Yue Fei did not wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival Yuetai Festival, so he returned directly, and returned early, because he had a more important task. Zhao Jiu needed him and his well-disciplined troops to ensure that post-war Jingdong did not lose order during the autumn harvest.

, it is even more necessary to have a proper person with absolute force support when Wan Qixi imitates the clearing of ownerless land in Guanzhong.

In particular, Zhang Jun, who had a poor reputation, actually controlled the east of Qingzhou after Li Qi led a small number of his followers to break through.

In fact, this grand festival is held after the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only because it needs to be grander and requires longer preparation time, but also because it is specifically dedicated to the autumn harvest.

After all, for an agricultural society, before the autumn harvest and after the autumn harvest, not to mention farming problems and busyness, even people's mental outlook is somewhat different.

Taking advantage of the blank period caused by the autumn harvest to hold major spiritual and cultural activities is a good way to build on the past and open up the future.

But to be honest, the ceremony had been lively and lively since the news broke out, but Zhao Jiu was not in the mood, because in essence, the things and words that carried forward the past and opened up the future seemed to have been completed as early as in Yaoshan and Shaoxing. After that, this time it was like a

To strengthen and promote activities, he is going to be a tool man.

Even some sonorous words and declarations seem to have lost their meaning... Times have changed, and Di Bao, which has mastered the partition printing technology, and its circulation is increasing day by day, now has a better declaration effect.

Ten thousand words spoken on the spot are not as useful as a serious official document stamped with his signature.

As for choosing temples and Taoist temples, Zhao Jiu was completely selfless. Except for the Mingdao Palace, he did not open any small temples for Buddhist and Taoist temples such as Shaolin Temple, Lingjiu Temple, Wuyue Temple, Xiangguo Temple, and Dongxiao Temple, which had made great contributions to the country.

, that is, "those who contribute more" go on, and "those who contribute less" get out.

Of course, these companies don't seem to be short of money.

And Zhao Guan's family has not been reduced to being as boring as a heartless machine. As the Mid-Autumn Festival comes day by day, he is still quite shocked by some things and some people... because some people and things are indeed beyond his imagination.

"The forty-seventh generation grandson of Kong Sheng, Kong Duanyou, Yan Shenggong; the forty-sixth generation grandson Kong Ruogu..." In the nameless stone pavilion, Zhao Jiu read these two names several times, put down the list, and then

It looked like a wooden duck and did not move for a long time.

At this time, on the stone table in front of him, there were several large books with similar lists. Opposite him were a minister, four ministers, a censor, Zhongcheng, and two ministers... two new ministers, the Ministry of Rites

Shangshu Zhai Ruwen and Shangshu Chen Gongfu, this matter happened to be within the scope of their powers and responsibilities. It can only be said that it was a coincidence.

As for outside the stone pavilion, several scholars from Yutang, Zhongshu Sheren, Lilang, Lan Gui from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan, the commander of the Imperial Ban, etc., were also divided into two and stood in front and behind.

To be honest, there are only four ministers missing, otherwise we can go directly to Wende Hall.

"Officials." Liu Ji, the deputy provincial minister sitting opposite, was in charge of this matter. He waited for a long time and saw that the officials were really stunned before he spoke seriously. "Is there any mistake or omission in the list?"

Zhao Guanjia took a breath, and even though he made some moves, he still had no words.

To be fair, Zhao Jiu never thought that the official Yan Shenghui would appear in this list, because this list is the second list of living 'honorable heroes', that is, a list of honorable men who maintained dignity during the Jingkang Revolution.

!This was specially organized by the provincial government and the Ministry of Rites based on the idea of ​​his official family.

And according to the ridiculous historical common sense of his Zhao Guan family's previous life, shouldn't the Yanshenggong family have always been soft-hearted traitors? Shouldn't they kneel down and lick every time there is a shadow of a change of dynasty? This Jin man attacked Jingdong in the first year of Jianyan's reign.

In the spring of the second year of Jianyan, he actually took control of the Shandong Peninsula, and established the Puppet Qi in the third year of Jianyan. The northernmost part of Yanzhou, where Qufu is located, has been an enemy-occupied area for a long time. There is no reason for Yan Shenggong to

Why don't you surrender to the Jin people and go along with the pseudo-Qi?

Moreover, he seems to remember very clearly that when Liu Yu was establishing the country, he went to Qufu to worship Kong, and then sent a memorial. For this reason, Zhao Jiu also committed evil for this body (Chen Dong and the Great Escape from Hebei

) for nothing and taking the blame that cannot be removed at all?

"How do I remember that Yan Shenggong accepted Puppet Qi as the orthodox one?" Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and asked seriously. "He also sent a proclamation to scold me."

