Cai Xiang was impeached by Chen Hui, the general sentence of Lu Yijian's Ma Zai Sizhou, because he wrote the poem "Four Sages and One Unscrupulous". Chen Hui wrote to Renzong and asked Cai Xiang to be punished, but fortunately, Zuo Situ Han Qi impeached Chen Hui and overstepped his duties, and Cai Xiang was spared.

The annual drama "Jingyou Party Struggle" came to an end. The reformists led by Fan Zhongyan were completely defeated, and Lü Yijian won a complete victory.

However, according to the analysis of some historians, Fan Zhongyan was defeated but not defeated, and Lü Yijian was victorious but not victorious. Although the party struggle set off by Fan Zhongyan this time was a bad start for the later literati factional struggle, it also laid the foundation for the "Qingli New Deal" and Wang Anshi's reforms. And Lu Yijian seems to have won, but he has been jealous of the emperor, and sooner or later he will have to be cleaned up.

In this regard, Fang Zhongyong could only say, hehe.

Lu Yijian is not an ordinary subordinate to Zhao Zhen, but a person who has the great grace to protect the glory of his biological mother after her death. It is not appropriate to say that there are parents again, but Lu Yijian's weight in the heart of the extremely filial Zhao Zhen is very heavy, and it is by no means comparable to the up-and-coming Fan Zhongyan. Although Fan Zhongyan is a capable minister who governs the world, but the country is peaceful at the moment, so I will bother you to hone yourself in the local area for a few more years!

I don't dare to say it, at least it's more reliable than those random speculations. This is the so-called imperial mind!

One day, Fang Zhongyong accompanied him in the palace, engaged in the work of a male secretary who served tea and poured water and consulted information.

Xu is that Zhao Zhen is tired from work, and perhaps Chairman Zhao Zhen is also well versed in the work orientation of later secretaries, and said seemingly unintentionally: "The government and the opposition have a lot of discussions about Fan Zhongyan and others, thinking that I am a relative and a minister, a distant gentleman, and I have the appearance of a faint monarch." Zhongyong, what do you think? ”

Fang Zhongyong wanted to say, "Look at the window!" "I'm afraid that Zhao Zhen doesn't have a sense of humor, and the chairman asks you if he is mediocre, so you still have to answer seriously. lest he think that you do not pay attention to his feelings, and impose punishments such as punishment, disparagement, and dismissal.

Fang Zhongyong organized the language: "This is also a right and wrong, and the other is just a right and wrong." What a wounded official's family order! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "If you are young, don't learn from those slippery old ministers!" There is nothing to do today, so you can speak in detail, and do not have any worries. ”

When your boss asks you to give your opinion boldly, if you think he wants to listen to your real thoughts, you are very wrong.

There is a proverb in the West that the emperor does not make mistakes.

The emperors of the East, of course, would not be infallible. All the mistakes are made by the courtiers, and all the guilt should be borne by the courtiers, otherwise, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, and my master feels insulted.

Fang Zhongyong doesn't want to die, at least he doesn't want to die for Zhao Zhen, I still have a beautiful flower to love, and my baby son wants to hurt, how can I make you feel unhappy?

Fang Zhongyong said with a smile: "It's not that Weichen is slippery, it's really that both sides of this matter have their own fallacies, and they are not perfect!"

Zhao Zhen became interested, picked up the teacup, squeaked beautifully, and said like a crowd eating melons: "It's a little interesting, let's talk about it, let's talk about it." It's really not a bit of the image of a human monarch from this person, and the so-called hope is not like a human monarch.

But no matter what you think in your heart, it doesn't hurt to be in awe of someone who can decide your job or even your head.

Fang Zhongyong, who was deeply poisoned by chicken soup texts such as "why didn't you succeed" in later generations, still has some experience in dealing with this situation, and replied: "Lu Xiang does have deep roots and many protégés, although it is understandable to arrange one or two as appropriate, but there is always a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain. Fan Zhongyan and others, holding high the banner of justice, those who are with me are gentlemen, and those who are not with me are villains. Even if there are thousands of talents, they will inevitably fall into the trap of the party and fighting against differences. It's all right and wrong! ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Fang Zhongyong meaningfully and asked, "Oh! I have heard the saying that those who say wrong are not people. Can Zhongyong have the intention of opening his eyes for you? ”

Not to mention that most of the emperors don't live long, there are too many eyes!

