Inside the Vertical Arch Hall, six people were waiting for a fateful decision with a little nervousness.

Since the establishment of the Political Institute in the third year of Jingyou, the political ecology of the Great Song Dynasty has begun to change greatly in the past ten years.

In the past, the tenure and position of officials were very precarious, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the removal of political opponents from Bianliang and the forced departure from the center of power.

Sometimes he was even driven out of Bianliang by his political enemies to take office in a certain state, and before he could take up his post in the local area for a few days or even before he arrived at the place, he was transferred again, and then he kept running back and forth, and finally he was boiled to death on the road.

But now it's different.

As long as you do not have a bad political performance in your position, do not know the law and break the law, and do not seriously disagree with the Constitutional Yuan in your political position, then you will have at least a five-year term.

This means that the political ecology of officials is slowly stabilizing, and it is no longer as precarious as before.

In particular, the identity of the prefect of the Constitutional Yuan, not only has great power, but also has a gold medal equivalent to five years of exemption from death, even if a prime minister like Wang Sui who does nothing and does nothing can be impeached many times and stand tall.

The most important thing is to enter the Constitutional Yuan, which is equivalent to truly becoming a big man and a giant on one side, and can form his own forces, instead of either defecting to one side or being neutral and not daring to take sides, as before.

After all, don't look at Zhao Junquan's tilt towards the government and the opposition, but he can't influence the appointment and dismissal of all officials. Therefore, the prime minister is the dominant Zhao Jun family in the Constitutional Yuan, and he can be placed outside, that is, the existence of a top tycoon, who can control the appointment and dismissal of a large number of senior officials.

Therefore, in this case, whether it is for the sake of power or in order to further gain a foothold in the political arena, who does not want to ascend to the top of the supreme hall among these alternate colleagues who can be in charge of the heads of the sixteen first-level departments?

"Your Majesty has an edict!"

Wang Shouzhong slowly walked into the hall, and everyone's eyes immediately looked at him.

I saw Wang Shouzhong with his hands in front of him, and said calmly: "Xia Zhu, the secretary of the Xuancai Treasury, Zheng Jian, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Du Yan, the right counselor, have entered the hall!" ”

Suddenly, Xia Zhu was ecstatic, Zheng Jian, Li Ruogu, and Li Zheng had flat faces, Zhang Dexiang's face was pale, and Du Yan had a rather surprised expression.

Xia Zhu is happy that his long-cherished wish has come true, ten years ago he envied the existence of the Constitutional Yuan, and now today, he is finally a bitter daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law, and he actually has a day to enter the Constitutional Academy.

Zheng Jian is a temperamental character.

Li Ruogu and Li Jian knew that they had a high probability of running together, but there were no big ups and downs.

Zhang Dexiang was naturally shocked that he was defeated as a member of the Lu Party, and at the same time, he was also feeling all kinds of complicated emotions because he did not enter the Constitutional Yuan.

Only Du Yan thought that he would run with a high probability, but he never expected to go in, and the ups and downs of life are emotional.

"Let's go, three prime ministers!"

Wang Shouzhong saw that they were still standing in place and didn't seem to come back to their senses, and said with a smile: "The officials and the ministers are still waiting." ”

Three ministers?

Everyone felt like a world away for a while, quite a bit of a dragon gate, since then the feeling of being immortal.

But this may also be the current situation of the politics of the Great Song Dynasty today.

It's like Fan Jin was just a poor sour talent who ate the last meal but didn't have the next meal before the middle move.

And once he was lifted, he suddenly became the master of Wenqu Xing.

In "The Romance of the Gods", it is said that all the saints are ants, and in today's Great Song Dynasty, if they do not enter the Political Academy, they will not be able to control the world after all.

The three of them followed Wang Shouzhong slowly towards the apse of the vertical arch hall, pushed open the door, and everyone's eyes looked at them.

I saw that Zhao Zhen was sitting high on the main seat of the Ming Hall in the hall, and Zhao Jun, Yan Shu, Song Shou, Cai Qi and others on the left and right sides were sitting in columns, each with a chair.

