Chapter 375: Yan Song
"The villain has heard of Lord Qin's prestige for a long time, and today is the time to meet, I didn't expect Lord Qin to be so young, he is really a talent, he is a young talent of the Ming Dynasty, and the villain admires him so much." The person who came spoke in a clear voice, looking like a decent man and a gentleman.
Qin Li's wedding was set up with a ceremonial table. But all those who come to the Qin Mansion to congratulate must register the number of congratulatory gifts at the ceremony. At the table, there is a special person who is responsible for receiving gifts and gifts.
Although Qin Li didn't know the person who came, he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only learn about it when he registered at the ceremony.
The man seemed to have already guessed Qin Li's thoughts, and after a few words of greeting with Qin Li, he went directly to the table.
At this time, it was completely dark, after all, it was the wedding day, and the Qin Mansion had already lit up the candles, illuminating the entire Qin Mansion with a brilliant light, as bright as day. It can be described as a colorful lantern, although those homeless people still come to Qinfu in an endless stream to dine, but at this time there is a bit of a festive atmosphere of the wedding.
In charge of the ceremonial table was the Seven Tigers. Don't look at the seven tigers, but they are flexible, and their martial arts are really not weak. The most important thing is that he is the only one among the eleven tigers who has read books, knows words, and is very literate. He is mainly responsible for receiving gifts and gifts at the ceremonial table. The person who registered his name and gift money was a bookkeeper hired from the capital.
"Yan Song's silver ten taels!" The man was still in a hearty voice.
But it was such a very hearty voice, but it made Qin Li tremble. Looking at Yan Song, his eyes suddenly became dull.
Obediently and loudly, this person is Yan Song, the biggest traitor in this era that my Qin Li traveled over should be this person, right? He appeared at this time, and what people didn't expect was that he actually appeared in this way, he turned out to be the first person to congratulate Qin Li on me. And judging by what he was wearing, he shouldn't be very rich. But he actually gave a gift of ten taels of silver at once. What does this mean? It shows that he, Yan Song, wants to befriend me Qin Li.
Yan Song in history was a big traitor, but now I have been in the capital for so long, and I have traveled through the Ming Dynasty for so long, but I have never heard of Yan Song, let alone what he has to do with the people and the court.
It's no wonder that the current Yan Song is a small Nanjing Hanlin Academy. He used to be an editor, don't look at the level of the Hanlin Academy's editor, but he is the closest person to the imperial cabinet. It stands to reason that Yan Song should mix well.
But the fact is just the opposite, Yan Song is a miserable person in the Hanlin Courtyard in the capital. I really can't get mixed up, and now he is even worse mixed up, and he has become a student in the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing. Although the level of the Hanlin Academy has gone up, he is an official from the fifth grade, and Zhao Wenhua is at the same level. But far away from the capital, away from the center of power and economy, the future is really worrying.
How did Yan Song get mixed up like this? This is inseparable from Yan Song's past experience and his character and temperament.
Yan Song was born in the sixteenth year of Chenghua and is a native of Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture. He was born into a poor family. My father and mother are authentic peasant women, and they are wrapped in a difficult life with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky all day long.
It stands to reason that Yan Song lives in such a family, and it is impossible for him to go to school and study, and he cannot achieve anything.
However, there are many things in this world that cannot be speculated according to common sense, let alone conclusions based on people's subjective assumptions.
Although Yan Song's family is poor, this guy has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has a bit of a brain. There is a buffalo at home, and Yan Song has been herding cattle since he was a child, while going to the private school in the village to take classes.
The so-called skipping class is to eavesdrop on the outside of the private school, and you don't have to pay tuition.
Speaking of which, Yan Song is also a very persevering person, and he has been eavesdropping on his husband's lectures outside the private school for two years. His behavior not only touched his mother, but also the gentleman of the private school.
Mother made up her mind to let Yan Song study. The gentleman of the private school accepted Yan Song as a student for free.
After two years of eavesdropping in private school, Yan Song was not only very interested in reading and writing, but also interested in sound rhythm. Yan Song is really smart enough, just two years of class, it is more than anyone who takes classes in a private school.
There is a village in the village, and the surname of the village is Han. Han Cunzheng is also a person who has been studying since he was a child, but his fate is not good, and he didn't pass the exam at the age of forty. Although he is an old child, he has read the Four Books and Five Classics for decades, and he still has a little bit of ink in his stomach.
