The green robes, white Jane, and yellow shirts given to the new Jinshi meant that they were real Song courtiers, not cloth clothes. The top three will also be given five glasses of wine and food, and the others will be given rice. But it was five glasses of wine and food, and some people actually drank high, after watching Zheng Lang drink the five glasses of wine with difficulty, a small round face was like Guan Gong's face, including the neck was red, Zhao Zhen and the ministers all laughed.

When it was time to hang flowers and cross the horse to parade through the street, the little eunuch helped him on the horse and whispered: "Champion Gong, be careful." ”

"It's okay, I know." Zheng Lang also whispered. The mind is still very clear, but the amount of alcohol is poor, and it hurts the face, so it becomes like this.

Zhang Fangping shook his head and smiled bitterly in the back, but he didn't actually let Zheng Lang drink much, and when the eunuch inspected the wine, he saw that he had a poor amount of wine, so he deliberately investigated very shallowly. But he is him, Zheng Lang is Zheng Lang, the two are not good to compare, and rode outside the Donghua Gate, Zhang Fangping asked worriedly: "Zheng Zhuangyuan, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Fangping looked at himself, then at Yang Cha behind him, and said, "Well deserved." ”

When eating and drinking, Zhang Fangping learned some news from the officials, and he had a share of his own merits in the list, and his ranking was not high, and His Majesty was not able to raise it excessively. also has a providence, if he hadn't stopped the Zheng family at that time, he would have discussed the plan and jointly signed the book, how could he be on the list.

Zheng Lang's face was red, and he had a little more wine, but his thinking was very clear, and he said: "Brother Zhang, you should accept it, if you don't have the will to share worries and solve problems for the country and the people, how can you have the opportunity?" Even if providence gives it, it must be artificial. Just up and soft down, thunder and wind together, Xun and move, rigid and soft corresponding, constant! The will is the fundamental, the external opportunity will eventually come, and the unwilled will will not be able to catch it, and the will will will sooner or later will follow. With the ambition and talent of Brother Tai, he deserves it even more. ”

The mind is still very clear, otherwise I would almost be able to say that this time I am the only gentleman, and even I may not be as far as you.

This is a respect for Zhang Fangping's character, if one by one maintains a non-party like Zhang Fangping, how can there be a party dispute later. But it was because he had no party aid, so he was both civil and military, honest and honest, and became another capable official in Sichuan after Zhang Yong, but it was difficult for his final political career to reach the peak.

It is also where Zheng Lang is confused, if he doesn't act, it doesn't matter, he wants to be famous, he wants to be wealthy, what else do he want? If you want the seat under the little emperor's buttocks, not to say impossible, it's possible, is the emperor really so easy to do? Look at Zhao Zhen's hard work year after year...... If you want to do something, you have to form a party. Or form a Zheng Party by yourself, fight with the Lu Party here, and fight with the Fan Party there? What is it, it's better to go back to Zhengzhou to play.

Another suspicion, Zheng Lang has read several articles written by Zhang Fangping, and it seems that he is very effective in military affairs and understands the art of war, but what will happen if he goes to the battlefield? Zhao Kuo is an example, on the contrary, Han Xin, Huo Quzhi, Yue Fei and others rarely read the war book, but the battle was fought very well. really went to the battlefield, is Zhang Fangping Pei Xingjian or Ma Yan?

If Pei Xingjian is frugal, it is the gospel of the country, and the civilian officials leading the troops are completely different from the military generals leading the troops, and there are countless constraints.

With developed brain cells, thinking about so many things all day long, Zheng Lang didn't feel tired...... Then he went out of Donghua Gate!

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er were waiting in the carriage. There are many dignitaries and nobles crowded around, and some noble ladies come over to congratulate them, their identity is destined to be concubines, but not necessarily concubines are worthless, depending on whether their husbands are respectful. If you don't respect it, this concubine is no different from a maidservant, and if your husband respects it, you can't underestimate it.

