Prologue to the First Number One Scholar of Southern Chu "It's really a good painting. The misty waves are vast, the lonely boat is lonely, and the brushwork is extraordinary." I nodded indifferently in appreciation. After all, my identity is here, so I can't be too rude. Doing things for others is not it. With my status and status, I can help with some things with little effort. For some things, it is better to stand by and watch. Although His Majesty is still very wise now, one must always think that he is over seventy years old. , I heard that the throne will be passed on to the emperor's grandson next year. What if he is old and confused and becomes suspicious of a veteran like me?Liu Zhen, the middle-aged man who gave the gift, saw my expression, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and said cautiously: "Old man, my nephew's father is old and confused, so he shouldn't write books carelessly. , and for the sake of being a minister in the same hall, say a few good words to my father, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace." "Really, brother Wenju wrote something, show me quickly, I am very happy Do you like Brother Wenju's writing style?" I'm intrigued. Back then, he and his old man Liu Kui Liu Wenju were both Jinshi candidates. I was the number one scholar and he was the second. But to be honest, I admire his writing very much. The writing is rigorous and the historical evidence is accurate. If he is not too stubborn and refuses to serve the second lord, the post of historian of this dynasty is definitely in his pocket. I heard that he is writing "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties" a while ago. I was looking forward to it, but there was no news recently.With an embarrassed expression on Liu Zhen's face, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.I opened it and saw that there were four big characters "Southern Dynasty and Chu History" written on the light blue cover. I opened it excitedly and read it, completely forgetting that there were outsiders in the house.After I finished reading ten lines at a glance, I couldn't help but smiled wryly, Brother Wen Ju really didn't show mercy to me.Lazily put down the book, and said in a rambling voice: "Nephew, you go back first, I have to study this matter carefully, you know, the old man has not been involved in political affairs for many years."

After seeing off Liu Zhen, I called out loudly: "Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi." Following my call, an old man in a green shirt walked in from the door. He looked about forty years old and had a handsome appearance. He has a white face and no beard, this person is Li Shun, my close entourage for more than fifty years. He used to be an eunuch in the Nanchu Palace. I know about martial arts, but seeing that he is in his early sixties, he looks like a middle-aged man, so it should be true.In the past, some people didn't believe that a master like Li Shun would be loyal to a powerless scholar like me, and tried to bribe him, but I won't tell you about the tragic end, so that you won't be able to eat after hearing it.I asked with a wry smile: "Liu Kui is a survivor of Southern Chu. It's okay for him to say some exaggerated words. Why do the ministers in the court value them so much?" I'm about to succeed you. The Crown Princess is your eldest daughter. Who would want to please you at this moment? But Liu Kui is so stubborn. He insists on putting you in the Second Official Record, or you don't care about it. The Crown Princess and the emperor's grandson Decentness has to be maintained."

"Yes!" I suddenly realized that Liu Kui said in "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties" that I was "feminine and treacherous, with deep scheming", but who knew that I was a person who was not very sensitive to politics. If it wasn't for Xiao Shunzi If you mention something and my wise self-protection, I'm afraid it will be overwhelmed long ago.Thinking of this, I said lightly: "Go and tell Rou Lan that Liu Kui is the only survivor of Southern Chu, so why make things difficult for him, there are some things that others will say even if he doesn't say it, he wrote me "" "Jiang Suiyun's Biography" is a bit harsh, but it is still in line with the facts. He wrote it to avoid other people's scribbles. Besides, my affairs will not involve the emperor's grandson, so she needn't worry about it." Xiao Shunzi respectfully Withdrew respectfully.

I opened "Jiang Suiyun Biography" with great interest and read it again. Although I haven't made a conclusion yet, it doesn't matter to read it in advance. In the 16th year of Xiande, Dingmao, the ruler of the country was slightly ill. In the autumn, he recovered from his illness. Kai Enke, Jiangnan scholars were happy, and followers were like a stream. On August 15th, the gold list was published. The champion was Jiaxing Jiangzhe. At that time, Suiyun's name had not yet been revealed, and everyone questioned him, but they knew him. Jiang Zhe, courtesy name Suiyun, was born in Wushen in the fourth year of the same Yuan Dynasty. His father Jiang Mu, courtesy name Han Qiu, Han Qiu was a young man from a poor family, but he was elegant and romantic, so his wife loved his daughter. , only taught his son to study all day long, Xiande has not been for eight years, Jiaxing plague, his wife died of illness, not long after, Hanqiu was cut off from his wife and family due to a small reason, he helped the sick and took his son to travel far away, to Jiangxia, Hanqiu was seriously ill, and Suiyun extended his medical treatment for him , Sangchen, the sage of medicine, Sangchen loved Suiyun Bowen and remembered it, and he taught it all. Not long after, the cold autumn gradually healed, Sangchen went to Jiangbei, served decoctions with the cloud, stayed in Jiangxia, Xiande eleven years Renxu , died of illness in Hanqiu, there are twelve volumes of "Qingyuan Ji" handed down from generation to generation, which are elegant and fresh, and are loved by people today.

Died in the cold autumn, Suiyun was poor and could not be buried. At that time, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Lu Shoujiang Xia, asked for a teacher for his son, and went to see him with the cloud. Lu Hou saw that he was young, so it was difficult, so he ordered him to write a book. It became "Autumn Water Fu", in which there is "Shaoyan, the moon rises above the Dongshan Mountain, wandering between the bullfights. The white dew crosses the river, and the water and light meet the sky. A reed is as long as it is, and Ling Wanqing is at a loss. The vastness is like Feng Xu Flying against the wind, but not knowing where it stops; fluttering as if left alone in the world, becoming a fairy and ascending to immortality." Lu Hou was shocked, thanked him when he got up, ordered his son to come out, and asked his teacher for advice.
