It was already late autumn and the weather became colder. + The water in Jinshui River became colder and seemed to be more solemn. Dead leaves floating on the water surface, rising and falling with the water waves.

In the Jiugui Pavilion, Xu Ping and Shi Yannian sat opposite each other, with a few simple dishes on the table and a large bottle of fine wine.

Yongliang Road has been confirmed, and the candidates have been roughly determined.

Zhang Pin's official position was too low, and it was obviously no longer suitable to serve as the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road. He would be transferred back to Beijing and have another appointment. The one who succeeded Zhang Pin was Fan Yong, the former deputy envoy of Privy Council, who is now the governor of Shaanxi Province. During the Xianping period of Fan Yong, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Privy Council during the Tiansheng period. After the emperor took power, all the personnel of the Privy Council were replaced. Fan Yong was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi Province. Guangxi was a border area, and most people were unwilling to take office there. Now the official ranks required were high, so he had to re-appoint these demoted personnel.

Yongliang Road imitated the old Hebei Road and set up a pacification envoy, with Fan Feng who was idle at this time as his first position. Since the Empress Dowager passed away, it was not easy for Fan Feng to camp everywhere and was not driven out of Beijing at this time. If he had this opportunity, he would be thrown into the horizon. Since Emperor Zhenzong served as the Jing Dynasty, he was the former governor of the state army, and set a precedent for civil officials to lead the army. Later, the four routes of Hebei established pacification envoys and gradually participated in the use of civil officials. However, the system had not yet formed a system for leading the army. Yongliang Road adopted Fan Feng, a civil official, as the commander, because Xu Ping had finished the battle, and then it was civil officials as the main force and military as the auxiliary.

In the past, Cao Keming, the governor of Yongzhou, was deployed as the cavalry and infantry of Yongliang Road, and was in charge of military affairs. He was stationed in Yongzhou. Feng Shanji was deployed as the deputy capital and stationed in Qinzhou. He had two subordinates, one stationed in Tianzhou and the other stationed in Liangzhou. The former Zuojiang Road military inspector Sang Yilu was promoted to 15th capital, and he was appointed as the deputy envoy of Xijing Workshop as the chief military commander of Yongliang Road, and stationed in Liangzhou.

Xu Ping, a person in these important positions, was not qualified to make suggestions. When he was talking in the hall, he just mentioned Cao Keming, but he didn't expect that he would actually use him in the end.

Xu Ping is qualified to nominate candidates for several prefectures and counties, such as Taiping Prefecture promoted from Taiping County, the newly established Liangzhou Hotan Prefecture, Guangyuan Jun transformed from Guangyuan Prefecture, the newly established Ningming County, Shangsi County, Pingxiang County, etc.

In the end, Xu Ping only nominated one person, which was to recommend Shi Yannian as the newly established governor of Liangzhou.

Shi Yannian's only backer now is Fan Feng. Although Fan Feng did not give up and was determined to stay in the capital, he had recently got involved with Lu Yijian and even after being appointed as the Yongliang Road Pacifier, he still dragged it away in the capital. But the matter was clearly there, because Fan Feng once was in charge of the Censorate, and there was a relationship between the censors. Now the censors are busy cleaning up other remnants of the empress dowager. He still doesn't care about him. Once the censors take action, Fan Feng's black history back then will definitely be presented to talk about it. At that time, he would not be as glorious as he wants to leave at that time.

This is the recommendation system. If the leader defeated the person he recommended before, he would inevitably be punished. Shi Yannian would inevitably be implicated by Fan Feng. It would be better to hide out now. Although Liangzhou is remote, it has the foundation laid by Xu Ping. It is not difficult for Shi Yannian to make some political achievements with Xu Ping's name. It is also the capital for promotion in the future.

The fate of a small official is so helpless. If he doesn't enter the court for a day, he can only rise and fall with others. Unless high-level Jinshi like Xu Ping, who does not need to be recommended by others, the emperor will naturally be taken care of by the emperor. Unfortunately, there are not many people who can be considered the emperor's disciples in this era. There are only three or five people in the top ten in the Jinshi class, and the others still have to find their own ways.

Xu Ping and Shi Yannian were not talkative people, they just drank wine silently and looked at the autumn scenery around them.

Xu Ping was still white at that time, and Shi Yannian was just a small military officer. The two met because of drinking. For many years, they actually had no close relationships, but everyone thought that the other party was trusted by themselves. They often gathered together. However, they only talked about some errands and never discussed the government affairs.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Sometimes this kind of friendship that completely removes worldly thoughts is rare.

Years have passed, Shi Yannian has transformed from a small military officer to a literati magistrate. He has famous poetry all over the world, but his official career is extremely wasted. When the empress dowager was in power, Fan Feng wanted to recommend him, but he himself was unwilling to refuse. Now that the empress dowager has gone, he will be dragged down by the boss Fan Feng back then. God seems to be determined to be unable to get along with him.

Xu Ping entered the court from vain, and the speed of promotion of official positions was extremely rare in this dynasty. Shi Yannian had to be taken care of by Xu Ping in turn. No one can explain the world's affairs.

It was almost noon, Shi Yannian put down his wine glass and said to Xu Ping: "I'll see you today if I'm farewell today."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You and I are in my prime, and the spring and autumn are still growing in the future. Why do you have to say this? Liangzhou is just a little hotter than the Central Plains. It has wind all year round, so it is not very difficult to stay. Besides, my favor is still there, and my term will pass soon."

Shi Yannian looked at Xu Ping: "You are not just a favor. I heard from those who rushed back to Beijing to report the matter. To the south of Yongzhou, you can stop the children from crying at night. In the past, every time you talk about you, you would be downplayed. Now the court has recorded merits and many people return to the court to report the matter in Yongzhou. Only then do you know that the murderers in Liangzhou were killed and captured, and the young and strong Jiaozhi were two out of ten."

Speaking of this, Shi Yannian shook his head repeatedly: "I have been with you for many years, but I still don't know that you are so harsh."

"Don't listen to those people talking nonsense. I haven't killed anyone except the battlefield."

Jiaozhi's territory was less than half of Vietnam's later generations, and its development was not complete. In fact, there was not much population at this time. After a few battles, it was 60,000 to 70,000 people in Xu Ping's hands. Xu Ping did not kill people indiscriminately. He just captured all the prisoners to plant sugarcane. In addition, after Xu Ping left, the sugarcane business went from Jiaozhi Latin, and the second to the youngest went.

At this time, Jiaozhi had completely lost the confidence to oppose the Song Dynasty. He had to rely on the Song Dynasty's reputation to scare the surrounding Dali and Chameng and slowly recover from the wounds. The King of Eastern Expedition and the King of Kai each occupied their own territory and were ready to go to war for the throne at any time. At the same time, he tried his best to curry favor with the officials of Yongzhou to win the reputation of great righteousness from the Song Dynasty court.

At this time, it is time to go to the governor of Renliang Prefecture to make political achievements.

On the official roads of the two capitals, the autumn wind is bleak.

Xu Ping watched Shi Yannian get on the horse and said goodbye: "A man is in the border area, so he doesn't have to be eager for a moment. Today I will leave for a while, I wish you a glory one day!"

Shi Yannian bowed and drove away.
