Chapter 62: Despicable Means
Shi Wei didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Why can't Shi be here?" ”
Xu Changqing said with a calm face: "This is Jixian Pavilion, only my Tang Junjie genius can discuss poetry here, how can you come in casually." ”
"Oh."
Shi Wei responded, lowered his head and deliberately pretended to be looking for something, and only after a while did he take out the jade card, shook it in front of Xu Changqing a few times, and said with a smile: "I am lucky to have become a member of Jixian Pavilion, so I will come to meet Brother Xu and other talents for a while, I am really fortunate to have it." ”
When Xu Changqing caught a glimpse of the jade plate, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and his face was pulled down with a brush.
"How could you—"
Before he could speak, he suddenly remembered the relationship between Shi Wei and Pan You, and immediately understood the reason.
Xu Changqing had no choice but to swallow back the unfinished words, and after secretly swallowing a few unpleasant breaths, he suddenly sneered: "It seems that Brother Shi is really lucky, in the court, there are very few people who can be appreciated by Lord Pan, Brother Shi, you really have some means." ”
Xu Changqing was obviously satirizing Shi Wei for relying on Pan You's relationship before he could enter this Jixian Pavilion.
When the rest of the talented people heard this, they all sneered, and seemed to be quite disdainful of this.
Shi Wei was not surprised, but said with a calm expression: "Shi is just a rural man, and he can rely on his humble work to win the appreciation of Lord Pan, so he is naturally very lucky, where is it like Brother Xu has an important minister like Lord Xu as his father, in contrast, Shi is really ashamed to come to this Jixian Pavilion." ”
Shi Wei's self-effacing words were ironic in a corner, Xu Changqing was borrowing his father's power, and when Xu Changqing heard it, his face immediately showed anger.
Xu Changqing wanted to ridicule each other, but for a while he couldn't think of any tough words, and when he was angry, he suddenly heard the eunuch outside the palace singing loudly: "Your Majesty - down - drive - to-"
The Emperor has arrived!
There was a sudden silence in the Jixian Pavilion, and all the talented people hurriedly stood on both sides, bowed and stood solemnly, and greeted them in the pavilion with respectful faces.
Shi Wei also stood aside, learning from the appearance of others, but his eyes secretly looked in the direction of the temple gate.
After a while, I saw a man in a dragon robe entering with his head held high, this person looked dignified, described Xiumei, and there was a conceit in his expression, this is the legendary Li Yu.
Behind Li Yu, in addition to a cadre of eunuch guards, he also followed Pan You and several other ministers, presumably to accompany the emperor to inspect and investigate.
As soon as the talented people saw Li Yu entering, they all said Long live our emperor, and they all went to the end.
Li Yu nodded slightly to greet them, and walked into the hall leisurely step by step.
Among the many people in the palace, they were all excited to see the emperor at this moment, but Shi Wei was calm as usual.
Just when Li Yu passed by Shi Wei, Shi Wei suddenly felt that his calf was knocked down, and his feet were not stable, so his body leaned towards him, and he happened to hit the desk next to him.
It didn't matter if the collision came, the desk fell forward, and the inkstone on the table suddenly fell out.
Bang!
The inkstone shattered, and the ink in it splashed in all directions, staining a large piece of Li Yu's dragon robe.
In front of everyone's eyes, such a sudden change occurred, and everyone was shocked for a moment.
Pan You looked at Shi Wei in horror, never expecting him to have such an accident.
Li Yu also glared at Shi Wei, his eyebrows surging with gloom, obviously the piece of ink on the dragon robe ruined his personable image, how could this emperor not be angry.
The rest of the talents also looked at Shi Wei in unison, with surprise in their eyes, but most of them were gloating.
Shi Wei was also shocked in his heart, but when he turned his head sharply, he caught a glimpse of Xu Changqing behind him, who was looking at him with an imperceptible smirk.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Shi Wei's heart: It was this surnamed Xu who deliberately pushed me!
Before he could be angry, another old minister behind Li Yu shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to defile Your Majesty's dragon robe, come on, quickly take down this great rebel." ”
As soon as the old minister gave the order, several guards rushed forward and captured Shi Wei without saying anything.
"Lord Xu, slow down."
