Fang Jifan thought about it in his heart and said to Ouyang Zhi: "Oh, I never thought that Yang Yiqing had actually gotten up again from a minor official. It would be really not easy. In this way, he should really thank me. If I hadn't knocked him over to the ground with a slap and taught him that he would almost never turn over, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such an opportunity."

Ouyang Zhi couldn't answer for a moment: "..."

To be honest, Ouyang Zhi doesn't quite agree with his mentor's words.

You can't kill someone's father just because you killed someone's father, but his son worked hard. Because he lost his father, he hanged his head and stabbed his thighs and became a high-ranking official. People should thank you for killing your father.

This is the logic of the robber.

This kind of thinking is undesirable.

Of course... Ouyang Zhi did not dare to refute his mentor, and he kept saying whatever his mentor said, so he just nodded: "This time, Yang Yiqing also arrived in Beijing. The student wrote a letter to His Majesty and mentioned him. His Majesty summoned him to the capital together, and I think there was a meaning of taking the teaching exam."

Fang Jifan was surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked seriously: "You will meet the saint tomorrow?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, and then he focused his attention: "Yes."

Fang Jifan yawned and then said lightly: "Then, I am afraid that I will go with you tomorrow. Next, I don't know how Your Majesty arranges you. You are now a chief official and have made great contributions. You are very anxious about your future. You are not young anymore. You can't take a wrong step in this career."

Ouyang Zhi was moved.

My mentor is really closer than my own father. It is my lifelong blessing to meet my mentor.

His eyes couldn't help but blur.

After all, he is a sentimental person.

Even if he became a rank-in-law official outside and was alone, he had already developed a heart of iron, but when he got here, he was still in tears.

Fang Jifan comforted him and told him not to cry. Even if he wanted to cry, he would still hold his tears and go to the emperor to cry.

Your Majesty is the most soft-hearted and has made great contributions. Once you cry, the images of loyal and capable ministers will all come out. Are you still afraid that you will not be successful in the future?

There was nothing to say that day.

Early the next morning, Fang Jifan brought Ouyang Zhi into the meeting.

Outside Fengtian Palace, Fang Jifan met Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing is still the same.

Anyway, they are all old bones, and in Fang Jifan's eyes, there is no difference.

When Yang Yiqing saw Fang Jifan, his mind was extremely complicated.

At the beginning, he wanted to crack down on new school and went to Tongzhou resolutely.

But... when the actual people's sentiment in Tongzhou was exposed to him naked, he was shocked.

No matter what, he could not imagine that the people under his control would go to Baoding like refugees. Countless people regarded themselves as jackals, and almost anyone was like a knife cutting his heart.

Yang Yiqing was conceited at the beginning. The more he was conceited, the more he suffered, the more he suffered. It can be said that his knowledge throughout his life was subverted.

He couldn't accept it at all.

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty was furious and demoted him to a minor official. He was first confused, but slowly, when he looked at the world with the eyes of a minor official, the people and things around him, and then thought about the science and the new academic time, he suddenly began to shake.

He began to slowly absorb these new things and new knowledge, first deep in his heart and resistance, but later, he was able to entertain merchants like other minor officials, and even talk about the views on the wealth of the country with others. He also began to pick up the journal of Qiusuo, read the articles in the journal of Qiusuo, and then began to think about the world.

He became more and more capable, from a minor official to a minister, and then a dictator, a county magistrate and a general magistrate.

The encounters in life are really strange.

At that time, he was the one who defended his fame and honor in the imperial examination.

But when he became a minor official, he became the biggest beneficiary of choosing an official as an official. If he had not selected an official as an official, I am afraid that he would not have any future to make a name for himself now.

After Yang Yiqing was silent, he saluted Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan stood straight and accepted Dalala, feeling no embarrassment or inappropriate.

Yang Yiqing said respectfully: "Duke of Qi..."

"Well." Fang Jifan nodded ambiguously and his eyes fell on him.

"Thank you." Yang Yiqing said sincerely, it can be said that he was sincerely grateful.

Fang Jifan was happy, blinked at Ouyang Zhi, and smiled and said, "Look, sure enough, he should thank him as his teacher."

Ouyang Zhi: “…”

Well, Ouyang Zhi is already used to it.

