After leaving the post house, Ding Jue looked around and said to Ding, "Daddy, why did you suddenly move us to Gwangju?" ”

Ding Wei touched his white beard, which had become sparse, and said proudly: "Because your father's name still has some weight in this world." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As long as I am close to Beijing, the world will shake, and I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep at night! Moving us to Gwangju is naturally because someone has an unstable position and wants to borrow my name! ”

"Then why don't you just let us go back to the capital?"

Ding Wei sighed: "Alas, because the prince of the court is afraid of your father's methods." I am dying, so why should they take such precautions? Xu Ping is still a doll in the end, and his courage is insufficient! What if I had recruited the old man back then? The hero took advantage of the situation, and now the general trend is like this, if it is not the Qianyuan period, what can the old man do? ”

Ding Jue was not interested in these things, and just asked, "In this way, is it a good thing for us?" ”

"Nature is a good thing! In a few years, when my years are up, I will be buried in the Central Plains, and you will have to travel thousands of miles less to support the coffin! ”

After speaking, Ding Wei strode over to the donkey tied to the tree and untied the reins.

When officials are demoted, in addition to being demoted, what is more serious is that they are organized, resettled, and resided in a certain place, and the degree of surveillance is reduced in turn. There is basically no personal freedom in the management of the organization, there are public officials to monitor them every day, and they are generally not allowed to leave the city for resettlement, and there are basically no restrictions on residence, but they are not allowed to move. Ding Wei has changed his residence in Daozhou, and his personal freedom is not restricted, but this time he has changed to Gwangju, which is close to the Central Plains, and if he has the heart, he can contact the officials.

However, if he is allowed to go to Gwangju, Asari Zaisuke has already prevented this, but I am afraid that it is better to be at ease in Doju there.

Gwangju is located at the northwest corner of Huainan West Road, which is also quite a place to think about. Zhao Zhen Kaien asked Ding Wei to move to the mainland, but it was difficult to stop the political affairs hall, so he thought about the choice of place. Jingdong Road is close to the Central Plains is Nanjing Yingtianfu, where the political status is important, and there are many dignitaries, Ding said that this identity can not go there. There is Xijing Henan Mansion in the north of Jingxi Road, and now it is under Xu Ping's management, which is even more inappropriate. Everyone knows that Xu Ping has been a transfer envoy abroad, and it is very likely that he will return to the dynasty to serve as the third envoy, and if he is allowed to find a prime minister who supports him, the current governor will be difficult to deal with.

After choosing and choosing, he had to let Ding Wei go to Gwangju. It not only shows the emperor's sanctity, but also stays away from the political core.

On the road of the two Beijing posts, Xu Ping sat in the carriage, looked at the gradually thickening autumn colors outside the window, and said to Xiuxiu on the side: "We went to Luoyang this time, which is the first place in the world in addition to the capital." Xiuxiu, what do you think? ”

Xiuxiu hugged her knees, leaned on a small carving next to her, and said with a slight smile: "Although Luoyang is good, in my heart, I don't think it was as interesting as going to Yongzhou back then." At that time, the children's family was carefree, but now they don't have that kind of mood. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "That time I traveled eight thousand miles, and I took you a little maid and Gao Daquan to take office. Now for four hundred miles, I still take you with a concubine, but there are a lot more others. ”

Xiuxiu sighed: "If it weren't for the lack of a way, Madame would have personally taken office with you, and I wouldn't have to come." ”

Xu Ping looked at Xiuxiu, looked at her with a trace of confusion between her eyebrows, and after a while, asked her softly: "Then what do you think yourself?" I don't care what other people think, as long as it doesn't go against your will and makes you happy. ”

"Me? I do not know. Xiuxiu shook her head slightly. I am also happy to be with the officials, but what will happen in the future - alas, I can't say clearly. The officials doted on me and loved me since I was a child, taught me to read and write, and understood things. I was the daughter of a shepherd, but I learned this. The officials don't know, but in fact, I couldn't get used to going home last year. It's just that I know that those are my lives, the days I should live, and I should live in that kind of world for the rest of my life. If it weren't for the official's illness, I might never have returned to you. In a year or two, when my younger brother is older, maybe I will find an honest farmer to marry, and then have a son and a daughter. The son asked him to study like an official, and in the future, he would take the Jinshi exam and change his court. The daughter let her know how to be well-read, learn to be a female celebrity, prepare a dowry for her, and marry a good family in the future. It was the life I was supposed to live, the fate I was born with, the way I should have been-"

Xiuxiu's voice became smaller and smaller, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Xu Ping held Xiuxiu's hand, looked at her, and said to her seriously: "Xiuxiu, no one is destined to live a lifetime if he is born." People will always grow up, they will always meet some people, they will encounter some things, and the people and things they encounter are not predestined, how can people's fate be predestined? You have been with me for ten years and have grown up happily, and I hope you will accompany me in the future and be able to live happily for a lifetime, always like now! ”

"Good! At least I'm happy now. Xiuxiu wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled at Xu Ping.

The day before leaving, Lin Suniang found Xiuxiu, and after several hesitations and struggles, she still asked Xiuxiu if she would like to go to Luoyang with Xu Ping. This time I can't be a servant girl, Xiuxiu has passed that age, and this time she entered the Xu family as a concubine.

