49. Conferment of Officers
Li Rui is obviously the same as me to get the topic and then find someone to polish it, a Shun song south wind fu to do the rhetoric is gorgeous, the literary brilliance is flying, coincidentally, the scholars write Shun song south wind, either to praise the virtue of today, or to satirize the way of governance, and Li Rui and I coincidentally from Shun's filial piety and righteousness to break the topic, the whole article is praising Shun's filial piety and friendship, so it can be popular and the world is in the heart. I wrote this article briefly, and Li Rui's article is really a sideshow, and I can't wait for a word and a dictionary. He read it again in a low tone, between his expression and tone, as if he wanted to cut the flesh to practice filial piety, and break his arm into a coward, after reading one article, he saw his father high-five and smiled: "Good endowment, not only words, filial piety, is even more rare, reward!"
Uncle Xu Wang said playfully: "Your Majesty, this Fu must be the first name, and the rest can not be read." ”
At this time, except for Wan'er, the Fu of others had already been read, and the father seemed to be intended, but the mother smiled and said: "Let Shangguan finish reading." ”
The father nodded indispensably, and the mother looked at Wan'er, who had already stood up and saluted this side, and read: "Wei Wei Shunde, as it is called today." The world returns to it, like ants admiring meat. ”
As she pronounced the first sentence, her mother's fingers clasped on her knees and she whispered, "Normal." In the second sentence, he laughed out loud and said, "Interesting." I saw that my mother was particularly concerned about Wan'er's endowment, so I sat down and listened to her read: "The four seas are like stars watching the moon." It is a clear sound, and education is work. Living in the North Pole and only big, singing the south wind to perfunctory macro. The song of Yihe, making silk and tong and ensemble. The wind is so strong, and Nobunaga breeds and has a little. ”
Although I can only roughly share the good and bad, but I also heard Wan'er's words are smoother and more beautiful than Li Rui, while listening to her reading, I looked at my father and mother with some concern, and sure enough, I saw my father's brows frowning slightly, my mother kept smiling, and her index finger was lightly clasped on her knee, as if she was talking to Wan'er's voice, but Wan'er's voice paused suddenly, and after "Nobunaga raised and has a little", she followed a sentence "Five-string vibrating, Mingwen Crane in the wave, eight-tone clear bandit, playing the parrot in the palm", and stopped.
The mother's index finger hung in the air, and it took a while before it fell on her knee, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you read it?"
Wan'er presented the test paper with both hands and said lightly: "The concubine is incompetent and has not been able to write one." ”
The mother smiled silently, and said leisurely as if she was sorry: "Since it has not been completed, it is naturally inferior to Liulang." ”
Wan'er said: "King Ji is wise and virtuous, and the concubine is not as far away." ”
The mother smiled and didn't speak, and Uncle Xu Wang smiled: "Okay, the first name is out, why don't you give a banquet soon?" ”
The workshop babbled and played "Feeling the Emperor's Grace", and Li Rui led the scholars to come forward to celebrate the birthday of their parents. He was born a little heroic, today he is wearing a martial arts suit, and when he is full of ambition, he looks even more heroic, his father is happy to see it, and he forgot that the peony is to keep the name of the poem, and he said left and right: "Give Liulang hairpins." ”
Yang Zigao personally picked up the big red peony made of silk paper next to him, and put it on for Li Rui's hairpin, and the rest of the people were green or yellow, and they also shared a flower on the head, I saw that they had flowers, but Wan'er didn't, so he pulled his mother's sleeve and said: "A-Niang, it's all a fate, but you can't be eccentric." ”
At that time, Wan'er had already retreated to stand beside her mother, and her mother looked at her and smiled: "Give Shangguan talent a hairpin." ”
The palace people brought a plate full of flowers, and I specially picked out a bright purple one from it, but my mother smiled and took the flowers from my hand, put them on my head, and said: "A-Niang is not partial, Shangguan talents have flowers, and son-in-law also has them." After arranging the flowers, he took a closer look, pinched my face and said, "You and Liulang are a good match." ”
When Li Rui heard him, he squeezed his eyes at me, and I blushed and said, "Shangguan is a person with a white complexion, and it is better than me to wear this flower." ”
Mother just laughed, picked and chose from the plate for a while, took out a lake blue unknown flower, took it in hand and looked at it, shook her head again, and finally chose a light pink orchid, raised her chin to Wan'er, Wan'er bowed over, her mother looked at the flower on her head and said goodbye, Wan'er was about to kneel down to thank her, but was supported by her mother with one hand - the corners of her mother's mouth were hooked, and she looked straight at Wan'er and smiled: "Shun can not only carry Qingyin, but I can also work and educate." ”
Wan'er said: "Your Majesty is the heart of the Holy Wisdom and Heaven, and Deze is self-contained." ”
My mother smiled, let go of Wan'er, took my hand and went back to talking to my father.
