Chapter 17

Although he felt a little awkward, Xu Ping still paid a gift. ●⌒He came to this world, except for his own parents, Xu Ping was really not used to giving gifts to others, even if this person was the emperor.

The emperor was obviously able to suppress the scene than Xu Ping, and said in a deep voice to the little yellow sect in the distance: "Thank you for your hard work in the censor, I will give you a seat!"

Xu Ping was stunned and hurriedly said, "My official position is humble, where is there a place to sit in front of His Majesty?"

The emperor smiled and said, "You are no better than others. When the palace was sung, auspicious light appeared in the sky. Zhang Xianggong said that you were a capable minister given to our dynasty by God. In the six years of Lingnan, you have countless political achievements and have made great contributions to destroying Shenglong Mansion and capturing the monarch and ministers of Jiaozhi. This shows that Zhang Xianggong had foresight."

Speaking of this, the emperor leaned forward and looked at Xu Ping and said, "Besides, you are not an outsider. When the national uncle was in trouble, it was entirely due to the care of your father and son, so that he died in the death of Chengxiang. Today, you and the national uncle are in a family friendship. Why are you an outsider with me? Just treat our friends as we don't have to be polite."

What else could Xu Ping say when the emperor said this? He was a person who was not very accustomed to the etiquette of this era. I remember that after the death of this little emperor in history, the temple name Renzong was mixed up with the world itself. I don’t know if the temple name in the future would be the word “Ren”. I think it would probably not be the case again.

The little yellow gate quickly moved a piece of paper and placed it behind Xu Ping.

This is the treatment that only the ministers of the prime minister have. Xu Ping was not good enough to sit down when he moved in, so he had to sit down without hesitation. As for the usual tea soup that the prime ministers still had, Xu Ping had no share, and just sat down.

Emperor Zhao Zhen saw Xu Ping sitting below restrained and said with a smile: "In Lingnan, you have made great contributions to the country. Today, I meet in the palace. I don't have to be a robe or a crown. I don't look like a hero. But you are not comparable to others, so you don't have to take these false rituals to heart."

Xu Ping hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Since the morning retreat from the Chuigong Hall, the emperor will change his court uniform. He summoned the couple in the back hall, but he often served the heads, and the etiquette was not so particular, and he seemed much casual. Xu Ping's heroes returned to the capital, not to mention that all officials welcomed them out of the city, in order to show his solemnity. The emperor should also meet in the front hall, and praise them in front of the officials to show his kindness.

However, after all, Xu Ping's handling result was determined by Empress Dowager Liu when he was alive. At this time, because the Right Censor Fan Zhongyan said that the court was not allowed to talk about the gains and losses of the Empress Dowager when he was in power. The low-key handling of Xu Ping's return to Beijing was also a cover-up for the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Zhen said: "Since the last time you entered the report, you broke the Shenglong Mansion in Jiaozhi, captured the evil Li Foma, and destroyed the disaster of Jiaozhi. I often want to hear you talk about it myself. How did this battle be fought? This dynasty has come to establish a country, and since the whole world is unified, there are not many such great victories."

Xu Ping bowed and said, "It's a lucky thing to win."

Seeing that the emperor kept looking at him, he had to talk about the process of fighting with Jiaozhi at that time. From the efforts to pacify Guangyuan Prefecture, to the development of Liangzhou Menzhou to the invasion of Jiaozhi, to the talk of him leading his troops into Shenglong Mansion, capturing the monarch and ministers of Jiaozhi, and subsequent disposal.

Shi Quanbin, who had been standing by the side, interrupted at this time: "I was just a meeting at that time. Liangzhou and Jiaozhi fought. Xu Ping's command was proper and the battle was very exciting."

"Yes, when you came back, you demonstrated that battle in this Chongzheng Hall. Although it was just a rough idea, it would not show the majesty of our Song army on the battlefield and the ingenuity of the censor. You can see one or two."

According to the conventional interview with the monarch and ministers, the eunuchs must hold back, and even the guards can only watch from a distance to prevent the content of the conversation from being leaked. This is a very taboo thing, because there are only two monarch and ministers during the interview. Once the content is leaked, the summoned minister will be suspicious or even punished by the monarch. However, Shi Quanbin had personally experienced the war, so he was allowed to stand aside and participate in the conversation between Xu Ping and the Emperor.

After talking for a long time, Xu Ping's awkward mood finally calmed down and his speech became organized.

Zhao Zhen asked about Xu Ping's governance in Yongzhou again. From the beginning of his visit to Yongzhou for a magistrate, to the establishment of sugar sugar, and to the practice of the Ding method in Yongzhou, he asked in great detail.

This is the real content of today's interview. Through Xu Ping's answer, combined with the memorials given by ordinary times and information obtained from other methods, there is a comprehensive evaluation of Xu Ping's ability to govern. Even if you are close ministers, you cannot chat with the emperor every day. The emperor's impression of the ability of ministers to govern is largely due to the emperor's remarks when he was in office and the mutual agreement when he returned to Beijing. This impression is extremely important. The so-called symmetry of entry can be promoted immediately.

When it comes to political achievements, Xu Ping was most proud of two items, one was to build sugar sugar, and the other was to practice the law of raising D. As for the Guangyuanzhou, it was the second. The two items were his job, and the other was to change the world and set a foundation for the Yongzhou area, and to benefit future generations.

Zhao Zhen listened very seriously. Compared with the memorials he read before and the impression he formed at that time, he roughly evaluated Xu Ping's specific governance ability and what he was suitable for.

