Chapter 37: The Xie Brothers
With the ability to solve Zhenying, even if he is now delegated to the local government to do the county order, he can be competent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that this kid has been arrogant since he was a child, and he takes his father as the benchmark, so even if Zhu Yunwen once promised Xie Zhen an official, but this guy just went through the motions, and after ten days and half a month, he resigned on the pretext of lack of ability.
For this matter, Xie Zhen should have a good reputation as 'the wind of his father', and he is quite famous among Qingliu and Hanmen scholars.
It can be said that if Xie Zhen continues to develop according to this momentum, even if he does not become an official in the imperial court in the future, he will also be a literary Confucian among the people!
As for the other one, named Xie Zhen, although the two are cousins, but that one is more talented than Xie Zhenying, don't look at the fact that he is only seven years old this year, but in the land south of the Yangtze River, it is a prestigious 'poetry and literature genius'.
This little guy wrote poetry at the age of three, and at the age of five, he was able to write a chapter, and at the age of seven, he was still concerned about political affairs, and he could even write one or two articles on strategy.
The Xie brothers are the representatives of the Qingliu Han people of the Ming Dynasty, with these two people, even if there are few people in this poetry meeting, these two people can also add a lot of color to the poetry meeting.
The two came all the way along the Qinhuai River, and when they arrived in Nanjing City, the time had just passed the hour, and the poetry meeting would be held when the time came, so the two brothers simply ate something outside the city and rested for a while.
At three o'clock in the morning, that is, around eight o'clock in the morning, when the two brothers were about to enter the city, Xie Zhenying, as the elder brother, was holding back the Xie Zhen period at this moment.
"Second cousin, what are you pulling me to do?" Xie Zhen looked at Xie Zhen Ying a little strangely.
Xie Zhen should have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, if it weren't for the Adam's apple in the throat, I am afraid that he would be regarded as a woman.
He pointed to the direction of the city gate helplessly, and said, "In my opinion, let's enter the city later!" ”
"Huh?" Xie Zhenzhi followed Xie Zhenying's finger and looked over, but found that a gorgeous carriage was hurrying from a distance.
Xie Zhen Qiqi said: "They are?" ”
"It should be the Fang family's car, and a few cars following the carriage, on the surface, it looks like an ordinary big family, but I have seen the person driving it, it is from the Huang family." Xie Zhen should try his best to identify the logo on the carriage, "Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng, the two members of the Confucian and Taoist clans, actually sent people here, this time is really interesting." ”
"I'm afraid that on the south bank of the Yangtze River, all the families who can count the number have sent people, and this time His Royal Highness King Han's face is really big enough!" The tender little face of the Xie Zhen period carried a rare seriousness of a child, "Second cousin, it's just a poetry club, is that so?" ”
"How long has it been since our Ming Dynasty has been so lively? I'm afraid that even if Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, it may not be so lively. ”
Xie Zhenying explained: "And in this situation, the imperial court is too passive, and the people and even officials on the south bank of the Yangtze River feel panicked. His Royal Highness King Han held a poetry meeting at this time, if his brother did not guess wrong, he should have won the will of Long Live! His Royal Highness King Han's move is to say it lightly, which is to know etiquette and value righteousness; Speaking of the heavier ground, it means great benevolence and righteousness, for the country and the people. ”
Listening to Du Xie Zhenying's words, Xie Zhen nodded as if he didn't understand, after all, he was just a seven-year-old child, and it was still a little difficult for him to understand so many big truths.
Xie Zhenying continued: "Of course, none of this has anything to do with us. The purpose of our trip is mainly to gain a long insight, and to see if we can find you a master at the poetry meeting! ”
"I don't want a master, those old gentlemen only know everything one by one, except for my uncle, no one can teach me!" Xie Zhen's temperament is very arrogant, but he is qualified to be proud, who can dare to compare poetry and songs with Hanlin Bachelor at the age of seven?
"I can't help you!" Xie Zhenying touched the little guy's head with a smile and said, "Father has already found a master for him, but I don't know if he will participate in this poetry meeting!" ”
"Who's that?" Xie Zhen period, said: "In our entire Ming Dynasty, in addition to those old masters who have become ancients, who else can surpass the talent of the uncle?" Who, I don't want! ”
"Okay, you kid has ambition!" Xie Zhen should have been amused by the little guy's words.