Xiuxiu never thought that Lin Suniang would come to ask herself such a thing, she could feel that Lin Suniang had been eager to send herself out of the house immediately. However, when Xu Ping had to go out of the capital to take up a foreign post, and she couldn't stay with Xu Ping, Lin Suniang still chose Xiuxiu. And told Xiu Xiuming that she didn't need to go to Xu's house to be small, it turned out that the small courtyard in the capital was her future residence, which was equivalent to the outer room.

Now Xiuxiu can't remember what the two women said that night, in short, trivial, cause and effect, before and after death, almost everything in this life is involved. Xiuxiu even has the illusion that the two are like sisters, they have nothing to say and nothing to talk about. Until the next day, she went out with Xu Ping, and Lin Suniang told her that in the future, Xiuxiu of this Xu Mansion could no longer step in, she had her own home, and this was Lin Suniang's home. Xiuxiu realized that Lin Suniang used one night to divide Xu Ping into two people, a small piece for herself and a large piece for Lin Suniang.

It's good to be able to get a small piece, what a strong person Lin Suniang is, this is already a great concession. If it is someone else, you may wish that her husband's concubines are all calling in front of you, and you can scold and scold if you want to beat, and all the anger that your husband has received will be vented on her concubine. Lin Suniang is not such a person, if she didn't really rest assured that Xu Ping would have another physical accident, and she had no way to be by her side, she would never accept Xiuxiu. But I have no choice but to accept it, then don't appear in front of me again, everyone has their own life, and it's best not to see each other from now on.

Xiuxiu pulled out her hand, hugged her knees, and sighed secretly. When she first entered the Xu family when she was a child, Lin Suniang was the future hostess, and she was just a little maidservant, and her temper has not changed yet.

Tan Hu, who was riding a horse, bent down to the carriage and whispered: "Official, it's time to Guanchengyi, and the Zhengzhou officials in front of you are out to greet you." ”

Xu Ping got up and said to Xiuxiu: "It can be regarded as leaving the Kaifeng Mansion boundary!" Xiuxiu, in front of Zhengzhou, belongs to Jingxi Road, and from then on, it was under the control of officials. What do you want to eat, just ask! ”

Xiuxiu smiled and said: "I don't want anything, as long as the officials drink less." ”

Xu Ping laughed when he heard this, got up and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

When they arrived at the door of the post house, the carriage stopped, and Xu Ping jumped out of the carriage and straightened his official robe.

Zhengzhou's state staff and some public officials in important positions greeted Xu Ping early, and when he saw Xu Ping, an official in his thirties stepped forward quickly and bowed: "The lower official Zhengzhou has sentenced Lu Ge, and led a group of bureaucrats to welcome Du Cao!" ”

Xu Ping returned the salute, and a group of officials came up to meet each other.

The governor of Zhengzhou is Chen Yaozuo, and Zhao Zhen was appointed as the local government after he was in power, so he naturally had no reason to come out to greet Xu Ping in his identity. Lu Ge, the general judge who really manages the state government, is a boy who is young, and he was only sixteen years old when he was a jinshi in the third year of Tianxi, don't look at his age, but his qualifications are already very deep.

Everyone saluted and entered the post house together. After serving tea, Lu Ge said: "Zhizhou Chen Xianggong prepared thin wine in the state government to catch the wind for the capital. Please also ask Du Cao not to be ugly in a small state, and to move lightly. ”

Xu Ping said: "Chen Xianggong is so polite, how dare I be?" When the sun sets, you will come to visit. ”

Lu Ge thanked him, gossiped for a while, and then took a group of officials to leave. Let Xu Ping settle his entourage in the post house, and then go to the feast in the evening.

Starting from Zhengzhou, and then in the past, it was under the rule of Jingxi Road and belonged to Xu Pingguan. In these places, Xu Ping not only passed by, but also performed his duties preliminarily, starting from the secretary of the division, all the officials had to meet again.

The transshipment envoy is the abbreviation, and the official title is the transshipment envoy according to the inspection envoy, and the agricultural envoy of this road. As can be seen from the name, there are two main duties, which are responsible for transporting money and grain, and supervising the officials under the rule of the road. When Jingde was in power for three years, he asked the envoys and the chief officials of the prefectures and counties to bring them, which was relatively less important. The biggest difference between dispatch and official position is that the name directly shows the power and responsibility, and one more one will give one more power, and at the same time, there will be one more assessment. In addition to the regular transfer of inspection and persuasion of farmers, Xu Ping also brought up the miscellaneous affairs of Changping, river canals, bridges, camps and pit metallurgy on the road, and was actually the first-class governor of the road with the greatest real power. The roads of the Song Dynasty were not administrative divisions, there were no administrative functions, and the most important thing for the transit envoys was to be responsible for finance, and the deterrence of the lower states and counties came from the power of supervision. And Xu Ping's dispatch actually brought a part of the administrative power.

All officials of the two systems or more than two provinces are transshipment envoys, and a capital character is added to show respect. Therefore, Xu Ping is really called a transfer envoy, although it is exactly the same as the authority and the transfer envoy. (To be continued.) )
