Although the governor has the final right to approve the list of famous scholars in Song Province, the final list still has to be sent to the emperor for examination and approval and final ruling, so it is not so much that Lin Xi and others are the chief examiners, it is better to say that the emperor is the chief examiner and the real chief examiner, no matter which time it is a tribute.

Prior to this, the list of famous jinshi had to be sent to Shangshu Province for consideration.

Before the reform of Song Yuanfeng, the Song Dynasty set up the Zhongshu, the Privy Council, and the three divisions to be in charge of the three major affairs of government, military, and finance, and the power of the prime minister was divided between the privy envoys and the three envoys. The power of the prime minister, the privy envoy, and the three envoys are on par with each other, and they are not in control. The power of the prime minister has been divided, and the governor's affairs have been set up to check each other, so the transfer of power and power, the system of six ministries in the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty has actually disappeared.

After the reform of Yuanfeng, the system of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty was restored, and the governors of the three provinces were placed, namely Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling and Menxia Shizhong. However, these three official positions are only fictitious and never conferred on people. Later, he imitated the Tang system, and used the left servant of Shangshu and the right servant to shoot on behalf of Shangshu Province; Shangshu's left servant shoots and serves as a servant under the door, acting as the servant; Shangshu's right servant is also the Zhongshu Shilang, acting as the Zhongshu Order, and they are the prime minister. At this time, the name of the governor was canceled, and four deputy prime ministers were added, namely the subordinate servant, the Zhongshu squire, the Shangshu Zuocheng, and the Shangshu Youcheng.

At this time, the imperial court only awarded the left servant of Shangshu to Zhang Dian and did not place the right servant of Shangshu, so at this time the Song court only Zhang Dian was the prime minister, almost the only minister, and Zhang Dian was also in power.

At the same time, Shangshu Province was also in the hands of Zhangdun, and the list of famous Jinshi was sent to Shangshu Province for review, that is, it needed to be sent to Zhangdun for consideration, and then submitted to the emperor for ruling.

The Song Privy Envoy Zeng Bu was in the house

After Lin Xi rushed into Zeng Bu's room with the list of the tribute in his arms, Lin Xi saw Zeng Bu splashing ink and practicing calligraphy?

"Ouch, Privy Counsellor, when has this been, do you still have this leisure?" Lin Xi complained anxiously.

"Huh? There you are? After Zeng Bu saw the anxious Lin Xi coming in, he slowly put the jade pen in his hand on the pen holder and asked with a smile: "Lin Gong, what's the alarm?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi hurriedly took out the list and Li Sanjian's answer sheet, spread it on the table and said to Zeng Bu: "Zeng Gong, you can take a look first." ”

Finalize the list? After Zeng Bu nodded to Lin Xi with satisfaction, he carefully took the list of rankings, and also carefully looked at Li Sanjian's test papers.

"If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark?" After Zeng Bu saw these eight words on Li Sanjian's answer sheet, he couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart.

Isn't this what Zeng Bu has always wanted to say, but he couldn't find a perfect opportunity to say to Zhao Xu? Zeng Bu never expected that this sentence would be written into the article by Li Sanjian and into a current policy.

"Who is this man?" Zeng Bu then asked.

Lin Xi rolled his eyes when he heard this, wasn't it clearly written on the scroll? Need to ask again?

However, although Lin Xi had doubts in his heart, he still replied: "This person is the son of Lingnan Guizhou, surnamed Li Sanjian, the word Hanren, only seventeen years old, his father died early, and there is a mother in the family. ”

"Su Shi's disciple?" When Zeng Bu heard this, he suddenly had a good impression of Li Sanjian in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked Lin Xi: "Why didn't the list be submitted to Shangshu Province?" ”

Lin Xi rolled his eyes again when he heard this, the old man worked hard, didn't he just wait for this day? If Zhang Duan is overthrown, Zeng Bu will inevitably rise to power, and he will be able to rise to the top, Lin Xi said secretly in his heart.

