Chapter 038: Leisure (7)

A few days later, Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, held a banquet in Chengxin Hall to entertain Tao Gu, and Tao Gu sat in a reserved state.

Li Jing summoned Qin Wanlan to the banquet and ordered her to sing "Good Spring".

Tao Gu laughed in shame, drank and drank continuously, and finally got drunk and vomited.

The Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were very contemptuous of him, and the Southern Tang Dynasty, when Tao Gu returned to China, only sent a few small officials to set up a thin banquet in the suburbs to send them off.

When Tao Gu returned to Bianliang, the words of "Good Spring" had already spread throughout the government and the opposition; And he has never been able to reuse it because of this diplomatic peachy scandal.

Dou Yi is knowledgeable and rigorous. His younger brothers Dou Yan, Dou Kan, Dou Yan, and Dou Xi were all admitted to the Jinshi one after another.

Feng Dao, a famous prime minister of the fifth generation, gave a poem to praise Dou Yi's father, Dou Yujun: "Lingchun is an old plant, and the cinnamon has five branches." ”

The five brothers of Dou Yi are known as the five dragons of the Dou family, also known as the five sons of Dengke; "The Book of Three Characters" says, "Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous party." Teach five sons, and be famous. It is to describe the five brothers Dou Yujun and Dou Yi.

Dou Yi saw Emperor Taizu holding a mirror and asked him to look at it to explain the reason, and after looking at it carefully, he said: "This mirror is something from the former Shu, and the former Shu lord Wang Yan used the era name Qiande; The bronze mirror must have been cast at that time! ”

Song Taizu suddenly realized, and sighed: "The prime minister must be a scholar!" ”

After that, Song Taizu paid more and more attention to the use of scholars to achieve the purpose of cultural governance, and attached importance to the imperial examination selection system; Outstanding literati should be selected and appointed.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general, he has always attached importance to reading; After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin reversed the bad habit of emphasizing martial arts over literature during the Five Dynasties, attaching importance to culture and reusing literati.

Soon after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he hired Guo Wuwei, a well-educated man, to teach him scriptures and historical books in the Chongzheng Palace; And set it down as a system.

Zhao Kuangyin was reading the "Yao Dian" and "Shun Dian" in the "Book of Shang", and said with emotion: "Yao Shun's treatment of the four bad people only exiled them to the border, compared with it, the current punishment is too cruel!" So he was instructed to formulate a new criminal law, the Song Criminal Code.

Zhao Kuangyin asked his relatives to study hard, and also called on the founding heroes to say: "Military generals should study so that they can have a better way to govern the country!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin vigorously advocated entrance education and used Confucianism to rejuvenate the country and build a state; He used Confucian scriptures to cultivate talents for governing the country, ordered the construction of the houses of the country's highest academic institution, Guozijian, and built schools in various prefectures and counties across the country, so as to form a learning atmosphere from the child.

The emperor's words and deeds brought about major changes in the social atmosphere; The ministers of the court and the common people of Li were proud of their studies.

Lu Chengyu's endless narration finally made Liu Min understand why there were so many schools and welfare institutions in the countryside of the Song Dynasty; These are all good things that the emperor Song Taizu did for the people during his reign......

Lu Chengyu told Liu Min about the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and education, and at the same time took his restaurant, Oak Grove's school, and welfare institutions; In the end, let Liu Min go to Lufu with Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo to dine.

Kuang Shicai said that the Kuang family had already made an appointment with Liu Min and the three of them, and lunch must be eaten at Kuang's house in the wilderness.

Seeing the two arguing, Liu Min smiled and said to Lu Chengyu: "Lord Lu doesn't need to trouble, more than a dozen people from Zhou Xiaozheng and Yang Ziming in the most heavenly cypress forest have harassed Lu Mansion for a day, and today Zhou Xiaozheng and they went back; Toshiko, her grandfather, and uncle will go to the house of the absentee! ”

Liu Min had lunch with Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo at home outside the absentee, and on the way back to the cypress forest; Huo Renfu suddenly said excitedly: "Minzi, if it weren't for you this time, grandpa would probably report to the Yama Heavenly Son in the morning, and grandpa wouldn't know how to thank you!" ”

Huo Renfu spoke, not waiting for Liu Min to answer; Hooked his head and stared at her, "How can you have such superb medical skills at such a young age to open your grandfather's braincase!" ”

Liu Min was stunned for a moment, knowing what was going on, and pretended to stare at Huo Renfu in confusion and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!" When has Toshiko ever opened your braincase! ”

Liu Min understood that it was the fire buffalo who told Grandpa Huo the truth about his operation, so he could only pretend to be deaf and stupid and say that he didn't know.

