I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 408 On the night of the Lantern Festival, we cooked wine and discussed the platform.

The fourteenth day of the first lunar month, afternoon.

Sunny weather.

In Bianjing City, there are towering mountain sheds and countless tourists.

The main streets are busy with traffic, which seems to be even more noisy than the first day of the year.

Lantern Festival.

It is now the undisputed first year of the Song Dynasty.

The programs prepared by many merchants in Bianjing City begin to warm up on the 13th day of the first lunar month, and some Goulanwashe celebrations can even last until the end of the month.

This day.

Even the candidates who are preparing for the provincial examination have made an appointment to go out and prepare to indulge in these two days.

This topic is very fascinating.

In Bianjing City.

Sangjiawazi is very down-to-earth, and became famous for her charming female sumo wrestlers in her early years.

As soon as this news came out, there were many people who wanted to enter Xiwazi in the state.

Thirty literati were invited.

Zhou Xiwazi made a high-profile announcement that he would invite thirty talented and famous scholars to cook wine and discuss advice on the night of Shangyuan Festival.

in previous years.

What is discussed is the scholar-bureaucrats who served as admonishers in Taiwan during the current dynasty.

Just the day before yesterday.

The remaining 400 or so audience seats are also by invitation only, and it is difficult to enter unless you have status, outstanding talents, or connections.

Cook wine.

The most popular tiles in Bianjing City have always been the Sangjia tiles.

It has gradually become a good place for many literati to gather and have fun.

But as a large number of wealthy businessmen poured into Sangjia Wazi, some arty literati and scholars changed their places.

[On the night of the Lantern Festival, we cook wine and discuss the platform]

The more threshold things are, the more curious people are and the more they want to get involved.

But this year, Zhouxi Wazi, located in the west of the city and north of Jinliang Bridge, has become the new favorite in Bianjing.

Xiwazi, Zhouzhou, has a plain atmosphere and a strong aroma of books.

Admonishment on the platform.

Food and drink are free and generous gifts are given.

What is being cooked is the most famous lamb wine in Bianjing City.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, almost all literati who want to enter the official career have most wanted to be an admonishment official and a pavilion official.

The position of Taijian is low and powerful, and it is easy to be promoted without exception; the pavilion and pavilion are leisurely and comfortable, and there is a high salary.

but.

Both positions have extremely high barriers to entry.

Taijian needs to be a Jinshi, have been a local official, must not have any relatives or friends with the current governor, and must have a flawless moral character.

As for the government officials.

It is necessary to pass the Jinshi examination and then take a special examination to be qualified for the position.

And now.

The most topical person in the Song Dynasty was obviously the Taijianguan.

The propositions of the "Four Admonitions" during the Qingli New Deal, the story of Tang Jie blocking the chariot, Bao Zheng's beautiful words of admonishment, Ouyang Xiu's feat of writing curses, the legend of beheading the imperial censor Su Jingming...

The stories of these Taiwanese admonishers are widely spread among the people.

During the Lantern Festival, scholars and literati will naturally like to talk about the most popular admonishment officials in the Song Dynasty with the best lamb wine.

For a while.

Many people rely on connections to find ways to enter Xiwazi, the prefecture.

Someone else booked all the private rooms in the tea shop and restaurant next to Zhou Xiwazi.

There are also some tabloid writers.

Pens, ink, paper and inkstones have been prepared near Xiwazi, and as soon as the news comes out, they will write relevant news immediately.

Most of Bianjing City is discussing this matter.

Under the current scope of public opinion, it is not considered arrogant for people to discuss this matter.

As long as there are no personal attacks, the court encourages people to discuss political affairs. After all, what is being implemented is a national reform that requires the participation of every citizen. After the Taiwanese admonishers heard about this, they didn't care. They had never done anything wrong and were not afraid that the people would scold them.

……

January 15th.

It was just dusk and the north of Jinliang Bridge was already in a state of congestion.

Xiwazi in the prefecture is full of guests.

There were so many people that there was no room to stand.

Thirty literati who were invited to "cook wine and discuss the platform to give advice" gathered around a wooden platform and sat on chairs with small tables in front of them.

As for the others, they were either sitting on small benches or standing at the back.

But everyone looked excited and didn't feel aggrieved at all.

On the wooden platform in the middle.

There is a long wooden sign that reads: Cooking wine and discussing the platform for advice.

Between the two pillars behind the wooden platform, there is a hemp rope with many small wooden signs hanging on it.

The wooden sign is engraved with the names of many officials who have served as Taiwan admonishers.

Such as: Yu Jing, Cai Xiang, Wang Su, Bao Zheng, Tang Jie, Ouyang Xiu, He Tan, Zhou Yuan, Zhao Pian, Su Liang, Fan Zhen, Han Jiang, Lu Hui, etc.

They are all officials who have made outstanding contributions in advising positions in Taiwan.

at this time.

A beautiful woman wearing a lavender floral dress moved lightly and came to the wooden platform in front.

She is the shopkeeper of Zhou Xiwazi, Lu Sanniang.

As for who is behind Zhou Xiwazi, few people know.

Lu Sanniang looked around, smiled, bent down and saluted, and then said: "Everyone, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic!"

"Our store originally planned to accommodate 500 customers, but now it has exceeded 800. There are still a large number of customers standing at the door. It is Sanniang's fault that everyone has such a bad experience. Sanniang decided that anyone who enters our prefecture today will Xiwazi’s first pot of lamb wine will be served by Sanniang!”

After saying that, Lu Sanniang waved her hand.

Then a waiter came over carrying jugs of lamb wine and began to distribute them.

"Sanniang is so heroic!" someone shouted.

"Sanniang, within half a year Zhou Xiwazi will definitely be able to defeat Sangjia Wazi!"

……

"Sanniang, good wine, really good wine!" A customer who had already tasted the lamb wine shouted loudly.

Lamb wine.

The appearance is amber, clear and transparent. It is often expensive but not available in the market. If you can drink two taels, it is not in vain.

After a while.

When Lu Sanniang saw that the lamb wine was distributed, she immediately took out a jug of wine (two or two jugs) and said with a smile: "Everyone, Sanniang will punish herself with a jug first. If you feel comfortable drinking, you are welcome to come often."

Immediately, everyone began to taste the lamb wine.

If you are in Sangjia Wazi.

If there is a female shopkeeper drinking in the middle of the crowd, the customers will definitely speak in a pornographic manner.

Yellow accent.

It has always been a part of Wazi.

But in Xiwazi, no one dared to say a dirty word.

Because around the end of the year, people who have used pornographic accents come to apologize in person, and their attitude is particularly sincere.

Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that Zhou Xiwazi's backing was unusual, so they no longer dared to break Zhou Xiwazi's rules. As time went by, no one dared to be arrogant anymore.

Lean slightly.

Lu Sanniang continued: "Everyone, the topic of today's discussion is to make wine, discuss the platform and give advice!"

"We will divide the discussion into two parts. The first is to explore the function of admonishment in the current dynasty; the second is to discuss the best admonishment officer in the dynasty. I hope you can speak freely and discuss things as they are. If there are personal attacks or malicious slander, our store will Deport him immediately..."

The scholars and scholars around the wooden platform were very well prepared.

Just waiting for the words to shock everyone.

And this moment.

In a remote corner at the back, Zhang Mao, dressed in gray shirt, looked at the wooden platform with a smile on his face.

Who would have thought.

The master behind Xiwazi in this state is the current official family.
