The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Zhao Zhuo's ability to return the Tiger Talisman at least proves that Zhao Zhuo is not attached to military power. This person can be reused. However, it is stated in the brochure that General Zhao has not been in the capital for many years because his mother is old. The capital is filial to the mother, the relationship between mother and child, the righteousness of filial piety, the reason why General Zhao asked to stay in the capital is irrefutable."

Dacheng has emphasized filial piety since ancient times. If a courtier does not even have the most basic filial piety, then this courtier must not be reused.But a courtier proposed to stay with his mother to fulfill his filial piety. Whether the emperor approves this matter or not, this issue must be carefully considered.

It's about to be approved, who will be the coach of the Northwest Frontier Pass?Looking at the whole Dacheng, he was too young and had no experience and prestige. He hastily transferred someone there. He didn't know the situation in the northwest, and he couldn't find someone like Zhao Zhuo who could be the commander of the Northwest Army.

But if it is not approved, Zhao Zhuo has followed his father to the border since he was young, and he has been there for most of his life. His mother, wife and children are all here in the capital.Now that Zhao Zhuo's hair on his temples has turned white, this veteran has spent most of his life at the Northwest Border Pass. Now that he proposes to return to the capital, Yang Shaomu really can't bear to refuse, so for a while, the emperor's heart is also taken aback. It is not allowed to approve or not to approve this paper.

"Your majesty, what I said can only be used as your reference, and I cannot make decisions for you." Fu Yihan could see the distress of the emperor, so he suggested, "Your majesty, why don't you call General Zhao into the palace and have a good discussion. , Ask General Zhao for his opinion and

idea.

What's more, General Zhao knew the situation at the border. He also knew in his heart who his soldiers were and who could be of great use, so he might as well ask General Zhao for his opinion first. "

That's all I can do to help you, and you can only rely on yourself for the rest. Prime Minister Fu also has a little selfishness in his heart.But how to decide on this matter, the person who finally decides should be the Son of Heaven, whether he can make the Son of Heaven nod, depends on Zhao Zhuo's own ability.

But from the perspective of the country's righteousness, if the emperor took this opportunity to take back the tiger charm and take charge of the 30 army in the northwest, it would be all right.But the Son of Heaven is in the imperial city, so it is impossible to go to the border to command the army in person, so there must be a commander in charge of the military power. This person is not the Zhao family, but it may be the Zhang family of the Wang family. Such a person must be selected.

The Zhao family is loyal to the emperor, and they are people who can be appointed by the emperor. It is better than randomly calling an unfamiliar person to take charge of the army.In addition to Zhao Zhuo, the Zhao family also included Zhao Silang, Zhao Hao, Zhao Liulang, Zhao Xian, and Zhao Xiangyi, the son of Zhao Zhuo.Zhao Xiangyi has just been promoted to General Jinwu and has taken up the post of commander of the Jingwei. Seeing that the emperor means to keep people around for appointment, he probably would not want to transfer Zhao Xiangyi to the border.

Then only Zhao Silang, Zhao Hao and Zhao Liulang and Zhao Xian are left in the Zhao family. These two were brought out by the old general Zhao. They have been at the border for so many years and know the situation at the border, but the only The downside is that these two are too young, and I am afraid that they do not have enough experience and qualifications to be the coach.

But in this way, the Tiger Talisman was transferred out of the hands of the Zhao family and returned to the hands of the Zhao family.

Fu Yihan knew that the emperor wanted to control the military power, and if he could take this opportunity to take the military power from the Zhao family, he knew that the emperor would be moved.

"What the prime minister said is, come and tell General Zhao Zhuo to enter the palace." The emperor ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch took the order and sent someone to invite General Zhao into the palace.

The decree from the palace was passed to the General Zhen Guo’s residence. Zhao Si knew that his elder brother handed over the tiger amulet and asked to stay in the capital. When he heard the news from the emperor that his elder brother entered the palace, it must be for this reason, "Second brother, I Come in with you."

"That's fine, let's go together." Zhao Zhuo changed into an official uniform, and brought people into the palace to meet the emperor.

On this day, the emperor passed on the words of General Zhao Zhuo who had entered the palace for a long time. The emperor did not immediately agree to Zhao Zhuo's request to stay in the capital, but asked Zhao Zhuo to go back and think about it. He was not in a hurry to do so. make a decision.Zhao Zhuo understood what the Son of Heaven meant, and just answered "Yes."

Soon, the officials in the DPRK knew that General Zhao Zhuo had handed over the Tiger Talisman and proposed to stay in the capital.That is the military power of the 30 army in the northwest. No one thought that General Zhao Zhuo would hand over the tiger charm to the emperor.

Not long ago, people were still speculating that the Zhao family was favored by the emperor, Zhao Zhuo held the military power, and his son Zhao Xiangyi was promoted to the commander of the Jingwei. Sure enough, the emperor treated the Zhao family differently.Didn't expect General Zhao to hand over the tiger amulet to the emperor as soon as he turned around?If it were any one of them, who would be willing to give up such a great power.

