Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Yue, and he didn't expect that this junior brother in the past would actually teach him a lesson sternly.
Zhang Heng regained his former majesty and said, "Do you know what a lonely minister is?"
Zhang Yueze said: "I know that the chief minister is a lonely minister, and Duke Ouyang was also a lonely minister back then."
Zhang Heng said: "Yes, Uncle Ouyang Yong was a lone minister. When Emperor Renzong was Emperor Renzong, he was a lone minister of Emperor Renzong. When Emperor Yingzong was Emperor Yingzong, he was a lone minister of Emperor Yingzong. But what about now? When the new emperor came to the throne, he abandoned it like worn out shoes. Now he is Disgraced!"
"It's difficult to be a lonely minister."
Zhang Yue heard about Zhang Heng's former involvement in the Yamen of three divisions, and even Cai Xiang, the envoy of the three divisions, and felt how awesome he was.
His words, which made him want to be a lonely minister, are still in his ears.
At first, Zhang Yue thought that Zhang Heng would only be released temporarily, just like Ouyang Xiu. After a while, the emperor thought of his good fortune and would call Zhang Heng back to the capital. But what?
Zhang Heng was released for eight years, and none of the three emperors thought of transferring him back to the capital.
That's it for other officials, but he was the top pick in Jiayou's second year.
Zhang Heng said: "I couldn't see it clearly back then. I thought that if I won the first prize, I just need to be a lonely minister, and then I would be like Duke Xun (Zhang Dexiang)."
"To put it in perspective, once the emperor and his courtiers were in charge, the ministers would be like concubines, serving the emperor with sex, and all of them would be in the hands of their husbands."
"As for the rich Duke Han and Duke Wei of Han, even if he is not in court, the officials have to ask him frequently."
What is the difference between concubine and wife?
The wife has property rights, but the concubine does not. I only heard that the wife had a dowry, but the concubine did not hear about it.
Therefore, it was not allowed in ancient etiquette to favor a concubine or destroy a wife.
Seeing Zhang Heng abandoning himself and seeming to snatch the wine from Zhang Yue's hand, Zhang Yue snatched the wine cup away again.
"How do you want to save him?" Zhang Heng was very unhappy.
People's voices kept coming from outside the Fan Tower. The singer who was playing for the two of them couldn't help but stop playing his pipa when he saw the two voices rising. Zhang Yue pushed aside the bead curtain and signaled the singer to continue playing and singing.
When the singer saw an extraordinary young man beckoning to him, he couldn't help but be startled. He knelt down on the table again, a little shy, and then started playing again.
Singing the most seasonal tunes from Bianjing.
Zhang Yue remembered that when he came to Fanlou in the past, the singers first sang lyrics by Yan Shu and Liu Yong, then Ouyang Xiu and Mei Yaochen, and now Su Shi and the poem "Qingyu Case".
Zhang Yue said: "Zhaizhang, stop drinking. I have some good words."
"If you want to get something, you don't need to make a big show of it. You need to be calm and realistic, and you can achieve your goal easily and without knowing it."
"But if you use too much force, make too much noise, are too childish, and are too ignorant of the world, you will cry, shout, and pull, just like a child pulling at a tablecloth. Not only will you get nothing, but you will also take away all the good things on the table. If you pull it to the ground, you will never get it back (Note 1).”
Zhang Heng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Yue's words. These words really showed maturity and sophistication. Has Zhang Yue reached this point now?
After all, it is not a fluke that he has been promoted all the way to the waiting system. I have always said that he is just lucky.
However, Zhang Heng still said: "What? Have you taught me a lesson now?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare. I just want to think about whether my words make sense."
Zhang Heng leaned back and slumped on the table. At this moment, he was mostly sober. Thinking of being taught a lesson by Zhang Yue, who was not as good as him in the past, he suddenly felt a huge loss of face.
