Like the Imperial Historical Observatory, they both belong to the imperial court supervision system, one is responsible for collecting suggestions and comments, and the other is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, all of whom report directly to the Son of Heaven, so the imperial court will call the Imperial Court and the Imperial Historical Observatory together as the Imperial Advisory.

But in the early Northern Song Dynasty, the power of the officials was great, they were not only responsible for collecting public opinion, but also the greater power was to impeach the minister or even the prime minister.

The highest official of the Imperial Court is the left and right counselors, and the left counselor Bao Zheng has been reappointed as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, and there is currently only one right counselor, Zhang Yu, as the governor.

The division of duties and powers of the left and right counselors is not very clear, basically they can do the same thing, it stands to reason that one counselor is enough, but the power needs to be restricted, especially the supervision of the institutions responsible for supervision, the emperor cannot personally supervise, and it is impossible to set up institutions above, so it is a feasible way to use the left and right two counselors, even if the left and right hands supervise each other.

Of course, this kind of mutual supervision cannot be explained too clearly, so there must be a glamorous reason on the table, and then the establishment of two departments is a visible reason.

Just as an accountant needs a bookkeeping and review, the Drum Court is to collect public opinion and suggestions, and the Procuratorate is to conduct a review to confirm the authenticity of these public opinions and suggestions.

Fanning is the doctor in charge of the procuratorate.

Fan Ning was accompanied by Zeng Gongliang to the Imperial Academy, which was not in the Imperial City, but on the South Street of Taiping Xingguo Temple, and across the street was the Imperial Historical Tower.

The whole hospital covers an area of about 50 acres, and the pattern is also a central axis to divide it into two, the left side is the inspection court, the right side is the drum court, basically the two doctors are in charge of a piece, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Of course, while the surface well water does not interfere with the river water, the underground water flow is connected, and the undercurrent is turbulent.

The full name of the Drum Courtyard and the Procuratorate is Dengwen Drum Courtyard and Dengwen Procuratorate, as the name suggests, that is, there should be a big drum at the door, and there are wronged people running to beat the drum to redress grievances, but unfortunately it is something that only the county government and the state government have, and the court does not use that thing.

The court used Kuang, that is, Wu Zetian's invention, the kind of big box made of pure copper used by the informant, and one was placed on the left and right outside the gate of the court.

If there is no reply after ten days, it is basically the Drum Courtyard that rejects your book, if the person who reads the book is not satisfied, you can vote again, and the second time it will be cast into the copper box of the procuratorate.

Here's how the rules are.

But in fact, most of the applicants could not wait for 10 days at all, and the next day they were thrown into the copper box of the procuratorate.

It is precisely because there is no time difference, some major cases, the drum court and the procuratorate will file the case at the same time, which requires communication, and it is not necessarily the priority of the drum court, the key is to see who files the case early, then who can get the right to file the case, if the left and right courts are in dispute, in the end it can only be decided by the son of heaven.

Of course, this kind of thing rarely happens, and generally acts according to the rules, and the left and right doctors don't deal with it, and they don't dare to report it to the Son of Heaven easily.

Fan Ning followed Zeng Gongliang into the left courtyard, that is, the Wendeng Inspection Courtyard, and the deputy Zuo Zhisi had led more than 20 counselors to wait in the courtyard, and when Fan Ning walked in, there was a burst of warm applause in the courtyard.

"It's very warm! It seems that everyone has been expecting you for a long time. Zeng Gongliang said to Fan Ning with a smile.

Fanning smiled, without an interface, when will the subordinates not be enthusiastic about their superiors? Especially in public.

Zeng Gongliang also knew it, he smiled, waved his hand, and the courtyard suddenly quieted down.

"After Bao Zhiyuan was transferred out last month, the Left Counselor Yuan has been empty, and it was not until yesterday that the official family finally finalized the candidates, and I will introduce you to the new Governor Yuan, Zuo Zhiyuan, this is Fan Ning Fan Zhiyuan!"

Zeng Gongliang raised his hand to introduce Fan Ning to everyone, "I think everyone knows that Fan Zhiyuan has outstanding merits and abilities, and I believe that under the leadership of Fan Zhiyuan, Zuo Zhiyuan will become a ........"

After some officialdom after some cold rice and hot stir-frying, Zeng Gongliang left, and the rest of the time was lost to Fan Ning.

