Chapter 70: Eclectic
Chapter 70 is eclectic
He Ji used to be the teacher of the crown prince Zhao Yu, and now he is lecturing at the Chongzheng Hall, naturally knowing the depth of ink in Zhao Yu's stomach, it is inevitable to be nervous, worried that this poem is made up nonsense, and also worried that it is written by the Chinese courtiers, and he is smiling generously in front of the students of the world, but this is an ancient system and must be done.
As for Zhao Yu's details, Ma Tingluan and Weng Yinglong, who are the deputy examiners, also know it. Although Ma Tingluan is pedantic, he has always flaunted himself for maintaining the orthodox imperial power, and he doesn't want to see me messing around with a poem to fool the candidates, so his face also shows nervousness. As for Weng Yinglong, he is very calm, the emperor is ugly, Lord Jia should be happy.
I know He Ji's thoughts, there is no panacea for this poem, it can be done quickly. But I'm not the Zhao Yu who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do anything, I am the son of heaven who responds to the mandate of heaven, the son of heaven.
"I specially wrote a poem for this imperial examination, and you are all here, and you are also here to judge me." I read aloud, "Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and all the horses are sad." I make the heavens heavy, and I don't stick to one pattern to reduce talents. ”
This is a miscellaneous poem written by the Qing Dynasty poet Gong Zizhen, which is concise and to the point, which means that I advise the Emperor of Heaven to regain his spirits and not stick to a certain standard and lower more talents. Among them, I only changed one word, changing the original poem "I persuade the heavenly prince to be vigorous" to "I make the heavenly prince to be vigorous". Gong Zizhen is a courtier, and I can only persuade, but I am the emperor, so I used the order of the order, and at the same time, it also showed my determination to select talents in an eclectic manner.
The people present were all writers who had read poetry and books, so they could naturally understand the meaning of this poem.
In an instant, everyone was immersed in the poem.
Although this poem is not a household name in later generations, it is very appropriate for this occasion.
After all, He Ji Ma Tingluan had rich experience, and he was the first to react, and both of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and said almost at the same time: "Good poetry." ”
I glanced at Weng Yinglong, who was stunned, and said in my heart, go back and tell Jia Yidao, I am Zhao Yu, the son of heaven, not the mediocre and incompetent prince Zhao Yu.
Kublai Khan in the north is fierce, and will invade the south at any time, according to the course of history, there are more than two years to launch the Xiangyang War, once the battle of Xiangyang is lost, the Southern Song Dynasty has no power to return to heaven. As I cross, I can't predict whether the wheel of history will change, in short, time waits for no one, and I must break the situation of the three powers as soon as possible in order to deal with the mighty Mongols wholeheartedly.
After a while, the candidates also understood the meaning of the poem, and a middle-aged student from a poor family thought: "The emperor is worthy of being the stars in the sky, eclectic, that is, regardless of his background, he doesn't need to go to the examiner, it seems that I, a poor scholar, have a hope this time." ”
"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and all the horses are sad. These two sentences are relevant to current events, and they are neat and natural. ”
"I make the heavens vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. The last two sentences are profound, and the way to value talents is also. ”
"This order shows the emperor's courage, it is really a good poem, and the whole world is the emperor who can make such heroic poems."
Everyone secretly praised in their hearts.
At this time, the candidate from a poor family suddenly walked out of his seat, knelt down and kowtowed three times, crying and saying: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the grass...... people"
I don't know what this candidate is trying to say, maybe it's something from an eclectic idea.
Someone took the lead, and these candidates couldn't help but kneel down and say: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
If the previous was out of courtesy, then this time it is from the heart.
Seeing the proud sons of the sky kneeling in front of me, I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart, enjoying this worship, and not caring about thinking about this pirated poem anymore.
He Ji smiled and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what is the title of this poem?" ”
"Let's call it Xianchun Kejuhe." I smiled and said, "All the candidates are flat, I still have something to say." ”
He Ji shouted: "Everyone go back to their seats and stand up and listen to the emperor's instructions." ”
"The topic of this exam is the economy of the country, why do we talk about the economy? Instead of talking about the policy of governing the country as before, I think that a country needs all kinds of talents, such as political talents, military talents, and also economic talents, which is not a simple planting industry, but covers a wide range of areas. As I said earlier, the Mongols are eyeing us, and the war between the two sides is inevitable, this war is not only a confrontation between the army, but also a contest of comprehensive strength, in which economic strength is one of the factors that determine the surname. I know that most of you here don't understand the way of economics, and all you have learned are the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, so why do I still have to choose from among you? That's because you are sensible, you know what is important, and more importantly, you all have a heart to serve the country. ”
I looked at the candidates who were all thinking seriously and continued: "To put it simply, if I have enough treasury, will I be able to recruit a large number of elite soldiers, equip them with the best weapons, and let their families have no worries. In short, the economy is one of the lifeblood of our dynasty and one of the guarantees for the prosperity of our dynasty. Ladies and gentlemen, the exams for two consecutive days have ended, and in seven days it will be the release of the list, many of you here will be officials, I congratulate you in advance, and also give you two sentences, the first sentence is the famous saying of Fan Wenzhenggong, the first world worries and worries, and the world is happy after the world. The second sentence is the way of being an official, being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and raise livestock. ”
The latter sentence is from the anonymous clan of the Qing Dynasty, and the sweet potatoes in the sweet potatoes sold were introduced to our country after the Ming Dynasty, so I made a modification.
"Finally, I have one more thing to announce. In addition to poetry and songs, all of you who have any skill in these seven days can be registered in the Gongyuan, I need all kinds of talents, this is also the purpose of my poem, eclectic, as long as it is talent, I will reuse it. In addition, I intend to set up a seowon here, a seowon that is different from other academies, which I call a university, and the purpose of establishing this university is twofold: first, academic research, which contains all kinds of physical arts, even strange arts, as long as it is conducive to the development of our dynasty, can enter this university, and second, to cultivate talents and cultivate all kinds of talents needed for our dynasty. You can be a teacher or an apprentice, and the details will be announced next month. ”
On March 17 of the first year of Xianchun, I took a group of ministers to Baoshan in the southwest of Huiji. Eighteenth, buried in Yongmu Mausoleum. Among the emperors of the Chinese dynasties, Li Zong is known for his respect for science, and is known as the temple name Li Zong, and the name of the Emperor of Jiandao and Beide, the great merit of reviving Liewen, Renwu, Shengming, and Anxiao.
Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty reigned for 40 years, but Emperor Lizong did nothing in his life, which led to the collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty.
What is even more tragic is that only fifteen years after his death, his mausoleum, including the tombs of several other emperors and concubines of the Southern Song Dynasty, was stolen by Yang Lian Zhenjia and Yun Ze, the high priests of Tianya. The head of Emperor Lizong was then cut off and made into a drinking vessel, which was sent to the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty in Yanjing, and his torso was burned. This is also something that Song Lizong never expected before his death. The head of Emperor Lizong was not found in the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty until the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, captured the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the skull of Emperor Lizong to be reburied in the site of the Song Tomb, and the destroyed mausoleum was restored.
It's just that I'm coming, will history still be the same?
