Chapter 21: On the Study of Qionglin I (II)

[After writing it at two o'clock in the morning, there was a problem with the Zongheng network, so I can only send it now]

Han Gang paused, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. Unexpectedly, at the palace banquet, he was called by his name and surname.

This is not a thousand years later, it is normal to call names and surnames, and those who are close to them call their names more directly, and omit their surnames. In this era, the name is directly called among the peers, that is, it is scolding people - adding the word "obscure" after what "name" is taboo! Elders can call juniors by their names, but it's not a common thing, and it's basically used when scolding. The same is true for those of high status.

Wang Anshi and Wang Shao have always called Han Gang, and even the Son of Heaven also said Han Qing. The word 'Han Gang', to be honest, is more often when he calls himself. The person who came directly called Han Gang's name was indeed within the scope of etiquette, but it could be seen from the title that he did not have good intentions.

He was in his early forties, with big ears and three long beards, and was very majestic. The belt of the impendum is wrapped with gold wire, but there is no fish bag - neither a goldfish bag nor a whitebait bag. Han Gang Zhilu said, this is not his position is low, but after the official rank is as high as the bachelor's level, he will not be worthy of a fish bag when he travels, only a gold belt. It wasn't until the two mansions were promoted that the fairy flower belt and the goldfish bag were worn together, which was called 'heavy gold'.

The little official who was serving wine behind Han Gang reminded him in a low voiceβ€”this is also one of their jobsβ€”"This is Yang Hanlin, and the one who painted it is secret." ”

In fact, there is no need to remind it, Han Gang has already met once in the palace examination, and after following Wang Anshi, it is Yang Hua, a bachelor of Hanlin, who is the second and third class callers.

Yang Hui once served as a waiter in Baowen Pavilion, and later rose to become a bachelor of Hanlin. He is famous for his literary name in the DPRK and does not fit in with the New Party. Other than that, Han Gang didn't know much about him. But Yang Hui's tone was so impulsive, it was easy to think about. Don't dare to make a mistake in front of Wang Anshi again, and show your style and bones in front of Han Gang, which can be regarded as drawing a clear position.

This is the result of being the son-in-law of the king's prime minister. Han Gang avoided the table and stepped forward half a step to greet him. Yang Hui was rude, but he couldn't be rude: "Han Gang visits the bachelor." ”

Bending over, I saw Yang Hui arch his hand as a return gift, Han Gang's expression did not move, but his eyes were three points cold: "I don't know what advice the bachelor has?" ”

"Nothing else." At this time, Yang Hui changed to a pleasant face: "After the banquet, the imperial poems of the Son of Heaven will be awarded, I don't know what is inconvenient about you, Han Yukun?" ”

According to the story, at the Qionglin banquet, the Son of Heaven would give a poem to the Jinshi, and in order to thank the Son of Heaven for the gift, the Jinshi had to present a poem to the Son of Heaven.

When Yang Hui came to see Han Gang, the surrounding Jinshi were all alarmed. As soon as he heard Yang Hui's inquiry, the corners of his mouth pursed into a smile and his ears pricked up.

is also a court official, it is too much to call his name all the time, and it is inconvenient for Yang Hui to do so. But he directly asked Han Gang if he could compose a poem next, which was a slap in the face in public. Han Gang is famous for not knowing poetry. Under normal circumstances, Han Gang either swallowed this breath with a smile, or tried to change the topic to his advantage and then fight back - who told him that it was impossible for him to be unprepared, and the letter pen swiped a work that could be seen by people.

However, to make poems at the Qionglin banquet is a rule handed down from the Qujiang banquet in the Tang Dynasty, and Han Gang expected it. For this reason, he has read Qionglin's poems over the years, and the courtiers and the rhetoric commonly used in the poems have memorized it, as long as it is not some dangerous rhyme, there is a way to deal with the past.

Han Gang is not good at poetry, but only relatively. He knows where his shortcomings are, but he doesn't think of a way to make up for it for three years, and he is not so stupid. In the past three years, how many official documents has he written? The pen power has been practiced for a long time! It is important to know that the official document of Ludao also pays attention to writing. Han Gang's lack of literary talent is compared with those Confucian students who can enter high school, not that he can't do poetry at all - the reason why he has always claimed that he is not good at poetry is to give himself a way out, but when things are forced to his head, he has the ability to bite back or jump over the wall.

Han Gang's confidence at the beginning was the same, but there were still people who were worried about him. The sentence that Wang Shao brought back the day before yesterday made Han Gang know the exam questions in advance. The imperial poems issued today, of course, could not have been written in a hurry by Zhao Ji this morning, they were all prepared a few days in advance, and they were not military secrets, so they could be easily found out - no one would have thought that someone would cheat on this matter.

So yesterday, Han Gang used this rhyme, thought hard for a day, and made a few poems. After revising it, Wang Shao evaluated it, and nodded and said that it was barely reasonable - Qionglin's poems were originally like that, if they were not talents of the level of Wang and Su, it would be difficult for anyone to write well.

