01 The second year of Jingtai
At the foot of Langshan Mountain in Yibao, Pingwu, I drove in the white mist in September. When I arrived at Yanguan River, there were old ruins, and the buildings were sad but empty.
This was the most ridiculous battle in the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, the Hu people have never gained more benefits from China than this. The Hu people also claimed that they were out of luck. Kuang Chengyu gained it by accident. Is it accidental?
In the second year of Jingtai, a doctor from the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel put forward ten policies for the original version, which were highly praised by Emperor Jingtai. Looking at the ten policies for the original policy, all of them are to uphold the emperor's virtues, care for the people's livelihood, promote talents, promote the road, and suppress sycophants.
Rong Di was the strategy to stabilize the world, so Emperor Jingtai ordered Hanlin to copy the original Ten Strategies and place them on his left and right for reading at any time. This shows that Emperor Jingtai attached great importance to the original Ten Strategies.
In Le'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Yang Ding stood at the door of Yuexian Restaurant and touched the only two taels of silver he had on him, which he had saved through frugality for a month.
In the past month, Yang Ding has done all kinds of chores. He can only work hard to make a living. It's ridiculous that he, a top student in the Polytechnic Institute, has no use here. In the end, he can only sell his strength to others.
Day laborer.
As a qualified descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, Yang Ding still had the awareness of suffering, so after Yang Ding came to Ming Dynasty, he lived frugally and finally saved some money. However, a month of hard life finally broke Yang Ding's stomach.
, so today he came to the best restaurant in Le'an County.
"This guest, you are not allowed to go up to the second floor. If you want to have a meal, please go to the first floor!" The waiter at Yuexian Tower saw Yang Ding in ragged clothes and was about to go to the second floor.
As he left, he immediately came over to block the way.
Yang Ding looked at his clothes. They were a little old, but he had washed them very clean. Unexpectedly, he was still looked down upon by the store clerk.
"I just saw a guest going up to the second floor, why can't I go up?" Yang Ding frowned and said.
The waiter smiled and said: "My guest, the young man who just came up is a famous talent in our Ding'an County, and he is also a scholar. According to the rules of our Yuexian Tower, the second floor is specially set up for the talented people in our Le'an County.
All the guests on the second floor, apart from eating, talk about romantic affairs. If the guest officer goes up, wouldn’t it be---"
Yang Ding frowned slightly and asked, "How do you know, waiter, that I'm not a scholar?"
The waiter covered his mouth and smiled, looked at Yang Ding with his eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, I have seen a lot of scholars, but I have never seen anyone dressed like this.
Scholars, if you insist on saying that you are a scholar, then please ask your guest to compose a poem and listen to it!”
Yang Ding shook his head secretly and laughed. In the eyes of this waiter, as long as he can recite a few sour poems, he is a scholar? Little does he know that in the future world, only science can change society.
"Why, you can't sing, can you? So please don't embarrass me, sir. Please invite me to the bar on the first floor!" The waiter smiled vaguely and contemptuously, his eyes full of contempt.
Yang Ding suddenly picked up a wooden chopstick from the table, dipped it in the ink on the counter, raised his hand and wrote on the wall: "Sitting in the shade of Gui Ai Tong and raising a cup, Chang'an salivates in anticipation of the Double Ninth Festival. The road in front of him has no latitude and longitude, and the skin is
In the spring and autumn, the sky is black and yellow. If the wine can't resist the smell, chrysanthemum can be used to prevent cold accumulation and stabilize the beard. What's the benefit of leaving the cauldron today? The remaining grains and millet are fragrant in the sky above the moon."
The words "Yang Ding" were written a little irregularly, because they were written with chopsticks, so the waiter didn't take it seriously. However, after writing this poem, the waiter was frightened.
"This guest, no, this young man, what kind of poem did you write?"
Yang Ding smiled and said: "Poems about crabs, you guys run a restaurant, so it's most appropriate for me to write poems about crabs in a restaurant. Why, can't you understand this poem?"
