For Li Hao's job transfer, Li Hao's two old bosses were still very regretful, so Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou also specially hosted a banquet to entertain Li Hao.

Of course, while entertaining Li Hao, he also invited Yang Wenyuan over.

After all, he is the next person to take over Li Hao's position, and from the rank of the fifth grade, he has become the Marquis of Yu, the former secretary of the Quanfa Palace.

In addition, there is also the power of the Lingguo Mansion, and Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou also want to maintain a good relationship with him.

And Yang Wenyuan was not a flamboyant character, so with Li Hao's matchmaking, the three of them basically reached a consensus.

So the next banquet was naturally a joy for both the guests and the hosts.

A few days later, after Li Hao regained his official certificate, he came to the third division again, but this time Li Hao already had an independent office space.

There is an exclusive Salt and Iron Division in the courtyard, and Li Hao's subordinate officials have already arrived.

However, when Li Hao entered the door, he found that these were all old acquaintances.

I can't help but sigh that it's really good to enjoy the shade with my back against the big tree, and there are people in the yamen who are easy to do.

In order to facilitate himself, Ouyang Xiu really put a lot of effort into helping, and put a group of people who originally brought him to Huainan, including Sheng Hong, all of them into the Salt and Iron Division, and for a while, Li Hao's command was also strong and strong.

Although these people may not all be reliable, at least they are all acquaintances, and there is still some guarantee in being obedient.

Moreover, after experiencing the affairs of Huainan, these people have some understanding of the issue of salt tax.

So Li Hao explained, let them first find out and put forward ways to improve the policy, focusing on considering the salt introduction system and the salt system, to see if they can combine to find a way.

In addition, in view of the high price of official salt, in order to reduce the price of salt, and at the same time ensure that the salt tax will not be drastically reduced.

Therefore, Li Hao can only send more people to the salt field to investigate on the spot to see if there is a way to reduce the cost of salt production, so as to reduce the price of salt.

After receiving the order, everyone got busy, especially Sheng Hong.

Li Hao still remembers what Sheng Hong wanted to dump at him, although Li Hao is indeed responsible for that incident.

But Li Hao still doesn't approve of this kind of behavior, and all those who dump the blame on themselves are not good people.

So Li Hao specially arranged tiring work for him, ensuring that he went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't even have time to accompany his daughter-in-law, although he might not be willing to accompany him.

After arranging for others, Li Hao first ran to Ouyang Xiu and thanked him deeply.

I also stepped into the busy team, of course, this is not only a matter of dedication.

On the other hand, Li Hao also wanted to effectively avoid Zhao Ceying, lest he come to the door to ask about the situation, and he didn't know how to answer.

However, what Li Hao didn't expect was that in this busy month, Zhao Ceying really didn't come to find him again.

This made Li Hao quite strange, it was not Zhao Zongquan and they changed their minds.

Before Li Hao could figure this out, a piece of news came from Luoyang, which completely disrupted Li Hao's plan.

hurriedly ran to Ouyang Xiu, but the person was still there, so Li Hao had to wait outside.

Finally waiting for Ouyang Xiu to come back, Li Hao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I just heard the news that it is the mother of the Great Minister of Fubi, Mrs. Qin Guotai, the wife of Yipinguo, has passed away, does my uncle know about this?"

Ouyang Xiu replied, "I have already heard about this, and I went to find the rich minister just now for this.

The news from Luoyang said that Mrs. Qin Guotai's health had deteriorated since the beginning of the year, and she had wanted to inform the rich minister for a long time, but she suddenly got better for a while, so she didn't rush to report it.

But I didn't expect that just after the New Year, my body would be bad all of a sudden, so I sent someone from Luoyang to rush over."

Now that the truth of the matter has been determined, the first thing that Li Hao thinks of is the question of Ding Wei, after all, Fu Bi is a strong supporter of the New Deal, once he Ding Wei goes home.

Han Qi is left in power, and for his personality, Jing

After Ouyang Xiu's reminder last time, Li Hao didn't dare to trust it.

So he hurriedly asked, "Did the prime minister say what to do, and will the official family take revenge on the prime minister?"

Ouyang Xiu also understood Li Hao's worries, sighed and said, "I don't know what the official family means, but I think the official family should be unwilling to let the rich minister go.

It's just that I think the rich man is fair, and he himself is ready to worry."

Hearing this, Li Hao said: "This worry is three years, and now the new deal has just begun, where can I leave the rich and the great-looking minister, why didn't my uncle persuade him."

Ouyang Xiu said: "I don't know what you said, but the rich minister is the most filial person, so he naturally wants to do his filial piety for his mother.

