Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 78

During the Qingming Festival, it rained heavily, and pedestrians on the road wanted to die.Where is the restaurant?The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

In March, after the Qingming Festival, the rain is getting more and more abundant. From time to time, a cloud floats over Runzhou City.

After Han Yunpeng was full, he pulled Su Chen and held an oil-paper umbrella, walked out of the alley with white walls and gray tiles, and came to the magnificent Han Mansion.

Since he had made an appointment to come to the house for a follow-up visit today, Su Chen was not easy to miss the appointment, and was led by Han Yunpeng to Han Xizai's room.

Han Xizai was leaning against the bed, holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand, but he did not read the book, but stared at the beam, thinking about the situation in the northwest, and was very worried.

He thought of his own journey to the south, full of ambitions to reach the clouds at the beginning, but now he has spent most of his life. After the sixtieth year, he was dismissed from office and suspended at home. He saw that the Song Dynasty in the north was strong and the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River was declining day by day. He couldn't help sighing and deploring. .

This Han Xizai was born in a wealthy official family. His great-grandfather, Han Jun, served as Taichang Qing of Tang; his grandfather, Han Yin, served as the imperial censor; his father, Han Guangsi, served as secretary young supervisor, Ziqing observation envoy, and Pinglu Jiedu deputy envoy. Lord Lie.

Therefore, Han Xizai set up his ambition to become a prime minister after being influenced by the culture of his grandparents' family when he was young. He studied hard since he was a child, and then lived in seclusion in Songshan to study. When he was about 20 years old, he traveled to Luoyang to study. Jinshi, can be described as a wunderkind.

But later his father Han Guangsi, because he was the assistant officer of the prince of Pinglu Jiedu, the latter refused to accept the appointment of the prefect of Dengzhou under Li Siyuan of the later Tang Mingzong, and was attacked by the general Huo Yanwei, and finally the prince. Yan, Han Guangsi and others were all beheaded, and their family was broken. Han Xizai was forced to flee the Central Plains and crossed Huai to Yang Wu.

Decades have passed in a flash, and Han Xizai's temples have turned white, and his ambition has been worn away, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"However, the king's affairs in the world have won the name before and after his life. It's a pity that it happened in vain!"

Han Xizai muttered to himself with a wry smile on his face. At this moment, Han Yunpeng knocked on the door and entered with Su Chen.

"I've seen Elder Han!" Su Chen held the medicine box and saluted.

Han Xizai was upset when he saw his younger son, but when he saw him bringing Su Chen into the room, he felt calmer, and forced a smile, "Young Master Su, come here."

"Give Mr. Han a follow-up consultation. If there is no serious problem, it will be fine to come every few days in the future."

Han Xizai nodded and said, "I've made you worry."

"It should be!" Su Chen put down the medicine box, walked up to the front of the collapse, and gave Han Xizai his pulse and listened to his heart rhythm.

Han Xizai had something to say to Su Chen, so he waved at his younger son rudely and asked him to go out and wait, so don't get in the way.

Han Yunpeng was shaking his head, and he withdrew after seeing the situation. Don't look at him being a little playful, but he is not stupid, and he is even a little smart, and he knows how to watch words and expressions.

After Su Chen checked his pulse, he smiled and said, "Elder Han, your body is recovering well, your heart rhythm and pulse have become normal, and your blood pressure has dropped. As long as you don't stay up late and don't drink alcohol for half a month, you'll be fine. If you have chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness, you can hold a Baoxin Dan, which can survive the disease at the time of the onset."

Han Xizai nodded, and was relieved to hear that there was no major incident.

"Master Su, what kind of books do you usually read?"

Su Chen thought about it, "The Analects", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Rites", "Shuowen", "Parallel Fu", "Han Shu"... These are usually not read.

He didn't come back to take the top-ranking exam, and he also had some prejudice against the content of the ancient imperial examinations, so he didn't have much interest. Besides, it was too late for him to learn from the beginning, so he should focus on making money. It doesn't matter if he is an official or not.

