Recognize color like water. A banquet was set up in the backyard of the state government, and the two of them were in a flail, and they couldn't help but feel a little drunk. In addition to talking about the past and the present, Chu Zhen listened to Zhang Fangping's resentment against Chu Luo the most, as well as his thoughts about Mrs. Hui, which made Chu Zhen suspicious for a while. This newly recognized uncle does he have a serious sister complex.

During this period, I also learned about the situation in Hangzhou in recent years from Chu Qian, and heard that Hangzhou had only passed a drought and famine year. Zhang Fangping frowned and lamented the suffering of the people, but unexpectedly, he praised Fan Zhongyan's implementation of the cash-for-work method, and felt that this was a great initiative.

"I think that Fan Xiwen is the most opposed to luxury in his life. Especially the cost of civil engineering, when a serious famine occurs in Hangzhou. It is surprising that he risked impeachment and advocated for the creation of works. But it makes sense. Zhang Square smiled: "Anyway, I don't have the courage, but I know the benefits of doing this." Out of all kinds of concerns, most of them are sighing and giving up, so I have to say a word of admiration for his actions. ”

Strange, how can the performance of people before and after be diametrically opposite, Chu Zhen was confused in his heart, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Uncle, since this is the case, then why do you still want it."

"Why do you want to fight against it in everything" Zhang Fangping said with a smile: "Presumably in your eyes, I, the new Zhizhou, must be narrow-minded." ”

"Nope.

Chu Zhi said against his will, even if he was not related, he resolutely did not dare to tell him directly. When you lie in the future, don't be like your mother, your eyes are flying, and it is easy for people to see the flaws. Zhang Fangping quietly reminded. Huai Nian smiled and said lightly: "If it were in other places, I would naturally not be like this, but when I came to Hangzhou, especially to take over Fan Xiwen's position." It's the best thing to do, do you know what it means? ”

It seems to vaguely understand, but it is still a little confused. Chu Zhen shook his head slightly: "I don't seem to understand." ”

"Very good, think about it again, Fan Xiwen is a humble person" Zhang Fangping said with a smile, slowly bowing. Satisfied in my heart, I was afraid of this, my nephew read the sages hard, but he read his brain in a daze, and now it seems that he obviously doesn't.

"Integrity, honesty, nobility, broad-mindedness, selflessness" Chu Zhen blurted out again, all of which are praises.

"It's so perfect, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a saint." Zhang Fangping smiled and suddenly sighed: "Such a perfect person, do you feel hard to listen to the errand under him?" ”

Thinking about it a little carefully, the pressure was so great, Chu Zhen honestly admitted: "A little." ”

"Even you are, so to speak. The city sergeant was even more miserable. Zhang Fangping said, with a look of affirmation.

Chu Zhen nodded slightly, and there was no need to ask Zhang Fangping how he came to this conclusion, with Fan Zhongyan's character, where was the official not like this.

"Sure enough." Zhang Fangping shook his head lightly: "After many years, Fan Xiwen still hasn't changed, when he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he was so unsentimental, and even more so when he was in power, he would never give up if he didn't offend people to death." ”

Chu Zhen understood a little: "What Uncle means is that you are not against Fan Gong out of sincerity. But it was for Hangzhou officials to see? ”

"Of course." Zhang Fangping smiled approvingly: "As long as it's not with Fan Xiwen all the way." And the amount of gas is narrow and revenge will be avenged, and they are not obedient to welcome them, so it will be easier for Zhizhou to be. ”

Once again, Zhang Fangping and Fan Zhongyan definitely do not have the same temperament, and their principles for being officials are completely different. One is to be an official for the sake of being an official, and the other is to be an official. is to be an official for the ideal, and the distinction between the superior and the inferior is judged, but it is certain that compared to Fan Zhongyan, Zhang Fangping's official work is indeed comfortable and comfortable.

So what about yourself, who do you agree with more? Chu asked himself. For a long time, but there was no answer, his conscience told him that he wanted to go down in history like Fan Zhongyan and let future generations admire, but reason was to make the opposite choice, and it was too tiring to take the world as his responsibility, so he didn't want to get involved.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhen laughed at himself, forget it. What kind of character is himself, just a small county, and a big event like saving the world is not yet the turn of Mao Mao.

Seeing Chu Qian's thoughtful appearance, Zhang Fangping chuckled and said, "What, what else can't you understand?" ”

"There is one point, since my uncle and Fan Gong have no personal grudges, and the Qingmiao Decree is also a good law, why abolish it." Chu Zhen took the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart.

"Haha, I thought you could hold back and not ask." Zhang Fangping laughed, showing an expression that was as expected, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, Fan Xiwen's character has not changed. But it was a little bit of favor, if it was the same back then, why not. ”

This time, Chu Zhen really didn't understand, and said in confusion: "What does my uncle mean by this?" ”

"Before explaining, you answer me a question." Zhang Fangping smiled slightly: "After taking over, I carefully looked at the books and accounts in the office. I found a strange thing, at the beginning of the year, there was not much money and food left in the warehouse, why in an instant. But there was a huge amount of income, and it was only then that the government was able to implement the so-called Qingmiao Decree, and what puzzled me was that the summer tax was not collected, but where did the money come from? ”

The elder comes first, and he is diligent in explaining his doubts, and the nephew then Xie Chu Zhen said with a sly smile, in fact, Zhang Fangping is terrifying, and he should tell him about it, but it is just because of his behavior, after all, Zhang Fangping's performance is difficult to win people's trust, and finally decided to hide it first. has been delayed until now, but I didn't think about it, but I became my own family.

