Han Dai said, "Zeng Gong first served as a judicial officer in Taiping Prefecture and was known for his mingxi law and proper sentencing. Later, Ouyang Xiu recommended him to the Jingshi Dangguan Pavilion to investigate and jixian school, and did a lot of collation work on the books of the past dynasties, and last year xiu the emperor's "Records of Emperor Yingzong", and now that he has been released to Yuezhou, how can he recommend the promotion? As for Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu in the "Seven Zengs of Nanfeng", they were transferred to Kaifeng, but they were serving in Gyeonggi and doing the collation of the pavilion, which had nothing to do with Wang Anshi. ”
Fan Chunren was furious: "Why doesn't it matter?" Zeng Zhao was a student of Wang Anshi. After Zeng Gong's brother-in-law Wang Wuxian made the Tiantai County Order, he also abandoned the official and learned from Wang Anshi. Now because his family was poor and could not survive, he was summoned by Wang Anshi to teach in Beijing. Isn't this a use of power for personal gain? Han Dai asked, "A scholar who is full of poetry and books, teaching in Kaifeng Academy to make a living, is this called using power for personal gain?" ”
Sima Guang said: "After Wang Anshi's third sister married Shen Jichang in Huzhou, she brought up many people in the Shen family, and I heard that Shen Jichang joined the army from yuezhou and was directly promoted to be a professor of the Nanjing Guozijian. Shen Jichang's son, Shen Ba, studied with Wang Anshi at a very young age, and after entering the army and the first generation, he did the guozi direct lecture. Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anli married Xie Dai's daughter, while Xie Chen's mother and Shen Kuo's mother were sisters, Xie Dai and Shen Kuo were cousins, Shen Kuo and Shen Jichang's father Shen Bo were brothers, shen Kuo returned to Qiantang to guard his father's funeral, and Wang Anshi, who was then a judge in Shuzhou, wrote an epitaph for his father. Wang Anshi and Shen Kuo's nephew and Son of Shen Fu, Shen Fu, are still good friends, and these people are now taking Wang Anshi's path one after another and want to transfer to the Capital Division. ”
Zhao Yan said, "As far as Shuo knows, Shen Yu is the first and the first, and should have stayed in the Beijing Division, and Wang Anshi did not recommend his sister-in-law or relatives to Shuo. Han Dai looked at Sima Guang: "Brother Junshi, you can't catch the wind and catch the shadow when you talk, and you can't think that it is all related to Jiefu because many of Jiefu's relatives are in the dynasty..."
Teng Fu did not forgive: "Even if Wang Anshi did not shield his relatives, it is always true that he reused his own students and fellow villagers!" Zhao Yan asked, "Why?" ”
Teng Fu said, "How can Uncle Hou dedicate He De?" Just because he was a fellow of Wang Anshi Fuzhou and a student of Wang Anshi. As soon as the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions was established, Wang Anshi pulled him in as a secretary and participated in the discussion of the law. He also did one of the eight patrol messengers. ”
Zhao Yan said, "Uncle Hou's dedication to being an inspector was approved by Shu. Hou Shuxian had great ambitions since childhood, studied hard, and was a jinshi as early as the sixth year of the celebratory calendar. He was first appointed as a lieutenant of Yongqiu County, and was changed to Tonglu County Ling, where he worked for many years in the prefecture. Everywhere he went, he was diligent in controlling the water, his political achievements were remarkable, and the traitors and powerful people were afraid of him, and there was something wrong with such a person being promoted to the place where he wanted to rush! ”
Fan Chunren also said: "Qian Jingchen went to Kaifeng to participate in the examination of the ceremonial department, and Wang Anshi admired his answer sheet and thought that he was his own colleague. Strongly recommend Qian Jingchen. From then on, Qian Jingchen performed a disciple ceremony to Wang Anshi. Now that Wang Anshi was a counselor, he heard that Qian Jingchen often ran towards his house. There is also a Dong Bi, a native of Xuanzhou. He once made a special trip to Jiangning to meet Wang Anshi and consulted Wang Anshi on the doubts of the scriptures, which was praised by Wang Anshi. After ascending to the throne, he stayed in the Beijing Division and did not leave, and it seems that he also wanted to take Wang Anshi's doorway. ”
Han Dai said, "I know the two people you are talking about, and they also asked me to ask Wang Anshi for help, but Wang Anshi said this: They are still young, they must go to the prefectures and counties for a few years of training, be familiar with the people's feelings and governance, and then report to the court of trial before they can be hired." ”
Sima Guang said: "Cai Chengxi is Wang Anshi's linchuan small compatriot, and it turned out that it was only the Taiping Prefecture Si Li who joined the army and the county of Yanduzhi, and I heard that Wang Anshi was about to transfer him to Beijing." Zhao Yan was impatient: "Who are you listening to?" In the second year of Jiayou, Cai Chengxi and his father Cai Yuandao were on the list of scholars, and it has been twelve years now, and their political achievements have been remarkable. Wang Anshi told Shuo that Cai Chengxi could manage the prefecture and county according to his ability, but he never said that he would be transferred to Beijing. ”
