Xu Ping, Li Di and Chen Yaozuo, left Luoyang, Xijing and headed towards the capital along the two capital post roads. Xu Ping rode a horse, while the two old men took a car, and they did not walk fast. Yan Shu and Wang Yaochen had already left first except for the mission.

As expected, news kept coming along the way, the key middle and low-level officials in the capital were undergoing major changes. The two censors Gao Ruonai and Yao Zhongsun were transferred to the Censorate, and Han Qi was promoted to the Right Censor and was in charge of the Censorship together with Wang Yaochen. In addition to the Censor Central Chief Zhang Guan, the Censorship Station was almost replaced by the Censor Zhiza Sima Chi, and Fang Xie was also transferred back to the Beijing to serve as Censorship. The most surprising thing was that Li Shu was transferred out of the capital, and the Song Dynasty was directed to the Sherenyuan, and the imperial edict was compiled.

The last news made Li Di and Chen Yaozuo very unhappy. It would be fine if the censors replaced the people. Relatively speaking, the two yamen were independent of the school's disciples. The Sherenyuan was a subordinate of the school's secretary, so Zhao Zhen had a little over the replacement. Fortunately, there were many posts for the edicts, and after they became prime ministers, they could slowly get the candidates they recognized.

There was no change in the candidates of the Sansi. Everyone knew that this was to let Xu Ping take charge of the Sansi. He would not change the person until he returned. Compared with Xu Ping, it was obvious that Zhao Zhen was not at ease with the two future prime ministers.

When we arrived at Baisha Town, Li Di suddenly said, "Xu Longtu, this is not your hometown? We are tired on the way, so we might as well rest here for two days. After we have recovered, we will rush to the capital in anger!"

Chen Yaozuo was shocked and hurriedly said, "My grandpa, now the four prime ministers are dismissed, there is no one in the political affairs hall, and the government is in chaos. The emperor summoned us back to Beijing and there must be important tasks. Why are we delayed on the road?"

Now Chen Yaozuo wished he could have wings and flew back to the capital. One day later, many positions were occupied by Zhao Zhen. Zhang Dexiang and Yan Shu did not dare to reject the emperor's appointment, and he must have issued a handwritten edict to say what was. At this critical moment, Li Di still had the intention to rest on the road!

Li Di said: "I am old and weak, and I can't walk anymore! Mr. Chen, why not do this? We sent someone to the capital to apologize to the emperor, and said that we were unwell and we had to rest in Xu Longtu's village for two days before rushing. How do you think?"

Chen Yaozuo was about to refuse, but when he turned around, he saw Xu Ping riding on the horse next to him smiling. After thinking about it, he understood Li Di's intention. No matter how fast these people walked on the road, how could they compare to Zhao Zhen's thoughts? He might as well express his dissatisfaction to Zhao Zhen. Is it okay if we don't leave? If you want to change all the seats to those you like, then we will give you time to change them. If you have the ability, you will put all the seats in full. The prime minister will never do it at most.

Thinking about it, it seems that Li Di's method is more reliable now. He rushed back in a hurry, not only could he not stop Zhao Zhen's actions, but he was afraid that he would also have a view in his heart. It would be better to leave him alone. This time, the emperor's behavior was unauthorized, and the prime minister who was about to take office expressed his dissatisfaction and reasonableness, otherwise he would not be able to become the emperor's puppet when sitting in the political affairs hall in the future. The prime minister who only acted according to the emperor's wishes was afraid that Zhao Zhen would not be able to use it even more.

The two old ministers reached an agreement, and Xu Ping was certainly not easy to object, not to mention that they said they wanted to visit his own village, so how could they keep it away? They pretended to persuade him for a few words, and then a few people got off the official road and went to the restaurant in the Xu family in Baisha Town first.

Even if we can really go back to the three departments and promote reforms, we still need the support of two prime ministers. What Zhao Zhen can provide is actually determination, and the real help still depends on the various yamen.

