The central content of the imperial examination is mainly the Four Books and Five Classics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The so-called four books are "The University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius".
The Five Classics are the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the early days, the literati also paid attention to the six arts. The so-called etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are also.
Etiquette is etiquette. It's not just about social etiquette. And many others. For example, the human order, the system of superiority and inferiority, sacrificial etiquette, and so on.
Music mainly refers to music. It also refers to various talents, such as painting and so on.
Archery, that is, riding archery, the ability to shoot arrows on horseback, generally refers to martial arts.
Royal is to drive, that is, to drive. Of course, horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts and the like.
Calligraphy, that is, calligraphy, is mainly for cultivating sentiment.
Counting, that is, counting. It is not enough to be literate and not to count.
Anyone who can sneak into the Hanlin Academy is basically a little learned. However, people's ability to learn is also limited, so it is impossible to be proficient in everything.
Luo Hanlin is most proficient in "Spring and Autumn". It is regarded as the authority on the current governance of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Luo Hanlin's prestige mainly comes from three aspects, one is his own, that is, the authority of "Spring and Autumn".
The second is the afterglow from his father's generation. That is, the prestige and officialdom connections of his father and uncle.
The third comes from his other identity - a scholar at the Hanlin Academy.
The attendants of the Hanlin Academy are to accompany the emperor to study. is regarded as the emperor's book friend, and sometimes plays the role of an instructor.
As a student of the Hanlin Academy, it is not only an honor, but also a fat shortage. Because sometimes, he also plays the role of the emperor's adviser and think tank.
The biggest gold point of this role is that you can directly talk to the emperor, react to the emperor, express your own opinions, and then influence the emperor's decision-making.
Therefore, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, which seems to be a clear stream, is actually a hot position. Many people are willing to make friends because of this.
Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others were willing to befriend Luo Hanlin. They invited Luo Hanlin to eat and drink at every turn, and tonight, they invited Luo Hanlin to eat and drink again.
The location is in Yuhua Building. Gu Panpan, the head of Yuhua Building, attended as a companion.
Gu Panpan won the song "Yulou Chun" in Yeduju today, and he was very happy, and when he encountered this occasion today, he naturally wanted to show it off.
One is to show one's artistic taste, and the other is to show one's financial resources.
Just like some celebrities in later generations, who befriended wealthy businessmen and tycoons, they obviously went for other people's money in their hearts, but they often wanted to show that they were rich and wanted to prove that they were not going for other people's money, Gu Panpan also played this routine.
Gu Panpan not only took out the poems, but also generously took out a watermelon for everyone to enjoy.
Luo Hanlin went to Jiafu at noon today to test Jia Min's poetry skills, but the result was disappointed. He blamed this on Jiafu's fishing skills, and deliberately set a trap to lure them to make a fool of himself, wanting to take this opportunity to make a name for Jia Min.
In his opinion, he himself is the head of the world's literati, and Jia Min's defeat of him is equivalent to defeating the world's literati.
Although Chen Hanlin later explained to him, he also believed that Jia Zheng would not do it on purpose. But he just couldn't swallow it.
So, until now, I am still angry with Jia Fu.
Niu Jizong and others also went to Yeduju today, and they are usually familiar with Jia Min. Therefore, today's topic is inseparable from Jia Min.
So, while drinking, they talked about Jia Min and Jia Fu.
Although Luo Hanlin's style is a little domineering and he is a little small-bellied, he still recognizes Jia Min's talent.
Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others, although they squeezed out Jia Min last time, and this time they also lost in the handicap of Liansheng Gambling House, but they also recognized Jia Min's business genius.
As a result, the two sides reached a consensus on these two points.
But the crux of the matter is no longer here. Niu Jizong's purpose is not to discuss Jia Min's talents, he is here to discuss his interests.
His interest is how to get out of the burden of the bus and horse-drawn carriage at present.
"A few little brothers, your bus and carriage business is indeed a little reckless. It's just that it's like this now, and if you want to get out, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
Luo Hanlin's words are a little unfathomable, obviously looking like he has inside information.
"What do you mean by that?"
Niu Jizong asked cautiously.
He hadn't mentioned this topic yet, but Luo Hanlin brought it up first, and there must be a reason for it.
"Two days ago, the envoys of Siam and Cochin came to pay tribute, and mentioned this matter to the emperor, expressing great admiration, praising the kingdom of our Celestial Empire, and begging the Holy Majesty to allow them to send people to learn the experience of the bus and horse, and go back to follow them in their example. The emperor was very happy and agreed on the spot. ”
"That's a problem."
Niu Jizong was a little desperate.
"Yes, the whole world knows about this matter, if by then, those vassal kingdoms come, and your bus and carriage go out of business, where will the emperor's face go?"
"When the time comes, not only you, but also those officials who are waving the flag and shouting for you, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape. If you don't punish the crime of bullying the king, it can be regarded as light. ”
Niu Jizong and the others turned as if they were dead ashes.
