It is raining in Bianjing for the last autumn rain of the year, and it is cold.

This place is one of the most prosperous and brilliant metropolises in the world today, the city that never sleeps, and there is no one.

Nearly one-third of the "GDP" of the Great Song Dynasty is in this place, which means that more than one-tenth of the "GDP" of the whole earth in this era is in Bianjing. If you want to calculate the magnitude, the ten New Yorks of the later generations are not so awesome together.

However, one of the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty is that the imperial city complex is relatively small and not brilliant. Historical records believe that this was because most of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were relatively frugal. In fact, the real reason is that there is a group of old masters in the Great Song Dynasty who love to snatch food from the emperor's mouth, and they are withholding the money allocated to the royal treasury all day long.

Therefore, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was relatively depressed, and it was not until Zhao Ji of the later Song Dynasty Huizong began to expand the palace and build a large number of buildings.

Zhao Zhen stood under the eaves outside the vertical arch hall, looking at the desolate and desolate autumn rain and pondering. In his forties, he was elegant and had three long beards.

An old eunuch walked over, put on a robe for the emperor from behind, and said, "The weather is cooling, and the officials should pay attention to their bodies." ”

The famous Emperor Renzong didn't care about these details, his face was quite strange, and he held a newspaper in his hand, and sometimes picked it up to look at it.

After that, Zhao Zhen sighed and muttered, "This Wang Anshi ...... I really don't know what to say about him. He went to the south to make trouble in a good way, and heard that he personally went into battle to escort grain and grass, so when he was eating there, he had a friction with Chen Shu, quarreled a few words, and then fell to the ground and beat him. In the end, he was pulled away, and Chen was injured a lot and sent to the hospital. ”

The old eunuch thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and said: "Wang Anshi sang a good show, but after all, he couldn't escape the wisdom of the official family, and you saw it." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, of course I can see that he did it on purpose, which is obviously different from his usual behavior." ”

Since the emperor saw it, the old eunuch didn't say much, and said sharply: "Then Your Majesty will naturally compare Wang Anshi's failures." ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a long time, looked at Qiu Yu and shook his head slightly: "I don't plan to care. Wang Anshi did it on purpose, but if you want to talk about my mood, that Chen Wei is too bold, he doesn't listen to the commander's military orders appointed by me, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he gives me 8,000 sons, shouldn't he be beaten? When Di Qing ordered him not to fight a decisive battle until he arrived at the front line, Chen was not a soldier, but the arrogance of the literati, and they did not obey me, nor did they obey Di Qing, who was hand-picked by me. ”

The more he talked about Zhao Zhen, the more frustrated he became. However, the Great Song Dynasty was so virtuous, which was the so-called literati general strategy set by Emperor Taizu. Chen Agency's foolish arrogance is there, there is backbone, and there are people who disobey martial artists. He sent troops to fight for merit and to win. But in the end, good intentions did bad things.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen can't deal with him, and no one in the Great Song Dynasty will deal with him. That's a war crime. If the punishment is too heavy, it will make Han Qi, who is working in Hedong, very aggrieved and sad.

Therefore, although Zhao Zhen felt that Wang Anshi suddenly became very painful, but the eight thousand sons were all cut off by him, what happened to beating him?

"Wang Anshi is a clever man, a smart man, in addition to his son, he is also a smart man." Zhao Zhen twisted his beard and sighed, "Sima Guang reported to me the book "Policy Theory", which was written by Wang Anshi's ten-year-old son. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen laughed: "It's funny, that kid's speech is cheesy but smooth, and there are a lot of deviant 'original words'." Is it written...... Very naughty boy. But I think it's quite interesting, down-to-earth, distinctive, and insightful. ”

The old eunuch smiled: "This naughty boy can do what he likes to the official family, and he is called down-to-earth, which seems to be unique." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "The uniqueness remains to be seen. However, his strategy is full of details and strong realism, and he seems to be a person who is interested in agriculture and animal husbandry, and he is a doer like his father. I like this kind of person. ”

It is said that Zhao Zhen is a down-to-earth emperor, what is down-to-earth? He has to do the farmer's work every year, and he farms once in the Daqing Palace, which is considered a sacrificial ceremony.

Of course, this is pretending to be forced in the process of walking, but after all, he rolled up his trouser legs and stood in the mud, and his feet with fine skin and tender flesh stepped on the ground, and he basically knew how the food came out and how the people lived, so of course this is also called grounding.

