Chapter 34: Periodicals
After chatting with Li Zhang for a while, seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Ping stood up and sighed: "Today is a day of great joy, but it is also a day of tossing. You go out and have two more drinks with the elders, and I have to go to the assembly of the same year. Scholars have a heavy face, and this matter must not be sloppy. ”
There are three major events after the palace examination, the new science and technology jinshi period that starts today, the Qionglin banquet about a month later, and then the awarding of officials. The period is an occasion for the new science and technology to contact feelings, everyone comes from all over the world, and it is fate to be on the same list.
came out to say goodbye to the elders, Lin Wensi glanced at Xu Ping, hesitated, and finally didn't say anything.
Xu Ping knew what Lin Wensi meant, it was already dark at this time, and he blamed him for going out too late. But today, Xu Ping Jinshi and the first, Lin Wensi can no longer talk about him like before.
According to the convention, the champion Wang Yaochen turned from the imperial road in the east of the imperial city to the royal street, all the way to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the street tour ended. The new Kojinshi who had drunk two cups elsewhere should greet the champion at Sangkokuji Temple, begin their period of the same year, elect various ministers, and begin the first feast.
Xu Ping's trip home took too long, and he must have missed the most lively time at the beginning of the episode, and it was also the time to leave a first impression on everyone, which would have a bad impact on future interactions.
Lin Wensi didn't know that Xu Ping was doing this deliberately, just to dilute the relationship with this gang of the same year.
With the memory of his previous life, Xu Ping was extremely impressed by the partisan dispute between the Northern Song Dynasty scholars, even a thousand years later, this is also a hot topic, how can he not know how to protect himself in it? The punk party is a big whirlpool, and the tide may rise at the head of the tide at once, and fall to the bottom when it recedes, completely involuntarily.
The Northern Song Dynasty controversy between the friends and the party began in the same year of the imperial examination. During the time of Taizu, there were very few Jinshi, and he couldn't become a climate, and he didn't guard against Kobe friends. In the Taizong Dynasty, the number of admissions increased suddenly, and Taizong deliberately supported the new Jinshi to suppress the powerful and old ministers, and in the same year, the Jinshi invoked each other, and finally set off a monstrous wave.
From the first appearance of the party in the second year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the People's Republic of China, to the blatant formation of the party in the third year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the country, the idiom of three watches in the middle of the night appeared, which set off countless turmoil. and then to the Taiping Rejuvenation of the country for five years, the quasi-dragon and tiger list is full of talents, and the three lists of jinshi are fighting for me, and they have been fighting until the later years of Zhenzong. After they formed a party, they controlled the government, and even participated in the succession of the new emperor, so that the future emperors were deeply warned, even if they didn't say it, the appointment of the same list of jinshi would be deliberately separated. In the same year, there were Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng and other big figures, Xu Ping would not get too close to them for his own future, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
After being crowned on the first list, the attributes of the same year of the punk party were diluted, and they began to change to people with the same political views, but the influence of the same list of Jinshi still cannot be ignored. Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, most of the people who united around him were Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng and the eighth year of Tiansheng, not to mention that Yingzong came to power after Renzong, and the shadow of Han Qi and Wen Yanbo forming a party in the same year is still faintly visible.
Xu Ping just wants to be rich and prosperous in this peaceful era, so naturally the farther away from these things, the better, and he doesn't want to join any party to stir up the wind and rain.
Hu Danzhi, who is talented and talented, has been obsessed with forming a party and drilling camps all his life, and as a result, he is the champion, and the biggest official is just a knowledgeable system, and he has been dismissed from office many times. Although he still tirelessly thought of various ways to return to the capital, it was a pity that even the Empress Dowager Liu at this time did not know what he had done in his life, so he could only reach out to the imperial court again and again to ask for money in the name of writing books, and use one tome after another to change his son's humble background, which is sad and lamentable. Xu Ping saw it in his eyes, how could he not take it as a warning?
As an undergraduate tanhualang, Xu Ping will not forget the lives of the two most famous tanhualangs. Tanhualang, who has been rejuvenating the country for five years, is the crown, talented, and courageous, but he is also stubborn and self-serving, and does not shy away from it, and has monopoly power. He was deeply trusted by the emperors of Taizong and Zhenzong, but in the end he died of old age in Lingnan. The Tanhualang who has been rejuvenating the country for three years in Taiping is Feng Zheng, and Guanzhun has despised him all his life, has no ability, no assertiveness, and sways from side to side, but he is also left and right. As a result, Feng Zheng finally entered the phase and became rich for life. Zhang Zhibai became the second minister precisely because of Feng Zheng's death and the vacancy of the prime minister.
