All the Heavens Return

Fortunately for the former, the emperors of the seven dynasties of the Song Dynasty worked hard to govern and accumulated a rich family fortune.And the officials still maintain frugality after they take office? Naturally, they are not short of money.

However, there was something wrong with the subsequent rewards.Among them, the officers and soldiers of the borderlands were included? To praise their achievements in defending their homes and the country.In particular, the Chong family, the Zhe family, and other military families in the northwest were specifically mentioned.

What is this for?Win over those vulgar warriors?The Taizu said, I will rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, is it not enough to have thousands of loyal disciples of the saints in the world to assist?

In the Yanhe Hall, at this time, Zhang Dun was standing respectfully in the center of the hall, waiting for the official's answer.Just now? He handed over the memorial jointly written by many officials above the court? The purpose was to persuade the officials to withdraw their orders.

However, Zhao Ji only briefly read his memorial, and then put it aside? He continued to be busy with other things, as if he had forgotten him.

Zhang Dun is really embarrassed? I don't know whether to speak up or not.I want to remind you, but I'm afraid of disturbing the other party.Moreover, after standing for such a long time, my legs trembled a little, and I couldn't hold on any longer.

"Officials and officials" finally couldn't bear it, and yelled a few words softly.But at this moment, Zhao Ji raised his head and asked in surprise:

"Why is the prime minister still here? Is there anything else going on?"

"" Zhang Dun couldn't help being a little stunned. There was obviously an important matter to discuss, and even handed over the memorial. Why didn't he accept it after reading it?

"The opening of the official family is about rewarding the frontier army. The birth of a dragon son by the official family is naturally blessed by heaven and it is worth celebrating. However, it is really against the rules to reward the frontier army just because of this matter. After all, the army The matter is of great importance, without meritorious service, how can you award it casually?"

"So that's how it is." Zhao Ji suddenly showed a look of surprise, but suddenly said again,

"Although what the prime minister said is true, there are some omissions. There are many strong neighbors on the border, such as Liao, Xixia, etc., all staring at our Song Dynasty, and harassment happens from time to time. If it weren't for these frontier soldiers not saying goodbye Hard work, desperate guarding, how can we keep this prosperous world?"

"The salary of eating the king, loyalty to the king and guarding the country is the duty of the warrior, why should there be a separate reward, isn't the reward and punishment unclear?"

"The prime minister's words are wrong." Zhao Ji's expression remained unchanged, and he asked,

"The empress gave birth to a dragon son, and there are successors in the country. Isn't this a major event that should be celebrated by the whole world? I am happy in my heart, and the reward to the world is also to let all my people in the Song Dynasty be able to share this joy. Is there anything wrong?

What's more, there are not only frontier soldiers in my list of rewards, but also various ministers in the court. Is there any place that is biased?Could it be that the prime minister thinks that the frontier army is not my Song Dynasty citizen? "

"The officials appease the anger, the minister has no such intention, just"

"Okay." Zhao Ji interrupted the other party directly,

"Since the imperial decree has been issued, it is a golden word, how can it be changed day and night? The prime minister doesn't want me to become a king who doesn't believe what he says?"

"I dare not." Zhang Dun opened his mouth, but finally stammered back.

For some reason, the emperor looked calm and easy-going, and his speech was even more unhurried, without any anger.However, when I met his eyes, I always felt inexplicably apprehensive in my heart, as if as long as I continued to fight hard, I would be lost forever.

"What's wrong with me, when did I become so timid as a mouse?"

I was tangled in my heart, as if I had knocked over the five-flavored bottle, and I didn't know what it was like?

"By the way, there is one more thing." Zhao Ji waved to the servant next to him, and ordered,

"Go and bring a chair for Zhang Xiang."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Zhang Dun is no longer young, and he really can't stand up.Hearing that the official gave him a seat, he was immediately grateful. It seemed that the official still cared about him.

After sitting down, he asked,

"I don't know what the official has to say?"

"It's about my brothers." Zhao Ji continued with a trace of melancholy on his face,

"To be honest, I had a strange dream yesterday, in which I saw my father. He specifically asked me to take good care of all the mothers, concubines and brothers in the palace."

"This..." Zhang Dun was taken aback. What did the officials suddenly mention about Emperor Shenzong?Is there any intention?

"Since the official took over the throne, no matter whether it is for the princes in the palace or outside the palace, they have been properly arranged. There is nothing wrong with it?"

Recommended, !

"What Zhang Xiang said is right, I really didn't treat them badly." Zhao Ji nodded, but suddenly changed the subject,

"However, my brothers are all talented people, and they are in their twenties. It's a waste of a mediocre life with only a lot of money."

"Could it be that the officials want to"

Zhang Dun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what the official meant.It is very likely that they want to increase the power of several princes.

In fact, several princes not only have princes, but also have official positions.However, in order to prevent him from developing unnecessary ambitions, all the assignments he gave were empty duties.

"It seems that you have thought of it too." Zhao Ji nodded,

"Although the father and the emperor have many children, most of them died young, and only a few are still alive today. As their elder brothers, I don't want to waste their talents, so I want to give them a chance to display them."

Hearing the official's affirmative answer, Zhang Dun frowned and remained silent.This is not a trivial matter, but a major event in changing the ancestral system.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu learned the lessons of the Zhou, Han, Tang and other powerful dynasties, so he took great precautions against the clan and attached great importance to it.Since then, he has tried his best to limit the development of the clan.

Later, in the Taizong Dynasty, because of the improper position, it became more and more strict.The sons of the clan were granted lofty vacancies and house land, but they were almost kept in captivity and were not allowed to participate in any government affairs.

Later, this policy was slightly changed due to the increasing number of clan descendants.However, the direction has not changed, and there is still no chance of making trouble.

This is not only the reason of the emperor, but also the needs of the minister group.After all, there are only so many official positions. If the clan's children are in positions, not to mention rebellion or not, they must be the first to lose their interests.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately got up and said:

"The official's family has reported, and the humble minister feels that this matter is absolutely impossible."

"Oh?" Zhao Ji murmured with his eyes narrowed,

"What's the reason? Or is it because Zhang Xiang thinks that my brothers are useless and deserve to be mediocre for a lifetime?"
