Chapter 26 Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyin's Big Gamble (1)

Three updates of 11,000 words to ask for votes and collections

=============

Song Jiu took him to the teahouse and there were two people sitting in the private room. One of them could know Zhao Kuangyi, and another middle-aged man, about forty years old, who was actually thirty-seven. However, after years of military career, he worked hard after becoming an emperor. He looked a little old-fashioned, wearing a flat-shaped squid head used by scholars and officials during banquets. A soft-wrapped scarf, with a low and flat scarf on the top, also called a flat-style small roof, which is a popular scarf that is common to all the nobles and ordinary people. Like Zhao Kuangyi, he is a big face, fat, and very similar to Zhao Kuangyi, but there are many different places. This person is very tall and looks more peaceful than Zhao Kuangyi, not as serious and deep as Zhao Kuangyi.

The two of them sat together, and the person was still sitting in the main seat. Does Song Jiu still know his identity?

Song Jiu knew that Emperor Taizu was a rare people-friendly emperor in history, and was a little afraid. He walked forward carefully and leaned down and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, to the King."

Song Jiu felt embarrassed about his nervousness. Isn’t it just an emperor? He is also a human being. But he didn’t know that his performance had made Zhao Kuangyin look up to him. In this era, when ordinary people saw the emperor, there were a few people who could speak, and some were so nervous that they would tremble.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly: "Flat."

Song Jiu stood up and sat down. Do you dare to sit down?

"You said in Hezhou that you want to drink tea and have a heart-to-heart talk with me, should you drink tea here or in the palace?"

"This is fine. This minister is so nervous that he can't breathe. The minister who entered the palace couldn't even speak."

To be honest, Eunuch Liu was so happy. No wonder the two kings said they had to hold back their laughter when talking to this kid.

"Then let's be here."

Song Jiu was still a little nervous. Zhao Kuangyin revealed his identity, and the servants dared not be negligent. The imperial garden was not far from here, and a servant immediately invited a team of servants to guard him. Outside the teahouse, there were soldiers standing everywhere, fully armed, holding bright weapons in his hands. Song Jiuduo had seen such a scene, and he could still sit firmly, which was already the first-class courage.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Jiulang, please use tea."

"Your Majesty, I dare to take the word "Your Majesty"."

"Not necessarily. If you take me and take the court seriously, your second brother will not have a headache."

"Headache?"

"If you don't talk about this, although your little lyrics were out of tune just now, the text is good. Why don't you do a good job in the imperial examination?"

"Your Majesty, those few small orders are the best among the small orders I have written over the years. I am stupid and I will do it on the spot to write four-six-style parallel prose fu, but I will not do it."

"If you can't write well, don't write it. Why bother to misinterpret parallel prose?"

"Your Majesty, how many ancient sages wrote parallel prose? When did parallel prose be published? When the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the country declined, although the Tang Dynasty used it, the Tang Dynasty emphasized martial arts over literature and blindly opened the borders, which caused the disaster of the Anshi Rebellion. If Your Majesty wanted to promote culture and education and attach importance to cultural governance, he must restore the original appearance of the ancient world and could no longer use parallel prose that was gorgeous but empty, and although catchy, but piled up unknown articles as the mainstream."

The four-six-style parallel prose is a parallel prose that is intersected with four characters and six characters, sometimes a small number of two characters, three characters, five characters, and seven characters. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the development gradually improved, and even the two, three, five, seven, eight or nine characters were much larger, and it could not be considered a standard four-six-style parallel prose, which is the famous work "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" can only be considered an unstandard four-six-style.

Of course, it is very gorgeous, the preface to Tengwang Pavilion, the preface to Afang Palace, and the preface to Ai Jiangnan. These articles are so gorgeous that they are awkward.

However, it is required that the whole article be adjusted by the rhyme, and the four-character and six-character are mainly based on the four-character and six-character. So Li Bai's talent wrote a self-recommendation letter to Han Chaozong. In order to express his own meaning, he only used a few parallel sentences, but did not dare to write parallel prose, and did not dare to write this self-recommendation letter in the four-six style. Li Bai was not good, but there were a few people who were good, and Song Jiu was not good. But generally students did not like Song Jiu, and when they arrived at the examination room, they had their own ways. The Song Dynasty was very humane. The examiner sat behind the curtain. If the scholar was not understanding, he could stand up and ask through the curtain. The examiner explained his doubts behind the curtain. The fill-in-the-blank questions and explanation questions did not count. This refers to poetry, fu, theory, and strategy. Private books were not brought to the examination room, but the examiner was allowed to bring in the two rhyme books of "Chechuang" and "Yu Pian".

There is no way to do this. The candidates include Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Huainan, and Sichuan, Hunan, Lingnan, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The pronunciations in these places are different from those in later generations. When the Yuan and Qing dynasties entered the Central Plains, they were influenced by Northern Barbarians all over the country, but they were either Khitan and Jurchen or Mandarin. They influenced the pronunciation of Chinese, and the pronunciation of Central Plains also affected their pronunciation. That is, Mandarin is in the current place in China, even in the north, it is alien language.

The pronunciations are still different in different places, and these two books must have more correct rhymes.

These students are not brave enough and cannot write well, but they have a way, so they keep flipping through two rhyme books, then stack them up desperately, and put out a sentence separately, and the rhyme is suppressed. The whole article can be read together, and readers often don’t know what they say.

There are also some who write well, but few of them. As long as they can write well, they can do well in high school. But how many people can let go? In fact, if they don’t write well, the examiner is not a fool, unless your backstage is strong, but once the fucking famous system is implemented, everyone will be the same. Therefore, it is better not to write articles that are pieced together. Song Jiu has no backstage, and he cannot write well. He is dissatisfied and wrote this ancient essay.

