=============
Song Jiu took the teahouse, and there were two people sitting in the private room, one of whom could know him, Zhao Kuangyi, and a middle-aged man, about forty years old, actually thirty-seven years old, but he had a long career in the horse, and after becoming the emperor, he worked hard, and he looked a little old, with a big face, wearing a flat head used by the officials during the banquet, a kind of soft scarf, the scarf on the top is low and flat, also called the flat small top, that is, it is a kind of popular scarf that is common to the officials and nobles and the common people. is the same as Zhao Kuangyi, a big face, chubby, very similar to Zhao Kuangyi, but there are many differences, this person is very burly, and he looks more amiable than Zhao Kuangyi, not as serious and deep as Zhao Kuangyi.
The two of them sat together, this person was still sitting in the main seat, didn't Song Jiu know his identity?
Song Jiuzhi said that this Emperor Taizu was a rare emperor close to the people in history, and he was a little afraid, so he stepped forward cautiously, bowed down and said, "The ministers meet Your Majesty, and meet the king." ”
Song Jiu felt very embarrassed by his nervousness, isn't he just an emperor, he is also a human being. But he didn't know what to do, his performance had made Zhao Kuangyin look up to him, in this era, ordinary people saw the emperor, a few people could talk, and some were so nervous that they would tremble.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly: "Flat." ”
Song Jiu stood up, did he sit, did he dare to sit?
"You said in Hezhou that you want to drink tea with me and talk about your heart, do you want to drink tea here or in the palace?"
"This, that's it, the ministers here are so nervous that they can't even speak."
To tell the truth, Gonggong Liu was happy, no wonder the second king said that he had to laugh when talking to this kid.
"Here it is."
Song Jiu was still a little nervous, Zhao Kuangyin revealed his identity, the attendants did not dare to slack off, the imperial garden was not far from here, and some attendants immediately invited a team of attendants to be on guard, and outside the teahouse and teahouse, there were soldiers standing everywhere, fully armed, with bright weapons in their hands. Song Jiuduo has seen such a scene, he can still sit firmly, he is already a first-class bold.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Jiulang, please use tea." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister dares to take the next word of your Majesty."
"Not necessarily, if you put me and the court in your eyes, the second brother won't have a headache."
"Headache?"
"Don't talk about this, although your songs just now were out of tune, the text is good, why don't you take the imperial examination?"
"Your Majesty, those small orders are the best of the small orders I have written over the years, the ministers are stupid, and they play on the spot to write four or six body pun texts, and the ministers can't do it."
"If you can't write well, you won't write, so why distort the prose?"
"Your Majesty, how many people have written prose in ancient times? When did the text come from, the Wei and Jin dynasties, when the country was in decline, although the Tang Dynasty had used it, but the Tang Dynasty was too heavy on martial arts and light literature, blindly opening the edge, which was the scourge of the Anshi Rebellion, if His Majesty wanted to advocate culture and education, and attach importance to cultural governance, he must restore the original appearance of the ancients, and he could no longer use the gorgeous but empty, although catchy but piled up without knowing the mainstream of the article. ”
Four-six-body pun is to four-character and six-character interspersed prose, occasionally a small number of two-character, three-character, five-character, seven-character is also OK, but to the Tang Dynasty development gradually improved, even between two, three, five, seven, eight and nine characters, can not be regarded as the standard four-six-body prose, that is, the famous article "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" can only be regarded as a non-standard four-six body.
Of course, it is very gorgeous, Tengwang Pavilion Preface, Afang Palace Fu, Wai Jiangnan Fu Preface, these articles are so gorgeous that they are scum.
But how difficult is it to write that it requires dual rhyme throughout the text, and it must be based on four characters and six characters? Therefore, Li Bai was so talented that he wrote a self-recommendation letter to Han Chaozong, and in order to express his meaning, he only used a small number of dual sentences, and did not dare to write a pun, let alone write this self-recommendation letter in four or six bodies. Li Bai can't do it, there are a few people who can, and Song Jiu can't do it. But ordinary students are not like Song Jiu, when they get to the examination room, they have their own methods. The Song Dynasty is very humane, the examiner sits behind the curtain, if the scholar is not puzzled, he can stand up and ask through the curtain, the examiner explains the doubts behind the curtain, the fill-in-the-blank question and the explanation question are not counted, this refers to poetry, fu, theory, and policy. Private books are not allowed to be brought to the examination room, but Juzi is allowed to bring in the two rhyme books of "Cut Rhyme" and "Jade Chapter".
This is no way, candidates have Hebei people, Shandong people, Shaanxi people, Huainan people, and there will be Sichuan people, Hunan people, Lingnan people, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, the pronunciation of these places is also different from later generations, the Yuan and Qing dynasties entered the Central Plains, and all parts of the country were affected by the northern barbarian dialect, but it was not Khitan and Jurchen or Mandarin, they affected the Chinese pronunciation, and the Central Plains pronunciation also affected their pronunciation, that is, Mandarin in the current part of China, even in the north are alien languages.
The pronunciation is still different in different places, and there must be a correct pronunciation of these two books.
These moves are not bold enough, and they can't write well, but there is a way, so they keep turning over the two rhyme books, and then desperately pile them up, put out a sentence alone, fight, and press the rhyme, but the whole article is read together, and the reader often doesn't know what to do.
There are also those who write well, but there are few, as long as they can write well, and the others are not bad, they can go to high school. How many people can put it down? In fact, if you can't write well, you can't spell out the examiner and you're not a fool, unless your background is hard, but once the name system is implemented, everyone is the same. Therefore, it is better not to write an article that has been cobbled together. Song Jiuyi had no background, and the second was not good at writing, so he wisely did not write, and then he was dissatisfied and wrote this ancient prose.
