Chapter 320: An Ominous Year
As a result of the assembly, the Privy Council withdrew its order, and the Shanyu Weiliang clan was resettled, and the matter came to an end for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and from the mouth of the mountain to Weiliang, he knew that Yuan Hao had decided to oppose the Song Dynasty, and had convened a meeting of the party chiefs in Helan Mountain, and wanted to enter the Kouyan Road from Dejing, Chicheng, and Saimen. However, when the troops were about to be dispatched, the military operation was temporarily suspended because the large number had not been built and could not unite the people. The matter was reported to the Privy Council, but there was no further information.
By this time, the party's rebellion had been decided, but the exact time was unknown. But the Privy Council still did not make a targeted deployment, but it just dragged on, and I don't know what the idea is.
Xu Ping once analyzed it when he was alone, perhaps the Privy Council believed that Yuan Hao's anti-heart was indeed there, and it was quite firm, but the party did not have the ability to conduct large-scale military operations now. The Privy Council was inclined to believe that there should be no rash rebellion until the military arrangements of the party were completed. And once the party begins military deployment, it is still too late for the Privy Council to make targeted arrangements. To make such a ridiculous choice, it should still be hoped that the actual conditions will make Yuan Hao think the opposite and not be able to do the opposite, and now this awkward situation can be maintained forever.
No longer giving hope to the Privy Council, Xu Ping began to concentrate on using the powers of the Third Division to prepare for the war in the northwest. Grain and grass supplies from the interior began to be concentrated in Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Xingyuanfu, and warehouses were built in these three places, so that the prepared materials could be transported to the war zone along the prescribed roads once needed. Even if God jokes with himself, the party item Zhao Yuanhao really does not rebel, and the materials are stored in these convenient transportation places, and they can quickly support the surrounding counties and counties in case of natural disasters.
Because of the earthquake on Hedong Road in Layue last year, the disaster was serious, in addition to preparing for the war in the northwest, Xu Ping was busy transporting disaster relief materials to Hedong Road in February of the first month. A few years ago, Wang Yaochen was ordered to go to Hedong Road to pacify him, regardless of whether it was public or private, Xu Ping had to ensure the sufficiency of disaster relief materials, and this was also a drill to transfer materials to the front line. Because the hardest hit are the three prefectures of Merge, Xin, and Dai, which are the frontline areas of Hedong Road facing the Khitan.
The materials into the east of the river all the way from Luoyang, Xijing, transported by land to Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, and then against the Fen River, the other way from Kaifeng Fu, through Baima, to Cizhou along the Zhanghe River and its tributaries. In two months, Xu Ping used these two roads to transport a total of 300,000 stones of grain and rice to Hedong Road, ensuring that there was no shortage of money and grain in the disaster-stricken areas of Hedong Road.
The Song Dynasty's desert administration was the most perfect in ancient China, and every time a disaster occurred, various disaster relief systems were complete, including the self-help of prefectures and counties, as well as the transfer of materials on the road, and the temporary assignment of pacification to make the overall planning of the whole country when the disaster was slightly larger. However, as in the case of Hedong Road, a large amount of grain was brought in soon after the catastrophe, ensuring stable prices and social stability, and no household fled due to hunger, which was unprecedented before.
At the end of February, Wang Yaochen returned to Beijing to report on his work and praised the three divisions for their effective material dispatch and transportation to ensure the smooth progress of disaster relief. Xu Ping was promoted because of this, and he was promoted from the right doctor to the middle of the matter, and the two provincial officials reached the top, and the next step was the second of the six ministers. The Tang system is given to the province of Limen, and the people of the province of Zhongshu are called to give and she, and they are also on the five products. If you take this official as an opinion, the grades of the officials of the Song Dynasty are not high, and the fifth rank is already a high-ranking official. However, many high-ranking officials have taken posts, such as Xu Ping is a privy councilor, that is, the third grade. If they are replaced and only their own officials are retained, then these middle and high-ranking civil officials will be very embarrassed. This kind of thing has happened in history, and the rank of the commander of the northwest border is generally lower than that of the generals under him, causing confusion.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, before I knew it, it was March, and it was the season of spring flowers.
