Zhao Qingqing stroked his palm and smiled after hearing this: "He Yingying said it well!"

Zhao Qingqing stood up after laughing, walked out of the room slowly, leaned on the railing on the third floor and glanced down casually.

Downstairs, the shopkeeper was about to lead Fan Liangbi and his party to the box on the second floor, Wei Jiting looked at the lobby on the first floor, the storyteller is not there today, there are some scholars in the teahouse, although there are many people, they are not noisy, only occasionally someone fights for whose poem is good and whose article is good.

"I think it's pretty good here, what does Brother Fan think?"

Fan Liangbi bowed, "Just sit here." ”

The shopkeeper respectfully led them to the table in the middle of the hall.

Zhao Qingqing saw them sit down, so he walked back slowly, closed the south window facing the street, and opened the north window facing the teahouse, so that the noise of the market disappeared, and all kinds of sounds in the teahouse entered his ears.

Zhao Qingqing beckoned, "Sit down, let's listen to what this group of scholars have to say." ”

He Linwan got up again and sat with Zhao Qingqing next to the chess table under the north window.

The scholars downstairs should have recognized Fan Liangbi and the others, and many of them took the initiative to come over to say hello, and when they heard that they were going to talk about literature and politics here today, they couldn't help but surround them.

After the north window was opened, He Linwan and Zhao Qingqing could clearly hear the sound of talking downstairs where they were sitting.

At first, Fan Liangbi did not speak, but several scholars who came with him were very active, discussing what they had recently gained in the book, and the conversation inevitably deviated to some recent policies of the court.

The atmosphere of the world is different from that of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Qing talk of "not talking about state affairs, not talking about the people's livelihood" is not prevalent. Some high-ranking officials will also look for staff in the teahouse tavern, and for those scholars who cannot pass the imperial examination and have their own political ambitions, it is also a good way out to be a guest for high-ranking officials.

Talking about the affairs of the court inevitably involves the issue of standing in line. After Fan Ge Lao returned to the court, the officials of the Fan faction and the Mu faction had several disputes in the court because of political disagreements, although they were finally suppressed by Emperor Tiancheng, but the contradictions between the two factions have been around for a long time and are almost irreconcilable.

The dispute between the Fan faction and the Mu faction is also a dispute between the conservative faction and the reformers.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Li Junyi only knew how to fight the world, but did not know how to govern the world, so he went to invite Yang Mengzheng, a famous Confucian from a family, to join the court as an assistant. In order to end the war and stabilize the situation of the court, some former dynasty scholars led by the Yang family offered a lot of good policies for governing the country, so some political measures of the Great Zhou Dynasty were in the same vein as the previous dynasty.

A few decades later, some families led by the Mu family, which gradually flourished after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, believed that the policies of the previous dynasty were many drawbacks, and proposed a series of reform measures.

The national policy at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou State has continued to this day, and there are indeed some things that need to be modified, but the actions of the Mu family and other families to overthrow the old government are not all for the so-called righteousness of the world, in fact, to put it bluntly, they just want to re-divide the interests with the old family.

In this regard, Fan Yang and other big families naturally stood on the opposite side, so the contradiction between the conservative school and the reformist faction was formed.

However, Herin remembers that not all of the families were completely negative about the new policy at first, and that her grandfather and uncle were actually inclined to selectively repeal some of the old laws. It was only later that the two factions formed more and more ties because of their different political views, and the contradictions became bigger and bigger, and gradually it became a life-and-death situation.

However, the Mujia seemed to have won this political struggle, but the new policy they advocated could not be implemented smoothly for various reasons. Now that Fan Ge Lao has returned to the court, the situation has become unclear again.

The scholars who came with Fan Liangbi today were all inclined to the Fan family, and two talented and quick-thinking scholars made political articles on the spot to satirize some of the policies advocated by the Mu family, but instead of achieving results in the past few years, they wasted national strength.

Because these two scholars had good literary skills, the article was read out in a low tone, which attracted a cheer from the people present.

Although the two scholars were a little complacent, they still said modestly: "Where can I wait for a literary talent worthy of Brother Fan?"

Fan Liangbi had several articles circulating in the capital before, but they were all about Jingyi, and no one had seen his political essays, so they asked him to write on the spot and express his political opinions.

When Zhao Qingqing heard this, he covered his lips and smiled, and said to He Linwan: "It seems that this Fan Gongzi is famous today." Speaking of which, I began to circulate the articles and poems written by Fan Gongzi in this teahouse a few days ago, these scholars are really interesting, and they also know that they must first make a momentum for themselves before becoming famous, I think this trick is learned from those Oiran in the flower building. ”

He Linwan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, thinking about it carefully, it was really similar to the tricks of those flower girls when they competed for the Oiran.

In addition, Zhao Qingqing is right, Fan Liangbi is indeed here to make a name for himself today.

Now everyone thinks that the Fan family is not as good as before, and the Fan family suddenly counterattacked after being silent for a long time.

Fan Ge Lao released the news that he was going to give lectures at the academy, which attracted students from all over the world to flock to Beijing, and the scholars in the capital were also unprecedentedly active.

The purpose of the Fan family is nothing more than to let the world see the influence of the Fan family among scholars and students, which is also the biggest reliance of the Fan family.

On the other side, Fan Ge Lao no longer pressed the children in the family to come out. Fan Liangbi should participate in the imperial examination next year, and making a name for himself among scholars now will undoubtedly increase his political leverage and lay the foundation for him to enter the imperial examination in advance in the future.

The Fan family's return to Beijing this time is menacing, and they must have been planning for a long time.

Downstairs, in the midst of everyone's voices, Fan Liangbi agreed to compose on the spot.

A scholar has already prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Fan Liangbi thought about it and started to write an article, I don't know if he is quick to think or has already finished the draft, and the pen is like a god, but the article is done in an instant, it can be said that it is done in one go, and there is almost no pause in the middle.

As soon as he stopped writing, someone stepped forward to take the written article and read it in public.

"Those who are based on the country are also the people. Emphasize the power of the people, enrich the livelihood of the people, cherish the talents of the people, and serve the government. In the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties......"

He Linwan listened quietly.

In all fairness, Fan Liangbi's political essay is extremely well written, with clear arguments, reasoned evidence, and good use of haiku and pun sentences, which reads with ups and downs, sonorous and powerful, and has a momentum of its own.
