Chapter 2 In the Library
Zheng Sheng took a very formal greeting post, and was very surprised in his heart, "The servant of the Ministry of Ministers Yang Jia? He's here to visit me? ”
Although the incident that happened a few months ago made him "famous", he felt that it was not enough for a high-ranking official to visit him.
"Yes, this lord has brought the jade plaque of the library, and he has been reading the book in the library for several hours. Not long ago, he suddenly took out this post and asked you to come and see him. A teenager said to Zheng Sheng.
"He's still in the library?" Zheng Sheng immediately realized this fact.
"Yes, he's still in the library."
Zheng Sheng smiled silently and said to the crowd on the side: "Okay, Lord Yang is going to summon me." Go on, I'll go. ”
Zheng Sheng wiped the sweat off his forehead, bypassed the large area of teenagers fighting each other on the wooden plank field, and walked out of this wide martial arts training room, Zheng Sheng looked at the sky that was still sprinkled with snow, inhaled the cold moisture, and walked into the snow curtain.
Actually, Zheng Sheng knew the purpose of Yang Shilang's trip. As early as two months ago, Sima Xin's subordinates began to visit him frequently, but they often came with great interest and went with a little disappointment.
Then, Zheng Sheng also knew about the time of Sima Xin's funeral. Regarding the implementation of filial piety, Zheng Sheng was really convinced by Sima Xin, but he didn't know how to evaluate this matter. But in the end, the outside world will have a better opinion of him.
Although, it doesn't seem necessary. His filial piety has become well-known all over the world. The appointment letter given to Sima Xin by the imperial court arrived as scheduled, and Cao Lang sent a minister, which shows the importance attached to him.
But the sheep squire has already finished announcing the decree, and Sima Xin doesn't accept it, what's the matter with him? What did Yang Jia do when he saw him? You can't think that he tricked Sima Xin into prolonging his filial piety, right?
Zheng Sheng felt his scalp tingle. Officials, this is the essence of the people who are responsible for presiding over the examination, appointment and dismissal of officials at all levels in the world, and the promotion and transfer of specific things!
He was a little uneasy, but at the same time eager to try. Because since the library incident, he has become more and more bold.
The dispute over the library originated from a doctor in Taixue, who wrote to the emperor, saying that Zheng Sheng used money as bait to wantonly seize the private book collection, set up the so-called library in a vain attempt to gain a false name, and planned misdeeds.
Zheng Sheng's fame mainly comes from the people. Of course, the powerful officials knew about the auction, Zheng Zi paper, the library and other new things, and it was rumored that Zheng Sheng made them. But what they understand better is that Zheng Sheng's backer is the king of Shunyang County! Therefore, the doctor wrote to Zheng Sheng, which should have been a small matter, but it caused a lot of waves in the court. The reason is that Zhang Hua, the head of the court, actually took this note at a court meeting, ready to "sharpen" Zheng Sheng, an inconspicuous junior!
However, this turmoil came and went quickly. Just when Zheng Sheng received the news and prepared to fight, it ended quietly. Is there a secret in it, and who stopped Zhang Hua? Or did Master Zhang suddenly think clearly and decide to let him go? Zheng Sheng didn't know. He had no choice but to be his "backers" Sima Chang and Sima Xin to help. has their backing, and the other party has no intention of being cruel to him. So, the thunderstorm of his life only rumbled and ended.
So, he was very disappointed in Zhang Hua. Although he respected this big man who tried his best to maintain the situation, since the other party planned to be unfavorable to him, he didn't want to give in at will.
Zheng Sheng now has the confidence to say no to people.
So, this sheep waiter is also here to find fault?
Zheng Sheng crossed the wooden bridge, walked to the north bank of Beixi, and came to the built library. What you see in front of you is a neatly stacked and well-arranged house at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountainside, as well as the book towers that stand out from the crowd in between, which looks quite imposing.
When he got here, he asked again, "Where is the sheep waiter?" ”
The young man next to him said: "In Qilu District." ”
Zheng Sheng nodded, Qilu District? Could it be that he was interested in Confucius? Wrong! Zheng Sheng paused, and then continued walking, "Shao Hong, I'll take the school exam, do you know where the sheep waiter comes from?" ”
The young man beside him replied, "The sheep squire is from the Taishan Goat clan, and he is the clansman of Taifu Yanghu and Queen Jingxian. ”
"Correct! Not bad, not bad. Zheng Sheng clapped his hands and said in an encouraging tone. Then, he continued to ponder the purpose of Yang Jia's arrival in his heart.
Zheng Sheng and Shao Hong crossed the road. When I arrived at the place, I entered a quiet reading room. He saw an old man holding a book and reading it with relish.
Zheng Sheng thought about it, didn't bother him, turned around and went out. Shao Hong was puzzled. Zheng Sheng explained, "Looking at the appearance of this old man, he is fascinated by reading!" It's not good to bother him at this time. Go get busy! I'll wait. ”
Zheng Sheng thought about it, went to the book tower behind him, and took the book back to the study room. He sat lightly in the seat not far from Yangjia.
Zheng Sheng read the book carefully.
This is a collection of poems. It is a collection of poems by Li Xuan, a down-and-out literati who lived in the late Han Dynasty and during the reign of Emperor Heng and Ling, and has been active near Beihai County at that time.
After reading the introduction on the title page, Zheng Sheng began to read the poem. But after reading a few poems and turning them back hastily, I didn't have any interest in reading them anymore.
He knew that the poet's poems were all words and phrases that were nostalgic for spring and autumn, boasted of being talented, and lamented the hardships of life. This is nothing, on the contrary, this is a very good subject, Zheng Sheng also read many similar famous articles that have been circulated around the world.
However, the poet's writing really made him ...... I can't read anymore.
"This ......" Zheng Sheng suddenly realized the environment he was in, and hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at Yang Jia, but he was still immersed in his own world. Zheng Sheng silently made up what he didn't say in his heart, what kind of thing is this? Doggerel? It's not as good as limericks! Zheng Sheng continued to complain. He suddenly figured out a fact: there are so many people in the world, and they naturally write more literary works, and the reason why there are only a small part of them in later generations, except for the causes of various natural and man-made disasters, is that a large part is really too bad for anyone to read!
Zheng Sheng looked at the two C-grade small characters in the lower right corner of the cover, which were the third-level ordinary books that he and Zheng Wen had identified. Ordinary, high-quality, and hand-me-down, corresponding to C, B, A, etc.
As the work of collecting books became a little smoother, more problems arose. One of them is the objection of many families to the fact that ten ancient books can be exchanged for the right to read forever. After all, books and books are not the same! Therefore, they formulated the A, B, and C books and many detailed regulations in the back.
For example, this "Li Shuchang Poetry Collection" is a C-level book. It was evaluated by the masters of the academy and many famous people in the literary world of the book review society.
Zheng Sheng felt that this evaluation was very objective. Then he remembered the book collection report that Zheng Wen gave him, fifty percent ordinary, more than thirty percent of fine works, and only one and a half of hand-me-down works.
If the level of ordinary level is like this "limerick poem", should he raise the requirements and give up some ordinary level?
