On June 27, the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 AD), I convened Liang Shicheng, the ruler and the imperial historian, Zhao Ye, and Zhang Bangchang, the ruler and Shangshu, to appreciate the ancient calligraphy and painting in the palace Baowen Pavilion, which is the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty. It is also one of the issues that I, the emperor, have to consider at present.

At this time, I sat in front of the jade case with an ancient book in my hand and sighed to the three of them: Three Aiqing, whenever I come here, I think of the Emperor Taishang in Hangzhou, and in the blink of an eye, the Emperor Taishang has been to the south for nearly a month. The three of them were also embarrassed after hearing this, and they were all sighing that time was flying, and in a blink of an eye, it was already another dynasty, and they had all gathered with the Emperor Taishang here before, enjoying the joy of monarchs and ministers with each other, and now they are all in the past.

Seeing that the three of them were also emotional, I changed my words and said: What do you Aiqing say about my recent new policy? For this question I suddenly raised, the three of them all looked at each other, I don't know what my intentions are, I also pretended not to see their questions, and after a while, Zhao Ye replied first: Your Majesty, at present, the imperial history has not received a specific chapter, the emperor's new policy is a move to benefit the country and the people, and the ministers believe that the imperial historians can also see it, but recently I heard that the prisoners of the national eunuch seem to be brewing the impeachment of important ministers of the imperial court. The specific situation is not yet clear.

I heard that the eunuchs of the Guozijian are going to impeach the important ministers of the imperial court, and I am also nervous, now is the critical moment of the reform of the imperial court, I hope that these so-called righteous people will not give the court a problem, after all, it is necessary to use these former ministers to stabilize the situation, and the cultivation of talents takes time and exercise. And Liang Shicheng trembled in his heart, after all, his reputation in Jingshi is really not good, Zhang Bangchang is calm, after all, he has no other reason to impeach these prisoners except for his previous advocacy of insisting on peace with the Jin State.

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, Shangshu Zuocheng Zhang Bangchang also gave feedback: Emperor Qi, the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court and many yamen are also calm, and there is no big difference and change from usual, but some officials are discussing in private, and they have different opinions on the recent military and economic restructuring measures taken by the imperial court, but the ministers think it is also very normal, after all, each policy launched by the imperial court before has different statements and opinions.

At this time, Liang Shicheng said with a little emotion because of the worry about the impeachment of the Tai students: Your Majesty, the ministers think that the imperial court should reprimand and punish those officials who discuss the policies of the imperial court in private. And what do they know how to govern the country?

In the face of the different statements of the three people, I just smiled slightly, and comforted Liang Shichengdao: The so-called threesome must have my teacher, there are some views and discussions on the policies of the imperial court, I think it is normal, after all, it is a new policy, and many different views are also to urge the imperial court to be more transparent in the process of formulating and implementing policies. Speaking of which, I have another matter today to ask for the opinions of the three Aiqing, that is, since I ascended the throne, I have the right to know the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and I want you Aiqing to recommend a suitable talent to me.

Zhang Bangchang replied: Your Majesty, the minister recommended a person who must be competent to be the governor of Kaifeng Mansion. I saw that he was so active and said with interest: Oh, Zhang Aiqing, then tell me about this person's experience in detail. Zhang Bangchang went on to say: Your Majesty, this person is Zong Ze of Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuan You (1091), the word Rulin, a native of Wushu in eastern Zhejiang (now Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province), Zong Ze was born on December 14 (January 20, 1060) in the fourth year of Jiayou. Although his family is poor, he has a tradition of farming and reading heirlooms, and Zong Ze's father, Zong Shunqing, is a rural intellectual. Zong Ze participated in labor with his eldest brother Zong Wo since he was a child, and he read and wrote under the guidance of his father and ancestors. Zong Ze, who is gifted and intelligent, is diligent and studious, and has laid a good cultural foundation since he was a child. When Zong Ze was a teenager, the Zong family moved to Twenty Three Miles Town, which had relatively convenient transportation, more developed commerce and culture. There, Zong Ze's horizons expanded, he heard and witnessed many things, and at the same time, he also germinated his ideological ambition to save the country and save the people. Zong Ze, who was less than 20 years old, resolutely quit his home and went out to study, which lasted more than ten years and taught in dozens of places. He not only studied carefully and studied the classics of the ancients, but also applied what he had learned, inspected the society, understood the people's feelings, and tirelessly pursued the way of governing the country, gradually seeing clearly that rectifying the rule of officials was the key to solving political corruption. So he carefully studied the military books and practiced martial arts. In this way, Zong Ze quickly grew into a young man who was knowledgeable, both civil and military, and full of ideals and ambitions.

