Chapter 124 Buying an Official
"The prince has found another good thing for me!" Huang Jingchen said with a wry smile when he looked at the secret letter sent by the prince. Now both mother and mother are in love with Heqi, but they have made him suffer this errand runner. First, this old guy ignored it.
How I persuaded him was to refuse, but the prince used a trick to trick him into the mansion and walked away, solving the main problem, but it caused such trouble.
"Master, what are the instructions for the prince?" Shunzi asked hurriedly.
"He Qufei's old man, the prince has already stabilized himself with a plan. He is on his way back to the capital, but because he is a military officer, he is unwilling to take up his post. The prince told us to try our best to change his official position!" Huang Jingchen ordered him to do his best to change his official position!"
The letter burned and said.
"This old man is quite stubborn. Why did the prince fall in love with him? But it shouldn't be difficult to have the empress come forward." Shunzi said.
"He Qufei was demoted from Beijing because he was not good at socializing, arrogant and offended too many people. Now he has made contributions in governing the local area. Although he was transferred back to Beijing, he is still an eighth rank. It can be seen that some people still have
It is difficult to deal with if you hold a grudge against him!" Huang Jingchen sighed and said, "The Empress is our greatest backer. The prince repeatedly emphasized that you should not speak easily until the critical moment. Don't alarm the Empress if you have such a small matter!"
"Are the prince too cautious? Are they still using these things as mother and son?" Shunzi asked in confusion.
"Don't forget that the official family is not only the prince, but the harem is full of beauties. The life of the empress is difficult. If these small things are to alarm the empress to tell the official family, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's disgust and wariness.
In the long run, this is not good for us!" Huang Jingchen explained.
"The prince is thoughtful!" Huang Jingchen pointed at it, and Shunzi immediately understood, and he sighed.
"Take me the bronze tripod from the Zhou Dynasty that I just received, and prepare two sets of glass cups in the opposite store. I want to invite someone to dinner today!" Huang Jingchen thought for a moment and ordered.
"Who do you want to invite to the high-ranking official?" This gift was prepared very lightly, and it totaled tens of thousands of yuan.
"Grandma Liang, Liang Shicheng!" Huang Jingchen curled his lips and said with a smile. Shunzi nodded. Liang Shicheng's market has been rising in the past two years. Even Cai Jing and his son, who are powerful all over the world, have to flatter him. The court calls him "
The hidden prime minister is standing with the "Prince Prime Minister" Cai Jing and the "Mother Prime Minister" Tong Guan. This person has a good relationship with them. This is the person on the prince's "blacklist" and there are gifts every New Year's Day.
"Stop and catch him!" Just as the two of them were talking, there were bursts of shouts coming from the street outside the window.
"Oh, it must be the yamen runners arresting people again. The new etiquette law has been implemented for more than half a month, but fewer and fewer people on the street. If this continues, our restaurant will not be able to open!" Shunzi sighed and said.
Huang Jingchen could only shake his head and smile bitterly. The prince’s father was crazy again, and no one could take care of this matter.
....
Since last year, Zhao Ji was moved by the rampant bandits and the civil customs were corrupted. He decided to focus on spiritual civilization construction and restore the ancient system in all aspects, and restore the ancient system even for weddings, funerals, clothing, etc. He believed that etiquette should be traced back to the three generations.
It is meaning that the "Kaiyuan Lexi" practiced in the Tang Dynasty currently used is no longer suitable for the new situation and is not enough to be a law. Therefore, he personally wrote the eleven volumes of "Crown Lexi History" and handed it to the Bureau of Rites, and ordered the Bureau of Rites to follow this.
Re-education of the Five Rites. In the first month of the third year of Zhenghe, the new Five Rites were completed, including the six volumes of the catalog, which totaled 226 volumes. Huizong personally named it "The New Rites of Zhenghe Five Rites". In April, it was promulgated and implemented.
In order to increase the intensity of execution, patrols with illegal clothing and strange clothes appeared on the streets of Kaifeng. The members were mainly spies from the Imperial City Division, left and right troops of Kaifeng Prefecture, and officials under the left and right wings.