Do you respect these two little maids?

After a while, the two girls were praised by a group of noble ladies and their faces were red, and their eyes were happy in a line. Suddenly, two carts of donkey carts came by on the side road, and there was a silk canopy on them. When they stopped beside them, a voice came from inside: "Little Master." ”

Si'er and Jiang Xing'er turned their heads to look, saw four heads sticking out of the two cars, and scolded with a smile: "You guys are too naughty, why are you here too?" ”

Sima Guang said: "Little master, waiting is not a very beautiful thing. ”

Wang Anshi said in another caravan: "It's not just beautiful, it's too painful to be simple." ”

"I'll take a look," he saw the two little ones lying on the cushion, crooked buttocks, and couldn't help it at home, so he asked the shopkeeper Yan to call the car and help him up. The two small gestures were ugly, and they were shy to put the silk on it, and only opened a small opening. Looking at the four pairs of thieves' big eyes, Xing'er couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "It's hot, your wounds are not healed, and you can't come out." ”

"It's good to come out." Sima Guangdao.

The other three heads are dotted together.

After staying for a long time, knowing how powerful the mouths of the two little third sons were, Jiang Xing'er didn't want to fight with the two of them, so after thinking about it, she ran to the back shop to buy a few towels and handkerchiefs, handed them to them, and said, "It's hot, wipe your sweat." ”

"Thank you, little master."

Yan Rong suddenly said loudly: "The Donghua Gate is open. ”

Firecrackers rang out, guards of honor were opened, and drums rang out. Zheng Lang rode out slowly, his little face was still red and simple, because his development was a little late, and his face was still very immature, just like a doll riding on a horse. There was a discussion in the crowd: "The champion is really small. ”

"yes, only seventeen."

can't look at Zheng Lang as seventeen years old, his bearing is very light and calm, and he is like a little adult. So some of the little girls in the crowd looked more like it and let out a scream. Anyway, there are a lot of people, and I'm not alone in calling anyway.

Jiang Xing'er said worriedly: "Zheng Lang drank wine? ”

Sima Guang said: "Little master, the champion must drink wine, it is the emperor who gave five glasses of wine." Then a look of yearning.

The ceremony just began, the whole day of tossing, in the evening gathered together to the Gongyuan in the early stage of the collection of the bureau, here there is a series of etiquette, three ceremonial ministers presided, and there are corrections, notes, chiefs, inscriptions, small records, palms, pawns, palms, palms, palms, palms, palms, prisons and other small officials. It is not the end of this night, after ten days to thank the emperor, several worship Huangjia, the same year, and then take forty as the dividing line, the upper one stands in the east corridor, the lower one stands in the west corridor, and then worships, and then chooses an elder, the champion worships, and then chooses a lesser one, worships the champion.

Look at how good the etiquette officer is, and know the important surname of unity, but the etiquette is done, and few people actually think of it.

Then go to the country to prison, worship the first saint, that is, Confucius, give the wedding banquet in the Xinglin Garden, the officials as accompaniment, this is the title carved stone. All the expenses are paid by the government.

In this process, anyone who saw the champion, including Lu Yijian, Li Di, and Zhao Yuanyan, obediently avoided the three houses.

Leave to return to their hometowns, referring to the scholars in the Jianghuai area of Henan, Beishan, Shandong, Hedong, Guanzhong, Jianghuai, etc., as for the students in Jiannan and Jiangnan West Road, they are very hard, too far, and they have to stay in the capital obediently and wait for the imperial court to give officials. But it is already very humanized, and returning to the hometown is also a great pride in life. In fact, it is to encourage Wenzhi, see if you see it, study hard, and you will be able to be as beautiful as these Jinshi in the future.

After tossing for a day, Zheng Lang was exhausted, especially this official uniform made him speechless, the big green robe had a big red flower on it, and even the red flowers on the four corners of the head were obliquely inserted. Luckily, the head is black, if it's green...... The horse was returned to the officials, and it was time to return to the inn.