……
After the twenty or so horse-drawn carriages entered the city one after another, the Xie brothers also drove into the city and went to the place where the poetry meeting was held.
Soon, the brothers arrived at the gate of Han Wang's Mansion, everything was ready in Han Wang's Mansion, and the people in charge of receiving them were some servants who could also read and write words, as for those guards, they had already been arranged by Zhu Song into the venue, put on civilian clothes, and secretly guarded.
According to Zhu Song's words, there are too many scholars, celebrities, princes and ministers at this poetry meeting, once these people have any accidents in the Han Palace, even if Zhu Song is the prince, even if Zhu Yunwen is willing to protect him, I am afraid that this official will have to be removed.
The Xie brothers walked to the door, and before they could hand over the invitation, the crowd of scholars who were originally swarming towards the gate of the palace suddenly branched out from it, and then two small figures walked out of the gate.
"Who are these two?" Xie Zhen asked Xie Zhen curiously.
Where did Xie Zhenying know who these two children were, and he had never been to Ying Tianfu.
There was a young blue-shirted scholar beside the two brothers, he glanced at the Xie brothers, and said, "I don't even know the two little sons of the Prince's Mansion, presumably the invitations of the two were obtained with the help of the elders of the clan, right?" ”
"Huh?" Xie Zhenqi heard the disdain from the mouth of the blue-shirted scholar, and couldn't help but look up at him, and said, "Isn't this invitation available when it comes?" ”
"If you come, you can give it!" The blue-shirted scholar rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think the invitation to the poetry club is cabbage?" If you want to find it, you can find it! If you don't have enough talent, you can only rely on the ability of the elders in the clan! ”
"Alright, alright, Sensei explained this to them!" Another gentleman who seemed to be with the blue-shirted scholar patted the blue-shirted gentleman on the shoulder and said, "His Royal Highness King Han has come out!" ”
As the scholar's words landed, Zhu Song, who was wearing a scholar's robe, walked out of the mansion, and was constantly smiling at the crowd gathered in front of the palace gate.
"Everyone!"
Zhu Song stood in front of the vermilion gate and said loudly: "Thank you for being able to come to Yingtianfu to participate in the poetry meeting in your busy schedule, but this king's mansion is nearly full, if you want to enter the palace, please limit the number to two." It doesn't matter if you don't enter the house today, this poetry meeting will be held for three days, and it will not be too late to enter the house two days after tomorrow! ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Song turned around and gave way to the door, waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Han is really thoughtful!"
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of people in this poetry meeting, and His Royal Highness King Han's arrangement is indeed reasonable."
"How can I see that His Royal Highness King Han is different from the situation rumored in the outside world!"
Zhu Song is really smart enough, and when he came out to show it, he actually won the favor of a group of scholars and celebrities, although he couldn't change the bad comments that everyone had about him before, at least he could add some good impressions.
"This is His Royal Highness King Han?" Looking at Zhu Song's back, Xie Zhen's little face had a strong look of curiosity, "What do I think of His Royal Highness King Han, which is different from what is rumored in the outside world?" ”
"Little kid, what do you know? Gone, in! ”
Xie Zhenying patted Xie Zhenying's little head, handed the invitation to the servant guarding the door, and grabbed Xie Zhenying and entered the palace.
……
"Under the official Tang Mirror, I have seen His Royal Highness King Han!" Zhu Song had just appeared in the middle courtyard with the two youngsters, and someone came over to salute.
Zhu Song glanced at him and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Fang, there is still some time to leave now, Lord Fang came quite early!" ”
This Fang Tang Mirror is not Fang Tang Mirror, one of the 'Four Great Masters of Guangdong' in the Qing Dynasty, he is the Doctor of the Five Classics of the Daming Guozijian Doctor Hall, and he is the official position of the Eight Classics.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Fang Tangjing is Fang Xiaoru's distant nephew, a typical Confucian conservative, don't look at the official position is not high, and has a pivotal position among Confucian conservatives.
"Hahaha, Your Highness held such a grand meeting, wouldn't it be a pity if the lower officials came late?" After saying this, Fang Tangjing pulled Zhu Song to go to the stage.
