Chapter 243 Four Family Slaves
In the Taiji Palace in spring, there are willows and willows, and a hundred flowers are blooming.
It seems that the layers of palaces have lost the oppressive depths of the past, and have become more bright and clear.
It's just that Fang Jun's mood is really not very good.
Now that I hold two jobs, I am afraid that there will be very little free time in the future.While he was still recovering, he organized the artisans at home to reopen the iron-smelting furnace, but was summoned by His Majesty Li Er, who had to write down the steel-making process he knew, so that the artisans could prepare in advance, and he hurried into the iron-making furnace. Gong Lai was full of slander.
It's an edict and a summons, your idleness doesn't mean that others are idle too, and I don't know what this His Majesty is up to...
The place His Majesty summoned this time was not the Tai Chi Hall, nor the Shenlong Hall, but behind the Shenlong Hall, beside the Thousand Steps Corridor, near the Shanshuichi Pavilion of the East Palace.
The thousand-step corridor is where Fang Jun entered the palace for the first time after crossing, met Princess Gaoyang by chance, and said "You want to pamper me".
At this time of spring and Jingming, the hot springs under the corridor are bubbling, and there is no trace of steam, so it cannot be seen that this is a hot spring.
There is a small pool by the corridor, the more flowers fall on the water, the clearer the water is, melting and swaying, twists and turns.There are two rows of weeping willows by the pool, mixed with peaches and apricots, covering the sky and the sun.Walk up a few steps along the thousand-step corridor, and suddenly there is another slab bridge with red railings exposed in the shade of willows. After crossing the bridge, all roads can pass, and you will see a cool tile house, with brick walls polished by water, clear and clear. Tile flower plug.
The servant led Fang Jun into a main room with a wide-open door and carved beams and paintings, and retreated.
His Majesty Li Er was sitting on a wooden stool, in front of him was a large desk, and he was concentrating on something.Seeing Fang Jun coming in and bowing to salute, he waved his hands casually and said, "Let's stand aside, I have something more to say with Ouyang Shuit."
Fang Jun responded obediently: "No!" He walked aside and looked at the old man standing beside His Majesty Li Er.
This old man, how can I say... Ugly!
Surprisingly ugly!
Five short stature, as thin as a bamboo pole, dark face, sharp mouth monkey cheeks.
The shoulders are slightly raised, almost clamping the slender head, the back is slightly bent, the arms are as long as the knees, the whole person looks like an ape...
This is too ugly!
Ouyang rate change?
I haven't heard of it, but...he remembered a famous person.
Ouyang Xun!
According to historical records, Ouyang Xun was "a ugly ugly man, but a man of great sensitivity and understanding", which means, "I am ugly, but I am very smart"...
It is said that Changsun Wuji saw Ouyang Xun's ugly posture at the beginning, and laughed at him: "Shrug your arms into a mountain character, and bury your shoulders in fear of showing your head. Who said that on the Lin Pavilion, draw this monkey." The crotch is full of fear of the cold in the belly. It is only because the heart is messy, so the dough is lumpy." His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile: "Are you not afraid of the queen's evil smell when you ask this ridicule?"
Judging from this person's appearance, it is estimated that he is Ouyang Xun, one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty".
For these two doggerel poems, Fang Jun raised his hands in favor, it's so frightfully appropriate...
Probably seeing Fang Jun's strange expression, Ouyang Xun asked with a smile: "Do you think that XX is ugly?"
If it were someone else, they would probably quickly deny it, and then say a few good words. You can't laugh at other people's shortcomings in front of you, right?
But Fang Jun didn't!
The guy nodded and said with a righteous face: "Yes!"
Decisive and decisive, righteous and awe-inspiring!
Ouyang Xun didn't expect such a person to exist, so he choked for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while, it was really surprising...
His Majesty Li Er shook his head speechlessly, and said to Ouyang Xun: "Don't pay attention to him, this man is just a stick, the kind who won't pay for his life if he is angry!"
Fang Junxin said that His Majesty Li Er is indeed a bosom friend...
Then Ouyang Xun rolled his eyes, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Erlang of the Fang family is both civil and military. With everyone's demeanor, my villain Zhou Fu has boasted to you in front of someone more than once. How about it, do you want to show your majesty and this old man?"
Fang Jun was a little displeased, do you think I'm a busker?
And show off...
Then he showed a mouthful of white teeth, showing a pure smile that is harmless to humans and animals: "How dare, how dare, with an old senior like you who has rich experience and has gone through all kinds of disasters but has cultivated a positive result, how can the younger generation dare to fight against others?"
