Ouyang Xiu was embarrassed to appear in the Shen family again.

Shen An smiled very kindly, as if the contradiction between the two sides was just an illusion.

Ouyang Xiu said ashamedly: "I was narrow-minded before, but I was an old man, and I was blindly emotional......

"You're thinking too much, it's just a little misunderstanding, that ...... Honestly! ”

"Lang Jun."

Zhuang honestly appeared quietly.

Shen An waved his hand and said, "Bring a pen and paper." ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't know what he meant, and later the pen and paper were sent, Shen An personally sharpened the ink, and said lightly: "Ouyang Gong should know that Shen is not greedy for money, but this money is for Izumo to continuously produce good steel from now on, and the formula of this good steel is bought with real money and silver in the court, and it is comfortable to use and justifiable......"

Poor old Ouyang blinked his old eyes, thinking to himself, what are you doing here?

Shen An handed over the pen and said very sincerely: "Ouyang Gong, you can write a number casually, and Shen has no opinion on a penny......

Ouyang Xiu subconsciously took the brush, and without the slightest hesitation, he wrote the highest price that he had previously negotiated with Zeng Gongliang.

But Zeng Gongliang said at that time that he would strive to break in half......

Ouyang Xiu regretted it after writing it, but he still said with a straight face; "That's very good."

But he repented of his bowels.

The old man has fallen for this kid's big fool!

This kid quietly put the old man on a high place, and he couldn't ...... up and down Sure enough, it's a little fox!

Shen An praised: "Ouyang Gong doesn't know the days of those Taoists...... What a bitterness! With this money, their lives will be better, and they will think that they will also think of your good when doing their homework, and they will naturally be blessed in return. ”

People feel at a loss when they feel old, and the first thing they do is worry about death. At this moment, whether it is Confucianism or anything, as long as it can calm the mind, that is the place where the soul returns.

This kind of fear and terror was naturally incomprehensible to others, and after returning to the Privy Council, Ouyang Xiu remembered to explain to Zeng Gongliang.

Zeng Gongliang could only roll his eyes and express helplessness when he learned about it, but he did not object.

Zeng Gongliang is so easy to speak?

This is respecting my old Ouyang, right?

So Ouyang Xiu felt that his mind was balanced.

On the very second day, the second phase, which had been vacant, came to fruition.

"Is it Zengxiang?"

"Yes, it's Zeng Xiang."

The entire Privy Council was beaming, only Ouyang Xiu was sighing.

He knew he had been deceived.

Zeng Gongliang knew that he would be transferred out of the Privy Council soon, so that money was a favor.

Favors to Shen An.

Shen An also knew that the result was like this, so he was as steady as Mount Tai and was not in a hurry at all.

Only the old man was kept in the dark!

Ouyang Xiu felt that he was not suitable to be an official, so he was very sad for a while, and then a will gave him a surprise.

……

"Ouyang Xiu is participating in politics, and Zhang Sheng is a privy envoy."

The court changes again, but this change comes every few years, so it's good to get used to it. It's just that you should pay attention to personnel changes, and if you are in the right position, you have to deal with it.

Shen An sat and watched the situation, but ushered in an unexpected guest.

"Han Xiang? Rare guests. ”

Han Qi's arrival made Shen An almost break his work, but fortunately, this guy was thick-skinned, so after some greetings, he successfully stabilized his mood.

When facing these old guys, you have to be calm, if you are distracted or fooled, the consequences will be terrible.

Han Qi seemed to be casually greeting, and suddenly asked, "What does Anbei think about the prince's affairs?" ”

That's the pit!

Shen An glanced at Han Qi and said, "A certain official position is low, so he is naturally not qualified to point fingers at such a major event. ”

Don't try to pit me!

Han Qi smiled and sighed: "The official position is low, but this matter is related to the future of the Great Song Dynasty......

Seeing that Shen An still didn't move, his fat face trembled, and he sighed: "The body of the official family...... It's getting worse and worse. ”

Shen Anxin was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "But the official family is still in the upper court." ”

As Zaifu, Han Qi has the most say in Zhao Zhen's physical condition.

Although Chen Zhongheng and others are close attendants, Zhao Zhen has various methods to cover up the situation of his body, and those people dare not ask, only Zai Fu can dare to test the real situation.

The energy and physical condition of an emperor are almost impossible to hide in the face of complicated political affairs.

"The official family doesn't like to talk many times, it's not that his temperament has changed, it's ......"

Weak!

Shen An knew that Han Qi didn't dare to coax himself with such a thing, and he couldn't help but be gloomy.

"If you don't decide on a prince now, do you have to wait until that time?"

Han Qi's face was full of coldness, as if he was not talking about the emperor's death, but calling on Shen An to come together to denounce the next-door neighbor for beating the child.

"The emperor is not a vegetable seller, it is impossible to go up suddenly, it will be a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty......"

Shen An finally said his opinion, and Han Qi said with a smile: "Exactly, so...... He is good friends with the royal palace of Runan County, and he is still a famous doctor...... I can often see ......."

Looking at Han Qi's white and chubby face, Shen An was in a trance for a moment, wondering when did this guy become fat?

"This miracle doctor can only have some home remedies, and the official family doesn't know anything about the condition, if he starts, it is no different from rebellion."

Shen An really doesn't understand medical skills, if he is forced to go up, he will still be fooled except for flickering.

There was no disappointment in Han Qi's eyes.

The life and death of the official family is the destiny of heaven, and it is beyond the power of man.

This is the consensus of the important ministers, as Liu Bang said when he was seriously ill: Lao Tzu was just a small person back then, carrying a long sword to cut out the country, this is God's approval. This life is given by God. Now God is going to take Lao Tzu away, and everything is nonsense.

But Han Qi's purpose was not for this.

