Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Father, what was the outcome of the court meeting?"

When Fan Chunli came back, Fan Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Fan Chunli shook his head heavily and said: "This matter has a great impact. Many officials have relatives and relatives in their families. Naturally, no one can question it. There are also many officials who need to marry each other for marriage. This is the case throughout the dynasty. Opposition.”

"Aren't they afraid of the consequences of getting married?" Fan Zheng asked puzzled.

Fan Chunli said helplessly: "Compared with the benefits brought by marriage, the negative consequences of a close relationship are nothing. Besides, men can also take concubines. There is no need to worry about the issue of finality."

"What about Empress Dowager Gao?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically. There is no harm to Empress Dowager Gao in raising the status of maternal bloodline. I believe Empress Dowager Gao will not miss it.

Fan Chunli shook his head and said: "It would be easy for such a few officials to object, but they are holding back public opinion. There are countless people in the world who are getting closer to each other. They openly oppose it on the grounds that it has been a long-standing custom and it is easier and extremely difficult." Fan Chunli sighed with emotion. road.

Everyone knew that once the marriage between close relatives was denied, the people would definitely be in an uproar, and Empress Dowager Gao did not dare to act rashly.

Fan Zheng fell silent immediately. It was obvious that the road from top to bottom was full of difficulties.

"But don't worry, getting married will cause harm for thousands of years. As a father, I will not give up easily." Fan Chunli said with a firm expression. He thought back when Fan Zhongyan implemented the Qingli New Deal, it was not easy. Now he has a blood certificate in his hand to change a household marriage. How could the law make him give up so easily?

"Father is mighty!" Fan Zheng complimented casually.

"Bianyuan, is this the poetry meeting you are talking about?"

Fan Zheng looked up at the plaque in front of him and asked.

Su Dun said proudly: "Yes, we came at the right time today. Today's Bianyuan Poetry Festival is attended by all the talents and beauties from Kaifeng City. It's just the right time for Brother Fan to relax."

Although Fan's father told Fan Zheng to stay at home honestly, Su Dun encouraged him to come to the Bianyuan Poetry Recital, where he could meet talented people and beauties, and maybe even be lucky enough to meet an oiran performing a dance. Fan Zheng did not hesitate to Putting his father's advice behind him, he followed Su Dun to Bian Garden.

"Brother! This is where talented men and beautiful women go, and we are just doctors. How can we enter the Poetry Society?" Fan Zheng frowned.

Su Dun shook his head and said: "Brother Fan is too modest. In the Song Dynasty, the dual cultivation of Confucianism and medicine was popular. The famous scholar-bureaucrats at that time were often masters of the apricot forest. Prime Minister Fan even once said that if you are not a good doctor, you are a good doctor. Besides, in this world, There is no poetry gathering that I, Su Dun, can't enter."

Fan Zheng suddenly realized that the Song Dynasty doctors and Confucianism were deeply integrated, and the status of the imperial doctor was not low. In addition, Su Dun was the youngest son of Su Shi. His father was a world-famous scholar of Su University, and his second uncle Since he was the prime minister of the dynasty, he was naturally unimpeded.

Fan Zheng didn't know that his father Fan Chunli was a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his second uncle was also the prime minister of the dynasty. In terms of status, he was almost the same as Su Dun. It was for this reason that his prescription could cause such an uproar.

Sure enough, when Su Dun reported their names, he easily entered the Bian Garden.

Bian Garden is a famous large-scale amusement park in Kaifeng City. It is built adjacent to the Bian River. It has beautiful scenery. You can enjoy the beautiful pavilions on the shore and go boating in the Bian River. It is the best place for literati and poets to gather.

Su Dun introduced: "The Bianyuan Poetry Society was a prosperous period in Kaifeng's literary world. If we make a blockbuster success at the Bianyuan Poetry Society and gain the respect of the seniors in the poetry world, we will surely rise to great heights."

