On the fourth day of November in the first year of Jianlong, hundreds of officials entered the palace to congratulate the emperor and returned from a great victory in Yangzhou.

The ceremonial arrangement is at noon, and the Daqing Palace, which is rarely used once, is open today. Zhao Kuangyin sat on the top of the hall and accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

Originally, at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's mood should be the best, but yesterday's trip stabbed his mood and made his newly relaxed heart worry again. And the conflict between Zhao Zheng and Zhao Yanhui's father and son last night also made him a little annoyed. He finally realized clearly that being emperor was "never at peace".

Zhao Yanhui just came to cry and complained, saying that his son was injured very badly, and asked him to severely punish Zhao Zheng to set an example. That tone, that attitude, is still a little strong.

Hehe, now that the matter has come out, it has to be dealt with after all. Zhao Kuangyin is looking forward to it, and he doesn't know what the reaction of the ministers will be when the results of the processing are announced at the meeting.

Zhao Yanhui is full of expectations that the official family can deal with Zhao Zheng seriously, he is thinking that with his own identity and merits, the official family is thinking about the old feelings, it should be no problem!

He originally wanted to stay in the Vertical Arch Palace, but he only agreed to the official's house, but today he congratulated him, and the court meeting of the Daqing Hall could not be mistaken. Zhao Yanhui had no choice but to leave in a huff, anyway, Zhao Kuangyin agreed, no matter what, there will be an explanation.

Although Zhao Zheng is the new favorite and has made some contributions, the foundation is too thin. As long as he is not from the Zhao family, then it will be fine...... Zhao Yanhui and Zhao Kuangyin have known each other for many years and know his family situation well, so they are not worried, but are full of expectations and wait for news.

This time, Zhao Zheng was disposed of first, and seizing the opportunity in the coming day will definitely make him doomed. Think about how many ribs his son has broken, and the most important thing is that his son and grandson are still a little injured, and it is difficult to say whether they can inherit the lineage. Although the surname is Zhao, this beam between him and Zhao Zheng is concluded.

……

Zhao Zheng doesn't have any psychological burden, and the punishment is inevitable, even if it is reasonable, seriously injuring the son of a minister. It is unjustifiable not to be punished. What he was curious about was how Zhao Kuangyin would be punished, and it would definitely not be heavy, and Zhao Zheng had already speculated about it. Otherwise, it is tantamount to supporting the Conglong Gongchen Group, and those who are already flying and domineering are not allowed to fly to the sky.

Zhao Kuangyin can be regarded as a Ming Jun no matter what, so he shouldn't be so confused, right? Zhao Zheng entered the palace with a fluke and began to participate in the courtesy of cumbersome etiquette.

Some ministers came forward to deliver speeches to congratulate the officials on their triumphant return, and some generals came forward to report the results of the battle and related etiquette. One does not fall!

Then he entered the link of rewarding meritorious deeds, and read out the holy decree of the reward in the palace, Shi Shouxin led the army to quell the rebellion twice, and made outstanding achievements, so he was reappointed as the envoy of the German army. You must know that this is the feudal town where Zhao Kuangyin was stationed before he ascended the throne, and now it has been renamed Yingtianfu's Great Song Nan/Jingsong Zhou City, which is equivalent to becoming Shi Shouxin's fief.

This honor is not shared by others, and everyone present is envious. Even more amazing is yet to come. Shi Shouxin plus the title of Pingzhang, this is the official title of the prime minister, although there is no real power, but the general is the greatest glory of all civil and military generals. The Great Song Dynasty was the first to do it.

Gao Huaide inspected the deputy capital in front of the palace, and of course, the biggest reward for him was the captain of the horse. Marrying the sister of the official family is equivalent to half a royal person. The status is even more extraordinary.

Li Chuyun, Murong Yanzhao and other generals who participated in the counterinsurgency were also rewarded. Then he read a name - Honglu Shaoqing Zhao Zheng!

Many people couldn't help but prick up their ears, only to hear Zhizhi read: "Luzhou counterinsurgency, Zhao Zheng went into the front line alone to spy on the enemy. Provide important military information for the army to conquer Zezhou. "Insiders understand that Zhao Zheng went to rescue Fu Li in order to stabilize Fu Yanqing, so some disgraceful things can't be said clearly, so they changed to spy on the military situation.

"Sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty to detect Li Jingda's rebellion and break the collusion between Li Chongjin and the Southern Tang Dynasty rebel party...... Bianliang Long Street escort meritorious service, read its agility and bravery, outstanding meritorious service, specially awarded the title of Wen Anbo ......"

Earl!

Many people can understand that a little-known person suddenly became an earl, and this inevitably rose too fast? Thinking about it carefully, there don't seem to be many princes and uncles in the Great Song Dynasty now. Zhao Zheng was so young that he suddenly jumped so high, many people envied him, some people were jealous, and some people were even more suspicious.

Of course, there are also people who express Xiàn very casually, what is the meaning of the earl, and the rich title without real power? The key is in the back, the adjustment of his position.

Zhao Yanhui was angry, the official family had just promised him that he would deal with Zhao Zheng, but he was made an earl in a blink of an eye, what is this? When he was angry and wanted to be impeached in the palace, a sharp look flew in the courtiers, and Zhao Yanhui's heart moved, and then he calmed down.