Moreover, once the seizure of affection is restored, the government and the opposition will inevitably discuss things, and the rich and powerful ministers will also have to consider this issue."

Li Hao disagreed, if there was no change in the law, it didn't matter what Fu Bi did.

But now that the change has begun, as one of the leaders, how can he retreat at this time.

How did he not learn from Zhang Juzheng, in order to change the law, he directly won the love and recovered, and went on firmly, which created Wanli Zhongxing.

Of course, his ending is a bit miserable, but the Great Song Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty, and the preferential treatment of civil officials here is guaranteed.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty has a precedent for the seizure of love for the ruler itself, so he said: "The ruling party has been restored after mourning, this is a precedent, what is worth discussing.

Now that the new policy has just seen its popularity, the salt tax has also been investigated, and the Fangtian average tax law has also been implemented on Yongxing Military Road.

Is it just for the sake of filial piety to throw all these things aside, then it is not important to be loyal to the country?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said, "Don't talk nonsense, these are two different things, and even if the rich minister leaves.

If the matter of the new deal is not still presided over by Prime Minister Han, and everyone else is still there, there will be no problems.

In addition, I will go to the Prime Minister's house tonight, and the details will be discussed tomorrow."

Li Hao could only nod helplessly now: "Okay, then I'll wait for my uncle's news first."

After finishing speaking, Li Hao went back to the office of the Salt and Iron Division, thinking about what happened next.

After all, things have changed, and the reform of the New Deal may directly adjust one less pillar, so Li Hao has to think about how to tighten the pace and wait and see.

In the evening, in Fubi's mansion, Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi visited separately.

The two first comforted Fu Bi, and then talked about Ding Wei, and at the same time, Ouyang Xiu talked about the common practice of recovering from the mourning of the government, hoping that Fu Bi would take care of the overall situation and stay in the court.

In this regard, Fu Bi bluntly said: "The revenge of the love is the "Golden Revolution Change", which is a workaround in times of war.

Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and three years of filial piety is what we must do.

And you say that this is a common practice, but this is not right, if the powerful ministers mislead the country in the future, will they not be able to use this example to continue to bring disaster to the country and the people.

It is up to me to break this rule today, so that I can ensure that future generations will not use it to do evil."

What he said was reasonable, but considering the current situation, Ouyang Xiu had to persuade again, and was ready to pull Han Qi on the side to speak.

But at this time, Fu Bi said, "And I have talked about this matter with Han Daxianggong on a daily basis, and he also thinks that this is not a model of the prosperity of the imperial court.

Moreover, both of you can preside over the new coup d'état law in the DPRK and China, and even if I leave temporarily, it can be carried out."

As soon as he heard this, Ouyang Xiu didn't know what to say, mainly because he didn't expect Han Qi to support Ding Wei.

If you persuade again now, wouldn't you have to argue with Han Qi face to face.

As for Han Qi's side, he probably didn't expect Fu Bi to say this directly, and it was not easy to answer for a while.

Because he said that he supported the seizure of love, that was to slap himself in the face; But if you want to support Ding Wei, there is naturally no problem in principle, but I am afraid that it will make Ouyang Xiu think more, no matter what, it is not appropriate.

So when neither of them spoke, the field suddenly fell silent, and then the three of them said a few more words, and then went their separate ways

Left.

But Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu both understood that after this incident, the estrangement had already been created, and it would be difficult to imagine working together as before.

By the time Li Hao learned of the situation the next day, Fu Bi's request for Ding Wei's documents had already been handed over to the palace.

Li Hao was really surprised by this, but he didn't expect Han Qi to become the main force to persuade Fu Bi Ding Wei.

But on second thought, this makes sense.

After all, now Fu Bi is Zhao Wenxiang and Tongzhongshu under the Ping Zhang, and Han Qi is the Jixian Prime Minister and the privy envoy, and after Fu Bi leaves, Han Qi can naturally take over Fu Bi's class and become the prime minister.

And if you think about it more, Han Qi's parents have passed away now, and he has already been worried, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about himself.

But in this way, Li Hao was still a little unwilling, so he found Ouyang Xiu and said, "Then Uncle doesn't plan to persuade him anymore, and let the rich minister leave the court."

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "How can I persuade this matter, what Prime Minister Fu said also makes sense, plus Prime Minister Han agreed, what I said will not have any effect."

So far, I can only look at the ability of the official family, and the official family definitely does not want the rich minister to leave at this time, and will definitely dissuade him again and again.

The next thing is up to the rich minister's determination, and if he is determined to leave, then it is impossible to really force him to stay."

Hearing this, Li Hao no longer had any expectations: "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for news."

And from this day on, Fu Bi closed his door and was not in the court, waiting for the will of the court.

