Bai Jingyue never expected that his first meeting with Wang Mang would be like this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In such a noisy restaurant, inexplicably, the eyes of the two people met.

Discovering this situation, Bai Jingyue reluctantly arched her hand in Wang Mang's direction.

Inexplicably peeking at others and being discovered, that is a sign of rudeness. If it is an ordinary person, forget it, this Wang Mang in front of him is the most honorable person in the Han Dynasty except for the emperor, Bai Jingyue has no choice but to bow his hand to show his respect.

Seeing Bai Jingyue's movements, Wang Mang smiled. Just when Bai Jingyue thought that this matter was over, Wang Mang walked straight in the direction of Bai Jingyue.

"Lord Wang?"

Seeing Wang Mang's abnormal movements, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled, and he couldn't directly ask Wang Mang what he was doing, so he asked in another way: "Lord Wang, do you still want the private room in the past?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's inquiry, Wang Mang directly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, and then sat directly opposite Bai Jingyue.

"I wonder why Lord Wang deigns to this?"

Shirai asked puzzledly, he shouldn't have done anything to attract the other party's attention.

Wang Mang looked at Bai Jingyue's slightly puzzled expression, and laughed: "Condescension? Shixian also looks down on himself too much. ”

Ha?

Bai Jingyue looked confused.

When did he have this title?

Wait・・・・・・ he did recite some verses, and lyrics.

Those words and phrases from the essence of later generations are absolutely rare in the world in this era.

However, he copied a few poems when he was in a good mood in the flower building and restaurant.

Probably wouldn't be so famous, would it?

Bai Jingyue is not familiar with history, so naturally he doesn't know that in this dynasty, scholars visiting flower buildings and restaurants, as long as they are not addicted to this, they will be regarded as scholars, and even many scholars who have not yet been born will linger in these fireworks places.

Naturally, Bai Jingyue's shocking poems were heard by these scholars who also sought elegance and elegance, and then spread them.

Bai Jingyue traveled all the way to the west, and before he reached Chang'an City, his poems have been sung all over the country. And Shirai Moon herself is also praised as a poet by many scholars.

Even Wang Mang had heard of Bai Jingyue's poems and admired Bai Jingyue.

With Wang Mang's intelligence ability, Bai Jingyue's appearance was naturally known to him, and he was still a little incredulous when he met Bai Jingyue before, but he quickly confirmed Bai Jingyue's identity.

After all, although there are many people in fancy clothes, and there are many people who imitate Shirai Tsuki's clothes now, it is the only one who has the same white hair as Shirai Tsuki.

Wang Mang was also very happy about such a chance encounter, and he also admired Bai Jingyue's [literary style], so Wang Mang came directly to the table where Bai Jingyue was.

What made Wang Mang even more unexpected was that it seemed that this poet immortal still didn't know how famous he was.

"Is that the one a poet fairy?

Hearing Wang Mang confirm Bai Jingyue's identity, those literati who were originally just suspicious but not sure couldn't help but praise Bai Jingyue.

"The name of the poet is really well deserved. ”

Shirai Moon was a little embarrassed. He sang these poems just because he was in high spirits and remembered those ancient poems that were famous in history, so he recited them, but he didn't expect that it would have such an impact.

"The poet fairy is really humble, now who in the world does not know the name of the poet immortal? Your Excellency's song "When is the Bright Moon in the Water Tune Song Head" recited by Chen Liusuo is really shocking, and I admire it very much. ”

"When is the Bright Moon" written by Su Shi, a famous poet of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that it has been sung for thousands of years, and even in the era when vernacular is used throughout, Huaxia still regards it as a compulsory song and song in textbooks.

And Bai Jing Yue, a few months ago, passed through Chenliu, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking of the girls who were still waiting for him in Takamagahara, Bai Jing Yue recited the words that he memorized back then.

The result is known to the world.

Even Wang Mang paid attention to Bai Jingyue, and began to search for the poems that Bai Jingyue had sung before, and paid more attention to Bai Jingyue.

"Lord Wang has an overreputation, but he is just a person who has nothing to do, and moans without illness. ”

"Why should Your Excellency be so humiliating yourself? Your talent deserves to be honored. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang suddenly discovered the problem. Just now Shirai Yue said that he is a person who has nothing to do!

This made Wang Mang interested.

For the prosperity of this country, in order to restore the Zhou rites, what he has to do is too dangerous and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. So, he needs more people to help him. And isn't the world-famous poet fairy in front of him a very good goal?

If it happens in the future, such a well-known figure with influence all over the country will definitely be of great help to himself, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Mang picked up the wine jug brought by the hotel shopkeeper just now, and poured a pot of wine for Bai Jingyue's empty cup.

