The woman in the picture has a pointed jaw and a melon-shaped face. She has a beautiful and handsome face, a slender neck and a slippery shoulders. She has a graceful and handsome figure. However, when Zhao Bing looked carefully, she found that her thin eyebrows and long eyes were filled with sadness and melancholy. He didn't know whether it was the painter's business or his emotions were overflowing, but it was the sadness between the eyebrows and eyes that attracted his gaze.

Zhao Bing knew that the talent show would mean a disaster for poor families, but it was an absolute opportunity for officials and wealthy families. Not to mention being the queen, even becoming a concubine is the honor of the family, and a talisman was posted. Girls of their own age would often rush to send them to the palace for selection.

In this era, the free love of the West Chamber, the White Snake is almost a fantasy. Being able to enter the palace is a good choice for them. Not to be happy, nor will they be sad. This made Zhao Bing think that this little lady would not have a dream lover, but was broken up by a couple, right? Then it would be better for her to be an adult beauty, don’t be a cuckold, and then have a ‘happy father’!

"Zhang Ping, whose ancestral home is divided into Ning County, was born in the sixth year of Chunyou." Zhao Bing took the booklet and turned to the introduction and recited softly, "His ancestor Zhang Jian, whose courtesy name is Gongbing, his name is Hangshan, and his nickname is Wansou. In the fourth year of Chunhu, he passed the provincial examination in another courtyard. He became a senior official in the Secretariat, served as the Left Lang Office, and was a lecturer in Chongzheng Palace. He was promoted to the General Privy Council and the General Office. He was soon promoted to the General Privy Council. In the tenth year of Xianchun, Zhang Jian was the right prime minister and Privy Council envoy. At the beginning of the following year, Boyan led the Mongolian army to invade the south and approached Lin'an. The whole court was panicked. Seeing the critical situation, Zhang Jian inquired out and sneaked out. Soon afterwards he was recalled and was dismissed..."

"Why are there different opinions here?" Zhao Bing saw this section, but two views appeared. The official statement was first, but the affairs bureau discovered it later.

The statement of the Affairs Bureau is contrary to the official announcement, saying that Zhang Jian was appointed as the right prime minister and the envoy of the Privy Council in the tenth year of Xianchun. At that time, when Yuan soldiers invaded, he actively advocated the war and supported the national hero Wen Tianxiang's proposal to resist Yuan. Later, due to the death of Han Zhen's palace commander, Jian and Zeng Yuan's son had close contact with Han Zhen, and were persecuted by the treacherous party left prime minister Wang Lun and were dismissed from returning home.

These two statements are very different. According to the official statement, Zhang Jian fled in fear of the enemy and was recalled and dismissed from the prime minister. At present, he must be held accountable. Even if he will not be captured and imprisoned, he will not be reprimanded. If he even has to be deprived of his official position and affects his family, his granddaughter will not be able to pass the primary election. According to the Affairs Bureau, Zhang Jian was framed by him because of his disagreement with Wang Lun's political views and was framed by him. Therefore, according to this statement, he is a victim of the court struggle and has nothing to do with his character.

Zheng Huchen sent the information to this end, and also attached Wen Tianxiang's "Preface to Jianhangshan" with a sentence "A lifetime plan for residents, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to save the country's heart", which is widely circulated. He praised him as an official and a human being, his character and qualities: "The old man of the country, the Qing ministers of the times, the paintings of political and religious areas, and the customs are renewed. Wealth and honor are not lustful, and we should not be sympathetic to troubles, and the gods will always be virtuous." Zhao Bing believed that Wen Tianxiang's character would not be so irresponsible, and he praised him without principles just because he supported him to resist the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Bing thought Zhang Jian's integrity was still credible. Because both the official and the report mentioned something, saying that after the death of Han Zhen, the imperial commander Han Zhen, the censor found that Han Zhen was suspected of being a rebellious plot when he confiscated the relics of Han Zhen. Zhang Jian had a close contact with Han Zhen and was imprisoned for being involved in crimes. After being released from prison, he returned to his hometown. Someone told him that he had hidden treasure seals at his home. The government sent troops to search for it in a large amount, but he found nothing except a jade cup.

After the information, there are also comments about Zhang Jian from the world. Some people call him generous. When interacting with others, they often agree with others' opinions, calling him "happy in the court", saying that he has no principles in dealing with things; some people say that although he is a prime minister, he is like a commoner. He is honest in his official position, rigorous in his political affairs, and is generous in others. Some people say that he is upright and never goes out to brothels and tiles.

After seeing it, Zhao Bing suddenly felt that this old man was really a weird official. He seemed to have no principles, but actually had a bottom line. He had some meaning of "Lu Duan is not confused about his major affairs". He is still alive so far, not only did he report to the court to seek official positions, nor was he involved in Chen Yizhong's rebellion case, and he was also missing in the incident of celebrating the Empress Dowager. Moreover, he was not affected in the "resistance of rebellion". Instead, he was able to send his granddaughter to the palace to be selected while the identity of a "criminal minister" is still there, and successfully pass the primary election, and then advance to the top five.

