Chapter 67: State scholars should be the first to experience the suffering of the people
Miss Wenji opened the door to the pavilion.
This means opening the door to meet guests.
However, although the door of the pavilion is open, not everyone can see Miss Wenji. They must be given a name tag or a gift, and they have to be chosen to have a chance.
This is the oiran's card.
Above the pavilion, a young man with a face as white as jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a silver crown and holding a paper fan slowly walked out of a pavilion.
Behind him were two followers, a fair-faced book boy and a swordsman holding a long sword.
The young man looked towards the door.
At a glance, he saw the handsome Jiang Yu'er in the crowd. Although he was only wearing a rough Confucian shirt, his face was like a crown jewel and his eyes were like stars.
"As soon as Young Master Jiang arrived, Miss Wen Ji opened the door to the pavilion, and today she has benefited from him." The young man smiled lightly.
"Yesterday, Ying Wunan became a bachelor and called him the only confidant in his life. This matter has been spread in Lingyang, and it is estimated that it will spread to the capital in the near future. This Jiang Yu'er's poetic talent is indeed outstanding." The book boy bent down.
said.
"Well, that song "Feng Qiu Huang" is really a masterpiece of the ages, and that song "Nothing Difficult" is equally rare. Don't worry about the road ahead without friends. Who in the world doesn't know you? Cai!"
"Master, do you want to see him?" the book boy asked again.
The young man nodded: "Since Miss Wenji has opened the door of the pavilion, she naturally wants to see him, but I don't know about his national policy. Do you have any advice?"
"Master, do you want to give him a try?"
"Don't be in a hurry, just go with it."
…
Attic door.
Jiang Chaoge was immediately out of breath as he was surrounded by warblers and swallows.
As for that?
Everyone is like a wolf or a tiger.
Such a scene naturally made Zhang Junqie, Xu Zhi and others look envious, but they did not feel jealous.
Mother Liu saw that Jiang Chaoge seemed to be unable to bear it, and finally said: "Okay, okay, daughters, Miss Wenji has opened the door to the pavilion, please make way for Mr. Jiang."
"Mom is just partial!"
"Oh, it's just that we are shallow in talent and not in the eyes of gangsters."
"If Mr. Jiang comes out of Miss Wenji's pavilion, can he come to my pavilion to get together?"
"..."
The group of warblers and swallows finally dispersed.
Jiang Chaoge was led by Liu's mother to the door of a greenhouse on the second floor.
A pretty maid stood at the door. Seeing Jiang Chaoge coming up, she immediately let the door open: "Mr. Jiang, Miss Wen Ji invites you."
"Miss Lu'er, Brother Jiang hasn't handed over the name sticker yet." Zhang Junqe joked from the side.
"The name Mr. Jiang is as useful as a name sticker." Lu'er opened the door to the pavilion.
Jiang Chaoge was not polite and walked in.
Then, the door was blocked by Lu'er again, preventing Zhang Junqi and others from entering.
Then, Zhang Junqie shouted again: "Miss Lu'er, why is this happening? We are walking with Brother Jiang as friends!"
"Then you have to keep the distance." Lu'er stretched out his hand towards Zhang Junqe.
Zhang Junqi sighed: "Oh, it's just that we don't have Brother Jiang's talent..."
Having said that, obediently offer the gift.
Lu'er was no longer in trouble: "Since I am a friend of Mr. Jiang, I can come in."
…
After Jiang Chaoge entered, he found that the Nuan Pavilion was actually extremely spacious.
It is divided into ‘outer pavilion’ and ‘inner pavilion’.
There is a screen placed between the two pavilions, with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on it, and two brass incense burners placed on the left and right.
In the middle are twelve wooden tables.
Jiang Chaoge picked a wooden table and sat down, while Zhang Junqie, Liu Hongyi and others sat next to each other, occupying four positions.
Then, there were waves of arguments outside the door.
Then, several young men came in.
As soon as they entered, several young people looked at Jiang Chaoge and saluted Jiang Chaoge.
Gradually, eleven of the twelve wooden tables have been seated.
The last person to come in was a young man, wearing a black attire with mountains and rivers ink rusted on it with silver threads. His waist was tied with a jade belt, and an emerald green jade pendant hung from it.
At this point, no one has come in.
Because, the pavilion door is closed.
At this time, Lu'er began to place drinks and fruit snacks on the twelve wooden tables. During this period, she naturally received some rewards.
Jiang Chaoge remained unmoved from beginning to end. After all...he never had any external possessions like money.
"Miss Wenji is out."
Not long after, a clear call came from inside.
Immediately, a graceful figure walked into the inner pavilion from the inner room.
Although separated by a screen, Jiang Chaoge could still see that she was an extremely elegant and dignified girl, wearing a white lotus skirt and a pair of rusty gold boots.
The girl entered the inner pavilion and greeted her through the screen: "Wenji, I have met all the gentlemen!"
The voice is clear and moving, as gentle as the wind.
When Jiang Chaoge heard this voice, he felt as if he was being bathed in the spring breeze.
Then, everyone returned the gift.
Cai Wenji took a seat.
Then, Cai Wenji spoke again: "Wenji is fortunate to be favored by the young gentlemen, so she will first present a song for the gentlemen to appreciate."
Just play the piano when you come up?
Jiang Chaoge was very satisfied. This era is indeed more elegant, unlike the previous world, where everything written on his face was "Hurry up!"
…
The melodious piano sound sounded.
