Chapter 1064

~16 min read 3,052 words

Pang Ji and Liang Shi being dismissed from the premiership was completely expected.

Because the things Wang Yan did all had to be counted on their heads. Various official-merchant collusion, corruption and breaking the law, and even problems in the military system, Di Qing, who was far away in the south leading troops to fight Nong Zhigao, was implicated in a bunch of messy things in Bianjing City, let alone these two prime ministers in charge of the government.

The successors were Chen Zhizhong and Liu Hang. The former is controversial, and the latter has a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu, which is considered half of his own person. Of course, Wang Yan doesn't care about anyone's own person.

Or rather, he doesn't care about his own people above, but he cares about his own people below. Prime Minister sounds very awesome, and of course it is indeed awesome, but these people are not as high as Wang Yan's control over past power. Everyone is a flowing official, turning around in many places, one term for two or three years. Others are highly united with local big families, but Wang Yan is reshaping the pattern.

The so-called clean officials and good officials are nothing more than building bridges and paving roads, persuading farming and mulberry, vigorously governing learning, and being fair and strict. To sum up, it is to let the common people catch their breath under heavy exploitation and oppression.

Wang Yan is completely breaking the ecology, building a new balance, strengthening the authority of the government, damaging the surplus of big families, supplementing the deficiency of common people, and retaining this set of rules.

Whether it is Hangzhou or Bianjing, it is like this. Even in his hometown of Yangzhou, under his instruction and help, the old butler also represents him in doing things, seizing local power.

The work in Bianjing is no different. Even if he leaves, he can guarantee that the Patrol Yamen he transformed will maintain a different appearance than before. After all, he is leaving to be an official in the local area, not losing power and stepping down, let alone dead, and there is a day to return.

Those officials, big and small, who have worked under him, whoever dares to ruin the Patrol Yamen, just watch He Saner peel his meat...

Not to mention that he really considers the Patrol Yamen, because there will definitely not be such a good house raid opportunity in the future, which leads to a huge psychological gap for the Patrol Yamen up and down who have received high welfare. As a leader, he naturally has to consider the emotions of his subordinates.

So he intercepted a large amount of land, used it as public land for the Patrol Yamen, and found a few small households of grassroots officials whose families were in business, allocated some money and materials in the name of the Patrol Yamen, and gave some shops to let them operate business as a subsidy for the more than 10,000 people after the reform.

This is of course not in line with the rules, but so what? There are more than 10,000 people in the Patrol Yamen, and Wang Yan's high profile is also there. Even if they want to investigate, they can't. Furthermore, there is no reason to investigate.

The land was all raided by the Patrol Yamen, and the intercepted land was also fought for by Wang Yan in the Government Affairs Hall, the Three Departments, and Zhao Zhen. He only had one sentence, why was there no such land when he didn't raid the house? No one answered.

As for other industries, it is even simpler. If you really want to investigate, it is that those small merchants bought it from the Patrol Yamen. Later, they sent money to the Patrol Yamen, which is supporting the work of the Patrol Yamen and donating money to maintain the security of the capital.

It is definitely unreasonable, but it is hard even if it is unreasonable.

This was the action after seeing Zhao Zhen on the day before the New Year. Wang Yan completely stopped the work of implication, arrest, and house raid. In the fifteen days before the Lantern Festival, he implemented the welfare treatment of the Patrol Yamen.

Pang Ji and Liang Shi being dismissed from the premiership also marked the complete end of Wang Yan's term as Patrol Commissioner, and marked the complete end of the "Huangyou Big Case", which was a disaster for officials and big families.

On the same day, Wang Yan was promoted to Member of the Ministry of Works, titled Zhaoching Lang, authorized to know Yanzhou affairs, concurrently leading the Xiang Army, added Longtu Pavilion Direct Scholar, and specially bestowed purple robes.

Member of the Ministry of Works is an official name, Grade Seven. Zhaoching Lang is a civil scattered official, Grade Seven Upper. Longtu Pavilion Direct Scholar, library official name, Grade Three Lower, the previous Longtu Pavilion Wait-and-see is Grade Four Lower.

Specially bestowed purple robes is to show the emperor's favor. Because the position of the library is not counted in the normal official position. His proper official position is the Grade Seven Member of the Ministry of Works, wearing green official robes according to the system, not yet qualified to wear purple robes, which is only worn by officials of Grade Three and above, his level is not enough. So it is "specially bestowed" to show Zhao Zhen's favor for this good official.

Authorized to know Yanzhou affairs, concurrently leading the Xiang Army military affairs, is his dispatch. Yanzhou, almost the Yan'an area later, the government office is also in Yan'an, now called Fushi. So it is named this way because a long, long time ago, a Xianbei prince named Fushi was moved here, and the place was named after his name, which is very common.

