Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 98

Privy Council.

Because Zhao Pu was in the Privy Council, the Privy Council today has become the real decision-making office of the Song Dynasty, "in charge of military and state affairs, military defense, border preparations, military and horse orders, cashier secret orders, and governing the country."

Zhao Pu sat on the chair with a calm expression, and his subordinates reported the big and small affairs of all parts of the country one by one, and then conveyed the instructions one by one with ease.

And everyone in the Privy Council obviously got used to this, this Zhao Pu was simply a monster, once something happened in his mind, he became reliable and careful, naturally he became more respectful to this Shangguan.

"This is the end of today's discussion. Let's disperse and go about your own business. The Banking Department has recently paid attention to the fact that Meng Chang has not been very honest in recent times. He may have to patrol the borders on a large scale and prepare money and food."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed as he was told, and Zhao Pu also stretched himself, planning to go home and have a good sleep. Recently, he married a concubine from the ninth room. The little goblin was very good at martial arts. He felt that his waist was fast. Squeezed dry.

"My lord, my lord? My lord, please stay."

Zhao Pu turned around and found that it was an eight or nine-year-old boy who stopped him, which made him frowned slightly. Of course, only Sun Yue who passed the Tong Juxin examination this year was the only one who was so small in the entire Privy Council. It is said that he is very smart. But Zhao Pu doesn't like him very much. In his opinion, the so-called Tong Ju or genius are all bullshit. Governing the world depends on solid experience and experience. Such a little baby comes to a place like the Privy Council , Isn't this adding to the chaos, you can become an official after reading a few broken books?He, Zhao Pu, claims to rule the world with half of the Analects of Confucius, but among the so-called talented scholars in the officialdom, who can beat him?

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"My lord, I have something I want to discuss with my lord. I wonder if my lord can take a moment to speak?"

Zhao Pu frowned even more when he heard this. This is also the reason why he doesn't like those so-called geniuses. He got used to the smooth sailing along the way, so it's inevitable that sometimes he doesn't know how to handle himself. Do I have to get used to you?

"No, I'm busy."

Zhao Pu turned around and left without giving any face, and he didn't think this little baby could really have anything important.

However, Sun Yue was not annoyed, but shouted at Zhao Pu's back: "My lord, are the melon seeds delicious?"

Zhao Pu turned around abruptly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

Sun Yue didn't panic, and still kept his salute posture, and said, "My lord, are the melon seeds delicious?"

Zhao Pu's heart sank when he heard this and said, "Follow me."

The so-called melon seeds here are naturally not real melon seeds for eating, but a kind of melon seeds made of pure gold, produced in Wuyue.

In today's world, it is obvious that the Great Song Dynasty is dominating the country. Except for Meng Chang of Houshu who still can't see the situation clearly, jumping out from time to time, clamoring nonsense like the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and treating himself as Liu Bei, The rest of the princes all looked up to Da Song, hoping that Da Song would beat others first instead of beating himself first, so they paid tribute to Da Song every year.

What is more amazing is that Zhao Kuangyin opened his big mouth and Zhao Pu opened his small mouth for this tribute. In addition to paying tribute to the Song Dynasty, the princes of various countries had to list a separate tribute to Zhao Pu's private tribute. Among them, Wuyue Kingdom paid tribute. It is golden melon seeds. According to the original history, Zhao Kuangyin would not discover them until three years after opening the treasure.

This is no longer a matter of greed. Zhao Pu is greedy for money and Zhao Kuangyin naturally knows it. He is a pragmatist. The country has just been established and a thousand things are waiting for prosperity. Ability is far more important than morality, so Zhao Kuangyin can tolerate his greed, but you can't even foreign countries. The money is also greedy, which is a bit unreasonable. To put it bluntly, this is called collaborating with the enemy, which has already touched Zhao Kuangyin's bottom line.

Because of this, Zhao Pu felt a little flustered when he was told such secret things out of nowhere.

Bringing Sun Yue to a quiet room, and waving his hand to let everyone else out, Zhao Pu sat on a chair and said in a rather strange tone: "What do you want to say to me."

"My lord, I have a gift that I want to give my lord."

"Oh? What kind of gift."

"I heard that the officials are dissatisfied with the reign name. They want to change the reign name next year, and I asked you to help him choose a reign name that has never been used since ancient times. Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Pu said: "But there is such a thing."

"Dare to ask my lord, is it Gande who came up with it?"

"Oh? You boy, the news is really good. Yes, it is Gande."

Sun Yue said with a smile: "God's grace, the emperor's virtue, it really has a good meaning. My lord, I have a bronze mirror that I want to give to my lord."

Saying that, Sun Yue really took out a mirror from his bosom, a plain and undistinguished mirror.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but be suspicious, but he still took the mirror and looked at it carefully. Looking at the front, this mirror was really ordinary, and probably even their servants would not want to use it. But when he turned to the back, Zhao Pu made a sound and missed it. Throw away the bronze mirror.

I saw impressively written on the back of the bronze mirror: Qiande four years.

"Where... where did you get this mirror?"

"Returning to my lord, this is a bronze mirror from the middle of Shu. Qiande was once the year name used by Wang Yan, the former and later lord of Shu. It has been used for six years. My lord still needs to make preparations early and think about how to persuade the officials. Change the year name."

After Zhao Pu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If only someone had used the year name thousands of 800 years ago, that's all, Qianshu!It has just been destroyed for more than 30 years. If Zhao Kuangyin really used the word "Qiande" as his year name, what a joke it would be?
It is not that important to be ashamed or not. Zhao Kuangyin is a pragmatic rather than unrealistic person, but this year name reveals how ignorant he is as a prime minister?How ignorant?Can such an ignorant and ignorant person still sit in the position of prime minister?

Fortunately, if it weren't for this mirror, he might really be dying. Fortunately, it's still early, and there is still a chance to make up for it.

"Thank you for the gift. I like it very much. Is there anything you want to ask for?"

"Before tomorrow, my lord should have received a letter from Shi Shouxin. I hope that this letter can appear in front of the officials."

Zhao Pu gave Sun Yue a meaningful look, and couldn't help admiring: "Young people are awesome, go, I promise you."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

"Wait a minute."

"Is there any other order, sir?"

"How do you know about melon seeds?"

"Oh, I learned it from your brother-in-law. As for how I know it, I don't think it's important."

"Well... you have a grudge against him?"

"Turn against each other."

"Okay, I see, I will find out about this matter."

"Farewell, my lord."