Han Muramasa is very good at opposing things, and he has been friends with the gentleman of the private school for many years. One day, Han Cun was coming to the private school to hang out, and he suddenly wanted to test the students, so he took a mouth: "Guanshan is thousands of miles, the hometown is overnight, and the rain is silky." ”
The students in the private school meditated and meditated, but none of them could come up.
Yan Song, who was eavesdropping outside the door, responded casually: "The emperor is ninefold, the holy life is ten thousand years, and the sky is swinging." "Needless to say, that's right. Because of this incident, Yan Song suddenly became famous in the village.
It turns out that Mr. Private School's vision is very remarkable, and it is precisely because of accepting a free student like Yan Song in his life that he has the capital to sell to others. Some of the students he taught were admitted to the Jinshi examination.
In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Yan Songxiang was tested. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Yan Song was selected as a Jinshi again, ranked second in the second class, was elected as a Shujishi, and entered the Hanlin Academy for further study.
The Jishi is a ladder, and only the Jinshi with good grades and good appearance can become one of them. If he becomes a scholar, he is very likely to become a member of the important courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Yan Song can be said to have shown his talent, and many scholars, including the cabinet minister Li Dongyang, have placed high praise on him, saying that he is "Xianwei and talented".
Yan Song really lived up to expectations, and in the second year of Zhengde, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, which can be regarded as a petty official.
may be because he is not used to Zhengde's deeds, you must know that Yan Song is also a little temperamental. It may also be that during the reign of the great eunuch Liu Jin, at the instigation of Jiao Fang, he adopted a policy of exclusion from the southern scholars, especially proposing "no abuse of Jiangxi people", Yan Song felt that his career was hopeless. Discouraged. In short, Yan Song actually resigned and quit, which can be regarded as an alternative.
The reason Yan Song found was that he was unwell, so he studied in seclusion in Qishan in Fenyi County, and he had been sick for about ten years.
Yan Song lived a relatively peaceful and impoverished life in Qishan.
"An official family is sick and sick, and several people bring their families to eat the old and poor." "Knowing things and learning to plant Nanyamada" can be said to be a portrayal of his living situation at that time.
When he was in Qishan, Li Mengyang once visited him and gave him a poem, "Asking Qi is quite similar to Yangxiong's house, and sobering up is really light Li Xiangzhuang." Yan Songhe's poem is: "The remote chaimen can be a horse, and the poor banana leaves can be used for books." The warbler flower is on the wine in the spring twilight, and the wind is elegant and hears the sound for more than 100 generations. ”
Living such an idyllic life, it is natural to be "quite famous".
But did Yan Song really live in seclusion like this, living an ordinary life but remaining alive? He is clearly not such a character.
In the seventh year of Zhengde, Yan Song finally couldn't stand it anymore, and Yao Ting, the prefect of Yuanzhou Prefecture, started to cultivate his ambition and asked Yan Song to be the chief editor. Yan Song didn't say a word before he went out of the mountain.
It's no wonder that he has been holding it for too long, and if he continues to hold it like this, I'm afraid that his grandmother's life will really be over. Isn't it really useless to read so many books in this life?
Yan Song doesn't want to live his life like this, he still wants to make a difference in Daming.
Yan Song went out of the mountain, and he became an editor-in-chief all of a sudden, which can be described as a great teacher. Just when Yan Song was full of confidence and was ready to do a big job, something happened.
It can be said that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and Yao Ting, who used Yan Song, died. This guy died in office as the prefect of Yuanzhou. Yao Ting died, and the matter of compiling the book came to an end. There was no way, Yan Song had no choice but to return to Fenyi and continue to live in seclusion.
No way, wait! He believes that there are people in this world after all. Didn't Jiang Ziya come out of the mountains at the age of eighty to make a difference? I, Yan Song, am only in my thirties, and I still have a long time to go.
It may be that Yan Song's mentality is too good, God may favor him, and in the second year, Xu Lian succeeded him as the prefect.
Xu Lian succeeded as the prefect, and Yan Song was happy all of a sudden.
Yan Song and Xu Lian were Jinshi in the same year, but Xu Lian was not fortunate enough to become a Jishi. But Xu Lian is a prosperous official, and in just over ten years, he has become a member of the imperial court.
The relationship between Xu Lian and Yan Song is called an iron, and the two of them don't know why they just talk about live speculation. It's a very simple thing, after Xu Lian arrived, he kept sending letters to ask Yan Song to continue compiling the government chronicles.
Yan Song is really competitive, willing to endure hardships, after eight months of hardship, it was completed in the ninth year of Zhengde. Yan Song served as the chief compiler, and the year was the year of Jiaxu, so people called it Jiaxu Zhi. Later generations called "Zhengde Yuanzhou Mansion Chronicle".
