The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 117
pan mansion.

The yamen servants who came to Pan's mansion to announce the good news received a lot of rewards, so when they left, their mouths were sweeter than honey, and each mouthful of Mr. Pan made people feel very comfortable.

After the yamen servant who announced the good news left, Li Shengnan said to Pan Weiji: "My son is wise, his writing is average, and he can be a Jinshi without attracting people's fear."

Pan Weiji smiled: "To survive in the court, it's not good to show your sharpness too much, and it's not good to be too useless. Showing your sharpness will attract people's jealousy, and being useless will invite people to bully you. Only by doing this without arguing or showing off can you see your skills. "

Li Shengnan nodded after hearing this: "Young Master's words are very true."

While Li Shengnan was talking, Pan Weiji glanced at the Jinshi list, and found that Lu Mengzheng and Li Han, who had long been famous and were interested in being recruited by the King of Jin, were all Jinshi and showed a slight smile.

"Why are you laughing, son?"

Pan Weiji pointed to a few people on the list: "These are all supported by the King of Jin intentionally, and now they are all Scholars. I think the battle between King Jin and the Emperor has slowly started. As long as the two brothers fight , which is beneficial to us.”

Hearing this, Li Shengnan was slightly taken aback. She also knew about these things, but she only felt that King Jin's power in the court was a little stronger by relying on this spring test, but she didn't think that King Jin might fight with the emperor. Now Pan Weiji As soon as she said it, she immediately realized it.If King Jin had no intention of fighting for the throne, why would he need to increase his power through imperial examinations?

And the current sage is not stupid. When he understands King Jin's intentions, will he live in peace with him?
Power struggles have always been dark and require bloodshed, and family affection is small and insignificant in this regard.

"It's still the young master who sees the long-term thoroughly and in the long run, while we just need to watch from the sidelines and let them fight with each other!" Li Shengnan smiled slightly again at this point: "According to the news from our spies in the palace, then Zhang Qixian, who lived in Liuweiliu Family Winery, failed the ranking, and the reason was because Lu Duoxun said a word, and his words made the emperor think that Zhang Qixian's entry into the court would hurt the court's face."

Pan Weiji said oh, he still has a little impression of that Zhang Qixian. For some reason, when Zhang Qixian is mentioned, he will think of those scary eyes. Although Pan Weiji is old, there are not many things that are really scared. He was afraid of Zhang Qixian's eyes.

What's in Zhang Qixian's eyes?

At that time, what he saw was despair, the eyes of despair, he thought it was very familiar, where did he see it?But he really couldn't figure out where he saw it, he just felt that the look was so far away, but so close, as if he could think of it as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Lu Duoxun is from Murong Bo. He learned that Zhang Qixian is from Liu Wei, so he said that to deal with Liu Wei. For the young master, today can be said to be three blessings."

Pan Weiji smiled, the relationship between King Jin and the emperor gradually became disharmonious, Murong Bo and Liu Wei started fighting again, and he passed the Jinshi, isn't this just three blessings?

However, after Pan Weiji smiled, he said coldly: "For me, it is indeed three blessings, but the enemy has no loss. We should not be careless. Send our people to keep an eye on these people. If there is any situation, report it immediately. .”

"Don't worry, son."

Kaifeng House.

Lv Mengzheng and Li Hang came to Kaifeng Mansion to pay respects to the King of Jin. They were Jinshi, although the King of Jin did not make much effort, but it is true that the King of Jin valued them both very much. Now they are qualified to be officials. , then King Jin's support will be indispensable in the future. Although they don't know the official rules very well, they know at least.

The king of Jin was very happy that the two were able to pass the Jinshi, and he was also very pleased that Lu Mengzheng became the number one scholar, but what made him the happiest was that Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang came to see him after they passed the Jinshi.

These new scholars came to see King Jin, which means that these people may become his King Jin in their future political careers.

After everyone sat down in the Kaifeng Mansion, the King of Jin smiled and said, "I have read Lu Mengzheng's article, and it is indeed well written. He can be called a great talent for governing the country."

"The king of Jin has a great reputation, and the ministers are just talking on paper. In the future, the prince will need to support him a lot."

The King of Jin nodded, and then turned to Li Hang: "Although Li Hang is not the number one scholar, I have read your article, and you can be regarded as the best among many Jinshi. In the future, you must work harder and serve the court!"

"Please don't worry, my lord, we will do our best for the country and the people."

"well!"

After Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang paid their respects to King Jin in Kaifeng Mansion, they left one after another. After all, Kaifeng Mansion is very busy, they should not stay for a long time, and they are too close to King Jin just after entering Jinshi, which will easily arouse others' fear and doubt.

After the two of them left, Su Gian looked at him and smiled slightly: "These two people have good knowledge, if they can be used by the prince, they will definitely help the prince to achieve great things."

King Jin nodded: "Mr. Su is right, so from your point of view, what kind of position should this king seek for the two of them in the court?"

