Relaxed and happy time is always short-lived. After the first month of the busy life, Ye An continued his duties as a supervisor of the Imperial City Department and gave advice to the emperor by the way. His official title also changed from Tianzhang Pavilion Minister System to Tianzhang Pavilion Minister System.
A direct bachelor of Zhangge, leaping through two ranks to become a high-ranking official of the third rank, complete with purple robe and gold fish bag.
To have such an identity at the age of twenty-seven is almost an unprecedented honor since the founding of the Song Dynasty. However, under this honor, there is also unprecedented pressure.
Zhao Zhen gave Ye An such a high official to silence him, because this official used imperial skills to transfer Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng back and reinstate them in their posts.
Needless to say, the next step was to transfer Fan Zhongyan and others who had previously prepared to remonstrate with them back to Tokyo City, intending to reuse them. After the abolition, it was as if the turmoil had not happened, and Ye An was taught a solid lesson.
Ye An had no choice but to lament that this was a stab in the back from someone other than the emperor. Lu Yijian was in great glory when he came back, and he felt like "Hu Hansan" was back again, throwing a big banquet at home in the name of celebrating his birthday.
The members of his subordinates who had been scattered all over again came to join his sect again, and some even flocked to him.
This is not a good thing for Ye An. The reason why Lu Yijian is so grand is to show his prestige. This is his political strength and wants more people to believe that he will not fall.
However, Ye An didn't care at all. He looked at the post handed over by the steward of Lu Mansion with a smile and politely took it: "Go back and tell Prime Minister Lu that Ye will definitely be there."
I never expected him to have such a plain attitude. The manager of the Lu Mansion nodded and said with a half-smile, "I know this, so I will go back and recover."
The steward of the Lu Mansion got on the carriage and left slowly. Chen Lin came to Ye An like a ghost and said, "Lu Yijian is trying to beat you! If there is no good banquet, it may lead to a disaster!"
Ye An smiled slightly: "I don't think so. Others think this is a demonstration. Unfortunately, who knows the fear and worry in his heart? Officials can remove his prime minister so easily, and can also restore his prime minister so casually.
What does this mean?"
Chen Lin answered without thinking: "Of course it means that the official family is the master of the world..."
"That's right!" Ye An interrupted him before he could finish his sentence: "The officials are the masters of the world. Not to mention thunder, rain and dew, life and death are all in the hands of the officials, so what Lu Yijian is really afraid of is the hands of the officials.
His high-profile gesture was to show the officials that he had the right to do so. Don’t forget how he was dismissed as prime minister. The officials’ dismissal as prime minister was a warning to him. To worship him again would be to show both kindness and power. Lu Yijian’s collusion with Yan Wenying has already been
Sit down and go out is the punishment you deserve. I want to ease the relationship with you during this banquet, which is what the officials want to see."
Chen Lin looked at Ye An in surprise, looked up and down for a long time before saying: "How did you know this? Aren't you unwilling to participate in the court affairs? How come you know so much about those political methods?"
"Some people are born knowing it."
Ye An made a haha and explained it in one stroke. Chen Lin would never have thought that her teacher had used three lectures to talk about the game methods of ancient politicians, and thoroughly analyzed the political wisdom and imperial power of the ancients.
Again, Ye An's height is different from theirs. He once stood in a higher dimension and looked down on all of this.
Qin Mumu asked Ye An to pick a gift at random and set off. This kind of invitation should be delivered in advance, but Ye An's post was obviously sent by Lu Yijian on the spur of the moment.
When I arrived at the gate of Lu's Mansion, I saw the birthday Duke Lu Yijian, dressed in red, standing on the steps to greet the guests in person. His attitude was kind and there was no airs like the father-in-law.
After Ye An got out of the car, he stepped forward, folded his hands and bowed, saying, "Mr. Lu, I will be strong and prosperous, may you live a long and healthy life!"
