May 22, Summer Palace.

The matter of Handan City was gently put down by Ouyang Shuo, because it was expected.

In the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo was discussing with the first assistant of the cabinet about the arrangements for Ouyang Xiu, Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang. As for the two military generals, Yue Fei and Zhang Shijie, according to the usual rules, they will first study in the army martial arts hall for one month, and then arrange for temporary posts in the Praetorian Guard, and then arrange suitable posts when the army is reorganized next time.

A few years ago, in the annual evaluation arranged by the Officials' Administration, five county guards only barely passed the evaluation, and they were included in the list of dismissals at any time by Ouyang Shuo.

However, because there is no suitable successor, it has been delayed.

Jiang Shang meant that three people could be arranged to take over the post of county guard. Ouyang Shuo thought about it for a while, but did not fully adopt Jiang Shang's opinion, and only agreed to delegate Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang.

"Ouyang Xiu should be placed in the middle of the court, so that he can exert his influence in the Song Dynasty." Ouyang Shuo said.

Jiang Shang was stunned, but he didn't think about it so much, and said ashamedly: "The king thinks about Zhou Xiang, and the old minister is ashamed." ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Elder Ge thinks it's more appropriate to put Ouyang Xiu?" Although this person is famous, he is also embarrassed to take on a big job, and he needs to choose a suitable position. ”

This is also the secret conversation between the monarch and the minister, Ouyang Shuo will not say it so bluntly.

Jiang Shang's control of the court was already quite sophisticated, and he knew all kinds of personnel in his heart, and after a little thought, he said: "The old minister has the courage to start playing, and Ouyang Xiu can be awarded the post of director of science, education, culture and health." ”

Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment and nodded with satisfaction, the dynasty's science, education, culture and health work has been on the right track under the auspices of Su Zhe, and there is no need to make drastic innovations, which is just right for Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world.

Jiang Shang does have a set of people.

"How should Su Zhe be arranged?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Su Zhe is in charge of the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, so naturally he can't just kick it away. If Su Zhe is delegated to the locality, according to the grade of Su Zhe from the three grades, except for the governor, it will be demoted.

That's a bit of a problem.

Jiang Shang had already calculated clearly, and replied: "The old minister suggested that Su Zhe be transferred to the Secret Pavilion and serve as a bachelor of the Secret Pavilion. ”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, Jiang Shang's proposal was very much in line with his thoughts.

As the affairs of the dynasty became more and more heavy, the burden on Tsing Yi, the scholar of the Secret Pavilion, became heavier and heavier, although the Secret Pavilion added four secretaries to assist Tsing Yi, but it was still too busy.

Transferring Su Zhe to enter the Secret Literature Pavilion is undoubtedly a clever move.

Although Su Zhe is not as good as his brother Su Shi, the great writer, in terms of literary talent, he has a keen insight and pragmatic measures in politics, which is very suitable for the Secret Literature Pavilion.

With Su Zhe's assistant, Tsing Yi can be much easier.

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Shuo suddenly asked, "How is Feng Qingyue's performance in Shu Province?" ”

It has been more than half a year since Feng Qingyue assisted Tian Wenjing, the governor of Shu, to clear the hidden dangers of Shudi, and Ouyang Shuo was thinking that the test of Feng Qingyue should also come to an end.

The line of the Feng family, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to tear it off like this.

Jiang Shang replied: "According to the monthly report from Tian Wenjing, the governor of Shudi, he is still very satisfied with Feng Qingyue, and he is not stingy with beautiful words, some time ago Tian Wenjing also proposed to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will officially appoint Feng Qingyue as a subordinate official of the governor's yamen. ”

"Oh?"

Ouyang Shuo was really a little surprised.

Tian Wenjing is a cold-faced governor, since he took the initiative to mention this matter, it is enough to prove that Feng Qingyue's work for most of the year has been recognized by Tian Wenjing.

Speaking of which, Feng Qingyue can really bear it, for most of the past half a year, Ouyang Shuo has almost ignored her, and Feng Qingyue is not emotional, but silently does her duty in Shudi.

What a strange woman.

Ouyang Shuo joked: "It seems that our cold-faced governor is cold-faced and hot-hearted." ”

Jiang Shang smiled stiffly, he couldn't hear whether the meaning of the king's words was praise or depreciation, so he didn't dare to respond positively, and asked cautiously: "What does the king mean?" ”

Ouyang Shuo restrained his smile and said lightly: "Since Feng Qingyue has been approved by his boss, he really can't just hang it up, and immediately make an order to transfer Feng Qingyue to the Secret Pavilion and temporarily serve as the secretary." ”

Regarding Feng Qingyue, Ouyang Shuo was still ready to investigate again, and was not in a hurry to draw conclusions. After all, Feng Qingyue was born in the six major families, and she couldn't be too cautious about such a sensitive person.

Of course, once this person is used correctly, it will be a milestone event for Great Xia.

"No!"

Jiang Shang nodded, and then he understood why the king suddenly asked about Feng Qingyuelai.

Taking the opportunity of supplementing Su Zhe to follow the trend of Qingyue, Ouyang Shuo made a small adjustment to the Secret Pavilion, and officially appointed Tsing Yi as the Master of the Secret Pavilion, which was clearly the head of the Secret Pavilion Scholars, which was equivalent to the official of the institution.

Of course, the grade of Tsing Yi is still the fourth grade.

The nature of the Secret Literature Pavilion was destined for Ouyang Shuo not to give it too high a grade.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also ordered to further expand the Secret Pavilion, adding six secretaries at one time, in addition to the associate secretary of the Cabinet, each cabinet elder is equipped with a full-time secretary Lang, hanging in the Secret Pavilion.

