Chapter 267: Favorite

Not to mention that Fan Chunren, the consul and deputy prime minister, presided over the Yizhou exam, even if he presided over the Yazhou exam, he firmly believed that the exam questions he issued would be sent to Bianliang as they were, entered the palace, and placed on the little emperor's desk. Time does not transcend three days. And there are at least no less than three or five onlookers, such as Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu and so on.

Then the meat drama comes.

What signal will this question give to the little emperor?

How should the little emperor deal with the relationship between the old minister and the new minister? In general, Fan Chunren believes that the conservatives have a credit to the emperor, and a great credit. At least the conservatives put the original Song Dynasty in the hands of the little emperor. It was also a dynasty with a relatively stable political situation and rich people. This has to say something about the merits.

He can't tell the little emperor how much credit he has, right?

The story of King Cheng and Duke Zhou can well interpret the love of the conservatives for the little emperor over the years, at least when the emperor was established, everyone contributed. You don't have to do the work of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, right?

At this time, the most appropriate thing is not to invite credit, but to talk about feelings.

The exam question in Yizhou is - become a young king, and you can't be a young man. Zhou Gongxiang, practice and rule.

This sentence is from "The Book of Rites: King Wen's Son".

In order to assist the king, the Duke of Zhou did not manage his fiefdom. In the end, King Cheng grew up and became a pro-government, and he returned to the government of King Cheng, and retired after success. Although they are uncles and nephews, they are also monarchs and ministers, and the monarchs and ministers abide by etiquette, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, and they are all happy. This is what a Ming Jun should do. It is also a reminder to the little emperor, you can't let the reformers come too much, when is the time to repay grievances, be harmonious, not struggle.

Fan Chunren believed that when the little emperor saw this, he would definitely be teary-eyed and couldn't be moved. And his little abacus is naturally crackling. Don't look at the conservatives are all the people of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager should always be the grandmother of the little emperor, right? Listening to her old man is to help you and love you!

After enduring humiliation and burdens all these years, is it a waste of fame?

This is also the reason why Li Kui said 'shameless', seeing the tension above the temple, you are a veteran of the three dynasties, and you actually knelt? It's too undisciplined, isn't it?

My uncle and uncle are all ready to fight, and you, as a comrade-in-arms, actually betrayed your teammates. Isn't your old conscience really not painful?

At the same time, this is also the reason why Li Yun was half angry, and said that the exam question is - the gentleman's office, which has no escape. This title from the "Book of Shang" derives from the principle of being diligent and thrifty and taking simplicity as the government. How did it become a drama of loyalty in a blink of an eye, and you grew old too quickly. But even if you want to change, tell me! Change the topic at every turn, is there a minimum of respect and trust between people?

Of course, any exam questions are not a problem for Li Kui.

Isn't it just writing?

The argumentative essay format is put on, and then it can't be done, and I retreat and ponder the eight-strand essay for a while. Although the Baguwen has been criticized, the format of the article is very well-adjusted, implying the beauty of the coherence of the official documents. As long as you take it out, you don't dare to say that it is amazing, right? At least it can attract a wave of eyeballs.

"The king of the past is young, and the ministers are meritorious, and the danger is like a tired egg, and there is a doom of destruction overnight......"

Li Kui wrote on the draft.

Looking up, Li Yun, who was not far away, still looked like he was about to die. The scale of the Great Song Dynasty was not as large as the township examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the talents of fifty or sixty, or even seventy or eighty counties competed in the same field, and thousands of people rushed to take the exam, and more than 100 people were admitted. It was necessary to have a large tribute academy to accommodate the examinations.

Some states in the Great Song Dynasty have only two counties under their rule, and there are four or five counties in larger ones, and the small ones are pitiful. The scale of the test is not much larger than that of the county test, and the state school is enough to accommodate all the candidates.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to the selection of lifters. The main thing is that there is no need, all over the country are sending people to participate in the provincial examination, what is it?

A truly talented and capable student, isn't that one who studied in a top government-run academy and was recommended to go directly to Taixue for further study? The quality of the students who stay in the local area is not very good. Except for a few special areas, the Great Song Dynasty's examination was just a gathering of officials and people.

For example, the Kaifeng Mansion and the Tianfu Test, which is the life and death field where the human brain beats the dog's brain, is naturally very different.

Fortunately, there are surprisingly many places in these two places, at least it will not make students worry that they will lose their name if they do not compete for the first place.

Half-time.

Fan's parents opened their little short legs and secretly appeared in the examination room.

Seeing that Li Yun's bookcase had the same food as yesterday, he immediately squinted his eyes happily, shook the ground quickly in small steps, and sat opposite Li Yun the next moment.

Li Yun described himself as a man with clear grievances, and after glaring at Shuangqing, he buried his head and continued to eat. It doesn't matter that Shuangqing's little paw is placed on his sauce meat.