It wasn't until between the banquets and drinks that I saw some doorways - most of today's scholars are from local families, although they are not as arrogant as the Cui family, but they also have a little self-respecting surname, so every time my father goes to a place, in addition to rewarding and promoting local scholars, he will also deliberately respect the Longtian family, to put it bluntly, it is just a method of grace and power, so that the world can see how the prince of the Tang Dynasty has both ability and political integrity, and how the emperor of my Li family is bestowed by God, and by the way, he also establishes some prestige for Li Rui. In the past, most of the limelight was made by Li Sheng, he is the crown prince, and I have the distinction between monarchs and ministers, and the doorway here has nothing to do with me, and I naturally don't know the inside story. Now the one who is in the limelight has become Li Rui, who is of the same grade as me and is also a child, and my mother is mostly with the heart of not flowing into the fields of outsiders, so she made the intention on the spot and added me to it.
When I thought about it this way, I felt better, and when my father and uncles praised me again, they accepted it calmly. It's just that I know that I am two pounds, and when my father ordered me to write poems again during the banquet, I invited myself to take the test of the scriptures. My father was not embarrassed, he asked someone to take the test paper to me, and when I opened it, it was all the chapters that the masters had recently called to memorize, and I filled it out casually, and the test poems over there also got results, and Li Rui made three poems alone, which was the crown of the field. I thought that even if Wan'er let Li Rui, she should make two songs, but I saw that she only chanted four verses of praise for the saints plainly: Cui Mu Zhu Wei Open Moon Camp, Jin Wei Yu Pan Lan Ying. Year after year, it is often stumbling every year, and it is happy for a long time.
The first name of this trial poem is Li Rui without suspense, and his father ordered someone to give him another peony, because I filled in all the scriptures correctly, and rewarded me with a glass of wine. I don't drink a lot, and when I get drunk, I'm already slightly drunk, so I deliberately refuse to try the third game in the name of drunkenness. My mother didn't force me, she just told me to watch everyone's exams next to her lap.
In the third scene, Li Rui's brows were furrowed, and when I saw his expression, I couldn't help but look at my mother inquiringly, and my mother smiled mockingly: "Always leave some benefits for others." ”
As he spoke, Gao Yanfu quietly leaned over and handed his mother a long silk. I stretched my neck to see that it was the sergeant's resume and the family history of the three generations - my mother already had a brief roster in front of me, according to the order of the seats, there were a few names that had been left ink spots by my mother, and when this resume came, my mother looked at it again and again, changed a few places, I stared curiously at the place where my mother had clicked, and looked at the position, and found that the few who were happy and angry had been crossed out, and the article was quite good, and the two that had been praised by my father were left with ink spots.
When my mother saw me staring at the roster in her hand, she actually took the test: "What kind of officials do you think these people should appoint?"
I was coldly asked, and said, "I don't know." ”
My mother, who seemed to be in a good mood, moved the roster to me, and told me the names and characters one by one, and said, "It's not an exam, whether it's right or wrong, just try to say it." ”
I tilted my head and thought about it, and felt that since my mother was asking "what official to confer" rather than "whether to confer an official or not", it was natural that she wanted to make all these people officials. In all fairness, the literary talents of these more than ten people are not bad, but they are far from the point where all of them can be promoted to the rank of jinshi, let alone become officials. The reason why the father and mother value them is mostly to be a polite corporal, to buy and buy people's hearts, so that they should be given to officials who are noble but have little real power, such as the imperial history, school secretary, secretary orthography, writing lang, Wei Zuo, etc., and wait for them to experience a few years, and then depending on their talents, they can be promoted or deposed. I told my mother what I thought, but when she nodded approvingly, she asked me again, "Who do you think should be an official?"
I was encouraged, so I continued to think about it, and after a while, I crossed out the names that my mother had just paid special attention to, and said, "These people are really old-fashioned, and they are full of joy and anger, and they can't be allowed to be imperial history." "Such an irritable and old-fashioned person has made a royal history, and he is facing a serious emperor all day long, and his mother is listening to the government on behalf of his father.
The mother asked, "Just don't you do the imperial history?"
I scratched my head and honestly said, "I really can't think of it." Then he pulled his mother and said, "Ah Niang sues me." ”
My mother didn't answer me, but turned her head sideways to my father and said, "San Lang, I think these people are acting quite upright, and they can try to be the prince's orthography." Those two articles are good, and they can be selected as secretary orthography. The rest of the people can try to school Shulang. ”
My father was discussing a new song with Uncle Xu, and when my mother called him, he turned his head and said without thinking, "It's up to you." ”
