King Luo Bin was sitting opposite Wu Mei and Di Renjie.
King Luo Bin is fourteen or fifteen years old this year, about the same age as Li Yuanying, but his face is much calmer and his eyes are a little withdrawn. The reason why he was noticed by Wu Mei and the others was not because he showed off his literary talents and claimed that he could write poems at the age of seven, but because his acquaintances chased him and ridiculed him, reading his writing "goose goose goose", mocking him and saying "no Can you write poetry at the age of seven? Why are you so down and out?"
King Luo Bin's father was a small official in Qingzhou, and he went to the post with his father. Later, his father died of illness and he was unaccompanied. However, when he was young, he was a typical "child from other people's family", and he didn't know how to keep a low profile, so many people hated him.
No, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the academy, before he entered, someone surrounded him and taunted him. Fortunately, although these people intended to embarrass him, they unexpectedly helped him a lot, allowing him to come into the sight of Wu Mei and the others.
King Luo Bin had inquired about what Li Yuanying had done after he came to Tengzhou. Although Li Yuanying seemed to be a man who liked extravagance and extravagance, he had never done anything excessive. On the contrary, the lives of many people in Tengzhou are getting better one after another, and some people even go to neighboring counties and counties to invite relatives and friends to work, and it is said that the pay is quite high!
King Luo Bin also came to try his luck. It is said that someone of his age who can read and write can find a job in the academy. If he could get the fancy of a few bachelors, he could still study with the bachelors of Hongwenguan, which many people couldn't ask for!
Sitting in front of Wu Mei and the others, Luo Binwang was a little embarrassed.
Wu Mei saw that King Luo Bin was nervous, and asked him a few questions with Di Renjie in turn. They thought it was pretty good, so she didn't feel too embarrassed, and just asked him to write an article on the development of the academy. Just have something.
After the "interview", Wu Mei and the others left room for King Luo Bin to write in the quiet room alone. When we got outside, Di Renjie first expressed his opinion: "I think this King Luo Bin is pretty good."
Lu Zhaolin said: ""Ode to the Goose" is catchy to read, I think it can be included in the professor's repertoire."
This guy Li Yuanying has always only come up with ideas, regardless of implementation, and he gave them a task a few days ago, saying that they should choose some simple and easy-to-read poems as textbooks for children receiving basic education.
Li Yuanying specifically pointed out that poems must be simple and easy to understand, not too difficult, and not blindly pursue gorgeous rhetoric, but must be easy to read and able to imagine the picture. For example, in the nineteen ancient poems, "The Altair is far away, the Han girl in the Jiaojiao River", "The birth is less than a hundred years old, and I often worry about a thousand years old", etc. He agrees with the aesthetics of Xiao Tong, the Prince Zhaoming of the Southern Dynasty, and believes that poetry textbooks can be compiled from Xiao Tong. Selected from "Anthology".
Since all those present at the time were reliable friends, he also gave a counterexample rebelliously, saying that His Majesty Li Er's poems must not be selected, and the writing is really not very good. The beams are crooked!
Li Yuanying felt uncomfortable when he thought that there might be a poetry meeting in the academy every day to write social poems that only pursue literary talent, so he directly set a basic policy for them!
Several people were discussing where King Luo Bin could be arranged, when Li Yuanying and Gao Yang came over.
Ever since he arrived in the fief, Li Yuanying was full of cheerfulness, even if he was busy every day, he didn't feel tired, and he was always full of energy.
The same goes for Gao Yang. Lu Zhaolin secretly glanced at Gao Yang, and saw that she had a happy smile on her face, and her mood brightened accordingly.
Others didn't notice Lu Zhaolin's gaze on Gao Yang, but Di Renjie did. With so many people present, Di Renjie didn't say anything on the spot, but asked Li Yuanying why he came here.
Li Yuanying said enthusiastically, "Where's 'Goose Goose'?"
Wu Mei said: "We decided to keep him here. He is writing an article inside. I want to see if he has any good ideas." It hurt King Luo Bin's face.
Hearing what Wu Mei said, Li Yuanying became even more curious about King Luo Bin. After all, there are not many people who can get the unanimous approval of Wu Mei and the others. He wandered to the quiet room and looked inside, only to see a young man with a handsome face sitting there writing a book, writing without any hesitation, and he obviously had a plan in mind.
Even though he hasn't read Luo Binwang's article yet, Li Yuanying is already very satisfied. He didn't have the consciousness of not disturbing people's writing at all, so he opened the door and walked in to do it while watching others write.
King Luo Bin was engrossed in writing at first, when he heard the movement and looked up, he saw a young man about his own age curiously looking at half of the article he had written. This young man has red lips and white teeth, and a pair of black eyes, which makes people feel disgusted.
