Su Yonglin once wanted to ask Xin Qiji why he wrote the poem "The Case of Sapphire", but later Xin Qiji explained it in detail in his own article, so Su Yonglin stopped asking.
In the article he contributed at that time, Xin Qiji described the causes and consequences of writing this poem and his inner feelings, describing the decadence of the upper classes and the hardships of the people at the bottom that he saw in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The huge sense of tear caused by the two completely different situations made him feel extremely ridiculous. Under such strong emotions, he decided to completely separate from the old era, so he wrote that poem.
This surprised Su Yonglin.
He was surprised by the completely different meanings expressed by the same word in different circumstances.
Then, other than sighing that Xin Qiji was awesome, he had no other feelings.
His poor literary accomplishment leaves him with no other better words to describe Xin Qiji's talent other than being awesome.
Therefore, he hoped that Xin Qiji could also write a few more poems, which could be used as teaching materials or test questions in the future to help students understand some things that the original author himself did not understand, so as to benefit students all over the world.
It’s interesting to think about it.
For example, ask students who the "person" Xin Qiji wrote about is exactly.
However, when Su Yonglin suggested that Xin Qiji could develop a little bit in the direction of a generation of poets, Xin Qiji made it clear that he was not very enthusiastic about this and had no ideas.
Maybe he will consider it after retirement, but in his prime, when he is putting his passion and knowledge into practice, how can he write some poems that criticize the evils of the times like a harem?
And after all, what are the current shortcomings of Ming Dynasty that he needs to criticize?
If it really happened, it wouldn't be his turn to stir up emotions and write poems. Su Yonglin would have washed them away with physical means, leaving him no room to express himself.
"Poetry is, after all, a way to cultivate personal sentiments. After all, I am the chief of staff of the Ming Dynasty. I should focus more on the military work of the Ming Dynasty and the battle on the battlefield, rather than poetry. No matter how well written poetry is, it cannot make the country strong. We can’t let the army win the war, it’s just useless.”
Seeing Xin Qiji's attitude, Su Yonglin couldn't help but feel pity for the vast number of contemporary and future candidates. Without so many poems, the scope of the questions would be narrowed.
but……
never mind.
Su Yonglin smiled and patted Xin Qiji on the shoulder.
"Beyond work, there is nothing more than life. Of course you can love your work, but you should also know how to rest and have fun after work. Although I am busy with official duties, I also practice martial arts in my free time, spend time with my family, or read and practice calligraphy. Write the articles you want to write.
For me, these things are relaxation and leisure after dealing with official duties. They are very good things to relieve stress. You must also learn to relieve some of the pressure at work. If I could write poetry, I would have written it long ago and published it. It would be great to win applause from the whole house, but unfortunately, I can’t do it. "
Xin Qiji touched his chin.
"Is that so...you are so busy at work, but can you still find time?"
"I am not an iron man. After all, I need to rest and do my own things, such as spending time with my family. My second son was born not long ago. When the eldest son was born, it was the busy and dark time in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so I didn't accompany him. It is the most regrettable thing. Now that I have the opportunity to make up for my regrets, of course I must seize the opportunity."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "I heard that your wife is also pregnant. This is your second child. Spend more time with your family. Take a vacation when you need it. If you don't have anything too busy, you have to seize the time to rest. Don't worry about it. Something went wrong because I was tired."
Xin Qiji's eldest son was born four years ago, and now his wife is pregnant again. Su Yonglin felt that Xin Qiji could take some time to spend time with his family.
Otherwise, he would be busy after the campaign to go south to destroy the Song Dynasty was launched.
Xin Qiji was like this, so why wasn't Su Yonglin like this?
When the eldest son of the family was born, it was the busiest time for Jianguo. He was so busy in his previous life that he had no time to care about his family. He could only let Zhao Xirui work hard and be both a father and a mother. Instead, he was given the opportunity to have a loving father. identity.
