Prime Minister

Chapter 304
After drinking tea, the maidservant brought Fubi Feng Jing soup, water, towel and handkerchief to apply on the face.

The maid served hot soup to Feng Jing, and cold water to Fu Bi.Feng Jingzhi's father-in-law used to use ice and snow fermented noodles when he was young, but he has never used hot soup for decades. Even in winter nights, he still uses cold water fermented noodles.

After the two face up.

Fu Bi took the words and continued to speak to Feng Jing: "You and Wang Jiefu and Wu Chongqing have been friends for the same year, so do you know that Zhang Duzhi is Wu Chongqing's son-in-law?"

Feng Jing heard the words and said: "My son-in-law has never heard of this matter."

Fu Bi said: "At the beginning, Wu Chongqing was demoted because of empress Wen Cheng's negligence. You were the one who spoke out for him, and you were almost demoted yourself. You two should have a deep friendship because of love and reason. Why are there few contact?"

Feng Jingdao: "Old Taishan, Wu Chongqing is a man with many faces. You can see that Uncle Ouyang Yong, Uncle Lu Hui, Xia Song, Wen Xianggong, Fan Jingren, and Wang Jiefu are married. There are both gentlemen and villains among them. There is no doubt that neither side will be offended. it goes without saying."

Fu Bi had guessed when he heard Feng Jing call Xia Song directly.

Xia Song was the privy envoy back then, using Shi Jie's fraudulent death as an excuse to fabricate rumors that Fu Bi colluded with the Liao army and conspired to rebel.Song Renzong listened to Xia Song's one-sided words, and almost sent someone to dig up Shi Jie's coffin.Fu Bi was hit hard by this and almost bid farewell to the political arena.

Because of the marriage between Wu Chong and Xia Song, Feng Jing was so angry that he almost broke up with Wu Chong.

Fu Bi was silent for a moment and said: "If it weren't for what Sun Yuangui said back then, I would have spent five years to dispel the hatred that was condensed in the past. Now that Xia Wenzhuang has passed away for many years, what's the point? How can we talk about the two parties of gentlemen and villains, there are many people who seem to be in harmony but are different, and there are many people who are the same but not in harmony."

Feng Jing asked: "Then Lao Taishan and Ji Xianxiang are now harmonious but different, or are they the same but not harmonious?"

Fu Bi said: "I have been friends with Zhigui for decades, but we have been friends for three years, but we are strangers. The emperor wants to make me fall in love, but Han Zhigui doesn't even say a perfunctory word to persuade me to stay. Chu Zhongshu will repeat the conflict between Fan Lu and Er for quite a long time, now that the government is not in good shape, the reserve position is not yet determined, and the country is in troubled times, I might as well take the initiative to take a step back to eliminate party disputes."

Feng Jing said indignantly: "At the beginning, Prime Minister Jixian was in the Privy Council, and he communicated with Lao Taishan in everything, and even said to Lao Taishan, 'I will do things with brothers', but since he became Prime Minister Jixian, he has completely forgotten about it."

Fu Bi said: "Husband and wife have bumped into each other for three years, let alone the two prime ministers?"

"Zhigui and I just disagree on official matters. If Mr. Wen is in power, Zhigui will still treat me like a brother. You must remember that there is no personal grudge between me and Zhigui. There is an end to evil. That's why I want you to pay a visit to Zhigui at the mansion."

Feng Jing immediately understood Fu Bi's intention, got up immediately and said: "My son-in-law, remember."

Fu Bi said: "You and Chongqing have been friends for the same year, and you have a mutual support and friendship. Don't break up your relationship. And his son-in-law Zhang Duzhi, please help me to see if this son is a talented minister. .”

Feng Jing asked: "Why did Dad mention this Zhang Duzhi again and again? I remember that when he came to the house to submit the papers, he had some disrespectful words. Is it just because he is Wu Chongqing's son-in-law?"

Fu Bi said: "Chen Gu recommended him to me again and again. Zhang Duzhi is his favorite student."

Feng Jing thought, no wonder, it turned out that Chen Xiang recommended it to Yue Zhang.

Feng Jingdao: "So that's how it is. If Lao Taishan intends to promote the student of Chen Gu, he might as well recommend him to a university."

