Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Today I would like to thank Mr. "Glutty Little Bear" and Mr. "Invincible Condor" for their monthly votes.  Yesterday, Fan temporarily left his group due to some personal matters, and he added him back today.  This has attracted a lot of concern and questions from book friends in the group. For this, Fan is extremely sorry!  After a while, Fan will explain it to everyone again!  Don't worry, with you here, I will always be fine!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If it had been anyone else, Fan Zhongyan might not have paid attention to such a disgusting letter even though he was not a high official now.  But in fact, he had been a close friend of Liang Feng for a long time. Fengqiu's "Bianshui Hearing and Seeing" was famous all over the world, and his own disrespectful article was published in it.  He was very curious about Liang Feng's character and knowledge.  In addition, Liang Feng's letter mentioned some recent small changes in the Imperial College. Although it was only superficially mentioned, Fan Zhongyan still smelled the breath of spring in it, which means that the cold winter has passed!

    So, he happily went north and stood at the gate of the Imperial College.

    The sudden grand courtesy did not go to his head. After being slightly startled, he regained his calm mood and looked at the young man with some curiosity.  He is more than ten years younger than me, but his magnanimity and spirit are already showing. His eyes show that kind of eager and excited look, and he doesn't seem to be hypocritical. It seems that he really respects himself.

    Fan Zhongyao felt that he had nothing to be proud of. Why did Lord Liang value him so much?  Since it is unpredictable.  Too lazy to think about it.  Let him smile attentively.  The two entered the Imperial College hand in hand.  Fan Zhongyan observed the scene of the Imperial College along the way and nodded secretly. Although it was still empty, it was strange that it no longer had the legendary atmosphere of decadence and desolation. Instead, what came to him was a state of neatness and solemnity.  Fan Zhongyan nodded secretly in his heart, Liang Yutian was indeed not bragging.

    "Mr. Xiwen, please have some tea." Liang Feng invited him into the hall.  Sit with the east and west clearly visible.

    "Well, the name of the tea made by your Excellency is known all over the world. It is a good taste for the lower officials." Fan Zhongyan took a sip and said with a slight smile.  "Thank you so much for not being despicable, and for writing so diligently. I'm very touched. I came when I was called, and I was about to ask for advice!" Lao Fan quickly got to the point and asked.

    "Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (I'd better change my words, otherwise Lao Fan will be unhappy). I heard that Mrs. Xiwen has passed away, and Mr. Xiwen is mourning. The term of service has expired, and I am thinking that the Imperial College is now in ruins and is waiting to be revitalized. I want to be a member of the imperial court.  Invigorate your education and cultivate your seeds. Therefore, I am waiting for the teacher to go north so that I can seek advice from you nearby."

    "My lord has done a very good job, what's the use of being a lower official?"

    Liang Feng smiled and said, "I wonder if, sir, when you come to Beijing, you should first visit your colleagues in the DPRK or your husband?"

    "Exactly, I have already paid a visit to Mr. Yan Tongshu, Dr. Jiang and others."

    "Haha, it just so happens that these adults are all related to our country's Imperial College. They either praise or criticize, support or oppose, but I wonder if Mr. Xiwen has talked with them?" Liang Feng looked at Fan Zhongyan.

    Lao Fan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Uncle Yan Tong once came here to speak directly, and he felt very good about it. He thought Master Liang managed the hospital well and highly praised it. Dr. Jiang, let alone that, didn't he already send his grandson to the hospital?  Have you come in?"

    "What I want to know is, what does Mr. Xiwen think of what I have done?"

    "Master Liang, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although what I have done before seems good, it is only the beginning after all. I have not seen the next step. It is really difficult to say. Today I am just curious and want to ask for advice. What should I do in the future?  Giving?"

    "To be honest, sir, I was able to make the Imperial College what it is today, in fact, it was inspired by my sir." Liang Feng said with some emotion when facing Fan Zhongyan.

