The moon waves condense, the cold furnace comforts, and the east wind wants to make you feel warm.
Looking at the sky near the jade pot, there is no dust, who will be with the fine spring green? (Note 1)
There was no one in the long and quiet field.
In the felt tent made of yellow sheepskin, Li Kuo was drinking strong wine alone.
I leaned against the copper brazier and looked at the scene in front of me, but I felt an indescribable sense of desolation.
He took a sip of the strong wine and shook his head. However, the green lights and bitter candles seemed a little desolate.
In a trance, I suddenly felt the candle shadow swaying, but the curtain opened lightly, and Chen Wenjing walked into the tent lightly.
With his hands back, he sighed softly, Chen Wenjing said regretfully: "Cui Zun is easy to cry, but there is no jade man playing the flute. It really makes such a distant mood."
Li Kuofang came to his senses since he thought about it, and saw that Chen Wenjing was in love with her sadness, and he was stunned.
"Brother Wenjing, I'm not here to talk about wine and beauty tonight."
With a wry smile, Chen Wenjing looked at Li Kuo with a slight squinted eyes: "General Li, what kind of person is Wen Jing in your mind?"
I don't know why Chen Wenjing said this, but Li Kuo bowed slightly and said loudly: "Brother Wenjing is an extraordinary strategist. Since ancient times, Emperor Gaozu of Han won Xiao He to determine the world, and Cao Mengde followed Xun Yu to pacify the world. If any wise lord could
With the help of Brother Wenjing, I believe I will definitely create a career in troubled times.”
Chen Wenjing's calm temperament and extraordinary strategy showed in analyzing the assassination of Aesopak made Li Kuo quite amazed. It was not intentional praise, but sincere respect!
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Wenjing whispered: "Whether it is now or not, I, Chen Wenjing, you, General Li, just admit your mistake."
He paused slightly, his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were a little dazed and misty.
"I also want to live a pastoral life of drinking in bamboo forests and flowing water. In the past, Tao Qian did not bow for five dou of rice and personally ploughed on the ridge, but he was famous for his eternal reputation. I am also a literati, but why don't I want to leave my name forever?
?” The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but Liu Wenjing was a little arrogant: “It’s just that although the famous scholar is good, it’s not suitable for you and me.”
"How do you say this?"
"Can General Li know that famous scholars are also true or false? Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, retro style has been popular among the world. Everyone has seen the elegance of famous scholars, but they have not seen the helplessness of famous scholars."
"What's the helplessness of famous scholars? A dream of yellow mills and a pot of wine, a white dress for a lifetime..."
"Baiyi? Maybe, the narrow self-esteem in the bones of the world made them frustrated after they turned to the landscape garden. But this love-willing landscape is mixed with too many political intentions?"
"How can you still have political intentions when you retire to the mountains and forests? Brother Wenjing's words are a bit biased." Li Kuo was dissatisfied and took Chen Wenjing to the top.
"These so-called famous scholars, like the dynasty, were mostly "retired" in the mountains and forests after being frustrated in political affairs. The purpose of this is mostly to create a reputation. Imitation of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, writing poems all day long, whistling on the original hills, bowing and bowing
After a long time, the word "famous scholar" hung on their heads."
After a slight pause, Chen Wenjing lowered his voice and said, "General Li, if you were a minister of the imperial court, what kind of people would you choose to recommend a wise man? These people are naturally recommended to the prefectures and counties, Jingzhao.
The two chose. Therefore, these "famous scholars" were reused by the court through the so-called "drinking with wine and crying with no end". At the very least, these retirements were just a trick to return to politics."
After a long silence, Li Kuo said, "If this is the case, I believe Brother Wenjing would have disdained this kind of practice and came to this bitter and cold place to find a way out?"
Chen Wenjing shook her head and said, "I am not as noble as you think. Even I have tried to enter the court like them. But I am not lucky enough to be recommended by the prefecture and county chiefs. I have retired.
It was ten years since I waited for almost all my edges and corners. I thought to myself that I was really unwilling to hide in the mountains and fields. If I want to realize my dream, I must not let it be covered with the loess with me!"
"Why didn't Brother Wenjing take the path of imperial examinations? With his literary talent, it would be not difficult to find a Jinshi graduate."
"Imperial Examination? Not to mention the tens of thousands of people who compete for those pitiful places every year, my articles are really appreciated. If you have the above, how much is it possible to become a high-ranking official? If it is released outside, it is better to be a high-ranking official?