Seeing this, Pan You hurriedly came to the rescue.
Hearing Pan You call the old minister "Lord Xu", Shi Wei vaguely remembered that among Li Yu's close ministers, there was an old minister named Xu Xian, who was Xu Changqing's father, and he thought it was this person.
These two fathers and sons, one pushed himself behind his back, and the other ordered the arrest, and the cooperation was really seamless.
Pan You stopped Xu Xian, stepped forward busily, and said to Li Yu with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this Shi Wei is a new talent who has entered the Jixian Pavilion, presumably it is the first time to see Your Majesty, and when I was excited, I accidentally knocked over the inkstone, stained Your Majesty's dragon robe, and asked Your Majesty to forgive his sins." ”
What I was not careful, it was obviously Xu Changqing's guy who deliberately hit me.
Shi Wei was angry in his heart, and he wanted to defend himself on the spot, but Pan You glanced at him and signaled him not to speak arrogantly.
Shi Wei thought about it, even if he argued that Xu Changqing was behind him, the person surnamed Xu would definitely not admit it, and with Xu Xian present, Li Yu would not believe what he said, but would make him mistakenly think that he was shirking responsibility.
After weighing it, Shi Wei temporarily suppressed his anger and remained silent.
"Your Majesty is a golden body, how can you be offended, even if this Shi Wei is a new talent, it is also a crime to offend Your Majesty Tianwei like this, please push him out, and take the thirty boards as a lesson."
That Xu Xian didn't give up, and even wanted to hit Shi Wei's board.
Li Yu just looked at the ink on the corner of his robe, waved his hand and said casually: "According to Xu Qing's wishes, the cane will be punished with thirty boards and expelled from Jixian Pavilion." ”
This Li Yu understated a sentence, but it was extremely cold.
Shi Wei chuckled in his heart.
It's okay to be expelled from Jixian Pavilion, anyway, I didn't plan to come, but if the thirty boards go down, it's strange that I don't get beaten half-crippled.
He looked anxiously at Pan You, trying to seek the help of the recommender.
Pan You's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly he smiled, and smiled at Li Yu: "Your Majesty, this Shi Wei angered Long Yan and should be punished." It's just that the minister thinks that this Jixian Pavilion is the holy land of my Tang literati, even if he wants to be punished, he should be punished, so as to show His Majesty's love for the virtuous. ”
"Punishment?"
Li Yu heard the word "Wen", as if out of instinct, and immediately became interested.
He looked away from the ink stain on the dragon robe, looked at Pan You with interest, and asked, "Pan Qing, tell me about it, what kind of punishment method is it." ”
Pan You pointed to Shi Wei and said: "This Shi Wei is good at lyrics, and the minister has read a few of his poems, which are very exquisite." If he can enter His Majesty's holy eye, he will be forgiven for this crime, if not, then he will have no fame and no talent, and then he will be punished with a rod, which will not damage His Majesty's reputation for seeking talent and loving talents. ”
Li Yu Xiwen, Pan You's move is exactly what he likes.
Seeing this, Xu Xian was busy objecting, but Li Yu nodded and smiled: "Pan Qing's method is very interesting, okay, then I will give him a chance to atone for his sins." ”
As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and sat on the dragon seat set up for him by the head of the temple.
Seeing this, the guards let Shi Wei go.
Pan You stepped forward and said with a straight face: "Shi Wei, Your Majesty is magnanimous and has given you a chance to forgive your sins, you have to behave well." ”
The mouth was stern, but in private, Pan You nodded slightly to him as a sign of encouragement.
Shi Wei understood, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for giving the grass people this opportunity, and the grass people will present a bad song for Your Majesty to judge." ”
Shi Wei then walked to the bookcase, and when he was about to pick up the pen, he caught a glimpse of Xu Changqing's smug sneer.
Obviously, that sneer showed that Xu Changqing didn't believe that Shi Wei had any real talent at all, not to mention that in front of the emperor who was detached in literature, your Shi Wei's punishment was a certainty, nothing more than redemption.
The corners of Shi Wei's mouth quietly twitched, and he replied with a sneer, then took a deep breath and wrote down the words:
When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past. Xiaolou had another east wind last night, and his hometown was unbearable to look back at the moonlight.
The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.