Do you think every day that there are always people who want to harm me? At most, everyone wants to get some benefit from you, and the people who kill you and change you to a puppet or even sit on that chair yourself can't say no, but there must be very few. Besides, your third ancestor has the merit of unification and the benefit of the people, not to mention Wang Mang, even Li Mang and Zhang Mang have no ability to seize your power and usurp your throne?

No wonder you have dark circles under your eyes and look like you're not getting enough sleep. People with careful eyes don't have high sleep quality!

There are too many slanders, Zhao Zhen can't wait: "Have you figured out how to deceive me?"

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly said: "I thought about it, uh no, I didn't think about it." Bah! Okay, my emperor, do you still want to speak? ”

Zhao Zhen laughed: "I am speechless when I am squeezed by those old ministers every day, and I feel like I am spitting on my face. Seeing your embarrassment today, it is really a great relief for my life! Very good, very good! ”

The kidneys are good, the body is good, the food is fragrant, and there are no gifts for the holidays this year......

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly expelled the unhealthy thought of "hello and me" out of his mind, and said solemnly: "The kidneys are good, uh no, the minister thinks that His Majesty's decision is completely correct, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Coax the master first, and the rest of the things, hehe!

"The minister's Dongyue is still not ready to deal with political affairs, and his virtue and ability are not enough to serve the public, and he has not yet known the mandate of heaven. Suddenly ascending to a high position is really a killing. The official family does not want to make it lucky, which is really the greatest love for his subordinates. The ministers are brave and thank Your Majesty for their concern! ”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "You can talk!" Oh, by the way, how did you arrange your Xiyue? ”

Xiyue? Huashan? Fang Zhongyong looked confused.

"Since you call the father of Mrs. Dongyuan Dongyue, isn't the father of Mrs. Xiyuan Xiyue?"

I was tricked by the ancients, and I was really embarrassed to cross the face of my peers!

Fang Zhongyong said helplessly: "Xiyue of the minister, uh no, the minister's father-in-law, Wang Yi, is not talented enough, and he does not dare to ask for a high position, he is only willing to be a rich man!" Since the official family asked, there must be a beauty difference, right? The minister thanked the official's family for his father-in-law first! ”

Zhao Zhen was amused by Fang Zhongyong's cheekiness: "I just said it casually, but you grabbed the handle." Chen Lin, is there a vacancy in Beijing officials with less life and more money? ”

Chen Lin, who has served Zhao Zhen for more than 20 years, heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that the fat is poor, there is really one, and the inner government has sent a deputy capital manager." Although it was a little hard, it was purchased in the palace and tributes everywhere were passed through his hands. is the most incorruptible person, and the annual income of thousands is also rare. It's really a big difference! ”

It's good that you are Chen Lin, you have no lower body, and you can't look at other people's sexual happiness. If you really send your old father-in-law into the palace and let the Wu family, who still has charm, stay alive and widowed, according to Wang Lingwei's fiery temper, she must click herself and be with her father-in-law.

This matter is not appropriate, let's discuss it again, let's discuss it again!

Under Fang Zhongyong's "turning the tide", Wang Yi escaped by luck and saved his lower body.

Zhao Zhen received praise from Fang Zhongyong, and said with a little relief but a little helplessly: "Zhongyong has such insight at a young age, and he is really worthy of being a good talent!" It's ridiculous that those rotten Confucians, thinking that I am a dumb king, are blinded by that Lu Yijian. It's ridiculous! Is Lu Yijian arbitrary? Did you interfere with the palace and intend to usurp the throne? A little selfishness, what a point! ”

Fang Zhongyong sent a compliment again: "The official family is Shengming! All the people in the world like to hear praise and praise words, but they are tired of listening to criticism. If no matter what others say, or dislike it, or destroy it, you are not angry, you are a master in the world! Since you can't abandon your wife and children, and give up this red dust, don't be harsh on others with too high moral standards.

