On Ouyang Xiu's house, the building is wide, the spring breeze is everywhere, the flowers and rain are flying, and the wisps of pipes are splendid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A beautiful and graceful handmaiden, leaning on the cold jade case, and Chai Lin, who was scratching his ears and cheeks opposite, was playing Go.

Fang Zhongyong was quietly led by Ouyang Xiu to the bamboo forest on the side from a beautiful spring light, and said things with a serious face.

"Recently, Lu Yijian's subordinates have been investigating the matter of you and Chai Lin, and they have been discovered by our people," Ouyang Xiu said softly while looking at the sparse bamboo next to him, while arranging the three wine glasses and a self-poured wine jug on the stone table:

"How Chai Lin was raised, no matter what, they can't find evidence, and Chai Lin has resigned, so it must not be very important. But in the future, you must be careful. ”

Fang Zhongyong was a little bit at a loss for the second monk, and hesitated a little before replying: "Yes." It's just that I don't know why the dignified Prime Minister Lu suddenly set his sights on this small role? ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled, picked up the self-poured pot at hand, poured a glass of wine, and poured himself a drink: "This matter, I found a friend today and wanted to explain the situation to you." Don't worry, after this flute is blown, he will come. ”

Uh, a good way to appear, and it also comes with a musical effect? Who is it? Fang Zhongyong wondered and guessed Ouyang Xiu's friends from his youth, but he didn't expect it.

Finally, after a long time, the tall and thin young man who came over, looking the same as Ouyang Xiu, was also in his thirties, wearing a homely jujube red silk shirt, tied with a jade belt, and soap boots under his feet, very neat.

"Come on, let's introduce, this is Lord Fu Bi Fu," Ouyang Xiu got up, stood between Fang Zhongyong and Fu Bi, first to Fu Bi, and then to Fang Zhongyong:

"This is Fang Zhongyong, Xie Yuanlang from Jiangnan West Road in last year's township test, and now, he has gone to Taixue to report."

"Yes." Fang Zhongyong saluted respectfully.

"Lord Fu Bifu's current dispatch is in the Zhiyuan to supervise the situation of hundreds of officials. Lu Yijian and those people are tired, he knows best," Ouyang Xiu continued: "Come on, sit down and talk." ”

Ouyang Xiu said, picked up the wine jug, and filled the silver cup in front of the three of them with wine.

Fu Bi hesitated slightly, as if he didn't like to drink, but he didn't refuse.

He took a look at Fang Zhongyong, and saw that this young man's demeanor was calm and magnificent, and his appearance was handsome, not at all like behind those burlesque books, the image of the clown in his mind, and heard that it was Jiangnan West Road, which was full of talents, and Xie Yuanlang, who was fighting hard, suddenly swished with favorability.

So he was very polite and concerned, and explained some of Lu Yijian's recent actions to Fang Zhongyong one by one.

"Lu Yijian's brother-in-law is the general manager of the government-run printing office. All year round, all the drama scripts that allude to Lu Yijian's party were originally suppressed and not printed.

Now, your Yue Wenzhai came out of nowhere, robbed them of their business, and came up with a lot of scripts that they didn't want to appear, alluding to their drama books, so he moved this idea. ”

After Fu Bi finished talking about the matter, he began to talk about the cause and effect of the matter, and how he found out.

Fang Zhongyong always listened respectfully, not arrogant or impatient, at such a big moment, he couldn't see a trace of waves on his face.

That kind of gentle as jade, the unique demeanor of a humble gentleman, in this young fifteen-year-old boy, seems to be engraved in his bones. This made Fu Bi and Ouyang Xiu have another good impression of him.

Of course, what they didn't know was that at this time, Fang Zhongyong's heart was reviewing the most gossip in Fu Bi's story.

Fu Bi is undoubtedly a famous minister all over the world, but compared with his father-in-law, the veteran prodigy, Yan Shu, who also ruled the world, his name is much smaller in the history of literature and in the perception of later generations.