It's a pity that in a bad mood, I don't have a good appetite. Can't eat that much. Moreover, Li Yun's lunch was made according to Li Kui's standards, and in terms of eating, he couldn't beat Li Kui to death. There are a lot left, pancakes, sauce and meat, and most of the packets are left.

Shuangqing felt a kind of joy wrapped in happiness, and said to Li Yun: "Brother Yun, are you still eating?" Don't eat I took it away. ”

"No, you can eat it, but you can't take it away."

Li Yun stretched out his hand to stop Shuangqing, and the endless sadness in his angry eyes was revealed.

Fan Shuangqing was young, and he was infected by Li Yun's grievances, and he was frightened. The frightened didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to burp back empty-handed. When he came to the examiner's room, Fan Chunren was waiting for him with blank eyes? Seeing that he was empty-handed, he said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? ”

"Master, you have always broken their hearts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat and drink in the future, burp ......"

Listening to Shuangqing's reply, Fan Chunren was still a little uneasy at first, and he didn't want to hurt anyone and children. Li Yun's personality, that is, like a half-grown child, is very immature. I hurt him unintentionally, I'm afraid I'm really embarrassed in the future. It's just that he was also very annoyed, he thought he could eat for three days, but he didn't expect to stop eating for one day.

What's even more infuriating is that his grandson came back full.

But there is one person he must pay attention to, and that is Li Kui. Compared with Li Yunlai, Li Kui's mind is more mature, although he is also very unreliable, but Li Kui's unreliability does not come from his mind, but from his character. In Fan Chunren's opinion, Li Kui's mind has matured, and his means and abilities are good, and offending such a person is not a good thing for him.

There are three big characters on his character label - good old man.

What is a good old man, it is easy not to offend people. Even if you offend people, you offend those who can afford to provoke them.

Fan Chunren is dying of old age and has entered old age, but what about Li Kui? Rising like the rising sun, if nothing else, it will surely shine brightly in the future. Although this kid is lazy, in his opinion, fourteen-year-old Li Kui can rely on his own strength to play with the big families in Yingzhou, how can this be done by ordinary people?

Even him, I'm afraid he can't do it.

Worried, Fan Chunren asked, "How is Li Kui?" ”

"He eats, I can't rob him!"

When Fan Shuangqing said this, he only had a dry stare.

When Li Kui ate, he made two movements, staring, his neck was thick, and half a catty of meat went down; stared again, his neck was thick, and half a catty of pancakes went down...... Fan Shuangqing sometimes feels that when he watches Li Kui eat, he is like a little earth dog wagging his tail, running and jumping, looking at the meat in Li Kui's hand, and then the meat is gone...... It's a sad feeling.

However, Fan Shuangqing, as the old man's little follower, has some eyesight, and he thinks that Li Kui should not be affected: "You don't have to worry when you are old, he seems to have done a good job of the article, and he can submit the paper after transcribing it in the afternoon." ”

Fan Chunren relieved himself, stretched his waist, touched his hungry stomach, and muttered, "I'll go to Yan Tongju to see if I need help?" ”

Fan Shuangqing looked at the back of his uncle and ancestor quite helplessly, you are old, can Yan Tuiguan still eat?

Whether you dare to eat or not is another matter!

Not to mention that the old man Fan Chunren put on his kind smile and cheated to eat and drink.

Li Yun looked at the big bag of food left behind, and his teeth itched with anger, but what could he do with Old Man Fan Chunren? Although his old man's official position is not the highest, he has a high grade!

Kaifuyi and the three divisions have been fiddling with the pomp and circumstance for more than 20 years, and there is no more confident existence than him in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. Even Zhang Dan, facing the old man Fan Chunren, could only sigh.

The old man who relies on the old and sells the old is very hateful, especially the one who mixes with officialdom, and it is even more of a crime.

But face, when it should be given, must be given.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the Fa Change, Wang Anshi is not a pioneer, the real pioneer is Fan Zhongyan. That's Fan Chunren's father. Most of Wang Anshi's changes are inherited from Fan Zhongyan's changes, and the specific methods cannot be separated from the scope of Fan Zhongyan's demarcation. It can be said that one of the Fa-changing factions is counted as one, and they are all Fan Zhongyan's disciples and grandchildren.

The Fa-changing faction targeted Fan Chunren, which was to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors.

And what about him?

actually walked with the conservatives, it can be said that his old man was both left and right in the court, and he really made him successful.

Li Yun was annoyed, and Xie Qian on the side was even more annoyed.

He was born in martial arts, and reading is just an ornament. At least for the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, he can't be regarded as a scholar who knows Wen Mo at all. The martial artist has a problem, that is, he can't save money. Especially when there is no official to do it, and the family's land and property cannot be the master of the house, it is often shy.

Xie Qian is such a situation.