As soon as he was about to get into the carriage that Song Bo was coming, he saw four heads sneakily sticking out from the other two donkey carts, and said very unhappily: "Sima Sanlang, Wang Sanlang, didn't you let you recuperate in the inn?" ”

I'm going to have to stay in the capital for a while, and I'm going to go back eventually. You can't lie on the cushion like this and go back to Zhengzhou, right?

You have to heal your hip injury before you do that, and then go back, and you still have family work to do. In fact, there are already many people in the capital who are preparing for family affairs, although the edict makes some people sad, and the limit of having a wife at home can be understood, but only the engagement should also be restricted?

Some people are even more angry, isn't the Song Dynasty only a few decades old? During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was this set, Zhou Taizu Guo Weichai, Yang Shufei, Zhang Guifei, Dong Defei, the four were all widows, wives, and if the emperor was big, it would be good.

Where is the religion? Could it be that Guo Wei is bad, it can be said that in the past five generations, he is really the first emperor to start focusing on people's livelihood.

Helpless, I had to choose an unmarried young man, this constraint, how many can be selected, more than 500 jinshi, less than 100 people for them to choose. And half of them have already "booked". So some people thought about it, especially some businessmen with relatively low status but wealth, and shifted their attention to the famous scholars. I asked, some of them were older, their wives died, and some of them left their wives because they were poor, and they became widowers because they were poor. In the various departments, you can also find a few dishes that taste good.

This Zheng Lang doesn't care.

Besides, he really wants to be the enemy of the world.

The two juniors just laughed, I don't answer, you know.

Si'er said coquettishly: "Da Lang, should I call you the champion of the father, or Da Lang?" ”

The little girl covered her head with joy.

"When others shout Gong, you have to shout too? Aren't you afraid to call me old? I don't like it. Whether I am in it or not, I am still the same person in the past, especially you, who are also my relatives, what others say, don't care, my own family says, my family is proud, it will only make people laugh. ”

"Whoa."

Lu Xiaosan disagreed, and said: "Zheng Zhuangyuan, you are even in the middle of the three yuan, why are you so low-key?" ”

"It's Lianzhong Sanyuan, but Lu Sanlang, have you ever thought that I am a scenery during this time, but what is it during this time?"

In the past ten days, Zheng Lang has killed gods when he meets gods, and he kills Buddhas when he meets Buddhas, and all the ministers have to be polite when they see them. But after this period of time, as soon as the officials are assigned, don't scare people with the champion's set, otherwise it will be very troublesome. Even during this time, don't take it seriously, thinking that winning the champion can be rampant for a while, that idea is also very wrong.

He also said: "When the water is full, it will be profitable, and when the moon is full, it will be lost, and the more this is the case, the more modest and prudent we must be, and it has nothing to do with hypocrisy." But on the contrary, the lower the trough, the more you must not be discouraged, cheer up, and find hope in life. The so-called victory is not arrogant, and defeat is not appropriate. ”

"Champion, I understand, yin is prosperous and yang is used, yang is prosperous and yin is used, which is also called the golden mean." Wang Anshi said.

"I can say that, too." Zheng Lang smiled, but in this way, the more the golden mean is elaborated, the more troubles will be, so when will Confucianism be completed? I only said this sentence, and I didn't criticize a few younger, I was only a teenager, how could I not be curious. And he said, "Go back." ”

…… The little champion couldn't drink, and it became a joke, which quickly spread.

Gentlemen, this time, I don't talk to you about poetry, I don't talk about words, I don't talk about fu, I don't talk about literature, I don't talk about words, I don't talk about piano, I don't talk about painting, I work hard, that's what martial artists do, we are literati who are high, and we don't care about it. But it is possible to drink with you.

Zheng Lang was very sad, a series of activities did not end, and he could not leave the capital immediately. In the past, I used to close the door and read the sages hard, everyone can understand, but now I have won the three yuan, these days are the carnival time of the new jinshi, if you study behind closed doors, you may not be too arrogant. There is no reason to refuse.

