My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 49
It was only then that Su Ze remembered that it was still the Ming Dynasty, "Guwen Guanzhi" hadn't been written yet, and the article "Yueyang Tower" was actually not widely circulated.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, scholars most admired Song Studies. After Zhu Yuanzhang promoted Neo-Confucianism as official scholarship, academic research in the Song Dynasty flourished, and Song Dynasty literature was also widely disseminated.

However, people at the time liked the articles of Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, and Sansu most, and then the articles of Neo-Confucianists Er Cheng and Zhu Xi, and they did not pay much attention to Fan Zhongyan, a literati in the early Song Dynasty.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, especially after the "Civil Castle Change" and "Seize the Gate Change", the academic circles of the Ming court had a huge shock and brought a strong wave of reflection.

At this time, Neo Confucianism, which was the official academic, and Song Dynasty literature were strongly criticized, and at the same time, the revival trend of thought, began to dislike Song Xue and Song Wen, and began to advocate ancient prose.

The literary circles put forward the ancient prose trend of "renewing the world, the sun and the moon will be bright" and opposed the "Song and Yuan abuses". There were two schools of literati and bureaucrats, one was the ancient Han and Tang literature school that admired Han and Tang literature, and the other was advocating the ancient literature of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Pre-Qin ancient prose school of pre-Qin prose.

After Zhengde Year, when the study of mind swept the world and became the "Xin Xue" alongside Neo Confucianism, Wang Yangming himself also admired ancient prose and opposed Song Dynasty literature, which was hated by the entire literati circle.

And Fan Zhongyan is the unlucky person who was implicated by Song Xue.

When he was advocating Song studies, because the articles of Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong and Sansu were too powerful, they were never taken seriously.

When the Ming Dynasty began to oppose Song studies, because Fan Zhongyan was from the Song Dynasty, no one printed his anthology.

It was not until "Guwen Guanzhi" became popular all over the country in the Qing Dynasty that "Yueyang Tower" became popular. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Yueyang Tower was overhauled, and after that it became a famous cultural relic.

Hai Rui stared at Su Ze and said, "Do you remember the whole text?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "Do you want to listen to the instruction?"

Hai Rui stopped in his tracks and said, "As much as you can recite!"

Su Ze watched the people coming and going on the road, but seeing Hai Rui's serious face, he could only hold back his shame and began to recite:
"In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County."

"Yueyang Tower" is said to be long but not long, only 360 characters in total.

When he was an undergraduate, Su Ze once traveled to Yueyang Tower poorly. At that time, the policy of Yueyang Tower scenic spot was to memorize "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and he could go to the building for free. Su Ze can be said to have a deep memory of this article, and he recited it in rhythm.

Hai Rui was also fascinated by it, and when he heard the ancient famous saying "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself", Hai Rui couldn't help but admire:

"As expected of Fan Xiwen who received the posthumous posthumous title of Wenzheng! He is truly a hero!"

After Su Ze finished reciting, Hai Rui immediately pulled him and said, "Let's go! Go back to the county school and recite it to me! I want to copy this article down!"

Su Ze asked with a half-smile: "Hai Jiaoyu, are you not resigning?"

Hai Rui was slightly taken aback, then took out his resignation letter from his sleeve, tore it in half on the spot and said:
"Mr. Fan Wenzheng said, "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." How could Hai abandon the county school because of a temporary reputation?"

Hai Rui remembered that Su Ze had to go to the county office to deliver the letter of guarantee, so he immediately said, "Let's go to the county office first, and then go back to the county school after you deliver the letter of guarantee!"

Seeing Hai Rui's hurried appearance, Su Ze laughed in his heart, but Su Ze was still very happy to be able to persuade Hai Rui not to resign from office.

Lin Xianyang followed from a distance, not knowing exactly what Su Ze had said to this Hai Jiaoyu.

Lin Xianyang only thought that Brother Ze was really capable, and he could get along well with an official like Hai Rui. Sure enough, he was a great scholar!
Unknowingly, the three finally arrived at the county government office.

The Yanping government office and Nanping county office are located at the east and west ends of the county street respectively. The county offices in the Ming Dynasty were all standard buildings.

Opposite the county government is the Jingshan Pavilion, which is used to honor the good people and good deeds of Nanping County.

On the side of Jingshan Pavilion is Shenming Pavilion. The function of this pavilion is to "post announcements" and "declare enlightenment". Posted on it, it can be regarded as the county government's propaganda corridor.

Next to the county government office is the courier shop, which is the courier center for delivering and receiving official documents.

The main entrance of the county government office was also in the shape of a halberd gate, because Hai Rui was wearing an official uniform, and the gate guards didn't dare to make things difficult for the group of people, so they let the three of them in.

Lin Xianyang followed behind Su Ze, and said happily, "If it weren't for Mr. Hai, it would have cost hundreds of pennies just to enter the door."

Su Ze looked at the chubby yamen servant at the door. As the saying goes, little ghosts are hard to deal with, and this county yamen's janitor kid is the most difficult thing to deal with.

The three of them walked into the second door, which was the Yimen of the county government. After the Yimen, there was the office area of ​​the county government. Lin Xianyang quickly lowered his head, just followed behind Hai Rui.

Entering Yimen, there are five rows of ten houses on the left and right on both sides, and you can see officials in soap-colored servants and servants in official costumes entering and leaving them.

Hai Rui pointed to these rooms and said, "These are the Jiage Treasury, the Chengfa Department, the Official's Room, the Military Room, the Household Room, the Criminal Room, the Ritual Room, the Workshop, the Soap Room, and the Drainage Room. It's all right, it's the fourth row of rooms on the right."

Su Ze thanked Hai Rui, and when he was about to go to the ceremony room, Lin Xianyang stopped him and handed him a piece of silver.

Su Ze froze for a moment, but still stuffed the broken silver into his palm.

The ceremony room is a rectangular brick house. After Su Ze entered, he saw an incense table enshrining Confucius. There was a row of long tables on both sides of the incense table. There were officials sitting behind the table, chatting lazily.

As soon as Su Ze came in, the official's eyes were on him, Su Ze escaped the bail and said:
"Wei Suze, Changning, is preparing to take the county examination next year. He is here to submit a letter of guarantee."

An old official with presbyopia and white beard shouted, "Come here!"

Su Ze pressed the letter of guarantee and went over. The old official took out the letter of guarantee, and almost pressed his face to the letter of guarantee, slowly reading word by word.

Su Ze became a little nervous, only to see the old official suddenly say: "The handwriting signed by the guarantor is illegible, send it back and re-sign!"

Seeing the glint in the old official's eyes, Su Ze quickly put the broken silver on the table.

The old official didn't shy away from it, and directly weighed the broken silver with his hands, held it in front of his eyes to see the quality, and then said:

"It's a long way for you to go to and from Changningwei, and the handwriting is not unreadable, so let's forget it."

After saying this, the old official took out a list and said, "Just register your name and place of origin in this "Election Book for Examinations."

Su Ze quickly registered his name, only to hear the voice of the system:
