhao Yu's opinion, there is not much difference. The Ministry of Rites was already noble, and it was divided between the Rite Institute and the Rite House by Taichang Temple. Whether it is the Ministry of Rites, or the Rite Academy, or the Rite Academy, they are not only noble, but also very idle. (To be continued.) )
