Chapter 234: Unprecedented Courtesy
Yu Jing was transferred to Lingnan to quell the rebellion, and Bao Zheng, who had made many meritorious contributions, was promoted to the transfer envoy of Hedong Road, and concurrently served as the prefect of Hejian. In the past www.biquge.info, the center of gravity of Hedong Road was in the Daimyofu, but this time it was placed in Hejian Mansion, obviously Wang Ning'an's series of tosses in Pingxian County has produced an effect, Pingxian, Cangzhou, and Hejian Mansion have become the new economic center of Hebei. With the success of this peace negotiation and the prosperity of commerce and trade, Hejian will usher in a better tomorrow, and Bao Zheng's economic ability is far inferior to Wang Ning'an.
"Erlang, you should come up with a plan as soon as possible, and the old man will implement it immediately, and you must not miss the golden opportunity."
Wang Ning was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Lord Bao, I am the magistrate of Ping County, your subordinates, it should be an adult who comes up with a strategy, and I will do it, how can the situation be reversed?" ”
"Hmph, don't pretend to be confused for me, you have made such a big contribution this time, and there has been a rumor in the court."
"What's the wind?" Wang Ningan said curiously.
"Of course I want to reuse you."
"Just kidding!" Wang Ningan shook his head like a rattle, he was not yet sixteen, and he was not born on the right path in Kejia, he could be a magistrate, he was already promoted unusually, and he had to give himself a promotion, when did the officials of the Great Song Dynasty become so worthless!
Bao Zheng also sighed, of course he didn't have the heart to tease Wang Ning'an, there was indeed a rumor in the imperial court, and it was Zhao Zhen who personally said it to Ouyang Xiu to let Wang Ningan take charge of the three divisions and manage the finances for the imperial court.
"Congratulations to Lord Wang, from now on becoming a prime minister, Xiao Wang wants to respect you as a prince." Zhao Zongjing has no heart and no lungs.
Wang Ningan lay down directly, "Let's not tease, okay!" The three envoys are second only to the governor, and they must be officials of the five grades or above in the two provinces under the Zhongshu Sect to fill the position, and most of the three envoys can enter the east and west and become the prime minister, even if I am given another ten years, I am not qualified to be the third envoy, rumors, absolutely rumors! ”
Zhao Zongjing scratched his head, "It seems reasonable, is Master Bao mistaken?" ”
"You can't go wrong." Bao Zheng sighed: "Erlang only knows one and doesn't know the other, although my Great Song Dynasty has strict regulations, there is also a back door to go." ”
"How?" Zhao Zongjing asked curiously.
"I subdivide the names of the three envoys, but they are different, there are three envoys, three divisions, and three divisions, these must be high-ranking officials, and there are some, such as the three divisions of the right to point inspection, the three divisions of the right to make official affairs, the right to send three envoys, etc., but you can use officials with less seniority. With Erlang's merits, it is reasonable to even be promoted to three levels, as for the fame of Kejia, His Majesty can give it to him...... All in all, as long as His Majesty is willing, Erlang can enter the Third Division and take charge of the financial power of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wang Ningan didn't know much about the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zongjing was even more confused, and after listening to Bao Zheng's explanation, he was dumbfounded, my God, you can still play like this!
Wang Ningan's head was big, "I said Master Bao, do we have a lot of credit this time?" Is it worth Your Majesty to be so desperate? ”
"Hahaha, Erlang, don't underestimate yourself, you go to Liao, one or two silver coins have not increased, and the Liao market has been opened, and the face has been earned, in contrast, the old man is willing to bow down, ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself......"
It's rare that the iron-faced and selfless Bao Heizi actually learned to praise people, which made Wang Ningan at a loss all the way.
In fact, Wang Ningan was really nervous, he was very reluctant to manage a county, and he was really not ready to become an official.
Moreover, at a young age, he suddenly rose to a high position, and it was not so easy to become an official in Beijing, and the huge bureaucratic system could not be commanded by any person.
People don't need to oppose it openly, as long as they disobey and pass the buck, they can make you lose your temper at all. The result is a waste of life, talent and energy.
Of course, there are all kinds of disadvantages in entering Beijing to be an official, but one thing is incomparable, that is, being able to get close to the emperor from time to time, being in the heart of the empire, what decisions there are, the ins and outs, are clear, and even have the opportunity to participate in it, which is an unbelievable experience.
All in all, the benefits are obvious, and the disadvantages are equally obvious.
It's a bit hard to decide what to do.
Wang Ningan thought all the way, and the brigade arrived outside Bianliang City, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
……
"Lord Qiyu, my lord, the imperial court has sent a suburban greeting team, which is ten miles away from Bianjing, waiting for the driver."
"Suburbs?"
Even if Zhao Zongjing is white-eyed, he also knows that this is the courtesy that the Son of Heaven can only have to greet the great hero, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's personal greeting?
The little prince was so frightened that he was at a loss, Wang Ningan asked a few words carefully, and then he figured out that it was not Zhao Zhen who personally came out to greet him, but sent Fu Bi to lead the team, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, with dozens of clan disciples to follow, to welcome Zhao Zongjing and Wang Ning'an back.
After listening, Wang Ningan finally came to his senses.
When he first went to Liao, Zhao Yun was reluctant to send his son, and now Zhao Zongjing returned with honor and won a big victory. Let Zhao Yunrang take his son out, just to take a good look at what is a responsible descendant of the Zhao family.
