Chapter 44: The Life of Mrs. Zhao
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting in the carriage was dizzy with hunger, and when he passed by the Xizhou Market, a small osmanthus cake almost stunned him.
He wanted to buy it very much, but he was afraid that this behavior would arouse suspicion - since he got acquainted with Qingye and Chu Feng, he found that young men were sometimes more gossip than daughters.
Unlike their own world, people can hold their phones when they are bored, and only occasionally talk about beautiful women at night talks.
There are no mobile phones here, so you can only pass the time with the lace news of the nobles.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks someone to buy osmanthus cakes, the fifty guards who follow him are all paparazzi, and if they go back to the omni-channel live broadcast, it will spread throughout the entire guard circle within ten days, and then reach the ears of the three princes and nine kings, princes and nobles.
Listening to Jiang Diexi, a large hall was specially built next to the Tianlu Pavilion of the imperial palace to store the texts of the officials, and divided the area according to the names of the people, and set up a special person to sort out and summarize, if any official touched the emperor's mold, he would send someone to move out the documents of the crusade against that person to check, and finally sorted out a complete and logical charge, according to the emperor's anger sentencing!
Bo Lingjun was skeptical, and asked him where he heard it, and he said that Lang Zhong Ling Jiang Yan said it after he was drunk - Lang Zhong Ling Jiang Yan was his uncle, and there were few people present at the family banquet, so the credibility should be very high.
If there really is such a place, then the prince's inscription should account for half of the country!
As for the crazy operation of the original version, you have to earn at least 100 yuan a day!
Kankan missed the osmanthus cake, and Bo Ling closed his eyes and fell asleep...... Don't be hungry when you fall asleep!
After arriving at the East Palace, Jiang Diexi woke him up.
When his hunger subsided, he stuffed a few pieces of pastry at random, and went into the study to find the books that recorded the genealogy of the officials of the dynasty......
Zhao Taishi is quite interesting, although he pretends to be an old-fashioned dragon clock, but his body bones are very tough, he is not an old pedant as he imagined, and he should not be stupid enough to accompany the other two to jump into the pit - why did he have to bear the thirty boards of the original version alive?
Turning to the page of Taishi Zhao, in just a dozen lines, it takes up half a page - compared to the dozens of pages of genealogy of others, it is really shabby.
He looked over and over again, and found it more interesting the more he watched.
took out the history of the dynasty written by Zhao Taishi and compared it......
Slowly, a complete and inspirational story is presented in front of you.
Although Taishi focused on writing about emperors and generals, he still tried his best to leave a small place for his father in the history of Zhong Ming Ding Food House.
Although it was only a few dozen sentences, and they were all interspersed with large paragraphs describing others, Bo Lingjun could still feel the gratitude between the lines of Taishi's words.
The story of this little person is very inspirational!
Zhao Taishi's father, Zhao, was born in the middle and late reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, because of his humble background, his name cannot be examined, and the date of birth is not recorded, and Zhao Taishi is embarrassed to fill it in, which has become a mystery.
His father was the domestic slave of Emperor Taizong...... At that time, Emperor Taizong - that is, the grandfather of the original Bo Lingjun, was not an emperor or a crown prince, he was a prince - Zhao Taishi and his father Zhao were doing chores in the palace.
Although Zhao's father is uneducated, he is very smart, he uses his spare time to study and practice hard, not only learned to read and write, but also mastered the technique of raising horses.
Taizong loves horses, and he is harsh on horse breeders, and everyone may be bitter and eager to transfer out of the horse breeding team.
Zhao's father gave full play to the spirit of self-sacrifice and took the initiative to ask for orders and was transferred to the horse breeding team.
In the team, he was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and he was dedicated to improving his business level, and finally became the best horse breeder in the palace in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Taizong's favorite horses were handed over to him to raise - he also lived up to the trust, ate and slept with the horses every day, and developed a deep friendship with them.
During a horse racing event, he gave advice and helped Taizong achieve a grand slam, and finally entered the sight of his master.
It is also the favor of fate, at that time, to catch up with the Yan State invaded the border, Emperor Taizu Gao was too old to fight anymore, and the famous generals also died, sick, and the prince did not general, so he sent Taizong, who was still the prince, to lead the troops to fight.
War horses are indispensable on the battlefield, and Taizong took Zhao's father with him.
After seven years of fighting in the first war, he finally subdued Da Yan, and the emperor of Yan at that time bowed his head to pay tribute every year, and promised to send his prince to Daqi as a hostage, in order to show his determination not to betray his promise.
It is because of this tradition that the protagonist Li Hangxing was sent to Daqi as a hostage many years later.
After Taizong returned, he encountered two happy events, one of which was that his brother died of illness - that is, the prince of Daqi died, and he became the first heir in line.
Before he could recover his peace from this joy, the great Emperor Taizu Gao also died, and Emperor Taizong naturally became the second emperor of Great Qi.
But what he inherited was a mess, and the Great Qi under the long-term war was almost exhausted, and the people were struggling to make a living.
So Emperor Taizong plunged headlong into the great cause of recuperation, and he had long forgotten the horse breeder Zhao's father!
Let's talk about Zhao's father - because of the good horse breeding, he made several military exploits in the army, and then he broke away from slavery and earned a knighthood.
After the armistice, he did not go to the land of fish and rice in the south to open up the local lord like everyone else, but settled in the suburbs of Jimo City, became a small official, bought a very small house, married a girl from a good family, and gave birth to three sons-
Zhao's father was very far-sighted and knew that knowledge could change fate, so he tried his best to hire a famous teacher to give his three sons the best education within his ability.
Mrs. Zhao wrote in a short memoir that when he was a child, his family was not wealthy, and he had no money to buy charcoal for heating in winter, so the family huddled on a kang and covered each other with quilts to warm each other, because it was too cold, and the teacher his father invited for them refused to give lectures.
In order not to delay their brother's studies, after work, his father changed into cloth clothes, disguised himself as a charcoal seller, and personally went up the mountain to cut down and burn charcoal.
Most of the charcoal burned was sold, leaving only enough for the teacher to use in his lectures.
At that time, their brother was still young, and his hands and feet were cold every day, because he could take the charcoal pot exam as soon as he went to class, so he was very yearning for learning, and he looked forward to the teacher every day, and gradually liked reading.
After growing into a little boy, the three brothers went up the mountain to cut down and burn charcoal to supplement the family.
There are many peers among the charcoal sellers, and the Zhao brothers enthusiastically act as little teachers, writing on the ground with branches, and teaching them to read and write.
Taishi finally sighed: The poor are illiterate, and they can't even read the list posted by the government. The imperial court's policy of compensating for farming was changed by officials at all levels at will, and in the end, it was not implemented in 12 out of 10!
Bo Lingjun secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart - dare to write this, not afraid that the official will be charged with killing his head and losing his head?
After thinking about it, it is estimated that most of the officials do not have the patience to read this brick-thick work, and even if they do, it may be ten lines at a glance.
But I can't keep it!
He folded the corner of the page and continued reading.
Taishi Zhao also wrote a memory - when he was admitted to the Jimo Academy at the age of fourteen, because he did not have the brocade robe and boots to wear in class, he hid at home and secretly wiped his tears.
His father saw it, didn't say anything, and went out silently.
At dinner in the evening, someone came and drove them away, saying that the house had been sold by his father.
At that time, in the middle of summer, a family of four went to spend the night on the street with their luggage on their backs.
The next day his father bought him a suit of clothes and made another one.
Zhao Qian went to the school as he wished.
The price was that the house was gone, and the family stayed in the firewood house of his father's colleague, and his mother got up before dawn to feed the livestock, sweep the courtyard, watch the children, and make breakfast.
Their brothers are all growing up, they eat a lot, and the rent depends on the mood, but their father's colleagues don't care at all, but their colleagues' mothers and wives often lose their faces.
In order to avoid conflicts, as long as their father was not at home, their brothers hid out to play, and gradually discovered the way to make money - in winter, they can cut and burn charcoal, in summer they can go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and in the spring, the fish is the most expensive, and a river fish can be sold for ten yuan, and once they caught an old turtle and sold it for a sky-high price of one hundred yuan......
Life was not so poor, so the family moved out of the firewood house and rented a mud house on the outskirts of the city.
That place was far away from the school hall, and Zhao Qian got up at four watches every day, trotted all the way to school, and was never late.
He laughed at himself for his extraordinary foot strength, which he had practiced since then.
The family could only provide for him, so he would come back at night and teach his two younger brothers what he had learned during the day.
Later, catching up with the rise of the scholar clan, the country began to select officials through a small-scale examination, and the three brothers went to give it a try, and they won the first try, especially Zhao Qian, who was directly selected to work beside the imperial historian......
Master Zhao was ashamed in his heart, he thought that he had mastered all the knowledge taught by the teacher, and went back to teach his younger brothers, but the effect was discounted, it seemed that he was not a good teacher!
Bo Lingjun sighed - this really doesn't blame Master Zhao, the IQ of the students is uneven, and a teacher teaches it: some were admitted to Tsinghua University, some were roasted with yams, and no one could do anything!!
After watching it for an afternoon, he admired his teacher a little!
But it's worth watching!
