The wind that blew in from the door suddenly hit the charcoal fire, and the red charcoal fire rose and shook with the wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chong Shiheng entered the house and hurriedly closed the door. Turning around to see Xu Ping sitting on the top, Yang Xuan and Wang Yaochen were left and right, both with calm faces and silent voices, and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Chong Shiheng found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for Xu Ping to speak.

After a while, Xu Pinghao suddenly woke up from his contemplation, saw that the people who should have come in front of him had come, and said, "I am looking for you today, or for the sake of Master Yan's arrival on Jingxi Road." These days, Bachelor Yan went to stay with his daughter, and he didn't just ask about political affairs, how we should deal with it, and we had to discuss it in the next few days. ”

These people were all present that day, although they didn't hear what Yan Shu and Xu Ping said, there were still some rumors. At this time, after listening to Xu Ping's words, he was silent for a while.

Yan Shu's son-in-law Fu Bi is a native of Luoyang, at this time Fu Bi was in Jiangzhou as a general judge, Mrs. Yan did not follow him to take office, or stayed in Luoyang to take care of the clansmen. Since Yan Shu has arrived in Luoyang, of course he has to live with his daughter for a few days. He also intended to take this opportunity to let Xu Ping discuss countermeasures with his subordinates and how to deal with them.

Fu Bi was also born in a family of eunuchs, but from his great-grandfather Fu, he was not a big official, and the highest was no more than a county order. His father, Fu Yan, ascended to the Jinshi C Branch in Zhenzong Xianping for three years, and was born as a Jinshi. Those who lag behind in the ranking of such jinshi should start with the selection of the lowest level. Fu Yan has been a supervisor and an official for more than 30 years, and he has just been promoted to the governor of Wanzhou not long this year.

When Fu Yan was in charge of Taizhou's liquor tax, Fan Zhongyan also happened to be in Taizhou as a supervisor in Xixi Yancang, and the two were both supervisors in Taizhou, and they had a close relationship at that time. It was at this time that the twenty-year-old Fu Bi met Fan Zhongyan and left a deep impression on Fan Zhongyan, which was also a turning point in Fu Bi's life. Eight years later, Fu Bi Jinshi fell and left the capital to Yaozhou, where his father was an official. When he arrived in Shaanzhou, he was caught up by the people sent by Fan Zhongyan and persuaded him to return to Beijing to participate in the system. Fu Bi, who is not good at poetry, should be Mao Cai and other subjects with cloth clothes, and won the first place in one fell swoop, becoming the first Mao Cai and other people since the Song Dynasty. It was also this year, shortly after ascending to the throne, introduced by Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi married the eldest daughter of Yan Shu, who was ten years younger than him, and began the political career of a generation of famous ministers.

Fu Bi is not good at poetry, but good at strategy, if he does not participate in the system, he may not be able to get into the Jinshi in his life. This is somewhat similar to Xu Ping, but Xu Ping can still draw a scoop according to the gourd, while Fu Bi disdains to do so. He has studied hard since he was a child, and he can only compare with Sima Guang, who is the newlywed and sleeps alone on a police pillow, and does not have a round room with his wife. It is precisely because he thinks very highly of himself and firmly believes that he can use his talents to learn from the king and achieve great things, that Fu Bi does not have the heart to be as opportunistic as Xu Ping. However, it is precisely because of this similarity that Yan Shu will slowly change his impression of Xu Ping.

What is worth paying attention to for Xu Ping is that from Fu Bi's body, it can be seen that the relationship between Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan can be seen. When Yan Shu knew that Yingtianfu was in the Heavenly Mansion, he asked Fan Zhongyan, who was guarding his mother's funeral, to preside over Yingtian Academy and open a generation of academic style. When Fan Zhongyan's mother's mourning period expired, it was Yan Shu who, under the instruction of Wang Zeng, recommended Fan Zhongyan to take the examination academy and get the position of the school manager of the secret pavilion. With the position of the museum, Fan Zhongyan changed the political fate of the low-level petty officials and was promoted rapidly.

