Fan Zhongyan, who was still pondering, was also pulled back to reality by Lu Zifei's voice, and when he saw Han Qi who came to him, he said, "Is there anything wrong with Zhigui coming to me?" ”

Han Qi forced a smile, the battle of Haoshuichuan may become a stain on his life, a good name of a literati, a good reputation can help him go further in his career, and the remedies after the defeat of the war must be done "The envoy of Western Xia sent a letter of state, I want to ask Brother Xiwen for your meaning." ”

Hearing that Xixia sent it, Fan Zhongyan was about to pull Han Qi over to take a look, but Han Qi stood still and didn't move, "The biggest gain today is this son's words, Brother Xiwen, don't worry, I still have some questions I want to ask this son." ”

Lu Zifei is in a hurry, who will I find to be the master when you leave, he walked to Fan Zhongyan without saying a word, knelt down, lowered his head and did not speak, the eyes of the people around him were smiling, they also wanted to know how to deal with this iron-clad, righteous and awe-inspiring Fan Gong What to do with this young man who was as thick-skinned as the city wall, this is the collision of two extreme people in thought and behavior.

Han Qi didn't know what was wrong, looked at Fan Zhongyan and asked, "Brother Xiwen, what's going on" Looking at Lu Zifei who was kneeling on the ground and didn't speak, Fan Zhongyan was also two big heads, he didn't expect this young man to kneel down directly in public.

The only one present who could help Lao Fan explain was Pang Ji, and the others were not qualified, "This kid is a bit similar to Di Hancheng's experience, but he has the title of Xiucai, today Brother Xiwen saw this different way of camping and wanted to know about it, but this young man wanted to worship Brother Xiwen as a teacher, and you heard the next thing." ”

Han Qi knew Fan Zhongyan's difficulties, but he couldn't talk too much, it was better for him to make a decision on this kind of thing, this young man was also an insightful person, it depended on how Xiwen chose.

Fan Zhongyan, who Han Qi can think of, can also think of it, from the beginning of his curiosity to the relationship between Song and Xia, although he is only a teenager, his views are very unique, and some of his ideas coincide, what he can't accept is that he is too powerful, whether to accept or not, he is also old, and he has never realized the dream in his heart, and the disciple is equivalent to a successor! Don't charge? The previous words have been put away, receiving? There are still doubts in my mind.

Lu Zifei also felt that his behavior was too rash, if Fan Gong didn't accept himself today, it would be a big trouble, the news between literati is very fast, a person with a noble character is unwilling to accept you as an apprentice, what will others think in their hearts, Fan Xiwen will not accept you, I will accept you, does it mean that I am not as good as Fan Xiwen, at that time I only have one way to go, learn Zhang Yuan, think of Guo Zun and General Wang Qi who died in front of them, their death looks stupid, but their integrity, their hearts, It's all for the country and the people behind him, to help the alien race trample on China, he is unwilling in his heart, in the twenty-first century, he is also a nationalist, he thinks that the best race in the world is the Han nationality, they can cover the advantages of any race, diligence, wisdom, mercy, benevolence and filial piety, he believes that he can be rich and noble for a lifetime regardless of whether he is in Xia or Liao, but is that what he wants? He stood up and patted the dust on his knees, and said to Fan Zhongyan, "Fan Gong, forgive me, the kid was reckless today, after going back this time, the student will study hard, and he will go to see Mr. again in the future." ”

Pang Ji was anxious when he heard this, this is the initiative to give up, this young man is obviously also an arrogant person, hundreds of people in the camp listen to him, proving that he has a reason to convince these people, he is really afraid of the second Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is not a little worse than this young man, Zhang Yuan is just a simple scholar, he is different, the army, Tuntian, business, everything, especially in the idea of the economy, he is ashamed of himself, if such a person makes a choice with Zhang Yuan, then the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is devastating, Scholars are unsatisfactory, so they go to other countries, Zhang Yuan has made a bad start, some people keep up with Zhang Yuan's footsteps, and their ability is stronger than Zhang Yuan, what do the rest of the students think of the Great Song Dynasty, will other countries also come to the Great Song Dynasty to poach people like this, the talents of the Great Song Dynasty have gone to other countries, let the country attack the Great Song Dynasty, and then the Great Song Dynasty will really be over.

Lu Zi has to really know Pang Ji's thoughts, he will definitely give him a thumbs up, worthy of being a famous face in the Renzong period, thinking farther than others, he himself or take a look at it again, Fan Gong does not accept him, then he will go home and study hard, and have a good trip, the good thing about the Great Song Dynasty is that the age limit for the imperial examination is not large, after enjoying the magnificent mountains and rivers, he will take the top prize in Donghuamen, marry a wife in two rooms, everything is perfect, and he does not necessarily have to worship Fan Gong as a teacher, it is the greatest honor to see it.

