I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 145 Du Shiliu Ci, the father-in-law is mighty!
Su Zhai, the night is as cool as water.

Su Liang and his father-in-law Tang Ze were sitting in the backyard having a drink.

Su Liang suddenly asked: "May I ask my father-in-law, what do you think of Liu Yong and Liu Sanbian?"

Tang Ze was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "Liu Qizhi's slow lyrics are both elegant and popular. Later generations should learn from Du Gongbu when studying poetry, and Liu Sanbian when writing lyrics."

Su Liang couldn't help but be surprised.

Du's poems and Liu's poems are comparable.

His father-in-law actually compared Liu Yong's poems with Du Fu's poems.

You should know that the current literati of the Song Dynasty admire Du's poetry more than Li's poetry.

Because of Du's poems, the feelings of family and country that "dedicate to the kings Yao and Shun, but keep the customs pure" are very consistent with the current career pursuits of literati.

This rating is very high.

Tang Ze continued: "Everyone knows that Liu Qi writes erotic poems, but everyone knows that Liu Qi's poems have already established a sect, and the poems written by Huajian poets like Wen Tingyun and Wei Zhuang are flashy and unattractive. Liu Sanbian has already surpassed this realm of words of love!"

"Even Uncle Ouyang Yong and Uncle Yan Tong probably couldn't write such immortal sentences as 'A talented poet is naturally a prime minister in white clothes; he can bear the name and exchange it for a shallow drink and sing in a low voice'. Liu Qi's name will definitely stay in history." "

"However, as an official, he may be worse off. Perhaps it was the bumpy official career that earned him so many good words..."

Su Liang looked at Tang Ze with admiration.

He didn't expect that his father-in-law, who had always taught uprightly, would have such a state of mind, which completely coincided with his.

Su Liang thought for a while and said: "My father-in-law, I want to hire Mr. Liu Qi as the master of Baijia Academy Qirenju. What do you think?"

"What's the reason?" Tang Ze asked.

"There are three reasons. First, the Baijia Academy aims to gather the directors of hundreds of schools. Mr. Liu Qi's words are unique. His words alone can make many karaoke artists survive. This is a great good and deserves to be learned by future generations. .”

"Secondly, the only person in the world who can write about the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty with words is Liu Sanbian. I hope he can leave more words in his twilight years."

"Thirdly, elegance and vulgarity should coexist, and the same is true for articles. The Baijia College originally existed against the academic style of the scholars. I hope to use Liu Sanbian's words to once again inform the meaning of the Baijia College in the world. There is no high or low in all professions. He can be a teacher."

Tangze looked excited.

"My son-in-law, you said it well! Confucius said: There is no distinction between education and distinction. Nowadays, students all study for fame and wealth. In fact, they have forgotten their roots. How can learning be just for officialdom?"

A wry smile appeared on Su Liang's face.

"Master-in-law, it would be great if all the scholars in the world were as enlightened as you. I'm worried that if I appoint Mr. Liu Qi as the tutor of Baijia College, the scholars in the world... I'm afraid they will curse me to death."

Tang Ze stroked his beard and asked, "If you don't do it, will you regret it?"

These words made Su Liang's head tremble.

He will definitely regret it.

Poetry originated from the people and should be pure art.

If it is done to pay homage to high-ranking officials and seek an official career, if it is done for the sake of being arty and conciliatory, if it loses the interest of watching people's resentment, then it will be considered inferior.

Su Liang had the ability to stop it but failed to stop it, leaving future generations to see some flattering remarks.

That was Su Liang's fault.

Tangze added: "Son, life is short, only a hundred years, and there are very few things a person can do that will benefit future generations. Why care about the opinions of those mediocre people? Go ahead and do it, young people should show their talents. !”

"It is the lack of this energy among today's scholars that makes me, the Song Dynasty, weak and bullied by Liao and Xia. How can my son be assimilated by them? Back then, what I valued was your unique stubbornness. Mo Lost your original intention!”

Hearing this, Su Liang couldn't help but be in awe of Tang Ze.

"My father-in-law, please bow to my son-in-law. Listening to your words is worth three years of studying!"

Tang Ze couldn't help but raise his voice and said seriously: "Xian son-in-law, even if you are demoted or dismissed from office, you will still have a home in Yangzhou. I can teach and educate people, which is enough to support you!"

"Yeah!" Su Liang was very touched. Having a father-in-law who supported and understood him so well made him have no regrets in his life.at this time.

Su Zimu's clear cry came from not far away.

Tang Ze stood up in an instant and whispered: "Xian son-in-law, your voice must have been too loud just now and woke up Mu'er. It has nothing to do with... I have nothing to do with it!"

After that, Tang Ze picked up the wine bottle and glass on the table and ran away.

Su Liang looked at Tang Ze's back, dumbfounded.

This father-in-law is really a thief. We can share big troubles together, but we cannot share small mistakes.

At this time, Su Liang turned around.

At a glance, he saw the staring Tang Wanmei and Su Zimu running up in his arms.

"Oh, little Mu'er, are you awake? Come and give me a hug from my father."

Su Liang took the milk-scented Su Zimu and kissed her cheek hard.

Then he grabbed Tang Wanmei's waist and kissed her on the face.

Tang Wanmei, who was originally angry because Su Zimu was woken up by the sound of talking, immediately turned her anger into a smile and rolled her eyes at Su Liang with a hint of coquettishness.

Su Liang looked at Su Zimu's piercing big eyes and the lotus-jointed arms waving around, and guessed that this little guy was going to make trouble until midnight again.

……

at noon the next day.

Inside the Lujia Baozi Shop in the north of Shazhu Lane.

Su Liang and Cao Yi sat opposite each other. Most of the two cages of shrimp buns and two bowls of vegetable porridge had been eaten.

Su Liang informed him of his intention to hire Mr. Liu Qi as the tutor of Baijia College.

"Really? I... I particularly like Mr. Liu Qi's lyrics. I can sing more than ten of them!" Cao Yi looked excited.

He often visits Wazi, so he is naturally familiar with Liu Yong's lyrics.

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he was stunned again.

"But...but...the officials don't like Mr. Liu Qi, and the scholar-bureaucrats don't like Mr. Liu Qi either. If we do this, I don't have an official status, so I'm not afraid. You, a Taiwan admonishing officer who is a famous Jinshi, just Aren't you afraid that the scholars will scold you to death?"

After Cao Yi said this, he couldn't help but shudder.

If the scholars and scholars in Bianjing worked together, Tumo Xingzi could drown someone.

"We didn't use the court for a penny, we paid for it entirely out of our own pockets, so what right do they have to scold us!"

"Not only do we have to do it, but we also have to do it more formally. We must completely abide by the etiquette of hiring a teacher. The letter of betrothal and the etiquette of betrothal a wife must be in accordance with the specifications directly stated by the Imperial College!"

"Haha... Su Jingming, you are really not afraid of losing your official position!" Cao Yan admired Su Liang even more.

Su Liang's chest puffed up.

"In the future, we will do a lot of things that are not in line with the wishes of those scholars who are stupid because of reading!"

"Today, you first try to make an appointment with Mr. Liu Qi. Let's meet him and have a chat first, and then hold the recruitment ceremony."

"Yeah, no problem. We are in the same boat anyway. No matter how exciting it is, I dare to do it!" Cao Yan stood up and said particularly excitedly.

Ever since he met Su Liang, Cao Yi felt that the pursuit of immortality he had longed for was no longer interesting.

It was exciting to follow Su Liang and not take the usual path. Cao Yi suddenly felt that he had found the direction of his life.
