At this point, the list of the twenty-four heroes of Shanhe Pavilion has been initially selected.

Twelve people of martial arts: Yue Peng, Liu Hongyi, Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Jue, Huang Hua, Shi Kaiji, Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang, Su Liu Yi, Ling Chengzhi, Lu Yuwen, Wen Qi.

Twelve civil officials: the Lord of Guigu Palace, Wang Yun, Zhang Shijie, Chen Wenlong, Zhao Yuluo, Wang Wenfu, Lu Xiufu, Xiang Dongyang, Liu Fu, Zi Gaoyi, Zhong Jian, and Li Zhaoen.

Zhao Dongting ranked again based on the merits and qualifications of these people, and then hugged Le Chan and went to bed.

The next day.

When he arrived at the Imperial Study room, he asked Chen Wudao to bring the ministers of the central cabinet to the Imperial Study room.

This almost covers all the second-rank or above officials of the dynasty.

After they bowed, Zhao Dongting directly handed Zhong Jian the list of heroes of Shanhe Pavilion he had prepared, and chuckled and said, "To this day, the country has been stable and the country has flourished.

Last night, I suddenly thought of past events and felt that today's Song Dynasty was hard to come by.

All of you here work hard and make great contributions. Therefore, I plan to follow the previous dynasty, set up Shanhe Pavilion, and establish the first twenty-four heroes, and publish a book and biography for them first.

This is the list I made last night, so all my dear friends will take a look.”

Zhong Jian took the paper with both hands, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then opened it.

Zhao Dongting continued: "In addition, I also plan to establish a list of famous generals and capable ministers in the name of the court.

Each of them selected hundreds of people to serve as an example for the officials of the Song Dynasty.

The people listed in Shanhe Pavilion are not included in this.

The list of candidates will be decided by your central cabinet and Mingjing Taiwan, and then handed over to me to take a look."

Zhong Jian has finished reading the list while speaking.

He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, but handed it to Zhao and Luo next to him again.

After reading it, Zhao and Luo also looked the same.

Then they handed it down one by one.

After everyone finished reading it, it was already a while since time had passed.

The central cabinet ministers all looked at Zhao Dongting with different expressions.

Among them, only Wen Tianxiang, who was still serving as military orders, was listed.

Among the civil officials, there are only Zhong Jian, Li Zhaoen, Wang Wenfu, Zi Gaoyi, Zhao and Luo here.

The rest are either dead or retired.

In fact, even Wang Wenfu is over the age of retirement, but Zhao Dongting still wants him to preside over the punishment and save him for a period of time.

When Zhu Hecong is tempered enough, he will probably take over his position.

"Tell me, what do you think."

Zhao Dongting was not surprised by everyone's performance and reaction, and said with a chuckle.

Look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.

Then Zi Gaoyi, who was the Minister of Water Resources at that time, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, the weak minister is afraid.

I was only in my thirties when I served the court. In terms of qualifications and merits, I dare not compare with the old ministers in the court, and I am far from my colleagues here.

After serving the imperial court, he did not make much contribution to the country and the country.

Although I think I am quite diligent, I am not outstanding among my colleagues. There are many people who are more talented and more dedicated to governing than the ministers. I also ask the emperor to take back his life."

Li Zhaoen also stood up and said, "Emperor, Zhaoen also asks the emperor to take back his life."

Even Zhong Jian moved his butt and wanted to get up.

They are all young people, and they really dare not take credit for those older people.

But before Zhong Jian got up, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, listen to my thoughts first."

He looked at Zi Gaoyi, "Although Zi Aiqing, you are not an old minister of the Song Dynasty, you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which is a great thing.

Among the old ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, you also boast about it.

My intention to establish Shanhe Pavilion is not entirely because of who has worked hard and made great contributions, but to set an example for the country and officials.

To this day, the old land of the Yuan Dynasty has been returned to our Song Dynasty for many years, and the vast land is all my Song Dynasty people.

What was gone is already past.”

His eyes flashed over several other old officials of the Yuan Dynasty, "I was just the masters of my own at the beginning, so I don't have to take them to heart for a long time."

"I have seen your efforts to the Song Dynasty since the unification of the Song Dynasty.

I have never thought that because you have always rejected and alienated you because of your past.

The change of imperial power and the change of dynasties are not achieved by manpower.

If you can love the people as your son, you are a good official.

When Zi Aiqing fought on the dam for eight days and eight nights to fight floods and disaster relief, how could he not be the example of these officials?

If the ministers recorded in Shanhe Pavilion are all based on merit, hard work and qualifications, then what is the need to establish them?"

"This..."                                                              

Zhao Dongting continued: "Shanhe Pavilion does not talk about anything else, but only talks about serving the country and the people."

"emperor."

At this time, Zhong Jian stood up and said, "I am understanding the emperor's intention. I am just saying that they are twenty-four heroes, but I think it is inappropriate."

Zhao Dongting's heart moved slightly.

Zhong Jian also said: "Because I am not judging by my merits and qualifications, I think it is appropriate to follow the twenty-four ministers or twenty-four ministers."

Zhao Dongting nodded without hesitation, "What Zhong Aiqing said is very much."

He ignored this little mistake before.

It is best to just say that the twenty-four ministers are the best. In this way, those who have not been selected will not have too many thoughts in their minds.

After all, the word "gong" is still a bit too sensitive.

It is inevitable that some people will make a secret comparison.

Take those who have made great contributions or are similar to Zi Gaoyi for example. Zi Gaoyi has become accused of it, but they have not become accused of it?
