In the Song Dynasty, the administration was divided into various roads, and the highest official of the road was the transfer envoy. The transfer envoy had a very high status and great power, enough to supervise the officials along the way. He controlled the military strength and even the financial power with one hand, which was comparable to that of a feudal official.

Such high-ranking officials are all held by highly respected people, and since he is young, serving as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang will definitely arouse criticism in the court. Fan Zheng naturally feels a little unsure.

Zhao Xu said disapprovingly: "In my Song Dynasty, official positions have nothing to do with rank. Many prime ministers stepped down as magistrates, and even their official positions were demoted again and again. Zhang Xianggong was originally a small official in Lingnan. I am in charge and I am not immediately appointed as the magistrate." Prime Minister of the DPRK, although you are appointed as the fourth rank, it has nothing to do with serving as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang."

"Uh!" Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, because what Zhao Xu said was true. The official position in the Song Dynasty was so unique. Theoretically speaking, although he was fourth grade, it did not prevent him from becoming a feudal official.

"Furthermore, my appointment as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang is not because I have too much faith in you, but because I have entrusted you with important responsibilities, whether it is to build Songjiang Prefecture that will be comparable to Bianjing in the future, to increase rice production by 50%, or to eliminate Manichaeism. Threats, I want them all."

Zhao Xu said passionately.

He is a heroic leader of the generation who is determined to complete a super unification. If Fan Zheng completes his plan as soon as possible, he will be able to increase a large amount of taxes and food for the Song Dynasty, and can also eliminate internal troubles for the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention that he is well aware of Fan Zheng's talent and naturally knows that Fan Zheng's trip will be a success. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty will have another layer of security in the future.

Of course, there is a more hidden reason that he did not mention. He has always regarded Fan Zheng as his confidant, and the two have supported each other until today. If it were not for Fan Zheng's future and the current stable situation, he would definitely not let him Fan Zheng left Beijing,

In this case, why not let Fan Zhengyi make contributions to the local area, which can not only transform Songjiang Prefecture from an unknown lower-class prefecture into the world's shipping center, but also eliminate Manichaeism and eliminate the threat of the Song Dynasty. Such achievements will be enough for the future. Fan Zheng's visit to the prime minister will remove any obstacles and allow Fan Zheng to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

After all, without Fan Zai by his side, he had no idea about completing the super unification.

Great meeting!
"I would like to report to the officials. Now the law on passing the examination has been issued to all states and governments. I believe that once this law comes out, the administrative efficiency of all officials will be greatly increased. Our Song Dynasty will surely achieve political integration and people-friendly people, and all industries will prosper." Fan Chunli was satisfied with his ambition in the Chui Gong Hall. road.

"it is good!"

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Other officials also submitted memorials one after another. It can be said that the entire Song Dynasty has received good news one after another. In addition, the court now has sufficient tax revenue, and the handling of government affairs can be said to be extremely smooth.

After the government affairs were dealt with, the officials were about to leave. Zhao Xu said proudly at this moment: "My dear friends, wait a moment, I have one more thing to announce!"

"Please give me the official's orders!" The officials waited quietly.

Zhao Xu looked around and said: "The Song Dynasty can be what it is today. In addition to the great help of all the beloved officials, there is another person who has made great contributions but has not received a big reward."

"Is there anyone who didn't get a big reward?"

All the officials couldn't help but look at each other with doubts in their eyes.

"This is because I have neglected my duty. I wonder who the officials are talking about?" Fan Chunli asked.

Zhao Xu glanced at Fan Chunli meaningfully and said, "This person is very familiar to Fan Xianggong. That is your son Fan Zheng."

"Ah! Zheng'er!" Fan Chunli couldn't help being stunned, frowning and looking at Fan Zheng behind him.

"That's right! I don't need to repeat Fan Taicheng's merits. I believe you all know that with such a great talent, I naturally have to reuse him! I decided to let the people below him train for a while before entrusting him with important responsibilities in the future!" Zhao Xu said loudly.

"Fan Zheng's contribution!"

All the officials couldn't help but sigh. Although Fan Zheng was young, his contribution was probably greater than that of anyone in the Manchu Dynasty. From the contribution of the dragon to the contribution of finding out the cotton poison in the official's body, the contribution of offering gunpowder and the contribution of destroying the country, almost all these years All decisions of the Song Dynasty were influenced by Fan Zheng.

Even if he is an official who no longer deals with Fan Zheng, he can oppose Fan Zheng's evil methods, but he cannot deny Fan Zheng's contribution.

"Decentralized place?"

Cai Jing and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Fan Zheng had always served as the official's personal medical officer in Bianjing even though he was the imperial physician. Opportunity.

Fan Chunli also looked happy. He naturally knew that Nizi's ambitions were lofty and he would definitely become the prime minister in the future. However, if he wanted to become the prime minister, he had to decentralize his position as an official. With experience in governing the local area, he could become the prime minister in the future.

