After Lu Yao sent Yan Shu away, Lu Xu called Lu Yao to the study and asked about what they had just said. Lu Yao had no intention of hiding it from Lu Xu, so he told Lu Xu about Wang Anshi's situation.
"Why don't you recommend Wang Anshi to the emperor yourself? Since he has such a great talent, if he is recommended by you, your career should be better." After listening to Lu Yao's explanation, Lu Xu felt that Wang Anshi was recommended.
If Lu Yao did it himself, he might be able to gain more.
Lu Yao said that there were two reasons why he did not recommend Wang Anshi in person. The first was that he made a big fuss in the prime minister's office at that time. Under such circumstances, it was actually very difficult for Yan Shu to go to the bank to participate in the opening event.
At that time, he did not want to tell Yan Shu the views he would express during the night banquet, so he finally chose to recommend Wang Anshi to Yan Shu. However, Lu Yao did not expect at that time that Yan Shu would directly investigate Wang Anshi after
Secretly invite Wang Anshi to Bianliang.
The second reason is more important, that is, Lu Yao does not want other officials in the DPRK to think that he is a very ambitious guy. If he comes forward to recommend Wang Anshi to the emperor, some ministers may think that Lu Yao is a man who serves the country and the country.
People who consider it will recommend them to the emperor when they see useful talents. However, some people will think that Lu Yao is actually forming a clique for personal gain in disguise. After all, Wang Anshi was recommended by Lu Yao. In the future, Wang Anshi will succeed and Lu Yao will
They will definitely use the opportunity to advance in their career. Moreover, they will also feel that Lu Yao recommended Wang Anshi because he was actually considering his own career.
Since you have decided to do it step by step, you shouldn't do this kind of thing yourself, at least you can't let other people decide. Well, it was Wang Anshi who I chose to recommend in order to advance further in his official career or gain a more stable position in the court.
.But Yan Shu does not have this problem. He is now the prime minister, so in the eyes of other ministers, the talents that Yan Shu can recommend must have something worthy of Yan Shu's recognition. Furthermore, not long after,
Now Yan Shu is about to retire from the position of prime minister, so the idea of forming a party for personal gain does not exist for him.
In addition, Wang Anshi didn't know much about the current situation in the court in Bianliang. If it were not Yan Shu, but someone else recommended him, it would be difficult for the emperor to think that Wang Anshi and the recommender were from the same party. In that case,
The emperor would not reuse Wang Anshi.
After some thought, Lu Yao finally chose Yan Shu as Wang Anshi's recommender, and he had already communicated with Yan Shu and Wang Anshi, so it would not be announced to the public that Wang Anshi was recommended by Lu Yao.
Lu Xu listened to Lu Yao's explanation and felt that it was reasonable. He fully affirmed his son's idea of playing things steadily, not joining any factions, and developing smoothly in the court.
Of course, Lu Yao would not tell Lu Xu that the reason why he chose Yan Shu to recommend Wang Anshi was, to a certain extent, based on historical development and Yan Shu's character and temperament.
Yan Shu himself was very powerful and was a well-known child prodigy. He was famous far and wide at the age of five. When he was seven, his poems were unrivaled in the county. When he was thirteen, he was even more impressive. He could utter lotus characters in pearls.
Even a prodigy has to go through publicity to become famous, so Xiao Yanshu met the first noble person in his life - his father-in-law Li Xuji.
Li Xuji was considered the secretary of the prefecture-level municipal party committee at the time. He took a fancy to Yan Shu and chose him as his son-in-law. He passed on his decades of poetry writing experience, especially the method of poetry phonology, to young Yan Shu.
Not to mention, Li Xuji used his personal connections to recruit literary giant Yang Yi to support his young son-in-law, which greatly improved Xiao Yanshu's popularity and reputation. Finally, Yan Shu got the opportunity to be personally interviewed by Song Zhenzong. Xiao Yanshu
After the article was written, Song Zhenzong was very happy and took another test two days later. This time, Xiao Yanshu frowned and seriously told the emperor that he had done this test question before, so he should change it.
Song Zhenzong was even happier. He liked honest people. But the prime minister Kou Zhun strongly opposed it because Yan Shu was from the south. He was fighting fiercely with some ministers from the south, and he extremely disliked the southers in his heart.
Yan Shu was almost exonerated on unfounded charges. Fortunately, Song Zhenzong liked Yan Shu, so he criticized Kou Zhun, appointed Yan Shu as a Jinshi, appointed Yan Shu as the deputy section librarian of the National Library, and appointed Yan Shu as the deputy section librarian of the National Library.
Peng Nian was his teacher, teaching him step by step, and making sure to cultivate Yan Shu into a talented person.
