Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 564 Brilliant
After watching it all the way, Chu Suiliang felt quite disappointed in his heart. He was quite excited at first, but the more he watched it, the colder he felt.In the end, it turned into comforting myself, thinking in my heart: "Okay, these children haven't experienced it yet, they are too young, and after going through the world, they will get better gradually, gradually get better. "

However, after walking through two examination rooms, he couldn't even comfort the reason of being too young. After all, many scholars are not young, and some even have gray hair on their foreheads and temples, but even though they are older However, the poetry is not necessarily new, which is disappointing.

Chu Suiliang thought in his heart again: "I can only pick the big ones from the poor ones, and pick the better ones from the bad ones!"

With his hands behind his back, he finally came to the examination room where Di Renjie was. Before entering the door, he glanced over and found Wang Ping'an's follower.

He didn't go there immediately, but still looked at each table. After walking for a while, he finally came to Di Renjie's desk. He lowered his head and saw that Di Renjie was still revising the poems, and didn't directly copy them into the test paper. He shook his head, It seems that this guy is not quick to be smart, he is not flexible in his mind, he is worse than most scholars, but Wang Ping'an kept praising him and making nonsense.Was it a foreshadowing laid in advance to win him?
Turning his body sideways, Chu Suiliang went to look at Di Renjie's draft, his eyes went from top to bottom, and he only took a look, and he took a breath, thinking: "It's really bright in front of me!"

If you want to talk about literary talent and calligraphy, Chu Suiliang was considered first-class in the early Tang Dynasty. If his official position is in modern times, he is the top secretary-general, who specializes in drafting important documents. No one dares to say that he must be better than him in pen skills.

Di Renjie's writing style may be better than his in the future, but he is definitely not as good as him now, and he is not even qualified to enter Chu Suiliang's eyes, but Chu Suiliang only read his poems once, and his eyes widened immediately!
He glanced at the poem, then at Di Renjie, and it happened that Di Renjie also looked up at him at this moment.Chu Suiliang smiled, bent down to pick up the draft, read it again carefully, couldn't bear it, nodded, and cried in his heart: "Okay!"

According to the requirements, Di Renjie's poems are also narrative in the first four lines and discussion in the last four lines, but instead of singing praises, he is worried about the livelihood of ordinary people.

This poem is written about a poor girl who earns a living by washing clothes for human beings.The race meeting was held, and her business increased. She washed the clothes day and night, and the skin on her hands was torn, but the girl was very happy, because she thought that she had earned tens of pennies more, and her family Finally, there can be a little meat on the table, and she can also buy a few feet of floral cloth for herself to make a whole body of new clothes. She does laundry for others every day, but she hasn't worn new clothes for many years.

However, when she wanted to go to the market to cut a few catties of meat and buy a few feet of cloth with the extra tens of pennies in her arms, she was disappointed in her heart. She couldn't afford it before, and she still can't afford it now, because ...prices have gone up!She went out happily, but came back disappointed, she had no cloth to make new clothes, only cut a few taels of meat, went home to cook soup, bought some medicine, and bandaged the wound on her hand.Sitting under the oil lamp, she just thought in her heart: "Tomorrow, I have to wash a few more things..."

Chu Suiliang read the draft and gently put it back on the table, speechless for a while.

Once the race is held, the merchants benefit, and the common people also generally benefit. However, such a huge grand event also has advantages and disadvantages. It cannot be perfect just because it is Wang Pingan's idea and it is beyond the times.

For the small people in Shengdou, what affects their lives is not only the extra income, but also the price of goods.When the people's income increases, the things in the market will naturally rise, especially the most basic food and clothing, which will rise the most.For the rich, it doesn't matter how much food and clothing go up, and it doesn't affect their quality of life, but for the people at the bottom, it doesn't affect the 01:30 point.

The rich get richer, and the poor remain poor.The laundry girl written by Di Renjie can at least have more bowls of broth on the table. From the race meeting, she finally got some benefits.But what about those who can't benefit from the race meeting?Their income has not increased, but they also have to endure the pain of rising prices. How is their life?

Should the court care more about them?The last sentence of this poem ends with such a rhetorical question!