These examples are in front of Xu Ping, and he doesn't have to think about it at all, thinking about himself and his family, he would rather be Feng Zheng than be the crown.
When I arrived at the gate of Daxingguo Temple, the sky was already slightly dark, and the spring breeze blew on the face to make people intoxicated.
Xu Ping turned over and dismounted, asked the pedestrians on the road, and walked towards the courtyard where there was no gathering in Xinke.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the eyes of all the Jinshi who were cheering and drinking were focused on Xu Ping.
Xu Ping was thinking about what excuse to use, when Cheng Jun, who was close to the outside, stood up and shouted loudly: "Why has Yunxing been gone for so long?" Didn't you stay with your father and mother and not let it out? ”
Xu Ping borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and hurriedly apologized to everyone, only saying that his parents would not let go, so he delayed the time.
Han Qi showed a smile on his face and said to Xu Ping: "As an undergraduate Tanhua, you escaped well, and many errands fell on me. Let's get three glasses of wine! ”
Han Qi is twenty years old this year, the youngest outside of Xu Ping, and he is the eye of the current department, and he is really wronged by doing the flower exploration ministry.
Xu Xian saluted and said with a smile: "What Brother Zhigui said is that he will admit punishment under the order!" ”
After three glasses of wine, Xu Ping asked for a new champion.
Wang Yaochen stopped him and shook his head again and again: "Don't break the rules, Yun Xing worships Brother Wang first." ”
An old man with white hair beside him stood up and stumbled and said that he didn't dare to do it.
This is the oldest one among the jinshi this year, named Wang Hao, a native of Lanyuan, Hebei Province, who is already 70 years old, trembling and trembling, and is about to be blown to the ground when the wind is stronger. It is said that he was originally a Taoist priest, and according to the rules, he could not participate in the imperial examination, because the place where he was born was good, and he was specially given a chance.
It is a common rule to worship the elders first, and when the ceremony begins, everyone worships each other, and the champion worships the elder on behalf of everyone, and Tanhua represents everyone worships the champion. Xu Ping came late, so he had to salute one by one.
The host of the episode is generally the top three of Jinshi, this year's situation is special, it was Xu Ping who took the third place in Zhao Yi's position, but it came late, and it was still hosted by Wang Yaochen, Han Qi and Zhao Yi, and Xu Ping was his Tanhualang. In addition, Xu Ping was also assigned the ministry in charge of the title of Xiaolu and the palm of the wine fruit, one is to value his current status, and the other is that everyone has heard that Xu Ping's family is rich. Brother's money is everyone's money, and there are many poor talents among hundreds of people, so it is inevitable that they will eat big households.
There are many rules for scholars, and the banquet for hundreds of people is also in order, Bao Zheng is in charge of the bullet, Wen Yanbo is in charge of the ceremony, and everyone else is in charge. Of the 377 Jinshi periods, there were more than 60 of them who were arranged to serve in the army, which really deserved to be the reserve of the Great Song Dynasty bureaucrats, and they were all self-taught in official affairs.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually let go, and they all found someone they knew to drink two glasses. Wen Yanbo is naturally still mixed with Bao Zheng, Han Qi's brothers are on the same list, so they are naturally with his fifth brother Han Xuan, and Xu Ping is only familiar with Cheng Jun's face, and he also came to the table.
After drinking two cups with Cheng Jun, a new science and technology scholar about thirty years old, with a white face and a calm complexion, came to Xu Ping and arched his hand: "In Xia Ji Ying, the word is honest, a native of Songcheng, and I have seen Tanhualang." ”
Xu Ping hurriedly got up and saluted back.
