Chapter 16 The White Lady
Zhu Wen, this great warlord, obediently, the founding emperor of the Later Liang! This is the right-hand man of the Huangchao rebels, and later felt that there was no way out with the Huangchao, so he defected to the Tang Dynasty, the emperor accepted him very generously, and gave the name Zhu Quanzhong, named Xuanwu Jiedu Envoy, in charge of Bianliang and attached to more than ten states, what is the existence of the Jiedu Envoy, although the official is not the second grade, but the power is undoubtedly the largest, the middle and late Tang Dynasty Jiedu envoy is the soil emperor, nominally obeying the Tang Central Committee (some do not even listen to the name), but all the power in its ruling area has its own control. These powers include administrative, military, financial, tax, civil, criminal and prison powers. Therefore, the festival envoy actually became the master of the small court of the divided side. It is said that as soon as Zhu Wen arrived in Bianliang, he eliminated dissidents, firmly controlled the jurisdiction in his own hands, and then conquered the east and west, expanded the territory, and finally forced the emperor to abdicate. Ruthless character, definitely ruthless character! And now, Cheng Zhiyuan is undoubtedly Zhu Wen's biggest stumbling block!
This old Cheng is in a worrying situation!
Duan Mingyu looked at Cheng Zhiyuan like a dead man now: "Then what is Brother Cheng's official position after he leaves office?"
Cheng Zhiyuan said decadently: "Xuanwu Army Inspector"
It's over, it's completely hopeless, this is to supervise Zhu Wen? What is the emperor doing to eat, he actually gave a powerful and dangerous official to Lao Cheng, the supervision envoy, obviously the role of catching Zhu Wen's pigtails, but he is the emperor of the soil here. If you really want to catch it, wouldn't it be the old birthday star hanging himself - is it a long life?
Duan Mingyu listened to Cheng Zhiyuan's tone, and was indeed full of worries about the future.
Cheng Zhiyuan said: "Being a brother is worried about his future."
Duan Mingyu said: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be like this, the future of fame and fame is something outside the body, and it can't be forced, Brother Cheng should think of it as a snake, slowly figure it out, and relax for the time being." The younger brother also made a new song, and the right should be given to the brother to chat for comfort. ”
Cheng Zhiyuan said: "Listen to my brother when I am listening"
Duan Mingyu walked a few steps, took the fan, shook the folding fan like a sign, and whetted his appetite, and then said slowly: "On the gold list, I occasionally miss the dragon's hope." Ming Dynasty temporary relics, how to? The attempt is convenient, and the struggle is not to wander wildly, so why talk about loss. A talented lyricist, he is a white-clothed minister.
Fireworks Alley, Yiyo Danqing Barrier. Fortunately, there is a person who can be searched. And the red leaning on the green, the romance and the life are smooth. Youth is all over the place. endured the floating name and changed it to a shallow low singing. ”
It doesn't matter which sage wrote this poem, in this place, what comes out of his mouth belongs to someone in his section.
Duan Mingyu then comforted: "Brother Tai was originally a literati, but he was involved in this chaotic temple dispute, how can a proud literati endure the intrigue of officialdom, how can a dashing genius be tied by the court, Brother Cheng is an elegant family, why bother with this ordinary officialdom, why not sing in a low voice, regardless of the fame?" ”
Cheng Zhiyuan sighed, as if he had just woken up from a dream, was he really not suitable for the ups and downs of the sea of Huan? I am merry by nature, and I am not a power-hungry officialdom who is good at singing the wind and moon. What is my ideal, to pay homage to the Prime Minister?
Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at Duan Mingyu deeply again: "Duan Xiandi's words are still so natural and fluent, plain as words, catchy to read, and the style is a bit unique, Xia Guan really admires it." ”
Duan Mingyu shook his head: "Brother Cheng, stop quickly, the words of the worker, this is Xiao Daoer." ”
Cheng Zhiyuan hugged his fists and said: "Brother Xian is not burdened by ordinary things, brother is really ashamed, but looking at how many talented people in Shilin have not studied hard for decades for Feihuang Tengda, and it is difficult to look down on fame! ." ”
"I'm not saying that I don't pursue that noble body, on the contrary, my younger brother also loves money and wants to live the life of a big official, but since my brother is not allowed by the official place, why force it, I simply pursue the leisure life I want with full of talent. The eldest brother is a "white-clothed prime minister", so why should he be dressed in a python robe above the court? Duan Mingyu pretended to be profound.
Cheng Zhiyuan listened to this, and said after a long time: "Thank you Brother Xian for your guidance, the foolish brother has been up and down for many years, and he has long forgotten his ambition when he was young. If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and the marquis is just a way, and it is the foolish brother who has fallen behind. True talent should not be questioned, in this era there are many learned people who have not been reused, like many people have been temporarily forgotten, as long as one day they meet the stage of display, they can be a blockbuster, and then their ambitions will naturally be realized one by one. ”
Duan Mingyu smiled: "Brother Tai can realize that this is the best, in his position to seek his own government, if you can't be official, just look away, the second emperor invited me not to come, Lao Tzu is not bad for this meal, happy to be at ease." ”
Cheng Zhiyuan saw that Duan Mingyu said so righteously and righteously before, and his eyes couldn't help showing such appreciation, cough cough, I don't know why, Duan Mingyu actually got angry at the last moment, and his good image became so obscene in an instant: "Brother Xian, don't talk nonsense, you and I must not use the person here today as a talking point." ”
Duan Mingyu took a deep breath, damn, I forgot the power of the emperor. If these words are heard by outsiders and reported to the government, they will be killed.
"My fault, my fault, the people of the mountains and the wilderness are used to it, hehe, they don't choose what to say, big brother Quan I didn't say it." Duan Mingyu pretended to be smiling and said.
Cheng Zhiyuan said: "Well, I can see that the virtuous brother didn't do it on purpose, and the foolish brother didn't hear anything!" But Brother Xian, listen to your poem just now is wonderful, but there is a prodigal son thought that violates the norms of reality, but it is true, Brother Xian is not a person in my officialdom, and it is best not to enter the priesthood in the future, if you have to enter the officialdom, you must think twice, so as not to be taken by someone with a heart. ”
Cheng Zhiyuan is telling the truth, Duan Mingyu is the champion, only because the emperor fled that he has no official position, now that the rebels have fled to Shandong, the emperor is about to return to Chang'an, and it is not impossible to use Duan Mingyu, but this sea is ups and downs, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out!
Duan Mingyu said: "Thank you for the kind words of the eldest brother, the younger brother must be a good student." "Fainting, not to mention how tired you are to be an official, you have to take care of so many people's eating, drinking, and Lazar all day long, and you have to be careful everywhere to prevent accidents. Don't talk about being careful everywhere, I don't know why these people bother to go to the scientific examination, the Tang Dynasty only admitted more than 30 people at a time, just thinking of making up for Xu Zuye's evil "imperial examination instructions" scared Lao Xu and fled, how did this champion Lao Tzu get mixed up, it was really a strange thing against the sky.
