Chapter 40: May Day
Splashing water in front of the horse, that's an opera. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tearing the skin, but it is reality.
The water that was spilled out could not be recovered, and the torn skin would leave scars if it was tried to be stitched up. After many years, you may not be able to see it, but you can't stand someone from using your intentions to pull the torn hole again.
After the Qian Weijun incident, the official school of Xian'an Palace was still in and out of school as usual, but some people began to fan the yin wind and light the yin fire, saying that if they only learned the sacred science and did not learn the arithmetic calendar of those fish, how could there be students who took away the teachings?
I don't know if this kind of argument began to spread among students or became popular in teaching, Su Wen couldn't imagine that the play he directed became the fuse that accelerated the division of students.
Since then, the officials and students of the Xian'an Palace have been clearly divided into two factions, and those who advocate the single respect for Confucianism and the abolition of arithmetic calendar and astronomy are Tuerchen, Mo Yu, Yar Hashan and others, whose fathers are all in the dynasty and hold great power.
The other faction is Ma Leji, Le Kehun, Hai Lanzhu and others, most of them are children of ordinary officials and scholars, they learn what they are allowed to learn in the official school, and they are not as good as Tuerchen and others in Confucianism, but they can compete with one in arithmetic and astronomy, and they are willing to learn in their hearts.
Su Wen's position is known to everyone, and he attaches equal importance to the body and the application, and in terms of the proposition alone, it seems that he is more biased towards the Maleji faction, but the two factions of the Xian'an Palace get along with him very well, and when the two factions argue, only he can calm down the incident and resolve the dispute, which cannot but be said to be a big strange thing.
The teaching of Xian'an Palace is not idle, as the students of the two factions approach intentionally or unintentionally, as the controversy in the court continues to leak out, those teachers actually support their favorite students openly or implicitly, but because the teaching does not need to sit in the hall, there are fewer opportunities to meet, and there has not been a large-scale controversy, but there are also two teachers who are blushing and thick-necked
This controversy reached the ears of Cheng Wenyun, and his attitude was clear-cut, the official school of Xian'an Palace must be both practical and practical, and Confucianism and Taoism should be studied together with arithmetic.
The president's attitude greatly encouraged the morale of the Maleji faction, but Tuerchen and others were even more unconvinced.
Although Cheng Wenyun expressed his support for paying equal attention to physical use, Wei Ying, the co-organizer, respected Confucianism alone, and Aligon, Qin Jianquan and others did not express their opinions openly, but encouraged Tuerchen and others.
Jiang Guangnai was subordinate to Hanlin, and he was still competing with Su Wen in King Zheng's mansion that day, so he naturally supported the Tuerchen faction, but his relationship with Maleji and others was not wrong.
Like Dai Zi, an arithmetic teacher who also came out of the Hanlin Academy, he supported Malerji, and the other teachers chose their own sides, which completely disrupted the pattern of several factions in the court.
This is the reflection of the current pattern in the court in the small world of official learning, Su Wen has secretly analyzed countless times, and he also looked forward to seeing King Duan, but King Duan never came to Xian'an Palace again.
But just before the Dragon Boat Festival, Prince Duan issued an edict, "The officials and students of Xian'an Palace should pay equal attention to physical use, and if there are those who are unwilling to continue learning, they should retire from this flag." ”
It took only a few words to put a damn of the increasingly heated controversy for the time being.
However, within a few days of calm, the controversy in the court also reached the Xian'an Palace.
Like Tuerchen and others, their parents are all powerful ministers of the court, and the news in the court is the most concerned and well-informed
In the Qianqing Gate outside the Xian'an Palace, the first person to stand up and argue with Duanwang Hongyi was Zhuang Shimin, the head of the Hanlin Academy.
This controversy in the court has been depicted in various versions, but the central meaning remains the same, that is, Zhuang Shimin directly called Prince Banduan, opposing the promotion of arithmetic astronomical calendar and other subjects in Qixue at all levels, Yixue and local schools, which is the compromise method that Prince Duan originally wanted to take, starting with the schools in the provincial capitals and then gradually, and Zhuang Shimin also strongly opposed it.
Standing behind Zhuang Shimin was Wei Ying, the secretary of the ministry, but Wei Ying had not expressed his opinion so far, and then thinking about it, Wei Ying's faction was friendly with Prince Zheng, but Prince Zheng was supporting Prince Duan, Su Wen felt that he was in the whirlpool, but he couldn't see the wind and rain outside the whirlpool.

The colored thread is lightly wrapped around the red jade arm, and the small charm hangs obliquely on the green cloud mustache.
Today, it's the May Festival (Dragon Boat Festival).
Since the first day of school in Xian'an Palace, there has never been a holiday, and the students are looking forward to the Dragon Boat Festival to have a day off, but President Cheng Wenyun's reply is, "No, continue to study." ”
The May Festival is a big festival for the city of Beijing, and both the emperor, the prince and the ordinary people attach great importance to it.
Su Wen got up early in the morning, hung the "five poisons" purse and colorful zongzi made by Hui Xian on his waist, and picked up the fragrant purse embroidered with the pattern of "Peacock Flying Southeast", the more he looked at it, the more exquisite and cute he felt, he thought about it, and tucked it in his sleeve.
On the window, the sister-in-law and the three girls cut the five poisonous "gourds" with red rough-edged paper, which have been pasted, pasted on the first day of the fifth month, and thrown away on the fifth day of the first month, which is called "throwing away the disaster" by the old Beijingers.
Under the eaves, it has also been inserted with wicker, and the multicolored paper is folded into a gourd and tied to these willow branches, and the breeze blows, the branches are rattling, and the ears under the gourd are swinging left and right, which is very good-looking.
