Prime Minister

Chapter 161 Means
The chat between Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo started a conversation, and Wang Anguo couldn't help talking, and continued to persuade the food enthusiastically: "When eating vegetables, the three reminders from Qingfenglou are very good."

Hearing Wang Anguo's greeting, Zhang Yue nodded and ate a few things with his chopsticks.Looking sideways, I saw a waiter serving dishes in the hall, holding three bowls of vegetables with his left hand, and stacking about twenty bowls of vegetables on his right arm from his hands to his shoulders, walking up the stairs skillfully in this way.

Zhang Yue ate several dishes and found them to be very good, but that's all.Speaking of which, Zhang Yue still misses the era when mobile phones traveled all over the country.

Wang Anguo said with a smile: "Life in Taixue is very hard."

Zhang Yue said, "I'm used to it."

"I heard that Zhang Zihou is Saburo's elder brother? Excuse me."

Zhang Yue smiled.

"I don't know who is Saburo's teacher in the village?"

Zhang Yue said: "My teacher is Mr. Boyi."

Wang Anguo said: "Unexpectedly, he is Mr. Boyi's disciple, and he is a master of Sanlang's calligraphy?"

Zhang Yue agreed.

Immediately, Wang Anguo ordered people to fetch paper and pens, and then Zhang Yue wrote running script, then regular script, and finally in seal script.

Wang Anguo sighed: "Sanlang has obtained the true biography of Zhang Boyi. I am afraid that there are few young people today who can be like Sanlang. Well, there are some."

"When I first saw Cai Junmo's (Cai Xiang)'s two nephews, they were not as old as Sanlang, but their calligraphy was generally outstanding."

Cai Xiang's two nephews?Could it be Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers.

Wang Anguo said sternly again: "Just now Sanlang said that benefits should go to relatives first, second to gentry, second to people of the country, second to the world. It is really a famous saying. Sanlang studied under Chen Guling and under the apprentice of Ouyang scholar, but as far as I know, the two of them have never That said, right?"

Zhang Yue said: "That's right, it's my opinion, but I hope it can help Brother Zun."

Wang Anguo said: "Oh? Sanlang and my brother are strangers, why are you willing to say such heartfelt words? To be honest, Sanlang's words just now may not be easily expressed by people who meet for the first time."

Zhang Yuexin said, that's natural, I know your brother from Chinese class and history class. They are all people who are reluctant to mention but have to be impressed by the majority of primary and middle school students.

Zhang Yuedao: "When I read Brother Zun's Journey to Baochan Mountain, I deeply lamented the penetrating training of words, the lofty artistic conception, and the indomitable determination. I used to think it was the best in the world. Now I read "Reading the Biography of Mengchang Jun" and I know that Brother Zun Being stubborn is also a strength."

"For classical Chinese with less meaning, there is nothing better than "Du Mengchang Jun Biography", which is just a hundred words, and each word is like iron. As for the thousand words of the Qin Dynasty, the meaning is so thin, so it is not mediocre."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue pretended to be a slip of the tongue and said: "I took the liberty of slipping my words, please forgive me, Brother Wang."

Wang Anguo smiled boldly: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother is just a stubborn person."

When Wang Anshi visited Baochan Mountain, Wang Anguo also accompanied him there, so at the end of the article, there is a younger brother, Anguoping's father, who is him.

But if this is the case, it is not enough to impress Wang Anguo.

Wang Anshi's fifth Jinshi, Shi Bei, has been a teacher and friend with Ouyang Xiu Zeng Gong, and has been famous all over the world for more than ten years. Of course, there are many admirers.

Of course, Wang Anguo also admired his elder brother, especially his articles, so he asked: "Yes, why does Sanlang like "You Baochan Mountain", but now he likes "Reading Mengchangjun Biography"?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "In ancient and modern times, the so-called Lord Mengchang can get scholars, but in fact it is not. The world thinks that the sea is tolerant to all rivers, and tolerance is great!"

Hearing this, Wang Anguo sighed deeply at Zhang Yue's extraordinary use of words and sentences. These two sentences came from the annotations, and the other came from the Shangshu, which were combined so skillfully by Zhang Yue.

"The ancient world thought that Mr. Mengchang could be said to be a man, but he was not. Now there is a saying in the court that a gentleman can use it, and a villain can also use it. A gentleman has the usage of a gentleman, and a villain also has a usage of a villain. When the two are mixed, they dare not do each other. disaster."

Wang Anguo said: "It's a mistake, how can a gentleman cause disaster?"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Since ancient times, rivers have been turbid and rivers have been clear, but the flooding of rivers can also cover up mountains."

Seeing Zhang Yue's 'you understand' smile, Wang Anguo's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement, "This is a wise saying."

Zhang Yue said again: "So the king likes to flatter and flatter people, and he doesn't even care about the background of the thieves, and then mixes them with gentlemen. But if a gentleman and a villain stand side by side in the court, can the gentleman beat the villain? Or are you willing to fight with the villain?" Is the villain in company?"

