Because of various benefits, Ouyang Bian went to work happily.

There is a special department for daily maintenance, called the Living Court. When it comes to the matters of the emperor, of course, it is impossible that only one or two people are responsible for it. The Department of Living Court is actually not small.

In addition to Ouyang Bian, the official official, he also led eight regular script men and twenty officials.

The regular script man is mainly a copywriter, while the driving officer is an official who passes official documents, handles miscellaneous tasks, takes charge of the superiors, and handles specific affairs.

There are more people in the activity department led by Ouyang Bian before, but compared to the central bank, it is just a small organization, and the daily caller himself is just a meeting recorder.

However, this meeting recorder is the head of state, and his personality is still different.

When Ouyang Bian officially took office, Zhao Shu's health had completely recovered. Zhao Shu was still quite kind to this daily official who recorded his daily words and deeds. After all, this person is a person who is related to his future reputation.

"You are Ji Mo. I have heard of your reputation for a long time."

Zhao Shu is still a handsome talent, his face is as normal as he is, and he doesn't look like a lunatic.

Ouyang Bian quickly crossed his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I am Ouyang Bian. Please give me more advice in the future."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You are also asking the historian to show mercy."

Ouyang Bian said: "I dare not, I will only record it truthfully and will never join my personal feelings."

Zhao Shu browed, was he rejecting me?

If you don’t add personal feelings and record them truthfully, doesn’t that mean you have to record all the bastards you have done?

However, Zhao Shu didn't speak anymore because the few regular script men next to him had already started working and recorded his conversation with Ouyang Bian truthfully. If he talked too much, he would inevitably be detained as a bad reputation for interfering in the records of historians.

But other things can be talked about.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Zhongzhen often talks about you to me..."

Several regular script men next to him stopped tacitly.

Zhao Shu took a look and continued.

"...He often says that you are a friend, and what happened later... I want to thank you too."

Ouyang Bian quickly said, "I dare not accept your Majesty's gratitude, that's just the duty of a minister."

Zhao Shu looked at Ouyang Bian meaningfully and nodded: "It's so good."

After saying that, he stopped talking. Ouyang Bian quickly stepped down and returned to his position, waiting for Zhao Shu to receive the minister.

The first person to come in was Han Qi. Han Qi reported more than a dozen important matters to Yingzong. Yingzong made a lot of decisions and was dealt with. Han Qi looked quite excited.

Ouyang Bian arranged for the regular script to record truthfully. After writing a page of the regular script, Ouyang Bian would see if there were any mistakes and omissions. These were the original materials and they had to be simplified after going back.

In fact, the so-called important matters are just daily matters for the entire empire.

Han Qi probably chose some simple things to ask for instructions. After all, this was Zhao Shu's first official contact with political affairs after his physical recovery.

Ouyang Bian was savoring Zhao Shu's ability to handle political affairs, but that was actually the case.

The Political Affairs Hall represented by Han Qi has actually drafted several solutions, and Zhao Shu just selected the solutions he thought were reasonable and feasible.

In other words, this is not a fill-in-the-blank question, but a multiple-choice question, and the solutions given by the Zhengshi Hall are generally not bad.

This gave Ouyang Bian an illusion - it would be fine if I was there!

But it is indeed the case.

For the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the ability to handle political affairs was indeed very important.

Whether it is Zhenzong, Renzong, or Yingzong, they cannot handle political affairs normally for a period of time, but the court is still in good condition.

This is because the structure of the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council and the Three Departments is quite stable.

In fact, even without an emperor, this empire can still continue to operate.

After Han Qi finished reporting, the Privy Councilor Fu Bi also came to report.

In fact, it is just those daily affairs, and there are not many things about life and death, but being able to get here is a big deal in the local area.

Zhao Shu's performance is still good. Of course, the standard is relatively low. As long as Zhao Shu can choose a relatively good multiple-choice question among the options given by the prime minister, the minister will be quite excited.

After all, Zhao Shu isn’t a normal emperor!

Then the three commanders Zhang Fangping came to report, and this was about the process, and Zhao Shu started to rest after that.

After all, I just recovered and should not be too tired.

Zhao Shu was resting, Ouyang Bian couldn't rest. He quickly asked the regular script Lang to change shifts. He continued to wait, while waiting while reviewing the content.

Next, we need to beautify the text. After all, when talking about the main business, we use vernacular Chinese, but when we record it in history books, we need to use classical Chinese. Here we need to complete and simplify the information.

Simplifying is not about letting messages miss, but about performing a translation without losing information. This job seems simple, but it is actually not easy.

Because the amount of information formed during the conversation was very large, with just a simple interview, the information formed had reached tens of thousands of words, and several thick stacks were piled up.

What Ouyang Bian did was to check whether there were any errors in the information, and then compare the records between several regular script men and sign and annotate them. Next, they would hand them over to other regular script men and make a more complete piece of information, and these original materials would be saved.

This work is quite cumbersome, no wonder eight regular script men need to change shifts, and a large group of drivers help. The information formed does require so many people to handle.

