It is true that one's character can be seen from the wine he drinks, and everyone is proud to have met Shang Zhangfan.

Liu Yanei felt that Zhang Fan was doing it for his own sake. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan asked Zhang Cheng to sit beside him and looked after him very much.

Seeing Zhang Wei looking after Zhang Cheng, everyone felt that there might be something special about him.

However, Zhang Cheng's mind was not on the dinner. He looked out the window and saw the bustling people on the streets of Nanxunmen outside Taixue. These people were either getting up early or on the way to get dirty. In recent years, although the imperial court has a rich treasury, but

More money was spent on military affairs in the west and north, but people's livelihood was still difficult.

Although my father advocated Mencius' theory in Taixue, which regarded "people as the foundation" as the righteousness, he also admitted that today's officials can only be good officials if they don't bother the people too much, let alone put the people first.

However, at the banquet, several people in Liu Yamen were Taoists. If it were not for Jing Gong and Jiangong, the two wise ministers defeated Dangxiang in the west and rejected Khitan in the north.

How could the Song Dynasty have the peaceful scene it has today?

During the dinner, Zhang Cheng changed his clothes, and Zhang Wei had a chance to talk with the two of them.

"Brother Cheng, why did you change your name to the Imperial Academy?"

Zhang Cheng said with a sad look on his face: "I failed the provincial examination last time, which made my mother lose face. Even my father's plea for me was useless, so... I came out to hide for a while."

Zhang Wei showed a look of deep sympathy. Everyone knew that Qi Niang was the ‘Supreme Prime Minister’.

The emperor and Zhang Yue always discussed important matters in the court; but in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yue was often at a loss for words...

Zhang Wei sighed: "No wonder I didn't see you the last time I went to your house with my father!"

Zhang Cheng said: "I'm no better than you. Last time it was your father who came to make peace with my father on behalf of Uncle Zihou!"

"I have said that Uncle Zihou has been regretting it for so many years, but he does not express it in such words."

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, but your father still doesn't agree. In fact, Uncle Dun has always been arrogant and arrogant. If he has any regrets, he has never said it. But this time, after so many years, his temper

Things have changed. I often ask my father about the current situation of you and Brother Gen. He always keeps it in his heart."

Zhang Cheng said: "But I think dad did the right thing. It's not that the clothes are not as good as new and the people are not as good as old."

"Don't get entangled with old people and things that have missed you and come back to find you."

"In this way, you have to clarify the original relationship with him, and you have to look at the future. What's over is past."

Zhang Quan said: "What you say makes sense. It can be seen that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. You are much better than when I first met you."

Zhang Cheng said: "Don't be rude to me. Yes, you are very familiar with Liu Yanei?"

Zhang Wei laughed and said: "What Liu Yanei? Does he deserve to be called Yanei? His Liu family has been in decline for a long time. I am hosting a banquet for your roommate today all because of your sake."

"Why isn't his family from an aristocratic family? His father is still in the sixth rank." Zhang Cheng asked.

Zhang Quan said: "Huh, let me tell you, even if this kind of official family is ruined, it cannot be seen by outsiders. At least it must maintain its dignity."

"Why? Isn't that just trying to make someone look fat?"

Zhang Quan said: "Don't look down on these people. As long as he doesn't tell Liu Yamen, the Liu family is still a well-known family. If there are any good jobs outside, they can fall on him, or some officials are interested in his family and are willing to work with them."

Marriage, after all, there is a chance to make a comeback."

"But as long as he exposes his true identity, not only will other people's respect for his family disappear, but all these good things will not be in their turn."

"The Liu Yanei you are talking about, his current dignity is maintained by selling his family's assets, secretly borrowing money, and constantly repaying the old with the new. I don't know how many more years it can last."

Zhang Cheng sighed: "No wonder, no wonder."

