Chapter 318: A Sword to Settle a Love (Part II)
Li Xun's series of official names were exposed, and the scene, which was still a little noisy, suddenly quieted down.
Everyone suddenly woke up to the fact that no matter what they thought of Li Xun, Li Xun was now a general guarding one side, and he held the power of the army, which was not something they could easily humiliate, and they did not have this qualification.
Liu Bishen glanced at Li Xun deeply, and then led him to the living room.
Today there is a court meeting, Liu Bihui's father Liu Zhigu and uncle Liu Chongji both went to the palace, and they are not at home at the moment, but there are still elders in the house.
A moment later, an old man in his fifties arrived, this person is named Liu Jiu, is Liu Bishen's second uncle, has done a state assassination history, but his health has been bad, riddled with diseases, three years ago, he was sick, and since then he has been idle at home.
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Jiu asked Li Xun about his intentions.
Li Xun said directly, half-jokingly, that he came to participate in the Minglan Poetry Club, but he was not allowed to enter because there was no invitation.
Hearing Li Xun say this, Liu Jiu laughed: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Fang Cai told me in private, you Li Dudu is in a bad mood, if the words are not right, let me not be surprised." ”
Li Xun smiled: "Old Liu, although I, Li Xun, am young, I am not so narrow-minded, don't listen to Liu Bi's nonsense." ”
Liu Jiu stood up and said, "It just so happens that at today's Minglan Poetry Club, the old man is the chief commentator, you can go with me." ”
Li Xun nodded, got up and left with Liu Jiu.
In fact, Li Xun didn't care at all about today's poetry meeting, the reason why he followed Li Xiao to Liu's mansion was that he wanted to meet You Min, and second, he was going to find Liu Bishen to show his attitude, no matter what happened to You Mingyuan in the end, his marriage with You Min would never change.
The You family and the An family have been married for generations, and the relationship is extremely close, but in You Mingyuan's generation, the relationship between the two families has changed somewhat, and the reason is that the two families have reached You Mingyuan and An Jian's generation, and they are already a little green and yellow, and good talents are scarce, whether it is An Jian's right waiter in the Ministry of Works, or You Mingyuan's left waiter in the Ministry of Officials, the two of them can achieve this position, not because of their own ability, but because of the support of their predecessors and the support of the family, and Zhao Zhi needs a balance in the court. Therefore, An Jian and You Mingyuan are the ones who can be in a high position, but this situation will not sink forever.
You Mingyuan's political ability is average, but his vision is far away, he sees this, so since he succeeded as the patriarch, he has made two major changes in the strategic development focusing on the family, one is to strengthen the family science, appoint people on the basis of merit, and vigorously explore and promote talented people among the children of the family. The second is to start to stay away from the An family, You Mingyuan understands very well that the two declining families, no matter how much they support each other, will not have much development, so You Mingyuan finally made up his mind to put aside the An family and start to marry with other powerful families and establish a close relationship.
You Mingyuan chose the Liu family, his two sons, one married Liu Zhigu's eldest daughter, and the other married Liu Chongji's second daughter.
The situation of the You family, Li Xun knows, the recent political situation, extremely unfavorable to himself, through these days of quiet thinking, Li Xun has some understanding, he now seems to have military power, in Longyou is also a character, but in the capital, he has no foundation, a little thing happened, and he will fall.
Putting aside his personal feelings with You Min, if he really combines with You Min and gets the support of the You family and the Liu family, he will no longer be alone in the court.
Following Liu Jiu, Li Xun pondered all the way, and at this time, he couldn't help but think of Li Yi and Zhao Xun.
My aunt is a big help to herself, but her limitations are too strong, everything depends on Zhao Zhi's face, for example, in recent times, the relationship between Zhao Zhi and Li Yi has been a little estranged, and an undercurrent in the court rushed towards herself, at this time, Li Yi's energy was very weak and weak.
As for Zhao Xun, Li Xun shook his head secretly, his cousin, once upon a time, the relationship between the two was very close, but with Zhao Xun from the palace to build an independent mansion, Zhao Xun's whole person has changed a lot, from the appearance, maybe it is still that Zhao Xun, but after more contact, Li Xun found that Zhao Xun is more and more city government, in the past, his supporter was the left party represented by Liu Wei, with the fall of the left party, now, who is Zhao Xun's supporter? How many forces did he secretly cultivate, and how many ministers did he befriend? Li Xun didn't know anything about all this, although he and Zhao Xun were cousins, but only now did Li Xun realize that he had never entered the core of Zhao Xun.
Coming to the backyard lobby, it is very lively, outside the courtyard, hundreds of people sit in the open air, chatting and talking poetry, the scene is very cheerful, from time to time someone sings loudly, attracting a cheer.