No matter what kind of reforms, no matter how many people are hurt, there will always be beneficiaries. But they are a few, and the majority are suffering. Kaifeng City has more than one million residents, officials, merchants, and scholars gathered, and no one can find out.
Everyone's true identity and level did not have an ID card at that time. Based on what determines whether the person's clothes and car rides violated the imperial edict? It depends on these yamen runners. They can determine it at will during the inspection. I am the king's law.
, you can make various excuses to blackmail
The originally prosperous and romantic Tokyo City suddenly turned out to be miserable and full of tense and terrifying atmosphere. People from other places fled from Beijing, and local residents did not dare to take the streets easily without any trouble. From Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate, from Xinsong Gate to Xinsong Gate to
Xinzheng Gate was originally crowded and bustling. Now it has become desolate and desolate, with cars and horses left in front of the door. Restaurants, tea shops, brothels, and music halls are neglected in front of Yemen, which is a big shame.
People often get married because etiquette does not comply with the new regulations. Lu Xu comes to raise troops to investigate the crime. If the funeral ceremony is not in line with the situation, the deceased will not be buried. Taishi Cai likes to wear blue clothes, called Taishi Qing. If the people wear such color clothes, it is to be etiquette.
If it does not match, it will be disrespectful to Master Cai. By the same token, there are bans on clothes, such as yellow, gold, purple, etc., so what are the cloth shops selling? There are no doors, craftsmen are unemployed, and taxes are not settled.
"The beautiful clouds are rippling and spring sunshine, and my concubines are out of Fengcheng. Jingjiang sent the Forbidden City, and the sky is hidden in the vast abyss and the sky is lingering." As soon as Zhao Ji's imperial pen fell, Zhao Kai had already recited it, "A good poem written by his father, the emperor
Ah, now, here and now, this scene is all in the poem!”
"Haha!" Zhao Ji laughed loudly as he heard the tide of flattery. Wherever he looked, he was smiling. But suddenly he found that Zhao Huan, the eldest son in the crowd, was frowning, "Huan'er, this scene is not there.
Is it beautiful?" he asked with concern.
"Father, this place is very beautiful, but it is too luxurious!" Zhao Huan said bowing.
"Brother, now the treasury is full and the people are happy. The old palace is too narrow. The father and emperor are just slightly expanded. How can they be extravagant?" Before Zhao Ji could speak, Zhao Kai said first.
"Hmph!" Zhao Ji looked unconscious and shook his sleeves forward. Zhao Kai hurriedly supported his father forward and left the lost Zhao Huan. He looked at the newly completed Yanfu Palace, with the same length as the old palace in the east and west, and the north and south.
A little shorter. It reaches Jinglongmen in the east and Tianbomen in the west. The palace has two horizontal gates in the east and west, called Chenhui and Lize respectively. The palace is composed of seven halls and fifteen pavilions, and it also stacks stones to make mountains, digging seas to make ponds, and sparse springs
It is a lake full of rare birds and beasts, precious flowers and trees, and the secluded land is like a heavenly land. The moat outside the city is dredged with water three feet deep. It is covered with Jinglong and Tianbo Bridges. The stones are stacked under the bridge to form a garden, which leads boats to connect with each other. It is called Jinglongjiang.
It is also between Jinglongjiang and Fengqiu Gate, and planting strange flowers and trees on the shore, and the palaces are confronted by each other. Isn’t it right to say that it is extravagant?
"Huan'er, let's go!" Just as Zhao Huan was sad, a gentle hand patted him lightly.
"Mother!" Zhao Huan looked back in surprise and found that it was Queen Zheng Hongmei, so he quickly saluted.
"Today, the new palace is built, and your father is in great interest. Don't ruin his excitement and make him dislike him!" Zheng Hongmei said softly.
"Be careful to follow the teachings of my mother!" Zhao Huan replied respectfully.
"Huan'er, please travel with us!" Zheng Hongmei saw his appearance, afraid that he would be rude in front of the emperor, so she asked Zhao Huan to walk with her.
