Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

The performance of Jin Ti, the envoy of Korea and others, is not at all incompatible with Lu Ci's rather long-term memory of the arrogant, domineering, aggressive and arrogant attitude of "competition" with Song officials in the Baogong TV series. Get involved.

What was displayed in front of his eyes was that one side was respectful and the other side was polite. There was no tension at all at the banquet, but a harmonious atmosphere.

Lu Ci thought that he had forgotten a lot about the history he had learned in his early years. After the incident of Bai Pi Bao Zheng, he no longer made a fuss about this discrepancy, but could accept it normally.

After all, Goryeo lived next to the powerful and vast Khitan, and it is still safe and sound, not only because of its relatively remote location, which is difficult to attract coveted national capital, but also because of its extremely knowledgeable attitude towards current affairs.

Obviously, the ruler of Koryo was not satisfied with just trying to survive, but also seeking development, so he sent people to make frequent missions to try to learn the cultures of the two countries for his own use.

Since he put himself in the attitude of a "student" who is humbly asking for advice, it is impossible for Jin Ti to treat the young Song Zhu with slight contempt, and he is extremely respectful in every move.

Seeing that they really did what the little master said last night, they didn't underestimate themselves because of their age, but Zhao Zhen, who had always acted calmly after showing the same attitude when facing his father, couldn't help but Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After drinking for three rounds, Jin Ti saw that the atmosphere at the banquet was heated, so he logically asked the twelve actors accompanying the mission to perform at the banquet.

Hearing this, he had been chatting casually with Wang Zeng who was next to him. After only two drinks, Lu Ci's demeanor showed a bit of laziness unconsciously, and he couldn't help blinking with interest. I rolled my eyes.

Could it be that you are going to fight?

Facing Jin Ti's request, Zhao Zhen readily agreed, ordering the musicians and actors of the teaching workshop to step aside first, so that the Korean actresses could come on stage.

To Lu Ci's 'disappointment', Jin Ti's intention to let the accompanying actors perform was by no means provocative, but rather humble to the extreme - except for the first two pieces of Korean folk music called 'vulgar music', The next five songs and dances, especially Song music, must have been taught by the visiting teachers who were selected by the late emperor to teach music in Koryo a few years ago.

The fact that most of the accompanying musicians who traveled a long way with the Koryo mission and were carefully selected by the lord of Koryo were Song operas made the Song officials present feel a little honored, with a straight face all the time, Also gradually added a little gentle smile.

Zhao Zhen still felt quite fresh about the performances of these actors and actresses whose costumes were quite different from those of Song people.

Just looking at it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: I don't know if it was because of his carelessness or the real thing, why did the Korean actress in the field seem to be distracted by other things?

Zhao Zhen noticed this abnormality, so he continued to pay attention calmly.

Just as he vaguely sensed, the actors worked extremely hard during their performances, but pairs of eyes with gorgeous makeup would always glance in the same direction intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as he glanced over, he was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly looked away.

It's just that after a while, I couldn't hold back, and looked at the past again... so it went round and round.

What are they looking at?

The little emperor's curiosity was inevitably aroused, and when they did this again, he needed to follow the direction of their eyes and looked together.

When he saw clearly who was the culprit who stole the hearts and minds of these Koreans, Zhao Zhen instantly turned from curiosity to comprehension.

...It turned out that he was looking at his little wife.

Zhao Zhen involuntarily straightened his chest, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Of course, he was not surprised that Lu Ci attracted the attention of the envoys: Whether it was his outstanding temperament and appearance, or the high rank represented by the very front seat, Lu Ci was like a "stand out from the crowd" conspicuous.

It was clear, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Perhaps there were a lot of guests in the main hall, and the lights were brightly lit. In addition, he was already wearing heavy winter clothes, and with the food in the cup, Lu Ci had never been a good drinker. He did not know when he was already slightly tipsy.

An intoxicating blush appeared on the flawless side cheeks like crown jade, the slender and fair neck was also dyed with a touch of pink, the eyes were moistened by the candlelight, and a strand of black hair fell smoothly to the front of the ear, jet black The contrast with the snow-white is so strong that it is thrilling.

