After drinking for several rounds, everyone slowly relaxed and the atmosphere became lively.

In a few years, the officials of the Pavilion have undergone many changes, some have changed to him, and some have made up for it. In the past one or two years, especially the eighth year of Tiansheng and the first year of Jingyou, the number of Jinshi has gradually increased, and many new faces have been gained. However, based on Xu Ping's normal historical knowledge, the two Jinshis during the Jingyou period were obviously not as good as the few Jinshis during the Tiansheng period. Apart from Sima Guang, there were no one who remembered his name in his previous life. I think it was true that the full of talents like the Tiansheng period should not be the norm in history.

At this time, Guange was the head of the Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng. Song Qi had submitted a letter to step down. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Yaochen would replace him to judge Guange and manage this place where the imperial court cultivates talents.

With Xu Ping's dominance in the Pavilion and controlling his voice in the same year, the Pavilion officials became more interested in the new policy. The previous generation of outstanding people were already old. If the Jinshi wanted to quickly rise to power in the Tiansheng period, they had to be unique. "The Strategy for Rich the Country and the People" provided this opportunity.

Originally, according to the historical trajectory, they would be divided into two factions. One was represented by Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others, who were good at politics, focused on political achievements and cultivated connections, and were powerful factions. The other was represented by Ouyang Xiu and others, mainly controlling the way of admonition, using gentlemen and villains to divide the party, and using moral articles to promote it. Their thoughts had a profound impact on future generations.

Now with the smooth progress of the new policy, the mainstream of the Tiansheng Jinshi has participated in the new policy guided by Xu Ping. Those who are good at writing articles and doing academic research work hard in their thoughts, while those who focus on actual achievements use the new policy to make political achievements for themselves. Ten years of becoming a Jinshi is the most important time for officials to have a career. Those who seize the opportunity will go up, and those who miss the opportunity may fall into decline.

Shi Yannian and Zhang Fangping, who had just entered the hall, sat together and chatted for a long time. Seeing that there was finally no one around Xu Ping, they came over together. The three of them drank a full cup and sat down under the big tree. Yellow leaves kept falling from the tree and sprinkled on the bodies of several people, which was quite poetic and picturesque.

Shi Yannian dusted off the fallen leaves on his body and said to Xu Ping: "Unconsciously, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. When you were in Zhongmu, I was greedy for the wine at your home and often bothered me. In the blink of an eye, the ignorant rural boys of the past have become the pillars of the country. Whenever I think of the past, I feel like I am dreaming."

Xu Ping couldn't help laughing: "Why did Manqing feel sad about spring and autumn today? After all, he is a poet. When he sees the fallen leaves all over the sky, he develops a compassionate heart. I am a vulgar person, but I don't have these thoughts."

Zhang Fangping said: "It's not that Manqing was just a little girl, but she was really inspired. A few days ago, news came from Yunzhou that Wang Yi was in poor health. Someone saw that the big star fell into his dormitory at night, which was an ominous sign. Yi Gong said that after one month, he naturally understood what the star fell into his symptom. I just chatted with Manqing, but I was afraid that Yi Gong would be in a short time."

Xu Ping was stunned and silent for a moment. When Wang Zeng left Beijing a few years ago, he was already in poor health. After these years, he might not be able to survive. Not only Wang Zeng, Cai Qi, who was demoted with him at the time, was also in poor health and might not be able to survive. They exchanged Lu Yijian and Song Shou together, paving the way for the implementation of the new policy. Xu Ping was able to do what he is today because of these two people. It was just that God's will, and since they left the capital, their health became worse day by day. Especially Cai Qi, although his health was not safe, was still actively implementing the new policy in Yingzhou, which is an important force in local support for the new policy.

Speaking of which, Lu Yijian and Song Shou are about the same age as them, but when their health is getting worse day by day, Lu Yijian and Song Shou are very Kang Jian. A few days ago, Song Shou was also a Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall, becoming the first person to be a major principal but to be a major principal. Things in the world are impermanent, and sometimes they are so helpless.