Zhang Heng covered his face for a moment, pushed back the hair hanging from his forehead and said, "What do you think I should do now?"
Zhang Yue said: "Zhaizhang, are you sober? Come with me to a place."
Zhang Yue opened the curtain and saw that the shopkeeper of Fanlou was already waiting outside: "I didn't know that Zhang Daizhi is coming here. It's really disappointing to welcome him from afar."
Zhang Yue thanked Zhang Heng without being too close, and then left together with Zhang Heng.
The singer on the side picked up the pipa and couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper who the young man was...
Zhang Heng guessed where Zhang Yue was taking him. After they left Fan Tower, they took a carriage and headed south.
Just when Zhang Heng thought Zhang Yue was going to take him out of Bianjing City, he saw the carriage turn around.
After getting off the carriage, Zhang Heng looked in front of him and asked, "Where is this place?"
"Taixue!"
Zhang Yue said to Zhang Heng.
Nowadays, Taixue is undergoing great construction projects.
After the current officials ascended the throne, they followed Wang Anshi's advice and expanded the enrollment of Tai students twice.
Two hundred people at a time, nine hundred people at a time.
There are too many students, and the school building is not enough for living.
Nowadays, the nearby Xiqingyuan and Chaojiyuan have been demolished and merged into Taixue as a school building for Taixue students.
Today's Taixue is several times larger than that of the past, almost replicating the prosperity of Taixue during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Looking at the high-spirited Taixue students and the construction of the middle school building, Zhang Yue felt that things were changing with each passing day. This earth-shattering reform actually started from this small place of Taixue.
Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng came to Taixue Shooting Garden.
There are several Tai students who are practicing archery. Zhang Yue then asked several imperial students to borrow two sets of bows and arrows.
Zhang Yue wanted to reward him with a drop of money, but the other party refused, so Zhang Yue accepted.
He and Zhang Heng competed with each other with bows and arrows!
Zhang Heng just picked up the arrow, but saw Zhang Yue already raising his hand to shoot. Seeing that Zhang Yue didn't take a careful aim, he raised his hand and shot and hit the target.
The students on the left and right clapped their hands and applauded when they saw this!
Zhang Heng is also good at archery. When he was studying in Zhou Jin Hall, he practiced archery day and night. Now that he saw Zhang Yue's ability, he became eager to win.
But Zhang Yue hit the target with another arrow.
Zhang Heng is also the way of the heart. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. When Zhang Yue was a poor student, he made a living by copying books and even borrowing books to read. How could he learn archery? But now his archery skills are so good.
Although Zhang Heng had not drawn his bow and arrow for a long time, a familiar feeling returned to him when he raised his hand.
Zhang Heng calmed his breathing and was about to shoot, but saw that Zhang Yue's third arrow had already hit the target.
"This kid...has come to this!"
Zhang Heng raised his hand and shot an arrow... also a bullseye!
Fortunately, his skills were not neglected, otherwise he would be very embarrassed today, Zhang Heng thought.
…
Zhang Heng and Zhang Yue both enjoyed this shooting competition.
After the two of them finished shooting, Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng asked, "How is the chief?"
A long-lost confidence returned to Zhang Heng and said: "If it hadn't been for Du, I would have forgotten about this matter. I think I was the most dedicated to this way at the beginning. Fortunately, I am not unfamiliar today."
Zhang Yue said: "Yes, the hard work done in the past will not be in vain."
"Chief, there is something I always encourage myself to say."
"Whatever I have to do, I should do it myself and don't blame others."
“Whatever needs to be done now, do it now, without delaying tomorrow.”
"Whatever needs to be done here must be done here, and there is no need to push it to another place in your imagination."
Zhang Heng said: "I am here and now..."
Zhang Yue said: "Just now when I was in Fan Tower, the chief of the restaurant asked me what should I do now? I saw that the chief of the restaurant was depressed, so I couldn't answer the question, so I can answer it now."