Han Qi thinks that Lu Zifei is playing the trick of retreating and advancing, leaving the problem to Xiwen, which is similar to moral kidnapping, he thinks wrong, in Lu Zifei's heart, Zhao Zhen, as an emperor who has played the power of the feudal dynasty, may be able to change some fate, but the right to decide is still the one who is high, and he also underestimated the ancients, the influence of Confucian thought on them for thousands of years is too profound, the gentleman only recognizes the gentleman, and there must be no moral flaws, which Fan Zhongyan is not exempt from vulgarity, Lu Zifei was too eager for quick success, which made Lao Fan feel that his purpose was too strong.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, Lao Fan was worried, Pang Ji and Han Qi wanted Fan Zhongyan to accept this disciple, but the emperor was not in a hurry, and it was useless for the eunuch to be in a hurry! The parties didn't speak, what was the use of the two of them, and the little lieutenant next to him was also a discerning one, so he said to Lao Fan, "My lord, didn't Xixia have a national letter sent over?" You go back and deal with it first, the state affairs first, and then talk about this matter after the follow-up matters are dealt with. ”

Those who can stand here are the elites of the Great Song Dynasty, the country's decision-makers, they have experienced countless ups and downs, when they came out of this small tent today, everyone's faces were not good-looking, this matter Fan Gong broke his trust, Pang Ji was the most unwilling person, he wanted to accept him as a young man, this can not be said today, for a proud person, today you open your mouth to say to him, he will think that you are giving him charity, which will be counterproductive, and wait for a while to bring it up, and everyone can accept it on face.

The insider's recollection of today's picture in later generations is that 'Fan Gong made a decision today that he regretted his life, otherwise both the master and apprentice would become saints and leave a beautiful story for the ages. ’

"There is nothing that can't be a disciple of Fan Xianggong, there are many Confucians in Kaifeng City who are better educated than Fan Xianggong, Ouyang Gong, Shao Yong, Yan Xianggong, with your talent, it is not so difficult to worship them as teachers, don't feel too uncomfortable." After the big man left, Wang Chao comforted Lu Zifei.

Lu Zifei feels okay, but it's a pity, I wanted to use Lao Fan's fame, but now it seems that it can't be done, Lu still has to look forward, "Uncle Wang, I'm fine, you tell General Zhang Qi, I'll go to his residence in the evening, I have something to say to him." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to him in a while, do you want to go out for a walk, hold on for a few more days and we'll go home." Wang Chao is still afraid that Lu Zifei will be hit, and he will not be able to think about it, because smart people like to drill the horns of the bull.

"Brother Xiwen, what's wrong with you today, isn't that young man worthy of your acceptance as a disciple?" In the early stage of his political career, the person who helped him the most was Fan Zhongyan, who had always taken good care of his outstanding juniors, and vigorously promoted Fan Gong's performance today to the children of the Han family.

Fan Zhongyan's expression was difficult to describe, a little tangled, and a little confused, and said to Pang Ji and Han Qi, "Mellow (Pang Ji's character), Zhigui (Han Qi's character) have you found it, the special temperament of that young man is something that none of us have, what are we doing at this age, reading hard, for the title of the gold list, the head is hanging beams, taper thorns, and talking about national affairs, but you know that the reality is different from the ideals of your student days, how many people's interests need to be involved in solving a national affair, and how many people's nerves need to be touched. It was so simple in his mouth, not much different from eating and drinking, and I thought no one could surpass his answers to the few questions we asked, as if he was ready for us to ask questions. ”

Pang Ji still defended first, "In ancient times, there were twelve Ganluo as the phases, and there were fewer prodigies in the Great Song Dynasty?" Your eldest son can read books at the age of ten, Yan Xianggong is fourteen years old and Jinshi and first, that young man is not a little worse than the few people I said, what is there to be surprised, I am optimistic about him, you think too much. ”

Fan Zhongyan said, "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about his inner temperament, he looks at us like he's superior, that's what he means, and he finally stood up and gave me the stairs down, didn't you think of anything?" As long as others are in Da Song, are you still afraid that you won't have a chance? Call the envoys of Western Xia in, see what Li Yuanhao wants to do first, and don't forget our duties. "The typical workaholic, changing state in an instant.

When the Xixia envoy came in, he walked with arrogance, and his expression was even more arrogant, it seemed that he didn't take Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi seriously at all, Fan Zhongyan also knew the current situation, as a Confucian disciple, he was still very polite to ask the envoy to sit down, and picked up this super thick "national letter" There are about more than 20 pages in one page, Fan Zhongyan quickly browsed it, and the content can be described in four words, "the words are slow", the tone in the book is arrogant to the point of no return, the most important thing is that this national letter is not written in the name of Li Yuanhao, It's Wild Glory Renei, who is he? Wu Ning Ling (Premier of the State Council) of the Western Xia Kingdom, Fan Zhongyan handed the letter to Han Qi next to him without reading it, Han Qi took the letter without saying a word, he finished reading it, and the bulging green tendons in his hands could see his current state, the edge of the explosion, if there was a little spark now, then the atomic bomb would explode.

"What does Brother Xiwen think?"
