Gu Yanzhang didn't expect what happened during the day, and in the evening, it was rumored that even Ji Qingling, a little girl who rarely went out to hang out once, knew about it.

He hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the banquet, and explained: "It's really not Fan Dashen, I'm not stupid enough to be that far." ”

Ji Qingling couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

Seeing her react like this, the tension in Gu Yanzhang's heart gradually dissipated.

Although he didn't want to offend Fan Yaochen, he was not afraid of offending him.

Since he dared to say that in front of everyone at the Qionglin banquet, he was actually ready.

However, compared to being mistaken for Yang Kui's party and being targeted by the Fan faction, he was more worried that this person in the family would be anxious about him.

Now seeing that Ji Qingling didn't care about it, he finally put his mind at ease.

Gu Yanzhang picked up the paper in his hand again, looked at it carefully, and asked, "How did you pick out these ones?" ”

Ji Qingling said with a smile: "If you are a Fan Party and want to deal with the new champion who has attracted attention recently, and you don't want to ask him to make contributions, how will you be assigned?" ”

Gu Yanzhang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Can't let me stay in Beijing." ”

The position of the champion is noble, either to give Dali to comment, or to be a general as a supervisor, no matter which position, has entered the sequence of Beijing officials, no longer a candidate, can directly serve in Beijing.

There was also a precedent in the past, Zhuang Yuanlang was appreciated by the queen mother who hung the curtain, or was appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and before he went to the state, he was left in the capital to be sent to the province.

The first thing to do in order to follow him is not to let him or his name linger before the Son of Heaven every day.

Yang Kui is far away in Yanzhou, Fan Yaochen will not be promoted differently, his own family has no backstage, and no one will help him out, as long as he does not make the Son of Heaven think of it, it will be as short as a few months, and as long as a year at most, no matter how much he values it now, the Son of Heaven will have all the opportunities, and if he stays for a long time and no one reminds him, he will definitely forget the three words "Gu Yanzhang" cleanly.

Ji Qingling's fingertips pointed at the circled place on the paper, lightly clicked, and said, "I guess it's here, but I don't know which one it is, but it's all about the same." ”

Gu Yanzhang looked at the fingertips that were as white as an onion tube, first he was shaken by the beautiful fingers, and after a while, he looked at the two columns of words in his eyes.

Jiangnan West Road.

Ganzhou.

Fuzhou.

***

In the Chongzheng Palace, more than a dozen important ministers are playing right.

After dealing with the anxious government affairs in Xiangzhou and Guizhou, the rest of the important countries were taken care of, and the names of the ministers came out according to their positions.

Once again, Fan Yaochen was left behind.

Because there are too many important matters in the DPRK and China, the action of the political hall this time is a little slow, Qionglin has finished the banquet, and the official products and dispatches of the new batch of jinshi have been drafted down, and they were sent to the Son of Heaven yesterday.

At this moment, Zhao Rui was holding such an excerpt full of names and corresponding dispatches.

This time, he first congratulated Fan Yaochen with a smile, saying that he was "happy to be a virtuous son-in-law".

Fan Yaochen bowed respectfully and thanked him solemnly.

The two got along for a while before Zhao Rui got down to business.

"I want to keep Zheng Shixiu in Beijing." He held up the fold in his hand and said to Fan Yaochen, "First appoint in the secretary province." ”

Fan Yaochen's face was slightly stunned, and he asked: "That champion Lang Gu Yanzhang, Wang Ruilai, the same list......

According to the story, the first class has to go out to be an official at the beginning of his tenure, and then he will be transferred to an official according to his merits.

In the past, it was not uncommon for a champion to be promoted alone, and those who kept him in Beijing rarely crossed the champion and were promoted only exceptionally.

Zhao Ruifu looked at Yanzhang's official position again.

will be a prisoner and sentenced to Ganzhou.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Will Ganzhou be a little far?" ”

Fan Yaochen said: "Ganzhou belongs to Longxing Mansion, with a total of more than 87,000 households, nearly 20,000 Fangguo households, and the tax is 200,000 stone higher than last year. ”

He said: "After Gu Yanzhang is familiar with governance, he will be transferred to another place, otherwise it will be easy to be frustrated when he suddenly comes to a state and county that is not easy to deal with. ”

Zhao Rui heard Fan Yaochen report the population and taxes of Ganzhou one by one, without hesitation, and then heard him count the benefits, and his heart was already satisfied with three points.

He thought for a while and said, "Then Ganzhou." ”

He asked again: "Fan Qing, Xiangzhou has just moved, Yang Yifu is your son-in-law, there is really no need to be so evasive, and he will be appointed as the judge and secretary in the lower county of Xiangzhou." ”

A while ago, when the news of Zhao Rui's change in the ranking of the palace examination came out, everyone talked about it, and they all regarded Yang Yifu as a joke, and said behind his back that he was attached to the senior officials this time, but who knew that he would suffer a big loss.

Zhao Rui heard Zhu Baoshi, who served in the Imperial City Division, come back to say something, and he also felt a little sorry for Fan Yaochen, so he specially mentioned it at this moment.

Fan Yaochen said: "What the court needs, how can there be so many fat and thin, in the past, he also said that he was willing to go to the state and county that no one wanted to go to." ”

smiled again: "It is precisely because he is the son-in-law of the minister that he should be more cautious and not be self-conscious." ”

Zhao Rui nodded involuntarily, with Fan Yaochen's words, he had a second point of change in his heart about Yang Yifu.

Dedicated to state affairs and not afraid of hardships for the Son of Heaven, which emperor doesn't like such courtiers?

Fan Yaochen played in the palace until the end of Shen Shi, and then he took his leave.

When he returned to the house, he called his son-in-law and said to him, "Your dispatch has been decided." ”

Yang Yifu's expectant heart went up and down, only looking at his father-in-law, waiting for him to speak.

Fan Yaochen said: "In Gucheng County, Xiangzhou. ”

Yang Yifu seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, but he could still stand firmly, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Uncle Yue." He asked again, "I don't know how Gu Yanzhang and Zheng Shixiu were sent?" ”

Fan Yaochen said: "Gu Yanzhang is in Ganzhou, and Zheng Shixiu was appointed by the Son of Heaven to enter the secretary province. ”

Yang Yifu couldn't maintain his complexion any longer, and his face was a little difficult to look at.

Fan Yaochen is old in Huanhai, so naturally he can't see what this kid is thinking, but he also feels that his son-in-law can't accept it for a while, which is human nature, so he said: "Don't underestimate this Gucheng County, and don't look down on that Ganzhou." ”

As he spoke, he explained the mysteries to Yang Yifu one by one.

"Xiangzhou has only been moved, in the past few years, the DPRK and China will reduce and reduce taxes, and the examination merits are tilted, although I and you sent a lower county, but rely on the water, the traffic is not troublesome, then you will be equipped with a few capable guests, do a year and a half of work, before you can make meritorious service, and when the examination is completed, I will be able to transfer you to Gyeonggi Upper County."

"Ganzhou is not on the border, there is no field, there is no big wharf, there is nothing to do on weekdays, no matter how capable you are, you can't make any credit for being an official in that place for three or five years."

Fan Yaochen looked at his son-in-law meaningfully and said, "Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing, just focus on the front." ”