"I wonder where you are now?"

"It's just a matter of wandering around the world. ”

Bai Jingyue sighed, pretending to be depressed, and at the same time quietly looked at Wang Mang.

It seems that his previous plan can be changed?

If you can catch Wang Mang's line, there is no need to wait for the world to be in chaos, just use Wang Mang's power to do what you want to do?

"Why don't you find something to do?"

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Shirai Yue sighed.

"On the way here, I encountered several waves of bandits, and they were all the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

When she spoke, Shirai Moon deliberately revealed some hatred in her eyes, and dissatisfaction with the current society.

Seeing Bai Jingyue's appearance, Wang Mang was even happier, because the more Bai Jingyue was dissatisfied with this society, the more she would support his approach.

In this regard, Wang Mang made up his mind.

"Your Excellency must have just come here, and you don't have a place to live, and there are still a lot of idle rooms in the mansion below, if you don't dislike it, you can stay in the humble house for a while. ”

"That's, that's a little wrong, isn't it?"

Shirai Yue pretended to hesitate, and at the same time quietly placed his left hand under the table and touched the tie around his waist.

This action was seen by Wang Mang.

This made Wang Mang think that the other party wanted to refuse, but because he was shy in his pocket, he didn't know how to choose.

Wang Mang smiled slightly: "If Your Excellency is worried about the future use, you can rest assured." Although I don't have a lot of money, I don't let my guests go hungry. I wonder what you think?"

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Shirai Yue stood up and clenched his hands into fists.

"Then it's going to bother Lord Wang. ”

After finishing the meal, the two of them left the restaurant together under the envious gaze of the people around them.

Following Wang Mang, Bai Jingyue left the market area and came to a mansion in a residential area, and the plaque in front of the mansion read "Wangfu".

Come to think of it, this is Wang Mang's mansion.

"Your Excellency, please. ”

Wang Mang led in front and walked into the mansion.

The houses in the mansion are next to each other, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Pavilions and pavilions, winding water. What a view.

"Lord Wang's mansion is really elegant. ”

"Haha, Your Excellency thinks elegance is enough. Come, let me take you to your room. ”

This matter can actually allow the people in the mansion to come, but for Bai Jingyue, Wang Mang attaches great importance to it. He knew very well how much a person with the name of [Poet Immortal] would be of great help to him in the coming period of time if he lived in his own mansion.

Halfway through, in the corridor of the courtyard, the two met a young man who was holding a book and reading at the same time.

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to say it. ”

Wang Mang pointed to the young man and said to Bai Jingyue: "In my mansion, there are many people who live here temporarily like Your Excellency. This is from the Chen family in Jingzhou and is a person who loves to read. His name is Chen De. By the way, I don't know your name at this time, and if you meet other people in the future, you can introduce you to them. ”

Shirai Tsuki's body was stunned.

After a while, Bai Jingyue sighed faintly: "If you have to have a title, here, my surname is Li." ”

It was a name that Shirai had almost forgotten. It has only been used for more than ten years, and it is completely incomparable to the name [Shirai Moon], which has been used for thousands of years.

But at this moment, Shirai Yue still reported the name. This name made him sigh leisurely and miss it a little.

"My name is Li Bing, a native of Yangzhou. Words: The word is the moon. ”

"I see, Mr. Li. ”

After learning Bai Jingyue's surname, Wang Mang quickly recalled that there is a family surnamed Li in Yangzhou now. However, seeing Shirai Yue's slightly sad appearance, he left first.

In this way, Bai Jingyue temporarily lived in Wang Mang's mansion.

A few days later, when she felt that the time was almost right, after Bai Jingyue finished the breakfast prepared by the subordinates, she grabbed a subordinate and asked where Wang Mang was.

"Master, the master has gone to the court, and will be back in about two hours. ”

After learning the news, Shirai Yue sat at the door and waited.

After a while, Wang Mang, who came back from afar with a gloomy face, saw Bai Jingyue standing at the door, his face suddenly changed, and he greeted him with a smile.

"I wonder if Mr. Li is used to living these days?"

"It's hard to sleep down there. ”

"Oh, I don't know why, if it is those who have neglected your lordship, I will punish them. ”

As he spoke, Wang Mang walked towards the mansion, looking like he really wanted to punish those subordinates.

"Lord Wang, slow down. ”

Bai Jingyue stretched out her hand to stop Wang Mang.

"It's not that there's anything wrong with the people, it's really the king's mansion that makes the people feel ashamed, so it's hard to sleep and eat. Lord Wang, do you need some manpower, although you are not a great talent, you can also be useful. ”

"If Your Excellency is willing to help me, it will really make you happy, but I don't know what position you want to live in?"

