Chapter 16 Ouyang Xiu, who can't get along with Di Qing

The sumo wrestling site is still in full swing, and there are more than 100 people working in the wrestling field, and the laborers of this era are extremely industrious, and they will rush to the construction site at dawn, and they will call it a day when it is dark and return home.

Di Yong was also very responsible for supervising the work on the spot, and when he saw Gan Qi, who had returned home, he came forward to see him, but there was no smile on his face, only a frown.

Gan Qi returned the salute, saw Di Yong's face, and asked, "What is uncomfortable in Brother Di's heart?" ”

Di Yong and Gan Qi have been familiar with each other for a few days, but they don't hide it, and directly replied: "Brother Gan, it's really aggrieved. My father just asked for a petty official position for me, but he was criticized several times, and he was angry at home, shaking his head and sighing. You say that this Bianliang is still not a place for people? ”

"I don't know what kind of official position Di Shumi has given his brother?" Gan Qi asked.

Di Yong stretched out his little finger and said: "The official position like a sesame mung bean, the envoy of the Dongtou Pavilion, the official position of pulling a cart and leading a horse to guard the door for the official, is this an official?" With my father's military exploits, what is it for me to be such a petty official? But there are still people who accuse my father of using power for personal gain? Although my father is a deputy to the Privy Council, how can he have more than half of the authority? But if there is the slightest authority, it will not slow down Bianliang to find recreation. It's infuriating! ”

Gan Qi knew that the Song Dynasty mostly used "official" to refer to the emperor, so he shook his head and said, "Who wants to attack Di Shumi's like this?" ”

"Who? Isn't it Ouyang Xiu's house? Di Yong replied.

"Ouyang Xiu? Hanlin Ouyang Xiu? Gan Qi was somewhat surprised when he heard this name, in Gan Qi's knowledge, Ouyang Xiu was a famous person, Gan Qi really didn't know that Ouyang Xiu was the person who had always been unable to get along with Di Qing, who had made great achievements.

"It's this guy, I have to say that Kaifeng had a big flood last year, it was because of my father, how can it be so reasonable?" Di Yong was indignant.

Gan Qi suddenly remembered that Di Qing seemed to be these things and immediately died of illness, and suddenly the scene when he saw Di Qing a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and he also remembered those things about Di Qing's brave and invincible battle. opened his mouth and said, "Brother Di, are you going to be on duty in the imperial city recently?" ”

Di Yong waved his hand: "On duty?" I don't know what the result is. It's not worth it. ”

Gan Qi heard that Di Yong didn't need to be on duty, and immediately said: "Then you hurry up and recruit more craftsmen tomorrow, and the sumo wrestling field must speed up the progress, so that Di Shumi can have a real pastime and relieve the stasis in his heart." ”

Gan Qi knew that Di Qing was angry to death. At this time, Di Qing seemed to have gray hair on his head, just because he was boiling people at the border, but he was actually not very old, not even fifty years old.

What Gan Qi can do at this time is to find a place for Di Qing to relieve his worries and boredom, so that Di Qing can be a little more comfortable and happy, and maybe he will not be really angry immediately.

Di Yong nodded, let out a long breath, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Gan, don't thank you for your great kindness, don't thank you for your great kindness." You and I are brothers in this life. I, Di Yong, will definitely live up to this brotherhood. ”

Gan Qi also arched his hand and said: "General Di has done his best for the country and the people, these are all things I should do, and my brother doesn't have to see outside." ”

When Di Yong heard this, his eyes seemed to have tears, and he was so excited that Gan Qi was unexpected, and said: "Brother Gan, in the future, you will be my eldest brother in the future, and I Di Yong will worship you as my eldest brother." My father has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he has escaped death countless times, and now he has arrived in Bianliang, the entire Bianliang City, but no eldest brother has you said my father's words of dedication for the country and the people, only the eldest brother you said a fair word. ”

Di Yong's words, listening to Gan Qi's heart, Gan Qi knew these things, but he really didn't know that the matter was so serious. Gan Qi didn't know that Di Qing had the same etiquette when he saw Han Qi as a child meeting his elders, and the tone of his conversation with Han Qi was as cautious as a servant.

Gan Qi really didn't know that Di Qing's situation in the capital had reached such a point. Gan Qi really didn't expect that the difference between civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty had reached such a deformed point.

Gan Qi wanted to make a effort in his heart, but he really didn't want to see Di Qinghui end up with such a tragedy, so he tentatively said: "Brother Di, I have heard that Bao Longtu of Kaifeng Mansion is a decent person and extremely fair, I don't know if Di Shumi has ever dealt with Bao Longtu?" ”

"Bao Zheng?" Di Yong thought for a while, and said: "If you want to talk about this Bao Zheng, I also said bad things about my father in the court at the earliest, but later when my father was shouted and beaten, Bao Zheng stopped speaking, this person may still be a fair person." I understand what the eldest brother means, but it is impossible for Bao Zheng to speak for my father. Although I also heard that Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng don't deal with each other very well, Bao Zheng is a civil official after all, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty will be close to my father. ”

Gan Qi understood the meaning, what Di Yong said, that is, Di Qing is now in the capital, almost isolated, isolated by civil officials, and almost everyone shouts and beats.

But Gan Qi still asked: "Bao Longtu and Ouyang Xiu don't deal with each other?" ”

Di Yong nodded and replied: "Well, I heard that the two of them often have arguments in the court, especially about Bao Zheng's promotion, Ouyang Xiu often criticizes him, and Bao Zheng is also a tough person, and the two of them have a lot of arguments." ”

Gan Qi asked again: "It stands to reason that Ouyang Xiu is just a Hanlin, even if he learned about the tribute last year, he is only a third-grade, why is he so useful in the court?" ”

Di Yong replied: "Brother doesn't know, although Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and many other ministers have authority, but don't underestimate Ouyang Xiu's Zhigong move, which is faintly the leader of the literary world today, the words of the leader of the literary world, which is useless?" Ouyang Xiu said that whenever he spoke, the people who attached to the court and the central government did not know how many, especially those officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, almost all of them were only the first to look forward. His words are naturally useful, and most of the officials listen to him and believe him. ”

Zhi Gongju is the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

Gan Qi heard Di Yong say so much, and he understood the general situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and also knew the situation Di Qing was in now, and Gan Qi couldn't say anything else, he looked up at the sky, it was almost dark, Gan Qi said: "Brother Di, call the craftsmen to call it a day and go home, you also hurry into the city, you can't enter the city gate when it gets dark." ”

Di Yong nodded, bowed again, and said, "Big brother, little brother will come to visit tomorrow." ”

Gan Qi replied, watching Di Yong's back disappear at the end of the road.

Di Qing has a total of five sons, one son died early, and among the remaining four sons, only Di Yong has some achievements in history, inherited his father's mantle, and made many military exploits in the battle array, and the other three sons are all unknown.

Gan Qi, as a person with different thoughts, heard Di Qing's words, and the touch in his heart was indescribable, and even Gan Qi launched a thought to reverse Di Qing's tragedy, but at this time, Gan Qi seemed to be a little helpless.
