In the Hall of Heroes.
[Ding-dong. Qi Jiguang has killed 50,000 Liao soldiers. System Points increased by 1,000. The host's Experience Points increased by two levels.]”
[Ding-dong. Capture Ye Lui Dashi alive. The host's System Points have increased by 200. Summoning mode activated.]”
[Ding-dong. The host's experience points have reached level five. The host has the physique of a first-class general. The system has specially given the host the Bone Melting Soft Palm.]”
[Ding-dong. The system has bestowed the host with a complete collection of basic technological knowledge. The technology of Great Song has been improved.]”
……
Zhao Xu was half-lying on the dragon throne, listening to the system's words.
Now that his System Points had reached nearly 3,000, he could summon even more famous officials and generals. Zhao Xu said to the System,"
Summoning Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui."
"Ding-dong. Summoning activated. Zhang Juzheng. Hai Rui had already arrived and was preparing to take part in the provincial examination. The summoning cost 2,200 system points.”
"System, the two of them are participating in the provincial examination? Are you still young?"
"Yes, host. Although they are very young, they are very capable. They can assist host in forcefully reforming, attacking the aristocratic families, and eradicating corruption.”
Zhao Xu naturally knew that Zhang Juzheng's administrative ability was stronger than Wang Anshi's. Hai Rui's straightforward personality and unyielding character were very suitable for supervising the officials.
Zhao Xu stood up and looked at the mountain of memorials. Ever since the dismissal of the Ministry of Central Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Privy Council, the Emperor's daily life had become much busier. The cabinet was only an advisor and no longer had the power to make decisions.
In the cabinet, only Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo could make him feel at ease. How could it be so easy to reform and become stronger?
The entire court was made up of scholar-bureaucrats. If it weren't for the intimidation of military merits, those scholar-bureaucrats would have used the name of direct remonstrance to seize the imperial power at any moment.
The 200-odd people of the Zhijian Court were not just for show. Their strength was even greater than the censors of the Ming Dynasty.
Ouyang Xiu was from Zhijian Hospital and specialized in spitting water.
Once the emperor rejected their suggestions or demoted them, they would be exactly what they wanted. They would immediately become officials in the official forest and gain a clear reputation for life.
Zhao Xu would not let them succeed. Those who talked nonsense must be eliminated, and those who did things must make way for the country.
A person who took the throne and shamelessly slandered the king in the name of morality must be destroyed.
On the memorials, there were many good news. The cabinet was busy planning how to deal with the current Xixia. The Xixia messenger had already arrived in Kaifeng.
The news of the defeat of the Xia Liao alliance army spread throughout the Song Empire, and all the citizens and officials cheered.
Everyone began to sing praises of the Emperor's wisdom and might…
Everyone was looking forward to the Emperor creating a prosperous Great Song!
Although the emperor was only nineteen years old, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a sage king. His achievements surpassed Song Taizong's and were comparable to Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
He cleaned up the corruption and defeated Xia Liao, and the court was renewed.
It was already midnight when Zhao Xu finished reading the memorial on the dragon table. The imperial guards were patrolling outside the hall, their footsteps rustling.
Walking out of the main hall, it was still very cold outside. It was chilly in spring, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge.
At midnight, there were still small snowflakes drifting in the sky, but they were very small.
Zhao Xu raised his hand and slapped a big tree in front of him. The big tree immediately snapped with a crack and fell to the ground silently.
The power of this Melting Bone Soft Palm was indeed very powerful!
Zhao Xu had a taste of the power of the Bone Melting Soft Palm gifted by the system. If it were to hit someone, that person would instantly turn into a pool of flesh and blood.
At this moment, a palace maid bowed and walked over, saying,""Your Majesty, the state affairs are tiring. Don't forget about the matter of visiting.”
Zhao Xu turned around and saw a stunning woman in front of him.
This woman was dressed in white and had a beautiful appearance. Her starry eyes were calm, well-behaved, and alert.
Her black hair hung down to her waist. She was as gentle as jade and had an elegant temperament.
"Who are you?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Your Majesty, I am Jiang Hongyun.”
Zhao Xu recalled that Jiang Hongyun had entered the palace a few days ago. She was the daughter of Jiang Shanghe, a wealthy family in Yingzhou.
"Alright, you'll serve me tonight." Zhao Xu waved his hand. Compared to the other women in the palace, this woman was quite bold. She dared to come and ask for the imperial edict to serve her.
Zhao Xu had been on the throne for more than a month and had not visited any concubines. Everyone in and out of the palace was troubled by this matter.
The cabinet was prepared to send a memorial to advise the emperor to pay attention to the country, to visit many concubines, to give birth to princes, and to recommend Fang An.
Renzong did not have a son, Yingzong had a son. It seemed that the Great Song Empire was in a state of discord. The emperor was not anxious, but the eunuchs were anxious, and so were the ministers.
The one who was most anxious was still the empress dowager Gao Taotao. This Jiang Hongyun was found by her imperial decree from her hometown.
Long Hua Palace was the emperor's official residence. The environment here was elegant, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids. The palace lanterns were as dense as a spider web, illuminating the palace as bright as day.
When Zhao Xu held Jiang Hongyun's hand and walked to Long Hua Palace, the palace maids had already prepared hot water for the emperor's concubines to bathe in.
Jiang Hongyun's figure was extremely good, and it was an eye-opener for Zhao Xu. Before he transmigrated, Zhao Xu, a university student with excellent grades, was still a " department head."