King Luo Bin was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the pen stopped.
Li Yuanying didn't feel that he was obstructing other people's writing, and urged King Luo Bin as a matter of course: "Why don't you write? Keep writing. It's well written. I want to read on."
Only then did King Luo Bin notice Li Yuanying's clothes.
Although there were many vassal kings in the Tang Dynasty, there was only one King Teng who could dress like Li Yuanying in Tengzhou.
King Luo Bin was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Li Yuanying: "Tengzhou doesn't pay attention to these things, and it's not in Chang'an." He enthusiastically let King Luo Bin continue to create, "You have a good idea, keep writing, write well, we Take it out and discuss it together.”
King Luo Bin still had a pen in his hand, but he didn't know how to write. He is not a show off person, if Wu Mei asked him to write an article to brag about himself and recommend himself, he would definitely not be able to write a single word. But Wu Mei asked him to write his thoughts on the development of the academy, so he could write some of his own.
It's all right now, Li Yuanying just leaned in front of him and watched him write, how could he write!
Seeing that King Luo Bin didn't move, Li Yuanying taught him earnestly: "You can't do this. If someone looks at you, you can't write it. It's too bad! If someone gives you a poem in seven steps, if you can't write it, you will have your head cut off. Aren't you going to lose your life? And let me tell you, there will be examiners walking around during the imperial examinations. If you can't avoid outside interference, and you don't perform well on the spot, wouldn't you be blind for nothing? Years of hard study?"
It was the first time that King Luo Bin met Li Yuanying who was so familiar.
Li Yuanying is obviously a nobleman, born luckier than many people. His elder brother is the emperor, and his nephew is the prince. Since childhood, he has met all the famous ministers in the court, but he does not have the slightest sharpness of domineering. Just listen to him. He talked non-stop, and unconsciously, there was a wonderful sense of intimacy.
King Luo Bin said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance." He was really no longer influenced by Li Yuanying, and then wrote down his thoughts just now.
Li Yuanying was very satisfied to see Luo Binwang's support so cooperatively, and really stayed aside to watch Luo Binwang write down.
When King Luo Bin finished writing the article, Li Yuanying immediately took it away and read it over and over again. He felt that King Luo Bin was a thoughtful person with a good literary talent. He boasted: "It's well written."
At this time, other people also came in, sat on both sides under Li Yuanying's greeting, and took turns reading the articles written by King Luo Bin. Generally speaking, they only need one person to be responsible for the selection of talents, and there is no need for a joint interview, but today Luo Binwang was coaxed by others to have this temporary extra test.
Luo Binwang's article is indeed well written.
Li Yuanying came in person, and everyone tacitly waited for Li Yuanying to make a decision.
Li Yuanying said: "I have a lot of important things to do next, and I lack someone to help me write articles. Your articles are well written, why don't you take care of them?"
Although King Luo Bin was young, Li Yuanying himself was not very old, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with handing over this matter to King Luo Bin. If you really want to replace it with an old-fashioned old pedant, the articles you write must not meet his requirements!
Li Yuanying has always been considerate of the people around him, and added: "If there is nothing important at ordinary times, you can learn something else from Wang Xueshi and the others."
King Luo Bin naturally responded happily.
He originally thought that he could only do random errands, but he didn't expect Li Yuanying to give him such an important position! Is there anything more gratifying than a sudden breakthrough after years of hard work
Since his father's death, his life has gone from bad to worse, and even many of his former classmates can laugh at him. When he was the poorest, he even mingled among the gamblers in the market. Although he would not end up gambling with red eyes, he would give them some ideas and take some benefits to support himself. Those things, even he himself felt a little contemptuous in retrospect!
Li Yuanying didn't feel disdainful, he asked about King Luo Bin's past with great interest. Hearing that King Luo Bin said that he was very lucky in gambling, he suddenly became interested, and asked King Luo Bin to play games, compare everything in the past, and compete with King Luo Bin to see who had better luck.
It doesn't matter if Li Yuanying wants to play, but he also asks Wu Mei and the others to join in. The various gambling tools used in the game have not yet been delivered, and the originally quiet and elegant quiet room has become very lively, everyone is discussing different games. Fun to play.
Wang Yifang heard people say that Li Yuanying had gone to the academy, but he didn't take it seriously. Although he is a long history, he would not keep an eye on Li Yuanying every step of the way. After all, compared to Li Yuanying's notoriety as a demon king in the past, Li Yuanying's performance after arriving in Tengzhou is considered excellent, and he has no other problems except wanting to make a big noise all day long.