How can I realize my political dream when I am a county magistrate in a remote village? Since ancient times, there are no poor families and no nobles. It is not easy to get through layers of forces and connections without getting involved? Although the country has created an imperial examination system to attract talents from all over the world.
, but the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system (Note 2) inherited from the Southern and Northern Dynasties still has a considerable influence, so how can it be eradicated day and night? I failed the three exams, and I was already completely disappointed."
Chen Wenjing said very calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"So, I chose to come to the Dafeichuan grassland. Although it was bitter and cold outside the frontier, it paid the most attention to human talents. Avoiding the many complicated relationships in the Central Plains, I could better utilize my own talents.
The head of the Patriarch helped me when I was in a down-and-out situation, so I naturally had to do my best to do my job for him. General Li saw many of my cruel and ruthless sides, so he thought I was a stern heart."
His cheeks were slightly red, and Li Kuo bowed and smiled bitterly, "Brother Wenjing, I really blamed you for your mistakes. I used to say that you did whatever you want for fame and fortune, but how could you know that you still have so many ambitions and difficulties."
Chen Wenjing turned her back, looked at the red flames jumping in the brazier, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not your fault. After all, I have indeed changed a lot in the years I have been in Najibian. If I want to do this,
To survive in a difficult environment, one must become hard and cruel. Only those who are more cruel than wolves can survive in this land."
After a long time, Chen Wenjing recovered, patted her head and smiled helplessly, "Look at me, once she complained, she forgot the important matter. I have to disturb my brother this night, and there is indeed something important to discuss."
After a pause, Chen Wenjing continued: "You have also seen the "trade" matter General Li. Tubo clearly stipulates that no tribe on the snowy plateau shall be 'trade' with the Tang people'. However, if we are cautious,
The huge profits are immeasurable. If this market is successful, both sides will make a lot of profits. The Tang army can attract the Tubo "yamen runners" to rush back to Jiuqu with big sticks and busy dispersing the market; we Najib
The ministry can also share the "good meat" that is urgently needed and magnify its own strength. Chief Suta has a far-sighted vision and has already thought of this path for the Najibian ministry." Chen Wenjing's eyes remained close to Li Kuo when she spoke, and a trace of her eyes was revealed in her depths.
Deep light.
Li Kuo was overjoyed. The reason why the Tang army had been staying in the Najibian camp these days was to discuss this "trade". If he had the help of five thousand warriors of the White Wolf clan, he would be more sure to capture Jiuqu City.
A little bit sure!
Perhaps it was because of the assassination of Aesotak that made the patriarch Suta determined that he urgently needed a "big deal" with the Tang people to recreate the order of the Najib tribe and establish his prestige.
The boy patted his chest and smiled, "In this way, I will come to Tang Jun. Why not do such a win-win situation?"
Chen Wenjing's face flashed with a hint of suspicion, and then she was covered up by a bright smile, and she laughed: "General Li is indeed a cheerful person. The army will set off soon. General Li should have a good rest tonight."
With his hands slightly raised, Li Kuo said softly: "Thank you, Brother Wenjing. When you set off tomorrow, Li should thank you with wine."
When Chen Wenjing heard this, she laughed loudly and walked out of the felt tent.
The starry sky is long and the crescent moon is hanging upside down.
The tent lights are dim, and I look at the Prime Minister. Whose ditches should the youth reflect?
Note 1: Chunbi: refers to fine wine. It comes from Shidazu's "Happy Moving Orioles".
Note 2: The Nine-rank Zhongzheng system: The Nine-rank Zhongzheng system is also called the Nine-rank official law, which is popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. This official selection system is actually a continuation of the Han Dynasty's system of investigation and examination.
Development, or another manifestation of the system of recommendation. This new system of official selection was caused by the Ministry of Personnel during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi. This system caused a situation where aristocratic families monopolized the official positions of the court, leaving many poor families with no chance
Entering the court as an official.
ps: Liuyun checked, the year with the largest number of Jinshi admitted to the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Xianheng was in the fourth year of Xianheng. In the 18th year of Zhenyuan, Emperor Dezong of Tang issued an imperial edict saying: "From now on, the examinations will be drawn every year.
People, the Ming Dynasty cannot exceed one hundred people, and the Jinshi cannot exceed twenty people. If there is no one, there is no need to make up for this number." Now I think about it, the college entrance examination and the postgraduate entrance examination are really a blunder... We should be self-reliant and review.
