The mansion of the official department is located in the East Cross Street, this mansion is quite majestic, and the plaque is the four gilded characters of the imperial pen of Emperor Renzong in that year: the champion mansion. Emperor Renzong's calligraphy is timeless and soft, just like his personality, although he reigns over the world, he does not have the slightest domineering, but gives people a sense of intimacy.

Ouyang Shu looked at these four words, and after making sure that he had not gone to the wrong place, he was overjoyed.

Originally, according to his father's instructions, before the high school jinshi, he could not come to ask for the 1,000 taels of silver that Xu Jiang owed, but now the situation is special, if he does not come to beg for money, he must first go to beg for food. Between begging for money and begging for food, Ouyang Shu naturally chose the second one without hesitation.

In front of the door of the Xu Mansion, there were two guards standing on the left and right, who were talking and laughing softly at this time, Ouyang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and sang a promise: The two Taibao are invited, Xiao Ke is from the Shezhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, if you want to visit your master, please let me know.

The shou on the left frowned, and said: I said that you don't know things, our master is a court official, and there are so many official affairs to discuss with the officials and the officials and attendants every day, who can see it if they want to?

The shou on the right said, "Don't say that, I think this brother is extraordinary, maybe he is really our master's relative!

Ouyang Shu hurriedly took out the written prayer note from his arms and put it on the big spread hand of the Shou Yan, but saw that the Shou Yan took the worship post, but his hand did not take it back, and it was still spread straight there. Ouyang Shu suddenly understood, these two people sang black face on one side and white face on the other, where did they ask for a post, they were obviously asking for bribes!

As soon as he said this, Ouyang Shu's heart suddenly flashed with a trace of anger, and he easily pulled the worship post back.

A trace of anger suddenly flashed on the Shou Yan's face, and he shouted: Since you are so ignorant, then go back to your hometown and stay for a long time! I want to see our master, let's go to the next life! Maybe it was because he had never been rejected, he seemed quite excited, and he spoke loudly.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and a person came out of it, and scolded in a deep voice: I said, why are you so noisy, if you startle the master, can you afford it?

As soon as Ouyang Shu heard that there was an even more horizontal mansion coming out of it, such a big mansion, and people were talking louder outside, how could it be that delicate Lord Shangshu of yours who was noisy? He turned around and saw a person standing inside the door, about forty years old, quite short and thin, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, and a rather ugly appearance.

The man felt Ouyang Shu's gaze, so he left the two guards who were whispering to apologize, looked up and glared at Ouyang Shu, and said, "What's the matter? Are you not convinced? This is the mansion of the Shangshu of the National Dynasty, not a place like you to settle down and scatter!"

When the two guards heard the man reprimand Ouyang Shu without saying anything, they hurriedly agreed, and the expression on their faces was really so pleasant, how pleasant.

Ouyang Shu was about to speak, when he heard Peng's voice, and the vermilion lacquer door was closed, leaving only the two gold-inlaid knockers on the gate still shaking.

Ouyang Shu bit his lip fiercely, and secretly swore in his heart: "One day, I will let you eat my closed door soup like today! And you owe my family a thousand taels of silver, I want you to spit it out to me without falling a penny!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards an inn.

In Xu's study.

Xu Jiang sat on the heavy sandalwood chair in the middle, which was specially given to him by the Empress Dowager Gao five years ago. However, what I didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager herself had been promoted for several years, but he was still very strong and strong.

Although he is sixty-three years old, Xu Jiang still pays attention to his appearance. Back then, he was the champion at the age of twenty-six, and he has always been favored by the emperors of all dynasties because of his outstanding appearance, literary style, and elegant conversation. Because of this, his career has always been smooth, and now he has achieved the position of a heavenly official in the ministry, and he is just one step away from worshipping the prime minister.

Since the current little emperor was in power, he favored Zhang Dun, the general of the law under Wang Anshi back then, and appointed him as the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door, as the left minister, but did not appoint the above-mentioned right servant and Zhongshu squire. Although he was later appointed as a Zhongshu squire, he did not have the title of the right servant of the Shangshu, and it was only equivalent to the governor's political affairs before the reform of Yuanfeng. Therefore, Zhang Dian is in fact the only prime minister in the DPRK and China in recent years.

