I am Da Song

Chapter 143 Female Officials and Official Prostitutes

After appeasing the soldiers, Zhao Huan hosted a banquet in Nanjing to entertain several heroes who had brought order out of the chaos in the rebellion.

The first person in the list is Han Shizhong, who took advantage of his concubine Liang Hongyu.He himself led the main force out of the city to surrender, and his concubine Liang Hongyu made great achievements in capturing the city, and all the meritorious deeds were piled on him.

Followed by Yang Cunzhong, he also participated in the capture of the city, and captured Fan Ne.

The third is Zhao Huan's old acquaintance, Wang De.He is the chief general of the army under Liu Guangshi's command to set things right.

This is a fierce man, who fights bravely and kills like hemp. In history, he is the number one fierce general under Liu Guangshi's command.

But now he has belonged to Liu Guangshi for a short time. He was transferred to Liu Guangshi's command after he arrived in Nanjing, and the relationship between his superiors and subordinates was less than a month old.

And he and Zhao Huan were very close.

His Wang De nickname "Wang Yecha" was given to him by Zhao Huan's predecessor, less than a year ago.

At that time, the Jin people invaded, and Wang De led [-] cavalry troops straight into Longde Mansion, and captured Yao Taishi, the prefect appointed by the Jin army, alive.The enemy troops went to intercept them, and Wang De killed dozens of people with his own hands. The enemy troops were terrified, and no one dared to step forward.

Song Junxian captured Yao Taishi in Tokyo. Zhao Huan's predecessor heard the name of Wang De Yacha, and from then on, the world called Wang De "Wang Yacha".

With this relationship, back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhao Huan was Wang De's sponsor.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, there was no such relationship as "lord" and "Ming Gong", and the powerful families were all swept into the dust of history.

The only ones Wang De can pledge allegiance to are the royal family of the Song Dynasty, either Zhao Huan or Zhao Gou, and Wang De knows how to choose by voting with his feet.

The fourth is not a military general, but a civil servant, who sent a judge for Jianghuai, Xiang Zichen (yīn).

He is not only a famous official in history, known as "great talent and great achievements, great loyalty and integrity", but more importantly, he is the second son of Queen Shenzong Qinsheng Xiansu.

I don't know what kind of toxicity the Zhao Song royal family has. Anyone who is related to Zhao Huan, even if they are not related by blood, has a bad backbone.

Although this Jianghuai dispatch judge, his talent is not bad, his moral character is also considered to be clean and honest, like a clear stream among scholar-bureaucrats.But his courage was really mediocre. Seeing Master Wang besieging the city, he was so frightened that his legs went limp.He surrendered resolutely the moment the cry of "killing the murderer and punishing the rebellion" sounded in the city.

The Great Song used culture to control military forces. Although he was the judge of Jianghuai Shipping, he had a lot of troops, and his subordinates, general Wang Yi and others, were quite astute.They didn't dare to go to the streets to fight, but tens of thousands of people occupied the west of the city, almost filling half of the city, shouting at the top of their voices: "Master of the imperial court, punish the murderer!"

The majestic momentum and thunderous roar made the chaotic rebels completely lose their judgment on the situation. Most of them followed suit, and finally the rebellious situation collapsed.

Zhao Huan was very interested in this relative.As long as you don't throw him to the front line and don't let him face the sword, he is basically a perfect minister.

I just like some poetry and songs, and I still have a little integrity.The key is that he is talented and not corrupt.

It is suitable for rectifying the water transportation along the Jianghuai line and transporting grain and grass to Tokyo and Nanjing.As long as he is promoted to another level, he can perfectly solve the difficult problems that the court is facing now.

So before the other people's rewards came down, the Zhengshitang first sent an order: "Xiang Zichen has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and he will be promoted to Jianghuai Transit Envoy."

The Zhengshitang has gained a lot of power in this battle, there is no way, some officials are pulling sideways, and Shang Shusheng really can't compete with them.

