Faced with Fu Bi's invitation, Liu Ming readily agreed. He was just a little worried about the family who was still in the inn, so he offered to ask Fu Bi to help send someone to deliver a letter to inform his family that everything was fine.

After everything was ready, Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan, as well as General Hu, who had pretended to be a butcher before, boarded a boat with Liu Ming for a trip.

At this time, Liu Ming still didn't know that what was walking with him was a generation of famous ministers who made the governors of the prefectures and the officials of the Beijing Department look forward.

Everyone set off by boat, and soon entered the Qutang Gorge, the water was turbulent, and the white waves were raised. This lonely boat galloped out like an arrow from the string.

Standing at the bow of the boat, General Tiger saw that the boat was too fast and was worried about the turbulence in the boat, so he gestured to the boatman to slow down.

At this time, Fu Bi held on to the side of the boat and told Liu Ming loudly that there was Dongting Lake in front of him.

Liu Ming saw the wind and waves blowing in his face, quite like the feeling of taking a speedboat on vacation before, not only was he not afraid, but he was a little excited, remembering the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi, and said loudly:

"Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail on the silver plate."

Fu Bi laughed and said to the tiger general at the bow of the boat: "The general is still worried that Xie Yuanlang is afraid, you see, Xie Yuanlang is like a tiger in anger, and Shixing is hanged." Xie Yuanlang, let me ask you, do you have anyone you admire today? ”

Liu Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Closer, Lord Wang Su, the governor of Qingzhou, and far away, Lord Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister who is worried about the country and the people." ”

When Fu Bi heard this, he was happy, and he was about to say that this Fan Gong was by your side, but Fan Zhong gave him a look, and then closed his mouth.

General Hu was also happy, and he asked: "Liu Juren, Fan Gong is no longer the governor (deputy prime minister), and the current prime minister is a huge person. ”

Liu Ming raised his head: "There are so many prime ministers through the ages, but they are not afraid of broken bones, how many people want to leave their innocence in the world?" This Fan Gong is one. ”

Liu Ming admired Fan Zhongyan's personality and integrity from the bottom of his heart, but he never imagined that he could meet him. For him, it's all about fate. Just when someone asks about this topic, I will share my thoughts and thoughts.

Fu Bi and General Tiger glanced at each other, wondering if this Liu Ming was too smart, or was his luck too good? If the other party intends to pat himself on the back, this method of compliment is really clever.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan sat quietly at the stern of the boat, although he was facing the mountain gorge and looked calm, his fingers trembled slightly.

The passenger boat rode the wind and waves, and sailed forward quickly, and the green mountains on both sides of the strait came out of each other, and the lonely sail came by the sun.

Soon, the wooden boat arrived at a pier, Fan Zhongyan and others got off the boat successively, and walked forward, not far away, only to see a majestic ancient building standing in front, flying eaves and arches, and the "heavenly pillars" of four nanmu trees went straight to the third floor from the first floor.

When Fan Zhongyan saw this majestic ancient building, he was in a good mood, and he walked vigorously and climbed up the ninety steps.

Liu Ming in the back couldn't keep up. He looked at the back of Wen Lao Yuan with a little panting, and thought to himself, this Wen Lao, even if he is in good health, he can make Ling Bo take a slight step when he climbs the stairs with porridge and side dishes.

Not long in time, climb the ancient building, only to see the field of vision suddenly opened, the surrounding mountains are gorgeous, the clouds and mountains in the distance are covered with fog, it is really going to be at the top, a glance at the mountains.

Liu Ming held on to the carved railing, looking at the railing, the endless lake in the distance and the blue sky blended together, a piece of emptiness. He looked far away, thinking thoughtfully about something.

Seeing Liu Ming in a daze on the side, Fu Bi was worried about his future, so he leaned around Fan Zhongyan again, and continued to whisper: "Teacher, you are now idle in Yuezhou, and if you encounter such a manufacturable material, if you cultivate it carefully, you can send a pillar of talent to the imperial court." ”

Fan Zhongyan leaned on the railing and said unashamedly: "If it is really a manufacturable material, **, you don't have to be ordered by me, and you will naturally stand out." ”

The students disagreed with the teacher's words. Fu Bi took a breath and said boldly, "Jiang Wei, a famous general in Houshu, has the virtue of civil and military affairs, the strategy of the world, and the merits of Jiba, Han, and Shengchang Huaxia, and all of them are famous from far and near." However, in addition to his own efforts, it is inseparable from Zhuge Gong's careful guidance. Zhang Liang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, had rare ghost talents and helped Liu Bang pacify the world. However, he also relied on the bridge to meet Huang Shigong, and he was awarded the military certificate to truly become a generation of good talents. ”