The poem written by Di Renjie is completely different from that written by other scholars. None of the other scholars have thought about the issue of prices, but prices are precisely a major issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, which must be resolved. of!
Chu Suiliang was a little ashamed. He belonged to a big bureaucrat. The treatment of officials in the Tang Dynasty was very good. I told him this kind of thing, and when he went out to drink and have fun, some people rushed to pay him, and even if he paid for it himself, and threw a few bunches casually, the store still dared to say to him: "Master Chu, you didn't Is it enough?" Who would dare to say that!

I haven't really paid attention to this issue before. If it wasn't written by this little boy, maybe he won't pay attention to this issue in his life... at least for a few years. Also pay attention!
Chu Sui was ashamed of his conscience, he stretched out his hand, and for the first time, he even patted Di Renjie's shoulder, without saying anything, but the meaning was obvious, boy, you are very capable, this poem is well done, it makes people... ...It's eye-catching!

I have to admit that Wang Ping'an was right, this poem really hurt his eyes, and he discovered a talent!

The examiners, Wailang, looked at this side, and thought in their hearts: "Okay, this candidate named Di Renjie, his paper must not fail. Of course, we dare not fail!"

Chu Suiliang put his hands behind his back and slowly walked back to the main hall.Seeing him come back, Wang Ping'an said: "Master Chu, how about your eyes, I need to show you the officials. If you are stabbed by the strong light, you need to take medicine in time!"

Chu Suiliang waved his hands and said, "Are you kidding? This is an examination room, so don't make fun of it." He sat down and remained silent for a while, before saying, "It really is different!"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites nodded quickly, and said: "Yes, yes. Among the current subjects, the following officer's expectations are good, and this one should be the best."

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "How many of the Jinshi candidates do not have real materials, maybe when the papers are approved, they will find better ones!"

Chu Suiliang and the Minister of Rites shook their heads together. It's not that they didn't see the examination papers of other scholars, and whether there were better ones, didn't they think about it.

The three of them sat down again, and Chu Suiliang said, "I haven't really paid much attention to the prices in Chang'an before. Have the prices of food, meat, and clothing materials increased a lot?"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites shook his head and said: "To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it. The women at home take care of things in the kitchen. They can't tell me about the stove. As for clothes... Xiaguan is always a year old Just a few pieces, wear them in rotation, and let’s talk about sewing and mending, how can lower officials worry about it!"

Wang Pingan said: "The rise will definitely rise. It's the Chinese New Year. If you have spare money, you usually don't want to spend it. During the New Year, you will spend it. Naturally, things on the market will go to the market as you go. After this period of time, It will probably come back.”

Chu Suiliang laughed, and said, "What are those who have spare money talking about doing? What are they talking about? Those who don't have spare money. The price of food and clothing has risen. How do they live their lives? What we need to pay attention to is their life. Don't forget Now, how did the former Sui Dynasty collapse, and how did the rebels appear everywhere, and the family has a surplus of food, so who would rebel!"

The Minister of Rites nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, take history as a mirror, this is what the emperor often says."

Wang Pingan thought: "That's not necessarily true. Brother Li Yuan was also one of the rebels back then. His family's surplus food may be less!"

He didn't dare to say that, it was a rebellion, and he felt rebellious, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

After talking for a while, it was time to close the paper.Suddenly, a person walked in quickly outside the mansion, it was an eunuch, this eunuch slipped in by the wall, apparently not wanting to attract attention, while the officials here kept their eyes on and pretended not to see him.The eunuch slipped into the main hall all the way, saluted Wang Ping'an and the others, and said, "Three lords, the emperor is here, and he is outside!"

Wang Pingan and the three stood up together, thinking in their hearts: "Why is the emperor here?"

Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Then you have to pick up the driver quickly..."

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Don't, don't say anything. The emperor said that his old man was afraid of disturbing the scholars answering the papers, so he didn't come in until the exam was over and the papers were collected. The three adults just went out to meet, don't Make a statement, this is the emperor's order."

Wang Pingan and the three agreed in unison, adjusted their clothes, and went out of the main hall together. Chu Suiliang waved to a meritorious examiner, Wailang, and said: "When the time comes, collect the papers immediately, don't seal them up, and bring them directly to the main hall. on top."

The three of them left the Yushi Mansion, and as soon as they went out, they saw the imperial chariot parked at the door, while Li Shimin got out of the car and stood at the door with his eyes closed, as if he was basking in the sun.

