The next day, Zhao Dongting passed the decree to Zongzheng Temple, and officially planned to enter the harem.

Because Zhang Ru looks like a fairy, such as a deep valley orchid, Zongzheng Temple asked Zhang Ru to be a concubine, and Zhao Dongting agreed. He also asked Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and officially canonized Zhang Ruru as a concubine.

When Yang Shufei learned the news, she was overjoyed. Although the Manchu officials were surprised, they were all delighted.

After the emperor had a concubine, he never had an heir, and now he has a concubine, maybe he can give birth to an heir. At that time, the imperial court will be truly stable.

There were 800 miles to be sent to Jingzhou on Jinghu North Road to convey the news to Zhang Jue, the deputy military commander.

From then on, Zhang Jue can be more expensive than ever. At that time, you will be the ruler of the country, and you can be said to be the top figure in the court and the country.

Zhao Dongting himself seemed to be indifferent to this, but after the early dynasty dispersed, he went to the palace to accompany Ying'er and Zhang Ru.

Ying'er smiled brightly, and Zhang Ru's face turned crimson.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must have been Ying'er's ghost idea last night, but of course, it must have been Zhang Ru's own willingness.

Zhao Dongting walked to Ying'er's side, and whispered in his ear: "You Nizi, look at how your husband will clean you up tonight." ”

Ying'er rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you should clean up Sister Zhang Ru, the concubine has been ...... for a few days."

Zhao Dongting finally understood why Ying'er suddenly asked Zhang Ru to replace her last night, and she couldn't cry or laugh at the time.

In the dormitory, she accompanied Ying'er and Zhang Ru to talk to her two daughters, and Ying'er took Zhang Ru to the bedroom to talk privately. Zhao Dongting announced the great eunuch Wu Lianying.

Wu Lianying is the director of the Military Intelligence Department, and his position is different from that of ordinary eunuchs, his official rank is not high, but he is just like an envoy who enters the internal service province, and he is an official from the fifth rank, but the real power is obviously terrifying.

When Wu Lianying, who was covered with a little cold breath, arrived in the courtyard of Zhao Dongting's dormitory, he immediately knelt on the ground, "The old slave knocks on the emperor." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Dongting's expression was quite indifferent, "Do you know what I announced why you came?" ”

Wu Lianying raised her head slightly, "The emperor is for the secret letter from Yongzhou, right?" ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, "What do you explain?" ”

Wu Lianying was not panicked, obviously had a countermeasure in his heart, took out a letter from his sleeve robe, presented it to Zhao Dongting, and said: "The matter in Yongzhou is a bit intriguing, the old slave is afraid that the news will leak, so he took it upon himself not to submit the detailed information to the emperor, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”

Zhao Dongting took the letter, of course he wouldn't punish Wu Lianying like this, he just opened the letter and looked at it. Then, in an instant, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

This secret letter is different from the secret letter transmitted by the Guangwang Mansion, and there is a detailed description of the hijacking of the Guangwang by the Western Xia masters. It is undoubtedly passed on from Wu Lianying's visit in the Guangwang Mansion.

"Two True Martial Realm masters, four Shangyuan Realm masters."

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, "King Guang actually raises a peerless demon like Xie Lisan in the mansion?" ”

He hadn't met Xie Lisan, but he was no stranger to the reputation of this demon. The guy who has disappeared for so many years can still be ranked in the position of Tanhua on the master list, which shows how deep his strength is.

Zhao Dongting understands that Wu Lianying just said that this matter is quite strange, probably what he said is Xie Lisan as Zhao? m Servants.

Zhao? There is nothing wrong with M recruiting a big devil like Xie Lisan, but what is inappropriate is that after recruiting such a big devil, he did not pass on half of the news to the imperial court.

The little breath released in this is inevitably a little intriguing.

Zhao Dongting has always been not too close to this half-brother, and it is inevitable that there will be some drumming in his heart, and he asked Wu Lianying in a deep voice: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

He didn't say anything more about Wu Lianying's withholding of the information and not passing it on, obviously he didn't plan to pursue it anymore. The matter of Xie Lisan is indeed not suitable for publicity.

