Chapter 61 The so-called talent
(Thanks to Brother Amen for the reward. I have an urgent matter in the afternoon. This chapter is a little late, so I'm sorry.)
This episode of Xian Pavilion is quite famous.
When Li Yu was the crown prince, he opened the Chongwen Pavilion, which specially recruited literati and poets who were proficient in literature as staff. Pan You and Zhang Shi in the Chongwen Pavilion were outstanding, and now they have been promoted to important officials of the dynasty.
Later, when Li Yu ascended the throne and became the emperor, he renamed the Chongwen Pavilion to Jixian Pavilion, and specially selected a hall as its location in a corner of the imperial city, and continued to attract talented literati and poets.
Any literati who can enter this Xian Pavilion will be directly assigned an official position without going through the imperial examination as long as their poems and essays are appreciated by Li Yu.
Therefore, Jixian Pavilion is also known as the reserve official reserve warehouse of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Those who are lucky enough to enter Jixian Pavilion will have a career that will rise to the top in the future, or even reach the sky in one step, so they are all called "Climbing the Dragon Gate" by people enviously.
Pan You recommended Shi Wei to enter Jixian Pavilion, which obviously means to support it. How could Shi Wei not feel such good intentions?
If others had heard the great Secretariat of the Secretariat and the emperor's close ministers looked down upon him so much, they would have been unsuccessful. They accepted the head on the spot and thanked him, but Shi Wei was not happy.
Because he knew very well that the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty would be sooner or later. If he accidentally got a job, it would seem to be a glorious one, but when the war came, the official position might become the root of trouble.
Shi Wei's thinking was very fast, and he weighed the pros and cons in a blink of an eye.
He bowed and smiled faintly: "Mr. Cheng Meng Pan attaches great importance to it so much, but I am only obsessed with practicing medicine. As for this poem, I am just a leisurely hobby. I am afraid that I can't afford it in places like Jixian Pavilion."
"There is no such thing as this. You need to know that only one person can treat a doctor, but only one person can treat a country through literature. Now that our country's national power is declining, it is the time to use people. Since my nephew has a talented person and is serving the country properly, how can he be willing to be a mere doctor?"
Pan You thought Shi Wei was just being humble, so he repeatedly persuaded him and even brought up the title of "Medical Country" to lure him.
"If you can govern a country by just knowing how to write poetry, then Li Yu's literary talent would not have been destroyed. Even the important officials of a country like Pan You have such knowledge, and it would be strange if they were not destroyed..."
Shi Wei felt in his heart that he had tactfully rudely rude, but Pan You had already regarded him as a talent and had to support him. Pan Zisu also repeatedly persuaded him from the side.
Seeing that the Pan family and daughter were so enthusiastic, Shi Wei consciously refused to continue, which made the others feel cold, making Pan You misunderstood that he was too arrogant and did not give him face. This would be a bad idea.
After considering it secretly, Shi Wei wanted to agree to Pan You. Anyway, when he went to Jixian Pavilion, he would just be a gangster. As long as he didn't show any signs of dew, he would be fine.
After thinking about this section, Shi Wei bowed and said, "Since Lord Pan treats him so well, how can you not be polite to be accustomed to being a child in your later years?"
As soon as he agreed, Pan You was overjoyed and stroked his shoulders, "Okay, very good. I will do this tomorrow. Nephew, you must perform well at that time. Don't let me down."
So Shi Wei chatted with the Pan family father and daughter for a while before saying goodbye.
After returning to the clinic, Shi Wei told his master's wife and others about his going to Jixian Pavilion.
Even women like Fan Peilan knew the name of Jixian Pavilion. When Fan Peilan heard Shi Wei's words, Fan Peilan was naturally so happy that she couldn't stop talking.
"Madam, where is Jixian Pavilion?" Seeing Fan Peilan so excited, Dingxiang asked blankly.
Fan Peilan held Dingxiang's hand and explained excitedly: "When I was in Dangtu, I heard that Jixian Pavilion was full of amazing talents. We are pilgrimage, and we are specially selected to be officials from there. Where do you think that is the place?"
