Chapter One Hundred Shots (End)
Privy Council.
Because Zhao Puren was in the Privy Council, the Privy Council has now become the real decision-making office of the Song Dynasty, "in charge of military and national security, military defense, border preparation, military orders, and secret orders for the cashiers to govern the country."
Zhao Pu sat calmly on the chair, and his subordinates reported all kinds of affairs across the country one by one, and then conveyed one by one instructions easily. The efficiency was so high that it could blind people's eyes.
The people in the Privy Council obviously have no longer been surprised by this. Zhao Pu is simply a monster. After something has passed, his mind has become reliable and meticulous, so he naturally becomes more respectful to this Shangguan.
"I'll discuss today's matter. Let's go and go to work hard. The Bank and Taiwan Department has paid attention to it recently. Meng Chang has not been very honest in recent days. Maybe he wants to make a large-scale border and prepare money and food."
"yes."
Everyone dispersed as they said, and Zhao Pu stretched his waist, planning to go home and have a good sleep. Recently, he married a concubine from the ninth room. The little fairy was very good at kung fu. He felt that his old waist was almost exhausted.
"Sir, sir? Please stay."
Zhao Pu turned around and found that it was a little baby of eight or nine years old who called him, which made him frown slightly. The entire Privy Council was so big that he was naturally Sun Yue, who was newly-examination in Tongju this year. It is said that he is very smart, but Zhao Pu doesn't like him very much. In his opinion, the so-called Tongju or genius is all about it. The so-called Tongju or genius is all about it. The governance of the world depends on solid experience and experience. If such a little baby comes to a place like the Privy Council, isn't this causing trouble? You can become an official by reading a few broken books? Zhao Pu claims to be a half of the Analects of Confucius, but who can play with these so-called talented scholars in the officialdom?
He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Sir, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you can take a step to speak?"
Zhao Pu's eyebrows became deeper when he heard this. This is also the reason why he doesn't like those so-called geniuses. He is used to being smooth sailing along the way. Sometimes he is unrestrained and cannot tell how much he is. Do you really think that he is a genius and others have to spoil you?
"No, I'm very busy."
Zhao Pu turned around and left, without giving him any face, and he didn't think that this little doll could really have anything important.
But when he saw Sun Yue was not annoyed, he shouted at Zhao Pu's back: "Sir, are the melon seeds delicious?"
Zhao Pu suddenly turned around, his eyes showed murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
Sun Yue was calm and still maintained a polite posture and said, "Sir, are the melon seeds delicious?"
Zhao Pu's heart sank upon hearing this and said, "Come with me."
The so-called melon seeds here are naturally not melon seeds that are really used for eating, but rather melon seeds made of pure gold, produced in Wuyue.
In today's world, the power of the Song Dynasty to unify the country is already very obvious. Except for Meng Chang from Later Shu, he couldn't see the situation clearly and jumped out from time to time, clamoring for the northern expedition of the Central Plains and treating himself as Liu Bei, the other princes all relied on the Song Dynasty and wanted the Song Dynasty to attack others first instead of attacking themselves first, so they paid tribute to the Song Dynasty every year.
What is more amazing is that this tribute was Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu Zhang Xiaokou. In addition to tribute to the Song Dynasty, the rulers of various countries had to list a separate piece and privately pay Zhao Pu. Among them, the tribute to Wu Yue Kingdom was golden melon seeds. According to the original history, Zhao Kuangyin would not discover it until three years after Kaibao.
This is no longer a matter of greed. Zhao Pu was greedy for money, and Zhao Kuangyin naturally knew that he was a pragmatic man. The country was in trouble at the beginning and his ability was much more important than morality. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin could tolerate his greed, but you were even greedy for foreign money, which was a bit unreasonable. To put it bluntly, this is called connecting with the enemy country, which is already a bit touching Zhao Kuangyin's bottom line.
Therefore, Zhao Pu was suddenly revealed such a secret matter, and he was really panicked for a moment.
Taking Sun Yue to a quiet room, waved his hand and let everyone else go out. Zhao Pu sat on the chair, and said in a weird tone: "What do you want to say to me."
"Sir, I want to give this gift to you."
"Oh? What kind of gift is it."
"I heard that the official family is dissatisfied with the year name and wants to change the year name next year. I also asked you to help him choose one. No one has ever used it since ancient times. Is this a matter?"
Zhao Pu said: "But this happened."
"Dare you ask me, what you think of is a virtue?"
"Oh? You guy, the news is so vivid. It's good, it's just a destiny."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "The kindness of God and the virtue of the emperor are indeed a good meaning. Lord, the lower official has a bronze mirror, and I want to give it to the Lord."
As he said that, Sun Yue really took out a mirror from his arms, a simple and distinctive mirror.
Zhao Pu couldn't help but suspicious, but took the mirror and looked carefully. Looking at the front, the mirror was really ordinary. I guess even their servants were unwilling to use it. However, as soon as he turned to the back, Zhao Pu said, and threw away the bronze mirror.
I saw that the back of the bronze mirror read: "The fourth year of Gande is in the fourth year."
"This... where did this get the mirror?"
"Sir Hui, this is a bronze mirror from Shu. Gan De was once the year name used by Wang Yan, the ruler of the former Shu. It has been used for six years. You should prepare early and think about how to persuade the officials to change the year name."
After hearing this, Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel a chill. It would be fine if anyone had used the New Year name a thousand eight hundred years ago. Qian Shu! It had just been destroyed for more than 30 years. If Zhao Kuangyin really used the word Gande as the New Year name, what a joke would it be?
It is not that important to be embarrassed or not. Zhao Kuangyin is a pragmatic but not innocent person, but this year's title reveals how ignorant he is, the prime minister? How ignorant? Can such an ignorant but ignorant person still sit in the position of prime minister?
Fortunately, if it weren't for this mirror, he might have really been cold. Fortunately, everything is still early and there is still a chance to repair the problem.
"Thank you for the gift you gave me. I like it very much. Do you have anything to ask for?"
"Before tomorrow, the adults should receive a letter written by Shi Shouxin to you. I hope this letter can appear in front of the official family."
Zhao Pu looked at Sun Yue meaningfully, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Young people are so terrifying, go ahead, I promise you."
"Yes, Lord Xie."
"Wait a minute."
"What are the instructions for the sir?"
"How did you know about melon seeds?"
"Oh, I learned it from your brother-in-law. As for how to know, I think it doesn't matter."
"Well... do you have a grudge against him?"
"Become enemies."
"Okay, I get it, I'll find out."
"Sir."
