Prime Minister

Chapter 214 The Big Brother's Judgment

Fu Bi is not only sharp, but also 'straight'.

to what extent?
Han Qi and Fu Bi were promoted by Fan Zhongyan, if Fan Zhongyan hadn't praised Fu Bi in front of Yan Shu.Fu Bi might not be able to become Yan Shu's son-in-law.

However, for this benefactor in his official career, Fu Bi had often contradicted him, and made Fan Zhongyan unable to step down several times.Someone asked him, have you forgotten Fan Xianggong's great kindness?But Fu Bi said, Fan Xianggong appreciates me precisely because my views are different from his. How can I give up my own views in return for kindness?

Others asked Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan also said that Fu Bi was different from the vulgar, and this is what I admire about him.

It's nothing more than Fu Bi's treatment of Fan Zhongyan like this, what's more, even his father-in-law Yan Shu also scolded him.

Fu Bi once pointed at Yan Shu in front of Song Renzong and cursed that Yan Shu was a treacherous villain and formed a party with Lu Yijian to deceive His Majesty.

In later generations, no one would dare to scold his father-in-law like that. Fu Bi not only scolded him, but also called him by his first name.However, Fu Bi's popularity as prime minister is still extremely high, and the current language favors the four truths, and Fu Xianggong is the true prime minister.

Fu Bi spoke like this to Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan, let alone to himself.

Having said that, many bigwigs speak very 'directly' because they don't have to worry about what others think of them.

In fact, many people doubted whether Zhang Yue wrote this heart attacking couplet, including the original Three Character Classic, and many people doubted it.

However, although everyone has doubts in their hearts, they generally do not speak out in person.

Isn't it offensive to speak so openly?

Although the scholars in the Song Dynasty still had a simple style, simplicity does not mean low EQ.

It's not a matter of stake, who would do something to slap someone in the face, isn't he afraid of offending others?
Zhang Yue looked at Fu Bi and thought to himself, if he explained directly, I really made this heart-attacking couplet, and then he would fall into the lower class after talking about it.

So to put aside this topic, Fu Bi's real purpose is to show his talent in front of him, this is also the aggressive method of the boss, a kind of test for you.

The quickest way to see if a person has talent and learning is to listen to his talk.

Zhang Yueyan said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhaowen's words are sharp, and the more he can't be right."

When Zhang Yue said this, of course he was not cowardly, but he paused and said: "Yue is a citizen of Fujian and Yue. He has lived for ten years and now has six years. The gentleman asked Yue what to say. Talking big in front of you."

"But if Mr. Xianggong tests the talents of the lower ones, then the more you do this, the more bold you will be to try and talk about it."

Fu Bi nodded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Fu Bigao is sitting in the hall, and Fu Shaoting is on the right. There is a step above and below the hall.

Zhang Yue and the others sat down at the bottom of the steps. At this moment, the left and right servants brought tea to Zhang Yue.

However, Zhang Yue didn't drink tea, but walked away from his seat for a few steps, typed a lot of manuscripts, and then said: "The things that cover the world, from the three kings to the present, the predecessors have their own conclusions, but the present Words, there is still something in my heart.”

At the beginning of the article, I talked about the three generations in general, which was also adopted by scholars at that time. It seems that the scale is huge, which is not surprising.

Everyone continued to listen to Zhang Yuewen.

Zhang Yue walked to the wall, turned around and continued, "The ancient emperors were all talented and self-made. Emperor Hangao's recovery was slow, Tunxiang's strength was strong, and Emperor Hanwen's generosity and elders were enough to obey. The treachery of the world. What? It lies in letting others use it, so that it is easy to achieve success."

"As for Emperor Wu, he has more than enough financial resources, and is more intelligent and wise than Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wen. However, when he gave to the world, there were some setbacks and failures. What? Don't appoint others and use it for yourself."

After Zhang Yue said something, Fu Bi nodded slightly and thought, this guy is really talented.