Su Tiao smiled and shook his head: "It's best for the prince not to do anything. Since they are Jinshi, the court will naturally make arrangements for them. The prince can just watch quietly."

"Why?" The King of Jin didn't understand the meaning of Su Jiao's words for a while, since he wanted to win over them, how could he not arrange positions for them in the court, what did the arrangement of the court have to do with him, King Jin?
"My lord, now that the Holy Majesty is suspicious of you, how can you get too close to these new scholars? If you ask for an official for them, the Holy Majesty will inevitably suspect that you are planning to cultivate your own power. In this way, On the contrary, it is easy to be suppressed by the Holy Majesty, and it is extremely difficult for Lu Mengzheng and others to display their ambitions for this reason. As long as the prince does not move, they will naturally have something to do in the court. Judging from their current situation, they are very dependent on the prince. "

Hearing Su's analysis, the King of Jin already understood, and said: "Mr. Su has a thorough understanding, since this is the case, I will not seek an official for them." At this point, the King of Jin suddenly frowned: "Listen! People in the palace said that there was a candidate named Zhang Qixian who wrote a good essay before the list was released, but he was removed from the list of Jinshi by the emperor?"

Su Another looked and nodded: "My subordinates have already learned about this matter from Master Song Qi and Song. That Zhang Qi Xian was very downcast when he first entered the capital. He once made trouble in front of the Tongfu Inn. This matter has always been shamed by the people of the capital. The Holy Majesty felt that it was inappropriate to recruit such a person into the imperial court, so he was removed from the Jinshi quota."

After hearing this, King Jin sighed: "When anyone is not down, the sage uses this to select officials, but he falls down."

Su Tiao looked at it and smiled: "It is really a blessing for the common people and the students of the world that the prince has such an idea, but since the Holy Majesty has already removed him from the Jinshi quota, and now he has been released on the list, no matter who it is, it will be a disaster." It's exhausting, and the prince doesn't need to worry too much, after his subordinates learned about this, they have already inquired about that Zhang Qixian, and now he is working as the accountant of the Liu family winery, so Liu Wei can't treat him badly."

"Zhang Qixian is in the Liu Family Winery?" King Jin couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that the person who was removed from the quota by his imperial brother was actually in the Liu Family Winery, and that person was in the Liu Family Winery, obviously Liu Wei's person.

King Jin was surprised, but Su Gian looked at it with a calm smile: "The person who proposed to remove Zhang Qixian from the Jinshi quota is Lu Duoxun, and Lu Duoxun is from Murong Bo, so Lu Duoxun must have come here because of the matter of Murong Bo and Liu Wei. of."

King Jin's faction is very well informed, and Su Tong is very clear about Murong Bo's disagreement with Liu Wei.

And after Su Another Kan finished speaking, the King of Jin's expression was slightly condensed: "This Lu Duoxun is really abominable. For his own benefit, he disregarded the interests of the court and lost a talent. My Great Song will not be worth the loss. This Lu Duoxun is really abominable." .”

Su Another looked and nodded: "Lu Duoxun is indeed hateful, but it is not appropriate for the prince to become enemies with him now. The power of the Xuefu Academy in the court is not weak. If the prince opposes him, it will definitely give the king of Wei an advantage."

King Jin sighed, nodded, and then said: "Since Zhang Qixian is a great talent, he can't be buried. You can find a chance to support him. Now that he is not a Jinshi, it should be no problem for me to help him, right?"

Su Another looked and smiled: "Of course there is no problem, but since that Zhang Qixian is staying at Liu's winery, Liu Weikui can't treat him, so let's just wait and see."

The King of Jin also knew that what Su Tongkan said was right, so he nodded in agreement, and then said: "Now the imperial examinations are released, and in a few days it will be the biggest spring outing season in the capital. I don't know how lively it will be, Mr. Su, Why don't we join in the fun?"

Su Another looked at it and smiled: "Every spring outing, there will be a whole day of excitement outside the city. At that time, no matter whether they are elegant people or ordinary people, they will all have fun in the spring. This year, there are many more Jinshi scholars in the capital. I want to come and meet them." It's more lively than in previous years, how can we not go?"

"Every spring outing, ordinary people have ordinary ways of playing, and elegant people have elegant ways of playing. This year, let's invite more people to have a more interesting way of playing, how about it?"

"I don't know how the prince wants to play?"

"It's really an elegant thing to make an appointment with those scholars who have reached the Jinshi and the famous talents in the capital. When we arrive, the water will flow."

"Will this... be too public?"

"What are you making public about? As a prince, is it okay for me to gather with talented scholars and scholars from the capital to discuss poetry?"

Su another looked and hesitated for a moment, and after a moment of contemplation, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and then smiled: "Since the prince insists on this, then the subordinates will make arrangements. How about setting the time in three days?"

The king of Jin nodded: "Mr. Su, don't worry about the matter. Well, the time is set in three days. You must invite Liu Wei to come. If a talented man like him doesn't come, it will be too boring, and there will be less poetry. .”

"Don't worry, my lord."
