In the third year of Jingyou, during Emperor Renzong's reign of the Song Dynasty, an unruly young man fell into the back garden of the Great Song Imperial Palace, thus beginning a life that wou...
After the two Jinshi from the Ma family were arrested, it caused a huge uproar in the court.
Early morning of September 3rd.
With the instigation of the Han family, the Censorate launched another attack after several days of planning.
In the Song Dynasty, the Censorate and the Court of Remonstration were collectively called Taijian. According to the official system during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, there should be six people in each Taijian, for a total of twelve people.
But during the reign of Emperor Renzong, the number of censors increased.
The Censorate consisted of one Chief Censor, one Censor, two Palace Attending Censors, two Left and Right Inspectors, one Corridor Supervisor, one Incense Supervisor, six Supervisory Censors, and twelve Supervisory Censors. Under them were also several Censors stationed in the three capitals.
In this way, there can be more than twenty or thirty officials.
The number of people in the Censorate is relatively small.
Because the officials of the Censorate were mainly responsible for supervising all officials, there were more of them.
The censors supervised the emperor and could also monitor all officials. Their powers were greater than those of the imperial censors, so there were fewer of them, only six people: the left and right censors, the left and right censors, and the left and right correctors.
At that time, most of the officials were recommended by the prime minister. Although they could play a role in supervising the prime minister, they were also occasionally used by the prime minister as offensive weapons against his rivals. For example, they participated in the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reform.
Therefore, Han Yi, as the Deputy Prime Minister, and Ma Yuan was once the Censor, and had three or five good friends in the Censorate, could naturally push the Censorate from behind.
On the same day, Zhao Jun also left home early in the morning.
The weather is getting colder.
Zhao Jun went to the Charity Bureau to see Ping'er.
The Charity Bureau was only established in the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was no such thing in the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Jun seized a lot of property from corrupt officials and gained a lot, so he allocated funds to purchase real estate and resettle these victims.
The Wuyoudong branch was destroyed, more than one hundred criminals were captured, and thirty-one victims were rescued. Only four of them found their families and were willing to go back.
The rest were either homeless or unwilling to go home. After all, many of them were women who had suffered so much and would only be criticized by their neighbors if they went home, so it was better for them to stay.
At least the Imperial City Bureau provides them with food and drink, and the director also promised to arrange some textile work for them in the future. After two years of healing their emotional trauma, they can see if they can find a good family to marry into and live a stable life.
The Charity Bureau was located at the outer city's Cross Street, covering several acres. This was intended to prepare for the complete destruction of Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower in the future and to accommodate a large number of victims, so it was currently empty.
Zhao Jun hired several caregivers to clean the courtyard and arranged for a team of imperial city inspectors to live in the front yard to protect their safety.
When Zhao Jun walked into the Charity Bureau, the inspectors came forward to greet him: "Director."
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded and went all the way to the backyard.
Everyone is having breakfast in the backyard. In the future, there may be thousands of people living in the Salesian Bureau, and it will definitely not be enough to support all these people.
Working hard is the key to having enough food and clothing. Everyone must earn money through the labor of their own hands.
But Zhao Jun has more things to do right now, so he will just live like this for the time being. After he finishes his recent work, he will start to make them self-sufficient.
There were benches in the yard, and caregivers helped feed those with broken limbs. Two little monkeys were jumping around inside. Their hair had grown together with their bodies, and it would be too painful for them to separate them, so they had to do this for now.
Seeing Zhao Jun coming, one of the little monkeys squeaked and said, "Uncle Zhisi is here, Uncle Zhisi is here."
Everyone stood up in panic.
Zhao Jun came several times. At first, he wanted them to call him brother, but then he remembered that brother in the Song Dynasty also meant father, so he asked them to call him uncle.
Although the word "uncle" in the Song Dynasty also means younger brother-in-law, it also means uncle, and its meaning is similar to that of uncle in later generations.
He smiled and pressed his hands down: "Everyone sit down, don't be restrained, this will be your home from now on."
"Thank you Zhisi!"
One woman bowed slightly, and it seemed that she knew some etiquette of ladies before being abducted.
The others followed suit and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhi."
A nurse said enthusiastically, "Zhisi, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"Then come and sit over here."
"good."
Zhao Jun smiled and walked over to sit down.
The bottle is right next to it.
There was a rich meal on the table.
The Imperial City Administration now has sufficient funds and the Charity Bureau does not have many people, so meat is served at every meal.
Twenty-seven people, all had two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and one soup, but the breakfast was not that sumptuous. Today it was soup dumplings and noodles, with mutton soup.
In the past, everyone would start eating as soon as the food was served. But today, everyone was very reserved. Zhao Jun sat down, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Compared to the hell in Wuyou Cave, this place is like heaven.
Even Ping'er has regained some consciousness. She is no longer as confused as before. She can only maintain a numb smile and recite her lines instinctively.
So everyone was afraid to go back to the past, for fear of angering Zhao Jun.
There was a girl on Zhao Jun's left, she was looking at him pitifully. He smiled and said, "Eat it all."
That's what they said, but no one took action.
Zhao Jun had no choice but to take a soup dumpling and hand it to the little girl.
The little girl was very hungry and instinctively took a bite. The soup splashed out and covered her mouth, but it was not that hot, so she smiled foolishly.
"Chuckle, chuckle."
The children around looked at the little girl, laughed, and started to eat.