Every high-ranking official in the court came this way, and the officials said they wanted to decentralize Fan Zheng, obviously to reuse him.

Cai Jing's heart moved, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Fan Taicheng is still very young, and he will definitely be a pillar of the Song Dynasty in the future. Why don't you go to the county and serve as the county magistrate to train yourself."

Everyone in the New Party couldn't help but agree. They didn't mind giving Fan Zheng a place in the county, so that Fan Zheng could slowly accumulate political achievements. This way, Fan Zheng could slowly be promoted and stay away from the court in the future, which would naturally create a gap between him and the official family.

Yang Wei of the old party objected and said: "No, Fan Taicheng is a fourth-rank official, and the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official. With Fan Taicheng's talent, serving as a county magistrate would be overqualified. In my opinion, Fan Taicheng is enough to serve as a county magistrate." The position of prefect.”

Although Yang Wei had disliked Fan Zheng before, this time Fan Zheng took the initiative to help the old party and restarted the Qingli New Deal to restore the old party's decline. Naturally, the old party wanted to return the favor.

Besides, what Yang Wei said was true. Fan Zheng had made too many meritorious deeds before, and a small county magistrate position might not be enough to convince the public.

"I think the magistrate is the most suitable one!" Everyone in the old party nodded. After all, Fan Zheng was Fan Chunli's only son. They had to give Fan Zheng fair treatment regardless of whether he looked at the Buddha or the monk.

The medical party also agreed. After all, Fan Zheng is their next generation leader. The higher Fan Zheng's starting point is, the higher his position will be when he returns to the court in the future, and he will be able to lead the medical party to develop and grow.

"No! How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house? If you can't govern a county well, how can you govern the world in the future." Cai Jing objected.

The two old parties immediately argued over Fan Zheng's position and refused to give in.

Zhao Xu coughed dryly when he saw this, and Tong Guan screamed from the side: "Quiet!"

All the officials in the court immediately calmed down and said, "I'd like the officials to make a decision."

Zhao Xu looked around and said: "Fan Taicheng has made great contributions to the country, and I have to reward him. Fan Taicheng's talent is obvious to all, and I must use him seriously."

Seeing this, the old party couldn't help showing a hint of pride. According to the official tone, it was obvious that they were inclined to make Fan Zheng the prefect.

The New Party couldn't help but frown. A magistrate in his twenties was unprecedented in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Xu's next words left everyone stunned.

"I have decided to appoint Fan Zheng as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and at the same time appoint an imperial envoy to patrol the southeast for me." Zhao Xu's voice was like a thunder, shaking the entire Chui Gong Hall.

"Transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang!"

"Imperial envoy, patrol the southeast area!"

........................

All the officials in the court couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu in astonishment. A magistrate in his twenties was already unique, but a feudal official in his twenties was probably unheard of.

Although in ancient times Gan Luo was the prime minister at the age of twelve, and Huo Qubing was already a champion at the age of 10, but in the conservative Song Dynasty, a twenty-year-old feudal official was simply crazy.

They all knew that the officials respected Fan Zheng, but they did not expect that the officials believed in Fan Zheng so much that they actually let Fan Zheng be directly appointed as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and also held the position of imperial envoy. This was exactly the same as the ancient treacherous ministers who harmed the country. "Not for officials!"

The three prime ministers of the day all spoke out to dissuade him.

Fan Chunli turned around and scolded Fan Zheng angrily: "You traitor, you actually tempted the officials to do such a ridiculous thing, and you still haven't apologized to the officials."

Everyone knows that when Fan Zhengcai was in his weakest years, no matter how great his achievements were, the position of a prefect was already at its limit. However, the officials unexpectedly named Fan Zhengcai the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, which was unreasonable.

"Evil recipe!"

"Yes! This style is simply the style of Fan Zhengxie Fang!"

All the officials were in an uproar, staring at the evil doctor Fan Zheng with evil eyes.

It must be the evil doctor Fan Zheng who gave the officials another evil prescription, which made the wise and powerful officials commit such a foolish thing.

Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Father, don't blame the child. The child is going to Zhejiang Province this time because he has important things to do! We have to make an exception."

"It's important! No matter how important it is, it can't compare to the rules of the court!" Fan Chunli angrily yelled.

Su Song also shook his head firmly and said: "No, the Zhongshu Province will not approve Fan Taicheng's appointment."

Su Song naturally knew that Fan Zheng was the next generation leader of the Medical Party, but he was also well aware of the disadvantages of encouraging the seedlings. He directly asked Fan Zheng to be appointed as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. This was simply encouraging the seedlings. Su Song's opposition was also out of support for Fan Zheng. .

Seeing that Fan Chunli and Su Song firmly opposed Fan Zheng's appointment, Zhang Dun was slightly relieved. Although the three of them fought, they always abided by the rules of the court.