In the sixth year of Yuanyou (1091), the imperial court held a provincial examination and a palace examination. Zong Ze, who is thirty-three years old, went all the way to the capital Kaifeng to take the provincial test after passing the liberation test. After Zong Ze passed the provincial examination (Ministry of Rites examination), he entered the palace examination. When Zong Ze took the palace examination, he ignored the regulations on the number of words, and wrote more than 10,000 words in a free way, vigorously stating the disadvantages of the times, and also criticized the imperial court for believing in Wu Chuhou's false accusations and banishing Cai Qu, believing that the disaster of the friends began here. This was Zong Ze's first appearance at the imperial court, which fully reflected his strong demand for the elimination of maladministration and his courage and determination to fight against evil forces. The examiner was straightforward and fearful", put Zong Ze at the end of the department, and gave him the same Jinshi background. Although Zong Ze failed to reach the top of the list, he passed the imperial examination after all, and began to enter the official career.

In the 8th year of the reign of Genyu (1093), Zongze was sent to the Daimyo Prefecture to serve as the county lieutenant and the regent of the prefecture. Less than a month after his arrival, Zong Ze quickly and properly handled the county's backlog of litigation cases over the years, showing his ability to handle government affairs and winning the trust and admiration of his subordinates. In the second year of Shaosheng (1095), the prefect Lu Huiqing ordered Zong Ze to inspect the construction project of the imperial river. After Lu Huiqing heard about it, he exclaimed: He can be called a person who forgets his home for the country. At this time, the weather was freezing cold, Zong Ze found many migrant workers frozen on the side of the road during the inspection, and immediately went to the secretary, suggesting that the construction period be postponed and the construction would start again when it was warm next spring, and said that he would be responsible for it at that time. The imperial court agreed to an extension. In the spring of the following year, the river was completed, and many people were gained. When Zong Ze first emerged in the officialdom, he showed noble qualities such as diligence in his duties, honesty for officials, and compassion for the people. After that, from the first year of Yuanfu (1098) to the fourth year of Zhenghe (1114), Zong Ze successively served as the magistrate of four counties, including Quzhou Longyou, Laizhou Glue, Jinzhou Zhaocheng, and Laizhou Ye County. Throughout Zong Ze's more than 20 years in politics, he was able to serve as an official for one term, benefit one party, and have made outstanding political achievements, and won the trust and love of all regions and groups from all over the world.

Later, in order to strengthen the northern frontier, the imperial court ordered that Dengzhou and other four prefectures be promoted to the second border, and some capable officials should be selected to serve as general judges. In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115), Zong Ze was promoted to the general judge of Dengzhou. In the first year of Xuanhe (1119), Zong Ze, who was sixty years old, begged to return to his hometown, and was allowed to be granted the fictitious title of Hongqing Temple in charge of Nanjing (i.e., Yingtianfu, now Shangqiu City, Henan Province), and then retired to Dongyang, a neighboring county in Yiwu, his hometown, and settled in the valley of Lulu, and planned to write a book to spend his old age. Later, he was falsely accused of contempt for Taoism, and Zong Ze was assigned to Zhenjiang Edition". During Zong Ze's administration, his wife Chen died of illness. In the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122), Emperor Taishang held a sacrificial ceremony and implemented a general amnesty, and Zong Ze regained his freedom. Zong Ze was first in charge of the Zhenjiang liquor tax, and only this year was transferred to Bazhou General Judge.

Zhao Ye also reported at this time: Emperor Qi, the lower officials recommended Yao Xiong of the Northwest Jiangmen family, the word Yifu, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, Yao Xiong is the son of Yao Ji, this person is young and resourceful, and at the age of eighteen, he assisted his father in the expedition and became his father Yao Ji's right-hand man. In the battle against Jinsha, Yao Xiong led a hundred cavalry pioneers to attack, and was the first to take the city. In the battle against Jinsha, Yao Xiong led a hundred cavalry pioneers to attack, and was the first to take the city. Yao Xiong made another meritorious contribution in the Battle of Liyuan. General Han Jiang cherished his talent and recommended it to the imperial court. Yao Xiong participated in the Yanhe Hall parade.