Now that the youngest son was born, the government was still busy, but not so busy that he couldn't spare time to spend time with his family. Zhao Xirui now also had things to do in the women's department, so sometimes Su Yonglin would take the initiative to take over the job of accompanying the younger son.
After Zhao Xirui was pregnant for ten months, she gave birth to Su Yonglin's second child, also a son.
Su Yonglin felt a little regretful about this, because he actually wanted a daughter for this pregnancy and wanted to have a taste of having both children.
But now that the child was born, he was happy and happy. He spent a lot of time with his son and Zhao Xirui, who was in confinement, and then discussed with Zhao Xirui about having a daughter for the third child, but Zhao Xirui scolded her.
Being an emperor isn't enough work? What third one do you want? Are you too busy to come here? Is this something you should consider?
Su Yonglin was scolded and was speechless.
Needless to say, this was the first time he felt the hardship of raising a child. Although there were professional confinement nannies and nannies in the palace who could help with the child, he still found time to raise the child by himself, and then he felt all kinds of hardships. Difficulties.
The emperor personally changed the child's diaper and then had his face wet with urine or something. This has always been a secret in the palace and was unwilling to be talked about to the outside world.
However, Su Yonglin felt deeply from these quite hard physical jobs.
"If you have time, spend more time with your wife and children. After the child is born, you should also take care of it for a while. Really, you will have some very different experiences."
"A different experience?"
Xin Qiji was a little confused: "What other experience can there be in raising children? Is it nothing more than gratitude for the kindness of my parents and feeling the hardship and difficulty?"
"Maybe for a man, the state of mind will be different."
Su Yonglin smiled: "In short, it is definitely not a bad thing for us to spend more time with our families and put more thoughts on them. We people who have been in high positions for a long time can easily develop a condescending mentality. This is not good. If you take care of your children, you can regain the mentality of an ordinary person."
Xin Qiji thought for a while and then laughed.
"In that case, I know and I will try."
"Um."
The eighth year of Hongwu was indeed a good year for the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the year, the Sichuan-Shu War broke out, and the Ming army occupied Sichuan and Shu, ending the absurd Shu-Song regime.
At the end of March, the Yellow River diversion project was gradually coming to an end. Tian Guizi, the general person in charge of the Yellow River diversion project, censor of Zuodu in the Ming Dynasty, prime minister of the Renaissance and director of the Ministry of General Affairs, officially reported to the court that the Yellow River diversion project was coming to an end.
It only takes up to two months for final inspection and coordination to finally complete the Yellow River diversion project, allowing the Yellow River water to return to its old route of the Eastern Han Dynasty and flow eastward into the sea.
Su Yonglin was overjoyed when he heard the news. In early April of the eighth year of Hongwu, he went to inspect the construction site along the Yellow River again. Together with Tian Guizi, they walked the entire new Yellow River channel that was about to be used and inspected the dams and diversion facilities in each river section.
Tian Guizi was particularly happy this time, saying that he finally lived up to expectations and could ensure that the entire diversion project would be completed in the middle of the eighth year of Hongwu. From then on, the hundreds of years of flooding of the Yellow River since the collapse of the Yellow River in the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties would come to an end. .
The risk of crisis every year and collapse every year will now be a thing of the past.
"Although this major project cost more than 40 billion yuan and took more than five years, I feel that it is all worth it. I am determined to overhaul the Yellow River, which is better than having to endure breaches and flooding every year. Risks come good.
Every breach or flooding will bring extremely heavy losses, and it can almost completely wash away the hard-earned achievements of construction, and many people will die. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, although this project is extremely expensive, it is still is extremely necessary. "
Tian Guizi said to Su Yonglin with a smile: "In recent years, the imperial court has been facing financial difficulties and labor difficulties. Many things have been delayed. The imperial court must have a lot of dissatisfaction. But once the old roads of the Eastern Han Dynasty are restored and the Yellow River flows eastward into the sea, nothing else will happen." It is said that the sacred land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River will surely quickly return to its original prosperity."
