Chapter 20: A Thousand Years of Mystery in the Soil (8)
[There will be a change in a while, to make up for yesterday's. ] 】
"A good son-in-law recruited by Wang Jiefu, a good son-in-law recruited by Wang Jiefu."
In the warm pavilion, Fu Bi was half lying and half leaning on the kang, with a hoarse wheal breath, laughing in a low voice.
After an illness this spring, Fubi is visibly old. I haven't seen any outsiders for half a year, and I'm recuperating at home. Thick Qinghai felt was covered on the knees, and in the newly renovated warm pavilion, a fire was lit early - this is a winter heating method that has recently become popular in Luoyang City - and the room is like a warm spring.
Wrinkles crawled all over the face, and the age spots on the face became more and more conspicuous. The exposed hands were bruised and skinny, and they seemed to be only covered by a layer of skin. The Korean father, who was originally very rich, was already thin and undressed, his yellow eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he didn't see the old look at all, but his hoarse and dry laughter could still shake people's hearts.
"Yinxu...... Yin Ruin ......" Fu Bi's laughter existed in his throat, dark and muddy, "Han Gang's methods are always so ingenious." I really want to see what kind of expression Wang Jiefu is in Jinling. The matter of Yinxu. Wen Kuanfu [Wen Yanbo] He will not be idle. Fan Jingren [Fan Zhen] couldn't sit still, Wang Junzhen [Wang Gongchen]'s Xuanhui Southern Courtyard envoy had just stepped down and returned to Luoyang to recuperate, he had always liked to follow the crowd, not to mention Sima Junshi. In Luoyang City, there are not one or two people who want to see Wang Jiefu's jokes. ”
Fu Shaoting pulled the felt that slipped down a little to the sliding felt: "It was also the gang of people from the New Party who overdid it a few days ago, and even banned the clairvoyant. With Han Gang's temper, where can he endure it. ”
Fu Bi raised his eyelids and looked at his son: "Still reading your three-and-a-half-inch clairvoyant mirror?" ”
Fu Shaoting lowered his head a little and didn't dare to speak. His clairvoyant mirror, just the three-inch multi-diameter round lens in front of the lens barrel, took a full 200 times to bring the materials manually, the grinding time was nearly three months, and it failed more than 20 times before it succeeded. The clairvoyant mirror made is so heavy that it can't be held in your hand, and can only be installed on a shelf, but it is used to look at the moon from afar, and it is much stronger than the kind of goods that can be held in your hand.
In the city of Luoyang, the children of wealthy families who are obsessed with the study of nature have their own small groups, which meet every few days to talk and compare their microscopes and telescopes with each other. Spending a lot of money in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is to fight for wealth, and it is also rich to compete for whose clairvoyance and microscope have better quality, and Fu Shaoting's clairvoyant mirror has earned him a lot of face. But because of his fame, the ban of the imperial court came down, so it was inconvenient to hide at home, so he could only hand it over to the government.
Fu Bi glanced at his son, and lowered his eyes again: "Before the ban on the clairvoyant mirror came out, you didn't see Han Gang's aggressive appearance. On the "Book of Songs" and the "Book of Rites", Han Gang was not soft at all, forcing the new party to start from the clairvoyant mirror. ”
"But after all, it is Wang Anshi who wants 'one morality and the same customs', which will make the current situation of Weng and son-in-law fighting." Fu Shaoting said.
Fu Bi nodded. When Fu Bi was still in the court, the struggle was only for authority, and the disputes over the Confucian and Taoist systems were only in the Confucian forest. This kind of battle will bring something to Da Song in the future, which is really worrying. Fu Bi understands that the Qin people's burning of books and Confucianism is actually an action of 'morality'. It's just that in Fu Bi's opinion, Han Gang's ability to make such a big mess at the moment is the result of no one in the Xinxue Dynasty after all.
