The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 347
In the morning of the next day, many scholars from Jinghe Academy came. Of course, as Duan Yuerong said, Guo Mingcai and Han Leng also came.

Not long after everyone sat down in the courtyard, Liu Wei came over.

Today's weather is not as beautiful as Liu Wei said yesterday. On the contrary, today's weather is slightly gloomy, as if it is about to rain.

But after Liu Wei came, he didn't show any embarrassment or embarrassment.

After he sat down in front of the crowd, he said with a smile: "You are all talents in my Chang'an city. I invite you to come here today just to get to know each other and learn from each other. If anyone is talented, it will be of great help to the imperial examination next year." But it's very helpful."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he showed a slight smile again, and everyone was shocked after hearing Liu Wei's words. Who is Liu Wei? He affirmed that next year's Jinshi qualifications would not be a problem at all.

Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized by Liu Wei's words.

Of course, Liu Wei also knew that his words could easily cause some people with ulterior motives to make a big fuss, but in order to prevent some people from hiding their clumsiness, he had to do so.

After the start, Liu Wei asked everyone to do a few questions, such as how to govern the country, so that it seemed that he was really selecting talents for the court.

After saying this, I started to discuss poetry.

Liu Wei came up with a lot of questions for these scholars and scholars to write lyrics, and everyone was very active. Liu Wei listened carefully, and he found that although Duan Yuerong said that Guo Mingcai and Han Leng had the best talents, the truth was not. in this way.

Among these people, there are at least three people with better talents than Guo Mingcai and Han Leng, and these three people are scholars and scholars that Gu Yu recruited from other places after Duan Shi's death.

Liu Wei had vaguely guessed a clue from these situations, but he didn't show any doubts, but talked with these people as usual, and occasionally commented on poems, which was also very fair.

The whole event was very good, everyone spoke freely and showed their talents.

When this was coming to an end, a scholar suddenly made a suggestion, asking Liu Wei to write a poem as well.

Regarding these people's proposals, Liu Wei did not refuse. He wrote a poem called "Yulouchun" on the topic of "Spring" that everyone made last:

Green Yangfangcao Changting Road.It is easy to throw people away when you are young.The dream at the top of the building is at five o'clock, and the flower bottom is separated from love and it rains in March.

Ruthless is not as passionate as suffering.An inch is worth thousands of strands.When there is a limit to the ends of the earth, there is only endless lovesickness.

The song "Jade House Spring Comes Out" immediately attracted everyone's applause, but Duan Yuerong seemed very calm, but although she was calm, her heart was also shocked, ruthless does not seem to be passionate, and an inch is worth thousands of strands. , only endless lovesickness.

The word "lovesickness" is more delicate than that of a woman.

Duan Yuerong is a woman, and women are passionate, and they love such words. She didn't think much of Liu Wei before. She always felt that those people's praise of Liu Wei was too exaggerated, but today she saw Liu Wei on the spot. After the first words, she suddenly felt that she had fallen.

The wind was slightly cold, there was a thunder in the sky, and then it began to rain.

The rain was not too heavy, but it was difficult to continue the grand event. People left one after another, and soon only Liu Wei and the others were left in the entire government office.

Drizzle, spring sorrow.

Liu Wei looked at Duan Yuerong and smiled: "Miss Duan, did you notice anything unusual about these people today?"

Duan Yuerong was still thinking about that poem, but she still answered after Liu Wei spoke. In fact, she noticed something strange on the way to today's event.

"Did your lord find out too? In fact, the little girl also felt strange today. Guo Mingcai and Han Leng have always been the great talents of Jinghe Academy. Today their poems are not abnormal, but they are not as good as those few unknown scholars. It's really strange, and those few scholars and girls have never heard of it."

After Duan Yuerong finished speaking, Liu Wei nodded: "That's right, this is indeed strange, and those few talented people are foreign students accepted by Gu Yu. I think they are very suspicious."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Liu Wei smiled, he already had some ideas about this matter, and what he has to do now is to verify his conjecture.

After coming to the study to find Zhugepi, Liu Wei gave Zhugepi several lists, asking him to investigate the people on the list. After Zhugepi took the order, Liu Wei sent another letter to Guo Mingcai, inviting him See you at Mingyue Tower.
-
The spring rain is getting heavier, and Mingyue Tower is very lively at night, because it is a brothel.

Liu Wei showed a slight smile when he saw Guo Mingcai, but Guo Mingcai was shocked, he really didn't understand why Liu Wei wanted to meet him in such a place.

The room on the second floor was very quiet. After the two of them sat down, Liu Wei asked with a smile, "Guo Caizi often comes to this place to play, right?"

