Just when Fan Zhongyan was secretly collecting Lu Yijian's black materials and preparing to make a big news, Fang Zhongyong returned to Beijing in a very low-key manner.

This shows that Fang Zhongyong is not the material to do big things.

I heard that I had a son, and the people of Taizhou didn't care about it, and the salted fish business was gone, so they were anxious to return to Beijing. Yan Shu was helpless, and under some operation, Fang Zhongyong was able to return to Beijing smoothly.

However, because the planted peach tree has not fully grown, Fang Zhongyong in order to prevent people from going to tea cool, uh no, people are dead, phew, it's not right. In order to maintain the continuity of the policy and ensure that the interests of the people are not lost, Fang Zhongyong recommended Mei Yaochen to take over his position to the Liangzhejiang Road Economic and Pacification Division, which made the group of friends who were waiting to pick peaches very disappointed.

Mei Yaochen is known as a virtuous person in Liangzhejiang Road, and his rank is also appropriate, and he will soon be written by Liangzhejiang Road and reported to the imperial court, planning to appoint Mei Yaochen "Quanzhi Taizhou".

Mei Yaochen didn't dare to think that such a good thing would fall on his head, and he greatly expressed his gratitude and loyalty. Fang Zhongyong is indispensable, as long as Mei Yaochen can continue his policy, Xiao Guicao can do it immediately. Of course, if Mei Yaochen was indeed a capable person, and he didn't think about digging the peach tree into his own field, Fang Zhongyong wouldn't mind doing a small favor to remove the word "quan" from his head.

He also secretly summoned Uncle Zhong, Da Xiong and other henchmen, and seized the time to train capable people to ensure that there were no problems in the production and sales of salted fish and that the armor protection system could continue.

Uncle Zhong naturally has no problem, agrees to it all, does not mention any opinions and conditions, and is a good employee.

The big bear is not good, and he said, "Young master, is there something wrong with what I did?" Don't you want me anymore? ”

How did it look like I had given up in the first place?

Fang Zhongyong said angrily: "You train your armor well, and strive to find a set of experience to ensure that it can be promoted to other places, young master, I will be of great use in the future." You should also take good care of those orphans and cultivate them vigorously. After a while, you can lead them to a walkthrough. In the future, if some bandits need to be killed, they can also see blood.

Don't worry, the long is three or five years, and the short is two or three years, young master, I will lead the troops. When the time comes, whether you will be a pioneer or a horse will depend on your performance in the past few years.

Moreover, although you are brave, you are still only a novice when it comes to marching and fighting, so you can usually read more about the art of war, and you can also ask Jiao Zan and other veterans for advice and think carefully. In the past few years, it is not only a tempering of your heart, but also a test of whether you have the ability to take charge of yourself. Do your best, and don't slack off! ”

Da Xiong just didn't want to stay in Taizhou alone, and he was already very happy to hear that there were other generals with him. To be honest, Fang Zhongyong's heart-wrenching words and his ruthless palm technique left a psychological shadow on him. Under normal circumstances, he is unwilling to face Fang Zhongyong alone. He always felt that Fang Zhongyong seemed to be able to read through his mind, and there seemed to be a demon hidden behind that seemingly smiling expression.

No, Fang Zhongyong's familiar smile appeared again: "You do it well, and it will be okay to seal your wife and shadow in the future!" Even the privy envoy is not unexpected. I will also let Jiao Zan and others help you, I am optimistic about you! ”

Da Xiong fought a cold war, whether he is optimistic or optimistic, it depends on his personal understanding. When will I be free? The Great Bear roared inwardly.

Immediately, Fang Zhongyong summoned Song Dafeng, Wang Baochang and other peripheral personnel, but they were still the same, carrots and sticks. If you are obedient, you will give carrots, and if you are disobedient, you will be allowed to try the power of the stick.

Everything is arranged, and we will leave for Beijing.