Cheng Jun saw Xu Ping standing there and didn't know what to say, so he got up and whispered in his ear: "Ji Gongshi is an undergraduate planner, did Yunxing come out with money?" ”
Xu Ping understood at this time, and hurriedly said: "Bring it, bring it!" Brother Gongshi, I don't know how much I should pay? Don't hide it, the younger brother's family is quite good, just tell the truth. ”
Ji Ying's face was embarrassed, and after a while, he said: "Shengshangte ascends to the clouds, and he can't hide it, everyone regards you as the third person in the undergraduate." However, Zhao Shuping (Zhao Shuping) has been the host, but I am still assigned as a third person according to you, which is a little difficult. ”
Xu Ping hurriedly said: "It's okay, a little money is nothing!" ”
At present, the imperial court does not give money, and it all depends on the apportionment of the new science and technology scholars. Ji Ying and Wang Yaochen are fellow countrymen, and they know that he is loyal and good at managing money, so they were promoted to be the treasurer named Zhangjiao. Ji Ying's budget for the period is 1,500 yuan, which is apportioned according to the ranking, the higher ranking is more shared, and the lower ranking is less, and Xu Ping's third person is one of the heaviest people, and he has to pay 15 yuan.
After collecting the money, Ji Ying specially explained to Xu Ping: "This is only the money for the period, and the printing of "Xiaolu of the Same Year" will be counted separately. Yun Xing is in charge of this matter, and after calculating how little money it will cost, tell me that I will levy it again. ”
Xu Ping nodded in agreement. The compilation of "Xiaolu of the Same Year" is also a big project, and the time is tight, so it is necessary to find a bookstore to print it. However, Xu Ping has already decided that he made a set of lead words alloy lead words a few years ago, which is just used on this.
Cheng Jun next to him watched Xu Ping take out the silver and come out, and there was some envy in his eyes. The cost sharing is based on the ranking of the imperial examination, and he is ranked low, and he has no way to come up with money, so he is very depressed with a lot of silver. Jinshi period set is like this, the rich do not have a good ranking, they can't make a difference, the high ranking is not necessarily rich, and the poor have to borrow everywhere. Xu Ping, who has a good reputation and money, is a minority after all.
When the wine was almost drunk, the scholars began to sing songs.
The people gathered here are all momentary talents, and not chanting two poems on this occasion is simply an insult to the name of Jinshi, and the collection is embarrassed to print.
Xu Ping just pretended to be stupid, doing the errand of the director of his "Xiaolu of the Same Year", writing down the poems one by one, and printing them on the Xiaolu in the future, but he didn't make a fool of himself.
Poetry poetry, this kind of field cooperation is not for poetry recitation, but for singing. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, Xu Ping could also make two poems, and just sing them without a tune. Once you want to sing, you have to tone the rhythm, and Xu Ping has to show the stuffing when you get up. In the past few years, Xu Ping has learned to make poetry, but he still doesn't know anything about music and rhythm, and only understands the two tones of "Yangguan" and "Willow Branch", which are used to see him off. Seeing off Shi Yannian can still be a moment, and the wine banquet and singing will be black.
There is a musician from Jianzhou, Ruan Yi, who was elected to play music, and he really can't go up to show ugliness without two brushes.
Continuing the Tang style, many poems of the Song people can still be sung, the so-called singing poems in tune, and different tunes are used for different occasions. It looks like the same poem, but different tones will represent different meanings, sometimes you have to add imaginary words and harmonies, sometimes you have to sing them on top of each other, and people who don't understand it will only make jokes. Knowing the customs at this time, Xu Ping has long lost interest in copying the poems of later generations, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and forcing them to make it up will only make people laugh.
Common songs, "Yang Willow Branch" and "Weicheng Song" are used to say goodbye, "Little Qin Wang" and "Breaking Array Music" are triumphant songs, "Bamboo Branches" and "Lotus Seed Picking" are used for singing and dancing, "Buxu Ci" and "Shangqing Le" are Taoist music, "Liangzhou", "Ball Throwing Music" and "Santai" are used for wine banquets, "Rui Partridge" is a birthday celebration, and "Mulan Ling" is an elegy.
Remove the tune, these are all rhythmic quatrains, and later generations only look at them as poems, but they are actually original lyrics, and they are used for specific occasions. If you don't understand this, you stupidly go up and chant a famous poem that will be handed down to future generations, and you will definitely be laughed at by people, a typical ignorance of learning.
Xu Ping's belly full of famous poems in later generations can only be used in letters, so as to show that he has a full stomach of poems and books, but he can't cope with the urgency of the party.
