Chapter 164: Ouyang Xiu
After sitting for a while and figuring things out, Liu Xin's mood brightened up again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Gongxuan enveloped Chen Zhengping? Then let him be enveloped, and when the training is completed and the yamen is assigned, let him go outside on an errand for a few years, and see if he is still enveloped?
To put it bluntly, Xu Ping doesn't need to look at Lu Yijian's face as an official, his promotion is naturally remembered by the emperor, and when the time comes, he doesn't need to write into the book at all, and the edict will come down directly. Xu Ping has no handle to grasp in the hands of others, and his reputation is not bad, whether it is a political hall or a house, can he still return the edict? That's not nothing!
If you don't ask him, you won't get used to him. Although the three divisions are still under the management of the political affairs hall, since the three divisions have had a separate playing time for the early dynasty, their independence has been much greater than before, and they don't have to rely on others.
Xu Ping and Lu Yijian are well water and do not violate the river water, and they will be safe and sound if they keep their duties, and they will naturally ignore him if they overstep their duties.
Liu Xin left, and Xu Ping sat on the chair in a daze for a while.
The three divisions are in charge of the world's money and property, and I don't know how many officials are staring at this piece of fat. If you pick out a little bit of it, it is a huge amount of wealth. Those treasury divisions with human rights in the three divisions are closely watched by the elites. When Tian Guo was the third envoy, he was surrounded by powerful people every day and asked his children to serve in these places, and he did not refuse solemnly, laughed in person, and acted according to his own wishes afterwards. After the three envoys were done, they said that they laughed all the year round, and their face was almost like boot leather.
Now it is much better than back then, one is that since the time of Taizong, officials are not allowed to come to the three divisions without any trouble, and the other has been divided a lot by the treasury department with human rights. Despite this, it is inevitable that the high-ranking magnates will reach out to the three divisions.
Xu Ping is not violent, he acts like he was in the same situation as he was back then, he never tears his face with others, but he also does not trade with the power in his hands. In the eyes of others, the current Xu Ping is a little slippery.
The sun was shining outside, and it was the hottest time just after noon. The yamen in the three divisions is also quiet, most of the yamen officials who have few things have already gone back, and those who have a lot of things are also taking advantage of this time to take a lunch break.
Standing up, Xu Ping stretched and walked out of the door.
In the hall outside, Wang Gongchen and the others were sitting on chairs in a daze. I just ate the buffet in the yamen, and I took a break to eat, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Hearing the footsteps, Fang Kai opened his eyes and saw that it was Xu Ping coming in, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "I don't know if the deputy envoy is coming, don't be sneering!" ”
As soon as Fang Kai spoke, the others also woke up and saluted Xu Ping one after another.
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Don't sleep, I have something to say when I get up." ”
Everyone got up and let Xu Ping sit on the seat and listen respectfully.
Xu Ping said: "The first draft of the new regulations has been completed, and I have read it there and handed it to the head of the stone pavilion to ask him to print it as soon as possible." This is the end of our business, and although there are many more things to follow, they are not as urgent as they are now. Tomorrow will be off, and I will plead with the provincial lord to intercede with you, and the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will rest for two more days, and the court has already informed you. In the past three days, everyone has a good rest to make up for the hard work of this period of time. ”
Wang Gongchen listened and said, "Where to rest?" ”
After speaking, several people looked at Xu Ping together.
Is rest just a matter of lying at home and sleeping? If you want to go out to play, everyone doesn't have enough money, so you have to eat Xu Ping, a big family. To put it bluntly, the ministers in the yamen of the capital have little money, and there is no place to pay for food, drink and fun. If you do the Zhizhou general judgment in the local area, where will it be so pitiful, you can play wherever you want, and you don't have to worry about money at all.
Xu Ping had no choice but to say: "Now that the spring is bright, it is natural to go out of the city for fun." In this way, I have a grange in Zhongmu County, and if there is nothing else to do, I will go there for a few days to relax and relax. ”
"So much the best!" Wang Gongchen clapped his hands, "I have heard that there is everything in the deputy envoy Zhongmu Tianzhuang, and the best spirits in the capital are brewed there, and there are cattle and sheep everywhere, and there is no shortage of food and drink." Let's go there and open our minds and eat a full meal first! ”
Everyone laughed together, despising Wang Gongchen only knew one to eat.
Xu Ping said: "Han Zhigui and Wu Chunqing went there in the same year last year, although they were wild, but the places to play were too simple. Now there is a garden in the village, which is much stronger than last year, and you will not be shabby to go. ”
Everyone applauded together, everyone knew that Xu Ping's family was rich, and he said that it was not shabby, it must be very good.
Xu Ping was a little helpless, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, at first he originally wanted to build Zhongmu Tianzhuang into a place to play, and he could contact his colleagues if he had nothing to do. I didn't expect to build half of it, and I bought land outside Wansheng Gate to build a new mansion, and the place was much larger than the original small courtyard in the city, and there was no need for Zhongmu there. But the construction has already begun, and it is difficult to stop, so it is still completed according to the predetermined plan. There is no shortage of money at home, so it should be built and played, and it will always be useful.
