Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 392 A son-in-law equals half a son
Jia Changchao's mansion is located near Taiping Xingguo Temple. As the elder of the two dynasties, he can be regarded as a dignitary in the Song Dynasty. His six sons are all officials in the court, and there are also his former students and old officials. The melons are spread widely. It can be said that his influence is all over the ruling and opposition parties.

Jia Changchao was prime minister during the Qingli period. When the right prime minister Lu Yijian tried his best to attack Fan Zhongyan, he also secretly assisted in defeating Fan Zhongyan's party.

However, out of balance, the emperor Zhao Zhen also removed his phase at the same time. The opportunity came again. Wang Yaochen was seriously ill and resigned from the position of deputy prime minister. The emperor Zhao Zhen intended to let him serve as a political adviser and return to the prime minister.

How could Jia Changchao let go of this opportunity? He also knew that the emperor had not made a final decision. In order to win this aspect, he began to use his methods again, instructing his disciple Xue Zongru to target Ouyang Xiu.

The reason why the conflict was aimed at Ouyang Xiu was because Ouyang Xiu had offended too many people, and the more people he offended, the greater his chance. If he killed Ouyang Xiu, he would not only get the support of the literati group, but also the Qian family. There is also Zhang Yaozuo's support, of course Zhang Yaozuo will support him, but not enough.

It's just that today he received a disappointing news. The appointment of Dr. Zuo Jianyi was not his favorite student Liu Qin, but Fan Ning who had just returned from Kunzhou and left his post. He really couldn't accept it. You must know his activities This position has been around for a long time, and having someone of his own in the supervisory position will undoubtedly give him a knife in his hand.

Jia Changchao paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, beside his youngest son Jia Yan and son-in-law Li Yun.

"Father, in fact, my child thinks that it is a good thing that brother Wen Sheng did not get this position. Brother Wen Sheng is one step away from advising the doctor, and father is one step away from participating in political affairs."

Not to mention, what my son said is really reasonable. Good things don’t come in pairs. After all, there are too few things that happen when double happiness comes. Lord of good.

It's not that Jia Changchao is not as good as his son, but that the authorities are obsessed and bystanders are clear. He has worked in the position of Zuo Jianyi doctor for a long time, and he has fallen deeper.

Once Jia Changchao's knot in his heart was untied, his thoughts suddenly became clear. He nodded to his son with satisfaction, and turned his eyes to his son-in-law Li Yun who had been silent all along.

Li Yun is the son-in-law he admires the most. He has a personality similar to his own, and his methods are ruthless enough. He is currently serving as the judge of the court and has great power.

"The son-in-law should be very familiar with this Fanning!"

Li Yun nodded, "My son-in-law had a very close relationship with this Fan Ning when he was the county magistrate in Wu County."

Li Yun smiled, "I ordered the first place in his child prodigy competition. It's a bit inconceivable that the little prodigy back then suddenly became a Zuo Jianyi doctor."

"Then you should be ashamed!"

Jia Changchao also criticized his son-in-law unceremoniously, "He is now at the fourth rank, but you are still at the fifth rank!"

"My son-in-law knows his mistake!"

Li Yun admits that he was wrong, but he is not necessarily ashamed. He has always cared about the kid in his hometown. Fan Ning's success is just a word, "in the eyes of the emperor". Isn't this the case from ancient times to the present?The prime minister hopes that he is favored by the emperor, the minister hopes that he is favored by the prime minister, and the scholars below hope that he is favored by the minister. If one day, the scholar is suddenly favored by the emperor, if he does not make a fortune, then it is really unreasonable up.

Fan Ning is such a lucky person in the legend. Apart from envy, Li Yun really has no jealousy. After all, he himself is only one level lower than Fan Ning. When he was a scholar, he was favored by the prime minister.

Jia Changchao glanced at him and asked again, "I want to know what kind of person this Fan Ning is?"

"Reporting to father-in-law, this Fanning is a ruthless person."

"Ruthless?" Jia Changchao was slightly taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

Li Yun was a little proud of himself. After all, only he knew some of Fan Ning's secrets. He didn't hide it from his father-in-law, so he told in detail how Fan Ning used an unfounded jade pei to trick the Xu family. Jia Changchao.

Jia Changchao's eyes narrowed slowly, this method is ruthless!No less than himself, but the other party was only an eight or nine-year-old child at the time, he could be so powerful, he couldn't believe it, he glanced at his son-in-law suspiciously.

