I studied in modern times

Chapter 167

When Zhao Xu arrived at the Kunning Hall, the Queen Mother Xiang was knitting something, and when she saw Zhao Xu arrived, she hurriedly put it away.

Zhao Xu didn't find out about this, so he went up to invite Ann.

Then he sat down in front of the Empress Dowager and said: "Mother, my son just met Shen Kuo again in the Chongzheng Hall...and listened to his report on copper smelting with gall water..."

"Oh..." Empress Dowager Xiang became interested and asked, "What did Shen Kuo say? Is it alchemy?"

After the two palaces gave orders to Dutang yesterday, discussions started in the imperial city.

Many people said that this is probably another alchemist's alchemy technique.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, there have been alchemists among the people who used the so-called "medicine gold" to deceive those ignorant people.

Even now, every three to five years, the magistrate will report and catch a guy who is similar to a bluff.

Empress Dowager Xiang was also a little worried.

In case it was a hoax...

It won't sound good if it gets out!

"Shen Tijuyan, I have ordered people to test it, and what was smelted is indeed copper!" Zhao Xu replied: "I also asked, Shen Tijuyan, this is the truth in the scriptures of the sages!"

"It is the practice of the saint's teaching..."

"Extending knowledge lies in the way of investigating things, and the principles derived from the investigation!"

Nodding to the Queen Mother, he patted Zhao Xu's head and said, "That's good!"

……

The next day, the Yanhe Hall will listen to the government.

Some officials gave the dragon to Peng Yunzong, the magistrate of the prefecture, etc., and repaired envoys to pay tribute (this is the chieftain, and the Peng family is one of the ancestors of the chieftain system).

The two palaces ordered to give gold and silver, and ordered Yousi to admonish the envoys, telling Peng Yunzong and others to remember to protect the environment and the people, and not to cause trouble.

Han Jiang, the right minister, played on behalf of Shangshu Province: Those who are over [-] years old, each begs for the name of the descriptive law to become an official.

This is to amnesty those officials who have committed mistakes, lost their assignments and official positions, and treated their sins at home.

Let them use the official positions stipulated in the Suifu Law to serve.

The two palaces are naturally good.

I met scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, not just talking!

In theory, even a minister who has been stripped of hemp, as long as he has not destroyed his writing since his birth, he is still a scholar-bureaucrat and still enjoys the power and social status that a scholar-bureaucrat should have!

Even if you are locked in a prison, you still enjoy exclusive VIP treatment.

Wu Juhou was imprisoned in Yushitai for more than a month, and it is said that he gained a few pounds after he came out!
That is Li Ding, the unlucky boy. In order to dig out his material, Yu Shitai used mental attack techniques, interrogated him day and night, prevented him from resting, and made him lose more than ten catties.

The economic envoy of Huanqing Road played a detailed report on the Battle of Helanyuan and a list of meritorious Han and Tibetan soldiers.

very funny!
The people who captured the fake son-in-law Yan Juewei were actually two Tibetan archers!
That is, minority militias.

One is called Suiwei, and the other is called Changyi. Judging from their names, there is a high probability that they are still members of the party.

Therefore, the life of the two palaces is highly rewarded.

Therefore, the two archers each transferred three funds and rewarded fifty bolts of silk.

During all these reports, Zhao Xu remained silent.

Until, the Ministry of Officials played: When I newly knew Lu Gongru in Hangzhou, I changed my knowledge to Yunzhou.

Zhao Xu didn't hold back, he turned his head to look at the curtain.

Asked to the two palaces: "Mother and Queen Mother, I have seen the confession of this Lu Gongru. He has been in Hangzhou for less than two months..."

"And his predecessor was in Yingzhou (now Chongming Island, Shanghai)..."

"I'm afraid I have just taken up the post. Is it appropriate to transfer to Yunzhou like this?"

Hearing Zhao Xu's question, he replied to the queen mother: "This is the system of the court to praise scholar-bureaucrats!"

Of course Zhao Xu knew this.

In order to praise a certain scholar-bureaucrat, he was deliberately transferred back and forth.

Like Lu Gongru, he changed to three or four different local prefectures within a year.

This is tantamount to accumulating three or four local prefectural tenures in a short period of time, which is a bug of the Kamakan method, which is convenient for promotion in the future!
But this is actually very bad for the stability of the bureaucratic system!

And as far as Lu Gongru is concerned, he has not done anything recently and is just running around on the road.

If the body is not strong enough, it is not impossible to die on the road!

"If you want to praise, why don't you add a post to the embassy?" Zhao Xu asked: "I think that adding a post to the embassy can praise the minister even more!"

The two palaces within the curtain looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager said: "The official is right!"