For a while, there were people who said anything in the capital. Some people praised General Zhao Zhuo for not loving power and being a loyal and filial person, but some people said that General Zhao was a fool behind his back.In short, the mouth grows on other people, and there are people who say anything.

Before this, Li Wen hadn't heard any rumors, and he was stunned when he first heard the news, but then he could understand the reason why General Zhao did this.But if this is the case, his master must go back to the border?

When Zhao Xiangyi came over in the evening, Li Wen asked, "Has your father really decided to stay in the capital?"

"Looking at what he means, he probably wants to stay here in the capital." Zhao Xiangyi didn't know about his father's decision beforehand, and his father approached him to discuss this matter after he had written a note and submitted it.He said, "I heard from my father before that he was reluctant to let mother stay here alone in the capital to wait for him. Grandmother's health has not been very good these years, presumably my father is also because of grandma."

"Oh." Li Wen remembered that he said not long ago that if this person goes to the border, he will definitely not stay here in the capital and wait. No matter where he goes, he must be together, "Where is the emperor?" What do you mean?" he asked.

"I just came out from the emperor." Zhao Xiangyi sat down on the chair, pinched a grape, peeled it, and put it in the boy's mouth. The boy's lips accidentally touched his finger.

The eyes of the two people met, Li Wen smiled and asked, "What did the emperor say?"

Now the imperial court strongly supports the development of commerce and trade, coupled with the re-opening of the water transport, and the bandits in various places have been wiped out, and the land transport is much safer, and the melons and fruits from other places can be transported to the capital soon.Many fresh goods have been shipped to the capital, and they can also taste

fresh.

"The emperor has not yet reached a conclusion." Zhao Xiangyi continued to peel the grapes for the young man, but his peeling speed was not as fast as the young man could eat.Li Wen pinched a grape and put it into the man's mouth, nodded, and said, "So it's up to Uncle? If Uncle insists on staying here in the capital, the emperor will approve it." Abe stay here?"

Zhao Xiangyi nodded, seeing that the young man had eaten a lot of grapes, he stopped and stopped peeling the young man, and said, "Let's eat the rest tomorrow." It's too late now, eat too much for a while I had to roll around on the bed again and couldn't fall asleep.

The two discussed this matter for a while, and according to the emperor's intention, this matter has not been settled.

The next day was going to court, and they got up early in the morning. As soon as Li Liuyuan went out, he met General Zhao Xiao who also happened to be out, and the two went to court together.Anyway, they are now living in two neighboring prefectures, and if they meet together to go to the morning court when they go out in the morning, it will not arouse any suspicion from others.

Now it is the morning court once every three days, which is much more efficient than the morning court that was held every day in the past. If you have something to say, just stand below and keep quiet.

A very simple sentence is that the Son of Heaven does not want to see the officials below treat the Jinluan Hall as a vegetable market. It has nothing to do with the court. Some trivial and insignificant matters should be quarreled with below. Don't talk about it in the court all day long. , wasting everyone's time

between.

Officials who want to behave improperly in the court will be dealt with by the officials of the Ministry of Rites according to the etiquette in front of the palace.

After the introduction of such a policy, these officials must first consider carefully before submitting the paper, whether the paper can be submitted, whether the situation of the paper is true, and whether it should be submitted.In the past, some officials always liked to impeach others randomly in the hall without any evidence. These officials were all punished by the emperor without exception.

But if the content of the minister's impeachment report is found to be true after the truth is found out, the impeached officials will be punished as guilty.

Within a short period of time since the new emperor ascended the throne, these methods and methods of handling things have made the officials of the pragmatic faction in the DPRK and China very fond of them.But precisely because of this, a group of officials in the DPRK who talked and acted exaggeratedly were demoted or transferred away, and those who could stay and be promoted and reused by the emperor were pragmatic and truly capable officials.

In the early court today, some ministers mentioned General Zhao Zhuo’s proposal to stay in the capital. The officials were divided into two factions. One group thought that Zhao’s mother was old and General Zhao wanted to stay in front of her to fulfill his filial piety. As children, they can all understand; but one faction, from the perspective of the country's righteousness, believes that General Zhao should devote himself to Dacheng and die.

Zhao Zhuo has such a violent temper, and when he heard these officials standing and talking without pain in his back, he couldn't help jumping out.

No!Zhao Si made a timely move and pulled his elder brother. It is not suitable for them to jump out at this time. How to deal with this matter should depend on the emperor's will.

"..." Li asked, standing below and listening to these words, he was really speechless.

"I have made up my mind on this matter." The emperor's meaning is very clear, what should be done, he already has an idea in his heart, "My dear friends, if you have nothing else to do, today's morning court will end here gone."

"If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court—"

All the officials knelt down and shouted "long live", and the emperor left with his people.