    "Huh? What does this have to do with being a lower official?" Fan didn't understand what he meant.

    "Mr. was orphaned when he was two years old. He moved to the Zhu family and went to Yingtian Mansion as soon as he grew up. He studied hard day and night in Xuanliang. When he was exhausted in the winter months, he washed his face with cold water. If he failed to have three meals, he would continue with rice porridge.  This is a shame! Sir, what I am saying is based on your experience. You don¡¯t blame me, do you?¡±

    Fan Zhongyan listened to Liang Feng talk about his past, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded and said: "My lord, there is no need to apologize. This Zhongyan's glory in his life cannot be told to others. It is difficult for your lord to know such details."

    "I also heard that my husband, a noble relative, gave me delicious food, but he ignored it and it stinked for several days. He replied: I am content with cutting porridge and eating it, and I don't think it's bitter. If I eat a meal, I worry that I will never be able to swallow wild vegetables again.  Porridge and rice. Excuse me, sir, is this the case?"

    "Yes, Zhong Yan's ambition in life is not to have enough food and clothing, and he doesn't want to lose money for just one meal!"

    Fan Zhongyan¡¯s voice when talking to Liang Feng is always light. He neither feels sad nor laments about the past, nor does he feel that there is anything to boast about. All these are what he thinks he should have, and it is the bottom line!  Just the bottom line.

    Liang Feng nodded vigorously: "Being a lower official means acceptingInspired by his deeds.  I myself have been traveling north to Puning and living in Xiangzhou. Although I have encountered difficulties for my livelihood, I have never been in the same situation as my husband.  However, after he ascended the throne, he became quite famous in the world. Later, when he arrived at the Imperial College, he suddenly remembered that sir, what happens to one scholar is what happens to thousands of poor people!  Nowadays, I don¡¯t know how many scholars are studying hard like my husband did back then, especially those who do not give up on rope beds and tile stoves.  If the lower officials can provide convenience for these students from poor families, they can receive the best education like the children of ministers and not have to worry about their livelihood.  Sir, is this a meritorious deed?  "

    Fan Zhongyan looked directly at Liang Feng: "Master Zhamo Liang, do you want the Imperial College to accept civilian scholars as well?"

    "Exactly. The Imperial College is such a big place, with such good resources, so many well-educated ministers in the court, and just educating dozens of officials' children, don't you think it's a pity and a waste, sir?"

    The conversation lasted from morning to noon, and after dinner, the two of them continued, and it didn't end until they got married.  When Fan Zhongyan left the Imperial Academy, everyone in the courtyard saw great relief on Liang Feng's face.

    On the 21st, Zhao Zhen received a memorial from Liang Feng, requesting that Fan Zhongyan, who had returned to Beijing to wait for his post, be sent to the Imperial Academy as a direct lecturer.  Zhao Zhen called Wang Zeng and asked: "Prime Minister, Liang Feng asked me to send Fan Zhongyan to the Imperial Academy. How about this Fan Zhongyan?"

    "Officials. Didn't you forget the two articles "Remonstrating with the Emperor and Leading Hundreds of Officials to the Empress Dowager" and "Begging the Empress Dowager to Return Political Essays"?" Wang Zeng said with a smile.

    "Oh! It's him. Haha. This Fan Xiwen is quite interesting. I heard that he built the sea-defending embankment in Xinghua and made great contributions. He is indeed a capable man and a direct minister! Okay, let's give it to him according to Yutian.  .¡±

    The imperial court issued an edict announcing that Fan Zhongyan, who had just been dismissed from Ding You, would be appointed as the school manager of the Secret Pavilion.  The Imperial College spoke directly.

    After issuing the edict, Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered something and ordered someone to bring Liang Feng into the palace.

    "Hey, the court debate has just happened not long ago, and the news has been so tight recently. Why did you come to me?" Liang Feng complained.