Since the Empress Dowager was there, Shi Quanbin was sent to the South China Sea to buy pearls, and he brought back some information about sugar services. The pictures and the detailed data had left a deep impression on Zhao Zhen. Now, after Xu Ping's personal explanation, it turned out that some unknown things were convenient and had a sudden enlightenment.

When Xu Ping implemented these measures, he paid attention to combining them with the administrative system at this time, which was just a supplement to the existing system, rather than starting a new product. Therefore, outsiders think that although they feel a little disharmonious and think that Xu Ping is fantastic, they don’t think it’s nonsense, and they even smile knowingly when they are.

The king and his ministers asked questions and answers, and it took nearly an hour to talk about Xu Ping's governance in Yongzhou. The emperor had time limits for the summoning of the emperor. Xu Ping had already exceeded the time, so he had to skip some other submissions.

Zhao Zhen leaned over to Xu Ping and said, "I already know the Bachelor's College. After a few ***** admission examination halls. Tiansheng's Jinshi lists for five years. Except for Wang Yaochen and Zhao Guai, there are no ones who have been admitted to the museum. This time, you have two terms in other places. The ministers are here to protect you, Han Qi and others, don't slack off when you are admitted to the hospital for the examination."

Xu Ping thanked him for his kindness, glanced at the emperor, but stopped talking.

Zhao Zhen saw it and asked Xu Ping: "Why, what do you mean by saying it? Although you and I are divided into monarchs and ministers, and have a uncle, the relationship is different from others, so don't be restricted."

Xu Ping spoke cautiously: "I thought about it on the way, and with my temperament, I am afraid that I will not be a minister of the Pavilion. If I enter the Pavilion, if I do not do good things, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not look good."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It turns out that it's for this. It's okay. As long as you pass the bachelor's examination, you may not be able to enter the Pavilion for proofreading. You can also do a job. Pavilion is a place where the country and the dynasty can store materials. You are my chosen minister, how can you not enter?"

Xu Ping thanked him and sighed. He didn't have any chance to make a name for himself in his previous life, so he stayed in the library at the station for nothing. It's no reason to live such a life in this world. The lyricist in the library talks about literary talent, but not only study, but also often do poetry and literature. His colleagues also have poetry clubs. That kind of life is a dream for other scholars, but it is really a torture for themselves.

Looking at Xu Ping's appearance, Zhao Zhen smiled: "I heard that before you returned to Beijing, you had been asking your relatives and friends to plan the affairs of the three departments. Is there such a thing?"

Xu Ping looked embarrassed, but he was not easy to answer.

In front of the emperor, why did you say that you were seeking a job and entrepreneurship? Isn’t this a nonsense? Besides, before coming in, the confession to the Secretary of the Central Committee was clearly written and you were not allowed to give me a favor. It was written in black and white, signed by myself.

As for Zhao Zhen, it was not surprising that there were Imperial City Division and Hemen Division, all of them were more or less involved in the mission of spying on news from the foreign court. Xu Ping made such a big noise in Lingnan, and returning to Beijing would naturally make them pay more attention.

Looking at Xu Ping's appearance, Zhao Zhen was secretly proud and said to Xu Ping: "If you pass the bachelor's examination this time, let you go to the Sansi to do a ministry. The Yantik Judge has always been short of people and has not obtained the right candidate. You are the first person who reported to the Sansi to the Sansi several times. It's just that there are many things to do in Lingnan, so you have never been transferred back."

Xu Ping was overjoyed. He thought that this job would not be done for a day or two. If the emperor said it, it would become a division. At this time, the three envoys were still Cheng Lin, and the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron were the doctor of the Ministry of War, and there was only one Salt and Iron Judge Xu Shen. Xu Pingfu was just right in all aspects.

Seeing Xu Ping's happy look, Zhao Zhen sighed: "You have outstanding political achievements in Yongzhou, you have made great contributions to the country by pacifying Guangyuanzhou and defeating Jiaozhi. You should use them seriously. However, the empress dowager is not too good to go, so you should be patient for the time being. If you are dedicated to political affairs, you will definitely be of great use in the future. Don't rush for a moment."

Xu Ping was already satisfied with the position of the judge of Yan and Iron. He had no ambitions in politics. He had a past job in the capital and was able to take care of his family. He felt full of happiness.

The people from Hemensi who were guarding outside have urged the little yellow gate guarding the gate many times. Xu Ping's time to enter the right time has exceeded. If he delayed it, the subsequent shifts had to be cancelled. Although this kind of thing can show that Xu Ping is favored by the emperor, it is also easy to offend his colleagues. People don't know how much effort they have spent to wait for how much time they have to have the chance to meet the emperor, but they will not feel resentful when they are squeezed out by Xu Ping.

Xu Ping still gave a great gift and sued Emperor Zhao Zhen.

When I walked to the hall gate, I saw that the sun was already hanging in the west sky outside, with a warm red color, and it was already evening before I knew it.

Xu Ping felt a little disappointed and was a little disappointed with the meeting with the emperor this time. Just like two wooden men, they were mercilessly placed by an invisible hand. Xu Ping felt that this kind of meeting was greater than the content.

Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping's back and thoughts in his heart. Since childhood, Empress Dowager Liu has been strict in charge and educated well. How to be a good emperor has almost become his instinct. When facing serious matters, he is involuntarily dominated by this instinct, acting and speaking according to the standards of a good imperialist. But in his heart, he can't help but get tired of this kind of life. So when facing Xu Ping, a special minister, because Li Yong and himself have a special relationship with him, Zhao Zhen also wants to be more casual. However, in this institutional occasion, he cannot follow his own personality. The emperor is not only a person, but also a symbol.

Many times, the symbolic meaning of the emperor is even far beyond the meaning of a person.