This is where the story begins......
"You also said that you should advocate culture and education, and attach importance to cultural governance, why do you say that seeing the five generations of Fang Zhen is enough to control its monarch, release its military power, and make it weak and easy to control, I am afraid that my descendants will die in the enemy country. Seeing the rebellion in Hunan, the subjects wanted to think about the saint and change the old ways, and they wanted to be constrained by their rights, but they didn't know that miscellaneous redundancy would follow one after another, and the country would be trapped in finances? ”
Song Jiu wrote happily, but this sentence made Zhao Kuangyin distressed.
Song Jiu didn't know, he was stunned at first, looked up at Zhao Kuangyin, and thought, how can you have time to pay attention to a test paper that has fallen into the first place?
It's not easy to answer, though.
Yesterday in the court of Kaifeng Mansion, Song Jiu saw some things, and the system was not perfect. The release of military power with a glass of wine has happened, but the military power has still not been completely released, and there are still some pseudo-feudal towns in various places, and they are happy to write it in one go, aiming at the future, not completely targeting the present. You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Shen said: "Your Majesty, you know that Fang Zhen will definitely not be able to, Renjun has the ability to control, and if he does not have the ability, it will inevitably collapse the country, it is right to take back Fang Zhen's military power, but it is wrong to completely dethrone the military and heavy literature." As for the constraints of power, the imperial court implemented the system of sending officials, and there was still Li Chuyun's matter, with the ability of His Majesty, Hou Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty were not enough to worry about, so the ministers speculated that His Majesty would definitely innovate in order to open peace for all generations and not make the people suffer from misery. That's why I wrote this passage at that time. ”
"It's not good to release, it's not good not to release, it's not good to be restrained, it's not good to be unrestrained, do I want to do nothing?"
"Doing nothing? That is Sima Qian's angry words because of the castration of the Han Dynasty, who said that Wenjing is ruled by inaction, they are not ruled by inaction, but a kind of fine-tuning, so the country is developing, but the turmoil is not big, and this kind of governance is more difficult. Sima Qian, nerd! Li Bai, crazy scholar! Therefore, there is a Ming Jun alive, and it cannot be used. ”
"Nonsense, if you have the talent of Sima Qian and Li Bai, I dare to use it as well."
"This, this...... Your Majesty, the ministers are even worse than them, so they are a small grass people. ”
Zhao Kuangyi finally couldn't help it, and he was happy.
"Song Jiu, do I also want to learn Wenjing and fine-tune it?"
"Your Majesty, the minister saw a certain A coming to the capital from the south in winter, and felt that the capital was very cold, so he didn't dare to take off his jacket in the summer, and the minister saw a certain B coming to the capital from the north in the summer, and felt that the capital was very hot, and only wore single clothes in winter, isn't it strange."
This is not a comically boring metaphor.
Zhao Kuangyin was moved, he stood up, and said, "Serve tea, serve the best tea." ”
The shopkeeper has long been dizzy, I don't know if it is happy, excited, nervous, scared, since the guards came to clear the field, a few people stood where they kept swinging, their minds were empty, they heard Zhao Kuangyin shouting loudly upstairs, they were in a hurry, they brought the best tea, and forgot to take water, or Liu Gonggong took over the work, and a few people hurried downstairs.
Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Isn't there a permanent system? ”
Song Jiu was nervous and slowly relaxed from the beginning, this is the emperor, although he has a thousand years of leading knowledge, but people's brains must be better than their own, think first, think about it and then answer, said: "There is an eternal system, there is no eternal degree, what is the degree, measurement, scale, a country is strong, internal governance is the key, cultural governance is the key, and you can't neglect the armed forces. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population was sparse and the land was empty, so the Juntian system and the government military system could be partially implemented, and later 9 million households were completely destroyed by the Juntian system and the government military system. Time is different from time to time, degree from degree to degree. ”
"It's easier said than done."
"Your Majesty, it's easier said than done, so if you want to cook a small meal in a big country, you must be cautious."
"What is the system, what is the degree?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is a grass people."
"Don't talk to yourself anymore, I'll give you the title of Ru Linlang now."
Ru Linlang is a Zheng Jiupin Wen Shan Guan, also known as Ji Lu Guan, from then on Song Jiu can get some salaries from the imperial court, but the Song Dynasty officials still have a variety of rewards and rewards, not only to have a civil and prose official, but also to have a professional official, with a loose official and a professional official still has no rights, you must be a poor official to have the right to decide, if you want to have a bad official, you must have an official, so the official is far more important than the civil official. It's not bad, at least it's not an ordinary person from now on, Song Jiu said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"You don't have to thank you, go on."
"The minister just wants to say one thing, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and as a common man, he must also be patriotic and care about the country's affairs."
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and it is well said, but this sentence must not be spread outside."
"Your Majesty...... I understand. "Song Jiu can't help but laugh, there are still many places in the Song Dynasty that have not been collected, Hou Shu, Southern Tang, Southern Han, Northern Han, Wu Yue and Chen Hongjin's Min State reluctantly returned to the imperial court, strictly speaking, it belongs to China's Jiaozhi, I don't know if this Taizu is not interested in the future, Dali, Xiqiang, Tubo, if the people of every country come to the country to rise and fall, the husband is responsible, Zhao Kuangyin will be very sad.
"Say it again."
"The people should also be patriotic, the country can be cohesive, but not in its position, not in its government, the people's strength is ultimately weak, the real decision-maker is Your Majesty, the prime minister, and the important ministers. With great power comes great responsibility. Since ancient times, only the emperor's line of work has been the most difficult. ”
"Bold!" Gonggong Liu smoked Song Jiu's head with a whisk.
"Gonggong Liu, don't worry, Song Jiu, I ask you, what emperor is the most difficult to do?"
