Famous Ming Dynasty. Minister Li Dongyang has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. When he was four years old, he could write one-foot-long regular script and was good at pairing. One day, Li Dongyang's teacher wrote a couplet: "The inkstone looks toward the stone edge to see the mouth." This is a split-character couplet, splitting the word "inkstone" into "stone" and "see". Li Dongyang responded and said: "The sound of the Sheng comes from under the bamboo." The word "Sheng" was split into "bamboo" and "生", which was very neat. Another time, his father Li Chun sent a couplet to Li Dongyang: "The tiger and leopard in Guanzhong are not the tiger and leopard in Guanzhong." Li Dongyang thought for a moment and said: "None of the Qilin Pavilion is the Qilin in the pavilion." Because of his talent, Xiao Dongyang was recruited. He was regarded as a child prodigy and recommended to the then emperor Zhu Qiyu. When the emperor summoned him, because Li Dongyang was too short, he had to be helped across the threshold of the palace by the eunuch. The emperor joked: "The child prodigy has short legs." Li Dongyang responded: "The emperor has a high family." The emperor was overjoyed and asked him to write more than ten big characters such as "lin", "phoenix", "turtle" and "dragon". When Xiao Dongyang wrote the word "龙" (the traditional Chinese character is "neng", with many strokes), his wrist was weak, so he used his little boots to dip ink to mark the last stroke. The emperor was very happy to see him, sat him on his knees, and rewarded him with the precious fruits of Shanglin Garden. At that time, Li Dongyang's father had already stood up and was waiting for orders at the foot of the steps. The emperor wrote another couplet and joked: "Is it etiquette for a son to sit while his father is standing?" It means: "A son is sitting while his father is standing. Is this in line with etiquette?" Li Dongyang responded without hesitation: "Sister-in-law, uncle drowning" "Help, Quan Ye." It means: "My sister-in-law fell into the river, and my brother-in-law went to rescue her. This is an expedient measure." After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said with a smile, "This child is indeed a prodigy!" Be the prime minister."
A Guang's thoughts:
Isn't it? Bookworm, are you sure Li Dongyang was only four years old at the time? I'm going to be so ashamed! When I was this age, I didn’t even know a few words. I'm going to get a dictionary right away and learn all the words in it! I still need to learn how to get right! Bookworm, please teach me! I still have a question. Although Li Dongyang is good at calligraphy and can also read pairs, does this mean that he has the talent of a prime minister?
Bookworm’s guidance:
Haha! At that time, there were so many people in the country, and Li Dongyang was called a child prodigy. He was naturally outstanding because he had talent in that area. But Aguang, don't be discouraged. You are also a smart child, and you are diligent and studious. You will definitely become an outstanding person in the future. Your last question is a good one. In ancient China, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, scholars were selected through imperial examinations. Only those who wrote well had the opportunity to serve as court officials. Li Dongyang has been good at pairing words since he was a child. He will naturally write well in the future, and he will have the possibility of becoming a prime minister. However, it is indeed not very reliable to judge whether a person has the ability to govern a country based on the quality of his articles. Fortunately, Li Dongyang was an all-rounder. He was not only good at poetry and prose, but also had the ability to govern the country. He was also perseverant and perseverant. Later, he played an important role in eradicating the authoritarian eunuch Liu Jin.