Lin Xi, who is now 60 years old, is a native of Fuqing Ximen on Fuzhou Road, and a Jinshi of Ding Youke Zhang Hengbang in the second year of Song Jiayou. He has served as a bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, a prefect of Chengdu, and a bachelor of the Senior Palace.

After Zhang Dian came to power, he once recommended Lin Xi as a scholar and participated in the revision of the "Records of the Divine Sect". Later, he moved to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the bachelor of Hanlin.

Therefore, Zhang Dian is kind to him, and the reason why Lin Xi wants to overthrow Zhang Dian is because Zhang Dian has not fulfilled his promise to Lin Xi to let him get the ruling position, so Lin Xi is holding a grudge and wants to bring down Zhang Dian to the throne.

Zeng Bu has always promised Lin Xi that as long as he can sit in the position of prime minister, then he will definitely promote Lin Xi.

Being able to sit in the ruling position is what Lin Xi dreams of.

"Zhang Zihou is at home." Lin Xi replied later.

Zeng Bu was secretly happy when he heard this, so that the list could be submitted directly to the emperor without going through Shangshu Province.

Zeng Bu then exchanged glances with Lin Xi and asked, "Hand it in?" ”

"This is exactly what Xia Guan meant, and he came to seek the meaning of Zeng Gong." Lin Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly replied.

"Well, that's it." Zeng Bu nodded.

Lin Xi responded happily, packed up the list and Li Sanjian's answer sheet, and wanted to turn around and go out.

"Lin Xianggong, slow down!" When Lin Xi was about to go out, Zeng Bu remembered something, so he stopped Lin Xi.

"Zeng Gong?" Lin Xi turned his head and asked suspiciously.

"The list is handed over to Lieutenant Officer Liang, no, you go and call Lieutenant Officer Liang over, I have something to say." Zeng Bu said after a moment of silence.

"Zeng Gong Gao Zhi." Lin Xi said after thinking about it. 187

Lin Xi has been in officialdom for many years, how can he not understand what Zeng Bu means at this time? If you want to bring down Zhangdu, how easy is it? An article alone is nothing short of a dream. If you want to bring down Zhang Xuan, you mainly have to look at the meaning of the current saint, and to understand Zhao Xu's thoughts, you have to go through the ministers around him.

After the list is submitted, if Zhao Xu still appoints Li Sanjian as the new science and technology jinshi, then it shows that Zhao Xu has loosened up, and perhaps it can be seen that Zhao Xu is dissatisfied with what Zhang Dian did, then at this time, Zeng Bu, Lin Xi and others can immediately arrange for the speech officials they control to impeach Zhang Xuan, and the situation may change at this time.

。。。。。。。。

Kaifeng Mansion Zhangdun Mansion

Zhang Dian, the word is thick, the number is Da Di Weng, there are two in sixty this year, the same year as Lin Xi, the Jianning Junpucheng people, Renzong Jiayou four years Jinshi and the first.

Zhang Yuanfeng was worshiped as the governor of the Song Dynasty in the third year, that is, the deputy prime minister. Zhang Dian supported Wang Anshi's reform, and when Yuan You was changed, he was beaten into the Yuanfeng Party, impeached by Liu Qing, Su Shi and others, and was deposed for seven or eight years.

After Shaosheng Shao's statement, Zhang Dian won the trust of Zhao Xu and was worshiped as the left minister, not the right minister, and Zhang Dian became the most powerful person in the entire Song Dynasty except for the emperor.

Zhang Dian has a straightforward personality and can't hide words in his heart, that is, a cannon barrel.

The straightforward personality often ignores the feelings of others and insists on going his own way. Zhang Dian was straightforward and selfless, never gave official positions privately, even to his own sons, all of them were sent to other places to be officials, and none of his sons and nephews were officials in the court.

Due to his advanced age and hard work in state affairs, he has been ill recently, and he has been sick at home for several days.