This time, Fan Xiwen and others are strict with themselves and treat others strictly, which is really a big mistake! You Fan Xiwen is a gentleman with noble aspirations, but most people are not! For example, Gao Rune, but he didn't think about someone's practice in his heart, and he didn't speak for Fan and others in time, so he was ridiculed as a treacherous villain, isn't he wronged? ”

Hey! While defending Gao Ruone, he explained to his unconscious Dongyue a little, lest the emperor think that Yan Shu was an irresponsible thing!

I don't know if Zhao Zhen understood or pretended to be confused, so he only asked Fang Zhongyong: "Zhongyong seems to be very disappreciative of Fan Xiwen and others?"

"No, no, the minister still admires Fan Gong, Ouyang Gong and others! What the minister said was just talking about the mentality of ordinary people. And since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I have always been eclectic and talented, and there are talents in the court! The minister is a person who is afraid of future generations, holding high the banner of morality, whoever obeys me is a gentleman, and whoever goes against me is a villain. In this way, those who have been distinguished are all gentlemen who are so-called first-class in moral writing. Write an article, write a thousand words, and sprinkle with joy; When it comes to morality, it is also full of talk and flaunting high morality.

But can moral articles retreat from the enemy? Can the people be reassured and the people rich? Can you cure the river and level the thieves?

The thief came, and he went to death in anger, which seemed to be heroic, but what good did it do to the people of Limin? Parents have raised you for decades, and the court has given high-ranking officials generous gifts, do you want you to die with thieves? This is a false Confucian!

If there is that speculative camper, he is sanctimonious on the surface, but he is a male thief and a female prostitute in his bones. Like the guard dog, the ragged one growls at him, and the one in fine clothes shakes his head and wagging his tail to please him. When a thief comes, he gives him a brick, and he either runs away with his tail between his legs, or wags his tail and begs for mercy. This is called cynicism!

Fan Gong and others are different, their moral character is noble and ambitious. If you govern a county, you will be safe in a county, and if you govern a government, you will be safe. It can be described as a true Confucian! Those who are sent are only shooting and king. Only saw its Wen Tao, but did not see its martial arts. ”

Song Zhen, who was responsible for compiling "Living Note", suddenly spoke: "The words of Lord Xiaofang can be described as whipping into the inside, and entering the wood for three points!" Dare to ask the official, can the minister play this correctly, transcribe a few copies, and distribute them to Fan Xiwen and others? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "I know that you have a lot of criticism about my punishment. Okay, you should polish it and relay Fang Aiqing's words to Fan Zhongyan and others to ease his heart. You can also tell them that when the time comes, I will be of great use! I think the division of Confucianism by the Fang Qing family is very interesting, and it can be a wonderful article! Such a masterpiece, how can it be without wine? Come, feast! ”

The so-called feast sounds lofty, but it feels glorious, but it tastes bland and tasteless.

The taste is too strong and not good, for fear that the emperor will indulge in the desire of the tongue; It's not good if the dishes are novel, for fear that the emperor will waste the people's fat and people's cream; Too much meat is not good, it is not in line with the way of health.

Fang Zhongyong believes that is all. Zhao Zhen, who is reluctant to drink even a bowl of mutton soup, is a door-picking thing. Count on him to get you some delicacies from the mountains and seas, in the next life!

The wine is not bad, go back in your arms and let my father and mother taste it. This is a royal sake! The flask is also good, sterling silver, and the workmanship is good, so it should be able to pay for today's manuscript!

Song Zhen, who was eating and drinking with him, saw it and asked with a smile: "Zhong Yong wants to serve Lu Ji Huai Tangerine?"

Fang Zhongyong replied: "My father likes to drink the most, and he has been longing for the treasures in the palace for a long time, so he wants to serve this half pot of residual wine to his father."

"General History of Greater China" contains: The emperor gave a banquet without harming the public. Drink to the halfway point and drink the wine. When Song Zhen sat down, he asked, do you want to serve the orange? Answer, the father is addicted to alcohol, the family is poor, and the husband may also know that Zhong Yonghuai is drunk? The emperor smiled and said, why should I be stingy with a drink? As a result, the public trend gradually became a reality.