When he spoke, he smiled innocently, really like a student's humble attitude in front of the teacher, but when he said the sentence "experience is rich, he has gone through all kinds of disasters but he has cultivated a positive result", but he intentionally emphasized his tone, which meant a lot. It's intriguing...
Why?
This has to talk about Ouyang Xun's life.
Ouyang Xun's life, regardless of his literary achievements, is already a legend.
Ouyang Xun's father, Ouyang He, joined the army at the age of 20. He was brave and good at fighting. Later, his son inherited his father's career and served as the governor of Jiao, Guang and other nineteen prefectures' military forces, and the governor of Guangzhou.Emperor Chen Xuan worshiped him as General Zuowei because of his suspicion.
Ouyang He rebelled against Guangzhou. In the spring of the second year, he was defeated and captured. Only Ouyang Xun was exempted because he escaped from his family, and the rest were all killed.At this time, Ouyang Xun was only 13 years old. Two months later, the Empress Dowager passed away and gave amnesty to the world. As a result, Ouyang Xun escaped death and was adopted by his father's former friend Mr. Jiang.
During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Ouyang Xun served as Doctor Taichang; Yu Wenhuaji claimed to be the Son of Heaven in Yangzhou, and Ouyang Xun was also captured by him as a courtier; Dou Jiande broke through Liaocheng, and Ouyang Xun was retained by Xia Guo and awarded the post of Taichang Qing; at that time, he was still the King of Qin His Majesty Li Er defeated Dou Jiande in Hulao and pacified Hebei. Ouyang Xun escaped from death again. Later, because of his close friendship with Gaozu Li Yuan in the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the post of servant. He was 65 years old at the time.
Time and time again he narrowly escaped death, time and time again turned dangers into good fortunes, and finally, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he became a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, Shizhong, Prince Gengling, a bachelor of Hongwenguan, and was granted the title of male of Bohai County.
Inexplicably, Fang Jun thought of another big man who was well-known throughout the ages——Lu Bu!
Zhang Sanye called Lu Bu a "family slave of the three surnames", but he wondered if the third master saw Ouyang Xun through time travel, wouldn't he be able to count them with his fingers?Fortunately, it is said that Mr. Zhang is actually a cultural person, and his arithmetic is not bad, so he won't make a mistake...
No matter how high a literary achievement such a lackadaisical minister has, he will not be admired by people like Fang Jun.
He would respect the dog butchers who died righteously when a country was in crisis...
Sure enough, no matter how well-mannered Ouyang Xun was, he couldn't help but change his complexion. On that face with sunken cheeks and raised cheekbones, the muscles twitched violently, a bit ferocious.
His Majesty Li Er has already categorically shouted: "Bold! How can you be so ignorant of elders and ignorant of dignity?"
Fang Jun quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "No! I know my mistake, but... Your Majesty, I have no crimes against elders. I am willing to accept it and dare not quibble; but it is a crime of ignorance of dignity. Please forgive me for not being able to accept it. For honors, my minister is a marquis, and senior Ouyang is just a baron. In terms of official position, my minister is a servant of the third-rank Ministry of Industry and a young supervisor of military weapons, while senior Ouyang is only a bachelor of the fifth-rank Hongwen Museum. Your Majesty. But since I came into the palace, Senior Ouyang has not greeted you, so I think that this crime of ignorance of dignity should be sent to Senior Ouyang by Your Majesty. Of course, this minister is just discussing the matter, not Senior Ouyang. Give the humble official the gift of being an official..."
His Majesty Li Er covered his forehead, and he knew that this kid was not easy to take offense, but why did he find Ouyang Xun so unpleasant?
Ouyang Xun was dumbfounded and speechless.
What Fang Jun said is correct, everything makes sense, no matter the title or official position, he is inferior by more than one rank.
But my status is aloof, that is a well-educated Confucian who His Majesty often asks for advice, can you compare it with ordinary titles and official positions?
But since people have made a comparison, he can't refute it.
Since you are in the officialdom, you can't ignore the rules of superiority and inferiority in the officialdom, otherwise everyone will just compare their age and qualifications, how decent is it?
However, my heart is in a panic...
After standing in a daze for a while, Ouyang Xun's old face blushed, and he cupped his hands in a salute: "My subordinate Ouyang Xun, I have seen the servant of the house..."
"Oh, I told you I didn't want you to salute..." After Ouyang Xun bent down, Fang Jun jumped over and grabbed Ouyang Xun's hand, smiling brightly: " You are insulting me! What is your identity, what status? How can you judge by the rank and official position, you are a senior, and you are a role model for us younger generations... Hurry up, please hurry up!"
Ouyang Xun is so depressed, he didn't say this a long time ago, and he didn't say it until I finished saluting?
Isn't it just teasing you, as for hitting me in the face so hard?Why is this kid so bad...