Nibbling on the cooking cake, which is commonly known as the big white steamed bun. Steamed steamed buns, when it is hot, it tastes good, but once it is cooled, it will be dry and can't get out of your mouth.

What's even more annoying is that Li Yun is sitting next to him, eating fragrant meat and oily burritos.

The Great Song Dynasty called all the noodles cakes. Those with soup are called soup cakes, such as noodles, noodles and fish; Steamed out of the cage drawer, it is called steamed cake, but in the Great Song Dynasty, because of the need to avoid the temple number of Emperor Zhenzong, it was changed to cooking cake, and Wu Dalang actually ran a steamed bread shop; There is also a kind of pancake, all kinds of pans, casually, most of them are dry and tasteless, but they can be kept for a long time. Only when the flour is added with puff pastry, the baked cake is fragrant and delicious, with moderate softness and hardness.

Li Yun simply stopped eating it and asked the messenger to give the meat and cakes to the Shu brothers.

Why not give it to someone else?

Xu is even Li Yun can see that he and Li Kui are only two of the same kind in the test, Xie Qian, Xie Wan brothers. None of the others are of the same kind.

Xie Qian was trying to nibble on the dry cooking cake, the corners of his mouth were full of cake foam, and his throat was dry. Their brothers' pockets are cleaner than their faces, and they can eat cooking cakes, which is already good.

Suddenly, when I saw a bag of meat delivered, I was dumbfounded.

And in the examination room, only the Li Kui brothers ate meat. Others are either not as flamboyant as the Li Kui brothers, or they just can't afford to eat. But why did Li Yun send himself to eat meat?

Want to use small favors to win yourself over?

There are no doors, and the men are also men with a bottom line.

Fragrant, really fragrant.

Xie Qian carefully sniffed the thinly sliced sauce meat, and his saliva was about to flow out. I couldn't help but move my fingers. Try the cake again, it is fragrant and soft, and it is definitely a cake with ghee. The two brothers Xie Qian and Xie Wan were so moved that they almost shed tears, how long had it been since they had eaten such delicious food?

In Li Yun's opinion, the scumbags are cute, especially the scumbags who are worse than him, especially cute.

is like the brothers Xie Qian and Wan reconciled, which made Li Yun have a sense of recalling the unbearable years in the past and feeling the beauty of the present. If you don't have these green leaves, you can't highlight your excellence now.

Life is not satisfactory, but you still have to go on.

The exam preparation is biased, but the exam has to continue.

Li Yun covered his head with a headache, thinking about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and finally put pen to paper, but his head was empty.

Finally when it was time to hand in the papers, Li Yun brushed the 'assassination' of Fan Chunren with his eyes, but unfortunately the old Fan Sanchao veteran, what scene has he not seen? also gently encouraged Li Yun with two sentences: "Since ancient times, studying diligently has been the path, but if you don't do well in the exam this time, it doesn't matter, as long as you know the shame and then be brave...... In the future, if you succeed in your studies, you will have the opportunity to repay the king and contribute to the court. ”

Li Yun didn't listen to a word, he only knew one thing, he was deceived. The key is that after being deceived, the old man on the other side said to him with a smile: "Work hard, the Great Song Dynasty will be yours in the future." ”

What's even more annoying is that when he walked out of the gate of the examination room, Li Kui still stared at him and mocked: "Boy, you're dumbfounded!" If you don't listen to your second brother, you will suffer a big loss, right? ”

Li Yunfa said fiercely: "Second brother, I want revenge!" ”

"Revenge?"

Li Kui's eyes widened, and then he sneered again: "If he dares to do this, he is not afraid of retaliation, you kid is still thinking about how to explain, right?" If you really can't do it, just go to the martial arts test, I estimate that you have a good chance of passing the martial arts test. ”

"I ......"

Since he joined Sumen, Li Yun also looked down on martial artists. It's not that I look down on martial artists, to be precise, it's that after having a sense of superiority as a scholar, I have always classified myself as a scholar. He thinks that he is a little higher than the martial arts, especially after participating in the imperial examination, he has positioned himself at the height of civil and military all-rounders.

Suddenly, I have to rely on hard work to seek fame, and the technical content is too low, and it is still difficult to accept it in my heart.

Li Yun cursed fiercely, and he must take revenge.

And you must let Fan Chunren know that he is wrong. But let Li Yun think, he really couldn't think of any good way.

He pondered, what does Fan Chunren have in mind?

When he returned to his residence, he suddenly thought that when he was in Yingzhou, there seemed to be something that could make Fan Chunren completely realize his mistake. That is the favorite of Mr. Fan Chunren's life, and he has a good heart.

Just do it when you think of it, Li Yun put down the book and didn't read it, anyway, it was mostly cold to solve the test, and he rushed out of Liu's mansion like a gust of wind and went outside the city.
