After the exchange of reports, Yan Wenying demoted his official position to the chief of Qinzhou, and changed it to the chief of Yunzhou before leaving the capital. At this time, Yan Wenying was still lucky and wrote a letter to entrusting his illness to stay in the capital. In the end, Fan Zhongyan gave Yan Wenying a fatal blow. He entrusted his funeral to the eldest son and entered the palace to fight for his life. Zhao Zhen finally agreed to exile Yan Wenying to Lingnan. Yan Wenying's son Yan Shiliang was demoted together.

As an eunuch, as soon as he left the capital, Yan Wenying was like a grasshopper after autumn, and died on the road before leaving the west road of Beijing.

No one cares about how Yan Wenying died on the road. Such criminals who offended countless people would make things difficult for the eunuchs who escorted them. Lingnan was thousands of miles away, and few people were willing to go there. Not to mention taking good care of themselves, they might not eat and drink in time. In the past, the eunuchs were demoted, but they did not give food and drink. It was a common program to deliberately put food and smelly food. Cao Yong couldn't bear this humiliation on the road and hanged himself on his own. Not to mention that when Kou Zhun and Li Di were demoted by Ding Wei, the eunuchs in the prison directly threatened them. If they hadn't endured the two of them, they would have been forced to death.

The most important thing for officials is that Lu Yijian lost the most critical inner support in the palace from then on, like breaking his arm.

In the second half of the month, Fan Zhongyan, who firmly demanded severe punishment for Yan Wenying, was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and changed the Tianzhang Pavilion from the Imperial College to the Kaifeng Prefecture. The political struggle in the capital opened a new page.

At this time, there was no secret in the officialdom. The one who came to Luoyang City with Fan Zhongyan's appointment was the rumor that Xu Ping heard. The reason why Fan Zhongyan learned about Kaifeng Prefecture was because Lu Yijian felt that he was forced too much and deliberately found a job for Fan Zhongyan for a series of dramas, so that he would not always focus on finding Lu Yijian in the future. Of course, Fan Zhongyan did not appreciate it, and still wrote a chapter to impeach Lu Yijian from time to time. The political atmosphere in the capital was even more tense than before.

He knew that Kaifeng Prefecture was one of the "four heads" for the magistrate, but Fan Zhongyan's qualifications were obviously not enough. His official was the Wailang, the Ministry of Rites, and was a thousand miles apart from Xu Ping. He used to be a prefecture and county magistrate. He had neither the qualifications of a transfer envoy nor the qualifications to serve in an important yamen in the capital, which made him a little reluctant to know Kaifeng Prefecture. The minimum qualifications of the Kaifeng Prefecture chief officer are those with a waiting system or above or above, or those with two or more provinces. Fan Zhongyan was just qualified to be with Tianzhang Pavilion.

It is precisely because of this that the officialdom has determined that this appointment was a trick used by Lu Yijian.

Putting the court newspaper on the table, Xu Ping leaned on the chair and was quietly in a state of consciousness.

According to the recent political situation, it is time for Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng to decide the first round. The accident between Yan Wenying was a signal, which gave the people who opposed Lu Yijian great confidence. They would probably press Lu Yijian in the past few months. At this time, the censors had not yet joined the censors, and Du Yan was steady and would not directly interfere in the tide of overthrowing Lu. However, Du Yan has always been close to Wang Zeng and highly appreciated Fan Zhongyan. The Censors' Tai was a force that should not be underestimated. Although Gao Ruonai and Yao Zhongsun of the Censors charged in the incident of overthrowing Yan Wenying this time, it was due to their own responsibilities. The two did not have sharp conflicts with Lu Yijian.

The main force of Lu Yijian was still Fan Zhongyan. The Tianzhang Pavilion's status to be underestimated, and its energy is much greater than that of ordinary officials. Knowing that Kaifeng Prefecture has the right to recite the song alone, he was determined, and Lu Yijian would be very troublesome.

After comparing the current personnel and affairs principles with his limited historical knowledge in his previous life, Xu Ping finally shook his head helplessly. The final result should be Fan Zhongyan’s failure. The time span is here. Isn’t Ouyang Xiu’s “Theory of Fellowship” come out at this time? It’s time for the court to set off a big storm.

