Chapter 58 Promotion to Deputy Ambassador

The weather did not improve, and the situation in the capital became severe. There were many troubles in which the people gathered to cause trouble. Quan Zhi Zhang Guan, Kaifeng Prefecture, had no choice but to ask the Imperial City Office to participate in the strong suppression.

The Imperial City Office was the eyes and ears of the emperor, and the bureaucrats and officials were extremely strict in their defense, and tried their best to prevent the Imperial City Office from participating in the public security of the capital. Zhang Guan's idea suddenly became angry, and internal and external affairs were discussed.

On the 28th, Zhang Guan, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, was dismissed and was appointed as the governor of Mengzhou.

Kaifeng cannot be without a prefect, so the Secretariat drafted a candidate, using Fan Feng, who was still in the capital after the ceremony, was the first candidate. As a result, when he returned from the familiarity, Emperor Zhao Zhen chose Cheng Lin, the envoy of the Three Sessions.

The three officials were vacant, and the Secretariat once again chose Fan Feng as the first candidate.

At the same time, the salt and iron judge Xu Shen, who was ineffective in casting iron and copper coins, wasting a huge amount of precious fuel, and became the target of gathering fire. In particular, Kou Yu, the former commander of the Sansi, who was sent to Beijing to report his duties, said that Xu Shen was in trouble with the country and the people, and should be severely punished.

On the 29th, Xu Shen dismissed the judge of salt and iron. However, the officials still had fantasies about miscellaneous iron coins and asked Xu Shen to be the transfer envoy of Jiangnan East Road and continued to study the casting of new coins, which lasted for one year, and casting one million coins.

On the same day, Zhao Zhen unexpectedly did not choose Fan Feng, but instead chose Kou Wei as the new Sansi envoy.

At this point, both inside and outside the court knew that the emperor had no intention of changing the candidate for Yongliang Lu's pacification envoy, so Lu Yijian completely gave up and asked Fan Feng to officially prepare to take office in Lingnan.

On the 30th, at the suggestion of Kou Yu, the new envoy of the Third Division, Ren Bu was promoted to the right censor and the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture. The former judge of the Salt and Iron and the doctor of the Ministry of War, Xu Ping, was promoted to the deputy envoy of Yan and Iron and the former governor of Yan and Iron and the chief of the Palace, Guo Zi, was promoted to the new judge of Yan and Iron and Iron.

In a few days, Sansi completed a major blood change.

At this time, the charcoal sent from the palace was about to be sold out, but the weather still did not improve. The clear-headed officials understood that at this point, they might really have to release charcoal according to Xu Ping's proposal. For Xu Ping had reached the high position of the deputy envoy of the salt and iron in a few months, no one came out to speak out.

If there is any official in the court now who has a similar resume to Xu Ping, then there is only the new Sansi envoy Kou.

Kou Yu was born in a low-key manner. After becoming the Jinshi, he served as a military prosecutor in Pengzhou and captured Li Shun's remnants Xie Caisheng and others to send him to the capital. Since then, bandits were out of Chuanxia, ​​and barbarians caused trouble. He has repeatedly recruited Kou Yu to go and challenge him, but has never failed. In addition to not having great military achievements like Xu Ping and having a glaring political achievement such as sugar business, Kou Yu's resume is better than Xu Ping's.

But Kou Wei was very unlucky, or his personality determined his destiny. He was demoted several times because of his improper delivery of the candidates or the recommendation of talents. He was demoted several times because of his improper office. When he was the chief minister, he was the three officials. Of course, Kou Wei was the most unlucky one because of his ability. After Ding Wei fell, he had a personal relationship with Ding Wei, and was not considered a political accomplice and was not implicated too much, but the label of Ding Wei's accomplice on his body could not be revealed. He was even called "San Rui of Jiangxi" by Emperor Zhenzong. Peng Qi, a secretary-general of the famous article, specially wrote a "Fu of the Dogs of the Family" to satirize Kou Wei after Ding Wei's fall. Now that Peng Qi has passed away, the Dogs of the Family have become the nickname of Kou Wei.

