Best Evil Emperor

Chapter 388 (1)
(The number of words in the last chapter exceeds the limit, here is the unfinished part of the previous chapter) If I get a major crime of contempt for the court, I will be depressed. If Brother Dahuang adds fuel to the fire, my troubles will not be as simple as being sent to the southern country Now, and these two uncles should be working under Brother Dahuang, I have to be careful, if it doesn't work, I will deal with it first and then join the army.

The next day, I got up in the morning, saw my grandfather, told some elders, ate something casually, took the Demon Emperor and went out. My grandfather was not terminally ill, which made me feel a lot easier, so I am still in the mood to go shopping. Although I have never met him, he looks and feels like my grandfather in the previous life, so I have some warmth for him in my heart.

This time I can take a good stroll around Suzhou. The Xuanmiao Temple is not far from home. After walking a few steps, I saw the big Zhengshan Gate in front of the temple. After passing through, there is a huge square with ancient trees, pavilions, The ponds are patchwork, and the incense burner in front of the main hall is full of smoke, which is a solemn and solemn scene. It is still early in the morning, and the people who come to offer incense are already crowded in front of the main hall. It seems that the Sanqing enshrined here is quite effective, attracting so many It seems that I saw someone writing with a pen there, probably selling calligraphy and painting.

I saw a large plaque hanging on the main hall from a distance, with the inscription "Xuan Tong Miao", but the third word was missing, only some gold paint remained on it, I felt a little strange, and wanted to find out what the allusion was , when I got closer, I found a notice posted on the wall, which probably said that due to the long history, the third gold letter "one" on the plaque in the main hall gradually peeled off, and now I can't see it clearly. I would like to invite a writer from Suzhou. It is a matter of great merit that talented people come to fill in this word.

It turned out that so many people came to see the inscriptions. I came just in time to see the calligraphy of Suzhou literati. In fact, it is not only me, but I can feel the excitement on the face of the demon emperor beside me, because it is also the first time for him Come here.

Because there were so many people, the Yaohuang and I squeezed into the crowd for a long time. There were already a lot of written rice papers piled up on the ground. The young man who wrote the vigorous and forceful "one" is still shaking his head secretly.

I only heard two old men talking next to me: "Ge two days ago, all the well-known people in Suzhou came to try it, and the Taoist priest didn't like any of them. If you say help (and) the original Ge characters don't match at all."

"Well, the character Zhang Xianggong, the handwriting is extremely good, and it doesn't look very good at present."

I asked the two old people strangely: "Two old people, may I ask why you just fill in this one character? How about inviting calligraphers to rewrite the four characters and inscribe another plaque, wouldn't it be easy?"

When the two old men heard this, they hurriedly said: "Mr. Gewei, you must have come to Gewei from other places. Don't know, the plaque of Gewei has a background. It was written by No. 18 Zhang Tianshi when he came to Gechenguang in Suzhou. Don’t change your style.”

"Oh, that's it." I nodded my head, expressing my understanding.

There was a person writing on the field, and after looking at the writing for a long time, he probably didn't think it looked like it, so he sighed, bowed his hands to the old Taoist priest, and walked into the crowd, and no one went up to write for a while.

I was thinking that the Taoist calligraphy might be wiped out, and suddenly another person squeezed in from the outer circle, whispering in his mouth: "Can I try it?" I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a plain-looking man Old man, I lost my appetite a lot.

Everyone burst into laughter, and someone laughed and scolded: "Aren't you an old man who sells incense candles, you can also write? Why are you making a fuss (what are you doing)?"

Unconvinced, old man Wang said: "I don't know all other characters, I only know one word."

The old Taoist priest also recognized this old man who had been selling joss sticks in front of the temple on weekdays, and knew that he could not read at all. Just try it.

I saw that old man Wang pushed away the large brush that was handed over to him, but took off his half-rotten straw sandal from his foot, dipped it in the ink tank, and painted it on the paper in front of him without hesitation. Going up, from left to right in one go, after finishing writing, I looked at the ink-stained straw sandals in my hand with regret, wondering if I should put them back on my feet.

Although I don't know what the original "one" is, but judging from the surprised look of the old Taoist, the old man Wang's writing must not be much different.But judging by his appearance, he doesn't look like a calligrapher at all.Some people in the crowd also exclaimed, and a group of literati stared wide-eyed, obviously also thinking about the origin of this old man.

Old man Wang is a real person, so he said it himself: "I don't know how to write. Here, I squat at the door every day. When I have nothing to do, I just look at the grid on my head. I only know how to write a stroke, so I take it." A pair of shoes, dipped in some water and painted white on the ground (playing). I have been painting for decades, and I think it looks pretty cool. I didn’t think it would come in handy today. Daoist, my pair of shoes are not easy to wear. You want to give me another pair." Everyone was amazed, but after hearing his last sentence, they couldn't help laughing again.

I watched the old man happily accepting a large ingot of silver from the old Taoist leader with a happy smile, and thought to myself that I really did a lot of strange things in the Hua Ming Dynasty, and this is clearly another talent.