Shortly after summer began, the peach blossom water had just passed, and the river water was rising. The Jinshui River, which had been deserted for a winter, became lively again. Although the big boats were not connected, the boats were continuous, which seemed particularly lively. The Xu family restaurant by the river ushered in a busy time, and several servants stood outside and kept greeting guests.

Xu Ping had no intention of staying in Baisha Town, so he did not notify the people in the village. The sudden arrival caught the restaurant off guard.

Manager Jiang from the restaurant received the news and hurriedly rushed out to greet Xu Ping and his party. This was the servant in the restaurant when Xu Ping first arrived in Baisha Town. The old man in the family is now working hard to manage the Xu family's industry here.

After the ceremony, it was still early, Xu Ping and others were not interested in having a meal in the restaurant. They asked the restaurant to prepare staff and took their group to the village. In Li Di's words, they would have a good rest for a few days before they could go back in the capital.

Just as we were about to leave the restaurant, three imperial guards suddenly came from the road, each of whom picked a wine gourd and walked towards the restaurant with great strides. The nearby imperial guard camp is the most important source of customers for the Xu family, and this kind of scene is available every day, which is not uncommon.

However, the people who came today were different. Gao Daquan was walking in the front. This was the old man who went out of the Xu family and followed Xu Ping away from Lingnan many years ago. Everyone in the Xu family recognized him, and the servant hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Gao Daquan saw Xu Ping on his horse from afar and shouted loudly: "Official, are you going to live in the village?"

After not seeing each other for two years, Gao Daquan has been promoted to the Imperial Army, and his people have become much more calm. Xu Ping wanted to get off the horse and talk to him, but Li Di and Chen Yaozuo's cars had already moved, so he had to whisper: "The two of you are tired and unwell on the road. You have to rest in the village. If you have nothing to do, come to the village to see me and we will talk!"

Gao Daquan responded with his hands and watched Xu Ping ride a horse with Li Di and Chen Yaozuo to Xujiazhuang.

Watching Xu Ping walk away, Gao Daquan turned around and said to the two people around him: "The one who has just gone is Xu Longtu. Ten years ago, the Chunze Supervisor nearby was abandoned. In addition to military origin, I went to Longtu Village to be a villager. Longtu saw that I was strong and did a good job, so he specially paid more wages and took me in the village. Later, the Jinshi who was a Jinshi in Longtu, except for the Yongzhou magistrate, went to Lingnan. By chance, I was today."

A young military officer next to him, who was tattooed on his face in his twenties or thirties, said: "With such an opportunity, I will make a fortune with this brother!"

Another white-faced man in his thirties also said: "Ten years have passed, if the military marquis had not followed Longtu, how could he be today?"

The military positions are the chief and deputy envoys of the fifth, sixth and seventh ranks, higher than the ambassador and lower than the official of the Yao County, and beyond the normal scope of relocation according to qualifications. Any excuse must be subject to special orders, so there is a title of rampant. For military generals, this is a very important stage. If placed in the local area, you can serve as a civil servant from the prefectures and military commanders. Further, Yao County belongs to the rank of Gao Jing military officers. Gao Daquan has made military achievements and has been transferred much faster than others. Now he has become the Sixth rank Sifangguan envoy, the military capital of the Palace Front Office, and the military deputy.

At this time, the officials of several ranks cannot be compared with those in the later Ming and Qing dynasties. Regardless of civil and military affairs, before the sixth rank, there are many and secret ranks before the sixth rank. Once they enter the fifth rank, their identities will be extraordinary and the title of marquis is also ordinary. The secrets of the middle and lower ranks limit most people to the middle and lower ranks, but there are enough rank officials to be moved. Even if they are in the sixth and seventh ranks, they don’t have to worry about not being promoted according to their seniority. Those who can leap from the middle and lower ranks to the fifth rank or above either rely on political achievements or military merits. Of course, the most people rely on relationships. However, no matter what, at that point, they are significantly different from others.