Lu Yijian enthusiastically took Ye An's arm and said: "I am very pleased to be able to live forever. Today you and I should have a few more drinks! Among the young talents, you are the one I am most optimistic about! Uncle Hui, come quickly. , this is Ye An Ye Changsheng, known as "Ye Lang"!"
I don't know when the title "Ye Lang" has changed from a mockery of Ye An to a compliment to him. The phrase "There is Ye Lang in the northwest, and the enemies are in panic" has become Ye An's signature.
When the young man with a square face came over, Lu Yi introduced simply and enthusiastically: "This is the work of Mr. Quanzi. You admire Immortality very much!"
Written by Lu Gong?! Ye An looked at the young man who was staring at him curiously and was in a daze for a moment. Although this man's political achievements were good, his academic achievements were too high.
Of course, he is more famous for his opposition to Wang Anshi's "Green Crops Law". In front of Song Shenzong, he criticized Lao Wang's "Green Crops Law" as useless. Lao Wang was so angry that he was almost sent away on the spot. It was a real physical send-off. Walk……
"Xiangong Lu has said it before, how can Ye An and He De be admired by such a young talent? He just did something within his power. If the young master had had the opportunity like me, he might have already distinguished himself and showed his talents in the court. !”
Lu Gong was proud of his heart, crossed his hands and saluted: "Yehou praised so much that Uncle Hui cannot bear it! I heard that Yehou has done a lot of research and analysis on the study of objects. I wonder if I can tell Wansheng about it?"
Anyone who is interested in learning will be interested in the study of things. This is not because of the appeal of the study of things, but because there is too little understanding of the study of things in Confucianism.
Ye An smiled slightly and said to Lu Yijian: "Ms. Lu, Ye An took the first step and didn't dare to disturb you."
Lu Yijian raised her hand with a smile: "Please Changsheng, Uncle Hui will be with you!"
Lu Gongzhu was really interested in the study of objects. He kept asking questions on the way to the banquet hall, and even said to Ye An: "When I was in Yingzhou, I met a good friend named Ouyang Xiu. He highly praised the study of objects, such as Now I am back to Tokyo to be awarded the title of Xuandelang and be appointed as the editor of the pavilion."
The corner of Ye An's mouth twitched, hey, this is a high-ranking disciple! At such an age, he has become good friends with Ouyang Xiu, and he has never even seen Ouyang Xiu a few times... He is really jealous.
However, I really didn't expect that Ouyang Xiu admired Ye An for the study of objects. Come to think of it, this is the thing that this guy always uses the most, and he hates the tedious and dross.
"Uncle Ouyang Yong is very talented. I have heard his name many times in the palace. He is dissatisfied with the humble and formal style of parallel prose. Instead, he relies on his rich knowledge to imitate the ancients of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, trying to break the outdated style of writing, promote "ancient prose", and realize He is a new talent in the literary world! It is not difficult to see that he is a practical person by attaching so much importance to the study of things."
Lu Gongzhu looked at Ye An blankly, and then his eyes flashed like stars, and he grabbed him and said: "Ye Hou is really a close friend! Many officials in the government are discussing whether the study of objects can be independent of Confucianism, especially This is Du Fuzi's "Lun on Observation of Things" published in the Tokyo Morning Post: He who studies things knows the principles of heaven and earth! It is not born from the mind, but is real. Everything can be taken from it. If you are as careful as your hair and bend down to observe, you will find the mystery. Infinite! This is a wonderful statement!"
Ye An did not expect that Gewu Studies would have developed like this. It seemed that he had not cared about the Gewu Academy in Puhuizhuang for a long time. Especially after the Gewu Academy was opened in the northwest, he was not interested in the Gewu Academy outside Tokyo.
, I didn’t expect that Du Fuzi and others had made such great progress in theory, and even attracted the attention of young officials.
Ye An was "unprepared" for such a bold idea to think of making Gewu Xue independent of Confucianism!
