The carriage continued to walk forward on the spacious imperial street, but the two inside the carriage were silent.

Although more or less out of personal emotions, Bao Zheng ruthlessly criticized Zhang Sheng and portrayed him as a despicable villain, Fan Ning discovered Zhang Sheng's extraordinary means from Bao Zheng's depiction.

For example, if he came to smash the situation when Bao Zheng took office, but remained silent about himself, this means that this person is not stupid. Bao Zheng has a veteran experience and has enough self-control. The emperor will not get angry when he came to smash the situation, but he is different. If he came to smash the situation, the emperor will not forgive him.

He took cold measures against himself, which shows that he knew very well what to do and what not to do?

The second thing is that he seemed bold and arrogant to deal with Zhao Zongshi, and he sued him without re-examination. This is exactly what Zhang Sheng is so smart about, because the royal family he sued for was not ministers, and this matter would become a private matter rather than a public matter.

In addition, what Fan Ning is concerned about is that Zhang Sheng chose the time very well, and he happened to complain when the emperor was in a bad mood. Is this a coincidence?

Absolutely not, this is the information provided to them by Zhang Yaozuo's relationship in the palace.

All signs show that Zhang Sheng is definitely not a good-looking man. He is definitely not as simple as being a relative of Zhang Yaozuo.

But I will not have any interaction with him for the time being.

Just as he was thinking, the carriage stopped and Xuande Gate arrived.

Today is a medium-sized court meeting, which is held in Ziwei Hall. At this time, the sky is already bright and the twilight begins to become thinner. The morning light squeezes in from the twilight bit by bit, and the outlines of the square and palace have become clearer.

The meeting time is at one hour of Mao, which is 6:30 in the morning. It has just arrived at Mao, and it is still nearly half an hour.

Officials gathered together in groups of three or three to chat in the square. Just now, Bao Zheng was stopped by an official, and Fan Ning came to the square alone.

He also knew many officials, but now he has not seen a familiar face.

Every official was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, but no one invited him into the small group they were talking to.

Soon, Fanning became sensitively aware of this problem. He was like a thorny rose, the dazzling operation of Kunzhou and the power of the Censorate, which made him dare not underestimate him.

But the thorn on his body made people reluctant to approach him. This thorn was that he broke the rules for civil servant promotion. He was too young and had too shallow qualifications, and not many people were willing to have close friends with those who broke the rules.

When Fan Ning was not sure which direction to go, someone suddenly called him behind him, "Brother Fan!"

The voice was very familiar. Fanning turned around and saw a sturdy official with a simple face walking towards him.

"Brother Wang!"

Fanning immediately recognized the person, Wang Anshi, whom he had not seen for many years.

Fan Ning quickly came forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, I don't know when you will be transferred back to the court!"

"A few days earlier than you, my brother will take office today!

"I took office yesterday, by the way, I don't know my brother's new position."

"I am in the Sansi and serve as the judge of the Du Branch. My official position is still in the Ministry of Revenue and serve as a doctor."

Fan Ning suddenly remembered that Wang Anshi had to submit the "Ten Thousand Words" to work in Beijing. That was the first step to fully explain his reform ideas. It should be this year!

"Have the official summoned my brother?" Fan Ning tentatively tentatively.

Wang Anshi's eyes dimmed and he shook his head, "I gave the official ten days ago a letter of ten words to the official family, hoping to explain my new policy ideas in person, but there is no news yet. To be honest, I feel very depressed!"

Fanning didn't know how to persuade him, so he smiled silently and said, "It's better to have dinner together at noon!"

"Okay! At noon, I usually go to Qingfeng Restaurant diagonally outside the Shangdong Gate. Just come and find me."

At this time, the bell in the hall rang, and at the moment of Mao, the hall door opened, and the officials began to walk into the hall in groups of three or three.

…………

The dynasty is even more boring than imagined. The key is that the several issues discussed have nothing to do with him. One of them is related to Kunzhou, which is the resettlement of refugees. However, there are already 5,000 households in Kunzhou and will not enter again. It is okay to go to Ryukyu Mansion.

However, going to the Ryukyu Mansion is to increase the burden rather than reduce the burden for the court, so when it is related to interests, the plan to go to the Ryukyu Mansion was rejected.

