The official residences in Guizhou are built close to mountains and rivers. They are not luxurious but extremely elegant.

The same is true for Guizhou Jiedu Magistrate Huang Huan's hut. In front of the hut, there are some bamboos and flowers and plants. There is a small cobblestone path between the bamboos. After passing a bamboo table, you can enter the cool house.

The layout of the house is extremely simple, yet elegant in its simplicity. The house is made of bamboo, and you can smell the fragrance of bamboo as soon as you enter. There are also coir raincoats and hats with dewdrops hanging on the walls.

It's dusk, and through the window of the hut, you can see the hazy distant mountains. The distant mountains are covered with a layer of light veil, and the shadows are vague. In the misty clouds and smoke, they are far and near, almost as if they are far away, like a few strokes of light ink, smeared on the

The blue sky.

"Siniang, please buy me two more kilograms of wine." The sky was already darkening, but Huang Huan and Li Sanjian and others were having a serious conversation, so Huang Huan told his Hun family.

Huang Huan's wife responded and went to prepare.

"Han Ren, let me ask you, what is a king? What is a minister?" Huang Huan then asked Li Sanjian.

"The monarch is the master of living things and the sect of prosperity; the minister is the minister of human beings, who are subordinate to the king and his assistant. The king is the head of state, and the ministers are the joints and subordinates, supporting each other." Li Sanjian was stunned for a moment and then answered.

road.

It has been almost seven years since Li Sanjian came to this world, and he has read a lot of books. How come he doesn’t know what a king is and what a minister is? What Li Sanjian doesn’t understand is why Huang Huan asked this? What does this have to do with his current situation?

Knowing that so far, Li Sanjian is still a white man, a subject and a subject. Li Sanjian can only be regarded as a citizen, not a minister.

"There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the earth, there are no two masters in the family, and there are no two superiors." Huang Huan nodded and said: "As a king, you must always consider the country, the country, the country, the country, the country, and the country.

, do you understand?”

Li Sanjian shook his head when he heard this. Huang Huan only spoke half of what he said. How could Li Sanjian know what he meant?

"A king always taboos the power of powerful ministers." Huang Huan sighed, waved his hand to Li Sanjian and said, "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Li Sanjian walked up to Huang Huan in confusion.

Huang Huan then dipped his finger in some wine and wrote the words "divide and conquer" on the wooden table in front of him.

"Do you understand now?" After Huang Huan asked, he erased the words on the table with his sleeve.

Divide and conquer? At this time, Li Sanjian finally understood what Huang Huan meant.

As an emperor, what he cares most about is his throne and whether his throne is stable. Compared with that, everything else is secondary.

The emperor could allow his ministers to fight with each other, criticize each other, and even fight to the death, with rivers of blood flowing, without caring. Some emperors even encouraged and condoned this behavior. Ministers fought with each other, so that they could rely on the emperor.

In this way, the emperor can mediate in the middle, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and be in an invincible position, and the family, country and world can be as stable as Mount Tai.

If the ministers below are united sincerely, like an iron plate, then the emperor will feel fear and try his best to prevent this from happening.

This is the fundamental reason for the constant party strife in the past dynasties, because there is the support of the emperor behind it.

After being reminded by Huang Huan, Li Sanjian probably understood this truth, so Li Sanjian nodded and said: "The professor's words are like enlightenment. The students probably understand, but...but what does this matter have to do with the students?

"

Li Sanjian stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for three years. After three cold winters, his head seemed to be frozen, and he could not turn around for a while...

"Haha" Huang Huan heard this and said with a smile: "The reason why you were demoted this time is simply because of the current prime minister. The situation in the court is unpredictable. Who dares to guarantee that his position will be permanent?"

"The professor's words are like gold, and the students will be taught by them." Li Sanjian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly stood up and gave a heavy salute.

What Huang Huan said was so right, Li Sanjian thought to himself, although Huang Huan was far away in a remote place in the south of Lingnan, he seemed to have a pair of clairvoyance and saw the political situation of the court clearly and clearly.

Zhang Dun had been in power for a long time. Although he was cautious and walked on thin ice, how could the emperor trust him to be in power for a long time?

Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu respected Wang Anshi so much and relied on him, but he still pushed Wang Anshi up and down three times, ebbing and flowing, reminding Wang Anshi from time to time to let Wang Anshi understand who was the real ruler of the Song Dynasty. , who is the real master.

If Zhang Dun leaves the throne, or even the Yuanfeng Party members lose their favor, and the Yuanyou Party members come to power, then Li Sanjian's matter will no longer be a problem, and Li Sanjian's "dark lights" may be just around the corner.

Li Sanjian's articles were somewhat influenced by Su Shi, and he was somewhat sympathetic to Yuanyou's people.

But when will Zhang Dun leave the throne, and when will Li Sanjian be able to "see the light"? These are all unknowns. When Li Sanjian thought of this, he became very distressed.

"Professor Huang, the student has been thinking about something for several years. He has always wanted to do it, but has never had the chance. This matter is related to the professor. Today the student returned to Guizhou and asked the professor to agree to the student's permission."

"What's the matter? John Ren, please tell me." Huang Huan nodded.

