When Ouyang Xiu left Beijing City, it was very simple, he only brought a small scholar with him, and he had nothing but the emperor's honor. But there were a lot of people who came to see him off, one was Ouyang Xiu's good reputation, and the other was because his trip was to promote the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and the glory was incomparable.

Moreover, Ouyang Xiu's interpersonal relationship in the court is very good, even if he opposes Song Qi's promotion of Taixue style and literary style, it is all in a tactful way, which makes people can't help but admire and be moved by his way of dealing with people.

The Great Song Dynasty conducted a contest between the plain style of writing and the Taixue style, and with the support of Zhao Zhenli's anti-public opinion, Ouyang Xiu's plain style of writing was respected and developed, and the imperial examination system was changing to another state, that is, practical learning is good learning.

This is a rare change, arithmetic, Gewuxue, and even the shooting of the six arts of the gentleman has been added to it, Zhao Zhen feels that even a scholar must have a good body, otherwise even if he is only a high eight buckets, he will hang up after being an official for a year, wouldn't the loss to the Great Song Dynasty be greater?

Ouyang Xiu left, when he left, he was extremely chic, the Wuwei cavalry given by Zhao Zhen was wearing gorgeous armor, holding a terrifying cavalry spear, and an iron shield behind his back, giving people an incomparably fierce feeling, indeed, this is a cavalry belonging to the royal family, Zhao Zhen deliberately changed his own big horse into a real combat army.

It is also a strong force under the direct command of the emperor, not weaker than the pro-guard division that made the Western Xia Liao Dynasty frightened, in Zhao Zhen's view, the army equipped with a lot of money should be the strongest, and only the most useless people are worthy of being used as honor guards.

So he was changed by Zhao Zhen to a guard......

And their ceremonial weapons were all replaced with the most advanced ones, and the original "garbage" that was not useful and inlaid with gold and silver was all shelved and replaced with sharp horizontal swords, powerful crossbow arrows, long riding spears, and tough horse lances.

Even so, the price of the new equipment is not as high as the original price. Zhao Zhen heard that he sighed at the flashiness of the honor guard. By the way, these guards were named to ride the halo book to show the difference, after all, sometimes they also have to play the role of a big driver.

The elite squad of hundreds of people is gorgeous and abnormal, this is the honor given to him by the emperor, and it is also the honor guard on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu naturally will not object, but his clothes and chic have become a significant inverse ratio, which sets off his chic even more.

Countless people looked at him enviously, just this kind of chic indifference is incomparable to ordinary people, if someone else gets this errand, they can't leave with a grand ceremony? But because of his appearance, Zhao Zhen admired it very much, this person has a unique personality charm, and even Zhao Zhen, the emperor, couldn't help but want to make friends with Ouyang Xiu when he summoned him......

Zhao Zhen, who was standing on the city tower, nodded with satisfaction, but Sancai on the side said: "The official family has given him such a high honor, but he is idle!" ”

"Ridiculous, Ouyang Xiu's backbone is probably harder than anyone else's, only to learn a sharp edge, forge ahead is rarely matched, I degraded him to be the governor of Chuzhou in order to polish his sharpness, I didn't expect him to comprehend so quickly, just looking at his governance of Chuzhou can be seen.

The governor of a state should have worked hard, but he still maintained a relaxed and lazy attitude, and was "lenient and simple" in government, making it easy for himself and the people. But it is under such a ruling policy that Chuzhou is governed in an orderly manner, if you don't understand my deep meaning, why is this so? ”

Sancai looked at Ouyang Xiu in surprise: "I didn't expect him to be a great talent!" It's just that the imperial examination is a second-class jinshi and the first ...... Isn't it that the edge is too exposed, and the examiners want to frustrate its spirit and promote its success? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and left, Yan Shu's praise for him was quite high, Zhao Zhen did it deliberately, but Wang Gongchen, who participated in the imperial examination with him, was not the champion, no way, Ouyang Xiu had already won the third yuan...... But the interesting thing is that Wang Gongchen and Ouyang Xiu are both friends and brothers-in-law, and they can be regarded as fat and water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders......

Ouyang Xiu is not only outstanding in talent and learning, but also has a unique vision in political affairs, and advocates cannibalization of Western Xia and gradually invades it.

This coincides with Zhao Zhen's grand strategy, Zhao Zhen once took the school test for him alone, and the handling of political affairs and the promotion of juniors all satisfied Zhao Zhen and even shocked him.

Ouyang Xiu went up to the city and asked to separate the time for official ships and civilian ships to enter the city, and the official ships rarely entered the city at night for urgent business, and the civilian ships mostly entered the city during the day for the purpose of supplying the city of Beijing. After Zhao Zhen adopted it, the transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was rarely blocked.

This is a simple method, but no one mentions it, either because it is unexpected, or because the matter is too small, or more likely because most of the official ships are the family members of the official eunuchs, and the privileged class is used to this, but Ouyang Xiu's practice of breaking the privilege and facilitating the people has been valued by Zhao Zhen.

This promotion of him to the governor of political affairs is largely for this reason, and once this "hard bone" of the Great Song Dynasty can promote the national prestige when he goes to Western Xia, Zhao Zhen can pave the way for his worship, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, Ouyang Xiu has the talent of the prime minister, and is the ideal successor of Pang.

No one knows the importance of the prime minister of a country better than Zhao Zhen, the ruler of any era needs a competent deputy, the prime minister is the emperor's deputy, to help him deal with cumbersome political affairs, even if the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely suspicious and does not use the power of the prime minister, the rules he set are abandoned by his descendants after his death.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to abolish the prime minister, the world is big, there are so many things, and the tired emperor can't deal with it, Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical representative, 30 years of dealing with political affairs and finally passed away with sorrow, Zhao Zhen doesn't want to be like this for himself or his children and grandchildren.

Correspondingly, choosing an excellent Zai is more important than anything else, he is a necessary candidate to govern the country, the good is good, the bad is defeated, and the principle is unshakable.

This is also an important reason why Zhao Zhen wants to cultivate talents, only the courtiers of the court are excellent, the country can be excellent, and only the prime minister is diligent and virtuous, and the country's government affairs will be honest and fair.

With the disappearance of the mission, Zhao Zhen looked back at Beijing City, the magnificent and majestic Beijing field came into view, Zhao Zhen nodded secretly, yes, he was good in the Great Song Dynasty, at this time the melodious bell rang from the palace, and gradually all the temples in the entire Beijing City echoed one after another, and the bell echoed throughout the Beijing City.

Sancai stepped forward excitedly and said, "Official, ...... The soccer game is on! Today happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to go? ”

"Go! Why not? Zhao Zhen replied without thinking and glanced at Sancai at the same time: "Why are you so excited?" It can't be a bet on me, right? ”

Sancai smiled and said: "This is a handicap opened by the official, and the slave naturally wants to support ......"

Zhao Zhen scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't have any dividends, and all the money will be credited to the three divisions!" Vault ...... It's just three out of ten......"