"Han Gang will seize the time, and the time he chose is really good." Fu Bi closed his eyes and said slowly: "Wang Qi and Cai Qu are standing on the dry shore; Zhang Dian was friendly with Han Gang, and he did not participate in the compilation of the new books. The new scholars in the DPRK and the central government do not even have a position comparable to Han Gang. If Wang Jiefu and Fujian Zi are in the court, as for such an embarrassment? ”
"Back then, Wang and Lu were both in the court, but Zhang Zai still went to Beijing to give lectures later."
Fu Bi shook his head: "Don't look at what Han Gang exchanged for." He laughed, at the beginning, some people compared his merits to the Liao State and Han Gang to suppress his reputation as rich, but now he doesn't care about this kind of thing for a long time. Fu Bi looked at his son, "Wang Jiefu won't talk about it, in terms of means, Fujian is actually not bad." He passed through Luoyang with a large family a few days ago, and there was no sound at all, how many people were disappointed? ”
Fu Shaoting nodded, this matter was still what he told Fu Bi.
Lu Huiqing went out some time ago to take up a post in Shaanxi, and was taking his family to transit from Luoyang, and stayed in a post house in Luoyang City for one night. When the normal government goes out, even if he is guilty, he still drinks and feasts along the way. But on this night in Luoyang, Lu Huiqing spent the night quietly, not because no one invited him, but because he refused all of them. When I went out of the city in the morning, I walked silently, and the hundreds of servants and maids in the family didn't even make a sound when they walked on the road, and they were even more powerful in governing the family.
"Cheng's family is leaning against the west gate of the city, Lu Huiqing went out of the city from the west gate, and dozens of cars and horses passed by silently, Dacheng said that he didn't hear any movement at all."
"What a smart person Fujian, otherwise why would Wang Jiefu use him?" Fu Bi sneered: "In Luoyang, he didn't dare to show the slightest flaw. ”
The dignitaries in Luoyang are all Lu Huiqing's enemies, even if they make a small mistake in Luoyang, they can make trouble in front of the Son of Heaven - Sima Guang is still in charge of the Xijing Imperial Historical Observatory. There are hundreds of people in the Lu family, and when they cross the border, how many eyes are staring, but they can't find a single fault, and even the crime of disturbing the people can't be put on his head. This is where Lu Huiqing is careful, not giving people a chance to fight the water dogs at all.
Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian, and even Han Gang, these young generation's mental skills, methods, and abilities are not inferior to the group of old guys who were in power during the Qingli Emperor's reign.
Fu Bi looked at the felt covering his knees, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a few years to live, he really wanted to have a good time with those juniors.
After talking for a while, Fu Bi also felt tired. Fu Shaoting felt it, and asked softly, "My lord, why don't you have some tea and rest first?" ”
Fu Bi nodded first, and immediately instructed again: "Just cook the water." "He has been injured by drinking medicine in the past few months, and he doesn't want to touch the tea soup and drink that take up some medicinal flavor, so he can drink the tasteless cooked water.
Fu Shaoting responded, and beckoned the people outside to come up with familiar water. Before, the father and son talked privately, and the personal servants and maids were waiting outside.
Fu Bi drank two sips of water, and there was a little movement outside at this time, and a person came in to report, "The person who went to Duyuan to spread the word has returned, and he also brought someone from the Sima family, saying that he was here to greet the minister." ”
As soon as he received the news that Han Gang borrowed Yin Xu and Wang Anshi to debate "Words and Words", Fu Bi sent someone to inform Sima Guang, and Sima Guang replied very quickly.
Fu Shaoting asked Fu Bi, "Do you want to see him?" ”
Fu Bi shook his head, "The person is gone, you go and say something back, saying that he is worried." As his father is old and sick, he doesn't have the heart to care about this, and it is best for Sima Twelve to come forward in this matter. ”
Fu Shaoting was about to go out of the palace when he answered, but was stopped by Fu Bi, "By the way, call the people who went to the Paradise of Paradise in." ”
After people came in, there were two cushions behind him, and Fu Bi sat up straight: "You go to Duyuan Garden, what does Sima Junshi say?" ”
The servant bowed his head and said, "Back to the old minister's words, Master Sima only said that he knew the way, and didn't ask much. Just ask if Xianggong's body is okay? He also sent his relatives from the family to greet the old man. ”
Fu Bi moved his fingers, motioned for the servant to go out, sat quietly for a while, and suddenly sneered: "It's also an unwilling." ”
Lying down after being served, Fu Bi closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Fu Shaoting went out to personally send Sima Guang's family, and was just about to go back to see if his father had rested, when a family member came in with a post: "Minister Lu sent a post." ”
Fu Shaoting took the post, but Wen Yanbo wanted to make an appointment to visit and asked Fu Bi if he was free in the afternoon. Wen Yanbo's identity is different, he is not Sima Guang who is a generation younger, and his post cannot be delayed. After Fu Shaoting went in with the post, he invited Fu Bi, who was just about to fall asleep.
