Prime Minister

Chapter 146 Learning Poetry
After Zhang Yue left, calligraphy professor Yang Nanzhong walked into Li Gou's room.

Yang Nanzhong glanced at Zhang Yue's back and said with a smile: "Which student is this so temperamental?"

Li Gou glanced at Yang Nanzhong and said, "He's from Fujian. If Mr. An Ding hadn't repeatedly told me to take care of him when he returned to Hangzhou, I would have kicked him out of the Taixue long ago."

Yang Nanzhong laughed and said: "What a Li Xujiang, he has always been so outspoken. I'm going to recommend someone today, who happens to be from Fujian. I dare not say that."

"If there are real talents and practical learning, I am willing to meet them head on, if not, don't blame me for my bad face."

Yang Nanzhong said: "Of course there is. This person's name is Zheng Huan. He paints in cursive script and is best at drawing figures. I also ask Mr. Xu Jiang to recommend him to the painting academy."

Li Gou glanced at Yang Nanzhong and said, "Why don't you report this to prison, if I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

After Hu Yuan left.

Then Tie Yushi Wuzhong re-judged Guozijian.

Wu Zhongfu is stern and selfless, he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, and he is extremely strict with the school rules.

Talking about ruling in Taixue, the style of female characters prevails, known as the "No Official Yushitai", not only that, even today's emperor dares to criticize.

Now the official is a good-tempered person, and he never cares about these words when they reach his ears, but the courtiers below can't stand it, especially after Wu Zhongfu was ordered to be sentenced to prison.

One day when he was inspecting the dining hall, he happened to be listening to two imperial students talking about government affairs and criticizing Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and other ministers in power, but he caught him on the spot.Wu Zhongfu was furious and wanted to expel the two from their studies.

After Li Gou learned about this matter, he led the imperial academy to speak directly, and the doctor and other academic officials interceded for the two imperial students.

Wu Zhongfu claims to be stern and selfless, but he is listening to persuasion.

So the two quarreled and almost tore their faces.

In the end, the two imperial students dropped out of school on their own initiative. As soon as this matter left the Imperial College, they were at odds with the imperial school.

Yang Nanzhong sighed: "The personal grievances between you and the judge have now spread to the Taixue. You are too straightforward and obstinate, so can't you say something nice to Judge Wu?"

Li Gou changed his face and said: "Where is the big festival, how can you give in easily. When Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling were in charge of absurd government, the state was entrusted to the eunuch temple, and the students of the imperial court were ashamed to be with them. Speaking out of righteousness, this is also a great event in the history of history." The book special book."

"As for the students' words, it is unavoidable to advance lightly and fiercely, but they can be guided slowly, but they cannot be blocked. Wu Jianjian's move is close to treachery, ruining his reputation for the rest of his life!"

Yang Nanzhong shook his head, he knew that even if he debated with Li Gou for three days and three nights, he would not be able to convince the other party.What's more, the talents in my chest are not enough to argue with Li Gou for three days and three nights, so I just let it go.

Yang Nanzhong immediately took a few pieces of paper from Li Gou's table and asked, "What is this?"

Li Gou said, "Jiefu gave it to me."

Yang Nanzhong read a few words: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind..."

Then Yang Nanzhong said: "These three-character poems are even superficial, why do you value them?"

Yang Nanzhong said: "It's a long story. When Wang Jiefu knew Changzhou, Uncle Chen Yang wrote him a letter and called him a prodigy in the countryside. He wrote this poem. Wang Jiefu read it and found it catchy and interesting. He said that today the boy is just learning. "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand-Character Essay" are used to make sense every day, and if you add this three-character poem to increase your knowledge and understand the truth, it can be called the best."

"After Wang Jiefu popularized this book in Changzhou, many old Confucians praised it as good. Now he happened to come to Beijing to report on his work, so he found me. Let me report it to Supervisor Wu, so that this poem can be promoted to schools in all states and counties."