Although Yan Shu has always remained neutral in the government, in his inner position, he is on Wang Zeng's side. However, Yan Shu is a rich and noble prime minister after all, and he has a position and a position, but he lacks the courage to express his position. It was precisely because of this that Lu Yijian would agree to him coming to Jingxi Road. No matter what he thought in his heart, Lu Yijian believed that Yan Shu would bow his head in front of power.

After sorting out these relationships again in his heart, Xu Ping cheered up and said to everyone present: "There are no outsiders here, I will say it directly if I have something to say." Mr. Yan came this time in the hope that we could echo the intention of Lu Xianggong in the court and write off the tickets in the hands of Henan Mansion. In this way, including you, the officials of Jingxi Road have worked hard in vain this year, their political achievements are mediocre, and some may be ugly. As compensation, the Caosi, Xiansi, and Shuai Divisions of Jingxi Road, as well as the prefectures and counties, except for Mengzhou and Xiangzhou, all the officials of the Beijing Dynasty and the elected people were relocated to one official. In addition, ten places for the promotion of Beijing officials by selected people were separately given to Jingxi Road as a reward. Everything else, including the noisy going to the court by the branch officials, was never mentioned again! ”

After Xu Ping's words were finished, Yang Xuan looked at the others and didn't speak, and asked in a low voice, "What if we don't agree?" ”

Xu Ping sneered: "Then the case that the branch official sued us is about to be raised." Officialdom is like this, it doesn't matter how the facts are, and how to deal with it in the end depends on what Master Yan says after returning to the court. I think that unless something special happens, Master Yan will not disobey Lu Xianggong's will. ”

Wang Yaochen raised his head and said in a solemn voice: "Yunxing, the affairs of Jingxi Road have always been decided by you, and we have followed you to achieve today's situation." How to do it, you first say what you mean. ”

Xu Ping saw that the other people nodded, and said, "If it is up to me, I can't promise Lu Xianggong no matter what." We are officials in the court, and of course we want to be added to the ranks, but we can't be so unclear. As long as the three divisions have cashed the tickets of Henan Mansion, the accounts of the prefectures, counties and yamen are clear, and the political achievements are there, how can they not be moved? Why bother! ”

Yang Xuan nodded: "It's all reasonable!" The relocation of officials is what we deserve, what is it if we don't know it? ”

Wang Yaochen and Chong Shiheng nodded together, obviously both of which they meant. With political achievements, not only can you move officials, but also your political capital in the officialdom in the future, which has a far-reaching impact, and if you are lucky, you may be able to soar.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Xu Ping sighed: "Seriously, we are occupying a rational word." But it is not easy to make this word recognized by the imperial court. If we can't convince Master Yan to speak to us, everything will be in vain. You have all been officials for many years, and you don't need to be verbose about the specific methods, you all know that once Master Yan returns to Beijing to speak to the officials of the branch department, and Lu Xianggong uses the name of the political hall to suppress it, then it is useless for us to say anything. Therefore, if we want to act according to Lu Xianggong's wishes, the only thing we can do is to persuade Master Yan and let him play according to the truth. ”

Yang Xue saw that the other two didn't speak, so he had to say: "Then according to Ducao's meaning, how can I convince Master Yan?" ”

Xu Ping smiled bitterly: "Now in a hurry, I can't give a clear statement." But it's always a principle, to make Mr. Yan believe that after playing truthfully, we can turn things around! Again, we want to make Master Yan believe that after we turn things over, Lu Xianggong can't help him. Bachelor Yan was born as a prodigy, he has been an official since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of officialdom turmoil, so it is not easy to make him believe this. Let's think about how to calm his heart. ”

The three people here today, Xu Ping really regarded them as his own people, and his words were very explicit. He has no room for maneuver now, he must unite his subordinates and come up with a way to give Yan Shu confidence.