The story begins now...

"You also said that culture and education should be promoted and cultural governance should be valued. Why do you also say that the Five Dynasties Fangzhen was enough to control the king, and all the military power was released, so that the power was weak and easy to control, and that the descendants were trapped in the enemy country. Seeing the chaos in Hunan, the subjects wanted to think about the changes of the emperor and the revolution, so they wanted to restrain each other because they wanted to restrict their power, but they were afraid that the complexity would follow one after another, and the country was trapped in finance?"

Song Jiu was happy to write, but this sentence made Zhao Kuangyin distressed.

Song Jiu didn't know, but was stunned at first, and looked up at Zhao Kuangyin and thought to himself, "You are busy with so many things, how can you have time to pay attention to the test paper of a failed student?"

But it's not a good answer.

Yesterday, Song Jiu saw something in Kaifeng Prefecture Court, and the system was not perfect. The release of military power had happened. There were still some pseudo-vassal states in various places. They were happy to write it in one go, aiming at the future, and not completely targeting the present. You can eat food randomly, and you cannot speak randomly. He pondered: "Your Majesty, you know the small things, Fang Zhen will definitely not work. A monarch has the ability to control it, and if you don't have the ability, it will inevitably cause the country to collapse. It is right to completely dismiss Fang Zhen's military power, but it is wrong to completely dismiss Wu and Chongwen. As for the constraints of power, the court implemented the system of official duties, and Li Chuyun still happened. With Your Majesty's ability, Later Shu and Southern Tang are not enough to worry about it. Therefore, I speculate that Your Majesty will definitely innovate in order to bring peace to the ages and not cause the people to suffer the pain of suffering. Therefore, I wrote this passage at that time."

"It is not good to release it, it is not good to not release it, it is not good to restrain it, it is not good to not restrain it. Do I want to treat it without doing anything?"

"Govern by doing nothing? That is the angry words that Sima Qian said because of the castration of Han Wu. Who said that Wen and Jing were governing by doing nothing? They were not governing by doing nothing, but a fine-tuning. Therefore, the country is developing and turbulent, and this kind of governance is even more difficult. Sima Qian, a nerd! Li Bai, a mad scholar! Therefore, there is a wise king in the world and cannot be used."

"Nonsense, if you have the talents of Sima Qian and Li Bai, I will dare to use them."

"This, this... Your Majesty, I am worse than them, so I am a little grass man."

Zhao Kuangyi finally couldn't help but laughed.

"Song Jiu, do I also want to learn literary and scenic spots and make me more careful adjustments?"

"Your Majesty, I saw that A came to the capital from the south in winter, and felt that the capital was very cold, so I didn't dare to take off my jacket in summer. I saw A B came to the capital from the north in summer, and felt that the capital was very hot, and that in winter, I only wore single clothes, which was strange."

This is not a funny and boring metaphor.

Zhao Kuangyin was moved, so he stood up and said, "Give tea, give the best tea."

The store owner had already fainted, not knowing that it was happy, excited, nervous, and scared. Since the guards came to clear the site, several people stood there and kept waving their minds, and they heard Zhao Kuangyin shouting upstairs, busy, bringing the best tea leaves, and forgetting to get the water. It was because of Eunuch Liu who took over the work, so the few people hurried downstairs.

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Is there no eternal system?"

Song Jiu slowly relaxed from the beginning. This was the emperor. Although he had the knowledge of leading for a thousand years, his mind was definitely better than himself. He thought about it first, and then answered, saying: "There is an eternal system, but there is no eternal level. What is a level, measurement, and scale. A country is strong, internal governance is the key, and civil governance is the key, and military preparation cannot be neglected. Civilization requires emphasis on civility, and military preparation is the key. This is the level. In the early Tang Dynasty, there are few people and the land is empty. He can partially implement the equal-field system and the government military system. Later, nine million households have all destroyed the equal-field system and the government military system. Times are different, and the degree is different."

“Easy to say.”

"Your Majesty, it is easier said than done, so if you are cooking small things, you must be cautious."

"What is system and what is degree?"

"Your Majesty, I am a sage."

"No need to sigh at the people anymore. I will give you a Sullin Lang now."

Rulin Lang was a 9th-rank literary official, also known as Jilu official. From then on, Song Jiu could get some salary from the court. However, the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was still rewarded and rewarded. Not only were there literary official officials, but also officials. With singular officials and officials, they still had no rights. They had to be appointed to decide the matter. If you want to have a servant, you must have a servant. Therefore, officials are much more important than literary official. It is not bad, at least from now on, they are not a commoner. Song Jiu said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to thank you, continue."

"I just want to say one thing: Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. As a commoner, he must also be patriotic and care about the country's national affairs."

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. It is well said, but this sentence must not be circulated."

"Your Majesty... I understand." Song Jiu couldn't help but laugh. There were still many places in the Song Dynasty that had not been collected. The Fujian countries of Later Shu, Southern Tang, Southern Han, Northern Han, Wu Yue and Chen Hongjin were reluctant to surrender to the court. Strictly speaking, Jiaozhi belonging to China, I don't know if this Taizu was interested in the future. Dali, Western Qiang, Tubo, if the people of every country had a country's rise and fall, every man was responsible for it, Zhao Kuangyin would be very sad.

“Besides.”

"The people must also be patriotic so that the country can have cohesion. However, if they are not in their position and do not plan their own affairs, the people's strength will eventually be weak. The real decision-maker is Your Majesty, the prime minister, and the important minister. The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. Since ancient times, it has been the most difficult for the emperor to do this."

"Bold!" Eunuch Liu used a whisk to slash Song Jiu's head.