"This time, the Liu family has put in a lot of effort to let him go to Imperial College. You are right too. Avoid associating with such people. Not only will you be tainted by bad habits, but it will also ruin your own future. A gentleman would rather go alone than suffer grievances."

Self. Don't worry, I showed a little respect for you today, and these people will know how to weigh you up in the future."

"Thank you very much, brother."

Having said this, Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Cheng seriously and said: "You are also a strange person. The prime minister went to the Imperial Academy to study incognito. Could it be that you pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?"

Zhang Cheng said: "Brother Qi, I have already told you why I am here. Besides, I am not a dandy. Although the life in Taixue is poor, I have lived a good life."

"My father had a much harder time than I did when he was in Taipei University, but unlike me, he passed the exam here and finally won the top prize in high school. Why can't I do it?"

"ha!"

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "Brother Qi, please don't look down on me. In one year's time, we will take the Imperial Examination and see who is the Imperial Prince!"

Zhang Wei slapped his thigh and said with great joy: "That's right. We, the children of the Zhang family, are chasing each other like this. Let's see whose family is more promising in the future."

"To be honest, you failed in the last provincial examination. Several of Uncle Dun's children laughed at you after reading your paper."

Zhang Cheng was very angry when he heard this.

Zhang Wei deliberately smiled and said: "I am telling you just to let you fight. I will not get involved in the grievances between your two families, but my father and I have the same attitude. It is enough to just hope that the children of our Zhang family can get well."

!”

"We, the children of the Zhang family, are competing to see who can be more loyal to our country, our country, and our people!"

"Who can make our Zhang family shine for future generations better?"

Sure enough, looking at Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wei chatting and returning to the dinner, all the classmates were all impressed with Zhang Cheng. I don’t know what kind of luck this kid had, but he was able to talk happily with Zhang Wei.

I know this is a fate that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!

Liu Yanei's attitude towards Zhang Cheng also changed, and he even took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea.

Zhang Cheng was a little embarrassed.

The Seventeenth Mother did not allow him to associate with the children of officials, for fear that he would be contaminated by the dandy spirit, so the only people he usually got along with were his brothers Zhang Gen and Guo Xuan.

Everything is very new now.

Liu Yanei wanted to test Zhang Cheng's identity, and Zhang Fan said: "I have great respect for scholars who are studious and tireless. Just when I entered the house, everyone came to welcome me, but Liangbi was the only one who held the book and refused to let go. You know what the future holds

It’s not something that’s in a pool.”

"If anything happens in the future at Taixue, Liangbi can tell me by name."

When everyone heard this, it turned out that there was such a way to gain others' appreciation.

But after Zhang Wei said this, everyone was relieved.

However, Zhang Cheng could see that his classmates and even Liu Yanei yearned for Zhang Fan's level.

But Zhang Cheng knew what was behind Zhang Quan's courtesy, forthrightness and righteousness. No one at their level could get up through being gentle, courteous and thrifty.

Before the great victory at Taoshui, Zhang Kai sat and watched Liang Yi's soldiers and horses burning, killing and looting on Xihe Road. Countless people died under the swords of the party members, but Zhang Kai remained indifferent throughout the whole process.

It was not until Dangxiang's troops and horses returned to Dangxiang after being devastated that Zhang Kai led the Song army, which had been recuperating for a long time, to appear at the Taoshui River behind Dangxiang's troops and horses, and the final battle decided the outcome.

Afterwards, many officials in Xihe Road wanted to impeach Zhang Kai, but Zhang Yue suppressed them all. Even the officials said that Zhang Kai was too cruel.

In this position, no one is a gentleman or a good person in the true sense.

Sima Guang may be the only exception in the world.

How can wine be colorless? Not long after, there was a singer drinking and sitting down. Zhang Cheng was not used to this. Zhang Wei laughed and rejected Zhang Cheng, but he was like a veteran. Zhang Cheng didn't know that his father was in Taipei back then.

Have you ever encountered such a scene in school?
