Wang Kui saw that Wang Anshi didn't seem to have any impression of him when he saw him. He couldn't help but wonder how the other party didn't recognize him if he hadn't defended him many times during the palace examination.
Wang Kui thought that he would not recognize the wrong person, but when he took a closer look, although the other person had a dirty face and dirty robes, his eyes were very bright. Who else could he be if he wasn't Wang Anshi?
Wang Kui announced his name again, and the other party seemed to remember: "It turns out to be Junmin, what's the matter? I want to talk on the thoroughfare here."
Wang Kui said with sincerity: "Wang She is a generous person. This time I passed the pavilion examination without my name. I don't know if it is wrong. I want to seek justice."
Wang Anshi said: "If you pass the exam, you will be ranked first, and if you fail, you will be a blue streak. What's wrong with that?"
Wang Kui said: "I want to know the reason and analyze it. Su Zizhan has been admitted to the third class. I will not be unable to even be admitted to the first class."
Wang Anshi said: "I understand, you should go to Mr. Fu's house to ask about this matter. You should not ask me here."
Wang Kui seemed to have thought of something, so he said: "What Wang Sheren means is that Su Zhang and Su Zhang were recommended by Xianggong Han, so the examiners ranked them as third class, and I was not recommended because I was not recommended by Xianggong Han.
Enter and wait.”
Wang Anshi looked at Wang Kui again and said after a while: "You'd better go to Mr. Fu's house and ask!"
After that, Wang Anshi was about to leave, but Wang Kui immediately caught up and said, "Ms. Fu is in Xijing now. No one can help me here except you. I have thanked you for your kindness in protecting me several times. Wang will always remember it in my heart."
In the future, there will definitely be a back-and-forth between dogs and horses."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "In the palace examination, I uphold the public spirit and promote talents for the country. How can I have the slightest intention of granting and receiving the grace of an official in private? You don't need to come to find me."
Wang Kui's heart skipped a beat. He had heard in the palace that Wang Anshi had done a lot for himself, had a huge quarrel with Yang Tian, and even offended his future in-law Zhang Yue. How could he be so cold and callous now?
Wang Kui knew that the other party was unwilling to help him, but he still refused to give up and almost begged: "Wang Sheren, there have been some rumors outside, but they are all fabricated by others. Wang has a clear conscience in the world, please ask Wang
For the sake of Mr. Fu, please help me again."
Wang Anshi was startled and asked: "Junmin, didn't Mr. Fu tell you that your engagement with the rich family has been cancelled?"
Wang Kui was stunned when he heard this.
“Wang Sheren was joking. How could this happen? Why didn’t I hear about it? If it were true, why would Mr. Fu still recommend me to study at the University of Science and Technology?” Wang Kuiqiang said with a smile.
Wang Anshi said impatiently: "I don't know about this either, but I won't lie to you. Why don't you go ask Feng Xueshi first? I'm busy with things."
After saying this, Wang Anshi walked away, leaving behind a devastated Wang Kui.
“How could this happen?”
Wang Kui shook his head and muttered to himself. Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
“Please give way to your honorable master, and don’t stand in the way of your honorable master.”
The imperial guards in front of the Sheren Courtyard spoke out.
Wang Kui nodded and walked down the street like a zombie.
I don't know how long, Wang Kui suddenly stopped and looked at the people on the street with empty eyes, and suddenly laughed in the sky.
"Fu Bi, you betrayed me by not only canceling the engagement but also asking me to take exams. Aren't you going to become the laughing stock of everyone? Su'e, you are so ruthless. You didn't let me know anything. You hid it from me and deceived me.
.”
"Leave me behind, betray me, you see that I have lost power, are you all here to add insult to injury?"
“I had known that this world was full of people who were in trouble. How could you have thought so highly of me?”
After saying this, Wang Kui laughed like a maniac, and then walked aimlessly on the street as if he was drunk. Finally, the sole of his foot slipped and he fell into the mud beside the road. His clothes were all dirty.
However, Wang Kui didn't notice it at all and was leaning against the wall, crying and laughing at the same time.
When pedestrians on the roadside saw Wang Kui like this, they all avoided him and pointed at him.
“Dad, is this person crazy?”
“Listen to what he is shouting.”
“Who is the Guiying he is talking about?”
"It seems that he is worried about his sweetheart and is hurt by love. No wonder he is so depressed. He looks like a scholar. In other words, he is also an infatuated person."
“How can a good scholar be so polite and polite, but it’s also very pitiful to see.”
But it is said that Zhang Yue entered the imperial examination with the third rank in the pavilion examination. Although this is not the last rank, it means that there is at least a fifth rank in the imperial examination.
After learning about his rank, the first thing Zhang Yue did was to go to Ouyang Xiu's house to thank him for the recommendation.
After Zhang Yue arrived at Ouyang Xiu's house, Ouyang Xiu had not yet left the office. He sat and chatted with Ouyang Fa, Ouyang Fei, and Ouyang Xiu's youngest son Ouyang Bian.
Anyway, Ouyang Fa was happier than he was when he knew that Zhang Yue had passed the imperial examination. His wife was also happy and specially brought jasmine tea to Zhang Yue.
The refreshing aroma filled the tip of my nose, and I suddenly felt that the heat had faded away, leaving only a room like spring.
Zhang Yue recalled that when he met Wu Anshi by chance while looking for jasmine tea, he almost missed the marriage due to a temporary conflict of words, and almost failed to live up to the beauty's good intentions.
Now that times have changed, I have a different feeling if I think about it carefully.
Ouyang Xiu returned home soon.
As soon as he saw Zhang Yue, he smiled and said: "Great Zhang San, do you know that now the two governments and the two systems are arguing endlessly because of you?"
