Chapter 63: The Green Vegetable Race Lamb

The Qin Dynasty's rereading of the history column subverted all the orthodox views of history, but you have to say that there are mistakes, even fallacies, unless you use debate skills and Spring and Autumn penmanship to talk about crooked reasoning like some bulls on the Internet in later generations, so anyone who has read this column and knows how to do it wants to know what Sima Guang will think after reading this column?

What will Liu Shu, Liu Chu, and Fan Zuyu, the co-cultivators of "Zizhi Tongjian", think, and what do Wang Anshi and Su Shi think?

In the back garden of the Bianliang Palace.

"Did the newspaper I asked you to collect last time have it delivered?" said the woman in the queen mother's robe said coldly.

"The Queen Mother. The eunuch behind her said respectfully, "It has just been delivered, and I am about to ask the Queen Mother." "I admire this empress dowager eunuch very much, Empress Dowager Gao'Gao Tao' is the queen of Song Yingzong and the mother of Song Shenzong.

Why did Wang Anshi's change fail, one reason, the Empress Dowager Gao made a move, and the talent of the Empress Dowager Gao was known throughout the dynasty, and now Song Shenzong is dead, Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, with great power in hand, without scruples, and her talent was undoubtedly revealed, which made the old politicians tremble in a short period of time.

"Bring it to Hongu. Empress Dowager Gao ordered lightly.

In the gazebo, soon the newspaper was delivered. "Empress Dowager, this is delivered by an eight-hundred-mile fast horse, a total of four issues, all of which are the latest, this is the first issue. The eunuch introduced.

Empress Dowager Gao nodded and picked up the first issue of the newspaper.

"Young and new?"

Empress Dowager Gao frowned, and after a while, she understood that it was a typographic problem, so she smiled slightly: "It turned out to be a 'new youth', even the layout has changed, young people just like to come in reverse, it seems that this newspaper is for those young students, huh? How is this vernacular?" Empress Dowager Gao was stunned for a moment, she was Cihang Jingzhai's agent in the court, and she was also Gao Tianlai's aunt, so she received a letter from Gao Tianlai very early, saying that Qin Shengchao wanted to run a newspaper, so she didn't have to think about it or stop it. Just by watching, Empress Dowager Gao naturally knew what a newspaper was, and she was a little curious, but she didn't think much about it.

"Newspapers in the vernacular?"

A strong curiosity rose in Empress Dowager Gao's heart. She watched it even again, and suddenly there was a 'huh', and after a while, there was another 'huh', and then the whole person sank completely into the newspaper. I just read one article after another, until I saw the 'Rereading History' column, and the whole person was shocked, and his eyes were full of horror.

She took a slight breath and finished reading the article "Thousands of Years of Misreading Shang Jun's Book, Forcing Qin to Change the Law and Others", but she didn't read the next one, but closed her eyes and rested, rested for a while, and then picked up the newspaper and read the rest of the first issue. After reading it, he didn't speak, but put the newspaper on the table and pondered.

"This son is another Wang Anshi, why does Tian Lai let me not care?" Empress Dowager Gao's mind turned, the newspaper except for a poem "Linjiang Immortal, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", all of them are in the vernacular, this kind of vernacular can actually be written with strong appeal, people can't help but applaud, this is indeed subverting the impression of the Empress Dowager Gao, she is very touched, but the most touching is the article in the 'Rereading History' column.

"I always thought that the reason why Qiang Qin was strong was that everything started from the Shang Yang Reform. It turned out to be wrong, and it was really wrong......"

"This Qin Sheng Dynasty ran this newspaper, from the text usage, typesetting. In history, everything is subverted by tradition, this is a great rebellion, it is to overturn the sky, it is to overthrow everything that exists, why does Tian Lai support him? Support such a rebellious thief. What is there to support such a person who wants to get rid of what we have been insisting on for a thousand years?" Empress Dowager Gao couldn't understand, and even she wondered if the letter she received last time had been tampered with.

"No, I have to find a time to go to Cihang Jingzhai in person. Empress Dowager Gao made a decision in her heart.

Meanwhile.

Sima Guang returned to the mansion.