As a result, Li Yuanying never came back, and some people came back and reported that Li Yuanying asked people to collect gambling tools in the market!
Wang Yifang felt that something was wrong, so he went to the academy to ask, and found out that Li Yuanying had gone to the quiet room where the interview was held. He went straight to look for it, but before he got close, he heard the noise coming from inside, no different from a gambling house. After listening carefully again, Li Yuanying's triumphant voice was clearly discernible: "I told you to buy big! Just follow me and buy big! Why don't you believe me! My luck is much better than Xiao Luo's!"
Wang Yifang was burning with anger, and when he took a closer look, he saw that the quiet room was not as tidy as usual, all kinds of gambling equipment were scattered on the floor and on the table, Li Yuanying and his little partner were rolling the dice, Play very deeply.
The academy is a place for studying, but Li Yuanying took the lead in gambling here!
Wang Yifang pushed the door open and entered with an angry face.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Seeing Wang Yifang's fury, Li Yuanying immediately threw the dice cup in his hand, looking extremely obedient. He got up to meet Wang Yifang and sat down, and asked, "Wang Changshi, why are you here?"
Wang Yifang's eyes swept over Lu Zhaolin, and there was unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.
Lu Zhaolin lowered his head in shame.
Although gambling games also have their elegance, but a place like an academy is really not suitable for drinking and gambling like idlers in the market. They were all brought into the interest by Li Yuanying just now, and they didn't even think about dissuading them.
Wang Yifang patiently explained the truth to Li Yuanying, to the effect that these gambling tools are not suitable for appearing in the academy, and they all said that it works well, even those who have the right to speak in the academy gamble in the academy, how can they let the students learn well!
Li Yuanying thought it made sense, but he didn't want Wang Yifang to leave a bad impression on King Luo Bin, who had just arrived, so he started talking nonsense on the spot: "It's said that playing with things loses one's ambitions and gambling misleads people, so I asked people to find all the gambling tools that can be recruited from the market and try to play." Let’s play and see if it’s really so attractive. I didn’t expect that once you play it, it’s so addictive!” Li Yuanying began to talk eloquently, “Some of these gambling games are easy to make people addicted, so they should be banned; but There are also some that can activate the mind and are very useful. I think it can be promoted among students so that they can relax in their spare time."
He also picked up some of the gambling tools and told Wang Yifang that these things test the calculation ability, and playing more can improve the students' arithmetic level.
Wu Mei and the others felt that Li Yuanying was really good at talking nonsense.
Wang Yifang listened to Li Yuanying's eloquent classification of gambling games, all the anger in his heart dissipated, leaving only deep helplessness. He said, "Your Highness, just know what's in your heart."
Li Yuanying nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "There are countless ones." Seeing that Wang Yifang was no longer angry, he introduced King Luo Bin to Wang Yifang, and boasted to Wang Yifang that King Luo Bin could write poems at the age of seven! Li Yuanying and Wang Yifang talked about Lu Zhaolin's idea, ""Ode to the Goose" is simple and easy to remember, and the scenes described are lively and smart. We all think it is very suitable for enlightening children."
Wang Yifang also felt that this poem was written fresh and pleasant. If it was really written when he was seven years old, it would not be an exaggeration to praise a genius! He nodded in agreement, "Yes."
King Luo Bin already knew that the enlightenment Li Yuanying said was aimed at all young children in Tengzhou. He was excited and ashamed when he heard that Li Yuanying was going to compile "Ode to the Goose" into the textbook. Naturally, he was excited because his poem was recognized, but he was ashamed because several years had passed, and the only thing he could produce was "Ode to the Goose" written when he was seven years old!
King Luo Bin clenched his fists.
He must write better poems to live up to the expectations of his new friends.
Here King Luo Bin successfully joined Li Yuanying's team of friends, but Chang'an City welcomed back a monk who had returned from afar. The monk traveled through the countries of the Western Regions, learned about the customs and customs of each country, and brought back a lot of news about the Western Regions. Of course, this is not the main purpose of his travels. His main purpose is to obtain the Western Regions scriptures translated into Tang characters, in order to better understand Buddhism and promote Buddhism!
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: You may not believe it when you say it, but I think it makes sense when I say it!
Note: who is coming back! Everyone should be able to guess! Historically he should have returned months earlier, though! Tiantianchun forgot to write! Then come back a few months later! It's ok! Anyway, Old Wei was fanned alive by the little prince's butterfly wings, so what's the point of brother Yu coming back a few months late!
Maybe there are too many advertisements. When I write Qingzhou, I think of Wang Xiaoyu next door. When I write seven-step poems, I think of Cao Xiaochong next door. The brainwashing effect is really strong...
