Lu Yijian's calculation was very good, but there was one thing he didn't expect.
Liang Shi did not understand his intention. After coming out of Lu Mansion, he rushed to the banquet as invited.
The host of today's banquet is Pang Ji. Not long ago, Pang Ji was changed from a selector to a capital official. No, his new assignment also came down.
From Kaifeng Prefecture Facao to Xiangyi County.
Xiangyi County is a county under Kaifeng Prefecture. Pang Ji can hold this position mainly because of the recommendation of Xue Kui, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Pang Ji's brothers-in-law Li Zhi and Xue Kui were both Jinshi in the third year of Chunhua (992). There is another figure in this list that is also very important. Lu Yijian's uncle Lu Mengzhou was also a Jinshi in this list.
The relationship between the same year has always been the hardest hit area for cliques. Xue Kui now has the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture, while Lu Yijian is the one to take part in political affairs.
What kind of person rises fastest?
The person with someone on top rises fastest.
Of course, Xue Kui recommended Pang Ji not only because of Li Zhi, but also because of Pang Ji's father-in-law Bian Su.
Bian Su was of the same age as Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan, and they had always had a close relationship, and Xiang Minzhong was Xue Kui's candidate.
It was precisely because of Xiang Minzhong's recommendation that Xue Kui was transferred to the imperial palace.
As for why Liang Shi met Pang Ji?
First of all, the two of them had worked together briefly, and they were both serving in the army in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Secondly, Liang Shi's father once studied with the famous minister Wang Yucheng, and Wang Yucheng valued his father Liang Hao very much.
At the same time, Wang Yuchen and Pang Ji's father Pang Ge had always known each other and had a good relationship.
Thanks to Wang Yucheng's connection, Liang Shi and Pang Ji also had a good relationship.
Of course, in front of Pang Ji, Liang Shi had to salute as a junior, after all, he was still a senior.
Selecting someone to become a Beijing official is definitely a crucial step in an official's life.
Pang Ji is already in his thirties this year, and he only changed his official position after ten years of service. This speed is neither too fast nor too slow.
In the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), the person with the smoothest official career was Cai Qi.
Compared with Cai Qi, Pang Ji's promotion speed is undoubtedly much slower.
Previously, Cai Qi was a high-ranking official. Even though he was demoted from the capital, he was still the governor of the same place.
Nowadays, Pang Ji is only qualified to become a county magistrate.
There is a huge difference between the magistrate of a state and the magistrate of a county.
Even if Pang Ji serves as the county magistrate in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is still far away.
However, the difference in official positions did not affect the friendship between Cai Qi and Pang Ji.
Although Cai Qi could not arrive at today's banquet in person, he still sent congratulations to Pang Ji and wrote a poem himself.
At this time, Cai Qi, who was far away in Shaanzhou, did not know what happened in Beijing for the time being.
Liu Ye was planning to work around the relationship and try to recall Cai Qi to the capital.
Shaanzhou.
The moon was rising above the willow branches, and Cai Qi was sitting alone on the corridor in the courtyard, quietly looking at the moonlight in front of him.
The moonlight is beautiful today.
The night scene in Bianliang should also be like this, right?
A rough calculation shows that he has been in Shaanzhou for nearly two years, and his term of office will be up soon.
I don’t know where my next stop will be?
Can he be recalled to the capital?
Although Cai Qiyuan is in Shaanzhou, he is still very concerned about what is happening in the capital. In the past two years, the situation in the court has changed so fast that it is simply dizzying.
All kinds of new laws are emerging one after another.
Among them, Cai Qi was most concerned about the establishment of schools.
What a coincidence, the person in charge of this matter now is Fan Zhongyan, who is also a Jinshi in Dazhong Xiangfu's eight-year ranking.
All in all, Pang Ji, Fan Zhongyan and Cai Qi are still the same age.
However, neither Cai Qi nor Pang Ji could have imagined that there was such a person hidden in their department.
Zhu Shuo (the name Fan Zhongyan and his mother used after remarrying to the Zhu family), who was originally unknown, unexpectedly rose to prominence!
Although Fan Zhongyan is only a teacher at Yingtian Academy now, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this person will definitely rise to prominence in the future.
Otherwise, why would those wealthy families attend Fan Zhongyan's wedding?
Of course, it's a sigh of relief that Cai Qi has no intention of making friends with Fan Zhongyan yet.
No matter how quickly Fan Zhongyan is promoted, what does it have to do with him?
Didn’t I rise fast enough?
In the future, it’s not certain who will be the first to take over Zhongshu!
Cai Qi's thinking was not blindly confident. He believed that his talents were no worse than Fan Zhongyan's.
He was demoted just because he offended the Queen Mother.
After all, the Taiwei was indirectly killed by him.
Being demoted is justifiable.
"Mr. Lang, it's late at night. Let's go back to the house."
At this time, Cai Qi's old servant walked aside quietly and reminded him in a low voice.
"good."
Cai Qi nodded, and then he was going to clean up the wine stove next to him and take it back to the room to continue drinking.
"Mr. Lang, you are a noble man, how could you do such a thing?"
When the old servant saw it, he quickly stopped his behavior.
"Uncle Qi, it's okay."
Cai Qi shook his head firmly and declined the old servant's help.
His injury has long since healed.
At the mention of the injury, Cai Qi couldn't help but feel a hint of gloom in his heart.
It's been so long, and there's still no conclusion to this matter.
Is that all there is to it?
'well. '
Thinking of this, Cai Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Too.
What else can be done about this matter?
Is it possible for officials to make the whole story public?
Then what?
Let the whole world see the Liu family’s jokes?
Do you see the Queen Mother’s jokes?
No matter what, the Queen Mother is the mother of the official family and the Queen Mother of the late Emperor.
If the matter is really exposed, it will inevitably damage the national system.
…
…
…
The next day.
Funing Hall.
When Li Jie saw the memorial that Liu Jun submitted before leaving Beijing, he was stunned.
This memorial was strictly a memorial that pointed out the evils of the times. I don’t know what Liu Jun was thinking, but he directly named the harm of evil in power in the memorial.
Although he didn't name who Ziexie was?
But looking at the current situation in the DPRK, who is the traitor? Do we still need to name him?
The theory of the five ghosts is not without origin.
To be honest, Li Jie was a little touched after seeing Liu Jun's memorial, but just a little, not too much.
Unknowingly, Li Jie turned to the last page of the memorial.
In this page, Liu Jun did not continue to criticize the government and treachery, but recommended the loyal ministers he considered.
Among them, Cai Qi ranks first.
Liu Jun suggested calling Cai Qi back to Beijing to serve as the magistrate and admonisher.
Jianyuan and Yushitai are both public officials. Although their functions are similar, they belong to two different systems.
The latter has its own offices and is independent.
But Jianyuan is different.
The Admonition Court in the Song Dynasty was first established in the first year of Emperor Zhenzong's Tianxi reign (1017). The purpose of setting up the Admonition Court separately, according to the nature of the emperors of Zhao and Song, was naturally to divide the power of Yushitai.
However, Kanyuan was established relatively late. As of now, Kanyuan does not have a separate office space and is still affiliated with Menxia Province.
