"Jun Chou, this move by the officials has profound meaning."
Mou Zicai did not answer directly, but said something incomprehensible.
Hong Tianxi thought for a while and asked with some confusion: "Cunsou, what does it mean to be meaningful?"
"The emphasis on civility and restraint on military affairs in the official family has not changed." Mou Zicai smiled faintly, "So I found an excuse to use the hanging garden to make him a ninth-grade official."
When they heard that the official rewarded a master craftsman as a ninth-grade official, the officials of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but talk about it.
Some people couldn't help but ask who Liu Quan was, and some couldn't help but feel lucky for Liu Quan.
Some people are jealous of Liu Quan. The casual officials from the ninth rank are also officials, and they are together with Qin Hui's imperial edict, which makes people think a lot.
"Germany, what do the officials mean by this?" After leaving his duty, Xu Qingsou invited Uncle Xie Fang to the sky garden of Zui Chunfeng Tea House and asked Uncle Xie while drinking tea.
Since both of them were father-in-law, no one else was allowed to come up except their entourage.
Uncle Xie Fang was drinking tea while looking at the hanging garden. He did not answer, but smiled mysteriously: "I heard that this hanging garden belongs to the government."
"Oh, there seems to be such a theory, but what does it have to do with the government's construction of the Ewang Temple?" Xu Qingsou put the teacup on the cup and looked around, a little confused.
Uncle Xie Fang unknowingly put down his teacup and sighed: "The official family has changed."
"Germany, are the officials now focusing on military affairs and neglecting civil service?" Xu Qingsou couldn't help being shocked and forgot to put down the teacup in his hand.
Until a stream of heat flowed out from his right hand. It turned out that in his absence, he found that he had almost unsteady the teacup and the tea had already flowed out of the teacup.
Feeling that he was too out of character, Xu Qingsou turned to Uncle Fang with some embarrassment.
Uncle Xie Fang was already looking towards the sky garden at this time, as if he had not seen Xu Qingsou's ugly appearance.
Xu Qingsou couldn't help but glanced at Uncle Xie with gratitude, hurriedly wiped his palms with the tablecloth, and coughed to indicate that he was done.
Hearing the sound of coughing, Uncle Xie Fang looked away from the chrysanthemum.
Uncle Xie Fang shook his head at this time and sighed: "For so many years in the Song Dynasty, the officials have valued civil servants over military officers. It is impossible for the officials to change for a while, and the officials do not want to change at all. But after this incident, the officials have views on civil servants, and they are no longer as good as before. Believe in civil servants."
"Indeed, the traitor Qin Hui was the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty on the surface, but in fact he was the work of the Jin Kingdom. He brought shame to the literati of the Song Dynasty." Xu Qingsou said this, but the topic changed, "We have been working hard in the Song Dynasty. Song, I have never been to the Hu people, so why should the officials be worried?"
"Weng Zhi, we think so, but the officials don't think so." Uncle Xie Fang added tea to Xu Qingsou's tea cup, tapped his fingers on the coffee table, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "Why do officials get heart disease? Song Chongwen Qingwu believed in civil servants, but with the traitor Qin Hui, the official family lost their last support, which made the official family very angry."
"So, the official's internal treasury built the Ewang Temple just for the civil servants to see?" Xu Qingsou thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
Uncle Xie Fang thought for a while and expressed his analysis: "The officials may do it for the officials, military generals, and even the world."
"Then how should we civil servants deal with it?" Xu Qingsou frowned and felt a little confused.
Uncle Xie Fang did not answer and went into thinking, "Let me think about it."
Xu Qingsou nodded, stopped disturbing him, and concentrated on drinking tea.
Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the orange tangerines. He asked his follower Xie De to pick a basket of tangerines, wash them, and hand them to Xu Qingsou. At the same time, he peeled them open and started eating.
Although Uncle Xie Fang was eating tangerines, he was thinking about the problem.
He put down the citrus in his hand, wiped his hands with a rag, and suddenly said: "The official is obviously trying to comfort the general, but he doesn't completely believe the general."
"De Fang, do you feel this way after eating official tangerines?" Xu Qingsou looked at the tangerines and said jokingly.
"Exactly," Uncle Xie Fang peeled another tangerine and swallowed it before saying, "Weng Zhi, think about it, the reason why the officials dismissed Liu Quan as an official was because he built this hanging garden, not because King E temple."
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Xu Qingsou shook his head and reminded: "Liu Quan, a man granted by the official family, not only built the Hanging Garden, but is now also building the Ewang Temple."
Uncle Xie Fang looked at him and expressed his opinion: "Weng Zhi, there are two reasons why the officials built the Ewang Temple. One is that the Ewang Temple is dedicated to serving the country, and the other is that the Ewang is both civil and military. If the Ewang is not If he is a Confucian general but a vulgar warrior, he will definitely not be treated like this."
"De Fang, what you mean is that for officials to believe that military commanders must either be either vulgar warriors or be literate." Xu Qingsou replied while thinking.