And Zhao Zhen really didn't want Fu Bi to leave the court at this time, so he made a decree to restore Fu Bi's love.

But this will was not accepted by Fu Bi, so he followed up with a second letter requesting Ding Wei.

Zhao Zhen still did not allow it, and personally wrote a list of court issues, hoping that Fu Bi would be willing to stay in the court and continue to serve.

Of course, Fu Bi still did not agree, but continued to write a third document, earnestly saying that he wanted to go home to fulfill his filial piety.

Then, not surprisingly, Zhao Zhen's third love document was then sent to Fu Bi.

But Fu Bi had already made up his mind, and then went to the fourth letter, asking Ding Wei.

In the past two days, several documents back and forth between the palace and the Fubi Mansion have also implicated the hearts of many people in the court.

And these thoughts are also on this last paperwork, and the dust has settled.

On this day, Zhao Zhen approved Fu Bi's Ding Wei and asked him to return to his hometown to keep filial piety for a total of 27 months.

As a result, Fu Bi temporarily left this political center, and Han Qi also saw that he was about to step into the position of prime minister.

On the day of Fu Bi's departure from Beijing, many officials in the DPRK and China were grateful for Fu Bi's selflessness, purity and filial piety, so they went outside Bianjing City to send the former prime minister out of Beijing, and Li Hao also followed Ouyang Xiu.

However, at this time, Li Hao's attention was not on Fu Bi, but on Han Qi.

Now that I think about it, this time Fu Bi's unexpected departure from Beijing, it was Han Qi who benefited the most.

And thinking about it again, Han Qi wanted to snatch wealth and power for his own affairs earlier, and Li Hao felt more and more that Fu Bi's departure from Beijing might also be within his plan.

Of course, Li Hao didn't think that Mrs. Qin Guotai's death was done by Han Qi, but Han Qi should have known the news earlier, so he would have been prepared.

In addition to Han Qi, Zhao Zongquan should be quite happy about this, after all, with the support of the prime minister, it is much more important than a privy envoy.

As for the others, it is not without benefits, at this level, the official position of the imperial court is a turnip and a pit.

The top position has moved, and there are many people sitting in the bottom row, who are hoping to take a step forward, how can it make people unhappy.

For a while, in Bianjing City, those civil officials who had the hope of going to the next step were all gearing up to show their skills.

Of course, for Li Hao, there is nothing to look forward to, after all, he has just been promoted, and it will not be his turn to adjust this time.

Now Han Qi's progress is inevitable, and Li Hao only cares about who will pick up Han Qi's class.

But how about this person Li Hao

I didn't expect that it would be Ouyang Xiu who became a privy envoy.

Seven days after Fu Bi left Bianjing, Han Qi officially became Zhao Wenxiang and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and took charge of the political affairs hall, while Ouyang Xiu became Jixian Xiang, Privy Council, and took charge of the Privy Council.

As for the responsibilities of the three divisions, they are temporarily vacant, and the three divisions of salt and iron, degree branch, and household department are temporarily in charge of each autonomous official.

Although this promotion is reasonable, from the third envoy to the privy envoy, from the prime minister to the second minister, it is a normal order of promotion.

But for Li Hao, this change means that Li Hao has lost his most direct backer in the salt tax reform.

Even if he has Zhao Zhen's support, if the three envoys who took over do not agree, then Li Hao doesn't want to do anything.

Moreover, since Ouyang Xiu left, Li Hao could feel that there had begun to be some turmoil within the Salt and Iron Division, but Li Hao could still hold it down for the time being.

At the same time, the vacancy of the post of the third envoy also attracted everyone's attention, unlike the previous vacancy in the political hall, many people have no hope.

With a single round of qualifications, there are many people who can take charge of the three divisions.

Especially now the power of the three divisions has increased greatly, which is the fat in the eyes of others, and for a while, the *** of Bianjing City in order to compete for this position, it can be said that there are all kinds of tricks, and the three divisions have been pushed to the cusp.

There is no way, Li Hao can only put down the matter of salt tax reform for the time being, and wait until the dust settles after the dust settles on the new third secretary, and then see how to go next.

However, the new envoy did not come, but the envoy of the Du branch and the envoy of the household department found Li Hao and said that they would form an alliance with Li Hao and advance and retreat together.

In this regard, Li Hao naturally agreed, as for whether he will sell these two people at a critical moment, it depends on the situation.

Of course, Li Hao believes that these two people probably think the same way.

But for the time being, after the joint efforts of the three of them, at least the three divisions have been stabilized.

Soon, the new candidate for the third division has also been selected, and this candidate Li Hao still knows.
