Not long after, the burly and tall Li Dashou walked in and bowed, "Xiaguan Li Dashou see Zhan Shi!" ”

Li Dashou mixed well, the official appointment from the seventh grade Taichang Temple, although his appearance is rough, but he is down-to-earth and willing to work, others are unwilling to do, he takes the initiative to do, in the Taichang Temple has a good reputation, as the Taichang Temple Secretary Fan Ning's father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun also takes care of him very much, ready to promote him, at this time, Fan Ning transferred him to the East Palace, as the seventh product of the Zuo Chun Fang concubine, and Su Liang served as the right Chun Fang concubine.

Fanning smiled and invited him to sit down, and asked with concern: "I heard that your father had an accident when he bought a house, and now the criminals have been caught?" ”

Li Dashou's father was anxious to buy a house in the capital and reunite with his son at the beginning of the year, so he sold the transportation company that had been in business for many years, and was ready to buy a mansion outside the capital.

Li Dashou sighed, "The person was caught, and the money was recovered, but my father's body collapsed, why bother?" ”

Fan Ning nodded, "The body can only be slowly recuperated, the key is that the person catches it and the money is recovered, he will be in a good mood, and his body will slowly recover in the future." ”

"That's all there is to it."

The two chatted for a while, Li Dashou glanced at the tea boy who brought the tea in, and said to Fan Ning: "I don't think it's good to report to the guests that the tea boy will do it for you, if a high-level official comes to visit the senior brother, it is disrespectful to others, and the senior brother should find a staff member, or transfer an official to be the secretary of the Zhan Shifu." ”

Fan Ning knew that Li Dashou was so careful, and he actually discovered this problem, it was really inappropriate for the tea boy to report it, and it was disrespectful to the visiting officials, and Fan Ning also had too many things to think of this problem.

He nodded, "I need to find a staff member." ”

Li Dashou said with a smile: "Actually, it is better to transfer an official to be the secretary of the Zhan Shifu." ”

Fanning smiled: "Do you have someone to recommend?" ”

Li Dashou was a little embarrassed, "I have a friend who has a very good relationship, Jiayou has been a jinshi for four years, and now he is on the right side of Kaifeng Mansion, he is very talented, but his family is poor and has always been unsuccessful." ”

"What's your friend's name?"

"It's called Cai Qu!"

This name is so familiar, Fan Ning thought about it for a while, and immediately remembered that he was a famous minister of Zhezong and a staunch supporter of Wang Anshi's reform.

Kaifeng Mansion Right Chamber, although this position is from the eighth grade, but it has a lot of real power, and it is a Beijing official, and his family is poor and can be turned into a Beijing official, who is his backstage?

Fan Ning is already a high-ranking official from the third grade, and he will carefully consider the use of people, unlike Li Dashou who is still in the thinking of a low-level official, only if he is talented and has a good character, he will recommend it, and Fan Ning must consider the background of this official, if he promotes a person from Zhang Yaozuo's faction to be his confidential secretary, it will not lead the wolf into the room.

"Tell me about his hometown and resume after being admitted to the Jinshi!"

"He is a native of Quanzhou, Jiayou four years of Jinshi, and later served as the manager of Pizhou to join the army, the year before last when Han Jiang served as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, he found that he was very literate, so he recommended him to Kaifeng Governor Han Wei's subordinate to do the right wing of official affairs."

Fan Ning nodded, it turned out that he was recommended by Han Jiang, so he should be Han Jiang's person.

After pondering for a moment, Fanning asked again, "What is the relationship between him and Cai Zhun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"It should be the same clan, but he didn't receive preferential treatment from Cai Zhun, he was completely admitted to the Jinshi by relying on his own talent."

Cai Zhun is the father of the famous traitor Cai Jing, in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, Cai's family shined, Cai Xiang, Cai Zhun, Cai Qu, Cai Jing, Cai Bian were all born in Jinshi, and Cai Zhun was Cai Jing's father.

Fan Ning also knew that the main reason why Cai Jing ascended to the throne was that his younger brother Cai Bian was Wang Anshi's son-in-law, so that the Cai brothers were all valued by Wang Anshi, but it had nothing to do with Cai Cheng.

The key is that he is Han Jiang's person, the Han family is the first great scholar family in the north, and the Cai family is the first great scholar family in the south, and Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, asked Han Zhen to be Zhao Zhongzhen's teacher, hoping that Zhao Zhongzhen can get the support of the first great scholar family in the north.

Han Jiang obviously wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two major scholar clans in the north and south, so he looked at Cai Qu differently, and it was a bit abrupt for him to use Cai Qu as a confidential secretary.

However, Cai is indeed a great talent, and he can indeed use it, Fan Ning plans to transfer the East Palace official who has been on leave for a long time to do business, and pull Cai Qu over, Han Jiang, who has just become a guest of the prince, should accept his favor.

Thinking of this, Fan Ning smiled at Li Dashou and said: "Cai is indeed Han Jiang's person, it is not suitable to be the secretary, I can transfer him to Zuo Chunfangcheng and you as a colleague, as for me here, let's find a staff member!" ”

Li Dashou understood Fan Ning's consideration, he no longer insisted, and said with a smile: "If it's just a staff member, the son of my boss Chen Xiliang is outstanding in learning, which is very suitable." ”

"Chen Xiliang's son, what's his name?"

