Fang Jifan thought about it in his heart, and then said to Ouyang Zhi: "Oh, I never thought that this Yang Yiqing actually got up again from a small official. It's not easy. In this way, he should really thank me, if I hadn't slapped him to the ground and taught him to almost never turn over, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a chance. ”

Ouyang Zhi couldn't answer for a while: "......"

To be honest, Ouyang Zhi didn't quite agree with his teacher's words.

You can't kill someone's father because you killed him, but his son worked hard, because he didn't have a father, so after hanging the beam and stabbing the stock, he was named on the gold list and became a big official, and people would like to thank you for killing your father.

This is bandit logic.

This kind of thinking is unacceptable.

Of course...... Ouyang Zhi didn't dare to refute his teacher, he always said whatever his teacher said, so he only nodded: "This time, Yang Yiqing also arrived in Beijing, and the student once wrote to His Majesty, mentioning him, and His Majesty summoned him to Beijing together, and I think it also has the meaning of taking a teaching test." ”

Fang Jifan was very surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked very seriously: "You will face the saint tomorrow?" ”

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes." ”

Fang Jifan yawned, and then said lightly: "Then, I am afraid that I will have to go with you tomorrow for the teacher, and then, I don't know how Your Majesty will arrange for you, you are now a feudal official, and you have made great contributions, and you are very anxious about your future as a teacher, you are not small, and you can't make a mistake in this career." ”

Ouyang Zhi was moved in his heart.

His mentor is really closer than his own father. It is the luck of my three lives to be able to meet my teacher.

His eyes couldn't help but blur again.

After all, it is sentimental people.

Even if he became a feudal official outside, he was in charge alone, and he had already cultivated a hard-hearted heart, but when he came here, he was still in tears.

Fang Jifan comforted him and told him not to cry, even if he wanted to cry, now he had to hold back his tears and cry in front of the emperor.

Your Majesty, the most soft-hearted, has made great contributions, and if you cry again, the image of this loyal minister and capable minister will all come out, and you are afraid that you will not be able to soar in the future?

There was no word that day.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jifan took Ouyang Zhi into the meeting.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, Fang Jifan met Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing is still the same.

Anyway, they are all old bones, and in Fang Jifan's eyes, there is no difference.

Yang Yiqing saw Fang Jifan, but his mind was extremely complicated.

At the beginning, he wanted to crack down on Xinxue, so he resolutely went to Tongzhou.

But...... When the actual feelings of the people in Tongzhou were shown naked in front of him, he was shocked.

He couldn't imagine that the people under his rule were like refugees, going to Baoding one after another, and countless people regarded themselves as jackals, which almost made people cut out his heart with a knife.

Yang Yiqing was conceited at the beginning, the more conceited he was, the greater the blow he suffered, and it can be said that his lifelong knowledge was subverted.

He simply couldn't accept it.

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty was furious and demoted him to a small official, he was confused at first, but slowly, when he looked at the world, the people and things around him with the eyes of a small official, and then thought about science and new learning, all of a sudden, he began to waver.

He began to slowly absorb these new things, as well as the new knowledge, first in the depths of his heart, there was resistance, and later, he was able to entertain businessmen like other small officials, and even talk to people about the Wealth of Nations views, he also began to pick up the search journal, read the articles in the search journal, and then began to think about the world in a new way.

He became more and more capable, from a small official, to a priest, and then, to a bookkeeper, a county order and a general judge.

What a strange circumstance in life.

At the beginning, he was the one who most defended the fame of the imperial examination.

But when he became a small official, he became the biggest beneficiary of the election of officials as officials, if it wasn't for the election of officials as officials, I am afraid that now he will not have any future.

After Yang Yiqing was silent, the DPRK side saluted.

Fang Jifan straightened his waist and accepted it, not feeling the slightest embarrassment or inappropriateness at all.

Yang Yiqing said respectfully: "The Duke of Qi ......"

"Hmm." Fang Jifan nodded ambiguously, his gaze falling on him.

"Thank you." Yang Yiqing said very sincerely, which can be said to be a heartfelt gratitude.

Fang Jifan was happy, winked at Ouyang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Look, sure enough, he should be thanked as a teacher." ”

Ouyang Zhi: "......"

Well, Ouyang Zhi is used to it.

I haven't seen any strong winds and waves.

So, he was expressionless.

Fang Jifan patted Yang Yiqing on the shoulder: "No thanks, seeing that you can get lost and return, it can be regarded as not in vain My hard work, someone on my side does good deeds, and never asks for anything in return, if you are thanks, it will be too much to see, I heard that you have also taught Ouyang Zhi a lot of knowledge, so in this way, do you regard him as a mentor and friend?" That's better, we'll be a family in the future, if you don't mind, you can call me Master. ”

“……”

Yang Yiqing fell silent.

To be honest, at my age, I really can't say it.

The old man also wants to be faced.

But......

He sighed deeply.

To be honest, what he is thinking about now is not a new learning, following Ouyang Zhi, he has indeed learned a lot of things, although he has not apprenticed to a teacher, he does not have the name of master and apprentice, but he has the reality of master and apprentice.