Li Gou and Wang Anshi did meet once.

Li Gou is 12 years older than Wang Anshi, and the two have quite close contacts.

Zeng Gong was a student of Li Gou and a close friend of Wang Anshi.

After Wang Anshi went to Beijing to shangshu Emperor Renzong, the stone fell into the sea, and did not get any reply from Emperor Renzong.

Wang Anshi's ten-thousand-word book was originally full of enthusiasm, and he had a good strategy for governing the country and the country in his chest. As long as the officials were willing to adopt it, he could display the strategy and repay the officials for their kindness with his life.

However, Emperor Renzong's indifferent reaction made Wang Anshi feel ashamed.

In this Shuli Wang Anshi believed that "there is still a way to manage the world's security and chaos, and there is no rush for today's time", and Emperor Renzong was a little bit greedy for "Yi Yu".

Wang Anshi became disheartened, met Li Gou and asked him to recommend the three-character poem on his behalf, and he planned to resign from office and return to his hometown for retirement.

However, at this time, Song Renzong entrusted Wang Anshi with a heavy responsibility, and asked him to serve as a member of the ancestral hall and a judge of the third division.

The third department was the real power department of the Song Dynasty, and the third department of the government affairs of the court could manage most of it.

These three divisions are Yantie, Duzhi and Hubu.The Duzhi Division where Wang Anshi is located is led by Duzhi envoys, one deputy envoy, and three judges.

The job is to control the wealth and wealth of the world, and check whether it is available or not every year, and control its entry and exit, so as to calculate the use of the state.

This position allows Wang Anshi to understand all aspects of the Song Dynasty's finances and learn a lot of experience in governing the country.

However, Li Gou was entrusted by Wang Anshi, but failed to report the three-character poem to Guozijian, all because of his discord with Wuzhong, which led to this matter.

Li Gou felt very sorry for this.

Yang Nanzhong heard Li Gou talk about Wang Anshi and said with a smile: "Although I don't know Jiefu, I know from this article that officials definitely don't want him."

"How did you meet?"

Yang Nanzhong smiled and said: "Do you know that in the second year of Qingli, Wang Jiefu could have won the first prize, why did he take the fourth place?"

"Why?"

Yang Nanzhong said: "I heard the words of my grandfather Yan Gong. He wrote a sentence in the palace examination article, "a child is his friend"! This statement comes from "Luo Gao" and it is the words that Zhou Gong persuaded to become a king. Wang Jiefu called the official in the tone of Zhou Gong Is it okay to be a child? Therefore, the officials have demoted Wang Jiefu to fourth!"

Li Gou said: "There is another matter."

Yang Nanzhong said: "Now that Wang Jiefu persuades the officials again, it's the same, and we will repeat the same mistakes!"

Li Gou said: "No wonder, no wonder, if Wang Jiefu hadn't been hopeless in his official career, he wouldn't have given me this poem and told him repeatedly. It's a pity."

When Yang Nanzhong saw Wang Jiefu and Li Gou valued the three-character poem so much, they also re-read it.After reading this time, I also feel that it is catchy to read, and this sentence is approachable.

"It has both the literary talent of a thousand-character prose and the beauty of memorizing hundreds of surnames. It is really a good prose. You said it was written by a prodigy. Why does such a prodigy not know his name? If it is given to an official, he will be given a half-job It's not difficult either."

Li Gou said, "I thought so too."

But now Zhang Yuezheng, the 'author' of the three-character poem, returned to the house full of anger and told Liu Ji about it.

Liu Jiyi said: "It's too harsh to speak directly, how can there be such a reason."

"Although your poems and fus have always been negative, the scriptures and meanings have always been excellent, so it's not a case of dismissal."

In Taixue, because Hu Yuan advocated Confucian classics, Jinshizhai took three days to test poetry and Fu, and eight days to test the meaning of classics.

On weekdays, private exams are assessed, and students are graded with poems, scriptures and scriptures as Youping.