When Liu Jiu arrived, everyone got up and bowed down.
A middle-aged man in his forties greeted Liu Jiu with a smile: "Second brother, you are here." ”
This person is called Liu Chang, the eighth brother of Liu Zhigu and Liu Jiu, and is now on duty in the Ministry of Rites.
Liu Jiu smiled: "Eighth child, can there be a masterpiece?" ”
Liu Chang shook his head: "Not yet." ”
Liu Jiu nodded, didn't say much, and led Li Xun into the lobby.
Inside the lobby, there are not many people, less than forty people, and there are a few vacant seats, which are reserved for people outside, if anyone can have a good work and get Liu Jiu's appreciation, they can enter the lobby.
It can also be seen from this that although it is a poetry club, it also has a hierarchy, those people outside, although they are also from the family, but either the family is general, or their own status in the family is not high, and they are not qualified to enter the house, such as Li Xiao, who does not like to read since he was a child, he obviously can't make good poems, but he can directly enter the inner hall, and Gao Feng, outside, but he has made a few good poems in a row, and he can be said to be the most eye-catching person in the audience, very talented, but because of the relationship between the family and his own concubine, If you don't create a masterpiece, you can only stay outside.
Entering the inner hall, everyone got up and greeted Liu Jiu, although Liu Jiu had resigned, but he was a big celebrity in the capital, known as Tongru, very famous.
"Brother Li, come to me."
Seeing Li Xun, Li Xiao waved his hand again and again, and the seat next to him was always empty, obviously reserved for Li Xun.
Li Xun came to Li Xiao and sat down, a long table, two people seated.
Li Xun looked left and right and found You Min, the latter's gaze was also looking at him at the moment, and Zhang Yuan, who was beside her, was hostile and jealous.
Liu Jiu came to the top of the table, glanced at everyone present, and said loudly: "Since the old man is the chief commentator of this poetry meeting, he should be an example and write a poem first. ”
Tens of thousands of ends, who knows what is wrong and what is right;
Right and wrong are dwarfed, and the same reputation is ruined.
For more than three seasons, Dash seems to be unrepresented.
is stupid in the vulgar, and should obey Huang Qi.
Liu Jiu was also a romantic person when he was young, he was good at wine, poetry, and lust, and on such occasions, it can be said that his strength.
At the beginning of Liu Jiu, a superb work, it immediately attracted everyone's applause, and the atmosphere of the scene was suddenly pushed to **.
"Everyone, be quiet, listen to the old man."
Liu Jiu picked up his wine glass and smiled, and the lobby suddenly fell silent.
"How can you have fun without poetry and wine, we beat the drum and pass the flowers, and whoever has the hairpin flowers will give the poems."
"That's the best."
"As Liu Lao wishes."
Everyone applauded, Minglan Poetry Club, there are many ways to play, drumming and passing flowers, is one of them, and it is also the one that everyone prefers.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the first glass of wine, Liu Jiu sat down, picked up a hairpin from the table, and passed it to others.
This game is really good, everyone present, they are very happy to play, some talented people, but also hope that the hairpin can be passed on to themselves, so as to perform, of course, there are a few people, not interested in this game, Li Xun and Li Xiao are the main representatives.
"Brother Li, do you know how to compose poetry?"
"No, what about you?"
"Neither will I."
"Then drink."
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Xun from time to time, his eyes were full of coldness, because, although You Min was sitting next to him, her gaze, at most, was always at Li Xun, which made the jealousy in Zhang Yuan's heart almost unbearable.
The drummer is also a clever man, he is very thoughtful, he can see which people want to compose poetry, and which people are not interested in it, so he controls the drumming and focuses on those who want to perform, and deliberately ignores those who just want to drink and have fun.
Li Xun's gaze, many times, is also on You Min's side, Zhang Yuan always pesters You Min to speak, there are many body movements, You Min endures and endures, the whole person is not happy at all, and his expression is even more lonely.
Li Xun drank silently, for some reason, seeing this scene, he felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time he didn't understand, You Min obviously didn't like Zhang Yuan, why did he have to be so forbearant with him?
At this time, Zhang Yuan whispered something to a young man at the adjacent table, and the young man looked at Li Xun, then there was a bad smile on his face, nodded, got up and walked to the drum, replaced the subordinate, and began to beat the drum.
After staying for a while, Li Xun was already a little bored, but in this scene, he couldn't leave first, so he had to drink silently alone.
The drum sound stopped, and everyone's eyes were on Li Xun's side, Li Xiao was fighting with the two young men at the next table, and felt strange at this time, but when he turned around, he found that the hairpin was right on their table.