Fu Bi turned sideways slightly, looked at Liu Ming who was looking at the railing, his eyes showed pity for talent, and whispered: "There is a way that jade is not cut and cannot be made, and people don't know if they don't learn." Although Liu Ming is talented, it would be a pity if he didn't have a good teacher to guide him. Could it be that the teacher is still depressed because he was degraded and refused to accept the apprentice? Seeing that Fan Zhongyan still insisted on his own view of accepting apprentices, he shook his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart that the teacher's standards for accepting apprentices were too strict.

After this village, there is no land. Fu Bi also began to worry about Liu Ming. He knew that the old man Fan Zhongyan, who had gone through several ups and downs, had already practiced a pampered and unfazed mentality, although this mentality was good, but it was also extremely difficult to be impressed. Although Fan Zhongyan admires Liu Ming, he cherishes his reputation very much, and he still has some concerns about accepting apprentices.

After all, Fan Zhongyan is a famous minister in the world, who has experienced wind and frost and blood and rain. It's hard to impress them without absolutely amazing talent.

At this time, the wind on the ancient building became stronger, blowing Liu Ming's green clothes fluttering. Fu Bi was puzzled for a while, walked up to Liu Ming's side, and said with a smile, "Liu Ming, what do you think of this building?" ”

"In my later years, I felt that this building was built with a magnificent atmosphere, red pillars and green tiles, and it was exquisite." Liu Ming replied.

"Well, the pavilion we are in here is called the Three Drunken Pavilion, and it is the most elegant pavilion on the upper floor of Yueyang. On weekdays, literati and ink writers who want to come here to enjoy the scenery will come to this pavilion. Fubi explained. He estimated that Chen Jiecai came to Yuezhou for the first time, and focused on the places of interest in Yuezhou.

"What are you talking about, Yueyang Tower?" Liu Ming's eyes widened.

"Yes, you've been here before?" Fu Bi asked.

Liu Ming thought to himself, all the students who have gone to middle school, who is not familiar with this Yueyang Tower. Unexpectedly, one day, I would have the opportunity to climb this building.

Liu Ming felt extremely nostalgic, and standing on such a high observation tower, he couldn't help but be arrogant, and shouted, "

"Yuguanfu Baling is victorious, in a lake in Dongting. Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, the endless horizon; The morning sun is cloudy, and the weather is myriad. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, and the predecessors have prepared it. However, the north leads to Wuxia, the South Pole Xiaoxiang, and the people who move to the house will be here, and the feeling of reading things is no different from ......"

Liu Ming's voice was strong and powerful, as if it had traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers and floated straight into the distance. He was full of pride and recited Fan Zhongyan's famous article. When I took the college entrance examination that year, I memorized this "The Story of Yueyang Tower" more than 100 times, and I was very ripe.

At this time, Liu Ming didn't know that Fan Zhongyan was by his side. Moreover, this masterpiece has not yet been created.

When General Tiger heard Liu Ming reciting, he poked Fu Bi beside him with his elbow and asked, "Rich bachelor, you are rich in five cars." Liu Xianggong read this poem, it sounds heroic and eternal, whose code is it used? ”

Fu Bi pricked up his ears, and after listening carefully to two sentences, he was surprised: "What kind of dictionary is this?" People are exporting chapters, freshly made! ”

As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Fu Bi is naturally a leader in the knowledge of this dynasty, but he still feels that this article is magnificent, solemn and elegant, and it is really a rare masterpiece.

"Whew! To taste the heart of the ancient benevolence, or to do something different. Why? Liu Minglang read loudly and paused.

With this pause, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi, the two wise men, also entered into thinking at the same time, because Liu Ming's words were obviously questioning. His words have been said just now, and when the lewd rain is gone, he can't help but feel sad. And on the day of spring and Jingming, I was very happy. This is a normal emotion, but this Liu Ming said that the mentality of the ancient sages is not these two emotions.

So what did the ancient sages pursue?

Fu Bi felt ashamed of himself, he had been in politics for more than 20 years, but he couldn't answer this scholar's question for a while.

On the side, Fan Zhongyan frowned slightly, and also fell into deep thought.

Liu Ming didn't know at this time that the two court officials behind him were already thinking deeply about his words.

