Chapter 163: Couplets and Officials

You still ask what the father does? Just now, if you Shi Baoji didn't say that other people's fathers could have such a thing.

Zhao Xu is also more considerate of the commander of the city patrol battalion, the petty official of the fifth grade, and he is really nothing in this capital.

Anyone who walks out casually may be bigger than his official position, but he doesn't know that his official position is small until he is in Bianjing.

Besides, Zhao Xu and him are also old acquaintances, and they also understand his difficulties, so he asked him to escort these people to Jinyiwei's prison to reads;.

When they get there, lock them up well, this first point Zhao Xu is still relieved of Jinyiwei, as long as he doesn't go, it is estimated that no one will be able to release them.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin goes, I'm afraid it will take some tongues, this is his brocade guard, and he ignores other people's orders.

But this is also a shortcoming, ordinary people can't adjust them, and later because of this, they almost had an accident.

Xu Qiushi and them also bowed their heads and didn't look up, and they also drank together a few times on weekdays.

These little Yanei are still good to him on weekdays, so Xu Qiushi can't tell them the identity of this Xu, but it's okay to hint at it.

"I said a few sons, it's not that I don't take care of you, I can't help it, if I don't do this, my head will move, it's not a matter of his old man's words."

"I can't say his exact identity, but I can tell you that his father is the most powerful and noble person in our Great Song Dynasty."

There is absolutely no one, and there is no one, only the only one, the incomparable one.

"At the same time, this gluttonous incense building is his." Xu Qiushi is interesting enough, is there anything you don't understand when it comes to this?

At this time, Shi Baoji, who was beaten, also knew who the person he insulted was, and cold sweat kept flowing downward.

Their father also knew that his son had insulted the prince outside the Yuxiang Building, and they all hurried to the palace.

And Zhao Xu here went to eat as if nothing had happened, and he didn't take his brother-in-law and his wife to participate in the Raushzi poetry meeting.

Prime Minister's Mansion, today is jubilant, full of lights, as if there is some major day, in fact, this is also a major day.

The poetry club is not only an exchange meeting of literati, but you can explain many talented people here, and if a poem is circulated from here, it is difficult for you to become famous.

You will ask what is the use of this, you have to know what the literati pay attention to, learn good articles, and goods and emperors.

Besides, this is held by the old prime minister of the court and the prime minister Fan Zhen, Fan Zhen was born in a literati, and he liked this thing when he was not the prime minister.

Now that the prime minister is delayed, he still likes it, every year he likes to hold a poetry party or something, even if the dynasty has changed now, he doesn't have an impression of his mood.

The people he appreciated at the poetry meeting eventually entered the court as officials, which was not insignificant, especially for the literati.

Although it is said that he is not the emperor does not have the power to directly appoint officials, but he can recommend it, which is very important.

But there are also some people who have come specifically to build relations with some future upstarts in the DPRK and China, after all, it is not possible to have good relations with the officials of the imperial capital.

There are also some high-ranking officials and nobles in the current dynasty, who were all invited by Prime Minister Fan Qian, and they look similar to the court meeting.

When Zhao Xu and the three of them came, the gate of Zhang's mansion was already impassable, and they were all carriages and sedan chairs, of course, these were just here to give people away.

There was an endless stream of people at the door, all of them were greeting each other, and when they walked into the door, Zhao Xu saw a figure he was familiar with.

Huyanzan.

Yes, it is Hu Yanzan, I didn't expect that this black goods would also come, and he would come here as well.

He also saw Zhao Xu, ignoring the people around him, and quickly ran towards Zhao Xu.

The face is full of joy:

"Haha, it's too ......" Hu Yanzan was covered before he called out the prince, and Zhao Xu still wondered if he could still be recognized like this.

Although I haven't gone through some disguise, I can't recognize it by water, and I didn't expect this thing to be recognized at a glance.

"I said how did you recognize me, old black, this is dressed up."

"Prince" This time Huyan Lao Hei said it in a very small voice, he knew that it was estimated that Zhao Xu didn't want others to know his identity.

"Prince, can I not be familiar with you, plus there is also a tall son, I know it's you at a glance"

Forget about this stubble, familiar people can still recognize him at a glance, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that there are not many people who pay attention to him.

Zhao Xu and Hu Yanzan entered the gate of Zhang's Mansion together, and he was really shocked by the scene in front of him:

A huge hall is full of people, and it seems that there are still many literati, some people are dancing and talking, and some people are sitting and drinking tea.

At this time, most of the people who can be in the mood to sit down are the dignitaries of the court, and those who are talking should be white.

The so-called white body is a scholar who has not achieved fame or has not yet taken the big exam, and this is also the place where they emerge, so they naturally have to perform well.

"The prime minister has arrived," a man shouted.

Then an old man with a red face walked in, and the hall that was still lively just now suddenly fell silent, and they all watched the old man come in.