Fan Zheng said in surprise: "You are the son of Su Shi, so you still value the name of your poem."

Su Dun suddenly felt like a frustrated ball and said, "Although my father is talented in poetry, my younger brother is very ashamed that he is not as talented as my father Wan Yi."

Although Su Dun had a profound family background, he had been frail and sick over the years, and poetry required talent. Although Su Dun worked hard, he still could not write a blockbuster poem.

"Having a father who dominates the literary world is not a little bit of pressure." Fan Zheng said with emotion.

Su Dun's face suddenly turned darker.

"Let's go. If you don't go there, I'm afraid you'll really be late." Su Dun urged.

The two of them entered the Bian Garden together, only to find that the Bian Garden was already bustling with people, with talented people flocking in groups, reciting poems and making poems. This was Fan Zheng's first experience of the Song Dynasty Poetry Society, and he couldn't help but find it novel.

"Why is she here too!" Su Dun suddenly exclaimed.

Fan Zheng looked around and saw a scholarly girl sitting at the head of a pavilion in the center of Bian Garden. The other talented people all sat down and bowed their heads. It was obvious that this girl was respected.

"If the Bianyuan Poetry Club is not all talented people, how can there be women sitting at the top?" Fan Zheng said in surprise.

Su Dun said bitterly: "My younger brother's position in Kaifeng's literary world is awkward. In addition to the name of my father's poems, there is another reason. The leader of today's younger generation of literary circles is a woman."

"Female poet?" Fan Zheng asked with a raised brow.

Su Dun smiled bitterly and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many female poets, but I am afraid that the only one who can be the leader of the literary world is the one in front of me, Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty."

"Li Qingzhao!" Fan Zheng's eyes flashed. He didn't expect to meet Li Qingzhao as a girl here.

"Who would have thought that in the literary world of the Song Dynasty, all the young talents, like crucian carp crossing the river, would be defeated by a woman." Su Dun sighed:

Fan Zheng looked at Su Dun with a strange look and said: "In the past, my father dominated the literary world, and later in the history, the most talented woman Li Qingzhao rose to power. Brother Su's path to the literary world is destined to be bumpy."

Su Jun's face became even more embarrassed when he heard this. What made him even more helpless was that Li Qingzhao was the daughter of Su family Li Kefei, and she was from the same family as him. In contrast, his situation was even more embarrassing.

Although Su Dun avoided Li Qingzhao like a snake or a scorpion, Li Qingzhao came from a scholarly family, was young, beautiful, and talented, so the talent he admired was naturally like a crucian carp crossing the river.

Many young talents handed their proud poems to Li Qingzhao and said humbly: "Miss Li, please comment."

"I don't know how to foreshadow, and I don't know how to use allusions!"

Li Qingzhao’s voice was clear, but his words were extremely sharp.

"Nothing to say, empty and boring!"

"A pile of rhetoric is nothing but superficial!",

"How flawed!"

Following Li Qingzhao's sharp and vicious comments, young talents who wanted to win Li Qingzhao's attention returned in disgrace.

Su Dun said with lingering fear: "You see! In the huge literary world of Kaifeng, no one can compete with her. She can't write poems, and she was ruthlessly ridiculed by her."

Fan Zhengxin nodded understandingly. In the entire Kaifeng literary world, except for the older generation, Li Qingzhao is the best among the younger generation. This is both a blessing and a tragedy for the literary world of the Song Dynasty. For the first time, the literary world has experienced a period of yin and yang decline. spectacle.

Moreover, Li Qingzhao had a very venomous tongue, and her venomous tongue was used throughout the Kaifeng literary world in later generations. From the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Four Scholars of the Su family, no one escaped her venomous tongue.

"Tsundere is also a disease!" Fan Zheng said with a knowing smile.

Li Qingzhao became famous as a young girl, with both talent and beauty. Coupled with her identity as a woman, everyone was extremely tolerant of her, and she naturally developed a habit of being arrogant.
