Sun Qilang went to meet the account, and a few people left the restaurant and walked along the river towards the inn. ▲∴

At this time, the lights were on, and people were enjoying the cool air everywhere by the river, and hawkers of all kinds were interspersed in it, which was very lively.

Xu Ping looked at the familiar scenery and felt emotion. After a long time, he finally came back.

Xu Ping had no answer to whether it was better to be a capital city or a Yongzhou city, but since he came to this world, he grew up near Kaifeng and had a different relationship, which seemed to be his hometown.

And is there any better place in the world than my hometown?

There is a moon in the sky that is round and bright, hanging high above the head, sprinkling silver light. Under the bustling moonlight, people are taking their families and enjoying this peaceful life. In the secluded place, they are not sure which family is lying on each other and whispering.

I haven't seen such a scene for a long time, and Xu Ping's heart flew to Kaifeng City.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the entrance of the inn. Gao Daquan suddenly said, "Hey, why are there someone walking around there?"

Everyone looked at each other, and with the moonlight, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties at the entrance of the inn, wearing a used long gown that was not old, and was walking around the door like a mill pushing a mill. He was holding something in his hand and talking to himself.

Everyone was curious and walked forward together. Gao Daquan was afraid of something unexpected, so he handed the lacquerware in his hand to Sun Qilang, walked in front of him, and tensed his nerves.

Not far from the door, the post guard at the gate saw it and whispered from a distance, saying loudly: "Officer Xu, this official said he was coming to pay homage to you, and he has been waiting until now."

Xu Ping responded, curious in his heart that he had no familiarity with others in Xiangzhou.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard the postman's words. He hurried over and was stopped by Gao Daquan: "Officials are surnamed Gao? What's the important thing to find my official?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly pulled his clothes, took a breath and made up his demeanor, and said to Gao Daquan: "In the low-level Hu Quanmin, his father's secretary-general retired from his surname Hu Huidan. He was ordered by his father to send a message to Xu Guanren."

Xu Ping breathed out a sigh of relief, but forgot. Hu Dan, the top scholar who had been forgotten by time, lived here. When he was demoted to the Tongzong of Xiangzhou, he mourned his parents. Soon after he was eliminated, he was blind. He retired as a junior supervisor in the Secretariat and later promoted to a secretary supervisor. Since then, he has been settled in Xiangzhou, and it has been many years.

Seeing Xu Ping nodding, Gao Daquan took Hu Quanmin's famous post and came over to Xu Ping.

The post is of poor paper, but it is thick and thick. Xu Ping opened it and saw it clearly through the moonlight. He saw that the post not only listed the senior officials Hu Dan had served as a former official, but also wrote the "Zhi Zhizhi" in large characters, but also listed the year and month of the top scorer when Hu Dan was the top scorer, and even the test questions at that time. What's more excessive is that it actually listed several of Hu Dan's proud works, such as "Han and Spring and Autumn", and even the comments of the emperor at that time were listed.

This is not a famous post for worshipping others. Is it clearly a resume in your life?

The same secretary-general retired, Ding Wei’s famous post was simple. But anyone who saw him had to call him husband. The former Zhuangyuan Hu wanted to include all the proud things in his life, but no matter how complimented he was, he would just call him "Hu Dajian". This is different experiences and different demeanors. Ding Wei’s secretary-general was demoted again and again, while Hu Dan’s secretary-general was promoted after retiring.

After reading the famous post, Xu Ping sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, Xu Ping once heard a story. It was said that a scholar in ancient times was studying abroad and was entertained by a county magistrate. He wrote a poem, one of which was: "I can't get a dream after all the winter." This poem was seen by the county magistrate's son and joked about the scholar as "thirsty, sleeping and sweating". Soon, the scholar gave a letter to the county magistrate's son, "I'll be the top scholar when I'm thirsty, sleeping and sweating!" The county magistrate's son sneered: "When I get the second person next year, I will lose to you." The next year, it turned out to be the top scholar.

The story is of course absurd and becomes more bizarre in later generations, but it does make some sense. The scholar in the story is Lu Mengzheng and the son of the county magistrate is Hu Dan. The two may not have such a legendary story, but this story vividly illustrates the relationship between them.

Lu Meng was the top scorer in the second year of Taiping Xingguo, and it was the first time in Chinese history to recruit scholars to enroll in the imperial examinations. However, because Taizong urgently needed new civil servants to serve him, he still had no choice. In the name of fearing that there were sages in the wild, he ordered the candidate who had not passed the second year of Taiping Xingguo to take the exam again in the third year of Taiping Xingguo. Hu Dan was the top scorer in the third year of Taiping Xingguo, so the story is about the second person who passed the exam. Although he also won the top scorer, he was the top scorer in the second year of Lu Mengzheng.

Hu Dan himself did not participate in the imperial examination in the second year of Taiping Xingguo, but because his class was the re-examination of the last class, his reputation was naturally below Lu Mengzheng. I can't figure out whether it was due to the stimulation of this matter, and in addition, it was completely different from Lu Mengzheng's personality to political concepts, Hu Dan looked down on Lu Mengzheng all his life.

Hu Dan was extremely talented, enthusiastic about fame and fame, and enterprising, but he acted roughly and did not do things in detail. His articles were gorgeous and elegant, and he was naturally at ease in the two systems, but his ability to govern was shaken. He had no political achievements in the central government, nor did he have any political achievements in the local area, and his promotion was almost entirely based on a pen. However, Hu Dan did not think he was not good enough, and he considered himself the talent of the prime minister. He was just not lucky and devoted himself to the camp. The fierce party struggles of the Song Dynasty started to form a party in the same year when Hu Dan formed a party in the same year. In the capital, Hu Dan's party often planned at Zhao Changyan's home at night. The people in the capital called his party Chen Xiangyu "Chen Sanqian" and Dong Yan "Dong Midnight", and since then, the idiom "Midnight Midnight" was left for later generations.

The fact that the formation of a clique failed and was demoted from the court. Later, Hu Dan did not learn from his lessons and defected to Wang Ji'en again, and even got involved in the dispute over the dethronement of the crown prince. As a result, the speculation failed and he lost the opportunity for promotion from then on.

Before Hu Dan participated in the imperial examination, he once said: "If you should be elected, you should not be the top scholar, and if you are an official, you should not be the prime minister, you will be a life of vain."

As a result, in the end, he was the best at the position of the imperial edict, and was still a thousand miles away from the prime minister. Lu Mengzheng, whom he had always looked down upon, not only became the prime minister himself, but even his nephew Lu Yijian became the prime minister. He was still in Xiangzhou. In addition to his neighbors, the world had almost forgotten him.

After sighing for a long time, Xu Ping put away his name and said to Hu Quanmin, who was waiting beside him: "Domen Hu can afford to watch it, and he will come to visit him tomorrow if he has free time."

Hu Quanmin was filled with joy when he heard this: "Since that's the case, I will report back to my father and wait for the officials at home tomorrow."
