Spring is fleeting, and the years are in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the blink of an eye, April is over, and most of the spring flowers have withered, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people of Tokyo, and the day of the Jinmei Chishui military academy parade in April was getting closer and closer. Once a year, only on this day can the common people have the opportunity to enter the royal garden, which is naturally particularly expected and cherished.

Similarly, Xue Zong has been waiting for a long time, and the Xue family's series of delicacies have a good chance to become an instant hit, so he naturally cares about it.

According to the custom, on this day, some temporary bamboo sheds will be erected by the Jinming Pond, and some merchants will be allowed to come to sell food and handicrafts.

The number of stalls is limited, so naturally only a part of the merchants can be allowed to enter, who is qualified and who is not...... This matter, Xue Zong was still a little difficult.

But after the recruitment results of the Simen Pavilion were released, Li Zheng personally went to Kaifeng Mansion and directly helped the Xue family complete the relevant procedures.

There is no other reason, Xue Zong is at the top of the list of recruits of the Four Gates!

For Xue Zong, this result is reasonable, Su Laoquan's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" can be regarded as a famous article through the ages, favored by the examiner, and it is not a problem to pass the exam.

It's just that I didn't expect to be at the top of the list, which is somewhat unexpected, at least I didn't have the psychological preparation to become the top of the list, and I can't help but feel a little rushed and sudden.

Well, there was nothing bad about it, at least the old grandmother was very happy.

Since I heard that Xue Zong became the top of the list, the old grandmother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth directly, originally Xue Zong said that there was no problem, she still had doubts, but she didn't expect it to be so good.

This result is really gratifying, the old grandmother even said that it was the blessing of the ancestors, as for why the grandson's talent was inexplicably outstanding to such a point, her suspicions were only fleeting, and she did not take it to heart.

Or that sentence, who doesn't want their grandson to have a good future? As long as the grandson is excellent, does it matter what the reason is? Is it still necessary to get to the bottom of it?

Sun Tzu entered the Simen Pavilion with such excellent results, and the future can really be looked forward to! If there is an opportunity in the future, maybe you will be able to roll call the champion outside the Donghua Gate.

Although the ancestors of the Xue family started by military exploits, the ancestor Xue Li was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he was wise and immortal.

But the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and his son worked hard in the forbidden army for so long, but there was no progress, and in the Great Song Dynasty, the martial artists had no status and future at all. The son did nothing for half of his life, and in the end, he unfortunately lost his life, and his bones were gone.

Now that the grandson can enter the Simen Pavilion, study hard, and take the Jinshi exam in the future, it is better to glorify the ancestors.

In addition, there is another benefit that I never thought of, that is, the attitude of the officials in Lizheng and even Kaifeng Prefecture has changed significantly.

Simenguan recruitment, although it is not the Jinshi Emperor List, but Simenguan is a similar institution of higher learning to Guozijian, and the first batch of top students is undoubtedly a young talent with outstanding talent and a bright future.

Such a character, even if he is not in a hurry, he has to be polite, and he has to do his best to give some convenience. In a few years, if Xue Zong can go to high school, it will be considered a good relationship early, otherwise it will not be easy to meet in the future.

This result can be regarded as a great joy, and Xue Zong immediately mobilized all the households in Wuliu Lane and began to make corresponding preparations.

With the previous experience of making money, coupled with Xue Zong's "high school" this time, everyone in Wuliu Lane trusted Xue Zong very much, and praised Brother Zong for his ability and great future.

Xue Zong's orders were naturally carried out to the letter, just waiting for an instant hit, becoming famous in Tokyo, making more money, and living a better life.

As the day of Jin Mingchi's school parade is approaching, everyone's mood is becoming more and more urgent.

……

There was jubilation in Wuliu Lane, and the atmosphere in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty was also eased a lot.

The final negotiations with the Western Xia made significant progress, and the final result was that the Great Song Dynasty only needed to pay - 50,000 taels of silver, 50,000 horses of silk, and 30,000 catties of tea.

This result is only three or four percent of the previous amount, and in the temporary environment, the annual gift will definitely exist, and it is already very good to have such a result.

Saving money is also a rare strength in front of the West Thief.

After the amount was determined, the three divisions breathed a sigh of relief, and the idea of a large amount of money was barely scratched by the Song Dynasty's treasury.

At the same time, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi's composure and strong spirit have also spread, and they can even be called good stories, which have been talked about by the government and the opposition and the people of Tokyo who have known the news for a long time.

What the Great Song Dynasty needs is such an official, who can kill thieves on the front line to defend, and who can speak like a river in the court, forcing the western thieves to give in and raise the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the serious prime ministers Yan Shu, Zhang Dexiang and Jia Changchao, their faces are naturally gloomy, and it is good that they are not said to have lost power and humiliated the country.