Wu Lianying lowered her head again, her voice was sharp and soft, "The old slave doesn't dare to speak falsely." ”

Zhao Dongting snorted softly: "If I ask you to say it, you will just say it." ”

Wu Lianying stopped prevaricating and said: "The old slave thinks that His Royal Highness King Guang recruited Xie Lisan and did not report, perhaps because he was afraid of causing the emperor to be unhappy. After all, although Xie Lisan is extremely powerful, he is also notorious, and he is regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by countless martial artists in the rivers and lakes, especially Buddhism, who regards it as a great disaster. If it is spread out that our court recruits him, his reputation in the court will be adversely affected. ”

Zhao Dongting rubbed his eyebrows, "You mean that King Guang is afraid of attracting criticism to me?" ”

Wu Lianying just lowered her head slightly.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "You go down!" You should know what to do next. King Guang is my younger brother and the only prince in the court, and I don't want him to encounter such danger again, and I don't want to see the King Guang brothers cannibalistic. You understand? ”

"The old slave knows."

Wu Lianying answered, stood up, and slowly withdrew from the courtyard with a bow. It wasn't until outside the courtyard that he straightened up and walked to the Military Intelligence Department.

Zhao Dongting sat under the old camphor tree in the courtyard and needed several people to hug him, and muttered to himself, "Please seal Yongzhou and recruit the devil......

His face wasn't too pretty.

But in the end, there is still no conclusion in my heart.

Zhao? Although these two actions are somewhat intriguing, they are reasonable when examined in detail. What was in his heart, Zhao Dongting undoubtedly couldn't figure it out.

After being in a daze for a long time, Zhao Dongting ordered the eunuchs waiting in the courtyard again, and said, "Go to Wuding Hall and get up the Lord Zhu and the two sons of his family." ”

A little eunuch whispered and agreed, and took the order to leave.

After about dozens of minutes, the little eunuch took Zhu Zongyao, Zhu Hecong, and Zhu Haiwang to the courtyard.

All three fell to their knees.

Zhao Dongting asked the three of them to get up, and when he saw that the two sons and brothers of the Zhu family had a look of anticipation in their eyes that could not be concealed, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

If you don't want to be an official, you are destined not to be a successful official. He liked the momentum of the two sons of the Zhu family and their stubbornness to enter the court as officials.

Although these two people have not been officials in the court, they have read poetry and books and cultivated them, and they may be able to become the pillars of the court in the future.

Although the emperors of previous dynasties tried their best to avoid letting a certain family or faction sit on the throne and be favored alone, Zhao Dongting obviously didn't care about this.

As long as he has the ability, it doesn't matter which family member he is, what if everyone in the family is a member of the court?

What he wants is for the now gloomy Great Song Dynasty to have a grand occasion of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending soon.

After the three of them got up, Zhao Dongting smiled lightly: "Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang, I will first let the two of you make a small yellow door in the inner service province, and polish ink for me in the imperial study, are you two willing?" ”

Xiaohuangmen is actually a eunuch errand, but he is also the person who can get closest to the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a close minister of the emperor.

In the past, it was not that no one in the Song Dynasty entered the inner province with a complete body, so Zhao Dongting's approach was not considered a pioneering record.

When Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang heard Zhao Dongting's words, they were slightly stunned at first, and then they both showed surprise, and then knelt on the ground, "Emperor Xie." ”

Although Xiao Huangmen is just an official with no quality or rank, but to be able to serve the emperor, after a few years, wouldn't it be a sure thing to take up a real position?

It can be said that this post is the envy of many descendants of officials in the DPRK and China, as well as countless scholars in Shilin.

You must know that the prime minister is a third-grade official in front of the door!

However, as a father, Zhu Zongyao was a little uncertain, "Your Majesty, these two boys in my family don't understand the rules, isn't it ...... for Cheng Xiaohuangmen to polish ink for you in the imperial study?"

Zhao Dongting just waved his hand, "What rules do you want for ink grinding?" ”

He said bluntly: "I know that the two sons are both talented people who are full of poetry and books, and have a reputation in Shilin. Let the two sons enter the inner service province, there are two exquisite ones, and there is also the meaning of wanting to mention the two. In the future, if it can be of great use, I will not hesitate to send the two sons to serve in the real power department of the DPRK and China, but if the two sons can only read, then they will obediently grind ink for me in the imperial study. So you don't need to worry about Hall Master Zhu, the two sons are doing well or not doing well, I am just considering, and I will not be dissatisfied because of this. ”

Although his words are not very good, they can be said to be from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhu Zongyao was surprised that the emperor would be so heartfelt, and he was a little moved at the moment, and arched his hand: "Zhu Zongyao, thank you to the emperor." ”

Then he didn't forget to say to his two sons: "The emperor gives you a chance, you don't want to disappoint the emperor." ”

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang were already so frightened by this day that their heads were a little numb, and they just nodded again and again.

In this way, the two sons of the Zhu family became the little yellow door of the imperial study. There is no rank, but it can be expected to be hot in the court.
