Gao Yu didn't get a good meal in the end, and was sent away by Su Shi, who was worried about his heart.

He is just a scrivener hired by Su Shi, not a family member, in plain words, Gao Yu is Su Shi's personal secretary, and at the same time serves as Su Shi's entourage when he goes out, because Gao Yu has a good stick and can protect him.

It's just that Gao Yu likes to use Sumen's disciples to elevate himself on weekdays. And as far as Gao Yu's identity is concerned, it is impossible for Su Shi to let Gao Yu live at home. Gao Yu's main job in Yingzhou was to go back and forth between the state government and Su Shi's residence, and send official documents and the like for him to approve. It's just a matter of dealing with some inconsequential correspondence at the same time.

As the only guest, Li Kui stayed alone to eat, and his eating movements, anyway, everyone who dined with him could eat an extra bowl of rice. However, what made him strange was that Su Shi, who was here, even with the two grandmothers and the little uncle Su Guo, seemed to be absent-minded. Su Guo saw that his parents and aunts were worried, but he had experienced that kind of frightened and frightened days, and when he saw that his expression was wrong, he immediately became worried.

I thought it would be time to say goodbye after eating.

Unfortunately, Li Kui was taken to the study by Su Shi.

Looking at the room full of books, Li Kui sat down in horror, and suddenly there was a kind of monster that was suppressed by the demon mirror, and it was about to show its original form.

It sounds a bit like the deep feeling of a scumbag.

But the question is, can Li Kui burst out in front of Su Shi as a scholar?

No way.

was extinguished by Dasu in minutes, believe it or not? Anyway, as a party, Li Kui is convinced of this.

After Su Shi sat down, Li Kui, as a junior, could only serve and make tea, although Su Shi could eat coarse tea and light rice, but now his life is much better, and his taste suddenly became worse. Looking at Li Kui's skill in making tea, he shook his head again and again.

Li Kui is also helpless, he likes to drink tea, and he doesn't like the taste of tea, if there is fried green or something like that, but the raw tea of the Song Dynasty is too headache, the tea is ground into crumbs and then put in a clay pot, like boiling Chinese medicine. In particular, the addition of spices, salt, and various condiments has reduced the taste of the tea to the point that Li Kui is unacceptable.

"Master, the tea is ready."

Li Kui served fragrant tea, although Su Shi felt that Li Kui's tea making skills were poor, and the taste of the tea soup might not be too good, but the filial piety of the apprentice still couldn't bear to blow, so he frowned and took a sip and hurriedly put it down.

Really......

For more than an hour after that, he never touched the teacup again.

Su Shi left him without planning to take the school examination, but was frightened by Gao Yu's words, and wanted to ask the whole story: "I heard that there were two people who came with you, but I don't know why they didn't come today?" ”

Li Kui was puzzled, Qin Wenguang and Han Dahu visited, it is strange that you can always be happy.

As for why Su Shi asked about this, Li Kui also didn't know the truth, but the identities of these two people were fine, at least they would not be disgusted to the point that Su Shi was unacceptable, and he was not even allowed to enter the door.

"Qin Wenguang and Han Dahu are both the sons-in-law of General Liu Baosheng, the capital of the Huaiyang Army, and the Liu family has a daughter who entered the palace a few years ago." Li Kui explained: "The Liu family is quite favored by today's official family in the palace, and the official family is hindered by the lack of pro-government, so they have not given the Liu family a proper name. The two of them are Liu's brothers-in-law, and they want to rely on business to run some money, so that they can have the financial resources to take care of the palace. I just happened to have a secret recipe for making salt to remove bitterness and poison, and I was ready to do a big job. ”

"I see." The nervousness on Su Shi's face went down a lot: "In this case, it's inappropriate to write poems, it's too close to the harem, which is disgraceful." Second, there are many rights and wrongs in the harem, and it is best to stay away from it. ”

Li Kui only had to admit it: "What the ancestor said is right. In his heart, he lamented that Plan 1 had failed and that he could only launch an alternative plan.

Su Shi may be a little unfamiliar with other people in the palace, but he is very impressed by this group of female officials. Because this is the Empress Dowager Gao's granddaughter-in-law, who raised her own grandson since childhood, there are a total of 100. It is foreseeable that after the official family is in power, an edict will be issued to entitle the queen, concubines and other upstarts in the harem.

And these little girls at that time are now about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they must be starting to get restless in the harem.

The reason why Su Shi is so clear is that when he was in the capital, he not only served as a bachelor to participate in politics, but also served as an imperial teacher, and he is a poetry teacher of today's official family.