"Thank you, Mother!" Zhao Huan looked at his sisters, and everyone was full of fun, pointing and laughing, laughing and laughing, but he felt lonely.
"Oh, I don't know what would happen if Tsar was here?" Zheng Hongmei glanced at Zhao Huan, who was almost as tall as her and followed her in a distance, and then looked at Zhao Kai who was walking with the emperor in front of her, thinking, "
Now the voice of a neutral crown prince appears again, and the most popular one is the eldest son of the emperor, but the emperor does not seem to like him, but prefers the third prince Zhao Kai, but he does not know how much weight Shi Er has in the hearts of the official family.
Haven't seen him, have you forgotten him long ago..."
Zhao Ji suddenly saw the pool bank in front of him bent and natural, full of wildness. The pool water is like a mirror, reflecting the shadow of trees, flowers, mountains, clouds, and various buildings. The pool water is colorless, but the color is even more intense.
Rich and more moving. Among the flowers on the trees, the sound of orioles is circling, purple swallows are flying, and hundreds of birds are singing harmoniously. Mandarin ducks are roaming in the water, gulls and egrets are flying in shock because of the boat. There are the sound of spring water, fish leaping, and birds singing in the pond.
People's laughter merged into a wonderful sound of nature. Although the pool surface is vast, when layout, pay attention to using small islands, curved bridges, stone boats, and stream paths to divide the water surface.
Zhao Ji walked along the Quqiao to the stone yard, "Good scene, although it is open here, it can give people a clear and cheerful feeling, which is a big move of "boldly falling ink"!" Facing the spring breeze, he looked at the wide one
The water surface said.
"Does the official family have poetry?" Liang Shicheng, who followed closely behind, quickly stepped forward and delivered the paper and pen.
"The Longde Palace has been completed, and the Secret Chai is clean and worships the Three Qing Dynasties. Penglai is not rare enough, and thousands of towers are dark and tiles are bright. The jade is deep and the cave is covered with pine and cypress, and the hills are green in all seasons. Looking around the railings and the stream is green,
It was like a screen of immortals." Zhao Ji wrote a poem, and the beautiful scenery and elegant calligraphy made him intoxicated.
"Thank you, the official!" Seeing that the emperor was obsessed, Liang Shicheng immediately ordered people to put tea and snacks on it to give him a nap.
"Yeah!" Zhao Ji was very satisfied with the newcomer. Although Yang Jian was well-behaved, he was old and could not keep up with his footsteps. "Shi Cheng, is that Ding Zhou Ding?" He suddenly found that there was a placing on the stone yard next to the stone yard.
A bronze tripod asked.
"The official has good eyesight. This is offered by He Zhengtong, the magistrate of Cangzhou who returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. Seeing the empty place, he decided to put it there. Does the official think it is suitable?" Liang Shicheng Mei said with a smile.
"Not bad!" Zhao Ji got up and circled around the cauldron and said, "This thing is rare. It looks like something in the palace of the Zhou Dynasty, but it is a good thing. Did you just say it was offered by He Zhengtong?"
"Yes, he was a doctor of martial arts granted by the late emperor, but he was outstanding in his articles. His father, Su, had a high evaluation of him. He had recommended him many times to change his civil service, but he had never been able to do so, which was a pity!"
"Queen, have you ever wanted to make this person a sage master?" Zhao Ji nodded, and suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.
"Official family, yes, Takaya is far away in the countryside, and there has never been a famous teacher. He Zhengtong is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. I really have this intention!" Zheng Hongmei answered quickly.
"Well, he was awarded a doctorate by the previous emperor, and Mr. Su praised him again. It seems that he is indeed talented!" Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Shi Cheng, please see this person for me. If you agree, you can transfer it to him first."
Please choose civil servants!”
"Abide by the sages!" Liang Shicheng bowed and said, "Since the emperor is sure, I'm going to get him a fifth rank, and it's not in vain that he asked Lao Huang to give me those two sets of glass cups!" He thought secretly,
Chapter completed!