So now, when everyone is drunk and dreaming of death, and he is so wet and knowledgeable, the son of Wang Anshi, a generation of everyone, can't write well, but he is studying the breeding industry? Not to mention whether his argument will eventually succeed, just say that the son of Wang Anshi, a university scholar, learned from my steps to "step on the ground" and become a farmer, which is quite interesting in Zhao Zhen's opinion.

However, the depressing thing is that I don't know how Xiao Wang and Lao Wang offended Sima Guang, Sima Guang actually said that Wang Yan didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

This bad review more or less disgusted Zhao Zhen. Because he Sima Guang is biased on this issue, the kid in Zhao Zhen's eyes is: he doesn't learn and has skills.

The more I think about it, the happier I become, in this season of cold autumn rain and internal and external troubles, hearing about the Shuzhou child made Zhao Zhen's heart feel a little warmer.

Excited, even the steady Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I want to pass on the decree and give Wang Yan as a ......."

The old eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please be cautious, he is only ten years old now. ”

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to shut up.

The old eunuch is the person he trusts, and he is an almost father-like existence who has taken care of his daily life since he was a child. So now the old eunuch has two meanings to stop, the first Wang Yan is only ten years old, and he is sealed just by virtue of a paper that has not yet been proven to be effective, which is indeed very bad, and his age is a hard injury.

The biggest problem is: now Sima Guang has made it clear that he wants to fight against the Wang family. Who is Sima Guang? He is Prime Minister Pang's most proud protégé. The current privy envoy and Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang Shi Pang Ji is quite protective of Sima Guang.

Seeing that the emperor hesitated, the old eunuch said: "For this reason, the official family needs to have a headache for a while, Pang Xianggong's face cannot be ignored, but the down-to-earth young faction also needs to be encouraged and promoted." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and when he turned to walk away, he said, "Spread my will and give Wang Yan the number of 'Shuzhou Prodigy'." In addition, I decided to reform the scientific examination, and I need to let future candidates know that if they quote the scriptures and commentaries, and at the same time, they need to clarify the righteousness of the festival before it is of the highest quality. But those who do not understand the righteousness from the subtle words, and only discuss the book and quote the scriptures to answer, then it is called "good reading does not seek to understand" in Wang Yan's theory, only for the middle grade. Those quotations and classics are not on the horse's mouth, and there are many mistakes and omissions, so don't waste my time. In the future, it is necessary to reduce the number of scientific examinations and reduce the links and proportions of the "Nine Classics" and resignations. ”

The old eunuch was taken aback, although the emperor had already had the idea of reforming the scientific examination, but he didn't expect the child Wang Yan to feel so much about him, so he put forward this initiative at this opportunity?

The emperor's so-called "Festival of Righteousness" also specifically emphasized "starting from micro-words". This is actually Zhao Zhen's own down-to-earth theory, probably the model is what Wang Yan handed over this time, and it is of course the righteousness of the people to take food as the sky, but in that sprinkling article, Zhao Zhen did not see Wang Yan quoting scriptures and classics to talk about the truth, all details, all logic.

Those children who don't speak are whispers. But what is clear between the lines is the righteousness of the people to take food as the sky.

It's not that Zhao Zhen likes to read typos and weird grammar, it's just that I'm used to reading Jingxiu's articles by talented people of the Manchu Dynasty on weekdays, so it's nothing surprising, they're not wrong, but it's a bit fake. So it's not that Wang Yan writes too well, but because he writes poorly, he writes the truth, which is like letting Zhao Zhen get a cup of tea when he is tired of eating big fish and meat, which is slightly bitter but fresh.

The so-called refreshing is all supported by peers. The old masters have worked hard.

The old eunuch felt that it was awesome, and the emperor was subconsciously reforming the scientific examination towards Wang Yan's model.

Hey, I don't know how much hatred that unlearned Wang Yan has to pull for this. Fortunately, the emperor did not offend all the readers, and the emperor himself said that those who quote the scriptures, as long as they can cite them, are also considered medium-grade. Of course, the middle grade is decent. But if you want to rely on these middle armor, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future.

In this regard, the old eunuch asked one more question: "Such as Wang Yan, there is no quotation and commentary, but only careless words are counted?" ”

"Let's count it as a medium grade, haha, it seems that the court is going to be lively for a while, and the old masters will definitely quarrel about it, but it's okay, I think Wang Yan is a supernatural power, of course you can seal him a prodigy." No matter how hateful they are, they won't chase a child to fight against each other. Zhao Zhen smiled and sneezed......
