There is some difference between the Khitan people and the Central Plains people, although several envoys gradually got off the horseback, and somewhat retained some straightforward surnames, after hearing the words of the little emperor, several envoys had embarrassed expressions on their faces. Looking at their expressions, there are counts, Cheng Lin is right, it is really made by the Khitans.

Several people lowered their heads and wanted to laugh, but the matter was not only the script, but also the future arrangements, so they endured it.

Xiao Cha was embarrassed and said, "That...... Be. ”

I really can't steal anymore, since this kid has a heart for the Khitan, let him study with peace of mind, and become an official in the future, which will also be beneficial to the Khitans. After talking for a while, the four messengers retired.

Seeing them walking away, the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This smile finally brought a hint of joy at the end of the year, after half a year of turmoil.

…… This year, Zheng Lang was able to get his wish and see the prosperity of the Lantern Festival in Beijing.

So he deliberately hired a few carriages and went to Zhengzhou to pick up a few mothers.

The Lantern Festival mainly looks at the lantern market, it was originally three days, three years of rejuvenation, Qian Hongyu, the king of Wuyue, went to Tokyo to "Natu" to return to the Song Dynasty, increased by 178 days, that is, from the 14th day of the first month, until the end of the 18th.

Several mothers came a little early, and arrived in the capital on the eleventh day of the first month. The lamp market did not start, but Kaifeng Mansion had already twisted the mountain shed outside the Xuande Gate in Da Nei, and it was also possible to take a look.

First take a few niangniang to eat some snacks in the east of Zhouqiao Street, where the plum blossom buns in Wanglou Cave and Granny Cao's meatloaf are very famous. After eating, a few ladies smiled and shouted: "Delicious, delicious." ”

Delicious is delicious, but what is happy is not the food, but a piece of my son's heart. Change the samurai Saburo and their children, who come to Tokyo City to play, will they think about their parents? I didn't take a car, I crossed the state bridge and walked slowly, looking slowly. The Lantern Festival has not yet begun, but many artists have begun to gather on the promenades on both sides of the royal street, there are acrobatic magic performances, now it is not called magic, it is called illusion, and there are singing and dancing operas, which is very lively.

A few ladies are in a good mood, go all the way, and when they see a wonderful performance along the way, they will give a reward. But they're looking at others, and they're looking at them.

"Zheng Jieyuan is so filial, and in addition to studying, he also wants to take a few maidens to the capital to watch the market lights."

"What you said is nonsense, the Zheng family Xiaolang wants to enlighten and read the book of sages, how can he not be filial?"

"Alas, my children are also reading sages, why don't you fight?"

"Your child...... Go! Is it like? It's these girls who are so blessed. ”

"No, I've heard that his eldest mother is very good, if there is no eldest mother's teaching, how can Zheng Jieyuan get lost?"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Zheng Lang couldn't cry or laugh.

It is true that the eldest lady is very good, for example, several other mothers, except for the fourth mother, in that family, as soon as the husband dies, they will be driven away, or build a few small thatched sheds, just like Fan Zhongyan's mother in the Zhu family, you can live if you love it, and you can't stop pulling it down.

But if it weren't for himself, the Zheng family would have collapsed long ago. Another example is that the little emperor is very soft-hearted, so he ran to the palace and asked for tea and a seat, if it was Wu Zetian or Qin Shi Huang, would he dare? Look for death! That's why after the little emperor came to power, it was a mess in those years! Fortunately, I learned quickly, and gradually learned some power skills, so as not to miss too many state affairs.

Why is it that when people are soft, they are bullied by others? Zheng Lang can't figure it out!

When she came to the mountain shed, the eldest lady said, "It's so big." ”

"Auntie, the lights haven't been lit yet, a little light is called good-looking." Jiang Xing'er said sweetly.

The eldest mother looked at her head, then at her son, but she had a thought. Without that agreement, the son would have gotten married. The Zheng family is thin, how long will this be delayed? I want my son to have a round house with two little girls, but I don't dare. In case there is a child, it is a happy event, but what about the Cui family?