This slap was hard enough, of course, Zhao Yunrang deserved it, and he didn't deserve sympathy at all.
It's just that Zhao Zongjing's old face was red, he went to Liao this time, purely to play soy sauce, big and small affairs, all of them were handled by Wang Ning'an, and Wang Ning'an threw money everywhere, and the Liao Kingdom was regarded as a guest, and he didn't embarrass them at all, except for the few days when he was imprisoned by Yelu Hongji, the rest of the time was extremely chic, and the small life was very comfortable.
If this is also a big credit, wouldn't it be laughing off the big teeth.
It was already a fluke to be able to get the title of county king, and it was even more laughing to death if the prime minister came out to greet him.
Zhao Zongjing's face was full of embarrassment, and he said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "This ...... Can you reply to Your Majesty and say that Xiao Wang deserves to be deserved and canceled the suburbs? ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites almost vomited blood, "Don't joke with the prince, the rich minister and the king of Runan are waiting, and the next official will retire." ”
For fear that Zhao Zongjing would say something stupid, people would quickly slip away.
As a result, Wang Ningan and Zhao Zongjing were left, staring at each other with big eyes.
Wang Ning'an was ruthless enough, he gritted his teeth, "It's not that the big girl is unsightly!" Just go, we deserve it anyway! ”
Zhao Zongjing's face turned red, and he whispered: "You deserve it, I, I can't afford it......"
Wang Ningan couldn't get used to his twisting and pinching, "What kind of garlic to pretend, don't divide you and me if you are brothers!" ”
Zhao Zongjing was suddenly shocked and exclaimed, "Do you treat me as a brother?" ”
"Nonsense!" Wang Ningan said angrily: "When Nelugu drew his sword against me, you were the first to draw your sword and go toe-to-toe with him, and from then on, you are my brother!" Otherwise, I will tell you so many terrible things along the way? Unless- you look down on me, think I can't climb up. ”
"It's me who climbs high." Zhao Zongjing blushed in shame, "Erlang, except for the identity of the royal family, I am nothing compared to you." ”
Wang Ningan blinked, and suddenly smiled: "At least you still have self-knowledge!" That's pretty good. ”
In the next second, Zhao Zongjing screamed strangely, and punched it!
"Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense with your brother!"
Wang Ningan hurriedly dodged, the two of them chased after me, ran out of the way, restrained the war horse, and looked forward, only to see a large area of black pressure, which was the people who were ordered to greet them.
In addition to the officials, there are many people in the capital, and there are also Cao Tong and other generals, who can't see the end at a glance.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Zongjing suddenly sighed, he squinted his eyes, and said a little angrily: "Erlang, when we left Beijing, how many people sent us?" When I came back, there were so many people, and it was really warm and cold, and the officialdom appeared. It's boring, it's really boring! ”
Zhao Zongjing looks old-fashioned, even Wang Ningan has this kind of sigh, the big husband can't be without power for a day, if Zhao Zhen must promote himself, he can't do it without tasting it, I, Wang Ningan, am no worse than anyone else, even if there are more obstacles, I have to turn the world upside down, let them know how good I am!
went to Liaoguo, Wang Ningan is indeed a little different, in the past, he was cautious, encountered things, always wanted to hide behind his back, this time he has enough confidence, come on, let the storm be more violent!
He and Zhao Zongjing came almost side by side, and in front of them, there was a big banner with the words "Jiyin County Wang Tongzhongshu Men Pingzhang Shi Zhao".
The banner faces the sun, dazzling, every word is clear and dazzling.
Zhao Zongjing looks pretty good, and he rides a tall horse, dressed in military uniform, and he has done nothing else in Liao, but he has practiced his riding skills, moving forward steadily, and his bearing is extraordinary.
Immediately attracted countless cheers, the gongs and drums on both sides sounded, the drum music shook the sky, stepping on the paved loess road, Zhao Zongjing was like a king, from far and near, came quickly.
Among the welcoming crowd, the most embarrassing was the Runan Wang family, there was a young man who clenched his fists, he was Zhao Yunrang's thirteenth son, Zhao Zongshi, who was raised in the palace in his early years!
This glory belongs to him, it is his! Now that he was snatched away by Zhao Zongjing, he was full of anger and furious!
The younger generation of the clan, only he is the best, no one else is worth mentioning, and only he can inherit the throne, Zhao Zongshi never doubted this.
But what embarrassed him was that he was the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, and Zhao Zongjing was already the king of the county who was on a par with his father, leaving the other clan disciples far behind.
And after this outskirts, Zhao Zongjing's name must be known to everyone, and when people mention the children of the clan in the future, they will definitely think of this Zhao Zongjing who dares to envoy to the Liao State and does not disgrace his mission!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zongshi's heart tightened for a while, and his little white face was blue.
Suddenly, a big hand grabbed Zhao Zongshi's arm, and Zhao Zongshi hurriedly looked at it, it was his old father, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan.
"Don't be afraid, he can't make the climate!"
Zhao Yunrang said in a voice that the two of them could only hear, and Zhao Zongyong nodded vigorously. At this time, Fu Bi had already stepped forward, came to Wang Ning'an, and took the reins of the horse with his own hand, and at this moment, all eyes fell on this young man!