This made Fan Ning sigh in his heart. He had been operating like a rich place like Ryukyu Mansion for six or seven years, but he still could not be self-sufficiency in food. It can be seen that the court did not choose the right person, and I don’t know if Di Qing would change after he went there.

Thinking of Di Qing, Fan Ning thought of another thing. It seems that the fate of many people is different from that in history. For example, Fan Zhongyan lived for five more years, and Di Qing should have passed away last year and is still fine now.

If these two people were influenced by themselves, then there was another person that Fan Ning couldn't understand, that was Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang should have passed away a few years ago and was posthumously named Empress Wencheng. But now she is still living in the palace and is still favored by Emperor Zhao Zhen.

Could it be that she was also influenced by herself?

Fan Ning didn't know about some things. Although Concubine Zhang was not directly affected by him, she indirectly affected her.

In order to promote Zhao Zongshi, he used the power of the Zhu family and the Cao family, but this stimulated Zhang Yaozuo. The Zhang family also decided to intervene in the battle for the throne, which gave Concubine Zhang an adopted son, and her fate changed.

In fact, not only Concubine Zhang, but also Fan Ning's appearance has caused more or less influence to everyone in the Song Dynasty. If you don't admit it, you have always used silver slots!

Fan Ning stood quietly in the court thinking about his affairs. At least he woke up when the court was dispersed, and the morning court was over.

After the court dispersed, the officials went to their own official rooms. Several prime ministers had to gather together for a small meeting, while Fan Ning hurried to his own official rooms.

He had a cup of hot tea on the table. Frankly speaking, the tea fried by the little tea boy was very average, and the taste and heat were not well understood. It was just barely able to drink it, which was no different from the tea in a mid-range teahouse on the street.

However, Fan Ning could understand that this is the same as the dishes made in the canteen pot, which is not as good as the small stove. The tea boy had to give tea to more than 20 officials. After the amount was increased, the quality would of course be reduced. If there was no sufficient cost support, there would be no good thing in this world with high quality.

On the one hand, Fan Ning thought the tea was not good and wanted to find a special tea boy. On the other hand, he didn't want the tea boy to enter his official room in a dignified manner. If the Zhang Zhiyuan opposite gave him 100 taels of silver, he still didn't know what the tea boy would do.

Fanning looked at his Ru porcelain teacup. Fortunately, this tea boy is pretty good in nature and may not be bribed, but he made the tea so hard that it was really unpalatable.

Fan Ning forgot one thing: not everyone has seen the official kiln. Sometimes things are not thrown away because there are no thieves, but because the thieves don’t know the goods.

He sat down and took a sip of tea. His deputy Li Weizhen walked in with several bags of thick files. Yesterday Fanning was just familiar with the situation, but from today onwards, he was about to start court work.

Li Weizhen put several bags of files on the table, "These are five cases that have been filed. They have been delayed for a long time and all the situations have been investigated clearly. Once the Zhiyuan confirms the addition of seals, the Censorate will exercise the right of impeachment."

Fanning looked at the five bags and asked again: "Has the case for Ouyang Xiu been filed?"

Li Weizhen was stunned and asked, "Did the Zhiyuan impeach Ouyang Xiu?"

"It should be investigated first and then impeachment!"

Li Weizhen shook his head and said, "This kind of thing only involves morality. Ouyang Xiu did not violate the law and could not investigate it. Even if he was impeached, he could only impeach him from a moral perspective."

“Is adultery not a violation of the law?”

"I just said that there is no evidence for such a thing and there is no way to investigate."

Only then did Fan Ning realize that Jia Changchao's methods were sophisticated that he used moral corruption to deal with Ouyang Xiu. In the end, he only had moral impeachment but no moral investigation.

Just like later generations used prostitution to make people, things were not big, but people were stink.

Fan Ning pondered for a while and said, "Then let's turn around and investigate whether Xue Zongru was framed!"

Li Weizhen thought for a while and said, "There is really a letter that accused Xue Zongru of framed and framed Ouyang Xiu and asked the Censorate to investigate the matter."

"Then what?"

"Then the Drum Institute ignored it, and later the applicant wrote a letter again and submitted it to the procuratorate. I saw this complaint about what happened the day before yesterday."

"Who submitted the book?" Fan Ning asked.
