In the Song Dynasty, dispatch was equivalent to specific work and was distinguished from official title.
This is because high-quality civil servants and military officials can help their children and grandchildren. For example, the son of a prime minister can obtain an official position at the age of eight or nine.
But that is just to have an official name and receive some salary, but not to hold actual duties.
This actual duty is sending.
The lecturer of Tianzhang Pavilion was specifically responsible for interpreting classics for the emperor, a bit like the teachers of the Royal Academy.
This kind of official position is not high, but he is a close official of the emperor. Zhao Shu assigned Huang Shang, which naturally aroused a lot of jealousy.
But when Huang Shang was appointed as a lecturer at Tianzhang Pavilion, the civil servants discovered that something was wrong. Zhao Shu himself had no intention of asking for advice, and instead asked Huang Shang to teach Zhao Xu.
Everyone knows that Zhao Xu is the eldest son of Zhao Shu. He is in good health and has grown up. The possibility of dying in infancy is very small.
In other words, this is basically the future prince and the next emperor.
When the emperor was still young, it was too foul to be so close.
That's why it is important to cultivate the way of teaching. There is not much time to stay in the capital.
On this day, Huang Shang and Zhao Xu were enjoying the rain in the palace.
The spring rain is continuous.
The thin raindrops fell silently on the newly sprouted leaves. Only the water flowing down from the eaves made a continuous sound of water splashing on the stone slabs.
Huang Shang looked at a flower that looked more fresh and lovely under the wash of rain, and stretched out his hand.
Whoosh!
The water droplets that were originally flowing on the petals actually flew up directly, maintaining their previous shape in the air, and landed in Huang Shang's palm, forming a water flower.
In terms of literary spirit, he is already at the pinnacle of this world. He practices Taoism and exchanges his experiences with Xiaoyaozi. Under such conditions, it would be strange if he cannot make rapid progress.
Zhao Xu was still in the second grade of middle school. No matter how calm he appeared, he was extremely eager and curious about this kind of power. Huang Shang taught him the secret of Haoran's righteousness.
There is no doubt that Zhao Xu has learned nothing.
However, this does not affect Zhao Xu's enthusiasm, so much so that he would not say anything in normal times, but now he feels deep in his heart: "Sir, are you really going to Guangnan West Road? I really don't want to leave!"
The articles of the No. 1 Scholar were published for the world to study. Huang Shang's article on Guangdong and Guangxi was naturally studied repeatedly by ministers.
So now, under the urging of a certain prime minister who wishes to remain anonymous, many ministers have reported for various reasons that they want to transfer Huang Shang to another country to realize his "ideal".
Just like in later generations, many officials have been in the capital for a long time. In fact, many officials hope to be sent abroad to serve in local areas, take charge of the administration, and then return to the capital after gaining qualifications.
The local administration and the impeachment of the central censor are recognized as the fast track to promotion.
But even if you are a three-member leader, there is no reason to send him abroad in the first year.
Under normal circumstances, Jinshi exams are transferred once a year. Even if Huang Shang gets perfect scores and is promoted once a year, he will have to stay in the capital for at least three years and be promoted to a seventh-rank court official before he has the qualifications to be appointed as magistrate.
The ruling party.
But now, he will be sent abroad soon.
In the eyes of many people, this is not a good thing.
Everyone knows that Huang Shang saved the prince at the Qionglin Banquet before, and now he has the respect of the prince Zhao Xu. This unique condition cannot be matched by any prefect, let alone the exile in Guangdong and Guangxi.
land.
Zhao Shu naturally disagreed, but the civil servants' mouths and scoldings came to Japan every day, and the emperor couldn't stand it anymore.
Huang Shang watched their performance and stood up at the most appropriate moment to express his willingness to go.
The emperor was greatly moved, Lemon Spirit was delighted, and he made concessions in his duties.
Just as Zhong Shidao predicted, he will become a high official.
Zhao Xu knew that the matter had been decided. Looking at the more delicate palace maid not far away, he suddenly said: "Sir, you haven't married yet. Before leaving Beijing, do you want to find a good family to solve such a major life event?"
Huang Shangdao: "I don't want to take a wife."
Zhao Xu was stunned. After a moment, his eyes widened: "Is this true?"
Huang Shangdao: "Seriously."
He really doesn't know how to marry.
Not to mention that in half a year, he will return to his original body, and his avatar will selectively experience major events. Now, the people next to him are the most difficult to guard against, and every clue will reveal flaws.
If a person has to pretend all the time when he returns home or even when sleeping, his spirit will soon collapse.
Why bother yourself?
And looking at Huang Shang, who had been studying Taoist classics recently, his temperament became more and more earthly, and he seemed like a fairy, Zhao Xu was ecstatic.
