The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 427

At the beginning, Zhao Ji humiliated Concubine Liu Gui for the sake of Master Li, this stupefied young man almost went to make a big fuss in Zhaixing Tower, but fortunately Yang Lin and Yang Jian stopped him.

Concubine Liu Gui has such a younger brother, she really committed eight lifetimes of evil

When he arrived at Yang Lin's place, he didn't look at it that way. How could Liu Qingshui take the initiative to make an appointment? He is not someone who sells his sister for glory.Yang Lin knows this brother best, if anyone insults his sister, he doesn't care what your status is.

In the current situation, there is only one possibility, and this must be the concubine Liu Gui who asked him to come.

Be good, I, Yang Lin, have you really reached this point?Even concubine Liu Gui and other immortals will inevitably fall?It's too real, isn't it?

Yang Lin was so nervous that he rubbed his hands, and asked tentatively, "Is this what the imperial concubine said?"

Liu Qingshui blushed and said angrily, "Are you still a man? It's up to others to decide?"

Yang Lin quickly promised: "No, no, Qing Shui, you are right, alas, I am just too indecisive. Don't worry, I understand."

Liu Qingshui was extremely embarrassed, and thought to himself, Sister, Sister, I can only help you so far, such a shameful thing, this is only once in this life, I'm going to fight it out.It's hard to find a second brother like this in the world, right?

"I'll hold a banquet tomorrow, you just have to come to the banquet, and I'll arrange the rest." Liu Qingshui left Zhaodefang as if fleeing after saying this.

Inside Zhaode Square, a coquettish voice came from Yang Lin who was extremely happy.

"Sister Lin fell from the sky, like a light cloud just coming out of Xiuxiu, demure like a flower shining on water, and moving like the wind blowing willows. It is clear that there is a foreigner in front of her eyes, but she is like an old friend in her heart. Hey, we ordinary people, today is really true. Happy!"

Chapter 5 and Four

Yang Lin happily returned to the inner courtyard, suddenly thinking of himself like this, how can he meet people?

With a red nose, it's embarrassing to play the role of a clown.Moving to the front of the bronze mirror, although it has become much lighter, it is still somewhat unsightly.

Seeing him sighing in front of the mirror behind him, Zheng Yunyao covered her mouth and snickered, walked quietly behind him, and gently shook Yang Lin's shoulders: "Officials sigh, but sometimes they feel sorry for themselves in the mirror."

Because in the back house, Zheng Yunyao was dressed casually, with only a cardigan of the same color over a goose yellow satin tube top. Yang Lin sat there, looking at the two hemispherical snow balls from the mirror. Greasy and plump, I can't help but feel dry mouth.

Seeing her husband's appearance in the mirror, Zheng Yunyao twisted her waist triumphantly: "Does it look good?"

Yang Lin said in his heart that good-looking is good-looking, and he has already got it, so he can play however he wants, no matter how he can compare to Concubine Liu Gui.He coughed dryly, and argued, "You don't understand me, so how do you know my depression? Am I sighing for myself? I am sighing for the people of Jingchu. The local government wrote that there is no snow in Jingchu in the middle of winter, and spring is about to sow seeds. The crops are short of water, and there are many pests, and the people are suffering."

Zheng Yunyao reached out and hit him, angrily said: "Just pretend."

Yang Lin laughed a few times in embarrassment, at this moment Jin'er's voice came from outside: "Young master, the official Yang from the palace is here, saying that he has something urgent to see the young master."

When Yang Lin heard it, he secretly cried out that it was broken, and he agreed to go to the forbidden center to appease the officials and let him be the emperor well, how could he forget this matter?

Standing up in a hurry, he said anxiously, "Hurry up, change into my official robes quickly, our officials are probably going to pick someone up again."

In the flower hall, Yang Jian anxiously turned around like an ant on a hot pot.

From time to time, he looked in the direction of the inner courtyard, and finally saw Yang Lin running out while wearing a belt.

"Oh, brother, you're finally here, hurry up and go to the palace to have a look." Yang Jian clapped his hands and said, "Our official family wants a Zen seat all the time."

People in the old Zhao family really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. The emperor has only been in office for half a year, so why can't he think about it, what kind of Zen position.

The two got into the carriage and ran all the way to the forbidden area. The guards recognized Yang Jian's carriage, so naturally no one stopped them.

After getting off the car, he walked into Yanfu Palace and heard Zhao Si's voice from a long distance away.

Yang Lin straightened his clothes, entered the hall, clasped his fists and said, "My subject Yang Lin, I have seen the official family."

Zhao Si raised his head, with a gleam of joy on his face, and said, "Yang Aiqing came just in time. You helped me to make this throne. Now that I want the Zen throne, you should also take care of it."

Yang Lin's face darkened, and he said sternly: "What did the officials say? Your throne is the one that everyone expects and is supported by all the people in the world. This minister is just one of thousands of people."

"I was originally an idle prince, what merits did I have for the common people, and I was really troubled to accept the high position for no reason." Zhao Si had two lines of clear tears on his face, and when he got emotional, he burst into tears.

Seeing that it was all right, Yang Lin quickly waved his hand to signal the eunuch Gong'e to step back.

After the people had left, Yang Lin stepped forward gently and asked, "Guanjia, there are no outsiders in the palace at this time. Who is it like you who has been slandering you? Don't be afraid of the officials. I and Yang Daguan will swear to be loyal to the officials even to the death." Family, forgive those young people who are not very capable of making trouble."