"Old man Zhang is really good at playing!" Zhao Bing thought for a while and shook his head and chuckled. Zhang Jian was able to successfully send his granddaughter into the palace because he had the ability to "full house" that he could be able to survive the disputes in the court and tolerate them by various factions. It was precisely because of his oil and slipperyness that he had good popularity. Good rewards are rewarded with evil, and his good popularity is used at this moment. I am afraid that no one would believe that such a good person would rebel, and being dismissed was just designed by someone.

Zhao Bing felt that Zhang Jian was like he was throwing himself into a trap. He saw the current situation clearly. When the Song army had no chance of winning, he knew that it was difficult to turn the world back, so he simply fulfilled the wishes of some people, admitted the charge of "escaping", gave them reasons to dismiss themselves, and also sought a way out. But he still did not guess that the Song Dynasty would make a comeback, and he did not stand up to prove his innocence. It is very likely that the Qing people were clear and there was no need to stand up and shout.

The facts also confirm Zhang Jian's judgment. Not only are the grassroots officials in the prefectures, counties and townships green lights for him, but many officials in the court now know this, such as Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Liu Fu, Zhang Shijie, etc., but no one has raised any objections. This shows that everyone knows it clearly and turns a blind eye to it.

"The little girl is worried about nothing!" Zhao Bing figured out the links and put Huaer aside and said secretly. It was because Zhang Ping didn't know the inside story of the matter that after entering the palace, he couldn't help but worry that his grandfather's identity as a "sinner" would affect the talent show. He was worried that his melancholy appearance was painted into the painting by the painter...

"Which lady is this?" Zhao Bing picked up another picture and looked carefully. But when he saw the little girl standing still with her hands down, wearing a faint silk shirt, with a thin waist like a willow, and her figure was as light as a floating cloud, but she walked over like a goddess, as if a light cloud came out of the mountains, with slender hands, her pupils, and a pair of bright eyes, with a fresh look that was unconventional and fresh, and the small raised nose made her feel a little playful.

"Cheng Su, ancestral home from She County, was born in the sixth year of Chunyou." Zhao Bing opened and searched again. This booklet was like a book of life and death for these women to be selected. Whether it was a mother's favor or a sad turn, it was all in between, which was enough to change the fate of a woman and a family.

The Cheng family had a long family, but it was a general in the Song Dynasty. After entering the Song Dynasty, the descendants of the Cheng family gradually changed their style. The Cheng family won the imperial examination one after another and entered the official career, thus becoming a scholarly family. His ancestor Cheng Yuanfeng, whose courtesy name was Shenfu and his pseudonym Nezhai, was admitted to the second year of Shaoding of Lizong. He passed the imperial examination and was appointed as a professor of Jiangling Prefecture. Later, he served as a doctor of the Imperial Academy, a doctor of the Zongxue, a secretary-general, a secretary-general, a supervisor, a censor, and a censor in the hall. He was known for his loyalty and integrity. During the Chunyou period, he was promoted to the Imperial Academy. During the reign of Lizong, he was promoted to the Secretary-general, a secretary-general, and was appointed as a supervisor-general.

In the third year of Baoyou, he signed a letter to the Privy Council and served as the chief minister. The following year, he was promoted to the right prime minister and the Privy Council, and proposed to promote the wise, love the people, prepare for borders, abide by the law, be cautious in detail, and review orders, and twelve-character policy as the policy program. He personally selected dozens of people with both moral integrity and talent from the country and recommended them to the court for reuse. In the sixth year, he was promoted to Dongxiao Palace. In the third year of Xianchun, he was once again appointed as the Privy Council and the Privy Council, and was dismissed as Chen Yizhong. In his later years, he was awarded the position of Shaofu and was also promoted to Duke of Jiguo. However, because of his conflict with Jia Sidao, he retired as a senior citizen of Guanwen Palace and retired to Huangshan.

Cheng Yuanfeng was quite fair and selfless in the court, and was known for her loyalty and integrity. She had many descendants and made many achievements in the imperial examinations. Cheng Su was the youngest daughter of her eldest son. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, her father retired to the hometown and enjoyed writing and teaching children. After recovering Jiangnan, she became a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. Cheng Su was born in a scholarly family. She was well-versed in classics and history, good at painting, good at music, and was particularly good at poetry. She was very talented.

After reading it, Zhao Bing's first feeling was that the empress dowager found a teacher for herself. She had a brief classics and history, and could write her words, but she dared not call her good, and she had excellent drawings and no talk about paintings. She could not hum a few words, but she could only recognize the piano, so she could not play it; she could plagiarize poetry, but she had no way to do it. These skills are often something that an emperor would know, and at least she should know how to appreciate it. Maybe the empress dowager saw that she was too inferior and knew that it was hopeless, so she simply found a wife to support her.