Not marrying a wife means not having children, and having no offspring is considered unfilial nowadays. However, Huang Shang said in an understatement that it was indeed a sign from heaven. Wenquxing came down to earth and was the god who lifted him up to heaven in his dream.
Zhao Xu raised his hands, saluted seriously, and made a lifelong promise: "Sir, I will definitely live up to you!"
Huang Shang looked at him inexplicably.
If I don’t marry a wife, what will you enjoy?
However, the eyes of the future emperor were red, and he had to respond politely: "Your Highness, I will not let you down."
…
…
Ten days later, a new mission was sent.
The magistrate of Yongzhou and the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road.
"The third most powerful person in Guangxi? This official is really big..."
Yongzhou was Nanning in later generations, and the magistrate of Yongzhou was equivalent to the mayor of Nanning.
The transfer envoy is in charge of the finances of a province, and is also responsible for inspecting local officials, maintaining public order, counting prisons, recommending talents, etc.
In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the transfer envoy was basically the highest chief executive of the group. Now that part of the authority has been divided, he is still the top boss.
Combining these two positions, the only ones who can surpass him in Guangxi are the economic and strategic pacification envoy and the transshipment envoy.
Judging from the comparison of later generations, it was the Provincial Party Committee No. 3.
Nineteen-year-old No. 3 of the Provincial Party Committee.
Even if he got the third grade and was appreciated by the emperor, it was so exaggerated that it shocked people.
In fact, Huang Shang was originally unable to serve as magistrate of Yongzhou.
A certain prime minister, who wished to remain anonymous, hoped to appoint Huang Shangdan as deputy envoy.
Don't look at it. It's just a "deputy" word added, but the level is two or three levels lower. The deputy position has always been easily suppressed by the main position. This is a high position with little power.
If he continued to secretly cause trouble, Huang Shang would achieve nothing, and he would return to the capital in despair a few years later. By then, the emperor's gratitude and appreciation for him would naturally disappear, and his promotion would slow down, disappearing from everyone.
The calculations in the officialdom were indeed sinister, but not only did Zhao Shu disagree, there were also a group of officials who helped Huang Shang among the officials.
It was a group of bachelors led by Fan Zhen.
At the Qionglin banquet, when Huang Shang gathered Wenquxing, he originally wanted them to share the pressure. Unexpectedly, under the influence of Wenqi, these people actually gradually recognized Wenquxing and spontaneously helped him.
Don't underestimate this group of bachelors. They don't have a very popular minister yet, but they are the mainstay.
It happened that the governor of Yongzhou was seriously ill and retired. Fan Zhen strongly recommended Huang Shang, and Zhao Shu agreed naturally.
Now that he has the position of governor and concurrently serves as deputy transfer envoy, it is completely different.
In May, Huang Shang left Kaifeng and headed south. His first stop was his hometown of Yongzhou in Hunan.
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in fine clothes at night.
This time I had to go back.
Fortunately, his status is completely different from before. Even if there are any changes, his relatives will take it for granted.
After returning home, Huang Shang also discovered that Wuque and Nightingale had really put in the effort to transfer the land they had taken back from the Mingjiao to the Huang family in a planned way. Not only did they become wealthy households in Yongzhou, but they also had interests with the officials and gentry.
.
This ensures a stable life.
Without any worries, Huang Shang said goodbye to his parents and headed south again after resisting a week of pressure to get married.
In September last year, when he became the leader of Yongzhou, he went to Guangxi to study, stayed in Yongzhou for a long time, and saw with his own eyes the horror of the Jiaozhi invasion.
Now, he is no longer a traveling scholar, but has become a magistrate who is in charge of the government.
Huang Shang's arrival has already spread throughout the officialdom of Guangnan West Road.
Yang Xing, the governor of Guizhou and the traffic envoy of Guangnan West Road, and Shen Qi, the governor of Rongzhou and the transit envoy of Guangnan West Road, led a group of officials to welcome him.
Yang Xing is a little-known figure, and he did not hold this position in history. It seems that some deviations occurred. Shen Qi was one of the triggers of the Song-Yue Yongzhou War in history. It was a great success, involving hundreds of thousands of people.
common people.
Of course, Huang Shang's history is not so good that he even knows these people. Anyway, he attended the banquet and talked and laughed happily.
Before the banquet was over, an urgent report broke the peace in Guangxi.
Guangxi is located on the border of the Song Dynasty and borders two countries.
To the southwest is Jiaozhi.
To the west is Dali.
This time Jiaozhi did not jump, but Yang Yizhen in Dali rebelled and killed the German Emperor Duan Lianyi. Prince Duan Yanqing fled and asked for help from the Song Dynasty.