Yao Xiong also participated in the battles of Annam and Luchuan. Lijing Yuan and Qin Feng fought, garrisoned Gangu City, served as Yuanzhen Rong Army, Minzhou, and then served as Zuo Qiji's envoy.

In the middle of the Shaosheng year (1095), Weizhou general Zhang Qicheng leveled the Xia State, Yao Xiong led troops to support in Xihe, the whole army of the Xia State went to battle, Yao Xiong's army and the Xia people had a very tragic battle, Yao Xiong was wounded by an arrow in the shoulder, but his battle was more heroic. The courage of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the enemy could not resist and retreated, Yao Xiong led the army to pursue the victory, killing 3,000 enemies and taking countless prisoners. Before the fifth day, Zhe Ke (Tong) was defeated in the battle and his morale was depressed, Yao Xiong and Zhe Ke (Tong) joined forces, and took the lead, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, and all the armies fought hard and won the battle. Yao Xiong was appointed as the envoy of Dongshang (Yan) and the assassin of Qinzhou.

In the second year, the captives attacked Pingxia, and the enemy's offensive was very sharp for a while, and the city was about to be lost. Yao Xiong and his younger brother Yao Gu quickly joined forces to provide urgent reinforcements, and they were able to break the siege after the battle. Later, Yao Xiong was appointed to inform the state and led the Xihe River to govern. Wang Jian was stationed in Qingtang, and the Qiang people attacked Huang and Shan, and the imperial court urgently summoned Yao Xiong and Miao Lu to lead the army to help. The local military situation in Miaochuan was critical, Yao Xiong was ordered to relieve the siege, Yao Xiong had just arrived, the Qiang army saw the dust and smoke billowing in the air, and heard that it was Yao Xiong's army, and retreated in shock. The siege was lifted, Yao Xiong immediately marched to Shanzhou, and Miao Lu arrived later. Wang Jian told Yao Xiong Miao that Lan Yu still had some remaining enemies, and they should take the opportunity to eliminate them immediately. Yao Xiong analyzed the situation and thought that it was impossible to go on the expedition, but Miao Lu did not listen to Yao Xiong's advice and led his troops to fight alone, and Yao Xiong immediately deployed the army and was fully prepared to meet the enemy. As Yao Xiong expected, it was not long before Miao Lu's army was defeated and retreated, and the enemy army pursued. Yao Xiong personally led the army to meet the battle, but the enemy never expected Yao Xiong's move, and was in a panic for a while, and as a result, more than 2,000 people were killed, and he fled in defeat. The news of the victory greatly boosted the army and the people, and Emperor Zhezong sent a special envoy to the barracks to comfort the officers and soldiers. The troops were then transferred to River State.

At that time, another general, Chong Pu, was defeated, and Wang Zhen was also caught in the enemy, and Yao Xiong won four battles from Shanzhou to Huangzhou, each of which was victorious. Later, the Anxiang Water Pass was built in the garrison area, and fortresses were built on both sides of the river to defend the bridge, and the waterway transportation was opened, and civilians, traders, and travelers all traveled to and from Huangcheng. A vigorous phenomenon of prosperity and stability. Later, Yao Xiong concurrently served as the defense envoy of Xiazhou.

At the beginning of the Yasukuni period, the imperial court discussed abandoning Huangzhou, so Yao Xiong discussed the benefits and disadvantages. Yao Xiong thought that he could give up Huangzhou, so he gave Huangzhou to Zhao Huaide, transferred Yao Xiong to govern Xizhou, and then served as an observer in Huazhou. Yao Xiong is currently serving as the inspector of the school, and the Fengning army is the envoy.

Since the right to know that Kaifeng Mansion Yin is involved in the safety of the capital division, this person must be loyal first, and he may have military background or experience. And the main people who followed Liang Shicheng were literati and scholars, if he was a bloody general, who would be willing to stoop down and get close to a eunuch. For the recommendation of the two of them, I made up my mind after comprehensive consideration: I decided to transfer Zong Ze to the position of Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion Yin, this position is not only related to the safety of Jingshi, but also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining the overall image of the city of Jingshi, after all, Jingshi is an important place of commerce and trade, and Zong Ze has served as a county commander and general judge, so it is more suitable for this position, so it is very good, you will be more virtuous for the country in the future, and this is here today. The three of them have made up their minds about me, and they all said in unison: The emperor is sage, and the lower officials obey the order! In particular, Liang Shicheng seemed to want to speak and stopped, and then knelt down at the same time and came out of the Baowen Pavilion in turn.
