Chapter 154: Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men?
The golden bottle sake bucket is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars!
I can't eat when I stop the cup and throw the spoon, and I am at a loss when I draw my sword and look around!
If you want to cross the Yellow River Ice Plug River, you will climb the snow-covered mountains in Taihang!
Come and fish on the blue river, and suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun!
The road is difficult, the road is difficult, the road is divergent, and I am here today!
There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!
Li Bai's song is difficult to travel and sings throughout the Jiuyuan Dynasty.
Li Bai was asked by Xun Yu to write this poem for the imperial examination.
I may not understand the first part of this poem, I don't know King Wen of Zhou, I don't know about Taigong's fishing, but I definitely know the meaning of the last two sentences, and it is simply political ambition.
And this poem also influenced many literati, including Li Yunlong, Hu Yun and Zhang Tongyun, Li Yunlong and Hu Yun are men, and Zhang Tongyun is a woman.
The Li family, a family in Liaoxi County, was not eradicated by Zhao Jiulong and Jinyiwei, the reason for this is the previous behavior of the Li family, which can be said to be quite good, and it is also related to Li Nan, the secretary of the ministry.
Li Nan was originally a member of the Li family, and when he entered the officialdom, he was worried that the family would cut off contact with the Li family because of his misdeeds, and the Li family also knew what Li Nan meant, so they did not bother Li Nan, but did a lot of good things, especially for ordinary people.
In the Li family, there are more than twenty young people in their thirties, whose name is Li Yunlong, who is an authentic literati.
"Dad, I'm going to take the imperial examination." In the lobby of the Li family, Li Yunlong said.
In fact, he didn't care about the imperial examination at all, but since he heard that Li Bai's road was difficult, he had a huge interest, and later found some poems that Li Bai had written, and he was really infatuated, so he wanted to contact Li Bai through the imperial examination and study literature.
It is basically impossible to say that it is basically impossible to contact Li Bai in other ways, especially since Li Bai is still a great literati with ten great scholars, how can he easily get in touch with it, unless it is through Li Nan, but he is absolutely not allowed to do so in the family.
"Officialdom is too complicated, Yunlong, you are not suitable." Li Yunlong's father, Li Hua, naturally disagreed.
"Let him go!" In addition to Li Hua in the lobby, there is also Li Yunlong's grandmother.
"Mother, Yunlong doesn't know about changes at all, how can he survive in such a complicated officialdom?" Li Hua said worriedly.
"You! If it was before, I naturally wouldn't have agreed, but this time it's different, do you know what Jinyiwei does? The information of the entire Jiuyuan Dynasty is well understood, which means that it is clear who has done and what has happened, do you think something will happen to Yunlong? Li Yunlong's grandmother said, "Also, your second brother hasn't been back for several years, and he should come after a while." ”
"Mother, isn't the matter of the second brother not mentioned?" Li Hua said.
In his impression, Li Nan becoming a big official should be something worthy of the happiness of the whole family, but Li Nan and his mother seemed to have made an agreement in private, Li Nan was no longer a member of the Li family in Liaoxi County, and now his mother had to make him suspicious when he mentioned Li Nan.
"The matter of your second brother is decided by me, firstly, because I don't want the family to drag him down, and secondly, if something happens to him, he can save the family, and now that the situation is different, it's time to come back."
She was indeed very reasonable, and Li Hua was powerless to refute it.
"Mother, when will the second brother come back?" Li Hua asked, he still cares about Li Nan, the entire Li family is a literary teacher, how can he not care.
"Yes, grandma, when will the second uncle come back?" Li Yunlong echoed and asked.
"Yunlong, don't you know that your second uncle is also one of the examiners in this imperial examination? At least you have to wait until the imperial examination is completed to come back, if you are admitted, you may have the opportunity to be with your second uncle, if you are not admitted, you will come back alone! Li Yunlong's grandmother said.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass the exam, and I will never be ashamed of my second uncle." Li Yunlong said with an affirmative face.
"Shame? If you don't embarrass my Li family, forget it, you still want to embarrass your second uncle. Li Hua said with a look of disdain.
He didn't think that Li Yunlong could do well in the exam, after all, there must be a lot of talents in the huge Jiuyuan Dynasty.
"Dad, I'm at least your son, as for saying that about my own son?" Li Yunlong said with a melancholy face, he was very depressed, every time Li Hua came out from time to time to say that he couldn't do this, he couldn't do that.
"Yo Yo Yo, am I still wrong? If you get a good ranking this time, I won't interfere with your affairs in the future. ”
"That's what you said?" Hearing this, Li Yunlong asked, he had to confirm it again.
"I said that." Li Hua said.
The first is to encourage Li Yunlong, since Li Yunlong is going to participate in the imperial examination, at least there must be a good result, and the second is to see how capable Li Yunlong is, he can't always manage Li Yunlong in the future, he should have his own way to go.
"Okay, Dad, you wait, wait until I get a good ranking for you."
Li Yunlong made up his mind to win a good ranking, not for anything else, just to let Li Hua see his efforts and make an agreement to live in the future.
Shangdang County.
Hu Yun was a poor scholar, and his teacher was impressed by his spirit of hard study, and he also accepted him as a closed disciple.
However, although he is full of enthusiasm, he has nowhere to go, he can't display his political ambitions, and he feels ashamed of his teacher's education and expectations, and now Lu Jiuyuan has created the imperial examination, he sees hope, even if he fails, he has to give it a try, and today is the time for him to sign up.
Shangdang County is considered the northernmost place in Kyushu, and it is also the least valued place, especially when it was still the Qingyu Dynasty, there were far fewer people who read, so Hu Yun's chances were much greater.
In a mansion in Hedong County.
"I won't allow you to go!" A man said, his face very resolute.
"I'm going to go, I'm going to go whatever I want." Another person in the room said, apparently a woman.
The woman's surname is Zhang, her name is Tongyun, and she is also a talented and talented woman in the local area, and she can be regarded as a little famous, but she is managed by her father Zhang Mu.
"Daughter, it's not that I won't let you go, it's your identity... Alas! Zhang Mu said that Zhang Tongyun seemed to be very resolute, but he couldn't let Zhang Tongyun go.
"Dad, who said that women can't participate in the imperial examination, and the holy decree doesn't say the same, can't I participate."
It turned out that Zhang Tongyun wanted to take the imperial examination as a woman.
Although Kyushu's thinking is still much more open than that of ancient China, he has never heard of women participating in the selection of officials, let alone women as officials, so Zhang Mu tried his best to stop Zhang Tongyun from participating in the imperial examination.
"Daughter, this time you just listen to your father's good or not, and your father agrees to all other things, except for this matter." Zhang Mu repeatedly stressed that Zhang Tongyun would not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination because he was also afraid.
"Dad, just let me go, please just this once, Dad used to control me in everything, but now I can't satisfy me with this one thing?" Zhang Tongyun said.
It seemed that the imperial examination seemed to her to be imperative and indispensable.
"Hehe, satisfy you? Then who will satisfy your father and me? Anyway, it just doesn't work. "Whatever you say is useless in Zhang Mu's opinion," someone locked the young lady in the room, and when the imperial examination was over, he would let the young lady out. ”
"Daddy! Hum! ”
Zhang Tongyun also had no choice but to let people lock the room, use the second method, let her personal maid prepare the clothes, and then secretly escape, the room has already been dealt with, and it is very simple to get out.
"Dad, who said that women are inferior to men, I will definitely want you to see it this time!"
Zhang Tongyun secretly left and headed towards the imperial examination.
