Chapter 59: The Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate
The study room is large, with books stacked on the ceiling on the shelves on both sides.
It seems that Lao Cai rarely receives people in the study, so there is no so-called guest and host seating arrangement here. but he ordered a chair to be brought for the time being, and tea was brought in.
When Cai You sat down, he was straight to the point, "Sit down, don't be restrained." Your article, your serialized "Lanruo Temple", and the river defense you repaired. The sum of these three small things is a rare person and thing that can impress the official in recent years. ”
Zhao Cheng was stunned, he is also a direct person, and the interesting thing is that he also knows these things?
It's a good thing to start small. Sometimes when you look at it separately, each clip is average for big people, but the so-called dripping water pierces stones, and the impact of multiple small things is great when combined.
Cai You's goods also began to meet King Duan (Emperor Huizong) from the time of Zhezong, and he got up step by step. To a certain extent, Cai You's career is related to Cai Jing, but it is also relatively independent. The mediocrity who completely relies on the family will definitely not dare to wrestle with the prime minister's father, but this thing will really dare to wrestle with his prime minister's father in the future.
As a traitor in history, there is a view that the existence of this product also has its significance, and the biggest role is to block Tong Guan Wang Huang and others. If Cai You had not been there, the biggest scourges of the late Northern Song Dynasty would have been even more unscrupulous.
Under the rule of Happy Dusk Jun, the entire environment was basically rotten at that time, and people who were not traitors really couldn't enter the temple. However, this goods can get in, and it can also form a custom balance against several scourges.
To a certain extent, the large-scale restoration of the Yuanyou Party (Li Daoxue) marked by Sima Guang began with the fall of Cai Jing and Cai You. Although there was already this tendency under Zhao Ji's rule, it was the Cai family that was prevented by checks and balances.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuanyu Party became popular.
What's going on with the Yuanyu Party? To put it simply, it is a poem that is drunk and dreams of death, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, seeking peace and ceding the land to the outside, and fierce about internal science. The sworn enemy of the Yuanfeng Party (Wang Anshi).
Once Wang Anshi Xiangye said, "A good song is wet and has an egg", so he deleted the resignation subject of the imperial examination. Lao Wang is rough, which probably means that the consuls don't need to be able to recite poetry, they need to know how to behave and do things.
After entering the Southern Song Dynasty Yuanyou Party Daxing, it was the peak of Su Shi's reputation that amazed the whole of Asia, to what extent. The children in the market will say that "Su Wen is cooked, eat mutton." Su Wensheng, eat vegetable soup".
Mutton was synonymous with high-end in the Song Dynasty, and in the words of later generations, it was "a tender model if you chant poetry, and you will hit the street if you don't chant poetry".
If the Great Song Dynasty is like the Thief Eagle during World War II, it is endorsed by 3,000 strategic bombers, although it is a bit funny to play this set, but it is also a good thing. However, at that time, half of the country fell, and the Jin people burned, killed and looted in Jiangbei.
Grandpa Yue said in "Feeling on Ascending Yueyang Tower", "Hu people kill my Hanwa as a two-legged sheep, but the whole society is drunk and dreams and dies, and recites poems to blow, pull, play and sing." What he criticized was actually the "Yuanyou Culture" advocated by Song Gaozong.
This is the first time Yue Fei has committed a taboo, and in the Song Dynasty, criticizing culture was more serious than criticizing the emperor. For example, in later generations, there is not much problem in criticizing the Zhongnanhai policy, but criticizing Tianlong culture will try. The rule is that the king of Hades is good at seeing ghosts, Wenzong Taidou Wang Anshi can't fight the Yuan Yu Party and is demonized by the whole family in all directions, Yue Fei can be a temporary worker in the Song Dynasty who can make people happy?
Judging from here, Wang Anshi's almost perfect style is almost listed in the traitorous ministers' record. It is inevitable that Cai Jing, who is more corrupt than Wang Anshi, will be included in one of the great thieves of Huizong.
But just like the role of the eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty was to check and balance the Donglin party, in fact, the role of the Cai family in the late Northern Song Dynasty was similar. And objectively speaking, the Cai family is much gentler than the eunuchs.
The Yuanyou Party is just more powerful at killing family Tartars, and the real combat power against foreign races is weak, they can beat people like Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing to the point that they can't raise their heads, but when they encounter a mere party member (Western Xia), they will cut the land and sue for peace. For example, Grandpa Yue can hang the Jurchen wild boar skin and beat it until it hits the, but when he encounters the Yuanyou Party, he will rush to the street and storm the pavilion.
Thinking about it, I suddenly heard Cai You ask with a smile: "What do you think, do you think about your own studies and career?" ”
Zhao Cheng didn't say anything after coming back to his senses. The people of the Cai family must love to listen to Zhao Cheng, but they are also knowledgeable, and they can't just mess around, assuming that Zhao Cheng is now a Jinshi who graduated from Guozijian, then the problem of the Yuanyou school can be mentioned, but now it is just a primary school student, and it is misplaced to say it.
You also have to learn more about this goods, for Zhao Cheng, at present, Cai You is the most likely person to bring Zhao Cheng to the capital and to the emperor.
Cai You smiled slightly, "Don't think about it, this official has also learned about you, Chongning's three-year Xiucai (primary school graduate), right?" ”
Anyway, that's what it was written in the school book, so Zhao Cheng said: "Back to the prime minister, exactly." ”
Cai You said, "Then you don't need to think about it, don't be ambitious, this kind of foundation is far from the point of mentioning the official body, from a small matter, this is very important." ”
"Xie Xianggong reminded." Zhao Cheng said.
Cai You twisted his beard again, "Zhao Cheng...... What attracts the most attention from you in the state is not the popularity of your papers and books, but the fact that you have the status of a talent and are willing to work on the river defense construction site and have made achievements. That's the key. ”
Zhao Cheng secretly called it a fluke, maybe at the level of this goods, all kinds of suggestions and brains and Jingxiu articles have been numb, and all kinds of routines to express welcome are also used to it.
Cai You suddenly said again: "This official asks you, do you really believe in the carp jumping over the dragon gate?" ”
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said: "There may be, but what really happened can only be regarded as a matter of course, not as a miracle." Everything needs to be accumulated, and it needs to be boosted by multiple variables. If the water does not reach the canal, it is believed that if the water level does not reach the dragon's entrance, the fish will not be able to jump over. When the water level is reached, the fish can swim passively without jumping. ”
Cai You laughed and said, "It sounds interesting, this official finally knows why you can be noticed by more people." ”
Zhao Cheng was noncommittal.
Cai You said again: "You were also present at the open forum of the academy that day, do you have any thoughts on the matter of banditry in Chizhou mentioned by Xiao Su Gongzi?" ”
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said: "Ming Gong Ming, this is really not something that a low-level scholar like this can think about, so I don't have an opinion." ”
Cai You's expression became strange, "Then what do you mean by that Xiao Su Gongzi is so ambitious and unashamed?" ”
Zhao Cheng Waterfall Khan, sure enough, it is easier to talk to a treacherous and smart person.
Miss Cai, who was eavesdropping outside the study, was angry, thinking that this kid was really a traitor, and he belittled the talented Su Zaifang with the traitorous father?
A nest of snakes and rats!
It's just that...... After thinking about it for a long time, Miss Cai was also speechless to Su Zaifang, feeling that he was really a little out of position, a little ashamed and didn't do anything. As for this Zhao Cheng, in addition to the book "Lanruo Temple", it sounds like he has really done a lot of things now......
