At the Luoyang Liushou Sihouya, Xu Ping raised his glass to Shi Quanbin and said, "Li Liushou was not in good health and could not see off the palace chief. I feel deeply sorry. Xu was not talented, so he advised Liushou and Xijing City officials to advise the palace chief to have a glass of wine and take care of it on his way back to Beijing!"

Shi Quanbin drank the wine and bowed, "Now Longtu is a Caoxian all the way, and I am just an eunuch. How can I bear such kindness? This time I came to Xijing to conquer the imperial palace, thanks to Longtu and a group of officials, and remember it in my heart. When Longtu returns to Beijing in the future, you and I will calmly reminisce about the past!"

Xu Pingjing was dismissed, and Wang Yaochen, Yang Gao and other officials came up to say goodbye to Shi Quanbin. Although Shi Quanbin was a close minister around the emperor, his status was still quite low. It was already quite grand to hold a banquet for him in the Leftover Office of the Left. If someone with status like Yan Shu returned to Beijing, Xu Ping and others would send him to the ten-mile pavilion outside Jianchun Gate. These people who came and went to see him off were certain rules. Those of ushered in and sent him to the farewell of the people of all levels and sent him away, not just casually. Only those who are particularly close will be sent out of the city in the name of private.

Shi Quanbin came to Luoyang City this time because Cai Qi proposed to move the capital to Luoyang some time ago. Zhao Zhen specially sent him to check the Luoyang Imperial Palace and asked Jingxi Road and Henan Prefecture to renovate it. Because it was a business, Xu Ping also treated each other on official business and did not pay attention to the private friendship between the two. Whether welcoming or seeing off, they came completely according to the regulations.

This is really unbearable, because Shi Quanbin came to Luoyang with Zhao Zhen's secret order. Just like when he was sent Shi Quanbin to the South China Sea to buy pearls, he secretly ordered him to check the affairs of prefectures and counties along the way. This time, Shi Quanbin came to Zhao Zhen to ask what the troubles were on the West Road of Jing, how to solve the tickets from Henan Prefecture, and what plans did Xu Ping have.

With Li Yong and a relationship, he was also a first-class Jinshi who appeared in Ruiguang and Zhao Zhen when he was singing the show. Xu Ping said that his relationship with the emperor was as good as other officials, no one believed in the world. But there were advantages and disadvantages. If Xu Ping always used this aura to do things, he would inevitably gather people who were competing for power around him, which would not help Xu Ping's career. Instead, being surrounded by such a group of people would blind his eyes and lose his direction. Therefore, except in private, Xu Ping and Zhao Zhen have always been in business and have no actions beyond the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.

After being an official for so many years, Xu Ping never reported secretly. Even when he was against the emperor in private, he tried not to talk about the personnel and affairs of the court. No matter who he admired, promoted, or hated, Xu Ping always directly submitted memorials through public channels. His relationship with Zhao Zhen and his opinions on the government were mostly tacitly understood.

It is precisely because of trust that there is no need to communicate in private. He said behind his back that Zhao Zhen was about to have questions in his heart.

Li Han was called the "Saint Prime Minister". Emperor Zhenzong never had any doubts about the people he recommended, and Zhenzong would never use those he opposed. He said that Wang Dan was the talent of the prime minister, so Zhenzong trusted him more. He said that Ding Wei was not very useful, and that Ding Wei could not turn over until Zhenzong was seriously ill and could not control the government. He believed that Mei Xun was too conscious and had a weak moral character. Until more than 20 years after his death, Zhenzong also used this reason not to give Mei Xun a chance.

The reason why he had such trust was not just because Li Han was the teacher of Zhenzong when he was the prince, and the teacher of the prince was not just him. Li Han was trusted because Zhenzong believed in his vision, his abilities, his character, and his selflessness. His words were objective and fair. This kind of trust was baptized by time and proved by facts.