Zhang Yue smiled and thought to himself, didn't you insist on calling me back for the exam and asking me to pretend to be so cool?
Zhang Yue said on his face: "I must be favored by my uncle, otherwise my nephew would not be able to win this opportunity."
Ouyang Xiu chuckled and said: "It is indeed a grand event in ancient and modern times for two leaders to compete in the world. As for the third-level examination, even I didn't dare to think about it when I recommended you. Now after the two governments and two systems have discussed, I think you and your son will be tested in the imperial examination."
Zhan can only enter the third class by himself, now you need to earn more face for me."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that it would be too sensational to have two third-class candidates in the Imperial Examination. Therefore, one of them would definitely be eliminated in the final royal examination. Then only one of himself and Su Shi would be able to enter the third-class.
Ouyang Fa chuckled and said: "A third-class student is already a golden person, let alone two people. Duzhi lets go and take the exam. Dad is in the palm of his hand with you and Zizhan. It's hard to say which one, but I only hope that you will enter the third class."
"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue and Ouyang Fa looked at each other and smiled.
Ouyang Xiu smiled and said to Ouyang: "You also arranged for daddy."
At this point, Ouyang Fa asked his two younger brothers to go back to the room first, and then said: "Actually, I heard that two third-class people are not necessarily impossible. I heard that Wang Sheren strongly opposed this theory. It's not that Xianggong Han and dad are unwilling to fight hard."
Zhang Yuexin thought, "Wang Anshi, you are so good, you do it again and again, and again and again.
Ouyang Xiudao: "Hey, how did Fa'er's words spread like this? Wang Jiefu didn't say this. Don't put everything on his head. As human beings, one is one, and two is two."
Ouyang Fa first learned Ouyang Xiu's lesson, and then said: "Dad, if it weren't for your repeated recommendations back then, Wang Jiefu wouldn't be where he is today. Now..."
Ouyang Xiudao: "It's not Jiefu's fault, it's me. I didn't help him speak in front of Mr. Han, and asked him to compromise. How can he accept this because he would rather be straight than bend?"
Ouyang Fa understood that Wang Anshi and Han Qi were now at odds with each other. As a good friend of the two, his father should try to reconcile the two. But his father told Wang Anshi to take a step back, so he said that he could not stand up to Wang Anshi.
It is now a critical time for Han Qi to assume the post of Prime Minister Zhaowen. Han Qi also promised that if he becomes Prime Minister Zhaowen, he will promote his father to the position of political advisor. At this stage, his father cannot have the slightest disagreement with Han Qi under any circumstances.
at.
Not to mention speaking for Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi blatantly undermined the prime minister's face at a critical time when Han Qi was about to be promoted to prime minister Zhao Wen.
Li Shizhong, who initially proposed the idea of Guangnan West Road, impeached Xiao Zhu, the magistrate of the state. The imperial court placed Xiao Zhu in charge and demoted him to the deputy envoy of Taishan Tuanlian.
At that time, Wang Anshi wrote the words for demotion. The preface of the word "demotion" in Zhongshu was sent to Sherenyuan. Wang Anshi thought that there were a few words in the prefix that were inappropriate and asked for modification.
Zhongshu ignored Wang Anshi's request, and a few days later the imperial court issued an edict not to modify the text of the Renyuan.
Wang Anshi was so angry that he wrote a memorial to criticize the government, and asked all his colleagues in Sherenyuan to sign it.
Although no one was named, after Fu Bi passed away, Han Qi was the only prime minister, so there is no need to guess who he was scolding.
Wang Anshi's memorial said that "he made laws based on the imperial edict and did whatever he wanted without choosing what was right." This was a very severe criticism, and every sentence was directed at Han Qi.
But Ouyang Fa believed that Wang Anshi was supported by his father no matter what, so he should not complain and should accept his father's mediation.
Zhang Yue didn't know why Ouyang Xiu refused to speak for Wang Anshi, but he did not interrupt. The fight between the bosses could not be explained clearly in a few words. It was not that everyone was directed at each other. It was possible that the gods were accidentally injured in the fight.
However, in the past, Ouyang Xiu and his son only talked about romance, poetry and articles with him. Now when they talk about official affairs, they obviously regard themselves as their own people. This is the most important thing.
Ouyang Fa said: "Dad, it's been said in the court that Wang Jiefu resigned from his post when he was revising the annotations on daily life, but now that he knows how to make imperial edicts, he still doesn't resign. This is the extreme hypocrisy of human nature."
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Bohe, it was Fu Xianggong who recommended the imperial edicts. Now I know that it was Han Xianggong who recommended the imperial edicts."
Before Ouyang Fa understood Zhang Yue's intention, Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "Du Zhizhen can be said to have seen things clearly. In fact, Jiefu and I once said that although the rich prime minister Ding You has not resigned, he will still return to the court in two years."
Mr. Han Xianggong’s move is like cutting off someone’s escape path.”
Ouyang Fa said: "But dad, if Mr. Fu doesn't join the Central Committee in the future, he can still serve as a privy envoy."
However, Ouyang Fa also said that this statement was too far-fetched and said: "I heard that Wang Jiefu was quite discordant when he was in the shogunate of Han Xianggong."
Ouyang Xiudao: "I have never heard Jiefu say this, but he once said that Xixia suffered repeated defeats that year, and it was hard for Han Xianggong to blame him, as his talent was too great for his big job."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, wasn’t the comment Wang Anshi gave Han Qi that had nothing but good looks?
How come you are similar to me?
Zhang Yue thought of this and felt a sense of connection with Han Qi.
Why do handsome people like us have to bear the pain of not being understood by the world.
Ouyang Xiu said worriedly: "I know Jiefu's temperament well, he will not give up so easily."
