Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Palace.

The master here has been replaced by Zhao Ji, who is now in a yellow robe, has been worshiped by the ministers, and is the new official of the Great Song Empire.

But what should the officials do?

Zhao Ji didn't know, so he had to ask his dear stepmother Xiang. And Empress Dowager Xiang's answer is: The first thing to do as an official is to arrange a move......

This is important!

Well, doesn't the president of the United States have to move into the White House first?

Of course, to become a big Song official, you have to move into the palace before you can do it, how to do it outside the palace? So Zhao Ji's first task as an emperor was to move, and it was quite troublesome.

Because Zhao Ji is frivolous! The hobbies are too extensive, and there are a lot of good things in the palace, not only calligraphy, painting, and literary toys, but also many playthings such as famous horses, dogs, eagles, dogs, etc., and there are many women who can't see the light and can't enter the palace!

With so many good things and good people, it is impossible to move into the palace one by one. Otherwise, he would really become a frivolous faint king! Xiang Xiang, who knew Zhao Ji's temperament, took special care of Zhao Ji and asked Zhao Ji to deal with it properly.

But he was reluctant to abandon Zhao Ji completely. It must be arranged well, and it can't be handed over to the eunuchs in the palace to take care of it, so you have to let your henchmen do it.

Therefore, after being busy with the announcement (edict) (theoretically it is a testament, if there is none, it is the empress dowager's decree), mourning (issuing an obituary), and accepting a series of standard etiquette such as the enthronement of the important minister and the official advent of the dynasty. By the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanfu, it was almost evening, and Zhao Ji, who had already become an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was finally free to summon his henchmen in the Chongzheng Palace.

There are three enviable and jealous henchmen, namely Wu Haogu, Gao Yu, and Pan Xiao'an. The three henchmen who looked crying and laughing (now it is a national funeral, they should cry, but how can they cry when they become the henchmen of the new emperor), headed by Wu Haogu (he has the largest official rank), wearing their respective military attache clothes, standing in the hall, and bowing to the official Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji also changed into the red emperor's regular clothes at this time (according to the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty, the emperor only changed his mourning clothes three days after his death), sat on the throne with a sad face, and sighed in a low voice when he saw the three henchmen.

"I really didn't expect that I, my sixth brother, would die young and throw a pair of great Song Jiangshan to me. Now that I am no longer a happy prince, I can no longer be as usual as usual, but many things in the palace are hard-won and must be disposed of. I am now in turmoil, and I can't control it a lot, my wife (referring to Queen Wang, the official title of the prince of the Song Dynasty is Mrs.) is young, and she is pregnant, so she can't work. Therefore, it is up to Da Lang and Gao Yu to handle it as appropriate. ”

This is to help the emperor move and settle the mistress!

Although this job is not a serious dispatch, what can be done is definitely the henchman of the henchmen - the henchmen or something, and it may be a little disdainful for a righteous scholar, but Wu Haogu and Gao Yu are both military attachés. If a military attache can become the emperor's henchman, there is no doubt that he will be the future of the Sanya Army.

"Commandment."

"Commandment."

Wu Haogu and Gao Yu hurriedly received the will.

Zhao Ji then said to Pan Xiao'an: "Pan Shiyi, you are not an outsider to me, this time thanks to your escort and guarding the inner east gate, you have made a lot of contributions!" I have already told the Queen Mother that you will take over as the envoy of the prince's palace and work together with Dalang and Gao Yu. ”

The envoy of the prince's palace is an official who is in charge of the financial cashier of several princes' mansions and county palaces, and the purpose of Zhao Ji's arrangement of Pan Xiao'an to be this official is to end the small family of the prince's mansion - this small family not only has a lot of good things and good people, but also saves Zhao Ji's private money.

By the way, Zhao Ji now has a lot of private money! Most of them were obtained for him by Christie, who was a martial artist. The calligraphy and painting signed by Zhao Xiaoyi are very popular......

In addition, Zhao Ji's palace will also engage in some operations, such as renting out surplus houses and buying land for rent.

Now these private money and properties must be managed by someone, but they can't be handed over to Taifu Temple, otherwise it will be inconvenient when you want to be frivolous in the future.

Zhao Ji knew that Wu Haogu would go to Jiehe Commercial Market soon, so he asked Pan Xiao'an, a "banker", to also participate in the management of Duanwangfu's property and private money.

However, Zhao Ji is now an official, and every word and deed in the palace, especially in the Chongzheng Palace, will be recorded, and he is not as free as in the past. Therefore, I can only rely on the three henchmen of Wu Haogu, Gao Yu, and Pan Xiao'an to figure out the holy will.

……

The three confidants who received Zhao Ji's edict left the palace with envious eyes and sycophants, and it was already the thirteenth night of the first month of the third year of Yuan Fu. At this time, the obituary has not yet been announced, and the city of Kaifeng is still prosperous, with lights everywhere, and preparations are being made for the Shangyuan Festival the day after tomorrow.

Although Wu Haogu, Gao Yu and Pan Xiao'an all tossed for a day, they all seemed to be in good spirits at this time. They are now the henchmen and lackeys of the Great Song Dynasty! The glory and wealth are endless......

