Except for Fan Ning, all other officials involved in the reform were rewarded, such as Lu Chunqiu who was promoted to Jingdong Road Transportation Envoy, Wang Jian, the former Jingdong Road Transportation Envoy, was promoted to the pacification envoy, and Wang Anshi was promoted to Yingtianfushi, and accepted Fan Ning's position. Novels.

Hou Wen, the former magistrate of Songcheng, was promoted to the magistrate of Tongzong, and the officers of the military officer, Lu Huiqing was promoted to the seventh rank Xuandelang, and was promoted to the magistrate of Songcheng County. Liu Chu was promoted to the fifth rank Chaosan Doctor, and was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

In terms of military positions, Li Han was promoted to General Dingyuan in the fifth rank and was appointed as the left general of the Shenwu Army.

Since the Xiang army was reorganized into an imperial guard, all generals were upgraded to one level, and the soldiers' monthly salary was increased by one to two jin of money. With the reward for martial arts, the military camp was filled with joy for a while, and the entire military camp was full of joy.

In the Zhizheng Hall, Han Qi smiled at Fan Ning and said, "Although you are not old, you have a good qualification. You have been in the official position for more than ten years. Feng Jing, who was only one year older than you, has also been promoted to the fourth-grade Longtu Pavilion Assistant. This time, the two levels have actually meant to be promoted. If I remember correctly, you were from the fourth-grade rank five years ago!"

Fan Ning nodded, "Bizhi came back from Kunzhou and was from the fourth rank. Later, his father Ding You stayed at home for several years."

Han Qi said again: "Being an official requires political achievements. The better the political achievements, the faster the official will be promoted. The reason why you can be promoted to the fourth rank at a young age is because you created the Overseas Administration and established Kunzhou, making Kunzhou the largest horse farm and gold and silver production area in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the contribution is in the country. This time you have been promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank because of the successful reform of the army. This is an extremely shining political achievement. No one will say anything about you!"

Fan Ning nodded silently, "Thank you for your public guidance!"

Han Qi waved his hand again, "Even if the past political achievements have passed, you are now the prince Zhan and the chief minister of the East Palace, where do you plan to start?"

Fanning thought for a while and said, "I plan to start with improving rules and regulations."

"This idea is good. The Eastern Palace has been abandoned for decades and its official position is useless. As far as I know, the officials in the Eastern Palace are very lazy and even have the time to open a shop when they go to court. What you have to do is to rectify the discipline and not let people say behind your back that you are not strict in control."

"I remember the humble job."

"There is also an army. Although you have served as a military post, you do not have an army official rank. This is a typical civil servant who commands the army. Most civil servants command the army are named. Regardless of the specific military affairs, I still ask you to arrest military affairs, such as you try the reform of separation of people's salary, reform of training and assessment, etc., and you must continue to persist. You must pay attention and ask yourself. You must never let the army degenerate in a few years. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fan Ning knew Han Qi's meaning very well. He actually wanted to hold this army firmly in his hands, so that this army would become the first Eastern Palace army in the Song Dynasty and the army that Zhao Zhongzhen could command.

"What else do you want to say?"

Fan Ning sighed and said, "What I am most worried about now is the reform experiment of Yingtianfu. Wang Anshi has many practices I do not agree with, such as Qingmiao Law, which I resisted before. I was afraid that after he took office, he would start to vigorously promote Qingmiao Law, which would harm the interests of the rich peasants."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. No matter how it changes, it will be Yingtian Mansion. It is impossible to promote it to the world. If it is found that it seriously infringes on the interests of the people, the court will definitely interfere and order him to change it."

"Then please pay more attention to Yingtian Mansion!"

"I can do it. In addition, if you have time, you should pay attention to the Prince of Julu."

Fanning heard something in Han Qi's words. He didn't say he was going to visit, but said he was paying attention, which made Fanning realize immediately?

"What happened to Prince Julu?"

Han Qi pondered for a moment and said, "He was in a very abnormal mood recently. He was sent by the emperor to seriously warn him the day before yesterday, and he might be deprived of his throne."

Fanning frowned, "How could such a thing happen?"

"I got some news, it seemed that His Highness of the Prince asked the Imperial Doctor Zhang Hongji some things he shouldn't have asked."

Fanning immediately reacted, "Did he ask the emperor about his physical condition?"

"It seems to be."

"But he is the adopted son of the official family. As an adopted son, it is not normal for him to care about his father's physical condition?"

