Chapter 99

After confirming that Xu Ping's condition was not serious, Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang were completely relieved. ︾Le︾Wen︾Little︾ Say|After drinking a sip of water, resting, shaking off the fatigue on their bodies, Xu Zheng pulled Xu Ping aside and asked in a low voice: "Darang, your body is not seriously injured. How do you say the "seeking a doctor" fake? If you rest at home, will there be any censor gossip?"

Xu Ping pointed to his mouth: "What are you talking about? Now my mouth is swollen, as if I have a walnut in my mouth every day. Could it be that I don't want to go to see a doctor? My dad doesn't care, and I'm happy to be at home for two months!"

Now his son is a high-ranking official, and he is a sensible figure in the court. Xu Zheng himself is just a small official who is not a businessman. He feels that everything in the officialdom is right, and he has limited knowledge. But he always feels a little uneasy. He is a very lively person at home, but he doesn't go to court and doesn't go to court to watch things in the yamen. There will always be someone behind him? The small officials who were in the previous dynasty's palace thought of all the ways to ask for leave. This kind of "inviting a doctor" holiday is punished every month.

Especially recently, I heard that the Censorate was going to resume the system of transfer, and the Censorate was arrested very strictly. Xu Zheng had been resting these days and felt panic from time to time in Zhongmu Manor, fearing that the Censor would catch his handle.

There are few small officials in the court in the front hall who have a capable son like Xu Zheng, and they have a wealth of wealth and food and clothing. Many people have to support their families. Xu Zheng knew that in order to subsidize their family income, a few colleagues still sell breakfast in the capital in the morning. In order to take care of their business, they have to stop doing some money. Every day, they go to court like fighting.

The living environment determines the vision. Xu Zheng contacts these little people in the officialdom every day. Most of the wealthy families who are close to him are strange people like Zhao Yunchu, so he naturally does not understand the ecology of the court. The small officials in the front hall, even the princes and princes, the uncles and the ma family, and the censors are negligent in their courtship. They have no courtesy, but no one says anything about the real power of the ministers.

Just like Xu Zheng, whether he went to court or not, whether he asked for leave according to the system, the Censorate pretended not to see it, but he was just suspicious. The reason was also very simple. It would be great if these ministers and families who held real power did not use their power to cause trouble everywhere. It would be that if they did not go to court on time.

The censors were clear-headed and were staring at those who had high status but no real power. Once the people in their family did not abide by the rules, they handed over various memorials.

Seeing that his son didn't care, he had no idea. He really wanted to find someone to talk to him, so he had to pull Zhang Sanniang aside, and the old man whispered for a long time.

Everyone took a break, and Zhang Sanniang arranged to prepare for a family dinner. Her son was not seriously injured, and she was finally able to feel relieved and she had to celebrate.

At this moment, Xu Chang came in from the front and whispered to Xu Ping: "Dalang, two guests came outside to say goodbye to you. You have to meet you no matter what."

Xu Ping said: "Who is so important? I didn't say that I haven't seen guests these two days, so my family is quiet for a few days!"

Xu Chang said helplessly: "It was Sima Chi's Censor and Fan Daijian, who was the Imperial College. They said they were about to leave the capital and go to Heyin County to do business. The matter involved Dalang, why didn't we meet?"

Xu Ping didn't know that the court sent someone to Heyin County to investigate him, so he was stunned: "If they go to Heyin County, what does it have to do with me? I am not the magistrate there!"

"Oh, I heard that yesterday, Prince Lu of the court took charge and asked these two people to go to Heyin County to investigate Dalang. Before the Wang Yan was demoted, he said that Dalang was in some place of poisoning in Heyin County and sent someone to investigate."

Xu Ping didn't say anything for a while, thinking about the meaning of this sentence. After the comments in Chongzheng Hall, it was inevitable that Wang Yan was demoted, but he did not ask where he was demoted. Unexpectedly, before this guy left the city, he would have to cheat himself. It is normal for Wang Yan to say such words, and the court just pretended not to hear them. Why did Lu Yijian take this opportunity to make trouble? Without the prime minister as the leader, everyone would definitely pretend that he had not heard such words.

After thinking about it, Xu Ping said to Xu Chang: "Since you have to see each other, you can go out and let them wait in the flower hall. I'll clean up and go there immediately."

Xu Chang said yes, and went to the front to reply.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Ping couldn't figure out what Lu Yijian meant. Lu Yijian did not object to the repair of the river. It was not as stressed by Wang Zeng. What the hell did he do when the matter was settled?

Back in the study, Xiuxiu served to change her husband's uniform. Xu Ping thought about it and asked Liu Xiaoyi to meet the guests with him.