"Slippery, this is clearly the elder." Zhang Fangping reprimanded with a smile. Suddenly, he said seriously: "Even I can see that the Qingmiao Law is not as good as the law of Changping, can't Fan Xiwen see it, why does he want to implement it." ”

"What Uncle means is that Fan Gong did it on purpose." Chu Zhen muttered, "What's the purpose of doing this? ”

Of course, it is to leave me a person Zhang Fangping said with a smile: "In Hangzhou, he has done everything, so he leaves no room for it, so how can the next state official be embarrassed, how can there be no complaints in his heart." But now he left the green seedling law, and only changed it, which is the merit of benefiting the people, and the reputation and political achievements are both, so I have to accept the favor. ”

Chu Zhen suddenly realized, and felt strange at that time. In the case of Changping Huimin Warehouse, Fan Zhongyan still insisted on the implementation of Qingmiaohan, but he didn't think that the reason was still this deep meaning, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier. The same is true for officials, once they take office, they may erase and repeal the decrees left behind by their predecessors, and give such a generous favor to the successor official, presumably he will be embarrassed to make changes again.

"You must also know that Changping Huimin Cang's rice and grain are enough for the coming year, so when I ordered the repeal of the Qingmiao Decree. I didn't insist on dissuading it. Zhang Fangping said with a smile.

Perhaps, Chu Zhen was unsure in his heart, and of course nodded and admitted on the surface. I'm a little embarrassed. He said ashamedly: "I blamed my uncle, I'm really ashamed." Fang Ping said strangely: "Doesn't Fan Xiwen care about his reputation the most, how could he deliberately leave a flaw and make people ruin his reputation." ”

There is indeed this possibility, people are the most forgetful animals, when Fan Zhongqi implemented the green seedling method, the people were naturally grateful, but now Zhang Fangping directly implements the Changping law, and the borrowed money does not have to be returned. The people cheered, and after that, they would definitely complain to Fan Zhongyan in their hearts, how could they charge themselves interest.

Chu Zhen said as a matter of course: "Fan Gong regards fame and fortune as floating clouds, as long as it is beneficial to the people, he naturally doesn't care about being a little stigmatized. ”

"Fan Xiwen once threatened that if you don't worship famous religion, you will be a king. It is said that Yao Shun is not enough to admire, and he is not afraid enough; Those who are ministers are said to be eight yuan is not enough, and the four evils are not enough to be ashamed.

Again, if people don't love their names, then the power of the saint will go. The way of indoctrination does not precede fame. Zhang Fangping shook his head and explained: "This is the principle that he believes in and adheres to, and he practices it, so that his straightforward voice is all over the world, and his reputation is all over the government and the opposition." ”

"But Fan Gong often said to me, the name of his life, when he sees the big festival, there is no need to talk about the merits, take a small name to attract great regrets, it is advisable to share the worries with the country, and there is no special name." Chu Zhen said: "Fan Gong is worried about the country and the people. I really don't care about myself. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Fangyang sighed: "Alas, I'm not as good as Fan Xiwen, it's a pity for him." ”

"yes." Chu Zhen agreed: "With the power of Fan Gong, he should be the prime minister in the court, and Anbang is in power, but now he is governing the place, which is really overkill." ”

"For the phase?" Zhang Fangyang smiled inexplicably and said categorically: "It's difficult, it's almost impossible." ”

"Why? The gentlemen and ministers of the court were very much looking forward to Fan Gong's return to the court. Chu Zhi was puzzled. This is not his speculation, but He She's letter, he also thinks that this is right, if Fan Zhongyan lives a few more years, it will definitely not be a problem to return to the dynasty, after all, there are precedents, since the beginning of the Taizong period, the ministers of the Song Dynasty have changed like a marquee, and there are many people who have changed, and there are many people who have left, but as long as there is no major crime of bullying the king and treason, he will not stay in the place for too long.

For example, Xia La, who single-handedly plotted against Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi, and was recognized as a traitor by the world, after being expelled from the capital, he came back to retire after only one year, and countless people despised him and denounced him at that time. asked him to get out of here immediately, but Xia Shu gave full play to his shameless spirit and said that he was sick. So stay in Tokyo, seek medicine, and die in the capital. is just unwilling to leave, in the end. It's dead. Others don't take him seriously. Of course, Fan Zhongyan can't do this kind of thing, but it is Wang Anshi in the future, and he is also after the resignation of the prime minister. The emperor was recalled, as long as the emperor still remembered that he was a courtier, he still used it when he should use it, and with Chu Zhen's own understanding, he felt that Song Renzong was an extremely nostalgic emperor, and it was not uncommon to recall Fan Zhongyan.

"It's been six or seven years since the fourth year of Qingli." Zhang Fangping sneered: "It's been a long time, if you want to go back, you should have gone back a long time ago." Why wait until now. ”

"But I heard that if it weren't for someone in the court who was obstructing him, Fan Gong would have returned to the court a long time ago." Chu Zhen said.

Zhang Fangping asked, "Who stopped it?" ”

Chu Zhen said softly: "Zhang Yaozuo." ”

"He? What a joke. (To be continued) concave said mixed Shanshun book dry) Qi umbrella
