Chapter Eighty-Eight: Writers
The most lively thing in Linhuai County is naturally the Ya Office Street where the main gate of the county government is located.
And Houya Street, where the county government is located, is too deserted.
This is like the relationship between the face and the buttocks, the face is beautiful all day long, but the buttocks are hidden and no one is seen.
Because the back office is the inner house of the county, and the county lord is only in office, he is also honest and self-controlled, and does not engage in crooked ways. Naturally, there are basically no people in Houya Street.
There was only one inconspicuous tavern on the whole street, half-dead.
It was almost noon at this time, and there was a table of customers in the store.
The shopkeeper was looking forward to it, and finally looked forward to a middle-aged guest wearing a felt hat coming to the door.
"Guest officer, please, private room or private seat?" The shopkeeper personally greeted him.
"I have an appointment." The guest bowed his head and pointed inside.
"Hey." The shopkeeper was deflated, and the guest who was hiding his head and tail was introduced into the private room in the corner.
"Two guest officers, the people who are waiting for you are here."
The two guests inside raised their heads when they heard this, one was the chief of Han Zhixian, and the other was a scholar in his forties with a round face and long beard and squinting.
~~
Seeing someone coming, the chief casually got up and gave up his seat, and went out to order food with the shopkeeper.
After the visitor took his seat, he took off the large-brimmed felt hat on his head. The scholar leaned closer to look at him and said, "You are not Han Boshi, Han Boshi is not so old." ”
The person who came had to take off the fake beard on his cheeks again, and his face was young when he came, it was Han Yike. Bethel is his word.
"Mr. Guanzhong's short-sightedness is getting worse and worse." Han Yike said helplessly.
"Who's to say it isn't? During the Chinese New Year, my grandson put the unfinished explosion on my desk. Mr. Guanzhong smiled bitterly: "I wrote a book at night and touched it, and I couldn't see what it was, so I took it to the lamp and looked at it carefully." ”
"The result?"
"As a result, the medicine line ignited when it touched the fire, and it exploded immediately, and my ears were ringing and my face was black, so I knew that I had taken a big explosion." Mr. Guanzhong said jokingly.
"Oh haha......" Han Yike was amused and laughed, pointing at the other party and said: "No wonder Mr. is so good at telling stories!" ”
"Oh, you've read what I wrote?" Mr. Kanaka asked in surprise, "I don't think I have shown it to your father and son." ”
In these years, it has not yet reached the hall of elegance, and it cannot be regarded as a manifestation of talent like poetry and poetry. Rather, it is regarded as a sign that the reader is not doing his job. So many times, before the moment Fu Zi was published, he didn't know that he was.
"In the fourth year of Hongwu, the family teacher went to retreat, and I went to Qingtian to meet, where I happened to see Mr.'s manuscript." Han Yike explained.
"That's the only possibility." Mr. Guanzhong bowed his head and said: "At that time, I asked my son to bring the manuscript to Liu Bowen, ask him to correct it, and by the way, see if he can help me publish it." ”
"The tutor said that the book was excellent, but it couldn't be published for a while." Han Yike is worthy of the name of fast talking.
"Well, I'll go to Kyori to see him this time, and he'll already tell me." Mr. Guanzhong sighed, and asked casually, "Can you put the book aside, which one do you think is the best?" ”
""The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons", "The Romance of the Five Dynasties of the Remnant Tang Dynasty", "The Complete Biography of the Water Margin", and "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I have read all four books." Han Yike commented seriously:
"I foolishly think that "Water Margin" is the best. In fact, "Three Kingdoms" has more style, but unfortunately there are only twelve volumes, and there are no more below.
So it can't be compared to "Water Margin". ”
"What do you mean there's no more? Eunuchs? Mr. Guanzhong scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, "Three Kingdoms" is not a eunuch, there will be one below!" It's just not written yet......"
"Well, if Mr. can write a peerless masterpiece like "Water Margin", "Three Kingdoms" will definitely be more exciting!" Han Yike praised it vigorously, forgetting the entanglement before coming and covering it up when he came.
