It is rare for a fifty-year-old person to still live like a reckless child.

It is precisely because of his pure recklessness that his talents and poems will not have a trace of human fireworks. But the purer he lives, the more painful he becomes, and the world is too complicated to tolerate his simplicity.

The world is hard to force each other, he has also compromised, recommended by He Zhizhang, Li Bai entered the palace to become the edict of Hanlin, his function is not only to draft the edict for the Son of Heaven, but also for the Son of Heaven to be happy and write poems, that year he wrote a lot of poems that should be adapted to the situation and cater to the Son of Heaven and the concubine, such as "Music in the Palace", "Qingping Tune", etc., are all made by the call, while pleasing the Son of Heaven and the concubine, he is becoming more and more painful.

How can a person who is frank and free by nature be a shameless literati who is a sycophant and powerful? If it sounds good, it is called "the royal literati", and if it is ugly, it is a dog raised by the heavenly family who can write and write poetry.

Just one year later, Li Bai resigned and left Chang'an.

He was completely disheartened with the court and officialdom, and indulged in mountains and rivers to travel around the world, which was not an escape.

But after all, there is still a trace of the ideal of serving the country and benefiting the king in his heart, which has never been shattered. However, his character was not destined to be an official.

The clear roar in the night may be the catharsis that he can't express his life's aspirations.

Gu Qing looked at him with some sympathy, reading his poems in his previous life, they were all free and romantic, and in this life, he drank with him face-to-face, and even became his drinking buddy, and when he looked at him closely, he knew that behind his heroic and free image, there were also many pains that could not be explained.

Li Bai chanted the whole poem "Difficult to Walk", then staggered and knelt opposite Gu Qing, picked up the wine jar and handed it to him: "I have danced the sword for you, and you should drink this altar full, and live for the people of heaven and earth!" ”

Gu Qing was startled, and hurriedly shook his head: "If you don't drink it, if you don't drink it, you will die." ”

"Duh! The virtuous brother drank and cheated and cheated, not a gentleman! Li Bai shook his head vigorously and said: "Yesterday you went to the porcelain kiln, I looked for that Song Xiandi, Song Xiandi told me that the Mid-Autumn Festival poem was actually written by you, hum, drinking is not honest, being a person is not honest, such a good word, why don't you dare to admit it?" ”

"Brother Taibai, you didn't ask," Gu Qing said innocently: "If you point to my nose and ask, who wrote that poem, I may admit it, but you only asked me for wine to drink, and you said that if you have wine, you are a confidant, what a confidant, obviously a friend of wine and meat." ”

Li Bai didn't care so much, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into Gu Qing's mouth, Gu Qing refused left and right, and the wine spilled all over.

I seriously suspect that the famous "Eight Immortals in Drinking" in history, and the few people who are still alive are all so forcibly poured out of their reputation by Li Bai, and they are too embarrassed to say it to the outside world, so they have to pinch their noses and admit that they are the Eight Immortals in Drinking.

"Alright, alright, stop! It's too white and slow. Gu Qing couldn't stand it: "Brother Taibai likes to drink so much?" ”

Li Bai sighed: "If there is no wine, how can life be happy? Wine is my life. ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "In a few days, I'll make you a little good wine, a really good wine, one sip will make you fluttering......"

Li Bai's eyes lit up: "What wine?" ”

"I don't have a name, I burn a knife, I suffocate a donkey, I have gentle years or something, I can call it whatever I want." Gu Qing didn't care about the authenticity.

Li Bai frowned: "You are also a genius who made Mid-Autumn Festival words, why are you so rude?" One is worse than the other. ”

"Gentle years are also ugly?"

"Ugly!"

Li Bai sat half-lying on the straw mat in the middle of the courtyard, carrying the wine jar and pouring wine into his mouth, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Taibai, I'll send you a poem." ”

Li Bai immediately sat up straight: "A talented man is a poem, and the world is lucky." Taibai is willing to listen to it. ”

Gu Qing said again: "As for the poem, I won't write it, the words are too ugly, and the ugliness is so ugly that people and gods are angry, and I vomit when I see it." I read it out, and Brother Taibai listened to it. ”

"Brother Xian, hurry up, Brother Fool can't wait." Li Bai looked at him longingly, he was only serious about two things in his life, one was wine, and the other was poetry.

Gu Qing stood up, looked at the silent and dark night sky with his hands, and slowly chanted: "Those who abandon me, yesterday's day cannot be left." Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. The long wind sends autumn geese thousands of miles, and you can be a tall building for this. Penglai's article is built on the bones, and Xiao Xie is clear in the middle. All of them want to fly with great joy and want to go to the blue sky to see the bright moon. The water is more flowing when the knife is drawn, and the glass is more worried. Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. ”

Li Bai wrote it down sentence by sentence, and after Gu Qing finished chanting, Li Bai still closed his eyes and savored it, and suddenly his expression was shocked, like being killed by thunder, and he looked at Gu Qing with his eyes open, and his eyes were red unconsciously.

Gu Qing sighed and said: "Brother Taibai, you and I have only known each other for a few days, these days I have watched Brother Taibai's eyebrows and knots, and it is difficult to express the knots in my heart, you have the ambition of Lingyun, but why not allow it to be in the world, so why not let go of your mind and be at peace with what you encounter?" I will give this poem to Brother Taibai, and I will say it in a shallow and deep way, Brother Taibai should not blame me Meng Lang. ”

"Brother Taibai's talent is enough to be proud of the past and the present, thousands of years later, above the history, your reputation is better than that of thousands of emperors and generals, why bother to be self-indulgent and depressed? The temple is lofty and unquestionable, how can it be compared to the freedom of the rivers and lakes, and indulge in solitude. ”

Li Bai didn't seem to hear Gu Qing's consolation, he just chanted the poem repeatedly, and then praised: "Good poem!" Poetry is like a whimsical, the dragon goes to sea, among which the anger of the talent is not encountered, and there is the fierce feeling, and the meaning of consolation, twists and turns, ups and downs, the world's poetry can be ranked in the top ten, Gu Xian's brother is talented! ”

After speaking, Li Bai's body shook, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly lowered his head, and Douda's tears fell on the placket of his clothes one by one.

"'Life is not satisfactory in the world', only Gu Xiandi knows me, occasionally travels in the mountains and wilderness, and can actually meet his life confidant, Li Taibai's greatest luck in this life. The virtuous brother gave poems to inspire his feelings, and Li Taibai couldn't repay him, so let me worship. ”

After speaking, Li Bai got up, straightened his clothes, and officially threw himself to the ground towards Gu Qing.

Gu Qing hurriedly got up and returned the salute, feeling slightly guilty in his heart.

The poem just now was actually Li Bai's, but he hadn't made it yet, and Gu Qing let it be published in advance.

Gu Qing just felt that this poem could comfort Li Bai's mood. A few years ago in Chang'an Xingqing Palace, full of talent but not reused, was raised as a pet by the heavenly family, only one year of Hanlin to be edicted and resigned, I can't imagine how the arrogant Li Bai spent that year, how much humiliation he endured.

In just one year, the indelible knot left by Li Bai's entire life, after leaving Chang'an, he was debauched and indulged in indulgence, and the root cause was difficult to calm after all.