These chairs seem to represent the supreme power of the Great Song Dynasty.

And now.

They will also have a chair.

"Chen Xia Zhu, Zheng Jian, Du Yan, see Your Majesty!"

The three of them walked to the middle and bowed in unison.

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Zhen's right hand was raised, and then his voice was like Hong Zhong Da Lu said: "Give me a seat!" ”

Wang Shouzhong waved his hand behind him, and several attendants moved the three Taishi chairs made of golden silk nanmu and placed them on the side of everyone.

The ranking order of the chairs is naturally exquisite, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han dynasties, with the right as the respect.

Therefore, at that time, the person who sat on the seat was often the highest in the right seat of the host.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the left was slowly respected, and this custom was also continued in the Tang and Song dynasties.

It's just that everyone was used to moving to the right for promotion and moving left for demotion, so although the Tang and Song dynasties began to respect the left, the custom of moving left was also retained.

Zhao Zhen's first place on the left hand side is Zhao Jun, and the first place on the right hand side used to be Lu Yijian, but now it has been replaced by Yan Shu.

followed by Song Shou, Cai Qi, Li Di, Zhang Shixun, Jia Changchao, Jiang Tang and others.

The seats of the three were arranged at the very end, representing the shallowest status and seniority in the Constitutional Yuan.

But even so, no one complained.

Because entering here represents incomparable power in itself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The three of them waited for the seats to be placed, first bowed to Zhao Zhen, and then sat respectfully.

After they sat down, Zhao Zhen looked at the crowd and said, "Which of you said?" ”

"I'll do it."

Yan Shu coughed, stood up, and faced the three of them: "Everyone, since you have entered the Constitutional Yuan, there are some things that you should know. ”

"Oh?"

The three of them were a little dazed, and their eyes were very puzzled.

Is there any secret to tell them?

Seeing Yan Shu continue: "This matter is a matter of imperial court secrets, and only many ministers and officials in the Constitutional Yuan can know. The two kings and Sheng Xiang didn't dare to reveal it to their families until they died, and you will do the same in the future. ”

"I don't know what a secret thing it is, even the civil and military officials can't know it, only if you enter the political system?"

Du Yan asked curiously.

"This matter is not trivial, you must remember that you can't say it until you die, and the offender is not as simple as dismissal and deprivation."

Yan Shu said lightly.

The faces of the three of them instantly became serious, isn't it as simple as dismissal and reduction?

That is to rob the family and exterminate the family.

In the era when the Great Song Dynasty was originally more tolerant of officials, it meant that this shocking secret was obviously a real secret!

Seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, Yan Shu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I've told you the warning beforehand, so I'll tell you." You know why my Great Song Dynasty has changed so much over the years. Why do you know that Han Long can go straight to the clouds with a white body and assume the position of the leader of the Constitutional Yuan? ”

"Does it have something to do with this big secret?"

Xia Zhu looked at Zhao Jun.

Although he is Zhao Jun's younger brother, he has never heard of Zhao Jun's background, and it is rumored that he is the youngest son of the first emperor.

Isn't it.

Is this true?

This thought flashed through Xia Zhu's mind.

However, in the next second, Yan Shu said softly: "Yes, because Hanlong is not a person from this era!" ”

People who don't belong to this era?

All three of them had their eyes wide open, their eyes full of doubt and incomprehension.

This sentence.

What is the meaning?

Not of this era?

Could it be that he came from another era?

"You can understand that Hanlong is from a thousand years later!"

Yan Shu said.

After he finished speaking, Du Yan immediately bounced up from his seat and said in disbelief: "This is impossible, how can someone come to my Great Song Dynasty from a thousand years later?" ”

"Nothing is impossible."

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "There are many wonderful things in this world, time, space, wormholes, maybe an accident, a strange cosmic phenomenon, can give birth to miracles." But no matter what, it is a fact that the eldest grandson came into this world. ”

"Yes, the power of science in later generations is very strong, and it can always explain all this."

