73, dust settled
() Being able to meet the current prime minister was really good news for Wang Wei. Although all this was part of his plan, he tried his best to express himself in front of Pei Yaoqing, but his ultimate goal was still for Song Jing.
However, during these two months, Wang Wei did not focus on the conflict between him and Jiang Qing, but stayed with the injured Cui Yingluo. In a sense, this incident
Cui Yingluo's injury also played a big factor in why it went so smoothly.
Although his father, Cui Can, was not a high-ranking official, he was still a fifth-rank court official, and he was the nominal head of the Boling Cui family. In addition, he belonged to the kind of clear-blooded literati, the so-called
"Publicly known elites" have huge influence, which is of great help to Jiang Jiao's submission and compromise, and the Cui family has also benefited from this, including compensation from the current prime minister. Cui Can is expected to take a further step in the officialdom. This
It's almost worth his several years of hard work.
Jiang Qing's fate has also been decided. He has become the abandoned son of the Jiang family because he has committed too many things. Perhaps each thing is a small matter when viewed individually, and it targets the people at the bottom, but
At this time, it was natural that "the prince broke the law and committed the same crimes as the people." He was directly sentenced to exile, but as a result, the entire Jiang family was expelled.
Exile seems to be lighter than direct beheading, but in fact, people with poor health often die in exile. People like Jiang Qing who have never endured hardship and whose physical fitness is not very good because of their lustful behavior,
The result is basically a dead end, or a slow suicide on the road...
It can be seen from this that the fate of offending Wang Wei is so tragic. Wang Wei, the person who beat him violently, has gained a good reputation. His name of "chivalry" has become more popular and praised among the scholars. And Jiang Qing
Everyone is shouting for beating, and almost several forces want him dead. The Jiang family wants him dead, because after his death, there will be no witness, and the Jiang family will have one less time bomb, and the Jiang family will not be afraid of the family.
The people were heartbroken because Jiang Qing only had good relations with Jiang Jiao's son Jiang Qingchu, and his other popularity was not that good.
Song Jing also wanted him to die, because this not only gave the Cui family an explanation, but also further demonstrated his upright and strict official voice. After all, severely punishing the second-generation rich and second-generation officials who are rich and rich, are indeed very popular among the people.
Wang Wei also wanted him to die for the simplest reason, because it was just Cui Yingluo, but no one discovered this, and he would not publicize that he would retaliate for a woman like that.
Wei Zhi, who knew Wang Wei very well, even felt that Wang Wei might have planned this game a long time ago. Cui Yingluo was a move he made conveniently. The identity of the chess piece was really just right, otherwise Wang Wei would not be qualified to take revenge like that.
Strong, because in a sense, Wang Wei's act of beating Jiang Qing in the street and beheading the BMW was also a crime.
But in the end, no one mentioned this matter, because he took a position, and behind him was Pei Yaoqing, a person who directly tried the case. Behind Pei Yaoqing was a big shot like Song Jing, and Wang Wei himself was a court official Cui Can.
His nephew and his wife's son-in-law was quite famous in the literary world. He sang with Wei Zhi, Cui Zongzhi, Cui Hao, Lu Xiang and others, and was supported by He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu, Wu Daozi and others. Such a huge picture
The network of people ensured that nothing happened to Wang Wei.
The role of false reputation is reflected here, because Wang Wei is "just" and insists on justice. Even if the Jiang family hates Wang Wei, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it.
Just wait until the time comes to retaliate, and then come back with harsh revenge. Now is not the best time to take revenge.
Wei Zhi saw the development of the whole thing in his eyes, and he really admired Wang Wei's previous predictions more and more. He even developed a kind of blind worship for Wang Wei. Under such circumstances, he naturally
He was full of praise for Wang Wei in front of Song Jing.
Song Jing knew Wei Zhi's high-minded character, and after discovering that he praised Wang Wei so much, he naturally became curious about this young man. Pei Yaoqing also told Song Jing about Wang Wei's performance in this matter.
He thought this young man could use some guidance.
After two months of training, Cui Yingluo finally recovered her health. At that time, she fell to the ground and vomited blood, which made Wang Wei feel very distressed. Fortunately, Cui Yingluo seemed to be fine now, which made Wang Wei feel relieved.
.
Even though Wang Wei was prejudiced against Princess Yuzhen and even thought she had a mental problem, he still politely expressed his gratitude to Princess Yuzhen. After all, she did give Cui Yingluo the best medical treatment at the first time.
Assure.
Although what he received was still Princess Yuzhen's cynicism and her assertion that Wang Wei would never pass the provincial examination, Wang Wei didn't take it to heart at all. He couldn't care too much about a woman. As for Li Chiying's threat, Wang Wei was even more concerned about it.
He didn't take it to heart because he would see Song Jing soon. No matter how influential Princess Yuzhen was, she couldn't compare to Song Jing, who was a very popular minister.
It was September, and Chang'an County Magistrate Pei Yaoqing was proceeding smoothly with the reform of household allocation and municipal laws. Wannian County was not lagging behind at this time. It can be seen that this was the release of Yuan Qianyao to Song Jing who was able to adapt to the wind.
of goodwill.
