Han Zhongyan shook his head and said: Xu Gong, you are good at everything, just one point, I don't like it very much, that is, you are not honest enough. With your cleverness, how can you not know what I want to say?

Xu Jiang smiled a little awkwardly, but did not answer.

Forget it, so far, I don't want to say more superfluous words, if the black veil on the old man's head today is not for your help, he may not be able to keep it. On this basis, the old man will definitely be rewarded!" Han Zhongyan said with emotion.

Xu Jiang was overjoyed. The so-called must be rewarded, which naturally means that in the battle for the phase, Han Zhongyan will stand on his side of the general. For the battle for the phase, Xu Jiang has always been quite confident, and at this time, with Han Zhongyan's promise, his grasp in his heart immediately became a little bigger.

However, there was still no joy on his face, and he just said lightly: What did Han Gong say, we have been ministers in the same palace for decades, so we naturally want to support and assist each other. After all, everyone has had times when things like this have happened. If I am a bystander to protect yourself when you are in trouble, the next time I encounter such a thing, will you not have a reason to stand by and watch? If so, how can we talk about the friendship of the same temple?

Han Zhongyan nodded, didn't say anything more, arched his hand, and left.

When I came to the political affairs hall, I saw that Zhang Dian was still sitting there, his face was calm, and he was consulting some dossier materials. This is the standard posture of Chapter. He has a level of attention and drive that is hard to match for ordinary old people. As long as he sits in this hall, he rarely has time to be idle. Sometimes, you can't help but admit that only such a prime minister is the best prime minister, because he is almost invulnerable. Many political opponents are bent on grasping him, but they have never been able to do so.

Seeing Han Zhongyan's depressed appearance, Zhang Dian was a little strange, so he asked casually: Han Gong, I just went to face the saint, it must be for the temple test, how about it?

Han Zhongyan shook his head, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly remembered that it was Zhang Dian who was talking to him, not someone else, how could he ignore it? At that moment, he hurriedly lifted the butt that had already fallen half down, shook his head, and said: Xianggong is about to stop mentioning it, Jinke is afraid that he will laugh

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt that the words were inappropriate, and he shut up again.

Zhang Dian originally just asked casually, but he didn't want to hear Han Zhongyan's astonishing words, so he put down the file in his hand and asked: What do you say?

Han Zhongyan had no choice but to smile bitterly: There is a candidate named Ouyang Shu in Shezhou, and Xianggong must have heard of his name. Originally, because of his reputation, we have already judged his volume to be unranked, but I don't want this person to be poetic, but he is quite successful, His Majesty appreciates him very much, not only hand-picked his volume into the first class, but also looks at the current situation, it seems that he also intends to be the first mile!

First, isn't that the champion? Zhang Dian is even more interested, and the triennial scientific examination is a major event. Generally speaking, it is rare for a champion not to be at the level of a deacon or an attendant. Moreover, champions can generally leave their names in history.

Zhang Dian hurriedly said: Han Gong, don't worry, tell the old man the ins and outs of this matter first!

Han Zhongyan thought about it. The official family can not listen to others, but he will not disobey Zhang Dan, if he can be persuaded to move, I am afraid that there is still room for things to turn around. At that moment, he explained the whole story in detail.

Zhang Dian frowned when he heard this, shook his head, and said: In this way, this Ouyang Shu's strategy can only be regarded as medium?

Han Zhongyan saw that Zhang Dian seemed to be moved, and hurriedly said: But isn't it? Policies and theories are generally just that, the character is still so inferior, and they do everything to cheat and deceive, how can this kind of person be

Zhang Duan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Han Gong, the rumors outside may not be credible. Three people can become tigers, and a man's virtue is not determined by his reputation. We have never met this person, let alone know his true words and deeds, so how can we suddenly draw conclusions based on rumors?

Just when Han Zhongyan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, Zhang Dian spoke like this, even though he was facing the deputy prime minister of the imperial court, he still wouldn't speak tactfully. Suddenly, I heard Zhang Dun's words turn again: However, there is one thing that you said very well. The national scientific examination selects talents, not swaggers. For example, Liu Yong and Zhou Bangyan's generation are extraordinary, and if they enter the court as officials, it is difficult for me to imagine what political achievements they can make!

Zhao Xu was also anxious at this time, and as soon as Han Zhongyan and Xu Jiang left on their front feet, Zhao Jing walked out from behind the curtain, her face a little cold.

