Chapter 326: Yang Shen

The person Qin Li met head-on was in his thirties, very Sven, wearing an official hat on his head, but he was wearing a cyan gown, which was a casual dress. Under a pair of thick black eyebrows is a pair of dark eyes, which can be described as very handsome.

Just like seeing Yang Tinghe, just a few glances at this person, Qin Li thought that he must be Yang Qimeng's brother Yang Shen.

How to say that in later generations, Qin Li also read books for more than 20 years, although he studied in a third-rate university, but for Yang Shen, a famous genius in the Ming Dynasty, he still has to know. His name is even louder than the name of his father Yang Tinghe!

As early as in later generations, Qin Li knew the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty very well, and this Yang Shen was one of the three great talents. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, in terms of erudition and talent, it is nothing more than Xie Jin, Yang Shen, and Xu Wei. But if it is really compared, Yang Shen's knowledge is the most profound. Enough to rank first.

To illustrate that these three great talents of the dynasty, any one of them is a well-known role. Xie Jin, the chief compiler of the Yongle Canon, is recognized as the first in erudition. Yang Shen, a super talent, should be rated as the first in the expo, known as "no book, no reading". Xu Wei is a versatile person, proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, and the art of war. This brother is also about to appear, so I won't mention it here.

Yang Tinghe's son, Yang Shen, was born in November of the first year of the reign of Ming Xiaozong. He has been brilliant since he was a child, and he can be called a prodigy. This guy has had a problem since he was a child, that is, he is very studious, and he belongs to the kind of person who has great grades and studies extremely hard. Such a person should be the teacher's favorite in the future generations.

Young Yang Shen naturally hadn't studied or gone to school at the time, but he was also the favorite of his father Yang Tinghe. With such a smart child at home, Yang Tinghe is happy all day long.

At that time, Yang Tinghe naturally had not yet become the first assistant of the cabinet of the imperial court, although he was not the first assistant. But the official position is really not low. At that time, Yang Tinghe was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Wuyingdian University. It's also a very good character. Yang Shen can be said to have been born in a scholarly family, but coincidentally, Yang Shen's mother is also a famous lady and a very virtuous and intelligent woman. Since he was a child, his mother has been seriously teaching Yang Shen to read sentences and quatrains of Tang Dynasty poetry.

It is precisely because of a good family education since childhood that Yang Shen was able to write near-body poems when he was eleven years old. When he was twelve years old, he wrote "Hanging Ancient Battlefield Text", which has the epigram "The soul of the green building is broken and the red powder is broken, and the bones of the green moss shine in a hundred days".

It is said that Yang Shen's family can be described as an official family, and his grandfather's name is Yang Chun, who is the supervisor of Huguang University. Yang Shen also had an uncle named Yang Ruihong, who was the military squire of the imperial court at that time. Yang Ruihong greatly appreciated Yang Shen's "Hanging Ancient Battlefield Text" after reading it. After getting his uncle's appreciation, little Yang Shen was a little fluttering and proud.

He was so proud that he was interested again, and soon made another "Treatise on the Passage of Qin". OMG! As soon as this "On the Passage of Qin" came out, Yang Shen's grandfather Yang Chun was very surprised after reading it, and said at that time, "Yang Shen is the Jia Yi of my Yang family." ”

One day, Yang Tinghe and Yang Ruihong were looking at the painting in the hall, and Yang Ruihong suddenly had a whim and asked Yang Shen to improvise a poem against the painting. Yang Shen just thought about it for a while, and then he opened his mouth and came, "The landscape is really picturesque, and the famous hand Dan Qinghua is real; It is difficult to distinguish the dream from the royal court, and the shadow is given to the Jin poet. "This guy is twelve years old and can become a poem in an instant. It must be said that it is indeed extraordinary.

In a blink of an eye, Yang Shen was thirteen years old, and his father Yang Tinghe was also going to enter Beijing as an official, and Yang Shen followed Yang Tinghe into Beijing. On the way to Beijing, Yang Shen's poems flourished, and he wrote many famous articles, which were praised by later generations. Such as "Farewell Poem to Weicheng", "Frost Leaf Fu" and so on. Among them, "Yellow Leaf Poems" is a sensation in Beijing. At that time, Li Dongyang, the leader of the Chaling Poetry School and the first assistant of the imperial cabinet, was very appreciative of this poem, and was very happy to include Yang Shen as a disciple.