However, Zhao Xu did not flinch and said: "I have made up my mind on this matter. Please follow me, the three prime ministers, and I will explain it myself."

At that moment, Zhao Xu led the three prime ministers to the side hall, leaving Fan Zheng and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty looking at each other in the court hall.

"Treacherous minister! You evil doctor Fan Zheng actually relies on the official's trust and bewitches the official. Aren't you afraid that you will be infamy for thousands of years in the future?"

After Zhao Xu left with the three prime ministers, Cai Jing angrily scolded Fan Zhengyi.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face. No one would have thought that Cai Jing, the traitorous prime minister who would later be called the leader of the Six Thieves, would actually call him a traitor.

"Infamy for eternity?"

Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Fan has countless living people in his hands and has made great achievements many times. Who dares to say that Fan will be infamous for thousands of years? Besides, Fan has not yet taken up the post of transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. How can you conclude that Fan will harm the country and the people?" "

Cai Jing suddenly sighed.

Yang Wei frowned and said: "All officials are promoted step by step. This is the rule of the court. Fan Taicheng's move to undermine the court will definitely cause endless troubles in the future."

Yang Wei always thought that Fan Zheng's position as prefect was the limit, and it was also Fan Zheng's reward for helping the old party. However, he did not expect that Fan Zheng's appetite was so big that he directly wanted the position of transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang and became a feudal official. .

"Rules in the court! The Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty of the official family. The rules of the official family are the rules. If the officials trust Fan, Fan will definitely devote himself to death. Besides, Fan is a fourth-grade official, and he is among the transfer envoys from various places. "It's not like there are no transfer envoys of the fourth rank! Fan is not breaking the rules of the court," Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Yang Wei suddenly frowned. The Song Dynasty did have fourth-grade transfer envoys, but there were no fourth-grade transfer envoys who were only in their twenties. It was not completely impossible for Fan Zheng, the fourth-grade envoy, to serve as a transfer envoy.

Cai Jing sneered and said: "Fan Zheng, don't be complacent. Even if the officials are bewitched by you, the three prime ministers in the court will not agree to you serving as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang."

All the officials nodded in agreement.

Even though Fan Chunli is Fan Zheng's father, Fan Chunli should avoid suspicion even more. Although Su Song is the leader of the Medical Party and has a close relationship with Fan Zheng, Su Song is the most just person and there is no way he would agree to this matter.

In addition, Zhang Dun of the New Party has always been unwilling to deal with Fan Zheng, and it is even less possible for him to be accommodating to Fan Zheng.

Although Fan Zheng said that the Song Dynasty was the Song Dynasty of the official family, and the rules of the official family were the rules. However, the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, and the three prime ministers opposed it at the same time, and even the officials had to make concessions.

quickly!

The three prime ministers walked back solemnly from the side hall, and each of them looked at Fan Zheng with incomprehensible eyes.

Su Song solemnly came to Fan Zheng and said solemnly: "Today the Central Publishing House will approve your appointment. Within three days, you will leave Beijing to take up your post immediately!"

"what!"

All the officials in the court were in an uproar and couldn't help but look at Su Song in astonishment.

You must know that Su Song has always been known for his fairness, but now he ignored the court principles and agreed to Fan Zheng's appointment as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

Fan Chunli came to Fan Zheng and angrily shouted: "Treason, if you live up to the official's expectations, I will break your legs!"

Fan Zheng felt a chill in his heart. Fan Zheng had not taken it seriously before when Fan Chunli repeatedly claimed that he would break his legs, but this time, he understood that Fan Chunli would really do what he said.

"You are pretending to be prime minister, and you are violating the rules of the court and appointing people who are close to you!"

Everyone in the New Party immediately rebuked that in the New Party's view, Fan Zhengnai was Fan Chunli's son and the next generation leader of the Medical Party, so the two prime ministers would definitely favor him.

"Mr. Zhang!"

Cai Jing quickly looked at Zhang Dun. In his opinion, Zhang Dun would definitely not agree to Fan Zheng's appointment.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "This is a joint decision made by the officials and the three prime ministers of the dynasty. All you have to do is abide by it!"

"what?"

Cai Jing and others were shocked. He never expected that Zhang Dun would agree to such an outrageous resolution.

Zhang Dun sighed in his heart. When he learned the reason from the official, he could no longer object.

Whether compared with the threat of Manichaeism, which broke out in a cold sweat, or the creation of a world water transportation center with tax revenue comparable to Songjiang Prefecture in Bianjing, a small transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang is not worth mentioning at all.

With Zhang Dun's support, Fan Zheng's appointment as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang was no longer hindered.

Zhongshu Province.

Su Song solemnly stamped his seal on the appointment letter, and Fan Zheng, the youngest transfer envoy of the Song Dynasty, was announced. (End of chapter)