It is not surprising that Fan Zhongyan will be the one who wants to defeat the prime minister. His weight is far from enough. But when I think about it, it seems that Lu Yijian can't feel at ease in the court. Xu Ping can't remember why, so he can only wait with peace of mind.

Yang Gao came in from outside and said to Xu Ping: "Ducao, the King of Henan Prefecture held a banquet today and invited his colleagues in Xijing to enjoy the winter plum blossoms. It's getting late now, should we set off?"

Xu Ping thought about it from the thoughts and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's leave now. It's rare for Boyong to treat him, how could he not arrive early!"

While talking, he picked up the duck's head and put it on his head and walked out the door.

Luoyang people love flowers and like to appreciate them. As long as the flowers bloom all year round, there will be constant gatherings between friends. At this time, there are many varieties of plum blossoms planted in Luoyang, such as yellow plum, red plum, purple plum, etc. However, the plum blossoms will bloom in Luoyang early spring. Although the solar term this year is early, only wintersweets bloom at this time. The land atmosphere of Henan Prefecture is relatively warm, and there are also old plums passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Although the Chinese New Year has not yet been celebrated, buds have begun to appear, so Wang Yaochen invites everyone to see it.

The Transport Department Office was not far from the Henan Prefecture Office. Xu Ping took a few people and arrived at the place shortly after walking distance.

Li Ruogu still felt unwell and did not show up, and everyone didn't care. He was in a state of divine in Henan Prefecture, and he handed over all political affairs to Wang Yaochen. When he showed up, it was unexpected, just like the last time he recruited branch officials to cause trouble.

When Xu Ping arrived, many people had gathered in the yamen. In addition to a few yamen in Luoyang, some unemployed or branch officials also arrived.

After talking to everyone, Xu Ping was invited to the Youting Pavilion and sat with Yan Shu and others.

As soon as he sat down, a young man walked up to Xu Ping and bowed deeply and said, "I have been born in Qian Mingyi late, and I have seen Ducao."

Xu Ping looked at the man up and down, wearing casual clothes, and looked very energetic and well-behaved. He said lightly: "You are in the Qian Palace, and you have heard of his name for a long time. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, so there is no need to claim to be a late birth."

Qian Mingyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Du Cao is the dragon map."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shu said, "Xu Longtu, I haven't seen you for many days, come and talk!"

Xu Ping stood up, looked at Qian Mingyi, walked to Yan Shu and sat down, leaving Qian Mingyi standing there awkwardly.

The reason why Yan Shu was sent was because Qian Mingyi caused trouble, so not only Xu Ping disliked him, but Yan Shu also disliked him. The Qian family's identity was enough to have food and clothing, but it was of no use in the officialdom. It would be good if a descendant who surrendered to the king was not deliberately excluded politically. As for the iron coupons of the alchemy book issued by Taizu, that thing was useless to people with the identity of Xu Ping, let alone Qian Mingyi's turn to take charge of the lifeblood of the Qian family.

Seeing Xu Ping and Yan Shu and others laughing, Qian Mingyi couldn't help feeling lost. The descendants of the Qian family of Wu Yue are all very talented and have many Jinshis in their family, but Qian Mingyi has repeatedly failed. Without a Jinshi, there are no hopes for the career of the officialdom. Qian Wei plays a generation of literary leaders, and has a wide range of friendships and is good at ease. He is Qian Mingyi, so what is Qian Mingyi? So in recent years, Qian Mingyi has been engaged in everything, and the ministers spared no effort to make connections with him, just to take a shortcut to not go through the normal imperial examination. He originally wanted to take Lu Yijian's path, but he didn't expect that the wind direction was wrong recently, so he had to find another way. However, Xu Ping didn't give face at all, and didn't even want to say a word, and left himself here directly.

(Note: In history, Qian Mingyi clinged to Lu Yijian. The failure of the Qingli New Deal was that he reported to dismiss Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and Du Yan within one day, and thus was appreciated by Lu Yijian. He became a Hanlin bachelor in five years after the General Administration and was one of the fastest promoted people in the Song Dynasty.

By the way, I haven't felt very comfortable these days, and today I have only updated for the first time, so I'll forgive you.)8
