Chapter 137: Three Visits to the Thatched House
It is said that Master Jin, who was next to the political envoy, rushed to the Hanjiang Hall in a hurry, but he was closed. The shopkeeper told him with a sad face, saying that in the past few days, Tang Shiyan had gone to Jingjue Temple outside the city to participate in meditation because he was overwhelmed, and he would not come back in a few days.
"Daxian acts, he is really indifferent to fame and fortune, and Yun Shen doesn't know where to go. Master Jin praised instead. He was not annoyed, as if he had expected this to be the result, he rewarded the shopkeeper with some silver, and Shi Shiran went.
Tang Shiyan has caused a lot of turmoil in the high-level small circle of the provincial capital in the past few days. That article was thought-provoking, as if it contained truth, and it was of great guiding significance to the taxation of land and acres, and many people in the government had the heart to associate with Mr. Tang.
It's a pity that this Mr. Tang doesn't seem to be a fledgling young man, and if he doesn't coax two or three good words, he can make him follow him with all his heart.
Today, Master Tang avoided it, but Master Jin felt that there was a door. He returned to the yamen of the political envoy, and he didn't need to report it, he went directly into the back ya, and went to see Pan Jingwen, the provincial political envoy of Dinghu Province.
It is said that in order to balance power in the provinces, the imperial court set up three yamen, namely, the political envoy department, the inspection envoy department, and the command envoy department, and the political envoy department is ranked first, and the position is the most important.
It's just that later, in order to strengthen unified management, a governor was set up above the three divisions, and the imperial court sent someone to serve as him. However, the position of the political envoy is still important, responsible for the specific affairs of the province's money and grain civil affairs, and he is the first person under the feudal officials.
In Dinghu Province, this Pan Fantai is fifty years old, but his spirit is strong, although he has gray hair on his sideburns, it is not obvious, and his earlobes are huge, which is quite blessed. At this time, he was wearing civilian clothes, wearing reading glasses and reading an article to read, when he saw Master Jin coming in, put down the article, and asked in a deep voice, "How?"
The two have been guests and hosts for many years, and they have a tacit understanding for a long time, and they can understand each other's thoughts without much explanation. Master Jin shook his head. smiled: "I haven't seen it today, I said that I went out of the city to participate in Zen, and I don't know when I will return." ”
Pan Fantai frowned and said: "This person is arrogant, isn't there someone who has successfully recruited him before?" That in itself shows the attitude of the political envoy, it is impossible for Tang Shiyan not to understand, and there must be a reason for avoiding it.
Master Jin said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, my lord, in this Dinghu Province." Who else but adults can use him? According to the students, it is just the temper of a literati. At the beginning, Tang Shiyan slipped away from Jiangzhou, and this time he made a comeback, and he must regain some face. ”
In Master Jin's view, the political envoy is in charge of the civil affairs of a province, and Tang Shiyan is famous in terms of economy and people's livelihood, so if he wants to be useful, he still has to take refuge under Pan Fantai.
From another point of view, Tang Shiyan's attitude of being a superior person is a signal that he can be recruited. In just a few days. Regarding the details of Tang Shiyan, Master Jin has naturally found out clearly.
This person was high-spirited at the beginning, but unfortunately he came to the provincial capital to take the exam three times, but he was also rejected by the provincial capital talent circle headed by Li Xin, and then returned to the Han River.
If he said that he had no resentment in his heart, then Master Jin would not believe it in death. He felt that his grasp of the literati's thoughts was extremely accurate, and if Tang Shiyan didn't smooth out this tone, he wouldn't do things well.
"It's simple. Pan Fantai thought for a while and said: "He's just fighting for a breath of leisure, why don't you find an opportunity." The official personally visited him, which was enough to give him face.
It's just that Ye Xingyuan is a little troublesome with him. After all, the article was written by this teenager, although it is more common to see old adults, and it is not something that teenagers can speak. It must have been taught to him by Tang Shiyan. But this also shows that Tang Shiyan and Ye Xingyuan must have a great relationship."
