Feng Yuan was an elder, and Zheng Lang began to talk about benevolence and righteousness, just smiling. Later, he said that there were many forgeries in the "Book of Shang", coupled with Ouyang Xiu's article, Feng Yuan knew that big trouble was coming. He did not stubbornly oppose it, but the scriptures he learned were the scriptures established from the Han Dynasty.

Now that they are all overthrown, how can he stand it?

Holding his breath, Ouyang Xiu was too far away, and he couldn't find trouble in Luoyang, so he ordered the old servant at home to call Zheng Lang.

"Look," Feng Yuan said angrily, pointing to the booklet that Ouyang Xiu had specially ordered.

Zheng Lang opened it and understood, this is the prototype of "The Original Meaning of Poetry" later revised by Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu's achievements in the scriptures, Zheng Lang was also daunted. Now it's a little worse, and his knowledge has also grown step by step, he is young, and Ouyang Xiu is not very old, so there are some flaws in this booklet. The problem of the knowledge of the ancients also has certain historical limitations. However, the flaws are not concealed, and this note is more meaningful and progressive than the original "Mao's Poems".

But understanding Feng Yuan's mood, it is also uncomfortable to change himself.

put down the pamphlet and comforted: "Feng Zhishi, if Your Majesty studies better than you, are you happy?" ”

"Happy?"

Needless to say? Zheng Lang found the topic and asked, "If the master's students exceed the master's, will the master be happy?" ”

"......" Feng Yuan knew what he was going to say, but did not answer.

"I said something similar to Young Eunuch Liu, and it is the master's dream that future generations will carry forward the master's knowledge. The Master is too great to speak in his later life. But the merits of the Han and Tang dynasties can be like our dynasty, why don't you even dare to exceed the knowledge of the Han and Tang dynasties? For example, if the way of calligraphy is blindly confined to the framework of its predecessors, will Confucianism still have a future? Can the Master's theory of governing the country and saving the people be carried forward? took a look at his booklet, and he didn't say anything, just removed Mao's poems and kept them fine, not completely negated. Why not? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the booklet again, Ouyang Xiucai was really good, and it was not unreasonable for later generations to call him the grandmaster of the Northern Song Dynasty literary circle. If you are to note it yourself, standing on the commanding heights of history, perhaps in some aspects, it will be more long-term than him. However, writing books and saying that you need to have a deeper knowledge and a deeper attainment in the study of scriptures, which you will definitely not be able to do in front of you. It's just a pity that Ouyang Xiu didn't put forward a clear theory in his life like Ercheng and Zhang Zai, otherwise he would definitely have a place in Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

He also said: "Feng Zhishi, Your Majesty is the king of a country, it is enough to learn the way of governing the country, although Qian Gong is elegant and loves talents, but in terms of academic attainments, it is not as good as giving things, or, how about you snatch Ouyang Tuiguan from Qian Gong and accept it for your own posterity?" ”

Feng Yuan made him angry, and Mrs. Feng patted his head lovingly with her hand: "You, you are still a naughty child in the end." ”

"Really, Feng Zhishi, anyway, there are several talented people in Luoyang, but in terms of academic talent, no one can compare with Ouyang Tuiguan, and now he has sent it to the door, the opportunity is rare, grab it."

"Go!" Feng Yuan drove Zheng Lang away with tears and laughter.

When she went back, Jiang Xing'er asked suspiciously, "Is that Ouyang Xiu right?" ”

"Why not?"

He still has some things to say in the Feng Mansion, such as Ouyang Xiu's objection to this prophecy, which is indeed nonsense, Liu Bang cut a snake and actually became a little white dragon. As long as a person with a good life is born, there must be a vision. If so, what kind of vision of heaven and earth did Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan have? So don't try harder. It's useless to try, because you don't have a vision, and without a vision you won't be productive!

However, he is in the limelight, and there is no need to show it off.

The current reputation is enough to make himself a hard kick in two months.

…… The Lantern Festival came, and I accompanied a few mothers around.

Xing'er said, "Dalang, let's go see the riddle lantern." ”

The most lively is the official Dengshan, where tens of thousands of lanterns are lit together, full of colors, golden and brilliant, like a fairyland. There are also several giant ball lamps hanging on the gate tower of the palace city, one zhang square, and even Zheng Lang was surprised after seeing it.

Of course, there are also bad things that happen, such as fishing in troubled waters, stealing a few wallets by taking the opportunity, or rubbing oil on some beautiful little sisters, or taking advantage of many homes to watch the lights on the street, burglarizing, and abducting human trafficking. However, this kid thief, at a glance, just a team of royal chariots and horses came over, shouting for help, Song Shenzong ordered someone to stop the chariot and horse, and after knowing what had happened, he gave him a surprise money and sent someone to send him home.

But there are also things to play in other places, the streets and alleys are lit up, and some people come up with some small gifts, which are not worth much, just a little fun. Then a riddle is played on the lantern and the reward gift is guessed.

Jiang Xing'er is referring to this.

"Okay."

A few ladies were also surprised, so they left from the royal street and turned to the small alleys on the side. Guess all the way.

But after a while, they let the others find out.

Curiously followed, most of the riddles were readers, and most of the riddles came from books, and Zheng Lang guessed a lot. However, some are very unpopular, Zheng Lang hesitated for a long time to come up with them, and some couldn't guess directly. Then there was a burst of laughter.

Then these people congratulated the master: "Yes, yes, the mystery of your family actually stumped Zheng Jieyuan." ”

Zheng Lang is not angry, people cannot be omnipotent.

