When Yang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Menzi's words seem to say - congratulations, your ticket won the jackpot, but now I regret to inform you that your ticket has expired.

The man in white's face instantly became ugly.

"Didn't Zhang Linggong go back on his word?"

The man in white was also angry and asked directly.

Unfortunately, his questioning had no effect.

Originally, the rules were set by Zhang Jiuling, and all the interpretation rights of this event were in Zhang Jiuling, and Zhang Jiuling said that outsiders could not do anything after the event.

Zhang Yingqi saw Yang Yun looking at the man in white, and turned his head sideways to remind: "Don't pay attention to these sour and rotten scholars who came to visit...... There will be a lot of them in front of the house every day, but there was no such phenomenon in the past, that is, after the ancestor was appointed as the secretary of the order, there were inexplicably more such talents. ”

The implication is that these people do not admire Zhang Jiuling's talent at all, but are completely a group of literati who want to be opportunistic, and are ready to gain political convenience by currying up with Zhang Jiuling.

Yang Yun didn't think much about it, and entered the mansion with Zhang Yingqi.

As the gate closed, the man in white who was asking for a visit was completely blocked out of the gate, Yang Yun walked a few steps, suddenly realized something, turned his head and asked, "I don't know who that person was just now?" ”

Zhang Yingqi thought about it carefully and hesitated: "I have seen his prayer post, surnamed ...... It seems that the surname is Li, I don't know what it's called, the word is too white......"

The surname is Li, and the word is too white?

Yih!?

Isn't that the famous poet immortal Li Bai?

Yang Yun's head seemed to be knocked on by someone, and he was dizzy for a while, and he couldn't help but turn around and walk towards the gate.

"Daoist Yang?"

Zhang Yingqi didn't know why Yang Yun suddenly behaved gaffe for an irrelevant person, and turned around to go out regardless of the face of the master's family?

Yang Yun didn't bother to explain to Zhang Yingqi, he came to Datang since he came, not that he didn't want to meet celebrities like Li Bai or Du Fu, but these people basically don't stay honestly in their hometowns, but travel around while they are young, and almost all of them regard other places as their hometowns.

Yang Yun remembered going to Luoyang to find Yang Yuhuan before, although he thought that he might see these current writers in Luoyang, but he didn't put too much thought into it.

Who would have thought that he would meet Li Bai in front of Zhang Jiuling's mansion?

It's a pity that when the door was reopened, Li Bai had already left, and there was no one in front of the door, and Yang Yun suddenly felt a great sense of loss in his heart.

"Young Master, this ......?"

When Menzi saw Yang Yun open the door, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Yingqi who chased after him curiously.

Zhang Yingqi was also confused, and stepped forward to ask, "Isn't there something that Daoist Yang has not done?" Can you wait until you meet your ancestors? ”

Yang Yun asked the menzi; "I don't know where that Li Xianggong just now, where is Luoyang now?"

Menzi shook his head and said, "Where does the little one come from?" ”

Yang Yun was angry in his heart.

What do you say to send someone to ask for it, feelings are just a rhetoric, and I don't even know where people are staying, even if Zhang Jiuling really wants to give it to you, where can you find it?

Yang Yun wanted to chase after him, but he thought that Li Bai hadn't gone far, but he thought that it was more important than anything else to see Zhang Jiuling and eliminate the misunderstanding of this court boss, so he gave up.

In addition, he also knew that Li Bai was in Luoyang City, so there was no need to find him specifically and delay important matters, it was better to wait until he saw Zhang Jiuling, so as to clear the obstacles for the next participation in the imperial examination, just let He Wuliu and Wang Ji send people to find Li Bai, a great writer.

……

……

"If I can do it all over again, I will choose Li Bai, not so many people guess how well he did it hundreds of years ago; If I can do it again, I will choose Li Bai, at least I can write poems to surging, teasing girls; If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai, and my creation would be so high-end and admired by so many people......"

Yang Yun hummed an inexplicable tune in his mouth and followed Zhang Yingqi to the inner courtyard.

Zhang Yingqi was curious why Yang Yun cared so much about the Li Taibai just now, but Yang Yun prevaricated the past under the pretext of being an "old friend", Zhang Yingqi naturally couldn't figure it out, how could they not know each other if they were old friends? And with Yang Yun's age, how far can the old friend go? It's not the truth.

At this time, when he heard the slang tune humming in Yang Yun's mouth, he became more and more confused.

