Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 85

Zhao Dezhao walked in slowly, with a smile on his face, showing no trace of annoyance.

All the brothers of the Wang family looked at each other in blank dismay, each of them was very embarrassed. When the six brothers got up to greet Zhao Dezhao, their expressions were quite unnatural.

Zhao Dezhao didn't bother to pay attention to these petty uncles, so he bowed his hands casually as a salute, turned to Wang Zixing and said, "Brother Xing, I heard that Yue-zhang is ill, so I came to visit him, as far as I can see, it's almost Since this uncle has the leisure to talk nonsense with you here, father-in-law's health should be fine, right?"

Father-in-law Wang Pu and his wife Wang Xiuzhi are not here, so Zhao Dezhao asked this question.

"Your Highness is concerned. My father is just feeling a little unwell, and it's not a serious problem." After saying this, Wang Zixing glanced coldly at the six elder brothers, and the six of them all showed embarrassment on their faces, and they all lowered their heads. head.

Seeing such an embarrassing situation with his own eyes, what is there in Zhao Dezhao's heart that he doesn't understand?It must be that several uncles planned to join forces to criticize him and prevent him from continuing to work for him, so they hurriedly called him home because of his father-in-law's minor illness, and his wife was also deceived by it. As a result, he hurried back to his mother's house.

But these are trivial matters, he didn't bother to delve into it, he just rolled his eyes at those uncles, and then said to Wang Zixing: "Brother Xing, since Yue-zhang is in good health, it would be great, you can do more Spend some time at the State Administration of Taxation, I happen to have a business here to find you."

"Your Highness—" Wang Zixing hurriedly bowed down to invite Zhao Dezhao to discuss in detail outside.

Zhao Dezhao shook his hand with a smile, and raised his voice and said, "It's okay to say it here, this is a business matter, and it's also a great joy for the Wang family!"

After saying this, Zhao Dezhao deliberately paused for a while, and glanced coldly at the six brothers of the Wang family.

All the brothers of the Wang family raised their heads one after another, and Liu Dao looked suspiciously at the faces of Zhao Dezhao and Wang Zixing.

"I promised earlier that I would recommend officials for you and Shi Yuanliang. Now I have fulfilled my promise. My father has agreed to appoint you as the director of the State Administration of Taxation, from the third rank; appoint Shi Yuanliang as the deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation, the fourth rank. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Dezhao saw a circle of bewildered and bewildered faces, and even heard the sound of a certain uncle's teacup falling to the ground. Among them, Wang Zixing himself was the one who lost his temper. Jumping up, almost kicking the chair over, it seems that the surprise is too much to be frightened.

What Zhao Dezhao said about the director and the deputy director was never mentioned in the official system of the Song Dynasty. The guys in the restaurant know it all!
How many people have struggled in the officialdom for decades until their hair is gray, and they want to ask for a fourth-rank official treatment, but they can't get it after retirement!

Not to mention "from the third grade", a Beijing official of this grade is qualified to occupy a position in the court meeting, and can hold a wat board face to face with the emperor. This kind of treatment and prospect itself surpasses the grade !
"Your Highness, are you joking?"

After the shock and silence, the boss of the Wang family was the first to question him. He was an official in the shadow of his father, and now he is an official in Kaifeng. This is self-confident, but compared to his seventh brother, it is almost equivalent to being stepped on the ground, so his face is the most ugly.

The second son of the Wang family smiled dryly and echoed: "Well, Your Highness must be joking. In the Song Dynasty, there has never been an example of becoming a third-rank official in the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Dezhao lowered his face, and said coldly: "Officials and honors are national treasures; my father's words are even more difficult for the emperor. Who dares to use these jokes to deceive people? This king doesn't have the guts Yes, presumably you brothers don’t have the courage, do you?”

After a pause, he continued: "As for my Song Dynasty, there was no precedent in the past. This king can be named the king of Tianshui County, and the deed tax drawn up by this king, and even the State Administration of Taxation created by hand, is there anything that has been successful in the past? For example? Could it be that some uncle wants to press all these back?"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene fell into a longer silence. The six brothers of the Wang family lowered their heads and remained silent, thinking about their own thoughts.

Finally, someone coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Highness, the State Administration of Taxation has not long been established, and there must be a shortage of manpower in the yamen..."

Zhao Dezhao glanced at him. It was the fifth son of the Wang family. This uncle was still white. He was probably the most eager to become an official, and his face should also be the thickest. He immediately put on a smiling face facing his relatives.

"Naturally there is a shortage of manpower. It's just that the king has already handed over the task of supervising the national taxation. If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. In the future, the selection and appointment of the State Administration of Taxation will naturally be decided by Brother Dexing. Your flesh and blood Between brothers, I'm afraid they are easier to talk to than my cousin."

How could the six brothers of the Wang family fail to understand what Zhao Dezhao meant?Do you want to ask for Qiancheng's help? Yes, I will ask your Qilang for help!Aren't you blood brothers? !
Seeing that after Wang Zixing embraced the thick leg of the county king's brother-in-law, his official career leapt ahead of all his brothers, among the six brothers of the Wang family, it was not just the old Wu who was moved to cling to him, but everyone always trampled on Wang Zixing. At the bottom of the feet, they couldn't let go of their faces for a while, so they each looked hesitant and worked hard in their stomachs.

Zhao Dezhao ignored them, turned to Wang Zixing with a smile, and said, "Brother Xing, I have always felt that your problem is that you are too aggressive, too sharp, and you never forgive others in words and deeds—"

Wang Zixing suddenly raised his head and interrupted: "Does Your Highness want me to change it?"

"No! Whoever says something is wrong must be corrected!"

"I heard that there is a discussion in Tokyo, saying that the king is young and energetic. This king has a word of encouragement for himself, and I will also pass it to you, Brother Xing--"

"Young people are not arrogant, what are they called young people!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dezhao stretched out his hand and patted Wang Zixing's shoulder heavily.

Wang Zixing's eyes showed a look of gratitude, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to die for a certain person in return, not only because of that extraordinary third-rank official!

"My brothers are all crowded here, what's the big deal to discuss?!"

Wang Xiuzhi came out after visiting his father inside, and was startled when he saw the seven elder brothers gathered here with strange expressions.

Immediately seeing Zhao Dezhao was also there, she couldn't help but pause, and said in astonishment: "Sir, why are you here?"

Zhao Dezhao quickly pulled Wang Xiuzhi aside, told her the cause and effect in a low voice, and then whispered with a smile: "Lady, you know your brothers best, guess which one of your brothers will speak first Begging Brother Xing? If you guess correctly, you win."

"Is there a lottery if you win?"

"Have."