""Water Margin" is actually the original work of the family teacher Shi Nai'an, and I compiled it into a book." Mr. Guanzhong corrected with a straight face.
Now needless to say, I know that his surname is Luo, and his name is Luo Guanzhong.
"That's right, Nai An Gong must be eighty years old now, right?" Han Yi said in his heart, it is estimated that his eyes are worse than Luo Guanzhong.
"The family teacher Hongwu passed away in the third year of immortality, and he died at the age of seventy." Luo Guanzhong said lightly: "It was in order to fulfill the last wish of the family teacher that I sent the manuscript to Liu Bowen to see." ”
"That's right." Han Yike sighed regretfully.
At this time, Chang Sui knocked on the door, and the two stopped talking and asked the store to come in to serve the vegetables.
~~
When the food is served, the door of the private room closes again.
Han Yike poured a glass of wine from a pot, sprinkled it on the ground and said, "Respect Shi Nai'an Gong, and his Liangshan heroes." ”
"Okay." Luo Guanzhong stroked his palm and smiled: "Bo Shi is the first to say this, but it will definitely not be the last." ”
"I absolutely believe it." Han Yike nodded heavily, and then broke the harmonious atmosphere of the fan meeting.
"It's just that Mr. shouldn't go to Jingshi to find my master again." He said in a deep voice: "The family teacher is worried and scared, and he is in trouble, and if you go, I am afraid that you will be made a fuss by someone with a heart." ”
Saying that, he poured another glass of wine and said sadly: "I, Zhedong, have killed Qingqiuzi and Wang Changzong in vain, and I can't bend my husband and family teacher anymore!" ”
"How can he be in the next place, and be tied with Mr. Qingtian?" Luo Guanzhong shook his head and said: "Besides, what Zhu Hongwu wants to kill is us, the old ministers of King Cheng, what does he have to do with him, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Sir, you can't say that, at the beginning, each was its own master, but now the world is mixed, everyone is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, do you want to divide each other again?" Han Yike shook his head.
"You should go and tell Zhu Hongwu what you say!" Luo Guanzhong suddenly raised his voice, and his chest fell together.
He wanted to clip a pair of chopsticks and broad beans, but he couldn't do anything.
~~
The grievance between Lao Luo and Boss Zhu is easy to explain.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River divided the world. Zhu Yuanzhang was sandwiched between Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and it looked like he would be finished at any time.
And the territory occupied by Zhang Shicheng is from Shaoxing in the south, Jining in the north, Huaixi in Henan in the west, and the sea in the east, more than 2,000 miles in length and width, controlling the richest place in the world, with hundreds of thousands! No matter how you look at it, it looks like the winner in the end.
In addition, Zhang Shicheng was generous and generous, and he also liked to solicit guests, and often gave away luxurious chariot and horse residences, gold and silver treasures, so many literati in Jiangnan at that time joined his Great Zhou regime.
Among them are Shi Nai'an, Luo Guanzhong's master and apprentice, and Qingqiuzi mentioned by Han Yike just now.
Qingqiuzi is Gao Qi, the first genius in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty.
As a result, they soon discovered that Zhang Shicheng had no ambitions, did not listen to advice, only knew pleasure, and could not seize the great opportunity in front of him, and he could not do Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already eliminated Chen Youliang.
So they left Zhang Shicheng in disappointment.
For these scholars of the landlord class, Zhu Yuanzhang despised them very much in his bones. However, the country has been initially decided, and winning the hearts and minds of the people is the most important thing. Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he not only did not blame the past, but also invited them to come out as officials to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
However, the twisted melon is not sweet, and Boss Zhu and the literati can't urinate a pot after all. What the literati wanted was a relaxed political environment, a privileged economy, political preferential treatment, a punishment for doctors, and a world for kings and scholars.
In short, even if it is not as good as the Song Dynasty, at least the treatment cannot be worse than that of the Yuan Dynasty, right?
It's a pity that they met Boss Zhu......
