Chapter 7 First Minister of Power

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone in from the window. Xu Ping opened his eyes, got up and stretched in front of the window to face the sunshine.√∟I didn’t eat dinner, and I felt so hungry, but I was unexpectedly energetic.

After leaving the room, the little yellow door standing outside saw Xu Ping's expression cringing and whispered: "Don't blame me, Shangguan ordered it-"

Xu Ping shook his head and walked out of the door to the yard.

The air in the morning was particularly fresh. Xu Ping took a few deep breaths and felt refreshing until his heart was in his bones.

Although it was only separated by a Wuling, Xu Ping felt that the sky in Daozhou was different from that in Yongzhou. Perhaps it was the unique taste of Lingnan.

He walked to the gate of the courtyard, and the soldiers guarding the gate stopped him and asked, "Where is the official?"

Xu Ping looked at the soldiers up and down and said, "Why, you still have to imprison me?"

"I don't dare!"

The soldier hurriedly bowed and bowed, but his body refused to let go. Xu Ping was just waiting for the order in Daozhou, and he was still carrying the official with him. He was not a criminal, so he would not dare to surrender the enemy. But he borrowed it from the Imperial City Office and did not dare to ignore Ren Shouzhong's words. He was frozen here for a while.

Ren Shouzhong was the one who served the Empress Dowager. He always got up early in the morning. When he heard the movement outside, he turned here and saw Xu Ping confronting the gate guards. He hurriedly came forward: "Xu Ping, look at the filth on your face last night and your hair was messy. Did you just get up?"

"You are so worried about it! You arranged soldiers to guard the gate, is it because you want to imprison me?"

Ren Shouzhong said: "Where do you want to go? I will be ordered to take care of you. You are not familiar with Daozhou. If you want to go out, you must be followed. Otherwise, what if something happens?"

Speaking of this, he turned to the gatekeeper and said, "In the future, Xu Guanren will go out. You must inform me immediately, so that I can arrange for someone to protect Xu Guanren."

Xu Ping was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked out of the yard.

Ren Shouzhong followed closely behind, and saw Xu Ping walking out of the gate of the inn, chasing him to the front and said, "Xu Ping, you and I are waiting for the two officials in the state here, and you will never dare to slackew for a moment. Don't go out and walk around!"

Xu Ping sneered: "If you are brave enough, just tie me up!"

After saying that, he strides out of the inn.

"Official, you came out? Didn't you do anything last night?"

Outside the inn, Gao Daquan and the other two were waiting there early. When they saw Xu Ping, they hurried to greet him. They were going to go to the inn to greet Xu Ping, but were stopped outside by soldiers.

Xu Ping said to the three people: "I slept well, but I was a little hungry. I'll find something to eat."

"No! What should I do if my stomach is damaged when I eat something outside? How can I explain it?"

Xu Ping looked at Ren Shouzhong who was pretending to behave and sneered, "How many times have you been pretending to behave with the Queen Mother's order? Are you going to die with me?"

"You are worthy of it? I am doing my own thing and I have to be careful! You cannot buy your food from outside, and I need to be relieved if I have seen it!"

Sun Qilang said on the side: "Just have you seen it?"

"Of course I have to see it!"

Sun Qilang looked at Ren Shouzhong without saying a word, and said to Xu Ping: "Official, when we came here in the morning, I saw a rabbit by the river. I went to catch it and let the chief of the Pavilion to see what he had to say!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the river.

Sun Qilang has no other ability. No one can compare to this kind of method of climbing trees and catching rabbits. Xu Ping looked at Ren Shouzhong, stood under the tree in front of the door, and watched Sun Qilang use his methods.

While there was a chaotic situation, a man came from the direction of the city. The servant dressed in an outfit and arrived at the gate of the inn, panting and said, "I wonder if the official Xu from Yongzhou is here?"

Xu Ping was confused. He had no acquaintances here. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. He walked up to the man and said, "I'm here Xu Ping, come from Yongzhou, are you looking for me?"

"That's right!" The man felt sweaty and handed over a name-name thorn. "My husband was very happy to hear that Xu Guanren arrived in Daozhou and was about to come to visit!"

When Xu Ping heard that the person called his master and husband, he had guessed something. He took the name and opened it. Except for some routine formats, he only filled in three simple words for the official position: "Secretary Supervisor", followed by two words: "Ding Wei".

Sure enough, that's it.

Ding Wei was first demoted to Yazhou, but later he was changed to Daozhou. He was amnesty some time ago and was able to retire as a secretary. He was already a free man at this time. However, his identity was really sensitive, and he offended all over the world. He was still ordered to live in Daozhou and not be allowed to move around.

This is the most powerful minister since the founding of the Song Dynasty. His methods have made many officials frightened. Even the empress dowager dared not let him go to the Central Plains if he has the power of the government.

As soon as Ding Wei came out, the world was in chaos. Now all the people in charge of the government hoped that he would be honest and would be better to die in the remote Xiaozhou here as soon as possible, and never get close to the center of the government for the rest of his life.

When Xu Ping came to this world, the two first celebrities he heard were Kou Zhun, and the other was Ding Wei Ding Zhi Gong.

After closing the famous sect, Xu Ping returned it to the servant and said in a deep voice: "I am a small frontier official, and later graduates are promoted. How can I afford it?"

The man put away his name and said loudly: "The official is an official in Yongzhou and governs financial resources, including hundreds of thousands of barbarians as Dings, and is praised by all the people. The official reputation is everywhere. My husband admires him so much that he naturally deserves it!"