Zhang Yingqi took Yang Yun to the banquet hall in the atrium, and left first under the pretext of going to spread the word to Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling was busy with court affairs and had not yet returned from the Luoyang Palace at this time.

Half an hour after he returned home, Zhang Yingqi informed his grandfather of what happened in front of the mansion, and guided Zhang Jiuling to see Yang Yun.

Yang Yun finally met the prime minister who left a strong mark in the political and literary circles of the Tang Dynasty, and the last virtuous minister in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Zhang Jiuling was wearing a purple official robe, in good spirits, walking with vigorous steps, and his eyebrows were radiant.

Zhang Jiuling's demeanor naturally has nothing to say, it is said that in order to keep it neat and dignified, he has a very creative invention.

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty had to bring a wat board when they went to the court, which was a necessary tool for the courtiers to go to the palace to meet the emperor, or to write the words they wanted to report to the emperor in advance, or to record the emperor's instructions at any time.

And when the ministers of civil and military affairs go out to get on the horse or take the carriage, they all pin the wat board to their waists, just like the village man inserts a cigarette pouch. Zhang Jiuling felt that such a costume was a big spoiler, so he ordered someone to make a delicate bag, every time he went to court, he put the wat board into the bag, and then let the servant hold it in his hand and follow behind, he just walked with his head held high, and he no longer had to worry about where to put this superfluous thing.

As a result, the bag suddenly became popular and became a fashion.

Who doesn't like such a handsome old guy? Today's emperor is no exception, every day when he sees Zhang Jiuling's "majestic and beautiful" temperament is different from others, he sighs to the left and right: "Every time I see Zhang Xiang, I feel refreshed and refreshed." Later, every time the minister recommended him to be the prime minister, he would subconsciously ask: "Is your demeanor as Jiuling?" It seems that Zhang Jiuling has become a mirror for the imperial court to select prime ministers.

"Junior Yang Yun, I have seen Zhang Linggong."

Yang Yun saw Zhang Jiuling, who was dignified, and stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal Yang Yun to speak in the hall, and then walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Zhang Yingqi followed closely behind, standing beside the mat.

Zhang Jiuling saw that Yang Yun was close but did not enter the ground, and immediately reminded: "You can do whatever you want." ”

As Yang Yun, he definitely can't sit in the same place as Zhang Jiuling, which involves a series of issues such as etiquette and humility.

But since Zhang Jiuling was not seen, Yang Yun was not easy to excuse himself, so he went to the ground, and then knelt down in the guest seat, but he did not sit opposite Zhang Jiuling, and his eyes did not look at Zhang Jiuling.

A maid came in to serve tea, Yang Yun thanked him respectfully, and then lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling said: "The old man has been in the court for many years, and he has seen many young juniors, and it is very rare to know and observe etiquette like you." ”

Yang Yun understands that this period is not like the Song and Ming dynasties, where the poison of etiquette and religion to people is not so deep, and when ordinary young people see Zhang Jiuling, their mentality will inevitably change due to worship, and it is difficult to maintain etiquette.

Especially for readers, they are used to being wild and uninhibited, and they rely on their talents to learn, so it is really difficult for them to follow the rules.

Yang Yun replied seriously: "In the next book, I am a scholar, I dare not forget the teachings of the sage, I only do my part, and I can't afford to be praised by the public." ”

"Who did you study with?"

Zhang Jiuling asked casually, and then thought that this was a question that was not easy to answer.

It is known that Yang Yun's master is a real person of Wuzun, but apparently he is asking about Yang Yun's Confucian attainments.

Yang Yun replied: "I seek to learn from Wu Zun, and I want to study under Zhang Gong." ”

Yang Yun is just talking nonsense, when he came to this world, no one has taught him anything about learning, even the Taoism is his own reading and learning, and now he is completely perfunctory Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling didn't ask "Who is Zhang Gong", obviously Yang Yun's study has little to do with him.

"You came to Luoyang, did you seek Taoism, or did you enroll?" Zhang Jiuling asked again.

Yang Yun replied respectfully: "It is not only to seek the Tao, but also to enroll, in Hanzhou Township, South Jiannan Road, Xiaben, Zijing should be raised, hoping to pass the provincial examination......"

When he heard that Yang Yun was a township tribute, Zhang Jiuling's face looked slightly better.

He will inevitably think that he was worried that this person would not learn and not be such a good poet, but now he sees that he knows books and etiquette, and he is cautious in his words, and he also says that he is a township tribute, which is right.

But Zhang Jiuling still had doubts in his heart.

