"The excerpt is well written. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Renzong tapped the fold in his hand lightly on the table.

"Your Majesty's praise."

"You're modest." Renzong smiled, "Tell me, what reward do you want?" ”

Renzong asked casually, but Gu Yan didn't dare to answer casually, not to mention that he already had a plan in his heart. Lowered his head at the moment: "The ancestral home of the minister was Yangzhou, moved to Changzhou, and the tombs of his parents were buried in Changzhou. Now that His Majesty has not given up and has been able to serve in the court, I want to go back to Changzhou and move my parents back to Yangzhou. ”

"You have filial piety." Renzong muttered, "This is not a reward, you go back and wait to listen to the order." When Gu Yan heard this, he was about to withdraw from the hall, but he heard Renzong say again: "Although there has been a palace report before, the scale of this one you proposed is larger, and you have to allocate other local people...... The princess of the kingdom of Gon has already made a family appointment, and in another month, it will be the day of the fall, and you will see this excitement before leaving. ”

Gu Yan waited a little longer, and saw that Renzong really had nothing to say, so he withdrew from the hall.

Renzong saw Gu Yan leave, and said to the attendant next to him: "Go to the secret pavilion to find that ...... Lin Zi returned. ”

Lin Zhi has stayed in the Secret Pavilion for a long time, but it is easy to find. Not long after, Lin Zhi came to the palace.

Renzong looked at Lin Zhi silently. It's true that I haven't seen him for a long time. Seeing that he was polite, his face was a little cold. Renzong remembered what happened when he was a child, but he didn't get angry, he just smiled and asked, "I remember that you have been staying in the Secret Pavilion for so many years, and the last time I saw you, you said that you should stay in the Secret Pavilion all the time...... Have you finished reading all the books in the Secret Chamber? ”

"As for the books alone, there are still twenty-eight books in the cabinet, a total of 182 volumes, that have not been read."

Renzong didn't expect him to answer in such detail, and said with a smile: "Only twenty-eight books have not been read? How can you remember the number of volumes so clearly? ”

"I doubled it all over and only turned a few pages before I continued reading." Lin Zhi's answer was blank and clear, but he was not modest.

"What is the matter of calling you over this time, you must have heard what Gu Yuzhi said, what do you think?"

"Yes." Lin Zhi didn't hesitate much and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty." ”

Only this sentence is quite simple. With such a narrow character, the popularity is not estimated to be much better. However, as long as such a person has the ability, he has the potential to become a direct minister and a pure minister. Renzong asked again: "Gu Yuzhi specially recommended you, and you are good friends with him." ”

"Okay."

Such a one-glance, seldom-worded, and indifferent answer made Renzong somewhat unhappy. Besides, this answer is too cold. Renzong didn't want to talk to him more: "You have been serving in the Secret Pavilion, your official position is not high, I heard that your life is quite hard, and now you are about to take up a new position, do you need any reward?" ”

Lin Zhi was silent for a while before he spoke: "No." ”

"Forget it, since you came to the capital, you haven't been home for a long time, Gu Yuzhi asked to go back to Changzhou, you can also go home and see, where is your hometown?"

"It's Fujian Road."

"If you are good friends with Gu Yu, you can go south together." Renzong rubbed his forehead, "You go down." ”

================================================================================================================================================================================================================

Gu Yan returned to the Secret Pavilion, the three Secret Pavilions were all in the Imperial City, and the news spread quickly. After a while, some people talked about the new newspaper, and some of them came purely to inquire about the news and judge Renzong's attitude and the prospects of this matter, and naturally there were also those who were vaguely dissatisfied with Gu Yan's recommendation of Lin Yi. Gu Yan's usual relationship was not bad, but he just smiled and dealt with them one by one. Only shirk the matter of running a newspaper, almost every day, burdensome, and the new establishment of this item, I don't know what level and what product, I really don't dare to take the liberty of recommending Yunyun, the Northern Song Dynasty officials are actually quite idle, rich in vacation. Hearing Gu Yan say this, the injustice in everyone's hearts slowly calmed down. What's more, Gu Yan didn't even do this ministry himself.

Renzong's efficiency is not slow, but in half a day, the holy decree came down, and after listening to a large number of rhetoric, he summed up that the real benefit is that he was given a hundred rewards and five fine brocades. Special gift of scarlet whitebait. Regardless of the reward for the time being, the scarlet silverfish is a hanging ornament that can only be worn above the fifth grade, and with Gu Yan's current identity, it can be regarded as a special favor. Since the holy decree was sent directly to the Secret Pavilion, naturally someone thanked Gu Yan again, and after some greetings, Gu Yan felt that his face was cramping with laughter.

Gu Yan's proposal to run a newspaper distributed to the prefecture and county for the people to read, although it was not as shocking as the political and military reform, but it did cause a lot of discussion.

At that moment, Ouyang Xiu talked about the matter with Fu Bi.

"In the end, it is a hero who comes out of a teenager." Fu Bi said with a smile, "Uncle Yong, there are many talents in this imperial examination you presided. ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled, his expression quite smug. Although in these years, Jinshi has become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but the examiner still has a relationship with the admitted Jinshi. Although the item proposed by Gu Yan will also be impeached by the imperial history, they all know that this article will not cause major opposition.

"But I didn't expect him to recommend Lin Zigui." Fu Bi said, "Although Lin Zi is worthy of responsibility, but ...... Uncle Yong thinks that Lin Zigui will take over? ”

"I think it's a good move." Ouyang Xiu smiled, "How many people have won the Jinshi now?" Even if he stayed in Beijing, his foundation was very shallow, and he was too young. This matter is new, and the grade of the person in charge should not be very high. Although the position of the secret pavilion is also the position of the pavilion, but there are some dragons and snakes mixed among them, if he selects one person at will, it is inevitable that some people will be resentful...... If Lin Zigui is returned, I think he will probably not be in office, so it is appropriate for both sides. Ouyang Xiu still didn't say a word, Gu Yuzhi recommended a figure like Lin Zhi, in the eyes of the official, he naturally felt that he recommended fairly, did not recommend people to be kind, and did not recommend people at will by hearsay.

"It's true that if you think about it, Lin Zigui only holds books all day long. Although it is too arrogant. But in the end, there is no serious position in his hands, and he has not really made enemies with others, if he really does this, he is more likely to be attacked, and he refuses, but he has a good reputation of not admiring Rongli. Fu Bi said, "The official family doesn't know what to think." So far, he has not been given a proper ministry. If this Gu Yan is ten years older, I would also like to recommend him for this new and meticulous mind. Pity! ”