Although in terms of Su Shi's talent, the imperial emperor did not dare to let him teach him the imperial arts, government affairs and other studies, for fear that the emperor would be led astray by Su Shi. His ability to govern is very poor, and even the tasks assigned by the court may need the assistance of the officials to complete. The only thing that can be praised is that he is very obsessed with water conservancy, and later generations have the title of embankment maniac. After thousands of years, there are three Su Causeways that have been preserved alone. The Su Causeway under construction in Yingzhou is the second, and the first record is set at the Su Causeway in Hangzhou's West Lake.

Of course, you should be more tolerant of your family, after all, not every family is Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi.

In terms of poetry and calligraphy, it is almost impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to be stronger than Su Shi.

He was the emperor's poetry teacher, and naturally no one would find it inappropriate. After being in contact with the young official family for a long time, he also felt that the fat powder on the official family was heavier.

The emperor originally grew up in a place like the harem, where yin and yang are declining, and there will be problems in his personality. Hanging out with hundreds of little girls all day long, how can you not be a 'mother'.

When the Empress Dowager prepared a harem for the nine-year-old emperor, she did have the idea of letting the official family have more children, but if the seedlings were promoted, there would be problems after all.

If it was according to Su Shi's character before the Wutai poetry case, he couldn't help but say it a long time ago.

But he almost got a different head because of slandering the emperor, which made him understand the royal affairs, and it was better for him to be less harmonious.

Su Shi, who thought that he had made a big mistake again, didn't expect that it was his disciple's concubine's family who came to slap him, so his heart cleared up, and his mood suddenly improved. Since it was the family of the woman next to the emperor who gave him money, it was equivalent to an apprentice giving money to the teacher, and he had no psychological burden at all to take it. The gift from the Liu family, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to send it back. So Su Shi asked Li Kui to divide the things sent by the Liu family, and Li Kui also agreed.

Su Shi, who was in a good mood, felt that he should spread something meaningful to his disciples.

For example: learning.

It is very common to have a pleasant face and a pleasant Bachelor Su, but it is rare to see a serious and serious Bachelor Su. If Su Guo, who is familiar with his father's habits, is on the side, he will naturally understand that this is the link where his father wants to torture Li Kui's knowledge. Su Shi asked Li Kui with a serious expression: "Renjie, where have you learned?" ”

"Alas!"

Li Kui subconsciously agreed, but his scalp was already faintly numb.

still hasn't escaped Lao Su's research and learning. Don't think that Li Kui is wronged, he had great ambitions before and had to study hard. But he did it only to gain the status of a man of letters. Purposeful learning to slack off as conditions change.

Moreover, the literati of this era firmly believed that there were countless truths in the book that could help them understand how to govern the people and how to govern the country.

But the problem is that these are of no use to Li Kui at all.

It's not a big talk, it's just to give Li Kui a county territory now...... Alas, not let him lead the people to rebel, but let him govern the place. He is fully capable of leading the people to play with flowers. Of course, he was also very professional in rebellion.

First of all, as a herdsman official, the first task is to calm the place. This is a piece of cake for Li Kui, there are bandits and bandits who plague the people, and he can personally take the lead to destroy them; There are thorns in the scourge places such as bullies, and he can also make the other party understand the truth of life in minutes - life is more important than anything else.

Next, when the local government is appeased and the people are appeased, it is time to develop the local economy, such as the development of local advantageous industries.

Under the leadership of the government, as long as it is properly handled, the target is identified, and a proper positioning is given, it is not a dream to get rich in the township.

This may sound familiar, but yes, this is poverty alleviation.

Li Kui has never eaten pork, hasn't he seen a pig run?

I've listened to it.

With his eyes closed, he can govern a poor county in the Great Song Dynasty into one of the top 100 counties in the Great Song Dynasty in a few years, which is as easy as playing. As for governing the country, it depends on what kind of official he is. He wasn't timid anyway.

To put it bluntly, he just lacks the identity of an official.

He doesn't want a military position, it's too buried.

In the past, he thought that there was only one way to take the imperial examination, but now he found that the status of Jinshi can actually work, and he is even a little eyebrow-raising. At this time, the mind of reading is not as heavy as before.

As for the knowledge that decorates the façade of the literati, he naturally wants to learn it, but as long as he can get by, he is satisfied.

Anyway, Su Shi's son can fall off the list, and he Li Kui is not ashamed to fall off the list, right?

