The most benevolent king of all time?
Zhao Zhen's ears twitched. Hearing this adjective, the originally icy expression on his face melted a little, and he said in relief, "Forget it, let him continue to talk nonsense. After his eyes recover, hehe, I will make him pay."
As he spoke, he hummed twice, expressing his determination to say this. It was obvious that he was already thinking about waiting for Zhao Jun's eyes to recover, and then he would see how he would beat him to the punch.
Yan Shu smiled and said, "This is the magnanimity of the emperor!"
"alright."
Zhao Zhen pushed Yan Shu away and scolded him with a smile, "Don't speak well of him, old man. You just said that Zhao Jun's eyes will soon recover and he will be able to see again soon. Think about what he will do after he sees. He can't stay in the palace forever. That's not right."
After all, the imperial palace is Zhao Zhen's residence, and even the prime minister is not allowed to enter the harem. Now Zhao Jun not only lives here, but also allows the prime ministers to come here every day. This is really inappropriate.
Yan Shu said, "Although Zhao Jun hates the Song Dynasty, he is of the Zhao family after all, and he won't watch the Song Dynasty perish. After his eyes recover, he will surely be respectful to Your Majesty, the ancestor. Then, we will arrange for him to be a Bianliang native. Since both his parents are dead, he can enter the officialdom through the imperial examination."
"Um."
Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back and slowly walked forward in the imperial garden at the back. He nodded and said, "Even Zhao Jun said that later generations no longer respect Confucianism and don't read the Four Books and Five Classics. I think he can't even recite the Analects. How can he pass the imperial examination?"
"Forehead......"
Yan Shu followed behind him and thought for a moment, saying, "Others who take the imperial examinations have all been familiar with the classics since childhood. He's already in his twenties, and it's probably too late for him to continue studying. How about the government grant him the same status as a Jinshi?"
"hehe."
Zhao Zhen turned his head to look at Yan Shu, pointed at his own face, and said self-deprecatingly, "This fellow has scolded me to the point of leaving me with a broken body, and yet I still want to grant him the same Jinshi degree and the same uncle. Why do I feel like I'm a bit of a jerk?"
"This is just a temporary solution, a temporary solution."
Yan Shu smiled awkwardly.
You should know that the main way to enter the officialdom in the Song Dynasty was the imperial examination, but there were exceptions, namely, family influence and being granted the same status as a Jinshi.
Those who were born as Tong Jinshi actually performed poorly in the exam. It’s not that they failed the exam, but that they just passed and ranked last, similar to Sun Shan.
The status of being granted the same status as a Jinshi is different. It is a special nomination. That is, the scholar has failed to pass the Jinshi exam many times, and the emperor feels sorry for him or thinks he is really talented, so he grants him this status.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there would sometimes be five classes. The first class was awarded the title of Jinshi and Wenlinlang; the second class was awarded the title of Jinshi and Congshilang; the third class was a Jinshi, the fourth class was also a Jinshi; and the fifth class was awarded the same Jinshi.
Those who were granted the same status as Jinshi not only had low-level positions when they first started working, but were also more likely to be discriminated against. Zeng Guofan even got angry because of the fact that "Madam Ru was a fellow Jinshi."
But even so, in ancient feudal society, it was a gift from the imperial power, and for ordinary scholars, it was a great honor, enough to bring glory to their ancestors.
Now Zhao Zhen is insulted by Zhao Jun every day. After scolding him, he scolds his grandfather, and after scolding his grandfather, he scolds his father. Then, after Zhao Jun's eyes recover, he has to go to the trouble to grant him the same status as a Jinshi. It really feels like he is refusing to accept the insult.
Zhao Zhen himself felt very wronged.
But as Yan Shu said, there is no other solution except a temporary solution.
After all, Zhao Jun's eyes will recover soon.
Next to the back garden are the Kunning Hall, Renming Hall, Ciyuen Hall and other palaces where the Queen and concubines of the Song Dynasty lived. They are very close to Zhao Zhen’s wives, so it is indeed inappropriate to keep a man here.
Moreover, because of Zhao Jun's incident, Zhao Zhen had ordered the back garden to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The original guards in the back garden were stationed there for a long time, and the old women and children who came in also lived here permanently, so the queen and concubines could not enter.
In addition, the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace was actually not very big, and the main place for the concubines to have fun was in the back garden. Now that the back garden was sealed, they had no place to play. These days, they often went to Zhao Zhen to act coquettishly and begged him to lift the seal, which gave Zhao Zhen a headache.
So Zhao Jun will have to move out of the palace in the future.
However, Zhao Zhen quickly thought of another problem and frowned, "If Zhao Jun leaves the palace, what will happen to his future safety? The Song Dynasty can survive without me, but it cannot survive without him now."
Yan Shu thought for a moment, then said, "Why not send the Imperial City Officer to accompany him all the time? Firstly, to protect his safety, and secondly, of course..."
"hehe."
Zhao Zhen laughed and walked towards the distant harem.
I've been abstaining from sex for over a month now, and I haven't seen Master Attendant Miao, Lady Zhang, and the others in a long time. I miss them so much.
