Both father and son were sentenced to Ning Guofu

Soldiers and horses are in charge of Huizhou

On the recommendation of Chen Zhishan, Prime Minister of Zuo, at the end of the year, the Examination Institute passed the selection of Fan Zuliang and reported to the Chinese newspaper to change the official.

Up to now, the grinding of officials by the Ministry of Officials has become more and more complete, and civil officials are divided into "electors" and "Beijing officials". The selection of candidates must go through the grinding of three terms and six examinations, and rise up layer by layer. The term of office of each term is three years, and the examination is held once a year, and this process is called seniority. After the expiration of the grinding period, there must be people who are promoted from the selection of people to Beijing officials, and their official ranks and positions must reach a certain level before they are eligible for recommendation. The process is roughly as follows: the recommender sends the resume of the candidate he recommended to Nan Cao of the Ministry of Officials. Nancao is an auxiliary organization, whose function is to verify the resumes of the candidates, and if they believe that the candidates meet the regulations and can be transferred, they will integrate their resumes into an official document and send them to the Liunequan———, the department of officials in charge at the next higher level. After review, Liu Neiquan was indeed correct, and then sent back to Nan Cao, who gave a certificate to the candidate, and then submitted it to the Zhongshu Province for approval by the prime minister. This process is called "changing officials". Whether the selection of people can be changed as desired and promoted to Beijing officials is a crucial step, which needs to be discussed by all the ruling personnel, and there is no objection to the officials.

Deng Youlong, the palace attendant, proposed that Fan Zuliang's administrative performance was no problem, and he could be changed to a Beijing official, but the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the fierce general must be sent from the army, lacking the experience of the state and county.

The election system of this dynasty stipulates that if a person is changed to a Beijing official for the first time, he must first serve as a county official, which is called must be admitted. At the beginning of the Qing Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court issued an edict that in addition to the first three in the palace test and the first in the provincial test, all of them must be appointed as county orders. In April of the fifth year of Qingyuan, the imperial court promulgated the law of Liguan Li County, stipulating that those who have not yet completed their initial term of office must first sign a judgment before they are allowed to be county officials. In accordance with the principle that the county is not intended for Taiwan Province, Fan Zuliang entered Beijing as an official, missing an important link, and had no experience in the position of governor of the prefecture and county.

After a collective discussion, it was decided that Fan Zuliang would be changed to the governor of Huizhou Prefecture and the capital of soldiers and horses of Ningguo Mansion.

Huizhou Mansion (now Huangshan City, Anhui Province) and Ningguo Mansion (now Xuanzhou City, Anhui Province) both belong to Liangzhejiang West Road, which are two neighboring prefectures. This arrangement of the imperial court has its profound meaning.

Ningguofu as a first-class local government began in the second year of Gandao (1166), before which it was also known as Xuanzhou, Xuancheng County, and Ningguojun. Before Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan entered the palace, he was stationed in the area under the jurisdiction of the Ningguo Army. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, all the emperor's residence or birthplace before ascending the throne were upgraded to the "Fu" first-level local government, and Ningguo Mansion was born from this.

At this time, the sentence Ning Guofu was Zhao Fu, the king of Wuxing County, who was called Zhao Lu before, and Xu Guogong was Xu Guogong when Shaoxi was in Zen.

Half a year later, Fan Zuliang walked into the yamen of Ningguo Mansion for the first time, and Wang Zhao of Wuxing County stood up to greet him:

Fan-sama, please.

Fan Zuliang bowed his head, his front feet forward, his hind legs bent, and he bowed half-kneel: Hello the prince of the county, the lower official will give you a greeting.

Zhao Fu smiled: Lord Fan, please take a seat.

Wu Changshi and Wang Sima saluted Fan Zuliang.

At the request of Fan Zuliang, the party went to the East Courtyard Soldiers and Horses Supervision Division. The deputy superintendent of soldiers and horses led a cadre to greet each other in front of the ya. Deputy Supervisor Zhu took out the roster and various account books, and gave a brief report on the basic situation of the Soldiers and Horses Supervisor. In this way, Fan Zuliang can be regarded as taking office.

The next day, Fan Zuliang led his wife Ye Rongrong to visit the county king's mansion with gifts. Zhao Fu and Xu Guo's wife Qian went out to greet each other.

Zhao Fu said: I have long heard that Lord Zhao is coming, and this mansion is eager to see through, and many affairs in the future will depend on the support of adults.