Story: Enduring humiliation and bearing the burden, killing Quan and eunuchs
During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang indeed became a cabinet scholar (the status is equivalent to the prime minister), and formed a group with the other two cabinet bachelors Liu Jian and Xie Qian. They formed the "Iron Triangle of the Cabinet" and worked together to handle major government affairs. These three people have their own characteristics. Liu Jian is good at making decisions, Xie Qian is good at eloquence, and Li Dongyang is resourceful. Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty respected them very much and called them "sir".
After Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he doted on the eunuch Liu Jin and his "Eight Tigers" and spent all their time wandering around and neglecting government affairs. Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other court officials jointly presented a petition to the young emperor, requesting that these eunuchs who had harmed the country be killed. (Anecdotal information) The young emperor also knew that the eunuchs were harming the country, but he was reluctant to kill these people who could accompany him for fun, so he proposed to drive them to Nanjing and spare their lives. After leaving the court, the ministers held a meeting to discuss. The ministers headed by Liu Jian and Xie Qian all believed that they should continue to petition the emperor to kill the eunuchs. Li Dongyang always considers issues carefully and carefully. He knows that the little emperor has a close relationship with these people and will never agree to kill them immediately.
If they were rushed to Nanjing and isolated with the young emperor for a period of time, and the courtiers could do some work, the situation might change. At the same time, the "Eight Tigers" are not monolithic, and Zhang Yong among them is more reasonable. Therefore, when discussing whether to kill the "Eight Tigers", Li Dongyang seemed a little hesitant.
As a result, a traitor appeared among these ministers. Immediately after the meeting, he reported the content of the meeting and everyone's attitude to Liu Jin. After Liu Jin learned the news, he ran to the emperor and cried, which made the emperor soften his heart and promoted Liu Jin to an official. When they went to court the next day, seeing that the situation had changed drastically, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian asked to resign. The latter two were dismissed from office at that time, leaving only Li Dongyang. This is because Li Dongyang was hesitant at the meeting, and he is a leader in the literary world and has great influence. Liu Jin thought he could win over him, so he arranged for him to be the first assistant. Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others misunderstood him, and even his disciples looked at him coldly. Li Dongyang endured the humiliation and remained calm, looking for the right opportunity to kill Liu Jin and his party.
Later, Anhua King Zhu Zhenxiu rebelled under the banner of exterminating Quan and eunuch Liu Jin. Liu Jin panicked and hurriedly asked Li Dongyang to discuss countermeasures. Li Dongyang put forward two suggestions: first, re-appoint Yang Yiqing, who had been dismissed from office, to lead troops to put down the rebellion; second, send Zhang Yong from the "Eight Tigers" to supervise the army. Liu Jin adopted his opinion. This was what Li Dongyang had planned in advance. Both Yang and Zhang were determined to kill Liu Jin. When Yang and Zhang returned victorious, Li Dongyang instructed Zhang Yong to take this opportunity to petition the emperor to kill Liu Jin. At the same time, he also mobilized six departments, six subjects, and thirteen censors to write a letter to impeach Liu Jin at the same time, accusing him of nineteen counts. strip. Forced by the situation, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty finally agreed to confiscate Liu Jin's home and execute him late. After this desperate struggle, the force of justice finally gained the upper hand, and the Ming Dynasty returned to normal track again.
A Guang’s thoughts:
I know Liu Jin! He's been in a lot of TV shows and movies and is a total badass. It turns out that Li Dongyang had a lot of credit for getting rid of him! It seems that Li Dongyang is really not simple. Not only is he more knowledgeable than others, but he also knows how to endure.
Bookworm’s Guidance:
Yes! In the days when he was misunderstood, Li Dongyang received too much scolding, suffered too many grievances, and suffered too much. His friends accused him of being wavering, and his disciples accused him of being an eunuch. He could only endure it silently, keep a low profile, move his camera, and finally completed his career with the least sacrifice.
Compared with the upright Liu Jian and Xie Qian, he actually put in more effort and made greater contributions.
Reading Notes
The bookworm said that Li Dongyang was a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty, but I have not read his poems. So I pestered the bookworm to find me one of his masterpieces - "Sending Peng Minwang". Peng Minwang was Li Dongyang's good friend and usually did not admire his poems. But when he read this poem, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He recited it dozens of times and couldn't put it down. This poem is written like this:
The mournful song of cutting to the ground has not yet ended, and the long hair still needs to be played when returning. In the autumn wind, the brown clothes are still short, and in the night rain, dreams of rivers and lakes are also cold.
Under the leaves of Konoha, it’s late, and people are in trouble. Chang'an travel food flooded the land left behind, I am ashamed of my alfalfa plate. Stories of Ancient Celebrities 3

On the bed, he woke up naturally. He got up early every day to study. With perseverance, he finally became a learned and great writer who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Stories of Ancient Celebrities 13
Wang Mian’s Night Reading at Monk Temple
Wang Mian is from Zhuji County. When he was seven or eight years old, his father asked him to herd cattle on the field. He secretly ran into the school to listen to the students reading. After listening to it, I always remember it silently. When he returned home in the evening, he forgot all about the cattle grazing. Wang Mian's father was furious and beat Wang Mian. Afterwards, he was still like this. His mother said: "This child wants to study so much, why not let him do it?" From then on, Wang Mian left home and lived in a temple. As soon as night came, he would quietly come out and sit on the lap of the Buddha statue. He held a book in his hand and read under the light of the lantern in front of the Buddha statue. The sound of the book continued until dawn. Most of the Buddha statues are made of clay, and their faces are ferocious and scary. Although Wang Mian was a child, his expression was calm, as if he had not seen anything. Anyang's Hanxing heard about it, and thought he was different, so he was collected as a student, whereupon Wang Mian learned to become a learned Confucian scholar.

Gu Yanwu never let go of his scrolls
Whenever Gu Yanwu traveled, he used horses and mules to carry books with him. When they arrived at a dangerous place, they would ask retired police officers to inquire about the details of the place they visited. Sometimes they found that the situation there was inconsistent with what they usually knew, so they would go to a market inn and open a book to check and correct it. Sometimes I just walk on the flat road and it’s not worth stopping for inspection, so I read silently on horseback the annotations and exegesis of various ancient classics; occasionally if I forget something, I go to the inn to open the book and review it carefully. .

Whenever Mr. Wang travels, he will carry books with him on two horses and three mules. When he arrived at Esai, he immediately called the old soldiers to withdraw and inquire about the twists and turns. If it was inconsistent with what he had heard on weekdays, he would send a letter to the workshop to check it out.
Or when walking in the plains and fields without paying much attention, he would silently recite the sutras and commentaries on his saddle. If he forgot something, he would write it out in the workshop and familiarize himself with it.
