Ten days after leaving, Lan Yuanzhen arrived again. Du Zhongxiao was promoted from Hequ Road to the rank of scholars of Longtu Pavilion, Minister of Rites, and Chief of the Censors of the Censors, and changed back to the literary and information sequence. The Western Regions were officially separated from Hequ Road and were Anxi Road. Han Qi served as Hequ and Anxi Road.

Fu Bi was promoted to Hequlu's General Secretary, Zhang Sheng was still the deputy envoy, and Tian Jing was transferred from the Legislative Judge to the Deputy Envoy. Li Fugui was changed to the Legislative Judge under Han Qi, and was also promoted. The pattern of Hequlu has no major changes except for the more Han Qi, the immediate boss.

The imperial edict clearly stated that Du Zhongxiao stayed in Shengzhou first, and only after Han Qi arrived and the two could return to Beijing to take office after they handed over.

Du Zhongxiao received the edict, but was a little surprised. He did not expect that he would become the chief of the censor. The officials under the prime minister often said that the four-headed people were, namely the Hanlin scholar, the Censor Zhongcheng, the Sansi envoy, and the Kaifeng Prefecture. At this time, the three departments had been split, and the positions of the three departments were actually merged into the Zhongshu. The three departments were deputy envoys became the chief envoys, and their status was not enough to be on par with the other three positions.

Du Zhongxiao may have been one of the three envoys based on his previous qualifications. After all, he knew that Kaifeng Prefecture was a bit low and his status was not very high, and the Hanlin scholar's lyrics were not well-known, and the Censor Zhongcheng himself was not famous enough. However, he did not expect that he became the Censor Zhongcheng who was only slightly lower than the Hanlin scholar's rank. The Censor Zhongcheng was the first person in the imperial court's constitutional institution, with a high status and great etiquette.

The chief official of the Censorate was originally the Censor, but the Censor was very powerful and did not give anyone, but the deputy Censor Zhongcheng performed his power. Over the years, the current Censor Zhongcheng, except for some special powers, has almost the same status and position as the Censor Zhongcheng.

Such positions have always been held by Qingwang officials, and they are not worth a little less reputation. Although Du Zhongxiao had great military achievements, he did not hold an important position in the court. He thought he had no Qingwang, so he was arranged for some reason.

After receiving the edict and incense case, Du Zhongxiao bowed to Lan Yuanzhen and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will go there again in ten days."

Lan Yuanzhen said: "Nothing, it's really convenient to get here by train now."

After saying that, Lan Yuanzhen asked carefully: "This time, Jishuai will no longer refuse to obey the order, right?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "If you don't obey the imperial edict, will Your Majesty rebuke the imperial edict? Although I am not talented, I have to force myself to take office."

Lan Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this and said, "Why did Jishuai say this? After hearing the imperial edict, Jieshuai was in charge of the Censorate, and the officials in the capital warned each other that Jieshuai had defeated the Khitan and Dangxiang, and restored the Western Regions one after another. They were not ordinary people. In recent years, each of them should be alert at all times and not be caught by the Censorate, otherwise life would be difficult."

Du Zhongxiao was stunned when he heard this. He was rarely in the capital and was not familiar with the famous ministers and generals in the capital. How could he make such remarks?

In fact, since Du Zhongxiao rescued Tang Long Town three years ago, he first defeated the Khitan, killed the Khitan Emperor, and then defeated Dangxiang. His reputation was unparalleled at that time. After two or three years, everyone gradually began to forget it, and then returned to the Western Regions, and his reputation rose again. Du Zhongxiao felt that his reputation was not enough and was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public. In fact, in the eyes of the officials in the capital, Du Zhongxiao made unparalleled achievements as a civil servant, who dared not to accept it? Not to mention that the court's governance in recent years, military and political affairs came from learning the reform of the troops and horses of Hequ Road, while civil affairs mostly learned from the experience of the West Road of Jing, all of which came from Du Zhongxiao. Such a person might be better to be the magistrate, but everyone was under pressure to be the chief censor of the people.

