Jinling City, Xu Mansion.

This is a courtyard with five in and five out of five out of the city, and it is quite large, especially in Jinling City, a capital city where every inch of land is valuable. It is only two miles away from the imperial palace. It has a special location and a courtyard of such a large scale. It is not something that ordinary gentry and rich people can do, but it must be a mansion of the powerful.

This Xu Mansion is the mansion of Xu Xuan, a member of the current dynasty, who worked as a member of the Central Secretariat and Hanlin Grand Secretary.

Speaking of Xu Xuan, this is also one of the literary masters of the Shilin, Jiangnan. He was able to write essays at the age of ten, had a high literary talent, was as famous as Han Xizai, and was known as "Han Xu" by the people in Jiangnan. After returning to the Song Dynasty, Xu Xuan was ordered to essay "Shuowen Jiezi" with Ju Zhongzheng, Ge Tuan, Wang Weigong and others of the Northern Song Dynasty. This can be said to be a great contribution in the history of literature.

Since Li Yu ascended the throne, he has relied heavily on the Xu Xuan and Xu Kai brothers who are outstanding in literary talent. After all, in terms of literary knowledge, when Li Yu was a prince, he heard these great scholars teach in the palace and admired their knowledge.

Today, many court officials came to the Xu Mansion to attend the banquet, and they were invited by Xu Xuan to gather at the mansion to welcome Han Xizai's arrival.

Tongping Zhangshi, Deputy Envoy of the Privy Councilor Yan Xu, Hanlin Academy Secretary Xu Kai, Zhong Mo, Minister of Rites, Li Deming, Minister of Works, Gao Yue, Minister of Rites, Zhong Xu, Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, Chen Tao, Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Decheng, Chief Censor of the Censorate, Zhang Yi, Minister of Justice, and others all came. They can be said to be the main figures of the Sun Party. Those who are alive all came to attend the banquet.

Most of these people were happy and were delighted that Han Xizai could be re-activated and returned to Jinling City to become an official.

After all, the three backbones of the Sun Party in the Southern Tang Dynasty were Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi and Han Xizai. Now the first two have passed away, only Han Xizai is alive and highly respected. In the political group of Qiaoyu people in the north, Han Xizai is currently a well-deserved leader.

"Congratulations to Brother Han for his successful return to Beijing this time, and he will be entrusted with it for reuse!"

"Yes, Brother Han was sent by the government to visit the cottage three times before he was invited out of the mountain again, which shows the importance of the government."

"With Brother Han here, the current Chaogang can be purged again, and there is no need to be successful by those villains of the Song Party."

These people still admire Han Xizai's ability and skills as an official. In addition to Han Xizai's knowledge, the most important thing is that he dares to speak and do, has courage and means. Although the other officials of the Sun Party have good literary literacy, their political sense and skills are not good at it.

Xu Xuan was nearly fifty years old, mature and steady, and exuded a wise and knowledgeable temperament. He asked Han Xizai: "Brother Han, I heard that you are in Runzhou City and have a strong relationship with Su Chen, which has become a friend of age. I wonder if it is true?"

Han Xizai stroked his beard and laughed: "Yes, Yixuan and I hit it off at first sight, had a strong relationship, and had already persuaded him to join us as a trump card weapon!"

The Chief Censor Li Decheng said in a little puzzled manner: "Is this Mr. Su really that amazing talent? He is proficient in poetry and articles, and knows how to investigate things, make porcelain, treat smallpox, and break the belly. It is really incredible."

Chen Tao sighed to the staff: "That's right, this is so broad that it can be learned and omnipotent. How could there be such a geek in the world?"

Han Xizai was even happier when he heard everyone's comments. After all, Su Chen was discovered by him, which was equivalent to his own disciple. At present, his concern for Su Chen is even more important than his own son.

He laughed and said, "You can't believe this. Most of it was because I saw it with my own eyes or heard it with my own ears. I sent someone to investigate and verify it. It was indeed his own hands, and he made it himself, and there were all certification evidence. According to my husband, Yixuan's talent may be just the tip of the iceberg, and he still has more talent to explore. Our Sun Party camp has gradually withered as the older generation has passed, and it is lacking such young talents to top it up. Now Yixuan joins, he is alone, better than the combined effect of all the talents in the three list of Jinshi in the Spring Festival, which is really rare!"

"It's just the tip of the iceberg, and the talent has not yet been revealed?"

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed even more, their eyes were full of hotness, and they became even more curious.

Xu Kai and Gao Yuan both saw Su Chen's style in Runzhou, so they nodded slightly and believed in Han Xizai's evaluation.

The others were half-believing, half-doubted, but were highly anticipated.

On the same day as Ping Zhang, the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Yan Xu asked: "Since Mr. Su is such a genius, how do Brother Han plan to use it?"

Han Xizai hesitated for a moment, and glanced at everyone, thinking that they were all confidants and old friends for many years, so he didn't hide it. He explained: "You can't pull out seedlings to help grow. When the cycle is gradually activated, otherwise it will easily encourage pride and be attacked by others. I have planned to let him participate in the autumn examination, first pass the government test, come to Jinling to participate in the spring examination in the spring, if you can enter the first class, you will be able to successfully enter the Hanlin Academy for a year, be familiar with the operation of various departments and institutions of our Tang Kingdom, the affairs procedures of the court, etc., and then transfer it out to several important departments of the six ministries, such as the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War, each walking for three months, to improve his horizon. This is one of them."

"In addition, during the training of Hanlin and the Six Ministry, Su Chen led a Gewu Academy to create various commodities, invested in official kiln workshops for processing and production, foreign trade increased fiscal revenue, and continuously earned copper and silver from overseas and states, and supplemented the shortage of the treasury. After three years, the treasury was full, and the army could be expanded, resisted the invasion of the Song army to the south, and at the same time, it was found that the opportunity to conquer and destroy the Yue Kingdom and expand our territory. The coastal areas of Minyue could be made. Our Tang Dynasty court needed to master the salt field and make up for the shortcomings!"

"So that's it!" After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Han Xizai had such great expectations for Su Chen.

"With Master Su's talent, he is proficient in poetry, lyrics, and songs, it is not difficult to win the top scorer."

"Well, as long as you don't write off topic, it shouldn't be difficult!"

Although these ministers were in Jinling City, Su Chen's collection of poems and essays and Liu Hou's theories have been read by these people, and they are all amazed. Such talent is rare in the world.

Han Xizai smiled slightly and said, "So, I have chosen the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel this time. We must help him to ensure that no one is interfering with it, and to protect Su Chen's top scorer!"

"By the way, Brother Han mentioned in his letter that he would invite Su Chen to Jinling in a few days and enter the palace to treat the queen?"

Han Xizai nodded and said, "Yes, it's decided to be a month later. When the imperial physicians are helpless, the officials are most urgent. Let's make plans, give advice and recommend Su Chen to treat the disease."

"Is he confident?" Zhang Yi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, asked.