All in all, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were in the limelight for a while, and even showed their faces with Ouyang Xiu for a while. But in the final analysis, it seems to be inseparable from the examination paper of "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms".

"Thanks to Uncle Yong for recommending that article in time." When the three met in the palace, Fan Zhongyan hurriedly thanked him.

Ouyang Xiu arched his hand and said: "Where, it is natural to admonish the country, and as for that article, it can be regarded as a coincidence." ”

"By the way, what about the student?"

"I've been recruited by the Four Gate Pavilion."

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Uncle Yong for getting a good disciple, this son is a material that can be made, and he will be able to be a pillar of the country in the future." ”

"It's really a good seedling, and the whole of the Simen Pavilion will do their best." Ouyang Xiu chuckled, and then sighed: "It's just that I'm afraid I have offended a lot of people this time, and the future of this son ......."

Xue Zong's article was the fuse, which did cause many people to be unhappy, and it is not surprising that a small belly has a grudge. Even if the top is silent, there will be small self-righteousness below, and it is normal to deliberately make things difficult to curry favor with them.

When Han Qi heard this, he immediately said: "If there is such a situation, I, Han Qi, will be the first to refuse." ”

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu glanced at each other and understood that although the court had never blamed the battle of Haoshuichuan, Han Qi still felt guilty.

Xue Zong, as the orphan of the martyrs who died in Haoshuichuan, Han Qi touched the scene, and he had to take more pictures.

"When you have the opportunity, you really want to meet this son." Fan Zhongyan seemed to be interested in Xue Zong.

Ouyang Xiu also said: "Yes, although I have been recruited, I have never started classes, and I have not seen it yet." ”

……

In the vertical arch hall of the palace, the official Zhao Zhen was also chattering.

"Eighth Uncle, this result is not bad, right?"

"This is already commendable, Han Fan and the others have a lot of credit!" The person who spoke was an old man in his sixtieth year, with luxurious clothes, jade belts and gold buckles, and a gold crown on his head, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Zhao Zhen, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, was polite to him and respectfully called him the eighth uncle, which shows his identity.

He is the ambassador of Jingnan and Huainan Jiedu, the pastor of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the Shangshu Order and the Zhongshu Order, and the King of Jing, Zhao Yuanyan.

The title is very long, the focus is on the end, care about his name, Zhao Yuanyan is the eighth son of Emperor Taizong, the uncle of Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because of the eighth ranking, it is known as the Eight Kings.

The famous Eight Sages in Romance is said to be based on Zhao Defang, the son of Taizu, but it is inevitably a bit far-fetched and over-interpreted, and the serious prototype should be this Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan.

As the only living son of Emperor Taizong, Zhao Yuanyan's status as an imperial uncle is not trivial, and his status in the court can be called transcendent, and he enjoys the treatment of "entering the court". Although he has no real power, he has a respected position, and sometimes a word may be more effective than the prime minister.

Today, Zhao Yuanyan entered the palace, and Zhao Zhen talked to him about the recent affairs of the court, because of some reasons that are not humane, the official family has complete trust and respect for this imperial uncle.

"Yes, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan have made meritorious contributions." Zhao Zhen sighed lightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Yuanyan said leisurely: "I heard that this matter is somewhat related to an article called "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms", which was written by the candidates of the Four Gate Pavilion? ”

"That's true!" Zhao Zhen said: "Originally, I also doubted that someone would catch a knife and ghostwrite, but when I went to Huiling to watch the little sister that day, I didn't want to hear the name of this son." ”

After Zhao Zhen described what he heard, Zhao Yuanyan sighed: "It shouldn't be wrong to say this, this Xue Zong may really be a talent." ”

"Talent is good, what Da Song lacks now is talent." Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, his eyes moved, and his thoughts seemed to be very deep.

Zhao Yuanyan saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, his identity, sometimes silence is necessary.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Eighth uncle, if you are free, you should go to the Huiling Temple more often, and help me persuade my little sister, if you speak, she may be able to listen......

"Alas! Zhichong, this child, really hurt her. Zhao Yuanyan sighed lightly, and seemed to be very sorry.

Zhao Zhen was even more sad, and said softly: "Now that I am like this, I will go underground in the future, how can I explain to my father and little mother?" At the beginning, it was the eldest mother and the Guo family who were ashamed of her, and I deeply regretted it.

Now I only hope that she will get out as soon as possible, be able to live happily, and it is best to marry a wishful husband, but it is a pity that I can persuade her in every way to no avail, and I can't use force, so I can only ask the eighth uncle to come forward. ”

"Don't worry, the old minister will do his best." Zhao Yuanyan nodded and said, "That's it, Jin Mingchi's review is approaching, and when the time comes, I'll take Zhi Chong to relax!" ”

Zhao Zhen said with a happy face: "It's so good, there is Uncle Lao!" ”