With this Jiazhu Zhi, Yan Song can be said to have political capital, and more importantly, a Jiazhu Zhi has made Yan Song famous all over the world, from obscurity to everyone knows, and more importantly, many people in the court have long forgotten Yan Song.
In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Yan Song was also reinstated.
At the beginning of the reinstatement, Yan Song was still so hard-boned, not into the stream, he was more critical of the government at that time, he mentioned many times, "Between righteousness and morality, the suffering of the world is as good as the demon monk."
Boom! What kind of rebellious rhetoric is this "rebellious demon monk"? Why didn't Zhengde take this seriously at that time, and the environment of Daming at that time was still like this, and speech was very free.
Yan Song also hated and criticized many of Zhengde's other practices.
Zhengde ordered the transportation of Nanmu to the north, and Yan Song wrote: "Today, there are thousands of giant Nanmu trees in the Hunan Yundian Palace, and the raft drags the flag and goes up the stream. Nan is the hardest one around the zhang, 50 feet long, and there is a strange sound between the heaven and the earth. However, this wood is a tree, and the mountain is cut down and transported to the land and water here, and it costs hundreds of gold. ”
Saying this, Zhengde Longyan was furious, and Zhengde couldn't bear it anymore. How can you say that there can't be a person like this in the capital who is always making noise in your ears, right? In the case of unbearable circumstances, Zhengde drove Yan Song out of the capital.
Of course, Yan Song didn't make any big mistakes after all, he just said a few words that didn't like him. Zhengde still didn't want to treat him badly, so he got him an official who studied in the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing, and he was an official from the fifth grade.
Yan Song is now forty years old, and over the years, although he has not yet mixed up with the appearance of a person, it has also attracted the attention of many discerning people among the courtiers.
At the same time, although Yan Song got an idle job in Nanjing, his desire to be motivated and eager to be a big official has not changed. His energy and fighting spirit have not diminished at all, but have increased. It is precisely because of this psychology that Yan Song pays close attention to the situation in the court and the major events in the world.
He got the news that Zhengde's body was getting worse and worse, and the smart Yan Song immediately pondered the future situation.
You must know that although Zhengde is absurd, there has never been a shortage of beauties around him. But Zhengde has no son. Zhengde has no son, so after he dies, the world will ......
Qin Li and Guo Xun competed at the wedding, although Yan Song was far away in Nanjing, he got the news early. It was only then that Qin Li's name began to appear in Yan Song's mind.
Qin Li is just an inconspicuous small character, but such a small character has the courage to argue with Guo Xun, which shows that Qin Li must have a power behind him that cannot be underestimated. Because of observing and analyzing Qin Li's past, Qin Li is not only not a madman, but a person who is very lucky and has a very flexible brain.
Too many people have gone to Guo Xun's mansion, but Qin Li has brought countless homeless people to eat, which can be regarded as increasing his popularity.
That's a homeless person, and the homeless person should have been outside the city. But they came into the city in an organized and orderly manner. The exiles enter the city, which requires the decree of the emperor or the queen mother. Who dares to let the exiles in without their will?
When he thought of this, Yan Song immediately became clear. He muttered, "Amazing, what a powerful Qin Li, the winner this time must be you!" ”
Hehe! Let those ignorant people, those who are not good at using their brains in trouble, die. Only when they all die, can I, Yan Song, become a bigger official in the Ming Dynasty and gain more rights.
After thinking about the joints, what else did Yan Song hesitate about? Almost as soon as he arrived in the capital, he came to congratulate Qin Li.
Facing Yan Song's slightly flattering face, Qin Li was speechless. He thought to himself, this guy is a traitor, but he is very good to me now. He trusted me very much. The first one came to congratulate me, this is to put everything on me Qin Li, could it be that I, Qin Li, will take revenge, and first send someone to kill this Yan Song? so as not to appear a great traitor in history.
Alas! History is history after all, and maybe the trajectory of history has changed slightly because of its own arrival? Yan Song may become a loyal minister?
Thinking like this, Qin Li hurriedly stepped forward and took Yan Song's hand enthusiastically, very happy.
was about to let Yan Song into the house, ready to communicate with Yan Song. The little guy guarding the door suddenly came and said excitedly, "Manager Huang, Lord Qin, a person named Hai Rui is here outside the door." He said that if Lord Qin didn't pick him up in person, he wouldn't come in! (To be continued.) )
