Zhao Xu took out the list sent by Guo Zhongxiao, looked at it, and asked, "Zhang Wen, the newly eliminated minister of the capital,..."

"Who is this man?"

This is really Zhao Xu's knowledge blind spot.

Not familiar with it at all!

However, Mr. Lu gave him a very high evaluation in his letter - those who know the country and use economics in the world are less than ten fingers, so I ask you one of them!

Lu Gongzhu would not easily comment on a person like this.

But the problem is that Zhao Xu had never heard of such a minister in his previous life!

Wang Zishao did a lot of homework - people who are good at upward management are all detailed maniacs.

So, he just recalled it a little and said, "I know that your Majesty, the new ministers who were asked by the capital are old ministers!"

"What is this minister's birthday this year?" Zhao Xu became curious.

“Seventy-five!”

Zhao Xu's eyebrows jumped, "A minister of such an old age?"

What is Mr. Lu doing?

You should know that Zhao Xu has been promoting the improvement and perfection of the system of resignation of ministers.

At present, except for some exceptions and special circumstances.

All the civil and military officials over the age of 70 and who still occupy the pits and do not leave are being optimized.

Zhao Xu would rather spend more money and give these people more resignation treatment.

We must also resolutely clear them out!

To this end, Zhao Xu specially set a benchmark in the edict of the heroes of the first month of this year - posthumously named Wang Yanchao as the Prince of Fengxiang, posthumously named Taifu and Shangshu Ling. At the same time, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to select two people from Wang Yanchao's direct descendants, and Enyin was lent to the third rank.

The reason is in addition to the clichéd "I miss my ancestors and heroes."

The key point is that the prince Fengxiang was very wise and loyal to the country. He was the first to be reborn in the seventy years of his reign. I highly praised him.

Zhao Xu made it clear that logic is that, in theory, it is impossible for anyone to risk being convicted and push a 75-year-old official to the court, and it is also a very critical position in the position of the in-service officer.

In other words, Zhao Xu's patience has always been very good, otherwise, if he had changed to an emperor, he would probably be cursing at this moment.

Then he listened calmly to Wang Zishao's introduction to the resume of this minister who was praised by Lu Gong.

"I asked, I was born in Maocaiyi, a subject in the second year of Kangding, Renmiao..."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows.

A science and technology!

In the 150 years of the Song Dynasty, if Zhao Xu remembered correctly, he only conducted about 18 subjects.

The number of qualified people passing each subject test is in single digits, and most of the time there is only one qualified person.

The total number of qualified qualifications in the past 150 years will not exceed 30.

Among them, Zhang Fangping, the current veteran and the governor of the Zhangde Army, occupied two places alone.

He has successively won the subjects of Yicai Mao and other subjects and the virtuous and upright and upright advice.

Therefore, the value of the sciences in the Song Dynasty is unquestionable!

This Zhang Wen can emerge from the system, which can explain a lot of things in itself.

The second year of Kangding was about forty-five years.

In other words, he was a thirty-year-old in the field of discipline!

In that year, it should be an absolute future star, and a choice for the priest.

so……

How did he play himself until he was seventy-five years old? He has not yet reached the level of waiting?

You should know that in Zhao Xu's impression, basically all Jinshi in the category of the rank of Jinshi will be guaranteed to be four-year-old!

He listened to Wang Zishao's introduction: "He was later awarded the title of the magistrate of Daming Mansion, and was promoted to the Hebei Criminal Prison for his political achievements, and was transferred to the Jianghuai East Road Transport Envoy..."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he interrupted Wang Zishao: "Stop talking about his resume..."

"Tell me about this person!"

Wang Zishao raised his head and looked at Zhao Xu inside the curtain.

Zhao Xu looked at him and understood in his heart that this Yanei Zao and the outstanding people he had met in modern times who had one thing in common - they all like to pretend to be stupid in front of their leaders.

At least it is just a fake dullness.

They use this method to show their harmlessness.

At the same time, it also pleases the people above.

So, Zhao Xu said directly: "Where did this minister come from? What do you have any suggestions? What have you done?"

Wang Zishao immediately said, "Promise!"

He began to introduce it in detail to Zhao Xu based on his understanding and understanding: "I told you to know Your Majesty, and I asked you to know what I know. I asked you to be a native of Xiangzhou, Jinghu North Road. He started his career in Yanzhou. He once gave you the title of the Tuanlian envoy of Chengzhou Tuanlian to the Shoufu as an opportunity... Beloved by Zong Gong, Mr. Zong once gave you ten acres of land in Ruzhou to thank him. I asked you firmly and refused, and he praised it by the scholars and thought it was a wise man!"

Zhao Xu listened, but narrowed his eyes.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many factions of civil officials and sects, and these people repeatedly jumped, and almost no one would stay in a certain faction or support a certain proposition for a long time.

Typically, it is a debate between the Huihe faction and the opposition to the Huihe faction.

Many of the members in this big debate have changed their positions more than once.

The latest situation is that the faction against Huihe and the victory is complete.

Because Zhao Xu didn't want to go back to the river.

Therefore, inside and outside the court, the country, were saying that it was not necessarily useful to go back to the river and waste people and money.

But there is one thing that most scholars cannot change.

That is the background they started with and their origins dyed them.

The so-called starting point and origin was a concept that only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

This is a by-product of the official system under the imperial examination system.

As the name suggests, starting a family refers to the place where he first entered the officialdom, and his origin was the way he entered the officialdom.

These things will follow an official's life and become the entry barrier for some circles.

Like this Zhang Wen, he was born as a Jinshi in the statutory course.

This is the highest point of the contempt chain!

He can overlook and despise all other literati from origins.

The place where Zhang Wen started his business was in Yanzhou in the northwest.

This is the background of the Western Army!

and……

Therefore, I was given the title of Mr. Zhong from the Chengzhou Tuanlian Envoy?

Zhao Xu asked, "But the one who is famous for Shiheng?"

"Your Majesty is not better than the Holy Majesty!"

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands.

Zhong Shiheng's shogunate's writing is right!

As the founder of the Zhong Family Army, the Zhong Family Generals is one of the largest hills in the Western Army!

The only one who can match it is the Zhe family in the prefecture.

Seeing that Zhao Xu seemed very interested in this, Wang Zishao immediately said: "Your Majesty, because my knowledge, I have given the sons of Chengzhou Tuanlian envoys, such as Gu, Yi, etc., to this day, still respect the ministers and nephews with their respects..."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded.

I knew in my heart that Zhang Wen was probably the spokesperson and allies of the Zhong family in the court.

so……

Is this the reason why he has been wasting his time and has not been able to advance to the rank of the system?

Because of a taboo?

Zhao Xu immediately denied this speculation in his heart.

Because, among the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty, some were stupid, some were bad, and even some were stupid and bad.

However, the class stance and class awareness of these people are unmistakable.

Even the later small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was at its end of its reach.

There are still thousands of scholars and officials willingly jumped into the sea with the little emperor.
