After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng looked at each other without saying a word.

In just over a year, Li Yonghe was promoted from a young military officer in the eighth rank to a senior governor under the fourth rank. The promotion speed is shocking and is extremely rare since the founding of the country. However, Zhao Zhen still felt that it was not enough and the promotion was too slow. His uncle was so old that he was just a small official. How could he think about it? However, the country has laws and regulations, and the emperor could not act randomly. Now that he has a chance to make meritorious contributions, he naturally has to seize it.

There was a silence in the hall, and Zhao Zhen leaned forward, his eyes constantly sweeping around the several ministers of the prime ministers.

Xu Ping lowered his eyes and said nothing. This truth is the same as the silence of Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun just now about Wang Su's reign as judge Mu. Everyone knows that the Xu family and Li Yong and the family are the best, so he naturally has to avoid it.

After a while, Zhang Shixun said: "Your Majesty, Governor Li is naturally the right candidate. However, his official position has changed again and again this year, and each term has only been several months. I am afraid it will be inconvenient to change again at this time."

Wang Zeng said: "The change of duty is too fast, and exams are useless. Your Majesty should think twice."

Zhao Zhen looked at everyone with a tense face, and suddenly asked Wang Deyong: "Taiwei Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Debang said with a blank expression, "Why do you think the ministers will be dismissed by the ministers?"

"The group shepherd's envoy is in charge of Ma Zheng, who is already closely related to the military, but you can say it's okay!"

Wang Deyong was willing to get involved in this kind of thing, just said: "I really don't know about the affairs of the group and herds."

Zhao Zhen saw the people present, Lu Yijian didn't say anything. Although Li Zi didn't speak, he didn't agree with him even when he saw his appearance. Yan Shu and Mei Xun didn't need to ask, and they didn't even count on what they said.

Sitting on it, he was silent for a while, Zhao Zhen stopped talking about this matter and simply disbanded. The Maid Department of the Maids was as agreed before, and Wang Su went to serve as the Maids judge, and discussed the new horse breeding method with Xu Ping. It is necessary to discuss it later.

Xu Ping left the home, but when he saw that the others did not come out, he knew that they had other things to discuss. Anyway, it was something that had nothing to do with him, so he didn't worry about it. He went to the gate to look for Zhang.

Li Zhang took off his military uniform and was handing over to others. When he saw Xu Ping coming out, he hurriedly said, "Brother is coming out just in time, and I'm about to go home, so why not go together."

Xu Ping nodded, waited for a while, Li Zhang stopped cleaning, and the two left Donghua Gate together.

Turning to the front of the imperial city, Xu Ping asked Li Zhang to wait for a while, then went back to the yamen to explain the matter, took his entourage, and walked forward along the Yuwai.

Not far away, looking at the Daxiangguo Temple ahead, Li Zhang smiled and said, "If you have free time today, we might as well go to the Shaozhuyuan in Xiangguo Temple in front to eat barbecue. You were still a commoner back then, and we went together in the capital. After many years, we never went in again. The master of barbecue is old and I don't know when I will stop."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's just right, it's still early, so I'll have a few drinks."

Xiangguo Temple is divided into many courtyards, some of which are rented out, so even if the monks live in it are not under the jurisdiction of Xiangguo Temple. Moreover, even the monks in Xiangguo Temple are all kinds of things and do. It is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital. Daxiangguo Temple is not so much a temple as a loose market.

When Li Zhang and the two entered the Burning Garden, a little shady monk cleaned up cleanly and came up like a servant in a shop outside and said, "Two guests, please come in and invite me. What are you going to eat today? What are you drinking?"

After many years of coming, Xu Ping saw that more and more vulgar cities were gradually different from ordinary hotels outside. The monk Huiming, who made the place famous in the past, was already old, and now the people in charge of his affairs are his disciples. Since childhood, these monks of wine and meat even threw Huiming's Buddha nature out of the nine heavens, just thinking about opening a store to make money.

After asking the entourage to go outside, Xu Ping and Li Zhang found a table and stool to sit down, and said to Xiao Sha Mi: "First two pounds of cooked pork, then a few fresh tea and vegetables. By the way, what wine do you have here?"

"There are all kinds of famous wines in the capital, and our hospital has everything. What should the guest officials drink?"

Xu Ping could no longer drink the usual water wine, so he said, "If you have strong wine, then come a small bottle."

The little novice monk got the order and ran to the kitchen quickly.

Li Zhang looked at the back of the little novice monk and sighed: "This place is the best Buddhist place in the world, but we come to drink and eat meat. Alas, it is really a blasphemy of the Buddha."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "If you sell monks, we will come to eat and drink, why bother to be sad about the spring and autumn! We are all people who have no connection with Buddha. If we can come to the temple with wine and meat, it is our fate with Buddhism."

There were also many scholars and officials who were close to monks in this era, and many of them were also very particular about Zen and practiced both Confucianism and Buddhism. However, Xu Ping was not interested and kept a distance from Taoist monks, let alone reading Buddhist scriptures and hiding. In the temple, he sold wine and meat. Xu Ping thought this was good, and it was much better than just relying on thinking about the incense of good men and women.

Whether Buddhism or Taoism, temples and temples were not only religious places, but also places for people to gather and play, or even places for stalls and trade. Just like Daxiangguo Temple, there are markets on the first day of the 1st, the fifteenth day and the eighth day of the 1st day, the eighth day of the 1st day, the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the 1st day of the

There are countless temple properties around Daxiangguo Temple, involving all walks of life. Xiangguo Temple itself is a shopping mall in the capital. Not only taxes, but the income of Xiangguo Temple is shared with the government. Kaifeng Prefecture also takes special care of the place as a source of wealth for itself. Seriously speaking, this is also an example of collusion between officials and businessmen.

It is precisely because of this kind of business atmosphere that the largest shop in Sansi is open nearby, which complements the street stall market in Xiangguo Temple. Recently, it has become more prosperous, and it has a vague momentum of surpassing the outside of Donghuamen to become the first business district in the capital.

After a moment, the little novice monk came with the wine and meat. Li Zhang poured the wine into the glass and raised his glass and said, "I haven't been drinking with my brother for many days, drink the same glass!"

After drinking the wine in the glass and taking a few sips of the menu, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "Brother, we are all my family, and if you have something to do, I will tell you directly. I just discussed matters in the hall and talked about the lack of staff in the group herder's department. The official's intention was to let Uncle Li Shi serve as the deputy envoy of the group herder, accumulate some credit, and get promoted in the future to save others from gossip. Alas, the ministers didn't agree much."

In principle, the content of the discussion in the palace cannot be discussed outside, let alone mentioned it to the parties involved. Li Zhang naturally knew this rule. Xu Ping is a steady person and rarely does anything concise. Now that he sees Xu Ping taking the initiative to mention it, he knows that this matter is probably not so simple. He asked hurriedly: "Brother, is this a good or a bad thing to my father?"

"Of course it's a good thing. I tell you, according to the official's wishes, I'm afraid the edict will come down. When you go back and tell Uncle Li, don't refuse. The ministers didn't agree. He refused to give up. If he pushed him, he was afraid that the appointment would not be possible. Our two families are close friends. Uncle Li was appointed as the deputy envoy of the group pastor, and both public and private are good things. If someone comes, don't talk about it carefully. If you want to learn the method in my village, how can you learn it? This is my method. Why can others get the credit?"