So, the Empress Dowager asked: "What is Lu Gongru's post in the pavilion now?"

The Ministry of Officials selected Langzhong from the right to play: Lu Gongru is now entering the Zhilongtu Pavilion through the Zhijixian Academy.

The two palaces ordered Jialong Tuge to be a bachelor, so that Lu Gongru still knew Hangzhou!

Immediately looked sideways at the hall.

Zhang Dun lowered his head even more: "Can the young master even intervene in personnel affairs?"

"Moreover, it also changed the traditional personnel change..."

Zhang Dun knew that from then on, if there were similar incidents, the Ministry of Officials would no longer follow the example of the past and let the ministers run around, but directly follow today's story-Jia Qiguan Pavilion post!
It's a small thing, but it means a lot!

The most important thing is - the two palaces accepted and agreed to the young master's proposal.

Unbelievable!

Zhang Dun remembered the conversation he had with Shen Kuo in the Arms Manufacturing Bureau yesterday.

"Does the young master have an oral order?"

Shen Kuo was silent.

"What do you mean by investigating things and acquiring knowledge?" Zhang Dun asked persistently.

"Your Majesty said: Extending knowledge lies in investigating things, and then knowing after studying things. The scriptures of the sages penetrate the heaven and the earth, and the magic of good fortune lies in it!"

If you ask him again, you will die and refuse to talk again, just play charades with him.

Talk about the views of qi, and talk about Zhou Dunyi and Hu Yuan's cognition of the universe.

Zhang Dun is a very smart person, and he soon discovered it from Shen Kuo's tone.

Shen Kuo spoke according to orders.

This made Zhang Dun's heart itch.

Zhang Dun felt that the young master seemed to have a special arrangement for Zhang Zihou in this matter.

At least let Shen Kuo reveal something to him, although Shen Kuo didn't say everything.

But the stammering tone and demeanor when speaking convinced Zhang Dun that what he said was inspired.

It was on purpose!
This completely incomprehensible feeling made Zhang Dun restless.

He was eager for a close solo duet.

Naihe has never had a chance, nor can he find a way.

He is in power, unless the emperor speaks in person and summons him to play against him, otherwise he will rashly seek justice, and other colleagues will think that he is going to sue.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun was inevitably restless in the queue, and looked up at the temple from time to time.

As a result, it immediately provoked a warning from Sheren, who is in charge of guards in the palace.

Zhang Dun finally calmed down.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun!"

"You have today too! Hehe..."

In the previous life, Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun were monarchs and ministers who cooperated tacitly in state affairs.

But in court and in private, they are all fun people who like to spoof others.

Zhang Dun has been alone for six years, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, and he dares to spoof Zhao Xu later.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Xu teased Zhang Dun many times.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu failed to leave any instructions or arrangements for Zhang Dun in advance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't end up in such a field!

……

After the court meeting ended, Zhao Xu did not leave the Hall of Yanhe.

Instead, he and the two palaces continued to stay in the palace.

Because, today, Lu Gong's work will enter the pilgrimage again.

After entering Hajj this time, it's time to call on the government!
The two palaces have already consulted the right minister Han Jiang, and even sent someone to politely ask the left minister Cai Que.

Both prime ministers recommended Lu Gong's works to be admitted to the Privy Council, so as to know the affairs of the Privy Council or the Privy Council envoys!

The reason is also very simple - Lu Gong wrote Yuanfeng three years ago as a privy envoy for Emperor Daxing, and he is familiar with all the affairs of the Privy Council. The young master is new to the throne, so he should rely on Lu Gong's stability in military affairs and state affairs!
Both palaces were taken aback, and they also felt that it was very appropriate for Lu Gong to go to the West Mansion!
Moreover, presiding over the Privy Council in the name of a privy envoy in the name of praising veterans is an attitude of praising veterans today after Yuanfeng's restructuring.

Only Zhao Xu knew that whether it was Cai Que or Han Jiang, they were actually writing to exclude Lu Gong.

why?
Now the East Mansion and the West Mansion are divided into classes.

The system, rules and ancestral system all let the Privy Council have little say in the specific affairs of the East Mansion.

If Duke Lu's works were to enter the Privy Council, he would probably only have the right to make decisions on border affairs.

In this way, Han Jiang can rule out the influence of Lu Gong's works, and still preside over the government with the qualifications equivalent to the sole prime minister.

Cai Que can guarantee that the ministers of the new law in the capital hall have the numerical advantage!

So as to pave the way for him to enter the court again in the future.

It can only be said that they are all thousand-year-old foxes!
Now, it depends on how Mr. Lu accepts the move.

Zhao Xu is still looking forward to this.

For Zhao Xu, he doesn't care who wins or loses in this matter.

Since it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you can naturally sit on the Diaoyutai.