I know that this article was written by Ye Xingyuan, but this person is young after all, and he had to have this article since he inherited the teachings of Tang Shiyan before writing. After reading the content, the vast majority of people believed that he was telling the truth.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy definitely does not have such extensive experience. Nor will they write something that expounds on specific matters and then leads to profound meanings, which is not something that genius can explain.
But Ye Xingyuan is an embarrassing figure who is disliked by the provincial officials of Dinghu Province, and the Zhou incident has just come to an end.
And the identity of the monster in Zhou Zhixian was revealed, and the yamen was eaten up and down. Fan was dismissed, the envoy was demoted and retained, and the political envoy Pan was also implicated and reprimanded by the imperial court.
Fortunately, seeing that the political opponent was demoted according to the inspection, Master Pan did not have a too bitter grudge against Ye Xingyuan, but according to the taboo of officialdom, it was impossible for him to get too close to this person.
It's just that Master Pan doesn't understand, Tang Shiyan is such a talent, who is not good to befriend, and he wants to befriend this young man?
Master Jin laughed, and persuaded again: "Adults don't have to worry about this, Ye Xingyuan's poetry is amazing, nine poems move the Han River, and he is the first in the Han River Mansion." Since Tang Shiyan was originally known as the head of the four great talents, it is normal to be good friends with him. The adults wanted to see Tang Shiyan in person, but they only avoided Ye Xingyuan, and they didn't have to pay attention to him. Anyway, in the provincial capital, who will chew the root of the tongue?"
Master Pan thought about it, if he went to the Hanjiang Hall to see Tang Shiyan in person, everyone knew that it was Corporal Lixian who was condescending to him, and no one would say that he deliberately befriended Ye Xingyuan, which was something that couldn't be beaten by eight poles.
Even if Master Pan really wanted to use Ye Xingyuan to deal with political enemies, he only needed to send someone to summon him, and he didn't need to mobilize the people at all.
So he made up his mind and said: "Since this is the case, then when Tang Shiyan comes back, the official will go to see him in person!"
Then Pan Fantai gently groped for the handwriting on the article with his fingers, and sighed: "Such a great talent, if he can't serve the imperial court and relieve the dilemma in the province, it will be a failure of my generation!"
A few days later, Master Jin heard that Tang Shiyan had returned from Jingjue Temple to participate in meditation, and hurriedly told Pan Fantai. Master Pan drove lightly, without a guard of honor, and went to the Hanjiang Hall to see Tang Shiyan.
I didn't want to pounce again, Tang Shiyan and Ye Xingyuan were not there, and even the shopkeeper went out with him, only a stunned guy was cleaning in the hall. Seeing that it was a light car, the political envoy didn't know the goods, so he only said lightly: "Tang Xianggong and Ye Xianggong made an appointment with friends and went to Yaji, maybe they will return after dinner, but if they eat and drink freely, they are afraid that there will be three watches in the middle of the night." ”
Master Jin was shocked, when he came, the other party dared to ignore it, and that was fine; now that the domain is in person, Tang Shiyan still dares to leave? This is really a great talent! If he does not have the confidence to splash the sky. Where do you dare to act like this?
He whispered to Fantai: "This person seems to have the intention to avoid, adults don't need to worry, come back next time." ”
Pan Fantai nodded, and he said to the guy with a pleasant face: "Then please tell Mr. Tang." It is said that Pan Jingwen, the senior doctor, the special reward and the political envoy of Dinghu Province, came to worship. The gentleman is not there, so I will visit you another day. ”
The guy was stunned and said, "I can't remember these names." Master Jin was angry and funny: "You said that Pan Fantai came here." ”
This guy is a rough man, and it's useless to talk to him more, Master Pan and Master Jin returned together, and only sighed all the way that Daxian was rare. Good talent is rare.