Zhao Si looked around and said, "Aiqing, save me, the servants in this palace often talk behind their backs, talking about the kindness of the old emperor brother. My virtue is weak but I have a high position, and I often dream of the emperor at night. Brother, just say that he has been killed, and he sternly demands his life."

After listening, Yang Lin supported Zhao Si's shoulders, and said: "Don't worry about the officials, I will dismiss all the servants in the palace and let the Ministry of Rites choose someone to enter the palace again. Your Majesty can also issue an order to present female officials to neighboring countries. As for the emperor, he is practicing Taoism on the Duiyu Tower, if the officials feel uneasy, I can take your majesty to visit. As long as the emperor nods, we can see you today."

Zhao Si's crying gradually subsided, he hesitated to speak, Yang Lin thought to himself that you are really scared.You don't have the guts anymore, isn't it just Zhao Ji, and you are not a replacement like Zhao Kuangyin, what can Zhao Ji do after he goes down.He also won the hearts of these servants in the palace. Do you think he is the hope of the people in the world? The world has been suffering for a long time.

Yang Lin lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Officials, let me say a word of cruelty, you are in Zen, and the emperor is back in power, and we are all finished. At that time, it is not the ghosts in the dream who will seek their lives. It's Nan Ya's swordsman."

Zhao Si trembled in fright, stroked Yang Lin's hand, and said: "Aiqing will start as soon as possible to replace the servants in the forbidden house, so that I won't hear about the old palace affairs again."

"Officials rest assured"

After leaving Yanfu Hall in the forbidden center, Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Yang Jian and said, "I think we really have to start replacing the servants in the forbidden center, otherwise the officials will always hear about the emperor, and they have to be afraid."

Yang Jian was very contemptuous in his heart, the emperor was so cowardly, even if he let you take charge of the government, he would be pinched by those civil servants in three to five days, you are not as good as your brother.

As the two of them walked, they discussed the matter of the newly elected servants in the palace. At this time, many people wanted to enter the palace.Many of the court ladies in the Song Dynasty came in through the back door, after all, the court ladies also have ranks.In the Song Dynasty, female officials had a relatively high rank and high salary, while eunuchs generally had a relatively low rank, but their salaries were better.According to regulations, eunuchs in the Song Dynasty could marry wives and concubines to organize family life.

The Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs will recruit palace servants from the private sector every few years. Those who are willing can sign up and enter the palace after being selected. However, there are quotas for the internal court recruitment, which depends on the number of vacancies.

Eunuchs are also officials, not to mention that the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty have indeed become prominent in recent years, and Liang Shicheng is one of the best.Therefore, those who are poor and unable to survive, or who want to fight for success, have high hopes for being selected into the palace to change their lives. This matter cannot be stopped from the palace. Enthusiasm moved, increasing some places is also a drop in the bucket.

Some of them self-harmed and were not selected to enter the palace, and they were eagerly waiting for a place there.Zhao Ji is generous and charismatic in the ban. He is very much supported and loved by these maids, so he has to change.Otherwise, it is inevitable that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come forward and overturn Zhao Ji's case in the future, and he will be ruined.

You know, Zhao Ji's life is hard enough, he can live for so long in Wuguo City, not to mention the delicious food and drink in Duiyu Tower, he can't live to eighty or ninety.

"Let the Ministry of Zhongshu issue an order to Goryeo, Japan, Tianzhu, and Bagan that each country send a hundred virgins to the palace to serve the officials."

Yang Jian nodded. Over the past few years, through the continuous efforts of the younger brother in front of him, the number of vassal states in the Song Dynasty has become less and less, and they have all been merged into the country.

Yang Lin's heart moved suddenly, and he said, "I will also make one for Khitan, Jiaozhi and Jurchen."

Chapter 5 Traitors are Thieves

Let's not talk about Khitan, it is a big country on the same level as the Song Dynasty in the traditional sense. Now that it is down and down, it asks others for a maid, isn't it just a bully.

As for Jurchen and Jiaozhi, they are fighting now, it is simply disgusting, Yang Jian shook his finger and pointed at Yang Lin, smiling without saying a word.

Yang Lin didn't take it seriously at all, and continued: "In the end, I want to send these old palace people clean, so as not to cause trouble again. The official family has finally stabilized, and we can't let them make trouble again."

Yang Jian nodded, determined to have a big purge from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these maids will not worry about getting married after they go out.

Even if it is a middle-aged mistress, there are folks who are crazy about pursuing her, after all, they have served the emperor.In this era, a little bit of royal atmosphere is a great thing, as is the case with objects and people.

After leaving the forbidden area, Yang Lin said goodbye to Yang Jian and came to the Ming Hall along the way.

Chief Prime Minister Zhang Shangying sat in the hall to handle political affairs. Zhang Gong was over sixty years old. Although he was born with a nose job and a broad face, his torso was plump and his chest was full of three beautiful beards, he looked very desolate.But after all, he was old, and he was a little tired after handling government affairs. After Yang Lin came in, he bowed his waist and cupped his fists slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang."

"Yuan, you came at a good time. Uncle Zhang wrote a letter saying that someone from Zhejiang and Zhejiang colluded with the Li Dynasty to transport food and supplies by sea, via the Champa people, to Shenglong City."