Therefore, when Han Gang replied to Yang Hui, he was full of confidence, still with a humble smile, but he did not hesitate to answer: "Although Han Gang does not know poetry, but the story is like this, he should prevaricate with a perfunctory article." ”

"Perfunctory, prevarication?!" Yang Hui's tone became excited, and he asked sharply: "Han Gang, you are highly favored by the Son of Heaven, can't you use your heart to follow the previous one?!" ”

"This ...... It was indeed Han Gang's gaffe. ”

Han Gang admitted that he was not, and his eyebrows furrowed a little. He knew that this was a gaffe, but Yang Yi grasped this point to attack, and it was close to the prison of words, which was a little too much. Although the officialdom does not pay attention to a group of harmony, who is it to embarrass himself with such a clear banner?

Seeing Han Gang frowning and silent, Yang Hui smiled even more proudly, and his salutation became more and more intimate: "That's it, I believe it's Yukun's unintentional fault." It's just that I heard recently that Yukun, you were robbed by a group of scholars on the Qingfeng Tower the day before yesterday and were about to resign from Jinshi, which is a loss of dignity in the court. ”

According to the rumors that spread in the past two days, Han Gang was forced to resign from Jinshi and Di on Qingfeng Tower. This kind of nonsense, many people are shaking their heads and not believing it, how can anyone drop the title of Jinshi. But while they scoffed, they still spread this rumor out and used it as a good talking point to chew on the root of their tongues. It's none of my business, of course, I'm happy to spread Han Gang's jokes.

So when Yang Hui exposed this in public, everyone around wanted to see how Han Gang defended himself.

"Rumors stop at the wise." Han Gang was not in a hurry or angry, and replied calmly, not saying a second sentence.

Everyone around them turned their eyes back to Yang Hui's face, and looked at the face of Master Hanlin and immediately looked ugly. 'Believe in the wisdom of the bachelor, and do not believe such rumors.' Such similar words were used to soften the aggressive tone, and Han Gang was clearly scolding.

"It's about the decency of the imperial court, so I have to ask more." Yang Hui's voice was cold.

"If you ruin the reputation of the court, you have to ask questions. Such rumors just ruined Han Gang's reputation. Han Gang didn't care, so why should the bachelor take it to heart. Han Gang smiled, clearly saying, 'It's your business'. and further refutes Yang Hui: "The rumors are nonsense, and they should be discarded." That is, if you ask each other, it is already a mistake. Han Gang is brave, and he hopes that the bachelor will think deeply! ”

As he spoke, he bowed. I don't know what Yang Hui thinks, and what plans he has in his heart. From your own side, it is easier to solve the problem by turning your face directly. Anyway, at the moment, Yang Hui can't spit out ivory, and there will be no good words.

"What Yukun said is reasonable, Yang Huidang will think deeply." Yang Hui smiled gently, "Yukun's eloquence is deeply rooted in the teachings of Hengqu Zhang Zihou." I still remember that Zhang Zihou sat on the tiger skin in Luoyang and gave a lecture, no one can compare! ”

This time it was Han Gang's turn to face changed, and there was finally a little more anger in his eyes. Speaking of the people who can really admire Han Gang in this era, the number of people is actually very small, only three or five people, but Zhang Zai is definitely one of them. If Yang Hui just can't get along with himself, it's just a few words of fighting, and he will never suffer if he talks about it. Now that he actually attacked Zhang Zai, Han Gang couldn't tolerate it.

"The family teacher has studied the principles of life and life, and it is getting newer and newer day by day. In his learning, he inherited the holy Taoism of the ancestors and explored the avenue of heaven and man; Teach his disciples the art of righteousness and governance. Han Gang can't be taught by his teacher, how can he be effective in the talent of the Son of Heaven?! ”

Han Gang was furious for Jang Jae. But Zhang Zai's reputation, after all, is only limited to Guanzhong, and there are no high-ranking officials and ministers in Tokyo to promote it.

"The Avenue of Heaven and Man?" Yang Hui smiled, "The Jin people do have a saying that 'famous religion comes from nature', but it has gradually fallen into fantasy, and in the future, it will corrupt famous religion, and Confucianism will sink for a hundred years, which is the credit of these people, I just hope that Zhang Zihou will not repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”

Han Gang confronted: "The way of Gewu pays attention to empirical evidence, which is completely different from metaphysics. The bachelor makes judgments, but they are reduced to speculation. ”

"Speculation?!"

Yang Hui laughed loudly. Han Gang wanted to stuff Zhang Zai into the Jingyi Bureau in front of the Son of Heaven, and this matter had already spread among the important ministers. Yang Huiben meant to see Wang Anshi's jokes, and it was not common for sons-in-law to rebel. But now, he doesn't mind doing Wang Anshi a favor.

In the laughter, Han Gang was as calm as ever. The half-narrowed eyelids covered the look in the eyes that began to calculate people's hearts. He controlled himself, and his anger was only for a short moment, and now he could settle down and think about how to take advantage of the situation.

The theory of Gewu is still limited to Luoyang and Hengqu, and has not been widely spread. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Gang also has the intention to retreat and widen it, and then help Zhang Zai pave the way. The most important thing in physics is to empirically prove it, but ordinary people have all kinds of misunderstandings about the world, and Han Gang does not lack the means to deal with Yang Hui.

As long as Yang Hui is hooked, it is enough to spread the theory of Gewu to the world.

Han Gang looked coldly at Yang Hui, who was smiling indulgently, and a sarcastic smile condensed at the corner of his mouth. Just let his reputation ...... Become the first victim of scientific progress!
