Winter goes to spring, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, is still his firefighting captain. The Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin wanted to kill someone, so he stood up and interceded, admonishing the emperor and currying favor with the eunuchs. The end result is often that the rescued person is tortured and then dismissed, and he has a lot of money but can save his life.

Although he sheltered many officials, Li Dongyang did not please both ends.

The eunuchs thought he was in the way, and the officials ridiculed him for being weak, and he was inexplicably nicknamed "the prime minister of the companion food".

Even Li Dongyang's student Luo Xi wrote a letter to break off with his teacher. Luo Xi said, the righteous ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are gone, you are still left to be embarrassed, and I will no longer be your student in the future!

In the established impression, the cabinet seems to have a lot of power.

But in fact, there are six ministries responsible for specific affairs, and the power to approve red is in the hands of eunuchs. Liu Jin himself is a eunuch with a pen, and he controls the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to directly setting up the cabinet, and Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, only has the right to deliberate.

Fortunately, Yang Tinghe has been drawn into the cabinet, and Li Dongyang finally has comrades who work together. They are now thinking about how to bring down the eunuchs all day long, and they can't spare their energy at all, and they don't have the power to manage the rebellion in Guizhou.

Guizhou is still at war, from June last year to March this year.

The rebels grew in size, swelling to nearly 50,000 troops. However, soon he became corrupt and degenerate, and the Sanmiao chieftain was no longer enterprising, his mind was full of the pursuit of enjoyment, and the degree of exploitation of the people even exceeded that of the Song family.

The dragon slayer still becomes an evil dragon after all.

……

Longgang Mountain.

Wang Yuan took his homework and went to the teacher for correction: "Sir, this article has been prepared." ”

Wang Yangming carefully browsed and commented: "Your article has always been simple, and this article is well discussed, and there is nothing to correct. But your writing is a problem after all, and after moving to Guizhou City, you should start to study dictionaries. “

"What book should I read, sir?" Wang Yuan asked.

Wang Yangming said: "Memorize all the "Book of Songs", "Chu Ci", and "Yuefu Poems", and then choose to memorize some "All Tang Poems". When you can recite a thousand poems, I'll start with "Wenxin Carving Dragon" for you. ”

"Does Sir want me to teach me how to compose poetry?" Wang Yuan asked again.

"Poetry is a small way, but it is only a part of the study of dictionaries," Wang Yangming explained. The study of dictionaries is based on feelings. Your current article is more than enough, but the five emotions are insufficient, and it is convincing but not moving. ”

To put it bluntly, Wang Yuan writes argumentative essays dryly, and he can only understand them with reason, but he can't move them with emotion.

Wang Yangming will not teach Wang Yuan to compose poetry, let alone any peaceful battles, but only teach his disciples how to write articles with emotion.

Wang Yuan gave up his hand, went back to his dormitory to pack his luggage, and went to Guizhou City to study tomorrow.

Wang Yangming picked up the disciple's article and re-read it, smiling unconsciously.

This is a question of the Five Classics, and it is the examination question of the Chenghua Dynasty, from the "Book of Rites: Moon Order": The Son of Heaven is a fresh lamb to open the ice, and the temple is recommended first.

When Wang Yangming was studying, he learned the model text of this question. The details have been forgotten, but I still remember that the Jinshi named Dong Tao first discussed the monthly order, and finally forcibly pulled it to filial piety, and was rated as the first in the "Book of Rites" by the court bigwigs, and this model article was immediately published throughout the country for the appreciation of all students.

After encountering similar problems, the scholars learned the same way, and they also relied on filial piety. It's the same, it's not new, it's the same as chewing wax.

Wang Yuan's exposition is refreshing, and he also starts with a monthly order, and turns to the world in the stage of undertaking the topic. The whole article has lofty intentions, but unfortunately due to the poor writing, there is always a lack of majestic taste, so Wang Yangming let his disciples practice the study of dictionaries.

In fact, with the idea of this article, and the rigorous discussion and the freedom to carry on, you will definitely be able to pass the examination.

This is not that Wang Yuan learned the "Book of Rites", but that he particularly likes the chapter of "Moon Order".

In the whole "Book of Rites", Wang Yuan loves "Moon Order" alone, and it can be said that he has memorized it backwards. This chapter talks about the changes of the four seasons, the different seasons, what the Son of Heaven should do, and what the ministers should do, and combines nature and government very closely.

For example, in the spring season, everything recovers. The Son of Heaven should reside in the Dongfang Ming Hall, wear green clothes, wear green jade, green horse-drawn carts, green luan bells, green dragon banners, and eat wheat and sheep. Three days before the beginning of spring, the Son of Heaven should fast, lead the three princes and nine kings to worship in the eastern suburbs, and issue a one-year decree. Subsequently, the Son of Heaven led the three princes and nine kings to personally spring plough and set an example to develop agriculture. During this month, it is forbidden to sacrifice female animals, to cut down trees, to destroy birds' nests, and to kill female animals, small animals, and chicks. It is forbidden to build a palace in the city, not to gather people to delay the agricultural time, and to bury the dead bones.

This description contains a lot of simple ideas of the ancients.