What made him even more pleased was that Zhao Kuangyin interrupted the edict and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zheng is brave and agile, and he has indeed made a lot of contributions before and after, but he is impulsive and reckless, and he has a little merit and flutters, and he actually fought in front of Kaifeng Mansion last night, which is really not like words!" ”

Most of the courtiers had heard about this matter, so they were not surprised, but Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised when he dealt with it in public at the court meeting where he appreciated his merits. After Zhao Yanhui heard it, he was complacent, the official family really didn't break his word, this is the rhythm of dealing with Zhao Zheng!

Fu Yanqing, like many ministers, stretched out his ears and listened attentively to the official's handling opinions. What others care about is the attitude of the official family towards a group of people, but Fu Yanqing only cares about the disposal of one person.

Hearing the emperor's reproach, Zhao Zheng, who was very far behind, came out with interest, these etiquettes were learned in Honglu Temple last night. He has never been to the Jinluan Palace, and suddenly became a court official, where do you know the relevant etiquette. Fortunately, Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, and there are special people to guide the etiquette of envoys.

"The minister is guilty!" It is an attitude that it is necessary to ask for sin. In the Tang Dynasty, when officials heard the impeachment, they wanted to listen to the impeachment without a crown, but now this is really a simplified version. Zhao Zheng is very curious, what will Zhao Kuangyin do with himself, is it possible that the career he has just started is going to die?

Zhao Kuangyin's gaze swept over the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Such a reckless and impulsive, how can you be worthy of the cultivation that an earl should have?" How can they take on the heavy responsibility of receiving envoys from various countries? I really don't know what kind of virtue you are in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and whether it will damage my Great Song Tianwei! ”

Scold! Zhao Kuangyin scolded very badly, Zhao Zheng's face was slightly unnatural, is this a desire to promote first or step on the end?

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "That's it, it seems that you can't afford to be the founder of the country......"

The Founding Earl is gone, and this punishment seems to be a bit heavy...... The ministers immediately began to exchange heads, and Zhao Kuangyin frowned when he saw this. Above the court, the ministers whispered to each other, this is really a big problem, and we have to find a way to solve it......

Zhao Yanhui was complacent, full of hope that Zhao Zheng would fall out of favor, and then find an opportunity to take revenge on him. Fu Yanqing frowned, what is this rhythm...... Although the official family is scolding, how can this tone be a bit ...... A bit of a homely feel!

"As for the errand of Honglu Temple, if you can't do it well, don't go!" When the ministers were shocked, Zhao Kuangyin changed his words and said: "I think you have a bit of courage and loyalty, so come and stand guard for my guards...... Let's move to the Imperial City Envoy! ”

This......

When Fu Yanqing heard this, her frowning brows stretched, and she still had a faint smile! It seems a bit of a pity that the founding uncle is gone, but what is the point of a fictitious title when you think about it carefully? Wen Anbo...... Hum! Where's Wen'an? In the vicinity of Youzhou. Since the Later Jin Dynasty Shi Jingjiao, the sixteen states of Yanyun have fallen into the hands of the Khitans.

Although he was a founding uncle, there was no fief at all, and it had no practical meaning at all. Fu Yanqing even suspected that Zhao Kuangyin didn't plan to seal Zhao Zheng as the founder of the country at all, otherwise he wouldn't even be wrong about the fiefdom...... Wrong...... Wen'an ...... Fu Yanqing suddenly felt that this place name was familiar......

Fu Yanqing shook his head, he could now be sure that the significance of the appearance of this founding earl was to revoke it and give some people a superficial explanation. The focus is on the change of position, the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is not low, but he is in charge of diplomatic affairs, he has no power, and his development prospects are really average, and now he has been relocated to the imperial city envoy, which is not ordinary!

The Imperial City Envoy is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and his nominal position is to defend the Imperial City, just like Zhao Kuangyin said. But is that really the case? Fu Yanqing smiled faintly, reconnaissance and espionage intelligence are all errands of the Imperial City Division. (Note: The institution was named Wude Division in the early Song Dynasty, and it was changed to the Imperial City Division in the sixth year of Taizong's Taiping Rejuvenation (981), but in order to be familiar to everyone, the Imperial City Division is directly used here)

On a certain Cheng dù, the supervision effect of the Imperial City Division exceeds that of the Imperial Historical Observatory, who is not afraid of the hundred officials? The most important thing is trust, the Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and then there is the duty of guarding the palace ban, can someone who does not trust it? Fu Yanqing is very pleased with this result, perhaps...... Not to mention far away, I am afraid that some tricky errands will fall on Zhao Zheng's head immediately......

Zhao Yanhui's smiling face suddenly froze, what is going on? The earl was dismissed, and what happened when he was reappointed as the envoy of the imperial city? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this name is a reward and punishment, but in fact, it is a promotion, and it is reused, which is ......

The official family clearly agreed...... Zhao Yanhui suddenly felt that he had become a clown and was tricked by Zhao Kuangyin. But what can I say? scolded in public, removed the earl, and the title of the imperial city envoy was indeed inferior to Shaoqing, such a disposition can be regarded as an explanation for himself. The road is completely reasonable, the emperor has not broken his word, but ......

When he thought about it more deeply, Zhao Yanhui suddenly had a bad feeling. There are many officials who have a similar mood to him, most of them are the ministers of the dragon who were defeated by Chen Qiao, and most of them are noble generals......

Zhao Zheng beat Zhao Yanhui's son, but there was no substantive punishment, which is not a simple matter of favoritism. Between rewards and punishments is the political signal released by the emperor, some people hear the warning, some people feel threatened, and some people are indignant......

For a while, above the court, hundreds of officials were silent, each with their own thoughts! (To be continued......)