Ding Wei was in power, not only was the ministers of the foreign court suppressed him, but even the eunuchs in the palace were obedient. Ren Shouzhong was still scared. Hearing the disaster came to visit Xu Ping, his heart suddenly raised up and said, "Ding Wei was a criminal invader, and he was not allowed to make friends with ministers! He was so arrogant that he dared to ignore the ban and openly made friends with the frontier ministers!"

The servant didn't look at Ren Shouzhong in front of his eyes, so he took the famous sect and put it away, and said to Xu Ping: "The master will arrive soon. Should the official take a shower?"

Xu Ping pointed at Ren Shouzhong: "This cabinet chief was the Empress Dowager in charge of me, but now he can't make the decision by himself, so he has to offend Mr. Ding."

While speaking, two more people came to the direction of Zhoucheng. One rode on a green donkey, and the other led the donkey. He kept walking towards the inn.

The servant looked at it and hurriedly went forward. He whispered to Xu Ping, "My husband is here."

Xu Ping thought about it and walked up to meet him.

Although Ding Wei was hated by thousands of people, he had already escaped his guilt and retired as secretary. Even this position of demoted and demoted was much higher than Xu Ping now, let alone that he was a person who had been the prime minister and held the power of the world, and deserved the respect he deserved.

When Ren Shouzhong heard the name Ding Wei, he was a little confused. Seeing Xu Ping approaching him, he hurriedly followed.

When he arrived, the servant called the donkey and Xu Ping bowed: "The backwards Xu Ping, I have met my husband."

Ding Wei came down from the donkey, supported Xu Ping, and said with a smile: "Yunxing's young man in high school, his achievements are famous all over the world. He is the pillar of the country. How can I afford it?"

Xu Ping stood up straight and looked at the world's most treacherous minister who was hated by countless people.

Ding Wei was not very good at looking, and in mean words, he was monkey-shaped, with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, which was very eye-catching. Later, Sima Guang said it more vividly in his notes, if he was always hungry, he would look like a starving ghost who was raised.

However, for Ding Wei today, the noble ministers have long become the past, and his greatest wish now is to be able to return to the Central Plains alive. Of course, if he still has the strength to return to the Central Plains, he doesn't mind stirring up the world and reaching the top of the ministers again.

Ren Shouzhong saw that no one was paying attention to him any more suddenly, especially Ding Wei, the dead mouse who had been knocked to the ground, was still pretending to behave, and he was furious and said loudly: "Xu Ping, you come to Daozhou to wait for the order according to your will, stay honestly, and dare to make a deposed minister. Is it a ill-intentioned plan?"

Ding Wei seemed to have just seen Ren Shouzhong, turned his head and smiled and said to him, "What is the name of this cabinet chief? What is the duty to go to this far place?"

Ren Shouzhong said with a stern face: "Please the imperial medicine to worship, Ren Shouzhong! The Queen Mother's decree, Xu Ping is domineering and illegal in Yongzhou, so I look at him and come to Daozhou to wait for the decree!"

Ding Wei looked shocked, shrank his body and said strangely: "The Queen Mother's will? The Queen Mother of Daxing has been in her life for nearly two months. Why haven't you ever received any more orders? The Emperor is in charge of the rule, and it may be possible that there is no other order."

"What! The Queen Mother died?"

Ren Shouzhong opened his eyes wide and looked at Ding Wei, almost slumped to the ground.

Ding Wei shook his head and sighed, "Oh, the Empress Dowager has been in power for more than ten years, working day and night, and the New Year is fine! We will raise our children until our prime, and we will achieve success in the future!"

Ren Shouzhong felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole soul was gone. He murmured: "The Queen Mother died? He really died? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Ding Wei said slowly: "Now most of the transport envoys are inspecting outside, and it is possible that the official documents will be delayed. However, the latest residence newspaper in Daozhou has been released. Have you not read it in the inn?"

Xu Ping felt a sigh of relief when he saw Ren Shouzhong's dismay. He remembered the blessing of Empress Dowager Liu, who had been in Lingnan for so many years, and felt even more comfortable. He said to Ding Wei: "This Minister Ren looked at me tightly, and he didn't even let the newspaper read it, but he didn't know that such a big thing happened in the morning."

“There are so many big things recently—”

Ding Wei said, stepped forward and said to Xu Ping: "Yunxing, we are talking in the inn."

Xu Ping agreed and left half of his body behind Ding Wei and walked towards the inn together.

Ren Shouzhong followed behind foolishly, and when he arrived at the door, he finally woke up a little and said with a sharp voice: "Although the Queen Mother is in the funeral, the will is still there. Xu Ping, you dare to treat me as nothing!"

Ding Wei turned around, looked at Ren Shouzhong like a dead pig, and shook his head: "Court officials, if you don't read the newspaper when you arrive at the post station, you are hopeless! Apart from the death of the empress dowager, do you know what the most important thing is recently?"

Ren Shouzhong stubbornly said, "What is it? I don't believe it can still be related to this little official!"

Ding Wei said slowly: "The concubine of the old princess was born and was unknown for decades. The emperor has recognized his mother and pursued the concubine of the old princess as the empress dowager. The queen mother's relatives only have one younger brother, Li Yonghe, who has been promoted to the custody envoy."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei turned around and said to Xu Ping: "By the way, Yun Xing, I remember that you and Taiwei Li are the best in the Tong family? The emperor will definitely have great use in power!"

Hearing this, Ren Shouzhong's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy.

He destroyed Nanzhao, pacified Tubo, moved the ten surnames Turks, and collected all the lands in the river.

The maritime transportation was strengthened, and the sea was transported to Nanyang, and the Maritime Silk Road was expanded.

There is no regret in Talas here, and Suiyang City no longer laments. There are only athletes who are so arrogant that they are sweeping thousands of miles away, iron cavalry that rolls down the pearl curtain, and the heroic protector who is so arrogant...
