Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 266

Jinling City, Xu Mansion.

This is a courtyard with five entrances and five exits. It is exquisite and elegant, and the scale is not small, especially in Jinling City, a capital where every inch of land is expensive. It is located only two miles away from the imperial palace. The location is special. With a courtyard of this size, it is not an ordinary squire. If the rich can do it, it must be the mansion of the rich and powerful.

This Xu's mansion is the mansion of Xu Xuan, the Tongping Zhangshi of the current dynasty, a part-time Zhongshuheren, and a Hanlin University scholar.

Speaking of Xu Xuan, this is also one of the leading writers of Jiangnan scholars. He was able to compose at the age of ten.In history books, after returning to the Song Dynasty, Xu Xuan was ordered to co-edit "Shuowen Jiezi" with Ju Zhongzheng, Ge Tuan, Wang Weigong and others in the Northern Song Dynasty, which can be described as a major contribution in the history of literature.

Since Li Yu ascended the throne, he has relied heavily on and respected brothers Xu Xuan and Xu Kai who are outstanding in literary talents. After all, in terms of literary knowledge, Li Yu once heard these great scholars give lectures in the palace when he was a prince, and admired their knowledge. knowledge.

Today in Xu's mansion, many court officials came to the banquet, all of them were invited by Xu Xuan to gather in the mansion to clean up the dust for Han Xizai's arrival.

Tongping Zhangshi, Deputy Privy Envoy Yan Xu, Academician Xu Kai of the Hanlin Academy, Minister of Rites Zhong Mo, Minister of Industry Li Deming, Minister of Housekeeping Gao Yue, Bachelor of Jixian Hall Zhong Qian, Minister of the Ministry Chen Tao, Yu Li Decheng, Shi Zhongcheng, Zhang Yi, Minister of Criminal Affairs, and others all came. It can be said that the main figures of the Sun Party, who are still alive, all came to participate in the banquet.

Most of these people had joyful expressions on their faces, and they were delighted that Han Xizai could be used again and returned to Jinling City to be an official.

After all, the three backbones of the Sun Party in the Southern Tang Dynasty were Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi, and Han Xizai. Now the first two have passed away, and only Han Xizai is alive and well respected. A well-deserved leader.

"Congratulations to Brother Han for being able to return to Beijing smoothly this time, and entrust him with reuse!"

"That's right, this time Brother Han was invited out of the mountain after being sent by the government to visit the thatched cottage three times, which shows that the government attaches great importance to it."

"With Brother Han here, today's Chao Gang can be purged again, without being overthrown by those villains of the Song Party."

These people still admire Han Xizai's ability and skills in being an official. Apart from Han Xizai's knowledge, the most important thing is that he dares to speak and act, has courage and means, while the rest of the Sun Party officials, although they are not literary. He is low, but his political sense and skills are not good.

Xu Xuan is close to 50 years old, mature and stable, exuding a well-read poetry, wise and knowledgeable temperament, and asked Han Xizai: "Brother Han, I heard that you are in Runzhou City and have a good relationship with Su Chen. I don’t know if it’s true or not if it’s cited as a friend of Wangnian?”

Han Xizai stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right, Yixuan and I hit it off right away, we have a very close friendship, and I've persuaded him to join us as a trump card!"

Yushi Zhongcheng Li Decheng was a little puzzled and said: "This Mr. Su, does he really have such an amazing talent? He is proficient in poetry and articles, and also knows how to study objects, make porcelain, cure smallpox, and open the abdomen. It is really unbelievable."

During the incident, Chen Tao said with emotion: "That's right, this is simply too extensive and omnipotent. How can there be such weird talents in the world?"

Han Xizai was even happier when he heard everyone's comments like this. After all, Su Chen was discovered by him, and he was equal to his protégé. Currently, he cares more about Su Chen than his own son.

He laughed and said: "You can't help but believe it. Most of it is what I saw with my own eyes or heard with my own ears. I have sent someone to investigate and verify it carefully. It is indeed from him. It is made by him himself. Certified physical evidence Both. According to the old man, Yixuan's talent may be just the tip of the iceberg, and he still has more talents to be tapped. Our Sun Party camp, with the passing of the older generation, has gradually withered talents, and there is a shortage of young talents like this Come on top, now that Yixuan joins, he alone can outperform the combined effects of all the talents in the three lists of Chunwei Scholars, it's really rare!"

"It's just the tip of the iceberg, is there any talent that hasn't been revealed yet?"

When everyone heard the words, they exclaimed even more, their eyes were full of blazing, and they became even more curious.

Both Xu Kai and Gao Yuan had seen Su Chen's demeanor in Runzhou with their own eyes, so they nodded slightly, convinced of Han Xizai's evaluation.

The rest were dubious, but looking forward to it.

Tong Ping Zhangshi and Deputy Privy Envoy Yan Xu asked, "Since Mr. Su is such a genius, how does Brother Han plan to use it?"

Han Xizai hesitated for a moment, glanced at everyone, and felt that they were all confidantes and old friends for many years, so he stopped hiding and explained: "You can't push the seedlings to encourage growth, and use it gradually in a circular way, otherwise, it will easily encourage pride. Emotions are also easy to be attacked by others. The old man has planned to let him participate in the Qiu Wei, first pass the government test, and come to Jinling to participate in the Chun Wei in the spring. The operation of various departments, the business process of the court, etc., and then transferred to several important departments of the six departments, such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, each walked for three months to improve his vision. This is one of them. "

"In addition, during the Hanlin and Liubu training period, under the leadership of Su Chen, a Gewuyuan was built, and various commodities were created, which were sent to official kiln workshops for processing and production. Foreign trade increased financial income, and continuously earned back from overseas and countries. Copper coins, silver, and products are used to supplement the lack of treasury. After three years, the treasury is full, and we can expand our armaments to resist the invasion of the Song army. , my Tang court needs to master the salt field to make up for the shortcomings!"

"So that's it!" After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Han Xizai had such great expectations for Su Chen.

"By relying on Mr. Su's talent, he is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, and it is not difficult to be the champion."

"Well, as long as you don't digress, it shouldn't be difficult!"

Although these ministers are in Jinling City, Su Chen's collection of poems and essays and Liuhou Lun have already been read by these people, and they are all full of admiration. Such talent is rare in this world.

Han Xizai smiled slightly and said: "That's why this old man chose the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials this time. You must help him, make sure no one gets in the way, and escort Su Chen's champion!"

"By the way, Brother Han mentioned in his letter that he will invite Su Chen to Jinling in a few days to enter the palace to treat the queen?"

Han Xizai nodded and said: "That's right, one month later, when all the imperial physicians are at a loss and the officials are in the most urgent situation, let's make a bureau, advise together, and recommend Su Chen to treat the illness."

"Is he sure?" Zhang Yi, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, asked.

Han Xizai sighed and said, "Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. The old man is also worried that he won't be able to cure the queen, so I plan to let him come to Beijing later. If he can't be cured, he won't take great responsibility."
