Chapter Seventy-Seven: Su Ze, Su Wenshi
Most of the officials are extremely weak-minded, and General Pingbei has nowhere to go if he wants to inspect, wouldn't it be worse if he runs around without results?
However, a young scribe came out and said, "I think that the general's trip should not focus on what he has just said."
As soon as his words came out, the audience fell silent for a moment, and the clerk next to him quickly pulled his sleeve and told him not to say more.
However, the scribe continued: "The border is strong, and the Hu tribe in the distance is not a matter of importance. Now that agriculture has been decided, we should pay attention to the written etiquette and lay the foundation for the next development. ”
Beads of sweat were dripping on the faces of several officials such as the county magistrate of Yaxian County, this Dong Zhuojia and Xiliang Haoqiang didn't like these scribes the most ungrounded content, he said this Don't anger the general.
Tong Yuan's face was gloomy and he asked, "Then tell me, where am I going to inspect next?" Is it looking for you to learn words? ”
The scribe was not afraid, and replied, "Cangjie is my Chinese character making saint, and he is 'Wen Zu'. According to legend, Wenzu's hometown is in the southeast of Ya County. In the five years of Yanxi, a Wenzu temple was officially built, and the incense has been burning continuously in recent decades. Dare to ask the general, which is more important, the heroism of Juye and the ancestor of Wenzu in China? ”
"Okay, of course I should pay homage to Wenzu, he is the sage who created my Chinese script. You are doing a good job, and I follow your advice. ”
The scribe was not satisfied, and continued: "I think that this Xiayang is rich in products, and there are famous ferries, so it is convenient for business and travel from all over the world, so it is natural to contact the Quartet. However, the north of Yaxian County is surrounded by mountains, which is not suitable for copying, but it is close to Chang'an and other counties in the southwest, which is suitable for opening schools to gather talents. ”
"Since Weiyang Junfu implements an enlightened atmosphere, it is exceptional to recruit people with ambition and talent to reuse. I thought that Yaxian County could focus on the development of schools, or Juxian Hall. ”
Tong Yuan's eyes flashed, and he exclaimed: "Very good, after your reminder, I realized that the development of various places has its own characteristics, and it should never be rigid." Your suggestion is very good, I can answer for sure, and will arrange it in the direction you said. ”
He looked at everyone again, and could guess what they thought of himself and Dong Bai, so he said: "I don't like those empty talkers who like to talk about it, but have little social experience and implementation methods. However, if you have high aspirations or have all kinds of talents, I will do my best to find and appoint. ”
He was more sure of this young scholar and asked, "You have such remarks and courage at such a young age, what is your name?" ”
The original Yaxian County Cheng saw the clue, took a step forward and said: "This person's surname is Su Mingze, a character writer, and he is from Youfufeng Wugong County. He was born in a famous local family, and he came to Yaxian County to serve as a gongcao for less than a month. ”
As soon as the county man preemptively said it, everyone knew that Su Ze's qualifications were still shallow, and it was not appropriate to be promoted to the county commander and county magistrate, and pointed out that he was from a famous family of scholars, so as to arouse a sense of distance among people from other classes in the army.
Tong Yuan is still young, and even if he is a human being in two lives, he can't play the routines of these officials. But he had his own set of ideas, so he said: "In this case, then follow Weiyangjun and me to serve in the newly opened mansion, which is also very suitable for our positioning in the mansion." ”
The county was startled at first, and then looked sad. This Su went to Weiyang Junfu to do things, no matter how much he wanted, but he must be in charge of his side in his position, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future.
After Su Ze heard it, he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Su Ze has no merit and no luck, I hope that the general can have characteristics for the places just mentioned, and the words of attaching importance to talent attraction here are in place." ”
When the county Cheng heard this, he was happy in his heart, and this Su relied on his own background in Jingzhao and didn't know how to honor these old officials. At this time, he dared to speak like this to General Pingbei in person, which was really asking for his own suffering.
Tong Yuan didn't mind getting used to communicating like this, and replied: "Okay, after we worship the word Saint Cangjie, we will discuss and plan." ”
In fact, Su Ze was born in the Jingzhao clan, and when he was a teenager, he was famous in the township for his learning and conduct, and was promoted as filial piety and Maocai, and there were prominent figures in the court who recruited him to serve many times, but he rejected all of them.
He was upright and evil, not very particular about rank and etiquette, and since he was a child, he was very envious of the famous direct minister Ji Di during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he was squeezed out by this group of old officials in Ya County.
It stands to reason that Su Ze's background and personality should disdain to contact the Xiliang Army. However, he had his own set of views on the imperial court, which was different from those of the nobles and bureaucrats in the court and the famous people who were obsessed with menstrual blood.
For example, he paid attention to the affairs of the people, and looked at people mainly based on his deeds, rather than the background that other scholars valued most. He disdained Wang Yun, who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but had a slight affection for Huangfu Song and his ilk.
Until recently, I heard that Weiyang Jun opened the mansion and went out of the town of Xiayang, and publicized the recruitment of aspiring people. He responded to the call of the new Zuo Fengyi Jia Xu, and took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Yaxian County to serve as a gongcao to participate in the pacification of the people and the establishment of Tuntian.
Historically, he did not appear until a few years later in the Xingping period. When Li Dao and Ma Teng fought, and later the Li Guo Rebellion occurred, the price of grain soared to the sky. He had to take refuge in the countryside of Beidi County, and later lived in a stable place, and once wrote books in seclusion in the Taibai Mountain, which can be said to have gone through several twists and turns in his life.
However, he later pacified the people and quelled the rebellion in the Hexi Corridor and other places, and made great achievements. In the end, he became a heavy minister of Cao Wei, and in the official worship, he also left a record of despising Dong Zhao and resisting Cao Pi's anger.
At this time, he came to Tong Yuan in response to the propaganda of Kaifu's positioning, so naturally he didn't have to live in seclusion first, and then go out.
Tong Yuan and his entourage went to the Cangjie Temple in the southeast of Yaxian County to pay respects and worship. The building of this Cangjie temple is solemn and simple, covers a large area, and the center of the temple is an earthen mound. Of course, even if it is too far away from the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is difficult to verify the degree of authenticity.
The tomb is covered by a large tree, and although the population and economy are declining, there are often scholars with real knowledge and insight who come to worship. More than a dozen older admirers live here and take care of them. According to their introduction and Su Ze's introduction, legend has it that Confucius once bowed down in front of the tomb of Cangjie, wept incessantly, and could not kneel for a long time.
Standing at the south end of the temple, the words on the stele are small and beautiful, and the dense words show the meaning of reverence. However, some people can't appreciate it, and Tong Yuan is embarrassed by traditional characters, and half of them can't recognize them.
He was helpless for a while, didn't look too much, and quickly went deep into the temple to continue to pay respects.
Xu Huang followed Tong Yuan's side, he was quite strategic, and he was very good at observing and grasping some fleeting details. Just now, he could see that Tong Yuan left in a hurry because he couldn't understand the inscription.