"The poem recited in public at the palace banquet of Princess Xianyi was written by you?" Zhang Jiuling asked directly.

Yang Yun did not hesitate and nodded: "Exactly." ”

"You ......"

Zhang Jiuling felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, not like he usually met those scholars, but more like interrogating prisoners in the yamen, but he still continued to ask, "What is your intention in writing that poem?" ”

Yang Yun thought to himself, you Zhang Jiuling is really good at putting on a score, even if you are the prime minister, how can you say that I am also a guest invited by you, this is your hospitality as a prime minister?

Endless questions?

Yang Yunzheng replied: "I admired Zhang Linggong below, so I wrote poems. ”

Obviously, Zhang Jiuling's words could not satisfy him.

"But ......"

Yang Yun changed his words and continued, "I also think that the situation in the court has changed, Li Xilang has been promoted to the saint, and there are often disputes between the court and the central government over the abolition of the crown prince...... Shouldn't the old man adopt his heart? ”

Yang Yun's words sounded like he was analyzing the situation, but he said it very cleverly, mentioning Li Linfu and the crown prince was all a passing touch, and it was enough to stop, and when he mentioned Zhang Jiuling, he only persuaded him to adopt his heart and cultivate his nature, obviously not saying everything.

And his words were a little rude.

Zhang Jiuling's face changed immediately, and Zhang Yingqi had already scolded: "Yang Daochang, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to say this, right?" ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "If Lao Linggong's old friend is concerned, it is naturally not suitable, but who is next?" is both a Taoist priest and a scholar, and now he is working for King Shou......"

Again, it's a clever one.

He is reminding Zhang Jiuling that your subordinates will naturally not remind you to relent, and he also thinks that you should recruit more friends and expand your influence in the DPRK.

The question is who am I?

I am King Shou's person, I belong to Concubine Wu Hui's faction, logically speaking, I stand on the same front as Li Linfu, I can say whatever I want!

This is already a good sound, but if you don't like it, you and I are political enemies.

"You ......"

Zhang Yingqi, who was on the side, was very angry, we invited you to come, did we just let you come to spread wild?

Zhang Jiuling was accustomed to seeing the market, and raised his hand to stop his grandson from questioning, and his tone was still very calm: "Listen to him." ”

Yang Yun was not so stubborn, and said bluntly: "Now Your Majesty Shengming, the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, but internal troubles breed, this is the so-called birth in sorrow and death in peace, and now the hidden dangers of the imperial court, one is the internal treachery, the other is the foreign captives eyeing the tiger, and the military power on the border of the imperial court has a tendency to fall into the hands of the Hu people......"

Yang Yun is familiar with history and is very clear about Zhang Jiuling's political views.

Zhang Jiuling is one of the few people in the Tang Dynasty who can clearly see the situation of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity and decline, and in his late political career, he proposed that the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty must be caused by the Hu people.

Of course, this proposition is still hidden deep in Zhang Jiuling's heart, and he has not said it in public, but this is very much in line with his thoughts.

Sure enough, after Yang Yun finished speaking, Zhang Jiuling's proud attitude decreased a lot, and he began to seriously ponder the deep meaning of Yang Yun's words.

Zhang Yingqi said: "Yang Daochang's milk has not dried up, and he is an outsider, and he has not entered the court, don't you think your hand is too long to say so much?" Furthermore, all this you have done is not the purpose of Taoism to be quiet and do nothing, right? ”

"The humble did not dare to forget the ...... of the country"

Yang Yun shook his head and sighed: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, seeing that the Tang Dynasty has the image of prosperity and decline, even if it is the next Taoist, he will try his best to reverse this situation." Moreover, although Zai Xia is not in the imperial court, there is a good saying, the authorities are fascinated bystanders, and as a bystander, Zai Xia sees some things and makes some kind reminders, and now he is taught by Zhang Linggong to say what he thinks, what is wrong? ”

"The humble did not dare to forget the country...... The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband...... Authorities fan? ”

Zhang Jiuling said a few golden sentences to Yang Yun in a row, and he was extremely surprised.

"The humble did not dare to forget the country" is from the Southern Song Dynasty Lu You's "Sick Book", which expresses the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people; "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband" is a famous sentence of the thinker Gu Yanwu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and finally "the authorities are obsessed with bystanders and the bystanders are clear" is a similar argument mentioned by Liu Yun in the Later Jin Dynasty when compiling the "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Yuan Xingchong".

Yang Yun said a sentence casually, and the famous sentence came out frequently, so Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but pay attention to Yang Yun.