Fan Zuliang got up and made a move, the prince of the county, don't be so polite, just call Weichen Zuliang. You are the prince, the thousands of miles of the Great Song Dynasty belong to your Zhao family, I am just a courtier, if there is anything, as long as Zu Liang can do it, it will be done.

In this case, I will call you Brother Zuliang, the Great Song Dynasty is the emperor's brother, and I am a courtier like you.

The king of the county is right, then let's do our duty as a courtier.

Accompanied by the prince and his wife, Fan Zuliang and his wife went into the backyard to visit the mother of the king of the county and the wife of Yue Guo, Bu Shi. The old lady was in her sixties, dressed modestly, and had always lived in a simple house.

Hearing that the person who came was Fan Chengda's son, he was a little excited. "Fan is a virtuous minister, and the emperor once praised him for having the style of an ancient minister."

In that year, when Zhao Kai was the king of Qing, Fan Chengda had served Zhao Kai, and the two got along well. It's a pity that Xiaozong didn't listen, and felt that Zhao Kai was too kind, a little indecisive, not as good as his younger brother Zhao Dan, who was brave and martial, and had the wind of achieving great things, so he gave up his head and set up his third son, Zhao Dan, as the prince.

When Zhao Kai was fourteen years old, he was made up as the deputy head of the right inner leading government, and then became the general of the right prison guard and the training envoy of the Guizhou regiment. After Xiaozong ascended the throne, he worshiped as the envoy of the Xiongwu Army and the king of Fengqing. In the third year of the dry road (1167), Prince Zhuangwen died of illness, and in February of the seventh year of the dry road (1171), Zhao Kai was crowned as the envoy of Xiongwu and Baoning Army, and entered the king of Wei, and sentenced Ning Guofu.

For such a huge palace change, Zhao Kai did not complain about the heavens and people, but sought his own government in his position, carefully governed the government, and cared about the people. When he first arrived at Ningguofu, King Wei found that his Ningguo Mansion sentence was just an ornament, and the imperial court appointed Changshi and Sima to divide Ningguofu together.

Twenty-five-year-old Zhao Kai knew the intention, and immediately played the emperor and said: "The minister was ordered to sentence Ning Guofu, and now he is appointed to the chairman of the board of directors Shi and Sima to manage political affairs, which is equivalent to putting me in the air." Moreover, a county has set up three ruling officials to judge the government, and the ministers are worried that they will harass the people because of the struggle for power and profit, which will only do harm but not benefit. The minister thought that Changshi and Sima were in charge of Qian Gu and litigation and espionage, and the matters they were in charge of should be submitted to the minister for approval, so that the relationship would be straightened out and conducive to rectification. ”

Xiaozong arranged this way, not only to find something to do for his son, but also afraid that he would not be able to handle government affairs and bring trouble to the local area.

Since Shaoxing, the polders in Xuanzhou and Taipingzhou have collapsed, the countryside is barren, and the tenants have flowed outdoors. After Zhao Kai took office, he attached great importance to the restoration of the polder. In the ninth year of Xiaozong's main road (1173), Xuanzhou repaired the old embankment of Huacheng and Huimin Erwei, which was more than 40 miles long, and more than 9 miles were newly built. These polders are tall and strong, and the elm willow is planted on the side of the water, which is enough to defend the wind and waves, and reap great benefits. Due to his outstanding achievements in repairing polders, Song Xiaozong personally issued an edict to reward him.

In the first year of Chunxi (1174), Zhao Kai changed his name to Mingzhou (present-day Ningbo City, Zhejiang), and he ordered the suspension of the land rents of the counties to which he belonged, and used these land rents to run schools. This has played a great role in promoting the development of local education.

In the seventh year of Chunxi (1180), Zhao Kai died in Mingzhou. Song Xiaozong mourned in the other hall, and gave Huainan Wuning Military Festival Envoy, Yangzhou Mu and Xuzhou Mu, "Huining", and the descendants combined their titles and nicknames together, called King Wei Huixian. At that time, this Zhao Fu was only ten years old.

Thinking of these past events, Mrs. Bu burst into tears, and the others were also sad.

Governor Fan, our county king is a responsible person, you have to be like your old father, help him a lot, let him do more things for the court. Please rest assured that the emperor will be loyal.

Rest assured, old lady, you will do whatever you have to do, as you always do, I know what I have to do.
