Chapter 24 The Three Kings
The poem "Climbing the Stork Tower" is not too familiar to Pei Min. He remembered that he learned Wang Zhihuan's poem when he was in the first grade of elementary school. He also messed up Cui Hao's "Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower" and Wang Zhihuan's poem "Climbing the Stork Tower" until he was in junior high school. It was not until he went to high school that he understood the difference between the two.
Although "Climbing the Stork Tower" is catchy and is a poem that elementary school students learn, it uses a thousand giant rafters to paint the majestic momentum and magnificent scenes of the rivers and mountains of the north, melting philosophy, scenery and situations into a seamless way. It is an immortal poem.
Zhang Jiuling went down to invite someone.
Pei Min continued to look at the second manuscript of the poem. He had never read it before, but it was still full of Wang Zhihuan's unique magnificence and broad artistic conception, which made him illuminate.
Soon, Zhang Jiuling took a young man in his thirties into the lobby.
Pei Min looked at the young man. The young man wore a long sword on his waist and was dressed in white. He was very elegant. In his memory, history books gave him a high evaluation, saying that he was "filial to his family, righteous to his friends, generous and stubborn, and handsome to his extraordinary talents."
Such evaluation is not small at all.
The young man came to the hall and bowed respectfully, "The king of Caomin Jimen, has met Duke Pei."
"No gifts and no gifts!" Pei Min smiled and asked him to get up and speak. Judging from his appearance, Wang Zhihuan could indeed be said to be suave: "Your poems have just been read. It is indeed full of enthusiasm, with beautiful rhymes and catchy, and can be regarded as a masterpiece."
Wang Zhihuan said: "The people who have received praise from the country will be blessed in their lives, and they are ashamed of being responsible."
Pei Min thought he was polite, but he ignored it, and just said, "But you have to know that there are thousands of talents in this world. When it comes to poetry and prose, you can say that it is rare in the world. But you may not be able to be an official or govern the people."
He has deeply understood what he said recently, and the object of his understanding was Li Linfu.
Li Linfu has always pretended to be talented, but he missed it not long ago and made a lot of jokes.
Li Linfu and Gu Xin have a good relationship.
Although Gu Xin is the second in command of the prefecture, he is honest and is used to support some orphans and widows, and he lives in a very poor life.
Li Linfu laughed and said that they were "friends of the priests and the other ones".
Gu Xin was so angry that he almost broke off contact with Li Linfu.
What Li Linfu really wants to say is the friendship between the two of them, and they don’t care about each other’s identity and the wealth of the family.
Li Linfu's cultural foundation is extremely average. He vaguely knew that there was this word, so he said "the friendship between the two of them".
Chu Ni means being unfilial to his parents, and that is the friendship between two unfilial teenagers.
Gu Xin is extremely filial, so he can't stand this humiliation and turn his back on his face.
Pei Min couldn't help laughing for a while after hearing this.
However, although Li Linfu's cultural level is not high, he is indeed powerful in political strategies and shows a completely opposite of his cultural level.
Wang Zhihuan said unwillingly: "The Duke of Guo thought that the words of Cao people were flattering? In fact, it was not. Cao people were born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, and were also considered a descendant of the famous family. He also had some knowledge of the way to govern the world. His family thought that I had found a way to seek official positions, but Cao people was keen on poetry and essays. Compared to entering the court and going to the government, he was more willing to send love to mountains and rivers with friends, recite poems and talk, and was content with pleasure. Cao people's family is still wealthy and not trapped by money. He may not be in office, and he is involved in intrigues. He heard the Duke of Guo's poem "Going to the Frontier" two years ago. He was inexplicably moved. Not long ago, he visited Shibao City and saw the Duke of Guo's inscription sword book under Shibao City. He was moved and sad. Thinking that Cao people's life of drunkenness and dreams was exchanged for thousands of white bones, he was even more ashamed and ashamed. So far, he made a vow: I would like to use a seven-foot body, lift a breeze and three-foot pen to join the army, and serve the Duke of Guo's tent!"
Pei Min made Wang Zhihuan feel embarrassed and said with a smile: "If you have this intention, why don't you accept it? It just so happens that I lack personnel under my command. If you don't dislike it, then act as a document under my account first. After you have determined your ability, you can evaluate the merits and improve accordingly."
Wang Zhihuan said without any attention: "I am willing to serve the Duke of the State."
"By the way!" Pei Min remembered Wang Zhihuan's previous friend and couldn't help but say, "If you have friends who are talented but not met, you can also recommend them. If you really have great talents, Min can recommend them to Your Majesty."
Wang Zhihuan said: "The friends who were taught by my subordinates in their early years were mostly similar to those of their previous thoughts and were not enthusiastic about their careers. However, they have made friends with two confidants in recent years, but they also have the intention of loyalty to the country. These two people are afraid of being better than me in terms of talent, but they are young and have no fame."
Pei Min hurriedly said, "It's okay, as the saying goes, no matter how talented people are, fame and fortune are all things that happen later. As long as you are really talented, are you still afraid of not having fame and fortune?"
When he heard Wang Zhihuan say that his talent was better than him, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
Wang Zhihuan replied: "According to the fact that they both had the same surname as their subordinates, one had two names, Changling, and the other had a single name and one with Wei."
Wang Changling, Wang Wei!
Pei Min was a little mentally prepared, but when he heard Wang Zhihuan say Wang Changling and Wang Wei's name, he still couldn't help but feel shocked.
The Seven-Character Holy Hand Wang Changling!
Poetry Buddha Wang Wei!
They are all famous and outstanding figures!
Moreover, both of them have certain political achievements, not those who are pure poets.
Wang Zhihuan asked, "Have you heard of them?"
Pei Min smiled and said, "Who can't know the name of the prodigy Wang Wei, Chang'an?"
Wang Changling is not famous now, but Wang Wei’s name is Pei Min.
Wang Wei's talent was already revealed. When he was fifteen years old, he went to the capital to take the exam. He also wrote good poems, painted good paintings, and had a talent for music. As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately became the darling of the princes and nobles in the capital and became famous in the capital.
Wang Zhihuan thought about it and said, "Brother Changling highly praised the Duke. As long as his subordinates contact each other, they will come back in almost 100 years. As for Brother Mojie, this... the subordinates are not sure."
Pei Min said: "It's okay, it's okay, if you can come, you're one."
Wang Zhihuan was also willing to seek fame and fortune for his friends, and responded without hesitation.
Pei Min thought that if Wang Changling and Wang Wei came, then when Li Bai and Du Fu were recruited, he would be surrounded by heroes under his command.
In addition to Zhang Jiuling, the top poets of this era are all his subordinates, right?
Just thinking about it, Pei Min felt excited.
Wang Zhihuan's status in documentary was not high, he was just a minor official, working as a helper Pei Min drafting manuscripts. However, he did not think that he was low in his position, nor did he have a proud attitude, and he was serious about everything he was doing.
Pei Min often tests Wang Zhihuan's administrative ability.
Wang Zhihuan answered in a good manner and was indeed quite capable.
Although Pei Min did not immediately promote his official position, he also shared some matters outside his position to deal with him.
