Chapter 115: Fame is nothing but a dream (1)

People change, and exchanges become ancient and modern. Looking at the confrontation between the old leader Gu and the primary school student Qin, this poem suddenly appeared in many people's minds, and they even felt as if they were witnessing history in a trance.

In the battle between the old and new kings, Lao Wang unexpectedly lost in succession today in exchange for seats. He recommended a new combination and competed in loyalty for three times. He was defeated and had nothing to say. If you include the golden belt battle at Xiyuan Gate, Lao Wang has already

He knelt down four times in a row.

A garden that had just started construction was lost like this!

If the new king hadn't been too young, still just a commoner, and didn't have followers waving flags and shouting, the crown might have changed hands on the spot!

The owner Xu Tianci, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "I think it's because all the people in the waterside pavilion are men, and there is no balance between yin and yang, so the anger is too strong!

The food, wine, and beauties have all been prepared. Come on board, gentlemen, and please don’t hold back!"

The main purpose of displaying a saint in front of people, planting flags and erecting thousands of people has been achieved, and the character design is almost done. Qin Dewei felt that it was not enough, so he restrained himself and cupped his hands to Mr. Xu Liu: "I am young and cannot bear the weight of alcohol, so I will leave now!"

Anyway, there was no teacher in the field, so there was no need to say goodbye to others, so Qin Dewei finished speaking to the host, turned around and walked out.

Suddenly someone held down the young boy's shoulders from left to right. Qin Dewei looked up and saw the host Xu Tianci on one side, smiling maliciously: "You are a primary school student, you want to run away after making a scene?"

On the other side was Wen Zhengming: "Do you dare to talk with me on paper?"

It is said that when the old prince was still alive, the sixth son Xu Tianci was the old prince's favorite legitimate youngest son, commonly known as the old son, and Xu Pengju, who lost his father, was the old prince's legitimate grandson.

The old son and his eldest grandson were still about the same age, and the competition for favor began to spread twenty or thirty years ago. Rumors began to circulate that the old prince wanted to pass on the throne to his younger son, but in the end he was no match for etiquette, and his eldest grandson Xu Pengju succeeded to the throne.

However, in order to compensate his younger son, the old Duke gave most of his wealth to his son Xu Tianci. Dongyuan was originally given to Wei Guogong by the late emperor for generations to own, but in this generation it was occupied by the Duke's uncle.

Therefore, Qin Dewei probably understood what Xu Tianci was thinking. The meaning of this life was that he was a bad uncle who competed with his eldest nephew, the Duke, and needed others to help him talk and gain the limelight.

But Wen Zhengming suddenly came out and held him down, and Qin Dewei didn't understand. I know you very well? We've only met twice in total, right? Or do you want the poem "I am completely powerless to play in the water" again?

But Qin Dewei cannot be rude. Literary people can play with each other, but they cannot do without basic etiquette. This is a celebrity old timer, the only living legend among the four great talents in Jiangnan, and he has not offended himself.

Simply comparing today's literary and artistic status, among the people present, it is estimated that only Wang Tingxiang, one of the Seven Retro Talents, can compare with Wen Zhengming, and this is also assuming that Wang Tingxiang has the halo bonus of a real and powerful official position.

Speaking of which, Wen Zhengming was also a man of genius. He was obviously a recognized talent, but he failed nine provincial examinations as if he had seen a ghost. I wonder if he was ridiculed by Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan in their poems.

Among the famous people today, he has the worst test scores, and among the people with bad test scores, he is the most famous.

By the second year of Jiajing, even the princes of the imperial court could not stand the argument that "there are leftover talents in the wild", so they brought Wen Zhengming, a scholar who was already in his fifties, to the capital, and stuffed him into the Hanlin Academy of the Qingliu Yamen with special affairs.

, specially gave a ninth-grade official title to be placed in the place of great talents.