He looked at Fang Jifan, who was overwhelmed with joy.

bowed down and saluted: "What the students learn comes from Mr. Ouyang, students, rotten wood, if it weren't for Mr. Ouyang's advice, how can I be today." Qi Guogong should be worshiped by the students. ”

Fang Jifan waved his hand and said with a big grin: "Get up, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

Yang Yiqing: "......"

To tell the truth, if it were Yang Yiqing's temper back then, he would have wanted to cut Fang Jifan to the ground a long time ago, but Yang Yiqing is also a person who has managed Ma Zheng, led soldiers, passed the customs, and cut people in the desert.

The old man has done all the etiquette, and you are only now joking?

Are you an old man a public toilet in the new city? Come when you want, go when you want?

He took a deep breath.

Becoming a small official has given him a new temper and a new start in his life, so he has no temper at all at the moment, and his face is still gentle: "This is not a joke, it is actually the last words of the student, don't be suspicious." ”

Fang Jifan sighed.

But at this time, a eunuch came out.

"Your Majesty declares ......"

"Got it."

Fang Jifan responded and took the lead in entering the hall.

Ouyang Zhi and Yang Yiqing didn't dare to slack off, and followed behind Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi sipped tea and sat on the imperial chair, and when he heard that Ouyang Zhi was coming, he was also quite excited.

It is not easy for monarchs and ministers to get along.

What's more, Ouyang Zhijiu is in Baoding Mansion, although he is not far from Beijing, but he has a lot of opportunities in Baoding, and Emperor Hongzhi is not like this.

Now Ouyang Zhi is making great contributions to return to the dynasty, which is even more rare.

If it weren't for Ouyang Zhi opening up the overall situation of the new deal in Baoding Mansion, Emperor Hongzhi would still not be able to figure out the direction of the future.

It is necessary to know that any learning, or in other words, the theory of governing the country and leveling the world, needs to have actual governance to reflect each other, after all, theory needs to be combined with reality. JUST AS AT THE BEGINNING, EMPEROR WU OF THE HAN DYNASTY RESPECTED CONFUCIANISM ALONE, AND THERE WAS ALSO A NEED FOR A MODEL OF CONFUCIANISM GOVERNING THE WORLD, SUCH AS STRENGTHENING THE COLLECTION OF QUAN, IMPLEMENTING MEASURES SUCH AS LEVELING, EQUALIZING LOSSES, CALCULATING AND SUING, AND SUPPRESSING THE POWERFUL, AND SO ON.

And Ouyang Zhi provided a model for the world, declaring to the whole world that the new study and the new policy would work.

The three of them came in, and Fang Jifan and Yang Yiqing had already bowed.

Ouyang Zhi looked dazed, but he was still standing.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw this familiar face, as well as the familiar calm and calm color that could not be more familiar, his eyes suddenly moistened.

He suddenly rose.

Facing Ouyang Zhi's eyes.

At the beginning, he still remembered that in the hall, someone assassinated, and it was Ouyang Zhi who stood in front of him.

A pile of past events, as if the marquee had to be crossed in the mind of Emperor Hongzhi.

Ouyang Zhi reacted at this time, he wanted to bow down and prepare to make a big salute.

"Ouyang Qing's family, you don't have to be polite." Emperor Hongzhi got out of the Golden Palace, walked quickly in front of Ouyang Zhi, helped Ouyang Zhi up, and looked at him.

Ouyang Qing's family is still the same, and they are not shocked by honor and disgrace.

Haha, my son's room.

Emperor Hongzhi's excited face was red, his eyes were moist, and he hugged Ouyang Zhi's arms: "I heard that the Qing family arrived yesterday evening, I was going to see it, and I want the Qing family to come all the way, and it is hard to come, let you rest for the night, haha, you are thinner than before, look at you, your temples are the same as me, they are also white." ”

Ouyang Zhi: "......"

Emperor Hongzhi was accustomed to Ouyang Zhi's silent appearance.

Ouyang Zhi was originally a loyal and honest person, and he didn't expect him to say anything like death in his mouth.

Perhaps, because of this, it seems rare.

The Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, only Ouyang Qing's family stands out.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed with emotion: "Come, give Ouyang Qing's family a seat." ”

Xiao Jing had already moved to Jindun diligently.

When he saw Ouyang Zhi, he was also quite happy, sincerely.

A treacherous person like Xiao Jing, in this life, is wary of anyone, but only for Ouyang Zhi, he knows that he is a pure person, and he can see such a pure person, even if the relationship is not good, it still makes Xiao Jing respectful.

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a resentful face, and his mouth was a little aggrieved.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it at this time, and smiled at Fang Jifan: "Fang Qing's family, you can also get up, and give Fang Qing's family a seat." ”

Fang Jifan sat down busily, and his legs and feet were a little sore.

It was Yang Yiqing, who was still worshipping on the ground.

Last time, Emperor Hongzhi inspected Tongzhou and Baoding, and his impression of Yang Yiqing was very bad.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi were seated, so he turned around, got on Jinluan, and sat down.