    "Haha, I have something I want to discuss with you. I have issued a decree. I am afraid that they will object, so I have to come to you first. If you agree, the matter will be easy to handle." Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

    Liang Feng was suspicious: "What can happen to you? You actually want me to agree first? Come on, I won't do it if I don't make money!"

    Zhao Zhen said with some embarrassment: "There is no profit, but I see that the place in your Imperial College is too big, and it would be a waste to leave it there. Therefore, I will discuss with you and let a few feet of land come out."

    Liang Feng was about to tell him about this, but he jumped up when he heard it: "How can that be done? I am of use and want to come to you to ask for an order!"

    "Ah?!" Zhao Zhen was a little depressed: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had something to do? I already promised you!"

    "Who are you promising? What are you promising?" Liang Feng reacted quickly: "Could it be that you are interested in my land and want to use it to build something? No, I can tell you, that is the land assigned to us by your great-grandfather.  , is an owner-occupied property. Oppose forced demolition!"

    When Zhao Zhen saw that he was blocking him back before he could open his mouth, he became a little nervous. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't be so stingy, okay? Not a lot, just a few feet. Oh, I am the same, just such a little sister.  , I just want to satisfy her!"

    When Liang Feng heard this, he was very surprised and said: "Your sister? The eldest princess? What does she want to do with the land? Could it be that she wants to serve as a consort?" Liang Feng thought to himself, if this is the case, it is not impossible to consider it.  This little girl is quite adorable, kind, kind, gentle and virtuous. Which family is so lucky to marry her?

    Unexpectedly, when he asked, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "It would be better if she was willing to get married. Alas, I don't know what kind of evil has been possessed. She wants to lead her to practice Taoism. Not long ago, she asked the eldest lady to marry her mother.  Concubine, both old people have died. No matter how reluctant I am, I have no choice but to rely on her. I have been asking the general to look for a place to build a Qingxu Temple for her. However, I have searched all over the capital and found nothing.  She found a good piece of land, but either the surrounding environment was not suitable, or she didn't like it. Finally, she didn't know how to look, but she set her sights on the left side of your Imperial College, next to the Baokang Bridge. How about letting a few feet come out?  I know, you don¡¯t have many students now, so it would be a waste to leave them alone, so why not give them to me and consider it a good thing for you?¡±

    Liang Feng hesitated greatly. Supposedly, this land also belonged to the Zhao family. If they wanted to take it back and use it for other purposes, it was just a matter of words.  Now that you are so polite and tactful, why don't you try someone else?  Besides, the little girl has a pretty good impression of herself. She is smart and smart.  After getting along several times, we developed some friendship.  People are looking for a place to practice their spells and spread the beans to become soldiers, so I should help them out, right?  Ouch!  When I thought that Zhao Miaoyuan was used to practice magic, I felt unhappy for some reason.  It would be a pity for such a well-behaved girl not to marry!  Liang Feng was worried for her.

    But the most important thing is that I just talked to Fan ZhongyanAfter the measurement is completed, the big project that I want to carry out has not been approved yet, but the infrastructure has been cut. How can I still pay it off?

    After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let's not say anything else. I have a big plan and I want to ask you for approval. But now you suddenly want to acquire land. Let me go back and think about it. If you do, it doesn't matter if you give up a few feet.  . But if you can¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll have to wait for you to demolish it by force, and I won¡¯t let it!¡±

    Zhao Zhen's face was stunned: "What is the big plan? If you had let it out earlier, I wouldn't be in such a mess. Alas! No, no matter what, you have to find a way with me." He knew that Liang Fengruo  If something comes to you, it must be a big deal.  His greatest advantage as an emperor is that he understands what should be done and what should not be done, what is internal and external, and what is public and private.

    "If what Liang Feng said is really needed by the country, then I have no choice but to wrong my sister. The land can only be found elsewhere, right?"  Don't delay the business!  (To be continued)