Once Wang Zeng and Cai Qi's bodies could not support them, Lu Yijian would be out of control, and no one could tell whether they would return to the court. In their generation, only Wang Zeng had nothing to say in all aspects. He could suppress Lu Yijian in everything. If another person was replaced, who could suppress Lu Xianggong? Li Di and Chen Yaozuo could sit firmly in the position of prime minister because Xu Ping was in charge of the Three Departments, and most of the government affairs of the court were handled by the Three Departments, and they were under little pressure. Once Xu Ping was gone to support them in the Three Departments, Li Di was fine, but Chen Yaozuo was afraid that it would be difficult for him to stay in the Political Affairs Hall.

Li Di and Chen Yaozuo knew this well, so although they had a dispute with Xu Ping in political affairs, especially in the past one or two years, the expansion of power of the Sansi was too powerful, and the two prime ministers and the Sansi had some small conflicts from time to time, in the general direction, they were still firm supporters of the Sansi's new policy. Once Xu Ping did not implement the new policy in the Sansi, it would be irrelevant whether the prime minister needed them to do it.

He sighed: "Auspicious people and heavenly beings. I hope Duke Yi can gradually improve his health. He is not yet 60 years old, and it is the time to do great things for the world. There are still many times when the country uses Duke Yi."

Zhang Fangping shook his head slightly, stopped talking about Wang Zeng, and said to Xu Ping: "Recently, I talked to Manqing about the years he was in Liangzhou and talked about a few old friends. When Manqing was in Liangzhou, when the imperial court was developing Jiaozhi, he had many people. Manqing once served in Lu. For a time, the heroes of Qi and Lu gathered in Yongliang Road to open up border areas for the imperial court and made a lot of efforts. In the past two years, Yongliang Road has gradually calmed down. Most of these people are unsatisfied, far away in a foreign land, with no future, and they are very depressed."

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly while listening. In fact, the main reason was not that Yongliang Road calmed down, but that he followed Shi Yannian's return to Beijing. Especially last year, Fan Feng left Yongliang Road and returned to his hometown to guard his mother's mourning, and the Qi and Lu scholars had no backing. Most of them were bold and unruly, and were not tolerated by the mainstream scholars and officials at this time, even if they were far away from the border, they would still be excluded.

When Wang Zeng left Beijing, he asked Xu Ping to take care of these heroes and scholars from his hometown. Xu Ping did not forget his instructions and recommended some of them as officials in the past two years. But it was a huge group. Just by Xu Ping's recommendation of a few officials, most of them still fell into decline. Originally, when the Yongzhou army returned to Beijing, Xu Ping suggested setting up a subordinate in the army, so he had the idea of ​​selecting people from these people, but in the end there was a change and he ended in vain.

When Zhang Fangping was fourteen or five years old, he once traveled to Qilu's hometown alone and had a lot of contact with these people. Later, he went to Yingtian Mansion to join his uncle Ji Ying, and focused on his studies, and had no connection with these people. Later, he made two studies in Zhongmao Caiyi and Weiliang Fangzheng. He was a top student in the background. He entered the museum early and became familiar with Shi Yannian again.

Ji Ying was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xu Ping's Tiansheng. Zhang Fangping was considered a junior in front of him, and with the relationship between Shi Yannian, the two were considered close. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Fangping said something straight in front of Xu Ping.

After Zhang Fangping finished speaking, Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "This matter is not urgent. We should make a way out for them. There will be a major change in the northwest soon. Among those heroes, if anyone does not want to stay outside the ridge, they can find a way out in the northwest. If people want to win their wives and children and to highlight their families, they will either have imperial examinations or military achievements. The most important thing is these two roads. Although Lingnan also has the opportunity to gain military achievements, they have no generals to preside over the presidency and are helpless."