Facing the strange landscape of Yueyang Tower, Liu Ming was in high spirits and said loudly: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; The height of the temple is worried about the people; Far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about it. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must be said, 'The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world'? ”

Liu Ming finished reading it in one breath, expressing his chest directly, and he also felt that his realm had been broadened a lot.

And behind him, an expression of half horror and half ecstasy appeared on the face of Fu Bi, a Hanlin scholar, as if a person who had been enlightened for many years had obtained the method of seeking immortals. Fu Bi suddenly felt that the confusion of the previous years was completely empowered by Liu Ming's poem.

He couldn't believe that this old feeling of vicissitudes came from such a young person.

When Fu Bi lowered his head and sighed, he suddenly saw a few drops of water stains on the ground.

It's not raining that day, is it?

He said strangely, he turned sideways, but saw that the old man Fan Zhongyan beside him had already hidden his face and wept, and the old tears were all over the place.

Fan Zhongyan has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and over the years, he has always excavated and summarized the philosophy and moral standards of a scholar. As the founder of Song Xueshan and the leader of Shilin, he devoted his life to preaching and teaching.

Although he had never heard of this poem recited by Liu Ming, he felt very kind. In particular, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world are completely consistent with the ideas accumulated over the years in their hearts.

The song is high and low, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend.

Fan Zhongyan, who was lonely and drifting in the wind and rain, suddenly saw a young posterior who read his heart, how could he not feel excited?

Lang said that he had divided Bao Shujin, who could distinguish Boyaqin.

The deal is as good as a ghost, and the lake, sea and air are hanging in the heart.

Fan Zhongyan, who was in the whirlpool, as the leader of Qingliu, how could he not feel that it was difficult to find a soulmate? Even Fu Bi, his ally Ouyang Xiu, sometimes failed to solve his worries.

Fan Zhongyan's eyes were moist, he took a long breath, and sighed that God favored him, and finally someone could understand his own thoughts.

"Elder Wen, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ming saw that he had memorized a text, so he made the two court officials behind him cry, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't be old, be old." Fu Bi couldn't help but say, "Do you know who he is?" He is Fan Gong, the minister of the current imperial court! ”

Fan Zhongyan ...... Fan-sama? Liu Ming's eyes showed shock and surprise. He never thought that he, a simple fish seller, would be Fan Zhongyan, who had caused a huge storm and dominated the Qingli New Deal?

Even if he lived in the same era as Fan Zhongyan, he never dared to expect to meet Fan Zhongyan. After all, the Great Song Dynasty has a population of several million, and Fan Zhongyan is at the top of the pyramid, and he has no intersection with him, a commoner......

But now, people are standing in front of their eyes.

Fu Bi took the opportunity to say: "Liu Ming, you are really a lucky person. Fan Gong wants to accept you as a protégé, but you still don't kneel down to worship your teacher? ”

Although Fan Zhongyan did not speak, Fu Bi was already ninety percent sure in his heart.

The person who can make this statement is undoubtedly a great talent today. With such a talent, why should your teacher not accept it?

"Huh?" Liu Ming was surprised. He blushed a little, and when he thought about it, he had just read this poem, could it be......

I'm so lucky.

Fan Zhongyan wiped away the tears on his face, hugged Liu Ming with both hands, and said very excitedly: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and heroes have been young since ancient times." Liu Ming, if you are willing, the old man is willing to carefully guide you all the things you have learned in your life. ”

Liu Ming was greatly moved, he had already admired Fan Zhongyan for a long time, so he immediately knelt down and said: "The wind of the gentleman, the mountains are high and the waters are long. Famous far and wide, known all over the world. Student He De how can he ......" After that, Liu Ming was also very excited.

An ancient sage like Fan Zhongyan, even if Liu Ming was able to say a few words to the other party, he felt extremely honored. What's more, the other party is willing to take him as a disciple......

Fan Zhongyan was also very excited, and he said with tears in his eyes: "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." Today, the Western Xia of the Liao State is eyeing the tiger, and it is the time for the imperial court to employ people. If you concentrate on your hard work, you will surely become a great person in the future. ”

Fu Bi was infected, his eyes were red, and he didn't care about his image, he hugged Liu Ming eagerly, and sighed loudly: "I have more junior disciples in the same sect, it's really fast, fast!" ”

Seeing this, General Tiger smiled slightly, couldn't bear to disturb, and consciously walked into the distance, guarding the door of the Three Drunken Pavilion. He looked at the yellow leaves of the mountains from afar, and suddenly felt that today's scene was particularly beautiful...... (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