"A few years ago, the student was extremely stubborn and was just a boy who had just entered school. Later, he came to Lingshan County, Qinzhou, studied at the county school, and was taught by Huang Gong. Huang Gong's kindness in cultivating students will never be forgotten. Today, students want to worship Huang. As your master, how about you not being as good as Huang Gong?" Li Sanjian paused for a moment and then said slowly.

Su Shi used to be Li Sanjian's master, but Su Shi had already expelled Li Sanjian from his master. If not, Li Sanjian would not have dared to ask Huang Huan to be his master at this time.

Once a teacher is a lifelong father, a person can have many teachers in his life, but the subsequent masters cannot be compared with the first mentor. The subsequent masters can only serve as teachers.

If Su Shi did not fire Li Sanjian, then no matter where Li Sanjian went, he would always be from Su Shi's family, and he would have to say so when introducing himself.

But now that Li Sanjian has been expelled from the school by Su Shi, Li Sanjian is actually in a state of being homeless. Although Huang Huan was once Li Sanjian's professor at the county school, the relationship between the two is that of teacher and student. But after all, Li Sanjian did not undergo a formal apprenticeship ceremony, so he cannot be said to have come from Huang Huan's family.

Huang Huan was very knowledgeable and his talents were not inferior to Su Shi's. The most important thing was that Huang Huan had been extremely caring and caring for Li Sanjian for a long time and cared about Li Sanjian's every move. How could Li Sanjian not understand this? When Li Sanjian was moved, he sincerely He sincerely proposed that he would like to become Huang Huan's teacher and continue to listen to Huang Huan's teachings.

"Shut up!" Huang Huan was furious when he heard this, pointed at Li Sanjian and shouted: "Is it true that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father?"

Have you forgotten? You have already worshiped Mr. Dongpo as your teacher, how can you do it again at this time? There are no two masters in the family, and no two superiors! Even if Mr. Dongpo expels you from the school, you cannot do this.

Act of?"

Huang Huan also knew about Li Sanjian's situation, and Huang Huan also felt a little sorry for it. However, Su Shi was Li Sanjian's first mentor after all. Therefore, no matter what, Li Sanjian could not rashly worship others as his teacher. This was

The most basic etiquette in this world.

Li Sanjian was shocked when he heard this. It was obvious that Su Shi no longer wanted him, so why did he turn to another place to be a refutation? Li Sanjian couldn't understand when he saw this.

Li Sanjian is still a little confused about the etiquette in this world.

Li Sanjian stood there, in a dilemma and embarrassed.

After a while, Huang Huan couldn't bear it. Wen Yan said to Li Sanjian: "You go back first. The test will be conducted in five days. Go back and prepare."

........

"Brother Han Ren, you don't have to worry too much. I guess Professor Huang is doing it for your own good and thinking about you." Zeng Gongming and Li Sanjian walked side by side to Huang Huan's residence immediately. Seeing Li Sanjian's gloomy look, he advised.

.

"Huh? What do you think Dong Lin said?" Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this.

When his hot face was suddenly pressed against his cold ass, Li Sanjian was embarrassed. At the same time, he felt a trace of resentment towards Huang Huan. Li Sanjian regretted that he had rashly asked to worship Huang Huan. It would be extremely serious if this matter spread out.

A shameful thing.

"Hey, what do you want to do when you return to Guizhou?" Zeng Gongming sighed.

"I'm taking the exam, what else can I do?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"Yes, I am applying for the exam, but do you know what official position Professor Huang currently holds?" Zeng Gongming asked after hearing this.

"Professor, isn't he the judge of Guizhou Jiedu? I already know about this, what's wrong? What does this matter have to do with Professor's official position?" Li Sanjian stopped, turned to look at Zeng Gongming and asked.

"The examination for Guangnan West Road was held in Guizhou. The Guizhou government presided over the matter. The examiners were all selected by the Guizhou government. As the judge of Guizhou Jiedu, Professor Huang is very likely to be responsible for this examination.

Examiner, Brother Han Ren, do you understand now?" Zeng Gongming said with a slight smile.

Li Sanjian was stunned when he heard this and stayed there for a long time without saying anything.

Zeng Gongming said this, why doesn't Li Sanjian understand?

The Song Dynasty tribute examination system had a system of "biotou examination". The so-called "biotou examination" was a system of avoidance, which was to limit the privileges of bureaucrats and gentry children in taking the examination. In order to demonstrate the fairness and impartiality of the tribute examination, the Song Dynasty stipulated the food salary

When the children of the family take the imperial examination, they must take additional exams and re-examinations. When the examiner's nephews, relatives, and disciples take the exam, they should set up a separate examination room and assign separate examiners, that is, "biotou examination."

In other words, if Li Sanjian worships Huang Huan as his teacher, not only will Li Sanjian be unable to continue taking the exam in Guizhou, but even Huang Huan will not be able to serve as the examiner for this exam.

Li Sanjian misunderstood Huang Huan's protectiveness, which made Li Sanjian feel ashamed...

"Brother Han Ren, why are you so dazed? Let's go and have a drink with me." Seeing Li Sanjian's distracted look, Zeng Gongming suddenly felt funny, so he pulled Li Sanjian's sleeve and said.