"Da Lang," after leaving the Donghua Gate, Pan Xiao'an, who was riding a horse, said to Wuhao Gudao, who was also riding a horse beside him, "You are the official among the three of us, and it is up to you how to arrange it next." ”

Wu Haogu hurriedly excused himself and said, "Brother Eleven, you are the oldest, so you should arrange it." Honestly, I'm at a loss right now. ”

Pan Xiao'an didn't make excuses, and thought for a while: "It's better to do this, the three of us will divide the work, and the private houses and properties in the palace will be managed by me and Dalang...... Brother Gao, do you think it's okay? ”

"Okay, okay." Gao Yu smiled, "I can't compare to you in charge of money and industry." ”

"It's really not easy to manage," Wu Haogu nodded and said, "The official family is a person with a temperament, and there will be no shortage of spending in the future, so we have to put more effort into it." ”

The emperor's family can't spend money casually! The money of Taifu Temple is watched by civil officials and courtiers, and it cannot be used casually. And the Empress Dowager Xiang is also a simple character, how can she let Zhao Jihua use it?

And Wu Haogu didn't want Zhao Ji to spend all the money in the treasury like in history, and he really wanted to fight Yanyun, but he didn't have any money?

In Wu Haogu's opinion, Zhao Ji actually didn't spend much...... I don't know if there is a small goal? The reason why it is so ugly is that the officials who manage the emperor's finances have no brains.

Isn't it just money! It shouldn't be a problem.

Gao Yu said at this time: "There are a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys in the palace, but in fact, some of them are fakes, and I don't know much about this, so I have to bother the big man." ”

"I'll go back and invite Mi Xiangyang to come." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Let him identify it, and then register them one by one, and then send them to the palace for collection." ”

This is actually a very good mission. Zhao Ji's collection of treasures Wu Haogu did not dare to move, but Zhao Ji's own things will be sold for hundreds of millions of them in later generations! It's worth it even now!

And Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting skills are also practiced by "spending countless papers", and these "waste papers" are all stored in the palace treasury! Wu Haogu took a part of it, who knows?

"In addition," Gao Yu lowered his voice, "there are many unknown women. Da Lang, this matter can only trouble you. ”

Zhao Ji has a lot of women, some of whom can see the light and can be brought into the palace to enjoy. But some can't be brought into the palace, such as Master Li, Xu Qiqi, etc., someone must deal with it.

And Wu Haogu is the first brother of the "entertainment circle" of Kaifeng Mansion, who will come forward if he doesn't come forward?

There are also some "good families" who can't be brought into the palace, they are too old...... Or something else. These martial artists also have to settle down, give things, give money, or give something else. It is not ruled out that Zhao Ji still wants to raise a foreign house, so whether these women can be dismissed is also a problem.

In short, there are many problems, even Gao Yu has no way to start, and only Wu Dalang is here.

"Brother Gao," Wu Haogu was also a little undecided, "I can really do this?" ”

"It's okay," Gao Yu said with a smile, "Can I still hurt you?" The women...... If you sleep, you won't be in trouble! It's not okay to replace me and Brother Eleven! ”

Gao Yu said that the world heard it incredible, but in fact, it was so! Zhao Ji's women are also divided into wives, concubines, concubines, concubines, and outer chambers. Of course, the wife and concubine Wu Haogu can't touch it, this is looking for death. But Ji and Ji are not necessarily.

Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji are friends, and it is common for friends to exchange "Ji" and "tricks". In history, Cai Jing's son Cai You also asked Zhao Ji for the beauty in the palace when he was in the Northern Expedition!

However, Wu Haogu shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Gao, he is now an official." ”

Gao Yu smiled and didn't say anything more about the topic.

Wu Haogu asked again at this time: "What should Ji Yi do?" He's still in the palace, right? What to do with him? ”

What he meant by asking this...... Is it possible for Ji Yi to be "suicide"? Ji Yi committed such a big sin, he didn't want to go in his conscience, he committed suicide, he died, it's nothing?

"This can't be done," Gao Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That Mrs. Wei's "Pen Array Diagram" hasn't been dedicated yet!" Mrs. Wei's true handiwork! There doesn't seem to be a ...... in the palace."

At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was still a little bit of Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting on the market, but Mrs. Wei's authentic handiwork was a legendary thing. Zhao Ji didn't know it, but now that he knows that there is such a baby, he will definitely want it. The tall henchman knew Zhao Ji's temperament, so he naturally had to let Ji Yi live.

And...... Ji Yi is rich, isn't Pingjiang Ji Bancheng? What a pity if you were killed?

"Then I can only spare him......" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Zhang Xianggong probably can't spare him, right?" ”

Pan Xiao'an interjected on the side: "Zhang Dian doesn't spare him, he has to look at this science and technology competition, if he can't get into the Jinshi...... Hehe, there is always a person who has been chasing after him since he was born, and Danzhou is waiting for him. If it's high school, I'm afraid I'll have to be an official with you and me in the future. ”