In the distance, many people looked at the emperor. Most of them were the followers of the scholars, waiting outside the door, waiting for the scholars to pass the exam.These people were all excited, unexpectedly waiting for the emperor to come, it was the first time to see the emperor at such a close distance, it was a great blessing.

Chu Suiliang took the lead, and the three of them knelt together to welcome the holy driver. Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "It's not in the court hall, so let's be exempted. Today's exam, have you ever patrolled the exam room? Have you found anyone with outstanding talents? "

In order to show that he attaches great importance to the scholars, Li Shimin came to the examination room to inspect in person after handling the government affairs. He did not bring other ministers, but he came alone.

Chu Suiliang straightened his waist and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the ministers and others have gone to inspect the examination room. When it comes to talents, I did find a few, and one of them is the most... the most eye-catching. The poems he wrote are very impressive. place."

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Really, who is this person, but a famous scholar?"

Chu Suiliang didn't know whether Di Renjie had been noticed by the emperor, but he guessed that the emperor would never have paid attention to someone he hadn't followed.He replied: "It's a young scholar, less than twenty years old, named Di Renjie, a candidate for Jinshi, not a famous scholar."

"Di Renjie? Is that the scholar who followed Wang Pingan to the outside of the pass?" Li Shimin asked casually, seemingly casually.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was fine, and Chu Suiliang was fine, but Wang Pingan was taken aback. The emperor could remember this?As a matter of fact, he not only mentioned Di Renjie on the list of meritorious service in Zheliu County, but also mentioned Di Renjie when he diagnosed smallpox. It's just adding some weight, not really wanting to get any reward, but I didn't expect Li Shimin to remember this person's name.

Wang Pingan didn't intend to hide it, and said: "Exactly, he is indeed my right-hand man. I see that he understands things, so I vigorously cultivate him, which can be regarded as selecting talents for the country." He didn't dare to say that Di Renjie was his sworn brother.

Li Shimin hummed, but didn't ask further, and said: "Since you all said that he has some talents, then I will read his article later. Brilliant? This word is also unique."

Not long after, a merit examiner, Wailang, came out from inside, his head was covered with sweat, he must have known the emperor was coming, he knelt down as soon as he came out, and said: "Mr. Qisheng, this exam is over, and the papers have been collected. Now, the scholars have heard that the emperor is coming, and they are all waiting in the courtyard to pick him up!"

The emperor was waiting outside, and even if he kept quiet, it was impossible for the scholars not to know that they had already lined up in the yard under the organization of the meritorious examiner Wailang, waiting to see him.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the courtyard, all the scholars in the courtyard knelt down together, shouting long live!

Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and warmly asked a few words to let the scholars rest well, be careful not to get sick, and take the exam in the next two days.The scholars were grateful and thanked loudly. Everyone felt that they were valued. The emperor came to see them in person, and in order not to affect their exams, he actually stood outside the door and waited. Such a wise king is hard to find in ancient times!
After some encouragement, Li Shimin ordered the scholars to disperse and go back to their residences to rest, eat and drink.He then entered the main hall and asked the officials to take the test papers, and he wanted to take a look first.

The officials were ordered by Chu Suiliang to put the examination papers of the Jinshi Department on the top, and the first examination paper belonged to Di Renjie. This was to curry favor with Wang Pingan. The emperor read a few copies, and then stopped reading. Wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to see Di Renjie's, and he would not be able to flatter Wang Ping'an.

Li Shimin picked up Di Renjie's examination paper, read it up and down, put it aside noncommittal, and looked at the next one.Wang Ping'an, Chu Suiliang and others stood with their hands down, accompanying the emperor to read the papers.

Seeing the second test paper, who belonged to it, Li Shimin smiled on his face, nodded, and said, "Yes, this poem is very literary."

After looking at another picture, Li Shimin nodded again and gave a good thumbs up.Then he looked down, but he didn't exaggerate in the third picture, and the smile on his face was less. In the fourth and fifth pictures, after reading eight or nine chapters, his smile disappeared completely, and he didn't exaggerate a word again. The speed of the paper is getting faster and faster!

After reading [-] or [-] papers, Li Shimin stopped looking at them one by one, but flipped through them quickly, forty or fifty papers in total, and stopped turning. He pushed the pile of papers aside, and he He picked up the first one again, which was Di Renjie's, and looked at it carefully.
