During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li Wen, who was smart and studious since he was a child, and Li Wen's talent was appreciated by the local prefect, and he recommended Li Wen as a talent and let him participate in the township examination. Li Wen was full of confidence, believing that this was a turning point in his life, as long as he could pass the examination, he would be able to enter Beijing to catch the examination, show his talents, and become an important minister of the imperial court. However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
Just the day before the release of the list, Li Wen suddenly fell seriously ill, he had a high fever and was unconscious, and the owner of the inn saw this and hurriedly invited a doctor. After the doctor's diagnosis, he said that Li Wen was overworked, which led to a lack of qi and blood, and his internal organs were damaged, and there was no cure for him, so he could only wait for death. The innkeeper and other guests felt sorry for Li Wen, and they comforted him, hoping that he would survive.
The next day, the news of the release of the list came, Li Wen really passed the exam, and he was among the best, and his articles were praised as quick and talented, and he could be called a generation of geniuses. The innkeeper and the other guests were very happy for Levin, and they told him the good news, hoping that he would cheer up. However, Li Wen did not react, he was still unconscious, as if he did not know his results.
At this moment, a sharp knock sounded, and the owner of the inn opened the door to see that it was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform and smiling. The innkeeper and the other guests were amazed, and they hurriedly let the prefect in and told him about Li Wen's situation. When the prefect heard this, he was very frightened, he walked to Li Wen's bed, looked at him carefully, then shook his head, sighed, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a talented man is going to die young, it's really jealous!" ”
The prefect said, took out a letter from his arms, and said: "This is my letter of recommendation to Li Wen, I originally wanted him to go to the capital to take the examination, strive to be admitted to the Jinshi, serve the imperial court, and contribute to the country, but I didn't expect him to fall ill, what a pity!" I think he must really want to go to the capital, he really wants to see the scenery there, and he wants to realize his ideals, right? ”
As he spoke, he put the letter in Li Wen's hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "Li Wen, don't worry, I will fulfill your wish for you, I will send your article to the capital, let everyone in the world know your talent, let your reputation spread all over the world, and you will definitely become a generation of Wenzong, immortal." ”
After speaking, the prefect stood up, said goodbye to the innkeeper and other guests, and said: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you, you take good care of Li Wen, if there is any need, just tell me, I will try my best to help." With that, he turned and walked out of the room, disappearing into the crowd.
The innkeeper and other guests were moved by the prefect's benevolence, and they returned to Li Wen's bedside, hoping that he could hear the prefect's words and miraculously **. However, Li Wen did not react, he remained unconscious, as if he did not know his fate.
At this moment, the letter in Li Wen's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the light became brighter and brighter, until the whole room was illuminated with snow-white. The innkeeper and the other guests were stunned, they didn't know what was going on, they could only squint and wait for the light to fade. After a while, the light gradually dissipated, and they opened their eyes, and to their surprise, Levien was gone, and only a letter was left on his bed, which read:
