Chapter 52: The Way of Literature

If you want to ask what the real golden finger of a traveler who is familiar with human history is, it must be the knowledge of human connections, which is the hardest golden finger.

If you don't have this knowledge, you meet a person surnamed Feng in the school bookstore, and find that this person seems to be unknown in history textbooks, and most of them will be missed.

If you don't have this knowledge, you will definitely ignore it if you meet a more unknown Wang tax envoy in Hushu Pass.

Therefore, ordinary people should read more online articles that are entertaining and have interpersonal relationships, so that they can learn more about some real connections hidden behind history textbooks, and only if they cross the plane can they seize the opportunity.

In fact, even Professor Lin, who knows a little about humanities and history, really almost ignored the royal tax envoy.

Fortunately, Xing Yushi, the governor of the Eight Mansions, arrived in time and exchanged a few words with Wang Shui's passion, so that Professor Lin noticed some clues, and finally found out that Wang Shui's envoy was from the "Wang family of Shandong New Town".

This is a family that can make Professor Lin, who is desperate for fame and protection, scream wildly, and the family with the most miraculous miracles in history.

The name of the royal tax envoy is Wang Zhidu, the descendant of the Wang family in Xincheng, and there are three jinshi in his generation.

Wang Zhiyuan, the second elder of the zigzag, is currently the left servant of the household department and the governor of Taicang, and is a very hard-rooted real power faction.

And because he works in the household department, he is called Wang Situ according to the habit of officialdom, and he is the current speaker of the Wang family.

In fact, Wang Shui made Wang Zhidu and Wang Zhiyuan Wang Situ are cousins, the same grandfather, but they are not separated from each other.

Out of Wang Situ, Wang Shui envoy also has an elder brother Wang Zhiyou who works in the Ministry of Rites, who is also from a Jinshi.

In addition, the royal tax envoy also has an elder brother Wang Zhifu who was born as a person, and is currently the governor of the Daimyo Mansion.

The next generation of the Zizi generation is the Xiangzi generation, and there are currently three Jinshi, which is the "three nephew Jinshi" in the mouth of the Wang Tax Envoy.

Although Wang Xiangkun, the eldest of the elephant generation, has a lower rank than the royal tax envoy, he was admitted to the Jinshi as early as the 44th year of Jiajing, and now he is the right political envoy of Zhejiang.

But the most famous elephant generation in history is Wang Xiangqian, the son of Wang Situ, one of the biggest border town bigwigs in the late Ming Dynasty.

Later, during the reign of Tianqi Chongzhen, Wang Xiangqian, who was over 80 years old, was also pulled out to be the secretary of the military department and the governor of Jiliao.

In the late Ming Dynasty, can he be an ordinary person?

But the future Wang Inspector is now only the deputy envoy of Henan, and he has seniority in the position of the fourth grade, but he is still better than the royal tax envoy.

Another nephew, Jinshi Wang Xiangmeng, happened to be one section earlier than the royal tax envoy, Wanli eight years Jinshi, and is currently the Jiangxi Provincial Inspector of the Imperial History.

If you think that in the early stage of the Wanli Dynasty, a family of six jinshi is the pinnacle of the Xincheng Wang family, it is a big mistake.

In history, the sons and nephews of the royal tax envoys, there were a total of nine Wenjinshi and one martial artist.

There were nine Wenjinshi in a generation, which is definitely a miracle among miracles in the history of the imperial examination.

Generally speaking, one generation can produce one jinshi, or even two generations, and the entire family can be supported. There are nine jinshi in a generation, and the novel does not dare to make up like this.

Therefore, the Wang family really walked all over the place, and it was not as good as a dog to lift people. Three generations have produced thirteen jinshi, and the number of meritorious people adds up to thirty.

If you want to set up the archway, in front of the Wang's house, it is not a problem for three generations of Jinshi to raise people to set up eighteen archways.

Rumors in the late Ming Dynasty Jianghu are that the Wang family in Shandong Xincheng is equivalent to the northern rudder of the Donglin Party.