The two parties involved, Liu Ji and the new Minister of Rites, Zhai Ruwen, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Liu Ji gave a serious answer: "The official, the one in Jinan is the fake Yan Shenggong, the real Yan Shenggong

There was nothing wrong with Kong Duanyou. On the contrary, in the winter of the first year of Jianyan and the beginning of the second year of Jianyan, when the Jin people invaded the south, he took the initiative to bring the "Kongmu Statue of Kong Sheng and Mrs. Yuan Guan" and the "Picture of Kong Sheng Sword"

(Wu Daozi's work)' and 'The Most Holy King Wenxuan's Temple Sacrifice Zhuyin' and other family heirloom treasures, led most of the people from the nearby tribes to go south, and then stayed in Yangzhou to wait for deployment."

Zhao Jiu was startled again: "The noble man who has been killed for five generations is the descendant of Confucius. These are forty-seven generations. They have been pampered for generations. They are born rich and glorious. How can they be so righteous?"

?”

This time it was Liu Ji's turn to be stunned. In fact, not only Liu Ji, but also the other prime ministers and two ministers were stunned... Because this is so ridiculous. If you follow this statement, your family will also be stunned.

You are eight generations old, so even if your father and brother are just "mere", why can you speak uprightly?

Of course, the only exception is Lu Gongxiang Lu Haowen, who never meant to be 'shocked' from the beginning to the end... He has been shocked for four or five years, and the shock department should close down.

"Official family, but the fact is that Duke Yan Sheng really went south carrying three treasures that looked like the tablets of Confucius. Everyone in the world knows about this." Sure enough, Li Guang, the censor Zhongcheng, couldn't hold back his temper.

"Furthermore, he has such a special status. Taking three sacred objects to the south with the Queen Mother of the official family and not leaving them with the Jin people is equivalent to observing the integrity and fulfilling his duties. And everyone in the world knows this truth...

Why should I pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

Zhao Jiu reacted and was embarrassed for a moment.

"Officials," seeing this, Zhai Ruwen came out to smooth things over. "Actually, there are indeed other explanations for this matter..."

"oh?"

"On the official list, in addition to Yan Shenggong himself, there is also a forty-sixth generation grandson of Kong Sheng, but it is Kong Ruogu, the father of Yan Shenggong Kong Duanyou... There are rumors that Kong Ruogu is the first force

Those who pushed Duke Yan Sheng to abandon his family temple in Qufu and follow the official family and the Queen Mother to the south. However, no matter what, Duke Yan’s observance of integrity is correct."

Zhao Jiu was completely speechless... Until now, he still didn't understand that he might have really met the weirdo of the Kong family. Or on the other hand, maybe it was because he was willing to keep his integrity and went south this time, another one

The talents left behind in time and space will develop the family tradition of drifting with the tide, and then the nine-pound old lady will become worse than the last.

In fact, following Zhai Ruwen's detailed introduction, Zhao Jiucai learned some more specific information:

For example, Kong Duanyou, Kong Ruogu's uncle and nephew went south and stayed in Qufu to guard the family temple. It was his younger brother Kong Duancao who was brought to Jinan by Liu Yu to control.

Later, after Qufu was recovered, Kong Duancao was detained by Liu Yu in Jinan. Kong Duanyou immediately sent his father Kong Ruogu back to take charge of the situation. Then after Yue Fei defeated Li Cheng, he personally took three holy objects and led his family to the north quickly.

return.

When he arrived in Qufu to join his father, he learned that his younger brother and Liu Yu had been kidnapped by Lu Bu and taken to Hebei. This contemporary Yan Shenggong quickly wrote to the capital to plead guilty for his younger brother, and pointed out that his younger brother was a left-behind family member.

The queen of the temple had no choice but to be kidnapped, hoping to be pardoned.

For this series of measures, it doesn't matter whether Kong Duanyou is the leader or his father Kong Ruogu is the leader, because anyone who faces the Kong family's performance during the Jingkang Kingdom to the present time has to admit that people do things well.

It must be clean, beautiful, upright, filial and affectionate, leaving people speechless.

The way this was done would have shamed a certain official who was sitting in the pavilion listening to the story.

In fact, even Zhao Jiu, who has been looking at the Yanshenggong family through colored glasses for nearly a thousand years, lamented that he had to personally approve the list of commendations for Kong Duanyou and Kong Ruogu's uncle and nephew after a long time, and then he still had to wait for a long time.

Kong pardoned Kong Duancao.

What can I say?

Can you still run out and complain, saying that it was a coincidence that you met an innocent Yan Shenggong? Do you dislike the Kong family for being righteous to the Zhao family?

