The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

wZhu Shiyong naturally couldn't get to the bottom of it, Zhu Tianshun has been wandering outside every day since returning home from the annual leave, the threshold of the kiln and brothel was almost broken, and the maid at home was also ruined by him a lot. .)

During the past half a year in Yingtian Academy, this kid was almost suffocated. Although Zhu Shiyong didn't take these things seriously, he would still lose his face once he said it in public, so he stopped talking and asked, "What happened, why? So many people died?"

Zhu Tianshun said: "It's not that Bao Zheng, he is now the magistrate of Yingtian, and he has nothing to do to clean up the security of Yingtian Mansion. I don't know how to find out that Tang Jie, the former magistrate of Yingtian, was killed by the steward of Prince Teng's house. , so he searched everywhere for that steward named Qin Fei; in the end, he was forced to take advantage of the dark night to gather two or three hundred people to stir up trouble, and rushed out of the south gate..."

Everyone gasped, they had heard about King Teng for a long time, so there is no need to ask about it, it must be King Teng who led the crowd to rebel, but somehow it brought disaster to the academy.

"Those poor guys actually helped the officers and soldiers to intercept them, but the scholar met the soldiers and killed himself. What a bunch of idiots." Zhu Tianshun sneered.

Zhu Shiyong said, "Where were you at that time?"

Zhu Tianshun said: "Don't worry, my son will not participate in such stupid things. My son and a few classmates hid in the school and never went out; in the final analysis, this bastard Su Jin provoked it. If it wasn't for him How could Tang Jie die when Ying Tianfu pretended to be a ghost? How could he make such a mess that even ten or twenty college students died? I don’t know what the court thinks, but they didn’t come to hold Su Jin accountable.”

Zhu Shiyong shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you just point out the important affairs of the court indiscriminately? You just say what the result is."

"I'm not too sure about the result. I only heard that the gang of rioters were arrested. Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan was also among them, and the steward Qin Fei was also arrested; I also heard that Bao Zheng led the army. Raided around Yingtian, turned several cottages into prostitutes, the court gave a title of righteous man and a little bit of compensation money, and lost his life because of this false name, it's really funny."

"Okay." Zhu Shiyong shouted, his mood was very complicated. The imperial court didn't even issue a report to the mansion for such a big incident in Yingtian Mansion. It was clear that he didn't want to spread it out. King Teng was guilty of treason, and it looked like the emperor was right. I don't want to make this family ugly.

Prince Teng has a lot of contacts with officials in Beijing, but I don't know if this incident will cause a shock to the court, but this incident happened a month ago, and no one has been implicated until now. It can be seen that the emperor's intention must be to turn the big thing into a small thing , this matter must not be spread.

"Everyone, it's fine if you've heard about this matter. Don't spread it casually, so as not to get angry. Tianshun, don't mention this matter again. If I hear you talk about this matter again, be careful."

Zhu Tianshun murmured: "You want me to say funny things again, and now you come to scold me again, it's really boring."

Zhu Shiyong reprimanded: "If you want you to say something interesting, it's really absurd to pick this one."

Seeing that Zhu Tianshun couldn't get rid of his face, everyone comforted him and said: "Young Master Ya Nei also has good intentions. Speaking of which, this matter is considered a big event. Young Master Ya Nei just said it so that everyone can gain some insight."

Vice President Huang regretted it very much. He didn't expect that one of his proposals would cause Zhu Shiyong's dissatisfaction.

"I have heard for a long time that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in Yingtian Academy, and the poems and essays are all excellent. Why don't you show me your talent and learning, and let me open my eyes?"

Vice President Huang's original intention was to make Zhu Tianshun look good, but he didn't expect that this proposal hit Zhu Tianshun's weakness, but some people who didn't know why followed him and said: "Yes, Mr. Ya Nei is in Yingtian Academy. Naturally, you have achieved something in your studies, so you might as well give it a try and let me appreciate it."

Zhu Tianshun wished he could hit Vice President Huang's chubby face with his teacup, wouldn't he make a fool of himself?How can I write any good poems, this is my life.

"No... Absolutely not. I can't play tricks here. Wouldn't it be nice to drink tea and chat? Why do you want to write some troublesome poems?" Zhu Tianshun shook his hands wildly, a rare blushing appeared on his face .

Zhu Shiyong also knows that his son is a dude, but he is confident that Zhu Tianshun can write a poem. After all, in this era where everyone can write poetry, writing poetry is as simple as eating and drinking. If you can't write a good one, you can at least write This rhyme came out, and I just took this opportunity to know what my son had learned.