"If you can't fight, you won't."

Zhang Yue said: "That's right, when a gentleman and a villain stand side by side, either the gentleman takes care of himself and escapes, but becomes unfaithful, or the gentleman joins forces with others, and finally has to lose his integrity. This principle is not only used in court, but also in self-cultivation and making friends. In this way, you must not be careless in choosing friends, and you must not be 'inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is great'."

Wang Anguo beamed with joy and said, "Of course, Sanlang is truly a genius in the world."

As far as Wang Anguo is concerned, his talents and knowledge are not inferior to his brother Wang Anshi, but it is unimaginable to praise such a young man so much.

However, Wang Anguo's admiration from the bottom of his heart is more than three points. He thought in his heart that apart from his elder brother Wang Anshi, he probably has never seen him in his life. His nephew, Wang Xi, was far inferior to the young man in front of him.

The two were talking happily, and Zhang Yue thought that he had almost said it, that the road had been paved, so shouldn't Wang Anguo say the next sentence, since you want to know my brother, you can do it some other day Let me recommend it for you, no matter what, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day is today.

This is much more reliable than Zhang Yue going to Wu Anchi for a recommendation.

Not only did Wang Anguo and Wang Anshi share the same mother, but they were also the youngest among several younger brothers, so their relationship is naturally very good.

Wang Anguo also admired Zhang Yue quite a lot, but he looked at Zhang Yue from top to bottom, and then said: "Sanlang is young, not only has learned a lot, but also has a good-looking talent, it is really rare, rare. I don't know... I don't know Have you ever been married?"

Zhang Yue shook his hand and almost spilled the cold wine in his hand on the ground.

Could it be that the way literati and bureaucrats appreciate people is to say goodbye to you?
He looked at Wang Anguo and said in his heart, the route seems to have deviated from his expectations, I was going to meet your brother Wang Anshi, but why did it become a blind date?

Zhang Yue had no choice but to answer: "Never."

Wang Anguo was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That's it!"

Looking at Wang Anguo's expression, Zhang Yue once again affirmed the possibility that he would propose marriage to him.

Wouldn't it be to marry a woman from their Wang family?

But Wang Anshi and Wang Anguo don't seem to be handsome, and Wang Anshi has a reputation of being a 'prisoner's face'. Will such a daughter be beautiful?On the other hand, Wu Chong was handsome, expected... Thinking of this, Zhang Yue felt a little sour in his heart.

But all the girls in the Wang family are not simple. First of all, they are very talented. Needless to say, the eldest daughter of Wang Anshi who married Wu Anchi.

Wang Anguo's daughter also has a poem "If you don't want swallows to wear curtains, how will you know when spring goes and spring comes?" ', it can be regarded as a descendant of a celebrity.

As for Wang Anshi's youngest daughter, she is even more powerful.

This woman later married Cai Bian.

Cai Bian'Whenever there is a state affairs, first plan the bed, and then publicize it in the temple'.

Cai Bian listened to his wife in everything. Even when he became a prime minister to discuss state affairs, he had to report to his wife first when he came back, and finally took it to the temple for discussion.The colleagues sarcastically said that what we discussed today is all your wife's saliva.

Even when Cai Bian was prime minister, there was a saying that 'all are nepotisms of wives'.

Hence the term nepotism.

However, Cai Bian has nothing to say about being Wang Anshi's son-in-law. Not only is he his wife's licking dog, but he is also doing his best to curry favor with Lao Taishan.

Even Zhang Dun, who is a member of the New Party, was envious when he saw it.

There is a cloud in the Song people's notes that Zhang Dun looked for a son-in-law for his daughter for a long time, but he couldn't find a good son-in-law, so that he didn't get married after he was 20 years old.Cai Bian asked in surprise, "Is it so difficult to marry the prime minister's daughter?"

Zhang Dun shook his head seriously and said, "It's not that it's difficult to marry, it's just that it's so difficult to find a son-in-law like you (Cai Lang)."

The relationship between Wang Anshi and Wu Anchi's son-in-law is not very good, but he likes Cai Bian very much.

Having said that, Wang Anshi is still very friendly to "Hu Jianren". If he really doesn't like it, he will talk about "Fujianzi" all day long, and he won't both his daughters choose to marry Fujian people.

It's just that the daughters of Wang Anguo and Wang Anshi are very young at this time, only seven or eight years old. How is this possible?
Zhang Yue also laughed to himself, if he really likes to make up his mind, this is a common problem of single dogs!
Zhang Yue said: "When Sanlang came to Bianjing, Bachelor Ouyang already said that he wanted to tell Sanlang a good marriage."

Wang Anguo couldn't help being a little disappointed when he heard the words: "Scholar Ouyang has a good vision."

Wang Anguo and Zhang Yue left Qingfenglou to say goodbye and were about to return to the mansion, but after thinking about it halfway, they went to the mansion of their brother's best friend and brother-in-law Zeng Gong.

Wang Anguo walked to the hall in a hurry, and saw Zeng Gong playing chess with someone. The player who played chess was none other than Han Wei from Zhitaichang Liyuan.

