Chapter 223: Finally found the person who made the poem in the restaurant
Wei also got old and began to treat the people behind him, and the queue riveted Haoyue still talked and laughed about what happened just now, especially the method of treating lovesickness with red beans, and commented on it, and discussed in depth why it was red beans instead of mung beans.
At this time, Han Ye didn't dare to delay the time, got out of the Inspiration Temple, jumped on horseback, rushed all the way, ran back to the Ma Mansion, asked the concierge, and learned that Ma Qianli had gone to the Yamen. He hesitated at the door, feeling that if he told Mrs. Ma about this matter first, he was afraid that no problem would be solved. So, he got on his horse again and hurried to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
After a short time, Han Ye ran to the Ministry of Rites, but when he inquired again, he learned that his master was not in the Ministry of Rites, and after o'clock in the morning, he went to Chengtianmen with the team. This time, all the ministries have officials promoted, and today I am going to see the emperor, thank you for the grace of heaven, Ma Qianli is naturally among them, so he is not in the Ministry of Rites.
Han was also so anxious that he was sweating, it was really unfortunate, how could that Chengtianmen be a place where ordinary people could go, it was the main gate of the palace! But what the old man specially instructed, he must do as a servant!
To go to Chengtianmen, he didn't have the courage to run a horse on Chengtian Street, so he had to dismount and walk towards Chengtianmen. After walking for a long time, I came to Chengtianmen.
Chengtianmen is the main gate of the imperial palace, and the waiting place for ministers to go up to the court. There are a lot of people waiting to be met in front of Chengtian Gate today, there are about 200 people, some are civil and military, some are old and some are young.
Han also stubbornly approached the small square in front of the door, he also knew the rules, and did not run directly to find someone, but first found a soldier standing guard on duty, and asked with a smile: "This brother, I am the family of the Ministry of Rites and the family of Ma Qianli, and I want to find him in an emergency, can you help me call him?" ”
The soldier glanced at him, did not speak, but shook his head, he was standing guard on duty, how could he leave his post without permission, and go over to call someone for Han.
Han also asked again: "Then can I go over and talk to my master?" ”
The soldier still did not answer, and an officer came up and asked, "What's the matter, who are you, what are you talking about here, don't you know that this is a forbidden place?" ”
Fu also hurriedly repeated what he had just said to the soldiers. The officer sighed and said, "It turns out that you are the family of Master Ma, since there is an urgent matter at home, then I will take you to see him, he must not be in the first row for his promotion this time!" ”
The officer smiled and waved at Han Ye, and Han Ye hurriedly followed. The officer led him to the palace gate, and said in a low voice: "If it were someone else, I would definitely not bring him here, this is a taboo thing, and you don't want to think about it, is it the palace affairs that are important, or the family affairs are important?" ”
Han Ye accompanied him and said carefully: "Of course the affairs in the palace are important, no matter how big the things in the world are, they can't be too big!" ”
The officer laughed: "Yes, you are right. The emperor is the sky, and the affairs of his old man are naturally the most important. I'm going to open up today, you have to remember to thank me! ”
Han Ye hurriedly reached into his arms and wanted to take out the money. But the officer slapped his hand, signaled that it was not possible, and lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, my son will also participate in the scientific examination next year, but I have no friendship with your master, and you will introduce me later, let me make friends with your master, what do you think?" ”
Fu Ye was immediately overjoyed, no wonder this officer was so easy to speak, it turned out that he wanted to befriend my master, it seems that it is good to be an official. With power in his hands, there are too many people to rush to the gate of the palace!
He was busy and lowered his voice and said, "Of course, my lord has always liked to make friends with heroes like generals!" ”
The officer smiled and brought Han Ye to the front row of the officials' queue, in front of Ma Qianli.
Ma Qianli suddenly saw Han also coming, and he was overjoyed that he had found out the news so quickly. It is estimated that the emperor will have to wait for a long time to summon him, so there is no need to worry. When Han also came over, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, what is his expression?" ”
Originally, it could have been solved with one sentence, but Han Ye couldn't answer, so he had to say with a bitter face: "It's too detailed, go home and tell the master, but Miss's illness has a way to be cured." As he spoke, he took out the piece of paper in his arms and handed it to Ma Qianli.
As soon as he saw Han Ye take out a piece of paper from his pocket, the officer's interest suddenly came, stretched his neck, and came over to watch. The officials next to them were also very curious, and they all came over, anyway, everyone was waiting at the door, there was nothing left and right, Ma Langzhong's family had something to do, everyone was a newly promoted official, and there would be a lot of places to support each other in the future. It's a good time to take the opportunity to care for each other.
An official read: "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches come in spring" Well, this is a poem about lovesickness, why does Master Ma fall in love with whom, can you tell me to listen to it? ”
Listening to his colleagues' jokes, Ma Qianli said while reading the poem: "This is not a poem, it is a prescription, cure", cure that, it is really difficult to answer.
The officer smiled: "It won't cure lovesickness, right?" ”
Suddenly, someone behind me said: "Can lovesickness be cured, and there is still a prescription for medicine?" "The voice is very special, a bit of a duck's voice.
