Chapter 1,709: Three Moral Emperors and Five Emperors

Sima Guang got up very early in the morning.

When I got up in the morning, I took a walk in the yard and immediately felt refreshed.

Then it's time to have breakfast.

Two large pieces of braised lamb were placed on the plate, which was a feast for the eyes.

Mutton is most delicious when it's fat and lean. When you bite into it, you'll find the texture of lean meat and the tenderness of fat...

Sima Guang ate two pieces of meat and another piece of cake, then burped and said, "I will definitely not be hungry at noon."

He doesn't eat at noon, so he must eat more meat for breakfast and more for dinner.

"Mr. Lang, it's time to go to the Yamen."

The servants were waiting on the side. Seeing that Sima Guang was still calm and unhurried, they couldn't help but praise: "Lang Jun looks like a prime minister and a auxiliary."

Sima Guang asked: "Can you buy the book?"

The servant shook his head, "There were too many people yesterday. By the time it's our turn, it will be dark."

"Yeah." Sima Guang hummed and then went out.

Bianliang in the early morning is less noisy, but more lively.

The shop is taking advantage of this free time to clean and replenish goods, and the clerks are coming in and out. From time to time, the shopkeeper can be heard scolding the clerks for being lazy.

Pedestrians bought two steamed buns from a roadside stall and ate them while walking in a hurry. Someone dropped the meat filling on the ground. He bent down to pick it up in distress, blew it a few times and stuffed it into his mouth...

A woman opened the door and yelled, scolding the shopkeeper across the street for being too noisy. If her son failed to pass the Jinshi exam next time, she would turn around and chop the shopkeeper across the way with a kitchen knife.

This is a vibrant Bianliang.

Sima Guang looked at the various conditions in the world and felt peaceful in his heart.

The people are ignorant and someone must guide them.

And who should bear this responsibility?

New party?

They are too radical!

Last night, Sima Guang received several more letters, all from friends. In their letters, they all complained about the New Deal and how it harmed the place.

It’s difficult!

"Junshi!"

Sima Guang turned around, waited for Lu Ji to come forward, and asked, "Why are you still reading on horseback?"

Lu Jie handed over the book in his hand and said disdainfully: "Bao Xiren is fishing for fame and reputation. He relies on Shen An to spend money and forcefully sells his reading notes to Luoyang Zhigui. I didn't sleep all night and thought about it. After reading his notes, I found that it was nothing more than that."

Sima Guang took the book, opened it and looked at it carefully. It was dark at this time, and the handwriting looked blurry, which hurt my eyes.

This time I saw the outside of the imperial city.

"Give it to you."

Seeing that he was attentive, Lu Jie went to find someone else to talk to.

Things worth three pennies are really a waste of money.

Sima Guang likes reading. He can read the author's emotions and emotions from the book, and feels that his soul has been sublimated at that moment.

He kept looking and looking until he saw noon.

He didn't eat at noon, so he just continued to read this reading note.

"Isayan!"

Sima Guang, who was reading a book in the duty room, looked up blankly, "What's the matter?"

He slowly put down the book and pinched the area between his eyebrows.

An official came in from outside and talked about official business. Sima Guang patiently said it, and then the official left.

Sima Guang stood up and walked slowly in the duty room.

From this reading notebook, what he saw was Bao Zheng's change from a reckless young man to a calm old man.

In these changes, there is a lot of helplessness and compromise, but more of them are unyielding and passionate.

"Bao Xiren is indeed a strong point!"

Sima Guang shook his head and walked out of the check-in room.

Many people were reading outside, and Sima Guang knew it was Bao Zheng's reading notes without even looking.

The price of a roll of three cents makes people have the urge to buy.

And Zaifu's reading notes are even more fascinating.

How about Ouyang Xiu?

Sima Guang suddenly thought of Ouyang Xiu.

…

Ouyang Xiu just got up.

He had a banquet yesterday and got very drunk. When he got up, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he shouted: "Make a pot of wine and some gruel for breakfast."

Anyone who drinks regularly will use this trick: drinking to relieve hangover.

I washed up and went to the toilet, then sat down to have breakfast feeling comfortable.

Ouyang Xiu thinks such days are very exciting.

Let’s take a sip of wine first.

Zhi!

"ah……"

It was very uncomfortable to drink at this time. Ouyang Xiu sighed, his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and then he saw the chrysanthemum face of the servant.

"Is something wrong?"

He poured another glass of wine.

The servant looked at the wine glass and said, "Alang, how about... you finish the drink before we talk?"

Do you think that after hearing this news, I will not be in the mood to drink?

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "I have had a lot of ups and downs in my life. If I were not open-minded enough, I would have died in depression long ago. Just tell me."

The servant said: "Yesterday, the Shen family's bookstore sold a reading notebook for three cents a volume..."

Ouyang Xiu's hand holding the wine glass remained steady, "Whose reading notes are there?"

The servant glanced at him cautiously, "Alang, it's... it belongs to Bao Zheng."

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Old man!" He suddenly lowered his head and laughed.

The white hair was trembling and gradually scattered.

"That old man!"

"When Shen An came back, I knew that he would take revenge, but I always thought that he should be humiliated in person. I didn't expect that he would think of such a move."

