Chapter 61: The so-called talent

(Thank you Brother Amen for the reward, there is an urgent matter in the afternoon, this chapter is a little late, forgive me.) )

This Jixian Pavilion is quite promising.

When Li Yu was the crown prince, he opened the Chongwen Pavilion, specially recruiting those skilled literati and ink writers as staff, and the outstanding people such as Pan You and Zhang Xun in the Chongwen Pavilion have now been promoted to important ministers of the dynasty.

Later, after Li Yu ascended the throne as emperor, he renamed this Chongwen Pavilion as Jixian Pavilion, and specially selected a hall in a corner of the imperial city as its location, and continued to recruit talented literati and artists.

However, any literati who can enter this Jixian Pavilion, as long as the poetry and writing are appreciated by Li Yu, they can be directly appointed to an official position without going through the imperial examination.

Therefore, this Jixian Pavilion is also known as the reserve official reserve of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and the people who can be lucky enough to enter the Jixian Pavilion will be more successful in the future, and even one step to the sky, so they are all enviously called "Denglongmen".

Pan You recommended Shi Wei to enter Jixian Pavilion, which obviously meant to carry out, how could Shi Wei not feel such kindness.

If others heard that the scholars in the hall were the scholars, and the emperor's close ministers looked up to themselves so much, it was estimated that they would have been invincible for a long time, and they would thank them on the spot, but Shi Wei was not happy.

Because he knows very well that the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be sooner or later, if he accidentally mixes up an official and a half-position, it seems to be a momentary glory, but when the war comes, the official position on his body may become the bane of trouble.

Shi Wei's thinking turned extremely fast, and he weighed the pros and cons in a blink of an eye.

At that moment, he bowed his hand and said with a faint smile: "Master Chengmeng Pan values it so much, it's just that he is only obsessed with practicing medicine in his later life, as for this poetry, it is just a hobby, and in a place like Jixian Pavilion, I am afraid that I can't climb it in my later life." ”

"The virtuous nephew is not good, you need to know that the doctor is only a doctor, but the text can be a country, and now my dynasty is in decline, it is the time to employ people, the virtuous nephew has a genius, just to serve the country, how can he only be willing to be a mere Langzhong."

This Pan You thought that Shi Wei was just humble, so he persuaded him repeatedly, and even came up with the name of "Medical Country" to tempt him.

"If you can govern the country just by being able to write poetry, then with Li Yu's literary talent, you will not be destroyed. Even the important ministers of the country like Pan You have seen it like this, and it is strange that the country is not destroyed......"

Shi Wei secretly sighed in his heart, and at the moment he shirked several times, but Pan You had already regarded him as a virtuous talent, and he had to be promoted, and Pan Zisu also persuaded him again and again.

Seeing that the Pan father and daughter were so enthusiastic, Shi Wei consciously refused to blindly refuse, which not colded people's hearts, and made Pan You misunderstand that he thought too highly of himself and did not give him face, which was not good.

After secretly thinking about it, Shi Wei wanted to agree to Pan You, anyway, when he went to the Jixian Pavilion, he just said casually, as long as he didn't show the dew, he would be fine.

Thinking about this section, Shi Wei arched his hand and said: "Since Master Pan is so generous, how can he not know how to lift up in his later life." ”

As soon as he agreed like this, Pan You was overjoyed, stroked his shoulder and said: "Okay, very good, the old man will do this tomorrow morning, virtuous nephew, you have to behave well then, don't let down the old man's heart." ”

So Shi Wei chatted with the father and daughter of the Pan family for a while before leaving.

After returning to the medical hall, Shi Wei told his sister that he was going to Jixian Pavilion.

The name of Jixian Pavilion, even a woman in a remote place like Fan Peilan knew it, and when she heard Shi Wei's words, Fan Peilan was naturally so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Madam, what is the place of Jixian Pavilion?" Seeing that Fan Peilan was so excited, Lilac asked with a blank face.

Fan Peilan took Lilac's hand and explained excitedly: "I heard someone say when I was Tu that there are all great talents in the Jixian Pavilion, let's go on a pilgrimage and specially select people from there to be officials, what kind of place do you say?" ”

Xiong Qingdai next to her understood the meaning, and her face suddenly swelled with joy, "Is that Yuanzhi saying that if he enters this Jixian Pavilion, he will have hope to be a big official in the future, is that true?" ”

"That's not it." Fan Peilan nodded heavily.