Wang Mang is not surprised that Bai Jingyue wants some positions, most of the people who live here in him will be a little embarrassed because they live here for free, and while taking on the favor, they are thinking about how to return this favor.

And most of these people will seek a position with him, and while gaining self-reliance, they can also help Wang Mang sort out the government.

"There's a reluctant request below. ”

Bai Jingyue looked at Wang Mang's expression and organized the words in his mouth at the same time.

The next request was the main reason why he agreed to Wang Mang's invitation and came here.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"In the next, I want to be a historian. ”

Bai Jingyue's request made Wang Mang a little surprised, in the past, these people asked for a half-official position, they would ask for some positions related to their own ability, it can be said that when arranging positions for these people, Wang Mang can also observe the ability of these people at the same time.

Arranged a position for Bai Jingyue, Wang Mang also wanted to know what other skills this poet immortal had besides chanting and singing.

But Shirai Moon is asking for a historian.

A historian who can be a historian as long as he has a rigorous attitude and a good memory.

"I don't know, Brother Li is talented, why do you want to be a historian? ”

"It's a little ashamed to say that I have learned a lot in my life and should serve the emperor's family, but I really don't want to go in the officialdom again. Now, I just want to see the shadow of the sages and explore the ritual system of the week. ”

Suddenly, the image of a person who was persecuted by the existing bureaucracy in the officialdom and respected Zhou Li appeared in Wang Mang's heart.

For Wang Mang, this can be described as hitting the bull's-eye.

Wang Mang, in addition to wanting to make the country stronger, also wants to restore Zhou Li.

Unfortunately, as an official, he did not have the power to restore the entire Han Dynasty to Zhou Li. Even, as the current saint Emperor Han Ai, did not agree with his idea.

This made Wang Mang feel lonely that although the road was right, there was only one person to move forward.

But I didn't expect to meet a like-minded person here.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to me. It just so happens that there are several vacancies in the history of the DPRK and China, and I will complete the formalities for Your Excellency today, and Your Excellency will be able to enter the Imperial History Pavilion tomorrow. ”

The next day, when Shirai Yue walked into the Imperial History Pavilion, which recorded the history of the past, he was a little excited, he really didn't expect that this seemingly troublesome matter could be solved so early.

Looking at the several people who were also working in the Imperial History Pavilion, Shirai Yue suppressed the excitement in his heart. Quietly waiting for the evening to come.

That night, Shirai Yue recommended herself to stay on duty for the night, and then after everyone left, she plunged into the sea of books.

Although the current books are all woven with bamboo slips, it is very inconvenient to read, but Shirai Moon is a person with special abilities.

He went directly to the bookshelf where the end of Shang and the beginning of the week were placed, and began to [read] the book with his perceptual ability.

If the mythology of China really existed, then the most famous battle of the gods would have been recorded.

Soon, the time for a few sticks of incense passed.

Bai Jingyue frowned slightly, and began to flip through the history of the end of the Warring States period and the early Qin Dynasty.

In the end, Shirai Yue left the Imperial History Pavilion with an ugly face.

He found a lot of information, but it was not very good.

From the records, Shirai Moon found that at first, human beings did not believe in the sky.

In the same way, rulers do not claim to be the Son of Heaven.

Heaven as a belief in all beings began in the Qin Dynasty. Until then, the day, did not exist.

And how did humans survive from the hands of youkai when the heavens didn't exist?

Before the Qin Dynasty, human beings must have had ways to protect themselves, or people who could protect them.

From the description of the change of Shang and Zhou, historical materials do record some shadows in mythology. For example, at that time, the Shang Dynasty had a state religion called Jie.

However, here's the problem, too.

In mythology, the Shang and Zhou dynasties changed because of the defeat of the Shang Dynasty in the Battle of the Gods.

However, in the record, it was in the middle of the Shang and Zhou wars that the sect disappeared. The Shang Dynasty, which had lost the support of the Sect, was no longer able to resist the allied forces of the world, and finally failed.

Even the cause of the war was because the king of Zhou did not obey the king and led his troops to fight. The so-called Daji never existed.

This is the beginning of the discrepancy between historical materials and mythology, and since then, the description of mythology has been almost impossible to check until the emergence of [Tian] in the Qin Dynasty.

The problem is that it is the interception of teaching.

Why did he leave and where did he go?

The puzzled Shirai Moon sighed.

It seems that those families are still going to make a trip. I hope those families have a more detailed description.

Especially about the interception of the religion, and the period from the departure of the interception of the sect to the appearance of the [Heaven], how did human beings survive?

The vague history of the Zhou Dynasty is also something that Bai Jingyue needs to explore.

As for now, let's be a leisurely historian and spend this boring time.