The officials immediately raised their heads, and saw a person standing outside the crowd, it was Shi Zhongzai, the chief administrator of the inner court! The officials hurriedly saluted together, and they all said, "See the chief manager!" ”
Although Shi Zhongchen is a eunuch, he has a grade, and his rank is higher than that of the newly promoted officials who were present at the scene. The Asian officials saluted," Diankou smiled and waved his hand, and said, "That's it, today is a day of great joy for all of you, so there is no need to be polite." ”
When he came out to deliver the decree, Emperor Li Shimin was discussing with the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling in the palace, and he was afraid that the discussion would not be finished for a while, so Li Shimin called him out and asked the officials not to wait for a while, and to go back to their respective yamen, so as not to delay their official business.
As soon as Shi Zhongchen came out, he saw a small group of officials gathered together, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he came to inspect it, and when he heard that he was sick, he asked casually.
The officer knew that Shi Zhongchen always went to the Ministry of Rites these days, and he especially liked to read poetry, and now that he had the opportunity, how could he not hurry up and pat himself on the back.
He stammered to Shi Zhongchen and said: "Boss, Ma Langzhong has won a good poem, everyone is appreciating, but he said that it is a prescription for lovesickness, we are wondering, it just so happens that you are here, or you will also come to see, is this a poem, or a prescription?" ”
Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "Do you have any poems, quickly bring them to our family, our family likes to read poems the most!" ”
Ma Qianli was helpless, so he had to hold the poem manuscript in both hands and hand it to Shi Zhongchen. Shi Zhongchen only glanced at the manuscript of the poem with his eyes, and was stunned for a moment, he hadn't read what the poem was written, but he was very familiar with the handwriting of this poem, just because of this handwriting, he had been tossed these days!
A few days ago, the emperor asked him to find the person who was mentioning the poem in the restaurant, in order not to leak the news, Shi Zhongchen hurriedly went to paint the poem first, and then went to the Ministry of Rites to inquire, and was busy for a long time, but he never found the person who wrote the poem, and he couldn't check the handwriting at all. For this matter, he also went to Qujiangchi to find someone, but he was allergic to pollen!
Fortunately, the emperor has been overwhelmed by the Turkic civil strife in recent days, and he has no time to ask about such a trivial matter as writing poetry. But he didn't do it well, he just didn't do it well, and he was still hanging in his heart, afraid that the emperor would ask about it on a whim one day!
As soon as he took over the poem manuscript today, his heart thumped and jumped wildly, and he checked it, it's this handwriting, absolutely yes!
Shi Zhongchen hurriedly said: "Who wrote this poem and where did you get it?" Master Ma, this poem can't be written by you, right? Let's look at your appearance" No matter how anxious he is, he didn't say what he shouldn't say, and the second half is: Your appearance is not obscene, and there is no feeling of a roe deer!
Ma Qianli thought to himself: "How could it be that I wrote it, I think he is confused, if I write it, how can I talk about it!" He hurriedly said: "Back to the general manager, this poem was not written by a lower official, but, but by a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam!" He still has a trace of luck in his heart, and wants to hide this matter, after all, it involves his daughter's **.
Shi Zhongchen's eyes lit up, the scholar who rushed to take the exam, it seems that he has found the right one, it is very likely that it is that person! He asked, "Who wrote this poem, Master Ma quickly tell it to our family!" ”
I can't hide it now, no matter how embarrassing I am, I have to say it! Ma Qianli stiffened his head and said: "It was written by Wang Ping'an of Xuzhou, and he is now staying in the Inspiration Temple." ”
Shi Zhongchen was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Wang Ping'an, but the Wang Ping'an who the prince summoned into the capital?" "He knows this Wang Ping'an, isn't it the one who wrote the yellow dog and the white dog, and he made the emperor laugh!
Ma Qianli's scalp became harder, so he had to say: "This" Xia Guan did not go to personally verify it, but he couldn't be sure if there was a person with the same name! ”
Shi Zhongchen said loudly: "This Wang Ping'an, who writes poetry, can he understand medical skills? Ah, you say that this poem is a prescription, is it really a prescription? ”
Ma Qianli couldn't hide anymore, so he had to say: "Yes, this Wang Ping'an's medical skills are extremely high, and he once defeated the Taiyi Department, and is known as the first in Chang'an!" ”
Shi Zhongchen smiled, that's this person, Wang Ping'an has good medical skills, and it is with this ability that he was summoned to Chang'an by His Royal Highness the Prince!
He looked at the poem manuscript in his hand, and had the heart to hurry back to the palace to report to the emperor, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so for the sake of safety, he said: "Is this a poem or a prescription, let's read it out for everyone to hear, and you will also come to evaluate and evaluate!" ”
There were more than 200 officials at the gate of the palace, and all of them were upstarts, so naturally they were all knowledgeable.
Shi Zhongchen cleared his throat and read: "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches come in spring."
After only reading two sentences, some of the officials said: "It's a poem, how can this be a prescription!" ”
"May you do more, this thing is the most lovely." Shi Zhongchen finished reading the poem and asked, "Let's talk about it, how is this poem written?" As soon as he finished reading it, he understood that this was definitely not a prescription, but a good poem.
How can the officials not know the goods, an official smiled: "Lovesickness is shared by everyone." This poem is wonderful in holding red beans, sending acacia, symbolizing comparison, this is the best way to write poetry, and this poem is the best work, enough to pass on to the world! ”
The other officials also nodded, and unanimously praised this poem for its wonderful, absolutely good poem, quietly for future generations, there is no problem at all!
Shi Zhongchen laughed, flicked his fingers at the manuscript of the poem, and thought: "Finally let me find it, Wang Ping'an, this time I'll see where you are going!" ”