When Huo Renfu heard Liu Min say this, he was terrified; He really heard his son Fire Buffalo say that it was Liu Min who saved the lives of their father and son.

It was when the three of them were wandering in the rice fields, and Liu Min was attracted by the scene of Kuang Shicai and Li Er pedaling on the waterwheel; Huo Renfu and his son sat on the ridge and watched the green rice fields.

Huo Renfu suddenly woke up - his mind had been sober and confused.

Huo Renfu, who woke up, saw his son Buffalo sitting in front of him, so he asked, "Buffalo, why are you with Daddy!" ”

The fire buffalo stared at Huo Renfu in surprise and said, "The child has always been with his father!" ”

Huo Renfu looked into the distance and said, "It doesn't seem to be a cypress forest here, what kind of place is it?" ”

"This is an oak forest!" The Fire Buffalo said bluntly: "Daddy, has you forgotten that you were beaten on the skull?" ”

Huo Renfu stared at the fire buffalo, trying his best to recover his memory; He muttered in his mouth: "The old man met his younger sister Liu Min on the road to Changbo Mountain, and saw that she came back with a heavy bundle of firewood after being missing for 3 days, and excitedly stepped forward to talk to her; said that he wanted to marry her to Gong silversmith Gong Mei as a concubine and escape from the tiger's mouth, and the younger sister was still a concubine, so she first gave Gong Mei a child daughter-in-law; My sister agreed without saying a word. Since the younger sister promised to be old, she planned to go to the donkey head weir to find Gong Mei to say goodbye; But I was worried that Xiao Hongping would abuse my sister after she disappeared for three days, so I returned to the Huojia Tavern and told you to ask you to go to Liu Er's house and pretend to buy firewood to care about my sister......"

Seeing that Daddy was verbose, the fire buffalo said a little impatiently: "Daddy is too verbose!" I've already talked about these things, so you can recover your memory from the rice paddy watering! ”

As soon as the fire buffalo said this, Huo Renfu remembered that he and Liu Min rushed to the rice field in Nannanzhuang, and saw a fight on the pond from afar; Leaving Liu Min behind him and trotting forward, his son Fire Buffalo had already been beaten to the ground by the people of the oak forest.

Huo Renfu was old and bloody, and immediately grabbed the two offspring of the oak forest and threw them into the pond; Then I didn't know anything.

"Later, it was Pan Zhiwen from the oak forest who found your forehead and slapped a stick!" The fire buffalo said with deep feelings: "It was Liu Min who opened the skull for you to clean and re-stitch the blood inside, and you didn't go to see the Son of Yama!" ”

Huo Renfu heard his son say this, grabbed his hand and said, "My sister will open people's brains, she is a fairy!" ”

Seeing that Daddy was excited, the Fire Buffalo pressed his shoulder and made him sit on the ground and said, "Daddy, you are excited, my sister won't let me tell you about it......"

Huo Renfu heard his son say this, so he didn't say it in front of Liu Min.

Now that the three of them are going to return to the cypress forest, Huo Renfu couldn't help it, so he chattered like this: "Toshiko, from now on, grandpa will make you a cow and a horse!" ”

Liu Min saw that Grandpa Huo was nonsensical, and laughed and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!" What to do with cows and horses! ”

Huo Renfu saw that Liu Min didn't jump to the lamp plate, so he changed his words and said: "Minzi, grandpa went to Donkey Weir to find Gong Mei and talked about being a concubine!" ”

Grandpa Huo paused when he said this, smiled and said, "I can't say that I will be a concubine, I will be a child daughter-in-law with Gong Mei first......"

"Grandpa Huo, let's not talk about this matter for now, Toshiko plans to make a few more trips to the family to earn some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar money!"

Grandpa Huo was stunned, and sighed: "Okay, Toshiko will go to Changbo Mountain to collect firewood this time, and grandpa will go with you to ......"