You really don’t need to be embarrassed... Any fool can see that during the Jingkang incident, the Kong family has more dignity than the Zhao family!

"Kong is so outstanding and his family is so special, so we should focus on commending him." After Zhao Jiu signed the final signature on the thick roster, Official Lan stepped forward to stamp it. Taking this opportunity, this

The official thought for a while and then asked several important ministers in front of him. "But I saw that the province only gave Kong Duanyou a purple robe and Kong Ruogu Fei robe... Based on Kong's example, this reward is

Isn’t it a little too light?”

Liu Ji, who was in charge of this matter, nodded and said seriously: "To be honest with the officials, this matter has indeed been discussed and discussed by ministers. But now that the official position has been abolished and the national finances are simplified, there is really no way... We cannot let Yan

Will Shenggong go and find out about Qingzhou?"

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly and wanted to let this matter go.

However, when Zhao Guanjia brushed his fingers over another roster on the stone table in front of him, he suddenly remembered something, and then his heart moved slightly: "I remember when I just read the first booklet, we talked about Han Xiaozhou's reward?"

"Yes." Prime Minister Zhao Ding responded keenly across Liu Ji's interface. "Han Xiaozhou was originally Enyin's supplementary official and Chengfu Lang, and he was the secretary of Kaifeng Prefecture. He was given the same birth as Shangshe. In addition to Weiwei Shaoqing, he came out to know Jiang.

State affairs, he has a lot of qualifications. And with such qualifications, coupled with his mission to the Northern Kingdom to ask for the Second Saint, the Queen Mother, and his integrity that he never lost his integrity despite being detained by Nianhan, there should be a worthy reward.

Only by convincing people. However..."

"However, with this background, qualifications, integrity and merit, unless he is given the position of Prime Minister, it will never be appropriate." Zhao Jiu understood. "But how can it be possible to let him be the Prime Minister? And there are some words, although you have not yet

I said, but I know in my heart that this person has a background that is unmatched by others. He was able to wear a purple robe while serving as an official in Kaifeng Mansion, and became a young minister in one leap. His subsequent missions can be regarded as

Opportunistic...Besides, I have also met this person and know that he is an honest and incompetent person, and it is impossible for him to be entrusted with important military and national responsibilities."

Zhai Ruwen couldn't help but coughed dryly, as if he was not used to the directness of Zhao Guan's family, but he knew that the others were silent, and it was obvious that Zhao Guan's family was talking about something serious.

"So we have to think of a way to treat Han Xiaozhou and Kong's uncle and nephew as serious people. They should be given some explanations, but they cannot be given a serious place to go." Zhao Jiu finally said what he said.

Meaning. "I just thought of it... aren't the official positions gradually becoming more and more consistent with the real ones? Only the title of Secret Pavilion is an additional status, so why not give them an explanation like giving the status of attending the Secret Pavilion?"

"The officials are talking about building a false secret pavilion?" Zhang Jun, the prime minister, immediately woke up and couldn't help blurting out. "For example, use the empty old Shangshu Provincial Courtyard outside Xuande Tower to build an external pavilion?"

"Although it is outside the palace wall, the outer pavilion is too ugly." Zhao Jiu shook his head repeatedly. "How about using the name Gongge? Let them be like a secret pavilion, meeting once every twenty days, and record and archive it in the name of Gongge.

Write a letter to me, and allow them to participate in the imperial meeting, and when the Imperial Academy discusses politics, they may sit next to me..."

"But if you can only hear the big meeting, what can you say in the palace?" Zhao Ding already felt that it was feasible, but he still felt a little hasty and embarrassing... It was too confusing, and Han Xiaozhou was originally

You can now be a prime minister. It’s quite hard for Yanshenggong to run around with two wooden statues in his house, isn’t it?

Besides, there are quite a lot of people around.

"Include the hosts and guests who are coming this time, and talk about sacrifices and blessings?" Zhao Jiu continued to talk tentatively. "Include some more prestigious clans, and discuss the ritual system and the inheritance of titles?

Let the two heads of state go in and talk about road construction in Tokyo city? And how to divide the houses in Jingyuan? When will the Cuju League start? The Confucians can also go in to promote the original learning and discuss Neo-Confucianism? In winter too

Can we discuss how to relieve the poor? You can talk about anything. Anyway, you will send it to me here in the end. I will take a look when I have time. If I don’t have time, just send it to the province... How about?"

Zhao Ding was embarrassed to nod, but seeing the looks on his face, as well as the other ministers and two ministers looking at each other, he seemed to agree with it in his heart.
To be continued...