In the small flower hall, Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi sat quietly drinking tea. The errand was spread on them, and both of them felt extremely unlucky. At this time, Xu Ping was sick at the court, and the emperor was using it as a typical propaganda. If the two came back to attack Xu Ping with trivial matters, Zhao Zhen would not do it first. The two of them just said that Zhao Zhen's words were just asking them to go to Heyin County to find out why Xu Ping was tired and sick there. They could not eat well orally, and they were devoted to work. The more detailed the deeds, the better. It would be better if a fellow villager dictates and draws a flower note and brings the confession back to the capital. If they could bring two umbrellas of the people back, it would be best.

But how could the two of them do such things? They went out to make trouble, but when they came back, they praised them and pleased the emperor's close ministers. They were shameless! Even if Xu Ping was really okay, they would only come back to report to the greatest extent. Xu Ping was still abiding by the law in the local area, and there was nothing else.

Zhao Zhen can fool him, but he is fooled by the emperor anyway, but Xu Ping and others have to come here to explain it clearly. This trip was involuntary, so if you have any opinions, I will find Lu Yijian after you have any questions.

Xu Ping changed into the public uniform and walked into the small flower hall with a calm expression. He was sick wherever he was sick. There was no need to pretend to be a crutch and pretend to be a strange person. If it was spread out in the future, it would make people laugh.

Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi stood up quickly when they heard the footsteps and said the etiquette. Fan Zhongyan asked, "I wonder how Xu Waijian is in good health now? At this time, I take the liberty to disturb you, I hope to forgive you!"

Xu Ping pointed to his swollen face and said, "It's nothing big. I just grew a tooth wrong recently, which made my mouth swollen and my body became weak. Speaking of which, thanks to Fan Waijian yesterday, I was really ugly!"

Fan Zhongyan hurriedly said, "Xu Waijian is polite, and he is the same court as his ministers, so he should watch over and help each other."

After saying that, he looked at Sima Chi. Xu Ping's confession made them feel better.

Sima Chi turned his body slightly and introduced to Xu Ping to a fifteen-year-old boy standing behind him: "The dog Sima Guang, I have been with me in the capital recently. This time I leave Beijing, I will take him to expand my experience."

Sima Guang came forward to pay homage to Xu Ping on his junior service: "Study Sima Guang in the evening and pay homage to Xu Waijian."

When Xu Ping heard this name, he couldn't help but look at Sima Guang a few more times. He remembered that he had learned a lot of things in class in his previous life. He never thought that he would become his junior now. Although he was young, he looked old and had a regular look, just like Gao Ruonai, but the details were a bit vague.

When I meet you, I must give you a gift, especially a person who has been famous for thousands of years. Unfortunately, Xu Ping was not prepared when he came out. He touched his body and finally took out a fountain pen and handed it to Sima Guang: "I just came out in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. Although this pen is a bit rough, I made it myself and has been used in Yongzhou for a while. You take it, you can learn and improve, and write some beautiful articles."

Sima Chi didn't expect Xu Ping to give such a precious gift and hurriedly said, "Why are you so polite to do it? This is your beloved thing, how can a dog be afforded?"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "Oh, you are just writing. Look at your son who is mature and polite, he will be the prime minister in the future. If you take this money, work harder."

Sima Chi hardly believed in his ears. Although Xu Ping was not famous for literature, he was a young Jinshi and was also a Tanhualang back then. Especially when he made many meritorious achievements, he was in his early twenties. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the younger generation now, and his status is extraordinary. What's more important is that he had never heard of him praise others casually before, but now he directly said that his son is the talent of the prime minister in the future. This comment really made him feel heavy.

On the contrary, Sima Guang was generous and took the pen over, saying, "Thank you for your kindness. I will remember it in my heart and think it's hard! I often hear Uncle Pang's letter mention that I will build achievements in Lingnan and open up a world. To the south of the Five Ridges, no one dares to call him the name of Jingzheng directly, and always make people live in it!"

Pang Ji had a very good relationship with Sima Chi, and he was not as good as brothers. After he worked in Yongzhou, his family's children were entrusted to Sima Chi to take care of him and studied with Sima Guang. Pang Ji often wrote back a letter to come back when talking about Xu Ping's reputation there, and he was full of admiration and admiration.

Xu Ping didn't know that he had such reputation. Although the people of Yongzhou would send gifts to his home every New Year holiday, they would never have imagined that level. After hearing Sima Guang's words, he felt happy.

After all, there is still a gap in thought, and Xu Ping could not truly understand the emotions of people in this era. His greatest achievement in Yongzhou was not to destroy many forces and break Jiaozhi, but to educate and enforce the barbarians to be the first. From this time on, it was truly an indispensable part of the Song Dynasty.
