Chapter 235 Famous
Chapter 235: Famous
The Ministry of Rites passed the imperial examination, but suddenly he broke his right hand, and a stranger saw that he was unfair and pulled his sword to help him. When he was planning to endure his injuries, he said that he could make him famous and actually be the prince of Xing'an... For Xu Zhenqing, such a great ups and downs were the first time in his life. Even when he first arrived in Suzhou, he met Tang Yin and received his funding to survive the most sad period, it was not as good as the current setbacks. According to Xu Xun's words, when he was attending the teacher the day before yesterday, he untied his hanging arms and splints, intentionally keeping a low profile, but he didn't let Zhang Yuanzhen and Yang Tinghe see the clues.
He had tried to write with his left hand before, but now he was trying to write with his right hand with a clamped plate. Although the words on the paper were barely correct, they were far worse than before. He was anxious and threw away his pen, leaning on the back of the chair with a look of confusion, and even regretted that he shouldn't have lost his original plan with a gentle and clever sentence. Now he has been connected, but if he is rejected by the palace examination in this way, wouldn't that be a lifetime regret?
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu!"
Hearing this yell, Xu Zhenqing raised his head and saw Zhu Zhishan, who was nearly fifty years old, rushing in, rushing in, with a look of joy on his face. Before he could ask questions, Zhu Zhishan smiled and said, "Someone outside the door asked you for articles!"
Although Xu Zhenqing was famous in Wuzhong because of Tang Yin's support, now he has arrived in Beijing. There are countless so-called talented men. In addition, he is not very good at appearance and not many like-minded friends. In addition, he is depressed after his arm, let alone go out to learn about humanities. Seeing Zhu Zhishan happy like this, he couldn't help but say in muffled: "How can I meet any guests like this? Brother Wen and I meet me for a favor, and give a tribute to others!"
"Hey, it's okay, but today's not!" Zhu Zhishan couldn't help it, so he said the truth, "The person who came said that it was a noble family, but I seem to be a father-in-law in the palace. If you don't handle it, Wen Hengshan can't stand it anymore!"
The father-in-law in the palace!
Xu Zhenqing felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he stood up suddenly. He didn't care about losing his composure and hurried out of the house in casual clothes. When he came to the front hall, he saw a young man wearing a flat scarf and a blue round-necked shirt sitting there. At first glance, he seemed a little shy. Wen Zhengming was chatting with people without saying a word. When he saw Xu Zhenqing, he immediately stood up as if he was pardoned and said with a smile: "Changgu, this person is here to find you."
The one who was ordered to run errands today was Ruisheng. Emperor Hongzhi learned from Zhu Houzhao that the person who wrote the lyrics was Xu Zhenqing, a tribute scholar in the current tribute, so he ordered the Lijian to go to the Ministry of Rites to transfer the test papers for his examination. After reading it, he was quite appreciative and then ordered Xiao Jing to send someone to the Nanzhili Guild Hall to meet him. As a result, Xiao Jing ordered him to come. After meeting Xu Zhenqing, he saw that his pair of triangular eyes were distorted, Ruisheng couldn't help but feel a little confused. But then he thought of the songs that were said to have been presented to the prince by Xu Xun, so he put aside these thoughts and bowed politely, and directly revealed his identity.
"Is it Xu Gongshi? Today I am here to be the order of the Chief Secretary for Printing Eunuch Xiao. I want to ask Xu Gongshi how many copies of the old ink scrolls."
Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. It was said that the habit of ink scrolls had already existed since the Tang Dynasty officially held the imperial examinations, but most of them were just scholars who tried their best to send ink scrolls to the powerful and nobles. However, if the powerful and nobles sent people to ask for ink scrolls, it almost means that this person's day of success is expected!
Both of them were very excited for a moment, so let alone Xu Zhenqing, the person involved. He took a deep breath with almost patient excitement, and then asked carefully: "I dare to ask my uncle, I have a lot of poems and articles. I wonder what topics are Eunuch Xiao looking for?"
"Um..." Although Xiao Jing didn't say it clearly, Rui Sheng was honest and thought for a while and then smiled, "In this way, you can organize all the documents and take them back to me, whether it is poetry, songs and articles. However, Mr. Xu is now injured in his hand, so please choose those beautiful and neat calligraphy. After all, it is not only Eunuch Xiao who needs to read it, but then there are ten to present the emperor to the end."
Xu Zhenqing and the other two were used to seeing the arrogant faces of the eunuchs from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau in Suzhou. They thought it was so difficult to deal with the little eunuch from the Palace. It was obvious that Ruisheng was polite and kept talking and said something out of the way. Unexpectedly, they all knew that they had no time to admit it. After Xu Zhenqing hurriedly agreed, he asked Wen Zhengming to accompany Ruisheng. He and Zhu Zhishan hurried back to the house to sort it out. After picking out a bunch of books from the vine box in a few seconds, the two quickly picked it up. When Zhu Zhishan finally hugged the thing, Xu Zhenqing suddenly stopped again.
"Brother Zhu, why don't you hurry up and find the ink rolls of you and Brother Wen and mix them with one of them and send them to them?" Seeing that Zhu Zhishan was stunned for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "If you ask questions at that time, you will say that the three of us have a good relationship, and the ink rolls will not be noticed for a while. The opportunity is rare, even if you let the emperor remember your names!"