"It's called Chen Jichang!"

Fanning was speechless, it turned out to be the husband of Hedong Lion.

However, Liu Yue'e is only a character in the later drama, Chen Jichang's wife may not be so powerful, but Chen Jichang is known as the four great talents of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is very likely that he is talented.

Fanning nodded, "That's it! Let him come over tomorrow afternoon, and I'll see him. ”

Li Dashou had just said goodbye, and the tea boy reported again, "Han Jiang asks to see!" ”

Fan Ning really has a big head, a little kid, he dares to call the name of the minister, what he knows, is that this tea boy is ignorant, he doesn't know, and he thinks how arrogant he is, even Han Jiang doesn't care about it, he can call him by his name.

There was no point in scolding this tea boy, so Fan Ning had to welcome him out, "I didn't know that Han Gong was coming, and Fan Ning was far away." ”

Han Jiang's cultivation is very good, he heard the tea boy call his name, he didn't show dissatisfaction, just smiled slightly: "Zhan is very busy, Han Jiang took the liberty to come and disturb him." ”

"Where! Where! It should be me going to visit my seniors, Han Gong, please come in! ”

Fan Ning politely invited Han Jiang into the official room, Han Jiang was about fifty years old, and Wang Anshi was the same science jinshi, the third Tanhua, his father was Han Yi of the Xiangguo of Song Zhenzong, he himself was the prefect of Gyeongju and Chengdu, and he served as the prefect of Kaifeng before entering the East Palace, and his connections and qualifications were very deep, Zhao Zhongzhen appointed him as a guest of the prince, which undoubtedly further tied the Han family, the first scholar in the north, to himself.

This is also the balancing technique implemented by Zhao Zhongzhen, he trusts Fan Ning, but he can't completely rely on Fan Ning, and the introduction of Han Jiang can be regarded as walking on two legs, and it can also be regarded as a kind of containment of Fan Ning.

Han Jiang entered the room and sat down, looked at the room and said with a smile: "Fan Zhan is busy with the affairs of the East Palace, and he has to preside over the Shenwu Army, so he is bothered to be exhausted, why don't you find a staff member to help?" ”

Fan Ning didn't want him to introduce himself to the staff, he smiled lightly: "There are staff, do a handover on the side of Ying Tianfu, and I will come to the capital soon, in addition, I also plan to transfer Han Gong's subordinate Cai Qu into Zhan Shifu." ”

Han Jiang was slightly stunned, "How did Fan Zhanshi know him?" ”

"Li Dashou recommended it to me, and they have a good personal relationship."

Han Jiang nodded slowly and said: "Cai is indeed a talent, his father Cai Huangshang is a typical useless scholar, he was impeached and lost his position as a county magistrate, and the family can't eat in Chenzhou, they all rely on their wives to wash people's clothes to survive, and there are no clansmen to help them, until Cai Qu was admitted to the Jinshi and married the daughter of a big family in Chenzhou, and the family came out of hunger and cold, which is not easy!" ”

Han Jiang was actually implicitly telling Fan Ning that Cai Qu had no friendship with the Cai family in Quanzhou, and it didn't make sense to try to win over the relationship between the Cai family in Quanzhou by reusing Cai Qu.

Of course, Fan Ning understood Han Jiang's words, and he also had a real headache, these children of the family considered the problem from a different angle, and actually thought that they wanted to use the Cai family, but this also reminded Fan Ning that for the sake of balance, the Cai family should also enter the East Palace, and the southern faction should also have the right to speak.

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Cai is indeed Han Gong's favorite general, so I have to ask Han Gong's opinion!" If Han Gong is reluctant to let him go, then I can only sigh with hope. ”

"Where! Zhan Shi took a fancy to him, it was his blessing, but the ten places were full, how to transfer him? ”

"It turns out that Li Ying and Zhang Yuan are relatively lazy in Chunfangfang, and I plan to let the officials transfer them and let Cai do occupy a place."

"Is it the one who did business in the last dynasty?"

"It's famous!"

Fan Ning sighed and said: "Since this person is obsessed with doing business, I plan to let him resign by himself, the East Palace can't afford to lose this face, and the other Zhang Yuan is also a variety of leaves, last time he said that his wife gave birth to a child and asked for ten days off, and then I found out that he had used this as an excuse to ask for leave more than a dozen times, this person heard that King Liang had settled in the East Palace, and immediately ran over, desperately looking for various opportunities to get close to King Liang, this kind of person can only kick away." ”

Han Jiang's eyes lit up, "Since there are two places, can Fan Zhanshi let me have one?" ”

"I don't know who Han Gong plans to recommend?"

"I found a talented young man, the current county magistrate of Shangluo County, Jiayou two years of Jinshi, because of the clan nephew in the examination, he despised it, and went home to retake the exam, Jiayou four years in the first class fifth, so far has not been turned into a Beijing official, can this opportunity be given to him?"

Fan Ning's eyes rolled, and he immediately reacted, "Could it be that Han Gong is talking about Zhang Dan?" ”

Han Jiang laughed, "Zhang Dian is also famous!" ”