The old man should be in his fifties by now, but he is still walking like a dragon, and he can't tell that he is an old man at all. You must know that in this era, it is indeed an advanced age to be in your fifties

This old man is the model of the emperor and has stood in the political arena for more than 30 years, but he didn't expect this old man to be a martial artist.

"I've seen the prime minister". The people in the hall saluted Fan in unison.

"Don't be polite, according to the past practice, everyone is free." Prime Minister Fan said kindly.

Although this is said, no one is really casual, after all, this is the first assistant of the current dynasty, and he must always be careful.

After speaking, he sat on the main seat of the hall, and the host was an official of the Ministry of Rites, who also became famous here in one fell swoop, and then won the favor of the chief examiner in the big examination to be able to achieve success.

He cleared his throat and went about his work:

"First of all, thank you for coming to this poetry meeting, and thank you to Prime Minister Fan for organizing it, although it is a poetry meeting, but according to the convention, the first step is to pair pairs."

Zhao Xu was really speechless in his heart at this time, there are still pairs, is it still called a poetry meeting, it is better to hand over a literary exchange meeting.

This is the old prime minister, but he stood up:

"There is an old man in this year's open door union, do you want to know why you want to set up the open door link?" After speaking, he looked at the people below.

There was a lot of talking.

"Could it be that the old prime minister likes couplets?"

"Could it be that the old prime minister wants to test everyone?"

……

"What's there to say about that couplet, isn't it just a neat battle, it should be the same," General Huyan muttered. He's a rough guy and doesn't like this place.

But Fan Zhen invited him to come, and every time he didn't say anything about this kind of thing, this time he didn't know how to say a word.

But this sentence happened to be heard by Fan Zhen, and he waved his hand, and the hall instantly fell silent.

"It's still the general who said it right", which made Huyan Laohei very surprised, he was right, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"The couplet is to pay attention to the neatness of the battle, the number of words on both sides is the same, the form is the same, and the consciousness is similar or contradictory, but the most important thing is to be the same as the inside and the outside, the foundation of being a man this time."

Fan Zhen said very seriously.

This is what I want to say, as a literati, although you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but we literati are indispensable for governing the country.

We cannot replace the soldiers to fight on the battlefield, and the soldiers cannot replace us in governing the country and the localities, which is the strength of our literati.

However, in the beginning, we literati were always upright and selfless, but slowly we became corrupt and corrupted, and the people did not care about life and death.

The appointment of such a literati is to smear the faces of us writers, and such a civil official should be broken into pieces.

The couplets pay attention to the neatness of the battle, why not be an official? To be a good official is to be neat and tidy, and you have to learn from those honest and honest officials who have been injured by history.

Like Lord Wei Renfu of our dynasty, he was honest and honest all his life, abiding by the law and benefiting the people of Li. This is the model for our literati.

The neatness of the battle is to ask us to learn from such predecessors, we must be a good official like Lord Wei Renpu, a clean and honest official, and we must be connected with such a person, so that we can be neat.

Wouldn't this kind of confrontation be better for the country, for the people, and for yourself? ”

Fan Qian, said so much in one breath. The face is not red, and the anger is smooth. Look at the people in the hall again, some with their heads held high, and some with their heads down.

It seems that this prime minister is still good, and he can educate these people who are about to or can step into the official career through couplets, and it seems that this is the focus of the poetry club.

The following Hu Yanzan is full of blood when he hears it, he is a big old man, and he can also hear the meaning of the old prime minister at that time, no wonder the people of the imperial capital love him so much?

Fan Zhen looked at the reaction of the people below and continued

"The so-called consistency between the outside and the inside of the couplet requires us to always adhere to our own hearts, not to face to face and behind the other, let alone the gentleman in front of the person and the villain behind the back." His piercing eyes swept over the people in the hall.

Many people bowed their heads weakly.

"Only by sticking to one's own heart can we truly govern the country well and do things that are beneficial to the people, otherwise, we will harm others and ourselves."

Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, was also a scholar with backbone at the beginning, and after blocking the official, he slowly became inferior to the inside, and deceived the superiors and subordinates.

"He looks like a humble gentleman in front of people, but he embezzles a huge amount of money behind his back, and he actually embezzles all the materials for disaster relief, causing a large number of people to starve to death."

In the end, he himself was executed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Ling Chi, and ended up with no bones.

Fan Zhen was embarrassed at this time.

Zhao Xu will also admire this old prime minister very much now, the key to governing the country is to use people, Zhuge Liang was smart but he misused Guan Yu and Ma Tan, which was the pain of his life.

Fan Zhen did not talk about how to use people, but talked about how the politicians themselves maintain their own intentions and how to keep themselves from degenerating, which is also very important.

All this is closely linked to a couplet, it seems that I really misunderstood the intention of this poetry meeting, the exchange between literati is certainly one thing, but more I want to say this.