The sister-in-law got up early and began to set up the offering table to worship the Buddha and worship the ancestors, but the offerings were the "five poison cakes" printed with snakes, centipedes, scorpions, spiders and toad patterns, as well as cherries, mulberries and other seasonal fresh products.
Now the family has silver, no longer have to go to credit, Eniang spent money is more generous, in addition to the five poison cakes, but also bought rose cakes, with the roses produced in Miaofeng Mountain in western Beijing and made of honey, puff pastry, hard skin have bought a lot, the price of each piece is equivalent to two catties of white flour, the average person can not afford to eat.
Ama also woke up Su'an early, planted mugwort in front of the courtyard gate and under the eaves, the breeze came slowly, and the mugwort fragrance filled the courtyard, which was refreshing and pleasant.
"Hey, old man, come and wash your eyes, this is the dew that Eniang personally went out to collect, you lit the lamp to boil the oil, and then boiled your eyes, wash your eyes with the dew of the May Festival, and keep your heart bright and bright for a year."
Su Wen wondered why he was missing Eniang, he went out to collect dew, and looked at the basin of dew in front of him, this Eniang, who didn't work easily, didn't know when he got up.
He was washing his eyes, and his sister-in-law took the eggs into the east house, "Sanniu, get up, don't get up again, a lot of grass has been picked up, what do you do to fight the grass!" ”
The third girl didn't know what to say, and then she screamed again, "Sister-in-law, don't let the eggs roll on my stomach, itchy!" ”
"Don't move," the sister-in-law said softly, "This makes up for your stomach, you won't have a stomachache after eating this egg for a year, go to fight Baicao, you will win!" In a word, the three girls giggled.
The Miyun yellow rice jujube dumplings tied with maran grass and wrapped in reed leaves taste so good, really sweet and fragrant, Su Wen even ate a few, so he gave up.
led the horse, said goodbye to Ama Eniang, and Su Wen beat the horse and went straight to Xian'an Palace.
Walking into the school, I found that many officials and students are wearing purses today, and they are all wearing new clothes, and Ma Leji is helping out in Su Wen's traditional Chinese medicine hospital after school, and Su Wen has called his younger brother over, and his family's situation is much stronger than before.
Looking at his brand-new appearance, Su Wen smiled, "Heh, Malerji, this purse is so well embroidered, bring it to me to take a look, hehe, there is a good match, right?" ”
Hai Lanzhu, Mo Yu, Yar Hashan and others also gathered around, joking.
Na Malegi is also a joke of the accumulation of years, "Hehe, I had a dream yesterday, I dreamed that a fairy kissed me, and when I woke up, I put such a purse on the pillow,......"
"Hehe, you just blow you! Just like you, can a fairy take a fancy to you? ”
"Hehe, I didn't listen to him, was it a dream!"
"You can let the fairy kiss me, and I have to marry Gege!"
"Hehe, I want to be a concubine, then I advise you to die a long time ago, Gege has his own mansion, and the concubine can't see Gege a few times all year round, and he is not allowed to take concubines, isn't that a widow?"
"Widows? That's a woman, not a man......"
The school hall was noisy and lively......
"Don't argue, the teaching is coming, the teaching is coming." Na Tuerchen's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Dai Zi, an arithmetic teacher outside the door, and walked over, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
"Today's class is not in class, Prince Duan sympathizes with everyone's hard work, and the president has notified that there will be a day off on the May Festival." Before Dai Zi's words fell, the students shouted, although these are all little adults, but the fun habits on their bodies have not subsided, and they are in a hurry to pack up their packages.
Dai Zi motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Don't go, the emperor will have a reward later, after receiving the reward, follow me to Qianqing Gate to thank you, and everyone can get out of school!" ”
Hehe, the emperor personally appreciated, it was a symbol of identity and status, it was very different, and the students immediately quieted down, but after a while, it was boiling again, and the sound shook the house.
"I heard my Ama say, today, the palace doesn't eat anything else, the emperor's meal is full of zongzi, and the "zongzi banquet" will be placed with 1,276 zongzi, piled up like a hill!" Such an official eunuch family, coupled with what they have seen and heard in the palace, these people are destined to have a higher starting point than their peers, not to mention that they are cultivated as the future elite of the empire, so naturally the rules in the palace must be understood.
"The emperor is also particular about dressing today, and he also wears wormwood tips on the crown, and he also has to tie a dragon boat-sized purse and a five-poison small purse to his waist......," another official and student said contendly.
"Over there in Changchun Garden, we have to perform Qu Yuan's Shenjiang Festival Opera, Fuhai has to race dragon boats, and the emperor has to reward ministers, I don't know what time we have to wait for when it's our turn?"
His words are really a prophecy, these officials and students waited for the morning, waited for noon, after noon, the emperor's reward has not yet arrived, poor these children get up to eat, some have not eaten breakfast, at this hour, one by one is so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, but they dare not eat, they are waiting for the emperor's reward for the brown!
The more you wait, the more hungry you become, the more angry you get, but they all hold it in their hearts, and everyone wants to pretend that the fire is not in a hurry.
Ma Leji, Hai Lanzhu and others can stand it, there were often interruptions at home before, hehe, looking at the appearance of Yigan classmates who wanted to complain but didn't dare to complain, and didn't dare to eat things in front of them, they all secretly laughed.
The two finally discussed, and actually walked to the brick floor outside to practice the tricks, and were playing with each other, when suddenly, the gate of Xian'an Palace opened, and a group of eunuchs walked in.
