Xu Ping's performance this time was actually His Majesty's speech, and after seeing Zhao Zhen, it was time to prepare to leave the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thought a few days ago that because Wang Yong was about to reach his term, it was impossible to give himself the position of Jingxi Road transfer envoy, but he didn't expect an accident, this position still fell on him. Whether it is in the middle of the heart, or the unexpected joy, Xu Ping has no opinion on this appointment, but why is this appointment made, he can only understand after meeting the emperor in person.

The recital was still arranged in the afternoon, and in the morning, Xu Ping arrived at the Sansi Yamen first. Before leaving the capital, Xu Ping had to cancel his medical leave, hand over his duties with the new deputy envoy of salt and iron, and deal with some hands and tails, a lot of things to do. In fact, he still doesn't know who will pick up his salt and iron deputy envoy.

As soon as I entered the yamen, I felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified, and today's three divisions were different from usual.

When they arrived at the Salt and Iron Division, as soon as they sat down in their official hall, Liu Xin, Zheng Jian, and Guo Jian came in together.

After saluting, Liu Xin said first: "Deputy envoy, I heard that you are leaving the capital?" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, yesterday the people from the Imperial Court sent a new edict, and I went to Luoyang to serve as a transfer envoy on Jingxi Road." - Hey, this edict shouldn't have been announced yet, how do you know? ”

Liu Xin sighed: "Early this morning, the new deputy envoy of salt and iron has already come to the yamen. ”

"Who is it? So anxious? ”

"Longtu Pavilion is waiting for Wang Bowen, he went back to his yamen to deal with miscellaneous matters, saying that Deputy Envoy Xu has arrived, and he and the new provincial lord are discussing things. Now the two provincial lords, the old and the new, are sitting in the governor's hall, waiting for the deputy envoy to pass. ”

Xu Ping was taken aback: "What?" The provincial lord of Kou has also changed his officials? What's new? Who will take over as the Third Envoy? ”

Liu Xin looked at the two people behind him, and said in a low voice: "There is no news about the position of the head of Kou Province, but this morning the court asked Chen Zhizhong, the governor of Zhaofu who returned to Beijing to do business, to stay in the capital and take over the three divisions, isn't that the main change of officials in Kou Province?" It's just that the edict hasn't come down yet. - Deputy Envoy, I heard last night that the Academy was locked, will the Provincial Master of Kou be-"

"There's a big expulsion today?"

Liu Xin and the three of them looked at Xu Ping and nodded together, their faces solemn and slightly excited.

Xu Ping rubbed his head, a little confused by the current situation. I thought it was just my own departure, but I never expected that it would be a major change of blood for the entire Third Division, not only did I leave office, but Kou Ying also left the Third Division.

If there is really a great expulsion today, then nine times out of ten it will be Kou Xuan, and he will enter the two mansions to be the ruler and realize his dream. Whether it is for the governor or the privy councillor, it is extremely remarkable that a Ding Yudang has achieved this point.

It's normal for these three people to be excited, Sansi has been suppressed since the fall of Ding Wei, and this time Kou Yang can be promoted to Zaizhi has great symbolic significance, and Sansi is finally on the right track again.

After saying a few words about the changes in the government, Liu Xin looked at half of Xu Ping's covered face and asked, "I heard that the deputy envoy's condition has greatly improved, and now that he is wrapped in medicine, will he be well soon?" ”

"Yes, yesterday Imperial Physician Wang came to my house, removed the old lesions, replaced them with new medicines, and after a few more days, he will be able to break the root of the disease." Speaking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It just looks like there is no chance to recuperate anymore." ”

"Luoyang is not far away, and the deputy envoy has taken over his duties there, and he can still support him for a few days."

Xu Ping nodded: "That's all it can be." Later, when I arrive at Jingxi Road, the affairs of the Salt and Iron Division will be handed over to you, and we have worked hard this year, so don't let it down. ”

The three of them agreed together, and Zheng Jian asked: "Deputy envoy, if the provincial lord of Kou is promoted to the governor, then your official position ......?"

"I'm a straight bachelor of the Dragon Pavilion. Don't think about it too much, the merits of this year are seen by the imperial court, and the foreign appointment is just an errand change, and there is no derogatory meaning. Work hard, and there will be promotion. ”

The three of them sighed and nodded together, looking much more relaxed.

In terms of the order of dispatch, the transfer of the deputy envoy of salt and iron to the post of transfer envoy is equivalent to demotion. Although Xu Ping lacks this qualification, this time he has the intention of going out to make up for it, but there must always be a change in official position to show it.

From the Longtu Pavilion to be promoted to a straight bachelor, the official position is equivalent to a big step, which is a special grace, not something that ordinary people can get. The straight bachelor is from the third grade, and has reached the top of the officialdom. If it is said that the first level of the acolyte minister is specialized in doing rough work, the bachelor degree and above already hold great power, and the highly respected figure has a certain degree of decision-making power.

The straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion is called Xiaolong, and the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion is called Lao Long, which seems relative, but in fact, the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion is generally brought by the foreign master of Hanlin, and there is basically no chance of promotion if Hanlin is not appointed. The direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion was promoted to the direct bachelor of the privy council, and this step was basically close to the center, and the next step of normal promotion should be the ruling officer.

Xu Ping's official is the right Shilangzhong, and then he is promoted to the post that Xu Ping is now carrying, and he will be regarded as the right counselor. The right counsel doctor is the official of the two major provinces, unless he has great merit, or he has survived the seniority, otherwise he shall not be promoted. What Xu Ping did in the Third Division this year, in this era, it seems that he can't get the credit of being promoted to the official.

