Chapter 164 Ouyang Xiu
After sitting for a while and thinking through the matter, Liu Heng's mood became cheerful again. Lu Gongchuo won Chen Zhengping? Then let him win over. When the training is completed, let him work outside for a few years to see if he can win over?
To put it bluntly, Xu Ping did not have to look at Lu Yijian's expression when he became an official. His promotion was naturally remembered by the emperor. At the time, there was no need for the Secretary of the Central Committee to enter the familiarity, and the hand edict was directly released. Xu Ping had no handle in his hands and his reputation was not bad. Whether it was a political affairs hall or a sanctuary, could he still return the hand edict? That was nothing to do to find trouble!
If you don’t ask for him, you will naturally not be abusive to him. Although the Sansi is still under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall, since the Sansi has given the time to report the morning court alone, his temperament has become much greater than before and he doesn’t have to rest on others.
Xu Ping and Lu Yijian are both good and water that do not violate the river. They will be at peace and have no trouble when they are out of office. They will naturally ignore him if they go beyond their posts.
Liu Heng left, and Xu Ping sat on the chair and was stunned for a while.
The three officials were in charge of the world's money and materials. I don't know how many officials were staring at this piece of fat. Just pick it up a little, and it would be a huge amount of wealth. The three officials' affairs that had human rights were even staring closely by the powerful and powerful. When Tian Kuang was appointed as the three officials, he was surrounded by the powerful and asked his children to work in these places every day. He refused and laughed in person, but he still acted according to his wishes afterwards. After one of the three officials, he said that he would smile all year round and his face was almost like a boots.
Now it is much better than that year. First, since the reign of Emperor Taizong, officials were not allowed to come to the Sansi Department for no reason, and then they were divided by the Treasury Department with human rights. Despite this, the powerful and powerful people were inevitably extended to the Sansi Department.
Xu Ping is not violent. He acts similar to Tian Qun back then. He never breaks up with others, but he does not use the power in his hands to make transactions. In the eyes of others, Xu Ping is now a little sloppy.
The sun was very big outside, and it was the hottest time not long after noon. The Sansili yamen was also quiet. Most of the officials in the yamen who had little work had already returned, and those who had much work were taking advantage of this time to have a lunch break.
Standing up, Xu Ping stretched and stepped out of the door.
In the hall outside, Wang Gongchen and others were sitting on chairs in a daze. They had just eaten the buffet in the yamen and took a nap to digest the food, which seemed particularly quiet.
Hearing the footsteps, Fang Xie opened his eyes and saw that Xu Ping was coming in. He quickly got up and saluted: "I don't know if the deputy envoy is coming, don't blame me for neglecting it!"
As soon as Fang Xie spoke, the others woke up and greeted Xu Ping one after another.
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Don't sleep anymore, I have something to say when I get up."
Everyone stood up and let Xu Ping sit down and listen respectfully.
Xu Ping said: "The first draft of the new regulations has been completed. I have read it and handed it over to the head of the Shige Pavilion to make it print as soon as possible. At this point, our affairs have come to an end. Although there are many things to do in the future, they are not as urgent as it is now. I will plead with you tomorrow, and I will rest for two more days after the day after tomorrow and the court has already known it. Let's take a good rest in these three days to make up for the hard work of this period of time."
After hearing this, Wang Gongchen said, "Where to go?"
After saying that, the few people looked at Xu Ping together.
Is it just lying at home to sleep? When I want to go out for fun, everyone is not well-off, so I have to eat, a big family member Xu Ping. To put it bluntly, the minister in the capital yamen has little money and has no place to report for food, drink, and entertainment. If I were a magistrate in the local area, it would be so pitiful. I would go wherever I want to go, and I don’t have to worry about money at all.
Xu Ping had no choice but to say, "The spring is bright now, so you will naturally have to go out of the city when you are traveling. Let's do this. I have a farm in Zhongmu County. If there is nothing else, I will go there together to relax."
"This is the best!" Wang Gongchen clapped his hands, "I heard that the deputy envoy Zhongmutianzhuang has everything. The best spirits in the capital are brewed there, and there are cattle and sheep everywhere, so there is no shortage of food and drink. Let's go there, let's open your mind and eat enough!"
Everyone laughed together, despising Wang Gongchen only knew to eat one.
Xu Ping said: "Last year, Han Zhigui and Wu Chunqing and others went there in the same year. Although it was wild, the places to visit were too simple. Now a garden was built in the village, which is much better than last year, so it would not be shabby for you to go there."
Everyone applauded. Everyone knew that Xu Ping's family was rich. He said it was not shabby, so it must be very good.
Xu Ping was helpless, and his plan could not keep up with the changes. At first, he wanted to build Zhongmutianzhuang into a place for fun, so he could contact his colleagues with his colleagues. Unexpectedly, after half of the construction, he bought land outside Wanshengmen to build a new mansion. The place was much larger than the original small courtyard in the city, so there was no need for Zhongmu. However, construction had already started and it was difficult to stop, so he would still complete it according to the scheduled plan. The family did not lack money, just think it was built and it was always useful.
