First of all, "Looking for Lee" in front of the text is a tearful article. I read it twice and wrote two articles:
1. Reading My mind is flying. "
2. How can a chicken feather in one place in life be considered bitter?
I think friends who have the opportunity to open this book are worth reading this article to find the author first, no matter what.
Back to the text, the first chapter "Gouguo Teenager" describes the history of Su Shi's hometown Shu, Su Shi's ancestors, Su Shi's juvenile growth and the road of imperial examination.
At the beginning, through the content of Li Bai's difficulties in Shu (the connection between Li Bai and Su Shi is everywhere), it leads to the importance of natural disasters in Shu since ancient times. The mountains around Shu protect this side's safe place, and the fertile plain terrain makes Shu rich in products, and everyone has plenty of food and clothing, as if it were a paradise.
Unfortunately, the heroes competing in the Central Plains have never been stopped by this difficult Shu Road, and ten thousand people can't force it to be Jiange.
At the time of the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Bang, the emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, conquered Western Shu by "building a plank road in Ming Dynasty and occupying the best geographical position".
During the Three Kingdoms period, the reason why Shu Han won one-third of the world was because he occupied the rich western Shu.
Tang Xuanzong and Tang Xuanzong took refuge here successively.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, two regimes, Pre-Shu and Post-Shu, were established here successively. For more than 60 years, Shu has been a paradise.
However, how could the overlord of the Central Plains forget this piece of fat in Shu? There is a saying that "there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch", and Zhao and Song extended their claws to Shu. The affluence of Shu made Song Jun, an expeditionary force, linger on, constantly oppressing the people of Shu and triggering various rebellions in Shu. The final result is that the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court can only govern Shu with the strictest system.
The Su family in Meishan, Xishu, was originally from Zhao County, Hebei Province. During the Shenlong period of the Tang Dynasty, when the Su ancestors were officials in Meishan, they left a son in Meishan, which was the beginning of the Su family in Meishan and spread to the early Song Dynasty for more than 300 years.
None of the ancestors of Su V who moved to Shu was an official. By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the world was at war for years, the world was dark and chaotic, Shu was rich, and Shu people lived comfortably. Naturally, few people are willing to leave their homes and go out to be an official.
Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, the separatist regime in the buffer region was chaotic, and the warlords of the five dynasties scuffled with each other. Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin had long recognized that military talents were the greatest threat, and for the sake of political stability, they had a move of "a glass of wine to disarm and return to the field" and established a political system of scholar-officials. Song Zhenzong formulated relevant national policies to encourage people to study, and even wrote a book "Encouraging Learning", which opened the grand occasion for scholars all over the world to study and seek officials. This system has influenced the history of China for thousands of years.
The Song Dynasty optimized the imperial examination system on the basis of the Tang Dynasty. First of all, it is fairer to scholars. Second, scholars can become officials once they are promoted.
This ethos crossed the mountains and blew into the Meishan Sujia, which was not obvious when Xishu v. Su Shi's second uncle Su Xun entered the Jinshi examination at the age of 24.
At that time, Su Shi's father Su Xun was only fifteen years old. He is a teenager who doesn't like reading, but likes cockfighting and running dogs. In the present words, he is a hooligan. It was not until I was twenty-five years old that I realized that it was too late to study.
Su Xun took the provincial exam for the first time, but fell behind. When I went home and looked through the articles I had written before, I found nothing, so I burned the manuscript and sealed the inkstone. After studying hard for six years, I finally achieved something and was known as one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties.
In these years, Su Xun studied poetry hard. At the age of 28, he gave birth to his second son Su Shi, and at the age of 3/kloc-0, he gave birth to his youngest son Su Zhe (the eldest son died young).
Su Shi and Su Zhe were gifted since childhood, and Su Shi was able to write articles when he was ten years old.
The years when Su Shi studied in Shu were probably the happiest time in his life. Besides being loved by teachers, he is also very active and playful. He often takes his brother to play with mud and sand, climb trees and dig nests. ...
When Su Shi was twenty-two years old, his father took his two brothers to Beijing to catch the exam, but none of them got in. At the same time, Su Shi won the second place, and Su Xun's regret was finally made up by his two sons.
After passing the first pass of the civil service examination, it is the provincial examination. According to legend, Ouyang Xiu was the examiner at that time. When he was marking papers, he mistakenly thought that Su Shi's papers belonged to his favorite pupil, Ceng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he was given the second place.
In the final trial, Su Shi won the second place as the second place, and Su Zhe also won the Jinshi.
In this exam, Su Shi's article was greatly appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, a literary tycoon at that time. Ouyang Xiu sighed:
At this time, Su Xun's articles were appreciated by many people in the DPRK, so many officials recommended officials for him. At that time, the three people had unlimited scenery.
Then came the bad news that Su Shi's mother died. Father and son left Beijing in a hurry and went back to Shu to attend the funeral.
According to the old ceremony, Su Shi and Su Zhe need to stay at home for three years. Three years later, Su Xun decided to leave Shu for Beijing.
As extraordinary talents, the Su brothers also need to take the system examination presided over by the emperor himself, which is commonly known as the six-subject examination. In the end, three of the four people were admitted, among which the Su brothers were impressively listed, and Su Shi ranked first.
Emperor Injong also said to the queen:
It can be seen that Renzong values the Su family.
After the establishment of the department, Su Shi was appointed as the judge of Dali, and Su Zhe was the secretary of the provincial school.
As a result, the names of the Su's three people shook the capital and spread all over the place, and the scenery was infinite!
The content of the first chapter ends here, and the content behind it is Su Shi's deeds after he became an official. I will read slowly.