Li Xiao picked up the hairpin and was about to pass it to another table.
"Li Xiao, don't break the rules, whoever the hairpin flower passes to will give a poem, this has been said a long time ago."
Someone immediately spoke out to stop Li Xiao's move.
Zhang Yuan also lost no time in laughing loudly: "I didn't expect that our General Li would also be willing to write a poem, it is rumored that General Li is not fluent in literature and ink, it seems that the rumors are wrong." ”
Li Xun put down the wine glass, picked up the hairpin, glanced at Zhang Yuan, and saw that although his face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of mockery, and many people looked at him with disdain.
Li Xiao was about to speak, but Li Xun shook his head, stood up, and said loudly: "Since everyone is interested, I, Li Xun, am not too happy, let's give it a try." ”
"Brother Li, you've drunk too much."
Li Xiao said in a low voice, what is Li Xun's background, who doesn't know the people present? Let him compose poetry, it is really difficult for some strong people.
"Perhaps."
Li Xun said silently, at this moment, he was full of wine, and he couldn't help but think of everything he had experienced since he came to this world, and now he thought about it carefully, as if in a dream.
Li Xun closed his eyes and pondered, and was silent for a long time, and the people present saw that he had not moved for a long time, and immediately whispered, the mocking smile on Zhang Yuan's face became even thicker, and You Min looked at Li Xun worriedly.
Liu Jiu looked at Li Xun, shook his head, and was about to make a statement....
At this time, Li Xun opened his eyes violently, and a poem suddenly came to mind in his mind.
"Swore to sweep Tubo without regard for himself, and 20,000 mink brocade lost his dust. Poor Langzhou city bones, still a person in a spring boudoir dream. ”
The lobby was quiet for a moment, everyone was looking at Li Xun blankly, everyone was reminiscing about the situation in the poem, two years ago, hundreds of thousands of troops in Tibet invaded, although the Great Jin Dynasty achieved a brilliant victory, but also killed 20,000 soldiers, these soldiers defended the country, desperate, they turned into white bones after death, poor their wives and children are still waiting to meet them in their dreams.
Li Xiao was the first to applaud, his hands snapped loudly, and the others also reacted at this time, the thunderous applause suddenly sounded, and the cheers were endless, even You Min looked at Li Xun in surprise, and couldn't help but applaud, Liu Jiu's face was shocked, and it was difficult to recall: "It's still a person in a spring boudoir dream..... It's like a person in a spring boudoir dream. ”
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Xun with jealousy, gritting his teeth with hatred, he originally wanted Li Xun to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect it.......
Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Xun was extremely proud, put aside all his troubles, raised his head and laughed: "It doesn't matter who he is, this poem, in this world, is the work of labor and management." ”
Li Xun's drunkenness surged, his temperament was completely open, thinking of the eventful years in Wuzhou, the pride in his chest couldn't help but erupt, and he said loudly: "How can a person who is in the army be only literate and not martial? ”
Li Xun grabbed the wine jug, took out the long sword in his waist, and walked to the lobby in three steps, with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the wind was loud, the wine jug in his left hand, and the long sword in his right hand.
Li Xun raised his head, drank a few sips of wine, and then the long sword danced, majestic, while dancing the sword, he loudly exported a poem: "Drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp." Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier. ”
Li Xun's movements may be a little fancy in the eyes of connoisseurs, and they are not useful, but at this moment, the smooth movements, and the poems that are full of chapters have pushed his heroic feelings to the extreme, and the vast majority of people present stood up.
Zhang Yuan said disdainfully: "This poem is of different lengths, it is not a poem at all, and you dare to show it off?" ”
You Min looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun has fought for the country and made a lot of meritorious contributions, you are an idle scholar, what qualifications do you have to say about him?" ”
Zhang Yuan's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "You Min, pay attention to your attitude, it is you who beg me, you are a ...... who is being bullied by others."
Li Xun looked at Zhang Yuan fiercely, his eyes were cold, Zhang Yuan was intimidated by his momentum, and he was speechless.
"The horse-made Lu is fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt."
Li Xun raised his head, drank the last drop of wine in the wine jug, and then took two steps forward, the long sword swung out, its strength sank, a sword was slashing Zhang Yuan's table, a loud sound, the table was separated to both sides, Zhang Yuan leaned back, half on the ground, looking at Li Xun with a pale face, and the lobby suddenly exclaimed.
Li Xun laughed, slowly put the sword into the sheath, looked straight at You Min, and chanted the last sentence: "But the king of the world, win the name before and after his death, poor white happens!" 2k reading web