After the old man finished writing, before the crowd dispersed completely, I heard someone preaching: "Jia'er, do you feel something about the old man's writing just now?" who.

"This uncle obviously doesn't know how to brush and ink, but the strokes of the straw sandals are like a god. Everyone is ashamed of themselves. I think it's because they have practiced thousands of times. Jia'er thinks that reading should be the same. There is an old saying, reading Thousands of times, the meaning is self-evident, and it should be the reason." The voice now speaks in an immature voice.

Out of curiosity, I heard the reputation and saw two people, one big and one young, in long gowns, and I knew they were scholars at a glance, maybe the elders took the younger ones out for a trip.

The older man was about forty years old, he had some admiration in his eyes, but he still said: "What Jiaer said is not unreasonable, but you should see that although this old man is proficient in this word, he only knows the other words." However, he doesn’t know why, if he changed another word today, he would be helpless.” This is a philosophical statement, but it’s also a waste of words, the old man has practiced that word, and naturally he can’t write it well if he changes the word, this blind man Can be seen.

The middle-aged man paused, and then continued: "Talents are divided into two types. One type is like an old man, and they are called specialists. They spend their entire lives focusing on skills. The other type is the opposite. They know everything, and they can be called generalists." , Specialists should seek for refinement and not much in reading, and they must seek a deep understanding. Generalists should read a lot of books and observe their outlines. If Jiaer wants to be an official, he should be a generalist and self-discipline himself. You can't just let someone be in a high position by accident. I often say that there is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in art. Only talents are employed, and the world will be governed." This person's words are very profound, and I can't help but read more With his eyes, he also thought in his heart that I belong to the second type of generalist.

The boy was about the same age as me, about twelve or three years old, I don't know if he understood, but he still replied: "Thank you uncle for your guidance, Jia'er remembered it."

When I heard this remark, I knew that these two people should be extraordinary people. I remembered that I was looking for talents. Although I have many subordinates and all of them are elites, the more talents the better, so I read this immediately. He stepped forward to talk to him and said: "This gentleman is very polite. I have benefited a lot from listening to him just now. I wonder if I can invite the two of you to a restaurant to gather together, so that I can ask you for advice?" The most useful thing is not money but polite words.

"This young man is so forthright, he's really a man of temperament. If Qian refuses, it would seem petty." This man named Qian was more forthright than me, and he agreed immediately.

We casually found a high-end restaurant and had a meal, a lunch, and the host and guests had a good time. During the dinner, the Qian family even quoted quotes and witty remarks, and I praised them from the bottom of my heart. During the conversation, I also understood outline of their situation.

Qian Jia's uncle is called Qian Jia, who is from Nanyang, Henan. He was originally a scholar, but later his family fell into poverty. Xiao Qian Jia helped others to do odd jobs when he was young, but he never slacked off. He still worked hard to study and practice writing. Studying, got sponsorship from teachers, was well-known in the examination list, but failed in the provincial examinations, discouraged, so he stopped taking the imperial examinations, returned home and saw that Qian Jia was very talented at a young age, so he took him out Traveling, while teaching him what he has learned in his head, and at the same time making him see all over the world, the speech just now is to teach Qian Jia how to deal with exam strategies, which is entirely my guess.

Now, I know a little bit about the tribute system of the Huaming Dynasty. Although I haven’t come into contact with it often, I know that this tribute system was inherited from the previous dynasty and has developed. There are five subjects in the examination, namely: Jinshi, Mingjing , Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingsu.The first two are to select officials, and the last three are to select special talents. The examination is held once a year, regardless of family background, as long as they meet the conditions of good conduct and clean identity.

The examination is divided into two levels, the provincial examination, and the examination is held in each state. Those who pass the provincial examination go to the capital's Shangshu Province to take the provincial examination. Those who pass the test are recommended by hundreds of officials, or they recommend themselves to the examiner to obtain an official position. The content of the two-level examination is similar, and Jinshi The test is about current affairs policy, which is to discuss things according to the facts. Mingjing is divided into five classics, three classics, two classics, scholarly one classics, three rites, three biography, history, etc., which is to examine the knowledge on the subset of classics and history.

Those who pass the examination, even if they can't become officials, will inevitably be recruited by the emperor brothers who are already in power, and they will definitely hold important positions in the local area.

The money reduction in front of me, I don’t know why the provincial test has repeatedly hit the wall. According to the conversation just now, I think he should be on the list according to his level. I don’t know if he is too bold and casual. Now that I have met you, you must not let go of the money, because I like talents, and I will not be stingy with those who are worthy of support.

So when I read this, I couldn't help asking: "I wonder if Big Brother Qian and Little Brother Qian are interested in official careers?"

"I failed to take part in the tribute examination many times. I only lamented that there are many capable people in the world. I dare not have the unreasonable thought of becoming an official. My nephew is smart and hardworking. His future achievements will be higher than mine. I will lead him this time. Traveling around the world and gaining knowledge and knowledge, I just hope that he can seek fame and fame in the future and honor his ancestors." It seems that this Qianjia put all his hopes on Qianjia.