And the current Yanzhou is the bridgehead for the war between Great Song and Western Xia. Knowing state affairs is to manage people's livelihood, and concurrently leading the Xiang Army is to really give him military power.

There is no doubt that as a front-line battlefield fighting with other countries, the Xiang Army, which has been abolished in the country, is all capable of fighting there. It is definitely not as good as the elite Imperial Guard, but Wang Yan believes that the Hangzhou Xiang Army he trained cannot beat the Yanzhou Xiang Army, even if the number and military equipment are the same, they cannot beat it, which is the gap in combat consciousness. However, if the Hangzhou Xiang Army is pulled out to fight a few games, it is hard to say.

The reason why the Xiang Army is the Xiang Army is because it is not yet the Imperial Guard. This seems to be a nonsense sentence, but the fact is so.

But the Hangzhou Xiang Army is different, all are strong and healthy, and are soldiers who have undergone more systematic training. And the Hangzhou Xiang Army excluded criminals, and all one thousand people were good family children. They have land and property, and have families and businesses. These are all guarantees of combat effectiveness and combat will.

This time he was transferred to the northwest, but there was no accident.

After all, he has a resume of training troops, also has a combat record of encounter battles, administrative management ability is also certified, and he is not a reckless man who doesn't know wisdom and only knows how to be reckless. Anyway, he can toss, his courage is big, and so far he hasn't asked anyone to wipe his ass, instead, he is wiping the ass for Great Song.

So instead of letting him continue to stay in the capital, everyone is terrified, fearing that he will have a stroke one day and set off some big case, it is better to send him to the northwest to toss. He has ability and can make money. Maybe he can toss out a different situation. Zhao Zhen will not have a reputation for treating loyal ministers thinly, everyone is safe, and can return to the previous appearance.

Anyway, if there is no need, everyone has reached a tacit understanding to let Wang Yan stay outside, absolutely not let him enter the capital, let alone let him be in charge of the government. This is good for everyone.

Wang Yan knows their thoughts very clearly, but he doesn't exclude it. After all, his official position has been rising, and his prestige has been rising. When he walks to the position of the road level, what others say will not count. After all, the resources of a city still can't be compared with a province.

Although Great Song is a state-county system, the officials at the road level are not so awesome, but it depends on who does it.

He not only doesn't exclude it, but is quite happy to go to the northwest. After he cleans up everything up and down there, he also has a mountain head in the army...

Runan County Prince Mansion, Wang Yan laughed and let go of Zhao Zongshi's wrist, and said: "The Great General is well maintained, just keep the status quo in the future."

"Thanks to you, the headache has not occurred for a month, and it has been quite stable." Zhao Zongshi nodded with a smile, and then asked, "I heard that you are going to know Yanzhou affairs?"

"Yes."

"Although the Qingli peace talks, in recent years, border provocations have been constant..."

"The Great General should worry less about these things." Wang Yan didn't let him continue.

Zhao Zongshi shook his head with a wry smile: "It's better not to worry..."

He had no interest, stood up and bowed to Wang Yan, which was gratitude, and also farewell, and then left with his wife.

Zhao Yunrang laughed: "Going to the northwest this time, I'm afraid you are holding your breath to fight Western Xia?"

"The County Prince said wrong, since the peace talks have been made, how can we talk about fighting? This official has never led troops to fight, so I dare not act rashly. If I ruin the major affairs of our dynasty, even death cannot redeem the crime. It's just a few border provocations. It is a common thing at the border between the two countries."

"You can stir up chaos in the capital as a Patrol Commissioner. Going to the northwest this time, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control you, I don't know what it will be tossed into. I tell you, you still have to be careful, one bad thing leads to a comprehensive war, that would be terrible."

"Why, the County Prince also cares about state affairs?"

"I care more about the Emperor's body." Zhao Yunrang licked his old face and blinked his old eyes, actually starting to sell cute, which is really uncomfortable.

Wang Yan shook his head amusingly: "I still say that, I can't say."

"Even if you don't say it, I know it clearly. Remember when you first entered the capital, you told the Emperor to abstain from sex, but as far as I know, the Emperor still has frequent sex. You said to abstain for half a year, I'm afraid the situation is not very good..."

"The County Prince don't need to probe, I will definitely not say more." Wang Yan bowed and said, "I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the capital easily this time, the County Prince take care."

"I eat a bucket of wine and a cow, don't worry, go..."

Zhao Yunrang waved his hand, and his words were quite sentimental. He really felt that Wang Yan was a good person, the two were temperamental, and they got along very easily. He of course knew Wang Yan's situation, and he didn't know how long he could live, and he really didn't know if he could see him again in this life.

Wang Yan bowed again and left to see Feng Jing.