Different eras have different ways of monarch and ministers. Xu Ping must abide by the customs of this era. Although doing this requires him to make greater efforts, everything is worth it. What he wants to do is to do unprecedented things. If he wants to carry out things smoothly, he must have unconditional trust from the emperor. If he does not want people to die, this kind of trust must transcend time.

If when Zhao Zhen just returned to Beijing, he was delighted with Xu Ping's eyes as he was young and a little bit of family affection brought by Li Yonghe's relationship, then in the past two years after leaving Beijing to West Beijing Road, Xu Ping and Zhao Zhen have matured. Now the relationship between the two is first of all, the monarch and the ministers, and secondly, the friendship and trust beyond the monarch and the ministers.

This time, it was precisely because Shi Quanbin brought Zhao Zhen's secret order that Xu Ping wanted to do everything in business. For so many days, he had never even had a banquet in private. Even because Lin Suniang and Xiuxiu were pregnant, the gifts Yang and Empress Cao entrusted Shi Quanbin to bring were collected by Xu Ping in the government and transferred to the house. After returning to Beijing, the two of them entered the palace to thank him.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had already said goodbye to Shi Quanbin, so they bowed to say goodbye. Shi Quanbin and his followers left the Xijing Left Office, and the public officials and servants from Henan Prefecture and the Left Office were in front of them. They wanted to send Shi Quanbin and others out of the Henan Prefecture.

After leaving Jianchun Gate, Shi Quanbin immediately turned around and looked at the low Luoyang city walls and sighed in his heart. This time he met Xu Ping, he clearly felt that he was not as casual as before. Intimate or intimate, the two met each other intimately and grew up together, but the relationship between friends became a little weak, and the relationship between colleagues began to become stronger. In the past, when Xu Ping was not at a high position and was not serious in his duties, he would not say anything when he got close to an eunuch. Now he is in the position of Zhilongtu and the doctor of the Right Secretariat. He has to step into the ranks of the most important officials in the court in one step, so he has to avoid other people's gossip.

Touching the pile of "Prosperity and Security of the People" in his arms, Shi Quanbin couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's not convenient to walk now. The book was called for by Zhao Zhen. He couldn't have no news for such a big thing, and he even felt a little bit surprised that Xu Ping didn't send the book over by himself. According to Xu Ping's intention, there was nothing shameful about it, so he just gave it to him. Shi Quanbin was all here. Could it be that others wouldn't have thought that he would pass on Zhao Zhen's words to Xu Ping? But I don't know what Zhao Zhen thought, and he had to bring the book secret back so that Shi Quanbin could not let others know.

There are so many officials following him every moment in Luoyang, and Xu Ping doesn’t have private contact with him. Where can Shi Quanbin hide his books? He has to hide them in his own heart. Fortunately, it’s spring now and there are a lot of clothes on his body. If it’s a few months, when it’s hot, I don’t know what to do.

There was something wrong in his heart, Shi Quanbin did not dare to delay on the road. He quickly passed the six posts between the two capitals and returned to the capital the next day. After entering the Da Nei, the morning court had not yet dispersed, Shi Quanbin breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his residence to change clothes and wash.

Since Yan Wenying was demoted, the personnel and affairs in the palace have undergone a series of changes. Shi Quanbin's status has gone further. Now he is a well-known figure in the palace. However, the eunuchs in the palace are more qualified than officials in the outside dynasty. Being trusted by the emperor is one thing, and being promoted is another. Several important positions are clearly stipulated how many years they have to be done, and it is also stipulated that they must be over fifty years old. Shi Quanbin is now returning to the palace to become familiar with Zhao Zhen. When he has the opportunity, he still has to leave the palace to serve. If he wants to be promoted in the palace, he must first make his hair white.

After the morning court was dispersed, he discussed political affairs with the prime ministers in the back hall for a long time before Zhao Zhen arrived at Tianzhang Pavilion and summoned Shi Quanbin.