When Yang Shen was twenty-one years old, he took the examination, and the examiners Wang Ao and Liang Chu had already rated Yang Shen's article as the first.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty and modern times, it was very different. Now the son is more valuable than the father, and having a good father is better than anything else. Modern society is an era of fighting fathers, there is no good father, and it is difficult to kill a piece of the world in this materialistic and rapidly developing society with their true skills! It's too hard! It's too hard!

Having a good father is all this a problem, and it can save you years, decades, or even a lifetime of struggle. That's why there is a saying that there are two generations of officials, two generations of officials, three generations of officials, and three generations of officials.

The Ming era was different. At that time, it was not a spelling father, as long as you had a father who was an official, especially a father who was a big official. If my son wants to take the imperial examination, hum! It's okay to say if you don't pass the exam, if you really pass the exam, then the matter will come.

Rumors are spreading, oops! This kid should have relied on his dad to get in, right? His dad couldn't have stolen the test papers, or moved out of them, right?

Even if you don't rely on your dad at all, and you rely entirely on yourself, that's not okay. As the saying goes, the crowd is gold, and the bones are destroyed. Spit stars can smash people to death! What's more, officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is a very dangerous place. Political opponents will firmly grasp this reason and make a big fuss. Of course, it is not enough to let the emperor know, it is inevitable to investigate you.

It is precisely for this reason that if there is a father who is an official in the Ming Dynasty, then you should stay honestly! It won't be your turn until your dad is (retired) that it's your turn to shine. At that time, you can only participate in the scientific examination, and then even if you win the top prize, no one will say anything. The only thing that can be said is that you have real talent and learning, and you are the material for being an official!

But Yang Shen is an outlier. His grandfather was a big official in Huguang, and his father was a secretary of the imperial court, so he was also a second-class official. According to common sense, if Yang Shen participates in the scientific examination and has a reputation, it should be a solicitation of right and wrong!

But this is what happened to others, but it didn't work for Yang Shen! In everyone's minds, if Yang Shen wins the champion, then it is natural, and it should be normal.

Hehe! This shows how famous Yang Shen was at that time. There are even many people who don't know Yang Tinghe, but they know Yang Shen.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Shen did not pass the first exam. Originally, Wang Ao and Liang Chu rated Yang Shen first. Unexpectedly, the candle fell on the exam paper that night, burning Yang Shen's exam paper, so that Yang Shen made a name for Sun Shan.

Maybe this is a joke that history deliberately played to Yang Shen, or it may be that there have been many good things since ancient times, and there may be a test of Yang Shen's character. It turns out that Yang Shen has withstood the test, very simple things, Yang Shen is a very relaxed person. Since I didn't pass the exam this time, it's okay, I'll come back next time. I'm only twenty-one years old anyway, so I have time. Young, young is capital!

So, three years later, when Yang Shen was twenty-four years old, he retook the entrance examination. Fortunately, this time the candle flower did not burn the exam paper, and Yang Shen won the championship in one fell swoop in the palace examination, and he was the top student in high school.

After winning the champion, it is logical that Yang Shen will be an official. first became a Shujishi and became an editor of the Hanlin Academy. Since then, Yang Shen has stepped onto the political stage of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, although this benevolent brother is extremely smart, he has experienced ups and downs in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no exaggeration to say that Yang Shen is a failure in the officialdom.

Perhaps it was the failure in the officialdom that made Yang Shen one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty an achievement, and let many well-known excellent poems be passed down.

……

It is said that Yang Shen is Qimeng's own brother, and he can be regarded as his eldest brother. Moreover, this guy is talented and quite famous in history, Qin Li had a good impression of Yang Shen from the beginning and had the heart to make friends.

Yang Shen was naturally very clear about his sister Qimeng's fall in love with Qin Li. Although Yang Shen is smart, his brain is a little rigid. In Yang Shen's view, the major event of marriage is to have the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Qin Li and Qimeng fell in love freely, which made Yang Shen very disdainful and angry.

But anger to anger, and now this bold sister is leading her fiancΓ© through the door. What else can Yang Shen say? It is better to demolish ten temples than destroy the truth of a marriage, Yang Shen understands.

Moreover, Qin Li's name also grinded out a cocoon in Yang Shen's ears. It's no wonder that Yang Shen is a scholar, and Qin Li has come up with a set of advanced teaching methods for different grades and subjects. After careful study, Yang Shen was secretly surprised, and had to have admiration for Qin Li, a very young person.

