Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Yue, and he didn't expect that this junior fellow student in the past would actually teach him a stern lesson now.

Zhang Heng regained his former majesty and said, "Do you know what a lonely minister is?"

Zhang Yueze said: "I know that the head of the village is a lonely minister, and Duke Ouyang was also a lonely minister back then."

Zhang Heng said: "Yes, Uncle Ouyang Yong was a lone minister. When Emperor Renzong was Emperor Renzong, he was a lone minister of Emperor Renzong. When Emperor Yingzong was Emperor Yingzong, he was a lone minister of Emperor Yingzong. But what about now? When the new emperor came to the throne, he abandoned it like a worn out shoe. Now he is

Disgraced!"

"It's hard to be a lonely minister."

Zhang Yue heard about Zhang Heng's former involvement in three bureau offices and even Cai Xiang, the envoy of the three bureaus, and felt how awesome he was.

What he said about being a lonely minister still rings in my ears.

At first, Zhang Yue thought that Zhang Heng would only be released temporarily, just like Ouyang Xiu. After a while, the emperor thought of his good fortune and would summon Zhang Heng back to the capital. But what?

Zhang Heng was released for a full eight years, and none of the three emperors thought of transferring him back to the capital.

That's it for other officials, but he was the number one scholar in the second year of Jiayou reign.

Zhang Heng said: "I couldn't see it clearly back then. I thought that if I won the first prize, I would just be a lonely minister and then I would be like Duke Xun (Zhang Dexiang)."

"To put it in perspective, once the emperor and his ministers were in the court, the ministers would be like concubines, serving the emperor with sex, and being in the hands of their husbands."

"As for the rich Duke Han and Duke Wei of Han, even if he is not in the court, the officials have to ask him frequently."

What is the difference between concubine and wife?

The wife has property rights, but the concubine does not. I only heard that the wife had a dowry, but the concubine did not hear about it.

Therefore, it was not allowed in ancient etiquette to favor a concubine and destroy a wife.

Seeing Zhang Heng abandoning himself and seeming to snatch the wine from Zhang Yue's hand, Zhang Yue snatched the wine cup away again.

"How do you want to save him?" Zhang Heng was very unhappy.

People's voices kept coming from outside the Fan Tower. When the singer who was playing for the two of them saw the sudden sound of their voices, he couldn't help but stop playing his pipa. Zhang Yue opened the bead curtain and signaled the singer to continue playing and singing.

When the singer saw a young man with an extraordinary bearing beckoning to him, he couldn't help but be startled. He knelt down on the table again a little shyly, and then started playing again.

Singing the most seasonal tunes from Bianjing.

Zhang Yue remembered that when he came to Fanlou in the past, the singers first sang lyrics by Yan Shu and Liu Yong, then Ouyang Xiu and Mei Yaochen, and now Su Shi and the Qingyu Eucalyptus song.

Zhang Yue said: "Zhaizhang, don't drink. I have some good words."

"If you want to get something, you don't need to make a big show of it. You need to be calm and pragmatic, and you can achieve your goal easily and without anyone noticing."

"But if you use too much force, make too much noise, are too childish, and are too ignorant of the world, you will cry, shout, and pull, just like a child pulling at a tablecloth. Not only will you get nothing, but you will also take away all the good things on the table.

If you pull it to the ground, you will never get it back (Note 1)."

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Yue's words. These words really showed maturity and sophistication. Has Zhang Yue reached this point now?

After all, it is not a fluke that he has been promoted all the way to the waiting system. I have always said that he is just lucky.

However, Zhang Heng still said: "What? Have you taught me a lesson now?"

Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare. I just want to think about whether what I said makes sense."

Zhang Heng leaned back and slumped down on the table. At this moment, he was mostly sober from alcohol. Thinking of being taught a lesson by Zhang Yue, who was not as good as him in the past, he suddenly felt a huge loss of face.

Zhang Heng covered his face for a moment, pushed back the hair hanging from his forehead and said, "What do you think I should do now?"

Zhang Yue said: "Zhaizhang, are you sober? Come with me to a place."

Zhang Yue opened the curtain and saw that the shopkeeper of Fanlou was already waiting outside: "I didn't know that Zhang Daizhi is coming here. It's really a long way to welcome him."

Zhang Yue thanked Zhang Heng without being too close, and then left together with Zhang Heng.

The singer on the side picked up the pipa and couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper who the young man was...

Zhang Heng guessed where Zhang Yue was taking him. After they left Fan Tower, they took a carriage and headed south.

Just when Zhang Heng thought Zhang Yue was going to take him out of Bianjing City, he saw the carriage turn around.