The waiter's face turned slightly red, he really didn't understand just now.
"Boy, I wonder if I can go upstairs?"
The waiter in the shop quickly bent down and said with a smile: "Sir, please do me a favor! Sir, please do me a favor!"
After Yang Ding went upstairs, the waiter's eyes fell on the poem on the wall again.
A poem about crabs? Where are the crabs? After reading it in confusion, the waiter read it slowly and slowly, still puzzled by its meaning: "Sitting in the shade of Gui Ai and Tong Yin, raising a wine cup, Chang'an salivates in anticipation of the Double Ninth Festival. The road in front of us has no latitude and longitude, and the road in front of us has no latitude and longitude.
The sky is black and yellow in the Spring and Autumn Period. Chrysanthemum is used when the wine is not able to resist the smell, and ginger is used to prevent cold accumulation. What is the benefit of leaving the cauldron today? The moon is empty and the remaining grains are fragrant. Double Ninth Festival? Black and yellow? Use wine, use chrysanthemum, and avoid ginger.
, Hey, that’s really how to eat crabs!”
At this moment, another person walked in outside the store. This person was shorter and thinner. He was dressed as a scholar. After entering Yuexian Tower, this person saw the waiter muttering to himself and looking at the poems on the wall.
So I started reading out of curiosity.
This young man was obviously well-educated, and he understood it generally after reading it once. But then he felt that this poem had some profound meaning, so he read it again carefully.
"Staff, who wrote this poem?"
The waiter was startled unexpectedly, turned around and saw a young and handsome scholar behind him, so he deliberately played with it and said with a smile: "Master, this poem is a poem about crabs, written by a gentleman upstairs!"
"Poetry about crabs?" The young scholar shook his head and said, "Xiaoer, this is not a poem about crabs. If you still want to do good business, you'd better repaint this wall!"
The waiter in the shop was a bit unconvinced and said: "Young Master, did you read that right? This is obviously a poem about crabs. Young Master, you see, this sentence is about using chrysanthemum when the wine is not strong enough to counteract the smell of fish. It can prevent coldness and stabilize the beard. Isn't it clearly written?"
Do you know how to eat crabs?”
The young master said: "Xiao Er, look at this sentence: The road in front of you has no latitude and longitude. It is written about crabs running rampant and domineering. The black and yellow colors in the spring and autumn sky in the skin are a pun. It is a satire on the world. And the last sentence
Today, it is beneficial to drop the cauldron, and the fragrance of the remaining grains and millet in the moon is clear, which clearly shows that this crab is about to be put into the pot to be cooked. You said that this crab has been put into the pot to be cooked.
How can you be so tyrannical?"
"Ah!" The waiter suddenly realized that he had been played by that beggar-like young man.
"Xiaoer, what does the young man who wrote this poem look like?" the young scholar asked.
The waiter knew that he had just been blinded, so he quickly replied: "When this young man went to the second floor, he knew that that person was a little different from ordinary talents!"
Yang Ding came to the second floor, found an inconspicuous seat and sat down, quietly listening to a few scholars next to him talking about the current political affairs.
A scholar dressed as a student said: "Brother Feng, I wonder if you have heard that Lord Zhang Lunzhang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, presented Chen Taiping's Sixteen Policies. This is in line with the ten policies of Chen Taiping, which were discussed by Lord Chen Xian and Chen, the head of the Ministry of Personnel some time ago.
The plans coincide with each other. The current emperor is working hard on politics and appointing talents. It seems that we will be well prepared for next autumn!"
"Brother Wang, with Brother Feng here, you won't be able to get the name Jieyuan!" Another person next to him laughed and said.
As several people were talking, another person walked up from downstairs. This person was slightly short in stature, with fair skin and a delicate face. After walking upstairs, this person glanced around at several people, and finally when he saw Yang Ding
