Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu chatted happily, which is in response to the old saying: There are fewer cups of wine for a thousand confidants, and there is more than half a sentence of speculation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He found that Ouyang Xiu was not at all as old-fashioned as his uncle Ouyang Ye, and his words revealed boldness and enterprising.

"Although the articles of the Great Song Dynasty are full of flowers, they are too empty, pun, and the style of writing is gorgeous, but it is inevitable to say big words, clichés, empty words, these flashy things are actually the main style of the imperial examination, this is a big fallacy!"

Ouyang Xiu's words made Zhao Zhen very surprised, this kid was born in the system and actually began to question the system, his courage is not ordinary!

Sure enough, as soon as Ouyang Xiu's words fell, his uncle's hand beckoned, and a violent shudder made his tears roll in his eyes, and Cai Qi even smiled and gloated: "At a young age, he said wildly, the official documents of the Tang Dynasty were all written by the prose, and there are countless of the essences, Li Shangyin, Duan Chengshi, and Wen Tingyun are all all kinds of masters, and the thirty-six bodies of the prose can be underestimated?" ”

Ouyang Ye didn't even bother to answer, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "Sit in the well and watch the sky!" "I gave Ouyang Xiu's words and found him guilty.

But Zhao Zhen felt that it was very reasonable, he had read the prose, and there was nothing else except the gorgeous sentences, because of the accommodation of the sentence structure and the accumulation of rhetoric, it often affected the expression of the content.

A simple sentence often has to be painstakingly catered to the battle, sometimes at the expense of mixing in obscure words, which greatly affects the office efficiency of the imperial court, and if someone points it out, opponents will claim that the other party is shallow and difficult to read.

Zhao Zhen looked at Ouyang Xiu with a wry smile: "What my brother said is very true, but what he said is not true, Uncle Ling is an official, you say in front of him that Luwen is not, of course it is boring to be self-deprecating!" ”

Ouyang Xiu glanced at Ouyang Ye with a wry smile and said, "Obviously, I had a good chat with Wu Daguan, why do you still listen to the two of us!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Ouyang Xiu still didn't understand the hard work of the two old men, although they seemed to be hot with Wu Daguan, they actually put their minds on their own conversation with Ouyang Xiu, this is the love of the elders for the juniors, and it is also a kind of guidance.

Ouyang Ye seemed to be pointing out Ouyang Xiu's mistakes, but he was actually warning him not to think about breaking the tradition and system. Don't challenge the rules of the game jointly formulated by the emperor and the ministers!

With such an uncle, what is not satisfied? Zhao Zhen sometimes really envied Ouyang Xiu beside him.

Thinking about his palace, he felt that his head was big for a while, and there was no one close to him in the palace except for the scourge left by his father, and those concubines who had not given birth to children had gone to the royal family temple to become monks. Only Zhao Zhen's little lady Yang Caiwei, the snake and scorpion, was left to continue to be entrenched in the harem.

His own clan is even more unbearable, and Zhao Yuanyan, an eighth uncle who has rebelled, is not counted, and the rest except for Zhao Yuanzuo, the pro-uncle, are all children who can't support the wall.

Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu chatted very happily, not only in the article, but even in politics, Zhao Zhen whispered to Ouyang Xiu about the things in the court, when he told Ouyang Xiu that there was a drought and famine in Dengzhou, Ouyang Xiu's face changed greatly.

"What the virtuous brother said is true?!"

"It's true!"

