Chapter 201: I will reuse those who are available among the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion

Zhao Ji has decided that the official positions vacated by the begging, fleeing, and surrendering faction members who have been demoted or exiled must be filled by the loyal ministers of the main war faction that I know. Zhao Ji already has suitable candidates in mind.

List.

Zhao Ji, a time traveler who is a top student in the history department, certainly knows that in the second year of Baoqing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1226 AD), Song Lizong ordered the painter to paint portraits of the twenty-four heroes from the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and hung them in Zhaoxun Pavilion.

middle.

The twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion are:

Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai,

Pan Mei, Li Hang, Wang Dan, Li Jilong,

Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi,

Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan,

Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun,

Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Bi, Zhao Ruyu.

Although, the title of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion may not necessarily convince future generations.

For example, the famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun is missing, Wang Anshi who carried out the reform is missing, Li Gang who fought in the first defense battle of Tokyo is missing, Zongze, the Confucian general who stayed behind in Tokyo to resist the Jin Dynasty after the Jingkang Revolution, and Yue Fei who served the country loyally are missing

Waiting for those virtuous ministers and generals who can help the Song Dynasty to collapse.

However, those who can be included in the list of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion can be said to be loyal ministers and good generals who have made great contributions to the country and the country during the hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Zhao Ji also knows that the heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Hang, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, and Sima

Guang, Han Zhongyan,

These sixteen heroes are no longer alive.

Among them, the oldest deceased was Zhao Pu, the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty who passed away in 992 AD. Zhao Pu, the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, claimed to have read half of the Analects and ruled the world.

Among them, the latest to pass away in the second year of Xuanhe this year was Han Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who passed away in September 1109 AD. It has been eleven years since his death.

Among the remaining eight heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, there are Ge Bi, who will be born in eleven years, and Zhao Ruyu, who will be born in twenty years. Of course, Zhao Ji cannot use them now.

However, Shi Hao, who was born in the fifth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty (1106 AD), is only fourteen years old this year and cannot serve the country for the time being.

Chen Kangbo, who is twenty-three years old this year, is still studying. He will have to wait until next year in a few months, which is the third year of Xuanhe, when the triennial imperial examination is held. According to historical development, he will be admitted to the Jinshi Ranking.

, and then rose up in the official career...

I cannot reuse Chen Kangbo who is preparing for the imperial examination for the time being.

I want to provide a good environment for fair competition for scholars all over the world, and I am not in a hurry to use Chen Kangbo who is preparing for the imperial examination.

In his mind, Zhao Ji was sifting through the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion to see which ones were available now. The only ones left were Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun, who were already in officialdom and were still alive and well.

.

Han Shizhong performed extremely bravely in the battle against Fangla. He has been put into great use in the army by me, and I have given him the power to privately recruit soldiers and generals and train them strictly.

Among the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, in addition to Han Shizhong who has been promoted and reused, there are still three people who are alive and have become officials and can be reused immediately, namely Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Jun.

Lu Yihao is forty-one years old this year. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Shaosheng (1094) of Zhezong Dynasty of Song Dynasty. He first served as Mizhou Sihu and joined the army. Later, he was recommended by Li Qingchen as a professor in Binzhou. Now he is a transfer envoy to Hebei Capital.

Zhao Ji announced at the court meeting:

"Diaohe~Beidu transfer envoy Lu Yihao returned to Beijing and took over as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, the officials were shocked. Especially the two ministers of the Ministry of official affairs. They originally thought that after Zhao Ye, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, was exiled to the distant Danzhou by Zhao Guan's family for his crime,

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been vacant, and the opportunity has come for me to change from deputy to official Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

However, they never expected that Zhao Guanjia actually recalled Lu Yihao to the capital and asked him to take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel...

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, transfer and other matters of officials across the country.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, as the highest official of the Ministry of Personnel, has great power.

Only when Zhao Ji puts Lu Yihao, one of the future twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, in this important position can he rest assured!

Zhao Ji knew that Lu Yihao was recorded in history books. He grew up in the northwest and was proficient in military affairs. In response to the imperial edict, he reported war and defense strategies, and his plans were quite complete. When Xuanhe conquered the Liao Dynasty, Lu Yihao reported the Five Critical Issues in Hebei and asked the Speaker to discuss it for a long time.

Ce, for a while he called this statement "cut and straight"...

General Guo Yaoshi, who had earlier rebelled against Liao and surrendered to Song, rebelled against Song again and surrendered to Jin in the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125 AD). Therefore, Guo Yaoshi, who served in three dynasties (equivalent to a domestic slave with three surnames), escorted Lu Yihao to Jin.

military.

Afterwards, Lu Yihao was taken captive to the Kingdom of Jin. He was unyielding and never surrendered to the golden chariot, showing his loyalty.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang (1126), Lu Yihao was released by the Jin Kingdom and returned to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty...

Later, during the rebellion of Miao Liu and Liu Zhengyan, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was forced to abdicate. Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and other generals led the army to Qinwang, quelled the rebellion of Miao Liu and welcomed the restoration of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, which made great contributions.

Therefore, Lu Yihao was first worshiped as Shangshu Right Pushe, and then moved to Zuopushe again...

However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that even Lu Yihao, one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, was not a perfect person.