Rumor 2 in the late Ming Dynasty Jianghu said that when Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan in the Qing Dynasty, was still in the Ming Dynasty, his ** snatched a chicken from the servant of the Wang family.

Then the Wang family was unforgiving, Kong Youde was helpless, and was forced to rebel for the sake of a chicken, and embarked on the road of surrendering to the enemy and becoming the king with a different surname.

If this is the pinnacle of the Wang family, it may not be over yet. In the original history, in the early Qing Dynasty, in the Kangxi Dynasty, there was also a Wang Yuyang in the Xincheng Wang's family.

At that time, Wang Yuyang's status was similar to that of today's Wang Shizhen's old league leader, and he was also a generation of literary leaders.

Knowing the miracles of the Wang family's imperial examination, you can understand why Professor Lin, who is desperate for fame, almost went crazy.

It's like eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and asks if the little sister of the Wang family is married.

There is no other reason, that is, Lin Tailai thinks that the Wang family gene is too good, and if it is combined with himself, the offspring will be excellent!

But after Lin Tai said it, he immediately knew that he had lost his words, how could the fantasy in his heart be spoken?

So he hurriedly remedied it and said: "Xincheng Wang's family, let me be like thunder, and under the shock of my heart, I don't choose to speak!" ”

The king's capital, that is, the king's tax envoy, said unceremoniously: "Nonsense! Can a family name scare you out of your mind, or even gibberish? ”

Lin Tailai hurriedly explained: "Actually, your mansion still has some relationship with Zaixia, is your brother the prince Situ in the court?"

In the lower is the subordinate of the subordinate of Wang Situ, the subordinate of the subordinate of the subordinate, and Wang Situ is the superior of the superior.

So after hearing about the Wang family, I was shocked! ”

The Capital of Kings: "......"

Are you talking about tongue twisters?

At first glance, it sounds like nonsense, but when you think about it carefully, you can't refute it.

His elder brother Wang Zhiyuan Wang Situ is the left squire of the household department and the governor of Taicang, and the highest person in charge of the business line of money and grain collection.

The governor of Jiangnan generally has to supervise the money and grain in Jiangnan, and is the subordinate of the governor of Taicang in the business line of money and grain collection.

Further down is the general judgment of the grain management of each government, and then the county is in charge of grain, and then there is the clerk in the grain department, and then there is the temporary clerk of the grain department.

Therefore, Lin Tailai and Lin Shushou claimed that he and Wang Situ were superiors and subordinates of the money and grain business system, and there was nothing wrong with it in theory.

Seeing that the face of the royal tax envoy gradually softened, Lin Tailai secretly thought that there was a sentence in that chapter of the grain book that was right, his only real identity at present was the grain science scrivener, and the others were all false names.

Immediately, the royal tax envoy said proudly: "All the famous families in Shandong want to hire our Wang family's daughter." With the family style of our Wang family, we will not marry the prodigal children of the south! ”

Lin Tailai diverted the topic, "The prince asked how to use poetry to describe the undesirable situation in life.

In fact, I finished playing a few days ago...... Ah no, after feeling something, I wrote three poems, the second of which is quite suitable for the state of mind of the prince.

Meat-eating has never been the head of a tiger, and ten years of swords, sea and autumn. The poem was fortunate not to meet Huang Zu, and he was still embarrassed by Ma Zhou.

Since you are the only one who is difficult to use in the world, how can I really not be a marquis. It is necessary to know that when he was young, he was the first in the world. ”

After Wang Zhidu finished appreciating it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This poem of yours is really written in my heart, by the way, what about the other two?" ”

In fact, after being killed by Feng Er Ye last time, Lin Tailai realized the problem, and he was not ready to take out the song "Fifteen Southeast Prefectures of Gold Powder" easily.

But Wang Zhidu took the initiative to ask, and Professor Lin didn't need to hide it, so he wrote it all for Wang Zhidu to see.

