Frankly speaking, Fan Ning did not know much about the Imperial Court, although he had been an official for nearly eight years, but most of the time he had been an official overseas, although he had risen to the rank of a fourth-rank high-ranking official, but his understanding of the functions of the imperial court was probably not as good as that of a seventh-rank court official.

"I don't understand, please give me advice!"

Han Qi smiled slightly, "The official has the right to impeach, if he doesn't investigate and supervise, how can he impeach the official?" ”

"I know this, but does the counselor himself have the authority to supervise?"

"Absolutely!"

Han Qi said unhurriedly: "There are Dengwen Drum Institute and Dengwen Inspection Institute under the Imperial Court, and the Dengwen Drum Institute accepts suggestions or complaints from the people, if the Dengwen Drum Academy refuses to accept the book, the person who wrote the book has the right to request a review from the Dengwen Inspection Yuan."

If the content of the above book involves officials, the process of this review is actually the review and supervision of officials, which is the exercise of supervision and review power by officials on officials, whether they are court officials or local officials, so many officials also have the title of supervising the imperial history, which is the reason. ”

After a pause, Han Qi said again: "There are two counselors in the Imperial Court, one of them is also the Palm Drum Academy, and the other is also the Inspectorate Yuan, it turns out that the left Counselor of the Inspectorate is Bao Zheng, and he is now serving as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, I estimate that the official family intends to let you take over Bao Zheng's position." ”

Han Qi's explanation made Fan Ning feel relieved, if he had the function of supervision and review, then his plan could continue, and as for the submission of the book, it was purely a technical issue.

After pondering for a long time, Fan Ning asked cautiously, "Han Xiang, what do you think about Ouyang Xiu's matter?" ”

Han Qi was like a mirror in this matter, in front of Fan Ning, he didn't hide it, he sneered and said: "Xue Zongru has always been his brother-in-law's nemesis, he used the matter of fornicating with his daughter-in-law to attack Ouyang Xiu this time, I am not surprised, but this time point is a little too coincidental." ”

Fan Ning also knew that Ouyang Xiu's accident was no accident, but he didn't know this clue, and there must be a secret in it that he didn't know.

"Can Han Xiang tell the juniors!"

Han Qi glanced at Fan Ning meaningfully, he vaguely guessed why Fan Ning wanted to take charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, could it be that he wanted to intervene in Ouyang Xiu's case?

In fact, not only Han Qi knew that there was a problem with Ouyang Xiu's case, many people knew it, but the other party also did a ruthless job, using the dirt of his daughter-in-law to engage Ouyang Xiu, which made many people taboo and unable to interfere, Han Qi was the same, but it was a good way to let a young man like Fan Ning take action.

Han Qi thought for a while and said, "Do you know that Wang Yaochen is seriously ill?" ”

Wang Yaochen is seriously ill? Fanning shook his head blankly, he hadn't been back for long, and he hadn't had a chance to touch these things yet.

"I don't think you know."

Han Qi smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "If it's just illness, it's okay, but it's ........."

"What does Han Xiang mean is that this time the prince is likely to be unable to bear it?" Fan Ning understood what Han Qi meant.

Han Qi nodded silently, the doubts in Fan Ning's heart were solved at once, Wang Yaochen was seriously ill and died, and the phase was vacant, could it be that Ouyang Xiu's matter had something to do with the phase competition?

Fan Ning was a little confused again, Ouyang Xiu didn't look like someone who could compete for the top position! What is he doing?

Fan Ning didn't want to think about it anymore, he knew that he could know the answer from Han Qi's mouth.

Han Qi still drank the tea unhurriedly, Fan Ning also calmed down, no longer impatient, he found that his tea was cold, he hadn't tasted it yet, he had to smile bitterly, and said to the outside tea lady: "Change the sencha!" ”

Cha Ji quickly served them sencha, Fan Ning sniffed it, and then took a sip, the tea was good, it was the third ranked Jing Ling.

Han Qi had been observing Fan Ning, and seeing that he could calm down, he couldn't help but nod secretly, if Fan Ning asked himself in a hairy manner, this would make him worried.

After drinking tea for a while, Han Qi asked, "Are you familiar with Jia Changchao?" ”

Fan Ning was stunned, 'Jia Changchao! ’

How could he not know about Jia Changchao, the failure of the Qingli New Deal, this Jia Changchao has contributed a lot, but if you say that you are familiar, you really don't.

"I just heard, there is no intersection!"

