Chapter 403: I thought about it, but I couldn't get it
A few days later, the rest of the holiday ended, and the yamen of the various ministries were lively again.
Wu Yuanqing also returned to work, his first stop was Sinong Temple, and then someone called Zhao Heng.
"Brother Wu, why are you here?" Zhao Heng had already learned the news of Wu Cong's appearance in Chang'an from Wang Xuance, so he was not surprised that Wu Cong appeared in front of him, he was strange why Wu Cong appeared in the hall of Wu Yuanqing's office in Sinong Temple. Zhao Heng, like Wang Xuance, still didn't know that Wu Cong was Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Yuanqing was Wu Cong.
"Why can't I be here?" Wu Yuanqing asked with a smile.
"Oh, I understand, your surname is Wu, and Lord Shaoqing is also surnamed Wu, you are a family, right? So you're here to ask Wu Shaoqing for help and find a half-official position, right?" Zhao Heng clapped his hands, looking like he had seen through the appearance and suddenly realized.
"Oh." Wu Yuanqing glared at him angrily, and then said: "This is where I work, Sinong Shaoqing is me, and I called you here."
"What, you're Wu Shaoqing, you, you, aren't you called Wu Cong?" Zhao Heng was shocked and couldn't speak.
"Yes, my name is Wu Cong, but my name is Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Cong started it myself, no." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, who made you an official, what you say is what, pity a few of us who were deceived by Lord Shaoqing, you were so miserable, after you disappeared at that time, we were all over the street." Knowing Wu Yuanqing's temperament, although he was shocked to learn his true identity, Zhao Heng was not sincerely afraid, he just shook his head with a wry smile.
However, the previous confusion in my heart naturally figured it out, no wonder this martial brother does not live in the hall but can enter and leave the hall at will, and he also knows so much about the affairs of the court and the exam.
No wonder he suddenly disappeared without a trace before the exam, I wondered what happened before, so that he disappeared without even taking the exam that was related to his future, he was the eldest son of the Duke of Yingguo, the dignified martial arts marquis, and the emperor's son-in-law, or the Shaoqing of the two temples of Sinong Temple and Honglu Temple, it all made sense.
"By the way, if Lord Shaoqing asked me to come here, he didn't just ask me to catch up." Zhao Heng asked.
"The main thing is to reminisce about the past, and by the way, I will give you a promotion, lest you know a big official in vain." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"And such a good thing, how many levels are Lord Shaoqing going to upgrade me?" Zhao Heng asked disappreciatively, he thought Wu Yuanqing was joking with him.
Wu Yuanqing was not joking with him, and said very seriously: "I am going to let you be promoted to the third level, become a Zhutun supervisor, and take charge of the camp and cultivate the tuntian."
"Promoted to the third level?" Seeing Wu Yuanqing's seriousness, Zhao Heng's excited voice changed. I can't help but be excited, what is the reason why he worked hard to participate in the imperial examination, is it not just to be an official and to be able to shine on the lintel.
Some people may think that Zhao Heng is too excited, too urgent, and too unbearable in the face of promotion, but you can change to someone else, and your performance in front of the promotion is not much better.
Clear and arrogant, like Tao Yuanming, there can be a few people who don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice. The poet fairy Li Bai is proud enough, and the poems he writes are atmospheric enough, but he still wants to find an official and a half-position in Chang'an again and again.
An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, making me unhappy. This poem is very arrogant and backbone, and has always been regarded by people as unwilling to go along with the powerful, a contempt and rebellion against the upper rulers, and it is also a poem often quoted by many people to show their arrogance and show their hearts.
However, if you know the background of the writing of this poem, everyone will know that Li Bai's poem is more of an expression of his helplessness and a vent of depression.
Because when this poem was written, Li Bai was ostracized by the powerful in Chang'an and was exiled from Beijing, to put it bluntly, he was driven out of the capital, and that year was the third year of Tang Xuanzong Tianbao.
Contempt for the powerful, some are dissatisfied with reality, and even more.
An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, so that I could not be happy, in vain, how could I grovel and serve the powerful, so that I could not be comfortable and smile.
But in fact, Li Bai bent over to serve the magnates, but later he didn't even want to bend down, and he didn't have a chance to serve the magnates, he was not accepted by those magnates at all, and finally was driven out of Chang'an in embarrassment.
If you want to get it but can't get it, what can you do?
In addition to Li Bai, there are many great poets who are depressed in politics, or in terms of being an official, wanting to be an official and being promoted, but they can't get it, and finally they have to be passionate and idyllic.
In order to have the opportunity to be an official, many people will write some self-recommended poems to unknown officials, and even have a special category called Xingjuan poems, or dry poems.
Meng Haoran wrote a five-character poem to Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling "Lindongting Lake for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng", the last four sentences of the poem plagiarized by Wu Yuanqing in Yueyang City, "If you want to help without a boat, you will be ashamed and sage." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info sit and watch the anglers, in vain there is envy of the fish", said that he wanted to cross the lake but had no boat, but he could not make achievements in the Shengming era, and felt ashamed; Watching others fishing, he wanted to show his skills more, and euphemistically expressed his eagerness to do something for the Holy Pilgrimage.
There is another very famous poem that is also the same, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhu Qingyu, before the entrance examination, wrote a seven-character quatrain "Recently Tested on Zhang Shuibu" to the water department member Zhang Ji, before the exam: "The red candle was stopped in the cave room last night, and I will worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang." Makeup lowered his eyebrows and asked his husband, is there a thrush depth or not? "After the candle night in the cave room, I want to visit my in-laws in the morning, groom carefully, ask my husband shyly, and draw my eyebrows in depth and shallowly. This poem uses the context of the newlywed to compare himself to the new daughter-in-law who is about to meet her in-laws, and compares Zhang Shuibu to her aunt (in-laws) to listen to the truth and reality.
Although the desire of these people to seek fame and fame seems to be subtle, they are actually very eager, otherwise they would not be eager to write poems and send them to the officials to express their hearts.
Compared with Li Bai, who thought about it but couldn't get it, it was normal for Zhao Heng, who could get it so easily, to be excited.
"That's right." Wu Yuanqing nodded and said: "In the future, I will hand over the cultivation of the official fields and livestock breeding under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple to you, and you will definitely do it for me."
"Please rest assured that Shaoqing, his subordinates will definitely do their best and will definitely live up to Shaoqing's attention." Zhao Heng solemnly expressed his determination.
"I brought some rice seeds from Funan, Champong, and this year, in addition to increasing the promotion of new crops such as corn, potatoes, and pumpkins in Guanzhong, the most important thing is to try to plant these rice." Wu Yuanqing began to arrange tasks.
"Can the rice seeds over there be planted in Guanzhong, the temperature here is not as high as there, and the rain is not as much as there is there." Zhao Heng said with some hesitation.
"You don't have to worry about that."