It's just that Fang Zhongyong was not recalled to Beijing after serving for one or two years as usual, although his political achievements were outstanding, Zhao Zhen was also cautious, and he was not promoted according to the convention, let alone a gift package that was promoted to three levels in a row, and only gave a "secretary and young eunuch" from the fifth grade of the Qing noble.

Of course, this is Fang Zhongyong's understanding of the officialdom, Yan Shu, as an old bird, is very disdainful of his ignorance: "A magistrate who has not seen an official family for a hundred years, every day for His Majesty to ask the right noble, which is the most noble?" ”

At the same time, Fan Zhongyan's black materials about Lu Yijian have also been collected, and a far-reaching annual drama is about to begin.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, all the yamen were still in the joy of the New Year's Festival and did not return their souls, so Fan Zhongyan threw out the blockbuster ** "Hundred Officials".

The so-called "Hundred Officials", the full name of which is "Hundred Officials Promotion Order Map", is not a picture of a hundred officials, such as "Hundred Deer Picture" and "Hundred Sons and Babies Play" are generally auspicious.

Lao Fan is not a painter, nor is he a joker, the picture he presents is actually a diagram of the relationship between characters, or a tree diagram is more appropriate.

At the court meeting one day in February, Fan Zhongyan, who was in charge of Kaifeng government affairs, showed his works to hundreds of civil and military officials and made a generous statement: "Please see the officials, please see your colleagues." This is a game in his leisure time after taking charge of Kaifeng Mansion. There is a certain high-ranking official in the current dynasty, and there are countless protégés, and it is always not easy to take care of everything. As the saying goes, five fingers are not the same length when they stretch out. Besides, there are always relatives who are far and near, and there are always relatives who are close to each other?

In this case, this high-ranking official came up with a method, those who are close will be promoted to the front, and those who are estranged will be promoted to the back. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the picture and explained one by one: "This is the order of relocation, this is not the time, so is public, and so is private." In addition, those who are overqualified should not be appointed as prime ministers. ”

The whole court was stunned by Fan Zhongyan.

You are forty-five years old, and you have been trained in the local area for many years, and you are not a sudden lucky guy like Fang Zhongyong (standing next to the emperor, Fang Zhongyong, who is ready to participate at any time, is my business!). ）。

Isn't it human nature to give priority to one's closeness? As for your generous words here, making everyone's faces look bad?

Yes, you want to remove the name of Prime Minister Lu Yijian in a cover-up, but everyone is an acquaintance, and as far as you say, who doesn't know which subordinate they are from. Is it really good for you to offend Lu Yijian, who is a second phase and has deep roots?

Fang Zhongyong was even more stunned.

Which of the two of us crossed over? When did you learn how to draw a character relationship diagram on your own, and you still know that there is a truth in a picture?

Fan Yan, who was a lackey of Lu Yijian's door and had just been named and scolded by Fan Zhongyan, said angrily: "I don't know what the basis of Lord Fan is, isn't it a nonsense accusation?" ”

Fan Zhongyan did not hesitate: "You are also worthy of the surname Fan?" However, a lucky villain with a noble relative, what face was born in the world, and he dared to argue above this court. The old man is nearly half a hundred years old, and he has never seen such a brazen person! ”

Fortunately, Fan Yan is young, and there is nothing wrong with the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, otherwise he would have to be scolded to vomit blood and die.

Lu Yijian saw that the number one double-flowered red stick was not Fan Zhongyan's opponent, so he retreated and said: "The minister is guilty, and the minister begs for bones!" "Then take off the official hat, put it on the ground, and kneel down to receive the holy judgment.

