In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, because the little prince was good at provoking borders, the focus of the court and the opposition was on the war. In fact, this year is also the year of the grand competition, and many historical celebrities have also appeared in the pilot test.
Xu Zhenqing, who wrote "Story of the Wind and Clouds" for Cui Xie half-work and half-study, made it to the top of the list.
He is not only the prototype of Zhou Wenbin, one of the four great talents, but also one of the first seven sons who led the ancient prose movement. Yang Tinghe, the examiner, took him out of the 3000 Juzi at a glance, and placed him in the top two. Later, when he was short of Shujishi, he ignored the fact that he was ugly and forced him to the examiner Zhang Yuanzhen.
Thinking about his appearance, and thinking about the handsome and handsome students in the middle test, Zhang Xueshi couldn't help complaining to Yang Tinghe: "Shi Zhai thought that when this sage received the presidency, there would still be Cui Hezhong to cover up for him. Are you drawing beautiful characters?"
Yang Tinghe grabbed his hand and begged for mercy: "Although Xu Zhenqing looks a little worse, he is excellent in literature, and the court's selection of talents is not a beauty contestant in the harem, and it is not that there is no one who is slightly worse..."
Anyway, Emperor Hongzhi was a famous monarch who would not judge people by appearances. There was Li Dongyang in front of the court and Jiao Fang in the back. Those who looked unsatisfactory could be a patriarch or a bachelor, and he was not bad for a concubine.
Zhang Xueshi told him that he was helpless, and no one allowed Xu Zhenqing to be dismissed during the museum selection. However, when drafting the regular list, it was difficult to put Cui Xian, Yan Song and other handsome talents at the top of the list, pushing him to the end.
Xu Zhenqing didn't know that he was almost swept away from the museum because of his appearance.
Cui Xie was also happy for him, the worry between his brows lightened slightly, he held his hand and said, "It's fortunate that you have been admitted to the ordinary. Manuscripts, now they have all been assigned errands, and they can't rush the drafts like they used to, the volumes of "The Record of Heroes and the King of Thieves" and "The Fortress of Jinyiwei" are all counting on you and Zhengming."
Xu Zhenqing's surprise when he passed the examination turned into a shock. He touched his sore wrist, and decisively followed the example of his fellow villagers and recommended a talented person to Cui Xie.
He didn't know many people in Beijing, and he even asked Cui Xie to put his hand under his hand to write the manuscript, but there were many sages selected by the museum! There are thirty sages in one division, and he is still the one at the bottom. There must be someone more suitable for writing manuscripts than him!
Editor-in-chief Cui kindly praised him for his intention, and asked him to introduce him from the center when he came back from the festival, and brought a talented person to Cui's house.
It was a genius from Jiangxi, Yan Song, who was different from his bumpy selection experience. He had already set a regular position with his second place on the second list and a good face.
As soon as Cui Xie came through, he wrote down all the important events and celebrities in the Ming Dynasty that he still remembered, and printed them on the hard drive. If you meet such a famous traitor in history, you have to circle the people, you can't give them the opportunity to leave the organization and grow into a traitor freely.
Especially the son he didn't know what year he was born—
As long as Yan Shifan landed, he would have to take over the power to discipline the child, and militarize his education from a young age. He must never be allowed to play tricks and tricks like in history, bringing disaster to the country and the people!
But at the end of March, after the new jinshi thanked their gratitude, they each had a period of vacation to return to their hometown to worship and sweep. Not long after Xu Zhenqing and the others left, the news of the victory at Hongyanchi spread to the DPRK, and in less than two months, there was another victory at Hetao.
By the time the newcomers rested and returned to the dynasty, the multi-generational battle of reconciliation had come to an end, and the Ming army's response to captives had changed from guarding the gates and rejecting thieves to taking the initiative to attack.
If the enemy is kept outside the city gate, how can the enemy be kept under the enemy city
The two ministers of the Ministry of War, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, discussed how to recover Kaiping, Daning, Xinghe and Sanwei in northern Beijing. Arrange who will settle the attached little prince and the remnants of the fire sieve.
Xu Qi must build some houses for them, allocate pastures or fields for cultivation, and send officers and soldiers to monitor them to prevent them from causing chaos.
The cabinet and the six ministries discussed several times, and decided to convert Hongyanchi New City into Hongyanwei. Sun Yingjue, the new marquis of Huaining, was temporarily stationed in Hongyanwei to supervise the construction of the city, houses, and horse farms by the Tatar prisoners, so that they would change from nomadic to settled. In terms of supervision and education, Wang Shouren, the censor of Shaanxi Province, was also in charge of it, so that the young and old in the captives would return to Wang Hua, so that they could become the common people of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind, and put out the heart of being a thief.
When all the important matters of the court were over, the new scholars returned to the court one after another. Xu Yingzhen waited for a long time in the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and finally waited for Yan Song, who had just entered Beijing.