Zhang Yue continued: "From this point of view, the responsibility of the Son of Heaven lies in appointing others. Among the people in the world today, the so-called talented people who can make great use of them are none other than Ming Gong. The most meritorious ones are those who push them among the public and ministers. He is the most virtuous when he is above the people, and he is the most courageous when he spreads among the barbarians. Who are the three and not Ming Gong?"

Fu Bi went to the Liao Kingdom twice to negotiate peace for the Song Dynasty and eliminate the war. At that time, the scholars and bureaucrats believed that Fu Bi had made great contributions.

This can be heard as a hymn.

It is not surprising that it is all straightforward.

But at this point, Zhang Yue paused and changed the subject: "In the past, Bian Que was famous all over the world as a doctor. One person asked Bian Que to heal his son, and his intentions were very sincere. However, Bian Que said that it was difficult. Although your son's illness will not lead to death, it is difficult to heal. If you treat it urgently, it will hurt your limbs. If you treat it slowly, you will work hard and refuse to go."

"I can't go, but I'm in a dilemma between urgent treatment and slow treatment. If the treatment is urgent, the whole world will think that I can't work. If the treatment is slow, the whole world will think that I can't cure it."

"Others sighed, Bian Que knows the medicine of medicine, but he doesn't know the medicine of non-medicine. What is the medicine of non-medicine? He does not care about what he does, so he can adapt to infinity."

Hearing this, Fu Bi already understood what Zhang Yue said, and he nodded slowly while stroking his beard.

Zhang Yue stepped up to the hall, and said eloquently: "Today, a gentleman who abides by the law carefully and cares about everything is just like Bian Que, who is a doctor who knows medicine. However, things in the world, if you are urgent, you will die, and if you are slow, you will die." You can get it, but you can’t do it too slowly. It has been five years since the Duke of Ming came to power, and the world has not heard the name of generosity and fierceness, but he has heard the sound of honesty. Those who want to know it are Minggong, but he still has the disease of Bian Que.”

Zhang Yue said that everyone was stunned, and couldn't help savoring the deep meaning.

And Zhang Yue took a look at Fu Bi's expression, and finally cupped his hands and said: "The reason why people look up at Minggong today is because they are thinking about this, and when they look at Minggong, they think about what they said, and they should have the hope of understanding the world. "

On the side, Fu Shaoting peeked at Fu Bi's expression, wondering how his father would react to Zhang Yue's remonstrance, but saw Fu Bi caressing his beard and saying: "This son can take the seat!"

Fu Shaoting didn't hesitate for a moment, and signaled to the servants in the audience.

Two Fufu servants lifted a high-backed chair from outside the door, one on the left and one on the right, and placed it next to Fu Bi in the hall.

Everyone at the scene swallowed unconsciously when they saw this chair.

Sit down with today's prime minister?
Fu Bi didn't let Zhang Yue sit down, but said: "Although you said you didn't dare to speak, you still did. You said that the old man was completely wrong, but this statement is not for the right time."

Zhang Yue said: "people in the mountains, forests, and wild places don't know the taboos of friends, so there is nothing to hide in their words. Although what I say below is not extraordinary, it comes from the bottom of my heart."

Fu Bi said: "The old man knows it. The old man wants to listen to his words, but he doesn't want to listen to his words alone, but wants to follow his way."

Zhang Yue said: "Zi said, the Tao is difficult to follow, and the Tao is not good. I know it: those who know will pass it; .”

Fu Bi looked at Zhang Yue and nodded slowly, got up and stroked the back of the chair and said, "When Zhang Duzhi arrives for the palace examination, I will read your article again."

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he turned and left, and everyone present hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhang Yue watched Fu Bi leave.

What does Fu Bi's last sentence mean?
Ps: Zhang Yue's answer comes from Su Zhe's "Shangzhaowen Fuxiang Gongshu", which is simplified and whitened.

Shorter today, longer tomorrow.