However, Zhao Bing felt that the Empress Dowager forgot to consider her feelings. Although she had a shield during the banquet in the hall, she could think about the wife's chanting poems, paintings, playing the piano, singing songs, and singing with each other, and she could only smile and applaud her hands, how embarrassed and helpless it would be. If she wanted to ask how big the shadow in her heart would be, she would probably know the result without counting it. So in order to avoid embarrassment in the future, he could only let it go temporarily.

"This..." Zhao Bing took the last portrait, but didn't know how to comment. Maybe he had just seen a few beauties of various kinds, and he was a little aesthetically exhausted. He didn't think that this person was so beautiful. There was nothing special about it at a rough look, but when he looked closely, he was still very attractive. He had a high bun on his head, beautiful eyebrows, dignified and beautiful, with a positive facial features, a pink face, a charity face, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

If you only look at this woman's face, among the few Zhao Bingjue, she is more in line with the criteria for the selection of emperors of all dynasties in the Song Dynasty. She is not ugly, has a square face and a kind face, and is a little older. She is simply a very vivid Guanyin Empress. When he looks at the introduction to his family situation, it is even more amazing. She is not only not inferior to the previous ones, but also more prominent.

In the introduction, the woman was named Wu Xi, from Anji, born in Chunyou in the fourth year. The previous introductions all went back to two generations, but this one started with his great-grandfather Wu Qian. In short, the Wu Qian family, from his grandfather Wu Picheng to his grandson Wu Baoqian, and especially the three wise men of Rou Sheng, Yuan and Qian Wu clans all passed the imperial examinations and were both important officials of the court. Yuan and Qian brothers became prime ministers one after another. They were officials of the five generations and were prominent for a time. They also made the Wu clan of Ningguo among the most prominent and prosperous families in the Song Dynasty.

Wu Qian was born in the residence of his father Wu Rousheng. The following year, his mother, Mrs. Shen, died of illness. She was often affected by floods and returned to Ningguo with her father. At the age of six, he lived with his uncle Wu Rouli, who was an official in Mu Xuancheng, and traveled to Ningguo, Wanling, Jingxian and other places. The young Wu Qian was very smart. He entered the state school at the age of fourteen, led the village entrance examination at the age of sixteen, and then led the village entrance examination at the age of twenty-two. In the tenth year of Jiading, Wu Qian, 23, became the first Jinshi for his nationality, and became one of the two top scholars of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wu Qian lived in the period of the two dynasties of Ji Ningzong and Lizong of the Song Dynasty, and the main political activities were during the Lizong period. Although he served as the chief political affairs, Privy Councilor, left and right prime minister, the time was not long, and the total was less than two years and eight months. When he went out, he had been guarding the eleven prefectures such as Jiaxing, Jiankang, Longxing, Taiping, Pingjiang, Zhenjiang, Lin'an, Fuzhou, Shaoxing, Qingyuan, and Ningguo. He often served as the commander, tutor, or general. During his more than 40 years of political life, he had been with internal and external troubles at the end of the Song Dynasty. Finally, he was framed by the treacherous minister Jia Sidao, and died in the demotion of Xunzhou in the third year of Jingding.

Wu Qian grew up in a family that taught Neo-Confucianism for two lifetimes, and the essence of Neo-Confucianism was to resolutely safeguard feudal rule. However, when the conflicts between the Song nationalities became the main social contradiction at that time, he also demanded a fight with the people based on the Confucian unification idea of ​​"respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", and his brothers of Wu Qian also saw it in practice. Therefore, he pointed out Chen Zhouzhi about the gains and losses of current affairs and warfare measures; he also criticized Chen Zhouzhi for the shortcomings of rulers, especially the emperors.

As for the struggle between the power and the treacherous party, it became more and more intense as the current situation became critical. Wu Qian believed in Confucianism, adhered to the doctrine of the mean, and kept himself clean. Especially in the early stage of his official career, he often sneered at the power and the treacherous party without making a strong counterattack. However, when Wu Qian became the prime minister and the prime minister, he felt that the treacherous party would not be eliminated and the country would be difficult to recover. However, in the court where the emperor was stupid and the treacherous ministers were in power, how could Wu Qian's wish become a reality?

However, Zhao Bing thought that although Wu Qian's ambition was not fulfilled, Zhongliang, who was speaking out in a straightforward manner, was commendable and the uprightness of fighting the traitor party. In short, the eulogy could be written when the coffin was sealed, "Comrade Wu Qian's life is a life of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, a life of diligence and loving the people, a life of uprightness and a life of respect for future generations!"

Wu Qian married the Ping family of Lishui and gave birth to Pu, Lin and Jie. He died. He never married again and did not hang maids. Therefore, he had only three sons in the world. Among the three sons, Wu Pu had a good career in history. In the fourth year of Chunyou, he was appointed as a Jinshi. He was first appointed as a proofreader. He was renamed the General System of Jiaxing Prefecture and was renamed the governor of the Yangtze River. Wu Pu also had the eldest son Baoqian, who was appointed as the Chenggong Lang, Pingjiang Road Zhizhong; his second son Baoli was appointed as the regent envoy.