In fact, Xu Ping's visit to Jingxi Road this time was indeed not degraded, he was promoted to a straight bachelor, and he also took on a bunch of errands, and he was the most powerful transfer envoy in the various roads at this time. It's just that he was sent to a foreign post, and his status has not been reduced.

Jingxi Road is equivalent to the central and western parts of Henan Province and the northern part of Hubei Province in Xu Ping's previous life, and there are three important places under the rule of Henan Prefecture, Dengzhou and Xiangzhou, where Xijing and the Imperial Mausoleum are located, and geographically includes Luoyang Basin and Nanyang Xiangyang Basin, two areas with superior agricultural conditions. It's just that due to the war of the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, this area is the main battlefield, and the population has decreased sharply.

The transfer envoy is also graded, and the lowest one in the past was the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, which was also under the jurisdiction of Guangnan East Road. Although it is now independent, it is still at the bottom of Fujian, Sichuan Gorge and other roads. It is followed by Jinghu, Jingdong and other roads, and a little higher is Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang and other roads. The special status and geographical conditions of the Jingxi Road are second only to the three roads along the border, namely Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei, and it is the first among all roads in the mainland.

Last night, when she got the news that Xu Ping was going to take up a foreign post, Lin Suniang was silent, she knew that her husband wanted to take up a foreign post, but she didn't want it so soon. Because she was pregnant, she couldn't go with Lin Suniang immediately, but Xu Ping needed someone to take care of her. Now that Xiuxiu is older, she can't go to Lingnan like she did back then.

Zhang Sanniang was most concerned about whether her son's official was promoted or demoted, and after asking for a long time, she didn't understand the complicated official promotion system, but she knew that Xu Ping had gone from a fourth-rank official to a third-rank official, and she was sure that she was undoubtedly promoted.

This time, the personnel changes of the three divisions came too suddenly, and the intensity was far beyond Xu Ping's imagination, and his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts. If it is said that the ruler wants to deal with this disobedient yamen, but those who leave are all promoted, if they are promoted to reward merit, how can they change all the people?

After chatting with the three of them for a while, Xu Ping left the Salt and Iron Division and went to Kou Ying's official hall. On their own vacations, they, the three envoys who are about to leave and take office, must have news that they do not know.

When I arrived at the Governor's Hall, I found that Kou Ying was not there, and the whole yamen was full of joy. When I asked, I found out that sure enough, there was a change in Zaizhi. Because Sheng Du was too old, he had passed the addiction of Zaizhi, and he stepped down from his position as deputy privy envoy, and Kou Ying was promoted from the third envoy to the deputy privy envoy. The procedures for the removal of the worship were complicated, and Kou Ying was busy with his own going. Not to mention anything else, the pen fee of the grass Hanlin bachelor is a lot of money, and he has to hurry up to raise money.

was about to leave, and collided with Wang Bowen who came in outside.

Wang Bowen grabbed Xu Ping: "Deputy Envoy Xu is here, I'm looking for you everywhere!" Let's go, let's go together to meet the newly appointed Provincial Master Chen, the handover of the old and the new, and there are many things to ask you. ”

Xu Ping had no choice but to follow Wang Bowen and turned around and went back to the chief's hall.

After the official reported, he led the two to the small living room next to them. As soon as the tea came, Chen Zhizhong, the newly appointed envoy of the third division of Quan, walked in.

Chen Zhizhong is forty-five years old this year, in the prime of life, and entered the office with the grace of his father Chen Shu, not from Jinshi. Previously, he was a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and a master of Jingzhao Mansion in the Ministry of Works, and he had just been promoted to the right division of Langzhong when he was appointed as the third secretary of the power, and his official position was exactly the same as that of Xu Ping. His father, Chen Shu, was the longest-serving envoy of the Third Minister, and established the financial system in the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty, which was deeply relied on by Taizong Zhenzong and the two dynasties. Kou Zhun took over as the three envoys, and everything was subject to the old law.

In Zhenzong's later years, Chen Zhizhong first proposed the establishment of a prince, that is, Zhao Zhen. Because of this meritorious service, he has a special status in Zhao Zhen's heart, and he is promoted very quickly.

Xu Ping stepped forward to meet him with the courtesy of his subordinates, and Chen Zhizhong hurriedly supported him: "Since Yunxing has been appointed abroad, you and I have equal official positions, isn't this salute tormenting me?" Just treat each other as equals! ”

Xu Ping still didn't know what was going on with the personnel changes this time, so he couldn't say anything, so he sat down in the guest seat.

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Zhizhong ordered tea to be served, and said to Xu Ping: "Before, I was on Shaanxi Road, and I saw Han Zong, the transfer judge, and I praised Yun Xingji. The bridge road army in Yongzhou built bridges and paved roads there, and contributed a lot, which shows that Yunxing taught well. This time to the third division, only to check the accounts, after Yunxing returned to Beijing, the treasury was full, everyone said, since the first adult, the world's first financial management of the able minister, none other than Yunxing! ”

"The provincial lord is too dependent, a little credit, why is it too much? As for comparing to Jin Gong, I am far behind. ”

Chen Shu is good at financial management, and Taizong once wrote an inscription on the pillar in the hall: "True Salt and Iron Chen Shu". Although Xu Ping is also in charge of the Salt and Iron Division, and he is doing a good job, he is not yet qualified to be compared with Chen Shu.

Seeing that Xu Ping was restrained, Chen Zhizhong looked at Wang Bowen and said to Xu Ping with a smile: "Yesterday afternoon, I entered the palace with Wang Beizhi to see the driver, and today I have this appointment." Yun Xing guess, what did the Holy Lord say to us? ”

Xu Ping said: "How dare I guess the holy will? ”

Chen Zhizhong touched the black beard on his chin and said slowly: "Eight words, 'keep it and do not lose'!" (To be continued.) )
