Shortly after Xiaoxue Rong, there was news that Guiren Shang was beaten to the cold palace. The whole day was shocked!

During this period, Jia Huan has been resting at home, releasing the pressure and fatigue accumulated over the long period of time. He accompanied his beautiful wife and beautiful relatives like flowers, wandering in the winter beauty scroll of the Grand View Garden and Wuyou Hall, or teasing the beautiful concubines and maids, enjoying the tenderness of the tenderness.

During the interim, Jia Huan went to the prison of the Censorate to visit Xiao Mengzhen. The court struggle was still over, the He family building had collapsed, and the party members had dispersed. Grand Secretary He was about to return home; Minister Xu was demoted to Liaodong; Liang Tingwei was demoted to the frontier; Jia Huan would never be hired.

Xiao Mengzhen is still in prison, waiting for his unknown fate. Jia Huan cannot ignore this endgame.

During Xiao Mengzhen's time as editor-in-chief of the Truth, it was not good to suppress the Sunday Daily. He and Han Jin came from Huangzhou Prefecture at the same time and were appreciated by the prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture Yan. Pang Ze once said: Fatty Xiao is too nostalgic.

However, Xiao Mengzhen later had a firm position on the issue of increasing commercial tax revenue, so he was defeated by the powerful Jin King Party and the Song faction at that time: he was imprisoned for blocking the road of speech. Jia Huan wanted to try his best to win a good result for him, but Xiao Mengzhen refused. He decided to resign and return home.

This made Jia Huan sigh when he met Wei Yuanzhi, the editor-in-chief of Mu Xiu at home with his senior brother Gongsun Liang.

Wei Hanlin had a three-entry courtyard in the west of the capital. He placed wine in the side hall to entertain his son-in-law and students.

Speaking about the situation during the meal, Jia Huan sighed: "Xiao Kaizhi's principle of knowing right and wrong is talented, it's a pity..."

Wei Hanlin sneered, "What's the use of this? The officialdom is already extremely dark. Where is the pure land? If you suffer a little setback, you will have to return home. What can you do? I have been sitting in the Hanlin Academy for ten years. Have you ever resigned?"

Gongsun Liang was wearing a water-blue long gown, handsome and handsome, and had a very Zhou Lang style. He complained in his heart: That's because your old man has a bad temper. However, the eldest brother knew that his father-in-law would not go on a career, so he had a lot of opinions and didn't say anything.

Think about it, the same group of figures, the mountain chief Zhang Anbo was the fourth-rank chief censor before his retirement, and Tian Chang was transferred from the third-rank chief to the salt transportation envoy. Wei Hanlin was also the seventh-rank old Hanlin. How big is the gap?

Gongsun Liang was thinking, and heard Wei Hanlin say, "Like my son-in-law, he has no ambitions and does not have the skills to get involved in the officialdom. He is not as good as Zi Yu." Other people's children are good!

The senior brother who was named smiled bitterly.

…

…

In early November, the first wave of personnel appointments in the court came out, and Secretary Wei was appointed as prime minister, and Jia Zheng was promoted to Zhengzheng. The whole family of Jia was filled with joy. However, the atmosphere in Wuyou Hall was still calm. All the students in Wendao Academy were packing their luggage and preparing to return to Wendao Academy to study and prepare for the exam.

Since the 14th year of Yongzheng, Jia Huan invited all his classmates to the capital to assist him in running a newspaper. It has been more than a year since he looked back on the past and was thrilling.

In the autumn examination of the 16th year of Yongzhi, most students had to participate. In the spring examination of the 17th year of Yongzhi, I hope more students will participate. The academy system is in the court at this moment, and fresh blood is needed.

Wuyou Hall is magnificent, and in the atmospheric garden, the cold wind is bleak. The trees are withered and yellow, and the fields are frozen. Jia Huan, Pang Ze, Gongsun Liang, Luo Junzi, Qiao Rusong, Wei Yang, Xu Yinglang, Ji Ming, and Ji Cheng are all walking.

The winter day and the hei shine on everyone.

Gongsun Liang was wearing a white shirt and was as good as a dragon. Although Wei Hanlin looked down on his son-in-law, in fact, the eldest brother was already the leader of the entire Wendao Academy in academic terms and flag. However, he was only twenty-four years old, and it took a long time to accumulate fame and status to become a famous scholar.

