"Brother Xue can be appreciated by Mr. Ouyang, if he is lucky enough to become his senior disciple, it is really fortunate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, you have gained knowledge and gained a good name, the best of both worlds."

"Mr. Ouyang is outstanding in learning, maybe in a few years, when the imperial examination is held, there is a possibility of serving as the chief examiner, and then Brother Xue will ...... Ah, ha, huh? ”

This thing seems to be really possible, and other Xue Zong is not sure, but this one feels that it is very likely.

I read an article before, which seems to say that Su Shi wrote a very good article during the imperial examination, and he deserves to be the champion.

But after Ouyang Xiu, who was the chief examiner, saw it, he thought it was his student Zeng Gong's test paper, and he was afraid that others would say that he was favoritism, so that Su Shi lost the champion.

There is no way to verify the truth of this kind of erroneous story, but Ouyang Xiu should be the chief examiner of the imperial examination, but as his student, he really can't take advantage of it.

Although Xue Zong himself did not want to be Su Shi's second, in the No. 1 class of the Son of Heaven, many people were envious of Xue Zong.

"Not only that, you all know what happened yesterday, Mr. Ouyang is not what it used to be." Someone coldly came up with a sentence, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What happened yesterday?"

Many people either didn't pay attention, or they went to the wind and snow last night and didn't have time to pay attention, and most of them didn't know it clearly.

Xue Zong also pricked up his ears, at this stage, he does have the problem of backward information in this regard, and the commoners' homes are naturally not as well-informed as these noble officials and eunuchs.

I only heard a certain official eunuch say: "I overheard the conversation between my father and brother last night, and I heard that the official family reused Fan Xianggong, Han Xianggong and Mr. Yanguo (Fu Bi), and also appointed several Taiwanese officials, among which Mr. Ouyang was the head.

Moreover, Mr. Ouyang is now serving as the intellectual system in the center, and the intellectual system, do you think about it? ”

Zhi Zhi is responsible for helping the emperor draft the edict, this Xue Zong knows.

Among them, the power and status can be imagined, and he can definitely be called the emperor's cronies, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven.

No wonder they say that Ouyang Xiu is not what he used to be, and if he holds this position, he is not simply a counselor, he can be said to be a serious minister in the central place.

In this way, it seems to be a great thing to be favored by Ouyang Xiu and maintain a close relationship with him, and the words "bright future" are not too much.

However, the official eunuch continued: "Listen to my father's meaning, it is the official family that wants to implement a new policy, so these people are reused...... Mr. Ouyang said that the officials are working hard, and the need for talents in the Great Song Dynasty may be referring to this matter. ”

New?!

Xue Zong suddenly had a thrill, and four words suddenly popped up in his mind - Qingli New Deal.

This is so famous, it has been specifically emphasized in the history books, and now it is the third year of Qingli, and Fan Zhongyan is the governor of the dynasty.

In this way, now that the new policy has begun?

Listening to the meaning of the words of these eunuchs and nobles, it seems that the Qingli New Deal is headed by Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu is also involved.

At the same time that Xue Zong's heart was transparent, Lu Gongru, who had always been disdainful, also reacted at once, no wonder the study was brightly lit last night, and his father didn't sleep late at night, it turned out that something really happened.

New? What the hell is the new law? What is the attitude of the father? Lu Gongru began to speculate in his heart.

As for Xue Zong, he didn't pay attention to it at all, what was it to be favored by an intellectual? Don't forget that you are the son of the prime minister's family, how can he be compared?

But others are different, there is a humane over there: "Brother Xue, Mr. Ouyang is now in a high position, if you worship under his door, it will definitely be of great benefit." ”

"Yes, Mr. Ouyang seems to have high hopes for you, hoping that you will become the follow-up pillar of the New Deal!"

"I heard that Brother Xue's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" is famous in Tokyo, and it seems that Fan Xianggong is full of praise after reading it, so Brother Xue really has a great future."

Huge yarn!

After figuring out the situation, this was Xue Zong's first reaction.

The reason is simple, the historical "Qingli New Deal" ended in failure.

Therefore, Fan Zhongyan has the feeling of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", so he has it: the high temple is worried about its people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about its king.

It was precisely because of this incident that Ouyang Xiu was relegated to Chuzhou, built a pavilion on the mountain, and wrote a very famous sentence: The drunkard does not mean to drink!

The time will not be very long, in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing should rebuild Yueyang Tower, so will Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" be far away?

In this way, the Qingli New Deal will not last long, so what good thing can it be mixed in?

And Ouyang Xiu looks at the scenery now, but this scenery doesn't seem to last long, so is it a good thing to be favored and appreciated by him?

There's nothing wrong with appreciation, but it's embarrassing to be his student, or to be close to him.

After all, in this era, once such a thing as the failure of the New Deal happens, the consequences are self-evident, and it is almost inevitable to be implicated, and the relationship between teachers and students is particularly sensitive.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was relatively gentle, it would not be like the Han and Tang dynasties, as long as they failed, they would have to pay the price of their lives and even their families.

Rao is like this, and it is not good to be belittled or otherwise implicated.

Of course, the derogatory may only be temporary.

Ouyang Xiu was also transferred back to Tokyo later, and it seems that he also served as the governor of the council, not to mention Han Qi and Fu Bi, both of whom were later prime ministers and important ministers of the country. Only Fan Zhongyan was unlucky, and he died in office within a few years, and he couldn't wait for the opportunity to recover.

But Xue Zong didn't want to be like this, when he was a teenager and had a bright future, why did he have to wade into this troubled water and take so many detours? The old grandmother in the family is old, and the younger sister is still young, so it is even worse for them to be afraid.

In the long run, it is not a good thing, you must know that the failure of the Qingli New Deal is to damage the interests of the dignitaries in power. These people are deeply rooted in the Great Song Dynasty and have huge power, what good is it to offend them?

Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and the others are now big trees with lush leaves, they can not care about the storm, and they can continue to grow into towering trees after they survive it. But now he is just a young sapling, which can be broken by a slight gust of wind.

This risk is not something he can bear at all, so Ouyang Xiu's kindness can only be understood, and the Qingli New Deal must also be avoided and cannot be easily mixed.

After all, he is still young now, just an ordinary student in the Simen Pavilion, and it is reasonable not to participate in such important affairs of the imperial court.

It's always right to abide by your duty, and presumably Ouyang Xiu won't have any complaints......