However, this particular regime will certainly not last long.

Because the subordinate province under the control of Zhang Dian was originally to review the proposals put forward by the Zhongshu Province, and if they were refuted, they would be handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation after the review was passed. Now, because Zhongshu Province has not set up a prime minister, there is no strong person who speaks to things, and it has been completely restrained by Menxia Province, plus Zhang Dian himself is the governor of Shangshu Province, which is equivalent to the power of the three provinces is concentrated in the prime minister alone, which is simply too dangerous.

What's even more dangerous is that Zeng Bu, the privy envoy who holds the military power, was also recommended by Zhang Dian, although the two people sometimes have ambiguities in the court, but that can't hide the fact that the two are fellow travelers.

In other words, all the civil and military power of the imperial court today is concentrated in the hands of Prime Minister Zhang Dan! This, of course, is abnormal, and it is precisely because it is abnormal that it must be changed.

And the people who can change this situation are none other than the two Zhangdun and the emperor.

If Zhang Dian wants to change, he must either retreat bravely, which is obviously impossible, Zhang Dian is the most power-loving, and has a strong temperament, only knows how to move forward, and is unwilling to retreat, which also makes him the most severely beaten person in Wang Anshi's group of Xining Party members. Today, he will not retreat either, either to consolidate his power, or even to control the emperor and seek power.

But this is obviously impossible, not to mention that the emperor has the grace to know and promote Zhang Dan, it is difficult for Zhang Duan to give birth to such ambitions, even if Zhang Dian has such ambitions, he is only a matter of a few years, and the hearts of the people below are far from being attached. What's more, Zhang Dian has a bad temperament, and he retaliated against those Yuanyou Party members who had dealt with him back then, and the means were too ruthless, but most of these people had good official reputations, which must have caused damage to Zhang Ton's own reputation.

And if the emperor wants to change, he will either depose Zhang Dian and let him go to the local office, which is also unlikely, because the emperor is young and wants to learn from his father Shenzong to change the law, which is inseparable from the support of like-minded people like Zhang Tun; or set up the prime minister of Zhongshu again and support Zhongshu Province to check and balance Zhang Dun, the left minister, and this is undoubtedly the most likely.

Although many ministers in the DPRK are eyeing this right minister, General Xu is quite confident in himself.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw the door of the study open gently, and saw the ugly man who had just reprimanded Ouyang Shu walk in softly and said softly: Master, he has been here just now!

Xu Jiang sighed softly and pointed: Are you talking about him?

The painting on the desk depicted a young man with a medicine frame on his back, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, who is not Ouyang Shu?

Chapter 50 of the text is to borrow flowers and offer Buddha

Ouyang Shu took a look, and when he saw the big red invitation on the cover, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly opened it, and saw a line of beautiful himself inside: Your Excellency Li Jun Muwu: The concubine has been a talented person in the world since she was a child, and she has been longing for a while since she was a child. However, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the concubine has been in the boudoir for more than ten years, only painting cakes day and night to satisfy hunger, and empty hope. Reading your poems closely, I think it is rare in life, and if you know Jing, it will be a blessing for three lives. On the new moon day of the next month, the sunrise is ten ten, may Your Excellency take time out of your busy schedule to deign to meet Chu Yunting by the East Water Gate, and the concubine's thirsty heart is like the hope of the great drought!

The following inscription: Concubine Li Qingzhao bowed down!

When Ouyang Shu saw this invitation, his heart felt as if he had broken the five-flavor bottle. Li Qingzhao repeatedly emphasized her desire to see her side above, and her words were very sincere, but Ouyang Shu had just learned that Chu Yunzhi's meeting was a meeting that had already been doomed, could he let himself run over to see how Zhao Mingcheng hugged the beauty?

The little girl next to her saw that Ouyang Shu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she was depressed, so she shook her little hand in front of Ouyang Shu, and called softly: Hey, are you okay?

Ouyang Shu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine." What is the name of the little lady?

Seeing that Ouyang Shu didn't seem to be in a high mood, the little girl's face also calmed down, and she replied very obediently: There are only two brothers and sisters in my family, and there are no other brothers and sisters.

Ouyang Shu nodded and said, "It turned out to be Miss Fan." I would like to ask you, why did you send this invitation?