I have never seen any storms.

So, he had no expression on his face.

Fang Jifan patted Yang Yiqing on the shoulder: "No need to thank you. It's not in vain to see you betray you'll be able to return to the wrong path. Someone who did good deeds has never asked for anything in return. If you thank you, you'll be too disgusting. I heard that you also taught Ouyang Zhi a lot of knowledge. In this way, do you regard him as a good teacher and friend? This is even better. I'll be a family in the future. If you don't mind, call me a master."

“…”

Yang Yiqing fell into silence.

To be honest, I really can't speak for myself at this age.

I am also shameless.

But……

He sighed deeply.

To be honest, what he is thinking about now is not a new learning? With Ouyang Zhi, he has indeed learned a lot. Although he has not become a master or a master, he has already become a master or a disciple.

He looked at the happy Fang Jifan.

After paying a visit, he bowed: "What students learn from Mr. Ouyang, students, and rotten wood. If it weren't for Mr. Ouyang's advice, why would the Duke of Qi be bowed to him today?"

Fang Jifan waved his hand and smiled carelessly, "Get up, I'm just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Yang Yiqing: “…”

To be honest, if Yang Yiqing had the temper back then, he would have wanted to chop Fang Jifan to the ground. After all, Yang Yiqing had managed Ma Zheng, led his troops, passed the customs, and cut people in the desert.

My teacher’s courtesy is fine, are you just talking about jokes now?

Do you think I am a public toilet in the new city? Come whenever you want, and leave whenever you want?

He took a deep breath.

Becoming a minor official gave him a new temper and a new beginning in his life. Therefore, he had no temper at all at this moment and still had a gentle face: "This is not a joke, but it is a last word for the students. Master, please do not mind it."

Fang Jifan said oh.

But at this time, an eunuch came out.

"Your Majesty..."

"knew."

Fang Jifan responded and took the lead in entering the hall.

Ouyang Zhi and Yang Yiqing did not dare to neglect and followed Fang Jifan in one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi sipped tea and sat on the imperial chair. He was quite excited when he heard that Ouyang Zhi was coming.

It is really not easy for the king and his subject to get along.

What's more, Ouyang Zhijiu was in Baoding Prefecture. Although he was not far from the capital, he was in Baoding for a long time. Why was Emperor Hongzhi the same?

Now Ouyang Zhi has made great contributions to the court, which is even more rare.

If Ouyang Zhi had not opened up the overall situation of the new policy in Baoding Prefecture, Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to understand the direction of the future.

It should be noted that any knowledge, or the theory of governing the country and pacifying the world, needs practical governance to reflect each other. After all, theories need to be combined with reality. As Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism at the beginning, he also needed a model for Confucian governance of the world, such as strengthening the collective, implementing measures such as leveling, equalizing, calculating, and reporting chariots to curb tyrants, and so on.

Ouyang Zhi provided a model for the world and announced to the whole world that the new learning and new policies would work.

The three of them came in, and Fang Jifan and Yang Yiqing had already bowed to him.

Ouyang Zhi looked confused, but he was still standing.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw this familiar face and the familiar calm and calm expression that was no longer familiar, his eyes suddenly became wet.

He suddenly stood up.

Opposite Ouyang Zhi's four eyes.

Thinking back to the beginning, he still remembered that in the hall, someone assassinated him, and Ouyang Zhi was blocking his own hands.

The past events seemed to pass by Emperor Hongzhi's mind.

Ouyang Zhi then realized that he was going to bow and prepare to give a big gift.

"Ouyang Qing's family, you don't have to be too polite." Emperor Hongzhi got off the golden hall and walked quickly to Ouyang Zhi, helped Ouyang Zhi up, and looked at him.

Ouyang Qing's family is still the same, and they are not afraid of honor and disgrace.

Haha, where is my son’s house?

Emperor Hongzhi's excited face turned red, his eyes were moist, and he supported Ouyang Zhi's arms: "I heard that the Qing family arrived last evening. I was going to see him, but I also thought that the Qing family had come all the way. I thought it would be hard to come here, so I let you rest for a night. Haha, you are thinner than before. Look at your temples, like me, are whiter."

Ouyang Zhi: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi was used to Ouyang Zhi's silent appearance.