For example, Zhao Huan directly handed over the rewards of official positions, the transfer of personnel, and the transfer of materials to Li Gang.The following six departments did not dare to disobey the orders of the Zhengshitang, so they could only follow the orders.

All the news from Shang Shusheng was two to three days behind that of Zhengshitang, and the left and right ministers could only stare blankly.Although the officials of the three provinces were angry, they were helpless.Because the time difference was really not caused by Zhao Huan on purpose, it was just that the court organization was redundant and everything was done according to the rules, so his efficiency was so low.

However, Zhao Huan's orders to the Zhengshitang were all private and direct, and there was no comparison between the two.This is almost according to the heads of the officials of the three provinces, forcing them to see how redundant their institutions are, how cumbersome the process is, and how inefficient they are.

In Tokyo, some officials have called the Government Affairs Hall and the Privy Council the "East and West Governments" of the New Deal.

There is nothing new under the sun. The officials of the Song Dynasty have been in the officialdom for many years. They are all old fritters. They have gradually realized that the so-called Zhengshitang is nothing more than the Privy Council in terms of political affairs.

You must know that the Privy Council was also established in this situation at the beginning. It was filled by the emperor's cronies, and it efficiently and directly implemented the will of the emperor.

The so-called Eastern and Western Governments are nothing more than the Privy Council in charge of military affairs and the Political Affairs Hall in charge of political affairs.

People of insight have already seen clearly that it is only a matter of time before the Zhengshitang replaces the three provinces.

However, Zhao Huan was not interested in the deeds of these rough men, so he left them to the prime minister.With a prime minister and a chief assistant, Zhao Huan can indeed save a lot of energy.

He is still more interested in the most beautiful beauties, such as Liang Hongyu who is sitting next to Han Shizhong in the hall right now.

Influenced by the royal aesthetic, Liang Hongyu also wore a simple and elegant dress, a plain white dress.Although her appearance is beautiful, she is still a little worse than the empress, so she can't be regarded as an alluring country.

But her temperament is very impressive, and her height is only a little lower than that of men, so her long legs are very against the sky.It belongs to the most popular type in later generations, with a slender waist and long legs, beautiful and sassy.

Zhao Huan said to her: "I heard that Mrs. Han is a hero among women, and can even lead soldiers to fight. Would you like to serve the court and resettle tens of thousands of disaster-stricken women in the city?"

Female officer is not a particularly rare position in Song Dynasty.For example, the Imperial City Division, before Zhao Huan's restructuring, there were always female officials among the ten officials in charge of the Imperial City Division, which lasted for nearly 200 years.

It is common for female officials in the palace to learn court etiquette, various rules and regulations, read and write, and review chapters.Not only serving the emperor, but also serving the Shangshu Province.Moreover, there are standardized promotion systems, ranks, and salaries to take.

This also means that if Zhao Huan wanted to promote women as officials in the Song Dynasty, there was not much resistance.

The civilization and openness of the Song Dynasty in terms of internal affairs and cultural governance are indeed worthy of the evaluation: "The culture of Zhuxia has evolved for thousands of years, and it has evolved for thousands of years, and it was created in the era of Zhao and Song."

Liang Hongyu's expression moved, and she was very interested in the official's proposal. She was not a husband and wife in the first place, so being an official in the imperial court and being in charge of one party's government affairs was very in line with her wishes.

But Liang Hongyu still asked cautiously: "How do the officials plan to arrange these women?"

Zhao Huan asked: "What will happen as usual?"

"Usually, these women are captured by the army, and most of them will serve as official prostitutes."

Zhao Huan resolutely refused: "From now on, our Song army no longer has this practice. At the same time, under the rule of the Fansheng Dynasty, there will no longer be any official prostitutes."

"Our Song army does not need prostitutes to boost morale! Our officials in the Song Dynasty can't entertain officials with prostitutes! This is an iron law, and those who violate it will be dismissed immediately."

Brothel song halls are only privately operated, but the government will never allow official prostitutes to keep.