Guo Mingcai was taken aback suddenly, he did come to Mingyue Tower often to play, and he had a lot of friends here, and Liu Wei knew about this, which meant that Liu Wei had investigated him.

He suddenly became uneasy.

Although in the Song Dynasty, it was nothing for scholars to come to the brothel to play, they still had a bad impression of those examiners.

"Master Liu said that, Cao Min just came here occasionally."

Liu Wei smiled: "Don't be nervous for Guo Caizi. In fact, I don't object to men coming to this kind of place. What's more, a talented person like Guo Caizi must be welcomed by prostitutes, right?"

Guo Mingcai smiled awkwardly, and at this time, Liu Wei suddenly said: "It's just that some of Guo Caizi's hobbies are too unusual."

Guo Mingcai was suddenly dumbfounded, he stared at Liu Wei for a long time speechless.

"Liu... the grass people don't understand what Mr. Liu said."

Liu Wei shrugged and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, there are advantages to not understanding, but as long as I understand it, it will be fine."

Liu Wei didn't explain too much what Guo Mingcai's hobby was, but he believed that Guo Mingcai already knew what was going on at this time.

"My lord... My lord, you can't tell these things. The grass people haven't married a wife yet. If it gets out, who will marry the grass people?"

"Don't worry, I know how to measure it, but I keep it a secret for you. Should you do something for me?"

"Please tell me, my lord, as long as the grassroots can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"You must be able to do it." As he spoke, Liu Wei took out a letter: "There are things I want you to do here, you just need to do what the letter says, don't worry about other things, and If you don't do what I ordered, it's a pity that your life will be over."

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei got up and threw a piece of silver: "You can have fun here tonight, and Mr. Qian will pay for you."

Guo Mingcai was dumbfounded. He opened the letter Liu Wei gave him tremblingly. When he saw the contents of the letter, he was suddenly shocked and speechless. Although Liu Wei paid for him, but tonight he really Not in the mood to play women here.

The night is dark and the spring rain is blurred.

On such a late night, King Wei entered the palace alone.

Entering the palace, he told Zhao Kuangyin the original story of Liu Wei summoning Chang'an scholars today, and then explained for himself: "Brother Emperor, I didn't want to report this matter to you, but Liu Wei What he did was really disrespectful to the Holy Majesty. He is blatantly forming a clique. This is not a good idea. If our courtiers in the Song Dynasty were like this, who would want to govern the country? The reason why the Tang Dynasty started from Isn’t it because of their partisanship that they prosper to decline?”

What King Wei said was filled with righteous indignation, worrying about the country and the people.

What Zhao Kuangyin listened to was calm and ordinary, as if he didn't listen to what King Wei said at all. King Wei was excited at the beginning, and even found that his brother didn't respond at all, so he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Brother Huang, do you see this?"

"Liu Weihe told me about this, and I also agreed with Liu Wei to do this. Since I have come to Chang'an, how can I do it without an examination of Chang'an scholars?" At this point, Zhao Kuangyin's tone suddenly became cold: "You should You don’t want me to examine them personally, do you?”

King Wei's heart sank, and he didn't even dare to say that since Zhao Kuangyin was assassinated at the gate of Chang'an City last time, no one dared to bring up the topic of who Zhao Kuangyin met, because such topics may be used by thieves at any time.

Seeing King Wei like this, Zhao Kuangyin sighed inwardly, his younger brother still wanted to deal with Liu Wei, King Jin didn't come, did he not know about it, or was he too clear about what Liu Wei was doing?
Zhao Kuangyin found that his two younger brothers were really different. In comparison, King Jin was many times stronger than King Wei.

At least in Zhao Kuangyin's view, a person who is not surprised by favor or humiliation is more convincing and more powerful than a person who yells loudly about everything.

After the king of Wei left the palace, Zhao Kuangyin stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. There was no star and no moon tonight, and the spring rain hypnotized him, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. Now the Song Dynasty was at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't go back casually. The smallpox in Chang'an City Although it has been resolved, the real purpose of his coming here has not been revealed at all.

Willow flavor, willow flavor.

He really doesn't understand why it is so difficult to find someone who is as smart as Liu Wei, and he is now focusing most of his energy on solving the case.

The spring breeze is blowing, the rain is sandwiched, and there is some coolness on the face. The night rain in Chang'an is full of poetry.

Zhao Kuangyin understands that the reason why people in the world feel this way is because of the brilliant Tang poetry, which is an insurmountable monument for future generations.

So in the future, when future generations comment on Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, what will they think of, is it the prosperity of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival, or Song Ci?
