Chai Jing, who is known as the first traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty and the "head of the six thieves" in the Northern Song Dynasty, is no less than Wang Anshi in the annals of history.

Moreover, this person has served as prime minister four times, with a term of office of nearly 20 years, and he can be called the first person in ancient and modern times, how can Zhang Bin not know.

secretly calculated the age and time, and was from Xianyou County, Fujian, Zhang Bin had basically determined that this person was one of the culprits of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and the shame of Jingkang.

At that moment, Zhang Bin had an impulse, that is, to kill this person in advance to prevent future troubles.

The murderous machine in his heart flashed away, Zhang Bin's face was as usual, thinking that this person could be the prime minister for nearly 20 years in the court with such a fierce party struggle at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his ability was probably extraordinary, such a person became a traitor at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, but at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, he may be a famous minister, and he may be a courtier of Emperor Qin, Han Wu or Tang Sect, and become a famous minister through the ages.

"This man may be a good man." Zhang Bin made a bold decision at this moment.

"I know that my uncle was forced by his father, and he can only be admitted to the Jinshi in the provincial examination next year, I don't know which subject the three brothers will take in the exam?" Zhang Bin and a few others drank another glass of wine, first pointed at Su Guo and said, and then asked the other three casually.

Cai Jing's face was full of confidence, and he smiled proudly: "Of course, it is a Jinshi." ”

Although Zhang Bin didn't remember the ranking of Chai Jing's imperial examination, he knew that Chai Jing was a famous talent in the Song Dynasty, especially his original "Palace Envoy Post" that was circulated in later generations was a priceless treasure.

Zhang Santao said with some unconfidence: "I am also admitted to the Jinshi in the next place, but I am not confident enough, and I am so worried!" ”

Everyone looked at Sun Guodong at the end, and the latter smiled bitterly: "The younger brother is shallow, but he wants to test the Ming Sutra." ”

Zhang Bin noticed that there was a flash of contempt in Cai Jing's eyes, and thought to himself that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the southerners were proud of the Jinshi examination, and the northerners were more likely to take the Ming scriptures, but in fact, there was no way.

The rebellion of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River Valley, which was the core of China, was severely devastated, but the south was very little damaged by the war, and some families migrated to the south of the Yangtze River before the war.

As a result, most of the important ministers in the DPRK are southerners, and the ancients have a strong sense of locality, which has invisibly intensified party strife, which is not a blessing for the country.

For example, at present, in addition to the new party and the old party, there is also a distinction between the northern party and the southern party, and even the entire Northern Song Dynasty has never stopped the struggle between the northern party and the southern party.

But in Zhang Bin's view, the northerners who take the test of Mingjing High School are more suitable for officials than the southerners who take the test of poetry and advice on high school jinshi.

Because, southerners are good at poetry, but this is really useless for rich countries, strong soldiers, and strong people, but the Ming Jing exam is mostly biased towards practical things.

Everyone said their intentions, and only Zhang Bin remained.

Cai Jing's eyes flashed, and he said: "In this dynasty's imperial examination, Jinshike has always been based on poetry, supplemented by strategy. Ziyu's father is a great Confucian in the world, and he must have been admitted to the science department. ”

Zhang Bin looked at Cai Jing, and suddenly remembered the third method introduced after the average loss when Wang Anshi changed the law in history, his heart was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "What Yuan Chang said is good, but next year he may stop poetry, and it may not be possible to use scriptures, theories, and strategies to get Jinshi." ”

Everyone was stunned, Su Guo, Sun Guodong and Zhang Santao suddenly looked at Zhang Bin with a look of sympathy, but Cai Jing was a little embarrassed on his face, thinking that he had forgotten that Zhang Ziyu was taking the second imperial examination, and he probably didn't have much confidence.

When Zhang Bin saw the faces of the four people, he knew that the four of them thought that they also had no confidence, so they just looked forward to the poetry and changed it to a jinshi with scriptures, theories, and strategies.

This kind of thing can be called a heavenly opportunity, Zhang Bin naturally can't say it, and he can't explain it, he just pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated, and said with an unfathomable smile: "I suffered a death catastrophe in Dashun City two months ago, and after the catastrophe did not die, I have a supernatural ability, but I can predict some things in the future, such as the imperial examination in the spring of tomorrow, and this poetry may not be examined." ”

Su Guo, Cai Jing, Sun Guodong, and Zhang Santao immediately looked at each other, and then laughed, Zhang Wangbin looked at the four of them meaningfully, and said: "I have leaked the secret of heaven in the next, I am afraid that I will suffer from the curse of heaven, and there may be a big disaster recently." ”

"Ziyu, you are really humorous and witty, and tears of laughter come out...... Hahaha......"

The four of them just stopped laughing, and when they saw Zhang Bin's serious appearance, they couldn't help but laugh wildly again.

At this time, officials from the Ministry of Officials and Officials of the Ministry of Rites came to the door and sent Zhang Bin's official uniforms, official cards and other physical evidence.

Under the envy of several people, Zhang Bin opened it on the spot, but it was actually just a small scroll one foot wide.

As far as Zhang Bin knows, the official products are different, the size of the body, the materials used, and even the color are different.

For example, the announcement of the Governor and the Deputy Privy Council is made of five-color silk paper, with rhino horn as the axis, colored silk tie, and covered by purple silk mesh, and finally wrapped in a good cloud brocade cloth bag.

The Qipinsan official in Zhang Bin's hand is stacked with small pieces of paper of good quality, with willow wood as the shaft, and packed in an ordinary brocade bag.

But it is such a thing, how many people spend their lives, try their best, and work hard all their lives to obtain it.

Cai Jing was okay, his expression was calm, and he was obviously very confident that he would be able to take the imperial examination for high school and be promoted in his career, but Su Guo, Sun Guodong and Zhang Santao were envious.

The four of them knew that Zhang Bin was going to visit Wang Anshi in the evening, and they wanted to leave time to sober up and dissipate the smell of wine, and after sitting for a while, the five of them made an appointment for the next time they got together, and then said goodbye and left.

………

………

After convening Lu Huiqing, Xue Xiang, Zhang Dan, and Zeng Bu last night to discuss the content of the dialogue between Zhang Bin and the Son of Heaven, Wang Anshi entered the palace early the next morning.

Just discussed with the Son of Heaven for more than two hours, and after coming out of the Chongzheng Palace, Wang Anshi's expression was extremely complicated.

Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, told Wang Anshi about Zhang Bin's statement that he could get two million yuan for the imperial court in a month, but this premise was to directly abolish the equalization law.

Not to mention the feasibility and reliability of the so-called 'auction bidding' method mentioned by Zhang Bin, just letting the law of equal loss be abolished directly makes it difficult for Wang Anshi to accept.

At this time, when he came out of the palace, it was not yet time to go down, and Wang Anshi had to return to the political hall first.

It's just that as soon as he came back, Zeng Bu rushed over and said with a solemn expression: "Xianggong, the lower officials have inquired, that Zhang Bin only visited his uncle Zhang Jian's family after coming to the capital, and Zhang Jian's house strongly opposed Xianggong's change of law, he is a member of the old party, and Zhang Bin is obviously also the old party." ”