Fu Bi frowned, looked at the post over and over, and sighed: "Why is Wen Kuanfu so breathless." ”
But when he signed Fu Shaoting's reply post, he sent two more posts, both of which were greeting posts from the city's old ministers, but fortunately he didn't say that he would visit him today. Fu Bi shook his head: "It's really one after another...... There was thunder in the sky, and the earthworms in the ground could not stand still. ”
In the afternoon, Wen Yanbo really arrived. Seeing Fu Bi who was being supported by Fu Shaoting, Wen Yanbo immediately stepped forward quickly. The two are close in age, but now standing together, Fu Bi is obviously much older than Wen Yanbo.
"Yanguo, you've been cleared. But it still looks like it's still spiritual, which reassures me...... The autumn wind brings cold, go first and then speak. ”
I didn't see each other in the summer, and Wen Yanbo came to the door to ask for warmth. After sitting down in the small hall where the guests were met and the tea soup was served, Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and laughed: "The sons-in-law who have been chosen by thousands of people have all deviated from morality, and Wang Anshi's vision is not home after all." In order to compete for the clairvoyant mirror, you really dare to start. ”
"Han Gang is not because of the ban on clairvoyant mirrors. Before he asked to edit the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he already had the idea of excavating the Yin Ruins. The compilation of the pharmacopoeia is probably to bring out the oracle bones of Yinxu. Fu Bi sighed: "It's also a shame that he can think of it!" After a pause, he said: "The heart is also rare." ”
Fu Bi didn't care about the old grudges between Wen Yanbo and Han Gang back then, and still praised Han Gang.
Wen Yanbo didn't have any abnormalities on his face, and lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Wen Yanbo also knew that Lu Dao Fubi also had trouble with his father-in-law Yan Shu back then, and when he saw the current Han Gang, he probably thought of himself. It's just that it's still a little unpleasant.
Fu Bi diverted the topic: "Ercheng also received the news, what did they say?" ”
"Cheng Bochun went to visit Sima Twelve. Cheng Yi came to me and sat down. I gave him two copies of the gold and stone rubbing. They don't have a say in it. But when they compete with Wang Jiefu, they are no worse than Qi Xue. ”
If it weren't for the status of founding a sect, with Cheng Hao's age and status, how could he be qualified to be regarded as a guest in a wealthy family like Fu and Wen?
After Xinxue became an official school, it controlled the imperial examination, which caused many disciples to be lost in the sect. Ercheng has always been withholding his breath and struggling with time. But Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing have been indirectly out of the country for several years, and Han Gang has been fighting with Xinxue recently, and even gave Wang Anshi's "Words to Say" that was prepared to be a final word, which made it untenable, such a good opportunity, Ercheng will not let it go no matter what.
Fu Bi said: "The first subject of Jinshi is a poet who is endowed with poetry, which lasted from the Tang Dynasty to Xining for three years, and it took nearly 400 years before it was overthrown by Wang Jiefu. Since the sixth year of Xining, the imperial examination has been purely based on the three classics and new righteousness, and so far there are only three subjects. The foundation is still unstable, and there is still a chance to waver. But once the new learning takes root, maybe it will be a few hundred years. ”
"That's right." Wen Yanbo slightly mentioned: "Just for the righteous path of the Holy Sect, it is also necessary for people to understand the mistakes of the new learning. How could Han Gang be in the front alone?