At this time, Lilac and the old man finally understood, and the old and weak women in the room were suddenly like magpies that had blown up their nests, chattering with joy.

Lilac said that she was going to buy wine to celebrate, Xiong Qingdai volunteered to cook, and Fan Peilan was excited to pull a few zhang of silk and make a few decent clothes for Shi Wei, so that she was worthy of entering the palace and going to a great place like Jixian Pavilion.

It was rare for this group of women to be happy, and Shi Wei was happy to indulge them to be busy.

A few days later, Shi Wei received a special talisman from Jixian Pavilion sent by Pan You.

With this jade medallion engraved with his name, it means that he is already a member of the Jixian Pavilion and has the right to enter and leave the palace.

On the day he got this talisman, Pan You also specially sent a carriage to send Shi Wei into the palace, saying that he had heard the news, and today the Holy Lord wanted to visit Jixian Pavilion in person to examine the talents of the Chinese people in the Pavilion, such a rare opportunity should not be missed.

Pan You was kind, but Shi Wei didn't shirk it, so he changed into the decent clothes that Fan Peilant made for him, and took the Pan family's carriage to the palace.

The imperial palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty is located in the northern city of Jinling, which has experienced the operation of three generations of the Li family, although it is not as grand as the Bianjing Imperial Palace of the Song Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty, but it also has a bit of Jiangnan delicacy.

However, for people like Shi Wei who have visited the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he is not as surprised and sighed as ordinary people when he enters the palace for the first time.

The only thing that made Shi Wei feel a little curious was the emperor Li Yu of the current dynasty.

The "King of the Dead Country" who has the identity of a famous lyricist, the cuckold man who has been repeatedly "lucky" by the Zhao brothers after his wife Xiao Zhou......

With Shi Wei's little historical knowledge, the entire Southern Tang Dynasty seems to be unable to find a second person who interests him, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally can't wait to see what kind of style this wonderful emperor is.

Jixian Pavilion is located in the southeast corner of the palace, when it is approaching, you will see a lot of young men along the way, or personable, or magnificent, or arrogant, I think they are all the talents of this Jixian Pavilion.

What these people have in common is that they are all gorgeously dressed, although Shi Wei is wearing the clothes made by his mother, he still looks a lot shabby compared to others.

Maybe it's because of his clothes, or because of these talents, he has also participated in the Xufu Literary Conference, and there is no shortage of people who know Shi Wei, so he has passed all the way, and many people have cast strange eyes on him.

Ascending the seven stone steps, about to cross the high gate of the Jixian Pavilion, Shi Wei suddenly heard a familiar laugh coming from the door.

It was Xu Changqing's laughter.

I didn't expect this person to be there, this is really a narrow road.

Shi Wei subconsciously stayed and walked out of half of his body to look inward, but saw that a few steps away, Xu Changqing was talking to several young talents.

"Brother Xu, when I was in your house, I don't know who the talented person who wrote the song "Yulin Bell", why have I never seen it before?" One of the talents asked.

The man was obviously referring to Shi Wei.

As soon as Shi Wei was mentioned, Xu Changqing suddenly showed disdain, and said disapprerovitically: "What a talent, it's just a little Langzhong from the countryside." ”

Another young scribe immediately wondered: "It is not easy for a country man to write such a masterpiece." ”

That Xu Changqing sneered: "What kind of talent can a little Lang learn, most of them are just listening to the words of a certain hermit and copying them to save face." ”

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, one of them immediately said: "Brother Xu is reasonable, if a countryman can write such words, then Brother Xu, and Jinling talents such as me, will have no face." ”

The rest of the talented people nodded yes one after another, and the others ridiculed Shi Wei, a countryman, as a joke.

Hearing their discussions behind their backs, Shi Wei sneered in his heart, then strode inside, walked forward in a few steps, bowed his hand slightly to Xu Changqing, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, let's meet again, it seems that you and I are really fateful." ”

When all the talented people saw that it was Shi Wei, they all showed surprise on their faces.

Xu Changqing was even more surprised, and stammered: "You...... You...... How did it come to be here? ”