Ouyang Xiu's face was ugly and said, "The official family has just succeeded to the throne and encountered this kind of thing, what a natural disaster!" ”

"Is it a natural disaster? I think it's a man-made disaster! If there is a drought, the local government should also provide disaster relief for the first time, and according to the statistics of the three divisions every year, the official warehouse and the regular closing can quickly stabilize the grain price at a flat price, and there will never be a starving people fleeing the famine. ”

The conversation between Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu attracted the attention of the other three, Cai Qi shook his head and said: "Little brother takes it for granted, if you are not in the local area, who knows what the situation is, you just heard some rumors, how could the imperial court not go to disaster relief?" Besides, the amount of food that is often closed is limited! ”

"It's not limited! It's just a handful, a certain family is back from Dengzhou, don't hide it from you, in fact, I used to be in the grain business, before in Ruzhou, Dengzhou both have grain shops, but famine together, every grain shop is closed, everyone raised the price of grain and waited for the price to sell! ”

After Wu Daguan finished speaking, Ouyang Xiu asked strangely, "Uncle, did he do the same?" ”

"One family didn't do that, they put a little grain out to sell, and the price barely changed, but you know what? Within a few days, a group of people rushed into my food store and looted it! Do you think where these people came from? Why do you want to rob a certain grain store? ”

Ouyang Xiu thought for a long time and said from his mouth: "I'm afraid the people are hungry and anxious." ”

"Haha...... What a good nephew! Wu Daguan looked at Ouyang Xiu's young appearance and couldn't bear to tell him about the cruel world, so he could only shake his head and sigh, "The world is impermanent, natural disasters and man-made disasters are unpredictable!" ”

The Great Song Dynasty does not punish crimes with words, this is an era of freedom of speech, so Wu Daguan dares to speak so freely.

I don't know who I said this, anyway, Zhao Zhen felt very harsh.

Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi glanced at each other, they saw helplessness and worry in each other's eyes, now is the period of alternation of the highest power of the country, the official family is young and has just succeeded to the throne, drought and famine This kind of thing will somewhat affect the reputation of the official family.

"Needless to say, these people also know that they were instructed by other grain stores. You're in the way of other people's money! ”

Zhao Zhen's words instantly made Ouyang Xiu's eyes light up, and he nodded again and again: "Brother Xian is right, they can't look down on the good deeds of Wu Daguan!" Why don't you report to the official? ”

Wu Cai smiled bitterly: "How can you report to the official without evidence?" Those officials are anxious to find a way to fill the hole in the regular position and the official warehouse! ”

"What?!" Wu Cai's words shocked Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi.

"The regular positions and official positions in Dengzhou and Ruzhou are not full?" The two screamed in unison.

Wu Cai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can it be full?" If it was a full warehouse, the victims would not have come to Xijing! ”

"The victims are coming to Xijing!" It was another piece of news that caught Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi off guard.

Wu Cai asked strangely, "You two don't know about this?" The victims of the disaster in Dengzhou and Ruzhou could not get relief from the government, so they came all the way to Xijing, not to mention that they heard that the official family was also in Xijing, and they gave up the farther Tokyo City and went straight to Luoyang City! ”

Compared with the shock of his uncle and Cai Qi, Ouyang Xiu was much more relaxed: "It's okay now, there is an official family here, and the victims are saved!" Brother Xian, don't you say? Virtuous brother? ”

At this time, Ouyang Xiu found that Zhao Zhen, who was originally gentle and elegant, had become like ice in winter, and his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Carefully patted Zhao Zhen's arm and said, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Zhen squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You still don't know, right?" On the way to Gongxian, the official family had already issued an order, ordering Yingchang Mansion and Tangzhou, which were close to the affected places, to quickly transport grain to Ruzhou and Dengzhou for disaster relief! Such a long time has passed, so where did the disaster victims that Wu Daguan saw on the road come from! ”

Wu Cai whispered: "Maybe they left early, and the grain hasn't arrived yet?" ”

"Impossible! The victims of the disaster will guard the city and wait for help if they have the slightest hope, and will never travel thousands of miles to Xijing, knowing that the consumption on the road is much greater than waiting in place! What's more, the officials will never let the people under their rule go to Beijing to beg until they have to! ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and arched his hand to everyone and said, "Zhao Zhen still has urgent things to do, so he will stay for a short time, and he will continue in the future!" ”

Peng Qi and a group of guards had been waiting not far from the flower hall for a long time, and when they saw Zhao Zhen coming out in anger, he asked, "Official, let's go back to the palace?" ”

"No return!"

"So what are we going to do?"

"Kill!"