The most eye-catching thing is that in order to dissipate the uncomfortable heat on his body, he casually tore off the neat and neat official uniform from the neckline, revealing two clean and beautiful deep collarbones, and a little eye-catching white. Texture...

Seemingly a high-ranking, pure-hearted and ascetic immortal, he casually stepped into the world of mortals, and his robes were inadvertently stained with human fireworks, which added a bit of indescribable beauty to his cold temperament.

As the person involved, Lu Ci didn't notice that many people were peeping at him with bated breath.

Although he didn't know how much he was drinking, but after realizing that his thoughts had become a little dull, he, who has always had strong self-control, immediately stopped drinking.

Pushing away the remaining half of the wine cup, he was stunned for a while before he realized that his face was getting hot.

He slowly thought for a while, then turned around, asked the waiter standing beside him gently and politely for a handkerchief soaked in cold water, and gently threw it on his face.

When the temperature dropped slightly, he squinted his eyes and sat for a while before subconsciously tidying up his appearance.

The skirt that was slightly open before was closed again.

Some people who had been keeping their eyes on him intentionally or unintentionally, now they looked away uncomfortably as if they had just woken up from a dream, and continued to exchange drinks with the neighbors.

And Wang Zeng, who was more or less aware of this, and even more aware that he was overshadowed by the people around him, couldn't help but glanced at the ignorant opponent with emotion, and sighed with complicated emotions.

Young talents are rare, and young talents with a pleasing appearance are even more unique.

Also early in the morning, Jin Ti, who was very anxious when he noticed the frequent distractions of the actors and actresses, was also amazed when he looked angrily at the 'culprit' who made them distracted.

If he only pulled out the usual Lu Cidan for him to meet, he would not be like this, but it is when people are drunk, but the most intoxicating, in the presence of senior officials who are old or ordinary. The members stand out from the crowd, and naturally they are particularly eye-catching.

After the banquet, the Korean envoys, which were full of generous rewards from the Lord Song, could not help but sit in the Tongwen Hall in a daze.

Jin Ti was holding the half-read Liu Yuanyuan's script book in his hand, and he didn't read a word for a long time, so he simply ordered: "Go and find out, who is the gentleman who was sitting at the table just now?" ?”

The Korean envoy who was also full of curiosity led the way.

Because Lu Ci's name is so famous, he asked the result before he even walked out of the Tongwen Hall, and reported the result with admiration on his face: "The gentleman's surname is Lu Noun, and his family name is Yu. Although his family background is quite poor, There is only one widowed mother, but she is extremely talented. Ten years ago, she was famous in Beijing because of her success in the three yuan, and now she is an official to imperial envoy and doctor. Can't find a second one."

"Ten years ago!" Jin Ti was taken aback, "How old is he?"

Looking at that face, he only thought it was a young gentleman who had just worn a weak crown.

Could it be that the other party just looks young, but in fact he is well maintained and has reached the age of forty?

"Twenty to five." The envoy replied with a complicated face: "Besides, they haven't married yet."

Although Lu Ci left Beijing for a few years, he was not forgotten by the people in Beijing at all: In addition to his excellent conditions, Liu Qiguang also contributed to the spread of the words, not to mention the fact that he is still unmarried. point.

In Beijing, many girls who are still waiting to get married, but because of their high vision, or because their parents are powerful and powerful, would rather be short than excessive, and insist on seeing a good son-in-law with a bright future, they always think that as long as Lu Sanyuan does not get married for a day Marry, they always have hope.

With the rise of Lu Ci's official position, there are no more people who dared to simply and rudely send servants to catch their son-in-law, but the "coveting" eyes that fell on this hot young high-ranking official never missed a moment.

"..."

Even Jin Ti couldn't help feeling extremely sorry when he heard the last sentence.

If he had known that Da Song had such a good son-in-law, he should have followed the cries of the eldest daughter and brought her along, maybe even allowing the two sides to see each other.

Even if he can't be a wife, he is willing to win over such a rare talent.

After all, Lu Ci is still unmarried, either because he has a high vision, or because he has no interest in Song Nu.

What a pity, what a pity.

Jin Ti quickly broke free from his embarrassing mood, and said back to God: "Quickly go to the major bookstores and ask, and find out what books are written by Lu Yuyu, and buy them all."