There is no way, the Song Dynasty was at its peak, so literary celebrities are always better than historical celebrities.

Yan Shu is a person who loves talents very much, but he is very conservative, and now he is presiding over the Hanlin Academy, and his subordinates are also full of talents. Because of his love for talent, it was natural that when he caught his son-in-law under the list that followed the trend, he caught the son-in-law of Fu Bi, a great talent, at a glance.

However, the pair of Weng sons-in-law have loved and killed each other all their lives, and they belong to the contestants who have never been able to pee in a pot of political opinions.

In the first forty years of Fu Bi's life, he was a New Deal reformer, and like Ouyang Xiu, he was also a little fan of Fan Zhongyan.

The son-in-law of the reformers naturally looks down on the father-in-law of the conservatives, and the father-in-law of the conservatives is also because of such a son-in-law of the reformers, and the two sides are not people.

"You don't have to worry," Fu Bi said those words, and suddenly seemed to comfort Fang Zhongyong, and said with a gentle smile:

"Before Fan Zhongyan and Fan Xianggong left, I told Wang Zeng and I to take good care of you. Wang Xianggong said that he has seen your river management strategy and understands very well why Fan Xianggong attaches so much importance to you. ”

"What Fu Bi said is that I think the same way. Zhongyong, you see, in the Zaizhi group, there is Wang Zeng and Wang Xianggong; Among the Taiwanese officials, there are rich and rich adults; On the side of Hanlin Academy, there is me Ouyang Xiu.

Therefore, no matter what happens to the gang of people under Lu Yijian next, as long as you don't make any more mistakes. Hello, the student is preparing to take the exam, and the top student will come out, which is not in vain Fan Xianggong is so optimistic about you. ”

The visitor didn't drink, but Ouyang Xiu himself drank a lot of cups, and said these serious words while drinking, if this happened to someone else, it must be quite funny, but in his drunken Ouyang Xiu, it was rare, and there was no sense of disobedience.

However, in Fang Zhongyong's thinking, as far as the current situation is concerned, in fact, Ouyang Xiu is a little optimistic.

Being targeted by Lu Yijian is indeed a tricky thing in itself.

Lu Yijian is in the Renzong Dynasty, can be called the first master of playing politics, whether it is the Empress Dowager Liu E in power, or Zhao Zhen in power, whether Fan Zhongyan came to power or stepped down, whether it was the defeat of Song Xia or the exchange of blood in the court,

In Lu Yijian's lifetime, he has always stood tall, and the only two strikes were just episodes, but after a year or two, he regained his phase again.

Such a person, once he finds out that Chai Lin's win is the gunman made by him Fang Zhongyong, then pull Chai Lin out and retake the test every minute, Chai Lin's original form is revealed, and then kill Fang Zhongyong by touching the vine, so that he will never be able to gain fame, and it is not something that Lu Yijian can't do.

This situation is a tricky thing for any student who prepares for the exam.

However, Fang Zhongyong was not very worried in his heart.

That's because, if he remembers correctly, then it was in this year, just a few months after Fan Zhongyan left, the old Zaizhi Wang, who had been holding himself back, suddenly broke out, and he and Lu Yijian were in the political hall, openly arguing incompatibly, which triggered a collective big mouth battle among the Zaizhi team.

As a result, the entire ruling team collectively dismissed the prime minister, and the more mediocre and greedy "old man's group" ruling team came to power than the current ruling team.

The examination of that year was turned into a farce in which the Son of Heaven was so angry that all the Jinshi who had a relationship with the people in the "old people's group" were abolished because of interpersonal nepotism.

Therefore, in the eyes of Fu Bi and Ouyang Xiu, Fang Zhongyong's indifferent heart and gentlemanly sentiment beyond his age are actually just because he understands that in history, Lu Yijian's second strike is close at hand.