Only then did Zhang Heng understand the reason why Zhang Yue deliberately brought him to Taixue Shooting Garden to practice shooting. Zhang Yue had good intentions.
Zhang Heng took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time and then said to Zhang Yue: "Is Xipu City Magistrate Shu Gu Ke Du's teacher?"
Zhang Yue didn't expect why Zhang Heng suddenly mentioned Chen Xiang?
It seems that Zhang Heng and Chen Xiang have nothing in common.
Zhang Heng said: "When we first set up a county school in Pucheng, we only recruited county students from poor families. At that time, I was studying in the Zhoujintang clan. One day, after reading my article, I was summoned to the county school. Ask me if I want to join his family?"
Zhang Yue was surprised that this happened? I have never heard the teacher say this.
But looking at Zhang Heng's appearance, it seems that he didn't like him at first.
That's right, Zhang Heng definitely didn't like it. Zhoujin Hall is a school of the Zhang clan, and Zhang Youzhi is invited to teach it. In all aspects, it is definitely better than the county school.
Didn't Zhang Dun want to go from county school to Zhang clan school, but he couldn't?
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the most important thing in studying is the origin of family education, which is like martial arts secrets that are not easily passed on to others.
Most people can't read even if they can read a book because they don't know how to segment sentences. Like a private school, you start with the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand-Character Literature, and then proceed step by step to the Four Books and Five Classics. This method is aimed at students with relatively average qualifications and few famous teachers. It lowers the threshold and allows people to come in and learn something.
The first book that scholar-officials in the Spring and Autumn Period taught children to read was the Book of Changes...
Even if modern people have completed their third year of high school, their reading of the I Ching is still muddy even if they add annotations.
As for county school, what is it?
This was strongly advocated by Fan Zhongyan after Qingli founded the school.
In the eyes of the children of the scholar family, do people who don't even have any family knowledge deserve to be called scholars? Also worthy of being called a scholar?
Then Zhang Yue heard Zhang Heng talk about his reasons.
Although Zhang Heng became a disciple of Chen Xiang at that time, he did not pay much attention to the county school and did not even go there a few times. After Zhang Heng won the first prize, he had little contact with Chen Xiang.
Compared with Zhang Yue, Sun Jue, and Lin Xi, they were simply too different. Even Zhang Yue didn't know that Zhang Heng had also been a disciple of Chen Xiang, and Zhang Heng had never mentioned it to him.
Zhang Yue saw Zhang Heng's behavior and thought, "This is a big problem for you."
But Zhang Heng's willingness to let go of the pride of a scholar's son is still commendable.
There is no such thing as being a solitary minister. Zhang Heng originally thought that it would be enough to be appreciated by the emperor, but now he understands that without a leader in his official career, it will be difficult.
After Zhang Yue agreed, he asked Zhang Heng: "What do you think of the new law being enacted by the third department of regulations now?"
Two new laws are currently under discussion at the three Ordinance Departments.
One is the exemption law, which has been discussed since the fourth year of Zhiping. After Han Jiang and Zhang Yue proposed it, it has entered the process. Now the emperor has issued an edict to appoint shipping envoys, transshipment envoys, third division envoys, and deputy envoys and above. Let’s talk about the pros and cons of the law.
One is the reform of the imperial examination. Wang Anshi wanted to abolish the imperial examination method of poetry and Fu, which had been the default method since the Tang Dynasty, and change it to select scholars based on classics and meanings and strategies.
This is not new. Starting from Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, they have been emphasizing the suppression of the status of poems and poems in imperial examinations and increasing the weight of policy articles.
This official family has already planned to issue an edict to let officials from the third bureau or above speak out.
The rest of the new laws have not yet been unveiled, but these two courts alone are already making a lot of noise.
Zhang Yue said to Zhang Heng: "When you choose something to do, you must impress the officials with your words!"
You must know that a shortcut for the Shenzong Dynasty was to agree to the new law.
