Chapter 69: Subduing Meng Haoran (Second Update)
What happened in the Wang family made Guo Li clearly realize the horror of imperial power, Li Longji deposed the queen, gave Wang Shouyi to death, and promoted Wang Shouzhen to the general of Ganzhou, and put himself in the position of Dali Siqing. The carrots and sticks made the Wang family suffer a great grievance and kneel to thank the emperor for his grace. The old lady Wang didn't see the emperor, let alone others. Wang Shouyi was buried in the ancestral grave, and Baguio's mother was sick and lay in bed from the day she learned the news.
Guo Li took office and unexpectedly met Sun Li. Sun Ti was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and a sentence of long-term admiration made Sun Ti think that the new Siqing had already inquired about the inside of Dali Temple, and he had some respect for the newly appointed adult. Originally, I thought that Dali Temple was responsible for the national case review and needed to work overtime. After I came, I realized that this is also a Qingshui Yamen. Cases submitted to the Criminal Department by various prefectures and counties across the country are brought to Dali Temple after being reviewed by the Criminal Department, and there are basically very few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. The prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty really lives up to its reputation, and there are few corrupt people in various places. In the first year of the first year of the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, the Dali Siqing served in office, and there was not a single wrongful case in the past ten years. Guo Li learned that Yuan Xingchong was seventy years old, and he remembered an old topic, how old were Tang Dynasty officials to retire?
Guo Li didn't think about the affairs of the Wang family for the time being, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't change anything. Seeing Baguio's sad appearance, I was really afraid that her body would not be able to bear it. Baguio has been staying at the Wang family to take care of his mother, and as soon as Wang Shou died, Baguio didn't dare to tell his mother, for fear that the old man would not be able to stand the blow.
The imperial examination in the eleventh year of Kaiyuan was held as scheduled, and Zhang said that he served as the chief examiner. The emperor personally wrote a poem on the same day with "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". There is no limit to the style of poetry, whether it is a rhyme poem or a quatrain, a music house, an ancient poem, a long or short sentence, you can do it. The students who participated in the imperial examination had a feeling of opening their eyes, and compared with the prescribed poems in previous years, this year was much more relaxed.
The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring is a work by Tao Yuanming, which tells the story of a Wuling man who got lost in a paradise, which has the meaning of being born and entering the world, and is deeply loved by Li Longji. It is the first time in history that an article has been used as the title of a poem.
Yang Guozhong participated in the imperial examination. Suddenly hearing the title, ecstatic. When I put pen to paper, I felt empty in my stomach. Seeing the students around him hand in their papers one by one and go out, I was anxious. In desperation, I made a song based on my memory. Yang Guozhong knew that he would not be able to win the title of the gold list, so he was ready to go home, and made up his mind to go back and study poetry and books.
Cui Yuan also failed to be admitted, and was originally going to return to his hometown to study hard, but he was retained by Li Yanyun to stay for a longer time. Cui Yuan really didn't understand what this cousin meant.
It turned out that it was only because Li Yanyun had a dream.
Li Yanyun had more contact, and only then did he know that this famous disciple from the Qinghe Cui family was really a straw bag. Except for a little understanding of the art of war, it is useless, and it is inevitable that Cui Yuan will be a little cold in his words. Who knew that one day Li Yanyun had a dream, dreaming that he was shackled, and there was a purple-robed man in front of him, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Cui Yuan. After waking up from the dream, Li Yanyun told his wife about the dream, and the lady said: "Since this Cui Gongzi in the dream can become a big official in the future, who can know if this dream is true or false?" Since then, Li Yanyun has taken intimate care of Cui Yuan, which has made Cui Yuan at a loss. Cui Yuan wants to leave, and Li Yanyun pleads with Cui Yuan to save his life in the future. Cui Yuan didn't know whether to agree or not.
The theory of dreams is ethereal.
Meng Haoran made a song of seven laws with confidence, thinking that he could take advantage of this to jump into the dragon gate, but he didn't expect to fall into Sun Mountain. In fact, Meng Haoran was originally a flower explorer, but when Li Longji saw Meng Haoran's name, he said: "A poem that Meng Haoran made at the Second Prince's Poetry Conference in the past has a sentence in it: Don't know the Lord and abandon it." I have never abandoned him, but I still don't know the master, which means that I have no talent. Tick it, this person will never be hired. ”
Meng Haoran's career is over.