"However, I really can't support it anymore, how many people have been found to take over, even if they send those cars and horses for nothing, no one will do it."
"If that's the case, why wasn't you cautious in the first place? There are thousands of businesses in the world, why did you choose this? ”
"Well, it's a long story. It's just because it was Jia Min who proposed it at the beginning. And we did. ”
"Since Jia Min proposed it, why didn't he do it? Could it be that you have some kind of festive experience, and he deliberately set a trap for you? ”
"Well, there is no real evidence, and at that time, he didn't have that motive, just because we felt that there were too many people who shared the money, so we didn't take him in the end."
Niu Jizong can be regarded as saying a word of conscience.
"According to what you say, the old man will tell the truth, in this matter, I'm afraid that even the gods can't save you."
"That's why I came to you to give me an idea."
"Where do I have any ideas?"
It's not that Luo Hanlin deliberately shirked it, he really didn't have any ideas.
Liu Fang coughed and spoke.
"Let's think about it, this matter has to fall on Jia Min. Since he proposed this business, he must have a way. So, he had to take it. ”
"If that's the case, why don't you ask him for it?"
"I found it, but he didn't answer."
"If he doesn't answer, what can I do? He is just a child, he has no official position and no position, and he can't use the official family to oppress him. ”
"Jia Fu took it, didn't Jia Min take it?"
Liu Fang had already calculated it, how could she give up at this time.
"Jia Fu won't listen to my words."
"The emperor's words, do you dare not listen to Jiafu?"
Liu Fang gave Niu Jizong a look, and Niu Jizong hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Luo Hanlin's sleeve.
Na Luo Hanlin is usually a person who is accustomed to collecting money, and when he touches it with his hand, he knows that the stack of silver tickets is four or five thousand taels.
"The old man can give you a few kind words in front of the emperor. It's not easy to do. ”
"It's not that the old man is bargaining with you, but it's true. One is that this matter has become a hot potato, if you really want to get out, then the price, but you have to discuss it carefully. ”
"This is obviously a pit, and Jia Fu will not be willing to jump into it. If people don't accept it, the emperor is merciful, so he may not necessarily force them. ”
"The second is that the eldest girl of Najia Mansion is also in the palace, and she may be able to talk to the emperor. If she pleaded her case with the emperor, the emperor would probably listen to her. When the time comes, you still won't be able to make a move. ”
"So, I will entrust it to your door, as long as Jia Min's poetry talent and business genius are known to the emperor, the emperor will definitely be interested in him. Maybe he'll be able to turn the tide. ”
"I also know a little about Jia Min, if he has the ability to turn the tide, will he have to wait until today? I'm afraid that this matter is difficult to fulfill. ”
Luo Hanlin repeatedly emphasized the difficulties, but he did not return the silver, and Liu Fang understood his intentions: This is because the silver is too little.
So he gave Niu Jizong another look, and Niu Jizong took out another two thousand taels of silver tickets and stuffed them.
"Alas, for the sake of your sincerity, the old man will give up this old face and do this for you in front of the emperor."
Hmph, Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng, you embarrassed me, this time, I will return your color. Let you know that I'm not a fool.
"In the end, it is still the boss who has face in front of the emperor, and he deserves to be the Tianwen Sect. I'll wait for the juniors to respect the elders for a cup. ”
"Okay, let's drink this cup together."
Everyone raised their glasses together and drank for a while.
"But I don't want to hear you call me sir. Am I really that old? ”
"Naturally, he is not old, and even everyone in the valley admires Luo Hanlin very much. often tells us that if you can recommend a pillow at Luo Hanlin, you will have no regrets in this life. ”
"Gu family, is this really the case?"
Luo Hanlin stared at Gu Panpan in confusion.
"Naturally, the slave family can't ask for it, and only hopes that the adults will have mercy."
Gu Panpan threw a wink at Luo Hanlin in time.
After a few more rounds, Luo Hanlin couldn't wait, so he and Gu Panpan withdrew first, leaving Niu Jizong and the others to continue eating.
"Alas, this hot potato has finally been thrown out."
Niu Jizong's mood suddenly relaxed.
"Yes, this time it's time for Tajiafu to be uncomfortable. Aren't they able to make money, aren't there people in the palace, this time, it's up to them to fill this big hole. ”
This plan was successful, and Liu Fang was very proud.
"However, after all, we lost a lot of money, and we also hurt our vitality. It's just that I don't know what price Jia Fu will give us after accepting it? ”
"If Jia Min comes forward, this business will not be easy to discuss, that guy is too shrewd. If one is not careful, I am afraid that he will be asked to calculate. It would have been much easier if someone else had come forward. It's better for Baoyu to come forward, and we can catch a fool and recover some losses. ”
In this way, Brother Liu will think of another way, and when he contacts the Jia family in the future, it is best not to ask Jia Min to come forward. Come, have a drink! ”
Niu Jizong was in a hearty mood and took the lead in drinking.