Song Jing's many political decrees to eliminate long-standing abuses were finally carried out in an orderly manner. After taking down Jiang Jiao, he took advantage of the general trend and directly deposed thousands of obliquely appointed officials (officials bought with money) in the capital, allowing many to rely on opportunism to gain power.
The people present were trembling with fear, but no one dared to disobey the Prime Minister's majesty, because Song Jing had the support of the Holy Emperor.
Next, Song Jing is also planning to eliminate the "cavalry army" who take great credit, ban the recycling of counterfeit coins in the popular market, and adopt an employment system based on their ability. However, these things are all thankless and offending, but Song Jing
Jing decided to carry on without hesitation. This was his responsibility as prime minister.
After dealing with the political affairs at hand, Song Jing finally took the time to see Wang Wei. After knowing that Wang Wei was preparing to take the imperial examination next year, he quickly realized why Wang Wei tried his best to show off his talents and talents in front of Pei Yaoqing and Wei Zhi.
Nature is different from talent. Song Jing appreciates talented people more than those flashy things.
Song Jing was not impressed by Wang Wei's scheming. Although he was known as "upright and strict" and "selfless", and some people even complained about his "hard-hearted", he was not a rigid person who stuck to rules and regulations.
Reform, how can a prime minister who wants to get rid of chronic abuses become rigid and pedantic?
Therefore, as long as Wang Wei really has Pei Yaoqing, who is as capable as Wei Zhi said, Song Jing will not mind helping Wang Wei in the imperial examination. His recommendation is just to help Wang Wei eliminate those variables and give Wang Wei an absolutely fair
environment, but for Wang Wei, it changed his probability of passing the provincial examination to 100%.
It is already the end of summer and early autumn. Even though the sun is shining today, it is no longer as hot as summer. Wang Wei took the gifts he carefully prepared and followed Wei Zhi to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He behaved very low-key, but still
It attracted the attention of many interested people.
But at this time, the role of reputation came into play again. Almost no one thought that Wang Wei would get Song Jing's help in the imperial examination. The reasons are very obvious. First, Song Jing was an unselfish person who did not even favor his own family members.
, would he write a letter of recommendation for an outsider like Wang Wei? This is really impossible. Secondly, Wang Wei himself has a noble character and disdains the path of the rich and powerful. He thinks that he can pass the provincial examination safely with his talent.
These two very obvious reasons prevent Wang Wei from being questioned by others. Wang Wei's wonderful poems often leak out and cultivate a large number of idiot fans, who will spontaneously defend Wang Wei's reputation.
In fact, there are many people waiting to see Wang Wei's jokes, especially those who have experienced the shady story of the imperial examination. No matter how talented a person is, if they don't open up some channels, they are waiting to be cheated. Those who are jealous of Wang Wei's talent, and
People who don't like other people's nobleness are just waiting for Wang Wei to fail the exam, and then they beat him up.
These things were all experienced by Wang Wei in history. He took part in the imperial examination with full confidence for the first time, but he was given a blow in the head. Then all kinds of ridicule and ridicule came one after another. The pressure in the family was also great, and he was arrested the next year.
Naturally, he tried his best to find a way to Princess Yuzhen, but in the end, he was still being played around with applause.
But now Wang Wei has the opportunity to truly make friends with real people with real power like Pei Yaoqing and Song Jing, not just those who are talkative in the literary world. This is Wang Wei's opportunity for success.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, we came to a garden full of plum trees, but the winter plum trees had not yet opened, and the bare branches gave people a different kind of autumn feeling.
Seeing these plum trees, Wang Wei couldn't help but feel certain that the gift he prepared today was related to plum blossoms. It was a painting of "Winter Plum Blossoms" that he carefully painted. It is a traditional Chinese painting.
Wang Wei put a lot of thought into it, because this painting was based on Song Jing's famous poem "Plum Blossom Ode".
Song Jing was upright and upright, but he wrote the romantic and charming "Plum Blossom Ode". Pi Rixiu's preface to "Peach Blossom Ode" said that Song Jing had "a chaste posture, strong temperament, and a strong attitude. It is doubtful that he has a heart of iron and a heart of stone."
You can't utter flattering words." Yue Ding's other poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers" said: "The road is wide and the heart is like iron, and the poems are romantic, and there are endless worries about thousands of knots." In fact, people with "iron hearts and stone hearts" can't do it.
Is there another side to "romantic poetry", especially to express their youthful feelings?
This "Plum Blossom Ode" was written by Song Jing when he was twenty-five years old. At that time, he had just failed the imperial examination, so he followed his uncle to Dongchuan, Sichuan, and stayed in a dormitory newly prepared by the government for entertaining guests. At that time, because of several consecutive
When Yue was sick, he sometimes walked outside. Beside a collapsed wall, he saw a plum blossom blooming and growing among the tangled vegetation. He sighed and said: "This plum blossom is out of place. It is so outstanding."
How can it be recognized if its qualifications are hidden by vegetation? If its steadfast nature does not change, that is very desirable."
He was very touched and thought that this flower simply symbolized himself, so he became interested and wrote "Ode to Plum Blossoms".