Uncle Xie Fang nodded, and his tone was extremely sure: "Yes."
"But military generals are different from civil servants. It will take ten years for civil servants to rebel, but it is possible for military generals to rebel at any time." Xu Qingsou thought for a while and said with the same certainty.
Uncle Xie Fang nodded and agreed very much: "Officials still have to rely on civil servants. This is the experience of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years."
The two laughed loudly and clinked the teacups in their hands as if they were wine glasses.
Xu Qingsou was extremely happy and shouted to the waiter: "Waiter, change the tea."
"The citrus from the official family is really good." Uncle Xie peeled another tangerine and stuffed it into his mouth slowly.
Zui Chunfeng fifth floor, "Da Song Zhonghua News" editorial department.
Liu Yunliang, Lu Wei, Man Tianxing, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Gao Ming, Liu Quan and others gathered together, along with Mei Shou, Jiang Zheng and Xiao Huadong.
Liu Yunliang's eyes were filled with tears, filled with tears of excitement, and he kept cupping his hands toward the sky: "The sky finally opened its eyes, and King E's spirit appeared underground. Qin Hui, the traitor, has finally been ruined and will be completely infamy for thousands of years."
"The Temple of King E has finally been officially built, and the government has contributed some copper coins. King E can finally rest in peace." Lu Wei wiped his tears, crying and laughing at the same time, making it difficult to tell whether he was laughing or not. cry.
"I am so angry that I lean on the railing, and the misty rain stops... Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon, thirty years of fame and dust..." Wen Tianxiang, Man Tianxing, Lu Xiufu, Gao Ming and others, With tears in his eyes, he recited "Man Jiang Hong" by King E.
Mei Shou and Jiang Zheng were also infected. They sat down in front of the piano and chanted and played.
Liu Yunliang also chanted along. After finishing the chant, he laughed loudly, bowed his hands, and said to everyone: "Qin Hui, this great traitor, has been infamy for thousands of years. The officials of the Ewang Temple participated in the construction. On such a happy day, it should be obvious. I treat you to a guest. , at Jingyuan Restaurant, I won’t go home until I’m drunk.”
Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed and bowed to each other: "It should be like this. You won't go home until you're drunk."
"This is a celebration, of course it's worth it." Lu Xiufu looked around and suddenly patted his forehead: "The students felt that there were two people missing."
"We are all here, there is nothing missing." Wen Tianxiang looked around and looked at Lu Xiufu with some confusion.
Lu Xiufu looked at Wen Tianxiang, bowed his hands in the direction of Yanguan Lane, and bowed solemnly: "Without the efforts of the iron-faced censor and the living man, this matter may not have been possible."
"Exactly, the two Qingliu played a key role." Many people, including Mei Shou, nodded and looked at Liu Yunliang.
"Thank you, Junshi, for reminding me." Liu Yunliang bowed his hands and then frowned, "I have already had this intention, but are these two officials willing to attend our banquet?"
Although Liu Yunliang is the shopkeeper of the Song Dynasty China Newspaper, he is still a businessman and is inherently inferior to officials.
Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang looked at each other, their original excitement suddenly extinguished.
"We'll go invite them." Mei Shou and Liu Quan looked at each other and came out together.
One of them is from the sixth rank, and the other has just been promoted to a casual official, but they are quite capable.
Liu Yunliang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed his hands to Mei Shou and Liu Quan: "Thank you both very much. It would be best if you could invite them. If they really have something to do, we won't force them. We will wait in He Yue Ya Room."
Lu Wei nodded and had to admit this.
Their place is relatively complicated, with businessmen, students, editors, and officials, and I don't know if the two of them are willing to come.
You must know that Mou Zi is the ordinary man, and Hong Tianxi is the iron-faced censor. Both of them are clear streams among the clear streams.
Hong Tianxi returned to his residence with a happy face, and his wife Hong Yuanshi also had a happy face and hurriedly went out to greet him.
This made Hong Tianxi stunned. Hong Yuanshi kept giving him a bad look. Except for coming out to greet him on the occasion of the wedding, he almost never came out. Could it be that the sun was rising in the west?
Seeing the confusion on Hong Tianxi's face, Hong Yuanshi couldn't help but blush.
It is not easy to be a man in Song Dynasty, but it is not easy to be a woman either.
Although she is not a lady, she is also from a scholarly family.
Although she is not a talented woman, she has been a young lady who can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child.
All she wants from her future husband is a small Jinshi.
This request was too low, and the family couldn't help but be stunned.
The family thought about it and felt that they were from a good family and Yuan was talented and handsome, so they should be able to find a good son-in-law.
After discussion at home, they were more accommodating to her and agreed to her request.
But Jinshi is not the cabbage and white radish that are all over the streets.
That one is extremely precious, as rare as Korean ginseng.
You know, there were only about three hundred Jinshi in the three years of the Song Dynasty.
For this promise, she waited and waited from the age of thirteen to sixteen.
Time flies, six years have passed, and she has changed from a little lady to a big lady, because she is already nineteen years old.
