Chapter 229 Yushi Zhongcheng! (Here he comes!)

Zhang Yaozuo praised Zhang Heng and kept Zeng Gongliang silent so that he could survive the crisis, but for Zhao Zhen, there were still many problems that needed to be solved.

A sudden sudden drop in annual income will have a great impact on next year's expenditures. If you are used to living a good life and suddenly have to reduce your expenditures, you will inevitably feel a lot of discomfort.

This is a big problem, but a big problem is how to arrange Zhang Heng.

If Zhang Yaozuo had not pushed Zhang Heng to the front in order to exonerate himself, then the court could pretend not to know.

After all, Zhang Heng had just been promoted to an official position this year. Even if he was temporarily unmoved, Zeng Gongliang had nothing to say.

But now that the matter has come to this, if the court continues to ignore it, it will be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth.

It is not difficult to get promoted, but how to properly arrange Zhang Heng's position is a bit difficult to decide.

The development momentum of Guangnan East Road is quite strong. Zhao Zhen also thinks that next year's Guangnan East Road will really be able to surpass all other roads and become another wealthy place in the Song Dynasty. At this time, he does not want Zhang Heng to leave Guangnan East.

Road, for fear that once Zhang Heng leaves, the development momentum of Guangnan East Road will be frustrated.

This is where the difficulty lies.

Zhao Zhen was also a little excited. This feeling was similar to the excitement he felt when he and Fan Zhongyan played against each other during the Qingli New Year, but it was different.

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Zhang Heng and Zeng Youwei: "Why are you back so soon?"

Zeng Gongliang thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, your Majesty should transfer Zhang Heng back to the capital. There is indeed no one suitable for him on Guangnan East Road. If he is transferred to the capital, he will have more choices.

Already."

Zhang Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will take a good rest for a while. Your Majesty, please don't think that I am too lazy."

The appointment of Zhang Heng was to remove Zhang Heng from being dispatched as the transfer envoy to Guangnan East Road and the magistrate of Guangzhou, and then appointed Zhang Heng as the censor Zhongcheng.

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, and then said: "I understand, and there is no need for any special treatment. Ju Zheng was sent to the local area with a small salary from his household. He has made outstanding achievements in the local area. When he returns to the capital, he will naturally be entrusted with important positions."

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of talent? Why not..."

Now it seems that Zhao Zhen is still the same Zhao Zhen, and has not changed at all.

Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "Before Zhang Qing went to Guangnan East Road, he said that he would give me a new Jiangnan, but I just listened to him. Now it seems that I have Zhang Qing, who is better than Fan Li."

Now I will recall you to the imperial court and let you govern the country in the future. You can also build a country. As for whether it is possible to destroy the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, we need to think about it in the long term. Ten years of gathering and ten years of lessons. One day, we can achieve this great goal.

A dream that all the kings and ministers of Song Dynasty want to realize!

Zhang Heng immediately answered the call and said that he was willing to work hard for Zhao Zhen's dream and vowed to complete it no matter what.

Zeng Gongliang praised: "It is the blessing of the court not to neglect things because of others."

Zhang Heng thanked him and left.

This appointment did not cause much sensation. Although Zhang Heng was very young, with Zhang Heng's current qualifications, this appointment only followed the promotion path.

Mrs. Zeng was very happy, especially when she saw her daughter's slightly bulging belly. She was so happy that she pulled Zeng Youwei into the room and whispered for a long time.

The name "Four-in-Tou" is not for nothing. Once you become one of the Four-in-Tou, it means that you are very close to the position of Prime Minister. For a Prime Minister in his twenties, it is scary to think about it.

——

[The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night. Even more, the stars are falling like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings fills the road. The sound of phoenix flute moves, the light of jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. Moths and snow willows have golden wisps. Laughter fills the fragrance.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, in a dimly lit place.]

Since you became an official in the second year of Qingli, you have made great contributions one after another. I will remember them all.

A smile appeared on Zhang Heng's face: "I am willing to do your best for Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "According to the promotion channels, it is naturally so, but don't I see that Guangnan East Road is developing quite well and can't bear to interrupt it?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Whatever you say, as long as everyone can complete the monthly performance appraisal, there is no such thing as laziness.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, good guy, except when Zhang Heng was the master of Zhizhigao, he was regarded as a pure official, and in the rest of the time, he was mainly a corrupt official. It seems that he is really not very good.

You can't think deeply about this matter. Once you think about it deeply, you will feel quite shocked.

Zhang Heng sneered in his heart. He had already expected it. He had given Fan Zhongyan a book that could be used to inspect officials all over the world. He didn't think that Zhao Zhen hadn't read it. Zhao Zhen must have been wilted, otherwise it would be impossible.

There was no movement.

Zhao Zhen immediately understood what Zhang Heng meant, came over and patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and said: "You can prosper a state when you are in one state, and you can prosper a whole country when you are together. Now I invite you to come back and live in the imperial court to prosper a state."

It may not be impossible to destroy a country, but as for destroying a country..."

On Lantern Festival night, Bianjing City becomes a sea of ​​lights.

