It was almost dusk, and there were already traffic in front of Yan Shu’s door, with officials and nobles everywhere, and the scene of wealth and honor is enviable.

Yan Shu has been the prime minister for many years, and he is a good manager. Although Yan Shu’s mansion is not magnificent, it can be seen whether it is vast or not.

Ouyang Bian looked envious.

You have to be like Yan Shu.

There is a joke that arranges Yan Shu like this - Yan Shu's life is the least suitable for arranges into film and television dramas.

Because his story is like this:

When he was a child, he became famous for his child prodigy, and then he successfully passed the imperial examination, then went straight up, went up again, went up again, went up again... nothing.

There are no lows, no ups and downs, no storm, only peace and wealth.

Ouyang Bian looked at his father with disgust - why are you so uneasy?

Ouyang Xiu was furious, what's your look?

When Ouyang Bian saw that he was going to be beaten, he quickly pointed forward: "Go in, hurry up, go in, the banquet is about to begin."

As he said that, he stepped open his short legs and ran towards the door.

The banquet naturally won’t start so early. Ouyang Xiu got one step earlier because he is Yan Shu’s disciple, so he has to ask An first.

Yan Shu sat down and had many disciples and many people greeted him. Yan Shu didn't treat him very well. He just said a few words and asked someone to take him to the back garden.

As Ouyang Bian became a member of society, it is natural that the misconduct between Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu was seen.

But it's normal, these two people were not the same person.

One is self-righteous and the other is upright. Although they are not bad people, their ideas are different after all.

The legend about the two people's disagreement is the incident of drinking and lying poems.

In the first year of Kangding in Renzong, Yan Shu became the Privy Councilor and was in charge of military work.

At that time, Fan Zhongyan and others were fighting the Western Xia arduously in the northwest border.

In the winter of that year, Yan Shu held a banquet and invited Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu was displeased and wrote a poem.

"The master is in harmony with the country, not only is he happy to be prosperous. He must be pity for the iron armor and cold bones, and more than 400,000 border soldiers."

It means that you cannot just spend your time here to enjoy yourself, but you must consider the pain of the soldiers in the northwest frontier.

Yan Shu felt that Ouyang Xiu embarrassed himself in front of everyone, and was very annoyed, and from then on he hated Ouyang Xiu.

In addition to this, there is another thing that has different political views.

After the last blackmail incident, Yan Shu did not completely alienate Ouyang Xiu, who could not speak.

When Yan Shu became the prime minister and Privy Councilor in the third year of Qingli, he took the initiative to recommend Ouyang Xiu as a censor to the court.

Unexpectedly, this "recommendation" triggered a deeper cleft in the relationship between the two.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had tense relations with the northwest neighbor Xixia. Xixia refused to surrender and asked for help. Yan Shu was unwilling to start a war and advocated compromise.

But Ouyang Xiu believed that he should suppress his arrogance.

The two had different political views, and Yan Shu "had a lot of troubles (Ouyang Xiu) about matters and was troubled, or he might have broken the face.

During the Qingli New Deal, Ouyang Xiu vigorously implemented the new policy, which violated the interests of the powerful and nobles, he was framed by Xia Shu and others, and impeached Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and others to engage in party and friends.

In addition, Ouyang Xiu's character of being brave and daring to act and speaking has repeatedly prevented Yan Shu from coming to Taiwan.

Yan Shu had no choice but to arrange for Ouyang Xiu to be transferred from Beijing.

In the fourth year of Qingli, the court wanted to send Ouyang Xiu as the Hebei Transportation Commissioner Sun Fu and Cai Xiang to compose "Letters for Ouyang Xiu", saying that "If you are in Hebei and leave the court, you will lose your strengths in Xiu's talent, and you will be less important in the court's constitution." He believed that Ouyang Xiu should continue to stay.

However, Yan Shu insisted on sending Ouyang Xiu to the outside office, Sun and Cai Sui jointly played Yan Shu, and Yan Shu was dismissed from prime minister and became the governor of Yingzhou.