At this time, Yan Song was still a clean and dignified young man, with no long possessions, and was worried about how to rent a house in Beijing. However, Xu Zhenqing was a well-known and famous talent in Wu Zhongfu, and he had Cui Xie's manuscript fee, and the eunuch had a lot of money. Seeing that he was looking for a house, he took the initiative to find a small house with three entrances for him, and showed him.
Yan Song was not very familiar with him, and refused to accept his benefits in vain. Xu Zhenqing then said: "Brother Yan Nian and I were both admitted to the succubus, and we will spend more time together in the future, so why should we worry about money going in and out? Not to mention that Brother Nian's poetry and prose are different from each other, and he learns ancient methods of calligraphy. Not someone who has been poor for a long time. Let me tell you the truth, there is a senior in the Hanlin who values you now."
Which senior
Could it be that he took a fancy to his appearance
But he already has a mountain wife in his family, so he can't climb higher!
Yan Song shook his head slowly, cupped his hands and said, "I know that Brother Xu has good intentions, and I asked Brother Xu to reply for me. Although Yan is poor, he has no ambition to cling to it."
He is Gao Jie, Xu Zhenqing rests every five days, and the good days of drinking and dissertation with Li Xianji, Kang Dehan, Zhu Zhishan, Tang Bohu and other talented scholars are over!
He blushed slightly and said solemnly: "Brother Yan, what kind of person do you think Xu is? If you don't cling, am I the one who clings to Shangguan? I came to you because Cui Xueshi appreciates your writing and wants to invite you to participate. By compiling "The Record of Heroes", you can also use this to improve your pen and improve your life. If you don't want to, just think that I, Xu Zhenqing, have never been here!"
He walked away with a flick of his sleeves, but Yan Song believed his good intentions, apologized repeatedly, and replied, "Brother Xu, don't blame me for being rude before, Yan is willing, and Yan also knows the word "serving the country."
His family was poor, and he was always reluctant to buy comic strips, but he also secretly saw Jin Yiwei in bookstores when he was studying. Later, there was a young Jin Yiwei, who portrayed the two national uncles who were alert and smart, and he also liked them very much.
Although he hadn't read it seriously this time, he heard that it was written by Uncle Guo, and the heroes recorded in it were not only military generals, but also exemplary civil servants such as Wang Shouren, the former champion of the division, and Yang Yiqing, the deputy capital's censor. He admired in his heart, how could he not be willing
What's more, he is also famous for Cui Xueshi for a long time, and he wants to meet this strange man who has been hiding his painting skills for many years, and he was not willing to reveal his identity until he was impeached.
Yan Song specially changed into a slightly new cyan straight body and followed Caizi Xu to Cui's house.
After entering the Cuijia library, he felt that he was just like the person who went to Taiwei Wang Yan in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", and he saw a lot of pearls and jade.
Li Mengyang, who was praised by Emperor Li Ge of Wenzong, He Jingming, who exalted the style of poetry, literature and the ancients, Kang Hai, who was praised by Emperor Hongzhi as the former champion of "changing the present and chasing the ancients" in the palace examination, Zhu Zhishan, a calligrapher, and Tang Yin, who is famous for poetry, calligraphy and painting , Wen Zhengming... Coupled with the Wu Zhong poem crown Xu Zhenqing who led him to this garden, it really made him feel that "the pearl and jade are on the side, and I feel that I am ugly".
He is an ordinary sage, and he hardly dares to say hello to these famous people.
Celebrities greeted him enthusiastically. Especially Kang Hai, who was looking forward to his resignation every day but could not be relieved, completely lost the arrogance he had when he was just admitted to the top spot. He held the hand of this younger generation who was only a second-class jinshi, and pulled him to his sofa. superior.
Yan Song was so flattered that he didn't dare to sit deeply.
But in the reading room was a soft Qian'an-like couch, and as soon as he sat down, his butt sank into the down cushion.
Xu Zhenqing took the manuscript that was assigned to him, and asked him to read it with great enthusiasm: "Look at this! This is what the uncles of the country came back from an interview in the Yellow River Bay, and it was written that the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, Bai Yu, set up an ambush to divert the Yellow River from flooding. The passage of living in the fire sieve is very realistic, and the sound of the rumbling of the Yellow River galloping horses can still be heard in my ears... At first, we wrote about the border cities and deserts for several months, how drought and water shortages, looking at this interview with water, it is happy!"
Yan Song did not dare to take it, because he was afraid that his hands were not clean, which would stain the high-end interview book with colorful paintings.
He took a deep breath and asked, "This is Cui's bookstore, but I haven't visited the master before, so it's not appropriate to come here to read Uncle Guo's manuscript?"
Li Mengyang smiled and said: "Brother Yan Xian, don't be restrained. Cui Xueshi heard that you are coming today, and specially invited the uncles and the commander Xie to come and tell you the real border scenery. I will come back later. Here is the manuscript of the hero record. , with those of us who are familiar, you can just let go and write."
Yan Song let go of his arms slightly, wiped his hands, and took the manuscript from Uncle Guo.
The writing of the uncles is really simple, not as good as those of them. But it is simple and simple. The structure and content of the article are also practiced according to the standards of college entrance examination composition.
