Chapter 27 Li Zhi's "Wangyue" and Wu Mei's "Bamboo"
Although the three children of Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi are young, they are running around like mad dogs because they are chased by Yun Chu all day long, so climbing this mountain is nothing to them.
A little more troublesome are the gentle wife and Di Renjie's wife, fortunately, they are also taken by Yu Xiurong on weekdays to like sports, so they don't have the unique double chins or three chins of the rest of the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty, and they don't have their pear-shaped figures.
The three of them are actually excluded figures in the circle of noble ladies.
Mainly because of their jealous nature.
That's right, there is only one woman in the back house of the Yun, Wen, and Di families, and there are no messy handmaids, or concubines, so everyone thinks that these three women are not good for their men, even if they can't tolerate the existence of concubines, and the handmaidens are not equipped, it would be too much.
Of course, everybody hated these three women, but everybody wished they were.
The light rain turned into a light rain, and the water flowing down the stone steps was much smaller, just wet and slippery. After climbing Mount Tai for half an hour, I looked back and saw that the people below had been obscured by the thick fog.
Looking up at the South Heavenly Gate, there are also clouds and mist, which forms a strange scene, below the clouds is the beginning of the clouds, and below them is a layer of dense fog, up and down is not clouds, or dense fog, although the place where they are at the beginning of the clouds is gloomy, but it is clearer than the top, or the bottom.
The five great doctors are right in front of you.
This is a pine tree that is not very tall, not much different from the pine trees seen after 1,400 years at the beginning of Yunchu, except that the branches are very strong, and the bark is mottled for many years.
Back then, Qin Shi Huang took shelter from the rain under this pine tree, and it was really lucky that he was not killed by thunder, you must know that this pine tree stood high enough, and there were no other trees taller than it around, if there was thunder and lightning, it must be the tree that was unlucky.
The five doctors are the ninth rank of the Great Qin Xungui, and they enjoy an annual salary of 450 stones.
Now it's called 'Evergreen Hou'.
There is no doubt about it, just looking at the ink on the plaque hanging around the neck of the five great doctors, you know that this five doctors have just been raised to the title by the emperor, from the ninth rank to the third class.
The title is an ancient status rank, which was shaped by the Confucian classics to the "fifth-class lord" of the pre-Qin period, so that the title has a certain sacredness; After the development stage of the Qin and Han military meritorious knights, the title has the practicality of rewarding meritorious deeds.
There is a certain similarity with the functions of the Tang Dynasty and the scattered officials and the honorable officers, none of the three have actual duties, and the titles and scattered officials have the nature of hierarchical status, and the titles and the honors have the role of rewarding military merits.
However, the threshold for obtaining a ninth rank is higher than the threshold for obtaining a knighthood, and many people have obtained the rank of Lord, but not the knighthood of the county man.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the lord was the foundation of his identity, and it was also the basis for appointing officials, and after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the importance of officials gradually surpassed that of knights. Officials are also often referred to collectively, and "adding officials to knights" is the pursuit of many scholars. In the era when the Tang Dynasty entered the official position, the status of the lord declined, but it was still valued by the Tang people.
Yunchu's military merits are Shangzhu country, the title of Lantian County Duke, his own position, and the Wannian county commander is also the deputy guard of Chang'an.
His military merits and titles are high enough, but his own position is very low, so in the court, his right to speak is far less than that of Shangguanyi, who is not even a county man.
The title of the Tang Dynasty is no longer very valuable, which can be seen from the position of the early dynasty, the order of the Tang Dynasty, the official product first, the same official quality to the higher title first, if the title is also the same, the elderly first.
The last time Yun Chu was able to stand in the ninth position, it had little to do with his title, but because he was an official on the fourth grade, and when the prime minister of the third rank was the prime minister, he naturally came to the front when there were few bigwigs from the third grade.
A loose rank evergreen marquis who doesn't eat a dog, the benefits he gets all year round may not be as high as the treatment of the five doctors of the Qin Jue, after all, the title of the five doctors, and the four hundred and fifty stone corn a year is real.
Yun Chu didn't remember how many years he hadn't gotten it, he was either fined or on the way to being fined...... Why was the last time he was fined, Yun Chu can't remember clearly, he only remembers that he was fined for five years, and it seems that he was fined 500 catties of copper during this period?
Under normal circumstances, Li Zhi was still a strict emperor, and when Yun Chu saw the 'Evergreen Marquis' sign on this pine tree, he immediately knew why he was promoted by the emperor to Lantian County Duke by two levels.
"In the future, the title will be rotten on the street."
Yun Chu said to Di Renjie with a panting tenderness.
Both of them are now county men, that is, they have just entered the ranks of lords.
