Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

"The two generals Nian Zhongshi Dao and Zhongshi Zhong made great contributions and merits during the rebellion led by Cai Jing."

"The task of inspecting the residences of Cai Jing, Liang Zhongshu, Jia Jingzhong, Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City and others is now handed over to two veteran generals."

"In addition, the two veteran generals can also wait for the opportunity to go to the residences of Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan and others to conduct another inspection."

"Be sure to confirm that every gold and silver property in the above-mentioned officials' mansions must be returned to the treasury of our Great Song Dynasty."

Perhaps such matters were definitely a blessing for other officials of the Song Dynasty.

But for the two old generals of the Zhong family, they really didn't want to do this kind of civil service work.

So he said on the spot:

"For officials, for such a position, it might be more appropriate for Su Taiwei and others to do it."

"Since we, the old ministers, are leading military generals, we should take over the military power as soon as possible, so that it will be safer to defend the enemy outside the country."

"But I don't know what the official means..."

But after Zhao Ji heard this, he waved to Zhong Shidao and Zhong Shidao:

"Right now, our Song Dynasty army has just experienced a counter-insurgency war, and all the soldiers and generals under our command are very tired."

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to delegate the recruitment affairs at Ping'an Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan together."

"It can be thought that the soldiers and horses in those two places played a huge role in countering the rebellion and suffered heavy casualties."

"So, I have no choice but to put these things down for the time being."

"This matter of confiscation of homes is something new to you two veteran generals."

“But you have to give it a try.”

"Okay, this matter is settled, let's dismiss the court."

……

Zhong Sijin led the servants in the mansion and had just finished cleaning the entire Zhong mansion.

Then he saw his father walking in from the door dejectedly.

With a chill in his heart, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Father, you..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Could it be that that little bastard Zhao Ji is reprimanding his father in the court again?"

After Zhong Shidao heard this, he immediately glared at Zhong Sijin helplessly:

"Xiao Jin, if such remarks are listened to by those who are interested, and then make arguments about right and wrong in front of all the civil and military officials in the court."

"Then our family will definitely be in constant trouble!"

"Before this, my father has told you many times, can't you change it?"

The kind-like little mouth pouts:

"But, but, he is obviously very bad!"

"Not only to my sister and father, but also to me..."

The look on Master Zhong's face was suddenly startled.

Then he quickly asked:

"What happened to you girl?"

"Say it."

The look on this brocade-like face is slightly rosy:

"And he always talks dirty to me."

"He is always teasing me, which only makes me feel ashamed and angry."

Master Zhong smiled helplessly:

"Although it is true that he is an official on the surface, privately, he is also your brother-in-law."

"Isn't it normal for my brother-in-law to joke around with a girl like you?"

"What's more, the closer the official family is to you two sisters, the better news it will be for our entire Zhong family."

Zhong Sijin pouted her little mouth:

"understood."

"But father, why are you so depressed after going to court today?"

"Is it possible, is it possible that that boy..."

"No, is it possible that the official family has made everything difficult for you, father?"

Master Zhong sighed leisurely, and then pointed towards the door of the main hall, signaling Zhong Sijin to go back to the hall with him.

When the two came to the hall, Zhong Shidao first took off his official robe under the service of the servant.

Then he went to the main seat in the main hall and sat down.

At this time, Zhong Sijin also sat next to her father very obediently.

Two big, watery eyes stared at his father without blinking:

"Father, tell me, what is it that makes father so embarrassed?"

Teacher Zhong sighed helplessly:

"It's difficult to say it's difficult, but it's not necessarily so."

"It's just that, as a father, I really don't want to do it."

"My father is worried. If I do those things for a long time, I am afraid that in the future, the officials will no longer let my father lead troops."

"Our family is full of loyal people. Ever since our ancestors, we have always been made to be military generals."

"It would be awkward if I suddenly let my father do the civil service work with your uncle."

Zhong Sijin’s beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and her big eyes suddenly lit up:

"Do you want to do the civil service work?"

"Is it possible? Is it possible that after Cai Jing's downfall, the officials no longer trust others to appoint others?"

"So you want your father to take the post of Grand Master directly?"

"If this is true, it will be a really happy event for our family."

"Although my father may no longer be able to lead troops from now on, the position of Grand Master is really about being in the court and looking over the world."

"Below one person and above ten thousand people, he is the official with the real power of the dynasty."

"In this way, isn't it much more comfortable than being a general in command?"

Zhong Shidao looked at his extremely innocent little daughter with a helpless expression.

After staring blankly for a long time, he sighed quietly:

"Xiao Jin, your idea is really strange."

"Although now, almost all Cai Jing and his gang members have been cleared from the court."

"But the position of Grand Master is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Although my father has been an official in the court for many years, most of the time he did the work of a military general."

"If at this time, the official family suddenly asks my father to be the head of the hundred officials, my father may not be able to do it."

The kind-like little mouth pouts:

"What's that?"

Master Zhong looked sadly at the poplar tree outside the courtyard that was frequently blown by the strong wind.

Only the leaves of the trees could be heard rustling:

"Right now, aren't Cai Jing and his gang members all under arrest?"

"So when I go to court today, the officials want my father to work with my uncle to ransack the house."

"The homes of Cai Jing, Liang Zhongshu, Jia Jingzhong, Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City, and the criminal officials such as Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, etc. who had already had records of confiscating their homes before that also need to be confiscated together with their father. once."

"This journey is about to be copied down, but I don't know how long it will take."

After Zhong Sijin heard this from his father, he immediately nodded thoughtfully:

"Father, perhaps the officials put father in charge of the house confiscation this time. In all likelihood, they wanted to use this matter to compensate father."

"After all, my father was humiliated and imprisoned before this, and was deprived of actual military power for so long."

"And in this attack and defense of Tokyo City, we also made a lot of contributions."

"But the officials are afraid that if they reward my father too much in public, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other ministers in the court."

"So I will take advantage of this incident to reward my father."
