After apprenticing to Zhou Yuan, Li Kuixin said: "In the future, in this Yishui County, you can also go sideways!" ”

In the following days, Li Kui was left in the county government by Zhou Yuan.

Li Kui is very curious.

Zhou Yuan was amazed.

The main thing is that Li Kui's gift turned out to be a tiger skin.

But Zhou Yuan still accepted it, this is a good story. There are stories, plots, and the national policy of the imperial court to promote culture and education. If Li Kui's reputation didn't stink on the street, this story would be enough to make the tabloids in the capital crazy. And Li Kui is just a teenager who is almost fourteen years old, what can he do to ruin his reputation? It's impossible to think about it with your brain. Zhou Yuan was excited when he thought that he had spent half his life, and the seven-rank civil officials who had been wandering abroad for many years were also famous in the capital.

To explain it in one sentence: brother is going to be developed.

It can be said that both the master and apprentice are very satisfied with this identity.

In the next few days, Zhou Yuan began to reprimand Li Kui. The so-called exegesis is to explain the allusions, sources, and obscure content in the book. "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Essays", there is no difficulty, according to Li Kui's understanding, it is almost the same to say it again. As for those who don't understand, just read books.

Zhou Yuan was quite satisfied with Li Kui's understanding, and he soon discovered that his experience of studying back then was a scum in front of Li Kui.

But this can't hit him, because he has already entered the Jinshi, and the biggest and most difficult hurdle in this life has been overcome, and Li Kui, a stupid boy, has to study since he was thirteen years old, and has to go through the county and state exams, and then fight with the scholars of the whole Song Dynasty to fight for the opportunity to jump the carp and jump over the dragon gate.

Soon, he found that the apprentice he was going to teach and what made him worry, the only thing that needed to be reminded was to avoid it.

There are all kinds of writings in no dynasty or dynasty, because there is a conflict with the imperial power, it is very disrespectful, and it needs to be avoided.

On this day, Zhou Yuan told Li Kui about the words that the dynasty needs to avoid, which is the most important issue in the imperial examination, once there is a mistake on this issue, for a student, more than ten years of hard work will be in vain.

Zhou Yuan ate free sugar fried chestnuts, drank tea leisurely, and began to speak, while Li Kui lay down and recorded seriously.

Of course, Li Kui still has many words that have not been fully mastered because of different complexities and simplifications, and different meanings, but after recording them, there is no problem at all when he returns to his house to tidy up.

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and said: "It is wrong to listen to you recite the first word of the "Thousand Character Text" for the teacher, it should be 'Heaven and Earth Yuan Huang', not 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang', you have to remember here, but in the imperial examination, the "Thousand Character Text" is not examined, and no one will be stupid enough to transcribe the content of the book on the volume, but the word 'Xuan' needs to be remembered in this dynasty. ”

"Does the teacher have a solution?"

After Li Kui wrote it on paper, he was quite sloppy, but he could understand it, and naturally he didn't care. However, he was very curious, and in addition to the names of the emperors of this dynasty, there were also empresses and empress dowagers...... Other than that, there are very few.

Zhou Yuan felt that this story was too bizarre, but he didn't really want to say it in his heart, but since Li Kui asked, he should listen to the story: "Since the beginning of the establishment of my dynasty, there have been many disasters and difficulties, and if I don't talk about internal and external troubles, let's just say that the Liao State will overwhelm me." Taizu and Taizong, both of whom are saints of great talent, have failed several Northern Expeditions. ”

"What does this have to do with 'Xuan' being shunned?"

Li Kui asked. Zhou Yuan glared and said, "Haven't you talked about this yet?" In the future, when you speak for the teacher, you can't interject. ”

"Okay!" Li Kui agreed very happily, but it was the joy of the promise that made Zhou Yuan frown, this kid accepted it humbly, but he didn't change it every time, it was sad.

Li Kui is good at everything, his memory is prominent, and he is studious, but he likes to interject at every turn, maybe the people of Baizhang Village have an unpleasant mouth, Zhou Yuan also thinks that this is Li Kui was born in a mountain and forest village, and it is a manifestation of the simplicity of his body, his anger is fake, but it is true that he wants to reverse Li Kui's bad habit.

Zhou Yuan continued: "This is to say that in the first year of my dynasty Jingde, the Liao State invaded our Great Song border with the troops of the country, and the whole north was in an emergency. At that time, we had 400,000 forbidden troops in the north and 600,000 Liao troops, and the war finally began and ended in Tanyuan. Song Liao has been fighting for the sixteen states of Yanyun for twenty-five years. The big and small wars continued, and all the domestic industries withered, and the name was boring. Both sides had the idea of striking the army, and it was difficult for Song Liao to sustain such a large-scale war. So there was the Tanyuan Alliance, and our dynasty paid 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to the Liao State every year. At this point, the alliance of Tanyuan is also completed. ”

"In the following hundred years, there was no war between our dynasty and Liao. Although it was a good thing for our dynasty, it made the forbidden army slacken, and after that, the Hebei forbidden army was overwhelmed and not mentioned. His Majesty Shinjong was also criticized for his degrading covenant. ”

"That's right, I'm a well-dressed Chinese clan, when did I lose this face?"

Li Kui interjected again, causing Zhou Yuan's boss to be dissatisfied, and scolded: "Do you still want to hear it?" If you don't want to hear it, you can copy "Erya". ”

"The disciple is wrong!"