Han Wei is the fifth son of Prime Minister Han Yi, and all eight of his brothers are Jinshi.

As for Zeng Gong, there was another person beside Han Wei, who was written by Lu Gong of Taichang Temple.Lu Gongzhu is the third son of Lu Yijian, and now he is also Wu Chong's in-laws.

Lu Gong was not interested in the chess game, but just drank a cup of wine while admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

Watching this scene, Wang Anguo deeply felt that Lu and Han were really celebrities.

Wang Anguo was familiar with Han Wei and Lu Gong's works. At that time, his elder brother Wang Anshi was in the same class as Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, and Han Wei, and they were friends with each other. Get it in advance (no one else can join this small circle).

Therefore, it is called the Four Friends of Jiayou, and these four people happen to be famous all over the world for their ancient prose.

However, in Wang Anguo's mind, Sima Guang and his elder brother Wang Anshi had the best articles and the best friendship between them.

When Han Wei saw Wang Anguo, he said with a smile, "Pingfu, we were just talking about Brother Ling's two new works, "Ming Concubine Song". Let's see who can compose a poem to match it. Do you have any hesitation in your heart?"

Wang Anguo forced a smile, Ming Concubine is Wang Zhaojun.

This is a palace complaint poem like Nagato Fu. Throughout the ages, palace complaint poems say that a woman is abandoned by a man, so she expresses her deep resentment.But why do many scholars love to write and listen?

Because it is also to express the regret of being underappreciated.

Wang Anshi wrote this Song of Concubine Ming after tens of thousands of words were written, in which Emperor Han Yuan was deeply angry when he saw Wang Zhaojun's beauty, so he killed the painter angrily.There is a vague meaning of blaming Emperor Han Yuan in the poem.

In fact, Wang Anshi may not have lamented that Song Renzong could not appreciate himself and did not adopt his own ideas.

However, Wang Anshi is worthy of being a great talent. As soon as his poems were written, they were praised as the best poems written by Wang Zhaojun, and they became popular in Bianjing for a while.

Lu Gong said with a smile: "Don't embarrass Pingfu. Where did Pingfu come from?"

Zeng Gong's chess game was at a disadvantage, so he racked his brains. He looked up at Wang Anguo and said, "How can Pingfu have time to come here today?"

Wang Anguo said: "I just came here from Qingfeng Tower, and talked with a 15-year-old boy for half a day."

"Oh?" Zeng Gong smiled, "What a 15-year-old boy."

He knew that his brother-in-law often had some weird ideas, how could a 15-year-old boy be so knowledgeable?
"This son is Zhang Zihou's younger brother, Zhang Ziping's family relative..."

"No wonder...he is also a son of a famous family..." Han Wei laughed.

Lu Gong said: "With such an elder brother, it is not surprising that the younger brother makes such big remarks. What do you think, Zigu?"

Zeng Gong pretended to meditate on the chess game and didn't hear...

Immediately, Wang Anguo talked about what Zhang Yue had said before.

Speaking of the beginning...

"Dare to pass Qin Lun..." Han Wei laughed.

Half way through.

Lu Gong immediately asked: "Is it true what this son said? This interest, the rhetoric of vested interests..."

Then Lu Gong wrote again and remained silent.

Han Weidao: "The words of this son really make sense. Qin lost the world, and the Qin people favored the six countries. Therefore, I know the truth that people from the south should not be prime ministers today."

Lu Gong wrote: "Benevolence and righteousness lie in safeguarding vested interests. This statement is too shocking to the world, but it does make sense. But if it is an ordinary ignorant rotten Confucian, I am afraid that it will be criticized."

"Zigu, why don't you speak?"

Zeng Gong smiled and said: "Don't be distracted by holding the country, I will win you!"

Han Wei responded with concentration.

How can Zeng Gong express the distress in his heart.

His cousin, Zeng Fu, was the boss of a county on Jingxi Road, and happened to be under the leadership of Wu Chong, the transshipment department of Jingxi Road.

However, he was prosecuted by the criminal officer because of "being simple and natural, and taking the matter of thieves". The lightest fine was even demoted.For a first-time official, if he carries such a reputation on his back, he will be gone for the rest of his life.Finally, thanks to the transfer of luck, Wu Chong came forward to intercede for Zeng Fu, so he was spared punishment.

Is Wu Chong benevolent?not necessarily.

Zeng Gong didn't know the details of the situation thousands of miles away, and it was hard for him to guess the inside story. After all, he had to thank Wu Chong for the favor in this matter.

Myself, my three younger brothers, and my two brother-in-laws have just won Jinshi. There is still a long way to go in the officialdom.

Unexpectedly, Wang Anguo said at this moment: "Zi Gu, this Saburo is not yet married, don't you have three younger sisters? I came here to tell you."

Zeng Gong has the intention of killing Wang Anguo at this moment, it's really a pot that can't be opened and a pot to be lifted!

PS: There is still a big chapter tomorrow.
