Chapter 210 Happy Children's Day
She joined the calligraphy club at the beginning of her freshman year. Half a year later, the club president wrote a "Thousand Words Book" to express his love for her and hung it from the roof of the teaching building, covering an entire wall.
She put an "X" below and quit the club.
When they reached the crest of the tide, Zhao Huanzhen wanted to turn back. But Zhu Lian walked quietly across the bridge. He followed her.
Zhao Huan, the current editor-in-chief of Obelisk, spoke with a slight Kansai accent and rarely discussed his origins. He was a shrewd man with numerous side hustles, such as black market dealings with merchants, which had long yielded considerable profits. As the saying goes, ill-gotten gains flow like water. He was said to be a heavy drinker and to have maintained nearly ten mistresses.
They sat side by side, eating broad beans. What crime had they committed now? The man who had defiled the pillar was just an uneducated, short businessman in his thirties. Every time he was asked to draw a cartoon, he would solemnly leave a line and then walk away.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, especially women. A little dressing up can completely change their appearance, or perhaps it's because women themselves are unable to change. It's rare for a woman to become so beautiful. You look so beautiful in this dress. Disgusting. The voice was really unpleasant, and the sense of nobility disappeared in an instant.
In the past, Zhao Huan always ate and drank at their house. This was the first time that the Li family hosted a banquet for all the generals. It must be said that the Li family's banquets were unique.
Big bowls of oil-splashed noodles, braised pig's trotters, boiled lamb, stir-fried diced chicken, braised duck legs, and various stir-fried vegetables were served on the table. Niu Gao and others were all stunned.
Stir-frying was not popular in those days. From ancient times to the present, people had only boiled, steamed or roasted food directly over the fire. People of that era had never even heard of the various kinds of delicious food that were fried, stir-fried or deep-fried in later generations.
The guests were very surprised. They had never thought that food could be eaten in this way. The generals were all warriors with big appetites. As soon as the dishes were served on the table, they stuffed them into their mouths and could not stop eating.
The old dean often warned him that it is better to have no books than to believe everything in them.
Our ancestors left us countless brilliant treasures, which are worth cherishing by future generations, but not everything our ancestors left us is right.
This is especially true for medical books.
Hundreds and thousands of years ago, our ancestors had an incomplete understanding of the human body and diseases. There were huge misunderstandings in both pathology and medication, which even seemed incredible to later generations. Even those famous doctors who became famous in later generations were not immune to this.
Whether it is "Qianjin Fang" or "Ming Yi Bie Lu", or any other medical work, there are a large number of errors and omissions in them. This is inevitable. Constantly correcting errors and making continuous progress are also the only way for the development of things.
In the process of practice, some erroneous theories or methods will be gradually abandoned and corrected, but there are still some that slip through the net.
He was holding a fish that had escaped the net.
I only remember Zhao Huan saying, "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. When cooking a small fish, you must not disturb it. When governing a large country, you must not be bothered. Being bothered will tire people, and being bothered will lead to the fish being sacked."
"Irritation tires people, and disturbance kills fish..." Inside the hall, an old man pondered carefully before nodding, saying, "Although this viewpoint is novel, upon closer consideration, it makes perfect sense. It's a pity that the ancient method of cooking fish is unknown, otherwise this sentence from the Tao Te Ching wouldn't have been debated for so long."
The other old man pondered for a moment before speaking, "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. While this phrase can be interpreted as meaning that everything is indispensable and needs to be done in moderation, Zhao Huan's interpretation seems to be most consistent with Lao Tzu's 'ruling by inaction.' If his interpretation were to be put forward, it would surely attract countless approvals..."
The old man beside him bowed to the Emperor Chen and said, "Last year, when several of his policy essays sparked controversy within the court, I noticed this man. At the time, I only thought he focused on practical policy, but I never imagined he would have such profound insights into statecraft. Now it seems that he is a truly wise man with a broad mind."
"Although this boy is young, he is indeed very talented. With just one policy paper, he saved the national treasury millions of taels of silver. I didn't expect that he also has great insights into statecraft."
Zhao Li wiped Zhao Mei's mouth and asked, "Governing a country is like cooking small fish. Yuan'er, do you think this statement is correct?"
Prince Run nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I was wondering why the fish fried in the imperial kitchen always had their heads and tails cut off. It turns out they didn't understand this principle. This time they are much more delicious..."
The candidates who stayed in their original places were all standing there in a daze, and their outlook on life and world view suffered great challenges.
Leaking the test questions is one thing, but how can you make up the test questions for yourself? This is a shady deal, it’s cheating!
But even if it is a shady deal, who would dare to speak out?
Are they going to run to the government office and say that His Majesty participated in cheating in the palace examination and deliberately set questions that some people could answer, and ask the government to thoroughly investigate the matter?
Isn't this just seeking death!
Everyone was in a state of confusion, wondering what His Majesty meant. They had long heard that His Majesty was very kind to this Lingzhou Jieyuan. Half a year ago, during the provincial examination, when so many people from across the country had passed, His Majesty singled him out for a reward. And this time during the palace examination, even more so...
Does this mean that he is confirmed to be the top scorer in the imperial examination?
But there are so many officials in the world, why does His Majesty treat him so favorably? They couldn't figure it out, nor did they dare to think about it, let alone ask.
Zinnia is indeed an uncommon poison, or more precisely, the antidote to this poison has been lost.
The art of poison and witchcraft originated from the now-extinct Liang State. During the Liang State's most prosperous period, Liang State accounted for more than half of the poison techniques in the world. However, with the demise of Liang State, many poison techniques became rarely seen in the world.
What do you mean by not knowing what's so good about him? He's a man of both civil and military talents, well-read and knowledgeable, he won the first place in the imperial examination at a young age, holds the fifth rank of government, is a promising young man, is good at both housekeeping and cooking, knows medicine, knows poisons, and is also a great makeup artist. Can you find someone like him in this world?
The Imperial Guards are different from other armies. Their mission is to defend the capital and protect the royal family. Apart from daily drills, they will not leave the capital easily and will not participate in any battles. The annual competition rankings are to urge them to train strictly on weekdays. If they come last in the competition, they will not be able to hold their heads up for the next four years.
Compared with those deadly poisons that kill instantly, zinnia is not very famous.
However, because the antidote to zinnia was lost, it could poison people silently and became one of the most widely spread poisons. Just in case, Zhao Huan always carried the antidote with him.
Except that the bed in the study is a little hard and causes back pain after waking up, everything else is fine. After sleeping with someone for a long time, occasional solitude can improve one's sense of happiness.
The military system of the Imperial Guards followed the Tang system, with great improvements in details. The Imperial Guards stationed near the capital were subdivided into sixteen guards, four of which were within the capital, two were responsible for patrolling the city, and two were responsible for guarding the imperial palace. The Right Feathered Guard to which Yue Fei belonged and the Left Feathered Guard to which Niu Gao belonged were the personal troops closest to the emperor.