Even emphasizing the burial of corpses, in fact, spring is coming, and it is easy to break out of various epidemics.

Of course, there must be something wrong with some of the content. In the spring of Meng, not only is it forbidden to kill young beasts, but even larvae are not allowed to be killed, so should locust cubs be killed?

……

Whether the locust cubs should be killed or not, Longgang Zhusheng does not know, but the wild boars sent to the door must be killed.

Before Wang Yuan could pack up his salute, he heard shouts from outside.

Li Ying and the scholar Li Zhong walked out of the nearby bamboo forest carrying a half-large wild boar with a bamboo pole.

Song Ling'er happily followed beside him, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted to all the beings: "I shot the fatal arrow, and I shot it three arrows in total!" ”

Li Ying threw the wild boar to the ground, stepped on the pig's head and said, "Fellow students, you will move away from Longgang Mountain tomorrow, and you should celebrate today!" ”

"How do you eat this pig?" Chen Wenxue squatted over and asked.

Wang Yuan came out with a knife and laughed: "Of course, it's to eat a warm pot (hot pot)!" ”

Yue Zhen immediately clapped her hands and agreed: "Good idea, I haven't eaten a warm pot for a year." ”

"I'll be the chef's commander."

Wang Yuan began to give orders: "Brother Boyuan, you take someone to pick vegetables in the field, anyway, you will move tomorrow and pick all the vegetables." Brother Zonglu, you take someone to pick the condiments in the mountains. Brother Wenshi, you collect the food and spices of all living beings. Brother Liangchen, you go negotiate with Shengmiao and see if you can buy a few fish and come back......"

Everything was arranged, and the servants of the Wang family began to boil water.

As soon as the dead pig was scalded by boiling water, it was scraped with a steel knife and quickly divided by everyone.

Wang Yuan endured the stench and cleaned the pig's water with salt, attracting all kinds of onlookers. At least in Guizhou, ordinary people don't eat pig drainage, this thing is too difficult to clean, and salt is extremely expensive - the amount of salt used to clean the pig's large intestine is enough to buy half a catty of good meat.

After tinkering for a long time, Wang Yuan began to boil lard again, and then fried the hot pot base with lard and vegetable oil.

Throw whatever you want, mainly peppercorns, ginger, and garlic, but unfortunately you can't find chili peppers, or even substitutes for chili peppers.

Uncle Wang smelled the fragrance of the bottom of the pot, rolled up his sleeves and came out, carrying a knife and saying, "The teacher is also here to help." ”

Wang Yuan was unceremonious and commanded: "Cut all the meat into thin slices." ”

Uncle Wang had eaten shabu shabu, and together with the students, he copied a knife to cut the wild boar meat into thin slices. The remaining bones were thrown into another pot by Wang Yuan to make soup, and the aroma was really like that.

Including Song Ling'er, there were only more than ten students left on the mountain at this time.

It was probably busy until the evening, several bonfires were lit, and everyone sat around to eat hot pot.

The dipping dish was also made by Wang Yuan, and because the sesame oil was not enough, the vegetable oil was boiled and cooled, and some salt, minced garlic and wild coriander were added.

Song Ling'er sandwiched a piece of pork belly, soaked it in the pot a few times, and then rolled it in the dipping sauce, eating it with a mouth full of oil, and nodded again and again and said: "Hmm, hmm, this thing is delicious, Wang Yuan, you are too powerful!" ”

Fish, pork, and vegetables are popular, but pigs' large intestines and pig's brains are unattended.

Wang Yuan took the lead in eating a piece of pig's large intestine, disgusting others. But seeing that he was eating happily, all living beings couldn't help but try, and each praised it as "really fragrant".

Li Ying stood up suddenly: "Everyone, we will go down the mountain tomorrow, and we will rest tonight when we get drunk!" ”

"!"

Even Uncle Wang directly killed a bowl, hit the dishes with chopsticks, and took the lead in singing Jiangnan Minor.

Everyone showed their singing voices, and Wang Yuan also wanted to come up with a song "Loyal to the Country", but unfortunately his mother only sang two or three sentences and forgot the words.

The remaining jars of wine were all drunk, Song Ling'er leaned on Wang Yuan, drunk and hazy rubbing her belly: "Wang Yuan, I'm so full." The warm pot is really delicious, is it good to eat it every day in the future? ”

"Okay, eat every day...... Belch! Wang Yuan said in a daze.

Wang Yangming was also very drunk, and he got a bamboo branch out of nowhere, twisted and twisted the sword dance, and sang loudly: "When you are drunk, you can pick up the lamp and look at the sword, and dream of blowing the horn and the camp." Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield ......"

"Good!"

All beings clapped their hands and applauded.

Li Ying ignored the cold weather, directly stripped off his shirtless, beat his chest and shouted: "Who will play with me?" ”

"I'm coming!"

Tang Yan, who was dedicated to reading, also took off his shirt at this moment and volunteered to wrestle with Li Ying.

After nearly a year of life in the mountains, everyone was suffocated, and today they vented and played wantonly, even Wang Yangming rarely lost his temper.

Wang Yuan was lying on the ground on all fours, looking at the stars in the night sky, and he didn't know what day it was.