Unlike the four courtyards, in addition to the three cabinet elders, there is no clerk to deal with copywriting, and all the affairs of the cabinet need to be handled by the three cabinet elders themselves.

However, the elders of the pavilion have reached their old age, and their energy is inevitably low.

Ouyang Shuo assigned a secretary to the cabinet this time, precisely to share the worries of the cabinet elders, assist the cabinet elders in handling documents, and at the same time hang the secretary Lang in the secret pavilion, which is equivalent to strengthening the control of the cabinet in disguise.

It's a win-win-win-win

Jiang Shang naturally didn't have any opinion on this, but kept thanking Wang En.

…………

In the afternoon of the same day, the imperial court issued a series of appointments and dismissals.

Ouyang Xiu was appointed director of the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health, Lu Xiufu was appointed as the governor of Annan Province, and Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the county guard of Fengtian County in Northern Xinjiang Province.

Lu Xiufu's visit to Annan is enough to prove how much Ouyang Shuo attaches importance to him.

This time, taking the opportunity of adjusting the county guard, Wen Tianxiang was placed in the Northern Xinjiang Province, in addition to trusting Wen Tianxiang's talents, there was also Ouyang Shuo's intention to balance the influence of the Northern Xinjiang Province.

Since the incident of searching for the dragon's point, Ouyang Shuo has deeply understood a truth, people's hearts will change. The best way to keep the people under his command from changing their minds is not to give them a chance to change their minds.

Before the temptation is revealed, cut it off decisively.

Taking the Pillar as an example, as the former lord of the Stubborn Stone City, the Hammer has been cultivating in the Northern Xinjiang Province for four years, and has already infiltrated all aspects of the Northern Frontier.

If Ouyang Shuo did not check and balance, even if he didn't have that mind, over time, under the direct or indirect influence of his subordinates, relatives and friends, it would gradually cause a big tail in the northern Xinjiang province.

When that time comes, it will not be a good thing for Great Xia, or even for Tun Shan himself.

This time, Wen Tianxiang was transferred to the northern Xinjiang province, which was not only a check and balance on the block, but also a disguised protection of the block. Ouyang Shuo believes that with his intelligence, he should be able to figure out the meaning of this.

In addition to the three new civil officials, the imperial court also had other appointments and dismissals.

Promoted the bachelor of the Secret Pavilion Tsing Yi to the bachelor of the palm seal of the Secret Pavilion, relieved Su Zhe of the post of director of the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health, transferred to the bachelor of the Secret Pavilion, and officially transferred Feng Qingyue to the secretary of the Secret Pavilion.

At the same time, at the behest of the king, the cabinet will also organize an internal selection to select six secretaries with both ability and political integrity for the Secret Pavilion.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition shook.

As the central institution closest to the king, although the secret pavilion is not of high grade, it is a ladder for the promotion of young officials. Being selected and transferred to the Secret Pavilion as a secretary means that he has been recognized by both the king and the cabinet.

Coupled with the special functions of the Secret Pavilion, serving here can not only increase knowledge and contact the core secrets of the court, but also have a lot of opportunities to contact the ministers of the court.

But as long as you can train in the Secret Pavilion for a year or two, there is no problem at all with the release of the county guard.

In this way, how can it not cause a sensation in the government and the opposition, for a time, countless young talents showed their magical powers, just like the eight immortals crossing the sea, looking around for news, asking people to intercede, in order to seek a position.

Regarding this matter, Ouyang Shuo handed it over to the cabinet and no longer asked about it.

3 p.m.

After issuing the decree of appointment and dismissal, Ouyang Shuo summoned Zhang Liang, a scholar of the Senior Cabinet University, in the imperial study.

With the change of the Secret Pavilion, the layout of the Imperial Study will also be adjusted, and Tsing Yi, as the official of the Secret Pavilion, will no longer work directly in the Imperial Study, but arrange another room next to the Imperial Study.

That area will also be the yamen of the Secret Pavilion, with a separate entrance and exit.

There was a door left between the two areas, and Ouyang Shuo could either enter the imperial study from the main entrance, or enter the office area of the Secret Literature Pavilion through this door, and then leave from there.

In this way, it ensures that Tsing Yi and others can be with them, and also ensures the privacy of the imperial study.

At present, in addition to Ouyang Shuo himself, there is only one female official who follows Ouyang Shuo to serve him in his diet and daily life.

Outside the door, there was a team of divine guards, ready at any time.

Originally, General Wei Xu Chu insisted on standing guard in person, but was vetoed by Ouyang Shuo, Xu Chu is now a general of the fourth grade, what is the reason for standing guard every day.

Despite this, Xu Chu, who is straight, still set up a school field in the side courtyard of the imperial study and sat there in person. Once there was any situation, Xu Chuke took Shenwuwei to rush to the imperial study within five minutes.

Because Ouyang Shuo was accustomed to discussing matters with the ministers in the imperial study, and the things he talked about often involved the top secrets of the imperial court, the female officials who served, as the only "outsiders" present, must have absolute loyalty to Ouyang Shuo.

And the mouth must be extraordinarily strict, and half a word cannot be leaked to the outside world.

At the moment, I haven't found a suitable candidate, so I can only wait in the imperial study by Zisu himself.

Ouyang Shuo retracted his thoughts, put down the teacup, and said to Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the hall: "There is an adjustment in the Secret Literature Pavilion, and the Senior Administration Pavilion must also move. ”

No one thought that Ouyang Shuo would adjust the two centers.