Feng Jing's sense of existence was still a bit low, and they hadn't met many times in the capital. Mainly because Wang Yan did too big things, and his father-in-law kept a distance from him, so he didn't add trouble to Feng Jing, and Feng Jing took the initiative to find him to drink, and he didn't respond much.

Now that he is leaving, he still has to meet with a good friend.

The two didn't say anything, nothing more than reminiscing about the time they took the exam together, then sighing at how awesome Wang Yan did in the capital, and then discussing academic matters.

This is what Wang Yan has been doing recently. He took time to publish his second book.

Originally, he was prepared to wait until the basic work of the Patrol Commissioner was finished, open classes in the academy in the capital, and then send it out. However, the development of things was a bit unexpected. His awesomeness made him unable to mix in the capital. Don't look at his promotion, in fact, everyone knows that he was expelled from the capital.

So he also took advantage of the final tail-end to send his book out.

Of course, he could send it before, but at that time he was very busy, at least others thought he was very busy, working for state affairs. If he made an academic book, it would be a bit disrespectful to Zhao Zhen.

Being energetic also needs to be hidden. After all, Zhao Zhen already intended to suppress him. He was already able to toss enough. If he was still energetic, an emperor whose body was gradually weak and walking on the downhill road of life would also be very annoying to look at him. If the emperor is annoyed, the people working for the emperor will naturally be affected. After all, Wang Yan is not yet twenty-three years old this year.

As a person who continuously self-markets, and as the person with the strongest style in the officialdom in recent years, his new book release has a great influence. A person's learning must run through the way of dealing with people.

Although because of the vigorous prison, the vigorous implication, the vast scholars have some controversy about Wang Yan, but no one will deny Wang Yan's awesomeness. His family background, his resume, his deeds, have long been known. Everyone in the world knows that Wang Yan relies on his own ability.

It seems that the role of martial arts secrets in martial arts stories, scholars hope that after reading, learning, and thinking about Wang Yan's learning, they can be as awesome as Wang Yan.

But this is obviously impossible. If Wang Yan didn't have a living father, he wouldn't be able to be so awesome...

In short, Wang Yan's new book, borrowing his awesome deeds, has currently set off some craze. The reason why it couldn't form a big academic storm is also to blame Wang Yan himself.

After all, the people he arrested were all ruling classes, and basically cut the scholars of Bianjing in half. The various romantic figures in the past all went to the northwest one step ahead of him...

After gathering with Feng Jing, he sent the Sheng Hong family away. Sheng Hong was really scared by Wang Yan, and really didn't want to stay in the capital. He set the position of knowing Dengzhou, and left a few days after the Lantern Festival.

Wang Yan was not in a hurry, stayed at home with his wife and children for a few more days.

The atmosphere in the family was not too good, because the children were still young, Hualan and Shulan couldn't follow him, so they had to separate for a period of time, and wait until the children were older, they would take the children over.

There is a time for gathering, and a time for parting, and it is always time to go.

Hualan and Shulan helped Wang Yan pack things, Hualan complained: "In the past, you were not in a hurry to take office, why are you rushing people away this time."

Wang Yan shook his head amusingly: "Isn't it because your husband is too powerful? People in this Bianjing City are afraid of me. If I don't leave for a day, they can't be at ease for a day."

"Da Guanren, will you encounter encirclement and killing on the road?" Shulan asked with concern.

"Don't worry, no one can kill me. It's you two, stay safe in the capital, be careful, don't get involved in anything. It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, it's just affecting the mood. Stay away from the Wang family and Kang family, and whoever dares to find trouble and have bad thoughts, let Youyin take my post to the Patrol Yamen, and they will have their own difficulties.

If the Great General's wife comes to find you, don't worry, just associate normally, it doesn't matter to the storage..."

Wang Yan gave various precautions, looked at the wife and concubine who seemed to be crying at any time, and laughed, "It's just a year before we can gather, don't be sad. I will set off tomorrow, crying today is not auspicious. Alright, things are packed, let's rest early."

"Da Guanren and eldest lady go, I'll see if there's anything missing." Shulan was very considerate, not fighting or grabbing.

Wang Yan has always been fair, took Shulan and left: "What else can be missing? There is also our own industry there, nothing is missing."

Shulan was so confused, Hualan shook her head, and finally didn't say anything, and the three of them arrived in Hualan's courtyard...

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the best for traveling far.

Under the reluctant gaze of Hualan and Shulan, under the small hands of the two unlucky sons who didn't know why they were grabbing, under the distant gaze of Feng Jing and some officials of the Patrol Yamen, and amidst the celebration of the whole city, Wang Yan took Xiao Dongliang and several strong servants, along with a long caravan of merchants, to the northwest...
