Chapter 0179: Pointing to the Maze
Li Ang's words are from the Tao Te Ching. As the saying goes, success is also detail, failure is also details, so if you want to achieve a career, you must start from simple things and start from the subtleties.
Details determine quality, this is the charm of details.
There is no doubt that with Li Bai's impulsive and romantic character, what he lacks is the patience to start from the subtleties, which can be seen from the song he just sang.
"Shame chasing the middle children of Chang'an Society, red chickens and white pheasants gamble on pear millet" It can be seen from this poem that he can't let go of his body.
And judging from Li Ang's experience, if he was ashamed to be in the company of Gongsun Jingyu's gentlemen, how could he be today?
Looking at Han Xin, Jia Yi, Guo Kui, Le Yi, etc. mentioned in his poems, most of them are people who soared to the sky and were suddenly reused by the king, it can be seen that Li Bai yearns for this kind of treatment, and disdains to start small.
Yuan Danqiu listened to Li Ang's words, stroked his beard and smiled silently.
Li Ang's heart moved, Yuan Danqiu is one of Li Bai's best friends, with his shrewdness, if he can't see Li Bai's flaws, Li Ang doesn't believe it, then why doesn't this guy persuade Li Bai?
Does he not want Li Bai to be trivial, or does he think that Li Bai's nature is difficult to change, and persuasion is useless?
Li Ang's persuasion this time seemed to be really useless, after Li Bai sang, he was already drunk and hazy, and he actually fell asleep in public, and he may not have heard what Li Ang said.
Li Ang had to personally send Li Bai home to sleep.
A huge banquet did not disperse until late in the evening. Because Li Bai and others suddenly appeared, Ma Qingquan had no chance to dig things from Li Ang, and his limelight was completely overshadowed by Master Li, and he was a little unhappy when he returned to the city.
At dusk, Li Ang tied the boat they were riding in to the port next to Hua's house.
Yang Nan rarely came to help, and tied the cable to the willow tree. She squatted on the bluestone slab and said while washing her hands: "You are going to participate in the imperial examination, why don't you tell me?" ”
"What's the use of saying it, and you don't help me." Li Ang simply sat down on the stone steps, then patted the bluestone slab next to him, and motioned for Yang Nan to sit up.
Yang Nan also sat down. said: "The county test and the state style, I won't help you, you have passed, but when it comes to the provincial test, it is not so simple." ”
It was rare for her to say such a thing to herself, and Li Ang rarely said seriously: "Girl, what do you know, tell me about it." ”
Yang Nan was born in a powerful family in the capital, and he was interested in the imperial examination. Naturally, I know a lot. She glanced at Li Ang and said: "The Ministry of Rites exam is similar to the state exam, the exam is just a formality, in fact, when taking a scholar, you don't look at the exam papers, but look at the family background, and reputation and status, you know this;
Especially in the Jinshi Section, there are only twenty or thirty people at a time, and there is no one before the examination. The basic quota has been divided among the elites in the capital. And those who can divide the quota are except for the royal relatives and relatives. Outside of the prince and princess, it depends on the faction in the court. ”
The emperor's relatives and relatives can't catch up with themselves, and the only thing they can count on now is to see if Gongsun Jin can recommend himself to Li Linfu.
Yang Nan seemed to know what he was thinking, looked at him with a pity and said, "I advise you not to have too much hope for the next year's exams." Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ”
Li Ang turned his head to look at her and smiled indifferently: "Girl, tell me what you know." It's good that I can adjust my mentality in advance. ”
Yang Nan saw that he was not too shocked by his words, and was a little relieved, she said: "The saint has been a little tired of politics in the past few years, and the dispute between the factions in the DPRK and China has become increasingly fierce, and the quota of the Jinshi Department is also a place where all factions must fight;
I know that you want to use Gongsun Jingyu's relationship to get the recommendation of Gongsun Jin, the servant of the ministry, if you don't do this, it's okay, once you ask Gongsun Jing for recommendation, you won't have a chance to be on the list. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Now the DPRK and China are divided into several factions, especially between Li Shizhi and Li Linfu, the left minister and the secretary of the military department, and the struggle is the most intense. Kaiyuan thought that according to the usual example, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites knew the tribute, if nothing else, the next year in the spring of the year will be the Ministry of Rites Lang Da Xi Xun main exam; And Da Xixun is a member of the faction of Zuo Prime Minister Li Shi, do you understand? ”
If Li Ang still doesn't understand this, he is a fool, he looks at the calm Huanhua Creek, but his heart is not calm.
Yang Nan estimated that he would definitely feel uncomfortable when he heard such news, but he still tried his best to explain: "As far as I know, aside from the factional dispute, there is already a personal grudge between Gongsun Jin and Da Xixun;
Da Xixun has been serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for several years, and the last time he was a scholar in the spring, Gongsun Jin had written to impeach Da Xixun, but the saint seemed to be interested in balancing the various factions in the DPRK and China, and did not adopt Gongsun Jin's impeachment.
Subsequently, Da Xixun also impeached Gongsun Jin for favoring private individuals when evaluating the merits of officials, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Prime Minister Li Linfu. Although the Holy One did not adopt it, the grudge between the two can almost be said to have reached the point of life and death.
Therefore, when you enter Beijing this time, unless you can find another way, there is almost no possibility of being selected, but how easy it is to find another way, you go and ask Mr. Li, when he entered Beijing, how long he ran and how many times he hit the wall, and finally barely got a nominal Hanlin enshrinement, in the capital on reputation, you are much worse than Mr. Li back then.
You have some means, but when you enter Beijing in October, there is only one or two months left for you, so I'm afraid I can't wait for you to use it. Anyway, I hope you'll be prepared not to be discouraged. ”
Regarding Li Ang's participation in the imperial examination, Yang Nan supported it. On the way to the fire well together, she persuaded Li Ang not to focus on making money, a man's husband, you still have to have some ambitions.
At that time, Li Ang replied to her with "If you don't ask about the marquis, you will succeed and your bones will wither", which made her feel quite disappointed.
She often hates that she is not a man, and when she answers Li Ang like this, she naturally hates iron and steel. Now that Li Ang has the ambition to take the imperial examination, it is always good, but he chose the wrong time.
There are so many talented people in this world that if you want to get ahead, the most important thing is to see the right time.
Li Ang did not have a clear understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China, and he stood on the wrong team, and now he is going to Beijing to take the exam, which is simply boring for himself. At least that's what Yang Nan thinks, so he is looking for an opportunity to persuade him.
Li Ang smiled helplessly: "Girl, no matter what, after coming to this point, I still have to enter Beijing, so I should be exploring the way." You're smart, can't you help me? ”
Yang Nan pouted unconsciously: "How can I help you, it's not that you don't know my current situation." It's okay if I don't help you, if I go back to Beijing with you, it will inevitably cause Li Linfu to misunderstand, don't talk about the title of the gold list, I'm afraid it will be a question whether you can come back alive or not. ”
"Don't be afraid, I have confidence in you, girl, with your shrewdness, as long as you are willing to help me, no matter what you do, I believe that you can turn evil into good fortune."
"You don't talk nonsense!"