After accompanying a few ladies for a few days, I sent them out of the capital and began to study with peace of mind. In fact, he knew that this year's provincial examination would inevitably be cancelled, which was to lay the foundation for the future. The capital's move was unconscious, but there was no movement after one pass, and there was no movement after the second time, and finally the discussion sounded.

Si'er also asked worriedly: "Da Lang, will you not take the test again this year?" ”

"It's not easy to say, last year there was a fire in the interior, and in winter, I went to the biggest king Li Deming, and the queen mother...... "The old lady put on a dragon robe in February and went to the temple to worship. At this time, Zheng Lang suddenly realized in his heart, the old lady didn't need to bet on this little childish anymore, could it be that she knew that the deadline was coming, so she was so reluctant and obsessed?

I don't know, and I don't dare to ask.

Sure enough, in late March, news came out of the palace that the old lady was seriously ill. The Queen Mother is seriously ill, so why do you need to try? Then the edict stopped the tribute. Tens of thousands of people are helpless, like a sheep, when you go back, no one cares, anyway, the court gave the travel expenses, you didn't spend it, take it home, no one asks you. You run out of it and pay for it yourself. If you love to go back, you will go back, continue to stay in the capital and not go back, and you will not ask, and you should contribute to the prosperity of the capital's economy.

Zheng Lang didn't go back, since the provincial test stopped, it was better to follow Zhiyue to learn the piano later, and once he returned to Zhengzhou, he couldn't learn. In fact...... No! Similarly, no one cares about him, once the old lady dies of a serious illness, there will be a new change in the pattern of the court, who has the mind to care whether he is learning the piano or studying.

A few days later, Zheng Lang returned to the inn from Zhishuo, saw two little yellow doors waiting for him, sang a fat song, and said, "See two yellow doors." ”

"Don't dare," the two little eunuchs were a little frightened in their eyes, and said cautiously: "The Queen Mother has a decree to pass you into the palace." ”

"Pass me into the palace?"

"yes, please." The two little eunuchs looked at Zheng Lang in fear again, at this time, the old lady was surrounded by a handful of important ministers in the court, it may not work, and she has to explain the future, what does it mean to pass on the Zheng family at this time?

I'm just two little eunuchs, can I be arrogant to him?

didn't dare to slack off, almost served Zheng Lang and got into the carriage, at this time, Zheng Lang didn't dare to take the two little maids, and after getting into the carriage alone, he immediately rushed to the palace. After entering the palace, he was taken to the Baoci Palace. At this time, the curtain has been withdrawn, and I talked with the old lady a few times, but it was the first time to see the true face of the old lady, who had been seriously ill for many days, lying on the bed in Yanyi, already skinny, but from her face, she could vaguely see the spirit and beauty of the past.

The old lady was explaining the aftermath to the ministers, and her vitality was exhausted, so she continued to say: "Respect the concubine as the queen mother...... Militaristic Events...... The Queen Mother's Inner Court ...... Give money to the army. ”

As for how much money was given to the army, the old lady could not tell at this time.

But he is very sober-minded, why should he let Concubine Yang be the queen mother and take charge of the power in the army, not to suppress his son, nor to let the state power pass smoothly, the old lady is capable, but Concubine Yang may not have it. This is also a thief with a weak heart, afraid that if he dies, the little emperor will find the Liu family to settle the account. With Concubine Yang as a transition, the Liu family will be fine.

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, family affairs, state affairs, even the old lady was so shrewd, she didn't make it clear, let alone herself?

When the old lady had finished speaking, she had no strength to say anything else. Zheng Langcai stepped forward, lifted the corners of his robe, fell to the ground, and said, "The minister pays a visit to the Queen Mother." ”

What traversers can't kneel, nonsense!

Just by virtue of the old lady's kindness to herself, she can be her grandmother at her age, so what's the harm if she kneels.

When the old lady saw Zheng Lang coming, her eyes flashed again.

This can be said to be one of the most proud things in her life, Zheng Jiazi is not only very smart, but the word law on that day, and then seeing through the true face of the Khitans, all show that Zheng Lang's political talent is also amazing. At present, there are many talents in the court, and even because of the Zheng family, there will be people in the future Song Dynasty.

He has laid such a good foundation for his adopted son, and the ancestors of the Zhao family should have nothing to say.

This is exactly the reason why she called Zheng Lang to the palace out of the ordinary!

"You, very, good." ”

It's even harder.

Zheng Lang looked at the soft look in her eyes, suddenly his eyes were sour, tears flashed out of his eyes, and said: "The queen mother's kindness to the minister, the minister has always wanted to reciprocate, so this year, knowing that he is young and shallow in learning, he deliberately took the scientific examination in advance, just to take the test and let the queen mother take a look." Kechen has not done enough. ”

I see?

The ministers suddenly realized, and then sighed in their hearts, this son has a heart.

"You, get up, come."

"Whoa." He stood up, but he stood very well, the little emperor was at the front, the prime ministers were standing at the back, he was standing at the back, and he was also standing on the side.

The old lady thought of the word Fadu he said again, and was even more satisfied, but she didn't have the strength to say more, looking at Zhao Zhen, the little emperor came over and asked, "Lady, what do you need your sons to do?" ”

I didn't do anything, I just wanted to see the appearance of my adopted son, and then I looked at Zheng Lang behind me, and a smile appeared on my face again. She can't say it, but everyone understands.

Suddenly, I thought of another thing, and I couldn't say it, and my expression became very anxious, so I could only grasp the corner of my clothes tightly with my hands. Some ministers noticed it, but they didn't think of it. Some didn't pay attention. Zheng Lang also saw it, he understood what the old lady meant, as long as he said it for the old lady at this time, death would be great, maybe the little emperor would be forced by the situation and have to agree. Then the old lady will be able to smile at Jiuquan. But did he dare to say it?