He looked at the unadorned, and even some incomprehensible, words of the border guards in his uncle's notes, but inexplicably moved, and sighed: "Bian Jun is so simple, but he knows how to serve the country, and we have already used it in Beijing. There are many more than them, and how can you not care about serving the court..."
exactly!
Several seniors who were writing the manuscript dropped their pens and praised him for his righteousness, which can be regarded as a model of today's reading!
This manuscript is handed over to him. With his passion, he will definitely be able to write a masterpiece that will satisfy Cui Xueshi and the two national uncles!
They still have "Jinyiwei's Fortress on the Wind and Clouds", "Youth Jinyiwei's Companion to the Son" and "Daily Agricultural Classic" to write, and they haven't gone out for a long time to drink and connect poems, discuss the grand plan of the article variant, and it's time to put their hands on it. Work has been handed over.
As soon as Yan Song entered the dynasty, he felt the trust, love and meticulous care of his predecessors, and became a writer under Cui Xueshi of the Great Ming Painting Sect.
In the evening, Cui Xueshi and Gao Lin, Commander Xie, took the two uncles and junior brothers to the library to meet the new author.
Yan Song hurriedly stood up with the crowd and looked at several famous people he had seen in comics since he was a teenager. Commander Xie was indeed the same as Xie Zhenfu in the painting, but he was older and calmer, and he added some Confucian demeanor, not as sharp as in the painting; More handsome, and more sublimely convincing.
The two figures in the painting came to reality and looked even better than he had imagined. He was quite excited, and looked at the young people behind Cui and Xie, trying to find out who he was familiar with.
He reckoned that the uncles of the country were in their twenties, and it was impossible to be a teenager in the 16th or 17th year. But behind Cui Xie, there were three young officials in their twenties. Uncle, but behind them there were two handsome young men of sixteen or seventeen years old, which exactly matched his imagination of Uncle Guo.
As he saluted, he unconsciously looked at the two of them, as if he wanted to see them as uncles of the country, but Cui Xie pointed at a pair of red-clothed officials behind him who didn't look like people in the painting. Said: "These two are the uncle Shou Ningbo who wrote the manuscript of "Heroes on the Shore" with hundreds of thousands of characters and Changbo," and very naturally said to the two uncles: "This is the new author. Yan Shuchang Song, your brothers will communicate more with Yan Shuchang in the future, so that this new book can be done well."
The two national uncles smiled and saluted opposite the new author. They couldn't wait to ask people to tell them about their interview experience.
Cui Xie stopped them, and introduced Li Zhaoxian, who was in charge of reviewing the manuscript to Yan Songren. Since he used him to review "The Wind and Cloud", Editor-in-Chief Cui found that Junior Brother Li is really a good editor, strict and very aesthetically pleasing, so Even new manuscripts were handed over to him for review, and he only took care of the pictures.
Editor-in-chief Cui has completely delegated power, and Editor Li will be the supervisor of these authors in the future.
The new author in Cui Xie's mind included not only Yan Song, but also two beautiful teenagers behind him who were only 16 or 17 years old and looked as good-looking as the two Zhang Guojiu in the comics—
One is Mr. Li's youngest son, Zhaotong, and the other is Yang Ting and Yang Shen, the precious son of the boss who was just willing to let go.
But Cui Xie will not be in a hurry to use them.
Li Zhaotong's father and brother are the authors and editors of Jin Yiwei, and this young son is the only one left. Cui Xie must not force the child to work as a child laborer. On the other hand, Yang Shen wanted to be the champion. Cui Xie didn't dare to disturb his studies, and he had to raise him like Wang Shengren. When he becomes the champion, he writes the term "Billing Yangtze River dies eastward", and then circulates to future generations a good story of "Cui Zhuangyuan commented on Yang Shen: he must be the champion", maybe he will be able to get a Chinese textbook again. .
Cui Xie lost his mind a little, patted Yang Caizi's immature shoulder and said, "I also brought two talented young talents to meet you seniors today. The two are the champion and the ci master. Work hard, but don't be compared by future generations!"
Everyone smiled kindly and welcomed the two future champions and Ci Zong in. Xie Ying quietly pulled Cui Xie one step behind, Zhang Zhangren couldn't hear him, and asked him in a low voice, "Which child will be the champion and which will be the ci master?"
Cui Xie gave him a look, his eyes nimbly circled in the air for half a circle, and landed on Yang Shen, revealing a very shallow sly smile.
If Li Zhaotong grows up and has his father's literary talent, then Yang Shen will be the champion and Li Zhaotong will be the ci master; if Zhaotong's child's poetry and prose are not as good as Yang Shen's, then he will include both the champion and the ci master. His prediction was a success.
Xie Ying lowered her head slightly, hiding her smile, and replied in a low voice, "I can do your prophecy. After a hundred years, future generations will write that there is a champion and a famous official among us, believe it or not. ?"
The champion is also you, the famous minister is also you, you are in the history books, but I can have you by my side, this life is really not a loss.