The most noble person in Yan Shu's life was Song Zhenzong. With the emperor as a big backing, no matter how fierce the ministers fought, they could not hurt him at all.
At the age of 24, Yan Shu served as the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple, Zuo Lang, and his rank was from the sixth grade, which was equivalent to a deputy department-level cadre.
At the age of 28, Yan Shu was the teacher and accompanying student of Prince Zhao Zhen. He was also the emperor's secret secretary and a high-ranking official in Jixian Academy. He enjoyed great fame.
It is said that when Zhao Zhen was the prince, Yan Shu had some troubles with him. At that time, in addition to Yan Shu, there was also a man named Cai Boqi who served as the prince's companion.
Cai Boli was flattering and seeking honor, and tried every means to please Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was young and had short legs at that time. When he crossed the threshold, Cai Boli even lay on the ground and let Zhao Zhen step on him to cross the threshold.
Looking at Yan Shu, he educated Zhao Zhen with a straight face every day, telling him not to be playful and to study hard. After all, his father said that "there is a room of gold in a book." Zhao Zhen was annoyed to death at that time.
Once Song Zhenzong had a whim and wanted to check his precious son's studies. This time Zhao Zhen was in trouble. He asked Yan Shu to write an article for him, but Yan Shu refused to agree, so the flatterer Cai Bo wrote an article for him.
Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty noticed something was wrong with the article, and after questioning it, Yan Shu reported it truthfully.
Zhao Zhen was furious, pointed at Yan Shu's nose and cursed, threatening that he would definitely kill him when he became emperor.
As a result, Song Zhenzong died and Song Renzong Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne. Not only did he not resent Yan Shu, but he believed that upright people were the most reliable. So Yan Shu rose to the top and became prime minister at the age of 35.
It can be said that Yan Shu's official career is moving forward steadily, but his smooth official career path does not prevent him from becoming a person who knows people well and makes good use of them.
Yan Shu was very accomplished in politics and was also very discerning in selecting talents.

Hand-crafted the most gorgeous circle of friends in the Northern Song Dynasty.
His two sons-in-law: Fu Bi was a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Yang Cha was the Minister of Rites.
He is also willing to support talents, including Han Qi, who has made great achievements in the defense of Xixia.
When Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu were sent to Henan, they invited Fan Zhongyan to teach Yingtian Academy and promoted education. Later, the two of them joined forces to order prefectures and counties to set up schools and improve the imperial examinations, which contributed to the rise of school education in the Song Dynasty. There was also Ouyang Xiu, who was promoted by Yan Shu
However, it is easy to get to know each other but difficult to stay together. Later, he often criticized Yan Shu, and the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point. Fortunately, they finally reached a reconciliation. In the end, Wang Anshi, the famous prime minister through the ages...
It was precisely because he knew Yan Shu's experience very well that Lu Yao knew that telling him about Wang Anshi's abilities was the right choice.
After Yan Shu left, Lu Yao's next task on this day was only what he had to do every day, which was to write a novel manuscript for Han Yunyu and Cao Han. And there was new news from Tangxi.
It was said that one of his men had made an appointment with Cao Ping, and the date was chosen to go to Fanlou for a drink on the night of the first round of the official competition of the Lions team, the Cao family's Cuju team. Tangxi said,
Originally, he wanted to make a date with the Immortal in the Wine, but when Cao Ping heard about the Immortal in the Wine, he became angry and refused immediately. He had no choice but to choose Fanlou in the end. Tangxi had already explained that there was no need to be afraid of spending money.
, we must find a way to get Cao Ping drunk, and learn from him what arrangements the Cao family will make for Cao Han next.
After such a long time, Cao Han's affairs finally made some progress, and Lu Yao also felt very happy. After all, after the first round of the new Cuju competition, the imperial examination will be ushered in, and this imperial examination and meeting
The examination is different. The palace examination results are released very quickly. It should not take more than a week. Moreover, the palace examination should only announce the emperor's ranking of these candidates based on their performance in the palace examination. There is no score. After that, it is Qiong.
Lin Yan hosted a banquet for these successful imperial examination candidates, and Lu Yao knew clearly that once the results of the imperial examination came out, Lu Xu and Han Yonghe would definitely start worrying about their marriage to Han Yunyu without having to say anything. Really?
At that time, Lu Yao will have no way out, so for Cao Han, Lu Yao must make plans and take action in advance. Previously, Lu Yao was always shirk in his heart, feeling that this time
It's still early and there's still a lot of time, but now the Cuju competition is about to start, and at the same time, my relationship problems have reached a point where I have to solve them.
"If there is any news, inform me as soon as possible. You will keep an eye on this matter personally." Lu Yao said to Tangxi earnestly. Although Tangxi didn't know why the young master was so concerned about the affairs of the Cao family, Lu Yao would give Cao a message every day.