"Since Uncle Huang Shi suggested it, so what if you write a poem? Is this more difficult than climbing to the sky? Don't push back and forth, write a poem quickly and let the seniors give pointers." Zhu Shiyong said.

Zhu Tianshun cursed in his heart, I don't know which bodhisattva's incense was not burned today, so it's so bad, writing a poem, I will be your mother's thigh!

Zhu Tianshun scratched his head and didn't know what to do. He held back for a long time without saying a word. Even if Zhu Shiyong was about to explode, Tang Jiyuan was very shrewd, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it must be because I don't have a proposition and I don't know what to write. So, the old man suggested to use the scene in the classroom as the topic, how about a four-character quatrain?"

Zhu Shiyong nodded and said: "Very good, let's take the situation in the hall as the topic, and let's talk about it."

Zhu Tianshun cried and wringed his stomach, and in the midst of everyone's anticipation, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Today...it's so lively."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some people covered their mouths for fun, Zhu Shiyong's face was livid, and he seemed to be having a seizure.

Wu Tongpan coughed and said, "That's right, the first sentence is neutral and unpretentious. Although it is realistic, but...but...the follow-up will definitely be broad, not bad!"

Everyone hurriedly came back to their senses and echoed: "That's right, isn't it the same when Li Du wrote poems in the previous dynasty? For example, a plain sentence like 'the moonlight in front of the bed' is the true meaning in the plain. It’s also very interesting.”

Zhu Tianshun didn't expect his plain words to get such a high evaluation, he immediately became courageous, rolled his eyes and continued to read: "It's so lively today, we have visitors at my house..."

Everyone's eyeballs were jumping all over the floor, and each of them looked at Zhu Tianshun with their mouths wide open as if they were about to swallow their last breath.

I just heard Zhu Tianshun continue to read: "There are people outside the house, and there are many people in the house."

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and waited for everyone's response; Zhu Shiyong was ashamed to death, his eyes almost burst into flames, today this old face was completely thrown away by this prodigal son; I hate him for not being ashamed yet, full of pride se, it's... really shameless.

There was no sound in the hall, everyone opened their mouths to petrification, in a state of semi-dementia, finally someone reacted, stretched out their hands and clapped their hands.

Zhu Shiyong glared angrily, and found that the one who was applauding was Shi Zhenxiang. It seemed that this Shi Yashi was humiliating himself, and he was thinking about how to deal with him later.

But I heard Shi Yasi sincerely praised: "Good poems, good poems, exquisite rhymes, plain words, and a few words can cover today's situation, especially the last two sentences. Compared with the inside and outside of the house, the audience is full of guests." It’s still in front of my eyes, it’s really a good poem; as expected of a student from Yingtian Academy, I admire it.”

Everyone came back to their senses, and there was a burst of applause from Tianjie. Some people were greatly admiring, pulling the poems to the ancient allusions, and some even asked Zhu Tianshun to record the poems and frame them for collection. As if falling into the fog, thinking that he had really written a peerless poem, he actually asked shamelessly: "Is this poem really so good? Can it be sung with a tune?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Too capable!"

Everyone agreed that someone would recommend this poem to Feng Feifei, a famous singer in Luzhou, and bet that it would be sung throughout the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Shiyong couldn't bear it anymore, it's nothing more than embarrassment in Luzhou, if it is really composed by these good people, after singing it, it would be embarrassing to the whole Song Dynasty.

"Tianshun, you step back; from now on, you are not allowed to step out of the study." Zhu Shiyong gritted his teeth.

"Why? Don't they all say that my poems are exquisite?"

"Shut up! Go back." Zhu Shiyong shouted angrily.

Zhu Tianshun trembled, dared not speak any more, quickly slipped out of the back door and escaped without a trace; Zhu Shiyong was panting angrily, and everyone was silent as well, this time the flattery was too much, the magistrate was obviously not happy, He must have taken flattery as irony.

Vice President Huang was depressed again. He wanted Zhu Tianshun to show his face and flatter the magistrate, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect. Is the work this yamen made called poetry?Although I am not a scholar, I also know that it is not a poem, and everyone is still bragging and clapping, no wonder the magistrate can't hold back the face; Tang Jiyuan and Vice President Liu cast a reproachful look, Vice President Huang hurriedly passed the Mouth gagged, dare not say a word.

In the awkward silence, there were footsteps outside the house, and a servant came forward quickly. Seeing Zhu Shiyong's angry face, he was a little at a loss, thought for a while, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Shiyong shouted: "What are you doing sneakily?"

The servant bit the bullet and bowed over, and whispered a few words in Zhu Shiyong's ear.

Zhu Shiyong was taken aback and said, "What is he doing here? I have so many distinguished guests here, but I don't have time to see him." m
