Chapter 13: The Lord's Father

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, he met Uncle Chen, and the old man couldn't help laughing heartily when he saw Cao Shi coming on a horse with a longbow on his back: "The horseman's riding training has achieved initial results, and after three and five years of diligent cultivation, you can exhaust the knights of the Northern Army." ”

"Uncle Chen, don't make fun of me, since I practiced military riding, I feel that the gap between me and several riding chairs (teachers) is getting bigger and bigger." Cao Shi has seen a few old soldiers riding war horses and holding short spears to stab at the posture, just as handsome as a European heavy knight charge, and he is still far from a rookie who has not even learned the correct posture of riding a horse and holding a gun.

The old man said with a smile: "The prince instructed the old servant to beat the scholars who were attached to the Hou Mansion to return to their hometowns, each scholar received a hundred yuan, and the steamed buns were packed and taken away ten. ”

"It is also convenient to give favors to the scholars, and in the future, the world needs to record the merits of the Taigong, and the scholars need to record it carefully, and the business of plucking a dime and benefiting the world is not too profitable." Cao Shi was very proud of this, Han Confucianism played a huge role in the process of Confucianism, most of the classics of Confucianism came from the oral transcripts of Confucian scholars in this era, and what Han Confucianism said was recorded by later generations, how great a role this was.

Uncle Chen suddenly realized, looking at the grateful appearance of the scholars, it must not be bad, thinking of the reputation of Pingyang Hou's deeds through the ages, the old man suddenly felt that the favor given was too little, everyone should give a generous gift of 10,000 yuan, and the more money given, the more grateful they should be.

The old man estimated that he would be disciplined when he spoke, pinching his snow-white beard and deciding to change the direction of the topic: "Most of the scholars took the money and left, but there were still a few who were reluctant to go, saying that they wanted to serve the Hou Mansion as the seat of the prince, and the old servant did not understand the words of the scholars, so he presented the list." ”

There are six names on a roll of bamboo slips, and the following is marked with simple records such as the place of birth and what he has learned in his life, and Cao Shi swept over with ten lines and suddenly stopped at the name of a person: "Qi people's master and father, learned from the Zongheng family?" Are there many people with the surname of the masterfather? ”

Uncle Chen thought for a while and shook his head and said, "This surname is very obscure, there should be no one in Hedong County, presumably there should be some in Qi Kingdom." ”

"The master's father is two years old today, Chinese New Year's Eve should be himself." He still won't forget the perverse master Yan, and the opportunity to repay the rampant ambition is his label, but this has nothing to do with him, and it doesn't hurt to see this strange person left and right.

The next morning, the six scholars were invited to the side hall of the Hou Mansion for dinner, since they were seeking to enter the Hou Mansion chair, they had to show their talents according to the rules, which was a bit like the interview for the recruitment of elite talents by large enterprises in later generations.

It's a pity that the expression of these scholars is disappointing, whether it is Confucianism or Fa, they like to shake their heads and read scriptures, and pick a few ancient texts for them to annotate, either squeak and don't know what to do, or the mess of the solution makes people confused, and the real talent is really doubtful.

The first few people left dejectedly, and the fifth person claimed to have learned Huang Lao for twenty-five years, in addition to taking the "Tao Te Ching" off the book bag, sometimes he could pop up a few classic words of governing a big country like cooking a small fresh, Cao Shi asked him to make a brief discussion on the topic of the border guards of the Han Dynasty, and the scholar immediately became dumbfounded.

Cao Shi ordered Uncle Chen to give several scholars 200 yuan, and twenty steamed buns returned to their hometowns to continue their studies.

Only the last middle-aged scholar was left standing under the hall, this person was not in a hurry to ignore the scholar who had failed and left, and he sorted out his appearance and said: "The master of Qi is the master of Yan, who has studied vertical and horizontal techniques for eighteen years, and Yan Zhao cannot be used by the king. ”

"Which ancient man does the Lord Father revere the most?"

"I respect Lu Lianzi the most."

Cao Shi secretly laughed in his heart that this person was opportunistic, and asked lightly: "So, which ancient man does the master father want to be the most?" ”

The master father looked at the young prince in the hall suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "It should be Zhang Zi and Su Zi." ”

Zhang Zi is Zhang Yi, Su Zi is Su Qin, only Zonghengshi will add the word "Zi" when calling Zhang Yi and Su Qin, because these two people have a very bad reputation, and Cheng DΓΉ, who has a bad reputation, is comparable to Shang Ying, who was scolded the most.

But these two people did not have the merits of Shang Ying's governance, and the Han Cheng Qin system inherited the main legal structure of Shang Ying, so they like to grab Zhang Yi and Su Qin and scold them in contemporary academic circles, so these two people have become typical clowns scolded by hundreds of schools.

"What is the purpose of the Lord's father's life?"

The master father looked up like a cat stepping on his tail and immediately raised his head vigilantly, every time he mentioned his personal ambition over the years, he would be ridiculed, and the memory of being humiliated every time was too deep to form a conditioned reflex, but fortunately, even if he was in the wrong place, he immediately lowered his head: "The ambition below is to go out and enter the phase." ”

Every time he mentions his ambitions, the master father will feel very empty, the ancestors of the Zongheng family are scolded, of course, the Zongheng family will also suffer, the master father is very bad in Qidi, his own temperament is similar to Zhang Yi Su Qin generally likes to talk about it, so the old Huang school who likes to do nothing hates him, the Confucian Legalists ridicule him, the Mo family hates them for playing right and wrong, the soldiers Yin and Yang family respect him, and he disdains the peasant novelists, and can only lament that his luck is bad and no one is available.