"We can't deny it because we haven't seen it or seen it. What's more, Hanlong is something we have personally experienced, and he is indeed from the afterlife. ”

"It is said that as soon as there was a thunder in the sky, Han Long appeared in the back garden as if the space was torn, which is something that some guards have seen with their own eyes, and he has brought many things that are not available in the world today, and all the evidence of the future generations is in the laptop."

Many ministers are also proven.

In the past, they would find some other reasons, such as the manifestation of Taizu Taizong, and the existence of immortals in the world. But after years of being nurtured by science, they have come to believe in science.

"It's okay, if they don't believe it, they can show evidence, we can turn on the computer and show them a movie."

Zhao Jun stood up, walked to the table, and opened the laptop.

Ten years on, it's a miracle that the laptop has survived, except for getting a little bit stuck, and the solar charging panels haven't broken.

Seeing him go to open the laptop, Zhao Zhen frowned and fell into deep thought.

I watched the film last night.

Is there any way to clear the playback history of the video player?

It seems to be..

"Ahhh

There is a strange sound in the player.

No!

Zhao Zhen blushed for a moment.

Zhao Jun hurriedly closed it - he hadn't played on the computer for a long time, and he was a little rusty, if it was before, it must have been closed in seconds.

There was silence, and the ministers looked at each other with very strange eyes.

Although there was only a picture of two or three seconds just now, except for Zhang Shixun, who had bad eyes, the rest of the people saw it.

Boy.

I didn't expect this kind of good thing to be in the computer.

It's okay to hide it from your grandparents and grandchildren, even from us old buddies for many years, right?

"What's that? Is it a new game or a new movie? Let me be well? ”

Zhang Shixun put on reading glasses, and just now he vaguely saw two pieces of white flowers, but he didn't see anything.

"It's nothing, I'll watch the movie later."

Zhao Jun closed his notebook, looked at Zhao Zhen with disdain, and said in a low voice: "Boss, you haven't cleared the playback record of the film again, right?" ”

"I forgot, I forgot, my memory is not very good, pay attention next time."

"You're a symptom of kidney deficiency."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly adjusted his state, but fortunately, because of the problem of seat arrangement, several old ministers such as Yan Shu, Cai Qi, and Song Shou, who were close, saw it, and Xia Zhu, Du Yan, and Zheng Jian were far away and didn't see it clearly.

Otherwise, with Du Yan and Zheng Jian's more upright personalities, I am afraid that they will make a fuss.

"Amount"

Zhao Jun closed his laptop, turned around and said to the three of them: "Anyway, that's it, my identity is the thirty-seventh generation descendant of the Zhao family, and it is indeed from a thousand years later, 979 years to be exact, because it is now 1046 AD, and I came in 2023 AD." ”

"What is A.D.?"

Zheng Jian was puzzled.

"It's from the West, and they have a Christianity there, and the founder is called Jesus, and it is rumored that his birth date was set as A.D. At the same time, the year of our East is the first year of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty. ”

Zhao Jun said: "Of course, that is because the West first carried out the industrial revolution in later generations, and the production and technology led the world, so that they had the right to speak, so that they had a definition of the world, including the naming of the world's continents and oceans." But now it's different, it's up to us in the East to have the right to speak. ”

"Well, I feel very angry when I mention this matter, the names on the world map are all Western, and there are foreign characters on them, eldest grandson, do you see if our Great Song Dynasty should change these things and replace them with the names of our Chinese Han people?"

Zhao Zhen was afraid that everyone was still entangled in the notebook, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"In the future, when steamships come out, arrange a fleet to travel around the world, and let people name every place they go, so that we can spread our oriental culture."

Zhao Jun said: "Not only naming, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to become a modern country, it should also have a national flag, national anthem, and national emblem in the future, so as to condense the spiritual power of our Chinese civilization and make this flag the faith of the people of the whole country." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Zhen responded.