From the small matter of Han writing something, Tangxi could also see that the young master seemed to have a certain relationship with Miss Cao Han, so Tangxi naturally did not dare to neglect matters that the young master valued.
One night passed...
When the morning sun shone in Lu Yao's room, he woke up. Today, there is only one day left before the official start of the new Cuju competition. And in the actual sense, the competition has already entered the schedule from today, because today,
The Huangtian team and the Grassroots team will spend half a day each going to the Bird's Nest Stadium for training, and Lu Yao will also go with Zhe Kexing to make a final inspection of the venue.
Lu Yao rode a carriage along the way. At first, he didn't notice anything strange in the inner city. But as soon as the carriage arrived in the outer city, Lu Yao felt that the people in the outer city today seemed to have nothing to do. The streets
There were so many people on the bus that even the carriage began to have problems.
Simply, Lu Yao got off the carriage and went for a walk with Tang Xi in the outer city area. After some questioning, he learned that it was because tomorrow was the official start day of the new Cuju competition, although the common people naturally had not seen it.
There were two warm-up matches in the palace before, but Cuju, as the saying goes, if you haven’t eaten pork, you haven’t seen pigs running. The old-fashioned Cuju has been handed down since ancient times, and people also have it once or twice a year.
I was able to see the performance of the Royal Cuju Team, so when I heard that the Cuju Competition was going to be held at the Bird's Nest, I wanted to go near the Bird's Nest Stadium today to see the excitement.
Lu Yao knew at a glance that this should be an order from the emperor. After all, the competition would start tomorrow. It would not work without any publicity. Zhao Zhen had already done this once before when announcing the competition.
At that time, imperial notices were posted everywhere in Bianliang City, and this time was no exception. Every time you walked a certain distance, you could see street notices. Lu Yao knew what was written on them. It was the royal family promoting this Cuju competition.
Related news, compared with the previous promotion content, this notice has already stated the date of the first round of official competition. A total of four games will be completed within the next week.
For the common people, they naturally can't imagine what kind of changes this Cuju competition will bring to their body and mind. After all, the competition has not started yet. It remains to be seen whether Cuju will improve physical fitness and bring fun.
We only found out after watching the competition. Because the previous Cuju was too far away for the common people. They just watched it for fun and did not participate in it personally, so naturally they did not know that this Cuju should be a movement promoted to the whole people.
Lu Yao saw how enthusiastic all the people were now. On the one hand, he felt very happy. On the other hand, he also remembered that in modern times, no matter which new restaurant or shopping mall, or even a street stall,
In those first few days, the hotel was packed with people. People are like this, always full of curiosity. This is also the biggest driving force for the development of society.
Although the official game will only start tomorrow, the news has already been spread. If it were Lu Yao, he would do the same thing. You can't wait until the game starts tomorrow to promote it, because then you might not wait until the game starts.
It's over, the Bird's Nest Stadium is not full yet.
When Lu Yao and Tang Xi arrived near the Bird's Nest Stadium, they found that two areas had been cleared by some officers and soldiers. Obviously, these soldiers had been ordered to maintain order. What Lu Yao did not expect was that,
The captain of these people who maintain order turned out to be Gu Liang, the leader of Han Qi's Goshawk team. You know, it is not an exaggeration to say that the members of the Goshawk team are Han Qi's confidants. Just for the first time
When he entered the palace to meet the saint, he almost let the emperor
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhao Zhen couldn't even come to Taiwan. This time, Han Qi was on a mission to Daxia. Lu Yao thought that Han Qi definitely wanted to bring this group of people with him, but the new Cuju competition was about to start, so he might give up this time.
Competition, so Gu Liang and more than ten people were left behind. As the captain of the soldiers who maintained order this time, Lu Yao could understand.
Gu Liang naturally saw Lu Yao here, so he came up to him and explained the situation to Lu Yao.
Now, although there are many people watching the excitement outside, an area at the entrance of the Bird's Nest has been separated by them. People cannot enter the Bird's Nest Stadium today. And this second area has been vacated.
The area that Lu Yao and Zhao Zhen had discussed before was to be used as a food street. Tomorrow, Lao Chen and his three families will be selling goods here. Gu Liang said that these are orders personally given by the emperor.
Lu Yao asked Gu Liang that he was here today to maintain order. What about his team members? Gu Liang was not too worried about this. He said that they had no way to go to any training ground in the palace to train these days. If they were just training physical strength
In terms of endurance, Gu Liang feels that stopping for a day today will not have any impact. The meaning of this sentence is clear. However, Gu Liang feels that their Goshawk team still has advantages as soldiers in terms of physical fitness. Lu Yao does not deny this.
a little.