If the meaning of the poems and scriptures is excellent, it is the top, one is excellent and the other is average, and if it is equal and one is excellent and the other is not, it is the bottom.

If one draws one negative three times, or two negatives once, the original place of residence will be issued.

Zhang Yue's three private examinations were one excellent and one negative, and it was not his turn to be dismissed.

At the same time, Taixue also has an assessment of martial arts, which is determined by the direct speaker and the head of the house.

To be frank, it mainly depends on the amount of "wind exposure" on weekdays and whether it is "not staying overnight". For Huang Haoyi, who is "frail and sick", he can only get one in the arts.

As for Zhang Yue, a good student who doesn't leave the gate and studies in the Zhai all day, plus he has a good relationship with Liu Ji on weekdays, his art is naturally "excellent".

From this point of view, there is no reason for Zhang Yue to be expelled no matter what.

Therefore, Liu Ji was also angry because of Zhang Yue, and speculated whether Li Gou was avenging his personal revenge.

Liu Jidao: "Don't worry, Sanlang, I have a good relationship with Yang Zhidao, and I will ask him to intercede for you. Even if Li Zhidao doesn't show affection, he will show Yang Zhi three points of face."

Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is not very good, since Zhang You has always been at odds with Yang Nanzhong, this favor should not be owed.

Zhang Yue immediately said: "Thank you for your righteousness. I am indeed not proficient in poetry and articles. It is not without reason to directly reprimand. I think I will study poetry and fu in these three months. If it fails, I will come back later Ask the Chief for help."

Liu Ji nodded after hearing this, and said, "Well, just Yi Sanlang. But San Lang still needs to find a famous teacher to learn poetry and prose. Now that the spring is coming, the people in the studio may not have the time to give advice, it is best to ask a famous teacher."

Zhang Yue listened to Liu Ji's advice, but wondered where to find a teacher who could teach him poetry and fu.

At this time, Zhang Yue thought of Cai Que. After entering the Taixue, the two of them didn't move around much.

Cai is indeed a man of great fame and fame. This time he won the No. 60 No. [-] student in the examination, and the probability of being a Jinshi is quite high.

It is actually not difficult for Tai students to solve the [-] quotas. Except for Guoziyuan, the order of rankings is of little value for the final reference of the provincial examination.

But being able to enter the 62nd place shows that Cai Que is still very good. Zhang Yue also knows that Cai Que writes excellent poems and fus.

In history, he was appreciated by Han Jiang, that is, a flattering poem "Confucianism Yuan pushed the Tang officials in the past, and the altar is now worshiping Han Huaiyin".

At that time, Han Jiang was the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Province, and Cai Que hosted a banquet in honor of him, and presented this poem during the banquet.

Coupled with the later "Chegai Pavilion Poetry Case"...

Therefore, when Zhang Yue found Cai Que and planned to ask for poetry, he also reacted. How can I ask Cai Que to learn poetry? My own operation is really touching.

Fortunately, Cai Que said bluntly that he is currently busy preparing for the provincial exam and has no time for it.

However, Cai Que was really righteous, and immediately recommended Zhang Yue to ask Wu Chuhou, his teacher of poetry and Fu, to study with him.

Wu Chuhou is now serving as the supervisor in Beijing. He is a soldier of Shaowu.Shao Wujun used to control Jianzhou before the Song Dynasty, so he and Zhang Yue can be regarded as fellow villagers.

But when Cai Que mentioned Wu Chuhou, Zhang Yue's heart trembled.

Isn't this person also a traitor in Song Shili?

When we arrived in the Song Dynasty, we didn't do anything, and we saw "treacherous ministers gathering together". Next time we meet Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Lu Huiqing, everyone can play two tables of mahjong.

Cai Que was very enthusiastic, but Zhang Yue thought that he learned poetry from Wu Chuhou, so he was afraid of following in Cai Que's footsteps.