When other people's families build gardens, even if they are the princes, they have to start saving money in advance, and often put how many years of savings into it. Xu Ping is only limited by the lack of land, and there is never a shortage of money. Whether it is the production in Zhongmu Pastoral or the sale of liquor, the Xu family has huge profits, and Xu Ping's daily income is just his pocket money.
After settling down, Xu Ping said: "It's past noon, and it's not early." From the capital to Zhongmu, there are dozens of miles on the road, if we want to arrive today, we have to leave as soon as possible. There was nothing to do in the yamen today, so everyone went home to clean up, and in an hour they met me at my house in the west of the city, and we set off together. ”
Wang Gongchen asked, "Can you call the others to go with you?" ”
"Naturally, there are a few more people and nothing." Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen, "What, what do you have to make friends in the capital, and you want to take this opportunity to warm up?" ”
Wang Gongchen was a little embarrassed: "Two days ago, a few people in the same year left the Xijing Shogunate with their friends and came to the capital to serve in the pavilion. Take this opportunity to invite them once, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. ”
all know that Wang Gongchen's family has a heavy burden, and his life is not easy, and no one laughs at him. When a friend came, how could he get a famous restaurant to eat once, and then call a few famous female prostitutes to come over and sing a song, so as to be worthy of his current identity. The capital is extravagant, and such a circle of hospitality is not a small amount of money for the current Wang Gongchen, he is really painful.
And those people in the Xijing shogunate have already been raised, and they are a little shabby, I am afraid that they have something in their hearts, and Wang Gongchen has not been able to make up his mind for the past two days.
During the Tiansheng years, Qian Weiyan was blocked by the ministers, and he was not able to successfully enter the political hall, so he went to Luoyang with infinite unwillingness to stay in Xijing. During this period of time, Qian Weiyan's shogunate concentrated a large number of literati, and under his protection, a lot of momentum was formed. Now that Qian Weiyan has been demoted to Jinghu, and those shogunates have also reached the beginning of their careers, several of them have been recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China to serve as pavilions in Beijing.
Historically, these people were known as the Qianmu literati, who had a profound influence on the later Song Dynasty literary circles and were also the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty Ancient Literature Movement. Among the people Xu Ping was familiar with in his previous life, there were Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and Zhang Xian, and other people who were already famous for their poetry and literature at this time were Yin Zhu and Mei Yaochen and others, most of whom were Jinshi in the Heavenly Sage period.
These jinshi are different from Xu Ping, the unlucky guy who was assigned to Lingnan as an official, they are deeply appreciated by Qian Weiyan, who can write and write, and under his protection, they live a fairy-like life. They basically don't have to deal with daily government affairs, they just gather and play everywhere every day, appreciate each other's poems and writings, and their literary achievements are advancing by leaps and bounds.
After Qian Wei's performance, Wang Shu sentenced Xijing Luoyang, shocked by the poetry and literary achievements of these people, and recommended many people to enter the pavilion. Later, although Wang Zeng stayed in Luoyang for a short time, he also recommended a few people.
Different experiences have developed different personalities, these people have become famous as teenagers, most of them think highly of themselves, forge ahead, and comment on the world at every turn, and Xu Ping's character honed by many facts is completely two people.
Qian Weiyan is good at drilling camps in his career, and he is good at making friends with powerful people, such as marrying Liu Mei, the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Liu, and marrying Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth king, and has a very bad reputation. But because of the appreciation and excavation of this group of people, the historical reputation turned out to be good.
In the final analysis, a person's reputation in the future generations must have their own merits, and they must also have future generations to boast about themselves. As soon as the family background withers, even the evaluation of one's own merits will be reduced, which is no way to do it.
Although it was not all the way, Xu Ping did not reject them. Each has its own path, there is no right or wrong, it only depends on personal choice. And although these people are not big now, their fame is not small, and they can affect the reputation among scholars. In this era, other people's evaluations are not false, and they can really be exchanged for official merits, so why exclude them?
Bidding farewell to everyone and leaving the Sansi Yamen, Xu Ping took his entourage all the way back to his small courtyard in the inner city.
As soon as he entered the door, the little servant at home came up and said, "Junhou, an official came to visit the family in the afternoon, saying what is Ouyang Xiu of Luling." You're not at home, he's talking to Mr. Lee. ”
Whoever came to mind, I didn't expect Ouyang Xiu, the later great leader of the literary world, to come to visit me. Speaking of which, I think he still participated in the imperial examination in the same year as himself, but he fell in that session, waited for a few years, and was taken away by Wang Gongchen. Fortunately, he is really capable, and in recent years, he has become famous and famous all over the world with his articles.
When I entered the living room, I saw a young man sitting in a guest seat, who didn't know what to say, and was full of energy.
Li Ji, who was accompanying him, saw Xu Ping coming back, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "The marquis is back, and he didn't come out to greet him, forgive me!" ”
Ouyang Xiu, who was in the guest seat, stood up and gave a deep salute to Xu Ping: "Ouyang Xiu of Luling, now he has entered Beijing to proofread the pavilion, he took the liberty to visit, and asked the marquis of the county to forgive his sins!" (To be continued.) )