Xiong Qingdai next to him understood the meaning, and a happy look suddenly surged on her face, "Did Yuanzhi say that he would have hope of becoming a high-ranking official in the future after entering this Jixian Pavilion? Is that true?"
"That's not." Fan Peilan nodded heavily.
At this time, Ding Xiang and the old man Ding finally understood that the old and weak women in the room were immediately like magpies that had exploded, chattering and joyful.
Dingxiang said she wanted to buy wine to celebrate, while Xiong Qingdai volunteered to cook, while Fan Peilan was excited to pull a few feet of silk and make some decent clothes for Shi Wei, so that she could be worthy of going to the palace and going to a great place like Jixian Pavilion.
It was rare for these women to be happy, and Shi Wei was so happy that he would indulge them in their busy schedules.
A few days later, Shi Wei received a card talisman specially sent by Jixian Pavilion from someone sent by Pan You.
With this jade talisman engraved with a name, it means that he is already from Jixian Pavilion and has the power to enter and exit the palace.
On the day he got this card, Pan You specially sent a carriage to send Shi Wei into the palace, saying that he had heard the news that the emperor would visit Jixian Pavilion in person to examine the talents of Chinese people in the Pavilion. Such a rare opportunity should not be missed.
Pan You had good intentions, and Shi Wei refused to let it go, so he changed into a decent clothes that Fan Perrant made for him, and headed to the palace in the Pan family's carriage.
The imperial palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty is located in the north city of Jinling. After three generations of Li family, it is not as grand as the Bianjing Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it also has a bit of the exquisiteness of Jiangnan.
However, for someone like Shi Wei who visited the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was not as surprised and sighed as ordinary people when he entered the palace for the first time.
The only thing that made Shi Wei feel a little curious was the emperor of the dynasty Li Yu.
The "monarch of the country who was famous for his identity as a famous poet, and the cuckold man who was repeatedly "fortunate" by the Zhao brothers...
With Shi Wei's historical knowledge, the entire Southern Tang Dynasty could no longer find a second person who interested him. Since there was a chance, he naturally couldn't wait to see what this strange emperor was.
Jixian Pavilion is located in the southeast corner of the palace. As soon as you are approaching, you will see many young heroes along the way, either elegant, majestic, or arrogant. I think they are all talented people from Jixian Pavilion.
The common thing about these people is that they are all dressed gorgeously and brightly. Although Shi Wei was wearing the clothes made by his teacher’s wife, he still looked much shabby compared to others.
Perhaps it was because of his clothes, or among these talented men, some of them had participated in the Xu Mansion Cultural Conference that day, and there were many people who knew Shi Wei, so they passed by all the way, and many people looked at him with strange looks.
When he climbed the seventh-level stone steps and was about to cross the high gate of Jixian Pavilion, Shi Wei suddenly heard a familiar laugh from the door.
It was Xu Changqing's laughter.
Unexpectedly, this person is here too. This is really a narrow road for enemies.
Shi Wei subconsciously stopped and looked inward half of his body, but saw Xu Changqing talking to several young talents a few steps away.
"Brother Xu, when I was in your mansion that day, I don't know who Caijun was the one who wrote the song "Yu Linling"? Why have I never seen it before?" asked one of the Caijun.
The man obviously refers to Shi Wei.
When he mentioned Shi Wei, Xu Changqing immediately showed disdain and said disapprovingly: "What talent is just a young doctor from the countryside."
Another young scholar immediately said, "A country doctor can even write such excellent works, but this person is not simple."
Xu Changqing sneered: "What kind of talent can a little doctor have? He probably heard the words of a certain hermit and plagiarized them to save face."
After Xu Changqing said this, one of them immediately said, "Brother Xu's words are reasonable. If a country doctor can write such lyrics, then Brother Xu and our talents in Jinling are not as good as the face."
The other talents nodded and said yes, and the group of people used Shi Wei as a joke to ridicule.
Hearing their comments behind their backs, Shi Wei sneered in his heart, then strode forward a few steps, bowed slightly to Xu Changqing, and smiled, "Brother Xu, we're meeting again. It seems that you and I are really destined to be together."
When all the talented men saw it was Shi Wei, they all showed surprise on their faces.
Xu Changqing was even more surprised and stuttered: "You...you...how are you... here?"