Looking at Lu Yijian's white hair, thinking of Lu Yijian's various benefits, Zhao Zhen's heart softened. And he was not used to this kind of face-to-face scene, Wen Yan asked: "Is Fan Aiqing exaggerating?" When Lu Aiqing is in charge of the country, he is still extremely psychological. A slight deviation in employment is not a big deal, so that there is a good life and grinding. ”

Fan Zhongyan's fiery temper was offended, but his brother's eyes couldn't tolerate sand, and he said in a horizontal heart: "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time." ”

Zhao Zhen was furious: "Bold! What kind of grudge do you have with the prime minister, and you actually slander the important ministers of the court like this? Dare to insinuate that I am the Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty who died in the country? If it weren't for your sincerity, you would have been handed over to the guilty party! ”

Fan Zhongyan said with emotion: "Anything that is beneficial to the society of the imperial court must be said impartially, even if there is a disaster of killing, it will not hesitate." If there is a trace of selfishness, he is willing to be punished by the wok! ”

Zhao Zhen laughed angrily: "Good, good, very good!" You are a loyal minister dedicated to the country, I am the Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty who died in the country, no, now it's Xia Wei Shang, right! Come! ”

Yan Shu, who ate melons all the way, was taken aback and wanted to say something to consol. Although Fan Zhongyan's temper came up, no one dared to scare him, but what people said was right, Lu Yijian's power was indeed greater. Otherwise, maybe we can mix it up too, right?

Fang Zhongyong, who ate melon seeds all the way, was taken aback, if such a "No. 1 person in the Great Song Dynasty" was clicked by Zhao Zhen in a rage, it would be a great loss for the country and the people! You Zhao Zhen still want to give the nickname of "benevolence", go dream!

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Chen Lin whispered to Zhao Zhen: "The official family is angry, don't make a decision!" If you are a little careless, I am afraid that it will damage the name of benevolence of the official family! ”

Zhao Zhen hated and hated: "Such an invitation to a famous and straightforward person, I am so sorry for me to trust him so much!" ”

Chen Lin said again: "Let's look at Lu Xiang's methods!" ”

Fang Zhongyong's ears are very good, and he looks at this pair of masters and servants who are not sunny at all, and he is very disdainful. Secretly pouted and said in his heart, there is no good thing.

After dispersing, I got off work, went to my father-in-law's house to drink tea, and ate some melon seeds by the way, uh no, talk about the situation.

Yan Shu smiled: "Zhong Yong is a little disappointed in the old man? ”

Fang Zhongyong replied, "Why did Lord Taishan say this? The son-in-law didn't dare. ”

"Don't dare, not nothing, right? Do you know my relationship with that Fan Xiwen? ”

Fang Zhongyong nodded. You were scolded by others last time, and you also left a heroic essay of "The Book of the Senior Minister", as a good student with excellent character and learning, I don't know, is it not appropriate?

Yan Shu said: "Back then, although I had the grace of knowing Fan Xiwen, it was actually nothing. It was not right for others to put him under my door. Besides, Brother Xiwen is still two years older than me, how can I dare to be his teacher? ”

Fang Zhongyong said in his heart: In terms of historical status, you are indeed immoral and incompetent to be someone's teacher, and I am afraid that it will be a shame for others to be your teacher. Look at what you did today, eat melons all the way, and the old politician's face is undoubtedly exposed. I eat melon seeds, isn't it because people are soft-spoken, except for giving each other a head and increasing experience points? If I were the prime minister, uh, it seems that I would not be able to calmly let others attack!

Yan Shu knew that he had lost points in front of his juniors, so he patiently saved face: "That Fan Xiwen is stubborn and self-serving, and he likes to be straightforward the most." But he shouldn't have said much about the establishment of the prince, this is the official family's reverse scale, how can it be touched? ”

Ouch, and the inside story?

Fang Zhongyong's interest came: "Please teach Taishan!" ”

Yan Shu smiled: "If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid I will be slandered by you for a long time!" Anyway, I haven't even told Fu Bi about this, and you must not leak it. According to the news in the palace, don't look at me like that, and I won't tell you whose news it is, you just need to know that everyone is doing this. According to the news in the palace, Fan Xiwen made a secret letter a few days ago, advising the official family to have no children, and he should set up a royal brother as soon as possible, so as not to have something unbearable to say! ”

"This two hundred and five!" Fang Zhongyong couldn't help but burst into foul language at Fan Shengren.