Maybe this cannot be said at this time. Du Zhongxiao and Lan Yuanzhen both had doubts in their hearts and pressed them to express them.

At the moment, the Houya held a banquet, and all the officials from Shengzhou arrived to welcome Lan Yuanzhen and congratulate Du Zhongxiao on his success.

Just by his official position, Du Zhongxiao was appointed as the governor of the military commander and the commander of the military commander of the Beijing Censorate, which was not considered a high promotion. When Han Qi returned to the court from the Hedong Road, he directly served as the Privy Councilor. However, with Du Zhongxiao's previous qualifications, he had been promoted to Changping of the West Road of Jing, which was a high promotion.

At this time, the position of an official is an official and a position. The dispatch is the most important, but it also depends on the official and the position. Du Zhongxiao's position is the scholar of Longtu Pavilion and the Minister of Rites. Both are already extremely high. Although the dispatch of the Censor Zhongcheng is under the throne, he is a self-organized person, which is very important.

After drinking for three rounds, Lan Yuanzhen said: "Jingsupervisor has been on Hequ Road for more than three years. He has experienced many wars and has never been defeated. He has expanded the land for nearly ten thousand miles, and has been thousands of years old and present, and can also be regarded as a famous general. This time he returned to Beijing and took charge of the Constitutional Stage, which really shocked all officials."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and felt a little awkward. He returned to Beijing to work, and was always afraid that others would look down on him. Why did he listen to what Lan Yuanzhen said? Instead, the officials in the capital were so afraid?

The fortune transfer officer Bao Zheng said: "Ji Shuai Shuai has been on the road of Hequ for more than three years, and has been invincible in foreign wars and has been in order. Returning to Beijing to take charge of the constitutional platform, which shocked the court officials, is also a temporary beauty."

Fu Bi said: "Although the Censorate is under the prime minister, he is a clerk institution and is not under the command of the prime minister."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Since I became a Jinshi, I have been an official abroad, and the situation in the capital is not clear. I am really a little frightened when I return to Beijing this time. The Constitutional Terminal is very important, and I am handed over it to me, just for fear of being insulted."

Bao Zheng said: "Jing Zheng commanded more than 100,000 troops, and if he was determined, why not be afraid of the officials in the capital!"

The other officials said this, which made Du Zhongxiao wonder whether his cognition was deviant from them. There was no doubt that his military achievements were no match for him at this time. If he was appointed as a military position, of course others would not dare to underestimate him. Now, if he switched back to the civil service, or the censor with a special status among civil service, can he really shock all officials? Just don’t observe these people for a few days and give him ugly.

Some officials during the banquet felt that the position of the Censor Zhongcheng was a bit low for Du Zhongxiao, but as an independent constitutional platform, both officials and positions were enough, so it would be considered a high promotion to serve. Some simply believed that this was a good opportunity for Du Zhongxiao to enter the central government.

Listening to their discussions, Du Zhongxiao slowly reacted. In general, the Song Dynasty was separated from civil officials and military generals. Although it was gradually accustomed to using civil officials as commanders since the war with Dangxiang in the past few years, for most people, officials who led troops to fight were always a little different. For example, Du Zhongxiao led troops to fight and made many military achievements. It is conceivable that his style must be strict with all officials, and of course he would feel shocked.

Du Zhongxiao listened to Lan Yuanzhen's words, and even officials in the capital believed that using Du Zhongxiao as the chief censor was a manifestation of the emperor's retaliation of the administration. It is very likely that next, there would be big moves against all the officials.

Listening to everyone's words, Du Zhongxiao felt a ridiculous feeling. If he had not had too little qualifications, he would have been back to become the chief clerk. How could he take a step back to take over the censorship? Although the supervisors have special courtesy, such positions will eventually offend people. As an official in the court, in addition to making contributions, he should not offend people, right?

In fact, offending people is not that scary in this era, which is very different from the officialdom in Du Zhongxiao's previous life. There is an emperor in the middle, and the fight between officials will eventually be carried out by the emperor. As long as the emperor can value it, what if there is an enemy in the court?
