Chapter 187: When Lang will be embarrassed
For the poets of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Jin had never heard of the names of Wei Ji and Yan Wei, but only Li Du and others were like thunder. Since these two were both accompanying guests, Qin Jin naturally couldn't lose his courtesy, so he stood up from his seat again, bowed to the two of them and said, "Long admire the two great talents! Disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Obviously, Pei Jizhi's gaffe made the two escorts very embarrassed, Yan Wei waved his hand a little embarrassed and said: "Where, where, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Wei Ji said calmly: "General Zhonglang is talented, Xin'an broke the rebellious thief soldiers, and captured the rebel general Cui Qianyou, who is really a talent for entering the prime minister, but Wei Moujie is famous, embarrassed, embarrassed." ”
Pei Jizhi laughed.
"Brother Wei said well, General Zhonglang is a talented person, come on, you guys do this!"
If it is said that this Pei Jizhi is really elegant, even the wine and food utensils are in an antique style, and the ordinary banquet is just a wine cup and wine bowl, but he has put on a wine jue, which is also surprising.
This little embarrassment was quickly overcome.
During the banquet, Pei Jizhi occasionally said some innocuous jokes, but Wei Jizhi was quite good at mediating the atmosphere, and always mobilized everyone's emotions just right, which did not make Yan Wei, who was not good at words, feel embarrassed, and also made Qin Jindun, who had just arrived, feel at home. It seems that Wei Ji is the master of this banquet, and Pei Jizhi is just an uninhibited escort.
Having said that, Wei Ji is indeed a qualified escort. I didn't expect that Pei Jizhi's wine bag and rice bag could actually make friends with such a character. So, Qin Jin also put away his contempt for Pei Jizhi a little, there is a kind of person who is born wise and foolish, what if this person is outstanding?
When his ears were hot and drunk, Qin Jin also knew a lot about the experiences of Wei Ji and Yan Wei in his speech. This Wei Ji is really a famous family, as the third son of the former prime minister Wei Sili, and he has been a household waiter, and his experience is decent. It's a pity that I didn't know how to annoy Prime Minister Yang Guozhong last year, so I had to stay at home.
Speaking of the unhappiness of officialdom, Wei Ji's face showed infinite loneliness, and it was obvious that he was a person who was unwilling to be lonely.
And at this time, Qin Jin also knew a little, maybe Wei Ji and Pei Ji's relationship might be planning to follow the path of the eldest princess of Huo Guo and go out again.
It is not surprising that officialdom is not surprising, Qin Jin has long been accustomed to this, and even many of the sages and talents in the previous generations were introduced by people when they came out, so they were able to show their talents.
As for Yan Wei, he is much more ordinary, he is also a little famous in Yuezhou, he was recommended by the assassin history, and he wants to enter Beijing as an official, but he doesn't want the gap between the reality of officialdom and his imagination too big, but he is still on the road of hard searching.
But there is one point, the two escorts, whether Wei Ji or Yan Wei, never cover up their frustration and discouragement. In Qin Jin's view, this is a rare sincerity when he is alive.
You must know that the best face in the world is willing to expose his shortcomings in front of the living people he met for the first time, and this alone made Qin Jin's favor greatly increased.
The topic turned again and again, and somehow, it turned to the current situation.
I only heard Wei Ji sigh angrily:
"Although the thief rebels against the sky, it stirs up chaos in half of the world, but I don't know how many years it will take to restore the old view!"
Qin Jin secretly said: If according to the course of history, from then on, the Tang Dynasty was completely devastated, and the land of China was either dying by civil strife, or it was humiliated and stolen under the iron hooves of foreign tribes, until six hundred years later, there was a cowherd baby named Zhu Chongba to revive the prestige of China, but compared to the Tian Khan of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was also dwarfed.
Before, Qin Jin had never looked at it like this. Now that I look at it, the conclusions drawn are extremely discouraging. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the land of China has ceased to be the grand occasion of all countries coming to court.
However, this cannot be said to outsiders, otherwise it would be strange not to be regarded as crazy.
"Hey! Brother Wei's words are wrong, the thief is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and the old minister of Brother Shu is sitting in Tongguan, how can he let him get a bargain? As long as he uses it for another seven or eight years, why worry about not returning to the old prosperity! Besides, are you and I still in the prosperous world now?"
Wei Ji waved his hand and smiled, but did not argue with it, only raised his head and drank it.
Yan Wei, who has rarely spoken, said: "The so-called not in his position does not seek his own government, and the state affairs are frequent, and they are controlled by their own ministers." If we go to the church one day to worship the generals, where will we have such a leisurely and happy opportunity?"
After all, he also raised the wine and drank it all.
This statement also made Qin Jin's eyes shine, indeed, although the world says that the leader of the national disaster is responsible, but even if the person who is not in his position has a thousand words, it is only on paper. Only when one really shoulders this burden can one have the qualifications to discuss and dispose of it. And at that time, can he still rebuke Fang Xuan so unscrupulously? I am afraid that he will have to be exhausted and cautious every day.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but blush, he himself often didn't measure himself, and he always talked on paper.
But I heard Pei Jizhi's voice sound again.