"I heard that Xiao Langjun of the Runan County Mansion has been very studious recently?"

He asked nonchalantly.

Shen An instantly understood his intention, so he nodded and said, "Yes." I heard that Han Xiang is very knowledgeable, and if he can get one or two teachings, he will grow a lot in Zhongjiao. ”

Han Qi smiled slightly, got up and said goodbye.

Shen An sent him outside the door and said, "I will go to the county king's mansion later." ”

The smile on Han Qi's face became even more, and he smiled, "That's very good." ”

……

Shen An went to the Junwang Mansion and found Zhao Yunrang.

"Anbei hasn't come to see the old man since he returned from the southwest, but is he dissatisfied?"

The weather was hot, Lao Zhao was lying on his side on the couch, and Asu in the back was scratching his back.

Shen An looked at the old servant and Asu, and Zhao Yunrang lowered his eyes slightly: "They are all people around the old man." ”

Since he didn't shy away from it, Shen An didn't care: "King of the county, Han Qi just went to my house......"

Zhao Yunrang's face was filled with joy, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Where did he go next?" ”

Sure enough, it's an old fox!

Shen An smiled, "I went to the Huayuan County Mansion again." ”

Who is Han Qi?

He would not be loyal to an emperor, his eyes were always on the political hall, hoping that he would stay there forever.

Zhao Yunrang said contemptuously: "He is betting at both ends, no matter who goes up, he Han Qi can be reused." ”

Later, news came that Han Qi suggested that the official family select suitable candidates from the clan to enter the palace.

Official, it's time to prepare an heir.

This is a beginning, and then Sima Guang is on it.

"Sima Guang said that he chose the son of the clan to enter the palace first, and regarded him as a fake son, and he was not established as the prince first...... Subsequent...... If someone in the harem gives birth to a prince and sends the fake son out of the palace, it will not affect anything...... Now the selection of candidates is just to settle the hearts of the people and think that they are prepared. ”

Zeng Gongliang drank frozen juice and said the situation beautifully: "Han Xiang...... Today, His Majesty scolded Han Xiang, saying that he was forcing the palace ......"

This has just taken over as the deputy prime minister, and his arrival at the Shen family at this moment is quite eye-catching.

A false child can be understood as a righteous son.

This suggestion is very practical, and it can be seen that Sima Guang has been thinking about it for a long time.

Zeng Gongliang asked: "There are a lot of people who are sparse now, why don't you move?" ”

Shen An's eyes were not shocked: "Su Shi wants to prepare for the subject exam, and he is very busy." ”

Zeng Gongliang nodded and asked casually, "I heard that Han Xiang has been here?" ”

"Yes, the same thing."

They all have the same purpose, they all want to bet around first, so that the two county kings know their hearts.

- We are making a fuss, we all support whoever is in power.

Shen An sent Zeng Gongliang away concisely, and then explained: "If there are any more visitors, it will be said that someone is sick." ”

As soon as they heard that he was sick, those visitors were indeed extinct, but Zhao Zhongjun and them came.

"It's fine."

Shen An explained one by one, and after Su Shi also came, he couldn't help asking: "I'm going to the secret pavilion to take the exam soon, and I dare to go out at this time?" ”

The Secret Pavilion has a long history, sounds very mysterious, and is actually just a place to store books.

The subject examination is placed in the secret pavilion, and the cultural taste is very strong.

Su Shi saw that he was in good health, so he said lightly: "The secret pavilion tried the six theories, and others regarded it as a daunting path, but a certain one was overjoyed and couldn't wait." ”

The so-called Six Treatises of the Secret Pavilion are the six questions.

There are six argumentative questions, with different origins, and the difficulty can make the candidates feel that they are in heaven.

The most important thing is that each question must be written in more than 3,000 words, and it must be written very well, otherwise it will be considered a failure.

The Secret Pavilion tried the six theories, and that was the difficulty of hell.

The most daunting thing is that these six questions must be done in one day and one night.

Super difficult questions, plus a super luxurious lineup of examiners. Complete the prescribed questions within the specified time, and then the examiners will discuss it collegially, and only those who are excellent can enter the palace.

Yes, the six theories that are so difficult are just the first exams, and then the officials will come to take the test in person.

Shen An felt that this was not done by people, but Su Shi was full of confidence, as if he was just going to drink with people, chatting and farting by the way.

This genius is different!

Wang Yanyin said predictively: "My father seems to have said something...... I will go to the Secret Pavilion as an examiner. ”

What?

Lao Wang turned out to be one of the examiners?

Shen An smiled and said, "Yuan Ze! Brother, what do I think about? ”

"Okay."

Before meeting Shen An, Wang Yan had no friends, and arrogantly thought that he stood on the highest place in the world, and no one could stand side by side with him, not even the emperor.

At that time, he was less human and out of step with the world.

After getting to know Shen An, he gradually changed, became gregarious, and became human.

That's why Wang Anshi would let him mess with Shen An without interfering, otherwise Lao Wang would have beaten him with a stick and broken up their so-called Great Song Quartet.

Shen An said sincerely: "Go home and tell your father about ......"

Is this to open a back door to someone?

Su Shi was grateful, but he refused to show favoritism, so he said: "Anbei can't ......"

Shen An ignored him and continued: "Let Dad make it more difficult and difficult. ”

Let's go!

Wang Yan nodded in response, and then looked at Su Shi proudly.

Thinking of Lao Wang's old-fashioned face, Su Shi couldn't help but shudder, and said with a bitter face: "Anbei is digging a pit for someone!" ”

Any difficulties are fake, Shen An is decompressing him.

Then came a barbecue party, and when the smell of meat and smoke filled the sky over the Shen family, Zhao Zhen in the palace was also annoyed.