Although he is well-read, if he really lets himself come up with such a new thing that adapts to modern development and promotes social progress, Yang Shen still can't.

After looking at Qin Li for a short time, Yang Shen couldn't help but nod lightly, secretly admiring his sister Qimeng's eyes.

To say that Qin Li is the best handsome guy is simply nonsense. Qin Li is an upper-average appearance. If he stood among many young men, Qin Li was definitely a very ordinary member.

Of course, the so-called ordinary refers to the appearance alone, if it is coupled with temperament, then Qin Li is going to stand out. Perhaps because of the well-informed traveler, Qin Li always exudes a mature temperament. It was a temperament that was very inappropriate for his age, and that mature temperament was what attracted many beauties.

What's more important is that Qin Li exudes a domineering spirit, which is precisely a man's masculinity and a man's charm. This kind of aura does not mean that it can be reflected with a tight face all the time, it is a kind of thing in the bones, which cannot be learned. Qin Li is a hippie smiling face many times, and there is no positive shape, but that kind of domineering is always there and everywhere.

Yang Shen nodded slightly, and secretly thought that this guy's momentum was not small, but he just didn't know if he was really talented, or if he was extraordinary.

When Yang Shen thought about it like this, he naturally had the idea of testing Qin Li. If it is said that Qin Li is examined, Yang Shen naturally has to investigate from the poetry and songs.

Qin Li could see Yang Shen's thoughts from Yang Shen's hesitant and then excited eyes.

Hehe! It is said that Qin Li is mixed in officialdom, and Yang Shen is also a person in officialdom. But there is still a big difference between them. Yang Shen is definitely a stunned blue type, happy and angry, and his inner reactions are all written on his face. This kind of performance alone can be said that Comrade Yang Shen is not an official!

But Qin Li is different. Although he has not been an official for a long time, he has learned a lot of skills that are scheming and calculating, and his joy and anger are invisible, although he has not yet perfected the realm, but his kung fu is really not shallow.

Because he guessed Yang Shen's thoughts, Qin Li was the first to speak, "Hey, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Lord Yang, my eldest brother, right?" ”

Boom! Qin Li, this guy is really casual. He and Yang Qimeng have not yet finished their marriage, so they call Yang Shen their eldest brother at this time.

Okay, Qin Li's title immediately made Qi Meng around him blush. She glanced at Qin Li with disgust, but the sweetness in her heart was indescribable.

Not only did Yang Qimeng's face turn red, but even Yang Shen's face turned red in an instant. It is said that Yang Shen is in his thirties, but his skin is very thin, and he is very easy to blush.

He thought to himself, oh my God! What's wrong with this world, how is it so open and advanced? He even called me uncle! It seems that the relationship between him and Meng'er is a certainty.

Qin Li asked very respectfully, as a famous family, Yang Shen of the scholarly family naturally couldn't lose his courtesy, and hurriedly bowed his hand slightly, "I am Yang Shen, the elder brother of Qimeng!" ”

Qin Li is a sixth-rank cloud cavalry captain, but although this Yang Shen is an editor of the Hanlin Academy, he is a small seventh-rank official. On the official position, Qin Li wants Yang Shen to be big! Therefore, Yang Shen was also very modest and spoke to Qin Li very respectfully.

"Qin Li has long heard that the eldest brother is only eight buckets, he is a great talent, and the eldest brother is the champion of my Ming Dynasty, Qin Li has already had admiration, but he hates to see each other late!" Qin Li said with a smile.

Qin Li is obviously slapping Yang Shen's sycophants.

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Yang Shen really felt beautiful in his heart when he heard it. He was about to frown and ask Qin Li a question, but Qin Li spoke first.

Yang Shen's question to test Qin Li naturally revolves around poetry and songs, although Qin Li does not read books and does not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, he has experienced a lot of such occasions. And every time Qin Li was able to turn the danger into a disaster, it gave people a big surprise. In the end, I have to admire Qin Li's poetry and poetry very much, thinking that Qin Li is a person with real talent, and he is by no means a person who has lost his name.

The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. To deal with this champion, the number one talent of the Ming Dynasty must strike first, and he must not be allowed to have a chance to fight back.

Qin Li opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, I suddenly got a few lines of poetry last night, and I always feel that some places are not appropriate, so I bother my uncle to give me some advice." ”

Yang Shen's eyes lit up in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, please talk face to face!" ”

His brother-in-law's name Qin Li was overjoyed. (To be continued.) )