Everyone was intoxicated.
Jiang Chaoge has the memory of winning without difficulty, so things are different now. When he listens to this song, it is no longer a song, but Wenji's inner meaning.
When the song ends, the sound stops.
The crowd cheered again.
All are words of praise.
Cai Wenji responded one by one with thanks.
Jiang Chaoge did not speak, and he found that the young man in black who came in last also did not speak.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu'er came out with rice paper again and showed it in front of everyone.
"Miss Wenji has decided on the topic today - National Scholar!"
"Guoshi? What a question!"
"It seems that Miss Wenji thinks that this provincial examination is based on the national scholar?"
"Brother Tang, what you said is wrong. A national scholar should make suggestions for the country, make contributions to the country, and establish a career for the country! The title of national scholar given by Miss Wenji is not just the word "guoshi"."
"Oh? Brother Li, what do you have to say?"
"The Holy One is young today. Although he is in charge of the court, he is not in charge of the government. All the power in the court is controlled by powerful ministers. Therefore, Miss Wenji's title of "Guoshi" means that the Holy One is thirsty for talents. Guessing this meaning, it is the title of "National Scholar".
The question is not far away."
"Is that so? Brother Li, congratulations!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
Cai Wenji replied: "Wenji's personal opinion."
Liu Hongyi found an opportunity and got in front of Jiang Chaoge: "The young master Tang just now is called Tang Jiezhi. I heard that he was born a child at the age of eight and was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen. There is also the young master Li who answered the question, Li Zeguang, and even more
That’s great, I heard that he is about to enter the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.”
"Brother Liu is laughing." Li Zeguang seemed to have heard Liu Hongyi's words: "I am not talented. I entered Confucianism and Taoism half a month ago, and now I am a scholar."
"Have you actually entered Confucianism?" Liu Hongyi immediately responded: "So, congratulations to Brother Li!"
"Congratulations, congratulations. Now that you have entered Confucianism and Taoism, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, even if you don't take the rural examination, you are still on the list!" Others also congratulated.
"Haha, even though I have entered Confucianism and Taoism, I still want to take the exam." Li Zeguang said modestly.
…
With Cai Wenji's "Guo Shi" title.
And the topic has been opened.
Everyone started talking loudly to get the opportunity to show their talents in front of Cai Wenji.
So, some people began to talk about the scholars of the Qin Dynasty.
"When it comes to national scholars, one cannot do without the Great Qin Scholars List. I think among the younger generation, the man in white from Xijing is the most admirable."
"I also think so. Xijing is in a land of demons and barbarians. Without Baiyi, the western border of Great Qin would not be as stable as it is now. By the way, I heard that the man in Baiyi is about to enter the fifth realm of the military strategist."
"..."
Listen to what everyone is saying.
Jiang Chaoge really remembered that when he was in Xiaoshan Village, Liang Ping'an also mentioned this Xijing white man.
Turns out he was a military strategist?
While I was thinking, I heard a voice.
"Long Yin, I would like to ask Young Master Jiang."
Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately stopped their discussion and looked at Jiang Chaoge. Even Cai Wenji in the pavilion seemed to move.
Jiang Chaoge looked over and asked the question from the young man in black who came in last.
Is this young man called Long Yin?
The name is weird.
However, he still replied: "Mr. Long, please ask."
"Mr. Jiang has a great talent for poetry. His song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is known all over the world. He also helped Mr. Wu Nan become a bachelor in one fell swoop with "Farewell to Wu Nan", and he was even cited as his only confidant in his life. I don't know what Mr. Jiang's love for him is.
What is the argument for this issue of national scholars?"
"Yes, we all admire Mr. Jiang's talent. We are lucky enough to meet him today, and we hope that Mr. Jiang can teach him a thing or two."
Everyone else nodded, as if they were looking forward to Jiang Chaoge's remarks.
Jiang Chaoge actually had no idea about the country's scholars, but after thinking about it, he still replied: "In my humble opinion, the country's scholars should first understand the suffering of the people. The people are the same as the world. In Huai'an today, it is in a year of disaster.
The flood is raging, if you can save the people by regulating the river, you will be a national soldier!"
"On river management?"
Everyone who was still looking forward to it all shook their heads slightly.
Even Zhang Junqi and Xu Zhi looked at Jiang Chaoge strangely.
Finally, Li Zeguang spoke: "Young Master Jiang has great poetic talent, but he seems to be ignorant of this national policy. The idea of river management is nothing more than building high embankments and clearing the river mud. However, the Keng River has been flooding for more than three hundred years. Although
Embankments are built every year, but there are still disasters every year, so I probably won’t be able to test the river management.”
When Tang Jiezhi heard this, he also nodded: "Yes, Mr. Jiang is very good at caring for the people's suffering. However, if we want to solve the flood problem in the Honghe River, we still have to start with the administration of officials. If we can rectify the administration of officials, investigate corruption, and truly build a high
The embankment can certainly stop the flood disaster."
Others also agree.
"Master Jiang should prepare some measures to rectify the administration of officials."
"Yeah yeah!"
"..."
Only the young man in black, Long Yin, had a faint brilliance in his eyes. However, he did not continue to ask, but ate snacks thoughtfully.
Jiang Chaoge didn't make any excuses. For things like guessing questions... everyone can just guess. If you can really guess right, then you've seen a ghost.
"when!"
A bell rings.
Lu'er came out: "Mr. Jiang, Miss Wenji invites you to come into the pavilion and see me alone."