On this day, Zhang's illness improved, and he was admiring the fish in the pond to adjust his violent personality.

At this time, when Zhang Dian was leisurely admiring the pond fish, the housekeeper hurriedly walked to Zhang Dian and whispered a few words to Zhang Tun.

"Let him in." Zhang Dian then instructed the steward.

Xu Duo, one of the chief examiners of this tribute, actually sent someone to deliver the message during the lockdown of the hospital, which must be a big matter, so Zhang Dian wanted to meet this person despite the fact that his body had not fully recovered.

"Come on, change your clothes quickly, and the old man will enter the palace to face the saint." After hearing the intention of the comer, Zhang Dian immediately commanded.

When Zhao Xu first ascended the throne, he was suppressed by the Yuanyou party led by the Empress Dowager Gao for too long and too ruthlessly, and his heart was full of resentment. But as time goes by, as Zhao Xu's anger gradually dissipates, there seem to be signs of loosening in recent times, and at this time, Zeng Bu, who treats the Yuanyou party more gently, is more and more important, and the recall of Li Gefei and other Yuanyou people is the proof, so if Zeng Bu and others use this matter to make a big fuss at this time, it may be a big deal.

At this time, there must be no more accidents, Zhang Dian said secretly in his heart.

。。。。。。。。

Zhang Dian rushed to the palace to face the saint despite his illness, and saw Zhao Xu in the side hall, only to see that Zhao Xu was also full of illness, barely sitting on the throne and frowning at something, standing on the side Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Cai Jing, Xu Duo, Lin Xi, Liang Shicheng and others, Lin Xi was still talking about something.

"The old minister Zhang Dan knocked to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhang Dun took two steps tightly, bent his body deeply, and bowed his hand, Zhang Dan Shili's hands almost touched the gold bricks on the ground, sobbed, and choked up.

Zhang Dian exerted too much force, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhang Qing's family be careful." Zhao Xu exclaimed when he saw this.

"Come on, bring a chair to Zhang Qing's house." Zhao Xu then instructed Liang Shi to become enlightened.

"The slave obeys." Liang Shicheng answered, and then ordered his subordinate Xiao Huangmen to move the chairs.

When the Song Emperor summoned his ministers, the courtiers could only stand, so it was a great favor for the ministers to sit under the emperor.

"Is Zhang Qing's family cured?" Zhao Xu then asked with concern.

"Your Majesty cares so much about the old minister, the old minister is terrified." Hearing this, Zhang Dian hurriedly choked up and said: "The old minister's humble body is irrelevant, it is not worthy of Your Majesty, whether Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy or not, it is related to the Jiangshan Sheji, and the talent is related to the people of the world at the dawn of ten thousand trillion days, Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body." ”

I don't know if it's a true expression or a pretended gesture, Zhang Dan's two lines of tears suddenly flowed down his eyes.

Zhao Xu's eyes were also a little moist when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Qing's family is the minister of my humerus, and I must take care of it, the state affairs are heavy, Zhang Qing's family has worked hard to serve the country and the people, and the Qing family will definitely pay attention to their bodies in the future." ”

"Your Majesty" Zhang Dian's voice suddenly became much louder: "For Your Majesty, for my Heavenly Empire, and for Your Majesty's grand ambition, Yu Ju did his best and died." But the old minister does not dare to slack off at present, the reason is that there are people who are trying in vain to obstruct His Majesty's grand cause and to obstruct His Majesty's will to inherit his father and brother's will. ”

Zhang Dian said, and his eagle-like eyes swept towards Zeng Bu, Lin Xi, Cai Bian and others.

Cai Jing, who was standing on the side, secretly admired in his heart, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, Zhang Dian took the liberty of facing the saint, don't mention anything first, play the emotional card first, and the next thing, Lin Xi and others may be more auspicious.

At the same time, Li Sanjian's name left a deep imprint on Cai Jing's heart.