Erniang didn't know what the eldest lady was thinking, looked at the mountain shed, and said regretfully: "How much does it cost to spend in heaven?" ”

came out of a poor family, although after marrying into the Zheng family, life has been very simple, looking at this colorful lamp, my heart hurts.

"Heaven celebrates with the people, and it's worth spending some money." Zheng Lang said. At this time, without the pressure of Western Xia, the country's finances were not difficult, and if it was poor, it was so poor that only money remained. But in the hands of the little emperor, no matter how he governs, in the face of the huge military expenditure caused by the siege of Western Xia, even if he has money, the finances are gradually becoming difficult. In addition, Yingzong's big bastard made a fuss, so Shenzong came to power and checked the accounts of the inner library, and he was dumbfounded.

In fact, if several bigwigs listen to Zheng Lang's words, Li Yuanhao is only in power at this time, and Western Xia is unstable, if the arrangement is appropriate, there are many opportunities to nip this threat in the bud, at least it can reduce his harm. However, several bigwigs all thought that Zheng Lang was a roundabout statement.

It is rare for Zheng Jiazi to come up with this idea of dealing with the Khitans, but his views on the party are exaggerated. But it's not easy, after all, it's only fifteen or sixteen, isn't it?

Instead, I thought so.

Let Zheng Lang do? It's hard to pretend to be a god stick, even if you pretend to be a god stick, no one believes it! In this regard, Zheng Lang has no choice but to be a happy literati of the Song Dynasty with peace of mind.

At this moment, a young man with a thin face of twelve or thirteen years old ran up to him and asked, "Are you Zheng Jieyuan?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Lang looked at the young man curiously.

"I've read what you wrote."

"Well," Zheng Lang bowed, not too many people have read the articles he wrote, and it is not unusual for this young man to see it.

"I think there are some words in your article, as if they speak to my heart."

"Don't dare to be," Zheng Lang looked at his old appearance, and deliberately humbled with him.

"Can I learn from you?"

Zheng Lang couldn't help laughing, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. This teenager is not like other teenagers, he has a little fame, and children who are about the same age as him are always in awe when they see him, including the grandson of Liu Chu. But when this little child saw himself, he only had a serious attitude, but he did not have an expression of awe.

He gestured with his hand to his own head, and then to his head, and said, "Look at me, how old am I from you?" It's just the middle test, and the provincial test is not successful. If you don't learn well, how can you teach others to learn? ”

But it's not right, the master is the teacher, for example, Di Renjie is strictly speaking, Zhang Cambodia's teacher, how much older is Zhang Cambodia than Di Renjie? Later, he said that Di Renjie is full of peaches and plums all over the world, and Zhang Cambodia has to be obedient to make one of the peaches or a plum?

With Zheng Lang's fame, now accepting an ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old child as a student, absolutely no one dares to say that he is arrogant. But this head can't be opened, it's worse than teaching words, once it's opened, take a look, there will be many people who will send their children to their hands. Regardless of his studies, he led hundreds of children to read: Heaven and Earth are Xuanhuang, and the universe is desolate. It is said that the moon is shining, and the Chensu column is ...... Therefore, the shopkeeper Yan treated himself like that, only instructed his grandson on some study skills and academic problems, and did not dare to accept his grandson as a student.

"Zheng Jieyuan, I won't let you down," the little fart kid is about to have a lot of perseverance, and he still hasn't given up.

"That's it, I still have to prepare for the provincial exam, where is the kung fu to teach you studies, it's not that I don't accept you, but it hurts you to accept you." Zheng Lang said pleasantly. The gentler his attitude, the more admiration the young man felt in his heart, and said, "Zheng Jieyuan, really, you test me, I am smarter than other teenagers." ”

No matter how smart you are, even Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Su Dongpo, I can't accept it. But such words can't be said, and he continued to say gently: "There is really no time, don't think that I am learning the piano, it is just relaxing, I don't believe it, you ask my little maid." ”

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er also like this teenager, but they know how tight their eldest man's time is, so they nodded apologetically.

The young man's big bright eyes blinked, obviously very unwilling, and at this moment, a low-level official flashed out of the crowd, grabbed him, and said: "Zheng Jieyuan will do great things in the future, don't disturb others." ”

"Daddy, the child wants to."