While the two were talking, Lu Yao heard someone greeting him. He turned around and saw that it was Lao Chen and the other two families. They were already in the area vacated by the food street. It seemed that
I also came here to visit some places.
Gu Liang said that he already knew the information about Lao Chen and others, so he let them in. Lu Yao then said goodbye to Gu Liang for the time being and went to where Lao Chen and the others were.
And waiting there at the same time was Lu Yao's good brother, Zhe Kexing. After seeing Zhe Kexing, Lu Yao also knew that it turned out that today's proposal to go to the Bird's Nest to maintain order was Zhe Kexing's idea, and it was him who went to find him.
Zhao Zhen requested the order, and Zhe Kexing was still a little uneasy at this time. After all, he had not told Lu Yao about this matter before, but Lu Yao felt that Zhe Kexing did this matter neatly and neatly, because he had never thought about it before.
To maintain order and do some publicity before the game, Katsuyuki Zhe did this and perfectly made up for what he didn't expect.
As for Lao Chen, Lu Yao was not surprised that he appeared here. Lao Chen said that he brought the other two families and followed his son, Chen Chen, here this morning. The three families came here.
Come, that is, I want to choose the location of my stall tomorrow in this area and take a look at the surrounding environment. Unlike Lao Chen, the other two families have been frightened by the large number of people. They have never seen them before.
Such a big scene, but they also felt very happy in their hearts, thinking that if each of the people who came here came to buy a snack from them, wouldn't it be a big profit.
Lu Yao asked Lao Chen where Chen Chen had gone. Lao Chen said that Chen Chen had already entered the Bird's Nest Stadium. Zhe Kexing told Lu Yao that this morning was the training time for the Huangtian team and the afternoon was the training time for Chen Chen's grassroots team.
I originally thought that Wang Da and the others would not come so early, but I didn't expect that they arrived here very early today. They have already started training, and Chen Chen is watching their training inside.
Lu Yao continued to say a few words to Lao Chen, and then took Zhe Kexing to the Bird's Nest Stadium for a final inspection. Because today's requirements were stricter, and Lao Chen also needed someone to look after him, Lu Yao went there.
Tangxi was left outside.
Gu Liang naturally did not stop Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing. After the two entered the Bird's Nest Stadium, at first glance, they saw the Huangtian team training on the central field of the stadium. It seemed that they were currently training.
Conduct shooting training. Judging from the distance, it should be a set-piece training. Wang Da raised his foot and a perfect banana ball appeared. The goalkeeper had no time to react and the ball hit the net.
The players of the Huangtian team were all cheering for Wang Da's shot, but Chen Chen, who was watching from the sidelines, seemed very calm.
Seeing this, Lu Yao asked Zhe Kexing to check out the areas that the two of them thought were problematic when they came here to see if improvements had been made. On his side, Lu Yao walked towards the center of the venue.
"Why, this goal won't scare you, right?" Lu Yao walked to Chen Chen's side and said.
Chen Chen smiled and said, "That's not true. I already know what kind of opponent I will face."
"That's good." Lu Yao didn't say much, then entered the venue and greeted Wang Da.
For Lu Yao, Wang Da and Wang Yi will still give some respect. After all, the new Cuju competition created by Lu Yao has more advantages than disadvantages for the two of them.
Today, before the two of them left the palace and went to the Bird's Nest Stadium, they also received instructions from Tang Long. They knew that this represented the emperor's instructions, telling them to be polite to Lu Yao.
Naturally, the two of them did as they were told. When Lu Yao saw them, he said, "I didn't expect that this royal team would be so diligent and come so early."
Wang Da said with a smile: "Master Xiaolu, where are you? It is precisely because it is a royal team that we must train well and perform at our best level. Most of the people who come to watch the game tomorrow are directed at our royal Cuju team.
It’s because of his name, it would be so embarrassing if he was kicked and smashed by the time.”
There is nothing wrong with Wang Da's apparent meaning when he said this. It is true that in tomorrow's first game between the Huangtian Team and the Grassroots Team, everyone is here mainly for the reputation of the Huangtian Team. But there is another layer in his words.
Meaning, that is to belittle the grassroots team. Their strength is not good. But despite this, the Huangtian team did not relax in training. Lu Yao felt that although this royal team spoke a little arrogantly, they did have the capital to be arrogant.
.
However, Lu Yao didn't like this way of speaking very much, so he didn't talk much, and then went to find Zhe Kexing. The two checked around and found that there was nothing wrong. After picking up Lu Yao, he still had a few concerns. Lu Yao gave up.
Ke Xing went to inform Bao Zheng and Su Shi for a while, asking them to come here after the grassroots team training in the afternoon and familiarize themselves with the venue in advance. After all, the venue is larger than the training ground, and the commentary aspect also needs to be rehearsed in advance.