Fu Bi heard the words and said: "School of system? Will he go?"

Feng Jingdao: "How will you know if you don't try it. He is now the No.

Fu Bi laughed and said, "That's fine. I'll write a letter on this matter. You will go to court tomorrow to discuss it with Uncle Ouyang Yong."

The next day Ouyang Xiu received Fu Bi's letter from Feng Jingna, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Ouyang Xiu met Fu Bi when he was a Jinshi.Ouyang Xiu's first wife, Mrs. Xu, had an old mother who was good at making cold dishes. Fu Bi liked to eat cold dishes, so he often came to Ouyang Xiu's house for dinner.

Ouyang Xiu found out that this old lady would always come to Fu Bi every morning when she was doing cold shopping. He asked how this old lady knew that Fu Bi would come?The old lady said that I am old and I can't sleep well at night. Whenever I hear the sound of armored horses in the distant house at night, the rich scholar will definitely come the next day.

From then on, Ouyang Xiu knew that Fu Bi would be valuable in the future, and respected him very much.

The two have been friends for decades, Fu Bi wrote to ask Ouyang Xiu to say that he would go to a university, and Ouyang Xiu was also in a dilemma, because Han Qi also revealed his intention to him yesterday.Although Fu Bi and Ouyang Xiu have been old friends for many years, Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi are getting closer in their official careers.

After Fu Bi and Ding You resigned as Prime Minister, the position of Zhao Wen Xiang was vacant, and the emperor intended to recruit Han Qi to be Zhao Wen Xiang.

Some people persuaded Han Qi that it is better to refuse the emperor's edict, and wait for Fu Bi to return to the court to serve as Zhao Wenxiang after he is dismissed.However, Han Qi said: "This position can be guaranteed for a long time! If you get rid of Fu Gong's obedience, where is Qi? "

After Han Qi finished speaking, he turned to Ouyang Xiu and said, "If I were Prime Minister Zhao Wen, I would recommend you to the officials as a political advisor."

Ouyang Xiu is now the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he is only one step short of participating in political affairs.

Now that the rich and the Han are at odds with each other, but at the same time they have a crush on Zhang Yue. I wonder if it is his good fortune?Still a bad thing.In fact, when they asked Zhang Yue, why didn't they ask Ouyang Xiu himself?Ouyang Xiu found it difficult to be an official.

Zhang Yue packed up and was ready to go to Chuzhou.

Before leaving, many Tongnian went to Zhang Yue's home to bid farewell. After the set, all Tongnian would never miss this last opportunity to make friends with Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue also engraved more than 100 engraved seals in a short time, and put them in the collection room to sell slowly.

Zhang Yue's engraved seal is now sold for [-] pieces, and many Bianjing officials learned that this engraved seal was engraved by the number one scholar, and the price doubled immediately.According to selling six a month, it is enough to maintain Zhang Yue's return to Beijing from Chuzhou.

Just engraving chapters and chapters can get you a lot of money for a month, and other income is also a lot of money.

Zhang Yue is rich and self-willed now, although he has an official salary, he doesn't need to make a living by collecting food. Zhang Yue renovated the hut he bought before and added a floor, and saved the remaining money to marry his wife.

Zhang Yue took Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong as followers. In addition, Kaifeng Mansion also allocated [-] accompanying officials to ensure safety on the road.

Thinking of the last time he was robbed by the Huai River, Zhang Yue deeply felt that the law and order in the Song Dynasty was really bad. As soon as he left Bianjing, car bandits and road tyrants were everywhere, and the accompanying officials were absolutely necessary.

Zhang Yue hired a carriage and horses, and hired several more healthy horses. The imperial court has regulations on the time limit for officials to take office. Except for Fujian, Sichuan, Guang and other roads, which allow [-] days to take office, the rest of the roads are all limited to [-] days. .

The time is counted from the date of Chaoci.Therefore, the distance is still quite fast, and it is impossible without a good carriage.

What if you miss the deadline?
Less than one day can be whipped ten times, and if it is more than ten days, it will be a year.

Zhang Yue received a letter and gifts from Shi Qi Niang before leaving.