Where would Su Shi have thought that Li Kui had such a dirty mind, which was simply smearing Su Men. Seeing that Li Kui was silent, he asked instead: "Renjie, have you ever studied "Zuo Chuan"?" ”

Su Shixin said: You should learn this compulsory course, right? When he was fourteen years old, he could memorize "Zuo Chuan" backwards, and his son Su Guo was also familiar with "Zuo Chuan" at this age, Su Shi naively thought that the situation of people in the world was similar to that of his family.

Unexpectedly, Li Kui said with a shy face: "Master, haven't you learned yet?" ”

"What about Yi?"

Su Shi thinks that no matter how bad Li Kui is, he should have studied this book, right? After all, the purpose of studying history is to govern, and the purpose of studying "Yi" is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune and conform to the law. It's much simpler than historiography. Many advanced knowledge should be learned early, such as "Yi", because these knowledge will be understood from time to time in many years of life. It's important to take things slowly, but it's not without its benefits.

The difficulty in historiography lies in the sacrificial war and governance strategy...... And so on, all of which are placed in the midst of historical events, and if you don't dig deeper, you can't figure it out at all.

"Yi"?

The perception of the Heavenly Dao, maybe when you will be able to realize some truth. It is a kind of knowledge that seems useless, but can often surprise people.

Li Kui was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart: Master, you can't ask me to use your own reading standards, right? It's so devastating. In the Book of Changes, he knows a few words: 'Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improving.' ’

'The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. ’…… Other than that, I don't seem to have much of an impression anymore. The main reason is that the book is obscure, and no one talks about it just by reading the book, and it is difficult to understand even the words, let alone understand it. It takes the accumulation of life experience to realize the true truth.

But where did he dare to say it?

Su Shi felt that the way of asking was a little wrong, so he frowned and said, "Have you ever studied the scriptures?" ”

Confucianism has the highest status in the classics, and it is an important field to open the difference between ordinary students and scholars, and the top Confucian students at the level of Wenzong take the annotation of scriptures as the glory of their lives, and they are famous in history, such as Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Of course, "Yi" is also in the category of scriptures, which can be regarded as one of the important categories. Including "Spring and Autumn", "Poems", and "Books". It's a pity, Li Kui was dumbfounded and said, "No." ”

"Poetry", that is, "The Book of Songs", Li Kui has memorized most of it, but if he is asked to speak the truth in depth? Kill him, he thinks that "Poetry" is not simple, but where is it not simple? How did he know.

Su Shi was faintly disappointed in his heart, and asked, "Have you ever learned to pass it on?" ”

Biography is second only to classics in Confucianism, and "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Chuan" and "Gu Liang Chuan" belong to the "Spring and Autumn Classic" and are the continuation of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Li Kui's shoulders drooped down, and he said in a low voice: "No." ”

Su Shi was a little anxious: "What about "Erya"? ”

"Erya" is the most superficial knowledge in Confucianism, and its status is the second, and it belongs to exegesis. It is the interpretation of the Chinese character of the Book of Shang. But "Erya" is definitely not the content of Mengxue, and the worst thing is that Li Kui has not learned it either.

Li Kui shook his head blankly.

After a long time, seeing that Su Shi was silent, Li Kui accompanied him with great caution, secretly raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Shi with a stiff expression, and whispered: "Master, the kid has studied the Analects, and I am familiar with this book." ”

Li Kuixin said that he can rely on the "Analects" to support the façade. He thinks there is nothing wrong with it, but what about the depth of the Analects? Zhao Pu, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, once said that half of the treatise rules the world. This book is certainly not simple.

The Book of Rites, the Book of Filial Piety, the Analects, and Mencius were called "Ji" by Confucian scholars, and were books that recorded the words of the sages. The status is only slightly higher than that of "Erya". Among the four books, "The Book of Rites" is a gentleman's norm, "Mencius" is the study of Xiongwen dialectic, and "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects" seem to be very important, but they are just Mongolian textbooks.

But the problem is, Su Shi is also a face-saving person!

Sumen students have always been a clear stream in the world, knowledgeable, but do not follow the crowd. As he said in his poem, they are all well-educated people who have the spirit of poetry and books. Although the personality is uninhibited, they are all outstanding people, when did Su Shi, the head of the Su Sect, take the examination of the school's children's knowledge, and can only carefully pick and choose among the Mengxue?

He can't afford to lose this man!

And Li Kui, who looked ashamed, was like a scumbag in the school, cautiously facing the teacher's inquiry, and responding carefully with a numb scalp.

At this moment, he thought of Li Yun in Yishui County, the kind of elementary school scum who could always bring him a sense of superiority in IQ and pleasure in mood, which was so intimate and lovely.