As an envoy who traveled between the two countries several times, Jin Ti knew very well about the difficulty of scientific research in the Song Dynasty.

It is conceivable that Lu Ci, who won the third prize in a row and is still at home in the officialdom, as one of the best, must be a person who is good at dancing and writing, and his poetry and songs are extremely brilliant.

Collecting the works of this legendary Song court official and bringing them to the lord will surely please the lord.

"Yes."

The subordinates left in a hurry, this time it was not until late at night that they came back panting with a large stack of books in their hands.

Jin Ti was surprised: "There are so many?"

Without waiting for his subordinates to reply, he picked up the topmost book and read a few pages carefully.

However, this thick book signed by Lu Ci has nothing to do with poems and poems. Instead, it is better to analyze how to answer policy questions word by word, and lists excellent model essays for reference in detail. Pull out the mistakes that candidates are prone to make, and emphasize how to avoid them.

Even Lu Ci, who was just trying to make the best use of things and fill his pockets at the time, did not expect that the few "Detailed Explanations of Strategies" that he compiled had been popular for a long time, and they were about to become popular in colleges and universities in the surrounding states and counties. It's one of the textbooks that will be explained in class.

Jin Ti, who had never read a serious reference book for exams, turned over several pages in a daze before she came to her senses and said, dumbfounded: "Why are these?"

No matter how good their ruler is about the culture of the Song people, it is impossible for him to continue reading such a book that teaches how to solve problems and explain texts.

After Jin Ti put down this "Detailed Explanation of Strategies and Theories", he opened the other books in the stack.

This reading immediately fascinated him.

This thin collection of poems is full of sentimental, intentional and rhyme-worthy works that are endlessly evocative, and the sadness and sadness revealed between the lines are even more touching.

Just reading and reading, Jin Ti inexplicably felt that this delicate and delicate, sentimental style of writing was somewhat indescribably familiar.

When he was confused, he couldn't interrupt his subordinates, so he said hesitatingly: "...from the hand of Lu Yuyu, there is nothing other than "Detailed Explanation of Strategies"."

In the thick pile of poetry collections, there are as many as ten volumes, none of which was written by Lu Ci, but all of them were written by Liu Qi, Zhu Shuo and others around their most beloved friend.

The author has something to say: Notes:

1. Music and dance exchange:

Since the fourth year of Song Xining (1071), Koryo envoy Jin Ti to the Song Dynasty, Song Li resumed diplomatic relations, and music exchanges became active.Emperor Wenzong of the Goryeo Dynasty "invited musicians" to the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty "edicted to go to his country and return it in a few years."Since then, the Goryeo Dynasty "invited musicians" many times, which became a practice.According to the "History of Koryo", in February of the 26th year of Wenzong of the Goryeo Dynasty (1072, the fifth year of Song Shenzong Xining), the musicians (female disciple Zhenqing) and others sent to Goryeo by the Song Dynasty had already taught "Treading on Shasha" in Kaesong. song and dance...

2. Beijing Tongwen Pavilion: a hotel for receiving and managing Lichao envoys

3. Goryeo also sent actors to perform in Song Dynasty.For example, in the winter of the fourth year of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng (1081, the 35th year of Emperor Wenzong of the Li Dynasty), Cui Siqi, the Koryo envoy, waited for Bianjing, and there were more than a dozen Koryo actresses in his mission.In the first month of the following year (1082), these more than ten Korean actresses performed wonderfully on the bustling lantern market in front of Xuande Building in Songjing.

4. Popular music:

"History of Goryeo? Lezhi" divides Goryeo music into "Tang music", "Grace music" and "Vulgar music". "Tang music" is the music introduced from China before the Goryeo Dynasty (Tang Yin is the main one. The Tang music used in the Goryeo Dynasty is mostly Song Ci, which is also Song music). The instruments are all made in China, and some are slightly different. . "Gaile" refers to the above-mentioned Song Xinle and Dasheng music. "Vulgar music" (also known as "country music") is the inherent national music of Goryeo, and its instruments and shapes are somewhat different, reflecting the characteristics of Goryeo music.