Zhou Yuan covered his head, his face was speechless, this guy just said that he would not intervene, and it took less than a cup of tea to ...... He also really admired Li Kui's forgetfulness. Fortunately, reading and reciting, this kid is not bad. Otherwise, Zhou Yuan may only stand in the county government and lament, and he will be unladylike.

"Your Majesty was dissatisfied with the people and the government and the opposition, especially the people, at that time, the taxes were already heavy, and the people thought of paying tribute to the Liao State again, wouldn't it be necessary to increase the tax, and rumors were everywhere. The emperor considered the ignorance of the people and believed in witchcraft. In the following years, there were indeed a lot of absurd things in our dynasty, such as the three-legged toad after paying tribute, not to mention the auspicious rui, turned into a golden toad, and was enshrined by the emperor. ”

"But the first emperor always felt that it was a little bit worse to use these auspicious fortunes to induce the people. So one day when he went to court, he told a dream to the hundred officials. He dreamed of the ancestor, Zhao Xuanlang, and this ancestor Zhao Xuanlang has a great background, and he is the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanyuan. The officials naturally didn't believe it, because there was no such person. Li Er, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was ridiculed because he recognized Laozi as his ancestor. I must not do such a foolish thing, but the emperor insisted, and the officials were helpless. ”

"I know......" Li Kui covered his mouth halfway through speaking, he had promised not to interject just now, and he almost forgot in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "Forget it, just say it if you want to!" ”

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, and Lao Tzu was also surnamed Li, so he could naturally recognize his ancestors. But my surname is Zhao, counting two thousand years ago, there is no ancestor of sufficient weight, and it is too bad to recognize one indiscriminately, so I can only make one. Li Kui had insight into Emperor Zhenzong's helplessness, and made a conclusive judgment.

In fact, Song Zhenzong's method really can't hide from people, the princes in the court, which one is not the most intelligent master? If you are not stupid, how can you believe such stupid words?

But Emperor Zhenzong also said that this is the dream of the ancestors, although the ministers think that the emperor is too ridiculous, but they can't be responsible for the emperor for having a dream that he shouldn't have, right?

What's even more ridiculous is that Emperor Zhenzong felt that an ancestor, plus Emperor Xuanyuan's reincarnation identity was not enough, and he needed a witness, and this witness emperor also found it, the Jade Emperor. This made hundreds of officials scratch the wall angrily, and they didn't even have a chance to cross-examine the witnesses! Everyone saw through the absurdity of the True Sect and knew that it was a lie, but it was also a lie that could not be debunked. So it was up to him to go......

Emperor Zhenzong immediately issued an edict saying: "The name of the Holy Ancestor is called Xuan at the top, and Lang at the bottom." No offense. ”

In desperation, the officials accepted the result.

The emperor recognized his ancestors, this is a big event, and it must be done in a big way. Not only that, but also to seal Zen, sacrifice to the temple, and announce to the world, in the Great Song Dynasty, the word "Xuanlang" has been changed to avoid it. In particular, the names of many historical celebrities are taboo and need to be avoided, and in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, all the Xuanwu Gates have been changed to Gongchen Gate.

Another example is the Confucian sage, in the past, the title of the Confucian sage was - Xuansheng Wenxuan King, which was the title of Zhenzong himself and had to be changed to 'Shengwenxuan King'. Not only mortals asked for names, but even immortals did not escape.

The name of the Xuanwu Emperor had to be changed to the Zhenwu Emperor because of the absurdity of the True Sect. This is probably the main god of the most tragic fate in China, and he was forced to change his god name by a mortal emperor.

Speaking of which, the Wenchen of the Great Song Dynasty is also bad, after the death of Zhenzong, according to the emperor's lifetime merits, the ministers formulated the nickname, I am afraid that the nickname 'true', in the two thousand years after the appearance of the nickname, how can there be a feudal monarch or a place after the death of the name of the 'true' precedent? This is a little bit of bad taste of the civil servants. Aren't you capable? Forcing the Emperor Xuanwu to change the name of the god, after you die, you will be given the nickname 'true', and if you have the ability, you can let the Emperor Zhenwu also change the name of the god.

……

A sneaky all day long, pretending to be a ghost emperor is enough, but also met a flattering emperor as his own responsibility to the prime minister Wang Qinruo, today said that there is auspicious, tomorrow said that Mount Tai unearthed the book of heaven, the people of the dynasty tossed enough. Maybe the people were tossed enough, and they didn't have the heart to speak ill of the emperor, so Zhenzong gave up.

Thinking of such a result, Li Kui was also silent after listening to it, and Zhou Yuan, as a teacher, not only told him a story, but needed him to think: "Li Kui, what do you think when you listen to this story?" ”

"The imperial power is too domineering!" As soon as Li Kui said what he thought in his heart, he suddenly felt a little chill in his back, he dared to say that the imperial power was domineering, wouldn't it be fatal?

But after Zhou Yuan heard Li Kui's thoughts, he was greatly appreciative, and his eyes lit up and said: "You have a discerning eye, and you are very comforting to the teacher." Although the imperial power of our dynasty is not as good as that of the Han and Tang dynasties, it is the result of the governance of my sages in the past dynasties. Since ancient times, the monarch has retreated, and the country will be in turmoil. But I never had such a thing, do you know why? ”

"Confucianism is based on loyalty and filial piety, and our officials and eunuchs are all scholars, so naturally they will not harm the court."

To say that Li Kui was nervous because of his gaffe just now, now he is shocked.

Zhou Yuan's courage is also too big, why don't you just say that the emperor can give birth to a baby in the palace with peace of mind, and leave the rest to the ministers to deal with?

Do you dare to say such a rebellious word?
