Chapter five hundred and ninetieth Ouyang Xiu envoy to Xixia
When Ouyang Xiu left Beijing, he was very simple. He only brought a small book boy with him, except for the emperor's flags. However, there were many people coming to see him off. One was Ouyang Xiu's good reputation, and the other was because his trip was to promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty and was full of glory.
Moreover, Ouyang Xiu had excellent interpersonal relationships in the court. Even if he opposed Song Qi's promotion of the Taixue style, he used a tactful way, which made people admire him and was moved by his way of dealing with people.
The Song Dynasty held a contest between the plain writing style and the Taixue style. With Zhao Zhen's support from the public, Ouyang Xiu's plain writing style was respected and developed. The imperial examination system is changing to another state, that is, practical knowledge is good knowledge.
This is a rare change. Mathematics, study of matters, and even the six arts of gentlemen were added. Zhao Zhen felt that even scholars should have a good body, otherwise even if they are talented and die after a year of official position, wouldn’t the loss to the Song Dynasty even be greater?
Ouyang Xiu left, and he was extremely elegant when he left. The Wuwei cavalry given by Zhao Zhen was wearing gorgeous armor and holding a terrifying cavalry rifle. There was also an iron shield behind him, giving people an extremely concise feeling. Indeed, this was a cavalry belonging to the royal family. Zhao Zhen deliberately changed his big horse into a practical army.
It is also a powerful brigade under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and is not weaker than the personal guards that made the Western Xia and Liao dynasties scared. In Zhao Zhen's view, the army equipped with a lot of money should be the strongest, and only the least useful personnel should be worthy of being used as a guard of ceremonies.
So Dajialuo was changed to Zhao Zhen to a guard...
Their ceremonial weapons were all replaced with the most advanced ones. The "trash" that were originally not useful, and were all wrapped in gold and silver plated, were replaced with sharp horizontal knives, powerful crossbows, long rifles, and tough horse lances.
Even so, the price of the newly replaced equipment is not as impressive as the original price. Zhao Zhen heard that he lamented the flashyness of the ceremonial guards. By the way, he named these guards Qi Jialuo Books to show the difference. After all, sometimes they also have to act as the big guards.
The exquisite team of hundreds of people was extremely gorgeous. This was the honor given to him by the emperor and the ceremonial guards representing the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu naturally would not object, but his clothes and etiquette were significantly inversely proportional, which further highlighted his etiquette.
Countless people looked at him enviously. This kind of indifference alone is unmatched by ordinary people. If someone else gets this job, he will not leave grandly? But because of his appearance, Zhao Zhen admires him very much. This person has a unique personal charm. Even the emperor Zhao Zhen can't help but want to make friends with Ouyang Xiu when summoning him...
Zhao Zhen, who was standing on the city tower, nodded with satisfaction, but Sancai on the side said, "The official family has given him such a high honor, but he is very idle!"
"Absurd, Ouyang Xiu's backbone is probably stronger than anyone else. He has shown his strength and is very sharp. He is rarely able to compete with his intention to be the governor of Chuzhou. I have demoted him before to be the governor of Chuzhou to polish his aura. I didn't expect that he could understand so quickly, and it can be seen just by looking at his governance of Chuzhou.
The magistrate of a state should have worked hard, but he still maintained a relaxed and lazy attitude, and was "lenient" in his administration, so that he and the people could live a relaxed life. But even under such a governing policy, Chuzhou was governed in an orderly manner. If he hadn't understood why my profound meaning was like this?"
Sancai looked at Ouyang Xiu who was leaving in surprise: "I didn't expect that he was still a great talent! It's just that the imperial examination was a second-class Jinshi... Could it be that the sharpness was too obvious, and the examiners wanted to sluggish their aura and promote their talent?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and left. Yan Shu praised him very much at the beginning, so Zhao Zhen did this on purpose, but Wang Gongchen, who participated in the imperial examination with him, was not ranked first. There was no way. Ouyang Xiu had already won three yuan in a row... But what's interesting is that Wang Gongchen and Ouyang Xiu are both friends and brother-in-law, and they can be considered as a fat man who has no money to go to outsiders' fields...
Ouyang Xiu not only had outstanding talents and academic knowledge, but also had a unique vision in politics. He advocated the principle of erosion and gradually invading the Western Xia.
This coincides with Zhao Zhen's grand strategy. Zhao Zhen once took the exam alone. His handling of political affairs and promotion of his descendants all made Zhao Zhen satisfied and even applauded. There were a large number of merchants in Beijing, but during the canal transportation, they often had to be auctioned after the official ship.
Ouyang Xiu submitted a memorial, asking to separate the time for the entry of the official ship and the civilian ship. The urgent tasks of the official ships rarely enter the city at night. Most of the civilian ships are used to supply the cost of Beijing and enter the city during the day. After Zhao Zhen adopted it, the canal transport of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was rarely blocked.
This is a simple method, but no one mentioned it, either because they were unexpected or because things were too small, or because the official ships were mostly family members of officials and the privileged class was used to this, but Ouyang Xiu's approach of breaking privileges and facilitating the people and benefiting the people was valued by Zhao Zhen.
This is largely the reason for promoting him as a minister to the political affairs of the Communist Party of China. Once this "hard bone" of the Song Dynasty can promote his prestige when he is on mission to the Western Xia, Zhao Zhen can pave the way for his prime minister. In Zhao Zhen's view, Ouyang Xiu is fully talented as a prime minister and is Pang Ji's ideal successor.
No one knows the importance of a country's prime minister than Zhao Zhen. The ruler of any era needs a capable deputy. The prime minister is the emperor's deputy to help him deal with cumbersome political affairs. Even the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was extremely suspicious and did not use the prime minister's power, were abandoned by his descendants after his death.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to abolish the prime minister. The world is so big and the many things that the emperor can't handle. Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical representative. He has been dealing with political affairs for thirty years and finally died of worry and pain. Zhao Zhen did not want to be like this.
Correspondingly, choosing an excellent slaughter is more important than anything else. He is a necessary candidate for governing the country. If the best is good, the worst is bad, and if it is unchanged, it will never change.
This is also an important reason why Zhao Zhen tried his best to cultivate talents. Only when the court's ministers are excellent can the country be excellent. Only when the prime minister is diligent and capable can the country's government affairs be honest and fair.
As the team disappeared, Zhao Zhen returned to Beijing City, and the magnificent Beijing Field came into view. Zhao Zhen nodded secretly, "Yes, he was in the Song Dynasty." At this time, the melodious bell sounded from the palace, and gradually all the temples in the entire Beijing City echoed one after another, and the bell echoed throughout the entire Beijing City.
Sancai stepped forward excitedly and said, "Official family, Cu... the football match has begun! Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, are you going?"
"Go! Why not?" Zhao Zhen answered without hesitation and glanced at Sancai and said, "What are you doing so excited? You can't bet on me behind my back?"
Sancai smiled silly and said, "This is the plague opened by the official family, so the servants naturally have to support him..."
Zhao Zhen laughed and scolded: "What a mess I said, I don't have any bonus, and all the money will be recorded in the Three Divisions! The warehouse... is just three of them..."