After Wang Zhidu read it, he blamed and said, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Otherwise, I can use this group of fans to stand upstream and directly humiliate that Xing Xun in person! ”

Lin Tailai: "......"

How much resentment does this royal tax envoy have against Xing Xun?

Wang Zhidu can now finally determine that the giant man in front of him, who is bigger than himself, has real skills in poetry and literature, and he is simply an all-rounder in terms of subject matter and style.

So he also said: "My brother said last year that although my Wang family is prosperous, it is slightly lacking in literature and art, but it is not as famous as the southern scholars who are talented people.

Therefore, my brother encouraged my brothers and nephews to work literature and make a name for themselves after they succeed in their careers, so as to conform to the current trend.

Recently, the Jiangnan poetry season has also arrived, and I have written a few poems, but they are all average. Please help me Yazheng Yazheng and add some color, I appreciate it. ”

Then Wang Zhidu took out some manuscript paper, and Lin Tailai took it and read it.

Wang Zhidu asked expectantly, "How?" If you go through your Yazheng, what level can these articles be improved? ”

Professor Lin was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said in a big way: "If the prince really needs a work, I'll give you some directly, and the theme is optional!" ”

The royal tax envoy immediately said angrily: "Never like this! Is the capital of my kings a plagiarist? ”

It's one thing to ask others to help revise and improve, but it's another thing to directly take other people's poems as your own, which violates his bottom line.

Lin Tailai persuaded: "I won't say it below, and others don't know." ”

The royal tax envoy still refused: "God knows that my king's capital will never do anything that disgraces the royal family!" ”

Lin Tailai is also a little irritable, you are embarrassing my Professor Lin!

How can he change poetry, he will only be "original"! It's much easier to let him write a song now than to change it!

But Wang Zhidu was too concerned about the bottom line, and Lin Tailai couldn't resist it, so he could only harden his head and change it on the manuscript paper.

After a stick of incense, Wang Shui looked at the few poems that had been corrected, and his expression gradually became complicated.

For example, in a poem of seven rules, the fifty-six words used in his original manuscript, after Lin Tailai Yazheng, only seven or eight words were used in the original manuscript.

So the royal tax envoy was also confused, is this Yazheng, or has it been rewritten?

Forget it, no matter how much, send the work to Jingshi first!

Let the elder brother Wang Situ and Wang Licao, nephew Wang Yushi, and the little sister all be shocked by their talents.

There is also Zhejiang's eldest nephew Wang Fangbo, and Henan's second nephew Wang Vicexian, none of whom can be let go!

The little brother's little uncle's literary counterattack starts from within the family!

Later, the Wang tax envoy reciprocated to Professor Lin: "Didn't you come to Hushuguan to do things?"

I have given you three boats with a river express to assist you in your investigation. If you don't have enough men, add some soldiers. ”

"Enough is enough!" Lin Tailai hurriedly said: "I have always been convinced by virtue and reason, and I pay attention to both ability and political integrity, and I never need too many people to do things!" ”

Wang Shui said with emotion: "People can't look good, you are really a person who eats by talent." ”

Behind the customs office was the City God Temple, and after the royal tax envoy greeted him, Professor Lin and his men stayed in the City God Temple that night.

Don't ask Hushuguan a town-level area, why there is a city god temple that can only be matched at least at the county level, ask is that this place is too special.

So far, everything is going well, and Professor Lin is full of ambition. He came to Hushuguan, not only to help others, but also to have his own way of literature!

With his current status, it is rare to see famous prostitutes and other idle people, but this time there are a lot of people who take the initiative to send them to the door, especially the famous prostitutes of Qinhuaihe who are more popular than the famous prostitutes in Suzhou!

Anyone who has read the history of the late Ming Dynasty knows what Qinhuai twelve hairpins and Qinhuai Bayan, but who remembers who is on the Suzhou flower list?

So this is a rare opportunity to spread my name to Nanjing, another big cultural center, for free.

"Are you all ready?" Lin Tailai asked.

While wiping the bamboo whip, the Zhang brothers replied with a full of anger: "Ready!" ”