Han Qi sighed, "Lao Jia may have to make a comeback this time." ”

Jia Changchao took over Wang Yaochen's seat? Countless questions flashed in Fanning's heart, why did Jia Changchao make a comeback? What does he have to do with Ouyang Xiu? What impact did the comeback of the Jia Chang Dynasty have on the pattern of the imperial court? What is the attitude of Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven?

In short, all kinds of thoughts filled Fanning's mind, but he couldn't find an outlet for catharsis, or because of the asymmetry of the news!

Fan Ning glanced at Han Qi, the key was still Han Qi here.

Han Qi seemed to be in deep thought, and after a long time he said: "I have no evidence, but I know that Ouyang Xiu's matter is Lao Jia's means, which is very in line with his style, and he stinks from reputation, even if he survives the imperial court censorship, he can't survive the reputation barrier, and he still has to go on." ”

"But why did he engage Ouyang Xiu? What is his motivation? "This is a key question that Fanning must figure out.

Han Qi said lightly: "He doesn't want to engage Ouyang Xiu, he wants to get the support of Ouyang Xiu's enemies, Ouyang Xiu advocated the ancient culture movement, and used it as the basis for admission in the imperial examination last year, do you know how many literati he offended?" There is also the Qian family, the Qian family has always hated Ouyang Xiu, and Zhang Yaozuo also hates Ouyang Xiu, in order to get the support of these people, Jia Changchao casually smeared Ouyang Xiu, although his methods are despicable, but you must not underestimate him, this person's means are so ruthless, his will is so strong, unless you defeat him and let him compromise himself, your compromise will not lead to anything. ”

Fan Ning had a feeling of sudden realization, in order to gain the support of Ouyang Xiu's enemies, he made Ouyang Xiu stink, the means were ruthless enough, but his character did make a little bit of a difference.

Han Qi glanced at Fan Ning coldly, "Even people I despise him so much call him Lao Jia, you must not underestimate him, if you are not careful, you will be torn to pieces by this smiling tiger!" ”

"Younger generations remember the teachings!"

Han Qi was quite satisfied with his modest attitude, and asked with a smile, "What else did you think of for what I just said?" ”

Of course, Fan Ning thought of it, and it was the key question, "Just now Han Xiang said that Jia Changchao and Zhang Yaozuo have a relationship?" ”

Han Qi praised in his heart, this kid is really powerful, he said it so vaguely, but he could see the essence of the problem at a glance, he nodded, "Jia Changchao supports the king of Langya County." ”

The king of Langya County is Zhao Wenyun, the righteous son of Zhang Guifei, as the body of Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, is getting weaker, and the battle for the emperor and heir has gradually surfaced, which is also the reason why Fan Ning is unwilling to go to the place to be an official, the most critical few years! How could he leave this bus.

"You don't want to ask anything else?"

Han Qi smiled and said, "If you miss my village, there will be no store to tell you the truth in the future." ”

"Yes!"

Fan Ning nodded, "I'm very puzzled in my heart, did the Son of Heaven really decide to let me take charge of the Imperial Court after seeing the "Chao Pao"?" ”

"What do you think of it?"

"I think..... Things shouldn't be that child's play! ”

Han Qi laughed, "It's good that you can realize this, several of our father-in-laws say that it is this reason, but we all know in our hearts that there is another reason. ”

"What's the reason for that?" Fanning asked.

"Do you know what is the core of the Emperor's Mind Technique?" Han Qi asked rhetorically.

"Balance!" Fanning blurted out.

"If only you understood!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Qi got up and patted Fan Ning on the shoulder, "It is estimated that there will be news from the Ministry of Officials in the afternoon, you go home and wait, don't run around today." ”

"Juniors know!"

Fan Ning also wanted to take a step further and ask Zhao Zhen where his balance was, but Han Qi didn't give him a chance, he had already walked to the door, Fan Ning was just about to get up, Han Qi turned around and smiled: "That Lu Huiqing is good, Wang Anshi also recommended him to me, I will give him a chance." ”

After speaking, Han Qi walked away.

Fan Ning was stunned, Wang Anshi also recommended Lu Huiqing? This man is scheming! not only found himself, but also got on Wang Anshi's boat,

.........

At dusk, Zhang Yunjin found Fan Ning and officially informed him of the appointment of the ministry.

The official rank remains the same, he is still from the doctor of the fourth grade Taizhong, serving as the doctor of the Zhiyuan and the right to advise the left, and he is in charge of the Wenjian Yuan, and requires him to report to the Ministry of Officials early tomorrow morning.