The next day, the post flew into the inn like a snowflake, Zheng Lang was a relative in his heart, and pulled Zhang Fangping together, which has nothing to do with friendship, Zhang Fangping has been with Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain and Kunshan Mountain, not now Shandong) Liu Qian, Wu Hao, Shi Yannian, Wei Buhua, Chen Jing, Tian Du, Ma Wu dozens are all heroic and not hired, as curiosity, indulge in wine and singing, or travel with all the drunkards, right or not to evaluate, but he can practice a good amount of wine.

Dare to treat Zhang Fangping as a wine barrel.

Helpless, I couldn't drink, so I had to drag a powerful cushion on my back.

That's it, you'll have to drink a few less, well, and pull it back in a wagon in a daze. As soon as I arrived at the inn, I let two small yellow doors introduce to the palace.

Zhao Zhen saw his red face, and he was happy again, and said, "Zheng Qing, how many have you drunk?" ”

"Four."

"Four lamps are a little more," Zhao Zhen finished speaking, and Yan Wenying both laughed wildly. A glass of wine is about two or three taels, but it is not a high degree of liquor in later generations, most of the wine in the Song Dynasty is rice wine, and the degree is relatively low, otherwise there will be no plot of Wu Song drinking eighteen bowls of wine to fight the tiger in "Water Margin". The bowl has a larger capacity than the cup, and if the old shochu is old, the amount of alcohol will also be down, and it will be a problem if you can't even walk. Even the little emperor's amount of wine can be drunk ten or eight.

After Zhao Zhen finished laughing, he said to Yan Wenying: "Go make a cup of hangover tea." ”

"Whoa."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang again and said, "Is it too much?" ”

"It's a little more, but the head is still clear."

"That's good, I ask you, why do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has already thought about it, and the unsuccessful champion also wants to go to Jiangnan. The main intention of the minister was to repair the book, and if the book was repaired, it might be helpful to the country. ”

"What does it have to do with repairing books and going to Jiangnan?" Zhao Zhen heard a little, and the faint mean is very big. But the help that Zheng Lang said is not very clear, and it is equally difficult for others to understand. But it is really very important, and what kind of effect will it have on the subsequent party struggle? Of course, this requires Zheng Lang himself to have a reputation for his deeds, and the greater his deeds and fame, the easier it is for this concept to be promoted. However, it is also a kind of idealization, do you want these ministers not to fight in the future? Not possible!

"The minister is now working behind closed doors, and he doesn't know much about the actual life of the people, or he only sees the life of some people in Zhengjiazhuang, and he doesn't have a big picture. If you stay in the capital, the ministers are young and can only hold some deputy positions, and the departments involved have heavy responsibilities, so you can't implement this concept. The minister's desire to release is to combine theory with practice, improve the minister's theory, and then see what kind of effect the theory can produce when it is brought into practice. Therefore, the minister said lightly to several Xiaolang that after the palace examination, the minister would ask His Majesty to let the minister serve as a county magistrate in Jiangnan. ”

"Prefectural order?"

"Yes, the minister's age is too young, and the county order is sufficient."

"It's not proper, you don't covet power, but you opened this example, how will I confer officials in the future?"

"It's also ......" Zheng Lang came up and looked at Zhao Zhen in a daze.

Zhao Zhen looked at his drunken appearance, laughed again, and said, "Drink tea." ”

Zheng Lang took a sip of tea, and Zhao Zhen asked again: "Then why Jiangnan?" ”

Yesterday, I heard many officials explain in the Chongzheng Palace, but it was not Zheng Lang's answer, so Zhao Zhen asked again.