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly, so he had to confess to her about degrading Li Gefei, and now that he can't hold it back, it's better to make a full confession. He only hoped that Zhao Jing would not be too resentful.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing just sighed and said: Sixth brother, you don't know me too well!

When Zhao Xu heard this, although he didn't scold him, it made him more uncomfortable than scolding him. He has always felt that in addition to being the sixth brother, he should also become Zhao Jing's first confidant. But Zhao Jing said that she didn't know her too well, wouldn't this be too much of a failure?

Zhao Xu was a little disappointed, and asked a little eagerly.

Zhao Jing smiled bitterly and said: You demoted Li Yuanzheng's official, no matter what the reason, it is a state affair. Even if my friend is implicated in this matter, I have only regret and feelings, how can I resent you because of this? Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for you to imprison me for this. Although I am saddened by Sister Li's departure, I will never intercede for her. Because being born in the Li family is her life, just like I can't choose, I can only be born in the royal family!

Zhao Xu was excited when he heard this, grabbed Zhao Jing's hand a little forgetfully, and called: "Ten sisters!

Zhao Jing slightly sensed Zhao Xu's strangeness, so she withdrew her hand with a red face, and said, "However, this time, you can't stop me from going to see the Fan family's sister no matter what! That Ouyang Shu's name, I have also heard of it, I don't believe the old man's evaluation just now. I must take a look at this person for myself, and see for myself whether the sister of the Fan family was killed by him. If that's the case, I'll kill him alive!"

When it came to this, where did Zhao Xu dare not let Zhao Jing go out, so he had to advise: Then you have to be careful, take a few more guards out!

Zhao Jing shook her head and said, "Sixth brother, you are stupid to cover it up, and you will attract suspicion by bringing more guards."

Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw a small yellow door running in from outside, and reported: Zhang Dian is waiting outside the palace gate!

Zhao Jing's face changed, she knew that Zhao Xu was respectful of Zhang Dian and a little afraid of it, and she was unconsciously affected, and she was also afraid of Zhang Tun. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: Then, I'll go out first!

Hou Zhao and summons are different, summons can be directly led to the outside of the palace gate, waiting for the emperor to announce, and then put into the door. But Hou Zhao must wait outside the palace gate, because the emperor is not something you can see if you want to, and he is very likely not to want to see you. Therefore, even if it is Zhang Dian, the eunuch cannot let him in at will.

Zhao Xu nodded hurriedly, and watched Zhao Jing go slowly, before saying to the little yellow door: Announce him in.

After a while, Zhang Xuan was led in, and after the salute was finished, Zhao Xu asked: Zhang Xiang, why did you come to see me?

Zhang Dian bowed and said: Your Majesty, Your Majesty is personally responsible for the palace test, and the minister can't be pecked. However, when the minister heard that His Majesty intended to put a person who was excellent in poetry and had an average strategy, he had to come and give advice.

Chapter 90 of the text is the Empress Dowager of Western Xia Liang

Although none of the officials of Kaifeng County have the qualifications to discuss politics in the court, these people have a bit of an upper-level background, and they can talk a little bit with many ministers of the DPRK and China, so they are extremely well-informed. What Zhao Xu had just said in the court hall was already known to many people by noon that day, and it immediately began to spread throughout the yamen. Since this decree designated Ouyang Shu as the person in charge of treating Zhao Xu's illness, everyone's eyes were even more different when they looked at Ouyang Shu.

The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is a very good place, as long as you don't rebel, even if you are a little too corrupt, it will not endanger your life. Only the imperial doctor is also an official eunuch, but he is much more dangerous than ordinary officials. The imperial physician treats the emperor, the concubines and the princes and ministers every day, although they all have excellent medical skills, but people make mistakes, horses have stumbles, and no one can live without making mistakes. If the mistake made by a practitioner of medicine, especially for the princes and nobles or even the emperor himself, it is not enough if it is small, and if it is big, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it is not completely impossible to turn around and lose his life.

Of course, the reverse makes sense. If you cure a disease that others can't cure, it is also a first-class credit, and a single reward is likely to be enough for a lifetime of expenses. And Ouyang Shu is not a doctor, this is even more unusual, Zhao Xu is happy, it is understandable to reward a big official, Ouyang Shu is a serious Jinshi and the first born after all, and he is also a high-ranking Tanhua.