In the future, he will be able to have thousands of dollars in the family, beautiful wives and concubines, and live a harmonious and happy life together, which is what he yearns for in this life.

He doesn't have a big interest in anything like gold and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger; what is vertical and horizontal, the imperial court is treacherous, etc.

"Except for reading medical books, writing text books, and memorizing poems, I am not interested in other books." Su Chen said.

Han Xizai pondered for a moment, intending to take an examination of teaching, to find out the depth of his studies, and said, "Why don't you tell me the source of the author?"

"It's better not to..." Su Chen's expression was a little unnatural. This kind of examination and teaching was a bit difficult. Although he was in the Chinese Department during his postgraduate studies, he was a clinical medicine undergraduate student, and his major was not very good. It is possible to memorize the sentences of hundreds of scholars and the articles of the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties... Chen and concubines can't do it!

Han Xizai shook his head and said with a smile: "How elegant it is to meet friends with literature, come, listen to my sentence: Self-nature achieves things in the city, and self-study achieves the city. "Yan Zi travels in summer, and he who is sincere and self-aware..."

This sentence comes from the Tang Dynasty writer Ouyang Zhan's "Self-Ming Cheng Lun". He emphasized the importance of "sincere".After the An-Shi Rebellion, the social ideological trend in the mid-Tang Dynasty changed from emphasizing loyalty and filial piety to focusing on honesty and understanding, which opened the issue of paying attention to the nature of mind; it was regarded as a relatively important treatise on Confucianism after the mid-Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that this article is not a splendid rhetorical masterpiece, and it is not included in modern textbooks. Su Chen has never heard of it.

At this time, Su Chen looked confused, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not know the source of the article and the author.

Seeing that he didn't know, Han Xizai comforted him: "It's okay, maybe this article is a bit biased, it involves changes in Confucianism, and the content is a bit dry. The old man will say an easy-to-understand paragraph: The article is based on education, its shape is used to control chaos, and it is tied to the country. Wind. Therefore, the mind of a gentleman is the ambition, the words of a gentleman are written, and the way of a gentleman is taught. The Book of Changes says, 'Consider the humanities in order to transform the world into the world'. "

This article is "The Essay on Xu Giishi" written by Liu Mian, which is collected in "Complete Tang Wen". The combination of ideology and literary creation has been pushed forward. It is opposed to the words of couples since the Six Dynasties, and believes that the article should not be just a pile of rhetoric. Among them, Liu Mian's literary theory has the most profound analysis.

Han Xizai thought that since Su Chen was not good at parallel prose, but had a talent for poetry, he should have stood on the side of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, and was a supporter and supporter of the style of writing left over from the ancient prose movement, so he should have read this article by Liu Mian.

Su Chen also had a confused expression on his face. He could understand the general meaning of this passage. As for the title of this article, which ancient author wrote it, he had no idea at all, the exam was too unpopular!

"Have you never heard of this?" Han Xizai's expression became a little unnatural, and he forced himself to say, "It's okay, let's listen to the following..."

"Stop, stop... Han Lao Lao Han, this kid is ignorant of learning, maybe he has read it before, but his memory is not deep, and he has long forgotten it." After Su Chen made an excuse, he bite the bullet and cupped his hands: "That, I suddenly thought of it next time. , there is an urgent matter at home, please retire first!"

After Su Chen finished speaking, without waiting for him to keep him, he got up directly, grabbed the medicine box and rushed out the door.

Han Yunpeng just came to the door. Seeing Su Chen leaving in a hurry, he didn't have time to say hello. He shook his head in confusion, then stepped into the house and said, "Father, Su Chen braved the wind and rain to treat you. This kindness should not be neglected, please daddy. Give me another hundred dollars, and I will treat the little benefactor well!"

"Go away—" Han Xizai was in the mood of disappointment and annoyance, and had nowhere to vent. Han Yunpeng's appearance added fuel to the fire and hit the muzzle of the gun.

Seeing that his father, Han Xizai, was angry, Han Yunpeng picked up the pillow and smashed it over. He was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