After getting off the carriage, Zhang Heng looked in front of him and asked, "Where is this place?"

"Taixue!"

Zhang Yue said to Zhang Heng.

Now Taixue is undergoing a large-scale construction project.

After the current official ascended the throne, he followed Wang Anshi's advice and expanded the number of Taipei students twice.

Two hundred people at a time, nine hundred people at a time.

There are too many students, and the school building will not be enough for living.

Nowadays, the nearby Xiqingyuan and Chaojiyuan have been demolished and merged into Taixue as a school building for Taixue students.

Today's Taixue is several times larger than that of the past, almost replicating the prosperity of Taixue during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Looking at the high-spirited Taixue students and the construction of the middle school building, Zhang Yue felt that things were changing with each passing day. This earth-shattering reform actually started from a small place in Taixue.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng came to Taixue Shooting Garden.

Several imperial students were practicing archery. Zhang Yue asked to borrow two sets of bows and arrows from these imperial students.

Zhang Yue wanted to reward him with a small amount of money, but the other party refused, so Zhang Yue accepted.

He and Zhang Heng competed with each other with bows and arrows!

Zhang Heng just picked up the arrow and missed it, but he saw Zhang Yue had already raised his hand and shot. Seeing that Zhang Yue did not aim carefully, he raised his hand and shot and hit the target.

The students on the left and right clapped their hands and applauded when they saw this!

Zhang Heng was also good at archery. When he was studying in Zhou Jin Hall, he practiced archery day and night. Now that he saw Zhang Yue's ability, he became eager to win.

But Zhang Yue hit the target with another arrow.

Zhang Heng also has a way of thinking. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will fall back. When Zhang Yue was a poor student, he made a living by copying books and reading books everywhere. How could he learn archery? But now his archery skills are as good as this.

So good.

Although Zhang Heng had not drawn his bow and arrow for a long time, a familiar feeling returned to him when he raised his hand.

Zhang Heng calmed his breathing and was about to shoot, but saw that Zhang Yue's third arrow had already hit the target.

"This kid...has come to this!"

Zhang Heng raised his hand and shot an arrow... also a bullseye!

Fortunately, the skills have not been neglected, otherwise today would be a huge embarrassment, Zhang Heng thought.

…

Zhang Heng and Zhang Yue enjoyed this competition.

After the two of them finished shooting, Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng asked, "How is the chief?"

A long-lost confidence returned to Zhang Heng and said: "If it hadn't been for Du, I would have forgotten about this matter. I think I was the most dedicated to this way at the beginning. Fortunately, I am not unfamiliar today."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, the hard work you have done in the past will not be in vain."

"Chief, there is a saying that I always encourage myself."

"Whatever I have to do, I should do it myself and don't leave it to others."

“Whatever needs to be done now, do it now and don’t put off tomorrow.”

"Whatever needs to be done here must be done here, and there is no need to shift it to another place in your imagination."

Zhang Heng said: "I am here and now..."

Zhang Yue said: "Just now when I was in Fanlou, the chief of the restaurant asked me what should I do now? I saw that the chief of the restaurant was depressed, so I couldn't answer him, so I can answer him now."

Only then did Zhang Heng understand why Zhang Yue deliberately brought him to the Taixue Shooting Garden to practice shooting. Zhang Yue had good intentions.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time and then said to Zhang Yue: "Is Xipu City Magistrate Shu Gu Ke Du's teacher?"

Zhang Yue didn't expect why Zhang Heng suddenly mentioned Chen Xiang?

It seems that Zhang Heng and Chen Xiang have nothing in common.

Zhang Heng said: "When we first set up a county school in Pucheng, we only recruited county students from poor families. At that time, I was studying in Zhoujintang Clan School. One day, after reading my article, my commander called me to the county school.

Ask me if I want to join his family?"

Zhang Yue was surprised that there was such a thing. He had never heard the teacher say it before.

But looking at Zhang Heng's appearance, it seems that he didn't take a fancy to him at first.

That's right, Zhang Heng definitely didn't like it. Zhoujin Hall is a school of the Zhang clan, and Zhang Youzhi was invited to teach it. In all aspects, it is definitely better than the county school.

Didn't Zhang Dun want to go from the county school to the Zhang clan school, but he couldn't do it?

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the most important thing about studying is the origin of family education, which is like martial arts secrets that are not easily passed on to others.

Most people won't be able to read even if they get a book, because they don't know how to segment sentences. Like a private school, you start with the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand-Character Literature, and then proceed step by step with the Four Books and Five Classics. This method is for students with relatively average qualifications and no famous teachers.

For students, the threshold is lowered so that people can come in and learn something.