Although he knew that this was not appropriate, Zhu Zhishan thought about it for a while and finally felt excited. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and turned around with Xu Zhenqing. In a moment, the two of them came back, but there were two inconspicuous volumes on the pile of ink scrolls. However, when they returned to the front hall, they gave the things, and saw Ruisheng standing up and looking at them all the same before they immediately made Xu Zhenqing and Zhu Zhishan feel scared. Wen Zhengming next to him didn't know what was going on, but when Zhu Zhishan stepped forward and said something softly, he was immediately shocked and pulled the person aside.
"So too, Xiao Xu is kind-hearted, but this kind of thing can be done? What if someone turns against you..."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them heard a surprise. They turned their heads and saw Ruisheng frowning and looking at a book. Zhu Zhishan suddenly felt bad. Just when he was about to explain, he heard the notification from his book boy from outside: "Young Master Xu, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wen, Prince Xing'an is here!"
With the announcement, a man lifted the curtain and entered the room by himself. Who else wasn't Xu Xun? As soon as he entered the room, he saw that there was a Ruisheng. He suddenly woke up and bowed with a smile and said, "Hey, such a coincidence, Eunuch Rui is here?"
"Good Prince." Because there was an outsider, Ruisheng saw that Xu Xun was happy, but he still saluted with his hands in a regular manner. Then he lowered his head and said, "It was Eunuch Xiao who sent the young man to ask Mr. Xu for the ink scroll."
"So that's it." Xu Xun smiled slightly, glanced at the three talents on the other side, and asked again, "Does Eunuch Xiao know that Mr. Xu's right hand was injured?"
"I already know." After Ruisheng said these five words, hesitated for a moment and then added, "Long Sui Ye knows it too. He also sighed that it was a disaster that was not absurd, and those people must be severely punished, but others did not know about it."
Xu Zhenqing, who had been worried about tomorrow's palace examination, felt that a big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground, and his mind was blank next, and everyone had no time to listen to anything else. It was not until Ruisheng asked him with a copy of ink scroll that it seemed that this was not his handwriting that he suddenly realized it and wanted to explain it, but he didn't know what to say. Until a voice came from next to him.
"Eunuch Rui, just give it to Eunuch Xiao. If Eunuch Xiao questions it, you just say that these talented men in Wuzhong have excellent friendships and are often associated with each other, so they are mixed together."
"Okay." Ruisheng had always had no reason to convince Xu Xun. When he heard this, he raised the curtain and ordered outside. Seeing the two waiters dressed in a small fireman carrying a vine box, he packed the things in. Finally, he nodded to everyone and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and report first. Does the prince have anything to say to Eunuch Xiao?"
Xu Xun glanced at the three people who were nervous, waved to Ruisheng to go aside, and asked him about Xu Zhenqing in a low voice. Li Rongke knew about it. Seeing Ruisheng shook his head, he reminded him to hide the matter. Seeing that he agreed, he bowed away with two little firemen, he raised the curtain and let the three people go out. After the others walked out of the two doors, he put down the curtain and turned around.
"I've been busy with current affairs and have no time to come. Because tomorrow is the palace examination, I rushed to cheer up Mr. Xu. I guess because Eunuch Rui comes today, you can't help but be surprised. The matter is very simple. On February 29th, the Crown Prince celebrated his birthday with Brother Xu's four songs of Yuefu, so Eunuch Xiao sent someone to ask for the ink scroll today."
For this straightforward explanation, even though Xu Xun was a close minister of the crown prince, Xu Zhenqing still felt that he was tragic. Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming suddenly realized what Xu Xun said that day, and he couldn't help but sigh at Xu Zhenqing's opportunity - such a blessing in disguise is simply something that ordinary people dare not imagine!
After standing for a while, Xu Zhenqing finally came to his senses and saluted deeply at Xu Xun without saying a word: "The prince not only saved me from water and fire, but also helped me to be famous, and also fulfilled Brother Zhu and Brother Wen. Xu Zhenqing will never repay such great kindness!"
Seeing Xu Zhenqing bowing, Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming were also hustled to salute. Xu Xun hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help the person up one by one, but said with a smile: "Meeting is fate. Mr. Xu is a real person with real talent and talent. I just give you an opportunity. What's more, I helped you, and I also helped me myself. Otherwise, His Royal Highness asked me to find someone to write Yuefu. I was in trouble at that time. Didn't God have any eyes when I met you?"
He paused, looked at Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming again, and slowed down his tone and said, "As for fulfilling Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wen, it is actually just a small task. And I am frank, people often judge people by their appearance. Those who are not good at appearance will often be superstitious and have the name of being talented but not virtuous. When you encounter such a good opportunity, you will not forget to quote Zhu Wen. If you know about Eunuch Xiao and even the emperor, you will have a better measure of your character. Zhu Wen, the two who are known to the emperor, are certainly a fate law, but you will never want it when you come to the official position. You will have to go to the imperial examination again in the future. Whether it is successful or not depends on yourself."
"In addition, Mr. Xu, you might as well remove the splint during the palace examination. After the emperor withdraws from his seat and takes it to the palace, you can just wait for the clip to write. As for your paper, even if the handwriting is not so neat, the emperor will definitely transfer it to see it with the previous incident, so it doesn't matter. There is only one. Today, Eunuch Rui is here to leave and you are waiting for the ink scroll. Please don't let it go. It is important to know that Tang Jieyuan's past lessons are learned from the past, and he will be able to get rid of the disaster!"