Ten years have passed, and Ding Wei's influence has finally faded. Now the Chaoli period is the era of Lu Yijian, but Kou Yan has also grown old. This time he entered the Sansi again, which is his last attempt. Whether he can reach the priest at the last position of his life and enter the Political Affairs Hall depends on this time.

On the first day of November, Xu Ping went to court to thank him for his kindness, and after he left court, he returned to the Sansi Yamen.

Han Zong was on standby in the capital, and immediately took the matter after he was appointed as the judge of Yantik. Xu Ping came to pay his respects as soon as he came back.

This is his old subordinate, who has formed a tacit understanding over the years. Looking at Han Zong, Xu Ping's somewhat depressed mood has finally improved a little since he returned to the capital.

After saying some gossip, Xu Ping said: "From now on, you will be in charge of military, helms, business taxation and case establishment. Guo Zi will have to wait a few days before he arrives in the capital. You will also take charge of the other three cases these days."

Korean vocabulary promise.

Xu Ping also said: "The most important thing these days is heating in the capital. Today is the first day of the first day of the first day, you will go with you later. The charcoal shop has never lowered the price when selling charcoal in the official store. What you think is that they will be in their mood and sell as much as they want. Then tell them that before the snow in the capital, the price of charcoal is set at 100 cigarettes. If they feel that it is not worth it, they will not sell it. There is also a charcoal shop, which is set at 120 cigarettes, and the price of charcoal is not allowed to rise before the snow in the same way. Let's see when these lines can last. If they can't suppress them this time, it will become more and more difficult to estimate the price in the next ten-day market. Maybe they have to let them go."

Han Zong said: "I understand that I will do what the superior wants. But I don't know how much charcoal is stored in the government now. If the charcoal market is closed and the people have nowhere to buy charcoal, something big will happen."

"Cheng Lin is not Zhang Guan. With him as the prefect of Kaifeng, how could such a mess happen? I will go to the provincial master later, and after discussing, the provincial master will come forward to find Kaifeng Prefecture. There must be a safe way to come out."

"I understand, so I go."

After seeing Han Zong off, Xu Ping looked at the file before the case. He had been a judge of Yantik for many days and understood everything. Ren Bu had nothing to explain, but it was just some daily chores.

The Sansi is a department with deep bureaucracy. All official affairs are rules to follow, and most public officials are familiar with them. To put it bluntly, it means that without the chief officer, most departments can still operate normally.

Now Xu Ping doesn't want to cause more trouble. Apart from a few important things, such as stopping the minting of new coins, everything is temporarily acting according to routine. In any case, he has to deal with the weather crisis he faces in the past and present.

After dealing with some documents, before Xu Ping went to find Kou, he first came to the Salt and Iron Department to find Xu Ping.

After giving up the seat, the miscellaneous officials gave tea. Xu Ping said: "The first day of the resignation, I was going to pay my respects to the provincial master, how could I dare to work with the provincial master to move to our department!"

Kou said, "It's just a vain ritual, what do you care about! In this extraordinary period, you should make extraordinary achievements and not delay them for a moment. This afternoon, the emperor summoned me to report to the Kaifeng Prefecture Imperial College and listen to your opinions first."

Xu Ping said respectfully: "I am young and shallow, so what can I know? However, the weather is very cold now, and the charcoal emitted from the palace will be sold out soon, so I can no longer expect how much charcoal is released in the palace. In extraordinary times, I suggest discussing with Kaifeng Prefecture, ordering the charcoal shop and the charcoal shop to sell at a hundred and twenty cents each before the snow-filled land is done. Those who raise the price without authorization are illegal. Now the charcoal is concentrated, the Kaifeng Prefecture will immediately count the household registration and prepare to distribute it according to households. First, get through this period of cold time and then slowly make arguing."