When other people build gardens, even the prince of the priest had to start saving money in advance, and often spend many years of savings. Xu Ping was limited by the lack of land and never lacked money. Whether it was the production in Zhongmu pastoral or the sales of liquor, the Xu family had a huge profit, and Xu Ping's daily salary was just his pocket money.
After settling down, Xu Ping said: "It's already noon and it's getting late. From the capital to Zhongmu, there are dozens of miles on the road. If we want to arrive today, we must leave early. There is nothing in the yamen today, so we go home to clean up. After an hour, we will meet at my home in the west of the city and let's set off together."
Wang Gongchen asked, "Can you call others to go together?"
"Of course, it's okay, there's nothing more than a few more people." Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen, "Why, do you have any friends in the capital? You should take this opportunity to get warm up?"
Wang Gongchen felt a little embarrassed: "Two days ago, several people left the Xijing Shogunate with their friends in the same year and came to the capital to work in the Pavilion. Taking this opportunity to invite them to come back, it was considered as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."
Everyone knows that Wang Gongchen's family has a heavy burden and his life is not easy, so no one laughs at him. When his friend comes, he can get a meal at a famous restaurant and ask a few famous female prostitutes to come and sing a song, which is worthy of his current identity. The capital is luxurious, and after such a round of entertainment, it is not a small amount of money for Wang Gongchen now. He really hurts.
The people in the Xijing shogunate have been tricked and a little shabby. I'm afraid they have some thoughts in their hearts. Wang Gongchen has been unable to make up his mind these two days.
During the Tiansheng period, Qian Weiyan was blocked by the ministers and was unable to successfully enter the Political Affairs Hall. He went to Luoyang to serve as the Xijing. During this period, Qian Weiyan's shogunate gathered a large number of literati, and under his protection, he formed a considerable momentum. Now Qian Weiyan has been demoted to Jinghu, and those scepters have reached their forefront. Several of them were recommended by ministers in the court and served as the ranks of the museum in the capital.
In history, these people were called Qianmu literati, which had a profound influence on the literary world of the Song Dynasty and was also the beginning of the ancient literary movement of the Northern Song Dynasty. Among the people who were well-known in Xu Ping's previous life were Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and Zhang Xian, and others who were already famous in the world because of poetry and prose at this time were Yin Zhu and Mei Yaochen, and most of them were Jinshi during the Tiansheng period.
These Jinshi are different from Xu Ping, the unlucky guy who was sent to Lingnan to serve as an official. They are deeply appreciated by Qian Weiyan, who is a man of literature and poetry. Under his protection, they live a life like a god. They basically don’t have to deal with daily government affairs. They just gather around to play and appreciate poetry and essays every day. The achievements in literature have made great progress, and they have made great progress in a day.
After Qian Weiyan, Wang Shu was sentenced to Luoyang, Xijing, and was shocked by the achievements of these people's poetry and prose, and recommended many people to enter the museum. Later, although Wang Zeng stayed in Luoyang for a short time, he also recommended several people.
Different experiences have developed different personalities. Most of these people became famous when they became famous, mostly had high self-esteem, were enterprising, and commented on the world at any time. They were completely different from Xu Ping's personality that had been tempered by practical things.
Qian Weiyan is good at entrepreneurship and wealthy in his career. For example, he married Liu Mei, the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Liu, and married the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan. His reputation was very bad. However, because of his appreciation and discovery of these people, his reputation in history was actually quite good.
After all, a person's reputation in future generations must first have his own achievements, and later generations must also have their own praise for themselves. Once the family background is withered, the evaluation of his own merits and history will be reduced. This is impossible.
Although it was not the same way, Xu Ping did not reject them. Each had his own way, and there was no right or wrong, it only depends on the personal choice. Moreover, although these people are not very famous now, their fame cannot affect the reputation among the scholars and officials. The evaluations of others in this era are not false. They can really bring about official achievements, so why should they reject them?
After saying goodbye 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 servant at home came up and reported, "Monk Marquis, an official came to visit his family in the afternoon and said that it was Ouyang Xiu, Luling. You are not at home, he is talking to Mr. Li."
Everyone comes to me, but I didn’t expect that Ouyang Xiu, the later literary leader, would come to visit him. Speaking of which, he thought that he had participated in the imperial examination in the same year as him, but after that, he failed and waited for a few years, and was taken away by Wang Gongchen. Fortunately, he was really capable. In recent years, he became famous for his articles and became famous all over the world.
When I entered the living room, I saw a young man sitting in a guest seat, not knowing what he was saying, and his spirit was soaring.
When Li Wei, who was accompanying him, saw Xu Ping coming back, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The county marquis is back, and he has not come out to greet him. I forgive him for his crime!"
Ouyang Xiu, who was in the guest seat, then stood up and bowed to Xu Ping: "Ouyang Xiu of Luling, is now in Beijing to proofread the museum and pavilion. He is here to visit and ask the county marquis to forgive him!" It will not be continued.
Chapter completed!