"I can't think about it, don't let me make people laugh," the middle-aged Jingguan was very angry. How can Zheng Jiazi be able to climb at this time? Although it is only Xie Yuan, the palace has entered many times, and every prime minister is full of praise for him, only the difference is the procedure of the provincial test and the palace test.

The provincial exam that Zheng Lang was very worried about became Zheng Lang's side dish in his heart, and he passed the exam casually, not an exam, but a procedure! But Zheng Lang also liked this young man, looked at his back and said: "Xiaolang, if I take the provincial exam, you look for me, I can guide you." Also, there are only two paths to study, one diligent and two hard. ”

The middle-aged Beijing official gave a thankful salute and pulled the unwilling young man away. Zheng Jiazi is kind-hearted, but our status is low and we can't climb!

This matter was just a fun thing, and Zheng Lang didn't take it to heart. Before the light market began, he turned around and took a few ladies back to the inn. As soon as he arrived at the inn, he saw a person waiting for him, and he knew that it was an old guest of Feng Yuan's family, so he walked over and gave a salute.

The old servant said, "You are finally back, and my family Ah Lang asked me to invite you over for a while." ”

Feng Yuan please yourself? Zheng Lang wondered for a moment, could it be an exchange of Confucianism? It doesn't seem to be like, listening to Liu Zhi, since he saw Ouyang Xiu's article, Feng Yuan said in a sullen voice, I don't care, let them toss.

I couldn't figure it out, so I followed the old servant to Feng Yuan's mansion.

At this time, Feng Yuan was having a headache, and the talent was also terrifying. Ouyang Xiu had nothing to do in Luoyang, and he was so idle that his eggs hurt, so he soaked his sister all day long, traveled in the mountains and rivers, and later heard some of Zheng Lang's deeds, thinking that I also had to do the right thing.

This is where Feng Yuan's trouble comes.

In fact, many of Ouyang Xiu's ideas were generated during that period of time in Luoyang, but without Zheng Lang's incubation, these ideas were converted into articles, and there were still some years. And he just questioned, now he has little qualifications and doesn't dare to say it, it's too incredible. However, Zheng Lang started and was still afraid of a ball!

So the second article was concocted. I repaired some poems in the "Book of Songs", and wrote a preface, saying, Mao Zheng Erxue, his words are indecent, and they are already extensive, but those who do not conform to the scriptures are also many. or neglect, or fallacy.

The Mao Zheng mentioned here refers to the ancient text "Poems" compiled and annotated by Mao Heng and Mao Chang in the Western Han Dynasty, each of which has a small preface to introduce the content and intention of this article, and later the Eastern Han Dynasty scholar Zheng Xuan wrote a note for the "Biography of Mao".

That is, Mao's poems often mentioned by later generations, if their status is not scientific research, they are all above the justice of the Five Classics noted by Kong Yingda and others. At least before the rise of Song studies in the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of Mao's poetry was not much lower than that of "Mencius".

is such an important book, Ouyang Xiu admitted its breadth, but later said that there are many people who do not conform to the scriptures, or they are uninhibited, or absurd. not only thinned Mao Zheng, but also criticized a large number of diagrams.

And Mao Zheng Yu said in the poem that King Wen was the king of the mandate of heaven, and also said that King Wen listened to Yu Huang's lawsuit and the world returned to more than 40 countries, and the speaker said that he was called the king because he thought that the year of his appointment was to change the yuan. Because of Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and the prophecies and legends, there are too many ......"

Sima Qian was also shot while lying down, and it was Mao Zheng who caused Sima Qian to write such a rigorous history book as "Historical Records", and there were a lot of strange and delusional theories!

So I'm going to try to make a bet.

After annotating dozens of songs, I don't know whether it is good or bad, I want to give it to a person to take a look, and after thinking about it, only Feng Yuan is the most qualified, so I sent it to Feng Yuan in the capital.

Feng Yuan was stunned when he saw it, your grandmother's, you are even better than the Zheng family, and Mao and Zheng are not as good as you. I was so angry that I covered my chest, the same as Liu, it hurt!