Ouyang Bian had just figured out that Zhao Shu had already rested and was about to go on the next itinerary.

——Zhao Shu is going to Xiangguo Temple, Tianqing Temple, and Liquan Temple to pray for rain.

Since the Spring Festival, there has been no rain everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and spring plowing will soon be in spring. If there is still no rain, the spring plowing will be a bad harvest this year. This is a matter of national destiny.

This is also an announcement for Zhao Shu, declaring that his body has returned to normal and that he can perform the duties of the king normally.

Zhao Shu was going out, and Ouyang Bian, the person in charge of daily life, also had to accompany him. He had to record Zhao Shu's words and deeds at any time.

With the help of the driver, several regular script men followed Zhao Shu out with thick draft paper with Ouyang Bian.

It is not that simple for the emperor to go out. The Infantry Department of the Cavalry Department in front of the Imperial Guard Hall has been preparing for a long time, and the palaces and temples are also diligent in handling their own affairs. If that link is not prepared, it will be removed or even beheaded. No one dares to slacke in this regard.

Ouyang Bian's carriage followed Zhao Shu's carriage. At this time, Zhao Shu had obtained his own personal space.

All the emperor's daily life, including food, clothing, imperial gates, court banquets, sacrificial ceremonies, visits tombs, hunting, and hunting, etc., have records of the daily life officers and left and right ranks or followers.

But overall, daily life notes are generally based on the king and ministers handling political affairs, and try not to involve the king's private life as much as possible.

However, there are relatively exceptions, that is, the fact that the king is in favor of his concubine, is generally recorded clearly.

The most famous one is recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty - Biography of Empresses and Concubines".

In the ninth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, had a personal marriage with the palace maids of the Wang family in Cining Palace, causing the palace maids to become pregnant.

After learning about this, the Empress Dowager asked Zhu Yijun about the whole story.

Zhu Yijun first denied it and denied it in every way. The Empress Dowager ordered the "Daily Notes" to conduct detailed investigation, which determined that the pregnant pregnant woman in the palace maid was the emperor's bloodline and the pure dragon species.

The ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain, and Zhu Yijun is speechless.

Afterwards, the palace maid ascended to heaven and was named "Concubine Gong" and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changluo.

Shida     10     The "national foundation dispute" for the rest of years kicked off.

The Song Dynasty’s daily life notes generally avoid spying on the king’s private affairs. Otherwise, after Zhao Zhen was in the arms of Han Chong'er, he would not specifically take away a gold bracelet on Han Chong'er’s arm as proof.

The so-called Han Chong'er incident was actually after Renzong's death. Han Chong'er said that she was pregnant with Renzong's child, and Han Chong'er was protected by the empress dowager, which made Zhao Shu feel a very threatening, and this was also the origin of the conflict between Yingzong and the empress dowager.

Ouyang Bian naturally would not be interested in these things. He was very glad that he didn't need to do these things, otherwise it would be too sad to listen to Zhao Shu walking in the room.

The emperor has some space for himself, so he doesn’t have to be so tired when paying attention to the daily official.

As for sacrifices, these are some routine processes. Naturally, there is a set of conventional recording methods, which only needs to be recorded according to the regular processes.

These regular script men are all skilled, so naturally Ouyang Bian doesn't need to worry too much.

However, even so, Ouyang Bian felt very tired when he checked in on the first day.

He suddenly felt that it would be better to be a censor.

As a censor, he impeached one person every month, and then his performance was completed. If there is anything else that needs supervision, he just let the supervisor and the censor do it.

After becoming a daily necessity official, I seemed to have no time for myself and felt like I had returned to my previous life as a social animal.

But there are still some gains.

On the one hand, he did learn a lot. The handling of political affairs in the Song Dynasty was not just a testimony of freedom. There was naturally a logic in it. No matter what method it was taken, there would be a logical chain at work. However, some seemed pragmatic, while others seemed very absurd.

For example, in the sixth year of Jiayou, when Ouyang Bian went to deal with the affairs of the household, it involved the abolition of the tea law. At that time, the ministers in the court were talking about it, and Ouyang Bian heard several arguments that made him feel very absurd.

For example, Ouyang Xiu's friend Liu Chang opposed the abolition of the tea law at that time. His reason was that he felt that it was inconvenient to abolish the tea law.

He believes that when the tea judge deliberates, the garden households can first receive capital from the official. Now that the tea law is to be abolished, they must pay tea rent to the government, one is to receive money and the other is to pay money. How inconvenient it is for the tea households!

When Ouyang Bian heard this, he suspected that Liu Chang had a trick in his mind.

Is this the reason?

Tea officials and the garden households receive capital, but they earn very little money. Once the harvest is bad, they have to spend all their money to make up for the difference.

The abolished the official quota and changed it to a business. As long as the park households pay some tea rent, the extra money they sell is their own, and they don’t have to make up for any difference, and there is no risk of losing all their money.

The key is that during this period, the imperial court reduced its expenditures and the tea rent received was pure profit.

This benefited both the residents and the court, but in Liu Chang's view, it was inconvenient.