Then Zhao Jun looked at the three of them again: "Do you have any questions to ask now?" ”

"I wonder what will happen to our Great Song Dynasty in the future? What about the Hereafter? ”

Du Yan asked hurriedly.

"The Great Song Dynasty died, divided into the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the official family had no children in history, and Zhao Zongshi, the son of Zhao Yunrang, inherited the throne as Song Yingzong, and then experienced Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong four emperors, the Northern Song Dynasty died in 1127 AD, that is, 81 years later, the ninth son of Song Huizong ran to Liangzhejiang Road, re-established the Song Dynasty, known as the Southern Song Dynasty"

Zhao Jun briefly told the history after the Northern Song Dynasty in one breath.

Including the reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there is also the rise of the Jurchen, Mongolia and other ethnic groups, the successive destruction of the Liao Dynasty and the Jin State, and then the Jin State to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mongols to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and so on.

Then there is the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty by Mongolia, the Ming and Qing dynasties after the Yuan Dynasty, the Republic of China and their new era after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and so on for nearly a thousand years of history.

This is also something that must be said every time a new person comes in the Constitutional Yuan, although it will be a little annoying to repeat it many times, but it is actually okay for Zhao Jun.

At first, it's a bit like showing off to the ignorant.

Second, I only say it once every five years, which is not so frequent.

After listening to this, everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and everyone was seriously digesting these things that shocked their three views.

Not only Xia Zhu and the other three, but for the rest of the old people in the Constitutional Yuan, although they have known it for a long time, they have different feelings when they revisit it.

Yes.

According to historical development, they will perish in a few decades.

But so what?

The Great Song Dynasty is now thriving, and it is full of martial virtues, beating all the countries, how can there be any image of the country?

Western Xia and Liao were about to fall, and it was almost the same.

So if it weren't for Zhao Jun's appearance, maybe they would have died in such ignorance as in the original history.

Unlike now, even if he dies, he at least knows that the future of the Great Song Dynasty must be full of light.

The room was immersed for a long time, and everyone was reminiscing about something, full of silence.

After about seven or eight minutes, seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Jun broke the silence with a smile and said: "Actually, there is no need for everyone to be so serious, although the Great Song Dynasty will die in the future, but that is also a thing in history, it is completely different now, there is no need to feel depressed for what happened in history." ”

"It's better to be relaxed and happy for a while."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the crowd again.

But before he could say the next sentence, Yan Shu next to him rolled his eyes and said, "It's another Da Song joke, right?" ”

"Those who know me, Uncle Rari."

Zhao Jun laughed.

Then without waiting for everyone to react, he said: "Zhao Guangyi asked Cao Bin: "What is the purpose of digging so many ponds on the border of Hebei?"

Cao Bin replied: "Isn't it to prevent the Khitan cavalry from going south?" ”

"No", Zhao Guangyi retorted: "It is to make the people think that we are guarding against the Khitan cavalry going south, and the Khitan people know that we are not." ”

As soon as the words fell.

All of a sudden, the faces of everyone in the room were colorful.

Everyone's face changed drastically.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Jun with resentful eyes.

Great grandson.

Didn't you say yes? Will he stop making fun of his grandfather in the future?

Yan Shu, Cai Qi, Song Shou and others looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Although the Great Song joke has been heard many times.

But I don't know why, every time I listen to it, I feel funny.

I'm about to hold my pee.

Only Xia Zhu, Du Yan, and Zheng Jian were shocked.

Xia Zhu was even more frightened.

The heart is broken.

His backer actually likes to die so much.

Mock Emperor Taizong.

And he scolded other people's grandfathers in front of their grandchildren.

Nine heads aren't enough to cut off.

However, what Xia Zhu didn't expect was that what was waiting for was not Zhao Zhen's thunderous anger, but the strange atmosphere in the house.

It's even a little cheerful.

looked at Zhao Zhen's face that didn't seem to be angry.

Xia Zhu was a little dazed.

What's going on?

Why didn't the official family get angry at all.

Don't.

The descendants of the old Zhao family are already so arrogant.

Can you dance on the grave of your ancestors?
