Chapter 63 Warm as jade
On Ouyang Xiu's mansion, the towers are wide and wide. When the spring breeze passes, the flowers and rain are rising, and the flutes are fragrant.
A beautiful and graceful maid leaned against the cold jade table, and played Go with Chai Lin, who was scratching his head on the opposite side.
However, Fang Zhongyong was quietly led by Ouyang Xiu from the beautiful spring scenery to the bamboo forest on the side, and he talked about things with a serious look on his face.
"Recently, the people under Lu Yijian are checking about you and Chai Lin, and our people have discovered it." Ouyang Xiu looked at the sparse bamboo next to him, and arranged three wine glasses and a self-pouring pot on the stone table, and said softly:
"No matter how Chai Lin passed the imperial examination, they could not find out any evidence, and Chai Lin had resigned again, so it must be not very important. But in the future, you must be careful in your actions."
Fang Zhongyong was a little embarrassed and hesitated a little before replying: "Yes. But, for some reason, the dignified Prime Minister Lord Lü suddenly set his sights on this little character?"
Ouyang Xiu smiled, picked up the self-pouring pot at hand and poured a glass of wine, and drank it himself, saying, "Today, I found a friend to explain the situation to you. No hurry, after the flute is blown, he will come."
Well, it’s such a romantic way of playing, and it also has its own music effect? Who? Fang Zhongyong guessed Ouyang Xiu’s youthful friends in a puzzled way, but he didn’t expect it.
Finally, after much anticipation, the tall and thin young man who came came, looked like Ouyang Xiu, and was in his thirties, wearing a homely chorizo silk dress, wearing a jade belt, and soap boots under his feet, looking very neat.
"Come on, let me introduce it. This is Master Fu Bi," Ouyang Xiu stood up and stood between Fang Zhongyong and Fu Bi, first facing Fu Bi, and then facing Fang Zhongyong:
"This is Fang Zhongyong. Last year's provincial examination, Jie Yuanlang from Jiangnan West Road, has now gone to the Imperial Academy to report."
"Yes." Fang Zhongyong bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Fu Bifu's current dispatch is in Zhijianyuan, who is the one who supervises all officials. He knows the tricks of Lu Yijian and those who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are
Ouyang Xiu said, picking up the wine pot and giving the silver cup in front of the three of them all the wine.
Fu Bi hesitated a little, as if he didn't like drinking, but he did not refuse.
He looked at Fang Zhongyong and saw that the boy was calm and generous, with a handsome appearance, and was completely different from the clown behind those comic scripts. He also heard that he was the talented Jiangnan West Road, who was fighting hard, and his first impression was suddenly filled with favorable values.
So he was very polite and concerned, explaining some of Lu Yijian's recent actions to Fang Zhongyong one by one.
"Lu Yijian's brother-in-law is the general manager of the official website of the Printing and Printing Company. Throughout the year, any playbooks that alluded to Lu Yijian's party were originally suppressed and not printed.
Now, your Yuewen Study Chai was born out of nowhere, robbed their business, and produced a lot of things they didn't want to appear, alluding to their playbooks, so he had this idea."
After Fu Bi talked about the matter, he began to talk about the causes and consequences of the matter and how to discover it specifically.
Fang Zhongyong always listened with a respectful look on his face, neither arrogant nor impatient. In the face of such a big thing, he could not see any turbulence on his face.
The gentle and gentleman's unique demeanor, which was as gentle as jade, seemed to be engraved in his bones on this young fifteen-year-old boy. This made Fu Bi and Ouyang Xiu feel a little more favorable to him.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Fang Zhongyong was looking back at the most gossipy part in Fu Bi's story.
Fu Bi is undoubtedly a famous minister all over the world, but compared with his father-in-law, an old prodigy, who was also the master of the world, his name is much smaller in the history of literature and the cognition of later people.
There is no way, the literary language of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, so literary celebrities were always more awesome than historical celebrities.
Yan Shu is a man who loves talent very much, but is very conservative. Now he presides over the Hanlin Academy and has a lot of talents under his command. Because he loves talent, he naturally caught the son-in-law Fu Bi, a talented son-in-law, at a glance when he followed the trend.
However, the father-in-law and son-in-law love each other for life, and they are a contestant who never can't pee in a pot of political views.
Fu Bi's life was a New Deal reformist faction in the first forty years. Like Ouyang Xiu, he was also a small fan of Fan Zhongyan.
The son-in-law of the reformist party naturally doesn't like the conservative father-in-law, and the conservative father-in-law is also not a human being because of such a reformist son-in-law.
"You don't have to worry," Fu Bi said those words, and suddenly seemed to comfort Fang Zhongyong, and smiled gently:
"Before leaving, Mr. Fan Zhongyan and Mr. Fan advised Mr. Wang Zeng and me to take good care of you. Mr. Wang said that he had seen your strategy for governing the river and understood very well why Mr. Fan attached so much importance to you."
"What Fu Bi said is, I thought so too. Zhongyong, there is Wang Zeng and Wang Gong in the clerk group; among the censors, there is Fu Bi and Fu; among the Hanlin Academy, there is Ouyang Xiu.
So, no matter what happens to those under Lu Yijian, as long as you don’t make any mistakes again. You are ready for the exam and get the top scorer. This will make it worthwhile to be optimistic about you so much."
The visitor didn't drink it, but Ouyang Xiu drank a few cups by himself, saying these serious words while drinking. If this happened to others, it would be quite funny, but it was rare for him, Ouyang Xiu, and there was no sense of incongruity.
However, in Fang Zhongyong's thinking, based on the current situation analysis, in fact, Ouyang Xiu passed by a little optimistic.
Being targeted by Lu Yijian is indeed a tricky thing in itself.
During the Renzong Dynasty, Lu Yijian was the best master in politics. Whether it was Empress Dowager Liu E in power or Zhao Zhen in power, whether it was Fan Zhongyan coming to power or stepping down, whether it was Song Xia's defeat or the court's blood exchange,
During his lifetime, Lu Yijian always stood firm. His only two stops were just small episodes, but he returned to his posts a year or two later.
If such a person finds that Chai Lin is the gunman who is Fang Zhongyong, he will pull Chai Lin out and take the exam again in minutes. With Chai Lin's true form revealed, he will follow the clues and kill Fang Zhongyong again, so that he will never be able to get fame and fortune in the exam, which is not something that Lu Yijian can't do.
This situation is a very difficult task for any student preparing for the exam.
However, Fang Zhongyong was not very nervous.
That's because, if he remembers correctly, then in this year, just a few months after Fan Zhongyan left, the old-fashioned prime minister Wang Zeng, who had been tolerant and self-supporting, suddenly broke out and was openly arguing with Lu Yijian in the Political Affairs Hall, which triggered a collective quarrel between the prime minister and the chief executive team.
The result was that the entire priest-in-law team collectively dismissed, and the priest-in-law team, which was more foolish and greedy than the current priest-in-law team, came to power.
The imperial examination that year turned into a farce that made the emperor angry because of interpersonal nepotism. In the end, all the Jinshi who had a relationship with the people in the "Old People's Group" priest team were abolished.
Therefore, in Fu Bi and Ouyang Xiu's view, Fang Zhongyong surpassed his age indifferent nature and gentleman sentiment, in fact, was just because he understood that in history, Lu Yijian's second time was close to him.