Mei Xun, a bachelor of Hanlin and the Magistrate's Court, because Pan Ruochong, a member of the Yu Department, asked someone to be appointed as a judge of Bai Bofa, Mei Xun was angry that he begged others not to ask for himself, and there was a conflict, and finally Pan Ruochong did not get his wish, and Mei Xun also went out of the state. As a result, Xia Zhu stepped down as a scholar of Hanlin and became a scholar of Longtu Pavilion to know the court of judges. Ding Du of the Zhizhi Dynasty was admitted to the Hanlin Bachelor together with Song Zhen, and Wang Yaochen was appreciated by Zhao Zhen because of his efforts to pacify Hedong, and was promoted from the Zhizhi Yuan to the Zhizhi Yuan, and became the second high-ranking official after Xu Ping in the fifth year of the Tiansheng Jinshi. Soon, Nie Guanqing was informed by the military department.
Also in March, Zhao Zhen ordered several people who were implicated because of Fan Zhongyan's demotion and involvement in the party, Ouyang Xiu, Yin Zhu and others to move to the Jinbian Prefecture Army. Ouyang Xiu moved to Guanghua County, and Fan Zhongyan also moved from Chuzhou to Runzhou.
However, at this time, the government was no longer what they were when they were demoted out of the capital, Lu Yijian's power had basically been swept away, and the new policy of the three divisions was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and was unshakable. After a lot of efforts in Guozijian, Li Jing's new ideological system has begun to take shape, and he has slowly expanded his influence among scholars. Ding Du, who knew Gongju this year, understood Zhao Zhen's intentions, and added money and food as the key to the test questions, thinking that it was the great righteousness to seek public interests in the world.
The palace test did not go well, and just after the provincial test, there were Kaifeng Mansion Jinshi Chen Bogu and others who ridiculed the unfairness of the provincial test. said that this time, Fan Zhen and others, who were appreciated by the privy deputy envoy Han Yi Sanzi and Xue Kui and others, were tested in the province, and Fan Zhen was the provincial yuan. Zhao Zhen got the news from the Imperial City Division, and ordered these people, including Chen Bogu, not to open the test papers, and to fall directly into the ranks. Because Fan Zhen has been studying in the pavilion for several years, he has already become famous in the capital, and in the end, he was extra kind and let him try, but he was downgraded. Provincial Yuan is in the first class, Wu Yu and Ouyang Xiu have been in dispute because they are not in the top three, and only Fan Zhen is in the second class.
Xu Ping originally pinned his hopes on the imperial examination, but Han Yi's sons were all actively moving closer to the new policy because of the influence of Han Zong. is Fan Zhen, because he has studied in the pavilion for many years, and he has witnessed how the new deal came step by step, and he is friendly with Li Jing. Originally, Xu Ping thought that Fan Zhen could win the champion, but he didn't expect this kind of accident to happen, and the final result was unsatisfactory.
The person Xu Ping is most familiar with in this Jinshi is Sima Guang, but he has no chance with the New Deal, and he is not close to Xu Ping's system, but he is Jinshi Gaodi. Speaking of personal relationships, Xu Ping and Sima Chi have known each other for many years, although they have no deep friendship, but the relationship is still passable. And Sima Guang's father-in-law, Zhang Cun, knew Xu Ping as early as when he was on Guangnan West Road, and worked together in the three divisions for many years, and the relationship became closer. Pang Ji, who is also a teacher and friend of Sima Guang, once took over the cane sugar business founded by Xu Ping, and has a deep understanding of the new policies of the three divisions in Lingnan for several years. With so many conditions, Sima Guang still doesn't have a good impression of the new deal, so it can only be a disagreement in concept, and everyone can't go together ideologically.
In the fifth year of Jingyou, before the New Year, there was a major earthquake in Hedong, and before the spring sounded thunder in the capital, disasters occurred frequently, and the ministers wrote to talk about national politics. From the very beginning, it was predicted that this would be an unusual year, and both the government and the opposition had a premonition that something big would happen.
(Note: Song Zhen's original name was Song Jiao, and it was in this year that he was hated by Li Shu when he entered the Hanlin Bachelor's degree, saying that his surname was a national surname, and the suburbs were the same friends, and it was ominous, so he changed his name to Song Zhen.) In the book, Li Shu has been demoted and skipped this section. And Xia Zhu was the third envoy in this year, and the book was changed to the Governor's Court. This volume has come to an end, and will be briefed later. )