Li Yun immediately understood what his father-in-law meant, and he quickly said: "My son-in-law is not exaggerating at all. This incident left a deep impression on my son-in-law, and my son-in-law still remembers it so vividly."

Jia Changchao nodded. He believed what his son-in-law said. Since Fan Ning is a powerful person, he had to put away his contempt. He walked in the study with his hands behind his back for a while, then turned to Li Yun and said, "Go and check it out for me. Check Fanning's background and find out what he has done."

Li Yun is one of the two heads of the trial court. Of course it is not difficult to find an official's handle, but Li Yun knows very well that any official has a handle. The key is whether the superior will take it to heart. If the superior will turn a blind eye , Even if the handles you find are piled up as high as a mountain, it's useless.

But he didn't dare to tell his father-in-law these words, would his father-in-law not understand these truths?Since he wanted to find out about Fan Ning, he had to do it honestly.

"My son-in-law, go check it out!"

"You go now!"

Li Yun understood what his father-in-law meant. He still had a conversation with his son. It wasn't that he wanted to distance himself as a son-in-law, but that what he was going to talk about next had nothing to do with him. Li Yun was very clear about his position in his father-in-law's heart. Time really is more important than his son.

Li Yun bid farewell knowingly.

Jia Changchao watched his son-in-law leave with a smile, and then he turned his head and asked Jia Yan calmly, "Where is the matter with Ouyang Xiu now?"

Fan Ning came to the Ministry of Officials early in the morning, where he resigned and took up his post. This is a necessary procedure for every official to be promoted or transferred.

Coincidentally, Fan Ning met an old acquaintance at the gate of the Ministry of Officials.

"County Li!"

Fan Ning couldn't help shouting, and the person in front of him turned his head, and it turned out to be Li Yun, the county magistrate back then.

"Ah! Fanning."

Li Yun also showed a hint of surprise, and walked forward quickly. Although he was investigating Fan Ning's plot yesterday, his surprise now comes from the heart. After all, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land is a beautiful thing for human beings.

Fan Ning smiled a little embarrassedly: "I've always been used to being called County Magistrate Li. It's so offensive. Now I should call you Langzhong Li."

Li Yun came from the fifth-rank official rank, but his official position is the sixth-rank official doctor. He sent the official to know the court affairs. It seems a bit wronged to be a sixth-rank official from the fifth-rank official rank, but the official department is an exception. The department itself is five and a half levels higher than the other departments.

Li Yun is only investigating Fan Ning now, not to the extent of becoming an enemy of Fan Ning, so his smile is very sincere at this moment, at least Fan Ning feels very sincere.

"What does it matter if you call me County Magistrate Li? Should I just call you Fan Zhiyuan?"

This is also true, the title represents a kind of friendship to a certain extent, and the friendship between him and Fan Ning started from the relationship between the county magistrate and the common people.

Of course, the friendship back then was just a starting point, and now they can’t go back to the original starting point, just like they didn’t go to kindergarten when they were young, and no matter how regretful they are after the age of 30, they can’t make up this lesson again. Fan Ning really couldn't call Li Yun the magistrate of Li County anymore, and Li Yun couldn't call him by his first name anymore, and the two quickly returned to their normal address.

"Fan Zhiyuan is officially taking office today!"

"You have to pass the hurdle of your official department before you can officially take office!"

Li Yun waved his hand, "It's true for officials above the fifth rank, but for high-ranking officials like Fan Zhiyuan, the Ministry of Officials is just a formality."

The two walked into the gate of the Ministry of Officials. There was a central axis in the middle, which divided the Ministry of Officials into two parts. People should break up.

"It's the first time to be an official in the court, and I will ask Li Langzhong to take care of me in the future."

"Fan Zhiyuan is too polite, come and sit at my house when you have time, let's have a good chat."

"sure!"

The two cupped their hands and bid farewell very politely. I don't know if Fan Ning was really polite, but Li Yun's politeness must have been mixed with hypocrisy.

There's no way, I only investigated people's handles last night, and the next day I have to hold hands with people teary-eyed, and gods can't do it, of course, except for the great immortal Zhenyuan, who had to put the monkey head in the frying pan the day before, One day, I will burn yellow paper and worship my brothers with others.

When Fan Ning walked into the Ministry of Officials, he was still received by Zeng Gongliang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, it is not important for Zeng Gongliang to help him go through the entry procedures. The important thing is that Zeng Gongliang will accompany him to the Jianyuan to officially take office.