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear the ridicule, and I quietly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and when I raised my head and saw that the young prince was silent, Fan Qiguang, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly said: "Since the master father has great ambitions, let me know that there are few villains in my Hou Mansion who cannot accommodate those with big ambitions, and this ambition is quite different from the position that the master father is looking for." ”

The master father said solemnly: "I heard that the way of governing the country starts from small things, if I can cure a mansion in the palace of the prince, I will accumulate a small step for the statecraft, and the moment of success will be the end of the day." ”

"The master's father was born wrong, the chair is not the Hou family, and he can't govern a government, let alone accumulate the skills to govern the country."

The master father arched his hand without changing his face: "I also know, this is my little metaphor, even if it is a chair, it doesn't matter, as long as the prince can value my healing skills and recommend me to enter Anyi as a minister, it will be 2,000 stone in less than ten years." ”

Being exposed to the old bottom can not change the color of the face and the heart does not beat, and the bull does not bring a draft, two thousand stones is at least a county military and political officer or an important minister in the court, and the main father is two thousand stones with a mouth, as if being a heavy minister can easily get it by probing for things.

Fan It Guang didn't like him very much, because of that period of history that he didn't want to recall, falsely accusing him of adultery and giving birth to a son of the Hou Mansion Sheren, just like the master father Yan likes to talk exaggeratedly, and he opened his mouth to be ambitious to do things in his chest, and the first generation of Wuyang Hou Fan City people were bewitched by his words and hired him as the Hou Mansion Sheren, but he was still just a Hou Mansion Sheren for more than ten years and achieved nothing.

At that time, he also didn't like the housekeeper very much, so he reprimanded him for being a silverfish who mixed in the corpse of the Hou Mansion and did not seek the slightest benefit for the Hou Mansion, because this inadvertent insult became the motive for the Sheren to falsely accuse him.

"The master and father have learned to the fullest, and they can't be reused in Yanzhao to study, have you ever thought about the reason?"

"The princes and kings are drunk with wine and can't reuse sages, and they will definitely pay the price for their mediocre actions in the future." The master father bowed and stood proudly, and his strong self-esteem made him feel that there was no need to be too respectful of the deposed marquis who questioned him.

"After more than ten years of begging for the princes and kings, he came to Hedong to ask for the liehous, and before entering the Hou Mansion, he expected to be recommended by the princes to Anyi, how could the lord and father do things with peace of mind in the Hou Mansion? I think that the first prince who refused to recruit the main father may have done it unintentionally, but the fact that he was rejected for recruitment for two or three times in a row has something to do with the idea of the main father's birth. ”

Fan Qiguang sternly questioned his sincerity, and kept saying that it took more than ten years for a virtuous person to arrive in Hedong, and that people who lacked sincerity could not go all out to do things anywhere, and those who could neither help each other nor share weal and woe, the Hou Mansion would not dare to accept it.

"You ......" the master father trembled angrily at Fan It Guang and looked at him angrily, he hated being questioned and ridiculed the most in his life, and what he couldn't accept the most was that what the other party said was very reasonable, and suddenly he was speechless, and the reason for being rejected three or four times was very likely to be so, he began to regret that he had been so lofty for more than ten years, if he had listened to the persuasion of his teacher and started as an official in Qidi, perhaps he had become a big man in Qi at this time.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, he has no way back, if he can't win the status of 2,000 stones, his life will be completely finished.

Cao Shi stopped the quarrel with a smile: "The master father is a talented person, and the literary master must not be rude to a talented person." ”

"Whoa!" Fan Itguang's silent archiving of the master father was regarded as an apology, and the master father returned the salute with an expressionless face, and cast a grateful look at the Marquis of Pingyang.

Cao Shi said: "The main father is a talented person, if such a person is buried in the countryside, it is a pity!" But I was just a prince with no position and no power, and I could not meet the recommendation request of the master and father, so I had to give 500 yuan as the travel expenses for the study tour, hoping that the master and father would learn the excellent skills of governing the country and be cited as filial piety. ”

The master father was disappointed and stunned, and it took a long time before he immediately saluted: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince, what I have learned has not been shown to the prince, please allow me to leave Hedong without regrets in the next exhibition." ”

This mention shows that he is still not very willing, the master still subconsciously insists that he is a talented master, and those who look down on him are ignorant fools, I show you the wisdom you have learned all your life, so that you will regret and be depressed for not getting me in the future.

Cao Shicai would not give him a chance, and immediately said: "Don't be too anxious about what you have learned from the main father, if it can become a high-ranking official of two thousand stones one day, the people of the world will polish their eyes to see your statecraft, it is better for me to leave a question, the main father will think more about this, maybe he can show his talent in front of the emperor of heaven one day." ”

"Gentleman, please speak." The master father shook his big sleeves and put his hands behind his back, which means that even if there is any problem, my master father is not afraid at all.

Seeing that he was so confident, Cao Shi smiled and didn't care: "I heard that the ancient kings ruled the world with a vertical arch, at that time the world was only a few thousand miles in radius, and the people were only hundreds of thousands.

It's just that the fertile land has been developed by people, and the rest is only the land that is rampant with poisonous miasma or cold and remote and uncultivable. If there is a flood and drought and locust plagues are rampant, and the plague is so explosive that the grain is sold for thousands of dollars a stone, how should we govern the country in the face of such a crisis and protect the Han family's rivers and mountains from being destroyed in a flash? ”
