Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi attached great importance to Ouyang Bian's preparation for the exam.

Ouyang Xiu began to go home on time to make up for his son, and Wang Anshi didn't let Ouyang Bian go to his place. He would come over to give lectures every time, saying that he would not waste Ouyang Bian's time.

Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi took turns to give lectures, which also benefited a lot from Su Shi, Zeng Gong and others. After all, these two are real people.

Ouyang Xiu’s journey to the imperial examination was bumpy, so his experience was rich enough.

In the first year of Tiansheng in Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, he failed to take the exam at the age of 17. He failed again in the fourth year of Tiansheng, and failed the imperial examination twice.

At the age of 22, Ouyang Xiu followed Xu Yan, who knew the Hanyang Army, to the capital.

In the spring of the seventh year of Tiansheng, Xu Yan recommended it, and Ouyang Xiu tried to take the imperial prison in Kaifeng Prefecture.

In the autumn of that year, Ouyang Xiu participated in the Imperial College Examination and won first place in the Imperial College Examination and the Imperial College Examination, becoming the Jianyuan and Jieyuan. He won the first place in the Imperial College Examination in the second year, becoming the Provincial Yuan.

In the eighth year of Tiansheng, Ouyang Xiu participated in the palace examination hosted by Renzong in Chongzheng Hall, singing fourteen, ranking second-class Jinshi.

According to the later recollection of Yan Shu, the chief examiner at the time of Ouyang Xiu, his failure to win the championship was mainly because he was too sharp and the examiners wanted to slash his aura and promote his talent.

In other words, Ouyang Xiu not only has the top scorer's real ability, but also has two more test experience than others.

Of course, Wang Anshi is not bad either. In the second year of Qingli, Yang Qian ranked fourth in the Jinshi list, which is higher than Ouyang Xiu. In fact, the gap is very small when he reaches the top. If he meets someone who appreciates Wang Anshi's literary style, it would be natural to promote him to the top scorer, and he would be a little lucky.

The two ace lecturers taught at the same time that it was a routine operation for Ouyang Bian, but for Sansu and Zeng brothers, it was a blessing.

But Ouyang Bian knew that they didn't need it.

It's a genius!

Oh, no, this old guy Su Xun still wants it.

Su Xun is actually not stupid, he is actually an extremely smart person.

Because Su Xun's father was alive and had no burden to support his family, he was a bit like the Ren Xia and Zhuangyou of Li Bai and Du Fu in his teenage years, and he traveled a lot.

When he was 25 years old, he married his wife, and then he suddenly realized and began to study hard. In this way, he still became the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Are you angry?

However, this guy is not stable in his foundation because he is studying too late. Although he is very knowledgeable, especially in prose and political theory, he is indeed a little worse for exams.

Therefore, Su Shi and Su Che passed the second year of Jiayou, but Su Xun failed the exam as an old father, which made him happy and at the same time very shameless, so he later refused to take the exam.

Later, Fu Bi recommended him to become a small official and entered the officialdom, but he had no achievements in the officialdom throughout his life. Not to mention that he could not compare with his second son Su Zhe, he could not even compare with Su Shi.

Therefore, the successive lectures of Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi benefited the most from Su Xun.

Of course, Ouyang Bian also benefited a lot because what he needed was intensive training, most of which were aimed at an expression system.

He wanted to transform from the vernacular expression system in later generations to the expression system of classical Chinese, which was the focus of his goal.

The ability to write policy theory is actually just about point of view and writing.

In terms of view, Ouyang Bian, who came to the future generations, is his strength and his writing style is his weakness, but he does not refer to vernacular Chinese. As an editor, his writing style is limited no matter how poor his writing style is.

As long as he supplements the foundation of classical Chinese, the articles he wrote are not far behind. After all, for argumentative essays like strategy, opinions are the top priority.

During such a training, Ouyang Bian's articles are often amazing, and even Su Shi often praises Ouyang Bian.

He believes that Ouyang Bian's writing style may still have a lot of room for improvement, but his broad knowledge and profound knowledge are truly the only ones he has seen in his life!

Everyone agrees with Su Shi’s statement.

Although Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi did not praise each other in person, they also agreed with this.

Especially Wang Anshi often told Ouyang Xiu that the monk's arguments often came out of what the predecessors had never been revealed. Every time I saw them, I often felt enlightened, just like a cow drinking a large pot of hot tea in spring, hot sweat dispelling the cold spring, and my whole body was so clear.

Wang Anshi therefore came to a conclusion that if he could meet an admirable examiner, even if the monk could not win the title, he would have the possibility of a Jinshi.

Of course, Ouyang Bian was unaware of these things, so he still made some preparations, especially since he knew that Jiayou had the second year of examination questions. Although Ouyang Xiu did not serve as the principal exam, the same exam questions might not appear, but he is prepared for it.

He wrote a policy on the topic of "Theory of Punishment and Reward, Loyalty and Fortune", and secretly wrote several pages, revising them in great detail and then revising them. Finally, he memorized the best article he wrote without fail.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can meet it.

The firecrackers on New Year's Eve of Jiayou and the lights on Yuanxi have nothing to do with this group of people preparing for the exam. Their daily schedule is to get up early to memorize, write policy, write poetry, and go to class. When you have some time, you will get together to brag.

When everyone gets familiar with each other, they become much more enthusiastic when they brag.

Except for Su Zhe and Zeng Gong who were a little restrained, Su Xun, Su Shi, Zeng Bu and others were also bragging experts.

Needless to say, Su Xun has been rogue for many years, has been well-informed and has been in contact with people from all walks of life, and it is extremely realistic to brag about it.

Su Shi was romantic and passionate, and he could portray a thrilling feeling in every small thing.

Zeng Bu is also a big mouth and is very good when echoing others.

What is particularly surprising is Ouyang Bian.

Generally speaking, the more experience you have during chatting, the more you can take the initiative. As for Ouyang Bian's age, you can only listen, but Ouyang Bian can guide the atmosphere of the whole show.

No matter who speaks, he can take care of it. Su Xun said that he traveled, and he also talked about traveling. Moreover, the places involved seemed to have been to all over the country.

When Su Shi talked about ancient and modern times, Ouyang Bian was often able to find out the contradictions in history books and express his own opinions. The opinions are often different from the mainstream views nowadays, but they are incisive and make people convinced.

There are countless other strange knowledge. Su Shi and the others always feel that when chatting with Ouyang Bian, they will increase a lot of strange knowledge every day.

In response to this, Su Shi wrote a diary and said:

...I like to live with Ji Mo. Ji Mo is witty and interesting. He covers astronomy and geography in his heart, and is well-versed in ancient and modern times. Whether in China or abroad, he is hidden in his heart. He talks about it repeatedly. Things in the world are like reading texts on his palms, especially the strange things in the world are one stone. Ouyang Ji Mo occupies eight dou...

Who is Ji Mo? Ouyang Bian is the same.