Zhang Heng stopped to watch the fireworks, then turned around and said to Zeng Youwei with a smile: "Youwei, come and see the fireworks all over the city."

Suddenly he thought about it, slapped his thigh and said happily: "Yeah, let me think about it, Ju Zhengzhi Quanzhou, then Bao Zheng took over, and then Han Jiang, hey, this method is good, I heard there are rules and regulations."

Sui, according to Zhang Gui and Han Sui, these two people can indeed continue the various development routes set by Zhang Heng, so it is indeed a good idea to let them go."

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "Quanzhou?"

The two of them talked about Fan Li. Zhao Zhen hoped that Zhang Heng would become his Fan Li. Zhang Heng immediately modestly said that Fan Li could rejuvenate the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu Kingdom. Such abilities were something he did not possess.

The monarch and his ministers seemed to have exchanged pleasantries, and then Zhao Zhen said humbly: "Participating in politics, I would like to ask you about Zhang Heng. How should I give Zhang Heng a promotion this time? I am a little hard to make a decision.

Zhang Heng didn't rest long after he came back, because Zhao Zhen summoned Zhang Heng the next day.

The appointment did not cause a sensation, but it still shocked and envied many people.

It's not because I'm reluctant, but because I don't want the development of Guangnan East Road to be frustrated, so I would like to ask for advice on how to get involved in politics."

Zhao Zhen was about to say a few big words, something like "Just do it, I'll help you with it" and so on, but suddenly thought of this kid's ability to toss, he suddenly withered, and said quickly: "Forget it, just complete the monthly tasks

Just do the performance appraisal. The assignment I gave you is just excessive. Don’t worry too much. When your term is almost over, I will give you a real job assignment."

Zhao Zhen suddenly realized: Yes, it is most reasonable to consult Zeng Mingzhong on this matter. If Zeng Mingzhong puts forward an opinion, it means he has approved the plan.

All this happened on an ordinary day, but if it were described in a grand historical narrative, one monarch and one minister of the Song Dynasty, in a few words, laid the foundation for the future prosperity of the country.

How old is Zhang Heng this year?

Censor Zhongcheng who is in his early twenties!

It was the Qingli New Year when I went, and it was already the Huangyou Year when I came back. Although it was only a little over a year, it felt like a world away.

Then he couldn't help complaining: "You won't let anyone come back to let you know when you come back so that we can pick you up."

Zhang Heng and his wife returned, but they did not inform anyone in advance. Instead, they quietly returned to their courtyard and waited until the next day before going to Zeng Mansion to meet Zeng Gongliang.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, it's just more than a year, how long can it be?"

Zhao Zhen also smiled and said yes, and then asked Zeng Gongliang: "Joining politics, what do you think Ju Zheng should do when he comes back?"

On the second day, Zeng Gongliang was summoned to Chongzheng Hall.

He is Zhang Heng's father-in-law, and he already acknowledges it. Whatever others say is just talking nonsense.

This was not a particularly formal duet between the monarch and his ministers, but it was an agreement reached.

What does the title of Censor Zhongcheng mean? It means that he has entered the power center of the Song Dynasty.

You have indeed worked too hard these years, and you can just take a good rest. You still have a long time to serve the court!"

Zhao Zhen encouraged Zhang Heng, saying that your past achievements have shown that when you are in a state, you can prosper a state. When you are in charge of a road, the road will also prosper because of you.

Zeng Gongliang was also very pleased: "Here we go to Guangnan East Road. My good son-in-law has achieved great results."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "It's right to participate in politics. How about letting Ju Zheng go to Yushitai?"

After reaching the agreement, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects became closer.

Zhao Zhen smiled happily.

The matter was thus settled.

Zhao Zhen thought about it all day and night but came up with no good solution. Concubine Zhang reminded her: "Why don't you ask Zeng Zeng?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I just didn't want to trouble you to pick him up, so I came back quietly."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? Just postpone the discussion for another time. Haven't the officials already been promoted to officials and given additional posts?"

When confronting Fan Zhongyan, he urged Fan Zhongyan to quickly come up with countermeasures, and he felt that he had to do something in times of crisis. However, when facing Zhang Heng, he had a feeling that Zhang Heng had a firm determination.

Power, this feeling made Zhang Heng feel that as long as Zhang Heng was willing, there seemed to be nothing he couldn't do in the world.

Zhang Heng shook his head modestly and said: "How can I compare to Fan Li? Fan Li can prosper a country or destroy a country. I can only prosper a place. As for destroying a country..."

Zeng Gongliang laughed and said: "It all depends on you, the official."

Zhao Zhen considered it for a while and said: "...I want to do what I want, but it is only possible if I have to endure hardships like the Yue Kingdom, [ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons] and hard work.

As for Zhang and Zhangshu's families, both of whom are officials in other places, there is no need to go see them.

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are back again."

Weng and son-in-law immediately laughed.

The meaning is that Zhao Zhen intends to entrust the state affairs to each other, and Zhang Heng also promised Zhao Zhen that I will work hard for your dream.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "...Why don't we let Ju Zheng take charge of Sansi's affairs? Property matters are what Ju Zheng is best at..."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Have the officials forgotten what happened in Quanzhou before?"