His future achievements are definitely inferior to those of Yang Mingzi, Zhu Xi and others, but it may not be possible to see the status of Lu Jiuyuan and Zhang Zai, and even the positions of the two Chengs.

Gongsun Liang looked at the junior brothers and classmates and sighed, "Ziyu, the banquet that is always lingering in the world!" It is time for everyone to separate again. Just like the provincial examination, after the imperial examination, the time for classmates to reunite is always short. As the saying goes, the moon has phases and waxing, and people have joys and sorrows.

Pang Ze said freely and freely: "Senior Brother Gongsun, we all have to reply to Wendao Academy to study hard. Besides, the academy is not far from the capital. Why do you have to be a child?" He laughed: "In fact, the resignation of his position is good news for Luo Junzi."

Luo Junzi vowed that he would not serve in the Three Dingjia and was disliked by Grand Secretary He Shuo. Luo Xiangyang, who was ranked among the top in the spring exam in the 14th year of Yongzhi, was declining.

Luo Xiangyang was still a little fat little man who smiled bitterly and sighed. He made up his mind that the spring exam competition in the 17th year of Yongzhi would definitely win the top three.

Xu Yinglang, who was lively, smiled and said, "Junzi Luo's illness is not in the imperial examination, but in the beauty!"

After saying this, everyone laughed. Luo Junzi admired Jia Xichun, and all his classmates knew about it. Jia Huan talked with Luo Xiangyang about Xichun's situation yesterday. She was the same as Yingchun. Jia Jing and Jia She both died in the 13th year of Yongzhi. Both golden hairpins had to be mourned for three years before they could get married.

Separation is also a laugh.

On November 6, 15th year of Yongzhi, all the classmates who were dismissed from Truth gathered in Jia Huan's Wuyou Hall, and said goodbye one after another, returning to the academy.

…

…

On the seventh day of November, Jia Huan made an appointment with Gongsun Liang, and Luo Junzi visited Xiaoyongfang together to visit Grandmaster Fang. Grandmaster Fang was the master of the three of them for the provincial examination. After the visit, the two prepared to set off for the west.

In front of Fang Mansion, the gatehouse and the front yard were very lively. There were great scholars in chatting and laughing, but no white diving came and went. Since Fu Bolong, a great scholar in the capital, he also had the help of "Hanyuan Wenhua" and no one could shake Master Fang's position in the literary world.

The Dazhou Literature Award, held by "Hanyuan Wenhua", is a grand event for the scholars. Although it is once a year, it is better to have nothing than to be too bad. Since its establishment, it has been recognized by only a few books.

For example, the Four Book Lecture Notes of Wendao Academy: "Academy Lecture Notes" will be passed once. This is based on Jia Huan's notes. This is a book revised several times by Wendao Academy Lecturer, Sha Governor, and Shanzhu Zhang Anbo, and is widely used in major academies, county schools, and prefecture schools in the northern region; the Imperial College of Southern Zhili.

Jia Huan went to Fang Mansion without having to pass it on, so he went straight in. After experiencing, waiting, gossiping, and meeting, Fang Wang kept Jia Huan's short story.

The afternoon sun shone through the glass window, and the exquisite small hall was warm and quiet. Fang Wang was wearing a gray robe, and was in his sixties, with a thin appearance. He looked at Jia Huan with a gentle smile. This was his proud disciple.

He was resistant to the public and was the Jia Huan point that would serve as a reference for children in the Northern Zhili Provincial Examination. Now, Jia Huan did not disappoint him.

"Ziyu, I expect to return to Jinling south after the New Year."

Jia Huan was slightly surprised and said, "Mr. Fang, your book is about to be completed?" Jia Huan's reaction was very fast.

Fang Wang nodded with a smile and said, "I have been in Beijing for four years since the end of the eleventh year of Yongzhi. The book review period lasted five or six years. A large number of Shuji scholars were recorded last year, and the progress was accelerated. Zi Yu, although you have escaped this time, the increase in commercial tax revenue can offend a large number of people. Since the emperor sentenced you to never hire. You must not participate in the government affairs too much in the future."