"Ha, Brother Zheng'an's words are very much in line with my wishes, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful, tomorrow is sorrowful, how can the great scenery be wasted all day long!"
Speaking of this, Pei Jizhi suddenly turned his face towards Qin Jin again.
"Zhonglang will come from Xin'an, and he has fought with the rebels, so it is better to talk about a few happy things to kill the enemy, what do you think?"
Wei Ji and Yan Wei immediately high-fived and said: "This is very good, please Zhonglang General!"
Qin Jin sighed secretly, Pei Jizhi was born in the house of the eunuch, grew up in the hands of a woman, and never knew the suffering side of war, but only from the words he got from the book, he thought wishfully that the so-called war was nothing more than killing on the battlefield, and being happy with revenge.
"So let's say a thing and toast it!"
He endured his temperament, and told the experience of how Xin'an burned the Soohe Valley, burned and killed tens of thousands of Hu soldiers in a battle, and everyone who listened was enthusiastic and high-fived.
Indeed, if you dare to unite with more than 1,000 soldiers, you can kill tens of thousands of elite enemies in one battle, even if the ancestors of the soldiers are resurrected, they dare not guarantee that they will be able to achieve full success.
Wei Ji and Yan Wei both applauded this attack from the bottom of their hearts.
After laughing for a while, Pei Jizhi said unsatisfactorily:
"Today's interest is so good, why don't you write poems and think of them?"
Wei Ji and Yan Wei immediately stopped talking, and Pei Jizhi's words had the meaning of exposing people's shortcomings. Most people in the world only know that Qin Jin is a military general who leads troops and is a rough man. Wouldn't it be a short remark to let a rough man who has no knowledge and no skills compose poetry in front of others?
Wei Jigang wanted to change the topic, but Pei Jizhi looked at Qin Jin with a smile.
"What will Zhonglang think?"
Qin Jin bowed and said: "You are all poets, Qin is still clumsy!"
But Pei Jizhi seemed to be deliberately trying to trick Qin Jin and chased after him.
"Hey, I heard that Zhonglang is going to enter the Shidenke in the year, but don't be modest!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Ji and Yan Wei were taken aback, and they didn't know much about Qin Jin's experience. Although the Jinshi in this year did not have much status, even if he won the champion, he could only be a county lieutenant in Gyeonggi County. But there is one point, there is a saying nowadays, thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi.
The main test of the Jinshi subject is poetry and songs, if there is no talent, even if the test is not a lifetime, it may not be able to get it, so there is only fifty years old Dengke is still a young Jinshi.
At this time, if you are particularly surprised, it is disrespectful to the guests. Although Wei Ji and Yan Wei were both surprised, they all chose to remain silent again.
Pei Jizhi was also like this on a whim, although he knew that Qin Jin was a Jinshi of the past year, but he had never seen Qin Jin's poems with only a few words circulated in the world. Coincidentally, a few days ago, he met a Jinshi who had been on the same list as Qin Jin, and when it came to Qin Jin's Dengke and the first, there was only the word "luck".
Qin Jin's fellow Jinshi is fairly evaluated, if it is said that Qin Jin's Ming Jing skills are extraordinary, but in terms of poetic talent, it is unsatisfactory.
Therefore, Pei Jizhi wants to see if the rumors are true.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't excuse me. After that, he pointed to the maid beside him and said, "Don't put pen and ink on the table?"
Since Pei Jizhi pointed out the identity of Qin Jin's Jinshi Dengke, Wei Ji and Yan Wei no longer had any reason to refuse, but only responded to the same voice and listened to it.
Pei Jizhi was proud, got up and left the bed, paced around the room, and patted his head again: "Why don't you take 'spring' as the theme?"
Wei Ji said: "Very good!"
When it comes to poetry, Wei Ji and Yan Wei immediately showed an unusual self-confidence, which is obviously very good at them. However, Qin Jin was unhappy in his heart.
Qin Jin Zhong got the Jinshi, which was all obtained by the original Qin Jin in the examination, and it had nothing to do with him. Although he inherited the memory of the original Qin Jin, he failed to inherit the ethereal thing of poetic endowment.
But because Pei Jizhi did it intentionally, he could only respond hard, and it was not good to disturb the atmosphere, but his patience was being consumed bit by bit.
I saw Wei Ji and Yan Wei thinking about it for a while, and then some poems blurted out and recited, although they were all ordinary words and phrases such as fragrant and tender grass, too late in spring, and flying flowers in the garden trees, they also sounded like they had their own flavor.
Wei Ji was the first to pick up the pen, but when he saw the ink splashed, the pen walked away and the dragon and snake, and he wrote an article in the blink of an eye. Yan Wei on the side is not inferior to Wei Ji at all, and his pen is steady......
"General Zhonglang, why don't you still put pen to paper?"
Pei Jizhi smiled brightly, and his eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Seeing that this guy was deliberately playing tricks and being so pressing, Qin Jin was completely annoyed, after all, he was also this person's savior, why bother teasing him like this?
At this moment, behind the screen of the hall came the sound of an old woman coughing. When Pei Jizhi heard this, he immediately shuddered.
