Jia Sheng
**Jia Sheng**
Li Shangyin
The Hall of Spread Virtue sought the worthy, visited the banished minister;
Jia Sheng's talent and charm surpassed all others.
Pitiful—at midnight, the mat was emptied, leaning forward in earnest;
He asked not of the common people, but of ghosts and spirits.

宣室求賢訪逐臣
賈生才調更無倫
可憐夜半虛前席
不問蒼生問鬼神
宣室求賢訪逐臣,賈生才調更無倫。
可憐夜半虛前席,不問蒼生問鬼神。