Seventeen Niang gave her more than [-] sticks of medicine. If you feel cold or hot on the road, you can take out decoction and take it.In addition to the medicine stickers, Shi Qi Niang also wrote a letter, in which she carefully told Zhang Yue that "it is not advisable to wash your face early when you are cold", "wash your face with cold water when you have a stomach heat, and you will get sores", "if you are unconscious in the middle of the night, Don't drink cold water, but take off your clothes in a hurry, make you lie on your back with your head high, cover it with sandy soil in the middle of the day or with ashes from a warm stove, then dip a towel with slightly hot soup, and iron your abdomen and flanks, etc.

In addition, Shi Qi Niang also sent several historical books for Zhang Yue to read on the way, and in the letter she exhorted that "reading history can know the affairs of officials, which is enough to learn from the present".

For the other several books related to the library examination, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh that the girl is really far-reaching, and even thought of returning to Beijing for the library exam two years later.Even though the museum test was just a formality for Zhang Yue, it must have been too thoughtful.

Zhang Yue read the letter and gift, and felt that his understanding of the girl had been refreshed again.

So why isn't there a saying not to pick wild flowers on the roadside?It seems that I am very relieved of myself.When Yu Shi saw it, he kept laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

But Zhang Yue looked at the thick book and thought to himself, the so-called opening a book is beneficial.

In the past, I used to study with a utilitarian mind and focus on imperial examinations. Now I can study whatever I want, and I don’t have to stick to the rules and regulations. The only pity is that there are no books by Jin Meimei in the Song Dynasty.

The day before Zhang Yue left, he went back to Taixue, bid farewell to his classmates and teachers, and packed all his luggage and books by the way.

He saw the shop outside the gate of Taixue where he wrote "Lenghuai soup cake" in his own handwriting. Now the plaque is tied with colored silk and hung high on the shop door.Now old man Xu's soup cake shop is full of customers, business is booming, and the dozen or so tables outside are full.

Zhang Yue went back to Taixue after going through the door.

When passing by Chonghua Hall, I saw that many willows were newly planted beside the hall, and the roof was also repaired.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the times when it was raining heavily and lightly, when the rain was leaking in Chonghua Hall to listen to lectures. At that time, the students would rather get wet than keep the books clean.Now that it has been renovated, the students should no longer suffer from the rain.

Zhang Yue feels that every time he leaves the campus, the school will have a lot of construction work, the new teaching building and the basketball court will be cheaper for the students, as well as the newly installed air-conditioning TV, the new projector, all the good things are not for him .

Zhang Yue first paid a visit to Lu Zhidao and other teachers, and faced Zhang Yue, the proud student.The teachers did not hesitate to encourage and praise.

Farewell to the teacher, Zhang Yue returned to Yangzheng Zhai.Everything in the studio is the same as before, but the classmates have changed a lot.

Now that Fan Zuyu has replaced himself as the head of Yangzheng Zhai, Zhang Yue also wants to pass on to him the good luck of the two head of the Yangzheng Zhai.

Huang Haoyi, who is very salty, has now become a vegetarian.

Zhang Yue walked to the furnace pavilion and saw his name was left on the Guangzhai card, which was written by Jiayou as the number one Jinshi in six years.

It's a bit of a big book with the meaning of encouraging those who come.

Seeing Fan Zuyu leading the Yangzhengzhai freshmen looking at him with admiration, Zhang Yue almost shouted out the popular classic saying "Today I am proud of Taixue, and tomorrow Taixue will be proud of me". .

Regardless of whether he said it or not, he has become a role model in the eyes of everyone without knowing it.

Fan Zuyu said: "The head of the house says something!"

Zhang Yue nodded. He only wanted to tell his juniors that the three years of Taixue had been engraved in his memory. He studied hard, persevered and tempered his original intention to become a part of Yangzhengzhai. The common people in the world ask for their orders to repay this turbulent meeting.

In the end, Zhang Yue expressed his encouragement by paying [-] Guanguangzhai money, and all the students were moved to tears after hearing this.

Saying goodbye to Fan Zuyu, Huang Haoyi, Zhang Yue walked out of Yangzhengzhai, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and listened to the rustling of locust trees in Taixue, feeling as if time flies by like a lifetime away.