Han Qi smiled bitterly, "Many things have a degree, and you can care about them, but if they exceed that degree, it will be troublesome, and people have to suspect that Zhao Zongshi has selfish intentions."

Fanning was silent for a moment and said, "He still doesn't give up?"

"How could he give up? This kind of thing is a taboo, and everyone's hearts are like a mirror. If you don't touch it, everyone can be at peace, but Zhao Zongshi broke this balance. Can you imagine the emperor's anger?"

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, the imperial physician will not easily stand in the team and express his opinion. The normal practice is that Zhang Hongji should not tell Zhao Zongshi, or he did not know, but he told Zhao Zongshi and complained to the emperor. Could this be a trap?"

"You make sense. Zhang Hongji did say what he shouldn't say, and did what he shouldn't do. It was a bit abnormal. It was really like a trap."

Han Qi sighed, "It seems that Zhao Zong has done something stupid."

"Then how much impact does this incident have on Zhao Zhongzhen?"

"The impact is quite big. I should have announced the matter of the Crown Prince during the martial arts performance, but in the end, it was only announced that the title of King Liang must be affected by this incident. It is obvious that the official also had concerns. I am sure that the Crown Prince will not announce it easily."

Fan Ning suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. If Zhao Zhongzhen did not enter the Eastern Palace, what is the point of his own prince, Secretary Zhan?

Han Qi understood his concern and said with a smile: "It's just that there is no title of the crown prince, but the emperor also needs to start cultivating him, and this will not be vague."

In the afternoon, Fan Ning returned to Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion. Zhu Yuanfeng, who received the news, went out to welcome Fan Ning's return. His grandson-in-law was so evil. He was only twenty-five years old and was promoted to the third-rank official.

Although Zhu Yuanfeng is not in the officialdom, he knows the officialdom very well.

There are three major obstacles for officials to be promoted. The first obstacle is to be promoted from an alternate official to a Beijing official, that is, an official will be promoted. Even if he is a Jinshi, he will be faster if he has a backstage, and if he has no backstage, he will have to wait. It is normal to wait for ten or eight years.

The second hurdle is to go from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, which is to go from the Langguan to the doctor, from the intermediate rank to the senior rank, without fame, and not a special class such as a family of relatives and meritorious families, so the sixth rank is basically at its peak.

But even if you have a Jinshi fame, but without political achievements, fame or strong backstage, it is difficult to get promoted.

The third hurdle is to go from the fourth grade to the third grade, which is a bit like the later department level to the provincial level.

The third-rank official was promoted by the emperor himself. At this time, the background background was useless and the general political achievements were not proved. There must be something that the emperor could admire.

Even Fan Ning himself wasted many years from the fourth rank. His political achievements in Kunzhou helped him to enter the fifth rank, but he did not have enough political achievements in Kunzhou. It was Yingtianfu army reforms and his investment in Zhao Zhongzhen that finally made him break through to the fourth rank and upgraded to the third rank.

This is not an extraordinary promotion. Qualifications and connections are no longer important at this time. The important thing is that the emperor can take a fancy to you. You must know that if you enter the third rank, you will have the opportunity to become a minister in the future. This step is more difficult than the previous two hurdles.

For example, Fan Ning's father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun is only in the fourth grade. It has been so many years since he has been away from the fourth grade to the third grade.

"Here is here! Here!"

The housekeeper shouted, "Son-in-law is here!"

"Start the cannon!"

Several servants set off firecrackers, and the gate made a "bang!" and surrounded a large group of children, jumping and jumping, which was extremely lively.

Fan Ning was surprised, what was going on? How did the Zhu family do like a wedding?

When he saw the banner at the door clearly and 'Congratulations to the third-rank high-ranking official', he was a little amused and laughed a little, so he had to turn over and get off the horse, throw the reins to Zhu Long, and step forward with his teeth.

"Aning, congratulations!"

Zhu Yuanfeng came forward, smiling so hard that his face was blooming. Seeing that there were a large group of neighbors standing around, everyone was envious in their eyes. He was really embarrassed and whispered: "Three Grandfather, this is too exaggerated!"

"It's no exaggeration. I've been promoted to the third rank. I need to celebrate well. Ape didn't come!"

"They are still in Yingtian Mansion, so I have to ask my third grandfather to help move."

"This is a small problem. I arranged more than a dozen ships to pick up people and let the third brother go to the aftermath. You don't have to worry about it at all."

Although Zhu Yuanfeng lacked power in officialdom, he was very energetic in social life. Small things like moving and transportation were indeed a slaughter for him.