"Sir, my hometown in Luoyang sent a few letters. The old butler whispered. Sima Guang nodded: "It should be the thing called 'newspaper', send it to the study, and call Kang'er too." ”

Kang'er's name is Sima Kang, who was originally the son of Sima Guang's eldest brother Sima Dan, and Sima Guang had no children, so he recognized Sima Kang as his son.

In fact, Sima Kang is also a bull in history, he has been sensitive and intelligent since he was a child, and he has participated in the revision of "Zizhi Tongjian", but history always seems to like jokes, and Sima Kang is as short-lived as Wang Yan. However, at this time, Sima Kang was not dead.

Soon in the study.

"Father, you called your son, what do you have to teach you?" Sima Kang pushed the door into the study, Sima Guang put down a letter in his hand, nodded and said, "There are a few newspapers here, they are a good thing to get in the future, I haven't read them yet." There were three pieces of paper stacked on the table, Sima Guang took out the first one on it, and pushed the rest aside: "I'll take a look at this newspaper first, and then you can read it later." ”

"Yes, father. Sima Kang replied.

Sima Guang spread out the newspaper and swept his gaze, he knew from the letter that the layout of the newspaper was horizontal from left to right, and it was naturally easy to read through.

"Vernacular?" Sima Guang frowned slightly, and finished reading "Country Kitchen" in one go.

"Is it true to write articles in the vernacular?" Sima Guang sneered in his heart, his eyes moved away from the last paragraph of the first "Country Kitchen", and fell on the four-word poem of "Broken Chapter", and he couldn't help but "hee", his eyes were different and bright, the beauty of the realm of this poem, how could a great writer like Sima Guang and a great poet not see it.

"Kang'er, can you write poems in the vernacular?" Sima Guang put down the newspaper and asked Sima Kang next to him.

"Vernacular?" Sima Kang was stunned, "Bai Juyi writes poems so that the villagers can understand them, this should be ......"

"Bai Juyi's is not a real vernacular, I mean, it doesn't pay attention to all the rules of rhyme, duality, and evenness, and is completely vernacular, just like we speak now. Sima Guang said.

"Just like we talk like this, this can also write poetry?" Sima Kang's face was strange, "Why does my father ask this, isn't it obvious, this question is actually very simple to answer, we just need to take a good poem casually, whether it is Li Bai's or Du Fu's, as long as we translate it into the vernacular, and then look at it." ”

"You mean the vernacular can't be a poem?"

Sima Kang smiled bitterly: "Father, do you need to say this, even if Li Bai and Du Fu's poems are changed to vernacular, they will have no rhyme, and poems will not become poems, which is known to three-year-old children." ”

Sima Guang was silent.

"What's the matter, father?" Sima Kang couldn't help but wonder.

"You're right, Li Bai Dufu's poems have been changed to vernacular, even dogs are ugly, how can vernacular be poetry?" Sima Guang's voice was condensed. He put down the newspaper and walked around the study. Sima Kang couldn't help but be even more puzzled: "Father, can I read this newspaper?" Sima Guang didn't speak, just walked around with a frown. Sima Kang only needed to glance his eyes at the paper. You can see the words written on it, but he has always been rigorous, Sima Guang didn't tell him, he wouldn't do it, but he was extremely puzzled. My father is so talented, why is he asking a question like a three-year-old today?

After walking around Sima Guang's room, he sat down at the table and read the next article in the newspaper, which was Zhu Ziqing's essay "Hurry", he read the book quickly, but this article was read very slowly.

"Kang'er, can you write prose in the vernacular?" asked Sima Guang again.

Sima Kang smiled bitterly, his father chattered after reading the newspaper today. "Father, it is natural to write prose in the vernacular, but the prose written in the vernacular is the same as the poetry written in the vernacular. What's so interesting about looking at it? This kind of prose is not so much prose as it is just a random pile of words and language, and there can be no gods. ”

"There can't be a god?" Sima Guang sighed slightly, turned his head to look at other articles in the newspaper, this time it was Shen Congwen's masterpiece "Border City", Sima Guang read it, let out a long breath, and looked at Sima Kang again.