The care is beyond words.

Jia Huan stood up, bowed gratefully, and said, "Don't worry, sir, the student knows."

The increase in commercial tax revenue is indeed very offensive. However, the Grand Secretary Wei Hong will never sincerely promote the increase in commercial tax revenue. Wei Zhongtang, this person has a capable minister and a bureaucratic side.

When Jia Huan interviewed him that day, he said it very thoroughly. He could not have implemented reforms like Grand Secretary He, regardless of himself, offended a large number of people. The method Jia Huan gave was very simple: transfer payment.

If silver coins are used uniformly across the country in Dazhou, the deficit caused by purchasing grain can be compensated through other aspects. For example, if grain is sold in Jiangnan, it will be cheaper to produce grain in Huguang.

As long as you hold the currency, it is easy to dismantle the east wall and repair the west wall. Using the Ministry of Revenue as a central bank can easily achieve transfer payments and balance income and expenditure.

Therefore, Jia Huan's danger was not as great as that. As the Jin King Party had such a large force, Jia Huan just fought back and disappeared. It did not involve actual interests, who would dare to offend him?

Furthermore, being a clay Buddha is a true performance. Jia Huan doesn’t have to worry about it at all. I’m afraid that he, the envoy of the government, will be the nine ministers with the least sense of existence in the history of the dynasty. Jia Huan will not be involved in the government affairs too much.

Master Fang nodded, smiled and stretched, and chanted: "I have been north for four or five years. I will soon return to nature in the cage. Returning, the countryside is about to be deserted, but I will not return? Since I think my heart is in my form, why are you melancholy and sad?

I am happy to be kind to relatives, enjoy the piano and write to relieve worries. Some are destined to be scarves and carts, or boats alone. Wealth and honor are not my wishes, and the imperial hometown cannot be expected. I have a good time to go alone, and write poems in the clear stream. I will ride the transformation to return to the end. Why do you have a happy life and doubt the destiny of heaven!"

Looking at Master Fang, who was free and unhindered, Jia Huan felt extremely emotional. Just like on the rainy night in the ninth year of Yongzhi, the mountain leader recited Qu Zi's Li Sao: sighing and covering his tears, mourning the hardships of people's livelihood.

The aspirations of scholars are different.

The officialdom is like a siege. Some people are sharpening their heads and want to come in, while others are eager to escape.

He envied and yearned for it. Perhaps, when he was in his fifties, he also returned home when Grandmaster Fang was like this.

History of Zhou records: In the spring of the 16th year of Yongzhi, the Minister of Rites and the leader of the literary world of the world Fang Wang presented a letter to Emperor Yongzhi. The author of "Huang Zhou Yinghua" lasted for five years, with more than 50 talents and compiled. The book has a total of 3,000 volumes, covering all kinds of volumes and is voluminous. It records literature, history, agriculture, water conservancy, commerce, maritime trade, war, craftsmanship, edicts, calligraphy, memorials, and steles.

This is another brilliant masterpiece after the "Big Zhou Quanshu" written by Lin Jitong, the Prime Minister of the Three Yuan Dynasty, after the reign of Emperor Zhou Shizu. It fully demonstrated the prosperity of the civilized rule of the Great Zhou Yongzhi Dynasty.

Of course, later generations have had many objections to the historical materials recorded in "Huang Zhou Yinghua" about the alternation between the Kangshun period and the Yongzhi Dynasty.

In the late spring of the 16th year, Emperor Yongzhi promoted Fang Wang to be the Taibao (the first rank), and gave countless rewards, with great gratitude and sent him to Jinling south.

Later, Wei Yuanzhi, editor-in-chief of the Truth and vice president (executive) of "Emperor Zhou Yinghua", was promoted to the Imperial College for his merits.

The Hanlin people who participated in the book review have their own promotions.

…

…

On the afternoon of the seventh day of November, the manager of the Jia family went to the Jia family's family and friends posted posts everywhere.

In the evening, Li Shourong, the Minister of Dali Temple, was at home, looking at the invitation on the desk. On the winter solstice, the Tongzheng envoy Jia Zheng invited friends from the four major families of Jia Shi Wang and Xue to have a banquet.