Li Hong said: "Where did Master say this? ”
Yun Chu looked at Li Hong and said, "You, why can't you even understand your father's heart?" ”
Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "Father is really going to implement the Tui En Order?" ”
Yun Chu clicked his mouth and said: "Originally, there was a title, after the implementation of the Tui En Order, it would become two or three, if there are enough sons-in-law, I don't know how many will become, if Your Majesty wants to take strong medicine this time, even the concubines and illegitimate children will not be spared, there will be a spectacular scene of marquis, earls as many as dogs, viscounts, and barons walking all over the ground in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Gently and distressedly, he said to his wife: "Don't take my Linchuan baronial title to show off in the future, it's not enough to be ashamed." ”
Di Renjie frowned and said: "If there are too many jazzes, if they are exiled like this, the people will be unlucky, the title is not worth much in the officialdom, but it is enough to scare the people." ”
Yun Chu sneered and said, "You forgot how the title came about. ”
Di Renjie said: "In the whole Cypriot army? ”
Wen Rou also smiled and said, "Send them some higher-grade officials without titles?" ”
Yun Chu opened his arms and said: "Cut a batch, remove a batch, and then stuff a batch in the army, and Your Majesty's plan to remove the lord will basically succeed." ”
Speaking of this, Yun Chu looked at Li Hong and said: "After you take the throne, you will raise the title little by little, be knighted in strict accordance with military merits, and then promote a group of nobles to be used, Your Majesty will go far for the prince." ”
Li Hong spread his hands and said, "In the days that can be expected, I don't seem to be able to see a battlefield that can produce a great lord. ”
Yun Chu smiled: "Then it is even more precious." ”
After Yun Luan sprinkled a soak of urine at the feet of Changqing Hou to show his respect, Yun Chu and his party bid farewell to Changqing Hou and continued to climb up.
No one wanted to talk along the way, because the steepest part was reached.
When they climbed the South Heavenly Gate for a full hour, Yun Chu finally understood why the road at the foot of the mountain was so rough, and Teng Wenzhong, the dog thief, spent sixty percent of his budget on the Heavenly Street above the South Heavenly Gate.
This guy actually built a gorgeous palace for the emperor on the Heavenly Street - the Heavenly Palace!
Just looking at the newly excavated bluestone slabs under his feet are laid extremely flat, even the surrounding stone railings are specially carved with white stones, and the most important thing is that on the stone wall on one side, he actually dug out a cave, which turned out to be the statue of Tang Gaozu and Taizong, and Li Xianzheng took Li Xian and Li Dan out of the cave with a solemn expression.
The cave was dug very widely, Yun Chu checked it at random, and found that there was enough for another statue inside, if he guessed correctly, it should be a reserved place for Li Zhi.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei were looking at the sea of clouds, and when they saw Yun Chu and his party coming up, they beckoned to him and said, "Come here, make a poem for me." ”
Yun Chu unloaded the backpack from his body and said, "How is Dai Zongfu?" Qi Lu Qingwei is gone. Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk. Swing the chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to return to the bird. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”
Because it was just a recitation, and this poem was something that had to be memorized before, Yun Chu didn't hit it at all, and when the backpack landed, a magnificent "Wangyue" had already been made by him.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why?" ”
Yun Chu said very naturally: "The article is natural, and the magic hand can get it." ”
"I'm asking why you're doing it so quickly."
Yun Chu said: "Dictate what you think in your heart, so it's fast." ”
Wu Mei said: "Didn't you do it in advance?" ”
Yun Chu said: "This situation and this scene, only Mount Tai has, and I have never heard of it anywhere else." ”
Li Zhi said angrily: "You came up, why don't you greet me as soon as possible?" ”
Yun Chu arched his hand and said: "Let's go and meet Gaozu and Taizong first." ”
Wu Mei followed angrily and said, "Why are you so arrogant in front of Your Majesty? ”
Yun Chu arched his hand and said: "When it comes to poetry, the minister should be an immortal." ”
Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said, "Where do you have the slightest bit of an immortal's bearing?" ”
Yun Chu reluctantly bowed his hand again and said: "I hope that this song "Wangyue" will be composed by His Majesty. ”
Li Zhi looked left and right, and found that there were only the queen and the prince around him, and then there was a stupid Chun Mama, as for the low-grade gentleness, Di Renjie was still waiting for the eunuch to bring them over in the distance, so he nodded and said: "You can't make such a heroic essay in two hundred and five." ”
Wu Mei said suspiciously: "Didn't tell others? ”
Yun Chu said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty asked, no one has heard of it. ”
Wu Mei said: "Then take the mountainside Changqing Marquis as the theme, and make another poem, it is good, and your wife and children can stay in the palace tonight." ”
Yun Chu said: "Three women and children. ”
Wu Mei glanced at the gentleness in the distance and said to Di Renjie: "Yes." ”
Yun Chu immediately said: "Insist that Qingshan will not relax, and the roots are in the broken rock. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south."
After chanting, before Wu Mei could show any strange expression, Li Zhi's face began to twitch again, which was a precursor to his anger, Yun Chu hurriedly bowed down and said, "This poem must be made by the queen." ”
Li Zhi's face no longer twitched, Wu Mei's face turned red, Yun Chu took the opportunity to retire, leaving this pair of dragon husband and phoenix wives on this heavenly street, and continued to enjoy the climax of the two exquisite poems of the imperial system.