There is no way to go higher, what else can a scholar do? In the entire Ming Dynasty, perhaps only literary scholars were the only ones to receive such treatment.

Then Wen Zhengming attended the Hanlin Academy for three years, and after accumulating official resume, Wen Xianggong, a literary scholar, became a Wen Daizhao. He felt that it was not interesting, so he resigned and came back.

Coupled with the death of old friends one after another, his temperament began to change a little, the kind of change that Qin Dewei regarded as "old and not ashamed".

All in all, if a young boy is blocked by two adults and held down at the same time, he really won't be able to leave.

The East Garden has a vast water surface and is connected to the river outside. However, the large boat was too big and could not be driven in. Everyone could only stroll out of the north gate and the large boat was parked on the edge of the river.

The literati who were still staying in the East Garden could only look at the backs of this group of people and sigh. It was the same gathering, but two worlds.

Although it is said that the works here will be sent there to see the works, but the garden here is full of Han Erniang and the like, and the buildings and boats over there are full of famous flower lists.

Some people angrily thought, which celebrity is so shameless that he even brings his underage children with him? In this hateful world, competing for talent is really not as good as competing for father and master!

The building boat is really a building boat, the kind that is three stories high, with a tool room in the bottom and two floors for dining and entertainment.

Naturally, the old gentlemen and seniors went to the upper level, and the younger generation went to the lower level. They took their seats first, and then the beauties gradually came up to toast and interact with each other to take their seats. This was also an elegant and orderly process.

Otherwise, if the beauties wait first, and the big guys swarm in and rush for food, the scene will be too ugly.

Qin Dewei stood on the deck and thought for a moment, then climbed the stairs to the upper level.

It’s not that he likes to be acquainted with the big guys, it’s mainly because he really has nothing to talk about with the young people and they are not familiar with each other, so it would be awkward for the community!

After logging into the upper level, primary school student Qin's sharp eyes immediately saw where he should go!

Wang Tingxiang, Grand Sima of Nandu, Nanxue's sacrificial wine was as clear as water. Wen Renquan, Nanxue's official, and Wen Zhengming, Laopujie, were at the railing, forming a small circle, chatting while admiring the river view.

Although I don’t quite understand why these people got together, is there any need to hesitate?

Wen Zhengming caught a glimpse of the young man's approaching figure, and asked jokingly: "How can the children come up if they don't stay down below? Do you think there are any people under the age of thirty on this upper floor?"

Qin Dewei bowed his hands to Wang Tingxiang: "As the Grand Sima just said, I would like to inquire about the affairs of the county. I am just waiting for orders."

Wang Tingxiang: ""

Do you have to rely on me every time you step on the horse? Just now, I just looked for Feng En's face and found an excuse to keep you here!

Nan Xuezhan's words of offering wine touched the young boy's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "You are starting from the bottom up, and you want to seek the path to success? What kind of official words are you talking about at such a young age? Show some sincerity."

Qin Dewei replied respectfully: "Son, even if I have ambitions, I would not dare to ask the chief minister to succeed you. I am not a scholar waiting for an imperial edict."

Wen Zhengming, who was unexpectedly stabbed in the back, was stunned, but the others laughed because the elementary school student was talking interestingly.

One of the other sources of the Imperial College students, apart from the favor, is to select old scholars who failed to pass the civil service examination as Sui Gong students. They go to the Imperial College to study for a formality, and then obtain the qualifications to be officials.

Strictly speaking, Wen Zhengming also followed this system seven years ago.

Qin Dewei said to the Imperial Academy that he was offering wine, "I am not a literary scholar waiting for an imperial edict." This was obviously another literati joke. The connotation was that Wen Zhengming failed the nine provincial examinations and had no choice but to enter the imperial court as a tribute student.

At the same time, he also said that he had great ambitions and did not want to study in the Imperial College, so of course he would not dare to ask for wine from the Imperial College. He also had a vague connotation that the wine offered by the Imperial College was useless.
