What Shi Anxia didn't say was that Gu Boyan didn't rest in prison either. He didn't ask for anything else but pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Naturally, no one paid any attention to him at first, but ever since Gu Boyan helped the prison boss and the wardens write a written summary, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were continuously delivered to the cell.
Later, the broken-legged desk and chair that were discarded in the prison were given to Gu Boyan. From then on, Gu Boyan began his career of writing furiously in the prison cell.
Many years later, Gu Boyan came out of prison and became homeless.
Zhao Liren took this talented man in and made him his clerk. When the country was in crisis, he ran around to collect rice and food, and Gu Boyan always followed him.
Once, Queen Mother Huizheng summoned Zhao Liren.
Zhao Liren then told the story of this clerk, expressing his deep regret that such a great runner-up in the imperial examination had just passed away.
Zhao Liren appealed to Queen Dowager Huizheng, saying, "This man is well-read and talented, and is familiar with the classics and history of various countries. He is truly a rare talent. I hope the Queen Dowager will see clearly."
Later, Empress Dowager Huizheng arranged for Gu Boyan to work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. This was the only person in the history of the Northern Wing who was able to enter the government after being released from prison.
He took this path in a very circuitous way.
He had plenty of youth to devote to this country, but was dragged down by his greedy and unscrupulous family.
He, an enviable runner-up, spent most of his life to finally get on the right track.
In just three years, he edited dozens of books with unique viewpoints, becoming an important figure in the history of the Northern Wing literary world. The most famous of them is the "Yi History Dictionary".
This work became a compulsory work for the imperial examinations in Beiyi over the years.
Gu Boyan compiled all the articles he wrote in prison into a book called "Gu Shi", which included his poems, comments, lectures on classics and history, as well as his experience of growing up while being drained of blood by his family.
He also contributed a new style of writing, which was later called "Gu Ci" and was imitated by thousands of students.
Gu Boyan's health had been greatly damaged while in prison, and then the country was in crisis, leaving him with no time to recuperate.
He worked hard and was exhausted after only three years as an editor.
When he died, he burst into tears, full of regret, "If only I hadn't wasted those years! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not let myself waste my life in the care of my loved ones..."
What about relatives? He didn't finish his words. He died.
Empress Dowager Huizheng personally ordered the head of the Ministry of Rites to perform rituals and offer sacrifices, and posthumously conferred the title of "Duke of Shi" on him to commend his contributions to the country.
"Records of Mountains and Rivers of Beiyi" records this Shi Guogong as follows.
His life is a life that makes people sigh; his life is also an inspirational life.
All his youth and passion were locked in this small prison.
However, what could not be locked up was his innocent heart. He picked up his pen to compose a poem, splashing ink and writing it. Once "Gu Ci" came out, it amazed the world in just a few strokes.
He is a beacon in the hearts of thousands of students.
......
Shi Anxia collected his thoughts and asked seriously, "Mr. Gu, are you also going to follow the path of this idiot?"
Gu Boyan turned pale with fear, "No, no, no, that's too scary."
When I thought about him, with his skinny arms and legs, going to jail, I felt like a disaster had fallen from the sky.
His hands were shaking as he held the teacup. "Fortunately, the story is just a story."
But the next day, when the top three candidates in the imperial examination were awarded official positions, Emperor Mingde personally appointed Gu Boyan as a lecturer, which frightened Gu Boyan to death.
The lecturer! The lecturer beside Emperor Mingde!
He really is that Gu Ersha!
