No matter what Xu Ping said, Duan Shaolian only apologized carefully, and refused to agree to blame himself with the two people who went with him.

Xu Ping saw that it was useless to say anything more, so he left a transcript of his record of leaving the city, took Sun Qilang out of the Yushitai, and went straight out of the city gate to return to his mansion outside the city. Since the officials are not on the table, Xu Ping can only be impeached.

Since the 27th, it has entered the seven-day long holiday of the New Year's Festival, and the days of the last dynasty are only two days.

As soon as Xu Ping returned home, he locked himself in his study and wrote his first impeachment note since he became an official. has been an official for so many years, and he has also been the general judge in charge of inspection in the middle, Xu Ping has never impeached others, but he didn't expect to make an exception because of this kind of thing now, it's really funny to think about.

When it got dark and had dinner, Xu Ping still returned to the study to polish the chapter, and Lin Suniang accompanied Xu Zheng and his wife with Panpan.

At the end of the month, there was no moon in the sky, the whistling north wind was blowing, and the stars in the sky were dodging under the thin clouds, revealing the desolation of winter.

Just as Xu Zheng and his wife were about to go back to the room to rest, Xu Chang came in from outside, saluted everyone in the hall, and said: "There is a fast horse rider from outside the house, saying that it is the subordinate of Fan Zhongyan, the right secretary, and there is a letter to Da Lang. ”

Thinking that it might be an official exchange, Xu Zheng didn't want to ask, and said to Xu Chang: "Da Lang is in the study, you just send it over." By the way, it's getting late, have you stayed overnight? ”

The man left the book and hurried away, saying that he would not stop saying anything. I had to let him go. ”

Xu Zheng nodded and said, "Well, if you want to leave, you can't stay." As long as our family gifts are counted, don't be gossiped. You go to the study to find Dalang, maybe it's something urgent. ”

Xu Chang promised and took the letter to Xu Ping's study.

There was also a fire in the study, and although there were two basins of water in the room, it was still dry.

Seeing Xu Ping, Xu Chang handed over the letter in his hand and said: "The person who came said that it was the letter from Fan Zhongyan, the right secretary, to Dalang, but I don't know why, I left in a hurry." ”

Xu Ping took the letter in his hand, thought for a while, and said to Xu Chang: "Okay, I know." ”

Xu Chang went out, Xu Ping opened the book, read it quickly, and put it on the table.

As expected, because of the incident of Duan Shaolian and the three of them last night, Fan Zhongyan wrote another letter, or apologized, or asked Xu Ping to focus on the overall situation and not make a big deal about it. When he returns to Beijing one day, Fan Zhongyan will come to visit.

There is no need to ask, it must be that after going to Taiwan to find someone in the afternoon, they hurriedly sent someone out of the city, found Fan Zhongyan, and asked him to write this letter of pleading.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan's official position was low, and the right secretary and the staff were still separated by a first-order living house, not to mention compared with Xu Ping's military department. However, Fan Zhongyan is the right secretary to advise on the official affairs, manage the court, and have many important positions, and his reputation in the capital has gradually risen, although he has not yet had the reputation of being the world's clear hope later, and it should not be underestimated.

Especially in the memory of Xu Ping's previous life, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fan Zhongyan was the first minister in the next thousand years, and Xu Ping has always been cautious in the face of Fan Zhongyan.

This also made Xu Ping very puzzled, Fan Zhongyan was forty-five years old at this time, and his official position was only the head of the secret pavilion, and to be honest, Han Qi, who was twenty years younger, was not much higher, and the official road was quite rugged. With Xu Ping's limited knowledge of history, he also knows that it has not been many years since Fan Zhongyan went to Shaanxi to preside over the military administration of the whole road, and he must have undergone a super promotion during this period. So don't look at the fact that he was kicked out of the capital this time because of the abolition of the queen, I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for him, maybe things will be reversed, and he can't say that he got up because of this.

Speaking of which, the position of the right counselor is very special, and the chief official of this era is to know the court with other officials, such as Sun Zude. The people who manage the court with the right official are not ordinary people, and they face the royal history of the middle and the ruler with a petty official, and they appear in front of the emperor every day, and somehow they soar into the sky.

Looking at Fan Zhongyan's letter, Xu Ping pondered for a long time.

With Fan Zhongyan's identity, Xu Ping couldn't ignore it. But if it's just because of a letter, it's impossible for Xu Ping to put things down, not to mention facing Lin Suniang at home, how to face colleagues when he goes out?

In the end, Xu Ping still decided to impeach or impeach in the last chapter, but Fan Zhongyan's letter could not be replied to, there was no need to offend Fan Zhongyan because of this kind of thing, politeness always had to be done.

In the letter to Fan Zhongyan, Xu Ping explained the matter. Taiwan officials harassing their family members can let go of it if it is just a private matter, but things are not so simple. The three of them went to Xu Ping's house because Xu Ping had a close relationship with Li Zhang, who was guarding the gate, so the problem was big or small. Whether the door is open or not, how can it be decided because of the personal relationship between Li Zhang and Xu Ping, and it is completely unforgivable for the Taiwan admonition official to make such a mistake.

Xu Ping made it clear that in private, his family was harassed, and in public office, Taiwan officials were incompetent. For both private and public affairs, Xu Ping wants to impeach those three people.

On December 25, because the New Year was approaching, the early dynasty was just a daily report to the divisions, not a major event.

After getting off the court, Xu Ping's fine officials left, and he went to the Tongjin Division in the vertical arch hall to deliver the recital.

Tongjin is in charge of the inheritance and distribution of various documents, and its position is extremely important, and it is also a place for ministers of all sizes in the capital to inquire about various news in the officialdom. Everyone you meet here may be implicated in some big people in the capital later.

However, not everyone can come here to deliver the recital, ordinary people and lower-level petty officials have to go through the Dengwen Drum Institute and the Dengwen Inspection Institute, and then submit it to the traffic department after being reviewed there. Middle-level bureaucrats, the channel for the upper chapter is the door, and the door division is then transferred to the traffic department.

Directly from the Tongjin Division to play the chapter, non-high-ranking officials are clear. Xu Pingyantie's position as deputy envoy is still a little reluctant, but he still has the Zhishi Pavilion with him, which is enough, not to mention that there is a Yongning County Marquis with him.

When he arrived at the gate of the Tongjin Division, he was just in time for Zhitong to enter the Yintai Division, and when he saw Xu Ping, he smiled and said: "Yongning County is located in Lingnan, there is no winter all year round, the county marquis has brought this title, and he is not comfortable in Beijing, and he has not seen a shadow throughout the winter. ”

Shi Zhongli has always been open-mouthed, and it is difficult to hear him say a serious word in private, and the civil and military officials in the city have long been accustomed to it. Xu Ping smiled and replied, "Tell me about things." Today is a concert delivery. ”

Xu Ping is more serious, and Shi Zhongli has already heard about it, and when he sees that he is talking about business, he no longer jokes, and calls the small officials in the department to come out and take Xu Ping's recital.

The Tongjin Division has the duty to inspect the performance, and what Xu Ping is on is not a real seal, but a secret seal.

Shi Zhongli looked at it by the way, raised his head and glared at Xu Ping: "The county marquis is really extraordinary, he doesn't come to my yamen once all the year round, and he will drive away my frequent visitors here as soon as he comes." (To be continued.) )
