Xu Ping, together with Li Di and Chen Yaozuo, left Luoyang, Xijing, and marched to the capital along the Liangjing Post Road. www.biquge.info Xu Ping rode a horse, and the two old men rode in a car, not walking fast. Yan Shu and Wang Yaochen had already left together in addition to the envoy.

Along the way, news kept coming that the key middle and low-level officials in the capital were changing blood. The two counselors, Gao Ruone and Yao Zhongsun, were both transferred to the Yushitai, and Han Qi was promoted to the right counselor, and he presided over the court together with Wang Yaochen. In addition to Zhang Guan in the imperial history, almost all of them were changed from the imperial history to Sima Chi, and Fang Kai was also transferred back to Beijing to serve as the imperial history. The most unexpected thing is that Li Shu was transferred out of the capital, and Song Zhen was sent to the people's house and the knowledge system.

The last piece of news made Li Di and Chen Yaozuo very unhappy. It's okay to replace people in Taiwan, relatively speaking, the two yamen are independent of Zhongshumen, and the Sheren Yuan is a subordinate of Zhongshu, so Zhao Zhen's substitution is a bit too much. Fortunately, there can be more than one post in the knowledge system, and after the two are prime ministers, they can slowly stuff their own approved candidates.

There has been no change in the candidates for the third division, and everyone knows that this is to let Xu Ping be in charge of the third division, and he will not be replaced until he goes back. Compared with Xu Ping, it is obvious that Zhao Zhen is not at ease with the two future prime ministers.

When he arrived in Baisha Town, Li Di suddenly said, "Xu Longtu, this is not your hometown?" After a long time on the road, let's just rest here for two days, and when we are well-treated, we will rush to the capital in one go! ”

Chen Yaozuo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, now the four phases are combined, there is no one in the political hall, and the government is chaotic." There must be an important errand for us to summon us back to Beijing, so why should we be delayed on the road? ”

Now Chen Yaozuo can't wait to have wings and fly back to the capital, and many positions will be occupied by Zhao Zhen's arrangement one day later. Zhang Dexiang and Yan Shu didn't dare to reject the emperor's appointment, and they were sure that what they said was in the edict. At this juncture, Li Di still has the heart to rest on the road!

Li Di said: "I'm old and frail, and I can't walk!" Chen Xianggong, it's better to send someone to the capital, apologize to the saint, and say that he is not feeling well, and he will rest on Xu Longtu's Zhuangzi for two days before hurrying, do you think it's okay? ”

Chen Yaozuo was about to sternly refuse, but when he turned his head and saw Xu Ping, who was riding on a horse next to him, he smiled, and after thinking about it, he understood Li Di's intentions. No matter how fast these people walk on the road, how can they compare to Zhao Zhen's thoughts? Just express your dissatisfaction to Zhao Zhen, can't we leave if we don't leave? If you want to change all the seats to the person you like, then we will give you time to change them, and if you have the ability, you can fill all the seats, and the prime minister will not do it.

Thinking about it left and right, it seems that Li Di's method is more reliable now. rushed back in a hurry, not only could not stop Zhao Zhen's movements, but I was afraid that it would make him have an opinion in his heart, so it was better to dry him out. This time, the emperor's approach is not authentic first, and it is reasonable for the incoming prime minister to express his dissatisfaction, otherwise he will not be able to become the emperor's puppet in the political hall in the future. The prime minister who will only act according to the emperor's wishes, Zhao Zhen is afraid that he will not use it.

The two old ministers reached an agreement, of course Xu Ping was not good at objecting, not to mention that people said that they were going to be guests in their Zhuangzi, how could they turn them away? Pretending to persuade a few words, a few people got off the official road and went to the Xu family's restaurant in Baisha Town first.

Even if he can really go back to the third division, the support of the two prime ministers is still needed to promote the reform, and what Zhao Zhen can provide is actually determination, and the real help still depends on the various yamen.

