Chapter Ninety-Seven: Becoming an Official
The craftsmen of the Song Dynasty and the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are not the same concept. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ming Dynasty was an era of highly solidified and classified population, and the business engaged in by the family, according to the rules of Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, could not be changed from generation to generation.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no such solidified household registration management system, and it was the freest era of horizontal and vertical population movement in China for 5,000 years.
Horizontal freedom refers to the mobility of people between regions. As long as you can find a suitable occupation in a new area, you can move freely, and you don't need to apply for official documents and passes like passports for travel between cities.
Vertical freedom refers to the freedom to engage in the industry, you can choose any profession that you can give full play to, so the craftsman is also the result of free choice, in fact, more precisely, it should be the meaning of the craftsman workshop small businessman.
During this visit to Chen Qi, Fang Zhongyong was disappointed, but he still received a gift - that is, a complete set of "drum kits" that had been reintegrated according to his design patterns.
……
Xia Zhu invited Lu Yijian, who had just returned to Beijing, to have a family banquet in the "Wine Pond Meat Forest" that he had carefully set up.
Taking care of Lu Yijian's personal taste of eating chicken tongue, all the chicken tongues hanging under the eaves of the house this time are quite magical and mysterious.
With chicken tongues, Lu Yijian and Xia Zhu started a chat that was not very unique.
"Lu Xianggong has worked hard all the way." Xia Zhu changed from the flow of Qushui at home to the flow of Qu Liquor, bowed down to pick up a bucket of fine wine, gently leaked into the wine jug, poured out two glasses, one in his hand, and one in Lu Yijian's hand.
Lu Yijian politely took the wine glass, raised his glass with both hands, and toasted the glass very elegantly to Xia Zhu, and then said with no joy or anger in his expression:
"Where the old man works hard, it is all the credit of Lord Xia for doing things on his behalf, Lord Xia's action is really extraordinary, even a hard bone like Han Qi can control it."
When Xia Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile cunningly:
Although his actions made Han Qi not stand on Fan Zhongyan's side for a while, it could be regarded as a good match, and he couldn't say how clever he was.
Lu Yijian's superficial words of approval actually wanted to tell him that although he Lu Yijian had just entered Beijing, he knew all the causes and consequences of all kinds of cats in Beijing, and no one wanted to play tricks.
"Tomorrow, Lu Xianggong will be reinstated. With you, there is also Fang Zhongyong, the champion of the current department, although he is a bachelor of Hanlin and a minor official from the sixth grade, but this person is very close to Ouyang Xiu and others, and he is very sacred.
In the past, we have put his knife again, and you have to be careful. ”
When Xia Zhu said this, the one he had seen appeared in front of him, an unguessable prodigy boy.
"Nothing. In the world, where are the eternal political enemies? There are also no eternal allies. If he can get this Fang Zhongyong, it is naturally good, if not, with him as a newcomer, how much waves can he set off? Lu Yijian's lips were slightly filled with disdain.
Xia Zhu, who was the secretary of the ministry at the time, saw Lu Yijian say this, presumably he had a plan in his heart, so he began to talk about the arrangements of some personnel in today's science and technology jinshi:
"Shen Kuo, introverted, cautious, bent on self-preservation, not a troubled person, sent to Kaifeng Mansion Bao Zheng to work for two years to see the situation; Tanhualang Sima Guang is an interesting and extremely smart person, and he was arranged to be a deputy under Pang Ji, and he also took a good look at Pang Ji. ”
Lu Yijian tore off another piece of chicken tongue with chopsticks, and smiled slightly: "Pang Ji? A stinky, hard stone. It's okay to let a newcomer go through the experience, you don't have to do anything deliberately, just wait for the opportunity. ”
"What Lu Xianggong said is extremely true." Xia Zhu laughed and went to fight another bucket of wine.
After the two finished talking, Mr. Cang led a group of maids dressed in tulle, hollow inside, and only hanging "Victoria's Secret Angel underwear", and stepped forward to serve delicately. For a while, the intoxication of fine wine and the gasp of coquettishness were everywhere.
……
Fang Zhongyong's first day in the court was very unfazed.
Although he followed the steps step by step, he had a new understanding: there are also advantages to cultivating living notes
For example, you will have heard and understood the overall government affairs, and have a certain understanding of the handling and direction of the overall situation.
Moreover, you can subtly influence the emperor's mind, as Sima Guangxiu did when he was in the first place.
Eventually, you'll have some exposure to the Imperial Physicians, Eunuchs, and Guards.
To sum up, given the unique nature of this work, Fang Zhongyong faintly felt, "What are Renzong's several major illnesses?" Why didn't Renzong have a son? These two unsolved mysteries will gradually find clues in the process of their own work.
According to historical records, Renzong's serious illness included several coma, a time when he ran out of the palace gate alone and shouted "The queen harms me", suspected of conjecture, and finally died.
According to the interpretation of later historians, some people believe that it was a stroke, while others believe that it is hysteria.
However, professional medical students slapped both views in the face, arguing that neither was the case.
The reason is that if it is a coma in the theory of Western medicine in later generations, then there should be no ability to eat and drink, there were no measures such as hanging needle infusion at that time, and it is impossible to survive in a coma for more than ten days, so the coma recorded in the ancient pulse case is very different from the coma in later generations.
As a result, what strange diseases Renzong suffered from has become a historical mystery.
And why Renzong didn't give birth to a son is even more confusing.
First of all, Renzong gave birth to sons, but all three sons died young. In this way, the congenital abnormality of Renjong's Y chromosome was ruled out first, which led to the idea that he could only give birth to a daughter.
So, what is the reason why Renzong finally has no son, and the cause of illness and death is full of suspicions?
There is a good reason why everyone pays special attention to these two issues.
Because Comrade Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who had no son, he was finally forced to choose an adopted son with a personal face and a beast's heart -- that is, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu succeeded him.
Traveling to the Renzong Dynasty and not changing Zhao Shu - now he is still called Zhao Zongshi, and the ascension of this hypocrite-faced gentleman will be in vain.
Of course, you have to take it one step at a time.
……
Fang Zhongyong went down to the court, returned home, bypassed the pink oil shadow wall, and saw Wang Ziyue knotting ropes under the moon to make needles, and on the stone table next to him, there were many exquisite jewelry made by skillful hands, which made Fang Zhongyong praise again and again in his heart.
He walked over lightly and sat down on the edge of Wang Ziyue.
When Wang Ziyue saw him coming back, she was not polite, and smiled: "Master Laofang, you sit back and block my moonlight." ”
Fang Zhongyong was very comforted to see that her face was ruddy now, and she was also healthy and in good spirits. So he moved his body, sat down on a stone bench in the back, and then, slowly pondering, said the words in his heart:
