In the following days, Ouyang was not lonely, he went to Gu County to visit Zhanming. After living for a few days, I learned that Zhanming's original ambition was also to take the examination, but his father was a yamen catcher, according to the rules of the election, Zhanming was not eligible to participate in the imperial examination, so in the end, the son inherited his father's business and became a catcher. Ouyang expressed deep resentment at what happened to his ancient peers, but his current future was uncertain, and he didn't dare to make too many mistakes. After a few days of traveling in the mountains and rivers accompanied by Zhanming, he went around the prefectures around Tokyo. The deepest feeling is still the flower stone class.

More than ten tons of large stones were transported from Yangzhou to Tokyo by manpower, just to make the emperor happy, and the reason was because this stone had aura. Wherever the Huashi fleet passed, the local people were to supply the money valley and civil service; In some places, bridges were demolished and castles were chiseled to allow fleets to pass.

Waste is not a sin, for example, the emperor only eats a pig's tail and throws away all the other parts of the pig, even if it is wasteful, but let the pig farmers benefit, after all, it is still a relatively virtuous circle. And the waste of Huashigang seems to violate the conservation of energy, only waste is seen, only waste. A lot of manpower and material resources are just to transport a useless thing from the south to the north.

Ouyang also understood that Song Huizong's position in history could already be ranked in the top three. Who are the top two? Ouyang didn't know very well, anyway, he had to leave some space for others.

Two days before the first day of the fifth month, a gan jinshi reported that the Ministry of Rites explained the precautions for the palace test, such as drinking less water and what plants to gnaw to prevent the temple test from urinating. Then there is the etiquette, seeing that the emperor not only has to kneel, but also lies on the ground, called the five-body throw to the ground, and so on.

……

On the first day of the fifth month, the dragon raised its head early, and the wind was strong and the rain was urgent.

Speaking of the martial arts hall, a cadre of Jinshi waited silently, and Ouyang was lower, because he knew that the person who was about to come out knew him.

A few months ago, he was defeated at his own feet, and he was defeated badly.

Today, he's coming to collect his debts.

Outside the temple, the wind was stronger and the rain was more urgent.

He came, he slowly walked to Ouyang's side, deliberately staying for a second, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of his opponent bowing at his feet. But he was not proud, and he stopped lightly, so he walked forward and walked to his special chair thirty meters away. He likes this distance, because it is not only safe, but also brings him a kind of strong satisfaction.

It's right, he keenly feels right.

Foot numbness! Ouyang Nu, after walking for a few minutes, he went to the doctor if he was sick.

"Flat!" Huizong greeted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The jinshi stood in two rows, looking down at the floor, which had been rehearsed beforehand.

Huizong nodded with satisfaction and asked, "You are all the mainstays of my Great Song Dynasty, don't be restrained." Who is the provincial yuan this time? ”

The official of the First Rite Department kicked Ouyang on the heel, and Ouyang reluctantly took a step to the right and bowed his head: "Student Ouyang has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Lift up your head and let me see." Huizong correctly means, look up and see who Lao Tzu is.

Choose a prostitute, and look up. Ouyang lowered his head and replied: "How can Long Yan be seen by people like students." ”

"Look up."

"Yes!" Ouyang looked up, and then was surprised: "It's you?" "It seemed unimaginable.

Huizong was very, very satisfied with Ouyang's reaction, and wanted such an effect. On one side, the eunuch shouted: "Bold! ”

"Ahh It's you? "Sample, I thought you were Yang Jian, I didn't know you were Zhao Nu.

Yang Jian was about to scold, but Huizong raised his hand to stop him: "I ask you, why is your theory of happiness so wasted?" ”

"The talent of a student, no matter how it goes, is just a child's dancing knife in front of His Majesty." Ouyang said again: "Your Majesty's martial arts students don't know, but Wen Tao's height is known. Students will learn for another hundred years, and I am afraid that they will not be able to memorize it. ”

Depend on! Eat a bowl of rice with miscellaneous families. Yang Jian slandered in his heart.

Huizong was very satisfied with Ouyang's answer, nodded and asked again: "Your strategy, I feel ......."

Ouyang hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty has great wisdom in every word and deed, the student's ancestors are virtuous, and the provincial test has to meet the real dragon, so there is a strategy." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, after the ministers of the DPRK and China read your policy, they all feel that it is a good article for the benefit of the country and the people." Huizong felt that he couldn't always talk to one person, so he said, "Who is the second place?" ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly pulled the uninteresting Ouyang back to the ranks.

Huizong had a heart, and asked ten Jinshi in a row. Ouyang also admired it below, this has to be remembered by himself, but he didn't expect that the top ten judges and strategies could remember it. Every jinshi didn't expect the emperor to actually see his scroll, and tears and snot fell together. Ouyang felt funny, two of them were in their fifties, and they were still like children.

Next, the jinshi sat down and prepared for the temple examination. Ouyang looked at the white scroll and prayed, made a plan, made a plan. Generally, the temple examination is a theory, and there is a theory of obscurity. Huizong looked at Ouyang and smiled lightly: "Strategy, the pros and cons of salt transportation." ”

Ouyang was overjoyed.

Huizong added: "Ouyang, you are the provincial yuan, I have a special question." ”

Ouyang Khan.

"On the weight of music."

"......" Ouyang was in a coma, this was revenge, naked revenge.

Huizong looked at Ouyang's dead face and laughed: "It's okay if you want to answer, but you have to do something new to me." However, you are a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and you must not abuse yourself. ”

"......" Ouyang thought about it and said, "I want a bamboo pen holder with good texture, plus six dice." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly scolded: "On the main hall, when the palace is examined, how can you ......?"

"It's okay, come here, find it." Huizong said: "If what you do can't satisfy me, I will take away your provincial yuan." ”

……

Six dice were placed on the table, Ouyang took the pen holder and swept it, and the six dice were put into the pen holder. After a burst of hulala, Ouyang put one hand on his waist, smashed the pen holder on the table, and then shouted: "Liuliu Dashun, congratulations on Your Majesty's health." ”

Huizong was surprised to look at it, and sure enough, all six dice were six. Dragon's Heart: "Good, good." There is a reward. "This is interesting, I have always thrown dice into the bowl, at most two bowls and one together to shake up and down, how have I ever seen such a shake of dice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang felt that he really had the potential to be a fortunate minister. Ouyang said again: "This thing can also be played by two, three, or even ten people, and it is called guessing dice." ”

"Oh?" Huizong instructed: "Come on, prepare another payment." ”

So, Ouyang and the emperor played dice guessing when they were in the palace test. Ouyang is smart, not to mention winning or losing, and praising the emperor for his cleverness, keen observation, and so on. A cadre of Jinshi was miserable by the crackling sound of the dice. To say that Huizong is also smart, after trying a few times, he can even shake the dice, and the more he plays, the more interested he becomes. It wasn't until the end that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly signaled to Yang Jian, and Huizong stopped messing around.

"I'll give you a try." Huizong is still unfinished. But after all, in the palace test, even if this thing is not noisy, it is really unseemly to be so noisy. But then again, that's what I want.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ouyang sat down, he felt that it was too good to write, so he picked some small faults according to the current salt system, and then added a few insignificant measures. Even if it's a done-and-done.
