"The wind and smoke are new to Luoyi, and the crown is covered with the east gate." At this time, Liu Chang had not written this poem. He and Su Song, Zhang Zai and others left the northwest and rushed to the capital to participate in the imperial examination. The poem was not written, but the scenery was that scenery. The upper east gate was the post road to the capital, and the high-ranking officials and nobles had to pass here, almost every day.

When Xu Ping returned to Beijing, he still had to pass here. He rested here and received hospitality from the officials and people of Luoyang City here.

He served as an official here for several years, which revitalized the ruined ancient city of Xijing, and thus promoted the economic reforms across the country, leading to great turmoil in the government. A few years ago, the main soldiers in the northwest also passed by here, and led a large number of Luoyang craftsmen to the northwest, opening up a new situation.

"I'm back!" Looking at the Upper East Gate not far away and the inn not far away from the city gate, Xu Ping raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm back, and I'm back with victory. I have worked hard for several years, so I can meet the elders of the Central Plains with my head held high.

Di Yi, the left-behind Xijing Road Transport Author, Du Qi, and a group of officials, welcomed outside the Shangdong Gate early, looking forward to Xu Ping's ceremonial guard. Xu Ping still has a home here. Speaking of which, he is half a Luoyang native. Now that he has returned in glory, the people in the city are full of honor. Several miles outside the Shangdong Gate, the road is crowded with people watching Xu Ping and his party.

When Fu Bi was exiled, Wang Qinruo was sent to stay with Xijing. He and a few friends climbed to the gate of Fuxian Temple next to him. Seeing Wang Qinruo's ceremonial guards were so strong, he sighed, "Your Majesty is also a son!" The person next to him said, "Why do you sigh, how can you know that our generation will not be like this in the future!"

Later, Fu Bi became a Jinshi, and his reputation in history was indeed not inferior to Wang Qinruo. Now it is time for the students to go to Beijing to take the exam, and there are many people living in the inn where Xu Ping was about to go down. I wonder if they would express Fu Bi's sigh back then.

Di Li and Du Qi came up with the officials and performed the ceremony. The elders in the city greeted the wine and entered the inn together.

When the general returned, Xu Ping could not enter the city gate even if he had a home in the city. During his time in Luoyang, he could only live in the inn. The city was Di Wei's territory. What should he do if he went in and let Xijing stay behind?

Xu Ping and his party entered the inn. The people outside did not disperse for a long time. The situation outside the East Gate was very furious. The weather was cold and the ground was frozen, but it could not reduce people's enthusiasm at all. Small vendors were doing various business among the crowd, and for a moment, this place became a big market. Among the onlookers, I don't know how many people said "A real man should be like this". Many people have said this sentence: when almost every big person passed by a place, some people onlookers would say that there were only few people who really came true.

The inn was arranged early to welcome Xu Ping and his party. At this time, there were no ones that Xu Ping knew among the officials in Luoyang City. Most of the people he was familiar with were small officials and field staff, and they were not qualified to welcome Xu Ping. Those who were qualified to come were already promoted and left Luoyang City. In those years, Xu Ping brought a group of people to the court.

The banquet was like etiquette and all the joy ended. Liu Xiaoyi entered the city early and went to his home to arrange it. Tomorrow Xu Ping would hold a banquet in the inn to entertain his familiar people. Today's banquet is official business, everything follows the system, and tomorrow's private banquet is to meet relatives and friends.

After sending everyone away, the sun had already set off. Xu Ping stood in front of the door and stretched out his waist. He looked at Luochengcheng in the dusk for a while, shook his head, turned around and prepared to go into the room to rest. It was a hard work to rush on the road in the cold winter, and Xu Ping was a little tired.

At this moment, I heard the crowds of people outside, and suddenly it became lively again.

After a natural reaction from his years of military career, Xu Ping turned around suddenly and looked outside with a deep look.

Tan Hu stayed in the northwest, and now the entourages around Xu Ping are relatively low-identified. They are afraid of Xu Ping and bow their heads.

A guard ran in quickly and crossed his hands to Xu Ping: "Mr., a entourage is coming outside. I want my husband to receive the order!"

Looking up at the darker night, Xu Pingqiang cheered up, went inside to change clothes, and changed into public uniforms. He had arrived in Luoyang City, what orders were coming to pass on? Is there any change in the Khitan side? It shouldn't be true.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw that the envoys who came to Xuanzhao were his acquaintances, Shi Quanbin and Liu Yongnian.

Liu Yongnian was in his early twenties, with a tall figure, amazing strength and outstanding martial arts skills. He won the Northwest Great Win, and Judas, who was interested in martial arts, always wished that he could be there and kill the enemy and make achievements. At this time, when he saw Xu Ping, his eyes shone. Behind Empress Liu, his relatives had disappeared. Without the power of relatives, Liu Yongnian was just a person who had been with Zhao Zhen since childhood and had a very close relationship.

To a certain extent, he can be regarded as Zhao Zhen's adopted son and is not a common person with special kindness. As for whether Zhao Zhen has any unclear relationship with his mother, it is not something like Xu Ping cares about. The emperor has no family affairs, which is also the affairs of the censors and has nothing to do with Xu Ping. As for the little conflict between his relatives and Xu Ping when Empress Dowager Liu was in power, Zhao Zhen could not extend Liu Yongnian, so what could Xu Ping not let go?