The servant said: "Alang, could this be what Bao Zheng thought of?"

"No." Ouyang Xiu raised his head, his face slightly red, "Although Bao Zheng also wants to gain fame, he has no such means. His methods are... upright. So this is Shen An's plan.

Shen An's move made Bao Zheng famous all over the world. How many people have become his students, Bao Xiren, inexplicably. What makes me sad the most is how many people will become the successors of Bao Zheng. "

He raised his glass and took a sip, "Every official, every successful scholar, hopes that someone will inherit his own theories and ideas of governing the country. They will look for successors. I have found many over the years, such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. ...But no one can inherit my ideas. Bao Xiren succeeded this time, and among countless students, there will always be someone who will regard his ideas as a guide."

He raised his head and drank from the wine bottle.

The servant was worried about his health and advised him, "Alang, this is a taboo!"

"Ahem!" Ouyang Xiu put down the wine bottle and said with a wry smile: "How old is Bao Zheng? By the time those scholars who read his study notes become officials, he will have already become an official. Who will be afraid of this man who dies like a lamp going out? An old man waiting to die?"

Well!

Could age also be a hedging advantage?

The servant felt that he had learned another trick.

"Change your clothes, I'm going to talk to Bao Zheng."

Ouyang Xiu went directly to the Political Hall to ask for an audience.

His qualifications are too old for anyone to refuse.

Later, Bao Zheng walked with him in the political hall.

"Are those the study notes you gave Shen An back then? I remember you said at the time that you wanted him to study well and go back to take the imperial examination. But in the end, he still didn't take the imperial examination, and instead entered the center step by step. Do you consider this a success or a failure?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at everything around him and felt that it was very familiar.

"Success... what is success?" Bao Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Whatever you want, if you achieve it, you will be successful."

Ouyang Xiu looked sideways at him, "Then what do you want?"

"What I am thinking about is the peace of the country and the people." Bao Zheng stretched out his hand and patted the wall. "Everyone has to count on something in his life, otherwise it will be too empty. I am counting on the peace of the country and the people. Watching the Song Dynasty become stronger and stronger every day, I They all feel happy. This kind of joy makes me more intoxicated than any banquets or brothels."

It was a quiet taunt.

Ouyang Xiu liked these tunes. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "I am like this by nature. I like leisurely days best. But in this case, I drank too much and couldn't scold that person."

As he said this, he handed over his hand to apologize.

Bao Zheng frowned and said: "Everyone has a time when he is proud, and he must not forget himself when he is proud. People also have a time when he is frustrated, and he must not be decadent when he is frustrated. You look a little decadent now."

Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "I am already in my dying years, do I still have to struggle?"

Bao Zheng glanced at him and saw wrinkles on his face and not a single black hair on his face, so he sighed: "In that case, why don't you live peacefully?"

What kind of health regimen is eating, drinking and having fun all day long?

Bao Zheng's body care methods were arranged by Shen An. Generally speaking, he was less anxious and more open-minded. This was his attitude. The second is to move around frequently and eat small meals frequently.

After long-term persistence with these seemingly simple health-preserving methods, Bao Zheng's body gradually recovered and he looked much more energetic than Ouyang Xiu.

"That's it!"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head, "I'm gone, you... you are eight years older than me, but you still look energetic, not as good as me."

Bao Zheng thought he was frustrated, so he gave him some advice.

But Ouyang Xiu said proudly: "My reputation among the people is not small. You have study notes, and I have made great contributions to improving literary style, but I am just among the best."

This old guy still refuses to admit defeat!

That's fine too. UU reading www.uukａnshu.net

Bao Zheng also didn't want Ouyang Xiu to become decadent, "Then we'll see."

"good!"

Ouyang Xiu went back triumphantly.

Someone invited someone to drink at noon. When Ouyang Xiu heard that some young handsome men he liked were there, he went there in high spirits.

This time the treat was at a famous restaurant.

There is a corridor on the second floor of the restaurant. In this cold season, it is very happy to get a charcoal pot to grill, drink and have fun on the veranda.

One advantage of drinking on the veranda is that you can watch the show.

There is a stage in the lobby below, and several female dancers are singing and dancing.

Ouyang Xiu sat at the top, and those people praised him one after another, and brought out their own poems and articles for him to comment on, and they were very happy for a while.

The song and dance ended suddenly, and everyone was furious and began to express doubts.

These days, if you don’t even have a drink to entertain yourself with singing and dancing, what else are you drinking?

The shopkeeper walked up to the table, pointed to a man next to him with a smile and said: "Today the shop invited a storyteller, and I would like to invite all guests to taste it."

"Storyteller?"

There are many kinds of entertainment in Bianliang, but everyone is still a little confused about the so-called storyteller.

The man walked up to the stage, and someone immediately came to investigate.

There was a ruler on the table. The man picked up the ruler and patted it.

Boom!

The surrounding area became quiet.

The man spoke: "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of morality, fame after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The heroic five uncles were in trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they rose and fell in an instant. There are several lines of names in the history of Qing Dynasty, and countless barren hills in Beimang. The fields of the predecessors are harvested by the later ones. It is said that there is a fight between dragons and tigers."

When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but stare and shouted: "Okay!"

"good!"

There was a burst of praise all around.