Fan Ning said calmly to more than 20 subordinates: "I have been in Taixue for more than three years, and I have also stayed in Kunzhou for more than four years, and my qualifications are indeed not glamorous, but although my qualifications are weak, I still stand in front of you, rules are rules, I am a person who attaches importance to rules, and I hope that everyone will abide by the rules like me, I will say so much, everyone will do their own things!" ”

Everyone dispersed, many people were confused, they didn't understand the meaning of Fan Ning's words, and an official couldn't help but secretly ask Li Weizhen, the secretary of the left office: "What does Fan Zhiyuan mean by this?" ”

Li Weizhen smiled bitterly and said: "He is actually telling everyone that his backstage is very hard, and he can be promoted without following the rules, but we must do things according to the rules." ”

The official was stunned and asked for a while, "Who is his backstage?" ”

Li Weizhen glared at him like an idiot, "What do you say?" ”

.......

Since there are left and right counselors, there are naturally left and right counselors, Li Weizhen, the left counselor, is about forty years old, and he is also from a professional class, and has been in the office for fifteen years, from the nine-rank official step by step to the left-handed secretary from the five-grade Zuo Counselor, which can be regarded as a typical official step by step, but it is also a bit of a backstage, otherwise he would not have turned into a Beijing official after serving as a county official for three years.

Li Weizhen arranged a very large official room for Fan Ning, and Fan Ning estimated that it was at least one hundred and twenty square meters, the windows were bright, the copper beast incense burner in the corner of the room was curling with green smoke, and a faint sandalwood lingered in the room.

The room is divided into two by a screen, and the outside is a place for meeting and talking, with a low table and four soft chairs, and a small coffee table next to each chair, the atmosphere is very suitable for conversation.

Inside the screen is the specific office place, there is a large bookcase against the wall, there is a slightly lower literary shelf next to it, the front is a wide and exaggerated black lacquer table, a wide officer-backed chair, whether it is a screen or a table and chair cabinet, are made of good nan wood, it looks very strong, and it is not old.

However, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are gone, leaving three traces of hanging calligraphy and paintings, this stingy old bag! He refused to leave a piece of paper for himself.

But Fanning is not worried, his calligraphy and paintings are there! At the beginning, he lent Qing Coral to his cousin Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan gave him more than 20 paintings and calligraphy in the middle hall, including even the original inscription of "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Fanning sat down on the wide official chair, at this time, a tea boy came in and put a pair of tea sets on his table, this is the official kiln Ru porcelain he brought himself, four teacups and a teapot, Fanning likes the crystal scale beauty of the Ru porcelain opening, and the tea boy put down a pot of freshly fried tea at the same time.

Fan Ning tasted a cup of tea, the tea is good, it is also a Beijing collar, and the water quality is also very good, it should be the spring water of the plum garden.

"Li Jiji, how is the situation in the Right Yuan?" Fanning finally asked about it.

Li Weizhen sighed softly, "Our relationship is not very good. ”

Fan Ning nodded, he had already realized this, when he took office, the right counselor didn't come, this was simply a naked slap in the face, not only did he not give face, but even the face of Zeng Gongliang, the servant of the ministry, so Zeng Gongliang left with a very unnatural face.

Don't think that the civil and official struggle will be a little more subtle and hidden, this is not the case in the Song Dynasty, the civil and official struggle in the Song Dynasty is completely open and merciless, it can be said that it is a tearing of the skin and scolding.

Like the later struggle between the new party and the old party, it was completely a life-and-death struggle, and the emperor had no choice but to follow the struggle, and whichever faction lost, he would denounce which faction.

Fanning now wonders, where is the contradiction between the left and right courts?

Li Weizhen pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, there has always been a contradiction between the left and right courts, during the Qingli New Deal, the left court supported Fan Xianggong, and the right court was Lu Xianggong's territory, and those things about impeaching Fan Xianggong were basically done by the right court, and this factional tradition has continued to this day." ”

After a pause, Li Weizhen said again: "Some time ago, it was rumored that Liu Qin, a straight bachelor, would take over the Zuo Yuan, but we all know that it is impossible. ”

"Why?"

"Because Liu Qin is a protégé of Jia Changchao, and Jia Changchao supports King Langya."

Li Weizhen's words carried a strong hint, and Fan Ning completely understood, the right court is to support the king of Langya, and the left court is to support the king of giant deer, the factions are completely different, so Jia Changchao will not have a chance to get involved in the left court.

In fact, there is a deeper meaning, the factions of the left and right houses are clear, and they are actually the arrangement of the Son of Heaven.

When the leaders have a meeting, they are shouting: everyone must be united, if you take it seriously, it will be stupid.