The champion is Wang Wei.
For such a result, it was already expected by Guo Li.
Wang Wei was appointed by the emperor to serve as a prisoner in the country, from the sixth grade. If it was placed in the past, Guo Li would have laughed when he heard it, Wang Wei actually got the position of a "traitorous minister", since Queen Wang was deposed, Guo Li was rarely in the mood to ridicule. Wang Wei made a seven-word ancient poem "Peach Blossom Spring", which perfectly interprets the story of the Peach Blossom Spring. I didn't read it in my previous life, Guo Li also deliberately looked for it, and sure enough, it was Wang Wei, a poem about the proposition of the imperial examination was so colorful.
Fifth Valley won the first battle.
After hearing about the offer of Kangyi Study, the neighboring states and counties came to the door and asked to buy books at the same price. As a result, more businesses took the initiative to participate in the request to include notices in the book, and the cost of notices rose to three cents. Because the books printed by Kangyi Study have punctuation marks, they are very popular outside. Even officials in Jiangnan Prefecture and County took the opportunity to report on their work in Beijing and set a book list with Kang Yi's study. This alone has brought Guo Li an unexpected lucrative income.
Guo Li thought about how to convince Meng Haoran.
With several exchanges between the two, Guo Li has laid the foundation of friendship between each other, and he is just one foot away. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Uncle Liu's tricks obviously can't be used, Meng Haoran wants to serve the people, if he subdues Meng Haoran, he can only start from this aspect. The biggest thing in Jingzhao Mansion now is the shortage of food, if this problem can be solved, it will not be difficult to subdue Meng Haoran.
Meng Haoran was drinking tea in the political garden when he saw Guo Li coming to salute. After Guo Li took his seat, Meng Haoran said gloomily: "Ziyi must have known that Meng decided to leave Beijing in the near future and travel to Jiangnan before making plans. ”
Want to go? What should I do if you're gone? In Guo Li's setting, Meng Haoran is the best candidate for the chief staff.
"Brother Meng is not as good as the matter of the imperial examination, Brother Meng is ambitious and has his own merits."
Meng Haoran asked: "The road to the temple is closed, how can it be used?" ”
At this moment, Meng Haoran was thinking about poetry and the distance, how could he have thought about the grand cause that Guo Li was secretly planning.
"Brother Meng studied the sages hard, why?"
"Ten years of cold windows, just to be able to enter the temple and seek well-being for the people of the world." Meng Haoran looked lonely.
"Since Brother Haoran has such ambitions, why do you want to go the other way? My generation of scholars sacrificed their lives only for the bitterness and happiness of the people. The so-called world is prosperous, and the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. In this case, why not add icing on the cake to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, do you have to wait for the troubled times to display your ambitions? ”
"The world is prosperous, and the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer. Ziyi's words were incisive. ”
"Why didn't Brother Meng stay and help Ziyi? Now that the emperor has awarded Dali Siqing, it is the time for Brother Meng to assist his younger brother in displaying his ambitions. ”
Meng Haoran was a little moved.
Seeing Meng Haoran's heartbeat, Guo Li made a killer plan and drew up a final word.
"Last year, there was a locust plague in Guanzhong, and the yield of fertile land was reduced. Brother Meng knows? At present, there is a shortage of grain in Guanzhong, and it will not be until June next year at the latest, and Guanzhong will inevitably lead to chaos because of the lack of food. If this crisis can be resolved, can Brother Meng stay and help me? ”
"Ziyi has a good plan?" Meng Haoran's eyes lit up.
"There is a shortage of grain in Guanzhong, and the only way to solve the problem of poor transportation can only be solved. The weak transportation lies in the fact that the transportation between Luoyang and Chang'an is not passable, and people can be sent to establish a transshipment warehouse in the impassable place, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River can be transported to the transshipment warehouse through Luoyang, and then transported to Chang'an from the transshipment warehouse. In this way, the problem of water transportation is solved. ”。
"Listening to Ziyi's words is better than reading a book for ten years."
"Meng Mou is driven by the king."