If she doesn't get married, she will become an old lady, and her family will be worried.
In desperation, her family found her a third-term candidate with a good family background.
There is only half a step between being a third-term candidate and becoming a Jinshi, but this half step has ruined the fate of many people.
The candidates for the third term must be related to each other in order to change from being a candidate to being a Jinshi.
Because of this, Yuanshi flatly rejected the family's arrangement and still had to wait.
Perhaps it was God's arrangement that Hong Tianxi had just passed the Jinshi examination.
The family wanted to catch their son-in-law, and they happened to catch Hong Tianxi.
Hong Tianxi's appearance was average, and his family background was even more average. He was five years older than Yuan. However, Yuan was extremely beautiful and could play chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her family also gave her 50 acres of land as a dowry, so she naturally agreed.
After Hong Yuan married Hong Tianxi, she discovered that this Jinshi was not as beautiful as he looked.
Moreover, when Jinshi enters the official career, they usually start from the eighth rank, and some even go to the ninth rank.
The salary of the Song Dynasty was high in the past. After the Song Dynasty crossed south, especially after professing tribulation to the Kingdom of Jin, the salary of officials was only 30% of the previous one.
In the Lizong era, especially when fighting against the Hu people, the Song Dynasty court was overwhelmed and was forced to issue Huizi in large quantities, making the salary of Song Dynasty officials equivalent to about 10% of the previous level.
On the surface, Hong Tianxi is supporting the family, but it is better to say that the Hong Yuan family is supporting the family, because the Hong Yuan family still has fifty acres of land.
Hong Yuanshi and Hong Tianxi gave birth to two daughters and three sons. All four children got married, except for the youngest one who did not get married.
She felt that she was worried about getting married when she was young, and worried about her family after getting married.
What does it mean to worry about family? Worry about officials’ salaries, and even more worry about raising children.
It is not easy for the children to grow up, and they have to worry about their daughters getting married to a boy and a girl.
The adopted daughters of the Song Dynasty were all losers. In order for her two daughters to marry into a good family, she was forced to divide fifty acres of land into two parts, one for each daughter.
Fortunately, the two sons kept up with each other, and Dalang finally passed the Jinshi examination after several efforts.
Erlang was also a third-term scholar. The court saw that Hong Tianxi was a censor, so the court gave Erlang a place with the same Jinshi.
But Sanlang did not have this opportunity, because the spot of fellow Jinshi was already occupied by Erlang.
Saburo is not young now, already twenty-five, the eldest brother is not young, he should start a family.
The woman's requirements are not high, just a house.
Seeing her youngest son growing up day by day, Hong Yuanshi felt anxious in her eyes and worried in her heart.
Hong Tianxi was only a seventh-rank censor, not a censor, and he could not live in the official government, but could only rent a house.
It is not easy for Hong Tianxi to support his family with his small salary. How can he buy a house.
Just when Hong Yuanshi was disappointed, she didn't expect that Hong Tianxi would get sponsorship from the little saint and finally be able to buy a house in Lin'an Mansion.
Hong Yuanshi chose a house that he was satisfied with and then reported it to Hong Tianxi.
"My lord, the new house has been chosen. When will you know when you will know your new residence?" Hong Yuanshi saluted him and proudly reported to the lord.
Hong Tianxi couldn't help but be overjoyed. While returning the gift, he said: "This lady is determined."
"Official, my in-laws have agreed to get married. When will we get married?" After all, we are an official, so we still have to ask for his opinion.
"This lady is the one who makes the decision." Hearing this, Hong Tianxi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
What he is worried about now is that his younger son's marriage has not been finally resolved and he has finally fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
But he didn't stay in this mood for long before someone came to the door.
This person is none other than Mei Shou and Liu Quan.
Seeing Hong Tianxi, the two of them handed over their famous thorns and saluted to Hong Tianxi.
When the two of them saw Hong Tianxi with a serious face, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Although Mei Shou is an official of the court, he does not work in the court after all, but in Lin'an Mansion. He is born to be a dwarf.
This is second, and more importantly, the two of them don't work in the same place and have almost no contact with each other.
After taking the famous thorn from Mei Shou's hand, Hong Tianxi couldn't help but frown, and while returning the courtesy, he asked: "Mr. Mei, what do you want from me?"
His tone was extremely cold, as if he was refusing to accept anything.
As for Liu Quan, a newly promoted official from the ninth rank, he didn't even look at him.
"Congratulations to Yushi Hong for successfully assassinating the traitor Qin Hui. Someone is hosting a banquet at Jingyuan Restaurant and I'm here to invite you." Mei Shou gritted his teeth and invited him respectfully.
Hong Tianxi returned the famous assassin in his hand to Mei Shou and said calmly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a minister. You two have good intentions, I have prepared dinner at my house, and it's time to have dinner."
After saying that, he held the end of the teacup in his hand to show off the guests. For mobile phone users, please browse Zongheng at the end of the Song Dynasty for a better user experience.