I found a beautiful wooden box to put "Rich the Country and the People's Strength" in my hand. Shi Quanbin held it all the way to Tianzhang Pavilion. After reporting it, I went into the cabinet and bowed to present the wooden box.

Zhao Zhen first opened the box and looked at it, and asked Shi Quanbin: "I'm going to ask you to bring this book back in private. Why did you use such a silly box to hold it? How could you hide it from others all the way?"

Shi Quanbin replied with his hands: "How dare I violate the official edict? Xu Longtu gave this book privately. Since I got it in my hands, I have been hiding it on my body. Even when I slept at night, I didn't dare to leave. I returned to the big room and put it in this box."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well, I have written down your work with your heart. By the way, I will give you the book, how can Xu Ping say?"

"The meaning of Xu Longtu is to present it to the imperial view directly in the name of Jingxi Road"

"How can I send it to me without the priest? I just want to read this book in front of the priest. Why doesn't he understand this principle? Alas, Xu Ping is doing everything well, but sometimes he is a little more roundabout."

Shi Quanbin was calm and did not dare to answer, nor did he know whether Zhao Zhen praised or scolded Xu Ping.

Zhao Zhen roughly flipped the "Strategy for Rich the Country and Safeguarding the People" in the box, covered it up, and then turned around and asked Shi Quanbin: "Last new policy on Jingxi Road last year was a storm in the court. Mr. Lu repeatedly mentioned that the three departments of Henan Prefecture's flying tickets are unable to be redeemed. If they are forced to repay, they will inevitably not cause trouble and have any accidents. It is better to promote the title of officials of Jingxi Road to repay them last year. In this way, you can calm the hearts of all officials, and the government will not be greatly affected, and the best of both worlds is the best. Wang Xianggong believes that flying tickets must be redeemed. Even if the officials of Jingxi Road are promoted, they must use the name of upright. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If they are not redeemed this time, the local financial management will be at a loss in the future. You go this time, and Xu Ping will say this. What does he mean?"

Shi Quanbin replied respectfully: "I came to Xijing and told Longtu what the officials said. Longtu said that the tickets for Henan Prefecture must be paid. Not only the reasons Wang Xianggong said, but this time the tickets were not paid, the new policy of Jingxi Road last year turned into nothing after a year of hard work. The new policy will benefit the country and the people, and the "Strategy for Rich and Safeguarding the People" has already been very clear. Things like this are like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. This time, if you don't repay the tickets for Henan Prefecture, it seems that the situation this year will not be possible."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Xu Ping was holding on to the point of compiling "The Proposal of the Country and the People". He knew that this was the meaning. He would definitely be dissatisfied with the arrangements in the court after making such a big noise. Now that he heard what Xu Ping said in person, Zhao Zhen felt confident.

He asked Shi Quanbin again: "How to deal with Jingxi Road? Now the two prime ministers have different opinions. How do Xu Ping say it?"

"When I returned to the official family, I asked Longtu for this matter. He answered this way. Since he passed the Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng, Longtu was in Yongzhou for six years, and then returned to the capital to preside over the Salt and Iron Department for one year. He believed that he had gained something from financial management and border military affairs. However, the Political Affairs Hall presided over the major affairs of a country, Longtu did not dare to speak nonsense. The tickets for Henan Prefecture must be redeemed. As for the two ministers' disagreement, they can only be judged by the Holy Tribunal!"

Zhao Zhen frowned: "When did Xu Ping become so smooth? If that's the case, I'll ask him what he is doing!"

Shi Quanbin said: "The little one who took the liberty to speculate that Long Tu's answer in this way may not be in line with the holy intention, so he also asked him."

"How did he answer?"

"Longtu said that in the past, he did not dare to be right or wrong. He was like dancing in a house, good or bad, and he saw only the shadows in the house. As for how it looks outside the house, he didn't know. Now when the official asked about the affairs hall, he asked about the matter outside the house, and Longtu really couldn't answer."