At night, Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan returned. Listening to the guy's relay, Tang Shiyan was so frightened that his head was sweating profusely, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, but Ye Xingyuan was stroking his palms and laughing, and he didn't care.
A few days later, Pan Fantai rose up and brought Master Jin to the Hanjiang Guild Hall. The man happened to be at the door that day, and when he saw them, he was overjoyed and said, "Lord Fantai, it's a coincidence today." Sir is in the guild hall!"
Pan Fantai and Master Jin looked at each other and smiled, ran a few times and finally got a result, and immediately walked in with a bunch of clothes. When he walked to the atrium of the hall, he saw a young man hurrying out, and his mouth was only frightened.
Pan Fantai was stunned, he heard that Tang Shiyan was already thirty-six or seventeen, how could he be so young? I'm afraid this is wrong, right?
But I heard the young man honestly frightened: "The adults came to the hall in person, and the student Ye Xingyuan was very frightened, only today the Tang seniors went out to visit friends, but they were so tired that the adults ran in vain." ”
Of course, this is Ye Xingyuan. When he heard that Pan Fantai was coming, he immediately sent Tang Shiyan out. Tang Shiyan was now numb, and he obeyed Ye Xingyuan's words, dragging his soft legs to the market to shop. Where is what to visit friends.
When Master Jin heard that the person in front of him was Ye Xingyuan, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, this young man's reputation is not something in the pool, but it is a pity that his identity is sensitive and it is really difficult to contact him more.
When I saw it today, it was really dignified. Worthy of being a suave character. And on the surface, there is no madness, and it seems that all kinds of rumors are not reliable.
Pan Fantai was a little unhappy, he came twice, but he didn't meet twice, and his patience was limited. What's more, Ye Xingyuan is really a thorny figure who can't be touched, so he doesn't bother to say anything, turns around and leaves, and only says: "Since Mr. Tang is not here, then the official will come back another day." ”
Ye Xingyuan watched the two of them go away, and he was a lot more sure in his heart. Judging from today's situation, as the political envoy in charge of the civil affairs of a province, although he does not have a good impression of himself, he does not have much hatred, but he is too lazy to take care of himself.
This is not a bad thing, it is better than the officialdom of the provincial capital where everyone hates themselves to the bone. Or can it be said that according to the inspection envoy, he was severely punished, and Lord Pan of the clan was not so angry, and even a little happy to see it?
When Tang Shiyan came back, Ye Xingyuan told him in a straight way, "You can see you next time you come to the domain." Before, you were rich thirteen articles, are you familiar with it?"
It was still very early for Tang Shiyan to fully understand and have experience, but rote memorization is not a difficult task. After all, he is also an old talent in his thirties, and he can't do anything else, and he always pretends to be a material with materials.
Tang Shiyan had a bitter face and hesitated: "My back is familiar, but I am facing a provincial domain, and I have no bottom in my heart." ”
Speaking of which, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he laughs at the talents of the princes, but it is inevitable that there are some abnormalities when he really sees the big guys. In fact, the key is that this is not what Tang Shiyan is good at, but something he didn't understand at all before, and he can't help but be weak-minded.
Ye Xingyuan was helpless, so he could only point out the details one by one, and asked him to follow the actions, from words to demeanor without the slightest deviation. Tang Shiyan listened incredibly, but because of his complete trust in Ye Xingyuan, he had the courage to execute.
So when Pan Fantai came again, Tang Shiyan was indeed at home, but according to Ye Xingyuan's instructions, he did not come out to greet him, but pretended to sleep over and over on the big bed in the inner room.
The heartless man accepted Ye Xingyuan's money, guarded the door, and replied to Pan Fantai: "Mr. Tang is taking a nap, you must not wake him up at this time, and please stay for a while." ”
Pan Fantai and Master Jin looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and had to choose to wait in the hall, listening to the thunderous breath on the couch in the room. Ye Xingyuan hid next door, smiling secretly. Since there is a certain adult Corporal Ken Lixian, let him earn enough fame. (To be continued.) )
