Chapter 59
The study room is very large, and books are piled up on the ceiling on the bookshelf on both sides.
It seems that Lao Cai rarely meets people in the study, so there is no so-called guest seat arrangement here. He ordered a chair to be sent temporarily and tea was carried.
Cai You sat down and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained. Your article, your serialized "Lanruo Temple", and the river defense you repaired. The three small things combined are people and things that are rare in recent years that can impress my official positions."
Zhao Cheng was stunned. He was also a direct person. What’s interesting is that he also knew about these things?
This is the advantage of starting from small things. Sometimes, looking at it separately, each clip is average for big people, but the so-called dripping water wears away a stone, the impact of multiple small clips is very strong after combining them.
Cai You also started his encounter with King Duan (Emperor Huizong) since the reign of Emperor Zhezong, and became step by step. To a certain extent, Cai You's career was related to Cai Jing, but he was also relatively independent. He relied entirely on the mediocre people at home and would definitely not dare to wrestle the prime minister's father, but this guy really dared to wrestle the prime minister's father in the future.
As a treacherous minister in history, there is a view that the existence of this guy is of significance, and its greatest function is to make things difficult for those who are Tong Guan and Wang Fu. Without Cai You, the biggest disasters in the late Northern Song Dynasty would have been even more unscrupulous.
Under the rule of the Huanle Tyrant Emperor, the entire environment was basically decayed, and people who were not treacherous could not enter the temple. However, this guy could enter and form a certain balance on several disasters.
To a certain extent, the Yuanyou Party (Literary and Taoism) marked by Sima Guang's great restoration began with the fall of Cai Jing and Cai You. Although this tendency was already under Zhao Ji's rule, the Cai family was prevented by checks and balances.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuanyou Party became popular.
What happened to the Yuanyou Party? Simply put, it is to recite poems that are about living a life of drunkenness and dreams, which are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, seeking and ceding the country from the outside, and being as cruel as the internal Neo-Confucianism. The mortal enemy of the Yuanfeng Party (Wang Anshi).
Once, the prime minister Wang Anshi said, "It is useful to recite a poem that is so wet", so he deleted the subjects of the imperial examination. Lao Wang was a bit rough, which roughly means that the consul does not need to be able to recite poems, but needs to know how to be a person and do things.
After entering the great rise of the Yuanyou Party in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the peak of Su Shi's reputation, whose talent was amazing throughout Asia. How could he reach? Children in the streets would say the rumor: "Su Wen cooks, eat mutton, and eat vegetable soup."
Lamb was a high-end synonym in the Song Dynasty. In the words of later generations, it was "will be a young model when you recite poetry, and if you don't recite poetry, you will be missed."
If the Song Dynasty had three thousand strategic bombers endorsed by the Thieves in World War II, it would be a good thing to play this game even though it was a bit funny. However, half of the country fell at that time, and the Jin people burned, killed and looted in Jiangbei.
In "Thoughts on Climbing Yueyang Tower", Grandpa Yue said, "The Hu people killed me, Hanwa, as a two-legged sheep, but the whole society was drunk and dreaming and chanting poems and songs." What he criticized was actually the "Yuanyou culture" advocated by Song Gaozong.
This is the first time Yue Fei made a taboo. In the Song Dynasty, he criticized culture and emperors. For example, there were not many problems in criticizing Zhongnanhai policies in later generations, but he tried to criticize the Tianlong culture. The rule is that the King of Hell is more difficult to deal with by the ghosts. Wang Anshi, the master of Emperor Wenzong, could not fight against the Yuanyou Party and be demonized by the whole family in all aspects. Can Yue Fei, a temporary worker in the Song Dynasty, be happy?
From this point of view, Wang Anshi's almost perfect style was almost listed as the treacherous ministers. It is inevitable that Cai Jing, who is more powerful than Wang Anshi, and who is corrupt and corrupt, is included as one of the great thieves of Huizong.
But just like the role of the eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty was to check and balance the Donglin party, in fact, the role of the Cai family in the late Northern Song Dynasty was similar. Objectively speaking, the Cai family was much gentler than the eunuch party.
The Yuanyou Party was just a little more powerful in killing the Tartars, and its combat power against foreign races was really weak. They could beat people as powerful as Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, but they could not raise their heads, but when they met a mere Dangxiang people (Xixia), they would cede land to seek peace. For example, Grandpa Yue could hang the Jurchen wild boar skin and beat it until it was shit, but when they met the Yuanyou Party, they would lose.
When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Cai You ask with a smile: "What do you think about? Do you think about your own studies and career?"
After Zhao Cheng came back to his senses, he said nothing. The people of the Cai family must like to listen to Zhao Cheng's words, but they are also knowledgeable and cannot just talk nonsense. Assuming that Zhao Cheng is now a Jinshi graduated from the Imperial College, then you can mention the issue of the Yuanyou School, but now a mere elementary school student is dislocated.
We should also learn more about this guy. For Zhao Cheng, Cai You is the person who is most likely to bring Zhao Cheng to the capital and to the emperor at present.
Cai You smiled again, "Don't think too much, I have also known you, I have been a scholar in Chongning for three years (graduating from elementary school)?"
Anyway, this is what I wrote on my academic record, so Zhao Cheng said: "Reply to my husband's words, that's right."
Cai You said, "Then you don't need to think too much, don't be too ambitious. Such a foundation is far from mentioning the official position. From a small matter, this is very important."
"Thank you, please remind me." Zhao Cheng said.
Cai You twisted his beard for a while, "Zhao Cheng... What attracts the most attention of this state is not the popularity brought by your papers and works, but that you are a scholar and are willing to go to the river defense construction site and achieve success. This is the key."
Zhao Cheng secretly called luck. Perhaps at this level, he had already seen all kinds of suggestions and Jing Xiu's articles, and he was used to the various tricks of expressing the welcome.
Cai You suddenly said again: "I asked you, do you really believe in the fact that carp jumps over the dragon gate?"
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe there may be, but if it really happens, it can only be regarded as a natural way of view, and cannot be interpreted as a miracle. Everything needs to be accumulated and requires multiple variables to boost it. If the water cannot be completed without the canal, I think that if the horizontal plane is not at the gantry gate, the fish cannot jump over it. It is true that the horizontal plane has arrived, and the fish can passively swim over it without jumping."
Cai You laughed and said, "It sounds interesting. I finally know why you are being followed by more people."
Zhao Cheng refused to comment.
Cai You said again: "You were also present at the Academy's public forum that day. Do you have any ideas about the Chizhou bandits mentioned by Mr. Xiao Su?"
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "Ming Gong Ming believes that this is really not something that a scholar like this can think of, so he has no opinion."
Cai You looked strange, "What you mean is that Young Master Su is so ambitious and arrogant?"
Zhao Cheng Waterfall Khan, it turns out that talking to a treacherous and smart person is relatively simple.
Miss Cai, who was eavesdropping outside the study, was furious and thought that this kid was really a traitor. He belittled the talented Su Zaifang with his treacherous father?
A nest of snakes and rats!