The incense table was set up, and the ceremony was performed as a ritual was received. The imperial edict was greatly unexpected to Xu Ping.

When he left the northwest, Xu Ping received the appointment of the Chief Secretary of the Communist Party of China. Unexpectedly, he went to Luoyang City and changed it to the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall. He was the second minister of Zhangshu, and was the second minister. The Chief Secretary of the Political Affairs Office of the Minister of the Communist Party of China. Xu Ping wanted to get the appointment, and it was beyond his expectations. In this way, the changes in the prime ministers of the two governments would be greatly changed.

After collecting the edict, Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin and Liu Yongnian: "The two envoys are running for hundreds of miles. Thank you for your hard work on the road. Let's hold a banquet to welcome you." As he said, he signaled his followers to get gold and silver rewards.

For officials, it is a great thing to pay a reward like a flowing stream, and almost everyone who sees it will have a share. This is an old example. Xu Ping's family is not short of money, so the two of them happily collected it.

After the banquet was held, after drinking two tours, Xu Ping asked the two: "It is naturally a great joy to worship ministers and ministers. Who wouldn't think of this day when he became an official? It's just that I became a minister of Jixian, and the political affairs hall became bigger."

Liu Yongnian spoke quickly and said, "Gonggong Li refused and went to the northwest to be the governor of the seven routes. Gonggong Yan became Zhaowen, and the Protector was Jixian, and there was no major change."

Xu Ping was surprised and asked carefully before he realized that it was Li Di who took the initiative to leave the Political Affairs Hall and invited him to the northwest.

The Protectorate was abolished and Xu Ping returned to Beijing. The northwest must have important officials, and the people who went there could not be ordinary people. Now the strategies of those routes have not been a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if the imperial guards are not the general ministers, they are all very troublesome figures. Wang Yan is outstanding in terms of qualifications and ability, but among those people, he feels like he can't sit in a seat. Of course, there is no need to say that Fang Xie dared to ask the court for great power. If he doesn't agree, he would invite another wise man. Wu Zunlu would not eat the soft and hard way, and he would not buy anyone's account. Xu Ping could suppress them with his achievements and qualifications. Once he left, there was no one in charge in the northwest who could convince everyone.

When Dangxiang was destroyed, the place was decided, and at this time there must be strong people in charge. These people have no problem with their abilities, but if they get together, they will have problems. The matter of cooperation and cooperation is often not settled.

There were not many suitable candidates in the court who could suppress them. Fan Yong and Xia Su messed up themselves in the northwest. Now no one will pay attention to them. Yan Shu really couldn't bear the burden. After all, only Li Di and Lu Yijian were left. Li Di was much older than Lu Yijian, but his body was much stronger than him. There was no way, so he was the only one to go in the end.

Another reason for this is that after Xu Ping returns to Beijing, he has to take care of the balance between the two prefectures. The front line is victorious, the reputation of the Privy Council has increased greatly, and his power is rapidly expanding, and he steadily competes with the subordinates of the Central Secretariat. In the Central Secretariat, Li Di can compete with the Privy Council of Lu Yijian, and Xu Ping can also do so in the Central Secretariat. But if Li Di and Xu Ping are allowed to be in the Central Secretariat together, it will be suppressed again, which is not conducive to the subsequent military reform. In order to make the military reform smoothly, Xu Ping returns to Beijing, and Li Di should leave.

After sighing, Xu Ping felt sorry for Li Di. At such an old age, he still had to run to the northwest and stabilized. He passed the Jinshi and embarked on the official career. He had some minor setbacks in the early stage, but after he was promoted to the middle level, he was always supported. From Zhang Zhibai, to Wang Zeng, to Li Di now, they brought himself to the position of prime minister.

Kou Zhun became the prime minister at a young age because Emperor Taizong of Song was eager to clean up the old forces and deliberately supported them. Xu Ping did not have such conditions. He had a lot of talents in front of him, and Zhao Zhen did not have the idea of ​​cleaning up his old ministers. He could become the prime minister in his early thirties and surpass Kou Zhun. I really want to thank these old ministers.

With internal and external troubles, even though everyone still has selfish intentions, they did not harm the public because of their own affairs. After Xu Ping joined the three departments, everyone worked together to finally have the current situation.

With the prime ministers in front of him like this, Xu Ping suddenly doubted whether his shoulders could take on the responsibility of the prime minister. When he was the prime minister, he would not only be able to do things. As the leader of the ministers, the prime minister must truly rule the world.

The power of the prime minister in the Song Dynasty was not strong, just about which prime minister was not strong. However, if the prime minister was added together, the power of the prime minister was extremely heavy, far greater than the power of the dynasties after the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is not a saying that the rule of the heavens with scholars and officials is not a matter of fact, this is a real system. After unprecedented centralization, the imperial power and prime minister formed an interdependent relationship, with more contradictions and more cooperation.

In the current personnel affairs of the two prefectures, Prime Minister Yan Shu clearly shows that he is in charge of the position. He has no place to suppress Xu Ping except for his qualifications. He wants to be a Taiping Guardian. Xu Ping only needs to let him be a Taiping Guardian. The real burden lies on Xu Ping's shoulders.