At this time, not long after entering the summer, the peach blossom water has just passed, the river water is rising, and the Jinshui River, which has been deserted for a winter, is lively again. Although it is not accessible to the big boats, the small boats are continuous, and it seems to be very lively. The Xu Family Restaurant by the river ushered in a busy time, and several small servants stood outside, constantly greeting guests.

Xu Ping didn't plan to stay in Baisha Town, so he didn't notify the people in the village, but the sudden arrival caught the restaurant off guard.

When the manager of the restaurant got the news, he hurried out and saluted Xu Ping and his party. This is the little guy in the restaurant when Xu Ping first arrived in Baisha Town, the old man in the family, and now he is out of the way and is in charge of the Xu family's industry here.

After seeing the ceremony, seeing that it was still early, Xu Ping and others had no intention of eating wine and dinner in the restaurant. Let the restaurant prepare manpower, take his party to Zhuangzi, in Li Di's words, rest for a few days, and then say, the capital is not in a hurry to go back.

When he was about to leave the restaurant, three men of the forbidden army suddenly came from the road, one of them picked a wine gourd, and strode towards the restaurant. The nearby forbidden army camp is the most important source of customers for the Xu family, and this kind of scene happens every day, which is not unusual.

However, the people who came today were different, and the one who walked in the front was Gao Daquan. This is the old man who went out from the Xu family and followed Xu Ping to Lingnan many years ago, and the people of the Xu family recognized it, and the little guy hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Gao Daquan saw Xu Ping on the horse from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Official, is this going to live in the village?" ”

I haven't seen him for two years, and Gao Daquan has been promoted to a middle-level officer in the forbidden army, and he is much calmer. Xu Ping wanted to get off the horse and talk to him, but Li Di and Chen Yaozuo's car had already moved, so he had to say in a loud voice: "The two of you are tired of walking on the highway and are unwell, so you want to go to Zhuangzi to rest." If you are all right, come to Zhuangzi and meet me, and we will talk! ”

Gao Daquan answered the promise and watched Xu Ping ride a horse with Li Di and Chen Yaozuo to Xujiazhuang.

Seeing Xu Ping walk away, Gao Daquan turned to the two people beside him and said, "It's Xu Longtu who is going at the right time." Ten years ago, the Chunze Prison near here was abandoned, and I went to Longtuzhuang as a guest in addition to the military from the Niu Yang Division. Long Tu saw that I had the strength and did a good job, so he deliberately paid me more and took me in Zhuangzi. Later, in addition to the Yongzhou General Judgment, I went to Lingnan, and by chance, I have today. ”

A young officer in his twenties and thirties next to him with tattoos on his face said: "With such an opportunity, it is appropriate for my brother to make a career!" ”

Another white-faced man in his thirties also said: "Ten years have been rampant, if the military marquis hadn't followed Long Tu, where would he be today?" ”

The rampant military rank is the chief and deputy envoy rank of the fifth, sixth or seventh grade, higher than the ambassador minister, lower than the remote county official, beyond the scope of normal research and transfer according to seniority, all the removal must be in accordance with the special purpose, so there is a rampant title. For military generals, this is a very important stage, if it is placed in the locality, Wen to Zhizhou Wu to Lu Xuan, can be posted. Further is Yaojun, which belongs to the ranks of high-level military attachés. Because of his military merits, Gao Daquan moved much faster than others, and now he has achieved the rank of the Quartet Embassy Envoy of the Sixth Grade, the military capital of the front division of the palace, and the deputy of the military level.

At this time, several officials can not be compared with the later Ming and Qing dynasties, regardless of civil and military, the six grades of the previous official ranks are many and dense, once into the five grades, the identity is extraordinary, and the marquis is also a common thing. The middle and lower ranks are secret, so most of the people are limited to the middle and lower ranks, but there are enough high-ranking officials to move. Even if you work as a sixth or seventh rank official for a lifetime, you don't have to worry about not being promoted enough according to seniority. Those who can jump from the middle and lower classes to above the fifth rank either rely on political achievements or military merits, and of course, the majority of people rely on relationships. But no matter what, at that point, it is significantly different from everyone else.