"Your Majesty, the minister is still young, and there is room for growth when he is young, but it is difficult to convince people when he is young. There are noble relatives in the northern and southern states of Henan, and the ministers are young, and there may be some difficult incidents, and there are not many of them, and if a few things happen, they are not beautiful in the end. The reason why this minister chose Jiangnan is also. And Jiangnan is not fully developed, there are more opportunities for development, and the minister also wants to go and try it to see how far the minister can go. ”

"How about Hangzhou?"

Zheng Lang's confused head suddenly made Zhao Zhen sober up, and hurriedly said: "It's not proper, if Your Majesty really wants the ministers to know any state, Chuzhou, Zhenzhou, Hezhou, Wuwei Army, Taiping Prefecture, Guangde Army, Chizhou can all be, but Yangsu, Hangzhou and other states, the minister can't go." ”

The champion knows that a state is eligible, but how important were Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty? This is the real money warehouse and granary of the Song Dynasty, and he knows Hangzhou, isn't it boring to find himself? Relying on Liu Sanbian's uneven sentence of 100,000 people, it is not something that he can go.

Eagerly, he reported to several state armies in one go, these state armies were large and small, rich and poor, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were not on the side of the Grand Canal, and belonged to the second richest area in the south of the Yangtze River. Unlike Xuanzhou, Luzhou, Shuzhou and other large state capitals, although there are large and small, the overall scale is not very large, and big does not mean that the difficulty of management will be reduced.

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "That's okay, I remember that I said in the past, Jiangnan is good, you go to take a look on my behalf." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Zhen's words have a deep meaning, Zheng Lang mentioned it, I am young, even though I may have talent, I can't suppress people. Therefore, with Zhao Zhen's words, what impact will it have if it is spread out?

If you want to make it difficult, listen to it, Jiangnan is good, the children of the Zheng family will take a look!

Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Zhen gratefully, he was still very tender, and he would let the minister continue to toss, but the little emperor gradually grew up, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister sometimes thinks about it, even if he takes the liberty of serving as a county commander, there may be a thousand clues, until he doesn't know the depths, until he knows how difficult it is for His Majesty to manage a big country." ”

It's true, his surname is very light, it's okay to do elegant things, but he has never been a leader, don't say a state, it's a county to think about, sometimes I feel very dazed.

"You're going to do it, I'm sure."

Walking out of the palace, Zheng Lang had a new mind. Originally, I just wanted to make a county order, and I could barely do it, but now it seems that the county order can't be done, and a governor, this burden has invisibly increased again. Back at the inn, I went to a few small rooms to check on their studies, and by the way, let them have a preparation in advance.

As for what happened in the palace in the past, sometimes Zheng Lang would say it, sometimes he wouldn't say it, but most of them would say it, and then let a few children analyze it to accelerate their growth. Hearing what Zheng Lang said, several little guys jumped up. Sima Guang said: "Okay, Zhizhou has more authority, and it can allow the champion to give full play to his talents." ”

"Not necessarily," but looking at how small, Zheng Lang felt a clear sleep in his heart, he was young, he couldn't hold people down, and he lacked actual management experience. But there are still three children by his side, Yan Rong aside, Lu Gongzhu is sixteen years old, Sima Guang is fifteen years old, and Wang Anshi is thirteen years old, all of them are half adults. One person may lack ability, but the strength of four people can be combined, even the average Zhizhou, and may not have their own power! Age and experience can be combined with the strength of four people and make up for it with wisdom.

His heart suddenly settled down and said, "Okay, let's work together to govern." ”

"Okay!" Sima Guang and Wang Anshi jumped up happily from the bed, and then fell down in pain. Lu Gongzhu still looked very honest, he thought that the little teacher was talking modestly.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he sat down and pondered.

In the Song Dynasty institutions, there are also roads, there are transport envoys and other related officials, but the direct management power is not large, it should be said that the state is the real highest level of the local establishment, if you know the state, you can make yourself better played, if you do well, can you substitute some advanced experience of later generations into the current Song Dynasty?

Or let a certain state under his jurisdiction become a special economic zone of the Song Dynasty, a trial point......