As a result, Yan Shu became even more disgusted with Ouyang Xiu.

In fact, after all, the two people have different personalities and political views.

However, Ouyang Xiu looked a little depressed.

"Oh, I'll just say, why are the magpies screaming so happily today? It turns out that the drunkard has returned to Bianjing. It's a joyful congratulation!"

A voice suddenly came, and Ouyang Bian knew that he was an old Onmyoji without looking at it. This sarcastic and festive atmosphere was diluted a lot.

Ouyang Bian looked back and saw a middle-aged scholar wearing a Lan shirt, twisting his beard and glanced at Ouyang Xiu sideways.

Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "It turns out to be Mr. Yang, it's really a long time ago."

After Ouyang Xiu said that, he pulled Ouyang Bian away.

Ouyang Bian said curiously: "Dad, who is this person?"

"A little man."

Ouyang Xiu showed disgust on his face.

Ouyang Bian's eyes rolled, oh, it was him.

Ouyang Xiu is broad-minded and although he often speaks out, he rarely holds grudges.

His relationship with Yan Shu was so irresistible, but he still kept thinking about Yan Shu's goodness.

The only one who can make Ouyang Xiu hate so much is the prosecutor Yang Riyan who falsely accused Ouyang Xiu of having an affair with his niece.

But it's your problem. If you hadn't studied his book hard, how could he target you?

At that time, Ouyang Xiu wrote a memorial to impeach him due to Yang Ri's crime of severe corruption. This incident led to the two of them having a great relationship.

Seeing this Master Yang, Ouyang Bian suddenly felt that the banquet tonight might not be peaceful.

Ouyang Xiu had many enemies, but also many friends. He brought Ouyang Bian to greet him along the way. Ouyang Bian felt that his face was frozen.

Whenever I see someone, I have to call him uncle and uncle sweetly. After a long time, I feel hungry.

Night falls.

The sky was clear tonight, and a bright moon was already hanging in the air.

Yan Shu came to the yard surrounded by everyone, and a young man was supporting him. He seemed to be his son or grandson.

Yan Shu looked around with a smile for a week, and when he saw that what he should have arrived, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Although he was no longer in the position of prime minister, his appeal was still very good.

Literary gatherings are not just about eating and drinking, but more about a social occasion. It is also a good opportunity for young people to become famous.

In addition to the nobles tonight, there are many young people who should be students from the Imperial College to look at the costumes, and they all tried their best to hide their excitement.

Yan Shu laughed and said a few words of congratulations. After a change of topic, he turned to poetry.

"...Poetry has developed to its peak in the Tang Dynasty. When we reached the Song Dynasty, there was no poem to write, and the poems of our predecessors were above all!"

Everyone started to laugh.

Indeed, the subject of poetry has been ruined by the Tang people. It is too difficult for them to innovate without that framework.

I heard Yan Shu say again: "... Ci is a good subject, but the previous lyrics are very colorful and frivolous.

I have made a lot of efforts over the years, but I have only taken a small step. If you want to make lyrics a classic like poetry, you have to participate in it together.

Of course, there are also some young talents who are not familiar with lyrics and can write poems. Poetry is different from the level.

Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will taste crabs, drink yellow wine, fragrance of osmanthus, enjoy the bright moon, and gather all the talents to participate in the big event.

I have a suggestion, why not write a poem with the Mid-Autumn Festival as the theme, and hope that many young talents can participate actively. In order to increase the interest, I have prepared a small lottery for the winner..."

Yan Shu took off a milky white jade pendant from his belt and smiled: "...This little jade pendant is regarded as a lottery and encourages the backwards!"

Ouyang Bian, who was busy eating, raised his head and looked at it with his great eyes.

Wow, Hetian jade, this jade is warm and condensed as mutton fat, and it looks like a top-notch Hetian jade.

This top-notch Hetian jade is hard to come by. It has always been priced but has no market. It is really impossible to buy without a certain identity.