It is recorded in the history books: When Lu Yihao was prime minister, he was domineering and overbearing, and tried to exclude Li Gang, Li Guang and others; in order to meet military needs, he also created monthly stakes, which made the people in the southeast a heavy burden...

And Zhao Ji felt that it was okay for a loyal minister like Lu Yihao, who was not a perfect person, to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at the time of employment, but just don't let him become the prime minister in the future.

What's more, by re-employing Lu Yihao, I can also check and balance the possible monopoly power of Li Gang, who will be promoted to prime minister in the future.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Isn’t it the art of controlling people that the emperor plays by allowing his ministers to check and balance each other?

After Zhao Ji promoted Lu Yihao to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, seeing that no one in the civil and military officials dared to object, he issued another decree:

"I summon Zhao Ding, the magistrate of Anyi County in Jiezhou, to return to the capital and assume the position of Minister of Household Affairs."

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were shocked and looked suspicious...

They didn't dare to utter a word of rebuttal, just because they didn't dare to contradict the Zhao Guan family who had a huge change of heart and a completely different employment style.

However, all the ministers were secretly thinking: Why is Zhao Ding, a small county magistrate, so highly regarded by Zhao Guan's family? Being promoted from a small county magistrate to the acting minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is almost a step up to the sky!

Even many of the officials who attended the court meeting did not know that there was a county magistrate named Zhao Ding in Anyi County, Jiezhou!

However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that among the famous officials in the early Southern Song Dynasty recorded in history books, Zhao Ding's name was included.

Zhao Ding was not only one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, he was also known as the four officials of the Southern Song Dynasty together with Li Gang, Hu Quan and Li Guang.

This year (the second year of Xuanhe), Zhao Ding is thirty-five years old. He is from Yuan Town and Wenxi County, Jiezhou.

Zhao Ding lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother Fan. He studied poetry and books diligently since he was a child, and his writing was good and his writing was smooth and natural.

As early as fourteen years ago, Zhao Ding, who was only 21 years old, passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Chongning (1106 AD) and entered the official career...

Because Zhao Ding was an upright official and did not like to curry favor with the powerful, therefore, with the qualifications of being a Jinshi, he was only a small seventh-grade county magistrate in the fourteen years after he entered the official career.

However, Zhao Ji, who is familiar with the history of the two Song Dynasties, will never let his virtuous and loyal ministers be buried in my dynasty.

Of course, gold always shines.

The history books read by Zhao Ji record that after crossing to the south, Zhao Ding began to rise in his official career.

After crossing south, Zhao Ding was promoted to Quan (acting) Hubu Yuan Wai Lang.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty worshiped Zhao Ding as the imperial censor Zhongcheng. In the following year, he was appointed as a Privy Council member, and soon he was successively appointed as the prefect of Jiankang and the prefect of Hongzhou.

During the Shaoxing period, Zhao Ding served as prime minister twice, serving as Shangshu Zuopushe, Tongzhongshu Menxiapingzhangshi, and serving as Privy Council envoy.

Zhao Ding once recommended Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other well-known generals to effectively assist the Southern Song Dynasty court in organizing military forces to resist the Jin army's invasion southward.

When Zhao Ding was the prime minister, he praised Luo Xue, "valuing people's livelihood and restraining military commanders, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could consolidate its roots and stabilize the country." This consolidated the political power of the Southern Song Dynasty and enabled the rapid development of social economy in the Southern Song Dynasty. People's lives were prosperous and the government was clear and clear.

During this period when he was the prime minister, he was praised as "Xiao Yuanyou"...

Zhao Ding strongly opposed negotiating peace with Jin. Therefore, he was framed by the peacemaker Qin Hui and was forced to resign. He served as the prefect of Shaoxing and the prefect of Quanzhou. He was immediately exiled to the Xinghua Army, moved to Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, and then to Ji.

Yang Jun.

In the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), Zhao Ding was seriously framed by Qin Hui again...

Therefore, Zhao Ding went on a hunger strike to show his loyalty to Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, and to fight against the crimes framed by Qin Hui.

Before Zhao Ding died, he wrote an inscription on his tombstone:

"Returning to the sky riding on Jiwei, making mountains and rivers strong with strength..."

Zhao Ding used this to express that even after his death, he will never forget the Song Dynasty, let alone the great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty and saving the country!"

In August of the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), Zhao Ding died at the age of sixty-three after going on a hunger strike for several days.

After Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he posthumously awarded Zhao Ding the title of Grand Tutor, Feng Guogong, and the posthumous title of "Zhongjian".

In the fifteenth year of Chunxi (i.e. 1188 AD), Zhao Ding was allowed to enjoy the temple court of Emperor Gaozong.

Zhao Ding is also one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion.

Zhao Ji also remembered the "History of the Song Dynasty" that he had read before traveling through time, and what was recorded in it was:

"(Zhao) Ding is the famous prime minister of Nandu, and he is as famous as Li Gang. His poem "The Qing Dynasty just arrived, and it is an outstanding famous master"..."

Zhao Ji secretly thought: After I summoned Zhao Ding, the magistrate of Anyi County in Jiezhou (later Shanxi region), to return to Beijing and appointed him as the Minister of Household Affairs, after my observation and assessment,