"Do you say the meat is delicious, or is the green vegetable and tofu delicious?"

"Meat is naturally delicious. Sima Kang couldn't laugh or cry. "But green vegetable tofu, there are delicious and some untasty, but overall. The taste is not as good as meat. ”

Sima Guang nodded: "I used to laugh at some people in the world who grew up eating meat, and they didn't know that the bran nest nest, and the green vegetable and tofu were also delicious in the world.

"Father. Almost all of our meals are green vegetables and tofu. Sima Kang's expression was strange, "In terms of frugality, there are few officials in the entire Great Song Dynasty who can compare with you, how can you say this?"

Sima Guang smiled slightly: "Kang'er, you can take a look at these articles." He pointed to the newspaper that he had read before, "Country Kitchen", "Broken Chapter", "Hurry", and "Border City".

Sima Kang's eyes were puzzled, and he nodded: "Kang'er is curious about what this newspaper writes." He took two steps forward, looked at the article Sima Guang was referring to, and didn't look at it for long before his expression was shocked, "This ...... This ...... "Sima Kang seemed to have seen something incredible, and it didn't take long for him to finish reading the four articles, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Father, you said that we only eat meat and don't eat vegetables, it turned out that this is what we wrote, the articles we wrote, pay attention to rhyme, rhythm, rhetoric, and all rules, this is meat, and he writes articles in plain vernacular, just like green vegetables, although the taste of green vegetables is not as good as meat, but it also has a light taste, just like tea is not as good as sugar water, but it also has a long and light taste?"

Sima Guang nodded.

"By the way, who can discover the beauty of this vernacular, which genius is this?" Sima Kang said curiously.

"This person. Sima Guang's face was complicated, "He is the one who once said that Wang Anshi's change of law was wrong in the Divine Sect." ”

"Qin Xianao?" Sima Kang exclaimed.

A few years ago, Su Shi's director of Hangzhou, coincided with the opening of the Dragon God Palace, and Su Shi wrote a letter to Sima Guang after that, which was written about the Qin Dynasty's reasons for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform.

Among them, it is said that the main reason for the change is 'failure to employ people'.

Neither Sima Guang nor Sima Kang will object to this point of view, because it is an indisputable fact that Wang Anshi used people improperly, but the first inappropriate person mentioned in it did not refer to the people under Wang Anshi, but the spearhead was directed at the emperor of 'Shenzong'.

Crazy! It's completely unthinkable, Sima Guang and Sima Kang almost threw away the letter when they saw this, but then looked at the views of the Qin Dynasty, and couldn't help but feel that it seemed to be very reasonable, and even from a certain point of view, it was absolutely high-minded, and then saw the 'imperial power technique' that talked about 'different theories mixing each other' later, Sima Guang and Sima Kang felt weird, this is indeed a thing, but who will point this out as a courtier.

Then the Qin Dynasty said that the essence of the change was the power of the Divine Sect, etc., which made Sima Guang very strange in his heart, what the Qin Dynasty said, not to say whether it was right or wrong, but there was one thing that had to make Sima Guang have some extraordinary fancy for this person, because this person said that no one else found out, and even he Sima Guang did not find out, this kind of person who is not the same as ordinary people is the most terrible, and it may also be a real talent.

As for Qin Xian Ao Fei Fei and died later, after Sima Guang and Sima Kang found out, their hearts were even more complicated.

Flying is a dream that human beings have always had, and even he Sima Guang has had such a dream, and he also wants to know what is in the sky and the hometown of the crane, but this dream is a dream after all, how can people go to the sky?

But—

Qin Xianao, however, was arguing with people, so he made something that really flew into the sky and realized the first flight of human beings.

But this flight also scared the humans.

The first flight to a high altitude actually had an accident and crashed to death, so no one dared to make that kind of ball again, and of course many people didn't know how to make that kind of flying ball.

Such a young man fell to his death, and Wang Anshi's genius son Wang Yan also died early, Sima Guang had to sigh that it may not be a good thing for a young man to be too smart.

But now—

Qin Xianao didn't die, and he made a newspaper, and this newspaper ...... (To be continued.) )
