Zhao Ran strictly obeyed the decree of the senior brother and went with peace of mind.

Back at the White Horse Courtyard, before he could sit down, Nie Dujiao and Fan Gaogong came to the door together.

Zhao Ran got up and welcomed: "Oh, when did the two of you come back?

Nie Dujiao briefly introduced a few words about going to Chongqing Mansion to participate in the Zhengdan Kaiguang Lent Jiao, and immediately pointed the topic directly at the party members: "Abbot, I heard that Li Yansi and other party members are in turmoil? How can this be?

Fan Gaogong also said on the side: "Abbot, is there any inside story in it? This matter should be handled cautiously, if you make a bad move, the entire Hongyuan will be eroded, abbot." ”

Zhao Ran asked: "Oh, do you have any inside information? Do you know something, Lao Fan? I am also worried about this matter, if you know why a few of them rebelled, please tell us as soon as possible, and we can recover the reported documents." ”

Fan Gaogong suddenly stopped: "This ...... Where do I know what's going on?"

Nie Du said unhappily: "Abbot, do you have any policy against the party members in our White Horse Courtyard? Abbot, you are new after all, and you don't know the inside story of Hongyuan, so don't be deceived by others." After all, in the past three years since Li Yansi and others entered the Ming Dynasty, they have been trying their best to suppress the party members, and they are still loyal to our Ming Dynasty, and they insist on accusing them of rebellion, I don't believe it. ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Have you read the file?"

Nie Duyan said angrily: "Lord Lu Fang didn't let him see it, saying that he wanted to wait for the abbot to come back and make the decision." I went to find Yuan Jian Yuan and Lei Du Kitchen, but they were not there, and Gu Duguan told me that they had gone to survey the geographical mountains and rivers, and they had not come back yet. ”

Zhao Ran patted the table and said: "This old Lu, why is he so rigid in doing things? Nie Du said that he was not angry, he was angry about this little thing, it was not worth it, I will criticize him when I go back, and let him give the file to the two of them, and the two of them can help sort it out and see if there are any shortcomings." ”

Master Lu Fang was immediately summoned to the study, and in front of the two, Zhao Ran asked him to bring the file over. Lord Lu Fang smiled a few words to Nie Dushu and Fan Gaogong, hugged a thick pile of documents, and asked the two of them to read them on the spot in Zhao Ran's study.

After watching for a long time, Nie couldn't speak, and Fan Gaogong's face was also very bad, and he hesitated and asked, "How is it possible...... Could it be ...... mistake?"

Lu Fang said: "Late that night, Zehui came to the door to expose Li Yansi and Qiangxiong, the abbot, the prison court, and the acquaintance were all there, and when they were arrested, the armor and crossbow found from the secret passage of the Li Mansion were also impressive, and they had all been reported to the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan with the documents. In addition, 583 stones of grain were deposited from Geyong Village, which was also registered and deposited in the regular position. The evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt. ”

In addition, Qiangxiong has been taken into custody by the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan, and Zehui, as the whistleblower, is now also in the Governor's Mansion, Li Yansi fled back to Xia with his family, and the above cannot be faked. The case has been transferred to the Governor's Palace, and we are still waiting for news on how to deal with it next. ”

The two of them never spoke again, but just looked at each other and muttered repeatedly: "How can it be so ......"

Seeing that these two were soft, Zhao Ran didn't care much about himself, waved his hand, let Lu Fangzhu go down, and then said: "That's it, these party leaders are thinking about their homeland, and it is understandable, we are blinded, and we are not ashamed." ”

Nie Dujiao and Fan Gaogong had no choice but to nod, and heard Zhao Ran smile and said: "By the way, speaking of which, Nie Dujiao and Fan Gaogong have the ability to appear in the Song Domain, and the name has entered the heart of the Du Prison of Tianhe Palace, hehe." Here's a good thing, congratulations to both of you. ”

"What's the matter?" the two men were puzzled.

"That's the case," Zhao Ran took out an official document from the bookcase and handed it to Nie Du, "Just after the New Year last month, the Tianhe Palace sent an official document to specially recruit two great talents to participate in an important matter. ”

Nie Du talked about it, turned it to Fan Gaogong in confusion, and asked: "This official document only says important matters, but it doesn't say what it is, I don't know if the abbot may reveal a thing or two?"

Zhao Ran shook his head: "I don't know, I guess it should be very important, so I won't write it in the official document." The two of you will know when you go, and I wish you two to give full play to their talents, show their talents, and make a great name for me in the White Horse Academy. ”

The official document stated that the time to report to Songzhou was the eighth day of the second month, and the time was already relatively tight.

Before leaving, Zhao Ran asked, saying that since the two of them were transferred for half a year, during this time, it would be more appropriate for the Jingtang to temporarily sign Gao Gong, and asked them to recommend it.

These two unanimously recommended Master Jia Jing, so Zhao Ran nodded with a smile, saying that he must consider it carefully.

After Nie and Fan left, Zhao Ran sat back on the bookcase and passed on the Taoist priest on duty to build the house: "Go and transfer Dong Jingzhu's file out for me to see." ”

......

In mid-February, two more acquaintances came to the White Horse Academy, and Zhao Ran asked Li Zhike to invite them into his study, looked up and said hello with a smile, and continued to bury his head in official business.

This reply is very important, it is about the question of Ningdeshou's hat, and I have to consider every word. After a series of operations and processes, the official document recommending Ning Deshou's promotion was finally transferred to his own hands by the commander of the Song Domain. Ning Deshou was the official of the Hongyuan Guard, and recommended to be promoted to the commander of the Song Domain, leading the Hongyuan Guard. Attached to the back is a pile of Ning Deshou's exploits and evaluations since he served as a thousand households.

The previous sign of the official document was signed by Xia Ji, the governor's office of western Sichuan, and the approval was to approve this proposal and report it to the Tianhe Palace for resolution.

The second sign was signed by Du Tenghui, and the approval was agreed, and it was reported to Xuanyuanguan for decision. Zhao Ran noticed that Du Teng would write "agree" instead of "to agree", which was to slowly withdraw his authority, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Otherwise, you can directly write "agree, report to Xuanyuanguan to know".

The third sign was sent from Xuanyuanguan, which was signed by Zhao Yunlou of the prison court: "Send the station Hongyuan, and consult the White Horse Academy." ”

Zhao Ran wrote a reply letter, with a total of eighty-six words, praising Ning Deshou well. After this reply is returned to Xuanyuanguan, if there is no accident, Zhao Yunlou will reply again, "agree, and report to the Sichuan Metropolitan Command and Envoy to know".

The Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan is set up in a war zone, and it stands side by side with the Sichuan Metropolitan Command and Embassy, and does not need to be approved by the Sichuan Metropolitan Command and Envoy, but only needs to be reported.

This is the completion of the first half of the promotion process.

Because Ning Deshou belongs to an officer with a level of more than 1,000 households, the final decision on his promotion is still in the Ministry of War, and after the Ministry of War agrees, it will be reported to the General Guan Fangtang for verification.

Therefore, the second half of the procedure is in Beijing, and Ning Deshou will go to Yingtian to conduct a simple interview in the Ministry of War. This level is basically fine, and if there are no accidents, the staff will not deliberately embarrass the place.

Write the reply and attach it to the back of the official document, Zhao Ran asked the Taoist priest to send it out as soon as possible, then he rubbed his face and said to the two acquaintances: "It's slack!"
